It was a crisp fall day as a thirteen-year-old girl pedaled down the sidewalk. She was wearing a pair of purple denim shorts, a white t shirt, a short purple denim jacket that stopped below her chest, and a pair of purple leather gloves with matching boots. A purple fanny pack attached around her waist.

Her long, brown, bushy hair fanned out behind her as the wind went through her hair.

This girl was Hermione Granger, a friend of Harry Potter. She had met Harry almost two years ago in Saffron City. He was kidnapped by a man named Voldemort and she helped save him.

Hermione was a Pokemon Detective. She solved crimes using her Pokemon, but right now she really wanted to take a vacation. Her funds were low and it was hard finding work.

How she would love to spend three days and two nights in a hotel on Volencia Island where she could lie on the beach and soak up the sun's rays. But at the rate her business was going, it was going to be winter before she saved up enough money.

Hermione turned the corner towards Viridian City. She was going to pay her friend a visit to see how he was doing. He had sent her several letters telling him about how things were going.

In his last letter, he told her that his mother, Lily Potter, had taken over the Viridian City Gym since Giovanni was no longer in charge. Hermione really wanted to see the gym and how Harry was helping his mother.

Hermione stopped her bike and looked around making sure she was in the right area. Viridian City wasn't one of the towns she normally visited.

"Spearow Spearow." said a voice.

Hermione looked around the grassy plain and spotted a Spearow drinking from a pond not far from her.

"Wow." she said. "A Spearow."

She pulled out a pink Pokedex from out of her pack and opened it. She pointed the machine at the Spearow.

"Spearow," it said. "The bird Pokemon. Spearow flaps its wings busily to fly. Using its beak, it searches in the grass for prey."

Hermione smiled. She loved bird Pokemon and this one had her name written all over it. She put the Pokedex away and climbed off her bike. She moved towards Spearow until she was only a few feet from it. Spearow looked up.

"Alright, Spearow," she said. "You're mine now." She grabbed a Pokeball from out of her pack. "Pichu," she said. "This one's yours." She threw the Pokeball releasing her Pokemon.

"Pichu." said Pichu happily.

"Pichu, let's catch that Spearow." she said. "Use your tackle."

"Pichu." said Pichu as it ran forward.

"Spear?" said Spearow watching Pichu.

When Pichu got close enough, Spearow flew into the air. Pichu crashed into the pond. Spearow flew around in circles above them.

"Now use your thunderbolt." said Hermione.

"Pi-chuuuuuuuuu!" said Pichu sending a thunderbolt into the sky.

Spearow didn't have time to dodge so it was hit directly. Spearow fell to the ground with a loud crash.

Hermione got her Pokeball ready.

"Pokeball, go!" she said throwing a Pokeball at the fallen bird.

The Pokeball went sailing towards Spearow, but before it could make it, a Fearow landed in front of the injured bird and knocked the Pokeball back towards Hermione. She caught the ball.

"Fearow!" said Fearow angrily.

"Uh-oh." said Hermione. "Once again I bit off more than I can chew."

Fearow flapped its wings angrily and turned around to face Hermione. Hermione didn't like the way it was staring at her so she slowly began to back away, hoping that she would reach her bike unharmed.

"Fearow!" said Fearow as it rose into the air preparing an attack.

"Pichu," said Hermione. "Run for it!" she said.

Hermione and Pichu ran towards the bike as Fearow launched an attack. Hermione could feel a gust of wind behind her so she picked up Pichu and dove out of the way.

The gust attack hit Hermione's bike causing it to lift off the ground and smash into a tree. The crash was so powerful the bike split in two. So much for escaping by bike.

"Fearow!" said Fearow turning back towards Hermione and Pichu.

Hermione started to run away, but Fearow gave chase. Her sixth sense told her that Fearow had launched another attack.

She was suddenly lifted off the ground by a gust of wind. She rose high into the air and then came crashing down hard on the ground. Pichu fell out of her hands and rolled across the ground.

Hermione rushed over to pick up Pichu. She heard a wing flap and turned around to see Fearow flying towards her. Hermione held Pichu close trying to protect it. She squeezed her eyes shut awaiting the pain.

"Venomoth, psybeam!" said a voice.

"Venomoth." said another voice.

Though her eyes were closed, Hermione could hear a loud crash, Fearow crying in pain, and the sound of a pair of wings flapping.

Hermione remained in her protective position just in case the Venomoth wanted to attack her next. But an attack didn't come, but she did hear someone approach.

"Hey, there." said the voice.

Hermione cracked open one of her eyes and she could see the hand of another human being. She opened the eye fully and looked up.

Standing in front of her was a boy with blonde hair and grey eyes. He was bent over with his hand outstretched to her.

Hermione took his hand and allowed him to help her to his feet.

"Thank you." she said. "Anything could have happened if you didn't show up."

"I was just passing by." he said. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." answered Hermione. She looked down at Pichu. "How about you?"

"Pichu Pi." answered Pichu.

"I know what would make you guys feel better." he said. "If you guys settled down to a nice lunch."

The boy prepared lunch for all of them. He served them hot potato stew and bread. They washed all of this down with a cool glass of water.

Hermione learned that the boy's name was Draco Malfoy and he helped run the Fuchsia Gym. He was just on his way on vacation when he got an important call from his father. He needed to return to the gym so that his father and mother could go to a gym leader conference.

"Mmm." said Hermione after eating another spoonful of stew. "This is great." she said.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it." said Draco. "It's my mother's recipe."

"How is it?" Hermione asked Pichu.

"Pichu Pichu." said Pichu happily.

Draco finished his stew and sat his bowl down. He went into his back pocket and pulled out two tickets. He looked at them and sighed.

"What's wrong?" asked Hermione.

"It's just that these tickets expire soon and I was really looking forward to visiting Volencia Island, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen."

"I know just how you feel." said Hermione. "I was looking forward to a vacation, but my funds are low."

"Then why don't you take these tickets?" Draco asked holding them out to Hermione.

"Huh?" said Hermione as she stared at the tickets in Draco's hand. "I couldn't take those." she said.

"Go ahead." said Draco. "It's okay. The tickets are going to expire soon and I rather that you just take them than they go to waste."

"Well, if you say so." said Hermione taking the tickets out of Draco's hand. She looked at them and frowned. "But what do I do about the second ticket?"

Draco stood up. "I don't know." he said shrugging. "Perhaps you can find someone to take. I should go now."

"Alright." said Hermione. "And thank you for the lunch."

"You're welcome."

______________________________________________________________________

"Now, Totodile." said Harry. "Water gun!"

"Toto-Diiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllle!" said Totodile as it used its water gun covering the floor in water.

Harry grabbed a mop and began to slide across the floor cleaning it and leaving it sparkling.

Twelve-year-old Harry Potter was cleaning the Viridian gym for his mother and his Pokemon agreed to help.

Harry, Totodile, and Umbreon worked on mopping the floor while Chikorita and Quilava dusted.

It had been nine and a half months since King Samuel had given the Viridian City gym to his mother. They had been taking very good care of it and Harry enjoyed meeting all of the challengers and getting pointers from them.

He watched all of the gym matches and took notes on the way trainers did things. He also noted that his mother was a great gym leader and that everyone that challenged her had to come back at least three times.

Eventually, after she gave the trainers some pointers, they would win their earth badge.

Harry looked up to stare out of the windows above. He could see the crisp blue sky and knew that Autumn had already started despite that it didn't officially start until the twenty-first.

As he looked out of the window, he thought about the life he had after the Indigo League.

The minute he returned to the cottage, he called Professor Oak and had all of his Pokemon he had at the lab come to the forest. Then he signed up for school. A place Chikorita didn't like because it had to wait for Harry to come home and the homework took a lot of his time.

Harry also kept up with the promise and made sure he wrote both Ash and Misty letters. He phoned them every other day, wrote letters once a week sending pictures, and every two weeks he would go visit one of the towns, or Ash and Misty would visit him.

The last Harry heard of his two friends was three days ago. Ash had told Harry about all the projects he had been doing in school and Misty was telling him that she was about to go on vacation. She had said she needed one because her sisters were driving her crazy.

On the days he didn't have school, he would finish his chores around the house and at the gym. Then he would train his Pokemon before heading off to the town to find something to do, sometimes he would go deeper into the forest and battle with Tiff, who raised Butterfree.

Tiff's Butterfree, Freezie, had babies with Ash's Butterfree and Harry thought they were the cutest Caterpie he ever seen.

Sometimes Tiff would ask him to come over and help her feed all the Pokemon.

Harry heard from his father and godfather twice a month. They told him all about the gym battles they were having and about the Orre League. James and Sirius both wanted to compete, but they needed a total of ten badges. They had four.

It was like James and Sirius had started their journey over.

"Harry?" said a voice.

Harry looked around and saw that his mother had been watching him.

"Are you finished in here?" she asked. "I have to do some shopping for dinner, but I need you to feed all of the Pokemon."

"I can do that." said Harry.

"Thanks." said Lily. "The food is in the cupboard in the kitchen. Make sure you lock this place up when you leave."

"Okay."

Lily left the gym and Harry returned the broom and dust rags to the closet. He closed the door to the closet and turned to face his Pokemon.

"Come on, guys." he said. "Lunch time."

All of the Pokemon cheered.

Harry and his Pokemon left out of the gym closing the door behind him. He made sure the sign on the door said that they were closed and then showed the timetables for the gym.

Harry grabbed the key out of his pocket and locked the door. He pulled on the door checking to make sure it was properly locked. When he couldn't open the door, he placed the key back in his pocket and headed into the forest.

He went inside of the cottage and placed the key on the counter before going into the cupboard and pulling out a bag of Pokemon food. He placed it on a cart and placed a bunch of bowls on there besides it.

Harry wheeled the cart back outside and the Pokemon started to get excited. They started jumping around him trying to get at the food.

"Calm down." said Harry with a laugh. "There's more than enough food for everyone."

Harry whistled loudly and waited. A Sandshrew, Nidoran, Ponyta, and Pidgeotto came running towards him. They stopped besides the other Pokemon and looked up at Harry expecting food.

"Okay, let me get a count." said Harry kneeling and counting each Pokemon. "It's lunch for nine."

Harry pulled nine bowls off the cart and placed them on the floor. He filled the bowls up with food and stood up as the Pokemon gathered around the bowls and began to eat.

Harry was grateful that his mother's Pokemon were resting in the Pokemon Center after battling three opponents in a row. That's why the gym was closed, that and it was Saturday.

Harry went inside of the cottage and washed his hands before rummaging in the refrigerator for something to eat. He finally settled on making him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

He ate his sandwich and washed it down with a cold glass of milk. He then headed outside to feed the forest Pokemon.

He looked down at his Pokemon and saw that they were still eating. Everyone except Pidge.

"Hey, Pidge." said Harry. "Do you want to come with me to feed the rest of the Pokemon."

"Pidgeo Pidgeo." said Pidge nodding.

It flapped its wings and followed Harry as he pushed the cart deeper into the woods. Harry left food bowls where he knew the Pokemon would come and find them.

It took forty-five minutes to place food bowls all around the forest. They finally came to another cottage where a great smell was coming from. This was Tiff's house and judging from the smell, it was lunch time.

Harry walked over to the door and entered. He visited Tiff's house so much that Tiff told him that he could walk in any time he wanted.

When Harry entered the house, he could see a flock of Butterfree eating lunch in the living room. Tiff was sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of soup.

"Hi, Harry." she said without looking up.

"Hey." said Harry. "We were just in the forest feeding the Pokemon when we noticed the smell coming from your house."

Tiff chuckled. "Of course." she said.

She grabbed a nearby bowl and ladled some soup inside. She put a spoon inside and slid it across the table.

Harry sat down and started on the soup. Tiff was not only a great Butterfree trainer, but she was also a great cook. The soup was delicious.

"Have you spoken with Sirius lately?" she asked.

"Yeah." said Harry. "A few days ago. He's doing fine. They've won another badge."

"That's great." she said. "Did he, um…say anything about me?"

Harry opened his mouth to answer, but he heard a scream issue out of the forest. He looked out the window.

"What's wrong?" asked Tiff.

Harry looked back at her. "Did you hear that?" he asked.

Tiff gave him a confused look. "Hear what?" she asked. "I didn't hear anything."

Harry stood up. "Someone screamed."

"Screamed?"

"I'm going to go check it out." said Harry running over to the door. "Come on, Pidge."

Harry bounded out of the door and Pidge flew behind him. They ran until they reached the edge of the forest where the Beedrill lived.

Harry stopped when he saw the Beedrill circling around a tree. In the tree was a teenaged girl and her Pokemon. They all looked afraid.

Beedrill started charging towards the tree and the girl gave a high-pitched scream.

"We've got to do something." said Harry. "Pidge, gust attack!"

Pidge spun in a circle and created a huge gust of wind. It then stopped spinning and gave its wings a powerful flap sending the gust towards the Beedrill.

The Beedrill were all sucked inside and thrown all over the place as they were released from the gust attack.

"Great job, Pidge." said Harry. "Now let's go help that girl."

"Pidge."

Harry and Pidge hurried over to the tree to help the girl and Pokemon. Harry looked up in the tree and he recognized the girl immediately.

"Hermione?" he said.

The girl in the tree looked down. Her frightened face turned into joy when she saw Harry below.

"Harry, hi." she said happily. "How have you been? I'm so glad to see you."

"You can be glad once we get you out of that tree." said Harry.

Harry moved closer to the tree, but before he could help Hermione, he was tackled to the ground by a Beedrill. It raised its stinger and was about to attack.

"Look out," said Hermione. "It's going to use twin needle!"

Harry raised his hand and launched a flamethrower. It blasted Beedrill off of him and Beedrill crashed into a tree.

Three more Beedrill charged at Harry getting ready to use twin needle. They were coming so fast that Harry didn't have time to counter. He closed his eyes and waited the attack. But it didn't come.

He did however hear Pidge cry out in pain. He opened one of his eyes and the sight made him open the other eye.

Pidge was lying on the ground hurt. Harry watched as the bird struggled to get to its feet.

Harry was suddenly hit by a Beedrill's twin needle attack. Harry slid across the ground and stopped inches from a tree. Several more Beedrill flew towards Harry.

Harry extended a vine whip around the Beedrill that attacked him. The vine wrapped around the bug and Harry threw it at the three advancing Beedrill.

They all fell to the ground, but more were coming. One of them tried to use a tackle attack on Harry, but he jumped to the side avoiding the attack. He then launched a blue shadow ball at one of the Beedrill followed by a red one.

"Wow," said Hermione. "Harry, you've really learned to use your Poke-Power."

Several more Beedrill came at Harry and he quickly moved around the area confusing the Pokemon. He finally was close enough and Harry gave the Beedrill a powerful tackle attack.

"That quick attack was amazing." sighed Hermione.

Another Beedrill came in for a twin needle attack. Harry jumped into the air and cast a thunderbolt. The Beedrill fell to the ground and Harry landed next to his Pidgeotto.

Harry knelt down to help it up.

"Come on, Pidge." he said. "I need your--"

"PICHU!" cried Hermione.

Harry turned around and saw Beedrill flying off with Hermione's Pichu. Harry raised his hand and was about to stop it with a thunderbolt when he was hit in the head by Beedrill's tackle attack.

Harry fell to the ground with his head throbbing. Harry struggled to sit up, but he was attacked again by another Beedrill.

"Bulby," said Hermione. "Help him out!"

A pink Bulbasaur landed in front of Harry. It was the normal size of a Bulbasaur and had a green bulb like a Bulbasaur, but the body of it was pink.

"Use razor leaf." said Hermione.

"Bulbasaur!" said Bulby as series of razor leaves escaped from around its bulb.

The razor leaf hit several Beedrill. They all turned and started to fly away. The Beedrill that stole Pichu could still be seen in a distance.

Hermione jumped down from the tree and went to kneel besides Bulby.

"Great job, Bulby." said Hermione petting her Bulbasaur. Hermione turned to face Harry who was sitting up. "Are you alright?" she asked.

The side of Harry's head throbbed with pain and his vision was starting to blur. He hoped that he wasn't suffering from brain damage.

"We have to get your Pichu back." he said standing up and staggering a bit.

"I know, but how are we going to catch them?"

"Pidgeo!" said Pidge getting Harry and Hermione's attention.

Pidge was glowing white. It slowly began to grow larger as Pidge went through the evolution.

Pidge stopped glowing and a powerful Pidgeot was standing before them. Pidgeot was big enough to let Harry ride on its back.

"Wow." said Hermione. "A Pidgeot."

She pulled out her pink Pokedex and pointed it at Pidgeot.

"Pidgeot," it said. "Pidgeot is the finally evolution of Pidgey. Pidgeot flies over its wide territory in search of prey, downing it with its highly developed claws."

"Pidgeo Pidgeo Pidgeotto!" said Pidge rotating its wings.

"I think Pidge wants to go after Pichu." said Harry.

"Pidgeo." said Pidge motioning Harry to climb onto its back.

"Let's go." said Harry rushing forward and climbing on Pidge's back.

Hermione put her Pokedex away and returned the rest of her Pokemon in their Pokeballs. She climbed onto Pidge's back and placed her hands around Harry's waist. Harry held on tight to the back of Pidge's neck.

"Okay, Pidge," said Harry. "Let's fly."

"Pidgeo!" said Pidge flapping its powerful wings.

Pidge flew into the air and chased after the Beedrill that had stolen Pichu. Pidge dodged through the many Beedrill that were flying. They tried to attack the bird, but Pidge knew that it didn't have time to fight, so it dodged the bugs by spinning and swerving out of the way.

"Pidge, we have to catch up to Pichu." said Harry.

"Pidgeo!" said Pidge speeding up.

Pidge quickly caught up with the Beedrill. Beedrill turned around and began to panic at the sight of Pidge.

"Pichu Pichu!" cried Pichu.

"Don't worry, Pichu." said Hermione. "We'll save you!"

Harry extended one of his hands and sent a vine whip towards Pichu. It wrapped around the little mouse and pulled it right out of Beedrill's grip.

"Drill?" said Beedrill turning around.

Harry pulled Pichu to him and held it in his arms. He then passed the Pokemon over to Hermione who hugged it close to her while keeping one hand on Harry's waist.

"Now, Pidge, quick attack!"

"Pidg-otto!" said Pidge as it sped towards Beedrill leaving a streak of wind behind it.

Pidge crashed into the Beedrill knocking it down. Beedrill hit the ground and remained motionless.

"Pidge sure is powerful." said Hermione looking down at the ground at the Beedrill.

"Isn't it great?" said Harry.

"Pidgeo!" answered Pidge.

"Let's get home!"

Pidge turned and headed in the direction Harry's cottage was in. Pidge landed on the ground in front of the cottage. Harry climbed off of Pidge's back and helped Hermione down. The other Pokemon rushed over to them.

"Okay, guys." said Harry trying to calm his excited Pokemon down. "It's alright. I'm alright."

"You sure do have a lot of Pokemon." said Hermione. She spotted Umbreon and knelt down to pet it on top of the head. "Hi, Umbreon. Remember me?"

"Umbreon." said Umbreon happily.

"You want to come in for some lunch?" asked Harry.

"No thanks." said Hermione. "I already had lunch with Draco."

"Okay. How about some tea then?"

"Sure."

Harry invited Hermione and Pichu inside of the house and made all three of them a steaming hot cup of tea. They settled down at the table and started to sip the hot tea.

"So you already know Draco?" asked Harry taking a sip of tea.

"Yes," answered Hermione. "He saved me from a Fearow. Then he gave me his tickets for a boat ride to Volencia Island."

"Really?" said Harry in surprise. "You have tickets to Volencia Island!?"

"Yeah. He said that he couldn't go because he had to take care of the gym for his parents and the tickets were going to expire soon."

"What great luck." said Harry putting his cup down. "I wish I was going."

"I have an idea." said Hermione. "Why don't you come with me. There're two tickets."

"I don't know." said Harry. "I'm not sure if my mom would let me go."

"Let you go to what?" asked Lily as the front door opened. Lily came inside holding two bulging grocery bags. "Hello." she said when she spotted Hermione. "And who are you?"

"Sorry, ma'am." said Hermione standing up. "My name's Hermione Granger. I'm a friend of your son's." She held out an hand.

Lily placed the bags on the counter and shook Hermione's hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." she said. She looked over at Harry. "What were you saying, Harry?"

Hermione looked over at Harry and saw that he was refusing to say something so Hermione spoke up for him.

"I have two tickets to go to Volencia Island and Harry was wondering if it was alright if he came with me."

Lily began rummaging through the bags and extracting some of the groceries. She pondered over the question. Should she let her twelve-year-old son go over to the Orange Islands?

"What about your schooling?" asked Lily. "You can only be excused from school if you're planning to compete in a league or contest."

"It's only for three days and two nights." said Hermione. "I promise to have Harry back here Tuesday night."

"Please, mom." pleaded Harry. "I've always wanted to go."

Lily smiled. "Alright." said Lily. "But I want you to be careful."

Harry and Hermione began to cheer.

"You best get ready." said Lily. "You'll have to pack and decide which Pokemon you're going to take with you."

Harry ran over to his mother and gave her a hug. He always wanted to go visit one of the Orange Islands and with all the work he had been doing, he needed a vacation.
