Albus Dumbledore's POV:

Cold.

Shivering.

Out of place.

These are the feelings I felt as I went through the portal to find the missing boy. However, for the sake of all wizards who want peace, we persevered. I couldn't shake the feeling that something angry and powerful was glowering at us. After what felt like an eternity, we see a white light.

As we walk through the light, I felt the cold dissipate instantly. I have a look around to get my bearings. That's when I notice the huge crowd filing into an even larger stadium.

"I say we blend into the crowds, it'll make us less conspicuous." Suggested Mad-eye Moody. It made sense, and we went for it. Besides, I didn't like the odd noises coming from one of the nearby caves.

"This is all really…bizzare." McGonagall comments. I couldn't help but agree.

Everyone here were so differently dressed, presented themselves, and talked, I couldn't shake the feeling we are on an entirely different planet!

"OK, despite the queerness of the situation, let's just keep to the plan and find Harry Potter. Who knows, maybe the unknown resources of this world will aid us in our war." I tell my fellow wizards, who agreed with my suggestion. We follow the crowd inside the stadium. Noticing the guards, we find an employee only way in.

Honestly, I didn't want to test my magic here just yet. Thankfully, there was a side door that took us straight into the stadium complex. We just had to follow the janitor in, and take the other door while the janitor had his back turned. We take the staircase on our righto the 2nd highest level, which had a wall-mounted TV with an oddly designed sphere on it. The highest level was reserved for "special guests." When I looked down to see the stadium, I got déjà vu. People were filling up the stadium left and right, surrounding an oval shaped stadium. It was so similar yet so different to the Quidditch World Cup that I got vertigo.

In the center of the grassy field had that same symbol on it, except the red half was facing left while the white half was facing right. The far sides of the field had 2 metal stands, with odd devices attached to them. Both sides had a lake and 3 boulders in a neat pile.

Remus whistled, and asked, "What do you think is going to go down?"

"You're guess is as good as mine," Snape replied in his curt manner. Suddenly, a loud voice rang out throughout the stadium.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Today is the 1st round of the Ever Grande World Championship!" Loud cheers erupted around the stadium. "Thank you. Now, a new twist has come in. For the first time in many years, Red has returned as Champion of Kanto!" The crowd seemed stunned, but then almost deafening cheers rang out.

'Whoever this Red is, he must be famous.' I conclude. Then, the TV next to us flashed to life and a boy appeared on the screen. He had black hair, red hat and jacket, along with a black shirt and jeans. He appeared 18.

"I wonder what finally got Red to come down from the mountain." A new voice comments behind us. We whirl around to come face to face with another boy, who looked 16. He reminded me a little of Mundungus Fletcher, mainly the boy's gambler's air. He had a golden hat turned backwards to reveal jet black hair and impossibly golden eyes. He also had on goggles, a red jacket, black pants, a strange watch, and a white backpack slung over his left shoulder.

"Who are you?" Snape asked, obviously involuntarily. The boy stared at us calculatingly, before sighing.

"You must be from one of those organizations who left society behind. Anyway, I'm Ethan Gold, wandering Trainer of Johto. In case you don't know, let me fill you in. As you know, the Pokémon World consists of 6 regions: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos. Over 600 Pokémon are known to exist. Red became the 1st champion of Kanto after single-handedly disbanding the evil Team Rocket at age 10. However, to become stronger, he traveled to Mt. Silver in my homeland, Johto, to train. During his isolation, he left his sister Leaf to being the next champion. Until today, he hasn't been seen anywhere else."

He left us to our shock to head up to the top level. "Wow. That kind of story does sound like a legend." Remus breathed. Snape looked dumbfounded at a 10 year old kid took down a whole organization.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, that everything is set up, let the first match of the tournament begin. Introducing the winner of the Ever Grande Tournament, Harry Potter!" All of our attention snapped to the field, where the left stand was rising in the air, revealing none other than Harry Potter. He looked more fit than I've ever seen him. He had on a black jacket, a red shirt, and jeans with a belt. He got many loud cheers.

"Let's get some seats. It looks suspicious we're hanging out here." Growled Moody. I agreed, and quickly put up glamour charms on everyone so we didn't look out of place. We get the seats next to each other at the top, next to a woman with curly blue hair and a girl with long, wavy black hair.

"Now for Harry's opponent! The Wandering Trainer of Sinnoh and contest star, Lucas Diamond!" The crowd, especially the girl and woman next to us, cheered even louder than before.

'These Wandering Trainers are famous.' I couldn't help but think as the other platform rose. Once again, I was dumbfounded at how different this world is. What really struck home was the boys grey hair, blue winter jacket with an odd silver badge with an odd jewel on the inside. Snape was sneering, thinking that Lucas would be a spoiled brat.

"Welcome to the Ever Grande World Championship. I watched your progress in the Ever Grande Tournament and am impressed with what you can do. I'm sure I speak for my colleagues when I say: Good luck, Harry Potter, and may the best Trainer win!" A roar of applause came from that short speech. McGonagall, Snape, Lupin, and Moody looked shocked at how calm he was, while my mind went back to when Harry was 1, when I had no choice but to leave him with the Dursleys.

"Now both Trainers have to start with their first Pokémon, and the Challenger gets to attack first. Let it begin!"

The work 'Pokémon' was still very unfamiliar and foreign on my tongue. Both Trainers grabbed one ball that was on the devices next to them, and pushed the button in the center. That's when it hit me. Those are the same balls as the symbol on the field.

"I choose you!" Both trainers shouted before they threw the balls into the air.

Then, a white light erupted from them both.
