A/N: I decided for Dawn to have a shiny Pachirisu since it's pink.


The day after the whole Aerodactyl incident, the gang had watched Paul's gym battle and had to admit that he was quite a powerful and tactful trainer. However, he didn't really care much for his Pokémon whenever he said harsh words towards them.


At the moment, Dawn was having a little bit of trouble trying to get her shiny Pachirisu to behave. It liked shocking her and Piplup. Ember had also caught one as well which she named 'Maizy'. Maizy was somewhat behaved.

"What are we supposed to do, Ember?" Dawn asked, trying to smooth down her frizzy hair.

She wasn't happy with Pachirisu's behavior.

"Not to worry Dawn, my Electabuzz, Veton, can teach them a lesson or two." Ember took out a Pokéball.

"Veton the Electabuzz?" Dawn blinked in confusion.

"This Dawn, is one of the things you do to discipline Pokémon." Brock explained.

Ember, Alain and Brock explained to Dawn that sometimes Pokémon act disobedient to their new trainers because they're new.

"The way to solve this is to you have teach them whose boss and have one of your older and bigger Pokémon to obey rules and do as they're told." Brock advised.

"It's like how you deal with very small children; you know to discipline them to get them to behave and teach them to obey rules and your orders." Alain explained.

"I know about that, my mum always put her foot down to make me or other kids to do as we were told." Dawn commented.

"Exactly and putting your foot down is how you can make Pachirisu and Maizy to start behaving," Ember stated, "And Veton is the way to help because our Pachirisu's electric attacks won't harm her and she's bigger than Maizy and Pachirisu."

Dawn thought for a moment and then agreed. to the idea.

"Alright, send out Veton." Dawn decided.

Ember nodded and released her Electric Pokémon.

"Electabuzz!" Veton the Electabuzz appeared.

Maizy and Pachirisu launched a Spark attack at Veton who immediately got angry. When the two Pachirisu's saw Veton's expression, they were instantly afraid. Then Veton launched a Thunderbolt attack that landed right near the two Pachirisu's. That made them more afraid of Veton.

Dawn and Ember stepped forward.

"Now Pachirisu, Maizy," Dawn said, a bit sternly, "You can't just go around shocking everyone, we could get seriously hurt by your electricity and you must listen to what people tell you or you'll be getting into trouble with Veton here."

Maizy and Pachirisu flinched from hearing that and promised to listen in future.

"See Dawn, you just sometimes have to discipline Pokémon like you do with kids." Ember stated.

Dawn could see that Ember, Alain and Brock were right again.
