Ash's Pov

"What the hell..." I complained as I got up, my mind trying to process the situation. "Is that him?" I looked around, spotting the same Mareep again. I decided to ask it for help.

"Hey, Mareep, can you help me out... do you know where he went?" Mareep simply nodded and started running towards the tree where Mewtwo resided. Oh no, having these two together could be a problem.

As I got closer, I saw Mewtwo floating high above, and Charizard standing on the ground, growling. When did he get this better?

"Ash, you better take this runt away," Mewtwo suggested, sounding almost like a warning directed at both Charizard and me. I had a feeling Charizard had ticked him off.

Charizard was trying to open his wings, which were stuck together from healing. It was surreal to witness this miraculous recovery. His wounds had sealed up, and I could hardly believe my eyes.

"Charizard, don't try to fight him... you're not in a state to do it," I pleaded, hoping to prevent any further pain for him, but Charizard remained stubborn, not willing to back down.

"Runt, you have my word, I will battle you when you are in a better condition," Mewtwo responded, seemingly uninterested in battling Charizard at the moment. Charizard's ego was certainly hurt by that statement.

Unleashing a loud roar, Charizard sent a fierce flamethrower at Mewtwo, who effortlessly deflected it. I knew it wasn't the right time for them to battle, and I ran towards Charizard, trying to calm him down.

"Buddy, not now, you can't battle him in your current state. When you're ready, we'll face him, I promise. Not now, please," I pleaded, hoping he would understand. Thankfully, he seemed to relent, but still held his ground.

"At least you have some sense, Ash," Mewtwo said, acknowledging my plea. I continued to caress Charizard, reassuring him.

"Come on, buddy, let's go back for now... when we're ready, we'll face him together and emerge victorious," I said, seeking his confirmation. He nodded, indicating his agreement, and we began to slowly walk back to our place on the island.

As we rested under the same tree where Charizard had healed, I laid my head on his giant body, feeling a sense of comfort in his presence.

"I can't believe you healed up so fast," I remarked, still amazed by his rapid recovery. Charizard responded with a nod and a slight grumble.

"You know what happened, right?... most of our friends are gone," I said, knowing he was aware of the loss we had suffered.

"We'll get those bastards for them, won't we?" I asked, seeking assurance that we would avenge our fallen friends. In response, Charizard snorted out a fierce flame, confirming his determination to stand with me against any adversary.

3rd Person Pov

As each day passed, Ash and Charizard's bond grew stronger, reaching an unprecedented level that wouldn't have been possible without the isolation on the island. A curious Mareep observed Ash's actions, following him around all day and keeping an eye on him and Charizard. Ash, too, noticed the Mareep's presence and found it intriguing.

Charizard's health was improving at a remarkable rate. On the third day after awakening, he attempted to fly, but his efforts resulted in a plummet from the sky, though he managed to jolt himself up.

On the fourth day, Ash suggested trying flying once more, but this time slowly and with ease. Charizard initially tried to forcefully flap his wings to launch himself into the sky, but Ash intervened, instructing him to take it slow and flap his wings gently. With Ash's guidance, Charizard gradually propelled himself off the ground and stabilized in the air.
