After spending two days on a boat, Harry was happy to arrive at Cinnabar Island. At least he would be able to walk around. The minute his foot hit the ground, he looked around and saw a large volcano.

"Cool." said Harry. "I bet that's where most of the action takes place on this island." he said pointing in the direction of the volcano.

"And you're not going up there." said Sirius. "You're not doing anything until that arm's healed. Now lets go to my house."

Sirius led them down the road and passed a dozen shops for tourist. They finally came to a stop at a large house that looked to be three stories. It was made of white marble and had golden railings decorating the house. The front of the door held a golden knocker and the initials SB on either side of it.

The front yard was well kept. The grass and bushes stayed trimmed and there were golden statues decorating the lawn.

"Whoa," said Ash as he looked at the house. "Is this your house?"

"Yeah," said Sirius. "I'm the last of my family alive so I inherited it." He walked over to the door and opened it.

Even though the light wasn't on, the anteroom shone with a kind of light. The walls were a bright white and were decorated with pictures of Sirius' friends. There was a mahogany table on the right side of the wall that was cluttered with mail and a coat rack that was in the corner next to the table. Up ahead and to the left was a door leading off to the living room and to the right was a case of white stairs with a golden rail that led to the upper levels.

"This place is beautiful." whispered Misty who was carrying Togepi in her hands.

"Yes." said Sirius. "Welcome to The Black Estate."

"You must be loaded." said Ash without thinking.

"Ash," scolded Misty. "You don't go around saying things like that."

Sirius led them into the living room that was decorated in white furniture. Even the large, flat screen television was white. There were two doors; one on the right and one on the left. The door on the right led to the kitchen and the door to the left led to the dining room. Sirius walked into the kitchen and they followed.

The appliances in the kitchen matched the furniture in the living room. In the room was a white door. Sirius opened the door and revealed a way into a basement area. He descended the stairs turning the light on as he went. The others followed.

The basement was the first part of the house they saw that wasn't white. It was brown with brown furniture. There was a couch and chair in the middle of the room that faced an entertainment center that was on the wall. On the wall in the back of the basement were a counter, bar stools, and bottles of liquor. There was a dart board with the darts already on the board. They, some how, formed the words 'James wins again'.

In the front of the room was a door that led to the laundry room. Harry peered inside and saw that the laundry was folded and the machine was still running. Someone was in the house doing the laundry. He looked to the right and saw a small bathroom that contained a toilet, a sink, and a small window.

"Not down here either." muttered Sirius. He seemed to be looking for something.

Sirius left the basement and led them back to the anteroom. He climbed the stairs leading the others to the second floor. The second floor was a hall that had two doors on either side of the wall and a door that lead to the bathroom up ahead.

Sirius peered into each door that turned out to be large bedrooms. The first three were decorated in white furniture, but the last one was different from the rest of the house. It was decorated in white furniture, but there were a lot of pictures of Sirius' friends and Pokemon on the wall. The room was full of all kinds of trinkets that it looked messy, but in a clean way.

Sirius walked to the end of the hallway before the bathroom. He reached up and pulled on a drawstring that was hanging from the ceiling. Stairs lowered and they climbed up to the room. The attic was brown like the basement. There was a large battlefield in the center of the room. On the wall were pictures of Pokemon and on the shelves were trophies. There was a scoreboard that read: Sirius-160 wins; James-160 wins; Remus-160 wins; Lily- 149 wins; and Peter- 2 wins.

"This place is awesome." said Ash. "Let's have a battle right now."

"Calm down, Ash." said Misty. "We haven't even seen the backyard."

Sirius led them out of the attic and to the dining room which was also white with furniture and a glass door that led to the backyard. They went outside and the first thing Harry notice was a Jacuzzi and a large swimming pool complete with diving board.

"Wow." said Harry. "This place is great. How come you never invited me over?"

"Because I was never at home." answered Sirius.

Misty gave a loud scream and Harry turned around. He saw her staring at an ugly creature. It was small with large eyes and a long nose. It was wearing a suit that reminded Harry of a butler and had white hair coming out of its ears. Harry had never seen such a creature.

"Is that a Pokemon?" asked Ash.

"It's hideous." shrieked Misty.

The creature turned around and spotted Sirius. It gave Sirius a deep bow before saying, "Master Sirius! You're home! Kreacher kept Master's house cleaned for him."

"Thanks, Kreacher," said Sirius brightly. "I want you to meet my godson Harry and his friends Misty and Ash."

"Kreacher is pleased to meet Harry." said Kreacher bowing to Harry. "Master speaks kindly about Harry all the time." Kreacher then turned to Ash and Misty giving them each a bow. "What cute Pokemon. Kreacher must pet them."

Umbreon and Pikachu looked panicked and hid behind Ash while Togepi began to cry. Misty backed away at once.

"Sirius," said Misty. "What is that?"

"This is a house elf." answered Sirius. "He lives here with me. He's kind of like a butler."

"Does Master need anything from Kreacher?"

"Yeah. Can you make us some lunch? Maybe a few cheeseburgers and some food for the Pokemon."

"Of course, Master." said Kreacher. He gave Sirius one last bow before leaving.

Sirius turned to Harry. "I think we should tell your parents and let them know that you're alright."

Sirius led them back into the house. Misty went upstairs to put Togepi down for a nap, Ash went to the attic to do some training, and Sirius and Harry went into the living room to call Harry's parents.

James answered the phone after ten rings. His hair was messier than normal and his clothes was hanging on loosely and were backwards as if he was dressing in a hurry.

"Hey, James!" shouted Sirius. "What's up!?"

"Hey, I--" he glanced at Harry. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY SON'S ARM!?"

"Oh," said Sirius glancing down at Harry's arm as well. "Well, we had a little run in with this psycho path with a gun. He shot Harry and I was going to take him to the doctor, but then we were attacked by Team Rocket. Then he was kidnapped by Voldemort--"

"Voldemort kidnapped him!?" exclaimed James. "I told you to…" he paused and took a deep breath. "Harry, can you excuse us?"

"But…"

James raised an eyebrow and Harry left the room immediately. He didn't dare ease drop on the conversation. He went up to the attic where Pikachu was sparring against Bulbasaur.

"Hey, Harry." said eyes not taking his eyes off the match. "You wanna train with me? It's kind of hard with just one person."

"Can't." said Harry. "I'm not supposed to do any training for a while. Besides…" he stopped himself.

If he admitted that his arm was bothering him, Sirius would force him to take those pills. He had taken those pills far too many times. He didn't like sleeping while everyone else was having fun.

"Something wrong?" asked Ash.

Harry looked around and saw that Ash was watching him closely. "Um…no. I'm fine."

"You don't look fine. Is it your arm? Is it bothering you?"

"No. My arm is--"

Just then they heard footprints and Misty's came into the room. "Kreacher says lunch is ready and there's more than enough food for the Pokemon."

"Alright," exclaimed Ash. "Let's go eat!"

They all went down to the dining room where the table was filled with cheeseburgers and fries. They released their Pokemon and settled themselves at the table.

"Let's eat." said Ash picking up a cheeseburger and biting into it. "This is awesome!"

Harry picked up a sandwich from the plate and took a bite out of it. He put it back down. He wasn't really in the mood to eat. He looked down and saw that his Pokemon were enjoying his food.

"What's wrong, Harry?" asked Misty.

Harry looked up at her. "Nothing." he lied. "I just don't feel like cheeseburgers."

"Kreacher can always make you something else." said Sirius.

"I'm just not hungry."

Chikorita used a razor leaf and lifted a piece of food out of its bowl. It walked over to Harry and raised its vine whip showing the food to Harry.

"Chikorit." said Chikorita.

"No, thanks." said Harry. He sighed. "Can I have the pain pill?"

"Sure." said Sirius looking at his watch. "In fact it's time for your fever pill too. Do you want the sleeping medicine."

"I didn't say I was ready for bed."

"No, but you really should rest up." said Sirius standing up and leaving out of the room.

Harry sighed. He knew what was coming. Sirius was going to make him to take the sleep medicine. Sirius returned and passed Harry three pills. Harry silently placed them in his mouth and drunk a glass of water helping him to swallow the pill.

"I guess I have no choice, but to crash on the couch." Harry said bitterly. "Wake me up for dinner." he said standing up.

Harry went to the couch and fell asleep instantly the minute he laid down. He woke up in the late evening to a quiet house. He sat up and looked around. The lights were off. Did everyone go off to enjoy the weather.

Harry swung his legs off the couch and the moment they hit the floor, Kreacher came rushing into the room.

"Can Kreacher get Harry anything?" he asked coming to a stop in front of Harry.

"Um, no." answered Harry. "I was wondering where everyone went?"

"Kreacher knows." said Kreacher. "Ash, Misty, and the Pokemon went down to play at the beach. Master Sirius went to the volcano to talk to a friend. Master Sirius wants Harry Potter to stay where he is."

Harry put his feet back onto the couch and laid down. "There's nothing to do here. He said I can't train, I can't swim, and I can't go near the volcano."

"Master Sirius is only looking out for Harry Potter." said Kreacher fluffing Harry's pillow. "James Potter was angry at Master Sirius for--" Kreacher suddenly went quiet.

Harry sat up. "My dad was mad at Sirius?" he asked. "Why? Sirius didn't break my arm. Tell me, Kreacher. Why is my dad mad at Sirius?"

"Kreacher…Kreacher can't say." replied Kreacher shaking his head. "Kreacher promised Master Sirius that he wouldn't tell his secret."

"Is it because Sirius promised my dad something? Did Sirius promise to protect me? Is this the only reason he came on this journey?"

"Harry Potter says too much." said Kreacher pressing his ears flat on his head with his hands.

"That's it, isn't it?"

Kreacher gave Harry a sympathetic look. He then walked off without saying another word. Harry frowned as Chikorita came into the living room.

"Chika?" it said as it came into view. "Chikorit." said Chikorita happily.

"Hey, Chiky." said Harry happy to see the Pokemon. "Why don't you stay here and keep me company?"

"Chika!" said Chikorita leaping onto the couch.

"Cool." said Harry. "You want to play baseball? I'll be the pitcher."

"Chika." said Chikorita nodding.

Harry had located a baseball and a mitt in Sirius' bedroom. They were in the living room, that now held overturned furniture. Harry was tossing the baseball into the air and catching it.

"It's the bottom of the ninth," Harry said to himself. "Harry's one out from pitching a perfect game. Will he succeed? Or will he fail?" Harry cocked his arm back--

"What the hell are you doing?" came Sirius' voice before he could throw the ball.

Harry dropped his arm and turned around. Sirius was standing in the door way with an unpleasant look on his face. Harry looked at the ball in his hand and quickly hid it behind his back.

"I was, um…"

"Destroying my house?" suggested Sirius. "And playing baseball?"

"…You could say that." said Harry meekly.

"Okay," said Sirius. "Just for that, you're grounded for a week."

Harry groaned. "I'm already grounded for six months."

"Well, for this week you better not leave off of that couch unless I'm escorting you to the bathroom."

Sirius walked over to Harry and snatched the baseball out of his hands. He then proceeded to the kitchen. Harry sat on the couch and Chikorita sat next to him with a look of guilt on its face.

"It's not your fault, Chikorita." said Harry. "I guess I was bored. When I'm bored I tend to get into trouble."

"Chika Chika Chikorit."

"Are you saying you want to be grounded with me?"

"Chika." said Chikorita nodding.

"It can get pretty dull."

But Chikorita only gave him a determined look.

______________________________________________________________________

Monday. The first day of Harry's grounding.

Harry was sitting on the couch with Chikorita sleeping next to him. He was flicking through the channels looking for something interesting to watch. It was just after breakfast, so no one had left the house.

Harry heard footsteps and he looked around in time to see Misty wearing a bathing suit. She was carrying Togepi in her arms.

"Hey, Harry." said Misty walking over to him. "Since Sirius grounded you, can you do me a favor?"

"What?"

"Can you watch Togepi while I hit the waves? Togepi is too young to go surfing."

"Um…"

"Thanks." said Misty dumping the Pokemon in Harry's lap. She pulled a list out of her beach bag. "This is the list of things Togepi likes and doesn't like. This is also instructions of how to take care of it and the schedule I keep with Togepi." She pushed the list into his arms. "I'm sure you'll do fine. Bye." said Misty running out of the door.

Harry looked down at the Pokemon in his lap.

"Togepreee." said Togepi happily.

"How am I suppose to baby sit when I can't leave the couch?" muttered Harry.

"Chika." yawned Chikorita. Chikorita stood up and looked at Harry.

"Hey, Chiky." said Harry. "How would you like to help baby sit Togepi?"

"Chika." said Chikorita nodding its head.

"Great. For the first day of our punishment, we'll be watching Togepi."

Watching Togepi wasn't as easy as Harry thought. Togepi liked to get into everything. It climbed into the vases, ran out of the room, it even managed to get outside and up a tree. How that happened was beyond Harry.

Chikorita did a great job looking after the baby Pokemon and Harry had fun playing with it.

The biggest event that happened must have been in the afternoon. Harry had just taken the pain and fever pill and had gone to sleep, without the need of the sleeping medicine, when he heard Togepi cry.

His eyes snapped opened and he looked around the room. Togepi had mechanical hands wrapped around it and was being pulled through the window. Harry was about to get up from the couch when he remembered that he had to stay in bed.

He dug between the cushions of the pillow (the couch had become like a Big Comfy Couch to him) and pulled out a pair of binoculars and two walkie-talkies.

"Wake up, Chikorita." said Harry shaking the Pokemon. Chikorita opened its eyes and looked at him. "Someone's kidnapping Togepi. We have to save it."

"Chika." said Chikorita nodding determinedly.

Harry tied one of the walkie-talkies to Chikorita and flipped it on. Chikorita jumped out of the window and headed after Togepi. Harry placed the binoculars to his eyes and spotted Team Rocket running away holding Togepi over their head.

He held the binoculars with one hand and raised the walkie-talkie to his mouth. "I see Team Rocket." he said. "I can see you too. Keep running straight ahead."

"Chika." came Chikorita's voice.

Harry watched as Chikorita caught up with Team Rocket. They were too far to reach by hand, but not too far to reach by vine whip. "Chikorita, trip them with your vine whip." he said into the walkie-talkie.

"Chika!" said Chikorita as it extended its vine whip tripping the troublesome trio.

"Hey," said Jessie's voice angrily. "I don't appreciate you tripping us."

"It's that Potter kid's Chikorita." came James' voice.

"Not anymore." said Meowth. "Why don't we take this Chikorita along with Togepi?"

"That's a great idea, Meowth." said Jessie. "Arbok, go!" said Jessie throwing her Pokeball.

"Charbok!" said Arbok as it came out of the Pokeball.

"Weezing," said James. "I choose you." he said throwing his Pokeball.

"Weezing." said Weezing.

"Let's get that Chikorita." Jessie said to Arbok. "Use your poison sting attack!"

"Dodge it, Chikorita," said Harry into the walkie-talkie. "And use your razor leaf."

Arbok opened its mouth and released a series of white pins. Chikorita jumped quickly out of the way and swung the large leaf on its head around. Several smaller leaves came out and hit Arbok in the center of its chest. Arbok fell to the ground in pain.

"Weezing." said James. "Sludge attack!"

"Weezing." said Weezing then it released a blackish liquid.

Chikorita leapt out of the way and the attack hit the ground.

"Good, Chikorita." said Harry. "Use your vine whip."

"Chika." said Chikorita wrapping its vine whip around Weezing. It then swung Weezing around and threw Weezing into Arbok, who went crashing into Team Rocket.

Team Rocket went flying into the air. Chikorita grabbed Togepi with a vine whip before they got out of distance.

"Togepreeee." said Togepi happily.

"Chika." said Chikorita beaming at Togepi.

"Great job, Chikorita." said Harry. "Now bring Togepi home."

Misty returned hours later to find Harry, Togepi, and Chikorita sleeping peacefully on the couch. It looked like nothing exciting had taken place. She walked over to the couch and picked up the sleeping Togepi. The movement caused Harry to wake up.

"Hey," he said tiredly. He sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Hey," said Misty softly. "Thanks for taking care of my little Togepi. You were a big help."

"Chika." said Chikorita waking up.

"You're welcome." said Harry. "It was fun. We didn't have any problems." said Harry. "Right, Chikorita?" he asked the Pokemon winking at it.

"Chika." said Chikorita happily.

______________________________________________________________________

Tuesday. The second day of Harry's grounding.

Harry and Chikorita was sitting on the couch with nothing to do. Everyone had gone outside to enjoy the nice weather and there were hours before Harry could take his medicine. He was starting to like the pills because they made him feel better.

His fever was almost gone, but his arm still hurt. Sometimes he could feel his Poke-Power trying to release itself. Sirius had told him not to release it because the effort could permanently could damage the arm.

Harry yawned. "What a boring day." he said.

"Chika." agreed Chikorita.

"Hey," said Harry on sudden inspiration. "How about a story?"

"Chikorit." said Chikorita nodding.

"Okay…" said Harry thinking. "How about….Voldilocks and the Three Ursa?"

"Rita." chuckled Chikorita.

"The story goes like this…"

Once upon a time, there lived three Ursa. A big daddy Ursaring, a medium mama Ursaring, and a baby Teddiursa. They were in the living room getting ready to enjoy a bowl of hot honey. But, unfortunately, it was too hot.

"Teddi?" said Teddiursa as it dipped its finger into the honey. "Teddi!" it cried sucking its now blistering fingers.

"Ursaring Ursa." said the big Ursaring.

The three Ursa got up from the table and headed out of the door.

Minutes later a tall man with long, blonde hair came walking through the woods. This man was named Voldilocks. He had been lost all day and was feeling very hungry. He sniffed the air and was attracted by the smell of honey.

Voldilocks walked over to the three Ursa's cottage. He knocked, but no one answered. So, he invited himself in.

"What a cool house," said Voldilocks. "I wouldn't mind living here."

Voldilocks found his way to the kitchen and saw the three bowls of honey sitting on the table.

"Yum Yum," he said. He walked closer and peered into one of the bowls. "I'm sure no one would mind if I had a little taste."

So he helped himself to the first bowl of honey.

"Aaaaahhhhh," he screamed as he burned his tongue. "Dat's bay thoo hot." he said.

He then picked up the second bowl and gave it a taste.

"Blaaaagh," he said setting the bowl down. "This is way too cold."

He picked up the third bowl of honey and gave it a taste.

"This is just awesome."

And he ate the whole bowl.

After breakfast, Voldilocks decided to relax. He went into the living room and saw three different size chairs. A big chair, a medium chair, and a small chair. Voldilocks sat down in the big chair.

"Ow, my butt!" he exclaimed jumping up rubbing his bottom. "This chair is uncool."

He sat down in the medium chair. The cushion began to sag and he began to sink into the chair.

"This chair is too soft." he said getting up.

Voldilocks sat in the third chair.

"This chair is awesome." he said.

Suddenly the wood began to creek and the wood collapsed causing Voldilocks to fall on the floor.

Voldilocks decided that he would take a nap, so he went upstairs to the bedroom where there were three beds.

Voldilocks went to lay in the first bed, but felt uncomfortable. He got out of it.

"This bed is lame," said Voldilocks.

Voldilocks gave the second bed a try and he soon sagged into the mattress.

"This bed is too soft," said Voldilocks getting out of the bed.

Voldilocks laid in the third bed and sighed. "This bed is awesome."

And he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the three Ursa were returning home to eat their cooled down breakfast.

They walked into the kitchen and sat down to eat.

"Ursa." said the big Ursaring angrily looking down at his bowl. "Ursa Ursa Ursa Ring."

The mama Ursaring looked down at her bowl. "Ursa," she said with concern. "Ursa Ursa Ursa Ring."

Teddiursa looked down at his bowl and wailed. "Teddi," he said. "Teddi Teddi Teddiursa. Teddi Teddi." he said and he raised the bowl showing them that it was empty.

The Ursa decided that they would eat during lunch and made their way to the living room to relax. They stood before their chairs.

"Ursa," said the big Ursaring angrily looking down at his chair. "Ursa Ursa Ursa Ring."

The mama Ursaring looked down at her chair and noticed how it sagged. "Ursa," she said with concern. "Ursa Ursa Ursa Ring."

Teddiursa looked down at his chair and wailed. "Teddi," he said. "Teddi Teddi Teddiursa. Teddi Teddi." he said and gestured to the broken wood on the floor.

The angry Ursa went upstairs and decided to calm down with a nap. They went into the bedroom and walked over to their beds.

"Ursa," said the big Ursaring looking angrily at his bed. "Ursa Ursa Ursa Ring."

The mama Ursaring looked down at her bed. "Ursa," she said with concerned. "Ursa Ursa Ursa Ring."

Teddiursa looked down at his bed and screamed. "Teddi," he said in a panicky voice. "Teddi Teddi Teddiursa." he said pointing down at the sleeping man.

Voldilocks woke up and the sound of Teddiursa's voice. He looked around and saw that three angry bears were looking at him.

Voldilocks raised his hand and vine whips came out of the palm, tying up the bears--

"That story doesn't have a happy ending." said Harry. "I can't imagine Voldemort running from something as normal as Ursaring. Can you?" he added to Chikorita.

"Chika." answered Chikorita.

______________________________________________________________________

Harry had a lot of fun with Chikorita during the next few days, but he wished that he could go outside and smell the fresh air. His fever was completely gone and his punishment was almost up.

Nothing eventful happened except for the occasional visits from Team Rocket. They had taunted him about not being allowed to leave the couch making Harry feel miserable.

So on Monday morning, his first day of freedom, he sat on the couch looking bored.

"Look, Jesse," teased James as he watched Harry through the window. "It's couch boy."

"Looks like you won't be getting up from that couch any time soon." laughed Meowth.

"Guess again," said Harry jumping off the couch. He rushed outside and Team Rocket screamed and began to run away. Harry looked around and spotted Pikachu. "Hey, Pikachu."

"Pi?" said Pikachu looking around at Harry. "Cha." it said happily.

"Can you give me a hand?" said Harry pointing up the road at Team Rocket.

Pikachu looked ahead then gave a determined look. "Pika-chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Harry watched as Team Rocket was zapped by Pikachu's attack. The ground exploded and Team Rocket went sailing into the air.

"Thanks." said Harry. He looked around and saw many people wandering around. He sniffed the clean air. "It feels nice to be outside and it feels nicer to be off punishment."
