Chapter 1: Home?

[Edit] I noticed a few grammatical errors as I went over this one too and decided to fix them! Just the grammar errors. And I cried when I reread the Ending to this chapter.

Hey I'm back! And I have NO idea what you're thinking (unless it's about food). But either way here is another Chapter. Man, I went back and read the last chapter (prologue) and I started crying (again), Fudgen sad music! Sorry I took so long! I'm not a fast writer by any means. I tried to make this chapter long for you guys so I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I don't in any way own Pokémon, GameFreek dose, not me, just my OCs.

Now on with the story!

Chapter 1: Home?

I awoke with a start and looked around the room I was in, my room. It was a simple room, just a window, a bed that I was laying in, a large dresser drawer, a closet that had sliding mirrors for doors, and a door leading into a hallway. The bed I was laying in had a black and gray striped top along with a pillow to match it. The widow had a blue curtain blocking the view of the night sky.

My thoughts drifted off to that dream I had, 'There is no way that could have been a dream.' I thought. 'It was just too vivid.'

I got out of the bed and walked over to the closet to look at myself in the mirror door. I was about 6'7''. I had honey brown hair that looked kind of messy with hair that just stood up in the back. I had stormy blue eyes that seemed to change into minty green color. I was only wearing some plain black boxers exposing my muscular body from years of labor.

I searched my memories and found not only my past and that I was 12 years old, but also the dream and the Shinx named Lightning. My face felt wet so I put my hand on it. 'I'm crying?' I shook my head and decide to go back to bed.

~Dream~

I sat on the edge of a cliff that seemed to drop into Oblivion. There was a vast forest behind me that seemed to go on forever. The sky was purple for some strange reason. I let my legs swing off the edge of the cliff as I looked about.

"You really think that you could get away from me..." A voice that emanated from abyss rang out with an unearthly sound. "I will turn this world into one of darkness and drag you into the abyss that is my prison..."

"Get away from you?" I said to the abyss, "I don't even know you. Or that I'm even trying to get away from you."

"I am the being that haunts your Nightmares and gives them life. And I will not let you get away from me."

"Nightmares huh? That sounds quite familiar..."

"You... Get... ay..." its voice started to fade as did the dream...

~Location: My Room~

"STEVEN! GET UP YOU MISRABLE EXCUSE FOR A SON!"

I groaned as I woke up upon hearing my step mother's loud voice. My birth mother had died giving birth to me, and a year later my dad was remarried to this jerk of a woman who made my life a horrible. And if that wasn't enough, she came with two sadistic twin siblings that made it their life goal to help their mom in ruining my life further. My "mom's" maiden name was Rachel Hoofsworthy, 'yea, veryweird name' with her twins Matt and Brianna who I liked to call "Mr. and Mrs. Horse Crap". They were both three years older then me.

My dad was a no good drunkard who beat me every night I came close to him, calling me a mistake. His name was Brat M. Hill making me Steven J. Hill. I've actually been beat up, injured, and mentally abused so much that I don't even feel it anymore, I don't even cry. So any ways back to what's happening.

"I'm up mom." I said in a monotone voice, "I'll go make breakfast."

"You'd better or I'm going to have to beat you again!" She yelled from across the hall, "And don't you dare burn the bacon!"

"Okay mother." I said, still in a monotone voice. I wonder how my family can be such idiots with all the ways the devise to torture me.

I sighed as I got up. 'Why couldn't that dream have been real... or, maybe it is... hopefully it is. I guess I have reason to keep going than.' I smiled at that thought. I mentally prepared myself for the day and however long I had to endure my torturous life.

I got up and went over to the dresser drawer to grab some clothes. I put on some black jeans and a black and gray splotched T-shirt. I then put on black Adidas jacket with three golden stripes going down the arms. To finish the look I put on some black and gray striped shoes. And I finally went downstairs to cook breakfast for the family.

~Time Skip~ 1 hour

"Steven what took you so long with breakfast?!" 'Mom' yelled. Seriously? How she still has a voice, I'll never know.

We were in the kitchen, well, I was. It was a simple square room with a white tiled floor. It had a Stove top right above the oven and a fridge for the many ingredients that I use. It also had a microwave oven and a toaster. And finally there was the dishwasher in the corner and several cabinets filled with things ranging from utensils to canned and bagged foods. Yup, pretty simple.

The room that my mother was in was the dining room. All it had was a square table with for chairs around it. And its ground was just like the kitchen, a white tiled floor.

"Please forgive my tardiness Malady." I replied in my best butler-like voice.

"Fine. Your forgiven now serve the damn breakfast." She said in a dismissive voice, "Children! Breakfast!"

'Mom' had a face like a fat women, the three chins proved that statement. She had long, jet black hair that went down to her butt, but that only increased her ugliness (in my opinion). She also had brown eyes. She was wearing an aqua blue XX Large shirt to fit her bulbous belly. And some weird skirt thingy.

"Coming mom!" Came the sickly sweet voices of my elder step-sister and step-brother.

Into the dining room came a thin brunette and a bulky boy. The girl was a, as I said, a brunette whose hair ran down to her shoulders. Her eyes were brown just like her brother and mother. Unlike her fat mother, she was skinny. She was wearing a strapless, blue dress with floral designs on it and she had blue flats to complete the look. The bulky boy next to her was her brother who had brown, strait hair that suited a gentleman, not him. He wore a black T-shirt with the HIM logo on it and some simple black jeans.

"Good morning my darlings." My 'mothers' said in a sweet voice. "Come sit down and eat with me."

"Okay Mommy!" The twins said, not wanting to make there mother angry.

I came into the dining room with three plates, two in my hands and one on my head, and laid them out in front of them. The plates each contained two bacon strips (three for my 'mother'), a piece of buttered toast, two pancakes smothered in butter and covered in my homemade buttermilk syrup, and a fork. I then left and came back with three cups of milk in the same positions as the plates. As soon as everything was in front of them I bowed land left to get my own food as they stuffed their faces.

I ate in the kitchen since the last seat was only for my so called father who rarely shows up at the house now a days. He's usually on business trips to keep the family rich. I sighed as I thought of how fucked up my family was. Right now they were fine, but that was only because one, it was morning, and two, I fed them breakfast. Later it would only get worse.

I quickly finished my food and went to clean up the mess I had made. When I had finished I went back into the dinning room to clean up their mess they had left behind, because they always left after they were done eating. And sure enough they were gone and a huge sticky mess was left in there place. I sighed as I begun to clean the mess up. Once I finished I went into the yard to play with our dog, Angel.

The yard consisted of a large lawn and a back porch. The back of the yard ended at a metal wire fence that was to high to climb over. On either side of the yard were wooden fences that stood at '7 tall. On the left side of the yard you could pass to and from the front and back yards around the corner of the house.

I heard a growl to my right as a large black dog came around the corner of the house revealing its sharp canines. The dog actually looked a lot like the Mightyena Pokémon except the dog was entirely black with no other colors on it.

"Do I smell funny Angel?" I asked the black dog knowing that she only growls at me when I smell odd. Yes that is indeed Angel. Her full name is Dark Angel. And yes it is a girl.

The dog's scrunched up face relaxed as she heard my voice. She trotted up to me as I crouched to get eye level with her. She started to sniff me and looked up at me questionably.

"So I do smell funny." I said as a matter of factually. "Well I can tell you I did not play with any other animals."

She nodded to say she understood. Angel was probably the smartest and most human like-dog you'll ever meet. In a lot of ways she acted as if she were my mother and not my step-mother. She just had this way of making me feel better. She had come into the family when I was four as newborn pup. It was like my mother had sent her from heaven to watch over me.

"Alright then." I said thinking of something. "I'm going to ask you yes or no questions to see what I smell like, if your answer is yes and no then lick me, okay?"

She nodded.

"Alright. Do I smell like an animal?"

She licked my hand.

"Hmm. Do I smell like an animal and a human mixed together?"

She nodded.

"Okay. Is that why you growled at me?"

She shook her head.

"Hmm, maybe that's it." I mumbled as I remembered the part of dream where I killed Darkrai. 'I'd better ask just in case.' "Do I smell like death?"

She nodded.

"I-I can't believe it..." I said in barely a whisper. "So it wasn't a dream after all..."

She looked at me worriedly.

"Sorry Angel. Just finally understanding something." I reassured.

She still looked worried.

I sighed , sat down, and told her about the dream and how I became a Pokémon with had no memory of my past. And how I slowly began to remember things. She just sat there listening quietly as I told her about the dream. I finished telling her how I killed Darkrai and how I was taken away from Lightning. As soon as I finished I noticed I was crying and my tears were soaking my jacket and T-shirt.

She came over and started to lick the tears from my face too show she cared. I lost control and hugged as I cried uncontrollably into her soft, black fur. We sat there for a good ten minutes as I cried into her fur. Eventually though, my tears stopped.

"Thank you Angel." I said as I continued to hug her. "I couldn't ask for a better mom."

Finally we separated and we got up to go play around the yard.

~Time Skip~ 3 hours

I walked into the living room after taking a long and well deserved shower to wash out the smell of sweat from playing with Angel. The living room had a large window that had an arc for a top, and had blue curtains covering most of the square part of the window. The floor was made of a very soft frilly carpet. There were two leather couches in the room. The large one that could fit up to four people was under the window, While the large love seat that could fit up to three people if they squeezed. And finally there was the fire place that was in the wall right of the window for warming up the house in the cold days of the winter, but seeing as it was summer it would not be needed for a long while.

'I feel a disturbance in the force!' I thought as felt the presence of someone behind me about hit me. I quickly moved my head to the side as a fist came sailing right by it. Acting on instinct, I grabbed the persons arm and threw them over my head and into the couch. Before I could see who it was I once again dodged to the side, using my whole body this time, as I turned to the side and grabbed the other persons fist and twisted til they fell over onto the ground in pain.

I finally got a look at who it was and wasn't even surprised to see the twins. Brianna was the one I threw on the couch while the one on the ground was Matt.

"What the crap." groaned Matt

"Where the hell did you learn to do that Steven?" came the pissed off voice of Brianna as she got off the couch. "You've never been able to do this to us before."

"Yeah. That really hurt." Matt said as he got up off the ground.

I simply smiled and said, "I'm simply one heck of a butler." and walked off to my room smiling at my quote of one of my favorite animes.

'I now know without a doubt that that was no dream.' It all made since now. Last night when I fell asleep I was sent into the future of the Pokémon world where time was stopped. I then met Grovyle and we became friends. Eventually we arrived at the Passage of Time of time where we got separated and I lost my memories of my past and got turned into the Pokémon Riolu. That's where I met... Lightning.

I shook my head not wanting to cry right now. I then thought back to where I had taken care of the Twins only moments ago. So I had kept all of my knowledge of fighting from when I went to the Pokémon world.

I then arrived in my room and sat on the bed and thought, 'Looks like my life is going to be a lot easier.' I smiled and dowsed off thinking that.

~Time Skip~ 2 years

It was winter brake and it was snowing outside. It was the day right before New Years Eve and people were all in cheerful moods waiting in anticipation for tomorrow night. I was sitting in my room on my bed watching the snow fall outside my window with Angels head on my lap. While every one was cheerful and asleep in there beds I was up. Tears were in my eyes as I stared out the window. I turned to look at the lifeless body of my dog who had passed away just moments before from a heart attack and old age.

I had to be quiet so as to not wake the sleeping people who were in my house. I knew they didn't care squat about Angel and would probably just shoot her to make a mess that I'd have to clean up if they knew she was dead.

I carried her body bridal style as I went outside into the forest with a shovel and a axe strapped to my back. I went on to a secluded spot on a hill far out in the woods. I laid her body I the shade of a tree as I went to work digging her grave.

I slowly lowered her body into the hole I made and gently placed her in it. I then started to cover her body with the dirt I had dug out. I then chopped up one of the fallen trees until I had a large wooden slab. I then pulled out my pocket knife and carved some words onto it.

I then placed at the back of her grave. It read:

Dark Angel

Here lies my one and only friend in this world. She will forever remain in my heart as my one and only mom. Even though we were not biologically related I will still see her as such. Rest in peace mom.

2002-2013

I sat in front of her grave as snow fell on me and the grave. I sat there remembering her last moments.

~Flashback~

I sat on my bed with Angel as we stared outside the window. She licked my face and I giggled as I looked at her. She looked into my eyes as she said her first and last words that I'll never forget.

"Thank you for a great life Steven. I'll never forget the kindness you showed me. Now I return to your true mother in heaven."

That was all she said as she spasmed before falling dead on my lap.

"And I'll never forget you. Mother."

~End of Flashback~

I got up and walked home leaving her grave. I got into bed and cried quietly as I fell into a deep sleep of no dreams.

I hopped you liked the new chapter. And RIP Angel... Since I made Angel represent my dog that had passed away on the same day. Well either way Don't forget to Review! So without further ado. Nyah!
