Lessons to be Taught
Chapter Three: Double Rivals! Double Battle!
Little girl, what are those marks on your head? a teacher asked. She walked over and seen a large red scar on the back of her neck.
OhI fell when I was playing out in my back yard yesterday, she replied softly.
You sure? she asked with a puzzled look. She wondered if the girl was lying or telling the truth. The red marks looked like they were from a whip of some sort.
YesI am sure, she sighed as she looked down at the light green desk top. She could see her eyes in the shiny desk. She could see the pain and sadness rushing through her mind.
The teacher sighed as she walked back to her steel paper covered desk. She sat back down in the rolling blue cushioned seat and reached in her desk for a pen. She then moved her arm across the desk and ripped a piece of white sticky note and began to write on it.

Memo,
Have Becka checked on. Red marks on back of neck and seems to be stressed. I feel child abuse is happening. Child is in denial and hasnt admitted it yet. But I feel she may be in danger.

Few hours later
What happened today? a male voice asked with a cocky tone. He walked over with his shoulders high as he glared at his small blue dressed daughter.
She sat there innocently in her blue dress, white undershirt, and small black shoes. Her mind began to fill with worry and thoughts of her mother. Her mother was her number one priority, not some stupid thing a teacher told her father.
Nothing dadaddy, she stuttered quietly. She stopped playing with her yellow and black Pichu doll and stood up. She flattened out her dress and tried to look her best.
Thats not what I heard you worthless piece of existence, he shouted, you think looking pretty is going to help you?
Daddy, I swear, now can we please go visit mommy? her soft tender voice asked.
The aroma of fear and worry filled the air. She began to back up and soon her rough hands felt the cold green wall as she leaned up against it. Her toes gripped the rug tightly in hope nothing will happen. Her father moved over and looked down upon the saddened alarmed girl.
Can we go visit mommy, he imitated, No, we cant see mommy. That old hag isnt worth it. I hope she rots in there until she dies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun was high in the sky as the silky white clouds soared. Taillow flew happily through the cool calm breathe of the earth as they chirped with pleasure. The sounds of chat among the pokemon could be heard all around in the trees, bushes, and sky.
Come on out Venonat! Becka said with happiness in her voice.
She gripped the red and white pokeball and tossed it in the air. The ball spread open and released the tall purple bug type pokemon. It shaked its body as it looked around at Becka and Conner. The ball went back to Beckas hand as she walked over.
Im sorry for catching you like that. I didnt want anything bad to happen and it reminded me of something in my past, Becka said softly as she hugged her pokemon.
Veno nat Ven no nat! it jumped happily in her arms. Its soft purple fur rubbed against her arms as she laughed.
That tickles! she laughed again as she backed up. Ok, see you later, she announced as she recalled her new pokemon.
You ready? Conner asked as he slipped on his black nap sack.
Yup, she replied with as smile. She put Venonats pokeball back in her pocket as they both continued to walk.
The ground was moist from the early morning dew as they sneakers packed it down. There heads were high as they continued along the Viridian Forest to Pewter city. They continued to look around through the thick deep brown trees to see if there was anyone around.
Looks like its gona be a boring day, Conner exclaimed as he kicked a small rough shiny rock.
You never know, we might find some people, she sighed as she also kicked a small rough rock.
The rock tumbled over and into a bush. A loud scream was heard as Conner and Becka froze quick. Some shuffling around was a heard and two tall red headed sisters popped up. The red headed sister on the left was tall and was straightening her bright pink shirt. The second sister who was slightly shorter was in a blue shirt. They walked from behind the bush revealing there matching white pajama like bottoms. They stretched out their bodies as they widened their mouths to yawn.
Why the hell did you kick a rock at us? the left one shouted. She rubbed her soft brown skin in her awakening eyes.
Im sorry, we were just kicking rocks around, and we didnt thin k that anyone would be around. Sorry, Becka commented.
Whatever, we were going to wake up anyways, right Linda, she exclaimed in a snotty voice.
Right Heather, she said as she turned around causing her soft white bottoms to twirl around her leg.
The two went back behind the bus and disappeared. The sounds of zippers being zipped and thing being moved around was heard. Becka and Conner were about to start walking when Linda popped back up from behind the rough forest green bush.
Wait, were not done talking with you two yet, she said pushing back her curly red lock of hair from her light eyes.
Becka and Conner froze in place and waited for the dimwitted twins to finish getting ready. After few minutes of getting ready, the two popped back out. Linda was straitening her green tee and arranging her rough looking jeans. Heather folded the red sleeves of her shirt up and lifted her jeans up a little bit so they wouldnt be to low.
So, Linda began to speak, are you two trainers? She looked at them with a curious smile and a flip of her hair.
Yes, we just started out, Conner responded with a grin on his soft spoken face.
Oh like my god, we are to! Heather shrieked loudly, Wanna have a double battle? We just started out to, she spoke again with excitement in her voice.
Conner and Becka stared at each other and then looked back at the ditzy girls and shaked their heads. Heather and Linda then moved back a bit to make some room on the hazy dirt ground. Heather slipped her small tan hand into her left pocket in her blue jeans and removed a small circular ball. Linda reached to her side and took her only pokeball from a smooth belt. She nagged it off causing the belt make a popping noise from the pressure of magnets from the ball and belt.
Lets play Sandshrew! Linda called out as she tossed the smooth ball in the air.
The ball exploded with light causing a form to take shape on the dusty surface of the ground. The ball shut quickly and floated back to her hand. The small creature lifted its short arm and scratched its rough yellow body. It blinked its small brown eyes as it looked around.
Shrew! the pokemon shouted happily as it jumped in the air and shaked its tiny arms and legs happily.
Come on out Taillow! Heather announced as she gripped the ball in her tight blue jeans.
The ball floated in the air as it enlarged. The red and white opened up revealing a bright shiny light that filled the air. A small form flew out of the ball and into the dry air. The pokemon continued to soar as the ball closed and placed itself back in her hand.
Low Taillow! the tiny bird pokemon squawked loudly as its soft blue wings felt the breeze.
Go Nidoran! Becka shouted loudly with a flip of her wrist causing the red and white ball to fly into the air.
The smooth red ball opened up releasing a white light that smashed into the warm hard ground. A small form flourished from the ball and onto the dirt. The light went back into the ball leaving the pokemon out as it floated back to her hand.
Ran! the small poison pin pokemon cried as it scratched its soft green ears with its small back leg.
Lets fight Mankey! Conner exclaimed as he tossed his starter pokemons pokeball.
The ball busted open releasing a bright light. The light flashed over the ground as a jumping form appeared. The light faded and the ball closed going back to his hand.
Mankey key! it cried loudly as it jumped up and down shaking its smooth tan arms and legs.
Lets begin, Nidoran, use poison sting on Taillow now! Becka shouted as she pointed at the blue bird.
Nido Nidoran! she screamed as she took stance.
Taillow, fly down and tackle it before it can sting you! Heather said as she pointed to the poison pin pokemon.
Ta Taillow! the tiny blue bird chirped as it soared through the air.
Mankey use low kick on Sandshrew! Conner exclaimed as he pointed at the dry skinned pokemon.
Mankey key man Mankey! it shouted loudly as it jumped around pounding its small light skinned rubbery hands on its fluffy tan fur.
Sandshrew use scratch attack now! Linda cried out as she pointed her tan finger at the hyper monkey.
Shrew, Shrew! it exclaimed happily as small sharp claws formed from its dry sand like hand.
Taillow flew around swiftly in the air as it gained speed for tackle. Nidoran glared at the flying bird as its horn grew a bright purple. Taillow saw Nidoran getting ready to attack and began to fly forward towards the small light green pokemon. Nidoran saw it coming and released five sharp needles from its glowing horn. The needles dripped of poison as they flew in the air towards Taillow. Taillow flew to the left dodging the needles but one of them went through its wing causing the poison to go in its blood. The bird pokemon fell to the ground and began to weaken already. Nidoran was in shock on how fast it struck the bird.
Taillow! it cried as it began to wobble on the ground but still capable to battle.
Sandshrew and Mankey looked into each others eyes with an evil passion. The fire grew as they darted towards one another. Sandshrew lifted his short arm and swung at the monkey in front of him. Mankey dodged and kicked Sandshrew in the gut hard with its rubbery leg. As Sandshrew fell back, it dug its claws into Mankeys soft stomach.
MANKEY! the pokemon screamed in pain as it rubbed its stomach.
Shrew! the ground type shouted as it rubbed its slowly bruising abdomen.
You did good Taillow, use peck attack! she shouted with a deep passion.
TalowTaillow! it painted as the poison continued to run through its blood and into its veins.
Great, now use tackle! Becka exclaimed with a grin of excitement.
Nidoran! she yelped happily.
Mankey, you ok? Conner asked quickly with a worried look upon his warm tanning face.
Mankey! it shouted with determination.
Great, use leer! he exclaimed with a sigh of relief.
Sandshrew, you can make it! Use tackle attack! she shouted at her pokemon.
Shrew! it nodded as it got in position.
Taillow ran as fast as it could on its small yellow legs as Nidoran began to run at full force towards the ever weakening bird. The two pokemon ran head first into each other causing them to be shoved back into the earth as dirt particles flew in the air. They both took equal amount of damage as they struggled back up.
Low! it shouted with anger.
Ran! it cried with hatred.
Mankey looked at the small shrew as it began to run towards it at an ever growing speed. The monkey opened its small mouth and released a sound so loud it made Taillow and Nidoran cringe with pain. Sandshrew stopped in utter agony as it covered its ears as it continued to try and run. Soon Sandshrew became immune and ran full force into Mankeys already hurting abdomen. The horrid yelling stopped as it began to scream in pain.
MANKEY KEY MAN MANKEY! it cried out as it felt the warm soil glaze its back.
Shrew! it called out as it jumped happily and began to shake its small thick yellow brick looking tail.
Talow, it whimpered as the poison began to hurt more from the leers defense damage.
Nidoran use poison sting again! Becka shouted as she flung her pointer finger at the very weak Taillow.
Nidoran! it growled as it got ready to fight.
Taillow, I know you can do this, just try, use tackle! she pleaded to her almost fainted pokemon.
TaTaTaillow, it chirped with trouble.
Sandshrew use tackle attack! she shouted with confidence.
ShrewSand! it cried as it got ready to go at it again.
Mankey use low kick attack now! Conner said as he hoped his pokemon could continue.
Taillow tried its hardest to run on its small feet but soon collapsed on the dry dirt. Nidoran saw it fall and its horn began to glow a bright purple. Soon three needles shot from the center of the horn and at Taillow. The needles jabbed the pokemons back as the poison dripped all over its small body.
TAILLOW! it cried loudly as it popped back up and began to flutter with its one good wing. It soon fell back down to the ground and fainted fast.
You did good Taillow, return, Heather sighed as she took out its pokeball and recalled it.
Great job Nidoran! Becka shouted happily.
Meanwhile, Mankey began running on its four limbs at the still going shrew. Sandshrew saw it coming and it also began to run. The two looked each other in the eyes as Mankey stopped quickly and swung out its leg. Sandshrew ran into it and tripped over into the dirt. Mankey jumped up causing a little blood to drip from its wound and landed behind the pokemon. Sandshrew slowly got up but Mankey kicked its left leg into Sandshrews back causing it to fall face forward.
SANDSHREW! it shouted as it tried to get back up. It turned its head and looked into the bright sun and then fell back down.
You did great Sandshrew, return, Linda cried as she recalled her ground type pokemon.
Linda flipped her red locks and placed the pokeball back in her pocket. She dusted some of the dirt off her soft shirt and looked back up at Becka and Conner. Their faces filled with happiness and joy as they congratulated their prized starters.
You two really love your pokemon and thats an important part of training. We will see ya later on in your training. Maybe we will bet stronger for are next match. See ya, Heather called out as her and Linda began to walk down the dirt path through the lushes bushes and trees.
Thanks see ya later! Becka called out as she waved good bye.
Bye, Conner waved happily.
The sun began to fade into the moon as the stars began to pop out. Becka and Conner recalled their pokemon in a flash of a light. They placed the balls back into their pockets and began to walk again.
That was fun, we actually have people we will continue to fightlike rivals! Conner said with an excited tone in his voice.
Yea, that was fun. Hopefully we will reach Pewter City soon so we can have a gym match and get the first clue thing. But I can see you did well with Mankey, even though you still need some work for the gym. I heard it is rock, so we should train a little more. Hopefully Venonat knows an attack to help me out. But you shouldnt have a big problem, I remember one of my old friends telling me about fighting pokemon and that theyre strong against rock types, Becka stopped to take a gulp of air.
Cool, Mankey already knows low kick so that should be good plus leer! he smiled as he looked deep into the darkening sky.
We should stop and set up camp, we need are rest for tomorrow, Becka announced as she stopped walking and began to turn her head around searching through the thick forest of trees and bushes.
Sure, he commented as he began to look around also. Hey, over here looks good.
She followed him over to a large area of dark green grass. They soon set up camp and created a fire with some near by branches. They rolled out their sleeping bags and quickly fell asleep under the moons light.
