..........

"I-I don't know if I can." The gecko Pokemon said as he trembles in place and shut his eyes tightly in apprehension while clenching his teeth. The fear of his last master coming back into his mind and remembering the torturous things his master did to him was unbearable to handle as small tears start to whelp up at the corner of his eyes. 'No matter where I go or what I think, 'he' always has to come back somehow.' Treecko thought sadly. At this point the gecko Pokemon began to sob quietly while his arms hold himself tightly. Trying to feel more secure from his arms, but he knew it wasn't making him feel better.

It was then David keeled beside the trembling and sobbing Pokemon. He wasn't surprised by Treecko's reaction after being asked to do something that feared the gecko Pokemon for most of his young life.

Even though Treecko's state is staring to get better every day with his travels with him and the reat of his companions, the trainer has been noticing the insecurity in Treecko's state that still linger inside the gecko Pokemon. He seem to keet things to himself whenever he wasn't talking to anyone while everyone else did. The way Treecko looked like to David's eyes is that the gecko Pokemon looked somewhat worried while being deep in thought. It concerned him that Treecko is this way, he wanted Treecko to be happy. He wanted to see and hear Treecko laugh. Even if Treecko looked happy, it felt like to David that the gecko Pokemon isn't truly happy. Like something was holding him back to be actually happy with himself and his life.

'This was all because of his damn trainer who made him this way.' David thought in repulsion. Wanting to give Treecko's previous trainer a good ass-whooping. David still couldn't believe that the gecko Pokemon was being treated so poorly and aggressively from that person in the past. It was a good thing in David's mind that he got the gecko Pokemon away from that trainer at Azalea Town before anything worse could have happened to him.

But now's not the time to be relieved over Treecko's safety. Right now David has to face this emotional problem with the gecko Pokemon.

"Look Treecko...... I know that your last trainer gave you a hard time and everything....." The trainer said towards the scared Treecko as he place his hand on the small frame of the gecko Pokemon's shoulder for reassurance. "But you have 'us' now......" David indicating himself and the rest of his companions. "And when I said that no one was going to hurt you anymore, I meant it. As long as you stick with me and the reat of us, your safe." The trainer said while smiling the whole time.

"Hey are we going to battle or what?!" The kid shouted from across towards David as the young trainer placed his hands to his sides while tapping his foot on the gravel path impatiently. David actually almost forgot that he needed to battle this kid as he look towards the annoyed kid.

"Just give us a minute!" David shouted back as he went back to his task at hand. The kid made a *huff* sound and looked away with crossed arms, obviously wanting to get the battle over with. "Treecko, you don't have to battle if you want don't too. But if you do, always keep in mind that I will never hurt you in anyway, you can count on it." David said rather confidently as Treecko was then left to decide.

..........

(Treecko's POV)

'What should I do, what should I do?! I don't know if I can battle again!' I thought as I panic on the thought on whether I should battle or not. 'What if David wasn't true to his words and start doing...... bad things to me...... just like my pervious master.' I thought worriedly.

I wasn't sure if I was able to battle again. After what I've been through with my last master, I thought I would avoid the situation of battling once more. But I guess you can't run away from your fears forever.

Even though I mostly trust David and his Pokemon, because they treat me with the upmost care and respect ever since I joined them after David rescued me. I'm not sure if I should trust David's tactics when it comes to battling with his Pokemon, because I've never seen David battle with his Pokemon before. If he ever battled with them.

Sure Latios and Latias looked okay so far (before Lucario joined us), but David probably just treats them differently. Every trainer treats each and every one of their Pokemon differently. I know, because I can see and tell how David treated his Pokemon.

David loves Latios and that they always stay close to each other (yes I know that they're together even though I'm a little young to know this kind of stuff. It's a long story, involving my pervious master's Pokemon. But that's another story I'll tell you guys some other time). David has a good bond with Latias and would have a lot of fun together. For Lucario, it seems that he's the one being very nice to David, but I don't know if David gives it back as I see him look a little awkward around the canine Pokemon, but I could be wrong. It's not like that they've met before, right? So anyways that just leaves me, David treats me very kindly and seems to care for me, but how is that any different than the way my last master treated me?

When I was traded to my master, at first he treats me nicely and seems to care for me. I thought we were going to be best of friends for a long time. But when it came to Pokemon battles, things started get very...... very intense real quickly (and not in a good way either).

Every Pokemon battles I've done (which was not many), he seems to get more aggressive towards me after every Pokemon battle saying that whatever move I've done, I could have done it better. Or when I've done one simple mistake, he would just scowl at me even if he thinks I didn't notice. But I could feel his eyes looming over me with daggers in them, slicing me with his glares.

It's not my fault that I couldn't battle as good as he expected me to be, I was still young and learning. He can't just expect me to learn the aspects of battling right off the bat, what more could he want from me? Not every Pokemon is battling material, and unfortunately it seems that I'm one of them.

But anyways I was still deciding if I should battle. One part of me says that I should, because I actually want to get stronger so I don't have to be the weakling I thought I was now. But the other part of me says that I shouldn't, because the fear of getting hurt. Not just the fear of Pokemon hurting me myself period, but the fear of my trainer hurting me as well. What if David is going to do the exact same thing of what my last master did to me? I don't want to go through that terrifying experience ever again.

'However, David did say that he promised not to hurt me. He also did rescue me from 'him', and it's not like David is the exact same person as my last master.' I thought, pointing out some of the positivity in this situation.

Besides, I'm tired of being the one who can't defend themselves. Someone who just stands there paralysed from fear and then to be taken advantage of. The only thing I can do is just lay on the ground, holding myself for protection and hope for the beating to stop.

The thoughts of it gave me horrible flashbacks of 'him' towering over me while giving me the beating that would haunt me for the rest of my life. It still gives me shivers up my spine by just thinking about him. But to know I'm not with him anymore, it made me realize something.

'I have a new master now...... and I'm not with my old master anymore. David, my new master, saved me from 'him'. For that I am forever grateful.' I thought as I closed my eyes while putting both paws on my chest. Realizing how foolish I was to mistrust David and to forget that he actually saved me from my abusive trainer, I felt so stupid.

I then took a deep breath, hoping I won't regret my decision and nodded to myself as I reopen my eyes and look up at David. Even though David was kneeling right in front of me, I still had to look up, due to my height. (Being short can always strain you neck if you think about it. xD)

"Okay, I'll do it....... I'll battle." I told David, not sure of what I'm getting myself into.

..........

(Normal POV)

"Well that's great!" David said with enthusiasm. "But are you sure you want to battle? After what you've been through you want to battle again?" The trainer asked. He needed to make sure if Treecko's decision was the right thing for him to do and that he won't regret it afterwards.

"Yes I'm sure." The gecko Pokemon replied while nodding his head with determination.

"Alright, just do what I'll tell you to do and you should be fine." David told the gecko Pokemon. He was going to say more but got interrupted by sudden shouting.

"Hey are you going to talk to your Pokemon all day, or are we going to battle!" The kid said from across from David again as he toss his Pokeball up and down, catching it and then repeats the process.

'This kid is starting to get pissed off now. I don't want to piss him off anymore than he needs to be.' David thought. "Yeah we're ready." David answered as he got up from him kneeling position while Treecko steps forward on the path, or rather than a battlefield for now.

"Finally, okay Bidoof come on out!" The kid shouted while he throws the Pokeball towards the path as the ball hits the ground and releases a bright white light before a Bidoof was revealed across from Treecko.

The brown rodent-likePokemon was all on fours, letting out a growl as the Pokemon was ready to battle. Showing off its two-front teeth to intimidate their opponent as the large front teethes looks sharp enough to rip off tree bark...... or flesh. Treecko on the other hand looked somewhat nervous as he attempts to be in a battle stance.

'What are Treecko's moves anyway?' David asked himself as he then took out his Pokedex to check to see what the gecko Pokemon can do. 'Okay he has Pound, Absorb, and Quick Attack. Hmmm...... not much moves he's got there. I'm going to have to stick with strategy then.' The trainer concluded as it looks like the battle was about to start.

"Are you ready?" The kid said towards David as his only responds was just a simple nod.

It was all silence from everyone for a few seconds as there was a slight breeze going across the battlefield, looking like a western movie. But it all got ruined by a certain 'red Eon Pokemon' shouting from the sidelines.

"Go Treecko! You can do it, kick his butt!" Latias cheered confidently as Treecko blush a deep crimson while in his stance. David on the other hand only face-palmed his face in stupidity from the female Pokemon as awkwardness came in the atmosphere.

'It's a good thing I can only understand Pokemon and not this kid.' David thought assuredly. 'But by the looks of it.......' The trainer looks at Treecko, the Pokemon still looking nervous. '......Treecko needs all the confidence he can get.'

It probably sounded like cooing sounds to the kid as the kid himself looked confused towards the group, but quickly shook his head as he began the battle.

"Okay Bidoof use tackle!" He said as the rodent Pokemon charges towards Treecko.

"Treecko dodge and use Pound!" David shouted as Treecko hesitantly sidestep to his left, barely avoiding the attack. Treecko then jump towards the Bidoof and while in mid air, the gecko Pokemon turns his body around sharply as the dark green tale of his was about to collide behind Bidoof's head when-

"Bidoof quickly use Rollout to dodge and then use it again to attack!" The kid yelled as Bidoof then rolled itself into a ball and quickly avoid Treecko's attack by rolling out of the way. While Bidoof was rolling, what it did next was roll itself around and then roll towards Treecko at top speed.

"Treecko look out!" David tried to warn the gecko Pokemon, but he reacted too late and got a direct hit from the attack and was sent flying towards the trainer.

As Treecko try to get up, he looked up at David with worried eyes, almost as if he's afraid. He was expecting to hear a lecture of some sorts from the trainer, but didn't get one as he kept at staring up at David.

"Don't worry Treecko you still have a chance." The trainer said in reassurance, trying to get his hopes up. Treecko replied by nodding and while struggling to stand up.

"Bidoof hurry use Rollout again while Treecko's on the ground." The kid ordered as Bidoof quickly went into a ball form again and starts rolling in incredible speed, directly towards the gecko Pokemon.

"Treecko dodge it!" David said quickly as Treecko was still on the ground while Bidoof's attack came at the gecko Pokemon like a missile. Treecko just rolled out if the attack as he did a little summersault on the ground and immediately went up in a standing position from the momentum of the summersault.

As Bidoof was still in its ball form, it roll around again to attempt to hit Treecko with the same attack.

"Treecko just keep on dodging until I tell you to do something else." David ordered the gecko Pokemon as he nodded and obeyed the trainer's orders and dodge every attack of Bidoof's Rollout.

This was going on for a minute or two as all this dodging is making Treecko's stamina low and David was aware of that. It clearly shows that the gecko Pokemon is constantly panting while dodging, but the trainer knew that Treecko is not the only one being affected. Bidoof as well is suffering a different effect as the rodent-like Pokemon's Rollout attack was starting to slow down as the attack kept on missing its target.

The attack took too much out of the Bidoof as the Pokemon rolled into a complete stop and uncurl itself and lay there on its stomach looking dizzy as its head swirl around from the result of rolling too long.

"Bidoof, c'mon snap out of it!" The kid said. Sounding desperate as it seems that his Bidoof didn't hear him as everything was going around in circles in its sights.

"Treecko use Quick Attack before Bidoof comes back to its senses." David said as Treecko then ran all on fours towards the dazed Bidoof at high speed with a white glow behind the gecko's trails. No doubt that the attack hit dead on as Bidoof let out a painful groan and was skidded across the battlefield. "Now finish off with Pound, Treecko!" The trainer shouted to the gecko Pokemon and he ran straight towards Bidoof, ready to use his green tail.

"Bidoof hurry, get up and use tackle!" The kid commanded the rodent-like Pokemon as it was still on the ground, recovering from the impact of Treecko's last attack but quickly got up and ran towards the gecko Pokemon.

It seems that it was going slow motion as both Pokemon ran towards each other. Bidoof using his whole body for the attack while running for a harder impact as Treecko jumps in mid air and then does a front flip, making his tail have full momentum for a full on collision when the tail comes down on Bidoof.

When both attack collides with each other, the impact made large clouds of dust, surrounding the two Pokemon. Both trainers wait in anticipation on who defeated who as well as David's companions watch intently in silence.

The clouds started to subside as it revealed two shaped figures as what it seems to look like one of them is on top of the other (not like that you pervs! Man, get you filthy mind out of the gutter! XD) well part of them at least.

When the clouds fully die down completely, Treecko was standing in front of Bidoof with his dark green tail on Bidoof's head as the rodent-like Pokemon was laying flat on his stomach. Treecko's tail was covering most of its face as well. So when Treecko lifted up his tail, Bidoof's face was revealed and it showed 'swirly eyes' on the Pokemon's face as its mouth was slightly apart while having his tongue sticking out. This condition indicating that Bidoof is K.O. (Knocked Out!)

"Nooooo!" The kid said while putting his hands at both side of his head in shock of his Bidoof defeated. It was then that Latias and Latios cheered Treecko on as Lucario claps her paws, impressed at the gecko Pokemon's skills.

David then ran up to towards Treecko with open arms as the gecko Pokemon saw this and ran back to him and jumped into the trainer's arms, shocked and happy at his first win.

"Treecko you did it! I knew you can do it!" The trainer said as he kept hugging the gecko Pokemon in his arms.

"And it's all thanks to you David." Treecko said proudly while rubbing his face against David's chest. But as they embrace each other, David suddenly notice a feint white glow around the gecko Pokemon. Although it only lasted a few seconds as the glow around Treecko faded away and went back to his normal color of reptilian-like skin.

'That glow...... it looks familiar.' David though while still embracing the gecko Pokemon. 'I can't quite put my figure on it, but I know I've seen this before.' The trainer can't figure out what that glow exactly meant, but he put a mental note in the back of his mind that he would need to talk to Nurse Joy once he gets to Jubilife City about the glow coming off from Treecko.

The kid across from David and his companions return his Bidoof and place the Pokeball on his belt while he was reaching out for another Pokeball.

"You were just lucky." He mutters to himself as he now has another Pokeball in his hand. "By the way what's your name?" The kid asked across from David, still hugging his Treecko in his arms.

"David, David Cheng" The trainer replied as he set down Treecko as the gecko Pokemon went over to the two Eon Pokemon while they float down to Treecko's level to celebrate his first win.

"Well David the names Logan." He said as he use his thumb to point at his chest. "You might have defeated my Bidoof, but I don't think you can beat my next Pokemon! Come on out Luxio!" Logan called as he threw the Pokeball on the battlefield revealing a strong looking Luxio all on fours as the spark Pokemon let out a loud roar while showing off its fangs.

'His Luxio is probably more stronger than Treecko.' David mentally thought as he turns his head to the direction of where Treecko was with Latias and Latios as the two Eon Pokemon congratulated the gecko Pokemon by patting him on the back and the saying usual 'good job' and 'you did great' to him as he looked embarrassed from all the complements he's receiving, but he seems to like it. 'And besides, Treecko looks pretty tired and beat up from that battle with Bidoof.' The trainer pointed out. There were a couple a scraps here and there on him, but the gecko Pokemon didn't look seriously hurt, but that still didn't mean that Treecko could still battle.

David didn't want to risk the gecko Pokemon to battle again and get him even more hurt, so he wasn't going to take any chances. That would mean that the trainer's second choice of his Pokemon companions to battle Logan's second Pokemon would have to be either, Latias, Latios, or Lucario.

Unfortunately it can't be Latias or Latios, because they're pretty much legendaries and David's doesn't know what they're capable of if either one of them attacks Logan's Luxio. They can probably do a one hit attack and it's pretty much a win right there (ok maybe not, but they would still do a lot of damage). So it wouldn't be a fair battle in a way to David and he want to at least give his opponents a fighting chance to make things more interesting and challenging.

So it would have to be Lucario, much to the trainer's despair. Even though there's a good chance that the aura Pokemon might be stronger than Logan's Luxio, it would be better than have a legendary to battle a Pokemon much less powerful to them.

"Hey Lucario, want to battle?" David called out to the aura Pokemon with little enthusiasm in his voice.

Lucario was watching the two Eon Pokemon with Treecko as they celebrate Treecko's win, until one of her ears twitched from the sound of her certain 'trainer' calling for him. Upon being called by David, she grins to herself as she swayed her way over to the trainer, almost seductively. It took the trainer a lot of will power to not take a step back from the aura Pokemon as her 'walk' made him have a tint of blush on his cheeks.

"Sure thing...... sexy." Lucario whispers in David's ear as the aura Pokemon walks past the trainer, towards the battlefield where Logan's Luxio was ready to attack at anytime.

"Oh and Lucario......" David said, stopping the aura Pokemon in her tracks as she looks behind towards the more crimson-faced trainer. "Make sure you do 'exactly' as I say, okay?" He said through his teeth while his face turns more flushed by the second.

"Anything for you David...... anything." Lucario replied lustfully while having her eye lids lower to make that 'alluring' affect. The trainer just looks away quickly from the scene before him, not wanting to show his crimson face to the aura Pokemon anymore (and that Lucario was starting to turn him on a little XD).

The aura Pokemon slightly chuckle to herself as she then continues her way towards the battlefield.

'It's been awhile since I've battle a Pokemon.' Lucario thought when she was on the battlefield, across from Luxio as she started to crack her knuckles. 'This should be a good warm up.' As those were her last thoughts before she went into a battle stance. Luxio let out a growl as the spark Pokemon stare dangerously at Lucario to intimidate her. But the aura Pokemon was unfazed by the stare given by the spark Pokemon.

As both Pokemon was having a staring contest, David quickly scans through his Pokedex to look at the aura Pokemon's moves.

'So Lucario has Aura Sphere (of course), Bone Rush, and Force Palm.' The trainer thought as he then hastily places his Pokedex in his pocket, wanting to get this battle over with.

"Alright, are you ready?" Logan announced as David again nodded in response. "Okay Luxio use Spark!" He started as his Luxio was surrounded in blue electricity and charges its way towards Lucario.

"Use Force Palm, Lucario!" David shouted. Lucario then ran towards the charging Luxio with an arm stretched out as there was a light green glow coming out of her black palm as it started to grow bigger while building up power.

Once both Pokemon made contact with each other, Lucario fires a huge green blast from her palm at Luxio as the blue electricity around the spark Pokemon intensified. Both attack made a rather large explosion making both Luxio and Lucario jump back to their trainers as there was, once again, clouds of dust from the attacks in the middle of the battlefield. Making both Pokemon not able to see each other.

While the clouds were still floating on the battlefield, Logan was waiting in silence. Ready to order his Luxio for anything coming their way. As they wait, Logan saw a small blue ball glowing though the clouds, squinting his eyes as he's wonder what it was. It looked like to him that the blue ball was getting bigger and brighter.

When the clouds of dust started to fade away slightly, Logan saw a shadowy image of Luxio's opponent, but it seems as though that it was the Pokemon who was causing the blue ball as it was between its palms. What wasn't expecting to Logan is that the Pokemon then launched the blue ball through the clouds of dust towards his Luxio.

"Luxio watch out!" Logan warned, but the blue glowing ball was too fast for the spark Pokemon to react and got directly hit from the attack as Luxio cried out in pain and got knocked over.

"Lucario now's your chance, use Bone Rush!" David said as Lucario reacted by putting her paws together and spreads them apart, creating a long light green bone of energy in the process. The aura Pokemon then ran through of what's left if the clouds of dust and charge towards the downed Luxio. She jumped in the air and brought the bone of energy behind her head and was going to strike down when she lands in front of Luxio.

"C'mon Luxio get up!" Logan yelled, while the spark Pokemon was still laying in pain from Lucario's last attack as the attack seem to take a lot of damage from it. But in the end Lucario's Bone Rush attack hit Luxio on its head HARD and there was no doubt in Logan's mind that Luxio couldn't have recover from that attack.

Once Lucario's bone of energy disappears from her palm, she backed away from Luxio. In her stance prepared if the spark Pokemon would do anything else. Luxio struggle to get up, but end up falling back down with a groan.

"Okay stop! We're done!" Logan shouted as he ran up to his Luxio and holds the spark Pokemon's head in his arms. While doing this, Logan saw a small stream of blood flowing down Luxio's head, trailing down to its face, down to its mane. Not wanting to suffer his Luxio any further, he quickly returns the spark Pokemon into its Pokeball and put the Pokeball away in his belt.

"Is your Luxio going to be okay? Sorry if Lucario used too much brute force there." David apologized as he walked up towards Logan with his companions close behind.

"It's alright, Luxio had been through worse. He should be good as new once I get him to the Pokemon Center." Logan replied while he stands up as he's in front of David and his companions. "So I guess you would be wanting this." Logan said as he pulled out some cash and hand the money over to David as he then shove the cash in his pocket. "Well I got to go, bye!" Logan said. He ran around David and his companions, running through the opposite direction of where David and his Pokemon friends were heading.

"Alright let's keep going you guys." David ordered as he and everyone else continue to follow the path of route 202, towards Jubilife City.

..........
