Geometric Fire Is Actually Harder to Draw Than Flowing Fire

I've got three gijinkas queued up and ready for you all this week. Yes, this week's theme is Pokemon whose names begin with the letter Q. There are only three such Pokemon across the four generations (Coincidentally, they're all in Generation 2), so it shouldn't be too hard to guess who's coming next. Let's start the weekend with a starter Pokemon:
Pokemon: Quilava
Ability: Uprising
Uprising is an ability that allows the user to generate special flames on any surface. These flames are special because they don't burn things, nor do they affect the temperature of whatever surface they're "burning" on. The only thing they do is raise the temperature of anything that comes into contact with them. Since it's usually air molecules that make contact with the fire, Uprising tends to cause strong winds blowing upwards (To the disdain of many skirt-wearing girls) but it can also heat up (And cause searing pain to) the skin of people who touch the fire, either unintentionally or purposely. Because Uprising does not burn or even raise the temperature of the surface generating the flames, Quilava likes to sprout flames on his own self, usually the head and lower back area. He has also studied the movement of air under the effect of convection so that he can utilize Uprising to its greatest efficiency (To the disdain of many skirt-wearing girls).
