Edit: 04/11/20. I didn't need to do much in this one it was mostly the first I had problems with. Apart from the odd spelling mistake, I don't have much of an issue with it.
Route 01
Kanto Region
They woke to the feeling of warm breath on their faces, then as one they snapped their eyes open when something else cold—and wet in some cases—touched their cheeks. They were noses. Violet was the first to stand pushing the horned hounds black and orange face from hers.
The dog-like creature just sat there and watched, as she proceeds to examine her surroundings to pinpoint their location,— with red eyes—which didn't help much as they were surrounded by very long grass. Had she been taller she may have been able too. But alas she was not.
Which Douglas noticed as he too looked down at his hands they were now much smaller than his old chubby ones from before. Now that he realised this he glanced down at his body… yep all of it was tiny. He didn't notice the rather annoyed feline beside him as he too got to his feet, before checking to see if his cousins… err siblings were in a similar predicament, as he was. Sure enough, they were.
Harry he noticed was not at all bothered by the fact that he was once again… a midget. He seemed rather content to just lay in the grass combing his finger through the leafy autumn coloured fur of the Stags side.
Violet was once again the shortest of them where before she had been much taller than Harry and had gotten close to his height. He also noticed her hair was a dark red colour as opposed to the sleek garnet it used to be, her eyes were once more a vibrant emerald full of life again as she petted the orange and black horned hound-dog with a pointed tail that lay next to her.
He felt a breeze and shivered it was then that he realised that their clothes we're still torn and bloody from their previous world. Just as he had reached them he felt something furry nudge his right arm as it was too high to just hit his hand, cautiously Douglas turned to face the creature. Its face was up to his chest; its eyes were the same green as his siblings and there was a gem in the centre of its forehead to match; its coat was a kind of soft snowy tan colour he noticed then it clicked and he gasped.
"Lily?" He asked the cat hesitantly, it… sorry she beamed at him and pushed him to the ground unashamedly covering his face with her affection. His siblings had paused as they came to the same conclusion and clung to the creatures even more.
"Padfoot?" An excited bark escaped the dog as he leapt to his feet and copied Lily's example by covering his goddaughters face in slobbery wet dog kisses.
"Prongs?" A dignified nod from the stag before its eyes gleamed with mischief as he got up causing Harry to stumble slightly nearly falling on his face had it not been for his fathers rather quick reflex that caught what was left of his shirt between his teeth and hauled his son up onto his back, Padfoot and Lily had stopped to watch then nodded before hauling their respective partners onto their backs and racing off behind Prongs.
Slowly memories from their conversation in Limbo came to the front of Harry's mind, more specifically the part where Dudley agreed to change his name and appearance, he glanced back at his new brother and couldn't help but note he looked exactly like himself if it weren't for his red hair and hazel eyes they could have been the same person. Douglas was much smaller than Dudley was making it easier on their mothers back as they rode them through the high grass which he could now see over. It was hard for him to recall what Dudley looked like now almost as if he was always Douglas and now he realised he could hardly remember what any of them looked like as twenty-year-olds which he supposed should cause panic but it didn't. He wondered if the others felt this way.
He was free, they were free, free from manipulation; free from betrayal; free from the abuse they all endured. At that moment he was happy truly happy he had his brother and sister at his side and no more Dursleys or Wizards to torture them, life was great here.
Violet loved every second on her Godfathers back; the wind whipping her hair around, as they followed behind Harry and their dad running through the thick tall grass, like when she rode a broom for the first time. They had raced to the edge of the grassy landscape before slowing to a more sedate pace as they came upon a dirt road.
Padfoot glanced at his goddaughter meeting her eyes he grinned his huge canines showing then he spoke. *So how have you been getting on the pup, with the news of us being Pokémon and you kids being ten years younger and all that.* Violet looked at him in shock.
"You can talk?! I thought… but what? Oh right never mind...Pokémon Gods and all that. You'd think they'd mention something as important as this. I mean I'm sure talking to Pokémon is about as normal as speaking to snakes back in our home dimension. What are you any way Padfoot?" Violet inquired curiously as they continued on the road.
He barked a laugh *I'm a Houndoom pup, it's a Dark/Fire-type Pokémon, your mum and dad are probably talking to your brothers about this right now. Lily's a Persian, a shiny one too meaning a Pokémon born with a rare discolouration setting them apart from the rest of their species. Now Prongs though he's from a further away region...*
"Padfoot what's a region?" She interrupted him curiously.
It's kind of like a country but not, we are currently in the Kanto region, where Lily's species is from, mine is from the neighbouring region, Johto, and Prongs is from Unova region. He's what you call a Sawsbuck a deer-like Pokémon that's body changes with the seasons like now he's in his Autumn form.* Padfoot explained to his Goddaughter with his bark like language that outsiders would hear as 'Hound doom doom hound.' Or something of the like.
Violet nodded her understanding of the information before firing off questions about her parent's species and their types; Lily was a Normal-type and that her species was known as the classy cat Pokémon and Prongs was a Normal-Grass type Pokémon the species known as the season Pokémon as their horns display different plant growth in different seasons. He had told her about Pokémon battles and possible moves they could have and listed the few he knew, which were: odour sleuth, beat up, Fire fang, ember and Inferno. He told her she'd have to ask her parents what theirs were since he didn't know which one's they currently knew. They had been enjoying their conversation so much they didn't realize the others had stopped until Padfoot walked into Prongs; causing him to topple and bump Lily making the lot of them fall into a heap right at the end of the road in front of a sign that they had been reading.
The children just laughed along with Padfoot while Lily and Prongs grumbled. Harry stood up and dusted himself off before he proceeded to help the others to their feet.
"So… you both get told about our apparent ability to understand Pokémon too or is it just me," Violet asked with an awkward smile as her brothers glared good-naturedly at her for making them fall.
"Yep." Douglas said being sure to pop his P. "Lily said something about Pokémon battles arm that she was what is referred to as a Shiny Persian because of her different colouring. She's a Normal-type from this region. Kanto I think. How about you guys what are they?" He asked his siblings.
Harry smiled as he spoke. "Prongs told me that he's from a region called Unova and his horns display different plant growth depending on the season, he's a Sawsbuck and a Normal-Grass type and he told me about the Pokémon Professors people that study Pokémon, what about you Vee?" He asked as they turned to her.
"Well, Padfoot was telling me about his moves and the other regions, he said his species is called Houndoom it's a Dark-Fire type. He's from Johto region." She explained to her brothers before frowning. "What did the sign say, Ree?" She asked Harry, Douglas nodded also wanting to know.
Harry shrugged as he answered "Something like welcome to Pallet town, home of Pokémon Professor Oak." None of them noticed the boy panting behind them as he exhaustedly went in the same direction they did.
They had all but forgot about the fight before entering the veil and this world, so they forgot about the blood and marks on their backs and the rips in their clothes as they searched the town for this Professor Oaks lab.
A good ten minutes later the group made it to what Lily had called the Professor's lab. Again not realising they were all beat and tired looking. Harry reached for the door only for someone to beat him to it and race in and another walked out after commenting snidely to the other boy not even looking their way which they didn't particularly care for at the moment only wish to meet the Pokémon Professor and had no time for rude brats. They enter with their loyal Pokémon ducking in behind them when they heard a shout of. "I choose Squirtle!"
The triplets shared a glance before they hurried up the stairs into the building their Pokémon following awkwardly behind (mainly just Prongs having trouble because he's so big). Passing the living room and other things that would be in a house before coming upon the lab where the shaggy-haired boy, that looked similar to Harry only he had honey coloured eyes, in what looked to be pyjamas stood talking to a kind-looking old man who noticed them as they came in gasping in horror at their state. Which none of them saw or heard as they were too busy watching the pyjama boy race up some stairs to attempt to grab a yellow mouse looking Pokémon before he was tossed straight back down but he refused to give up and persisted until the Pokémon was in his arms. They snapped out of it when the man cleared his throat.
They looked sheepishly up at the man who was frowning at their wounds. "Who might you three be? And what happened to you? Where did you get those Pokémon?" The man fired off questions almost like Granger did the thought of their former best friends caused them to frown and angry tears to well before they shook it off and Harry stepped forward holding out his hand.
"I'm Harry Evans these are my siblings." He started as they each introduced themselves shaking his hand.
"I'm Violet,"
"And I'm Douglas."
"We, "
"Are, "
"Here, "
"To speak, "
"With a, "
"Professor,"
"Oak." They all said in tandem making the Pokémon blink and the Professor to chuckle.
"My apologies, that would be me Samuel Oak Pokémon Professor and researcher. Now, who are your friends and what happened to you?" He asked with concern.
At that, they all looked at each other and blanched they looked terrible. That was when the Slytherin amongst them spoke up. "We escaped our abusive relatives with the help of our Pokémon caretaker's Prongs, Padfoot and Lily," Violet said as she gestured to each of them. "Prongs is a Sawsbuck imported from Unova, Padfoot is a Houndoom that came from Johto and Lilys a shiny Persian from here in Kanto. We barely made it out and have been travelling for a while, when we heard about you. We wanted to start our Pokémon Journey with proper starters like Padfoot here said too." The boys just nodded dumbly along while the Pokémon gaped she just what?! They all thought.
Oak meanwhile looked torn between furious and downright sad at hearing they had been abused not realising they had flinched at his expression until he looked up looking apologetic completely forgetting about the other boy.
"I'm sorry to hear that, if you'd like you can rest here until you have recovered from your injuries while I send Ash here on his way to start his journey," Oak said as he patted the other boy on the head.
"I'm Ash Ketchum nice to meet you this is…" he didn't get to finish.
"PIIIKAACUU!" The small yellow mouse screamed as he shocked Ash.
Violet giggled "It's nice to meet you, Ash, Pikachu, I'm Violet and these are my brothers Harry and Douglas Evans." She shook his hand gesturing to her brothers as they did the same. " and these are our caretaker's Prongs, Padfoot and Lily a Sawsbuck from Unova, a Houndoom from Johto and a shiny Persian from right here in Kanto." The Poképarents nodded at the boy as he politely did the same before he left saying goodbye and wishing them luck on their journey.
Oak led them to a guest room for Violet and lent the boys his grandsons room since he already left on his journey. He gave them all spare clothes he got from his grandson's stuff and apologised to Violet for not having any girl ones which she just brushed of as she didn't care. They showered and dressed their wounds before putting on the clothes and helping the Professor with dinner where they became properly acquainted with one another then went to bed falling to sleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows. Their company sleeping peacefully on the floor.
Number two done, how do you like it. Votes for a starter for triplets and should they be shiny just because or is that too much?
A/N: I am beginning to lean toward three Eevee, just because they have a lot of potential, and would be great additions to further my very... wonky plot. You know with their either willingness or refusal to evolve for their separate character development alongside their partners. But let me know in your reviews.
