(Forest outside Vermilion City)
Harry chuckled as his Pokémon battled each other "Okay everyone, I think that is enough for today, I am so proud of you all, we will definitely beat Lt. Surge in our next Gym Battle" his Pokémon roared in agreement as Harry returned all but Lucario, he looked at Cynthia who was returning her Pokémon before turning to James and Jesse who were just watching over everything, Harry chuckled "Okay everyone, I think we'd best get going, I want to beat Lt. Surge as quickly as possible" they nodded before the group left the forest.
(Vermilion City)
Harry, Jesse, James, Meowth and Cynthia walked into the Pokémon Centre, Harry walked over to Nurse Joy "Hello, Nurse Joy, can you heal my Pokémon, please?" Nurse Joy smiled "Of course, young man, can you give me some identification please?" Harry handed over his Pokédex, Nurse Joy opened it and Cassie's voice appeared "I am Cassie, I am owned by Pokémon Trainer and Junior Pokémon Professor Hadrian Potter-Oak" Harry blinked as did his group, Harry ran a hand through his hair "When did I become a Junior Pokémon Professor?".
Cynthia shrugged as did the Ex-Rockets, Nurse Joy just giggled "Well, Professor Potter, your Pokémon will be healed up very soon, please wait" she walked off with the Pokéballs and put them in the machine, Harry walked over to the call machine and called his Grandfather "Professor Oak speaking" "Grandad, when did I become a Junior Professor?" Samuel smiled "Ah, Harry my boy, you didn't think all those tests I was giving you over the years were just for boredom, did you?".
Harry's jaw dropped and Mellissa and Cynthia just giggled at him "Are you saying?" Professor Oak smiled and nodded "You are the youngest Professor of the century, if you write a paper with proof, you will become the youngest Professor ever" Harry blinked "Well, if that is the case, I will work on my paper as I travel" Professor Oak nodded before looking at Mellissa "And who is this?" Harry chuckled "This is my new baby Sister, Mellissa, apparently she has adopted me as her Big Brother".
Professor Oak chuckled "So, I have another Granddaughter now?" Harry nodded before turning to Mellissa who was hiding behind him whilst staring at the Professor with barely hidden curiosity "Mellissa, meet our Grandfather, Professor Samuel Oak" Mellissa moved slightly so that Professor Oak could see her more an she waved "Hi" he smiled at her "Hello Dear, it's nice to meet you" she smiled before hiding again.
Harry and Professor Oak shared a chuckle "Don't mind Mel, she is rather shy, I helped her out and saved her life while she was sick, that is why she has joined me" Professor Oak nodded, it was just like Harry to do so, he was always helping, just like Red, Harry grinned "Now, I'll talk to you later as I need to go and beat Lt. Surge" Professor Oak smiled at his Grandson "Go and do this Harry, show him that you are going to go far, show him your potential" Harry nodded and cut off the call.
Harry turned back to his little group and grinned "Well, I should probably start on my paper" Cynthia tilted her head "What are you going to do it on?" Harry chuckled "The bond between a trainer and an abused Pokémon, during my time as a Trainer, several of my Pokémon have come from abusive backgrounds and yet, some of them are my strongest Pokémon, in my eyes, the changes a trainer can make to an abused Pokémon could make them phenomenally more powerful if they are treated right, that is my theory and I can test it given that I have previously abused Pokémon".
Cynthia, Jesse, James and Meowth all had a collective jaw drop and Mel giggled "You have been thinking about this since you were told by your Pokédex about your position, haven't you? You just needed to confirm it, didn't you?" Harry nodded with a smile, Nurse Joy called out "Professor Potter, your Pokémon are ready for you" Harry blinked before walking over, most of the Pokémon Centre had gone quiet as they watched this young man walk over.
Harry took his Pokéballs from Nurse Joy "Thank you, Nurse Joy, I have to be going, I have an arrogant prat to go and beat, excuse me" Harry turned and noticed everyone staring at him "What?" one of the little girls walked over "Are you really a Professor?" Harry smiled "I am a junior Pokémon Professor, I still need to publish a paper and then I will become a proper Pokémon Professor" the girl gasped "That is so cool, can I have an autograph?".
Harry blinked but nodded as he signed a piece of paper that she gave him, he handed it back to her and she giggled happily before running back to her mother, Harry shook his head as Cynthia walked over to him "Well, it seems you have a fan, Professor Potter" Harry turned to Cynthia with a raised eyebrow before kissing her on the cheek "Quiet you" he turned to Jesse, James and Meowth "So, let's go, I have a gym to beat" the group left the gossiping Pokémon Centre.
(Vermilion Gym-Vermilion City)
Harry walked into the gym with Cynthia, Jesse, James and Meowth "Oh look, more victims, so who are you, little baby? And why is this babe with you?" Harry raised an eyebrow at the taller man in front of him "Are you supposed to be intimidating? Honestly, two 13 year old girls are more terrifying than you, I should know, I was on the receiving end of their glares" Harry shuddered as Cynthia smiled sweetly at him.
Lt. Surge smirked "Oh, the baby thinks he is big eh? Fine then, let's have this battle, little baby" Harry yawned at Lt. Surge's attempt at intimidation as he walked over to the challengers side "This is a one-on-one battle between the Gym Leader, Lt. Surge and the challenger-" Harry chuckled "Emerald of Pallet Town" "And the challenger, Emerald of Pallet Town, trainers send out your Pokémon" Lt. Surge sent out a Raichu, Harry blinked and scanned it.
"Raichu, the Mouse Pokémon, Pokédex Entry: If the electrical sacks become excessively charged, Raichu plants its tail in the ground and discharges. Scorched patches of ground will be found near this Pokémon's nest. Type: Electric. Gender: Male." Harry nodded "I see, Justin, it's your time" he tossed his Pokéball and Sandshrew popped out "Okay Justin, this is your battle" Sandshrew nodded and glared at Raichu who smirked back.
Lt. Surge smirked "Even with a type advantage, you can't win, Rai, use Hyper Beam" the beam charged up in Raichu's mouth "Justin, as the beam is near you, use Dig, then get up close and as you come out of the ground, use Poison Jab, I know you have barely mastered it but I am sure you will manage" Justin nodded, Raichu released the beam and it shot straight at Sandshrew who quickly dug, as the beam dissipated, Lt. Surge saw the hole "Oh crap, Rai-" it was too late.
Sandshrew shot up from underneath Raichu and hit him with Poison Jab before rolling back to Harry, a purple sheen was seen over Raichu, showing the Poison Effect, Lt. Surge growled as did Raichu "Raichu get in close and use Mega Punch" Harry raised an eyebrow as the Raichu slowly ran towards Sandshrew "Use Iron Defence" Harry chuckled as the Iron sheen appeared over Sandshrew as Raichu punched Sandshrew, Sandshrew was pushed back before glowing a blinding white.
It stopped glowing and Justin had changed, he now had large claws and loads of spines on his back "Slash. Sandslash" Harry grinned and Lt. Surge blinked "Raichu, use Hyper Beam" Harry's eyes widened "Justin dodge it" Sandslash rolled to the side and avoided the Hyper Beam, he ran at Raichu before seemingly turning into a drill and hitting Raichu directly "Holy crap, he used Drill Run" Raichu glared at Sandslash before collapsing.
"Raichu is unable to battle, the winner is Sandslash, the victor of this battle is Emerald from Pallet Town" Harry returned Justin after congratulating him, he watched as Lt. Surge walked over "Well done, young man, I am impressed, here is your Thunder Badge" he handed the badge to Harry who took it with a smile "Thank you, Sir" Harry saluted and Lt. Surge chuckled "If you want a challenge, I can make a call to Vermilion City's best Pokémon trainer, are you interested?".
Harry shrugged "Sure, I like to test myself, I'll quickly go back to the Pokémon Centre and get my best team out, then I'll be back" Lt. Surge nodded "That sounds like a plan, you'll need it if you plan to stand a chance against the Prince of Vermilion City" Harry's eyes narrowed at the title "I see, we'll be back soon, Sir" Harry turned to Cynthia "I think this is going to be my hardest challenge yet" Cynthia nodded "We are with you all the way" he smiled and pecked her lips before they left.
(30 Minutes Later)
Harry walked back into the gym with Cynthia and their bodyguards to see a teen stood next to Lt. Surge, he was taller and older than Harry, he had black hair with purple ombre, his rube red eyes staring at them whilst glowing ominously "So, this is the one?" Lt. Surge nodded "He beat me with a Sandslash that had just evolved, my Raichu only got one hit on it" the teen nodded before turning to Harry "How do you feel about a three-on-three? My other Pokémon aren't up for battle at the moment".
Harry nodded "I'm fine with that" a small nearly unnoticeable smile made its way to the teens face before it disappeared again, he nodded and the two moved to either side of the arena "This is a three-on-three battle between the Prince of Vermilion City and the challenger, Emerald of Pallet Town, both trainers may substitute Pokémon, the battle is over when one sides Pokémon are unable to battle, begin".
Harry watched as the teen pulled out a Luxury ball "Ripper, stand by for battle" he tossed the Pokéball, out of it came a large three headed dragon that was Blue, Black and Purple, he nodded "Go ahead" Harry quickly pulled out his Pokédex and scanned it Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokémon, Pokédex Entry: It responds to movement by attacking. This scary, three-headed Pokémon devours everything in its path!. Type: Dark, Dragon. Gender: Male".
Harry blinked "Fair enough, Neville, crush them" Salamence came out of his Pokéball and roared at the Hydreigon "Neville, this is going to be our toughest battle yet, let's start off with a Dragon Pulse" Salamance roared and fired off a Dragon Pulse at Hydreigon who took it, he came out with rather little damage done to him, Harry gulped "That is a powerful Dragon" the teen smirked "You don't know the half of it, Ripper, deal with it".
Hydreigon rushed forwards faster than Harry could expect of the large dragon and grabbed Salamence by the neck, he tossed him into the air "Use Dark Matter" Harry's eyes widened at the unknown move, a beam of Dark energy shot from Hydreigon's three mouths and hit Salamence who fell to the ground, unconscious "Salamence is unable to Battle, Hydreigon wins, trainer, send out your next Pokémon".
Harry returned Salamance "Thank you my friend" he put the Pokéball away before calling out his next Pokémon "Lucario, lend me your aura" Lucario appeared on the field, he instantly started the fight by throwing an Aura Sphere, it hit Hydreigon who flinched at the move, the teen frowned before chuckling "I guess I can go all out with my friend here" he lifted his left hand and Harry saw a rainbow stone on a bracelet on his wrist, like the one he had.
"Feel our bond, and surpass your current evolution, Mega Evolve!" pink energy surrounded Hydreigon and formed into an orb around it, it shattered to reveal a five headed Hydreigon with six large black wings and four legs, Harry's jaw dropped "Is that what those stones do?" the teen nodded "And now you will see their true power, Ripper, use Dragon Pulse" all five mouths opened and shot a Dragon Pulse each, Lucario dodged the first three but then was smashed into by the second two, he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Lucario is unable to battle, Hydreigon is the winner, Trainer, send out your next Pokémon" Harry returned Lucario "Good job, old friend, take a good rest" he went for Gyarados's ball before stopping, he had a better idea, he grabbed another Pokéball off of his belt and tossed it "Hedwig, shine" Togetic came out of the Pokéball, the other teen blinked "Man you are full of surprises, no matter Ripper, use-" "Dazzling Gleam, before he can call a move".
Togetic flew into the air and created a beam of energy around herself, before firing it off at Hydreigon who didn't have time to dodge, it hit him directly and he fell to the ground with a yelp of pain, Harry took advantage "Okay Hedwig, hit it with continuous Fairy Moves, even if we only manage to beat Hydreigon, that will be an achievement against the Prince of Vermilion City" Hedwig nodded before hitting Hydreigon with another Dazzling Gleam, she then hit it with a Sweet Kiss, confusing it.
The Prince blinked before he realised what Harry was doing as Hydreigon was getting beaten down, he chuckled "Well played, I underestimated you, I am sorry about that, I will have a gift for you after you beat Hydreigon, who I will now forfeit, he can't take anymore but you will not beat my next Pokémon" he returned Hydreigon before tossing out another Pokéball "Tank, prepare for Battle" the red glow emanated and from it came a shiny Metagross, Beldum's final evolution.
Harry scanned it "Metagross, the Iron Leg Pokémon, Pokédex Entry: Metagross has four brains in total. Combined, the four brains can breeze through difficult calculations faster than a supercomputer. This Pokémon can float in the air by tucking in its four legs. Type: Steel. Psychic. Gender: Genderless" Harry bit his lip before looking at Hedwig who looked back at him, she nodded and Harry sighed "I forfeit, I will not have Hedwig get hurt in a pointless battle".
"The challenger Emerald has forfeited, the winner is Metagross, the victor is the Prince of Vermilion City" the prince walked over to Harry, Tank floating next to him "I respect that you knew your limits and that you put your Pokémon's health above your own self-interests, for those qualities, I will gave you a prize for each one, for your understanding of your own limitations, I gift you this Shiny Stone" the teen handed Harry a blue glowing stone, Harry carefully took it.
The teen nodded "Next for your care of your Pokémon above your own interests, I gift you an egg that one of my Pokémon laid not long ago, take care of it" Harry nodded and blinked at the snow white Pokégg, he carefully took it into his arms and smiled as he felt a connection to it forming, he carefully ran his hand over it and the teen chuckled "You can feel it. It lives and you can feel it" Harry looked at the teen with wide eyes.
"How did you?" the teen smiled slightly "I know because I can feel them as well" the teen held out his hand and Harry shook it "It was a pleasure to meet and battle you, Emerald" Harry grinned "And you as well" the teen grinned "Tekuya, Tekuya Vermilion of Vermilion City" Harry snorted "I see why the call you the Prince" Tek shook his head "They made the title because I am undefeated as of yet, though, I think Champion Gold may be making an attempt soon".
Harry chuckled "Well, I hope to see it, goodbye Tekuya, it has been a pleasure to meet you" Tekuya nodded "And you, I hope to battle you again" they shook hands once more before Harry turned to Cynthia "You ready to leave?" Cynthia smiled and nodded before turning to Tekuya "Thank you for taking your time to battle Emerald, I expect you are rather busy" Tekuya waved her thanks off "It gets boring actually, go have fun on your journey, take these, they are a prize for anyone who beats this gym, five tickets for the .SS. St. Anne" Harry and Cynthia nodded before leaving.
