Once again I do not own Pokemon. Rosa's New Perspective belongs to KenitohMenara and if you have not read it you need to; it is amazing.
A few weeks had passed and Aaron was at a carnival at the Nimbasa City Park with his family. Aaron was having a good time with Mark and Amanda; they even gave him permission to walk around on his own. Aaron was walking around, enjoying a few rides, and talking with a few Pokémon who were glad that he finally found a home. Aaron was enjoying his day until a boy walked by him.
"Solo's gone soft." He muttered under his breath. Aaron heard him clearly and scowled. Aaron turned around and faced the boy who looked scared as Aaron stared him directly in the eye. Before the boy could think about running, Aaron punched him in the gut and watched him fall to the ground clutching his chest. Aaron punched and kicked him relentlessly until he was nothing but a weeping ball of tears.
"And I'm the one who's gone soft." Aaron said smirking at the boy. Aaron had not noticed, but a small crowd had formed; several Pokémon were staring at him. The boy's parents emerged from the crowd and ran over to their boy. Instinctively Aaron began running, in moments he heard patrols following him. Aaron didn't know where to hide, but then he saw a subway tunnel. Aaron ducked inside knowing that he was now in a labyrinth of tracks that were in use and that were abandoned. Aaron kept running knowing that if he stopped for an instant the patrols would catch him. Aaron was running through an abandoned tunnel when he tripped on a spike sticking out of the ground; Aaron fell to the ground clutching his leg in pain. Aaron tried to stand up, but his foot was stuck under one of the tracks, and his leg hurt too much for him to continue trying to struggle. Aaron heard a few voices speaking as he passed out.
Aaron woke up in a hospital bed groaning. Aaron looked around and saw a cast on his leg and he was strapped to the bed. Mark and Amanda were sitting in chairs looking at Aaron relieved and angry.
"Why'd you beat that kid up?" Mark asked sternly.
"He said that I'd gone soft, and I just couldn't handle it." Aaron said looking ashamed.
"I'm glad that you're okay, but I'm furious with your behavior." Amanda said crossing her arms.
"Understandable." Aaron said calmly.
"The doctor said that you can leave today, but no using that leg. That should be easy since you're grounded for three weeks. That means no sparring, no TV, no videogames, no hanging out with your friends, and you can't go anywhere without one of us accompanying you." Mark said. Aaron frowned, but he knew that his punishment could have been a lot worse. Just then there was a knock at the door. The boy who Aaron beat up walked in still bruised and swollen in a few places. He apologized to Aaron and admitted that he got what he deserved. Aaron apologized to him admitting that he was pretty ruthless when he attacked without warning. The boy left and Amanda and Mark took Aaron home. Amanda helped Aaron out of the car and carried him upstairs in her arms. She told him to consider it part of his punishment. Aaron laid in his bed thinking about everything; for once he was not mad at his parents for punishing him, they were only trying to do what was best for him and teach him right from wrong. Aaron was mad at himself for the way he behaved and he knew that he deserved the punishment his parents gave him.
