Omake 2: A Prophecy Invoked by a String of Thefts

Deep within the heart of an enchanted forest, a small, white creature with short stubby limbs slept curled up inside of a nest made from star shaped leaves and soft wool. On the creatures head was a golden headdress with three points giving the creature the appearance of wearing a star on its head and attached to each of the points was a single green ribbon that fluttered in the gentle breeze that cavorted about the tree the creature's nest was perched in. The tiny little creature was a Pokémon known as Jirachi, the wish Pokémon.

Jirachi let out a murmur of discontent as the once playful breeze turned into a sudden gale that grew sharp and cold. Chilled, Jirachi shivered in his sleep and curled up on his side as he burrowed deeper into its nest. Unseen by the sleeping Pokémon, inky black hands slipped through the night in the harsh winds that shook the tree where Jirachi had made his nest. The dark hands were transparent like smoke and glowed with a faint red light the color of blood. The hands were also desperate as they wove in and around the tree branches as the roaring wind pulled them ever closer to the sleeping Pokémon.

Two minutes later, the questing fingers of the shadow-like hands wrapped themselves firmly around one of the three wish tags (the green ribbons on Jirachi's headdress). A sharp tug and the tag was torn free as the wind pulled both tag and hands through the trees. The sleeping Jirachi woke with a start the instant the tag had been taken and he let out a sharp cry as he reached up to search the spot where the tag had once been attached. Jirachi sat frozen for several long minutes inside of his nest as he clutched at his headdress; his mind frozen with shock.

Someone had just stolen a wish!

Anger then filled the normally playful Pokémon. He couldn't believe that someone had had the audacity to steal a wish from him! He began searching the forest surrounding his nest for some sign of the thief but only grew angrier when he found no trace of the bandit. Feeling impotent, Jirachi let out a cry of rage that shook the very trees as he shot up into the sky in search of someone who could help him track down the wish thief. When none of the forest dwelling Pokémon could help him, Jirachi left the forest to track down the one being that could both find and punish the thief for daring to steal a wish; Arceus.

Upon arriving at the Court of Arceus, Jirachi found the palace in complete bedlam as Legendary Pokémon from all over the world argued with their counterparts or made demands upon Arceus himself. It did not take long for the small wish Pokémon to discover that he was not the only one who'd been visited by the thief during the night. Palkia's ability to manipulate and warp space, Dialga's ability to warp time, and Giratina's ability to travel between dimensions had all been borrowed without permission. Cresselia, the lunar Pokémon, was being haunted by terrible nightmares that have been resisting all of her attempts to dispel them while her counterpart, Darkrai (the pitch black Pokémon that is sometimes called the nightmare Pokémon), was fervidly denying any involvement with the nightmares that frightened even her.

The rest of the Pokémon present had similar complaints and Jirachi's earlier rage turned to fear as he wondered what kind of being could have possibly affected so many powerful beings. Slipping further into the room, Jirachi soon found himself hovering between a pink cat-like creature and a green fairy-like creature (Mew and Celebi respectfully). Unlike the rest of the legendary Pokémon, the two small creatures were simply curious as to what was happening; the two of them having been drawn to Arceus's Court by the commotion. Jirachi was going to ask the pair if they knew what exactly it was that was going on when a voice cut through the chaos and silence feel across the room instantly.

"Be silent!" Arceus ordered as he stepped down from the dais and swept his gaze out over the assembled creatures that he ruled over. "I realize that you are all unsettled over the recent string of thefts and intrusions but they are the least of our concerns right now. The heavens are shifting and the Prophecy of Darkest Night has been activated. Magic has selected her champion and it was she that pulled upon your gifts so that her chosen one might find his way to our world so that we can prepare him for his destiny."

Frightened and angry mutterings and murmurings filled the courtyard for several minutes before the room fell silent once more as the gathered Pokémon waited to hear what else their venerable leader had to say.

"The Bearded Demon seeks to extinguish Light's Champion and already the Bearded One has done much harm to the Child of Fate. Magic sought us out when she discovered that her chosen champion has been suffering so that we might guide the young one to the Chosen One of Old so that he might be healed. There is only one rule that Magic has commanded we must abide by; we can not be seen by Magic's Chosen nor can the Champion of Pokémon suspect our involvement. We must work in the shadows and lead the child to those who will show him the way."

"Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga; it will be your duty to see to it that the child travels safely between his world and ours. Victini; you will need to seek out a trustworthy agent who can teach the child of his world and lead him free of the darkness that the Bearded Demon has enshrouded his soul within. Darkrai and Cresselia; the two of you are to work together to do what you can to suppress the darkness that has captured the child's dreams until Victini's agent can intervene. Little Mew; I need for you to search the world for a worthy Pokémon companion for the child – he will need someone strong to stand by his side when the times comes for him to face his destiny."

"Mew?" Mew asked even as she nodded acceptance of the task she'd been given.

"Yes, you may select more than one companion; just make certain that the one you send to him first is strong in body, mind, and magic. Celebi; please seek out the Chosen One of Old and make certain that he is in the right place at the right time so that he will cross paths with the Child of Fate the moment the child passes into our world – the child will need his protection. Lugia; I will need you to use your ability to control the weather to make certain that the other humans can not interfere once the Champion of Pokémon has found Magic's Champion. Ho-oh; you will need to watch over the child while he is weak – he can not be allowed to die for if he is lost, then both of our worlds will perish."

Those Pokémon that had been called by name and given orders quickly dispersed while those who had not yet been given a task shifted nervously as they waited for Arceus to tell them what part they were to play in the coming madness. Jirachi shifted uncomfortably as he reached up and fingered his headdress where the stolen wish used to sit and pondered on what he had just learned. His earlier anger, at the nerve of someone daring to steal a wish from him, had dissipated over the course of Arceus's explanation and had he known what the wish was to be used for he would have gladly offered it up if asked. He wondered if one wish would be enough to do what must be done.

As if Arceus had read his mind (which he may well have) the proud ruler of the legendary Pokémon made his way to the diminutive wish Pokémon and addressed him, "Jirachi, I felt your earlier shock and anger when you discovered Magic's theft and on her behalf I shall apologize for the suffering she put you through. There had been no time to seek for your permission as the Child of Prophecy was suffering in both body and mind when he made his desperate wish. His plight is far from over though and I would ask a boon of you; would you be willing to give your final two wishes to the Champion of Pokémon and Fate's Child? They will have need of your special brand of luck in order to help them through the coming trials."

Jirachi moved his hand to one of the two remaining wish tags that fluttered about his headdress and fingered the small ribbon thoughtfully as he gave Arceus's request serious consideration. After a minute, he pulled both ribbons free and used one of them to duplicate the final wish so that there were now six wish tags hanging in the air between the two Pokémon. Three of the fluttering tags had the name Harry Potter written upon them while the other three had the name Ash Ketchum scrawled down their length; the extra wish for the child Jirachi's way of saying that he'd forgiven both Magic and the child for the theft of the first wish.

"Your generosity shall not be forgotten my young friend," Arceus murmured as the tags shimmered in blue light before they vanished with a soft pop. "I shall see to it that one of our number watches over the wishes to ensure that they will be used only when our efforts can not help our champions persevere through the coming trials. If you wish to return to your slumber; you may. Or if you wish to join the others in watching over our two charges you are more than welcome to do so."

Jirachi nodded and immediately teleported himself to Celebi's side. He wished to see the man that had been the child that once saved their world and so that he could gaze upon the face of the new Child of Prophecy. The small wish Pokémon was not surprised to find nearly all of the other legendary Pokémon scattered about the field that Giratina had chosen as the child's entrance into their world; they were all curious to see the boy that Prophecy, Fate, and Magic had chosen as their champion. Knowing what the child looked like and seeing for themselves how pure his soul was would help them better know how to help and guide him.

When the tiny child finally slipped out through the portal door, all of the legendary Pokémon shifted in anger as they gazed upon the timid and near broken child; their hearts breaking for the suffering they could feel weighing down his soul. The darkness that wrapped around that bright soul sickened and angered the powerful Pokémon for they could feel the wrongness within the shadows that threatened to drown the child. And then they gasped in wonder and surprise as they finally felt the tiny tendrils of magic that escaped from the bindings of darkness; beneath the bindings of evil lay an untapped wealth of power. The most amazing thing about that well of power was the innocence and purity it radiated despite the choke-hold of darkness that was suppressing it.

This child was worth the effort they would need to expend to guide him without letting the humans know of their interference.

Jirachi stayed just long enough to witness Ash Ketchum's daring and selfless rescue of Fate's Child before he transported himself back to his enchanted forest. As he curled up in his nest once more, the tiny wish Pokémon smiled in contentment knowing that he'd helped play a part in saving the savior and that both of Prophecy's Children would find all they needed in each other with the help of his brothers and sisters.

AN: And cut! There you have it ladies and gentlemen… the reason why the legendary Pokémon didn't make an appearance in the actual story despite the impact that Harry had upon the Pokémon World and a glimpse of how it was that Harry actually managed to reach the Pokémon World out of all the other universes he could have potentially ended up in. It was also a hint to the hows and whys Harry ended up where he did, how he survived that first harrowing year, and how the other Pokémon he met (specifically the unown and Hypno) knew what they knew about Harry and his world.

You can expect future omakes showing specific events where a specific legendary intervened on Harry's behalf but I don't know when they'll be posted as they still have not yet been written. For now, I hope you enjoyed this short. ~ Jenn
