The Jhoto Journey and Characific Valley

Harry and Daphne decide to wait many days and headed towards Jhoto. They had decided to get a Jhoto starter pokemon so decided to pay up the extra amount required for it. They reached the port of Jhoto and headed for the New Bark town for getting their starter pokemon for prof. Elm. When they reached there, "Ah you guys are here, please give me your Poke Gear so that I can register you for the league." Harry nodded and gave his poke gear. After registering him prof. Elm said, "Now for the starters you may know it but still, in Jhoto the starter pokemons are Cyndaquil the fire type, Chikorita the grass type and Totodile the water type. Now please choose yours."

Daphne chose first and decided to take Totodile and introduced herself to the big jaw pokemon, afterwards Harry chose Cyndaquil. Harry released Cyndaquil from his ball, Cyndaquil looked around when Harry said, "Hey Cyndaquil I am Harry will you be part of my team. I will make you strong and we will battle many other pokemon." Cyndaquil nodded enthusiastically, Harry smiled at that and scanned the pokemon.

"Cyndaquil, the Fire Mouse Pokémon. Normally mild and even tempered, Cyndaquil will shoot a scorching flame out of its back when upset.

Abilities- Blaze, Flash Fire (Hidden Ability)

This Cyndaquil is a male. It knows- Tackle, Smoke Screen, Quick Attack, Flame Wheel, Flame Charge, Swift, Lava Plume.

Egg moves- Crush Claw, Double Kick, Flame Burst, Flare Blitz, Thrash, Extrasensory, Double Edge, Wild Charge."

Harry said while petting Cyndaquil, "Not bad, wild charge is a surprise. We will master those egg moves in time don't worry. Thanks prof. Elm we should get going." He replied, "No problem and good luck on your journey." After saying their goodbyes to the professor, Harry and Daphne headed towards violet city.

On the route to Violet city Harry and Daphne saw a herd of Pinsir and Heracross. Daphne decided to catch a pinsir and she left to get one. Harry said, "Well Pinsir are good but I think Heracross are stronger even without mega evolving. I will catch one."

Harry searched for a bit and found the leader of the group, "Well Cyndaquil doesn't have that much experience but it will be a good practice for him. Cyndaquil come out." From Harry's ball came out the fire mouse pokemon.

"Cyndaquil Swift on that Heracross on top." The swift hit Heracross and got his attention. Heracross charged towards Cyndaquil and hit him with an Aerial Ace.

"Cyndaquil Flame Charge don't let it get away." Heracross met Flame Charge with its own Horn Attack. The attacks collided and both the pokemon were effected by that attack.

"Cyndaquil Swift again." The swift connected with Heracross, but this Heracross was definitely strong so he got up after getting hit and charged towards Cyndaquil with Mega Horn.

"Cyndaquil Smokescreen to dodge and then light it up Lava plume."

Cyndaquil covered the area with smoke taking away Heracross vision so the Mega Horn from Heracross didn't connect. Cyndaquil burned up the area using Lava Plume, the Heracross was burned too and it was knocked out. Harry quickly caught it with a Buzz Ball.

"Heracross, the Single Horn Pokémon. Though gentle and docile, Heracross possesses great strength and power. Their favourite food is the fresh sap of leafy trees.

Abilities- Guts, Swarm, Moxie (Hidden Ability)

This Heracross is a male. It knows- Horn Attack, Aerial Ace, Mega Horn, Night Slash, Bullet Seed, Chip Away, Brick Break, Close Combat, Reversal, Venoshock, Hyper Beam.

Egg moves- Bide, Double Edge, Focus Punch, Rock Blast, Seismic Toss."

Harry nodded and said, "Looks like you have some great moves but needs to master it. Moxie will be good surprise."

After catching their pokemons, they both headed forward. On the way while they were training in a rocky area, Harry found some Donphan's sniffing the ground. The Donphan trainer Rochelle told them that the Donphan's are trying to find amberite, they both decided to help Rochelle. Finally, they found two, Rochelle gave one of them to Daphne for their help.

On their way, they found a city which was getting attacked by the herd of Stantlers, When Harry saw the Herd attack he found out that it was a baby Stantler who was injured and lost. Daphne took care of the baby Stantler and finally caught it.

During a training session, when Harry was training his new Cyndaquil, Heracross, Litleo, Kirlia, Purpitar and Servine a wild Chikorita came out and glared at them. Harry looked at the Chikorita and said, "You want to battle." Chikorita nodded. Harry said, "Then chose any one of them to battle." Chikorita looked around and finally decided to battle Servine and pointed her vine towards her.

"Ok Servine you are up, Leaf Tornado." Chikorita sent her Razor leaf in reply to Leaf Tornado, the two attacks cancelled each other.

"She is strong Servine, Leaf Blade."

Servine hit Chikorita with a leaf Blade but Chikorita got up and used Heavy slam on Servine. Servine finally managed to get out of there but Chikorita sent an Energy Ball towards her.

"Chikorita send it back with Iron Tail." Servine hit the Energy ball backs towards Chikorita. Chikorita was too stunned to dodge and was hit with it.

"Servine end this Leaf Storm." The Leaf Storm hit its target but Chikorita still got up. Harry could see that she was hurt, Daphne who was watching the battle said, "She has a great fighting spirit." Harry nodded and said, "That she has but it can be dangerous for her health. Servine stand down, Chikorita please come here you are hurt let me heal you." Chikorita eyed him for a bit and then came forward. Harry took put some potions and applied on her, "You have a great battling spirit Chikorita but it can get you hurt. You are a good battler and a feisty one at that. Why don't you come with me, I will train you and make you much more stronger?" Chikorita looked at him and then his other pokemons and finally nodded, Harry smiled and caught her in a leaf ball.

"Chikorita, the Leaf Pokémon. Chikorita uses the leaf on its head to scan for warmth and humidity in its surroundings, and loves to sunbathe.

Ability- Overgrow, Leaf Guard (Hidden Ability)

This Chikorita is a female. It knows- Tackle, Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Synthesis, Magical Leaf, Sweet Scent, Light Screen, Body Slam, Energy Ball.

Egg moves- Ancient Power, Body Slam, Counter, Leaf Storm, Grass Knot."

The two finally reached Violet city and after checking up their pokemon they both headed towards the gym. The gym leader Falkner was known to use flying type pokemon.

Referee called out, "This battle for the Zephyr Badge is between gym leader Falkner and the challenger Harry potter. It will be a three on three battle, with only challenger allowed substitution."

Falkner called out, "Hoothoot come out."

Harry called out, "Heracross let's go."

Falkner frowned and said, "I thought you are an experienced trainer but you are sending a bug type against a flying type."

Harry scowled and replied, "For real, you call yourself a gym leader. Rookies think about type advantage not a gym leader."

Falkner glared and called out, "Hoothoot peck."

"Heracross Smackdown." Hoothoot charged towards Heracross but Heracross throwed a boulder at Hoothoot dropping it from the sky."

"Heracross Aerial Ace."

"Dodge it Hoothoot." Harry called out, "What? I mean really, you are a gym leader right. From when aerial ace can be dodged."

The Aerial Ace hit Hoothoot who was trying to fly up to dodge and smacked back in the ground.

Falkner gritted his teeth and called, "Hoothoot Sky Attack." Heracross was hit with the Sky Attack which hurt him badly.

Harry called out, "Heracross end this Hyper Beam." The Hyper Beam hit Hoothoot and knocked it out.

Referee called out, "Hoothoot is unable to battle, gym leader select your next pokemon."

Falkner called out, "Dodrio come out."

"Dodrio Drill Peck." Dodrio was a flying type pokemon that couldn't fly high but can jump very high, it ran towards Heracross to attack with Drill Peck.

"Heracross Earthquake." The earthquake stopped the charging Dodrio.

"Dodrio Tri Attack." Heracross was very much worn out from his previous fights and was hit with the Tri Attack which knocked it out.

Referee called out, "Heracross is unable to battle. Challenger call out your next pokemon."

Harry recalled Heracross and said to Falkner, "Let's see how you handle this bug. Vikavolt go."

"Dodrio Jump Kick."

"Dodge it with Agility and then Thunder Wave."

Vikavolt dodged the Jump Kick and fired Thunder Wave, which hit its mark and paralyzed Dodrio.

"Dodrio Brave Bird." But Dodrio was paralyzed and couldn't attack.

Harry grinned and called out, "Vikavolt end this with Thunderbolt." Thunderbolt hit the paralyzed Dodrio and knocked it out.

Referee declared, "Dodrio is unable to battle. Gym Leader call out your last pokemon."

Falkner said, "You are trying to take out my Flying types with your bugs. I'll show you, Pidgeot Come out. Now Mega Evolve."

Harry just looked at it and nodded, Falkner saw this and looked annoyed. Harry seeing Falkner reaction said, "What you thought I haven't seen mega evolution. For your information, I have my own Mega Pidgeot which I use in my Quidditch game, I am not a bug type trainer I just used them so that they can get prepared to fight with disadvantage. Enough talking Vikavolt Zap Cannon."

Mega Pidgeot was distracted and was unable to dodge the attack but it got up ready for battle.

"Pidgeot, Hurricane then Hyper Beam." Vikavolt was trapped in Hurricane but somehow managed to get out but was hit with Hyper Beam which knocked it out.

Referee announced again, "Vikavolt is unable to battle. Challenger let out your last pokemon."

Harry recalled the fallen Vikavolt and called out, "Shelgon come out."

"Pidgeot Wing Attack."

"Shelgon Dragon Breath." Mega Pidgeot moved towards Shelgon to connect the Wing Attack but Shelgon released a Dragon Breath at the last moment which hit Mega Pidgeot.

"Pidgeot Hurricane." Pidgeot got up and trapped Shelgon in a Hurricane.

"Shelgon try and get out of there." Shelgon tried but was unable to get out so he did what he could. Harry watched as Shelgon struggled then suddenly was enveloped in a white light and evolved into his final stage, the pseudo legendary Salamence.

Harry grinned, "Good work Salamance you can finally fly."

"Pidgeot Steel Wing."

"Salamence Dragon Claw go." Mega Pidgeot Steel wing and Salamence fought for dominance but Dragon Claw came on top.

"End this Salamence Dragon Rush." The Dragon Rush hit Mega Pidgeot and knocked it out of the air.

Referee declared, "Pidgeot is unable to battle, therefore the winner of this battle is the challenger Harry Potter." Harry collected his first Jhoto badge the Zephyr Badge and walked out of the gym. Outside the gym Daphne said, "You knew Shelgon was ready to evolve, that's why you sent him." Harry smiled and answered, "Yes Shelgon was ready, he wanted to fly and always look up towards the sky when others were enjoying so I knew he would evolve soon. You know I think I will try to get all the Pseudo Legendries. I already have Dragonite, Goodra and Salamence, Purpitar will evolve into Tyranitar soon. I just need to find a Beldum, Gible and Deino." Daphne said, "There is another one in Alola too, Kommo-O so you have to catch a Jangmo-O too." Harry nodded and they headed for the Pokemon Centre.

After leaving Violet city Harry and Daphne headed toward Characific Valley. On the way Daphne caught a Marill too. On their way, the both of them found a city where Officer Jenny used a Spinarak instead of usual Growlithe or Arcanine. When they asked about it Officer Jenny replied, "In this town about 100 years ago one of my Ancestor caught a big thief and his Meowth who called himself with the name Black Arachnid with the help of her Spinarak and from that day every Officer Jenny that work in this city uses a Spinarak." Afterwards the two friends helped Officer Jenny to catch another thief who was trying to copy the Black Arachnid.

Harry and Daphne were near the Characific Valley, in the meantime while training Harry's Kirlia and Servine evolved into Gardevoir and Serperior. Daphne's Prinplup finally evolved into Empoleon, her Snover and Fraxure evolved to Abomasnow and Haxorus. They were heading towards the Characific Valley when suddenly a female Charizard landed near them who had a pink ribbon on her neck which hide her Mega Stone. From the back of the Charizard a girl came down and said, "Hey Harry Daphne, how are you? I was just returning from my visit to a friend of mine Clair you will meet her soon."

Daphne and Harry greeted Liza, "Hello to you too Liza, I already told you before that I am challenging the Jhoto League this year, we were nearby so decided to visit. By the way what do you mean we will meet your friend Clair."

Liza laughed and replied, "Well Clair is the Gym Leader of Blackthorn city that will be your last gym. Blackthorn gym is famous for its Dragon type and she is a strong trainer. Do call me when you decide to battle her." Harry nodded as they headed for the Characific Valley.

The Characific Valley was gigantic filled with loads of Charizard when they reached near entrance they found a girl Casey standing near the gate and a Charizard getting beat up by the other wild Charizard's of the valley. Harry called out, "Stop, that will be enough beat down for today." About all Charizard knew Harry because of Harry's own Charizard who was their king so they listened to Harry and stopped attacking Casey's Charizard.

Charlie Weasley came forward, "Hey Harry Daphne it's good to see you."

Harry nodded and said, "You too Charlie?"

Daphne pointed towards Casey who was tending to her Charizard and asked, "What happened with her?"

Charlie replied, "Her name's Casey, she came here with her Charizard and tried to challenge the Charizard's from here."

Harry walked towards Casey and said, "It wasn't a good idea for you to challenge these Charizard's they are some of the strongest within their species."

Casey nodded and said, "My Chameleon recently evolved and he was so strong, I have won every battle with him so I challenged them. They looked strong but I thought maybe I could get some training by battling them but they are way more stronger. Who are you by the way? All of the Charizard listened to you when you told them to stop."

Casey watched as Harry smiled and suddenly a big shiny Charizard came and landed near Harry. The big shiny Charizard was holding some fruits which Harry took and gave to Casey's Charizard. Harry replied, "My family owns this place, the Charizard you are gawking at belongs to me. He is the king here that's why all of the wild or Captured Charizard who stay here know me."

Harry watched as Casey's Charizard ate the fruit and took another one, "Your Charizard is very young and inexperienced, he can't battle these Charizard's. About why they decided to beat him up, Charizard deserve and demand respect your Charizard was arrogant and thought he could win easily against them so they decided to teach him a lesson." Casey nodded her head and said, "Can my Charizard train here for few months, I want to challenge the next year Indigo league." Harry said, "That's not my decision, These Charizard's will train him if they want but first they have to accept." Casey's Charizard walked toward one of the big Charizard and bowed his head they talked between themselves for a bit and then Casey's Charizard flew up and headed out of the gate and got inside the water body which was in front of the Characific Valley entrance.

Casey was about to say something but Liza interrupted her, "Your Charizard is proving himself by staying in the water that what he did earlier was a mistake and he will respect his elders. If or When the other Charizard will be satisfied with him they will call him out of the water." Casey decided to wait outside in the water with her Charizard.

Charlie said, "She is quite stubborn but from what I can see, she cares for all of her pokemon." Harry nodded as Charlie continued, "Your Charizard is also training non-stop I don't know why but he is always training alone or helping others train." Harry looked toward his Charizard and said, "We will control that power Charizard you don't have to worry about it. Don't exhaust yourself with training. You know what, you will be travelling with me and we will control the power of that Mega Evolution together." Charizard nodded in acceptance.

Finally, after 7 hours of staying un the water the Charizard's allowed Casey's Charizard to come back. Casey left her Charizard and his pokeball with Liza who promised to transport Charizard to her if she is any tough battle. While staying in Characific Valley, Harry looked at some business proposals they have got and found that the Kalos regional professor had requested to buy a Charmander. Harry decided to add some new pokemon to the Potter gym roster and replied back to prof. Sycamore for a trade of Charmander and Fennekin to which the prof. agreed.

Harry trained with Charizard for a couple of days trying to control the power of Mega Evolution, Charizard was in a lot more control than when he mega evolved in the Z form for the first time but it was still not enough. Before heading out of the Characific Valley, Harry gave his Aurorus ball to Liza who also had a male Aurorus and said, "I got the Amaura fossil and a Aerodactyl fossil together but I somehow convinced Daphne to let me keep the shiny Amaura. You know her love for Snow types, so I want to breed both mine and your Aurorus and try to get a shiny Amaura. Her birthday is near and I want to give the Amaura egg to her as a birthday present." Liza nodded in understanding and took Harry's Aurorus.

After spending some time in Characific Valley, the two friends continued their journey and headed towards Azalea Town to meet the pokeball expert Kurt.

An: - I like Fennekin but I don't know for some reason I don't like Fennekin second and third evolutions much. Next Kurt and another gym.
