Charmander suddenly stopped moving on top of the dining table.
In the next instant, a dazzling white light burst from its body.
…Was it evolving?
Sam hadn't expected this at all. He had planned for Charmander to complete its evolution during a battle, not right here—on a dining table.
"Get down, Charmander—no, Charleon now," Sam said with a smile.
However, after evolving, Charleon didn't obey.
Instead of getting down, it continued eating the food on the table as if nothing had happened.
The smile on Sam's face froze.
His expression turned cold.
Ash, Brock, and Misty, who were sitting at the sa table, instantly sensed that sothing was wrong. None of them dared to speak as they silently watched.
Sam frowned deeply.
He hadn't expected the sa situation that happened to Ash to happen to him as well.
After evolving and suddenly gaining power, Charleon had beco confused about its own position.
Sam smiled again—but this ti, the smile was chilling.
"I'll say it one last ti," Sam said coldly.
"Get down from the table. Now."
The icy tone in his voice made Ash and the others instinctively tense up. This was the first ti they had ever seen Sam this angry.
Charleon finally turned around and looked at Sam.
The mont their eyes t, Charleon's heart trembled.
It wanted to say sothing.
Sam didn't give it the chance.
"Gengar."
"Kou jie… kou jie…"
Gengar appeared silently behind Sam.
It looked at Charleon with curiosity, clearly confused. Even it and Tyranitar obediently followed Sam's orders—who gave Charleon the courage to challenge him?
"Kou jie jie…"
The mont Gengar locked onto it, Charleon instantly snapped back to its senses.
Only then did it realize how foolish its behavior had been.
Charleon hurriedly climbed down from the table and stood behind Sam, head lowered, no longer displaying any trace of its earlier arrogance.
Sam didn't even look at it.
He recalled Charleon into its Poké Ball.
Everyone had to pay for their choices.
Charleon was no exception.
What awaited it next was hellish training.

"Sam… your Charmander wasn't caught in the wild, was it?"
Brock asked carefully.
Sam had already regained his composure. He smiled, nodded, and said calmly,
"No. It was abandoned."
Brock suddenly understood.
"So that's why…"
"How could you tell, Brock?" Sam asked curiously.
Brock took a sip of water and explained slowly,
"Pokémon caught normally by Trainers rarely rebel after evolving. This usually only happens with Pokémon that were abandoned and then taken in again."
"Maybe because of the trauma of being abandoned, once they suddenly gain power through evolution, their personality changes drastically."
Seeing Brock's cautious expression, Sam understood what he was really worried about.
As expected—Brock was always gentle.
"Don't worry," Sam said.
"I won't bla Charleon."
Brock smiled and scratched his head, relieved.

Back in the suite, Sam left all the other Pokémon outside the bedroom and brought only Charleon inside.
"Clefairy…"
Clefairy wanted to say sothing, but Ivysaur stopped her.
"Vysa… saur."
Everyone had to take responsibility for their actions.
Charleon would be punished.
There was a hint of concern on Tyranitar's usually cold face. To be honest, it liked Charleon—but as Ivysaur said, mistakes had consequences.
Hopefully it holds on, Tyranitar sighed inwardly.
"Kou jie jie."
Unlike the others, Gengar looked positively delighted.
It hadn't known Charleon for long and had no emotional attachnt, so it was fully in spectator mode, ready to enjoy the show.
---
Inside the room.
"Sit down, Charleon," Sam said calmly.
Charleon no longer showed any trace of its earlier swagger. It stood stiffly, like a child who had made a serious mistake, not daring to move.
Seeing that it didn't sit, Sam didn't force it.
"We've been together for a while now, Charleon," Sam continued.
Ever since discovering its potential, Sam had taken it from Ash and helped it begin a new path—one ant to reclaim its dignity.
"I don't like forcing Pokémon," Sam said quietly.
"So I'll ask you this—do you still want to travel with ?"
Even though Charleon had Champion-level potential, Sam would rather let it go than keep a Pokémon that refused to follow orders.
Unlike Ash, Sam would never tolerate disobedience.
Not from anyone.
