Prologue:
The world of pokemon, filled with wonderous creatures possessing special powers and unique traits. They are found in all corners of the planet. From the deepest seas, to the upper atmosphere, pokemon are everywhere, the live in volcanos, trenches, uncharted territories, and even come from the outer reaches of space.
Pokemon trainers capture and keep pokemon for various reasons. Some battle them and take part in league challenges and competitive tournaments, others keep them as pets and play with them. Coordinators attend contests and strive to be the best they can be. There is simply no end to what people and pokemon can do.
Pokemon are widely studied by various professors of the many region. Each region having a leading professor to oversee looking after new aspiring trainers and helping them begin their journeys. Each professor also has a special field of study. They gather further data for their research with the help of trainers and a device originally invented by Professor Oak known as the pokedex. It is a device able to record data on pokemon and trainers act as both the testers of the device and field agents to gather data on pokemon.
There are so many stories untold and adventures left to unfold, but our story revolves around a young Trainer born in the Hoenn region to a somewhat broken family. Young Kain Hyoukami was born and raised in Sootopolis City under odd circumstances as his father was a part of Team Aqua. His story would seem to be that of the average trainer, but fate had different things in store for the young boy.
Chapter one: The silver haired youngster.
Sootopolis City was lively as ever, with tourism at an all time high and the peak of summer allowing the beautiful sun to shine throughout the day delivering warm temperatures to the world below. It was a beautiful jewel of a city settled in the crater of an ancient volcano in the middle of the sea. It was only accessable by boat or pokemon due to it's remote location but that never stopped people from always coming and going.
This is the city that Kain called home. He had always lived here and rarely ever left. He spent his childhood here playing with mudkip on the far side of the island by the ocean. It was a hard place to find and access being riddled with sheer cliffs and Kain's mother tried hard to keep him away from the area due to the dangerous nature of the spot. Kain was never one to listen though and simply did whatever he wanted to regaurdless of what he was told.
Mudkip had been his pokemon since he was very young, it was a gift from his father and was very unique. It was an experiment of Team Aqua's which came from the far away nation of Holon. It was a special breed of mudkip known as a delta species. As such it possessed the odd quality of the steel type having been affected by the radiation the Holon Region was known for. It possessed the use of electric type attacks as well which set it apart from a normal mudkip. It was given an ever stone as the mudkip refused to evolve and Kain liked him just the way he was.
The pokemon was an experiment dropped by Team Aqua but Kain's father, Kegan, took it home to his son to keep the pokemon safe from any further harm. It became Kain's closest friend. It had a pokeball but rarely ever chose to enter it. It really did not like the pokeball and was small enough that remaining loose from a pokeball posed no real problem
Kain's mother Melissa was the sole parent who raised Kain, though Kegan used to visit frequently before being sent on his long mission to the Johto Region where he would serve as the Johto Region branch leader for Team Aqua in the pursuit of Lugia and the three birds of legend.
Kain was a unique child and possessed two very odd qualities due to past events. The first was his natural ability to see ghost pokemon who tried to hide and having a close connection with them. This ability was caused from a duskull possessing him from within his mother's womb during pregnancy. The only thing that saved his life which was supposed to have been lost at birth was the radiation of the red orb that his father had come in contact with. The radiation somehow passed to Kain and was the one thing that drove off the duskull and prevented it from stealing his soul once he was born.
The duskull had acted out of revenge not knowing it had the wrong target. A trainer who resembled Kain's mother had abused and abandoned it simply because it was not cute or adorable and left it to itself. Melissa was mistaken for this trainer and the duskull sought to take away the life of her child as revenge for the wrongdoing it's trainer had done.
After later realizing it's mistake, the duskull apologized to Melissa in it's own way and melissa took it in as her own pokemon to show it the love and care that it's trainer refused to do. Kain grew up around this pokemon never knowing the possible fate he may have faced because of it.
Kain's other trait had come to be known as the blessing of Kyogre. It was caused by an event which took place at his special cliffside spot. It is believed that the faint radiation of the red orb within Kain had called forth Kyogre from the depths. Kyogre visited Kain at this spot and displayed to the boy it's glory though Kain really did not know much about the pokemon.
Kyogre did an odd act that was unexpected and filled Kain with it's own energy, an energy though to be the same as the red orb and the same that could cause a primal reversion in Kyogre. This radiation had formed a tattoo like mark on Kain's upper left shoulder which resembled the alpha mark of Kyogre in it's primal form and turned Kain's left eye a vibran scarlet color. His right eye remained as blue as the sea.
This physical abnormality frightened the locals for quite some time as they did not know why Kyogre chose to appear nor what this event meant. Wallace was put in charge of studying the condition with the help of Professor Birch who did so remotely. The condition was a huge mystery and for most a possible sign that dark days may yet again fall upon the Hoenn Region yet again.
Today was a special day for the boy. It was the day after his 13th birthday and that birthday marked his becoming of a man. This was tradition in the Hoenn Region and it was the day that new trainers typically set out on their journeys. The government of the regions required and valued trainers as they were field researchers and collected data important for the world. An even darker truth was that they were made strong to serve in militaries. They were always a huge help in dealing with criminals and disaster relief efforts as well and were an all around good asset to any regions and as such many people were encouraged to become trainers and become strong by challenging the pokemon league of their respective regions.
Kain readied his belongings and called for his mudkip so that he may set out on the ship headed for Slateport City where he could catch a bus to littleroot town. It would be quite the journey for him but he would get a glimpse of just where his travels were to take him in the near future.
The final call for passengers was declared and Kain ran aboard nearly being too late and missing his ship. He was always a bit late it would seem but it was just how he was.
"Ticket please." The ticket man asked Kain while holding out his hand to scan Kain's ticket aboard the ship that was soon to depart. The ticket ran good and clean with a simple beep of the machine and it was handed back to the young silver haired passenger who ran on into the ship to settle into his cabin.
He was to be in room 18 on the second floor of the massive ship. A cozy small cabin that was all he coujld afford for the trip as he was still young and his mother was of a below average income level. His father did help a lot by sending some money from time to time as his father made quite a bit of money. He had to be careful sending though as it was technically ill gotten gains and he did not wish for it to leave a paper trail to locate him.
Kain layed upon his bed and drifted off to sleep. He would nap through part of the long trip as he wanted time to pass even faster. The faster time went, the sooner he could begin his journey. His mudkip lay right beside his head falling asleep as well. Mudkip never really left Kain's side and refused to ever seperate from the boy.
