Spirit of the Omicron

Warm Water Prank

"What's that smell? It smells like...like...Oh gross! Chaaaaase!"

The blond boy heard the ear-shattering screech all the way from downstairs and smirked as he walked into the kitchen. "What did you do to your sister this time?" the fair-haired woman asked worridely as the boy took a seat at the table next to the man with the auburn hair.

"Put her hand in warm water while she was sleep," the boy answered proudly. "Well, I didn't do it exactly like that. You see the trick is to put the water in a squirt gun and only let small drops of it fall onto the person's hand until they pee themselves. That way you don't have to worry about them waking up. If you have a water Pokémon, it'll be even easier to do. Only took ten minutes before Sierra had her little...accident."

"That's brilliant!" the man with the auburn hair exclaimed. "How in the world were you able to process the probablity of success and calculate how long it would take for the water to take effect?" A glare from the blond woman immediately set the man straight. He quickly cleared his throat. "Um...I mean you should be nicer to your sister, Chase."

"Be serious Dad," Chase started. "Were you ever nice to your sisters? That totally defeats the whole purpose of being the older brother. Besides, I'm only giving Sierra a little taste for what's in store for her when we get to Delta City. Don't worry, I'll protect her from those Omega freaks."

"Why do I find it extremely hard to believe you?" the blond woman asked. "Especially since you always make sure to do the exact opposite of whatever you promise me that you'll do. I think you should at least try to be nicer to your classmates this year."

"I make no promises..."

As the young man finished his breakfast, he began telling his parents about his goals for the year mainly how he planned on reaching the highest rank at Omicron Prepatory School in Delta City. He continued for at least half an hour before he heard footsteps approaching him. "Hey Mom, Dad," Chase started. "Do you smell that stench? It kind of smells like ammonia."

"Chase, you jerk!"

Chase stood up and whirled around. He looked down and stared into the light brown eyes of a red-haired girl. Her freckled-face was red in embarrassement and she appeared as if she was ready to murder someone. "Still wetting the bed at fourteen, Sierra?" he taunted. "How are you going to last at Omicron if you're still falling for the old warm water prank?"

"You ass!" Sierra yelled as she lounged at her brother. She jumped on his back and he immediately began running around, trying to knock her off. It was only after their parents intervened that they ceased their fighting.

"I'll be in the truck," Chase told them. "Pee-Erra, you got two minutes before I leave you. We still gotta get Leon and the Pack and it's a two-hour drive to Delta City, so hurry it up! Mightyena, let's go!"

The wolf Pokémon stood up from the couch and followed his trainer out. Sierra started to follow, but was stopped by her parents. "We just want to wish you good luck," her mother stated. "Make sure your brother doesn't get too big a head and that he and his friends keeps his pranks to a minimum."

"If that's possible," her father added. "Try to control your temper."

Her mother grinned before speaking. "If that's possible..."

"So..." Chase continued as he and Sierra sat in his truck. "You'll get a normal Pokémon when we get to Omicron. Move up a rank, get another Pokémon. The type of Pokémon you get when you advance depends on what group you're in. Alphas get a bug type, Sigmas get a flying type, and Omegas get a Poison type. To move up a rank, all you have to do is stuff like good deeds, winning battles, and getting good grades. You probably should just go with the first one since Arceus knows you're an average battler at best and let's not even get started on making good grades."

"You're so hilarious," Sierra replied sarcastically. "Are you done now?"

"No," he replied. "All the academy stuff will be explained by the Sisters when we get to Omicron, but I'm about to tell you about the groups. As you know, your big bro is in Alpha with the rest of the Pack, all the hot girls, and the coolest Pokémon. That's the group for the winners. Isn't that right, Mightyena?"

"Miii..." it grunted from the back seat.

"Now," Chase continued. "The Sigmas are alright. They're less talented and not as cool, but it's a good place to be if you like to chill. And then there's the Omegas. Basically, if you're an emo nerd, that's where you belong. I guarentee you'll meet some of them when we get to Delta City..."

Sierra sat back in her seat as her brother finished his speech about the groups of Omicron. After he began driving, she wondered what was in store for her in Delta City. After a few minutes, the truck stopped in front of a large brick house. Sierra noticed a boy with deep brown eyes and shoulder-length black hair in dreadlocks standing in the driveway with a guitar case strapped on his back. His dark sunglasses were perched on the top of his head and he seemed to be humming. Sierra immediately stepped out the truck to greet him.

"Did you get my text, Leon?"

"Yeah," the boy replied. "Warm water trick. Definitely not cool."

"Really?" Chase called out from the truck. "If I recall, I remember sending a certain someone a text last night telling them that I was planning the prank."

"Why didn't you tell me!" Sierra yelled at Leon.

"I didn't think he was actually going to go through with it!" the boy defended. "I was completely against it. Besides, how was I suppose to know that you'd actually wet the bed. I thought the hand in warm water thing was a myth."

"You're lucky you're my best friend..." Sierra muttered. "Anyway, are you ready to take Delta City by storm?"

"You know it."

"Good, let's do it!"

"Aww, how cute," Chase taunted sarcastically. "Now get in before I leave."

Sierra shot an evil glare at her brother as she helped Leon put his luggage in the van. Sierra and Leon made their way to the third row with Mightyena sitting at their feet. "Who else is riding with us?" Leon asked curiously.

"Chase's friends," Sierra answered. "They call themselves-"

"The Pack!" Chase yelled proudly from the front. "Only the best group of pranksters in the history of history. This year, we're leaving our mark on Omicron and all of Delta City!"
