I was going to write what I planned for the rest of the story, but that was taking too long. Please please PLEASE, if you want to be forever mystified by "Guilty by Design", DO NOT highlight. But I will never reach the end of the story anyhow, so you probably should. It's full of... EMOTION!!!
[SPOIL]This will take too long to explain, but Champ will eventually become one of my made-up Pokemon, a Hitmonarch (he becomes one, doesn't evolve into one... they are ancestors of the Hitmon). He feels "correct" in this form, yet still feels unfulfilled for he is alone (at this point he escapes from Rick, but like I said, explaining what leads up to this will take waaay too long).
Eventually, Champ does officially confront Rick, in that our young hitmon finally realizes how horrible this man has been to him. At the point where the story begins (the yellow eyes watching the house, the door knob is turning),Champ sees Rebecca burst out, carrying something bundled in a towel. Rick follows her, yelling, and then grabs her by the wrist. Being a voyeur to what's going on, Champ sees himself, and he also realizes that Rebecca was not someone to despise but she was very much like himself. In an instant, Champ leaps from his hiding place, runs over to the stunned Rick, and attacks him.
During the scuffle, it seems Champ has the advantage. He is a powerful Pokemon fuming with the rage he had built up all his life. Just as he is about to deliver "the final blow", Rick manages to get a hold on a knife and deeply stabs Champ. Champ knows this is a fatal wound, so he quickly turns around and runs off. He eventually blacks out.
Champ has an unusual dream just then. He is back in his regular Hitmonchan self, and he is viewing a funeral. One of the people turns around... it's Rick. Rick approaches Champ but looks sullen. He kneels down to the Hitmonchan's level and apologizes for all he's done to have ruined Champ's life, and explains how much remorse and guilt he feels, and how he's a worthless excuse for a human being. Rick apologizes to Champ one more time, hugs him, and then walks into an open grave.
It is the next morning. Champ awakens to something poking him. It's a baby Tyrogue, a shiny, and he later finds out it was the Pokemon Rebecca was trying to rescue from her father the night before. She and Champ had stopped history from repeating itself. Of course, Champ is wondering how he survived that stabby wound.
Fae the Meowth, repeating her role as surrogate mother to the Tyrogue, explains to Champ that Rick was the one who found Champ nearly dying, and actually delivered the dying Hitmonarch to the breeding center Rebecca works at (and used as a sanctuary to escape from her father). He never said a word, but they find out later he committed suicide.
I soppose at this point Rebecca comes in, and she and Champ share a nonverbal understanding moment-type thing. Feeling better, he then rises up and decides to live out his days in the wilderness. Before he goes, Devin (the breeding center owner) tell Champ to relax... he catches the Pokemon in a Pokeball, then releases him. This way, no other human can capture Champ, if he were ever found. Champ then takes on last look at the breeding center, Fae, Rebecca, knods at the shiny Tyrogue who he knows will have a much better life than him, and then runs into the woods... never to be seen again...
UNTIL THE SEQUEL!
