Salamè (Japanese: サラメ Salamè) is a Pokémon owned by X in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

History

As a Charmander

Salamè was originally a starter Pokémon owned by Professor Sycamore. Salamè was first seen as a Charmander in They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping, standing besides Professor Sycamore and his Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

Prior to What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes?, Charmander ran away from Sycamore's lab and took a nap in the flowerbeds on Route 4. As he slept, his tail accidentally came in contact with the flowers, setting them ablaze. As Charmander freaked out, the Froakie that was traveling with X's group put the fire out with his Frubbles. When Chespin and Froakie recognized Charmander, X's group realized he must belong to Professor Sycamore. They decided to take Charmander and return him to the professor, but he was taken by Sina and Dexio after they mistook X's group for thieves. Using his Roller Skates, Tierno took back Charmander and explained the situation to Sina and Dexio.

After returning Charmander Professor Sycamore questioned why X didn't let Chespin on his team. When X explained why, Professor Sycamore decided to have a battle and made X use Chespin while he used Charmander. X agreed, but refused to actively take a part in the battle, forcing Chespin to fight by himself. With no Trainer and at a type-disadvantage, Chespin was dealt heavy blows, but refused to give up. Chespin's determination managed to impress X enough to actually take a part in the battle, and had him attack with Rollout. Despite the powerful attack, Chespin was defeated. After the battle was over, X decided to keep Chespin and named him Marisso, and also took Charmander, which he nicknamed Salamè.

In Pangoro Poses a Problem, Salamè teamed up with Kanga and Marisso to battle the Lumiose Press editor-in-chief to protect Alexa. While Kanga and Marisso battled Pangoro, Salamè began to fight one of the chief's Spewpa. Due to it using Rage Powder, he was unable to listen to X's commands when he told him to attack the Pangoro. He eventually defeated the Spewpa, but was left exhausted, allowing Pangoro to grab him and Marisso with its paws. X then told Salamè to release his tail, which caused Pangoro's leaf to burn up. Without the leaf allowing it to sense what Kanga and Li'l Kanga were doing, the two quickly defeated it. In PAXY22, Salamè trained alongside Marisso under the tutelage of Gurkinn. Eventually, Salamè and Marisso evolved into a Charmeleon and Quilladin, respectively. Salamè was later used in X's attempt to break into Team Flare's hideout in Geosenge Town. While sneaking in, Salamè used Incinerate to defeat a Team Flare Grunt's Noibat. Once inside Salamè, teamed up with Marisso to fight Lysandre's Pyroar and Mienfoo. After a quick fight, X recalled them both so he could battle with one of his Pokémon that could Mega Evolve.

After X and his friends left to confront Team Flare at the Pokémon Village, X revealed that Salamè began refusing to leave its Poké Ball after seeing the rest of X's team have their Mega Stones react to the Anistar City sundial. X later realized that Salamè became depressed due to fear that it may not be able to handle to power of Mega Evolution when it would evolve into a Charizard. After seeing Marisso risk itself to protect it from Xerosic's Malamar, Salamè regained its confidence and joined the battle. Although Xerosic was confident that Charizard did not have a Mega Evolution, Salamè revealed that it had been keeping a piece of Charizardite X on its tail the entire time.

Personality and characteristics

Salamè is an absentminded and ditsy Pokémon. He is very easygoing and tends to move at his own pace, which sometimes results in him causing trouble for others. He has a habit of holding his tail, which he retained even after evolving.
