The protagonist and Damian reunite once again in the Rezzai Cavern after the player witnesses the Sky Cult kill off a man and his family moments beforehand. After the Abyssal Cult flees, Damian concludes that Shaymin joining him means that he could be the person that the prophecy refers to instead.
Mew reveals itself only to have Shaymin fly in and remove the toxic pool surrounding Damian, effectively rendering the Abyssal Cult's threats useless. The player's victory over them is in vain, however, as the cultist leading the kidnapping simply threatens to kill Damian right then and there unless Mew shows itself. Once the player reaches the part of the dump where Damian is being held, the cultists attack. However, Damian's obvious lie fails to do him any good as the Abyssal Cult kidnaps him while the player battles Xavier in the Vipik Gym, warning the player that he or she had better bring Mew to the Vipik Dump in order to save Damian. An Abyssal Cultist overhears this bit of information before wandering off after Damian denies having said anything having to do with Mew out loud. Despite his insistence that his battling skills were above average to the teacher after the end of the tournament, she refuses to acknowledge his skills and also does not give him the prize that Nora and the player receive.ĭamian and the player meet yet again in Vipik City, where Damian tactlessly begins to talk about both Nora and the protagonist being potential prophecy candidates, as Nora had predicted might happen. After the player locates Nora, which allows the tournament to begin, Damian faces the protagonist in the tournament's second round. The next time that the player encounters Damian is in the Trainer School in Midna Town, where Damian appears to be preparing for an upcoming tournament. With the Augur's words of approval, Damian's father decides to allow Damian to leave and embark on his journey, as his stepmother could not argue with the Augur. After both cultists are defeated, Jaern makes them disappear using an incantation and then praises both Damian and the player for their skill and bravery before inviting them to seek him out in Helios City. Damian's father begins to scold Damian and the two cultists reveal themselves, but are stopped from carrying out their mission by Damian and the player. The Augur is in doubt, and asks for proof. Rushing back to Telnor Town immediately, Damian and the player burst into the Town Hall as Damian exclaims that two people in the room are about to kill the Second Augur. From this conversation the pair is able to learn that two cultists are going to conduct an assassination attempt.
When the battle is over Damian then heads off towards Telnor Cave.Īt the very end of Telnor Cave, Damian manages to identify the Rare Stone but ignores it soon after as he joins the player in eavesdropping on a conversation between an Abyssal Cultist and an Infernal Cultist.
As would be expected of a rival, he challenges the player to a battle after both characters have obtained their starters. When Professor Sylvan proposes the idea of taking care of one of these Pokémon, Damian feels unsure about looking after something so unnatural, but ultimately decides to follow the protagonist's lead. Once inside the lab, Damian and the player overhear an intense conversation between Reukra and Professor Sylvan concerning the fate of three Delta Pokémon that Reukra has inside of his briefcase. An argument ensues which ultimately results in the player assisting Damian with fetching Jaern's present, but not before getting a starter Pokémon from Professor Sylvan's lab. When the player joins Damian inside the Town Hall, they observe a conversation between his stepmother and father where his father insists that he get a Rare Stone from inside Telnor Cave to present to Jaern, but his stepmother vehemently objects to the idea, insisting that Damian is too immature and is incapable of taking care of a plant, much less a Pokémon. He explains that the town is expecting the Second Augur, Jaern to pay them a visit before hurrying off to the Town Hall to give them a hand. Damian is introduced to the player as soon as they walk into Telnor Town, where he excitedly confronts the player about having seen Mew moments before.
