Another of those three-part growing up alongside a Pokémon sets (and there are more lovely examples to come), this one features that most collectible of monsters, Charizard.

But we begin with Charmander, seemingly bullying some poor kid. The little snot has stolen the kid’s glasses, and is running off with them like a dick. For some reason, instead of sending it off to Professor Oak for storage purposes, the boy sticks with his Pokémon, and we next see the two of them sat up a tree together, the kid now a teenager, the monster now a Charmeleon. And in my opinion, the Charmeleon is explaining the kid’s quantum physics homework. Finally, that kid is now all grown up, and from the expression on his face seemingly in a serious situation with his fully-grown Charizard, the pair of them on a snowy hillside presumably facing some off-camera incident.
