Pokemon Wizard

By James The Fox

"… You all like it."

Shadow: (Smirking triumphantly) "I told you so."

"… I like it too. I WANT to continue it."

Inner-James: "Knew you would."

"… Swwweeeeet."

Mudora (GoW): "Yet another fanfic arrives on this world at the insane whim of my creator."

"Yep. On to the Fic!"

Notes: Same formats as last chapter apply here.


It was dawn in the Hoenn-Orre Ocean, and yet there were Pokemon floating around. Chinchou were floating, their nightly lightshow ending as the sun rose. All was calm, save for one thing. Swimming in the ocean was a large blue whale of a Pokemon, a Wailord. Normally, this wouldn't be so strange, but atop this Pokemon were two small tents and a two people. One was the Pokemon's trainer, a young redheaded woman with her hair in a side-ponytail. She wore a yellow tank top and shorts, and was currently eating her breakfast, a small serving of bread and fruit.

The other person was also a trainer, this time a boy, who was currently sitting nearer to the front end of the whale Pokemon than the woman. He wore a short-sleeved green hooded jacket with pouches on the sleeves, similarly colored pants with pouches on the legs. He looked at the ocean with gentle emerald eyes hidden behind glasses. Dozing next to him was a Pokemon by the name of Ralts.

"Hey," The boy asked.

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for the ride."

"Oh, it's nothing. There are still a few days before we reach the Kanto Region."

"Yeah, I know…" The boy replied, absently rubbing the egg in a container in his lap.

"So, what's in the egg?"

"Don't know. It's a special delivery to Prof. Elm, though. Top priority."

"Then why'd you call in a favor instead of getting on the ferry?"

"I was attacked on the way to Gateon Port. I get the feeling that the people were after this egg, so I didn't want to risk being on a ship that they could get on or trace. They're probably waiting for me in Olivine City…"

"Good point." The woman ran her hands through her hair as she walked up next to him. "What're you going to do when you get to Kanto?"

"I already called your husband." The boy said, grinning. "He and Lugia are going to drop me off in Goldenrod City. From there, it's just a simple ride on a rental bike to New Bark Town. It will take a while longer than Professor Elm might like, but he understands."

"Good to hear." The girl said. "You know, at your age, I wasn't anywhere near as organized as you are."

"You had the organization to be a good Gym Leader."

"Yeah, but you run your own business delivering eggs everywhere."

"… Yeah, that does take some organization!" The child laughed.

"… Beautiful, isn't it?"

"Hm?"

"The ocean, it's gorgeous at this time of morning."

"… Yeah." The boy smiled, glancing out towards the sunrise. "The beginning of a new day…"


Professor Oak of Pallet Town gasped as he heard a familiar sound that he hadn't heard in thirty years. The fireplace roared to life as his old friend, Prof. Dumbledore of the Wizarding World, showed his face in the flames. The old man ran up to Dumbledore, looking his old friend in the eye.

"I was wondering where you've been. I thought you'd died," The old man said. It was true. He had missed the call he always made every 5 years 6 times in a row, after all.

"Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to have pleasant chat. Tell me, how have things been on your end?"

"Busy, but pleasant. Twenty years ago, one of my students, a boy by the name of Ash Ketchum fulfilled a centuries-old prophecy. He kept the balance of Nature and saved our world from itself. He's gone on to do a great number of things. Why, just thirteen years ago, he became recognized as Global Champion in the Master League."

"The tournament between the best of the best… You must be proud, Samuel."

"Yes. His mother is as well. He's become officially the leader of the Elite Four and is living a good life with his wife in Cerulean City… Oh, but that's not all that's happened. I swear… A few years back, a young boy was found in the Lost Cave of Chrono Island. He has no memories of his life before then, but he looked like he had met a wild Primeape… But I digress. How about you? What's been keeping you?"

"War, unfortunately. One of my students, Tom Riddle, fell down the road to evil and went on a reign of terror. It was only recently that he was stopped… But I get the feeling that he isn't dead yet… Aside form that, the one who stopped him disappeared a while back…" The wizard sighed. "I made a foolish mistake, and I am afraid that this boy has paid the price for it… We have yet to find him, even after seven years…"

"Seven years?!" Oak said, startled. "… Tell me, what was the boy's name?"

"Harry Potter. Why?"

"Harry… Potter? You're certain?" Oak said. Dumbledore nodded. "Albus… The boy I mentioned earlier… The one who appeared in the Lost Cave… All he can remember is a name: Harry Potter. Do you think that-" The flames erupted even more at this as Dumbledore, shocked, came all the way through to the Pokemon World.

"Where is he?" Dumbledore asked. Oak smiled. "He's been living with Professor Conifer of the Sevii Islands, but he left a year ago to become a Pokemon Trainer. However, he constantly checks in with her. Let's see if she knows anything." With that, Samuel Oak ran to his computer and called Professor Cath Conifer. After a few desperate moments, the woman's face appeared.

"Samuel! It's god to see you again. How've you been?"

"Good, but now's not the time for formalities. Cath, have you recently heard from Harry?"

"Yes, actually, a week ago. He was a little scratched up, but he was leaving the Orre Region by Wailord. He's currently making his way to New Bark Town."

"Scratched up?" Oak asked, an eyebrow raised.

"CIPHER was after the egg he went to Orre to retrieve."

"Ah… Do you know when he'll arrive in New Bark?"

"Unless he runs into trouble, Harry will likely reach Prof. Elm's lab in about half a day. Why?"

"Cath… I just found out who he is and where he's from."

"WHAT!?" Conifer fell out of the chair she had been sitting in.

"I met someone who knew Harry from before he lost his memories. We don't know for sure how it was that he ended up in the Lost Cave, but I have a friend who knows everything about him from before."

"I swear to Arceus, if this is some kind of joke, Sam… I will MURDER you." She said, pulling on a traveling coat.

"Where are you going?" Oak queried.

"Where else? I want the full story. After all, for the past seven years, Harry might as well have been my son. I'm going to be there to hear what your friend has to say, damnit!" She replied as she attached an Ultra Ball, Lure Ball, and Quick Ball to her belt. "And if it turns out he's responsible for the boy being in the condition I found him, he better run like a herd of Rhyperior was on his ass, because I won't stop till Cadiii hits him with Hyper Beam!" She turned off the display and Oak peered at Dumbledore.

"… I hope you didn't do anything that would have resulted in Harry being seriously hurt," He said as he pulled out his traveling coat and a Pokeball. "I'm sure Ash won't mind if I use one of his Pokemon…"

"…" Dumbledore's silence was deafening as they left the lab.

"If you did, you should go back to the Wizarding World." Oak continued as he released a Pidgeot from the Pokeball.

"I can't do that," Dumbledore insisted. "I must bring Harry back to the world he was born in… He has to know what he is, before he loses control of his magical power."

"… You must be insane…" Oak sighed. "She WILL kill you, if she finds any reason to."

"I'll take that chance," said Dumbledore as he and Oak boarded the large, powerful bird Pokemon, which upon Oak's orders took off towards New Bark Town...


Harry was about ready to kiss the ground he stood on after landing in Goldenrod City.

"You know, Harry, I don't think that's sanitary," Ash Ketchum, Leader of the Elite Four and greatest trainer in the world, commented.

Not the smartest thing to do… His Pikachu laughed at Harry's antics.

"I mean, they clean the streets every day, but lot's of city Pokemon walk around, and…" Harry promptly got of the ground, grasping his neck as he coughed and gagged. After that, Harry bowed to Ash.

"Thanks for the trip."

"No problem. If you ever need anything, call me!" Ash said as he got on the Lugia he had met in the Orange Islands. As they flew off, Harry headed for the nearby Cycle Shop to get a rental…


Oak and Dumbledore landed in New Bark Town and knocked on Elm's door.

"Harry?" The professor asked.

"No, Oak. And I've brought a friend." Elm opened the door, gasping at the sight of Dumbledore.

"Hey, isn't he a…" Elm started, staring at Dumbledore's clothing.

"Yes. He's a wizard, and he knows Harry. In fact, he came all the way here to see him. I take it he hasn't arrived?" Oak whispered. Stumbling, Elm opened the door fully and let the two in. The next few minutes were in silence, but suddenly there was a harsh rapping on the door. Oak and Elm exchanged glances and played Rock-Paper-Scissors. Elm lost, and walked up to the door and opened it. Conifer walked in, looking tense. That intensity only grew for the next few minutes until it finally burst.

"Where IS he? He should have been here by now!" She screeched, and Dumbledore got the impression that if she could, she would have been breathing fire. She ranted for a few more minutes, using swear words both Universal and Pokemon-world exclusive, until an earthquake occurred several miles away, shaking the house.

"That's odd… This place isn't well known for earthquakes," Oak mused.

"Yeah, but there aren't any trainers around here right now that has a Pokemon with an attack of that level…" Elm narrowed his eyes. "But Harry's Tyrogue has Earthquake."

"That settles it. I don't think I've ever known Harry to stop in the middle of a delivery for any casual battle. Professor Elm, do you have any Pokemon that can get us to the source of that attack?" Cath asked.

"I do have a few…"

"Alright! Let's get a move on!" Cath roared, causing Elm to scramble for his Pokeballs. A few seconds later, they were off, Oak and Dumbledore riding an Arcanine while Elm and Conifer rode a Rapidash.


Ughh! Tyrogue groaned as he hit the ground, wincing at the cracking sound near his leg. A few feet away from him, his opponent was getting closer… He had always been proud of his fighting strength, and he had always known very powerful attacks… But this Pokemon was something else… When it had come out, Harry's eyes had widened in shock, and Tyrogue could feel that there was something off with this one… They both knew, without ever seeing one before, that this was a Shadow Pokemon. Plus, it was much more powerful in the first place. The Marowak raised its club, knowing that there was no hope for the fighting-type.

"You're the famous Harry Potter? Tch, some trainer you turned out to be. Now, give me that egg, and I might leave one of your Pokemon in your possession." The Marowak's trainer, a man wearing the usual uniform of the CIPHER organization, smirked at Tyrogue's trainer, a human by the name of Harry Potter. His other Pokemon, Ralts, stood in front of Harry, ready to fight should the Pokemon or Trainer make any move towards his trainer/parent/friend. After all, such was the nature of Ralts and its line. To protect the Trainer, no matter what.

Looking at the brave little Pokemon that had been with him all of its life, Harry bit his lips. How had he been so foolish? When they had attacked last time, they hadn't specifically meant to capture him. He looked at the small, almost unnoticeable chip that had been discreetly attached to one of his pant legs. They had been tracking him…

"So, what's it gonna be, kid? Either way, I get what I want… None of your Pokemon could ever beat my Marowak." He bragged, stretching his arms out as if to shrug. "And that one right there ain't looking so hot." He pointed to Tyrogue, whose eyes were squeezed tight in pain.

"…"

"HARRY!" The year-long trainer turned his head in time to see a Fire Blast come out of the nearby forest, hitting the Marowak and knocking it to the ground. Out of the trees came a Rapidash and an Arcanine. The fire-types came to a halt next to Harry, and he inwardly screamed with relief as Prof. Conifer, Oak, Elm, and an old man he didn't know got off the trusty Pokemon. The old man muttered in a strange tongue while pointing a stick at the Shadow Pokemon, and it instantly froze up, becoming as stiff as a board. The CIPHER Grunt returned the ground-type, but as he was about to leave, the old man waved his stick again, and the Pokeball flew straight out of his hands and into the old man, alongside three other Pokeballs. The man then performed the same trick he had done with Marowak on the criminal, trapping him. Harry ran up to Tyrogue and instantly began following the procedure for applying first aid to a Pokemon with broken bones.

"It's all right, Tyrogue, you did great, especially against such odds." Harry said as he finished up.

Hey, don't you go patronizing me. A loss is a loss. This means that I've still got to train harder… The 'baby' fighting-type Pokemon closed his eyes and turned its head away, crossing his arms stubbornly like a guy trying and failing to be cool. Ralts carefully used his psychic powers to carry his fallen comrade and 'brother.' Harry, meanwhile, walked alongside the floating Pokemon and applied medicine from his bag to stop the bleeding. The old man walked up to Harry, and smiled, as though looking at a long lost friend.

"Harry…"

"Yeah, that's me." The trainer's eyes glanced into the sparkling blue eyes of the older man. "Not to sound ungrateful, but who are you?" He asked, keeping both the injured Pokemon to his left and the Pokemon Egg he had left on the ground a good distance away in sight.

"My name is Albus Dumbledore," The old man replied, the same kind smile still on his face.

"That's an interesting name… But I have a Pokemon to treat, and I don't have time to talk with someone… But again, thanks for helping out. I don't think I would have gotten out of that alive if you hadn't shown up." He turned away, returning to tending to Tyrogue.

The next few minutes were spent with Ralts carefully setting Tyrogue upon the back of Ash's Pidgeot and tying him down so that the fighting-type wouldn't fall off. After that, Pidgeot flew the younger Pokemon back to New Bark's Pokemon Center. Harry picked up the egg and boarded the bike. Oak and Conifer rode atop Rapidash.

"I guess all that's left is to hope for the best…"


"How is he?… That's wonderful! Thanks a lot, Nurse Joy! Tell him that I'll see him soon!... Bye!" Harry put down the phone and turned to the professors. "He's hurt pretty bad, but he'll be okay in a week!" He threw a fist into the air in his excitement. "Oh yeah!" Ralts mimicked the movement at the same time.

Oh yeah! That's Tyrogue for you! The ultimate stubborn punk!

"That's great news, Harry!" Oak stated, shaking his head in an amused manner at the child's excitement.

"Yeah. So, Professor Elm, what was so important about that egg, anyway?"

"Well, it appeared in Agate Village, which makes it special in two ways. One, no one in the Orre Region has ever seen an Egg before, except from being brought over by trainers, like you yourself have done before, or by trainers breeding their Pokemon. Two… You know the legends surrounding Agate Village."

"… You think it might be a Celebi Egg," Harry said, glancing at the egg that rested just a few feet from them on an incubator. It was pulsing and making odd sounds, hinting that it was about to hatch. "That's… that's unheard of. I'm not exactly an expert on Pokemon Mythology, but only a handful of Legendary Pokemon come from Eggs, and I don't think Celebi's not one of them."

"That's where you're wrong," Professor Conifer said. "Have I taught you nothing? All Pokemon have been known to come from eggs. The legends even state that Arceus came from one. Manaphy has been confirmed several times over to come from an egg, too. It's not impossible that other Legendary Pokemon come from eggs, too."

"You've got a point…" Harry's musings were cut off as the egg gave a particularly bright shine and started to crack. Instantly, the building was pure chaos.

"Oh, for the love of Dialga! Why now? Who's it going to bond to?" Elm panicked

"Shit! We didn't even think about that!" Cath swore.

"… Well, how about Harry?" Everyone turned to Dumbledore, who had been quiet up to this point. "After all, it was he and his Pokemon that risked their lives to get it here." He smiled, the blue eyes twinkling. The egg started to hatch as Harry picked it up. In one great show of light, the egg was blown away, revealing the Pokemon, which opened its eyes, slowly awakening into the world of light, finally resting its eyes on a living life form… and smacked Harry's face with its flailing tail as the Magikarp jumped into Dumbledore's arms.

Mom Mom Mom Mom… The red Pokemon repeated over and over again.

"… A Magikarp… Well… That was anticlimactic," Harry muttered. Dumbledore, under Elm's suggestion, captured the fish Pokemon. "And I expected at least something like a Skarmory… Ah well." He sighed, snapping his fingers. "Moving on... Mr. Dumbledore, I never did ask your reason for being here. Same goes for Professor Oak and Cath. Not that I'm not happy, but I'd kinda like to know why you all were waiting for me…"

Oak and Dumbledore exchanged glances. "Well…" Oak started. "You might want to sit down and get something to drink… This may take a while…"

Harry shrugged. "Sure, but I need to make a call first…"


"So, Misty, where do you want to go tonight?" Ash asked.

"I don't know… I did hear about this new one and-" Misty's reply was cut off by an explosion.

"Prep-" Began a voice from the dust cloud that was thrown up.

"Oh, shut it," Ash said, walking past the clouds with a dismissive gesture. Why do you always insist on saying your motto whenever you appear?"

"Because we want to!" A whiney voice called out.

"… Uh huh… What are you all up to nowadays, anyway, 'Team Righteous?'" Ash asked, using the group's new name.

"We heard from our sources that CIPHER is after a certain child because they might be escorting a Celebi Egg-nya." A cat-like Pokemon said from between two white-clothed adults.

"Oh, you mean Harry? We just heard from him. He made it, egg in tow, to New Bark Town, where he was headed."

"WHAT?!" The owner of the whiney voice was revealed to be a blue-medium-length-haired man. Standing next to him was a woman with long red hair. Between them, a cat-like Pokemon stood on two legs.

"Yeah, he called me just five minutes ago." Ash said, putting his hand up to his ear in a 'phone shape.' "His Tyrogue was hurt, but he'll be fine... Anyway, we need to go. Misty made me PROMISE her that we'd have some personal time tonight." Ash was quickly hit over the head by the redhead.

"What was that?"

"Uh… Er… What I meant to say was that I wanted to treat Misty to dinner tonight. You know, romantic music, all that…" He scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Pikachu laughed, looking at the Meowth.

Ash really is a pushover when it comes to Misty, isn't he?

"That he is, Pikachu, that he is-nya."


"Well, that concludes this chapter. This chapter had an appearance from several of the Pokemon Anime Characters. This is mostly because… Well, in my eyes, the anime wasn't that bad, until the Orange Islands arc ended. After that, it kinda burned out. However, if anyone in charge of the Pokemon Anime is reading, please, at least try these steps to revive it:

1: Just make Ash Pokemon Master, and end it already! After more than 500 episodes, anyone would be tired of watching Ash.

2: Use a different series of characters as the protagonists. My suggestion: Wes from Pokemon Coliseum.

3: New, more competent villains. Keep Team Rocket if you must; just throw a more awesome team into the mix, like CIPHER. And no motto for them, PLEASE.

4: Don't completely butcher the story of each Japanese episode. I understand that more American audiences are more 'sensitive' and intolerant of more complex, adult themes on a kids show. However, many of the fans of the original Pokemon anime are now reaching/have reached adulthood, and likely are annoyed with the childish themes. This goes for many other Anime, too. I'm glaring at you, 4-Kids, by the by.

There. Rant time over."

Manaphy: "Rant! Cool!"

Harry: "… That was excessive."
