Heya! So I’ve always taken good care of my salamence, but now he’s acting very odd. He won’t allow me into the Haina Desert, or even allow me to leave our tent at night. What’s up with that?

Well, that could be due to any number of things, anonymous. For example, Haina Desert is known for extreme weather (both extremely hot sun and fierce sandstorms), so it could be that your salamence is attempting to protect you. Alternatively, it may also be aware that it isn’t as adept at flying in extreme weather, so it may be hesitant to go wherever it knows it won’t be able to fight or defend you to the best of its abilities. Or perhaps it could have something to do with the fact that Haina Desert is supposedly home to one of the legendary tapu, as well as other fantastically strong pokémon.

Whatever the reason may be, try communicating with your salamence to see if you can pick up any hints. Perhaps it has less to do with the Haina Desert specifically and has more to do with a general want to protect you. Perhaps it’s even something else entirely. Attempting to communicate with your salamence (or at least reassuring him that he can share with you whatever his concerns are) will help you narrow down the possibilities of what’s bothering him so you can easily come up with a solution.

Best of luck, anonymous.
