INTOTHESTORY
He crept in, silent as the night.
The room around him was black, the darkness interrupted by the quiet whirring of machinery. Leaning against the wall, he pulled a pokeball from his belt and called out the pokemon inside.
The pokemon materialised into existence, and with a smile, faced him. Smirking, he said, "Sparky, you know what to do. If there's a guard, tamper with the cameras, if not, destroy the evidence." He nodded, and smiling again, the Rotom darted around the cameras views and darted into one of them watching the room. It whirred a bit longer before slowly shutting down.
This process repeated in a line, each camera along the way slowing down with their whirring before tilting down, broken. Smiling, the teen nodded before sneaking down the hallway, on the lookout for more machinery that could halt his process.
Further, down the hallway, it opened into a wider room, the plain walls some more whirring machinery. The teenager gritted his teeth. "A security system!" He thought. But any building with valuables in it would have some version of this type of system, and luckily for him, he brought some more pokemon along with him that were perfect for solving this problem. After checking for any more cameras (though he was sure that Sparky had taken care of all of them) the teen called out two new pokemon.
"Flame, Storm, come out!" He said, and a Charmander and Squirtle materialised, crying their names out.
"You guys know what to do." The duo nodded, and turning to the cameras, Flame shot a Flamethrower and Storm shot a Water Gun in front of the teen, combining and creating steam just below the security. The steam rose up, allowing him to see the beams that would set off an alarm.
With the pokemon following him, the teen went forward, dodging the beams being revealed by the steam. The duo following him copied him.
This process followed until he reached a part of the wall that was different that the others. The teen motioned for the creatures behind him to stop.
In front of him, facing each other on opposite walls was a column of the cameras. There was no way across, save for breaking the wall and going around. The teen grimaced, and said into his watch, "Sparky, anything you can do?" A message came back, saying that the Rotom could disable two of them, but any more and security would be alerted.
The teen waited for a moment, when two of the cameras whirred and died. Hard, but not impossible. Grabbing another pokeball from his belt, he called out his fourth pokemon. "Ivy, go!" The Bulbasaur appeared from the pokeball and faced her trainer, waiting for orders.
"Okay, use your vines and lift me through the gap in those cameras," The boy instructed. She nodded and two vines emerged from the bulb on her back, wrapping themselves around his waist and lifting him up in the air. He lay down in the air, allowing the Bulbasaur to slowly push him through the gap, cleverly manoeuvring the vines so that they themselves wouldn't touch the beams.
Landing safely on the other side, the boy stood, interrupted, nothing between him and his prize.
A key stone.
It glowed brightly on the purple pillow holding. Next to it, a smaller stone lay, the mega stone that was paired with it. The teen walked closer, marvelling at the multiple colours that were in the two stones. As he reached out to grab them, he didn't notice that there was a weight detector underneath the cushion. As he picked up both stones, the weight lifted off the plate, causing an alarm to go off. The boy instantly came back into reality.
"Shit!" He swore. The teen turned tail and ran back towards the exit, recalling all his pokemon back except one. In the doorway stood a guard, his big figure obscuring the night sky outside.
"Hey, stop right the-" His sentence was interrupted by the boy calling out that Storm uses Water Gun. The guard burbled through a mouthful of water, "Stop…" More guards were running towards the scene, but after recalling Squirtle, Bryce was already sprinting into the night.
The next morning…
"In other news, the thief known as the Shadow has once again struck!" A news reporter, sitting behind the desk, announced. The aforementioned Shadow, a 16-year-old boy named Bryce, was watching the broadcast.
"The thief struck again last night, around midnight, and stole a key stone and a linked mega stone from a secure research facility. The thief was nearly caught when an alarm was tripped, but they managed to escape from a guard. If you have any information about the whereabouts of this thief, don't hesitate to call the police or Crimestoppers." The broadcast ended and the teen sighed.
"It seems like they're upping security on all facilities…" Bryce thought. "I'll need to be more careful…"
At that moment, his mother walked into the living room.
"Hello Bryce! I was wondering what we should have for dinner…"
"Maybe we could get takeout? You wouldn't have to cook…"
"That sounds like a wonderful idea sweetie!" His mother exclaimed, before replacing her smile with a frown. "Are you going to on your pokemon journey soon?"
Bryce sighed. His mother had been pestering him to go on a journey since he was 13.
"Mum, do you want me to leave?" He asked, which prompted his mum to wave her hands frantically.
"Of course not! It's a wonderful experience to have…I went on a journey when I was younger, and it was the best experience of my life!"
"I'll think about it then…" Bryce pondered. His mum smiled and nodded.
"Why don't you go see your friend?" She asked. Bryce smiled and nodded, and after getting changed out of his pyjamas, he put on his sneakers and left the house, shutting the door behind him.
Littleroot Town was a small place only with a couple of buildings and a few houses. It was usually overshadowed by Oldale Town, which was much bigger.
Bryce walked past the lab where Professor Birch studied Pokemon for a living, and to his friend's house. He knocked on the door, and when there was no answer, he put his ear to the door. When he heard no noise, he sighed and stepped back.
"Guess they're not home…" He mused, before smirking. "That means I can do what I was going to do today!"
Walking away from his friend's house, and after making sure no one was watching, he pulled his hood up and walked away from Littleroot, towards Rustboro.
Later…
Reaching the town, Bryce walked up the stairs and instantly walked into one of the back alleys peppering the otherwise flawless streets. There, he walked by countless dumpsters and back doors until he reached one that wasn't different from the rest. He knocked.
A moment later, the door opened and a man looked at him.
"You got the stuff, Shadow?" The man asked.
"Would I be here if I didn't?" Bryce retorted. The man stared at him for a few seconds, and then roared with laughter.
"I guess you're right about that!" The man said, before calming down. "Alright, hand over the stuff; I'll get the money to you later this week." Bryce pulled a stone out of his pocket and handed it to him. The man stared at it, before saying, "Only the mega stone? Not the key stone?"
"I thought I should keep it, it might come in handy." Bryce replied.
The guy looked at him for a few more seconds, then shrugging, said, "Eh, I'll still get quite a bit with this, it's a rare one, Lopunnite."
After wording a goodbye, the man shut the door, and Bryce came out of the alley, taking off his hood as he did. While walking to the exit, he walked by two ladies speaking to each other. Even though he thought their conversation wouldn't be entertaining, he still stopped in the semblance of tying his shoelaces to listen.
"Did you see the news? Shadow struck again!" The first woman exclaimed.
"Well, if I was them, I would go for something bigger. Currently they're holding a Sinnoh artefact near this city, just on the outskirts, in a secure building." The second person explained.
"Wow! I think I would do the same!"
Bryce had finished 'tying' his shoelaces, and had started to walk to the exit. The women looked at him for a moment, before returning to their conversation. Unbeknown to them, Bryce had a smirk on his face.
He knew what he was doing that night.
