Davin stared at his new Mist Badge as he held it up to the sun. "This is awesome! My first badge!" He looked at his Poketch's map function. "The next gym is in Balavur Town." He sighed. "I hope I can actually win this one. If I keep winning badges by potential alone, I won't become a true Pokemon master."

A few minutes later, while he was walking, he heard a faint moaning sound. "What's that?" He wondered. He searched through the bushes to see and eventually found an injured Pokemon that looked like an orange chimp.

"A Chimchar!" Davin exclaimed.

"Chi...i...i..." It moaned.

"What happened to you?" The Chimchar was too weak to respond. Davin slowly picked it up. "Don't worry. I'll take care of you."

Another few minutes later, he rested the Chimchar on the ground near a quiet part of the area. Davin reached into his bag and pulled out his first-aid kit. "Just hang in there a bit more." He sprayed some Potion on to its injured spots, wrapped its wounds in bandages, and fed it some crushed berries. Chimchar opened its eyes slightly and saw Davin looking at him.

"How are you feeling?" He asked. Chimchar was a bit confused about who Davin was and where it was at the moment. It slowly rose up, still feeling the pain. "So, Chimchar, how'd you get those injuries? What happened?"

Chimchar looked scared as it reminisced about what had happened.

*Flashback*

Chimchar ran in terror as eight Primeape chased after it. Chimchar had wandered into their territory and now the Primeape wanted to make sure that it would pay.

Chimchar kept running until he hit a dead end that was caused by a huge boulder blocking the path. The Primeape stared angrily at Chimchar when they caught up with it.

"Chim... Chimchar, Chim..." It begged to them.

The Primeape grunted, not wanting to hear what Chimchar had to say, and attacked all at once. Chimchar was helpless as it was hit repeatedly by their Close Combats.

*End of flashback*

Chimchar closed its eyes and said nothing. Davin patted it on the head. "Well, whatever the reason, I'm glad that you're safe now."

"Chim?" It questioned in surprise.

Davin stood to his feet. "Take care, Chimchar. And be careful from now on." He walked away with Chimchar looking back at him. It stared at the bandages he had put on it; Chimchar had never met a human that was so kind to it like Davin had been.

Later on, Davin kept walking, still thinking about Chimchar. "Wonder how it's doing? Whoever caused its injuries sure beat it up good."

As he walked, he had a strange feeling that he was being watched. "Hmm... there's something creepy about this part of the forest." Next thing he knew, he heard a grunt coming from the air. He looked up to see eight Primeape right above him in mid-air and, with a yelp, he jumped out of the way as they landed.

The Primeape stared at him angrily. "Why are they so mad?" He thought. Without warning, they lunged at him.

Davin quickly threw a Poke ball. "Quake, stop these Primeape with Rock Smash!" When it appeared, Quake immediately swung its trunk and a boulder flew out, only to have one of the Primeape break it with Mega Punch.

"Try using Rollout!" Quake rolled straight at them, but they retaliated by joining together to form an octuple Poison Jab and striking the Phanpy in its body.

Davin gasped. "Return, Quake!"

Once it was back in its ball, he threw out his second Poke ball to release his Treecko. "Now, Bark, use Focus Punch!" It ran towards them, but they cut its attack off by using Thunderbolt all at the same time. Bark laid on the ground as electricity sizzled through its body.

"Oh no, it's paralyzed. What are we going to do?"
