I don't own anything except my laptop and the fingers I forced to write this.
If you recognise any of the plots from being from one of your stories then I want to thank you as it was by read those stories that made me want to write this.
Groaning, Harry slowly opened his eyes. His head was pounding, every single muscle in his body ached and as he sat up it felt like the world around him was spinning. All in all the raven haired teen felt like he had just finished a boxing match against a mountain troll and lost. Rubbing his temples slowly trying to relieve his massive headache he looked around where he sat to try and work out where he was.
Luckily Harry had replaced his old glasses the day before he left with a pair of magical contact lenses that bonded with the eye so they didn't need to be replaced and automatically changed to the prescription needed. They had been unbelievably expensive but with the extra enchantment he had gotten added they were well worth the price.
From what he could see he must have been in a forest because he was surrounded by huge trees and lush green grass. He was about to get up when he noticed what looked like a golf-ball with a button on the front of it. The moment he focused on it he felt his magic form a connection, slowly the ball floated an inch of the palm of his hand and changed to the size of a tennis ball before 2 of the elements he could control rose up.
Both shadow and fire combined in his hand creating black flames that engulfed the ball hovering there. Slowly the flames died down and all that was left behind was solid black ball with red tribal flames across the top. As it dropped into his waiting hand it opened, a white light burst forth and form into a large canine.
Whatever it was that was in front of him it was huge, its fur was as black as midnight except the dark red stripes on its body and the grey fur of its tail, mane and back of its paws. It stood at 6' 5" and was easily 340lbs of pure muscle. Standing there it looked proud and regal, warm brown eyes studying him intently before sitting down and cocking its head slightly to the side. Harry could have sworn the massive dog had a smirk on its face.
Pressing the button in the middle of the ball the teen then watched it in shock as it became just a little smaller than a golf-ball. The young wizard studied the ball for a second before shrugging and pocketing it, he would look at in detail later. Glancing up at the second largest dog he had ever seen (only Fluffy had it beaten) only to see its smirk had gotten slightly larger. Standing up straight Harry crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"What you grinning at you oversized mutt?" he asked both annoyed and amused at how the dog was looking at him.
"Sorry pup but your too cute," a beautiful female voice teased causing his gaze to snap up to the canine's mirth filled eyes "all I can think about is how the human females are going to end up cooing at you." The canine's voice, so full of wisdom and comfort, held only a tiny bit of laughter making it hard to tell if she was joking or not.
A small smile spread across his lips at being called pup, Sirius had called him that as well and it had always made him feel cared about. Smile transforming into a smirk the raven haired teen gave her an exaggerated bow.
"I know milady," he sighed trying to hide his grin "if only I looked like you. They wouldn't even notice me then."
The large dog like head snapped up, eyes wide with shock before it pounced at him. Pinned to the ground Harry could only laugh as the she licked his face muttering about "Cheeky pups" and "No respect" before she allowed herself to be push away only to lay down next to him.
"So does my beautiful new friend have a name?" he asked with a kind smile "And I don't mean to be rude but what are you?"
"My name's Michiko," she said before giving him a weird look at continuing "I'm a Pokémon of course, I'm an Arcanine."
From the look she had given him and the tone of her voice when she explained what she was made it sound to Harry like she expected him to know all about them. While this let him know that they were common knowledge so should be easy to find information on he had instead focused on her name. He had been forced to teach himself Japanese to understand some of the advanced martial arts books he had found.
"Beauty and wisdom," reaching up he stroked behind her ear "it's a name that suites you perfectly." His only answer was her humming in approval. "Well anyway, I'm afraid you're going to have to explain just what a Pokémon is as I've never heard of one before but I better explain about myself first so you understand why I don't know and what I want to do."
For the rest of the morning Harry sat with his back against a tree, Michiko's head resting next to his legs as he slowly stroked her head and told her about his like. He explained about how his parents had been murdered defending him as a baby, how he had been left on the doorstep his abusive relatives and how he grew up in a cupboard. He told her about having to hide his intelligence so he wasn't punished, about getting picked on by his cousin's gang and knowing the more he fought back the worse he would end up. Then came finding out he could do things the people around him couldn't, how he had learnt meditation and martial arts to control them and keep fit before finally finding out about the wizarding world.
He spoke about the headmasters manipulations, how the other magic users treated him like an object in a zoo most of the time or turn on him for no reason. He told her how the first friends he had ever made were really only spying on him and how it was his own money being used to pay them for it. He explained about all the creatures that he had faced that had tried to kill him, the magical beings he had made friends with and his late nights learning all he could.
Lastly he told Michiko about his parents' killer, the lengths he had went to in his fear of death and the attempts he had made to return. When he spoke of wanting a place to start fresh where no one knew him she had understood and had told him she would help him enjoy his new chance at life.
Harry was emotionally drained by the time he finished telling his new friend about his life. It was now past midday and both of them had not eaten yet so the teen removed the necklace from around his neck and enlarged it leaving behind a large trunk. Pressing the lock on the right the trunk opened its second compartment to reveal a set of stairs leading downwards into it.
When he had first bought it he was planning to it to travel the world helping injured animals both magical and normal. It had a large mansion as well as 15000 acres of land that blended seamlessly between 10 different types of habitat. The trunk itself could only be opened and moved by Harry making it safe to be inside as well as being as physically and magically impervious as possible, going so far that even a dragon wouldn't be able scratch it. The mansion had been upgraded with magical technology and he had greenhouses from both normal and magical plants. When shrunk down it would take the form of a necklace that only he would be able to remove.
After the 2 descended the emerald eyed teen waved his hand to close it behind them and lead his new Pokémon friend into the kitchen and began to cock for the 2 of them. While eating lunch Michiko told her new tamer about the world he now found himself in. She explained how Pokémon were caught, trained, battled and raised. How some were kept as pets, studied and sometimes even utilized in jobs using the skills they had for things like security, construction and sometimes even sources of free energy.
Harry promised himself to look over the technology of this new world as he had already seen normal butterflies and insects in the forest and these Pokémon sounded a lot like magical creatures to him. If they were magical in some way then this world entire technology was most likely built to withstand it even if both technology and humans here couldn't yet manipulate it like wizards could.
For the next few hours Harry and Michiko played outside the mansion together. With the raven haired teen in his 5' 11" 300lbs shadow wolf form the 2 played tag and wrestled the day away. For the young man it was a way to relax, enjoy himself and bond with the new female in his life. For Michiko on the other hand it was a way to give the boy a bit of his childhood back and bring them closer.
That evening after dinner the teen sat in the entertainment room watching TV. He had been mildly surprised that it had picked up the local programs straight away without needing tuning but was very happy about it. He was sat on the sofa with Michiko at his feet and her head on his lap watch ether the Pokémon battles shown or the information documentaries aired for new trainers.
That night before going to bed Harry wrote a list;
Exchange gold bars for local currency
Buy books on everything that looks like it will be needed
Buy everything needed
Head to Pallet Town for starter Pokémon and Pokédex
Simple, easy to remember and everything he needed for now.
Harry lay on the bed in the master bedroom after practising his occlumency and sorting through his new memories. As he fell asleep with Michiko curled up beside him, he thought over all he knew about technology and magic and how the 2 worked together. As new ideas made themselves known on how to incorporate the new technology he would learn and the purposes they could be used for he finally drifted off to dream about his new life.
The next morning the young magic user woke up slowly with a small smile on his face, he had never slept so peacefully before and form curled up next to him reassured him that it wasn't all a dream. Glancing at the large canine pressed protectively against his side caused his smile to widen. She was a mix of motherly, teasing, playful, wise and strong. She had the type of personality that drew you in and you couldn't help but care for her deeply.
Rolling out of bed Harry made his way into the bathroom and stripped down to get in the shower only to freeze when he saw himself in the mirror. While quidditch training and practising martial arts had added muscle onto his otherwise slim body but that wasn't what was being reflected back at him. The person in the mirror was 5' 10" with broad shoulders, wedge shaped body and was well muscled and toned. Whereas Harry's body had always been built for speed this one was built for strength and power while still allowing for the movement, flexibility, agility and speed of a gymnast. The teen had to look down at his new body to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Shrugging his shoulders and deciding not to worry about it Harry turned on the shower and stepped under the hot spray. As the water beat down on him the raven haired wizard let his mind wander, he didn't even notice as he got out the shower and headed into the bedroom to get dressed. His mind didn't return to the present until Michiko spoke up.
"Well I was only half right," she teased, he could hear the smirk in her voice "while I still think the human females will be all over you it's now doubtful it will be because of your cuteness."
The teen's eyes automatically looked onto the large Pokémon's only to see her looking at the lower half of his body. Looking down he realised straight away what she was talking about, on the way back from the bathroom he had forgotten to grab a towel and now stood in front of the female canine completely naked and still wet from his shower.
Quickly grabbing the pokéball from the bedside table the now bright red young mage returned the now giggling Pokémon and got dressed. He had a long day ahead of him and he needed to get started.
Hope you're all enjoying it so far. I apologise now if it takes a while between chapters but while ideas are easy getting them written down with the right detail and how I want them is hard for me.
This is written for my own enjoyment, if you don't like it I'm sorry but you're the one that chose to read it. :P
