Seeing that Charizard understood what he had in mind, Hu Bin said, "Take Torchic on as your apprentice. Torchic really admires you and sees you as an idol!"
Charizard glanced at Torchic and found that, just as Hu Bin had said, Torchic was gazing back in admiration. Filled with pride, Charizard waved a large claw, signaling for Hu Bin to continue.
Seeing that he was close to sealing the deal, Hu Bin said delightedly, "Charizard, if you help Torchic train at night, once Torchic gets stronger and tells other Pokémon that you're the master, wouldn't that make you proud too?"
Charizard thought that made sense. Even though I've retired, I still want an apprentice to carry on my legacy.
