Pokémon

Pikachu is David's first Pokémon he received from Professor Oak's Lab in Pallet Town. He is his most trusted partner and best friend, having been through so much together.

The rest of his Pokémon team information is being worked on.

Summary

Values Friendship

When David was growing up in Twinleaf town, he was constantly bullied by other kids, thus he always felt alone. Without a father and with his mother too busy, he usually spent time in a daycare. However, he never felt any hatred towards anyone, but it just strengthen the bonds of friendship when he did finally start making friends. This is why he is always willing to do whatever he can to protect those he cares for.

Information

David is a very passionate and outgoing person, usually looking on the bright side of things than the negatives. He would often see defeat and failure as a means to learn and improve (even though he still dislikes defeat). Though he had his doubts and down days, he is usually cheered up by his friends and his Pokémon. One thing that David is very passionate about is his love for food. He claims his nose could find delicious smelling food from miles away, and he's mostly right. The one food he enjoys the most is Watermelon (with Apples as a close second while in the wild, and Ramen when in a town or city). The few things he would like more than food would be Pokémon and his friends. He cares so much about his friends and his Pokémon that he would do whatever he can to protect them, even if it would cost him his life, thus he usually gets injured himself. Any other time he would get injured would be due to his own curiosity.

Though his passion makes him a good person, it could also contribute to several of his faults. He would find himself acting without his mind thinking things through so he is often the first to go headfirst into most situations, thus sometimes he gets injured. He's also not too knowledgeable about love at first. Though he gets a better understanding about it later on, he's still rather oblivious to when someone has a crush on him, and that ends up getting him into some unfortunate situations. Though he's usually brave, he has one weakness that he would freeze up as soon as he hears, sees, or someone mentioning Ghost type Pokémon. When he was stilla kid, living in Twinleaf town, he unintentionally entered a festival haunted house (though it was intended to be a prank from a friend) and thus he got scared so much he developed Phasmophobia (the fear of Ghosts). Later on in his adventures, he did catch several Ghost type Pokémon which helped him be more calm around them. By Alola, he no longer freezes up around them. One of David's other weaknesses would be his inability to swim. He usually prefers to rest in a tree or on the sand or even train than to swim in water. Though if he has Oxygen and if it's an emergency, he dives in to aid.

David cares a lot about Pokémon and sees them as partners and friends, thus he dislikes those who view Pokémon as a means for power or to exploit for their own needs and wants. Its this reason he dislikes teams like Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic, Plasma, and Flare. He and his friends have encountered the organizations on many occasions and had interrupted their plans many times. He also dislikes people with bad attitudes and big egos, for they are usually the rude people.

Trivia

• David has shown to have something of a sixth sense, which allows him to understand Pokémon on a different level. It also aids him in Pokémon battles.
• He has in his possession a Keystone, allowing to Mega Evolve his Pokémon, though he only will use it to battle other Mega Evolved Pokémon.
• David keeps several cups of instant Ramen on hand to snack on. His love of Ramen mimics one of the characters he is influenced by, Naruto Uzumaki.
• Having a Z-Ring from Alola, David is also in possession of all 18 regular Z-Crystals and one unique one, Pikanium Z, though the pose he uses for it is more like with Electrium-Z.
• David had burned his mouth several times attempting to eat a Tomato Berry, due to not remembering the very spicy power it has. This is a play on the anime using this gag several times.
• All the risks he took to protect others nearly cost him his life on several occasions. Despite this, he had always recovered and keeps moving forward.
• One of the things he doesn't tolorate is the theft of his own food, unless its for a very good reason.
