Author's Note: Oh. My. God. The world is ending! I finally updated! Run for your lives! (Hides under rock until he notices the sky isn't falling.) Huh. I didn't notice. Anyways, after a lot of talking with a friend about Harry's Pokémon team, and my personal life getting in the way of writing until now, I was finally able to write another chapter. In fact, I think this is the longest chapter I've ever written. Also, I have four of Harry's Pokémon decided, but his entire Kanto team is nothing more than a mere memory now. No Eevee, no Pikachu, no Charmander, nothing. But, I still haven't thought of the last two Pokémon for his team yet, and I'm wanting one of them to be a flying type. If you guys have any suggestions, I'm all for them. Just GIVE me a REASON WHY he should have that Pokémon. Also, I have chapter to my other main two fics in the works, so hopefully I can get those out soon. Either way, onto the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or Harry Potter. If I did, then there would be a Light type instead of Fairy, and Harmony would be a canon thing.
"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off -"
"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!"
"Stand aside you silly girl … stand aside now."
"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead - "
"Not Harry! Please … have mercy … have mercy… " A bright green light enveloped his vision, but a bright pink light became apparent as well, completely taking over the green light. While this was happening, a deep, dark laughter was resonating with a woman's screams, before the screams were cut off, and the laughter turned to agonized cries.
Harry awoke with a gasp. Every night since he came to the world of Pokémon, he had had that dream, and it always ended with the deep voice yelling in pain, and a bright pink light. When he woke up, there were always tears on his face. Groaning, he rolled onto his side to look at the alarm clock, and he could blurrily make out the numbers 6:00 A.M.
"Why do I have that dream every night?" He muttered, grabbing his new glasses, before climbing out of bed. Stretching to crack his back, he looked over at the two eggs swaddled in a nest of blankets before going back to sleep. One was almost completely white, except for the top part, which was blue with two ovals. The other was dark blue, which slowly transitioned to a dark purple as it got closer to the center, which was almost black from how dark it was.
After a quick breakfast of Oran Berry pancakes when he woke back up, Harry quickly got dressed in the new outfit that Mrs. Ketchum made for him, which consisted of a gray t-shirt with a yellow Pokéball insignia on the front, a blue hoodie with yellow accents, black cargo pants, black fingerless gloves, and blue, yellow, and black tennis shoes. He gathered his eggs in his arms before shouting a quick goodbye to Mrs. Ketchum and hurrying out the door. He ran over to the lab as quickly as he could, not noticing when he passed a teenager with black hair wearing a white-and-light-blue jacket with a Pikachu on his shoulder. Once he arrived at the lab, he rang the doorbell and waited for Professor Oak to come and get the door for him, which wasn't long.
"Good morning Harry, I was just about to tell Alexa here about the work you've been helping Tracey and I with lately," Professor Oak said, gesturing to a person behind him that Harry hadn't noticed. When he did notice, he ducked behind Professor Oak, and peeked around him to look at the person. It was a woman in her early twenties, wearing a long sleeved shirt that was brown at the top and pink at the bottom, with white fabric flaring out at her collar and at the ends of her sleeves. She was also wearing grey pants, brown boots, and a fanny pack that sat over the back of her legs. On top of her fanny pack was a Pokémon he hadn't seen before, which looked similar to a lizard from his homeworld. It was yellow and black, with two black frills growing out of its head. (A.N: Okay, if you can't tell by now, I did my best to describe Alexa and Helioptile. Don't kill me for my crap descriptions please.)
"N-n-nice t-to meet you , M-m-ms. Alexa," Harry stuttered, before ducking back behind the professor. Alexa smiled, before moving closer to Harry and holding out her hand.
"It's nice to meet you too Harry. Say, why don't you go outside and play with my friend Helioptile?" She asked, letting the Generator Pokémon crawl onto her arm where it sat looking nervously at Harry. Laying down his eggs, he held a trembling hand out to the nervous Pokémon, which looked at it for minute, before slowly waddling onto it and giving Harry a big smile. Harry gasped, before giving Alexa a big smile of his own.
*Scene Change*
We are now joined by our other hero, Ash Ketchum, who had spotted both his house and Mr. Mime, who was sweeping the road in front of his house, and was running towards it as fast as he could.
"Hey! Mr. Mime!" Ash yelled, Pikachu yelling with him.
"Mr. Mime!" Mr. Mime shouted, before opening the door to the house, " Mime, Mr. Mime!"
"Mom, I'm home!" Ash yelled, Pikachu having jumped off of his shoulder and onto Mr. Mime's head when they entered, "Good to see you Mr. Mime, how've you been?"
"Mime Mime!" Just then, Mrs. Ketchum walked into the living room from the kitchen.
"Welcome home, Ash!" She said, a large smile on her face. Ash turned to look at her.
"Good to see you Mom." He said, walking over to give her a hug, but stopping when she held a hand out expectantly.
"Your backpack?" She asked, prompting a small 'Huh' from Ash before he started to take it off. "You must have clothes to wash." Placing it on the floor and opening it, he started digging around for his dirty clothes bag, which drew an observant look from Delia as she watched. "You've been giving it your all. I can tell by your backpack." Ash laughed, before beginning to stand up.
"I gave it my best shot, but I didn't quite win the Unova League.." Ash said, before handing off his bag with a 'Here you go.'
"Well, you can tell me all about that later on. But right now, go wash your hands." Delia said with her hands on her hips.
"You got it Mom." Ash said, walking off towards the bathroom. Delia watched him walk away with a smile, although that was quickly replaced with a frown.
'How am I going to tell him about Harry?' She wondered. 'I think I'll do it over brunch.' With her course of action planned, she walked into the kitchen to begin some fried rice and some hot tea.
*A Few Minutes Later*
After explaining some of his recent adventures, Ash sat at the kitchen table, sipping at a hot cup of sweet tea his mom gave him while Delia was at the stove, working on some fried rice for the both of them.
"So, Alexa went to Professor Oak's lab?" She asked, getting a noise of confirmation from Ash. "Tonight, I'm inviting Alexa and Professor Oak here for a real home-cooked meal. It will only be the best for such important guests."
"Mhm." Ash said, before taking a sip of his tea. Mrs. Ketchum served the rice onto a plate and gave it to Ash before taking a seat across from him.
"Now, I know you must want to go and see your Pokémon, but there's something important I have to talk to you about." She said, drawing a curious glance from Ash before he could take a bite.
"What is it Mom?" He asked, setting his fork down. Mrs. Ketchum could only sigh, however, before looking away into the living room.
"About a month ago, in the middle of the day, I was making lunch to take to the Professor and Tracey, and Mimey was polishing your badges. All of a sudden, Mimey came running into the kitchen, trying to show me something important. I, of course, followed him into the living room. However, I never expected to see what I saw that day." She explained.
"What was it Mom?" Ash asked, hanging onto every word as he slowly ate his rice.
"It was Mew, and with it was a young boy, younger than you by a few years, and two Pokémon eggs." Her words made Ash blink once...twice...then:
"WHAAAAAAT!?" He shouted, simultaneously standing up in shock and making Pikachu and Mr. Mime look over at him from where they were playing.
"It's true. If you look in the guest bedroom, you can see the blanket nest he made for the eggs." She said.
"Mom, it's not that I don't believe you, but why would Mew come to you in the middle of the day with a boy and some eggs?" Ash asked, sitting back down in his seat. When Mrs. Ketchum was about to continue, tears started to form and threatened to fall.
"To ask me to take care of him. Ash, this child was covered in blood all over his body. And it wasn't a Pokémon that caused it. It was his own family. Mew had shown me the memories of his life." Delia said, before a heavy flow of tears started falling. "His family were monsters. The things I saw them do to him, the things Mew showed me, I don't think even Team Rocket would do to anyone." She finished, before putting her hands on her face to help control her sobs.
"Mom, listen to me. Have you been taking care of him to the best of your abilities?" Ash asked, getting a nod in return.
"Has he been happy while you've been taking care of him?" Another nod.
"Then I don't see what the problem is." Delia raised her face in anger, ready to reprimand her son for what he said, when he held his hands up in a placating gesture. "Please Mom, let me finish. I don't see what the problem is, because none of that matters now. What does matter is how he's been treated while he's been away from his family. After all, if I know Mew, then it wouldn't save a child without making sure he couldn't go back to that place." Ash finished. Delia could only nod and dry her eyes with a handkerchief that Mr. Mime gave her.
"Y-yes, I suppose you're right. But please Ash, when you meet him, please be gentle with him, alright?" Delia asked.
"Of course Mom. Now, if it's alright with you, I'm gonna go to Professor Oak's lab now and see my Pokémon." Ash said, getting up from the table, and Pikachu stopped playing with Mr. Mime to jump onto Ash's shoulder. Before they could get out the door though, Mrs. Ketchum grabbed onto Ash's wrist, which made Pikachu fall off.
"Ash, before you leave, there is something else I need to tell you." She said, before pulling him into a hug with a watery smile on her face. "Happy Belated Sixteenth Birthday, honey."
"Thanks, Mom." Ash said, before pulling away and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, and I'll see you later tonight, okay?" He asked, getting a nod from Mrs. Ketchum before running out the door with Pikachu on his heels.
*Scene Change*
"And that's the reason why, right here in my lab, I house some of the Pokémon trainers from Kanto catch on their journey. After they've received their very first Pokémon from yours truly, of course." Professor Oak said, standing beside a rock with a Bulbasaur on it.
"With all the Pokémon in your care, isn't there squabbling between them at times?" Alexa asked, recording everything on her headsets camera.
"Well, I wouldn't say there were no disagreements, but at times like that, my good friend Bulbasaur comes in very handy. This is one very responsible Pokémon. If a fight is about to break out, Bulbasaur's the first to step in and try to resolve any issues." Professor Oak explained, absentmindedly petting Bulbasaur as he talked. When he was finished, Bulbasaur hopped off of the rock to go and play with Harry and Helioptile, who were playing tag behind Alexa and the Professor.
"Impressive, Professor. Does that mean that Bulbasaur is yours?" Alexa asked, filming Harry playing with Bulbasaur and Helioptile.
"No, Alexa, this is Ash's Pokémon."
"Wow, that's fascinating!"
"Professor Oak, I'm back everybody!""Piikaa!" Ash and Pikachu yelled, running alongside the fence before jumping over it, or onto it in Pikachu's case.
"Well, it's Ash!" Professor Oak's yell made Harry, Bulbasaur, and Helioptile stop their game of tag, before Bulbasaur started running towards Ash. "Bulbasaur!" He yelled, but just when he started running towards his Pokémon, a stampede of Tauros ran over him, leaving him dazed with swirling eyes, and Pikachu and Bulbasaur leaning over him concernedly.
"Oh, dear." Alexa muttered.
"No, it's fine. All those Tauros are Ash's Pokémon. That happens a lot." Professor Oak said, a sweatdrop running down his face. Ash sat up, then started to pet Bulbasaur on the head.
"You look awesome Bulbasaur." He said, before Pikachu and Bulbasaur started to greet each other. Just then, Harry walked up with a nervous look on his face and Helioptile in his arms.
"U-um, excuse m-me. A-are you Ash?" Harry asked, partially hiding his face behind Helioptile.
'I think this may be the kid my mom was telling me about. He definitely looks like he could've been abused.' And indeed, Harry did. Even through his clothes, you could see how thin he was, although that has gotten better over time thanks to the nutritional food that Mrs. Ketchum had been feeding him for the past month.
"Yeah, I'm Ash. And this is my buddy Pikachu." Ash said, gesturing to the Mouse Pokémon sitting beside him on the grass. "Are you the kid that's been living with my mom for the past month?" He asked, causing Harry to hide more behind Helioptile.
"Y-y-yes, that's me. I-I hope you don't mind, b-but I w-was kinda d-dumped there by some cr-creature called Mew." Harry said, squeezing Helioptile tight enough to make it scurry out of his arms and back over to Alexa. It was interrupted by Professor Oak, though, who had grabbed one of it's frills.
"Amazing. Even now when I see Pokémon for the first time, I get so excited!" By now, Helioptile was struggling to get away. "Witnessing firsthand how this Helioptile's frills open up is quite different than merely hearing about it." At this point, Helioptile was so desperate to get away from the man holding its frills that it set off a point blank Parabolic Charge.
"Ah. I thought I had warned you to be careful enough not to do that." Alexa said.
"Well, you can't learn unless you take a few risks. Pokémon are complex." Professor Oak said, thoroughly fried after the electric shock he was given.
"Professor, have you met Gogoat yet?" Ash asked the Professor.
"Yes, I did. Why, Gogoat and I had the most enjoyable ride together." Oak said, remembering the ride he had on Gogoat.
"And did you get to meet Noivern too?"
"Hmm? And who is this Noivern?" Professor Oak asked, turning to Alexa
"Uh, it's one of my Pokémon, but, you, might find it a bit overwhelming." She said.
"Yeah! It's a super strong Pokémon! Alexa, please let Professor Oak see Noivern." Ash said.
"Yes, I must see it!" Professor Oak demanded. It didn't take long for Alexa to cave after that.
"Alright, if you really want to." Alexa said. She then tossed a pokéball into the air."Noivern, come on out!" She shouted. The Pokéball released a burst of blue energy that coalesced into a wyvern with black arms and legs, a purple belly, turquoise wings, red claws, and two ears on top of it's head that looked similar to speakers on an amp.
"NOIVEEERN!" It roared, leaving Oak floundering for words in his excitement.
"AWESOME, isn't it Professor?" Ash asked. Professor Oak ran straight up to Noivern.
"Amazing! I've only seen PICTURES of this Pokémon!" Oak said, examining it from several angles before straightening it's wing. He then noticed the speaker-like structures on top of it's head, and then stuck HIS OWN HEAD inside of it. "Oh my, look at this! The structure that produces soundwaves is quite complex!" He exclaimed, not noticing as Noivern became more and more agitated at his examination.
"Uh, Professor? I think that might be enough." Alexa said, hands held in a 'Please stop' gesture. Professor Oak had finally pushed Noivern to the point of attack, though, after he took his head out.
"Huh? What did you say?" He asked, only noticing Noivern charging up an attack when he turned back to face it. Yelling out in surprise, he only had a second before the attack hit him head-on.
"You see?" She asked Oak, who was on the ground again from the attack.
"Oh my. So now I see what Boomburst is like." He muttered.
"See? Told ya it was super powerful." Ash said. Harry was nearby, giggling at the Professor, though that quickly stopped when Ash was bitten on the head by Noivern. Alexa was about to pull out a berry to feed it, when Harry stepped in front of Noivern and the struggling Ash.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just calm down Noivern, and let go of Ash." Harry said, reaching up to pet Noivern on the head. Noivern quickly relaxed once he started, and let Ash go to enjoy the sudden rush of affection it was receiving. "There, now isn't that better?" He asked Noivern.
"Noi vern! (Much Better!)" It said, before nuzzling Harry, who quickly started to laugh.
"Ah, there's the old Harry Magic at work." Professor Oak said, standing up and watching Harry interact with Noivern?
"Harry...magic?" Ash and Alexa asked.
"Ah, you see, ever since Harry arrived in Pallet Town a month ago, he's been coming up here with his Pokémon eggs every other day for me to examine them. One day, he walked out back while I was looking at his eggs, and when I came out, he had stopped a conflict between some of the Pokémon simply by petting them and playing with them. Ever since then, I've had him help me by keeping Pokémon calm while I examine them, and I haven't seen ONE Pokémon not be calmed by him." Professor Oak explained, leaving Ash and Alexa in awe of Harry. After that, Alexa was quick to pull out Noivern's Pokéball and return it, much to Harry's chagrin.
"Anyways Professor, are you okay?" Alexa asked Professor Oak, who was straightening out his back after that direct Boomburst.
"Oh yes, never better. One needs to experience a Pokémons power firsthand in order to truly understand it. That is my primary research tool. And, it works." Professor Oak explained to the camera/
"Isn't that awesome?!" Ash yelled.
"Professor, I admire your commitment to your work." Alexa admitted, but she was surprised when an orange Pokémon with lightning for arms showed up out of nowhere.
"Oh, it's Rotom!" Professor Oak exclaimed. "Perfect timing! Let's go back to my laboratory and have a look at all the latest data." He said while Rotom moved up really close to the camera.
"You mean about Rotom?" Alexa asked. "Ash told me so much about it."
"Indeed. I'm currently writing a paper about the changes in Rotom's forms. Rotom is a wonderful Pokémon to work with." Professor Oak said, Rotom spinning in the air beside him. "Ash, are you coming too? And what about you, Harry?"
"Uh, not now. I'll stay here." Ash said.
"Would it be alright if I go grab my Pokémon Eggs, Professor Oak?"
"Of course. Your Pokémon were eager for your return Ash. And you may grab your eggs, Harry. I finished checking them while you were playing with Helioptile before we came outside." Professor Oak said.
"Thank you sir." Harry said.
"Okay Ash, see you later." Alexa said as Helioptile and Pikachu exchanged electricity between themselves.
"Okay." Once Harry, Professor Oak, and Alexa started walking back to the building, Ash turned to Bulbasaur. "Hey Bulbasaur, would you get all the Unova Pokémon together?"
"Bul ba saur. (Okay Ash.)" It said. Bulbasaur then started gathering light at the hole in its bud. Once it had enough, it released that light as a sphere that shot into the sky, which then exploded into a myriad of colors.
"Ooh, pretty!" Harry said. Alexa and the Professor had turned around by that point.
"Wow, it's like fireworks!" Alexa exclaimed, catching the light show on her camera.
"Bulbasaur is using Solarbeam as a signal to gather all the Unova Pokémon together." Professor Oak explained. "The signal patterns are varied, depending on whether the Pokémon are from Unova, Hoenn, or other regions." Ash was only able to stare at the lights until his Pokémon arrived from the various habitats the laboratory had.
"Come on out gang!" Grabbing the five Pokéballs on his belt, he tossed them up and sent out the Pokémon inside, which included Charizard, Snivy, Pignite, Oshawott, and Scraggy. Once he let his Pokémon out, the ones he had with him started communing with the ones that were already at the lab.
"Everyone, Unova was great. Thanks a lot!" He said, receiving positive responses from his Pokémon. "All of you battled really hard in the Unova League. You're the best. We may not've gotten first place, but our journey together made us a whole lot stronger, and that's what really matters." After he said that, he fell onto the grass.
'I know I'm still going for my dream.' "We're all going for our dreams, and to get there, we've all got to stick with it, to keep on trying." He said while he stared at the bright sun, images of all his friends passing in front of his eyes. 'And me…' He thought, before Pikachu jumped onto his chest. He stood up off of the grass, before yelling out, "I'm gonna be a Pokémon Master!" After he said that, one of Harry's eggs began to glow with a soft yellow light.
"W-what's happening?" Harry asked, setting the other egg down on the ground.
"My word, Harry's egg is hatching!" Professor Oak exclaimed, having returned back outside with Alexa. The light coming from the egg turned to a bright white, before the egg dissipated away as light particles, leaving behind a crouching Pokémon. It's body was mostly white, with small arms and legs, and what appeared to be a helmet was on it's head. It covered most of its face, leaving the mouth exposed, and the helmet itself was a light-blue, with two orange horns sticking out. Slowly, it began to uncurl, raising its head up to look at Harry's, only to gasp when she saw him.
'Harry?' Echoed in everyone's head, before the field burst into blue flames.
