Chapter 11
CAPTURE THE FLAG
They were split up into two teams: Harry and Ron(and others) on one team, and Hermione, Neville, and Malfoy(and others) on the other team.
Harry's team had two people trying to be in control: a boy who had short brown hair and a smiling yellow Pokemon with boxing gloves and what looked like a tied-up head. The other boy was black and had short, frizzy hair and had a zebra-like Pokemon with lightning stripes. "Seamus, we can't all go offensively!" said the black boy. "But Dean, we can fight them if we see them," protested Seamus. "But what if they sneak by us?" explained Dean. "Fine," Seamus folded, "but only if I can go on offense." They seemed to agree.
Harry scanned their two Pokemon. "Makuhita: The Guts Pokemon. Their daily routine consists of training together first thing in the morning, eating and napping in the afternoon, and then more training afterward." said Dexter when he scanned Seamus' Pokemon. "Blitzle: The Electrified Pokemon. When thunderclouds cover the sky, it will appear. It can catch lightning with its mane and store the electricity." The two Pokemon were scanned into his Pokedex as Seamus and Dean divided the team up. The Loudreds screamed, and the game begun.
Harry was put on the offensive team, and Ron was as well. Harry was keen on sneaking through to the other team's battle base; Hedwig strongly disagreed. From the other side, Neville and his puny Tympole were trying to sneak around, yet failing completely. Ron took on the Tympole with his Rattata, leaving Harry's Hedwig to go offensive and face Malfoy and his Snivy. Harry knew that they were both grass types, so he decided to send out Abra. "Abra, kadabra, alakazam!" he whispered as the strange creature emerged. He scanned it with the Pokedex. "Sleeps 18 hours a day. If it senses danger, it will teleport itself to safety even as it sleeps. Moves: Teleport." chimed Dexter in his metallic voice. "Dang it," Harry muttered under his breath. It's useless." He heard Malfoy walking behind him so he was extra quiet, and when he looked back, Abra was gone. When Harry looked around, a thought dawned on him. "Abra, come back here!" he whisper-screamed. "Please, I have an idea!" Abra appeared before Harry immediately. "Try to teleport up to the flag, and avoid the defenders. Snag the flag and come back here." Abra turned his cheek. "Abra." he said defiantly. I'll give you a Rare Candy..?" Harry pleaded. Abra corroborated the offer with a solemn "Abra." as he teleported away. "Well, I guess I'll just have to wait." Harry said to himself as he heard a voice behind him. "Well, if it isn't Harry Potter." Malfoy said smugly. Can't get your bargain bin Pokemon to obey you? Shame. Guess I'll just have to knock some sense into her!" Malfoy snarled as Snivy attacked. "Hedwig, keep your distance and use Leafage!" Malfoy scoffed, "Snivy, pursue her with Tackle, and then Vine Whip her into submission!" Harry watched, but there was nothing he could do as Snivy got closer and closer to Hedwig. Snivy snapped out a vine at Hedwig and slammed it to the ground. "Now, Snivy! Vine Whip!" Snivy repeatedly slapped Hedwig with vines. "Hedwig, please," Harry cried. "GET UP!" Hedwig pushed, but Snivy was relentless. EVentually Hedwig's wing started to glow. "Rrrrrrrrroooooowwww," Hedwig grunted. "LET!" Hedwig's wing slapped Snivy across the face and in one hit, Snivy was down. "What?!" Draco screamed. "Sorry Draco, you're out." said Madame Hooch's voice from the loudspeakers. "MY FATHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!" Draco screeched as he went over to the sit-out bench. "The flag has been taken!" Madame Hooch proclaimed as the Loudreds blared. I wonder who took it,Harry thought as he was touched on the back. "Ab-ra?" Abra asked, holding the flag. Harry just took the flag and ran. He was energized by the thought of winning the game for his team. He passed Dean and Seamus, who both clapped. "Go Harry!" shouted Ron as Harry ran past. The end was in sight. He grappled the pole with an iron grip and cheered at the top of his lungs. "HARRY WINS FOR THE BLUE TEAM!" yelled Madame Hooch. Harry had never felt so accomplished.
