Davin waited at the Fallarbor Pokemon Center for his Pokemon to heal. Seviper had poisoned most of his team and he was really worried about them.
"I hope everything's okay." He said as he looked at the doors to the treating room.
At that moment, he couldn't help but think, "I don't believe that Seviper was that strong, but it nearly took out all of my Pokemon. If things keep going like this, we'll never get stronger." He closed his eyes. "Would it be right if I..." His thoughts were interrupted when Nurse Joy called him over.
"I'm happy to say that your Pokemon are feeling much better, but do be careful from now on." she said.
"I will." He took his Poke balls from her. "Thank you."
Later, he quickly went past the grass area of Route 114, hoping to not encounter anymore Seviper, and made it to the entrance of Meteor Falls. "I'm finally here." He said as he entered the cave.
"Whooooooa!" He shouted as he gazed at the huge waterfall inside. "This place is amazing!" He walked across a bridge to get better look. "I've never seen a waterfall inside a cave before. This is cool!"
"Baaaay!" Davin heard. He looked up to the top of the waterfall and gasped. A small blue Pokemon with thick, gray ridges going from the top of its head to its back was standing on a rock that was atop the waterfall. Davin took out his Pokedex.
"Bagon, the Rock Head Pokemon. Although it is small, this Pokémon is very powerful because its body is a bundle of muscles. It launches head-butts with its iron-like skull."
The Bagon spread its arms apart and it jumped down from the waterfall.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Davin quickly jumped from the bridge and held his arms out to catch it. While he succeeded in doing so, they both fell into the water below.
The boy swam to the edge of one of the cave floors and set the Bagon on it. "Don't worry. You're safe now."
The Bagon bashed its head against his, knocking him back into the water. When he pulled himself up to the edge, he shouted, "What was that for?!"
"Bay! Bay, Bagon!" It shouted angrily.
"I saved your life! You shouldn't treat me that way!"
Bagon shook its head. "Bay, Bay." It jumped into the air a couple of times and flapped its arms as if they were wings.
Davin blinked. "You mean... you were trying to fly?"
It nodded. "Bay."
"But you don't have wings. It's impossible for you to fly." That earned him another Headbutt to his head. "Well, it's true."
"Bay! Bay Bay Bay Bay Bagon!" It shouted, jumping up and down in anger.
"Maybe the Pokedex can tell me what's going on." He opened it up.
"Bagon have desires to one day fly through the air. It constantly jumps off high places in hopes of achieving that goal. When it fails, it tends to smash its head against boulders in frustration."
"So that's it. But why do you dream of something that won't be possible? It's not like you can grow wings." Bagon suddenly jumped on to Davin's knees and started to press buttons on his Pokedex. "Hey! What do you think-"
"Bay!" It pointed to the screen, showing a blue dragon with red wings.
"Salamence, the Dragon Pokemon. Salamence is the final evolved form of Bagon. By evolving into Salamence, this Pokémon finally realizes its long-held dream of growing wings. To express its joy, it flies and wheels all over the sky while spouting flames from its mouth."
"Ooooh. So you are able to fly." Davin realized. "But if you have to evolve in order to gain wings, why don't you just work to get stronger instead of jumping off high places? Are you just impatient?"
"Bay." It nodded.
Davin stared at it for a moment, then petted its head. "You know... you kind of remind me of myself a little. I have a dream of becoming a Pokemon Master, but I have to train and work hard in order to make it reality. Though our dreams are different, they focus on reaching for something we want."
"Bay?" It tilted its head, curiously.
Davin got an idea. "Bagon, why don't you come along with me and my Pokemon on our journey? If you and I work hard enough, I can promise you that you'll become a Salamence and you can fly to your heart's content." he held out his hand. "What do you say? It's better than going at it alone, at least."
Bagon looked at the boy in thought, thinking if it should go or not. Eventually, it placed its hand in his and nodded. "Bagon!"
Davin smiled. "Cool." He took out a Poke ball and tapped its head against it, activating the ball and sucking it inside. The ball's red light blinked as he held it in his hand, where it stopped at three beeps. "All right, Soar. From now on, we'll make our dreams come true together!"
He later found the exit of the cave and found himself at Route 115, north of Rustboro City. "Okay! Time to head forth to victory!"
