"No!" Harry yelled as he burst into the clearing in the Forbidden Forest. Ron and Hermione looked at him in surprise, and green jets of light flew from Voldemort's wand. Both collapsed as the light hit them. Harry screamed at Voldemort and shot a stunning spell at him. Voldemort dodged, and shouted "Avada Kedavra!" Harry saw the green light fly at him, and he blacked out.

Harry opened his eyes and sat up. He looked about and saw whiteness around him. He got up and, feeling as if he was in a dream, walked. After a few metres, he stopped and wished he had his friends. He heard a shout and took off towards it. After a while, the shouts became more distinct. "Harry! Hermione! Harry!"

"Ron!" Harry yelled and sprinted to his friend. Ron looked immensely relieved to see him. "I thought you were dead!" Harry exclaimed.

"No... I remember you showing up and the light hitting me, then waking up here. How did you get here?" Just then, Hermione ran up to them and enveloped them in a hug.

"Hermione, we thought you were dead."

"I'm alive though. The killing curse hit, and I woke up here. How did you get here Harry?"

"Same as you two. The curse hit and I woke up here. Speaking of here, where are we?"

"I can answer that."

The Golden Trio turned and saw Dumbledore walking alongside a white-horse like creature. It had green eyes, gold hooves and a strange golden wires projecting from its body. "Dumbledore? You died!" Harry said incredulously.

"And what's that?" Ron asked, pointing a shaky finger at the creature. I am Arceus it said telepathically. Creator of the Pokémon universe and legendary Pokémon.

"Yes Harry, it is me. I did die, but Arceus saved my soul and let me stay as a ghost. He can do that as he is a Pokémon of unrivalled power."

"What are Pokémon?" Hermione asked.

"They are creatures like Arceus, except many aren't powerful enough to create a universe. Anyway Pokémon are creatures people called trainers catch them for companionship and use them to battle other Pokémon in sport." Dumbledore explained "And as for how you got here..."

I brought you here. I have become impressed with Dumbledore and saved you, Ron and Hermione when Voldemort attempted to kill you. Harry is here because he is the sixth Horcrux as Dumbledore has told me.

"WHAT!?" yelled the Golden Trio.

"Yes. Harry destroyed the diary of Riddle; I destroyed the ring, Ron the locket, Hermione the cup, Neville the snake and Goyle's Fiendfyre destroyed the diadem. When Voldemort killed Lily, her sacrifice gave Harry immunity to Voldemort and his spells. So when the rebounded spell hit Voldemort, the remainder of his soul split in half. One half stayed in Voldemort, who did not die because of his other Horcruxes and the other half attached itself to Harry because he was the only other living thing that could store the soul. Since the spell to combine the soul and the object was not cast, Harry was not made a dark object." Dumbledore explained.

Enough Dumbledore. I will take you all to the Hall of Origin. Arceus roared and it vanished with the humans.

Break Line

The five appeared in a six sided grand hall. It definitely looked the part, with six doors along the walls, one on each. The door they were facing had a large 'S' inscribed in platinum, with diamonds and pearls set in it. The door to the left of it read 'K', in gold and silver. The next door was identical, except it read 'J'. The door on the right had a 'U' in black and white. The one on the right of that read 'H' and was comprised of rubies, sapphires and emeralds. The door opposite S was plain.

This is the entry of Hall of Origin. The other legendary Pokémon and I live here. I-

Arceus was cut off as the unmarked door burst open and a small, pink, catlike creature flew in, followed by a green fairylike creature. The pink one flew behind Dumbledore, using him as a shield. Uncle Arceus, Celebi is trying to get me.

We're playing tag Mew, what do you expect? asked the green Pokémon.

Arceus sighed. Aren't you two supposed to be with Mewtwo?

Yes, but he started shouting at us and telling us to go away.

Alright. Tell Aunt Reshiram about it.

Okay.

The two flew back through the door they came through.

Those two are a pain in the neck. Arceus growled, before turning back to the humans. Those two were Celebi, Voice of the Forest, and Mew, the New Species Pokémon. They are childlike and immature. Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, but he is taller, stronger and faster. He is also violent and socially unstable. Anyway, I need your help. Dialga, the legendary Pokémon of time, Palkia, legendary Pokémon of space, and Giratina, the legendary Renegade Pokémon are fighting. I cannot directly interfere, as that would mean I would also have to pass judgement on the world, causing the Apocalypse. For when I return, the world must be judged. So, I need you to go into the Sinnoh region and stop them.

"How are we supposed to do that? They are Legendary Pokémon."

I am giving you Pokémon to care for. Your Pokémon will also be instrumental in the defeat of Voldemort. But to be able to take them back, you must defeat the Pokémon League Champion, Cynthia. And to get to her, you must defeat all eight gyms. Now, come with me.

Arceus turned and walked through the door Mew and Celebi had left through. The Golden Trio and Dumbledore followed him. They followed him into a room full of spotted eggs. Take one. It will be like choosing a wand. You shall know which one is for you. Harry picked an egg off a shelf, but put it back. After going through most of the eggs, he still hadn't found one. He tried one last one and smiled as it filled him with a warm, fuzzy feeling. Ron didn't take as long, and Harry knew Ron had found his partner when he smiled and pulled the egg closer to him. The first egg Hermione tried was her partner, as she cried out happily.

"These eggs will hatch into a baby Pokémon. Once they hatch, touch them with a Pokéball. They will be caught, and yours." Dumbledore said, holding out three red and white spheres. They had a line of black in the middle, and a white circle with a button on the black. Harry, Ron and Hermione took one each. To use them, tap an empty Pokéball on the Pokémon you wish to catch with it or throw the Pokéball at it. Once it is caught, throw the Pokéball to send it out to battle and so on. Visit Professor Rowan for more about this. Also, you will need a change of clothes to fit in. The clothes melted into different clothes. Harry had a black jacket over a green shirt, jeans and black boots. Ron had the same, except his shirt was yellow, and his jacket was red. Hermione had a pink shirt and a white hoodie, purple jeans and black boots. The boys had caps. Harry's was green and Ron's was orange. You may stay here overnight, and leave tomorrow.

Harry placed his egg beside his bed and got in. He couldn't sleep and just kept wondering about the new adventure. He was supposed to stop a legendary trio from destroying each other, challenge eight gyms and a champion, win, and defeat Voldemort. Then, his egg shook and he sat up sharply. It shook twice, and a blue paw burst through the eggshell. A small black and blue creature pushed its way out of the egg. It had a blue tail and arms, black legs and red eyes. There were silver bumps on its paws. "Ri... Riolu? Ri Ri Riolu." it said, but what Harry heard was "Who... Who are you? Are you my dad?"

Harry's heart almost burst with joy as he looked at the Riolu. "Yeah, I'm going to take care of you. But I have to put you in this so no-one can take you away." He said, before tapping Riolu gently on the head with the Pokéball. The Pokéball shook three times and clicked. Harry threw it, and Riolu formed. The ball bounced back to Harry and he put it away. Riolu walked over to the bed and Harry picked him up and tucked him in. Riolu cuddled up to Harry and right before he fell asleep, Harry heard Riolu mutter "I love you Dad."

A/N There. Riolu has hatched! I just had to have that fluffy scene at the end. Hermione's egg will hatch in the next chapter and Ron' in the chapter after.
