History

As a Charmander

Salamè was originally a starter Pokémon owned by Professor Sycamore. Salamè debuted as a Charmander in PS552, standing besides Professor Sycamore and his Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

Prior to PS558, Charmander ran away from Sycamore's lab and took a nap in the flowerbeds on Route 4. As she slept, her 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 she must belong to Professor Sycamore. They decided to take Charmander and return her to the professor, but she 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 PS562, 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, she was unable to listen to X's commands when he told her to attack the Pangoro. She eventually defeated the Spewpa, but was left exhausted, allowing Pangoro to grab her and Marisso with its paws. X then told Salamè to release her 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.

As a Charmeleon

In Quilladin Stands, 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.

In Malamar Traps, after X and his friends left to confront Team Flare at the Pokémon Village, X revealed that Salamè began refusing to leave her 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 the fear that she may not be able to handle the power of Mega Evolution when she evolved into a Charizard. After seeing Marisso risk himself to protect her from Xerosic's Malamar, Salamè regained his confidence and joined the battle. Although Xerosic was confident that Charizard did not have a Mega Evolution, Salamè revealed that she had been keeping a Charizardite X on her tail the entire time.

Despite this, Xerosic refuses to give up and continues battling by sending out more Pokémon to fight. Blue joins in the fight to assist X, revealing that he is also a Mega Evolution Successor possessing a Key Stone in the process. After Salamè evolves into her final form, both X and Blue activate their Key Stones to evolve both of their Pokémon into Mega Charizard X for X and Mega Charizard Y for Blue. The combined might of both Mega-Evolved Pokémon easily defeats Xerosic. Salamè later tries to help suppress Mewtwo's rage at the Pokémon Village alongside Charizard, Rhyperior, and Marisso. Despite their numbers Mewtwo keeps the advantage, easily knocking them away with Psywave.

In Xerneas Gives, X had his final battle against Lysandre and his Zygarde. X used the power of five Key Stones to simultaneously Mega Evolve his five capable Pokémon at once. With their combined strength, Salamè, Kanga, Li'l Kanga, Élec, Garma, and Rute fought against Zygarde into order to defeat it. The combined might of X's team successfully forced Zygarde to split apart into its Cells, which led to Lysandre's defeat.

Personality and characteristics

Salamè and X

Salamè's Charizardite X

Salamè is an absentminded and ditsy Pokémon. She is very easygoing and tends to move at her own pace, which sometimes results in her causing trouble for others. She has a habit of holding her tail, which she retained even after evolving into Charmeleon and Charizard, and she does so to protect her Charizardite X. Prior to her evolution into Charizard, she had a lot of self-doubt about evolving and later Mega Evolving, but she was able to overcome it with the help of his childhood friend, Marisso.
