The Hybrids journey:

Storm by day and storm by night

Disclaimer: Right, I do not own pokémon in anyway, but if I did, I would be rich and this would probably be a film of some sort ^^

Author's notes: O.K, I got some reviews, I'd like to thank everyone that out in a review! TP, Xaero and whoever Hannah is, and any others that I haven't seen yet ^^ So, on with chapter 2!

Chapter 2: The beginning of the end...

So, that's it, we're leaving... My mum is not overly the talking type... Well, I've packed the essential, pokéballs, my loved pokémon, wash kit, clothes to change in to... Oh yes. At the moment, I'm wearing a black baggy T-shirt over some black jeans which are to big for me... I'm now standing in the corridor, staring stupidly at my mum, who has her back turned to me again... This time, she knows I'm here, she turn's around to face me, she looks worried, actually, her eyes look red, she's been crying... I've never adopted my mum's sentimental temperament... No, my mum says that I'm ruthless like my father... But what can I know, I've never known him... She also says that I have his hands... Well thanks dad for giving me your real big hands! They come in real useful... Not! I'm so clumsy with them, it makes stealing a whole lot harder... You're more seen... My mum looks at me straight on, and says, in a quiet voice, "I've got to explain something, if you won't interrupt!" "To right you've got to explain, something ain't right here!" I thought to myself. She sighed, and then said, in a mysterious tone of voice, "Listen, when I was really young, people use to tell stories, most of them, being myth's and legends passed along time... There was one particular one, that has always stuck in my mind...

*Flashback*

"We were all siting around a campfire, most of the poor didn't have houses back then, and I was no exception, to pass the time, we either battled and trained pokémon, we could try and get a job, though most people knew it was useless... We could tell stories... I was never in to battling pokémon, not like your father, so I listened to the old teller, talking about all the stories imaginable... The conscious would tell us that it wasn't real, just stories to pass the time, but one day, he promised up a real story, of what happen thousands of years before, there was one an emperor, named Apocalypse, he was an almighty ruler! And governed all the lands known to man today... He was also very highly respected, but only by the rich, the kingdom was sort of divided, rich people, poor people... But one day, a hope came, the ray of light for the peasants, a man came, he had pinkish fur, and a large pinkish tail, he resembled a legendary pokémon called Mew, he was accompanied by nine others, all of them resembled a pokémon in particular... They were called the resistance, and gathered as many men and pokémon possible, to face the emperor... After a long war, the resistance won, and Apocolypse was killed, much to the other nobles disgust... After, the ten original resistance chose a young man, pure of heart, to lead his kingdom... After about ten years, the ten human/pokémon were shunned aside, and were also killed... People say that their spirit lies in a special pendant, each spirit has a pendant of it's own... Apocalypse has never forgiven them, and the pendants are a legend, but some people rumour that others have found them... But the spirit of the first emperor has always killed the pendant bearers... I've believed this story, but now I know it's really true!"

*End flashback*

"... Mum!" I said, reaching for her, her eyes were fogging up, and she was shaking... I pushed her gently against the wall, and looked at her face, her eyes didn't meet mine... My brother, just happened to stumble in, he told me to head downstairs to find the train tickets... "This is weird, knowing that I'll probably never see my house, my friends, my street, the corner... What if... Shouldn't be thinking that... Not the right way to go" I shook my head, grabbed the tickets and heard my brother shouting that I should stay downstairs, seeing as they were about to go down them... I looked around, everything was as neat as anything, so I decided not to let anything go to waste, when I took some sweets and some gum out of the cupboard, I was surprised mum hadn't taken them, or my bro... But hey, that means more for me! I stuffed them quickly in my bag, and just in time, my mum was holding the banister in one hand, a hankie in the other, and my bro was forcing her down the stairs gently... "Weird things, parents..." Then my mum finnaly got a grip on herself, she took the tickets out of my hand, without looking at me, and beckoned the two of us outside... People were running towards the train station, this was all to weird for my liking...

We hurried towards the blackish building, lot's of noises... Before we left the house, I forgot to tell you I am now wearing a very very long cloak, which cover's me completely, it even has a hood, at least people won't panic... Much... Like I was saying, the noises were unbearable, coming from screaming babies, to fighting kids, to shouting parents, to train noises. It was also very hot, and being in a cloak never helped anything... We sort of made our ways to a bench, where I saw another girl, the remarkable thing is that, she had a blue tail with a large pearl on the end of it! I was about to approach her, when my mum grabbed my shoulder, and dragged me towards the train that had arrived, I saw the tailed girl enter it to... As soon as we were in, we were looking for spaces... Unluckily, none... And to make matters worse, two people were shouting at each over. They were both cloaked, but then again, so was most of the people on this train... I looked at them curiously, so did my mum and my bro., and that strange girl, who is now hiding her tail... We were standing up, so were most of the people... It doesn't bother me much... So, as I was saying, I was staring at these two peolpe having a go at each over. One of them, the male, had barged in to the female, I could tell that the way it was a feminine voice shouting at somebody who was obviously trying to shrug her off... And then the fighting started, the lady pushed the man, who tumbled in to a crowd of people, the lady had revealed a brownish hand, covered in fur! People were shrieking, I looked at my mum, who was very pale, and people then started shunning both of the fighters away, forcing them off the train... I stared at my mum, my blackened face was only seen by her, she whispered to me, "Go Kat, hopefully, I will see you again, but one of those people were something like you, you should go check them out, be careful not to attract attention to you!" She was crying, the tears slid down her cheeks, and all I did was nodded, probably the last time I would see my mum, and all I did was nod...

So, I made my way to the back of the train, were the two others were, and gently let myself fall on to the tracks, (( these are old trains, were they have an opening in the end... You know... )) Seeing the pair about 300m further on, I brushed myself down professionally, and trudged towards the two figures lying on the ground... They weren't talking to each over either... One was still staring at her hands, while the other one had crossed his arms... I approached with caution, the train had now totally disappeared in to the horizon... As I was about 30m from them, they got up, and looked at me coming, their hoods still up... After slowing to a stop, I was pretty unsure about how to greet them... I sorta burbled something, and the boy instantly took the place as speaker, "Com'on, speak up! Can't hear ye!" He said, picking up his back pack, and flinging it other his shoulders, the girl tutted, "Well, now what! I don't know why you threw yourself off that train erm..." She said, hesitating about my name, "Kat, call me Kat!" I said quickly, rather taken back... "I'm Ana!" She said, picking up her shoulder bag, holding it tightly... The boy waited an instant, looking up at the sky, "I'm Xaero!" He said, rather definite, he continued, "and if we don't get of this track, then we're all pancakes!" He then walked to the side off the track, near a forest, jumped down a ditch separating the two, and then walked on to sit next to a tree, Ana sighed, and followed him, against her will, and I didn't want to be alone, so I followed suit... After sitting down for a few miniutes, in an uncomfortable silence, Xaero finally said something, "So, this brown hand of yours..." His hooded face now turning to Ana, who scolded, "Not my problem! If it wasn't for this!" She said, her brown hands retrieving a pendant from inside her cloak... It was a stone called Pyrite, a dull yellow glowing was emitting from it, "Wow, a pendant!" I said, which caught both of their attention, "How'd you know kid?!" Asked Ana, "Erm, I sorta have one myself...!" I said, pretty pleased that I could say something intelligent, I was just about to get it from my neck, but I remembered my very black-ish appearance, so Xaero took the lead, he grabbed his hood with his, clawed hands, a rather black-ish head with a red circle on his forehead, "Yeah, I know, I'm a... Sneasel, well, no I'm not! I just woke up like this!" He said, rather matter-of-factly... "So, you're one to?!" Ana's voice sounded, as she lowered her hood with her brownish hands, yellow cheeks on golden-orange fur, quiet big chocolate brown and yellow ears, that end in a curl and golden-brownish eyes appeared... "You're a Raichu!" I blurted out, she nodded, then they both turned to me, I gulped very quietly, with my own black-ish hands, I lowered my hood, revealing my golden oval on my forehead, my red eyes, my blackish face, my long black ears poking through my mass of brown hair... We all looked at each over, I was relieved that we got that over, and I started pondering about my pendant... Ana's was a Pyrite, Xaero had shown his, it was a bloodstone, which shined a dull black, and mine was some Lazuli, which also dimly shone some midnight blue...

I sighed a little, and felt all of a sudden, a wet drop hit my face, Ana must of felt it to, because she got up, holding the palms of her brown hand out... It was raining, okay, it doesn't sound that dramatic, but when you got fur and you've got no cover what so ever, then it's dramatic, we all got up, and headed in to the forest, silently, my hood was still down, my red eyes gleaming ahead... I let Ana lead us, Xaero followed her, then I was behind, thinking of what happened in the past 24h... We walked for god knows how long, always so silent, the frost was peaceful, there didn't seem to be any pokémon anywhere, until, we came to the heart of the forest... We were lucky to have got moving so soon, the rain was having difficulty hitting the ground because of the green foliage...

We stopped, and stared at what grabbed our attention, a hut, in the middle of a forest, "well, this is weird!" I said, trying to engage conversation, but the others were already making their way towards it, so I carried on... Ana knocked, once, twice, three times... Though nobody answered, our pokémon senses quickly picked up a noise from inside, it was a sort of sobbing, a moaning voice... It was well weird... So I decided we were gonna enter this place, if they like it or not, and opened the door, which to our great surprise, opened with ease... The first thing that met our eyes was a girl, she was sobbing on a chair, another one was making some sort of tea, over an antique stove, whilst a third person stood in the corner, crossing her arms... I blinked rapidly, forgetting my red eyes for a moment, and they stared back, I was pushed through the door by Ana and Xaero. We were silent for a few seconds, till the oldest one, the one in the corner said, "What the heck are you? And what do you want with us!" I then came up with a stupid answer, "Well, judging who you are, we're the same as you, and we came here to find shelter!" The oldest one narrowed her eyes, and the one of the chair started sobbing again, while the one making the drinks smiled broadly, "Thank whoever it was who sent you! It's just that, it gets very lonely here!" I smiled back at her, and she continued with her business... "State your name!" Growled the older one, Ana also narrowed her eyes, "I don't get you, what's up, you seem very tight!" It was the crying girl's turn to look up, "Oh no, she just want's to protect us! That's all! Sit down!" She said unhappily, gesturing the floor, I did, Xaero did slowly, and Ana did, even tough she didn't want to... I smiled, the second girl had finished making drinks, and had given the former-crying girl a big mug of something hot... She also handed up water if we wished, we all said yes, seeing we had walked for quiet a while, she then sat down, after offering water to the older one, who kindly refused it, she then sat down with us, reluctantly... The second one piped up, "I'm Mel, a Dragonair hybrid, if that's how you call'em!" She said, happily pointing to her red jewels, her red eyes and her golden body, "Though I'm a shiny Dragonair...!" She continued in her same tone, then the sobbing girl said, "I am Starmie, a Clefable hybrid!" She was rather uncertain, her skin was a pale pink, she has white, curly, hair, just like a Clefable, and the Clefable wings on her back, her red eyes from crying were drying up, they were a pale blue, she also had brown fingertips and long, black tipped ears... The older one then said, after a bit of surveying us, "I'm Mya Saren, just Mya though! I'm a Suicune hybrid!" She has dark blue eyes, to match the dark blue fur, she also has dark brown hair, and a dark blue robe, with a moon on it... We then presented each of ourselves in turn... It was about 5pm, so I decided it would be a great time for writing in my diary...

Dear diary

Today has been very weird, I have become an Umbreon, we have left home, I have met some other people which have also became some pokémon, we all have special pendants, my mum told me that they each contain a special spirit from one of the members of the resistance I have left my mother, who is on the train to somewhere, and when I was about to take the train, I saw a girl with a pearl on her tail... Well, I couldn't talk to her, because we were about to get in... All I know, is that, tomorrow morning, we go find her...

I snapped my diary shut, and I was ready to announce our plans for tomorrow... "Listen up everyone! I think they are some more hybrids running around, I'm not sure about what happened to you, but when I put on my pendant, I heard the words chosen, reform, and something else, which I can't remember at the moment ^^ *Everybody does an anime fall* So that's why I believe we've got to find all the hybrids!" I said, making my voice as proud as possible... The other's nodded, and Mel asked, "So where do you plan to go tomorrow..." So, I politely answered, "The train station!" Xaero then piped up, What, the Baiesa one! I am not going there!" I sweat dropped, "No, we're going to the next one from here, wherever that is?!" Ana smiled, Mya also had a small smile, Starmie giggled slightly, and Xaero looked relieved...
