Chapter 11

In the aftermath of the battle, Barry met Harry and Jeb in the middle of the field. Harry had just finished saying something when the emeralds reappeared in front of Jeb.

"That was too much wild energy for me," said Jeb.

Harry nodded and looked past Jeb at an approaching Dr. Eggman. "These will return you to your world." Harry said to him.

Dr. Eggman was about to speak when Joe was heard saying "Hold on a second, you guys! Don't forget my Pokemon!"

Joe took out a Pokeball and tossed it. "The green gem can evolve my Eevee right?" he said.

Eevee was now expectantly looking up at Harry. A hint of a smile crossed his face "You're right."

Not a minute later, Joe was gleefully hugging his Leafeon. Harry made a portal. Dr. Eggman gave a knowing glance to Harry then left without a word. Knuckles followed, carrying a still unconscious Sonic, waving to Joe as he left. Joe didn't notice. With a flick of his wand, Harry closed the portal and sent the emeralds back too. It was only Harry, Barry, and Joe left. Jeb had wandered off somewhere.

Barry let out a long sigh. "Harry, I don't want the job. You are much more capable than I am, you deserve the title of minister."

"If you're sure," said Harry.

"I'm positive," said Barry. "Joe, we've been away from our families for too long. It's time to go home."

Joe gave Barry the most sincere look he had ever seen and said "I'm going to cuddle the snot out of this Leafeon!"
