Damian Cross

Damian is a minor villain in Pokémon Aura.

Character
Damian was the original owner of Ash's Charmander.

At a Pokémon Center, Ash and his friends overheard Damian bragging about how many Pokémon he caught. He said that he left a Charmander in the nearby forest because it was too weak. Jacob yelled at Damian and ordered him to reclaim his Charmander because he might die in the rain. Damian laughed it off and Ash was about to challenge him to a battle until Nurse Joy prevented the confrontation, saying that using Pokémon to settle arguments is wrong.

Jacob and the others recovered Charmander and had him taken care of at the Pokémon Center. As soon as he felt better, Charmander left to wait for Damian once again, but Ash stopped him, telling the Lizard Pokémon that Damian never intended to come back for him.

Later, having seen Ash train Charmander, Damian showed up, and said that he had purposely left Charmander alone to toughen him up. In fact, Damian was glad he didn't have to go through the trouble of raising Charmander himself. Damian ordered Charmander to return, but Charmander wanted to stay with Ash. Realizing this, Damian challenged Ash to a battle which would decide who would be Charmander's trainer.

Enraged at having lost, Damian went back on his word and tried to take Charmander by force, but Jacob's Charizard, Smaug, stepped in at the last second. Growling fiercely, Smaug unleased a Fire Blast, scaring Damian away for good.
