Leon's Charizard (Shining Bonds)

**Blazefire** (Japanese: **ブレイズファイア** *Bureizufaia*) is Leon's main battling Pokémon in the *Shining Bonds* franchise.

## Bio

### Appearance

Like all Charizard, Blazefire is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon. He is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of his tail. He has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of his rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in the upper jaw when his mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from his back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the third joint of each wing. A single wing-finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Blazefire's arms are short and skinny compared to his robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. He has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of his plantigrade feet. The tip of his long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame.

As Mega Charizard Y, he becomes sleeker in appearance but retains his normal coloration. He has three pointed horns on the back of his head, the middle of which is longer. His snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. His neck is shorter, but his torso is thinner and longer. He features longer digitigrade feet. His hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on his wrists, while the ones on his back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of his tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. This form is said to have incredible flying prowess that is greater than a jet fighter.

As Gigantamax Charizard, he becomes larger and physically fit. The lower part of his body glows white with several yellow diamonds located on the lower belly. There are also diamond-shaped spots located on the front legs. The claws located on his hands and feet become longer and sharp. The feet become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The wings are transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blades and two flames located on the horns. The colossal flamed wings were created from the energy of Gigantamaxing. The sclera of the eyes becomes yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. The flame on the tail extends out and has three red clouds surrounding it, like most other Gigantamax Pokémon. The flames within Gigantamax Charizard burns hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. When he roars, the temperature can climb to even higher lengths. The wings are capable of being hotter than magma which Blazefire uses to burn his opponents.

### Personality

Blazefire is a powerful Pokémon, being able to defeat Pokémon belonging to Champions, such as Lance's Red Gyarados, Ash's Pikachu, and even Elfreda's Tsareena Fruity. Blazefire is also close with Leon, as seen when he gave his Trainer a high five after their victory over Lance. After winning, Blazefire tends to fire a Flamethrower into the sky. Like most hero Pokémon, he is also protective of other Pokémon, meaning getting burned if somebody harms them. Sometimes, however, he can lose control of his fire powers when angered.

## Trivia

* Blazefire's G-Max form was not seen in SBSB, and he didn't get any powerups to replace it.

* When Nina first meets Blazefire, she is shocked to see a G-Max form, confirming that she is *not* familiar with powerups for Pokémon like this one's altogether.

* Chronologically speaking, Blazefire is one of the first Pokémon to have their Sync Move used for both normal reasons *and* purification.
