Summary: Voldemort is dead and the Death Eaters have fled. Nothing has really changed, people still discriminate against Muggleborn. Harry is sick of it. Wishing for a change, Harry forgot he shouldn't say so out loud while holding a cursed item. In a new world with no way back home he will have to make the most of it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Pokemon I just like messing with their verse.
I first made this for DZ2's 'Prepare for Trouble' Challenge but I don't think I'll meet the requirements.
Chapter 1
Voldemort is dead has been for nearly a year now. Nothing has really changed, not that Harry thought it would. Muggleborn are still treated like dirt. A few things have changed though the laws that Voldemort put into place are staying. Turns out the man only put three laws himself all the others by his henchman were repealed.
That was a surprise to think that all laws put in place by Dark Lords are permanent never to be changed. It's hard to fathom but true.
The three laws are:
1. The Muggle-Born Registration Commission: All Muggle-born must register to live in the Wizarding world of Britain. A maximum of five years will be given to comply. If not in compliance said Muggleborn will have their wand snapped and banished from Wizarding Britain.
2. To stay in the Wizarding world of Britain all Muggle-born must have a minimum of five O.W.L's and N.E.W.T.'s each. Failure to comply will lead with their wand snapped and banished from Wizarding Britain.
3. No Witch, or Wizard, or Squib may tell a Muggle about magic. In compliance with the International Statute of Secrecy. Should a Muggle learn of our world the Obliviate Charm will be administered posthaste. Under no circumstances is a Muggle to learn of magic from a Witch, Wizard, or Squib.
Common sense law's that already exist in the Muggle world. Not that purebloods would know this. Hermione and the Weasleys are trying to fight it but Harry thought they made sense. After all, not in a single law does it state they have to stay in the Wizarding world. The law's only counted if they chose to live here.
Harry lives in London in Grimmauld Place which is in the muggle world. Hermione is living with the Weasleys in Ottery St Catchpole the village has both a Muggle and a magical community. Harry already knew Hermione would not change her mind. The girl was too stubborn for her own good. She did mess with her parent's minds.
Grimmauld Place is filled with trinkets some cursed some not. Harry has lived here since the end of the war. He just wanted to be alone. The Burrow was not a place he could be alone. The others wouldn't respect that. It was too chaotic.
Now that Voldemort was dead well dead, dead. Harry could now be himself. He forgave Ron and Hermione so many times. Mostly Ron. Hermione wasn't that bad a little condescending at times but a true friend nonetheless. Harry was no longer a child, he didn't have a madman after his head he could be himself.
Harry had no idea who he was. He spent the last seven years copying Ron acting like what he thought a Gryffindor was like. Brave, lazy, stupid just to name a few.
Did he really have no personality?
Thinking back Harry knew he was taught to be nothing. His relatives wanted a servant, someone they could boss around. Now that he was eighteen he went to the authorities to prosecute them. He had loads of evidence to use. Nothing he ever wanted to see the light of day but needs must. Both were found guilty and sentenced to 20 year's if he was lucky they would both die. Who was he kidding they would die at the end of the month. He would make sure of it.
HARRY POTTER HOW DARE YOU VOTE FOR THOSE LAW'S! DOES OUR FRIENDSHIP MEAN NOTHING TO YOU? YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME AT THE BURROW...
Dispassionate, Harry watched the Howler destroy its self. Was she really that stupid? There was nothing he or anyone else could do those laws were here to stay. Hell, Harry had to read all the book's that Walburga recommended just to understand and believe what he was reading.
Harry tried to tell her but she refused to listen. How did Ron put up with her?
Harry was not studious, he blamed his relatives for that. You can't punish a child for learning and expect them to know how or want to. Harry knew they were monsters, he would never treat his children how they treated him and his cousin.
Hermione needed to grow up and realize that she was not the center of the universe, that she didn't know as much as everyone else. Harry always pretended to not hear the things people said about her. He knew her, she was not an easy person to like.
She wanted to break their friendship then she was dead to him.
The three of them used to be the best of friends was he the only one to grow up?
He still had George who he believed was trying to hard to be normal. What made him think dating Fred's girlfriend was a good thing. Knowing him he will marry the girl even if he doesn't really like her. Harry wished George wouldn't give his life up to be Fred. Just because they were twin's was no reason to forget himself.
Cleaning up the mess of the Howler Harry walked towards the kitchen he was hungry. It's been a year since he first started cleaning up the place. Kreacher helped a lot especially in cataloging everything in the house. Grabbing some lunch he ate before tackling the cursed items Kreacher kept in the family room. Harry never went in there and it was the biggest room in the house just made sense to keep them in there.
Carefully Harry slowly went through the various items littered through the room. Some random clothes like hats and scarfs he had Kreacher put away in a closed off room. He planned to have all the useful cursed items in that room. Somethings were just junk and not worth keeping Harry had Kreacher dispose of them by throwing them into an active volcano. Hey, it worked for Frodo. The last thing Harry needed was his own Sauron. Lucky for him the last Dark Lord was full of himself and wanted to kill him personally. No way he would be lucky enough to get someone that stupid again.
Deciding to take a break Harry got up only to trip over the rug landing on a... Stuffed animal? A strange looking stuffed animal in the shape of a yellow... Mouse?
Getting up he felt dizzy, standing still with his hand covering his eyes he waited for the room to stop spinning. Never once noticing the portal that opened right next to him, losing equilibrium he fell through. Swallowed by a flash of light everything went dark.
Cricket chirping filled the air, owl hooting could be heard. Yet none of it disturbed the human in the grass. The human suddenly appeared scaring a few Pokemon in the area. Various Rattata scampered to the boy sniffing him as they saw he was not moving. Judging him safe the Rattata clan united en masse to keep the human warm through the night.
Alone and confused Harry awoke covered in strange purple rats in a rather large meadow. The rats weren't the only strange creatures around him all the animals were different. The birds differed in size but they were not normal nor were the bugs. The Butterflies were huge as were the Bee's, man that scared him. Like a horror movie.
Where in the hell was he?
Since the creatures could talk sort of he asked one of the rat's which way was a town. Not like he had anything to lose. He already tried calling for Kreacher that didn't work. He didn't remember much of how he got there. He and Kreacher were going through the cursed items and had stopped for the night when he... fell?
He thinks so... Yeah, he tripped over the rug that he put on the ground. Damn, but it couldn't have been the rug he touched it before that point. How did I get here then?
Thinking back he remembered the stuffed animal. "I fell on it. That must have been it. Why send me here though?" Looking around, the Meadow was beautiful and the animals were nice. What a strange curse.
Wait, what if it wasn't a curse but a Portkey of some kind. Like Voldemorts from the tournament. Harry already knew it wasn't here a child's toy would be hard to miss and he wasn't backtracking. He spent most of the morning walking this way he was not deviating from the course he set.
"Ta. Ratta." the creature called. Speeding up Harry ran toward it wondering if they finally made it to town. Cresting the hill he saw its buildings and people.
"Thank you for the help," said Harry.
"Ratta." The thing nodded before running back into the grass.
Surprised, maybe they can understand more then he thought.
Walking down the hill he entered the town looking around he saw that nearly everyone had a strange creature by their side. Were they pets?
Using magic he stole a paper from a man walking by. Ever since he broke the Elder wand he hasn't needed one to use his magic. Good thing since he didn't have one on him.
Reading the paper Harry learned he was in Viridian.
Viridian City is a large city located in western Kanto. This is also where Giovanni, runs the Viridian City Gym. Giovanni specializes in Ground-type Pokémon, and when you defeat him you are free to leave and to go to the Elite Four. Three major paths lead from the city center. To the north is Route 2, as well as Viridian Forest, which lies in the middle of the route, leading to Pewter City. To the south is Route 1, which leads to Pallet Town. To the west is Route 22, leading to Indigo Plateau and the Pokémon League.
Viridian is home to more than just the Pokemon Gym it also inhabits the Pokémon academy a school that teaches the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers. The Trainer House in which the basement is primarily dedicated to a battlefield is located in the center of town. In the basement, you may battle other Trainers once a day.
Intrigued Harry broke into the Academy to learn more about Pokemon.
The six values that define your Pokémon are known as stats: HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed. As it levels up, a Pokémon's stats increase, making it faster or tougher or more powerful—or all-around better! The rate at which each stat increases depends on a number of factors, such as your Pokémon's Nature and its underlying base stats, so even Pokémon of the same species at the exact same level could have different stats.
There are many factors that can influence stat growth, but the easiest one for a Trainer to affect is base stats. At a practical level, there are three main actions Trainers can take to manage their Pokémon's base stats and influence how a Pokémon's stats might increase. The first action is battling other Pokémon, the second action is using items on your Pokémon, and the third action is the new Super Training feature in the Kalos region, which enables you to raise a Pokémon's base stats more easily than ever before. Raising these base stats will lead directly to higher stats, meaning more powerful hits, sturdier defenses, or quicker moves!
Interesting!
I understood none of that.
He got the gist of it though. Pokemon are those creatures, they don't have real animals only Pokemon. The humans of this world treat them the same as in his. Pokemon are pets or trained in some way, or food. No difference.
To live in this world Harry needed a Pokemon and to be a registered trainer. Not wanting to walk through the Meadow to Pallet Town as he didn't know what was in it he asked around for a map. An old man near the road leading back to the forest Harry came out of taught him how to catch a Pokemon and gave him a T.V. Thanking the old man Harry walked to the Pokemart to see if he could sell it for money. On the way, he stumbled over a Gold Nugget on the ground by the tree he just passed.
"Wow, now that is lucky."
The Nugget nabbed him 5000 Pokédollars at the Pokemart. Harry was able to buy a backpack and a few other things like Escape Rope, Repel, and a Map since they don't require a trainer license to have.
All set he walked on the road leading toward Pallet Town only to fall over twice near a tree finding a randomly dropped item. He really hoped this wasn't turning into a thing. With two Potions in his pack, he set out into the grass only to stop and spray himself with the Repel. That would have been bad.
Professor Oak's Laboratory is where he needs to head to first. Nighttime fell as soon as he entered the Town proper. Walking right up to the Lab he thought about how he would get in. It's a small Town so I doubt the front door is locked. Turning the knob it opened.
Walking right in Harry went to the back of the room he saw three Pokeballs with a blue teardrop on one, a green leaf on another, and a fire Symbol on the last one. That must be the starter Pokemon for new trainers.
Grabbing the Fire one, Harry quickly stuffed a few things into his pack and then added his info to the computer registering himself as a new trainer from Viridian. Done he left just as quickly, Professor Oak will see the Pokemon missing in the morning but since the Pokemon was registered to a Harry Potter from Viridian he just put it to old age and forgot about it. No one noticed the missing items since they regularly hand out items to trainers.
Back in the Viridian Forest Harry set up a tent planning to stay for a few months working with his Charmander. There is still so much he needs to learn about this world. These next few months will be used to learn all he can before moving on.
