Snivy watched the crowd slowly moving, the ruby red Hogwarts Express was steaming, rain slowly came down. She watched Harry quickly run, and pull a blond into a bear hug, he smiled broadly. His lips moved but she could not hear what he was saying. Aipom jumped off Harry, and ran into the train. She watched Harry leisurely walk into the train. She heard the train whistle blow, and immediately dove off the roof. She sent a vine out and wrapped it around the top of the train. Snivy moved silently into the back of the train, and sat silently.
Harry smiled as Luna sat beside him "So how was your summer Luna" He stretching his legs out. Harry laughed silently at the glances Hermione sent.
"Oh me and father went to America to search for the Skunk Ape" She answered quickly.
Harry pulled Luna into him "You know muggles have heard that" Harry stated.
Luna smiled slightly "Oh yeah we know, so Harry what did you do Harry?" She questioned kneeling into him.
"Dursley's being idiots" He lied smoothly, wincing as she eyed him "Oh hey check this" Harry snapped his hand to his belt.
Grovyle appeared, he crossed his arms "He evolved, oh it won't be much longer" Luna acknowledged knowingly "Hardly believe he's the same pokemon who couldn't use Iron Tail" She added her eyes on Grovyle.
Harry smiled as the confident pokemon squirmed "He's great, you know Grovyle its going to be time for you to return soon" Harry stated , his eyes drooped slightly.
"Grovyle" He muttered with a nod.
"Well you still have some work Grovyle so why cry now" Harry told him with a grin, Grovyle smirked, and nodded. Harry suddenly jumped up, he aimed the Pokeball at Grovyle and left the compartment. Harry felt a hand grab him by pull him around, Luna planted her lips on his. Harry grabbed her waist, Harry felt his head lighten "Yep I missed that feeling" Harry whispered.
Luna watched the reaction, his eyes sparkled with flecks of bright glowing green. She eyed the sparkles continued to moved, suddenly Harry pulled away and close his eyes 'Focus Harry, never lose control' Harry thought quickly. Luna watched the glowing specks fade into the usual emerald green "So Harry how are the rest of your pokemon?" Luna asked.
"Well Swinub is doing ok, she almost has Mud Ball down. I'm still working on breaking all the training Malfoy gave Chimchar. Piplup is having trouble controlling Brine. Eevee is freshly hatched so she has a long way to go. And you Already know how Aipom, and Grovyle are" He answered smoothly.
"Oh yes they seem to be getting stronger" Luna muttered.
"Yeah a lot of work but they'll be great" Harry vowed.
Harry and Luna spent the rest of the train ride talking, Harry thanked her for the shirt she had sent. And she had told him what her father found out about the Skunk Ape. She laughed loudly at When Harry told her about Piplup's first battle against Panpour. And he laughed when Luna told him about her father's failed Skunk Ape trap that ended with him being covered in mud.
The Hogwarts Express slowed as it came to Hogsmeade Station "So I'll see you tomorrow right" Harry stated.
"Yes Harry" She answered.
"Maybe you can help me with Piplup" Harry stated as he walked to the door, Luna had his hand.
Snivy followed the group moving quickly jumping onto one of the horseless carriage, she dove underneath the carriage and climbed onto the axle. Her eyes widened as they began to roll up to the large ominous castle. The large dark towers reached he into the sky, she could make out the faint outline of a Quidditch Pitch, and three varying types of battle ground. One of the three battle grounds had, a sea of jagged rocks, standing at awkward angles. The next had a series of tree's, with a thin path of that allowed the two trainers to see each other from their respective box's. And the last was in a glass dome, a pool was in the dome, with a large group of floating platforms in the pool. The platforms swayed slightly.
Snivy snapped out of her awe when the carriage came to a stop, she watched as the students made their way into the school, before diving off of axle and making her way towards the doors. She dove as the door's shut "Snivy" She gasped, looking at the fan of leaves on the end of her tail. She jumped and and made her way towards the brightly lit Great Hall "During the Summer I made contact with the American Ministry" An old man wearing a deep plum robe, with large silver sparkling star's started "We have decided to make a move to strength our relationship with them" He pulled a Pokeball off his hip "By trading breeds of pokemon, and eventually if this goes well, we will start exchanging student, but that is for another time" He stated.
"As you may know a majority of the pokemon species are generalised to the Asian countries, and now our country" The student all watched him expectantly "Well after the swarm of pokemon showed up in our country, the American released information pertaining to breeds of pokemon that are only found in the north and south America" He lectured "As so we immediately started talks of transferring the breeds of pokemon only found here, and in Asia [If you didn't know a majority of Prior pokemon breeds will not be catchable in Black and White] It took us years to finally come to the this agreement"
"When you enter the forest prepare yourself, we do not know everything these pokemon are capable of, but we do know this. They know attacks unique to them, and as so treat them with great respect" He suddenly snapped his wrist, a small pig like pokemon appeared in front of him "We need you to return your Pokedex to your head of house, and in a weeks time you will be given a updated pokedex with the information of we have on all these new pokemon" He told them.
Harry pulled his battered bright red pokedex out of his pocket. The screen was cracked, there were chunks missing from the shell. Some of the button fell off over the years, but even so he could still make out his face along with all his pokemon underneath "Years of some fond, and not so fond memories" Harry muttered, Aipom nodded in agreement.
"Now I have an teaching announcement to be made" Everybody sighed loudly "Professor Lupin has regrettably resigned" The students once again "I would like you introduce you to your new Professor Rose Petal" The women stood up, she was shorter then a majority of the professors, barely being five four, she had long bright red hair, with pink streaks going through it. Harry looked at her rounded features. She eyed the school, and for a split second her emerald eyes locked onto Harry's 'No way' He gasped loudly.
She had smiled brightly at the group "It's a pleasure, and I hope to teach you all something new?" She stated, her voice carrying surprisingly well through the entire hall. The entire hall remained silent as she pulled her wand, Harry eyed the bright pink wand. She swished it , and immediately a pillar of fire in the shape of a large wolf appeared.
The wolf cast a glance around the room, around the room. Before diving into the air, and disappearing with in a swirl of flames. The entire student body clapped loudly, the food appeared on the gold plates that adorned the tables.
Dumbledore stood up "And finally, this year Hogwarts has the honour of hosting the Tri-Wizard tournament. For those of you who do not know the Tri-Wizard Tournament is a competition held between Hogwarts, Durmstrang institute for wizards, and Beauxbaton academy for magic. The rules are simple, win each of the three task we will give you. Then you will be graded by your performance in each task" Dumbledore told the silent school. "Now for safety reasons we will not be allowing anyone under the age of seventeen to enter the tournament" Immediately the students let out a sigh, and groans of frustration.
Harry ate slowly, slowly pushing wave of psychic energy out. The groups of students began to funnel out of the Great Hall as they finished eating.
Harry remained still as they disappeared "What are you doing here?" He asked.
She laughed "I have always been here protecting you Harry, I just decided it was time to take a more active approach" She stated quickly.
Harry laughed loudly "Only you Mew, only You" He muttered
AN

Also the sorry for the short Chapter but it's an intro chapter to Harry's fourth year so yeah the length should be understandable.
