Chapter 2: Pokémon - I Choose You!

I do not own Harry Potter or Pokémon

After leaving the Dursleys, Harry and Hagrid traveled to the harbor where a ferry was there to take them to the mainland. Along the way Harry was thinking about all that was happening so far.

"'arry are you all right" Hagrid asked concern written on his face.

"Yes Hagrid" harry said, "it's just I don't understand what's going on. First thing I know I'm stuck in the cupboard as usual wondering when I'll be feed, then the next minute this man comes in and says he's there to rescue me and I just want answers "

During this Hagrid was growling in angry, an angry directed at the Dursleys Harry thought, than said "It's horrible how they treated you, expressly when Dumbledore trusted them with you. I don't doubt you have questions so I will answer them. I bet the first is where we're going."

Harry only nodded not wanting Hagrid change his mind. "We are going to the region known as Thrylos, where you will be going to Hogwarts so you can learn how to be a Pokémon trainer."

"Hagrid what is a Pokémon?" Harry asked "And why aren't haven't I seen any one before?"

Hagrid's first response was to call out Fang. "You see 'arry Pokémon are majestic creatures that roam our world." Hagrid said "You see many people see them as pets or as companions. Now for your second question you haven't seen any because Little Whinging is made by those that refuse to coexist with Pokémon out of fear."

Harry could only listen to Hagrid's explanations about Pokémon and Little Whinging. "Hagrid, how many Pokémon are there and what kind of Pokémon is Fang?"

"Well last I checked around seven hundred different" Hagrid stated, "Fang is a Granbull which is a evolved form of another Pokémon called Snubull"

"Snub, Bull, Snu" Fang seemed to say

"Yes you are the best Snubull." Hagrid said

"Attention passengers we are about to dock in Diagon City" the Captain said over the intercom.

"Hagrid what's Diagon city?" Harry asked

"It's the capital of the Thrylos region," Hagrid said

~SA~SA~SA~

After the ferry docked, Hagrid began leading Harry into the city. "Come along 'arry first stop is the Gringotts bank to get your money."

"I have money?" Harry stated in shock

"Yes quite a lot from your parents" Hagrid said sadly

While walking Harry decided to look around. He saw many people with what he thought were Pokémon. He could see children playing with a cream-colored cat with a coin on the forehead. Harry could also see a couple of Pokémon moving furniture into a house.

"Machoke, choke" they were saying.

"'ere we are 'arry this is Gringotts" Hagrid said. Harry could only look at the building in disbelief. It was a large building with a gold coin on the building. After walking in Harry could see that men as tall as him ran the bank. They all had black hair and goatees.

"Hagrid who are these people?" Harry asked

"These are the Collins, their job is to run the banks around the region." Hagrid said "Don't mention anything about their height, they have a much larger temper."

"Next" one of the tellers said to Hagrid and Harry. "Name?"

"His name is Harry Potter. He needs access to his money. This is his first year at Hogwarts" Hagrid said. This made the teller look up.

"Does Mr. Potter know the restrictions on the credit card for first years?" this got a shake from the both of them. "OK restrictions include you can only buy basic Pokeballs, you can only buy basic Potions, you have the limit of two escape ropes; no bikes or roller-skates until second year. Lets see you can buy your Hogwarts uniform and any other clothes you need. Last your parents paid money early for a starter from Ollivanders. You may customize your Pokedex as you like."

After the explanation Harry and Hagrid left to get his supplies. The first stop was Madam Malkin's Custom Cloths. Harry got fourteen pairs of jeans, five grey Hogwarts shirts, and two Hogwarts jackets one for winter the other for warmer months. Harry also got a few red t-shits, some green t-shirts, and several sweaters for winter.

Next at Flourish and Blotts a store that sells gear to Pokémon trainers Harry got a red and black backpack (which to his shock could shrink his clothes and other gear so it doesn't feel heavy), Harry also got five pokeballs and five potions. He also got his pokedex and decided to give it a black cover with a red lightning bolt.

While walking out of the store Hagrid suddenly stopped. "'arry I remembered something I need to do for Dumbledore. Can you go on without me? You won't miss Ollivanders when you see it."

Harry was nervous of Hagrid leaving being left by the Dursleys before but also excited to get his first Pokémon so he nodded yes and continued to Ollivanders. It didn't take him long to find the store. It was a large building that looked like it would be a hotel instead of a store on the door was a pokeball surrounded by eggs of different colors.

After walking in Harry could see many selves filled with different kinds of pokeballs. Harry had to wonder if this was a library before someone went mad and decided to sell Pokémon.

"Well if it isn't Harry Potter," a voice said. Turning to the source Harry found a man with long white hair, winkled clothes and a mad expression on his face. This was probably the owner of Ollivanders

'I get the feeling I was right about him going mad' Harry thought

"I remember when your mother came for her first Pokémon" the man said, "Oh I'm Mr. Ollivander by the way. Anyway she got a Fennekin, female, shy at first but became braver and stronger much like your mother."

Harry remained silent wanting to hear about his parents and their Pokémon. "Your father on the other hand caught his first Pokémon, a Shinx I believe, like most of the more Powerful families." Mr. Ollivander said "However you are here your first so lets begin."

He then gave a pokeball to Harry saying "Ponyta male, Bold" Suddenly Harry dropped the ball due to it burning in his hand. "No not that" Mr. Ollivander said "lets try Mareep female, timid" Then he handed another ball.

Harry had to let go when he felt a shock come from the ball. Mr. Ollivander only shook "Not that either huh. You seem like a challenge Mr. Potter but fear not for I have never backed down before."

After ten minutes Harry had gone through a dozen Pokémon and none were right for him Mr. Ollivander was starting to look like he was in deep thought when he said, "I have one more to show you. I think you two might be destined to be partners."

He left for a few seconds, coming back with a pokeball giving it to Harry. No sooner did it enter his hand it exploded into a flash of light. Suddenly it became a small creature with bushy brown fur, brown eyes, and long pointed ears.

"Eevee" the creature said jumping into Harry's arms.

"Yes I figured you be perfect partners" said Mr. Ollivander "Now be careful Eevee is a very rare Pokémon and many will want to take him from you,"

This made Harry hold Eevee even closer. Harry always had anything he had taken away and now his first Pokémon was in danger. "Sir can I truly be trusted with him"

"Mr. Potter" Mr. Ollivander began "the last Eevee I gave happened to be this ones father, and in the hands of his trainer they became a very powerful team."

~SA~SA~SA~

After leaving Ollivanders with Eevee on his shoulder, Harry ran into Hagrid. "'ello 'arry I see you got your new Pokémon. I prefer cute Pokémon like Fang but he seems like a good fit for you. Now there are only a couple of hours before your train leaves so lets go to the station now"

So they began to head to the Diagon station for the start of a new beginning.

Now before anyone gets mad the reason for Harry getting an Eevee is because Eevee is known for being very adaptable and that's going to be a part of Harry's personality.

Now we know about James and Lilly's first Pokémon being Shinx and Fennekin respectively. Both of their Pokémon teams will be explained more as time goes on.
