Disclaimer: Considering my lack of Japanese language skills and my current residence being the United States and not Britain, a case of mistaken identity wouldn't hold up in court all that well. So alas I make no claim to Pokemon or Harry Potter and thus earn any of the very nice royalties those two brand names gain.
Once there was a legend about a creature who created the world. It, along with many other creatures with lesser, but still fantastical abilities lived alongside humans for many thousands of years. Until the Creator foretold an event he could not stop from happening to the world, a world he had found beautiful during the last moments he had seen it with his own waking eyes. He saw the creatures disappear and a group of humans suddenly gaining abilities much like those of his children. At first this foretelling of what was to come while he slumbered had angered him, until he saw hope as the bright soul of the human that had helped him see the beauty of this world again become renewed in this future shining like a beacon and a few others answering it as well. Bringing with it hope that when he should once more awaken the world can be corrected and his children that had disappeared would once more flourish alongside the humans again.
This foretelling and even the name of the Creator was soon forgotten and lost to the world as it slowly shifted and changed. The fantastical creatures known as Pokémon were soon lost to the world. Their very existence blotted from humanity's memory by those who had taken the power Pokémon had once held and now for their own wants and wishes. Thus, creating a world divided into two. Those humans in their vast majority that were unaware that such creatures existed or that their lives had been anything but ordinary, and of the small civilization who hid and jealously guarded their abilities from the rest of the world. Until the world as we know it came to be, with another society living alongside our own, of magic that no other could hope to compare to.
Until a faithful Halloween night when a Dark Lord was brought down by a babe barely a year old and the first signs of things to change within that forgotten foretelling came to pass when the child, bright of soul was marked to change the world. Though the ones who saw this mark mistook it for a sign of another prophecy, it would not matter in the end when Arceus would awaken again though, but until then they would be allowed to believe this.
For now the Wizarding world celebrated an end to a dark time, while young Harry Potter slept unaware on the doorstep of Number 4 Privet Drive.
Harry Potter had a life that, though unpleasant, was not really all that remarkable. The first four or so years were the harshest as he lived in the dark little broom closet created in the space beneath the stairs. Until something happened that made his Aunt and Uncle turn white in fear when they looked at him one day. Harry himself not really knowing the cause as he had his back to them, pulling on a very stubborn weed in the backyard's garden and glancing every so often to the see through creature that was watching him. He didn't know what the creature was and was never certain when it would go away and a new one would take its place as so many of this animals would show up one by one in front of him until it was just like passing by a picture on the wall everyday. Thinking only he could see them after being laughed at the one time he had mentioned the little fluffy brown and white one that had rolled and bounced around his feet the first day of preschool.
So of course it was not all that much to never realize his sudden move to Dudley's second bedroom was because the dark colored hound with odd skeleton like armor on certain parts of its hide had been visible briefly for Petunia and Vernon Dursley to see and gain a very clear message from the glare sent at them. Life was not what it should be for a child, but it was enough for young Harry, especially when the voice and the feelings of safety and affection had also started to show up. That had been at about the age of seven when the seemingly endless variation of creatures had started to seem more solid and real to him. Details showing up that he hadn't gotten from the vague see through versions of before, and colors slowly bleeding in outside of different shades of gray.
It made life not so isolated and for a child that was too young and yet too old at the same time due to how his life had panned out so far, gave him an understanding and peace to accept it all. It made his teachers uneasy and many of his peers to be frightened by him or at the least wary of the silent boy who from time to time would focus on something only he could see. Yet for the most part all left him alone and only a few every so often would attempt to bully the boy openly, only for it to swiftly come to an end for unknown reasons. Only that the instigators would not want to be in the same room as Harry but would never say why.
It brought an odd sort of half life for the boy as he mostly existed and did not really live in ways normal people would consider living. An odd thought to his young mind on why he really was so different until an odd letter arrived in the mail addressed to a now ten year old Harry James Potter the smallest bedroom of Number 4 Privet Drive.
Author's Corner: If you made it this far then how about hitting that review button eh? Also let me answer a few questions in advance with explanations before I end up getting anyone mad at me for future story developments.
1. Will Harry be in Gryffindor or another house? He'll be wearing the red and gold, though for far different reasons then canon.
2. Will there be a Golden Trio? No, at least not the canon Golden Trio, and though I'm leaning towards a no on a different Trio there could be a possibility one might crop up later on down the line.
3. So what about Ron and Hermione then? They're not going to be really portrayed in a good light I'm afraid. Not to say they will be bashed, but considering how Harry's life is now and thus his outlook he's not going think in the same way as he does in the books. Especially for how I'm going to intro him into his magical heritage. That and well both of them seemed so awful until they both grew up and matured out of their childish views of the world. Which compared to Harry's calmer and more mature outlook would make them getting along as they did in canon just not possible. As well as personally Ron does not strike me as a very stalwart friend even after his growing up in the sixth and seventh books, his jealousy of Harry, especially in Goblet of Fire just rubs me the wrong way. Hermione also suffers a personal distaste as being really the best sort of friend for Harry considering how long it takes her to stop blindly believing everything she reads and authority figures, along with her need to always harp on Harry for not knowing things like she does.
4. Will Harry befriend Draco? Nope. Later on maybe, possibly they'll have a truce of sort, but friendship not likely as he'll still be a prat when it comes to his introducing himself to Harry on the Hogwarts Express.
Till next time.
