The portal opened to another area as Carlos and Silver stepped out of it. As it disappeared, they found themselves in a meadow.

"Wow. It actually feels kind of good to get out of that forest for once," Carlos remarked.

Silver looked around. "(Where are we, though? Is this the hybrid world?)"

"I guess so," Carlos replied, looking around. For a hybrid world, he didn't feel like there was anything new. He had never left the forest before, but a meadow just lacked the sense of adventure.

His thoughts were interrupted when he stumbled and fell into a very large crater. Luckily, he grabbed onto the ledge in time.

"(Carlos!)" Silver screamed, running over to him and trying to pull him out.

"(I c-can't pull you out,)" Silver said as she kept trying.

Carlos, using his free hand, facepalmed. "You have got to be kidding me."

Silver looked at him confusedly. "What?"

"You do realize that you can use Psychic, right?" Carlos asked as his fingers began to loosen. "(Oh, right!)" Silver remember as she tried to levitate Carlos just as he slipped. However, it only served to slow his fall.

Carlos had closed his eyes to avoid seeing the end of his life when he felt something wrap around him. He looked down and saw that he was being hoisted back out of the hole by some kind of green vine. When he was safely back on the ground, he was hugged by Silver. "(Oh, thank goodness you're okay!)"

"Don't worry, Silver. I'm okay," Carlos said. He then turned to the direction of his savior. "And thank you mis...ter," he faltered upon seeing who it was. It was a tall, buff Caucasian man. He wore a green shirt, a dark green chest plate, dark green shoulder pads, blue jeans that were kind of dusty, and big brown hiker boots. He had a green bandana tied around his neck. Instead of flesh and skin, he had hand-like vines. He was a servine hybrid.

"Uh..." Carlos said nervously as the vine that caught him in the crater let go and retracted back into the hybrid's vine hand. "... thanks?"

The servine hybrid smiled. "No problem. But be wary. There are a few other craters around here. I don't think I've seen you around these parts. Might I ask your names?"

"Well... my name is Carlos. I'm a luxray hybrid," Carlos said.

"(And I'm Silver! A lucario!)" Silver greeted.

Howard looked confused. "What did you say?"

"(I said that my name is Silver.)" Silver repeated again.

"Um... sorry, but I'm a hybrid. I can't understand you," Howard said, still unsure of what Silver was saying.

"What? But I can understand her clearly! She said her name's Silver," Carlos said. Silver nodded in agreement to emphasize his point.

"Well, that's odd. You must be special, because hybrids can't understand pokémon language by regular means," Howard told him.

Carlos turned to Silver. "Uh, since he can't understand you, Silver, maybe I should do the talking."

"(Fine...)" Silver muttered.

The hybrid shook both of their hands. "Well then, it's nice to make your acquaintance, Carlos and Silver. As for me, the name's Howard Falls, but just call me Howard."

"It's nice to meet you, Howard," Carlos said. He then noticed that Howard had a large brown backpack. "How the heck did I miss that?"

"Howard, what's with the large backpack?" Carlos asked. Howard looked at it and took it off. "Oh, this? These are just my wares. You see, I'm a traveling merchant."

Carlos looked at all the different things that Howard had. "Cool! Where do you get these?"

"Actually, I made them myself. Before I came to the hybrid universe, I wanted to be a video game developer. Now, I just make weapons and gear to sell," Howard explained.

"(That's amazing!)" Silver said in awe.

"Would you be interested in buying something?" Howard asked.

Carlos looked at Silver uncertainly. "Do we even have money?"

"(Well, I have 500 pokè,)" Silver said. Carlos felt around his satchel to see if Xerneas and Yveltal had left him some starting money. Sure enough, he felt 1000 poké.

"I've got 1000, so that means that we've got 1500 poké in total," Carlos digressed.

"Sounds good to me," Howard said, setoting his bag down. "Well, take a look and tell me what you like."

Carlos and Silver rummaged through Howard's bag, trying to find something that they could put to use. "Have you found anything useful yet?" Howard asked. "Uh... oh, how about this?" Carlos said, taking a sword in its sheath out of the bag.

Howard examined the sword's condition. "Hmm... this is one of my older models. It's just your average iron sword. It's not exactly the most powerful weapon, but it's cheap and easy for beginners to use. Good choice."

"So how much is it?" Carlos asked.

"(Carlos, I don't think you really need a sword to fight,)" Silver said uncertainly. "(I mean, you're a hybrid, so you can already use moves.)"

"Silver said that I don't need a sword because I've got my moves," Carlos translated for Howard.

"Actually, hybrids' moves only have half the attack power that they should have because their genes aren't accustomed to using elemental attacks," Howard explained.

"So buying the sword would help me in a situation where an enemy has high health or defense, or if I'm at a huge type disadvantage," Carlos told Silver before turning back to Howard. "So, how much for the sword?"

Howard thought for a moment. "How about... 100 poké? I'll even throw in a belt to attach the sheath to your pants for free."

"Wow, that is pretty cheap," Carlos remarked, giving Howard 100 poké and attached the sheath to his pants.

"Would you like me to show you how to use that sword? Free of charge," Howard offered.

"Gee, thanks," Carlos said, moved by the servine hybrid's generosity.

"No problem," Howard said with a smile. "Now, let's work on the basics. First, a simple slash. To do this, just press the A button."

Carlos looked confused. "... the what?"

"Just do a slash," Howard said bluntly. Carlos did as he instructed.

"Good job. Now try a jab. Simultaneously press the A button and flick the circle pad up," Howard explained.

"I don't know what either of those are, but I'll try to jab," Carlos said, thrusting the sword forward.

"Good. Now try an uppercut. To do this, you should press the B button to jump, then press A and up on the circle pad at the same time," Howard said.

"You are not making any sense, but fine," Carlos said, jumping and swinging his sword upward.

"Okay. Finally, you should learn the powerful spin attack. Hold the A button down until you see your sword glow, then release it," Howard explained.

"I don't get it!" Carlos said.

"It's easy! Just hold down the A button!" Howard exclaimed.

"WHAT THE DISTORTION WORLD IS AN A BUTTON!?" Carlos screamed.

Howard facepalmed. "Just focus energy into your sword, and when it glows, spin." Carlos did as Howard instructed and dealt a powerful spin attack.

"Good job! You're a natural!" Howard said happily. "Now, would you like to buy anything, Silver?"

Silver shook her head. "(I prefer to let my fists do the talking.)" Howard understood by the shake of her head and put his backpack back on. "Suit yourself."

"Hey, Howard. Can I ask you something?" Carlos asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Howard asked.

"Well, you see, I was asked by someone to do them a huge favor and find these things called Multirocks. Do you know where I can find them?" Carlos asked.

"Hmm... can't say that I have, but this sounds serious. You should come with me to Relic Town!" Howard said.

"Relic Town?" Carlos asked.

"Yeah. It's got a guild for travelers and exploration teams," Howard said. "If you join one, then you'll have a place to stay during your quest."

"What's an exploration team?" Carlos asked.

"They're groups of pokémon that get rewards for doing missions, such as rescuing lost pokémon or apprehending outlaws," Howard said. "They all take place in mystery dungeons. And before you ask, mystery dungeons are areas filled with treasure and rabid pokémon."

"Ok, got it," Carlos said. "So where is this Relic Town?"

"Follow me," Howard said, leading the two to a nearby town.

Once they arrived, Carlos and Silver saw that the town was very peaceful. There were many shops around town, yet only about 15 residents in the current area.

"Very calming, isn't it?" Howard said. "You know, this town is actually called Relic Town because archaeologists had discovered this town to be a lost civilization that was inherited by-"

"Hey, what's going on over there?" Carlos asked, pointing to a spot where several hybrids and pokémon were crowded around.

"(Let's check it out!)" Silver said as she and Carlos ran over there.

"... darn," Howard said following them.

When the three of them arrived, they saw a bunch of bruised up hybrids being tended to by a bunch of chansey. In the midst of it all stood another hybrid, unscathed, with his arms crossed. He was about three inches taller than Carlos. He had spiky brown hair, blue eyes, slightly paled skin. He wore a white shirt with a blue one underneath, white pants, and white shoes with blue laces. Each of these things had blue fire patterns on them. He also had large black wings with blue membranes on his back.

The hybrid looked around. "Well? Is there any hybrid that I haven't beaten that dares to challenge me?"

Nobody raised their hand.

The hybrid looked around until his eyes set on Howard and Carlos. "Aha! You two haven't challenged me."

Howard stepped back. "No way, I'm just a merchant!"

"I see. Then you will be the one that I defeat next!" the hybrid said, pointing at Carlos.

"The next one you defeat? Oh, please, I'm WAY out of your league!" Carlos shot back, earning many 'ooh's from the crowd.

The hybrid looked angry. "Excuse me!? You clearly don't know who you're dealing with! I am Akkionn! Do not mess with me, or I will mop the floor with you!"

"Pfft!" Carlos scoffed. "Please! You couldn't even mop a floor if you tried." That remark caused everyone else to laugh at Akkionn, who looked like he would blow up at any second. "That's it! This incompetent fool is hereby challenged by one of the strongest hybrid to live!"

"Really? When does he get here?" Carlos asked in an innocent voice, causing the crowd to laugh even harder.

"Me! I'm the strong hybrid!" Akkionn yelled in annoyance.

"... sure, whatever helps you sleep at night," Carlos remarked. At this point, most of the hybrids were practically on the floor, DYING of laughter.

"That's it! You're a dead man!" Akkionn said, holding out his hand, which caused an iron ball in a chain to materialize in it.

Carlos unsheathed his sword. "And you're a dead woman!" Carlos taunted, causing everyone in the town square to go into hysterical fits of laughter.

BOSS #2: Akkionn (Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Dialga/Palkia Battle music)

Akkionn began the fight by slamming the iron ball over Carlos. Carlos held his hands up in an attempt to punch the ball back, but for some reason, it was too strong for him to handle.

He got back up painfully. "This iron ball holds a ground type element, so it hurts twice as much on you," Akkionn explained. He attempted to slam the ball into Carlos again to end the fight, but Carlos jumped over it and ran at him. Akkionn used Flamethrower to drive Carlos away, but Carlos pulled up a Light Screen to deflect it and punched Akkionn with a powerful Spark, knocking him back.

Akkionn was surprised that Spark did so much damage despite his dragon typing, but he merely shrugged it off and blasted out a Dragon Pulse. Carlos grabbed his sword and slashed the pulse, causing it to dissipate.

Akkionn flew at Carlos at a quick speed and slashed him with a Dragon Claw. Carlos countered quickly with Facade.

When he tried another Dragon Claw attack, Carlos parried it with an Iron Tail, knocking him back.

When Akkionn got back up, he was at the peak of his fury. "THAT'S IT!" he screamed, holding out his hands, causing a large ball of fire to materialize.

"BLAST BURN!" he yelled, throwing the three foot projectile at Carlos, creating a large explosion. Akkionn knew it had defeated him, which was good, since he couldn't move for a few seconds.

When the smoke cleared, Carlos was seen with a few scorch marks, but still standing and holding up a Light Screen.

"Seriously!?" Akkionn roared before he fainted due to Carlos dealing him a brutal Double Kick.

Everyone was stunned. Akkionn, the strongest hybrid in the town, had been defeated by a stranger. Everyone then started cheering and clapping for him.

"Luca! Lucario! (Carlos, you did it!)" Silver said happily.

"That was amazing sword work!" Howard complimented.

Carlos walked over to where Akkionn had fallen and helped him up. "Good job out there. You're definitely powerful," Carlos told him.

"Thanks. You're pretty good yourself," Akkionn replied. "You're actually the first hybrid to ever beat me in this town."

"Actually, I just got here. I'm on my way to join the town guild," Carlos told him.

"I see," Akkionn said. "Well, if you're making an exploration team, then can I join it? I think that being near you may help me grow as a fighter and as a hybrid."

"Sure," Carlos replied. "Um... do you know where the guild is?"

"Actually, it's over at the next part of town," Howard said. "Follow me." With the battle over, Carlos, Silver, Howard and Akkionn headed to the guild.

Author's Note: Boom! Another chapter already done! And apparently, Carlos is the only known hybrid that can understand pokémon. That's sure to cause problems in the long run. By the way, if you haven't noticed, I added a few words to this title. If you're wondering why, then it's because I want to make it easy for you guys to find specific story arcs. Anyway see you all on the next chapter! But first, some disclaimers:

Howard (the servine hybrid) belongs to Ckbrothers.

Akkionn (the mega charizard x hybrid) belongs to Akkionn250.
