CHAPTER 1 - The One With A Request

It was a nice day outside. The sun was shining and there was a cool breeze.
"It's a nice day" a boy said, looking out the window, before closing the curtains.
"Too bad the Pokémon World Championships replay marathon is on today!" he squealed, sitting on his bed and pulling out his laptop, preparing for the day's event. A Riolu pops out of the blankets and makes it's way to the boy's head, placing itself there.
"Rio! Riolu!"
"Relax Kuro, the videos are almost done buffering!"
Then the boy heard a voice.
"Omega! Come down stairs please! It's very important!"
The boy, Omega, grunted and rolled his eyes, shutting the laptop's lid. He got out of bed and walked downstairs, Kuro trailing behind him. Eventually, he reached the kitchen.
"What do you want mom? I was about to do something important!" he whinged.
"Oh, stop your complaining!" his mother scolded. "Anyway, Professor Elm from next door asked me to ask you for a favour. You should go and see him right now!"
Omega rolled his eyes again. "Yes, mom..." he agreed. He went back upstairs and got changed into his outdoor clothes. White T-Shirt, teal shirt, black jeans, black converses, his favourite Triforce necklace and, of course, his glasses.
"Kuro, are you coming with me?" he asked the Riolu, holding out his arm.
"Riolu!" he replied, running up his arm and placing herself on his shoulder. He went back downstairs.
"Now, I've packed your bag for you, Omega. It's got your Trainer Card and your Pokegear in it, just in case!" she smiled.
"Thanks mom. See you later!" he shouted as he walked out the door.

As he made his way to Professor Elm's lab, he notices something odd. There was a boy with red hair hiding in the bushes, looking through the window.
"That boy looks older than me, what's he doing playing hide-and-seek?" he thought. But he dismissed it and went inside the lab.
"Ah, Omega! You showed up!" cheered the Professor.
"Yea, I'm here. What do you want me to do?" Omega said bluntly.
"Well, I need you to pick up a package from my friend named Mr. Pokémon. He lives north of Cherrygrove City, so it's not that far. Just get the package and bring it here." explained the Professor.
"Sounds simple enough, let's go Kuro!"
"Ri! Rio!" cheered the Riolu as they left the lab, heading in the direction of Cherrygrove City.

After a bit of walking, they finally made it to Cherrygrove.
"Phew! I'm tired!" panted Omega. He had to run from tree shadow to tree shadow, or the sun would hurt his sensitive skin. "Let's go rest up at that Pokémon Center!" he said to his Pokémon, pointing at the red building. They walked inside, and it was like nothing they had ever seen. Omega walked up to the counter, Kuro close behind.
"Welcome to the Pokémon Center!" said the lady behind the counter. "I'm Nurse Joy, how can I help?"
"Uh, hi..." said Omega quietly. Omega is very timid around people he doesn't know that much, it's probably his only flaw. "I'd like... directions... to Mr... Pokémon's house?"
"Ah, yes, Mr. Pokémon's house!" she smiled. "Just go north when you leave here, and his house is just before the hill."
"Th-thank you..." he stammered, before finding a place to sit for a while. He pulled out his Pokegear. A smile spread across his face.
"Kuro, they have free Wifi here, isn't that great!" he said excitedly. As he was updating all the features, two little kids approached him.
"Wow, your Riolu is cute! Can we play with it?" asked the little girl. Omega isn't timid around little kids, only older people.
"Sure! His name is Kuro!" he explained.
"Kuro!" gasped the boy. "That's so cool!"
Kuro jumped of the sea next to Omega and played with the two children. An older woman approached him, about the same age as his mom.
"I'm so sorry, I hope my children aren't causing any trouble!" she apologised.
"No, no! It's fine, really they're just... playing, it's fine, really..." he said shakily.
"Such a nice boy! My name is Elise. I'm from Goldenrod City in the west. Hey, do you know Bill's PC?" she asks. Bill's PC is a PokeTube channel where the host, Bill, discusses different Pokémon each episode.
"Yeah, I'm a big fan!" Omega nods.
"I thought you might be! Well, I'm his wife!" she smiles.
Omega is shocked. "No way, that's so cool!"
"If you ever want to meet him, just drop past our house! I'm sure the kids would love it, and you might just be able to catch Bill!" she added.
"Yeah, if I'm ever in Goldenrod, I'll make sure to visit!" he agreed. Elise rounded up her kids and they left the Pokémon Center. Omega packed his things and left the Pokémon Center soon after.

"Wow, Bill's family! I never imagined he'd have one!" he said excitedly to himself. As he approached the turn off for Violet City, Omega heard a strange sound. It was someone moaning, in pain! Omega frantically looked around, and soon found a girl and a Skitty lying on the ground unconscious.
"Miss! Miss, are you OK?"

 

CHAPTER 3 - The One With Crimson Hair

Omega blushed. He had never had anyone cry on his shoulder before, let alone a girl. He began to lift his hand to stroke her hair, but thought it would seem weird, and creepy, so he just began patting her back.
"I'm sure that... that we'll find the Totodile..." he said, as cheerfully as possible. Licia looked up at him, her mascara still dripping down her face.
"How?!" she screamed at him. "How are we supposed to find him? He could be anywhere! That stupid red-headed-"
"Wait, did you say red-headed? As in, he had red hair?" Omega asked while shaking her shoulders. She nodded. He let go of her, causing her to topple over on the seat.
"Hey, get back here!" she yelled, but Omega was already out the door.

"Kuro, scan the area! Tell me if you sense any people hiding!" he commanded. The little blue Pokémon nodded, and put its arms out straight in front of it, slowly turning. He stopped, his hands pointing in the direction of New Bark Town.
"Ri... Rio!" Kuro growled. Omega knew exactly what he meant.
"Someone's coming!" he thought.
Suddenly, a cold mist began to creep from the path. Omega and Kuro backed away, until their backs were up against the side of a nearby building.
"Wh-who's there?" stammered Omega. In response, two flashes of bright light passed by Omega's eyes, causing them to shut instinctively. He slowly opened them to find the source of this light was, in fact, two icy spikes, that were piercing the shoulders of his shirt, rendering him unable to move.
"Do you like that? It's Ice Shard, Sneasel's specialty!" a voice from the mist laughs. In response, a Sneasel's laughter can also be heard.
"Sh-show your s-self!" Omega stuttered. The voice became a figure, a menacing figure at that. He stepped out of the mist and into the area lit by a street lamp.
"It's you! The boy who was peeking into the Professor's Lab!" Omega said when he recognised the crimson hair. The boy, now standing at full height, showed off his full demeanor. He wore a black leather jacket, had piercings in his right ear and a devilish grin on his face.
"So, you know who I am? I can't imagine that you wouldn't, since I'm the greatest thief of all time. I am..." he announced, "Hiroki Roketto! And I've snagged myself a wonderful tidbit today, this rare Totodile!" he held up the Poké Ball, which was said to contain the Totodile.
"Not if I can help it! Kuro, Quick Attack!" commanded Omega. Instantly, the Riolu dashed forward, grabbing the Poké Ball. But all Hiroki did was grin.
"Ha! You felt for it, just like I knew you would! Sneasel, Aerial Ace!" he commanded. The Sneasel lunged at Omega's Pokémon, slashing at it with it's claws. The super-effective hit caused the Riolu to faint.
"K-Kuro!" Omega stammered. Hiroki slowly approached him.
"You think I would just expose my prize! Totodile's Poké Ball is here, strapped to my belt, and you'll never get it back!" he taunted. Then he clicked his fingers and the Sneasel lunged toward Omega, knocking him unconscious.

 

CHAPTER 5 - The One With The New Friend

Omega paced around anxiously while his Pokémon was undergoing intensive care. Kuro had been in for about 2 hours now, and Omega couldn't handle it.
"Oh, my poor Kuro... I hope he'll be OK..." he kept muttering to himself. Licia was growing agitated.
"Omega please sit down! You're making me dizzy with all your walking!" she barked at him. Omega stopped instantly.
"Y-Yes ma'am..." he muttered before sitting silently next to Licia.
Another thirty minutes pass, and the intensive care light finally goes out. Kuro, who is covered in bandages, was sitting on a trolley being pushed by a Chansey. Omega ran up to him, picked him up and squeezed him very tight.
"Oh, Kuro! I'm so glad you're OK!" he cried. Kuro was actually suffocating because Omega was squeezing him so hard.
"Omega, please control yourself! You're hurting Kuro!" Nurse Joy said with a concerned tone. Omega blushed a little and put Kuro back on the trolley.
"Now, Kuro will need to rest for a few days, but then he'll be just fine!" Nurse Joy smiled.
Omega turned to Nurse Joy.
"Thank you..." he smiled weakly. He softly picked up his Pokémon and headed toward the door, before remembering about Licia.
"You said you had a package you needed to deliver to Professor Elm... I know where his lab is, I could guide you?" he asked shyly.
Licia nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a great idea!" she said as she got up, her Skitty following close behind her.

As they walked towards New Bark Town, they realised that between the two towns, the route was very dark. Omega, of course, did not like the dark very much. There were lots of Spinarak and Hoothoot looming around in the trees, which only made it worse for him.
"Licia, you wouldn't happen to have any Pokémon with Flash on you?" he asked hastily.
Licia shook her head. "No I don't... but I do have this!" She held up a Poké Ball released it's contents, revealing and them to be a Cyndaquil. The flames on it's back shine brightly, chasing away all the nearby darkness.
"Wow, that's so cool!" Omega said openly. The Cyndaquil smiled and made it's way up to Omega's head, where it sat comfortably. Licia giggled.
"I think he likes you!" she taunted, which caused Omega to blush. As thry walked the rest of the way to New Bark Town, the mood seemed more friendly. Omega and Licia exchanged jokes and dank memes, until they finially reached New Bark Town. They headed straight to the lab.

"Omega! Thank goodness, I was so worried!" were the first words Omega heard as soon as he walked into the lab. This frightened the Cyndaquil, causing it to fall off of Omega's head and onto the floor. Chris picked it up and stroked it under it's chin, which seemed to calm it down.
"Is that the Cyndaquil I ordered? It seems to have taken a liking to you, so why don't you keep it?" Elm smiled. Omega's eyes lit up.
"Really? Thank you so much! I think I'll call him... Kai!" he smiled. Kai cheered in agreement.
"Now, where are the other two Pokémon?" asked Elm, before looking behind Omega. "And who is that?"

 

CHAPTER 7 - The One With The Obsessive Mother

"W-Wait!" Omega yelled. Licia turned around.
"What?" she snapped. Omega pointed to the sky. The pitch-black sky. Licia looks up and then slightly blushes.
"Exactly. You can sleep at my place, it isn't far!" Omega smiled before running off in the direction of his house. Licia reluctantly followed.
"Omega! Oh, I was so worried when you didn't come back!" Omega's mom said while squeezing him tightly.
"Mom, I'm fine. Let go of me!" Omega whined, struggling to break loose. Licia cleared her throat.
"Oh, who's this? Omega! Did you get a girlfriend?!" Omega's mom said, clapping her hands together. Both Omega and Licia blushed profusely.
"M-Mom! She's just a friend! We're going to find a guy who stole from her, but she needs a place to stay!" Omega explained angrily.
"Hush hush!" Omega's mom said, waving her hand. "I'll go upstairs and set up the spare mattress!"
"Sh-She can't sleep with me!" Omega stuttered. Licia punched his arm. Hard.
"What, am I not good enough for you?!" she yelled.
Omega looked down, rubbing his arm. "No, it's just... forget it. You can take my bed, I'll sleep on the couch. Good night..." and with that, Omega took Kuro and Kai and went into the lounge, closing the doors and turning off the lights. Omega's mom came back downstairs.
"The beds are... where's Omega?" she asked, looking around. Licia pointed to the lounge.
"He went in there... he didn't want to sleep with me..." she said sadly. Omega's mom patted her back.
"It's OK, he's really shy. He'll warm up to you, I promise. Now, come upstairs and I'll set you up. think I have a spare pair a pajamas your size..."
"Oh gosh, I don't need pajamas!" Licia said. Omega's mom shook her head in response.
"Nonsense! You can't sleep in those! I'll wash them for you while you sleep, now go get some rest!"
"Yes, ma'am. Thank you..." Licia said as she headed up the stairs.

 

CHAPTER 9 - The One With The List Of Fears

It had been 2 days since Omega and Licia had left New Bark Town, and they had finally arrived in Violet City.
"So, what should we do first?" Omega asked quietly. Licia turned to him, a bit peeved off.
"First of all, speak up. Second, we need to go to the Pokémon Center and see if Nurse Joy or any other trainers have seen Hiroki."
"Right, right... sorry..." Omega mumbled. And with that, Licia headed toward the Pokémon Center.

"Hello, and welcome to the Pokémon Center!" smiled Nurse Joy.
"Hello! Have you seen a boy around here lately. Specifically one with crimson hair, a single earring and two Pokémon, a Sneasel and a Totodile?" Licia asked over the counter.
"Why yes, he was just here earlier!" Nurse Joy said, shocked at the coincidence.
"Really? Do you know where he was going?" Licia asked, equally surprised.
"He wasn't much of a talker, but he seemed to be training, so maybe he went to Sprout Tower, which is to the north of here..."
"OK, thanks Nurse Joy!" Licia smiled.
"No problem, have a nice day!" Nurse Joy said, waving as Licia left the Pokémon Center.

"So, did you find anything?" Omega asked.
"Nurse Joy said that Hiroki was there earlier, and he might be..." she dramatically turned, pointing at a rickety tower in the northern part of town. "There!"
Omega shuddered at the thought of going into the tower, which seemed to be slightly swaying.
"You mean, we have to go in there?" Omega said shakily.
"Oh, grow a pair of balls, would ya?" Licia said slapping Omega's back, causing him to let out a loud 'ooof'. "It's our only lead, whaddaya afraid of?"
"Well... heights, the dark, ghosts, dying, Hiroki..." Omega said, counting the words he said on his fingers. Licia rolled her eyes.
"It'll be fine, come on!" she said, dragging Omega into Sprout Tower.

 

CHAPTER 11 - The One Who Left His Comfort Zone

The shadowy figure didn't seem to like Licia summoning an ally, and it seemed to growl in response. Omega, who was still frozen in place, picked up on it.
"It's growling... is it a Pokémon?" he muttered.
Before Licia could command Lief to attack, the figure lunged forward. Omega instinctively jumped in front of her, letting the figure attack his body. He cried out in pain as he felt his body go numb, and he collapsed to the ground.
"O-Omega!" Licia cried out, bending down to his aid.
"G-Get... K-Kuro..."
Licia nodded, grabbing a Pokéball from Omega's belt and summoming the Pokémon. Kuro spun and ran to Omega, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Don't worry about me, just use Foresight on that thing..." he stuttered.
Kuro followed his trainer's command, red beams shooting out of his eyes. When the beams hit the figure, it became more defined, and revealed itself to be a Gastly.
"Now you can... fight it..." Omega smiled, before passing out.
Licia, determined to avenge her friend, went all out against the Gastly. Since Foresight enables Ghost-types to be hit by Normal-type attacks, a few Tackles from Lief did the trick. After the Gastly fled, Licia looked down at Omega. Although he was unconscious, she could tell how much pain he was in. Deciding it'd be best to head back to the town, Licia grabbed Omega by the shoulders and dragged him back to the entrance of the tower, with Kuro and Lief each holding up one of his legs.
"But why would he do that? The way he protected me was... unbelievable..."

 

CHAPTER 13 - The One With Death Sentence

Omega opened his eyes, finding that he had passed out again. he wasn't sure why, but he kept passing out every few minutes. He could barely remember what he was doing in between each stupefaction, but he did remember what Licia said before she left.
"Listen Omega, I have to go on my own."
The memory once again fresh in his mind, Omega's eyes began to water.
"I shouldn't have let her go on her own, it's too dangerous. If only I wasn't so useless..."
Deciding that sitting in a hospital bed and doing nothing wasn't an option, Omega sluggishly rolled out of the bed and hobbled over to the door. He was still wearing his hospital gown, which Kuro was pulling against, trying to get him to stay inside. Omega regrettably returned Kuro into his Pokéball, and continued to struggle to the doorway. Surprisingly, the hospital was short-staffed, so Omega had no trouble leaving,, especially since his ward was on the ground floor.

Omega darted behind buildings and between trees to make sure he wasn't spotted. He needed to get to Sprout Tower immediately, no matter the cost. He could feel his body growing faint, and his vision began to blur, but he pressed on. He knew that if Hiroki was in the tower, that Licia wouldn't stand a chance alone. He at least had to be there, to help her in some way. He struggled as he climbed the tower, soon finding it hard to breathe. His glasses began to fog up due to his heavy breathing, before his legs suddenly gave way. But he didn't give up. Using only his arms, he pulled himself up a ladder, finding himself on the top floor of the tower. Unknowingly, he had taken an alternate route that involve less but much harder to climb ladders, which probably drained the tiny amount of energy he had left much faster.

Suddenly, something rushed past in the shadows. Omega thought it was just his vision, and since his arms were his only source of transportation, he couldn't take the time to clean his glasses. There was the sound of wind blowing, before two icy spikes hurtled towards him, piercing the sides of his hospital gown. he struggled to get free, the fabric of the gown eventually tearing underneath the spikes, shredding it to pieces. Omega managed to pull himself up against a nearby pillar, clinging on to it as if his life depended on it, because it did.
"H-Hiroki... I know you're there... come out here and fight me like a man, you bastard..." Omega grunted, his new upright position causing him to feel very dizzy. A flash of crimson red appeared in the shadows, before Hiroki emerged from them, tearing one of the icy spikes from the ground before returning to Omega. He placed it under his chin, it's bitter cold snapping Omega back into reality.
"You... you're that trainer from Cherrygrove, the one with the Riolu... Nice dress!" he sneered.
"S-Shut up... Just give back Totodile and get out of my sight..."
"Totodile? Oh, you mean this guy?" Hiroki said as he threw a Pokéball out in front of him, a Pokémon emerged, but it wasn't Totodile. It was much larger, with red spikes on it's head, back and tail. It's body was blue and yellow, and it's piercing red eyes shone in the darkness. It growled ferociously.
"This is Croconaw, Totodile's evolved form. I've been training him very hard, and now he's amazingly strong. Not like those two weaklings he used to be friends with."
"Kai and Lief are not weaklings!" Omega retorted.
"Oh really? Well, why don't we have a one-on-one then; my Croconaw against your little Cyndaquil."
Omega looked at the floor. He didn't have his clothes on, so Kai was still on his belt, and he had left Kuro in the hospital after retreating him into his Pokéball.
"He's not here..."
Hiroki laughed, the menacing tone echoing throughout the tower.
"Pathetic, a trainer who doesn't even have Pokémon on him. You're weak, so just go."
Omega held his glare, he didn't want to show weakness to Hiroki. He had to stay strong.
"Never. I'm never leaving, not until you give back what you stole. That Pokémon isn't yours!"
"I gave you a chance, and you didn't take it. Since you don't want to leave, I'm going to have to force you!"
And in one smooth movement, Hiroki moved the spike from Omega's neck and stabbed it into his right leg. Blood spurted out at an alarming rate, and Omega howled in pain, beofre crashing to the ground.
"Don't get in my way again, you stupid little-"
"Hey! Get away from him!" a feminine voice called out.
