Hey everyone,
Yep, another challenge and this one is HIGHLY interesting. It's actually another one of DZ2's challenges, yet I gave my own twist to the whole thing here and there and I got to say, I think I turned a really, really bad event – into something absolutely fabulous that I think a lot of you will agree on me with.
It's another crossover and it's again one of Harry Potter and Pokémon. I know, the hype for that seems to be growing and when I first started writing down this series, did DZ2 show up with this challenge. Instantly I loved it, but I still had the other challenges to write out, so I had to put this one on hold for a while.
Well, the waiting's over,

Challenge #8
The Other Chosen
"I will not allow for this to happen." Goes through my mind as Sirius and I are fighting with all of our strength to keep the two Death Eaters opposite of us from gaining the upper hand, both of us blocking spells for each other and ourselves and sending off return fire with everything our arsenal of spells can deliver for us.
The Death Eater on the left is the first to leave the stage and while I am shocked at how Sirius replies to this by calling me by my father's name, had part of me been expecting such a turn of events as the man had spent almost the entire last year stuck in a place where he only had bad memories and an aggravating woman to settle with.
This was something I knew would work against my godfather and his mental and physical health and while it seems that Sirius is still as capable of delivering a varied arrange of spells, charms and curses, does he seem to have withdrawn into his own memories, at least partially, as he must be believing that this is a fight with my dad.
Feeling that I will reprimand and get back at those responsible for this at a later time, do I suddenly feel every nerve in my body stand on end, the time and movement of those around me somehow slowing down as I see a swirling vortex of black mist flying over our heads and the Veil beside us and over to the circular wall.
There, the mist changes, even slower than before, into a woman who already has her wand aimed at both my godfather and me and the minute she lands is the minute she shoots a curse our way; and not just any curse. "Avada Kedavra!" The words of the Killing Curse leave the witch's lips and the terrifying green light escapes her wand.
At this point it seems as if time itself has been shot with an Impedimenta hex as I can almost see the light on her wand turning green, changing from ball-form to the shape of a beam of light, breaking free from its tip and do I – with dread filling up every organ in my body – see it heading for the one person I care for more than anyone else.
The man beside me, who seems intent on getting me away, but just when he puts his hands against my arm to push me away, do I again turn my head to the Veil beside us, as I suddenly hear the voices inside it changing and hear only a single, powerful, almost ethereal voice come from within the misty insides as it says: "I shall protect."
And those words spur me on, make me grab onto the hands on my arm and make me, while I can almost in slow motion see the green killer spell passing me, push both myself and my godfather into the misty domain that resides in the stone archway behind him, the mist wrapping itself around us as we touch it.
I see Sirius' eyes widen as he realizes what I have caused, but then the mist seems somehow adamant on separating us as I can feel my grip on his hands, that seem to be pulled away from me against their owner's will, loosening without wanting to and while this happens does the mist around us thicken deeper and deeper.
Wondering what kind of terrible mistake I have made this time and hating myself for falling into yet another trap, do I try to get relief out of the fact that my push on Sirius made the Killing Curse miss both of us, but then that same voice speaks and says: "Yes, and now both of you shall be safe forever, my child."
This shocks me, making me wonder why this powerful voice could be calling me his child, but then I see the mist lifting, see a forest with a path going through the very middle of it and suddenly see something else, something small, but black colored and with grey-blue eyes that I would recognize in even a single heartbeat.
Relieved that, whoever spoke to me earlier, brought us both somewhere safe like the voice said it would, do I reach out to the man before me, only for my eyes to widen as I realize that it's not a man that is now standing – or better said floating – in front of me, but a small black-furred fox with red tuft and grey-blue eyes – that are turning red.
Here are DZ2's rules for this challenge:
DZ2's 'The Other Chosen' Challenge: Harry Potter/Pokemon
Plot:When Harry dies in the Final Battle, he is sent across time and space to the Pokemon World where he becomes the best friend and friendly-rival of Ash Ketchum, but these two new trainers have more in common than it may appear.
Rules:Whatever region Harry is sent to, Ash must either be travelling to or returning to (so non-canon stories are welcome)
Harry's starter MUST either be a Riolu, Zorua, Abra, Ralts or Eevee instead of the usual region starter
Like Ash to Pikachu, Harry must form a bond of sorts with his starter
Mega Evolutions must play a role in the story
At least one member of Harry's world must also travel to/be reborn in the world of Pokemon
The Legendary Pokemon see Harry as some sort of Chosen (how this happens is up to you)
Harry's magic is replaced by either an elemental power or Aura
Guidelines:Smart Ash
Smart Harry
Instead of being Ash's best friend, Harry is reborn as his brother
A villain of Pokemon becomes Harry's parent or guardian in the Pokemon World
Lily, James, Sirius and/or Remus are alive in this world and are Harry's parents/guardians
Slash
A Legendary Pokemon becomes part of Harry's party
Forbidden:Dark Harry
Dark Ash
Ash and Harry's rivalry being Harry/Draco-like: they're friends, not enemies
Okay, there you have it!
I know this is a short one, but I just wanted to make a starter and I'm not even entirely sure if this is even allowed to be part of the challenge. I personally think that Sirius being saved by Harry pushing them both through the Veil and then, with Harry, ending up elsewhere is a good way to prevent his death from happening.
Now, like I said before am I not sure if this is allowed as part of the challenge as the plotline states that it should happen at the Final Battle, but I always want to look for ways to save Sirius and this one just shouted at me to give it a try and seeing Sirius turn into Zorua – my fav PKMN, by the way – is just too cute to resist.
Okay, next challenge,

PS. Who was the mysterious voice, care to guess?
