Hello readers! It's Du Mar with another chapter for you to read. I spent a bit longer on this one and got the story caught back up to Shinryu's time. Sorry there aren't any Pokémon battles yet, but Hyato gave all his Pokémon away. I promise for battles in the chapters to follow. Oh and for those of you who enjoy obscure lore I changed the font size to 12 and the font to Minion Pro, (and Bank Gothic for the Pokédex). General disclaimer, Gamefreak owns all rights to Pokémon, only the homebrew Pokémon, the characters, and the story belong to me and Veloran. I hope you guys like the chapter and I'm looking forward to your reviews! ~Du Mar

Hi all, this is Veloran Darkfyre and Du Mar. We hope you were all pleased to see the development me and Du Mar have been working on. :)



Chapter Five: Hyato Enters Trema! Beware World!

Hyato arrived in Viridian city, covered in sweat and mud. He leaned against the side of a tree and panted heavily. Summoning up all his might, Hyato continued. He slowly trudged on, accidently cutting his shirt on a tree branch. Hyato was headed for the gym, and he was almost there. Just as he arrived in front of the gym, someone spilled some ketchup on his face. Hyato didn't care though.

The automatic doors to the gym opened. Hyato took a couple of steps in and said "Gaaa-aaary" in a weak voice, then fell down from exhaustion.

Gary Oak, also known as Blue the gym leader of Viridian City, was terrified. At first all he saw was a weak, blood-covered (ketchup), muddy Hyato; Gary feared the worst.

A few moments later Gary's worries were laid to rest when Hyato jumped back up, wiped the ketchup off his face and smiled. "Could I borrow your Pidgeot?" Hyato asked.

Gary laughed in a way that sounded eerily like professor Oak, then he said, "Of course Hyato, but at least wash up first."

Ten minutes later Hyato, now clean and dressed in a blue shirt with brown cargo pants, was flying on Gary's Pidgeot towards Vermillion City. When he arrived, Hyato offered Pidgeot some food, hugged it, and bid it farewell as it flew back alone to Viridian.

It had only been two hours since the sun had rose, Hyato's run from Pallet to Viridian was tiring, but he had all of his energy back now that he was in Vermillion.
Hyato made a bee-line for the port. A trainer he'd met before called out to him from the Pokemon Club, but Hyato hurried on unwilling to spend hours listening to the chairman again.

Wingulls cawed high above the many ships docked in port; Hyato paused to look at them, wondering how they got to Kanto. Hyato dismissed them and moved on quickly through the morning crowd of people arriving in Vermillion. A couple of people were arguing about something, one of them a captain the other a businessman. The businessman got mad and walked off, Hyato used this opportunity to approach the captain. "Good morning Cap'n" said Hyato.

The captain grunted in acknowledgement of Hyato's existence. "Umm, any chance you're heading off to Trema?" Hyato asked.

"That's right, you looking to board?" the captain said.

"Yep, I'll be challenging The Trema league." Hyato said optimistically.

"Well, I'll need three things for you to board, first your TremaDex." Hyato showed the Captain his Pokédex," well it's old, but at least the software's there, secondly I'll need to run your Trainer ID through a computer." The captain led Hyato to a room with a computer. Hyato swiped his Trainer Card.

The computer brought up an Image and some data. The captain looked over the info "Hmm lessee... Hyato... Official Pokédex entries... hmm. ID #00000?" The captain looked back at Hyato, who was waiting patiently, then looked over the data again, "Well," he said after a pause, "it reads as legitimate. Never thought I'd see the day when someone had an ID of all zeroes though." Hyato grinned inwardly as if he had a secret joke that he would never share.

"Alright!" said the captain, "now all I have to see is one of your Pokemon."

Hyato's grin disappeared. "Umm, about that. You can't."

"I have to review your Pokemon to see if you are fit for the Trema region."

"But, I have the Pokédex, and my card is registered for it." Hyato complained.

"Anyone could've bought a black market Dex upgrade, and I've seen a few techy sorts who could hack their cards." The captain said matter-of-factly.

"But I gave away all my Pokémon; I always do when I challenge new leagues." Hyato explained.

"You can't go to Trema without Pokémon, it's too dangerous!" The Captain said.

"I'm a good enough Trainer. I can handle it!" Hyato argued.

"There's no proof of that. I'll need proof that you're a strong trainer. And don't go whippin out yer badges, cause they could be fakes."

Hyato frowned. Hewasa good trainer, but didn't exactly have any proof on him. Hyato thought back to his journey through Kanto, and he remembered something. "So all I need is proof," Hyato said, "like a strong trainer to vouch for me?"

"That'd do," the captain said, "If he's strong."

"Then I'll be back before departure!" Hyato proclaimed, and he left.



Over at the Vermillion City Gym Lieutenant Surge was preparing for, what he hoped, a good day of challenges. Lt. Surge had just defeated a newbie when one of the gym trainers approached him and said: "H-He's back."

"Who's back?" Surge asked.

"H-H-Hya..." the man muttered.

"Speak up!" Surge ordered, "I can't hear you."

"He's only talking about me," Hyato said as he entered the room.

The look on Surge's face was one of absolute terror. He stepped back and instinctively shielded his face, as if from a grenade, when Hyato approached. Hyato smiled and said reassuringly, "Relax; I'm not here for a Pokemon battle."

Surge relaxed a bit, but didn't drop his guard. "Why are you here then?" The confidence of Surge's voice was not matched by his body language.

"I just want you to tell the ship captain that I'm a strong trainer so he'll let me board." Hyato explained.

"Sure, no problem." Surge went with Hyato, but insisted on walking behind him and avoided speaking much.

Two of the gym challengers who saw the event gossiped. "What was that?" one asked the other.

"I heard that Hyato guy fought so fiercely that Surge had war flashbacks." The other said.

"Really, what happened?"

"No one knows, no one will talk about it, they all avoid the question or change the subject."

"Weird, Lt. Surge isn't afraid of anything..."

Back at the ports, Surge explained that Hyato was indeed a powerful trainer, and Hyato was able to board. Hyato was soon settled in for the long voyage.



A few days into the voyage, Hyato sat out on deck, bored with nothing to do. He'd realized shortly after boarding that nearly everyone here was headed to Trema. None of them had VIP passes, but they were all ahead of the rest. There were at least 50 of them, which meant a lot of Pokemon battles to pass the time and toughen up for Trema.
Hyato decided it was time to do something, so he went to the pool deck. A couple of trainers were locked in combat, and people were cheering them on. Hyato stepped past them and went up to the water. Hyato was about ready to jump in when a Trainer approached him. "You, You're Hyato right?" He asked.

"That's me," Hyato said.

"I thought so, I heard you were strong, care for a battle?" the Trainer asked.

Hyato raised his fists. "You sure, you look kinda scrawny." He said.

"You know what I meant," The Trainer said, un-amused.

"Do you have a water Pokémon?" Hyato asked.

"Yes, why?"

"I'll race it in the pool!" Hyato said.

The Trainer raised an eyebrow, "Go Akukame," he said as he sent out a Blastoise. "You sure you want to swim against my Pokémon?"

"Of course!" Hyato said, "There's no way I"D let a silly Blastoise beat ME!"

"Well, when you lose you'll be sorry!" The trainer said.

"AND WHEN I WIN!" Hyato began, "YOU have to run around the ship, THREE TIMES."

"Fine!" said the Trainer.

By now a large crowd had gathered to see what was going on. Most everybody was laughing at the idea of a Trainer racing a Blastoise in a swimming contest; but a lot of people were interested, a sailor even volunteered to referee. Hyato and Akukame poised at the end of the pool, ready to launch. "Rules are three laps end to end. No Pokémon moves or outside interference. Ready…" The swimmers prepared themselves. "SET…" Hyato and Akukame leaned forward, "GO!"

The race was on, Hyato and the Blastoise dived into the water at incredible speed. The ships pool was longer than normal so three laps end to end in this pool were like twelve laps in any standard pool. The racers swam with great speed, neither losing nor gaining any ground. The crowd that had gathered cheered and screamed, louder than a concert crowd.

Hyato and Akukame finished the first lap, and started on the second. Akukame's Trainer was cheering, "FASTER! FASTER!" out of desperation. The two challengers reached the end and turned back for the second half of the second lap. The people in the crowd that weren't cheering their heads off had started placing bets on the race. The referee was commentating through a megaphone and seemed just as excited as everyone else.
The challengers reached the start of the third lap, and gained speed. They had both gone into a state of absolute swimming, cutting through the waves they had caused like there was nothing there. Hyato began to feel tiredness creeping up his arms and legs, so he pushed harder, he could collapse later. When Hyato saw the over end coming up he did a water-somersault and kicked as hard as he could of the pool's wall. The force of the kick left a dent in the wall and propelled him far past Akukame.

When Akukame saw that Hyato had passed him he gained speed. But Hyato was prepared for this and gained speed too. Hyato pushed his body as hard as he could manage, and ran headfirst into the concrete wall.

Cheering erupted from the crowd at an enormous volume. A couple of Trainers helped Hyato out of the pool, and someone brought him an ice pack. "YEAAAAAAH!" Hyato cheered.

The Blastoise Trainer returned his Pokémon and said, "I don't believe it."

"Well, you have to!" Hyato said, "There's only one way a Trainer can rise to the top! He has to FIGHT! Fight alongside his Pokémon and show them how far he's willing to go. AND I AM THAT TRAINER! I WILL RISE ABOVE AND BEYOND MY RIVALS AND TAKE THE TREMA LEAGUE ON!" Hyato's rant caused even more cheering in his crowd, then the losing Trainer ran around the ship three times.



A few days after Hyato's race, Hyato looked out over the sea as he ran through a hundred thoughts a second. There weren't very many other newbie trainers whenever he'd start a new league. He usually spent his time challenging the leagues without company, but he was fine with that. Now that his fifteen minutes of fame were over he was alone again.

This time will be different, so many trainers challenging a new league; it might even be a challenge. Hyato sighed,but not right nowthought. With nothing to do Hyato just sat there. He'd already turned down a couple of challenges, but not many people were up on the top deck at the bow of the ship. Most people were up at the stern, looking out for any sign of Trema.

Hyato looked around. There was only one other person up here. It was a woman with short pale green hair. She sat right near the back, looking out to sea. She was wearing a white dress adorned with little bulbs, like a Bulbasaur. Hyato realized he'd been staring at her for minutes when he decided to do something.

Hyato moved closer and sat at the table next to her. "Beautiful day isn't it?" Hyato said.

"It certainly looks that way," she responded.

"Yep, good day for a nap." Hyato said.

"I suppose." she said.

Hyato leaned back in the chair he sat in and closed his eyes.

After a few moments the woman said, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

Hyato smiled, "Oh you wanted to know my name? Well my name is Hyato, so glad to meet you."

The woman smiled, having realized Hyato's trick, "Yes, well my name is Lydia, the pleasure is mine."

Hyato sat quiet for a few moments. Then he said, "I'm getting a bit famished. Care to join me for lunch?"

"You're certainly not wasting any time." Lydia said, "But what makes you think I'm free for lunch."

"You'd probably be at lunch already if you weren't." Hyato reasoned.

"That's true. Fine, if you want to treat me to lunch you have to prove yourself in battle first." Lydia said.

"No problem." Hyato said jumping up and putting his fists up like a karate fighter.
Lydia laughed, "No, I meant a Pokemon battle."

"Well, I wouldn't win a Pokemon battle, so fight me instead." Hyato said dancing on his feet. He took a few jabs at the air.

"You don't even know how good I am, why do you think you'll lose?" Lydia said, "What if my team is weak."

"Then you wouldn't be headed to Trema." Hyato said.

"Touché." she said, "nothing gets by you. But why won't you fight me? Is your team weak?"

"Haven't got one," he said.

"You haven't got a team? But I heard you the other day yelling about taking down the Trema league."

Hyato stopped bouncing and sat down. "I will take down the Trema League," He said.

"With your fists?" Lydia said.

"Naah, I'll build a team from the local Pokémon." Hyato said, "I only use Pokemon from the region I'm facing."

"But the Trema region has Pokemon from every region. All Pokemon are native there," Lydia explained.

Hyato turned around slowly and stared intently into Lydia's ocean blue eyes. Lydia blushed. "What?" She asked.

"Is that true?" Hyato said.

"Y-yes." Lydia answered, half entrance, half intimidated by Hyato's gaze.

The ship bellowed it's incredibly loud horn, but Hyato's roar of fury drowned it out. There was a moment of silence across the whole ship, and then the captain's voice came on the intercom. "Um... Yes. Anyways, The Trema region has come into view off the port bow."

There was a scramble of hurried steps all across the ship for the port side. Out across the ocean was land, peeking over the horizon. One of Trema's mountains was clearly in view.

Hyato and Lydia had joined the rest of the Trainers on the main deck to look at the view. "Wow!" Hyato exclaimed, "When do we land?"

"Not for about three days," Said a nearby sailor.

"WHAT!" Hyato roared.

"We need to go around the reef; it'll take three days, "the sailor said, "The VIP ship should be landing soon."

Hyato whipped around and looked at Lydia. "Is it true?" he asked, as if whatever she said was absolute.

"Y-Yes." she said, slightly taken aback.

"But it's right THERE!" Hyato roared. "RIGHT THERE, can't you see!" A couple of the passengers had stepped back. "I can't wait THREE DAYS! HE'LL BE ARRIVING SOON.I NEED MY VENGEANCE. I CAN'T LET HIM GET THREE DAYS AHEAD! HOW WILL I CATCH UP?I'M COMING TO DEFEAT YOU! I'LL TEAR THROUGH THE WORLD AND NOTHING WILL STOP ME!" When Hyato finished his raging he climbed up on the rails and promptly jumped off.

"HYATOOOOO" Lydia cried, but it was too late. Everyone nearby, who had gotten much further away when Hyato was screaming, leaned over the rails. There was a hushed moment, and then the faint shape of a man swimming with alarming speed appeared on the ocean's surface.

Lydia wasted no time at all in running towards the control room. She burst in and cried "Hyato just leapt overboard!"

"What?" the captain exclaimed.

"Aren't you going to do something about it?" Lydia cried.

"What would we do?" one sailor said.

"Go after him on water Pokemon?" suggested another.

"No way," said a third, "we'd never find him!"

"Besides, didn't you see him swimming in the pool the other day?" the first said, "I doubt a Gyarados could catch him."

"Quiet everyone!" roared the Captain. "We need to calm down and find a solution."
But Lydia wasn't calm; Lydia had had enough, she turned and left. She'd have to take matters into her own hands. She quickly threw a Pokeball into the air "Go Skydive!" She yelled.

An Archeops emerged from the Ultra ball. It cawed happily to see Lydia. "No time to play Skydive, we need to go!" Lydia climbed on Skydive's back and they took off instantly.

Hyato toiled through the cruel ocean waves, fighting back and gaining ground, or water as it were. Before long Hyato could feel the waters calming down as he came to the reef. Corsola were everywhere, and he was sure he spotted a Remoraid and Mantine. Hyato rested against a stone to catch his breath.

"Hyatooo!"

Hyato looked around for the voice. No one was there. "Must be the salt water," He said.
"Up here Hyato!"
Hyato looked up to see Lydia on an Archeops. He waved energetically. "Hey Lydia! Couldn't wait to get to Trema also?"

"No you idiot! I came to bring you back to the ship!" She said swooping down and hovering nearby. "Get on."

"I can't," Hyato said, "I've got to get to the Trema region sooner rather than later." Hyato dove back into the water and kept swimming through the shallow reef.

"Well I can't just sit idly by and let you break customs laws!" Lydia said, following Hyato by air.

"Well…then… just… come… with… me." Hyato said between strokes.

"Fine, I'll come," Lydia said, "Just let me help you."

"You'll… take…me…back…to…" Hyato started.

"No I won't!" Lydia exclaimed, "Here! Go Sabre!" Lydia tossed a luxury ball into the air, and in a flash of red light a Kabutops appeared. "Sabre, that's Hyato," Lydia explained,

"Take him to shore."

"Kabu!" Sabre said in acknowledgement.

"Cool!" Hyato said as he climbed on Kabutops, "I've never seen a Kabutops in person!" Kabutops carried Hyato through the waves while Archeops brought Lydia through the sky. They arrived very quickly at the shore.

"Finally!" Hyato said, "I've come to the Trema region!" Hyato started jumping around and cheering. Lydia laughed quietly to herself.

"Oh yeah!" Hyato said and turned to Lydia, "Thanks Lydia! No one has ever helped me do something crazy before." Hyato walked up and took Lydia's hand. "Lydia…" he said.

"Y-yes?" Lydia asked, her face turning red.

"Will you," Hyato said, "Will you… be my friend?"

"Huh?"

"Well, I've never really had a friend before, so I think it'd be fun to have a friend to adventure with."

"Sure," Lydia said, "Of course I'll be your friend."

"Sweet!" Hyato said and immediately started looking around.
Lydia turned away, hiding her blushing face. What was it? Why did she feel this way? Hyato was a goof most of the time, but something about him radiated intelligence. And when he was serious, Lydia couldn't control the pace of her heart.

Hyato hadn't noticed Lydia's fretting; he was too busy looking through the nearby foliage for signs of life. It wasn't long before Hyato heard something moving. "I'm coming for you…" Hyato said quietly. Hyato crawled into the bushes and peered through. On the other side he could barely see what look to be a Pokémon.

"You're mine!" Hyato said, leaping out of the bush.

Lydia was just getting off the phone with her friend on the ship, explaining everything, when she heard Hyato scream. Hyato came running from the bushes with something purple attached to his head. "It's on me! It's on me! Help!" He called as he ran about blindly.

"Calm down!" Lydia said. "Just grab it!"

"But it's FIRE!" Hyato roared. "It's FIRE and its ON MY FACE!"

Hyato tripped over a rock, allowing Lydia to get a better look. Whatever Pokémon had attached itself to Hyato's face was just about as big as a face, but seemed to be made of purple flame. "Does it hurt?" Lydia asked.

Hyato stopped for a moment. "Well, actually no." He said. Lydia smacked her forehead.
Hyato reached up and grabbed the Pokémon. He held it out in front of him. It had eyes and a mouth, but its body wasn't flame. Its body was an amorphous watery body with purple flames coming off of it. It seemed pleased to see Hyato.

"Aww," Lydia said, "It likes you!"

Hyato turned his head, the Pokémon did the same. Hyato set the Pokémon on the ground and pulled out his Pokédex. "Alright, let's find out what you are!" Hyato pointed the Pokédex at the Pokémon.

*BZZRT* {POKéMON NOT FOUND}

"What do you mean 'Pokémon not found'!" Hyato cried.

"Did you install the new chip?" Lydia asked.

"Yes," Hyato said, "Professor Oak did it himself."

"Did you remember to re-waterproof it?"

A painful look of defeat crossed Hyato's face. "I… Forgot." Hyato stood quietly for a moment, then, "AAAAAARGH! I can't believe I didn't waterproof it!" Hyato started stomping back and forth screaming in anger. The little fiery Pokémon copied him, letting out a cute little hissing noise.

Lydia pointed her Pokédex at the Pokémon.

*Ping* {Pokédex entry: Djinnit Type: Fire-Water Djinnit are a newly discovered species of the Trema region. They live deep underground or near natural hot springs. They are usually cautious but have been known to be overly friendly to new things.}

Hyato stopped raging to listen to the Pokédex. When the evaluation was over Hyato turned to the Pokémon. "Well, well," He said, "You Djinnit. I will catch you!" Hyato got out a premier ball from his bag. The Djinnit looked curiously at Hyato.

"Pokéball go!" Hyato called as he threw the premier ball at Djinnit. The ball fell to the ground, and then after shaking a few times, Djinnit broke out. "Nooo," Hyato cried, "It was so close too!"

Djinnit seemed to understand Hyato's reaction. "Alright, this time you're mine!" Hyato said and tossed another premier ball. As soon as Djinnit was in the ball, Hyato jumped on it and squeezed tightly.

"That's not going to work!" Lydia said. The white premier ball shook around in Hyato's arms, then, with a small ding, Djinnit was captured. "It really did work!" Lydia said, amazed.

"YES!" Hyato cheered. He sent the Pokéball into the air. Djinnit came out in a flash of yellow light. "Alright Djinnit, it's time for a name." Hyato said. Djinnit made a noise in agreement. "How about 'sparky'," Hyato said. Djinnit shook his body 'no', "Okay, 'Burnade'? No? 'Infernaw'? No? Okay, what about… 'Etherea'?" Djinnit cried happily at this name. "You like it? Etherea it is!"

"Well, now that that's over with we go, off to find SHINRYU! And when I find him I WILL SMASH HIM TO PIECES! AH-HAHAHAHAHA!" Hyato ranted.

"Well that's great and all, Hyato," Lydia said, "But we're miles from the port town, and Skydive is tired."

"So…" Hyato began.

"We walk." Lydia stated.

"Onwards!" Hyato said, unstoppably, "To VICTORY!"

To be continued…
