Alain's Charizard

**Alain's Charizard**, also known as **Aran no Lizardon**, is a character from the *Pokemon* series.

Alain's Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon owned by Alain and is his main partner. He picked it as his first partner Pokémon, when Charizard was a Charmander. When it used to Mega Evolve, it would change into a Fire/Dragon-type Pokémon.

In the XP4 fics, Alain's Charizard debuted in XP4 Heroes Coalition - Kick-Off!.

## **Appearance**

Charizard had a large, dragon-like appearance. It had an orange skin tone with a yellow belly, it had a slightly short arms with claws and short legs with sharp toes, it had a blue-colored eyes and a horn on top of its' head. It had a pair of large bat-like wings with a blue under skin and a long tail with a flaming tip. It wears an armor around it's neck.

## **Personality**

Charizard appears to be very similar to Alain. It seems very proud of its power and is always willing to battle with other Pokémon. Charizard and Alain both travel to fulfill their dream of defeating every Mega Evolved Pokémon and Charizard has a remarkably strong connection with Alain. It is extremely loyal and caring of him and the two of them have been shown together having fun, traveling together, and participating in intense Pokémon battles.

As a Charmander, it was shown to be very affectionate to Alain and vice versa, even though they just met. Alain called it "sweet". This trait of it remains as a Charizard; when he introduced himself and his Charizard to Mairin, he was shown petting it to its delight. Charizard was also seen enjoying being petted by Professor Sycamore when he and Alain briefly reunited during the Lumiose Conference.

Despite their close bond, however, Charizard does not hesitate to let Alain know when it disagrees with him. When Alain coldly rebuffed Mairin, out of fear she would get hurt travelling with him, Charizard briefly growled, as if to inquire if Alain was sure about what he was doing.
