## Summary

A Cheerful and Happy boy from the Alola region. At the age of 10, he met his close friend, Neo, and the two took the island challenge together. Throughout the challenge, their bond grew more and more to the point where they would consider each other brothers. Along the way, they meet Valiona, a cheerful and hyper girl, and her older brother, Richter who was a calm and level headed trainer that completed his challenge. As Haruko was about to finish his island challenge, one final task remained. A battle for the champion's seat. the only other person who was at that point, was Neo. So the two had a battle to determine who became the champion. Haruko lost the battle, and watched as Neo was crowned Champion. Haruko was pleased to see Neo becoming champion, but as he watched, his own desire to surpass him, kept on manifesting.

Sometime later, Haruko and Neo meet up once more as they go off to the Kalos Region. Valiona and Richter tagged along. After a plane ride to Kalos, they meet with the professor. The professor for the Kalos region, is the successor to the previous one, Sycamore. The group were then given a choice of pokemon, The Grass type Chespin, The fire type, Fennekin and the Water Type, Froakie. They were then told bout the gyms. Haruko and Neo both said that they'll take the challenge and win, just as they said that, the two glared at eachother in a comical way as lighting was between the two. Shortly, they stop glaring and then head out. Haruko and Neo go town to town, and they battle each other a lot to improve. Haruko wanted to see his best friend succeed, but he also wanted to surpass him. Eventually, Haruko is forced to watch Neo take on the Kalos champion and watched him win.

Next up in the Sinnoh Arc, Haruko met Reijiro, a Curious and Enigmatic Scientist when in reality, is Haruko's older brother, however Haruko does not know of this. The two brothers get into a quarrel. After a small battle, the two become friends. The Gang learns from Reijiro of the Creation trio, namely Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. This piqued his interest, as well as Richter's interest in myths. The gang goes off to meet the Sinnoh Champ, as well as being Haruko's aunt on his mother's side, Cynthia who was also investigating the myths. Right away, Cynthia recognized Haruko as her nephew and was happy to see that he was interested to study mythology. Sometime later after defeating the 8 gyms, Richter went behind the gang's back and stole a Red chain. Haruko watched as Richter tore open a gateway for Dialga to appear. With Cynthia's help, The gang took Dialga down, It cemented Haruko's feelings towards Richter. That didnt stop Haruko from watching Neo defeat Cynthia in battle, and taking the title of Sinnoh Champ. After seeing Cynthia lose, Haruko was told by Cynthia to never give up on Richter, but at the same time that he must be held accountable for his crimes.

Next up in the Hoenn Arc, The Gang travel to Hoenn to continue their journey. Along the way they meet a new trainer named Kazuma who was more into pokemon contests than gyms. During one of the gym battles, Haruko meets a pair of gym leaders, Silas and Kaiden and Neo and Haruko proceed to fight them. Upon beating them, The Leaders chose to leave the gym in their Dad's hands and chose to travel with the gang. sometime later after getting the eight badges, they encounter Richter once more who is trying to awaken Kyogre by working alongside Team Aqua. The Gang chose to help Team Magma in stopping Team Aqua and Richter. Haruko learned why Richter was doing this and was shocked to learn that Richter wanted control over the world. He wanted to create the ultimate pokemon and use it's power to make an army and rule the world. After Haruko and Neo won against the champion, the group moved onto the next region.

In the Johto Arc, The gang meet a tough as nails girl named Heza who has a passion for steel types and Haruko sees that Neo falls for her. The two then became a couple. Eventually sometime later, they break up, yet Heza and Neo remain friends, and Heza remains as a traveling companion. After Neo defeated the Johto Champion, The group moved onto the next region.

In Kanto, Neo eventually met Arisa and fell for her since she took advantage of his weakness and depression. Haruko immediately got red flags from her and tried to suggest Neo to break up with her. That caused Neo to claim Haruko as 'Someone who never cared' and Neo abandoned Haruko and his friends and joined Arisa. For some time, they went their separate paths but when Haruko caught wind of Arisa's plan to sacrifice Neo's life to remain eternally young and beautiful, Haruko and his friends went to rescue him. To Haruko's surprise, they had an unexpected ally. They met with Richter once more and Richter was told what happened, making Richter join the group once more. They head over to the Pokemon Tower and there they see a sealed door which can only be opened by blood. Haruko sliced his arm and let the blood drip down on the seal, breaking it. The gang entered a chamber and saw Neo with a group of 5 other people Arisa charmed into fighting for her. They too were to be sacrificed. After taking them out, and saving Neo, Arisa fled the area and with having his best friend back, Haruko was now mourning the loss of Valiona, his other close friend and his now former Girlfriend. Heza remarked that Valiona never really loved Haruko and asked him why she was fawning over Neo still. She then called him a cuck and he stormed off, abandoning his friends.

That evening, in a forest, he saw a little girl crying and begging for help to get her home. Haruko took it upon himself to help her but it turned out to be a ruse. A Wild Hypno appeared and hypnotized Haruko into joining it's cult. This was a real trial of life or death for him. He was eventually woken up, only to see he was in a cage. After screaming for help, he was KO'd by the Hypno and taken to an altar where he was to be sacrificed. Just as Neo and the others arrived to save him, it was too late. Haruko shriveled up into a lifeless husk with empty eye sockets and a gaping mouth as his soul was now trapped in an orb Hypno conjured. After a long and grueling fight against Hypno, The group managed to shatter the orb, freeing Haruko's soul, allowing it to return to his body. As it returned, he was returning to the way he was as if he was never ripped out. With opening his eyes, he noticed what was going on and quickly realized what was going on. With Neo tossing Salamence's pokeball over to Haruko, Haruko joined the fray and with anger, is determined to destroy Hypno.

After destroying it, Haruko knew what was next. The confrontation that was building up. The final battle against Richter.
