You watch as she finishes bathing herself, towel at the ready. You had her since you were 10, starting out at Oak's lab and receiving her as a Charmander. You two have both fought your way through the region, eventually challenging the Elite Four. You won, but you turned down the position of Champion, liking your life as is. You released all your other pokemon so they could find families, all except her. She wouldn't leave your side. She loves and cares for you with all her heart

She shakes her wings out as her tail sways on the ground, the flame at the tip burning brightly

*I'm ready to be dried master."
