Harry Potter The Pokémon Training Wizard Chapter 9
Harry was packing up his camp, he had spent a week by the lake that he had found in the mountains. Naturally he moved to the other side so he could easily continue with his journey as soon as he was ready. Harry had spent that time training his Pokémon who were becoming a whole lot stronger, plus he invited the young Dratini to stay with them and that way he could feed her since food was scars in the area.
Naturally Harry had asked Dratini if she had wanted to join his other Pokémon and told her to think on it for the week. When day four came around the young Dratini had basically spoken to the others and decided to join Harry's ever growing family. Plus after Dratini joined them Harry had found a nice spot for fishing and had then cast out his line. He had reeled in many different Pokémon over the next three days and had battled every one of them which had resulted in both Charmander and Squirtle evolving into Charmeleon and wartortle. Harry had also managed to catch two Poliwags, a Seel, a Goldeen, a Feebass and a Psyduck and finally a Tentacool.
When he had finally finished his packing Harry checked that he had all six of his Pokémon, Dratini being the one to fill his party while the rest went back to his dad. After that with his cain in hand Harry set off for the next part of his mountain trek with the intention of getting more Pokémon. While Harry walked on he kept an eye out for Pokémon he didn't have whitest also thinking that after the mountain was a short forest followed by the town of Ottery St. Catchpole. It was this town that Harry was looking forward to since he could rest up, plus it also had a Pokémon Gym so Harry could get his first Gym Badge and what was more was that the town would be holding a Pokémon Contest about two weeks after he arrived in town. Harry at the moment didn't know which he would have preferred so he was doing the Contest first and then the Gym to see which he would like best and then follow his chosen path.
Over the next few days Harry travelled through the mountains, catching Pokémon along the way. These new Pokémon included a Zubat, an Onix, a Machop, a Geodude, a Cleffa, an Aron, a Bagon and lastly a Beldum. After that Harry found that he didn't have far to go before he reached the forest and there for carried on walking.
Harry was a good hour and a half from the forest, well an hour if he climbed down, when he heard a couple of guys talking not to far from him. Hearing people out in the mountains wasn't anything to be nervous about as they could be and most likely were trainers like himself. However what they were saying was enough for Harry to hide quickly and quietly behind a bush as they came closer to where he was.
"Those two eggs in the cave are close to hatching so we have a good few hours to track down that Lucario and get her egg." Said one in a gruff voice which grated on Harry's nerves.
"But what about the eggs in the cave after all they could hatch any time now and plus they are legendary Pokémon. Do you have any idea how long it took us to track those two Pokémon down?" The second voice was another male voice, but still a more high pitched than the first but it still grated on Harry's ears.
"Aaaawwww... Don't worry they're safe as there's no on else out here. Besides who would go after a couple of dead legendary Pokémon anyhow, so quit your whining there's no one around for miles." Said the first voice again sounding sure of himself as he said it.
"Yeah I know, it's just when it comes to poaching Pokémon I tend to be a little cautious. Plus you never know who's around an area listening in on a conversation, so be careful. Anyway I can't seem to shake a feeling I'm having that something will happen, I mean we did leave the most basic of booby traps for the eggs protection."
However the rest was swallowed by distance as they got further away from Harry and his hiding place. Harry for his part decided to act and headed for another mountain path that lead up the mountain and towards the only cave that Harry knew of as he had done a little research for his dad not to long ago. He just hoped that he could get those eggs before the Poachers returned and took his valuables and Pokémon.
For the next few minutes Harry moved quickly after putting away his cain since he could go a few hours without it. Not long after he reached the cave and after looking around the area and seeing no one he headed inside while avoiding the traps without setting them off. Near the back of the cave Harry found two skeletons of Pokémon but he couldn't tell which ones they were before moving on. Finally at the very back of the cave was a table and on this table were two eggs one was a light pink while the other was two shades of green one part light and the last part dark green. Harry quickly took out two incubators out of his pack and placed the eggs in them before deciding to get out of the cave.
"See I told you I had a strange feeling like something would happen. So it was a good job that I forgot the tracking device after all." said a voice not far away from Harry, plus he recognised it as the second voice of the two poachers.
Harry slowly turned around and quickly zipped up his pack, however the poachers saw what was in it. One looked like skin and bones with dark brown hair and eyes while the other was well built with a lighter shade of brown hair and blue eyes. Their cloths were of dark colours which were covered in muck and god knows what. Both however were staring at Harry with sneers on their faces.
"Well, well what do we have here." said the bigger of the two and confirming that he had the deeper voice of the two. "Why don't you make this easy for yourself kid. Hand over our eggs along with your money and other valuable's and your Pokémon and we may let you live."
Harry didn't answer and quickly turned and ran up the road into the mountain as fast as he could. A couple of seconds later he heard the two men shout and give chase but Harry never slowed his pace. Harry continued to run higher up the mountain with the two poachers chasing him and the chase in total only lasted a few minutes and only ended when Harry ran out onto a ledge. He quickly stopped and ran back the way he came only to find the men blocking his path, laughing evilly. Harry knew that there was only one way to escape and that was over the ledge which lead to the forest below and thankfully there was a vine he could use. Turning Harry knew that the vine was his only hope and so Harry ran and jumped off the ledge which was a hundred foot sheer drop to the forest.
Surprised that the kid would do something like that the two poachers quickly ran to the edge. Their horror turned to excitement when the kid missed the vine he was aiming for by centimetres and continued to fall towards the forest. A few seconds later Harry was swallowed by the trees and vanished from view.
"Well that was a good turn of events for us. Let's go get what we can from that kid, after all he won't need them now he's dead. Hahahaha." Said the big guy as he turned and headed down the safe path down the mountain with his accomplice with him.
