"I want people to be blown away when I do what they don't expect." –Drew Barrymore

It had been a few months since Harry had landed at Minn's doorstep, and he had never been so happy.

Sol was cheerful, and planned 'adventures' every day. So far most of them had just been playing games with the Pokémon at the ranch to get him more comfortable with them, but she had promised to take him to her home region, Hoenn, the next time she went back.

Minn, who had dark blue hair and ice blue eyes, was much more serious; she had also taken over the role of a teacher. She explained to him everything she could about Pokémon and how the world worked, and she let him read her books whenever he wanted.

Harry hummed happily to himself as he absently pet one of Sol's Pokémon, a Vulpix named Pixel. Minn was outside talking to a family about getting an Egg for the girl's birthday, and Sol was talking on the phone.

"Hey, Harry!" Sol called, sticking her head into the room. "I'm going to Hoenn to visit a friend, do you want to go?"

"Yes, please!" Harry said excitedly. Sol laughed good-naturedly.

"Alright then, we'll be leaving in three days and we'll be there for about a week, and it'll take us a day to get there and a day to get back. So start packing!" She told him. He nodded and shot up to his room.

Grabbing his new green bag, he opened his closet and inspected his clothes.

Sol had taken one look at the hand-me-downs from Dudley, grabbed Harry, and dragged him off to a clothes shop in the nearby Floaroma Town. She had bought him an entire new wardrobe, and when they got home, burned his old ones.

Smiling to himself, Harry started grabbing clothes.

*Four days later*

Harry looked around in awe at the bustling city their ship had landed in.

"Haha, impressed?" Sol laughed. Harry merely nodded, still trying to take everything in.

"This is Slateport, the biggest city in Hoenn, and one of the largest harbor towns in the world." Sol said, looking proud. "I lived here for most of my childhood. It's also where I met the friend we're meeting."

"Wow…" Harry breathed. Sol chuckled again.

"Come on, we need to go check into our hotel we'll be staying in tonight. Then we'll go exploring, okay?" She asked.

"Yeah!" Harry cheered enthusiastically.

"Alright Harry, we can't stay out too long, we've got a long day tomorrow." Sol said as they walked down the path leading out of Slateport.

"Awww… Okay." Harry agreed reluctantly. Sol ruffled his hair happily.

"Don't look so down, we've got plenty of time to have fun while we're here!" She told him with a grin. "But first, I want to see how the Trick Master's doing. Have I told you about him?"

Harry nodded.

"Ah, good! Do you want to go in with me, or stay out here?"

"I'll stay here." Harry decided after a moment of consideration.

"You sure? It might take me awhile…" Sol asked. Harry nodded again.

"Alright, but don't wander too far, and take this Pokéball in case you get into trouble. Minn showed you how to throw one, right?"

"Right!" Harry exclaimed, taking the offered Pokéball. Sol smiled and ruffled his hair again, before going inside the Trick Master's house.

Holding the Pokéball tightly, Harry decided to look around the house. While he was poking around the bushes behind the building, he thought he heard sound.

Listening carefully, he hesitantly began moving through the shrubs.

After a few moments, he came out into a small clearing. He stared in horror at the scene in front of him.

A group of white Pokémon with red markings had formed a circle around a snake like Pokémon with a blade-like tail, which was obviously hurt.

As he watched, one of the white Pokémon slashed at the snake, who was trying, in vain, to get up.

"Stop!" Harry cried without thinking. "Leave it alone!"

The clawed Pokémon all growled in unison, and a few that were closest to him took a step closer.

Stomping down his fear, Harry threw the Pokéball Sol had given him, just like Minn had showed him.

From the ball came Jingle, Sol's Pikachu. With a ring from the bell around her neck, Jingle leapt into action, taking two of the Pokémon down with a well-aimed Volt Tackle.

As the Electric Mouse Pokémon blasted the clawed Pokémon into unconsciousness, Harry ran up to the snake.

"Don't worry, you'll be alright." He murmured to it, crouching down.

You're an odd child. The snake hissed, mostly to himself. Caring what happens to a wild Pokémon, and one like me at that.

"What do you mean 'one like me'?" Harry asked, before it sunk in that he had understood the Pokémon. "And how can I understand you? I can't understand other Pokémon."

I wouldn't know child, I don't know you. As for 'one like me', I'm a Seviper, and we're not all that well-liked, mostly due to our looks and the fact we're Poison types. The snake, Seviper, answered, lying his head down tiredly.

"That's silly, Sol and Minn have raised Pokémon scarier looking than you, and not liking a Pokémon just because of its type is just plain stupid." Harry frowned.

Sol's Pikachu scurried over to them, having made all of the other Pokémon faint.

"Jingle, Sol went into the Trick Master's house. Can you go get her?" Harry asked her. With a nod that made her bell ding again, she rushed off, leaving Harry with Seviper and the unconscious Pokémon.

"What were the Pokémon that attacked you?" Harry asked the snake, pulling the Poison type's head onto his lap carefully.

They are Zangoose, Seviper and Zangoose have had a feud going on for generations. Seviper answered. I was looking for some berries when they came out of nowhere. He sighed in irritation. I should have fled the moment I saw them, but I foolishly thought I could handle them. I'm not that good of a battler.

"Why? Do you not battle often?" Harry wondered. Seviper nodded slightly.

Ah, pardon me child, I'm afraid I've neglected to thank you for saving me. He said suddenly.

"It's fine, I'm glad I could help." Harry spoke honestly.

Seviper didn't get a chance to answer as Sol rushed into the clearing at that moment, Jingle on her shoulder and her starter, Vulcan (a Blaziken), right behind her.

Vulcan gently picked up Seviper, and Sol helped Harry up.

"C'mon. Let's get him to the Pokémon Center." She told him, nudging him back in the direction of Slateport. "Nurse Joy will fix him right up."

And they hurried back to town, Vulcan striding along behind them.

*Around four years later*

"Hey Minn?" Harry called, sticking his head out of the blue haired girl's library.

"Yes?" She asked, looking up from the book she was reading. "What is it?"

Shyly, Harry held up the object in his hands.

"Can I have this book? There were two of them in the library…" He asked.

Minn squinted at the title of the book, and blinked in surprise.

"Poisonous Plants and Substances and How to Use Them?" She read aloud. "Harry, I know Sol's annoying, but you don't have to go that far." Minn said, but her lips were quirking into a small smirk.

"Hey!" Sol yelled as she walked into the room. "Not everyone finds me annoying you know. Just you." Minn didn't answer, but she was still smirking.

"It's not like that, it's just… I've decided to be Poison Type specialist." Harry said quickly. "I've already talked to Meki about it, and he likes the idea."

Meki was the Seviper Harry had saved three years ago. After being healed by Nurse Joy, he had refused to leave Harry's side, and even allowed Harry to catch him in a Pokéball Sol gave him. They had become extremely close over the years, and Meki had stopped calling him 'child', instead calling him 'little brother', to Harry's embarrassment. They still had yet to figure why Harry could understand him and not the other Pokémon, but Harry had decided to not let that bother him.

"Well, if that's what you really want to do, that's fine, and you're more than welcome to take the book." Minn told him, going back to reading.

"Thank you." Harry said, then glancing at Sol worriedly.

One of Sol's biggest pet peeves was having more than one Pokémon with the same type on her immediate team, and Harry hoped she wouldn't be mad at him.

As if reading his mind, Sol smiled at him, alleviating his fears.

"I'd suggest catching some Pokémon with dual types; it'll give you a better shot." She advised. Harry nodded.

"I know, I already have one in mind!" He said excitedly. Sol laughed at him.

"Really? What is it?" She asked.

"I want to catch a Venonat and evolve it into a Venomoth!" Harry cried.

Harry eventually went off to his room to read his book with Meki, and Sol went outside to do who-knows-what. And so, neither of them saw Minn get up and go call one of her breeder friends.

Who just so happened to have a female Venomoth.

What's Minn planning? It's not hard to figure out. XD Next chapter Harry starts his adventure as a Pokémon Trainer, and yet more time skips.

I'm hoping to get to Harry's Hogwarts Letter in two or three chapters. Unless you guy want to see more of Harry in the Pokémon World?

Review and tell me what you think, please!
