"Prepare yourself however you wish. The rule is that you may only bring your Pokemon and a knife."
"The desert is an empty place, even this small desert. Distractions are few, but Earthpower is close by."

In that case, I think I will take Delta Steelix as my choice instead of Lairon. His Digging abilities might be useful in the desert. Not to mentioned his size might scary potential enemies.

Heart also carry a knife and follow Chorizo to the desert. What exatcly my char see in the place?

Chorizo disappears, leaving you alone.

Delta Steelix dominates the sparse surroundings. But as you stay for a while and perhaps do a bit of meditating using the Earthpower knowledge you already possess, you begin to notice that the desert around Charring Cross is anything but bleak.

The shifting, sparkling sands are a work of art. The chalky white mountains have been shaped by wind and sand, and in your zen state you can look at them, like clouds, and see visions in their abstract forms. 

With a 5 in Survival, and your trusty knife, and your giant flying metal snake, you quickly work up a shelter of your choice. (Feel free to describe it). You also dig up a well for water, and you laboriously and carefully haul up some gigantic underground roots that you know to be very nutritious. 

As night falls, the desert changes. The temperature drops. A thousand stars come out, the only distraction in this entire desert. But before you can begin another round of meditations, you are interrupted by a fleet of lizard Pokemon. Charmander lead the pack, their tails held high like torches. Behind them are several Helioptile, ears spread wide to absorb as much heat as possible, a little electricity going between them. They're creeping slowly toward your stash of gigantic edible roots.
