"Ugh, where am I?" I questioned myself.
All I could see was darkness. There was no sound at all. It felt cold and empty. I felt uncomfortable being here.

"H-Hello?... Anyone there!" I yelled, hoping for a response. Yet there were no responses. I looked around hoping for something, but there was nothing.

"Help me...." a voice said in the distance.
I tried running towards it, but I couldn't move. I begin to worry, *am I going to die!?* I thought. Silence filled the area around me. I started hearing voices in my head.

"You're going to die alone. No one cares for you" A sound argument at me.

"What!?" I yelled back.

"There's no point moving forward. You'll never be going to see it again!" It yelled backed.

"What are you talking about!?" My frustration and worries began to fill my voice.

"Hahahaha he's gonna cry. Hahahaha" it laughs at me.

"S-STOP LAUGHING AT ME!!!" I yelled as tears began to flood my face.

A loud sound began to fill my head. It grew louder and louder until I woke up in my room in my bed. I looked around, But nothing seemed to happen. I got up from my bed realizing I won't be able to go back to sleep. I looked at my clock and it reads 12:32 AM. I sigh and opened my door. I open the back door and lay down under a tree. I tried to clear my mind on what happened.

"Am I going to die alone?" I said to myself.

*rustle rustle*

I jumped up from the noise. I tried to calm myself down so that I don't wake up my parents. I looked at the bush that was moving around.

"H-Hello?" I asked sheepishly.

The bush stop moving and a small blue figure came out. It had a white spot on both of its hands and only had 3 fingers on its hand. It also had red glistening eyes, with a black around its eyes that went over to the other eye. And down its muzzle. With 2 long round ears. It also had a white ring around its neck. It stood on its two paws looking at me. It stared at me for a while before it slowly walked up to me. I kept staring at it questioning myself. It sat down a few feet away from me. It started to scoot away from me as I kept staring. I realized this and looked away.

"I-i'm sorry... I d-didn't mean to s-stare at you." I said nervously.

It jumped when I spoke, but calmed down and looked at the sky. It continued to look at the sky. I tried getting its attention, but it ignored me.

"S-So what pokemon are you," I asked trying to not scare it. It looked at me then it replied.

"R-Riolu..." it said with a nervous tone.

"Oh okay." I happily replied. Riolu looked at me with a happy face before going back to looking at the sky. I gave riolu a confused face on why it keeps looking at the sky.

"Why... do you keep looking at the sky?" I asked. Riolu stop and looked at me before it stood up and walked away.

"Wait where are you going?" It ignored me. I decided to go back inside, but before continuing, I looked back to see if riolu was still there. It disappeared into the bush. I walked back inside and decided to come back tomorrow to see if it was there tomorrow. I lay down in bed awaiting the next night. I drifted to sleep thinking about it.

Next day

I woke up feeling very happy awaiting the night. I got from bed before collapsing on the floor.

*thump!* "Oww!"

I looked around and tried to get up, but failed every attempt. I tried touching my legs to see if something is wrong when I noticed that my legs were gone.

"Hehehehe" a voice laughs in the distance.

"W-Who's there!" I yelled back.

"Look he can't even get off the ground. Hahaha! When will you learn that you aren't needed in this world? Nobody cares about you, just kill yourself. It's a lot better than suffering through this!" It yelled and screamed at me.

I shot up from bed in a cold sweat. I had tears rolling down my face. I get off my bed and got dressed. I looked at the time, 11:28 AM.

"Looks like I woke up late again," I said tearfully. I left my room and noticed that my parents aren't home.

"Mom!... Dad!..." there were no responses. I looked around the house screaming for them when I saw a note on the table.

Dear nick

I and your father are out with friends and will be home very late. We made some food for you in the fridge.

Love, mom, and dad

I put the note back I'm the table and grab my lunch from the fridge. I eat my food in silence. Then I open the back door and walked outside. I went to the tree I sat under and thought about last night. Pat the grass that riolu sat on. It felt stiff from riolu sitting on it. I looked up at the blue beautiful sky.

"I hope I get to see it again," I thought to myself. I continue to lay there thinking about riolu.

"It's the only friend I have." I looked around me to see signs of riolu. There was nothing, just normal pokemon. I got up and went inside, I looked at the spot where I was to see anything. Nope, there was nothing. I sigh and went inside. I grab the remote for the TV and watched cartoons. As I was watching TV, I still was thinking about riolu. Why was it so hard for me to get rid of the thought. I started drifting to sleep.

4 hours

I woke up and turned off the TV. I got and got up from the couch. Then I looked at the clock and it reads 3:50 PM I looked around for mom and but still no sign of them. I looked outside but it seems they're no signs of it either. I went outside and went to the tree again and lay down. I didn't care about what was happening now. I went under this tree to calm myself down.

5 minutes later

I was laying there peacefully letting nature calm me down. I heard a loud boom in the distance, I ignored it.

"It's nothing, Nick. Just calm down." I got up because there to much noise. I went inside and lay on my bed trying to think. I slowly dozed off to sleep.
