Hyuu hit the ground grunting. Kyouhei stomped his body, Hyuu's grunts of pain fueling him. Kyouhei screamed at him, the madness flowing through his veins. He landed on the boy, punching him with fury. He hoisted Hyuu into the air, hammer fisting his elbow, breaking his arms. Hyuu screamed, pain exploding through his body. Kyouhei snapped his forearm, the bone sticking out. He punched his upper arm, repetitively. The bone snapped, the flesh bruised. He tore at Hyuu's clothes, teeth grit. Hyuu screamed in pain, tears flowing from his eyes. Kyouhei did not relent, continuing his abuse of his abuser.

He stomped his legs repeatedly, causing Hyuu even more pain. He heard his knee caps snap, jumping up and down on his shins. The boy cried out as the bones cracked and the flesh tore away. He did the same to his thighs, Hyuu's screams increasing in volume. He picked Hyuu up, standing him on broken legs. Hyuu grunted, thinking that Kyouhei regretted his assault, but he was wrong. Elbows and fists rained down, breaking his nose and fracturing his skull. Kyouhei's finger dug into his socket, his right eye exploding from the pressure.

Hyuu screamed, his voice becoming hoarse, his right eye's tears becoming blood. Hyuu's good eye was swollen, and he looked at Kyouhei. This wasn't the same nappy headed boy he took control of in Aspertia. This was a cold hearted monster, forged in the Heathenous flames of Krom Hitoawa. Kyouhei slammed him to the ground, and all Hyuu saw was the boy's sandals.

He managed to speak, his voice hoarse. "Please. Don't kill me." he managed to get out, and Kyouhei growled. "Why should I!?" the boy screamed, and Hyuu sighed, his chest pained from the abuse. Ribs were broken, and he struggled to breath. His nose was broken, and his skull fractured. His left arm was broken in three places, the bone sticking out. His legs were trampled, broken, and the flesh torn from Kyouhei's rampage. He lay in a pool of his own blood, begging for his life.

Hyuu coughed, spitting blood. "Because. I'm your friend." he wheezed. Kyouhei growled. "You'd beat me! You'd starve me! For five years! Five Years! I suffered for you, because you said if I didn't Arceus would bring my father back to life to kill me! You LIED!" he roared. Hyuu held his head down, unable to respond. "I was lucky you didn't rape me! You blamed everything on me! Krom was right! You cross people are all the same!" he screamed. Hyuu felt his consciousness slipping. Kyouhei glowered at the near dead boy.

"You're not even worth killing. You should suffer. And you should live incomplete. You should live knowing that I hold a piece of you with me." he growled out. Hyuu looked up, the boy's words confusing. He went to question Kyouhei when white hot pain made him awake from his near death state. He rolled about, clutching his right shoulder. Blood exploded from the wound, and the raw flesh stung as it grated against the ground. Hyuu couldn't focus, slipping from consciousness. But, the last thing he saw was Kyouhei walking away with his right arm.

Simba smiled, coated in blood. He spun, slicing down, rolling to slice up, spinning to slice from left to right. He jabbed forward, slicing up to free his blade. He jumped, coming down. His tail sliced through flesh, and his claws broke necks. He sliced down, seeing the numbers of their foes thin out. He laughed, the electricity cackling around him.

Krom came down to slice flesh, twirling the blade around his waist to slice more flesh. Saria shot an arrow, killing an incoming Gallade. Krom smiled to his wife, who waved. He laughed, punching a man in the face, breaking his neck. Granitwarf roared, his hammer coated in flesh and blood. The Pokemon enjoyed the battle, a sick sense of pleasure filling them after Simba arrived. Simba laughed, his blade claiming more foes.

The leaders watched the battle, in shock at the carnage. Alder smiled, loving the feel of his foster father battling. Homika laughed. "Reports have just come in. The death toll is massive. Krom has killed around two hundred, Saria the same, Kyouhei the same, and each Pokemon at least twice more. That puts the toll in the thousands. However, the mammoth has killed a thousand on his own at least. The arrival of Vinci's bodyguard made things even better." she said, smiling at the Smeargle, who now had Vraccas standing behind him.

Vraccas wasn't happy. He enjoyed the footage, and enjoyed the Smeargle's company, but the leaders were too much. He already put Crasher Wake into a wall, and Chuck followed not soon after. He grunted, hearing Homika laugh as she received another report. "What is it?" he growled out, and she smiled. "Got footage of Hyuu in." she said, and Drayden grunted. "Well, show us. We already know how this is going to end." he said, and she chuckled.

Kyouhei kicked a man in the chest, and he fell into Handy's lightning blade. He spun and elbowed a woman in the face, and she fell in the path of one of Saria's arrows. Krom sliced a man in the chest, and he fell to the ground. Simba sliced a Tangrowth in half, using Iron Tail to hold a man's arm, spinning to throw him to the side, where Granitwarf's hammer finished him. Rasputin growled as he sliced into the flesh of a Golduck, who stumbled into Jack's blades.

The league gaped at the sight, some leaders even leaving their lunch on the floor. The sight of Hyuu after Kyouhei was finished was appalling to nearly everyone. The sight of his arm being torn off was gruesome, but what confused Homika was his speech. "Why did he speak so intelligently? Isn't Kyouhei supposed to have a little kid's mind?" she asked, and Vraccas grunted.

"He's insane. And even the mad and insane have moments of clarity. And when they do, listen. But from a safe distance." he said, and Homika laughed. "I'll make sure to film his moments of clarity and watch them from afar." she said. Vraccas grunted. Homika hit a note on her bass. "Although, I wouldn't mind seeing Krom in person." she said, smirking at the sight of the muscled boy. Vraccas laughed. "Now I know why Simba like this." he said, smirking.

The battle slowly whittled down, the enemies thinning. Their foes were eliminated in the thousands, and the only casualty on their side was Brycen's Bisharp. He wept for the Pokemon, and Krom placed his hand on the leader's shoulder. "Why don't we give him a proper funeral? A good old Hitoawa funeral?" he asked. The leader agreed, sorrow in his features.

Granitwarf headed to the Poke-Center, allowing himself to be healed. The others were all healed, and Krom had Saria used Heal Pulse. Once everyone was healed, Granitwarf used the many Bisharp corpses to forge a boat, and then he placed a special helmet he forged in the boat. The Pokemon smiled as the dwarf loaded the boat with herbs, spices and food. He also loaded it with wood, then used Flamethrower, then Strength to send it out to sea. The waters around Dragonspiral Tower carried the burning boat, and the Pokemon saluted the fallen Bisharp.

Simba bid them farewell, heading back to Pinwheel village. He raced through the region, answering his phone. "Jada, how you been?" he asked. She chuckled. "Not bad. Carmen got some info for ya." she said, referring to one of her personas. The Zoroark had many personalities, each one named to give it a more real feeling. "Oh? What does she have for me?" she asked. "Mr. Wong slipped up on an address. I followed a delivery boy to the address, and found out something very interesting." she said, and he could feel her smirking through the phone.

Simba frowned. "This can't be good." he said. She laughed. "Colress and Mr. Fuji are in a maximum security laboratory in Viridian Forest. Heavily guarded and armor plated buildings." she said, and Simba nodded. "Anything else?" He asked. "Yep. I know what they're doing in there." she said. Simba growled. "Out with it already. You know I don't like your dodgy dialogue." he said. Jada laughed. "Fine. I see you don't like talking to me." she said. He grunted.

'They're making a Mewtwo. Enhanced by Colress' machines, Fuji's skill in gene splicing, and Gary Oak's money." she said. Simba growled. "Thanks Jada. Give Carmen a hug for me." he said, chuckling as he hung up. He jumped from Castelia city rooftops to Skyarrow Bridge. He raced back home, debating his next move.

The crew rested in Icirrus City for the next few days. They enjoyed the city's street performers, and Brycen's Beartic even taught Mahmut how to use Icicle Crash. Jack trained with Puppy, teaching the Pokemon how to balance on two legs. The little golden puppy was about three feet tall when he rose on his hind legs. The Oozaru and Jack were friendlier than Krom expected, which led him to think they knew each other.

Simba sat down, taking Misty's chair and smiling. The rest of the leader's disliked him, as Vraccas was silent. Simba liked to irk everyone. He sat there, staring at Gary Oak the entire time. The subject of Krom's Samurott came up, and Simba laughed. "I've seen Jack before. I met him while he was a Dewott. He was still on Route Seven. His coloration was starting to change due to age. He had left his home and traveled to Unova, a grueling journey." he said. The others frowned.

"And I mean, come on. At this rate, I can predict his entire team." he said. Homika smirked. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked. Simba smiled. "Who went missing from Ash's ranch? Think small, unevolved, grumpy." he listed, watching their faces contort in confusion. "Okay. That isn't enough? How about this. Skirt chasing otter." he said. Iris smiled. Kurai chuckled. "Well well. Grandpa's Oshawott finally evolved after he disappeared." she smiled.

Simba laughed. "Ash Ketchum's Oshawott and Infernape have stood the test of time to become Krom's Samurott and Infernape. And to top it off, Ash's Infernape has a half Houndour son." he said, switching to the footage of Kyouhei devastating Hyuu. He laughed at the few gym leaders who left their stomach contents on the table. "I found this impressive. Although, why not take both arms?" he asked.

Krom always enjoyed days without the grueling travel h endured. Primarily so he didn't hear the Bastiodon's grumbling. The Bastiodon was busy recovering from a sprained ankle, complaining as Granitwarf flexed the foot.

"Just fuck this damn foot! Cut it the fuck off! I'll fucking live! OH FUCK! Why can't Twiggy's mother fucking leg break or some shit! Oh Fuck you good footed people!" he groaned. The dwarf growled. "Be quiet or I'll forge you a muzzle." he said, yanking the foot and fixing it. The Bastiodon roared in pain. "Holy fucking shitfaced cross bearer! That shit hurt like a bitch! Fuck all of you! I wish you'd all break a leg! Just fuck off! Go forge your damn self a broken foot fuckface!" he screamed at the dwarf. The dwarf rolled his eyes.

Twiggy looked over to the Bastiodon. "Maybe you should chill out. We're heading out tomorrow anyway." he said, drowsy. Castle Face spun. "You little shit! The first time you fucking speak and you shit talk me! You just go 'Suck it the fuck up and move the fuck on!' You little steely shit. You metallic hippy fuck! Why don't you go enjoy free peace, love and broken fucking legs!" he exploded, causing Kooky to laugh.

The Pawniard looked at his reflection, smiling at the sight of the puckered scar. He liked it, wondering if he should ad an X to his name. Kooky Bacchus X Moonblade. Has a nice ring to it. He looked up, seeing a stone on the waterfront next to him. He picked it up, examining it. It was a Fire Stone. He giggled, hiding it in the camper.
