Episode 3: Lesson from Aggression
The day was early and a warm breeze filled the air, the twins are continuing there journey to challenge the first gym leader for there badge. Minun sits atop Daylena's head, taking a nap while Daylena daydreams about the battle the previous day wondering if she could have done better. Meanwhile plusle happily skips next to Dave trying to keep up with his large steps, Dave busy pondering about the adventure he had yesterday wondering about what might happen next, hoping for more. Without warning a young boy hops onto the dirt road grasping his small cap making sure it doesn't fall off.
"Hello! I'm Terren are you guys trainers!" the young boy said excitedly
Dave blinked at the boy while Daylena grasped her chest in fright.
"You nearly scared me to death! Can't people greet people normally these days?" Daylena said yelling at the young boy
Terren tipped his hat.
"Oh sorry im just excited, im a new trainer and im looking for someone to battle,"
Dave stepped up to the small boy and smiled.
"Were new trainer's im Dave and this is my twin sister Daylena. I guess I could battle you,"
Daylena stepped up and pushed Dave causing him to fall on his bum, not even noticing him.
"No no I wanna battle, let me test my strength!" she said doing a little dance.
Dave sighed and looked to plusle.
"No no. Go right ahead Daylena "Dave said rolling his eyes.
The twins and the brave trainer walked shortly off the main road into a clear grassy area. Dave sat angrily on the ground awaiting the battle while plusle picked up a small brown leaf and began swaying it back and forth cheering for Daylena. Daylena looked to plusle and smiled throwing him a peace sign.
"That's right plusle im gonna win this!" Daylena said happily.
"Pokeball go!" The boy said throwing his pokeball in the center of the field.
His pokeball hit the ground and the beam of light formed into a small blue and orange creature its mouth opening releasing a "Mudkip!"
Daylena swooned.
"Oooo mudkip but I have no fear, let me take this out"
Daylena pulled a pokeball from her pack while minun steadily waited next to her. Daylena then threw the pokeball it letting out a grey dog like pokemon. The poochyena looked around and set its eyes on minun and let out a small growl at it, minun jumped up and ran behind Daylena in fear.
"No silly dog! Minun is your friend! That's your foe!" Daylena said pointing at the small mudkip.
Terren pointed at poochyena
"Mudkip use tackle attack!"
Poochyena started to slowly walk toward minun when it was quickly hit by mudkip's tackle attack, making poochyena wince.
"ack!" Daylena shouted
"Poochyena get up and use a tackle attack!"
"Dodge and use growl attack! "
Poochyena angrily charged at mudkip, mudkip then hopped to the side dodging poochyena's attack. Mudkip then opened its small mouth and let out a growl attack at poochyena, it shuddering from the sound.
"Wrong wrong wrong!" she said as she stomped angrily.
"Try another tackle attack poochyena!"
"Mudkip use mud slap, now!"
Poochyena flicked his bushy tail and angrily charged at mudkip once again, mudkip then jumped back and let a ball of mud shot out of its mouth splashing into poochyena's face covering his eyes. Without the command of Daylena poochyena tried to tackle mudkip missing from his lowered accuracy caused by the mud and slammed into a tree.
"Mudkip finish with a tackle!"
Mudkip ran and crashed into poochyena, poochyena slid through the grass coming to a stop and fainted pitifully onto the ground. Daylena eyes opened wider and she slumped down onto the floor and returned poochyena.
"Uh that's ok. Cause im not done! Minun get in there, now! " Daylena said a sadness in her voice
Minun hopped into the center of the field and looked at Mudkip ready to battle. Plusle started to sway the leaf even harder and started to cheer loudly for minun while Dave curiously looked at minun's sudden boost of energy while plusle yelled at him.
"Minun use a thundershock attack! Now now now!"
"Mudkip use tackle attack! "Terren yelled
Minun blinked and a confused look flushed over its face seeming as if he didn't know what to do while mudkip started to come at him speeding.
Dave stood up and yelled to Daylena.
"Try a different attack! I do not think they learn that attack! "
Daylena nodded to her twin
"Minun thunderwave!"
Minun blue cheeks began to spark and a wave of blue electricity shot from his cheeks and hit Mudkip yet mudkip seemed to be unaffected by the attack completely. The Mudkip then struck minun, sending him flying back.
"What..happened?" Daylena said in confusion
"Don't you know? Mudkip is also a ground type not just a water type so it has a good resistance against electric attacks," Terren said speaking up.
Daylena snapped her fingers.
"Darn! I knew that! minun use tackle!"
"mudkip let's finish this, use water gun!"
Minun slowly got and prepared for a tackle attack when a burst of water flew into its face, causing minun to do cartwheels flying back, soaking his short fur. Minun eyes swirled in pain and he fainted from mudkip's powerful attack. Daylena once again slumped onto the ground with her head slumped over, she then began mutter under her breath. Plusle ran over to minun grabbing him and let out squeaks trying to wake his friend up while Terren's mudkip jumped into his arms.
"Great job Mudkip," Terren said petting his pokemon.
Dave sadly looked to Daylena as she stayed motionless, a tear falling to the ground.
Terren smiled.
"Hey Daylena you tried no need to be a sore loser!"
Daylena looked up with an expression of evil on her face; she appeared next to Terren her face growing three times as large.
"Look here you little pip squeak! I am! Not a sore loser! You may have won me luckily this time! With cheating of course! Nevertheless, it will never! Ever! Happen again!"
Terren froze and gave a blank look when a dust cloud appeared. Terren was running in the distance in fear from Daylena's outbreak. Daylena then ran and picked up minun and continued to run into a nearby forest as tears flew from her eyes.
"Daylena wait!" Dave cried out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Dave walked into the forest, plusle sadly walking next to him. Dave soon came up to a flat rock overlooking a pond, Daylena was sitting on it with her head down and minun curled up on her lap. Dave slowly walked up to her and took a seat next to her.
"I bet you think im a sore loser to..don't you?" Daylena said still looking down.
"I would never think that Daylena. Never," he said responding.
"I promised mom that I would be a pokemon master for her. How can I do that when I can't even win a simple battle" Daylena said as she held back her tears.
"Daylena..you know there ups and downs when being a trainer, there always ups and downs in everything. When mom had that disease she won it, this time you lost a battle..one thing mom didn't do was give up and breakdown, Daylena I know your stronger then this and I know we will both be pokemon masters together though..there will be a lot of losses along the way "
Daylena broke into a smile.
"You know what bro. You are right...hopefully you will be there for me through all of this,"
Dave smiled "you know I will"
Daylena and Dave hugged and so do minun and plusle. The sun began to set and Dave and Daylena decided to stay and enjoy the sunset while sitting upon the rock. Thinking about the lessons they learned today and what new lessons they will learn in the future along there journey, but one thing they know they will learn them together.
