David got all the Pokéballs he had in this base, and released his Pokémon, with the order to fight the intruders.
He sighed deeply, because he never had such a bad situation happen before, and he hoped that this will be solved fast. He then headed to the section were the most of the intruders were.
The trainers he saw were mostly clothed like the punks in this region, and he ordered his Pokémon around in the best way he could.
He didn't want to reveal his secret, so he didn't fight in his Mew form, but he saw that Wes fought as well.
Only the Quilava he recently gained didn't hold out so well on his own…
A Machoke beat it up with punches, with a coldness that David assumed would make it a Shadow Pokémon as well.
But David soon saw the danger in these punches!
If the now coming Mega Punch hit this Quilava, it could die from the wounds!
Without thinking, David jumped into the way and received the hit instead the Quilava.
The trainer of Machoke laughed coldly, "Why did you jump to protect this weak Pokémon?"
"Because nobody has the right to take a life…" coughed David, and groaned in pain.
"Only the strong have the right to live! Machoke! Beat this guy up!"
Before David could react, the Machoke punched and kicked him madly. As it lifted him by holding him by his throat, the trainer smiled coldly, "And you are weak because you cared for such a weakling…"
"It isn't weakness to show care for somebody… true strength comes from the heart…"
"What heartwarming words… Machoke! Crush him!"
The Machoke was about to execute the order, as something hit the back of the fighting type Pokémon. As David looked after some coughs and rubbing his throat, he saw Quilava with a fierce look in his face, and he growled, much to David's surprise, with human tongue.
"He isn't weak! Because thanks to him, I found my right way now! And now I will show you the strength he told you about!"
David wondered if this was really is the same Quilava he got as Shadow Pokémon, when he noticed a major difference: Quilava had now Golden Flames instead the usual red!
The Machoke charged, and a dark aura formed around his body, and punched at Quilava, but Quilava used Flame Wheel and overpowered the Machoke in strength and knocked it out of commission.
David stood up and stared at this astonishing amount of strength! What just happened to Quilava?
