Normally, Doppio may not pay much mind to a grown man in danger -- for so many reasons, up to and including the fact that he's usually more preoccupied with taking care of someone smaller than the average size and mass of a grown man. As in, you know, himself.

But it's the Charmander that gives him pause. That tiny little guy, trying so hard to keep that huge thing at bay... If its trainer gets tired, it doesn't stand a chance!

That means there's only one thing to do.

"Connie! You're up!"

And that's the only warning the Slither Wing gets before a Cinderace kicks a powerful Pyro Ball straight at it.
