Charizard

Charizard according to his scatterbrained self
Hi, I'm a shy, lonely pokemon that grew up in the mountains around Johto. I was raised mostly by my mom while my dad was off looking for food or keeping an eye out for danger. Occasionally he would spend time with me, teaching me about the dangers of humans and trying to teach me how to fight, I was not very good at it. Around the time I was a charmeleon some poachers set up a camp near our home, and Dad would go out every day to attack them in an attempt to drive them off. He would often come home wounded with mom worrying about him, until one day he came home with the poachers following after him. Dad was killed while me and mom ran from gunfire. Part of me hates dad for not just leaving them alone and avoiding them so we could live in peace, but I still miss him. I have come to forgive him recently though, during a trip to visit my mother when I stayed at the old cliff we used to live on. I had a dream that night that made me understand why he did the things he did.

Me and mom settled in a cave farther south of our old home after we had gotten away. I lived here with her until I became a Charizard and she began to urge me to go and see the world. I didn't want to leave her since she was the only pokemon I still knew, but eventually I did and went out to roam around Kanto. I was depressed out on my own and would rummage through market dumpsters for alchohol and junk food.

Eventually I got caught, even though I don't really remember how, but anyway I now live in Saffron City with my trainer and now in Blackthorn city. I used to live next door to a persian who was a rival to me, as we were both being trained for contests. Other pokemon started making fun of me for being a tame contest pokemon, so I started to get drunk and go out on my own, often hurting myself in fits of rage. Thankfully I have gotten a better handle on that lately.

My problems started to calm down a bit when one day as I was staying in the daycare center, I met a female Rhydon and an egg appeared out of nowhere while we were talking. When my trainer came to pick me up, the egg came with us and eventually hatched into my son, Charizard Junior. He's not the same species as me but I have grown to love him all the same. I train with him sometimes but I have to be careful now since he's becoming much stronger than me! He has already gotten all eight gym badges and has completed his elite four challenge. This does kinda make him more restless now with fewer goals to chase after

I've always been pretty fat and I still usually get made fun of for it, although I have been told by many pokemon that I am warm and soft and make a wonderful bed! I love to have other pokemon sleep on top of me, it makes me feel useful and loved, and those are feelings I can always use more of!

One of my greatest friends, Linny, passed away. I am very upset by his death and now feel compelled to be the best father I can, since he always tried to encourage me to be better. I feel like it is somehow my duty to look after his son now, who is free of his trainer. It has been very rewarding to see him growing a personality as of late.

I was dating another Charizard, but sadly though she has vanished without a trace lately, and I still have not gotten over it. I hold out hope that she will one day return.

I was attacked by a group of shady murkrow that had moved in to Saffron. They extorted me for anything of value, and I was about to hand over my contest ribbons and medals when junior stepped in and started attacking them. He evolved during this and he managed to chase them off. Later, my mom said not to worry about them anymore, and I never saw the murkrow again.

I still have not really forgiven Giovanni for his scheme to take over the league or whatever. I don't trust him anymore, weird to think that I ever did.

Now I am mostly living at home still as a housepet. It had been hard to find things to keep me amused lately and I have been spending most of my time worrying about my sons. I am thinking about getting back in to contests

I will have to organize my thoughts better at a later date, but this update will do for now! I may have even left some things out that I forgot about!

As of this update, Junior has gone off on his own. I do miss him and hope he is okay

Charizard
Charizard is a jolly pokemon who, though often troubled with fears, worries and anxieties, tries his best to be a positive influence to those in his life. He loves showing affection to those he cares about, and can become uncharacteristically cold to those who he develops a grudge against. He was born in Johto, was captured near Saffron, ironically by a firefighter, and began to live with him in Saffron City before eventually moving with his trainer to Blackthorn City. Charizard had a short lived battling career after being captured. He hated being made to fight and was injured badly in the last battle his trainer took him to. After that his trainer had enough empathy to allow him to essentially live as a pet, without the pain and strife of fighting.

He is often quite lazy and has been very overweight most of his life. He is very self conscious about it, often struggling to feel okay with who he is, and failing at many attempts at dieting and exercise. Charizard distrusts trainers because he abhors pokemon battling, thinking it a cruel way for people to get entertainment, especially the lengths they go to the more they want to win. He himself is rather unfit and poor at defending himself or fighting, which has made some pokemon think of him cowardly for a charizard.

Charizard has a love of pokemon contests, particularly cute contests, which he does surprisingly well in despite his species. He has a collection of contest ribbons which he sees as one of his greatest accomplishments. Ever since he moved to Blackthorn city, he has not been as active in contests as he used to be.

Charizard has two children, an adopted Croconaw, who is constantly making trouble, and a Rhydon, who is the epitome of the strong silent type, and is usually trying to look after his rather defenseless father. Charizard is also a godfather of sorts to Rhubarb, the child of one of his best friends who has now passed away. Charizard rather enjoys taking care of others and is happiest when he is both giving receiving affection and appreciation.

Charizard was born wild, to a strong willed mother and fierce and often distant father whom he trouble getting along with for most of his life. One day his father was killed by hunters while defending his family from them. Young Charizard felt like this was mostly his fathers fault, for he was very hostile to any and all humans he came across. This feeling of loss and anger would stay with Charizard until many years later when he returned to his childhood home and experienced a rather vivid dream which ended with his father apologizing to him and his mother. Charizard was able to put his frustration and anger with his father behind him after that night.

Charizard is currently alone, his first and only girlfriend he ever had vanished one day without a trace, and event he still hasn't gotten over and is still greatly troubling to him.

Twitter
I started playing along with everyone else when the Pokemon twitter fad started popping up. When everyone else got bored and left I just kept going along with things out of boredom at the time. I guess I got addicted to the feeling of pseudo popularity as I got more followers and well here I am now, still playing on twitter with everyone else.
