Plot[]
When Ash Ketchum hears of the Charicific Valley, he is sure a trip there will boost his Charizard's spirits, but when they reach the valley, they find its Charizard denizens are anything but cordial. In the end, Ash leaves Charizard in the valley to train to become stronger. As Ash runs, tears stream down his face as he silently hopes that Charizard will train as hard as he can in the Charicific Valley and that Charizard won't forget him. Charizard bids his Trainer farewell by roaring and firing a Flamethrower into the sky as Ash, knowing that he can't look back, keeps running.
