I really like reading crossovers but there aren't that many so I decided to write my own. English isn't my first language so my grammar might not be that good, take it easy on me okay guys?

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Expelliarmus!"

A red streak of light struck the elder wand as soon as the incantation for the death spell was left Voldemort's lips. The wand flew into the sky as a sickly green light shot out from the tip and struck Voldemort on the chest. His crimson eyes lost its colour and became dull maroon; his face showed he was shocked as his body slumped on the floor.

'Finally' Thought Harry as relief flooded as his body he stared at Voldemort's deceased body in front of him. After all these months of looking for Voldemort's horcruxes and destroying them, he could finally relax and enjoy his life. The crowd that was watching the duel were in ecstasy; they cheered and laughed in joy. Majority of them were running towards him to congratulate him in his victory over the Dark Lord, suddenly Neville was shouting at him but Harry couldn't hear what he was saying. Something had struck him in the back and from what his peripheral visual showed him it was bright green in colour. It only took him a half a second to figure out it was the death spell but it was already too late, his vision was fading.

'Oh the irony! After avoiding being killed by the most dangerous dark wizard for the most of my life, I get killed by some random low-classed deatheater! I can already hear Mad-eye berating me for lowering my guard' thought Harry as he embraced the welcoming arms of death.

Harry was confused and Harry Potter doesn't easily get confused. He was absolutely sure he died; he even felt his soul leave his body! Then why could he still breathe? Why could he feel his lungs inhale the life-giving oxygen? He contemplated opening his eyes but his thoughts were interrupted by a raspy voice that sends shivers down his spine.

"Open your eyes child, I know you're awake."

Harry hesitantly opened his eyes was surprised to find himself in a small room that was white in colour. There were no windows, no furniture and there wasn't a door. There was a long figure standing at the corner of the room, he (he presumed the figure was male) was shrouded with a cloak that covered his identity. However Harry already knew who it was from the moment he saw him.

"Death, I presume?" Asked Harry in his best nonchalant voice that belied his nervousness, you couldn't blame him; he was talking to death himself!

"How very astute of you Master of Death, but I believe you have some questions?" Replied Death in a mocking tone.

"Yeah, like what am I doing here for one?" Responded Harry as he stood up and dusted some non-existent dust from his torn trousers.

"My sister Fate had given you hard life without much joy or happiness. Your death was premature; you were supposed to live the rest of your life in peace so the scale could be balanced." Death paused for minute to let Harry think about his words, and then continued. "However thanks to your premature death the scale isn't balanced, so that's why I'm here to give you a new life in another world that isn't as corrupted as much as yours is."

"What about my friends? What would happen to them?" Asked Harry in a quiet tone, how would Hermione and Ron and the rest of Weasley's live? Who would take care of little Teddy now that he died?

"You shouldn't have to worry, thanks to your efforts in exterminating Riddle they would live on peacefully like you should have done. They will mourn your death for a while like all you humans do but they would eventually move with their lives. Also your godson Teddy Lupin, I believe is called would be taken care of by his grandmother." Replied Death in a knowing voice that showed his intelligence in what is happen in the world.

Harry was quiet for a few minutes as he digested what he had been told. So Ron, Hermione, Teddy and the rest of his surrogate family would be okay. However there was still plenty of questioned that were unanswered like why couldn't he live peacefully in the afterlife? Unless he somehow was destined to go to hell…his thoughts were interrupted again but this he could hear Death chuckling with laughter instead.

"No you're not destined to go hell, quite the opposite in fact. You could pass on to heaven if you want to….but do you not want to live again but this time without a prophesy hanging over your head, this time without anybody praising your since you were a mere toddler, don't you want live a normal life and be just Harry instead of 'Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived'?"

Death was very persuasive Harry admitted begrudgingly, but most of what he had said was true. He had always wondered how life would be if he was just an ordinary boy, to have a great childhood, fall in love, get married and have kids of his own. This was his chance to experience everything he ever wanted in life…so he made up his choice.

"I accept your proposal." Said Harry confident in his decision "However, I want to ask what's the catch….you can't be offering all this without expecting anything in return." Questioned Harry, suspicious evident in his tone.

Death chuckled nervously at the question. "Let's just say….some kid named Ash Ketchum is the 'Chosen one' of this world and he isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the chandelier, so some help would be very much appreciated."

Harry groaned with defeat, 'At least you're not the 'Chosen one' yourself' his mind argued. "Fine, fine, I'll help but I won't be holding his hand all the way".

Harry then asked the question was on his mind for a very long time. "So how exactly is this world different from mine?" Questioned Harry with narrowed eyes and accusing voice.

Death just smiled mysteriously and snapped his skeletal fingers; Harry started spinning before he lost unconsciousness for the second time.

Harry woke up clutching his head in pain, muttering curses to the death entity as he sat up. He opened his eyes and was stunned to find himself in a large grassy field near a large lake, the sun was shining brightly and he could hear birds chirping happily. Harry walked up to the lake to quench his dry throat but when he saw his reflection he was shocked to his core. His face looked really young (like a thirteen years old if he remembered), his green eyes seemed to look so much larger and brighter. However there was some differences he could recognize, for example this face didn't have as much baby fat he had in his previous life, his eyes seemed to have perfect vision without the aid of glasses and his hair was much longer then remembered he had. It reached his shoulder and was more subdued compared to being stuck up randomly like he previously had. He was also much to his annoyance, swimming in now larger sized clothes.

After Harry examined his 'new' face he stood up and checked on his 'supplies'. Before he died Harry emptied all his vaults and with the help of the goblins he stored them into his body using goblin magic. On his shoulder was large tattoo-like symbol that looked like a swirl, it is a small pocket dimension that only the symbol bearer that could enter. So he bit his thumb to bring some blood then he smeared the blood on the tattoo and watched as it turned red which signified that it was activated and then felt something pull on his navel much like a portkey.

He appeared in a large chamber which held a huge amount of gold; he ignored them and walked to the nearest corner of the chamber and found what he was looking for, his invisibility cloak. He then activated the tattoo again and reappeared into the grassy field again, he pulled on his cloak and walked on the pathway to what looked like a windmill; he was going to find out everything he can find out about this mysterious world so he wouldn't make himself look like a fool in front of everybody.

He let loose an evil laugh that would make Voldemort green with envy as he journeyed towards the small village. 'We'll see who gets the last laugh now Death!' What Harry didn't notice was that he made the close by Nidoran shiver and soil himself in fear.

After a few days Harry had learned very much. After breaking in professor Oak's lab and observing him he found out that this world has some bizarre creatures named Pokémon. During the night when the professor was asleep, Harry went on the computer and read as much information as he could about these creatures. Apparently there are five regions (excluding the Orange islands) in this world where there were over six hundred species of Pokémon. Children at the age of thirteen were given a Pokémon by their local professor and they started their journey as a trainer. Harry thought the people here were nuts to let their children travel the world at such a young age by themselves but it seemed to be a rite of adulthood in this world.

Harry then done some research about Ash Ketchum, he found out that he lived in this town but he had already left town and started his journey with a Pikachu. Therefore he decided he would have to start his own journey to catch up with him but he first had to do some more research. After learning and memorizing as much information he could about the Pokémon native to the Kanto region he left the lab without a trace.

The next day Harry went to a local clothes shop and bought some new clothes with his money. The shopkeeper was bewildered when she was presented with gold but she didn't complain, she just advised to go to the next town which had a bank and exchange some money there. Harry now wore some black jeans with a belt (the buckle had been engraved with symbol of the deathly hallows) that Pokéballs could be attached to, a pair of black running shoes, a bright green long-sleeved shirt, a plain black leather jacket that was left unzipped and a green shoulder strap bag. Harry also decided against cutting his hair, instead he now had two bangs of his hair framing his face with the rest tied in a ponytail. He also bought a house that was on for sale, he knew he didn't need it but it was good to have a place to come back to when he wanted to have a rest. Then he checked on himself again to make sure he looked presentable then he walked to the professor's lab.

When he knocked the door a few times it was opened by an old man that was wearing a white lab coat and some khaki shorts, in other words professor Oak.

"What can I do for you young man?" Asked Prof. Oak with as he beckoned Harry into the windmill, Harry entered the lab and turned to face the professor as he closed the door.

"I'm sorry to disturb you if you were busy professor but my name is Harry Potter and I'm not sure if you noticed, but I'm just moved into the neighbourhood."

Prof. Oak looked confused for a moment for he smiled again. "Ah yes, you mean the house the Baker's used to live."

"Yes that's the one, but that's not why I'm here, you see I had turned thirteen recently and I would like the start my Pokémon journey as early as possible. I was wondering if you can provide me a starter Pokémon."

"Why don't you follow me Harry, I'll get your equipment ready." Said Oak as walked into a hallway and Harry soon followed behind. They entered a large room which Harry recognized was the one he used to gather data, but now there were other two people he didn't recognize.

Prof. Oak saw Harry was staring at his visitors do he introduced them. "Harry this is May Maple and my good friend Professor Birch, they both came to visit from the Hoenn region, could you keep them entertained while I go fetch you're equipment." Prof. Oak didn't even wait for Harry to nod as left the room.

Professor Birch was a tall, young man with chestnut hair. His beard was trimmed short and was connected to his sideburns; he was wearing a blue shirt with a lab coat on top and some khaki shorts like his counterpart.

May Maple on the other hand was a wearing a blue biker shorts, black socks , red and yellow shoes, a yellow waist bag, a short-sleeved red shirt with some blue near the collar and blue and white gloves. She had a short fringe and two bangs of hair on each side which framed her face but most of her chocolate coloured hair was covered with a red bandanna which had a half a pokéball design on it. Her sparkling blue eyes were staring at him with intensity and her cheeks were gaining a light shade of pink. Harry could tell she was blushing and it helped raise his confidence, he gave her the famous Potter grin© that he learned from Sirius and he could see her cheeks get darker.

"Pleasure to meet you Professor Birch and you too May, My name is Harry Potter." He pronounced as he shook both their hands. "If you don't mind me asking could you tell me why you're visiting Kanto?"

Professor Birch took out a pokéball and pressed the button to expand it to the size of a tennis ball and then released its content. It looked like a tiny puppy in size but everything else was very different. It had a pale white body which was covered by black fur; with a ruff around its neck and chest, and a tuft on top of its head adorned with a single white oval. It had a cat-like face, a scythe-like tail and a sickle shaped growth on the side of its head. Its circular feet were equipped with pale claws and it had similar-coloured spikes protrude from heels of its hind legs and the elbows of its anterior legs. (It's Absol with reversed colouring).

"This is Absol; it's a Pokémon that's native to Hoenn and Sinnoh only. It's normally independent Pokémon but it obviously lived with his mother and siblings. This one was cast out from his family for having its colours reversed. It was only a moth year old when I found him; I wanted to investigate with Professor Oak about it considering his the expert on these kinds of things." Explained Professor Birch in a lecturing tone but Harry wasn't even listening to his explanation, he was too busy staring at the young Pokémon's eyes.

It was such a crystal blue in colour; he had only seen one person with eyes with the exact same colour tone….Sirius. However his thoughts were interrupted by May.

"Even though I live in Hoenn I always to start my Pokémon journey at Kanto ever since I visited here with my family for a vacation. So when I heard from my brother that Professor Birch was coming here I took my chance and went with him." Said May shyly with her hands behind her back.

"Absol!" Yipped the young Pokémon as jumped into Harry's arms and started licking his face causing him to start laughing.

"It really must like you Harry, he doesn't normally greet anybody with so much enthusiasm!" Exclaimed May as she watched the adorable scene.

"It looks like your having fun Harry, I've got you're equipment ready" Commented Professor Oak as he came back into the room with six small balls and a red device. "Here are six pokéballs and a pokédex. I'm sorry Harry but all of the starter Pokémons I had was taken a few days ago by four trainers (Gary, Ash and two others).

"That's okay professor, I'm sure I could catch one on my own." Harry took the pokédex and scanned Absol but the device showed no information.

"Let me install you're pokédex with some information about Pokémon from the Hoenn region." Suggested Prof. Birch in which Harry agreed with, after a few minutes of tinkering with the device it was back in his hand and this time it was working.

It appears when it senses an impending natural disaster. As a result, it was mistaken as a doom-bringer.

Name: Absol

Gender: Male

Ability: Super luck

Moves: Sword dance, bite, quick attack, slash and razor wind.

Harry whistled at the information, he was impressed that this recently born Absol knew so many attacks. "Maybe you could keep me out of trouble Absol; it always seems to find me." He chuckled as Absol started yipping and licking him again with renewed vigour.

At the same time the two professors were observing their interactions and they could plainly see that they had already bonded, after a quick talk they decided that Harry should start with Absol after they found out what caused Absol unusual colouring (their investigation would only take a day). When they informed the duo they were immensely happy and Harry decided to nickname Absol Sirius.

"So May why don't you travel with Harry, it's always more fun to travel with somebody, after all it could get lonely when you're by yourself." Suggested Professor Oak.

May quickly started blushing at the thought of travelling with Harry all by themselves and nobody to interfere….May shook her thoughts out of her head as she turned towards Harry to see if he was okay with it. When he told her he didn't mind the company her smile didn't leave her face that day.

Author's note

Just some information to some unanswered questions. Harry doesn't have a wand so he can't do magic. He only knows how to cast some of the lower-level spells wandlessly like stupefy, the levitation charm (which is like telekinesis) etc.

I decided to pair Harry with May so May gets to travel with in Kanto instead of Hoenn. However since contests didn't appear in Kanto until season 9, May would be a Pokémon trainer for now and would compete in the Kanto league. I'll decide whether or not she'll go to contests when they go to another region. Also May would be getting a variety of different Pokémon, so there would be differences compared to the show. Both Harry and May would get more than six Pokémon and would be keeping them in rotation like how Ash does in black and white. May's starter Pokemon is a torchic. I also changed the age requirement to start a Pokémon journey because I think ten is way too young. I'm contemplating in pairing Ash with Misty or another girls, tell me if you have any ideas who to pair Ash with (other than May). Something else I wanted to say is that Harry and Ginny never got together before Harry died.

Another thing is that I don't when I'll update next but I'll try to write as much as I can when I'm free. Reviews would keep me motivated to write more so please review!
