So here we are! Another chapter so early but I was in the mood! Or maybe it was because I got more comments! Keep them coming people! I love them! Also I was talking to Mr. Chaos and got some ideas, this fic is in fact inspired by their Pokemon harry potter fic..anyway I hope you all enjoy this fic. Leave a comment!
Green eyes stare at the black cold eyes. Neither of them blinked. Aria tired to keep staring so she wouldn't have to look at her Head of House Office. While the shelves full of many sorts of herbs were interesting, the pickle ingredients that she was sure were body parts.
Behind her was Flint who was explaining the their Head of House what he saw, "No hesitation sir as soon as the Nidoran started freaking out she grabs the Snag Ball and throws it..the Nidoran didn't even fight it..with training I'm sure she will be a wonder member of our team as a Catcher,"
Aria could see that Snape had a sour look on his face and he glared at her. Aria keeps her face blank from years of practice from the Dursleys..not showing any emotion..she swears she saw Snape flinched at that.
"Sir..with Higgs focusing on his Final Exams we need a new Catcher and Potter is the one, I just know it!" Flint pleads, his eyes looking at Potter a bit before looking back at his head of house..everyone knew how much Severus Snape hated James Potter and he hopes to the Gods and Goddess that Snape wouldn't let his hate for the man blind him on how much they needed a new Catcher. This time they might actually beat Wood and his team since Charlie Weasley graduated last year.
Aria stares at those blackish brown eyes before he gives a curt nod, "Very well..I better hear you are training well Potter and not slacking off.." and with that Snape leaves.
Aria sits there for a minute as Flint tells her that practices will start next week and three times a day.. she numbly listens to him, nodding her head before they both leave the office.
Flint nods to her before walking down the hall, Aria takes a deep breath trying to calm her heart down. Her hands shaking, she runs...she didn't know where she was going but she just knew she… just needed to get away..
"Freak get in your cupboard!"
"You blasted child.."
"Your parents were drunks! You were an accident! They never cared for you!"
"You freak! You will just end up on the streets! Just like my dratted sister!"
Aria could feel her Aura rising when something grabs her, she struggles in the hold before she feels a gentle shushing in her ear, "Calm down Lass..its me..calm down," Aria, tired from the whole week, from classes, students to Draco Malfoy falls limp in Lyn's hold.
She curls up as Lyn slowly sits down, not even fighting as the older woman takes out her Pokeball and releases Hedwig. The little Noibat blinks and looks around before feeling her trainer's distress. Aria smiles a bit as she hiccups, cuddling to Hedwig
"Alright Lass, take deep breaths..tell me what you feel," hearing Lyn's voice was soothing and she follows the instructions, taking deep breaths..she grips at Lyn's jacket, "I..I feel your blue jacket..I feel the threads that are poking out," she takes another shudder breath, "I feel your fingers brushing my hair..I feel Hedwig," she giggles as Hedwig gives her a little nibble on her chin.
Feeling better she opens her eyes, which blink at where she was. The two witches were sitting on a beach, rocks jutted from the ocean. Aria blinks as Krabby scuttled around, blowing bubbles which catches the light from the sunset.
Lyn smiles at her, "It's beautiful isn't it? When I lived here I would always come to this place..when I felt down or I need a break..when the weather is good, the Krabby come out at sundown to blow bubbles,"
Aria wipes at her face before she giggles when Hedwig tries to snap at one of the bubbles, "Sorry Lyn.."
Lyn shakes her head, "There is nothing to be sorry about Lass..its fine that you feel overwhelmed..the life you had before I found you in the snowy Wild Area isn't a life any child should have.."
Aria nods her head while softly petting Hedwig's black feathers. She then looks up when Lyn holds out a Dr. Thundurus for her. During the month living with Lyn, Aria has gained a love for this soda.
"So..what did you do with your Aura last night?" Lyn asks, making Aria sputter a bit after taking a sip. Aria bits at her lip as she taps the soda, looking down at the sand.
"Malfoy..tried to..show me my place..so I use my Aura to imitate him and the other Slytherins," she softly sips at her drink why Lyn sighs, "Sorry…"
"I'm not mad Aria..I just want you to be careful.." Aria looks up at this with a tilt of her head.
"Am I..not supposed to use my Aura? Does it have to do with the King that tried to destroy Aura all those years ago?" Aria was surprised to see Lyn flinched.
"So you heard about that huh?" at Aria's nod she sighs, "While yes a King decided to kill anyone who could use Aura or had potential for it..that's not why I want you to be careful with using your Aura..for one I want you to have more training to use it..you may accidentally hurt someone with your lack in control..and I don't want more eyes on you right now,"
Aria shudders at the thought of more eyes staring at her than they are right now, Hedwig nuzzles her to calm her down.
The two sit in silence sipping their drinks, "Can you tell me more about the Gods? Like I heard that some didn't like how Drecual was teaching humans how to bond with Pokemon,"
Lyn nods her head, "Yes..eight of them did not like the thought of humans, their slaves getting stronger..getting smarter..soon those seven were attacking any settlement of humans that dare bond with Pokemon..there was Po Kong; Goddess of Rock, Xiao Fung; God of Ice, Tchang Zu; God of Electric. Tso Lan; God of the Dark, Dai Gui; God of the Ground, Hsi Wu; God of Flyings , Bai Tza Goddess of Water and their leader, Shendu; God of Fire
At each name Aria shudder's, it felt like the one time Dudley had forced her to do the ice bucket challenge..like ice crawling down her spine. Lyn raises her hand , her Aura making a vision where humans were bowing to eight figures that were hidden in the shadows but Aria could see their glowing red eyes.
"They are known today as the Eight Demon Gods and they declared war on Dechraul and those who sided with her. The War lasted for years and years, many humans died and some Gods even faded..it ended when three brothers, disciples of Dechraul, Arafiola and Ysbryda.. Those three brothers," Lyn sighs at this, "It was dark times Aria during the War of Gods..the eldest brother was a servant of Shendu, forced to fight or his younger brothers would be killed. He was struck down, blood pouring out of his chest but because he was just a tool he was laid forgotten. He would have died if it wasn't for him being found by a young Mienfoo."
"The young Pokemon took him to where Dechraul's army was camp and they healed him..they showed him compassion and what strength came from bonding with Pokemon. Dechraul, seeing such potential, taught him how to use his inner Aura. He became stronger than ever, even more strong when he was under Shendu's rule..he was even able to save his brothers,"
Aria watches as Lyn draws a straight line into the sand, "Arafiola and Ysbryda rarely agree after their fight agree on this. If the eldest had so much potential then so must the other two..Arafiola took in the second brother..who no longer wanted to feel emotions..his bride was eaten by Po Kong was taught in the ways of the mind, bonding with a Slowking. He became a literal barrier for the army, saving many people's lives,"
This time Lyn drew a circle around the straight line, "Then there was the youngest brother..he was weak and small..also sick that he was on the verge of death. It was no wonder Ysbryda took him under her wing. She showed him how to use the ghostly energy of Aura to his advantage. He was so..so strong that not even Ysbryda could find him unless he wanted her too. And then there was his partner..a Marshadow..those two were very much strong together."
And at that moment Lyn draws a triangle, enclosing the both line and circle, "They became known as the Deathly Hallows for even the Demon Gods were beginning to fear them..the three brothers knew they needed to end the war. Using a powerful Aura Spell they banished all eight to another Realm so they could no longer hurt anyone..the other Gods then fade..to sleep off their wounds and to let the humans grow on their own.."
While Lyn becomes silent Aria stares as the bubbles flow by and then she sighs, "I'm never going to learn.." at Lyn's confusing glance Aria groans.
"There's so much I don't know..people expect great things of me but I don't even know our history..our culture..I'm suppose to be the next Countess Potter and..all of them had lessons while growing up..they know their history since they were able to walk..how can I be.." she stops when Lyn places a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't think like that Aria Lily Potter..yes you may be behind but have a smart mind..you are curious about everything and you have a thirst to learn.." she pulls Aria into a hug, "and don't worry about your family history..I'm getting some friends of your parents..people who should had raise you but weren't allowed to come see you at the beginning of summer.."
Aria blinks at that before Hedwig pulls her attention away by squeaking when a bubble pops in her face.
Fingers tapping on the arm rail ignoring the chains that kept him bound. His gray eyes stare at the people who dare glare at him. Oh he knew what they were thinking..why were they there? He was a traitor and there doesn't need for any trial for this!
Just wait til I show the mark on the little rat!" he grins showing his fangs which made people squirm.
Looking up when the door opens and he glares at the man who walks in and stares in shock. When he thought of this man, he had hopes that the guilt would had eaten away at his soul but by the looks of it, he had no guilt for what he did. His long mousy brown hair was unkempt and reached to his shoulders, tied in a ponytail. He wore a black suit but one arm sleeve hangs limply at the side.
His watery blue eyes stare in fear, which makes the man smile even more, "Hello Peter," he fight the urge to lunge for the rat, "Long time no see,"
"Si-Sirius Black?!" Peter gulps taking a step back, his blue eyes looking for an escape which didn't go unnoticed by the other people. Catching the sight of Rose he gulps, "Chairman Rose!? Why is he out of..out of Azkaban?!"
Sirius holds back the shudder of the place that he has been kept for 10 years..hidden deep in the mountain of the Crown Tundra guarded by Nihilego. They were summoned by Ekrizis during his years of studies there..doing terrible things to both Pokemon and humans..when he died the portal he had opened was closed and the Nihilego were trapped in this dimension. In 1718, Chairman Rowle insisted on using the mountain fortress as a prison..for not just Galar but for all the Regions.
"Ah, Baron Pettigrew! Well it seems that my predecessor never gave Earl Black..
I know that some people on the Council thinks this shouldn't be necessary.." Chairman Rose eyes some of the people sitting around him.
The Council is what makes up the ruling body of Galar..while the Gym Leaders were the protectors of their respective city..these people who used to be Gym Leaders rule..one of the reasons why Lucius Malfoy wants to become a Gym Leader.
"I think we should get started," Amelia Bones, while not on the Council was in charge of the Ace Trainers and Officer Jennies. Her face was pinched and Sirius knew why.. "Baron Pettigrew if you are so sure in your innocence then you shouldn't be so worried of this Trial.." she then turns her head to Sirius Black.
"Sirius Black you are here for the deaths of Lily and James Potter, how do you plead,"
"Not guilty," he states clearly and he loved the way the rat squirm. Amelia nods her head at this.
"State your reason for that,"
"Easily Viscountess Bones," he says her title in respect and as his training for an Heir of the Ancient and Noble House of Black taught him, "Because of Lily. No one knew that Lily Potter was in fact an budding Aura User," he could hear whispers, "The thing is that she could never get the training for it because of her standing," he growls out in anger, "We learn this after James and Lily married and James gladly gave her the books that the Potter Family had have for years..Lily became a wonder for their barrier spells..when they need to go into hiding Lily did the Teulu Barrier,"
Everyone gasps at this and Sirius understands why. The Telu Barrier was the most powerful barrier powered not by Aura but by the bonds of friendship. "We used mine, Remus and Peter's friendship with James to hide the house..it was brilliant..it should had worked.." tears stream down his face and he turns his head to Peter, "If only we knew how much a rat you were even when you weren't bonded to Wormtail," Peter sputters but glares.
"I was home with Remus..he was helping me care for Piers...the little guy was still upset..still crying for Marlene," he thinks of his wife and husband..Marlene was lucky enough to be alive after her family was attacked..she luckily only lost a leg and was at the hospital recovering. "But we both felt the spell breaking..the painful heartache from the backlash..I first went to the Potter's hiding house in Serene Hollow Village..destroyed completely..I ran in and saw him...he was about to grab little Ari but I stop him..I..I would had grabbed Ari but I chased after Peter when I saw he had Allister,"
"Allister?" Barty Crouch Senior asks with a raised eyebrow and Sirius has to hold back a growl at this man..he was in charge of trials but he never got one..
"Allister James Potter..their youngest son of Lily and James..Lily gave birth to him on May 10 1981 during their year of hiding..they were going to introduce him when they got out of hiding. I went after Peter..and lost sight of him..when I caught up to him in Wyndon," he takes a shuddering breath, "Allister was nowhere in sight..before I could demand where he was, Peter was yelling how I betrayed them before he had his Golem use explosion, the blast sending me flying and hitting my head, knocking me out..the next thing I knew I was waking up in Azkaban.."
"Lies! All Lies!" Peter started to shout out, "You are all falling for his tricks! Who knows what He-Who-must-Not-Be-Name has taught him! What he has learned from his family..oh I knew this day would come..you can never trust the family that served Tso Lan with pride!"
"What has my family taught me? HA!" He laughs loudly making people wince, "You of all people should know me better Petey..I HATE MY FAMILY! Almost as much as Bellatrix hates you! I heard her whisper in her cell..she is very much close to becoming a host to the Nihilego..they love her the most you know..they flock to her when she starts muttering on how she is going to rip you apart for tricking Voldemort," he sneers at Peter when he flinches, "Oh don't like hearing the name of your master Peter? "
"I..I don't know what you mean he stutters.." his eyes looking around to find any help but no one was looking at him..they all stare at him with looks of disgust..
"You always did like be around those who were the strongest.." he looks down, "We should had realize..we should had realize it was you..you were the spy…" he glares up at Peter his gray eyes glowing and everyone steps back as Sirius's shadow seems to wiggle in his anger, "How fun was it..knowing that all those deaths..the McKinnons..The Prewitts..the Bones! All their blood is on your hands Peter! Are you proud of yourself!?"
Before Peter could open his mouth, Amelia stands up, "There is a way to prove that Earl Black is telling the truth..those who breaks the Telu Barrier spell..gains the Mark of Ysbryda for breaking such a spell..to be branded.." her eyes narrow on Peter, "And the fact that Sirius supposedly cit your hand off..I order you to show your arm Baron Pettigrew.."
"Wait..you can't..he's lying.." he tries to find an excuse but two Ace Trainers come by and grab him. One pushes the sleeve up.
It was no shock to everyone to see the disgusting ooze that was once Peter's arm. He tried to cover it with bandages but it drips a yellowish sort of ooze..a black sort of mark wiggles on his skin. Gasps of horror came out before screams and shouts of rage echos through the room.
"Peter Pettigrew you are hereby sentence for betraying James and Lily Potter, for the kidnapping of Allister Potter..for the murder of thirteen people on the bridge you exploded, for possibly many more people during the war andfor framing Earl Sirius Black! I sentence you to life in Azkaban!"
"NOOOOOO!" Peter wails elbowing the Ace Trainer in the gut before releasing Wormtail, his Alolan Rattata, "Kill him! Kill Sirius!" the Rattata hisses before leaping for Sirius, his fangs glowing for a Super Fang to his neck. More people then scream when a white blur jumps out of the stands with a paw glowing with dark energy and striking Wormtail in the face.
Sirius pants a bit in relief as more Ace Trainers storm in grabbing Peter and Wormtail..making sure to grab his Trainer Belt. He hears a grunt and soft fur brushing against his hand, "Looks like you saved me again..eh Padfoot?" the Absol gives a happy bark before the Disaster Pokemon leaps up and licks his face.
He laughs, tears streaming down his face..not really hearing Amelia saying that he was a free man..that the Galar League will take any bills from the hospital.
"You'll never find him!" Peter screams, "You will never find the little brat! Rakepick made sure of that!"
Sirius blinks but he couldn't think as he was dragged away, Padfoot staying close to him as the people around him explain that he was going to St. Mungos..he looks around but smiles seeing the blue and amber eyes of his lovers.
He..he had hope..hope for the future..hope to see Little Ari..hope in finding Allister no matter what the rat said..
Aria sighs and yawns as she walks up the steps. She had spent hours on the beach training and was now..so very tired..
"Ari!" looking up she sees Leon, Piers, Neville, Ron and Raihan waiting for her by the stairs, "Are you ok? What did Flint want?"
"You were gone for so long?"
"We heard that you ran out of the castle..you're not in trouble are you! Its my fault!"
"If bloody Flint made you upset I'll sick my brothers on him!"
Leon walks down to her and grabs her hand, "Are you ok? You looked tired.."
"Well I wish there wasn't a rumour mill about me," she mutter as she yawns but nods her head and explains what happened. All of them were now staring at her with wide eyes which makes her squirm.
"Catcher..as a first year?! That's amazing," but then Ron groaned, "Great Slytherin is going to win for the next seven years.." Aria smiles at Ron while the others clap her on the back in congratulations. But then at that moment the staircase begins to move, making them grab the railing.
"What the bloody hell?!"
"The staircases move by psychic types, remember?!" Raihan grips the railing when the staircase finishes moving in front of a door, "Come on let's go before they decided to move again..this door must lead somewhere close to the Great Hall,"
Nodding at that they follow Raihan through the door, but just as entering the room. Aria shudders at the creepy statue covered in cobwebs.
"Does anyone feel like..we shouldn't be here," Ron whispers but then jumps up a bit when a voice answers him from behind.
"We're not suppose to be here," Hermione states rolling her eyes as Ron yells where did she come from, "I was right behind Aria..I was going to ask if she was ok too..and that stairs is the closet to the Great Hall from the library..anyway this is the third floor..its forbidden,"
""Lets get out of here before we're caught," Aria reasons and they turn..to stare at none other than Mrs. Norris..Mr. Flich's Delcatty.
"Mraw," Mrs. Norris narrows her black eyes at them and hisses.
"Run before she Sings you to sleep!" Leon grabs Aria's hand and they run down the corridor. Litwicks light up their path as they ran and Aria points at the door, "Quick! Hide behind the door!" Luckily for them the door was not locked and they charge in. Slamming it shut..they took deep breath..waiting to hear Mr. Flich's voice..
"He must think it's lock..this whole corridor should be lock," Hermione mumbles, "I mean it is forbidden.."
"For a good reason," Neville mutters in fear, clutching Trevor closer to him with wide eyes. They all turn and stare..
The room wasn't a room..but a room filled with purplish red aura..Aria had to take deep breaths to calm her own racing heart as the very energy seemed to make her very being feel like she had a 12 pack of soda. But that was't what the others were worried about. Standing in front of them, with their three necks bending to even stand was a large three headed bird that was wingless. Each head had a long sharp beak and a black v-shaped feather crest along with brown feathers covering its heads and upper bodies. It was just staring at them, its three pair of black eyes narrowing at them.
"A..a Dynamx Dodrio.." Hermione whispers in fear.. "We must have surprised it by charging in..it must be overthinking right now which is why it hasn't attacked.."
At that moment the very large Dodrio caws at them, "I think it's done thinking!" Leon screams and Hermione nods her head, pulling her Pokeball free from its trainer belt, "Crookshanks! Fake Out!"
The Alolan Meowth comes out and slaps the middle head, making it flinch and shake its head, not needing any orders the group of seven run out, slamming the door shut as the three beaks try to peck at them before running out of the corridor.
Somehow they made it to the entrance of the Great Hall..no one caring about the group of First Years who were sweaty and panting.
"What do you think they're doing..keeping a Pokemon like that..locked up in a school," Ron raves and Aria could see him gripping his arm. Seeing her concern he waves her off, "It just got my sleeve but how am I going to explain to my brothers?"
"You don't use your eyes do you?" Hermione pants making the others turn their head to her. She was clutching Crookshanks tightly, making the Meowth grumble a bit.
"I think I was too preoccupied with its heads..if you haven't noticed..it has bloody three!" Piers yells, "And don't say it's natural I know but you hardly ever see a damn Dodrio in Galar! They aren't common!"
"It was standing on a trap door which means its guarding something," Hermione says ignoring Piers making him groan.
"Guarding something?" Leon asks and Hermione nods her head.
"That's right..now if you six don't mind..I'm going to get something to eat then go to bed before any of you gets an idea that will get us killed or worse expelled," with that Hermione nods her head to Aria before she heads to the Ravenclaw table.
"She needs to sort out her priorities," Ron mumbles and Raihan makes a grunt of agreement before helping Neville up.
Aria stares, her mind thinking..Hermione says that the Dodrio was guarding something..she remember Ron saying that Hagrid picked something up from Gringotts..that Hagrid was supposed to take her to Diagon Alley on her birthday which was the very day on her birthday.." as they headed to their tables Aria stared at the Headmaster who she noticed was staring at her. If Aria was used to catching people staring at her (even long before Hogwarts) she wouldn't have noticed..but he was..with a mad twinkle in his eyes.
"That door should have been locked..but it wasn't..he also has control of the psychic types that move the stairs since he is the Headmaster..he could easily have.." her eyes narrow she sits down and brings food to her plate.
"I don't know what your plan is old man..but I'm not a tool for you to test..and neither are my friends..but I'll play your little game of chess right now..but soon..you will learn that I am no pawn,"
Yep! Thanks to Mr. Chaos..I deicied to take things from Jackie Chan Adventures! The eight Demon Sorccers are now the Eight Demon Gods! Hope you all like the legends I made about the three brothers.
