Konnichi wa! My friend Drag0nQueen and I have been working on this for some time now, and we decided we should put it on ff.n! We took turns writing this, and her character is Aliko Souto and my character is Sakura Souto. Hopefully they're not Mary Sues, but we're still trying to characterize them as much as possible. But enough of my babbling. Enjoy! Oh, and this takes place in their 3rd year.

"Man, ol' McGonagall sure gave us a ton of homework," Ron complained as he, Harry, and Hermione were leaving Transfiguration.

"Oh, come on, Ron," Hermione said. "You'd complain with any amount of homework."

Ron opened his mouth to reply when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Ginny.

Blushing madly and not looking at Harry, she informed them that she found a strange book in the library. The trio decided to investigate.

In the library, the four strode purposefully to the back, where very dusty shelves occupied the walls. There, they found an odd book nestled far back on the end of a shelf. Hermione pulled it out, reading aloud the title to the others.

"Pokemon: The Electric tale of Pikachu." The brunette looked at the others. "I don't remember this ever being back here." She looked back at the cover of a young, black- haired boy and a strange, yellow creature. "I wonder what this is about..." Everyone crowded closer as she opened the book.

The first page showed the same boy and creature from the front, accompanied by an orange-haired girl, and a brown-haired boy.

"Hmm..." Hermione murmured, her eyes darting madly across the page.

"What? What is it?" Ron asked impatiently.

"Well..." Hermione said, "It says here that Poe- kee- mahn are a type of creature made for battling... and are kept as a sort of pet!"

"Cool," said Ron, "Then we could kick Malfoy's butt, if we had one." He grinned, "Though we could without one..."

Hermione ignored his comment, flipping rapidly through the pages, "It seems this boy here," she pointed at the black-haired boy, "is called Ash Ketchum, and the whole goal of this thing is to become a 'Pokemon Master,' whatever that is."

"Who are they?" asked Ginny, pointing to the other two people.

"Hmm... Brock and Misty," said Harry, peering at the pages.

"What's that?" Ron imputed. He was pointing at a glow that had suddenly appeared towards the end of the book. Hermione slowly turned to the back. The other three gathered closer. Suddenly, there was a flash and the shielded their eyes from the light with their hands.

Harry was the first to lower his arms, "Woah! Everything looks—different!"

Hermione was next, "We're different."

It was true. The had experience a change no one ever had before.

"Look," Ron said, "We're not in the library anymore."

"Do you think the book was a Portkey?" Hermione asked.

"I dunno," Harry said.

"What's this change that makes us look different?" Ginny asked.

They were anime.

Hope everyone enjoyed that. Next chapter should be longer. Don't forget to review!
