[Char's original plan had been to go the "catch something, kill it, roast it over his tail, and give it to people" route again. Unfortunately, in light of recent bullets in asses, he currently possesses the hunting ability of a pair of pantyhose stuffed with soggy potting soil; he can't seem to keep up with much of anything before he tires out. He had some small amount of success, but... it's really more like the kind of game a Charmander would be taking down.
So uh. Looks like he's opted to do some old-fashioned foraging and/or delve into his now-quite-dwindled "took down a mafia boss with Biomech" rainy day cash pile.
Presents for Green Team, Genny, the few people on the football team he's decently good friends with, G-dorf, Zapdos, and Biomech. Also something very tiny for Misty and Erika.]
He had to think very hard about Green's present. He wanted it to be something really special, but everything he does have to offer, he'd give to Green the second he asked, any day of the year. He saw in a movie once that aaaaages ago, people wore Charizard scales as protective charms. He's not sure if that's real or just Hollywood, but it sounds pretty cool, so he pulled one from the ridge running down his back (DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS, scaled brethren, as it is dumb and kind of smarts). Since he was already getting one necklace made for Nyx's present, he had the scale put onto one too.
Green also gets a promise that Char will fly him home to Pallet to visit Gramps and Daisy anytime he likes. Dinky tail flames, admittedly, mean not a whole lot of energy for big long flights, but dammit he will do it even if he has to swim the rest of the way there. He may have also received some berries to pass along to Pidge and Jolt, too.
His instincts dictate that he find Nyx the biggest kill he can manage, in order to impress her with his manliness and reassure her that, yes, her chosen mate is in fact very biologically fit and she should totally have a million Charmanders with him. He tried to divebomb a wild Tauros, but he ran out of firepower, got bucked, Stomped, and left in the dirt while the Tauros galloped off. It was a very embarrassing situation and he looked very silly and nobody is ever going to hear that particular story.
So instead he found a weak little Croagunk kid and threatened it until it gave him some Black Sludge. He has no urge to touch that stuff ever, so some of the Biomech-bounty-hunt money went toward putting it into a tiny glass bottle and hanging that from a necklace.
Bulba, it took quite a bit of searching for your present. He hit paydirt in a damp little corner of a cave in the Mountains of Convenience, lit by a tiny little shaft of light. So your present, in case of an emergency, is a Power Herb. Go bash all the skulls or solar all the beams.
Blastoise, you are a stupid jerk for being better than Char at everything and it's not like likes you or anything. Please accept his oh-so-tsun love in the form of a bag of Wacan berries. He found a bush struggling in the Mountains of Convenience while hunting for Bulba's gift and stripped that sucker bare.
Genny. You have the gift of not getting beat up until New Year's. That's... kind of a present, right?
Sorry, Sasha, but Red team gets NOTHING HE HATES YOU ALL.
Most of Char's football team buddies, Char did have some minimal success with his hunting, though all he was really able to catch was slow, small game. So you get roast carcasses, just... roast "I stole these from a farm" rabbits, chipmunks he managed to dig out of their hibernation burrows, wounded limping Rattata, etc. Max gets an extra one for Slowpoke. Knuckles, since you were kind enough to notice Char's general disinterest in fruits and veggies, he paid a little closer attention to your snacking preferences. Thus, you get some Aspear berries that he found growing wild in the woods.
You might not be a student anymore, Ganondorf, but you are still on his "kill something and roast it" list. Enjoy your mystery carcass. May or may not be a housecat.
Zapdos, he asked Nancy for a Jello cup that he could pass onto you. Enjoy.
Biomech, enjoy your jar of Sinnoh sweet honey. Now with 99% less space bees.
Misty, you got lucky. Some mysterious anonymous individual left a little teensy pack of like... three leftover Wacan Berries. Sitting at your door. Generosity abound.
Hey, Erika, does your Tropius have a single Gracidea flower stuck in her bananabeard? Gosh, it's kinda... limp-looking, but what else can you expect in winter, I guess. Wonder where it came from.
Rasputin got a lot of tummy rubs and a Natu that had been just a little too slow Teleporting away. Rasputin, thoughtfully, responded by giving Char the gift of Skulltula puke on his bed. Maybe those nuggets were a bad idea after all.
