Chapter 11
"Prof. McGonagall." Misty calls. The elderly witch turns around and smiles friendly at the girl. "Prof. McGonagall, do you know where I can find Prof. Snape. I was supposed to help him with his Pikachu."
"Follow me, he is probably in the teachers lounge." Is the answer of the witch. They walk through the hallways together.
"Professor, do you already know more about how we got here?" Misty asks.
"We are starting to find little things. Don't worry about it. We will find it out." They reach the teachers lounge, the professor opens the door and says with a smile: "Severus, Misty is here for you."
Snape sighs, turns around and walks towards the door. He nods to Prof. McGonagall and walks into the hallway, and there he sees what he was afraid of he would be seeing, a happily smiling, redheaded girl. He sighs again and says: "Miss." with a nod.
"Goodmorning, Prof. Snape. You really can call me Misty." He just decides not to react to this comment.
"What is the best place to train Eos?" He asks.
"Eos!" Misty says cheerfully. "What a cute name!" Again she smiles at Snape. He shakes his head and he decides to ignore this comment too.
"Where is the best place to train, miss." He says.
"Oh… right…" mutters Misty. "Outside I think. There is a lot of open space there. Eos isn't trained jet, so, the best place to train is somewhere she can't hit anything she shouldn't hit."
"Outside it is." Snape walks towards the doors that will lead him even further from his quiet dungeons. It is nice weather and a Sunday, lots of the students will be outside too. Snape takes a deep breath and tries to find a way to survive today.
"Prof. Snape." He hears the girl next to him say. "Can I ask you something?"
He nods an affirmation.
"Is it true that you know a lot about potions?"
"I am the potionsmaster here, Miss."
"Right," Misty says. "We use, for our Pokemon, when there isn't a Pokemoncenter nearby, potions."
Snape is getting interested. "Go on."
"I don't know how long we will be here, but we don't have much of them, and…" she takes a deep breath. "And now I hoped if you would look at them." Her look is full of hope.
Snape stops and ponders for a while. And the more he thinks about it, the more he sees the benefits. When he is analyzing potions he can lock himself safely in his office and he might even find out where these trying guests come from. And when he knows that, sending back these muggles should become easier all the time. "And when they left, I will never have to look at smiling girls, the kind that use the word cute all the time." He thinks hopefully.
"Allright," he says. "I will examine the potions."
"Oh, thanks!!!" Misty says. "That is really nice of you."
Snape growls: "I am not nice!"
Misty just smiles.
Snape walks on to a big field between the lake and the castle. "Is this good enough to train at?" It is a question, but the tone of his voice says 'woo on the one who dares to say no!'.
"Excellent," Misty says.
Snape looks around and sees scattered around the field several groups of students. He rubs his eyes and says: "Right, proceed."
Misty puts Togepi in the grass and lets all her Pokemon out to play. "Psyduck?"
"Psy?" says the yellow animal.
"Do watch out for Togepi for me?"
"Psy!" He says while he wobbles after Togepi.
"So," she turns to Snape and his Pikachu. "And now Pikachu. Pikachu are stronger then the look when you see them first. Their type is electric, and their attacks are electric type too. Like you already saw, she can make lightning bolts." Misty pauses for a moment to look at Snape. He nods, so she goes on. "A Pokemon usually grow in levels because of the experience they get during fighting. These fights can be to help their trainer or in competitions. The stronger the trainer the better the Pokemon will listen. Of course is a happy Pokemon more loyal then an unhappy one. When you are nice to your Pokemon working together will go easier." She smiles at Snape. "But I guess that you already noticed that, because Eos listens really good to you, she loves you."
"That word again," Snape growls. "Love… Cute…" he shudders.
"Maybe we should first find out what moves your Pikachu already knows." She turns around to look towards the lake. "Ash!!!" she calls. "Ash… come over here for a moment!!!"
Ash stands up and walks reluctantly over to Misty and Snape. "Professor." He nods towards Snape. "What is it, Misty."
"Can you check what kind of moves Eos already knows?"
"Eos?" Ash asks surprised.
Misty just points at the Pikachu on Prof. Snape's shoulder.
"Ahhh… Right." Ash gets out his PokeDex and looks at the moves.
"Thundershock, Quick Attack, Double team en Thunderwave." He shakes his head, "nothing special for a Level 15 Pikachu."
"No not really… but no Growl." Notices Misty. "And I clearly heard her growl at breakfast."
Ash looks straight at her and says: "You know my opinion about the growling." Then he turns around and walks back to Brock and their new friends.
Snape watches the boy leave: "His opinion?" he says.
"Yes," starts Misty carefully. "He thinks that Eos growls, because you growl."
Severus looks with a raised eyebrow at the girl. Misty smiles insecurely, "well, it isn't very usual for a Pikachu to growl."
"Right."
After a short silence, Misty says: "Maybe we should have her try out her attacks on an other Pokemon, that way you can see what happens."
"An other Pokemon?" First he looks at Misty's Pokemon and then at the two boys from the other dimension. "I don't think your friends will want to help, miss." Is Snape's simple answer
"No," Misty sounds disappointed. "But I am sure that Meowth will help, or one of Team Rocket's other Pokemon. They are afraid of you, did you notice?"
Snape just looks at the girl, one corner of his mouth curls up a little. It isn't a real smile, but it is probably the nearest thing to one that Misty will see on the professor's face. She smiles at him. "I will go get them, I'm back in a few moments." With a happy skip, she runs toward the castle.
"Jesse, this isn't really a bad live." James says, while stretching himself. Team Rocket is sitting on one of the steps to the big doors. Meowth is lying down in the sun, it makes him look like an ordinary cat. For a second it looks like he is going to purr. "True," says the hairy team member. "If you don't think about Snape for a while, it is almost like a good dream. Food, quiet, sun… just like a vacation." He takes a deep breath.
"Wobbaaaa…"
"What are you doing here, you blue blob. I didn't call you." Jesse grumbles.
"Wobbuffet!!!" says Wobbuffet.
"Ah, just let him be." James says kindly. "Maybe we should let all Pokemon wander around for a while." With those words he calls our Victreebel and Weezing. Jesse shrugs her shoulders and calls out Arbok. "Enjoy the sun for a while." Jesse tells her Pokemon. "Yes, you too." James says. Victreebel looks at his trainer, for a moment it looks like he is going to attack, like he always does, but he reconsiders and plops down in the grass. James sighs in relieve.
"Ah, there you are." Misty calls out to them. "You have to help Prof. Snape with training his Pikachu."
"We don't have to do anything at all, twerp." Jesse counters.
"Oh, do you want me to call the professor, but I don't think he would like to walk from the field al the way here." Misty get a big grin on her face when she sees Team Rocket's reactions.
"Ehm, what do we need to do." James queries, he sounds scared and insecure.
"Nothing much at all. I just want to show him what his Pikachu can do. One of your Pokemon just has to stand there and endure her attacks."
"Is that all," James says relieved. "Just take Wobbuffet."
"Yes," Meowth adds. "That blue thing is useless anyway. He just gets under foot all the time."
"Okay, Jesse are you coming?" Misty says.
"Do you need me to come?" Jesse says.
"Yes, of course. You are Wobbuffet's trainer." Misty glares at Jesse.
Jesse reluctantly gets up to follow the redheaded twerp. "Why me, why does it always have to be me." She thinks. "Come here, blue good for nothing." She snaps at Wobbuffet.
Misty turns to watch the rest of Team Rocket and says: "Why don't you all come to watch, you might even learn something. And when we need an other Pokemon, I don't have to walk back here."
"Yeah," says Jesse. "That is a great idea. Come on, you lazy bums."
Now James and Meowth get up too. They aren't happy about this disruption of the morning that seemed to start so good, but none of them fell like infuriating Prof. Snape.
After a short walk they reach the professor, who is still standing in the same spot as he was before.
"Ah, Team Rocket." He says.
"Sir." Stammer the arrivers. Misty notices that Team Rocket bow down for the professor, she laughs.
"Miss, can we proceed now." He just has heard to much laughter in the last 24 hours and he longs for the soothing sound of a potion stewing in a cauldron.
"Jesse, can you make Wobbuffet stand still over there?" Jesse glares at the girl, but she reconsiders and does what the twerp asks. "I will get back at here when we are back in Jotho." She comforts herself with that thought.
"Prof. Snape, Eos needs to stand there." Misty points at a spot across from Wobbuffet.
"Eos." Snape says and points at the spot. The yellow animal jumps from Snape's shoulder and walks over there.
"Wow." Misty says in admiration. "She obeys already."
Snape nods.
"Okay, now we will try out the attack one at a time. You just need to say her name and the name of the move."
"Eos. Thundershock." Snape says. At that moment lightning bolts start to form at Eos' cheeks. And then Wobbuffet is hit. "Wobbuuuu…" Says the blue thing, he looks at Jesse. "No, Wobbuffet, don't do anything."
Snape nods. "Very impressive." He says. He makes Eos try all the attacks. "Very impressive indeed."
"Maybe it is a good idea to have her try them all again." Misty says, besides that the little one needs the training, Misty is really enjoying the whole situation. "Maybe with one of the other Team Rocket Pokemon. Meowth?" she smiles sweetly at the Pokemon that did try to rob her often over the last few years.
"That sounds good." Snape says and looks at the cat-like Pokemon, who doesn't dare to say no anymore.
And again Eos tries out all her attacks. "Try them all again." Encourages Misty the professor and Eos. Again all the attacks are done. After the last Thundershock Meowth collapses. He is beaten. Okay, he didn't offer any resistance, but still, Eos won her first Pokemon battle.
"I am sure she grew an other level. Meowth is an higher level then her. You did great, Eos." Babbles Misty
"Eos." Snape says, the yellow animal listens right away and jumps on his shoulder. "If you give me those potions now, I will look at them for you."
"Oh, right, they are in my backpack. Ash and Brock have some too. Can you come to the Gryffindortower with me?"
Snape looks tiredly at the girl. "Just bring them to me at lunch." He turns around and leaves.
The members of Team Rocket take a relieved breath. "He is gone." James says. "Thank goodness."
Misty turns around and looks at the Team in anger. "You better beware, he just might have heard you."
In shock they look at the long man, who is leaving. Misty giggles and walks happily over to Ash and Brock to tell them the good news about the potions.
A relieved Team Rocket drops down in the grass. "This we did survive." Meowth comments. "Yes and without flying away." Jesse confirms.
"Prof. McGonagall." Misty calls. The elderly witch turns around and smiles friendly at the girl. "Prof. McGonagall, do you know where I can find Prof. Snape. I was supposed to help him with his Pikachu."
"Follow me, he is probably in the teachers lounge." Is the answer of the witch. They walk through the hallways together.
