A small pichu cringed, hiding behind a rock in her home. She watched with tears in her eyes as a Pikachu was smacked into a wall by a large raichu. The Pikachu was her mother, and the raichu was her father. "Little slut! I saw you eyeing him! You're mine!" the raichu smacked his mate again.

The mother stayed silent, years of this treatment having shown her that arguing did nothing expect make the beating worse. "Fucking whore..." The male's gaze went to the pichu, "Rika! Get over here!"

Reluctantly, she approached her father, to slow for his taste, which got her smacked. "When I call you, you better fucking get over here quick!" He glared, "Now...tell mommy that looking at another male is wrong!"

Rika looked to her mom, sniffling as she refused to say it. Her father growled, bashing his daughter's face into the ground, "Little bitch...just as bad as your mother." He glared, yanking both to the back of the cave, throwing both into the wall. "Both of you fucking cunts stay here..." He left the cave than.

Rika hugged her mother, crying, "Why...why is daddy so mean?"

Rika's mother, Shika, sighed, "He's a monster that's why Rika." He had looked sweet enough at first, but after mating, he had become a controlling asshole. Shika didn't want to stay with him, but the problem was Rika. When Shika was pregnant with Rika, she wouldn't have been able to run away, her condition sapping most of her strength. And now, Rika would never be able to keep up with her mother, and speed was of the essence in escape.

Shika sighed again, shaking her head, "Don't worry Rika...we just have to endure for a bit longer." Rika was already showing she was getting stronger. It wouldn't be long before Rika would be able to flee with her mom. Shika loved her girl, no matter what she thought of her mate, Rika was nothing like him. The mother pet her baby girl, as they both shuddered, hearing the male return. "Rika...get to your little part of the cave...and you, you little slut, raise your fucking tail now!" Rika left her mother, not sure what was going to happen, but new it couldn't have been good.

*****

Shika bit her lip, watching one of her "mate's" friends slap her daughter. "Little bitch! I told you oran!"

Rika sniffled, feeling another slap hit her, curtsey of her father, "Stupid little runt...get him an oran." Rika got up, fearful of another hit from her father or his friend, getting an oran berry, which the male hadn't asked for at first, and presented it to him. "Good little cunt." The friend looked to the father, "You should really leave her with me, I'll teach her how to be a good female. She'll never learn being around her stupid cunt mother."

Rika's father nodded, "I was actually going to do that...but she's still too young to learn everything about being a decent female." He smiled, "But it won't be long...than she can be taught how to make males happy, by being an obedient and diligent little bitch."

Shika clenched her paws, wishing she was more powerful than both males, so she could tear their heads off. Time was growing short; Shika couldn't let Rika be put through what the two males had in mind. It was going to be dangerous, but Shika had gotten an idea of where to go, thanks to one of her friends. She had heard of a peaceful little area, where pokemon of all types lived peacefully, looking out for one another. It wasn't that far either. If they ran all night, and kept running into the new day, they'd reach it by noon.

Rika sniffled, wiping her eyes as she went to her mother. Shika pet her head, "Don't worry Rika...it's almost time. How about going and getting some sleep?" Rika nodded heading off to get some rest. Shika knew she'd need it, because the Pikachu was tired of living with her insufferable mate. It was risky, but they had to leave tonight, before the bastard had a chance to give Rika over to be beaten, and much worse raped.

Shika was glad that the two were eating a lot; it meant that her mate would go to bed quickly, and would probably sleep late into the next day. Eventually the friend left, and her mate pushed her into their room, "Get to sleep whore...I'm not feeling up for giving you the gift of my seed tonight." Shika glared at the wall, lying down.

While Shika waited for the abusive male to sleep, Rika lay in her own part of the cave, crying lightly. She hated males; all they did was hit her. They were all jerks, and her father was the worst of all. Rika sniffled, shivering, going to sleep only to be beset by more males, all of them hitting her when she had done nothing wrong. She tossed and turned, till she was awoken with shaking. Rika looked up to see her mother, but before she could say anything her mouth was covered.

"Quiet baby girl, we're leaving. Now." Shika released her daughter's mouth, and motioned for her to follow. Rika obeyed without question, quietly leaving the cave after her mother. When they had gotten a bit away, Rika whispered a question, "Where are we going momma?"

Shika looked to her daughter, "Away from here Rika...that's all that matters. Now, try your best to keep running okay?" Rika nodded, and the mother and daughter took off. Shika had to hold back on her speed so as not to lose Rika, but it was fast enough as far as she was concerned, actually, they were going faster than she had anticipated. "Pace yourself Rika, we're going to be running all night."

Rika nodded, and slowed down a bit, keeping alongside her mother. Shika smiled, at her girl, looking back occasionally to see if they were still safe. With no sign of pursuit, Shika gave a happy sigh, feeling that they would be safe finally. The two kept running though, putting as much distance between them and the abusive male they had endured for so long.

*****

Rika panted, crawling beside her mother, who was also panting hard. "You did great Rika." Shika smiled, patting her child's head. The two hadn't stopped running once, and it looked like they had made it there finally. Rika looked up, smiling from the praise. Shika looked around, seeing a few pokemon walking around, some were even natural predators of raichu, but despite being seen, no one trouble the mother and child, some even smiled and waved.

Then the two heard growling, two houndours popping out of the bushes. One had pinned the other, and gave a smirk, "ha! I win Cara! This is why I'm the top dog of the family."

Cara, the female houndour below him growled, "You just got lucky."

The pinner smirked, "I'm not just lucky...I'm top do...ouch!" The pup had been knocked off the girl, by a houndoom, "Who's top dog?" she smiled, as the dethroned pup grumbled. "Can't you two play together nice? You're siblings after all." Cara stuck her tongue out, than bolted, her brother giving chase.

The houndoom than noticed the chu's, "Oh...I'm sorry. Good afternoon." She smiled, "I hope we didn't scare you." She approached, and Rika ducked behind her mother. "I'm Azura. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Shika. It's nice to meet you two. This is my daughter." Shika turned to Rika, "Say hi Rika."

Rika meeped lightly, before managing to squeak out a greeting. Azura smiled, "Aren't you just a cutie." She looked back to Shika, "She's just adorable. Those pups were my kids, Cara and Inferno." She giggled, "Don't let that little display fool you, and they're both real nice. Inferno even wants to be a protector for here when he grows up." She blushed, "On...I'm sorry, you don't know what that is I bet, since I've never seen you before. A protector is someone who protects our home."

Shika smiled, "So...it's safe from anyone who'd want to harm us?"

Azura blinked, curious on who'd want to harm them, but didn't ask, "Yep. If they try anything, they'll be quickly beaten to a pulp, and then kicked out. So...I guess that means you're going to live here than huh?" Shika nodded, making Azura smiled, "Great! I'll show you to a vacant place. It's in an old hallowed out tree stump. At least it looks like a tree stump, but it's not really. It was made by a human a long time ago; at least that's what we think. It's pretty nice, but no one new has shown up to take it for a while. I was actually going to suggest to my husband Obsidian that we take it."

Shika smiled, "Thank you Azura."

The houndoom shook her head, "Don't thank me...it's just the neighborly thing to do. Besides, I can never have to many friends. Oh...and I'll have to introduce you to Flanno."

"Who?"

Azura smiled, "He's the elder here you could say. He's kinda in charge of things. He's real nice; proof is that he doesn't give my Inferno a whack whenever he calls him old. And Inferno does that a lot."

Shika giggled, "Inferno sounds like a handful."

Azura nodded, "He is...always running off, adventuring. But he's my special boy, and he's real good deep down. He's gotten in a few fights, protecting some of the littler mon around from bullies. He's going to make a great protector when he grows up. And I'm going to enjoying watching him grow up into that great protector."

Shika smiled, feeling that she made a good choice in homes. Following Azura to meet the rest of her neighbors, and new friends. Rika walked beside her mother, feeling okay with Azura, but also very confused over what she had heard about the male. Why would a male be nice and protect anything? Rika yawned, getting picked up by her mother. She didn't want to think about it, she wanted to sleep, and her mother was happy to let her.

*****

Rika sighed, watching some of the local boys playing around. She was bored, she wanted to play, but she didn't trust the boys at all. She felt a paw on her head, "Rika...why don't you go make some friends? Come on...you're a Pikachu now, don't be such a baby. I'm sure Azura's boy Inferno wouldn't mind paling around with you"

Rika sighed, looking to her mom. The little girl had indeed evolved, overjoyed to be away from her father, but it didn't change that there were males here. "I just don't feel like playing."

"I'm not fooled. They're nice boys here...at the very least Inferno is. You don't think Azura would lie do you?"

Rika shook her head, "No." the Pikachu got up, "Okay mom..." her belly grumbled, "But...first a snack I think."

Shika nodded, "Right...why not get some for Inferno too?" she giggled, "Best way to make friends is offering to share food."

Rika nodded, and went for her favorite berry picking spot. She sighed, "I guess mom's right though...Inferno...and his friends do seem nice...they aren't mean to any of the other girls." Rika shook her head, "But then again...I guess they are far from normal in any regards...especially the fire mutt." She giggled lightly.

"Hey! What are you doing in our spot spark bitch!?"

Rika turned, sparking lightly from the remark. She found a bunch of growlithes in front of her. "This is my spot fire mongrels." She had learned one thing from her father, and that was to never let a male walk on her ever again.

The lead growlithe snarled, "What was that?"

"I said you're fire mongrels! And your mother was a sissy little wobbuffet." Rika replied, glaring at the male, who was glaring at her. Then the growlithe rushed her, body slamming her back, the Pikachu yelping lightly. Rika stayed on her feet though, the glares not faltering. "You little bitch, you're gonna regret that remark." The head of the gang motioned to move in.

She spat, "I call'em as I see'em. Sorry if you all are a bunch of ignorant boys, that couldn't take a little pidgey that was blind and deaf."

"That's it, tear off her mouth!"

All of a sudden, a houndoom dropped down, "Whoa! Hold it! This doesn't seem fair, how many of you are there, and there's only one of her."

The leader growled, "Stay out of this Inferno."

Inferno shook his head, "Not gonna happen, I'm not gonna let you just beat on her because you can." Rika could only watch in shock, seeing a male who she didn't really know all that well stand in her defense. She couldn't help but smile lightly, but she quickly got ready to fight, cause the growlithe weren't backing down.

*****

Rika smiled, laughing as she jumped on the chikorita Raze's back, sending him to the ground, "Boo yeah! I'm the queen!"

She grinned, giving a victory pose. Raze grumbled, "only beat me cause you're queen fat."

Rika sparked, "What was that?"

Raze said nothing, as Inferno and Spark broke into laughter. Rika humphed, "You're just jealous that you got beaten by a girl."

"A fat gi...OUCH!" Raze held his gut, Rika having just kicked it.

Inferno was on his back laughing, "You should have stayed shut up Raze. You should never call a girl fat." He was rolling around as he laughed.

Rika humphed, "Inferno's right...especially a pretty thin one."

Spark rolled his eyes, "Now you're being a bit on the..."

"The...what Spark?" Rika looked to the eevee, and he quickly shut up.

"Rika!" The pikachu turned to her mother, waving, "Come on honey...let's get some food."

Rika nodded, "later guys." She took off, leaving the three to smile and continuing playing around. The mother and daughter pair smiled at one another, heading off to their favorite berry spot. The two happily gathered up a moderate pile and sat down to eat.

"Mom?"

Shika blinked, "Yes Rika?"

"Do you think...I'll ever find..." Rika blushed, "A...good male?"

Shika giggled, "I'm sure you will...though...seeing how you play with your friends...I hope he's durable."

Rika blushed more, "Mom!"

"I'm just saying dear." Shika smiled, "What brought that question up?"

"Well...I heard Cara saying how she wanted to meet a nice male...and...with all those stories you hear about a male coming to rescue a female...I was just wondering."

Shika grinned, "Don't worry Rika...You're going to get a great guy...just don't forget...life isn't a fairy tale, there's always going to be some rough waters in every relationship...but...if you really love one another...you'll handle it in each other's paws." Shika grinned even more, "Are you hoping Inferno's that male?"

Rika gagged, "No! He's a good friend...but he's way to crazy. And he's a big momma's boy too."

Shika giggled, "Alright...I had to ask Rika." The pair laughed together, but it was cut short when Shika was hit to the ground, "I finally found you! You dirty little whore!"

Rika stared in horror, her father standing over her mother. "Thought you could escape huh!? Well I'll teach you to try and leave me!" He began to beat on Shika, "Dirty little fucking slut! How many males you been screwing while you thought I was gone for good!?"

Shika cried out, feeling the male repeatedly strike her face, "I'll make you so ugly a male wouldn't think twice about talking to such a scummy slut!" The beating kept coming, then suddenly stopped. Shika opened her eyes, seeing Rika standing between the two parents.

Rika's father was rubbing at the spot he had been kicked in, "Disrespectful little cunt! I won't stand that from any daughter of mine!"

"Fuck you, you bastard! You're no father!" Rika sparked, standing her ground. She wasn't going to let her dad harm her or her mother anymore. But the chu was caught off guard by a punch to the gut. While trying to recover, Rika was grabbed by her neck and lifted up; her father's other paw drawing back.

"Little bitch...I was going to give you lessons in being a proper fem when we got home...but I'll do it now!" Shika glared, trying to get up, as the raichu threw a mega punch.

Rika felt herself dropped, and heard her father scream in pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw a houndoom's teeth imbedded into the raichu's arm. The houndoom tossed the male aside, Rika recognizing the houndoom as Inferno's father, Oblivion. "You got a lotta nerve coming here and attacking our friends."

Azura stepped up to fully block access to the two pikachus. "I don't know who you are...but you had better get the fuck outta here!"

The raichu stood up, "Stay outta this! Those two bitches are mine! That slut ran out on me...I've got to teach her a lesson...especially taking my little slut of a girl with her."

Obsidian's tail began to wave agitated.

"I have rights! I'm the male! And I'm going to show them who's boss! They're little fucking whores! Now get out of my way you mutts!"

"Fine..." Obsidian stood erect, and the raichu thought he was listening, "If you think that, then I'm not letting you get away." The houndoom male snarled, "I'm not about to let a disgrace to all of male kind leave in one piece." Azura nodded in agreement with her mate, and both charged.

The two pikachu held one another, watching as the two mates made quick work of the raichu. Rika's father tried to attack, but one arm was out, and Azura made short work of the other. And Obsidian was given unobstructed access to the throat, and his jaws didn't hesitate one to clamp down. The raichu's body fell limp, dead.

Rika stared on, seeing her father not moving. "I'm going to dump this piece of shit away from here...you help the girls home Azura."

The female houndoom nodded, helping the two chu's away from the scene. "Azura...how?" Shika looked to her friend.

"Inferno saw it. I'm surprised he didn't jump in...though I am glad...that jerk might have hurt him along with you two."

Rika held onto her mother, sniffling. The mother chu held her tighter close, "It's okay Rika...he's gone."

Rika nodded, "I'm glad he is."

"Me too honey...me too." Shika pet her girls head.

"Rika! You okay?" Inferno had come up to them.

Rika nodded, "Yeah...thanks for getting help Inferno." The chu hugged him.

Inferno smiled, "Don't mention it...he looked pretty crazy...and stupid...and that's always dangerous."

Rika gave a content sigh, not all males were bad. She had learned that, but...her father wouldn't be the only monster...there were bound to be more down the line in her life. She shuddered, praying to arceus that she didn't meet the same fate as her mother...to love a male who late turns into a dark and evil creature.

"Hey mom, can Rika and Shika join us for dinner?"

Azura turned to the two chus, tilting her head. Shika nodded, "We'd love too."

Rika nodded, "Yeah...thank you." She wiped her eyes, "For everything."Chapter End Notes:This is the only happy ending of the stories I'm doing. It's the only one that has the badness at the start too.

I also think this will be the least heart rending
