Welcome to Chapter 3 of Wishing Upon a Pokémon. In this chapter we'll go from Courmarine City, which will contain the Battle with Serena, the Battle with Ramos, and something I'm taking from the anime: Pokémon Showcases! And in this story there are male Showcases. There isn't much of a difference between the male and female Showcases. They follow the same idea except that the Male and Female Showcases are at different times of the day. As well, they have different themes that day so the males or females can't get ideas from the other one's showcase. This is going to cover a lot of stuff to the end of Kalos. Anyways after that it's to the Lumiose Badlands where we run into Team Flare once more and then Lumiose where Harry fights Clemont, then Laverre City where he fights Valerie and then to Anistar City then Saving the world and then, the last badge and Showcase in the last city, and then Pokémon League. Yes this is going to cover a lot because I want to be able to get to the Kanto Region soon enough. Anyways! Onwards to the Chapter!

Wishing Upon A Pokémon 3

The trio got up later than they usually did as yesterday was exhausting for all of them. They were all excited for their next destination; Courmarine City. It was there that Shauna and Harry would debut in the Pokémon Showcases as well as where Harry would get his fourth gym badge and be allowed to Fly on his Pokémon, which would make it easier for all three of them to travel. So with all that said they began their journey to Courmarine City. However before that could begin Harry was stopped by Serena.

"Hey, here take this, think of it as a gift." She said, handing him a disc.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"It's HM03, Surf. It allows your Pokémon to travel over the water without being knocked under by any waves." She said.

"Thanks." Harry said, putting the disc into his bag.

"When I think about it, it's kind of amazing how a person like you came to Kalos and ended up traveling with me. It's like destiny in a way. I used to think the same way about a boy I met at camp when I was in Kanto." She said, reminiscing.

"What's this boy's name?" Harry asked.

"His name was Ash Ketchum, he was a year younger than me and helped me through a few problems but I don't know if I'll see him again." She said.

"How about this? When I am done in Kalos I'll go to Kanto and find him. I mean Kanto would be my next stop anyways and he should be starting his journey then." Harry said.

"You'd do that for me?" She asked, a tear in her eye.

"Of course he would! Big H is awesome, and when he does I'll go with him, gotta make sure Serena has the best boyfriend!" Shauna said, causing Serena to blush.

"N-no! It's not like that!" She shouted.

"Haha! I'll be sure to join you two as well! I've been needing to explore the world to get better experience and see more Rock-Types!" Grant said.

"Thanks you guys." She said with a smile before heading off.

As they got into the next Route and past the water there was a Skiddo Ranch. Right at the entrance was a sign that said they could ride the Skiddos to the next city which sounded really neat to the trio. So they went in and each got on a Skiddo and took off. The rid was exhilarating as they rushed through the fields and around the bend towards Courmarine City. Soon enough they reached the city where they got off the Skiddos, who soon ran back to the ranch.

"That was amazing!" Shauna said.

"Mhm, it was really fun." Harry said.

"I'd love to do that again." was Grant's reply.

As soon as Harry stepped into Courmarine City he got a message on his Holo Caster. When he checked it, it was Serena.

"Harry. I challenge you to a battle in front of the Gym! However this time it's going to be a fun battle, so prepare yourself!" the message said before ending.

"Welp, I guess I gotta battle her before I can challenge the Gym Leader Ramos. This should be fun." Harry said.

"At least she's no longer gungho about it being a competition." Shauna said.

"True." Was Harry's reply

As they made their way to the station that would take them to the other part of the city they ran into a man who was giving away Good Rods. The trio decided to pick one up from the man. Soon enough though they reached the station and what met them was a shock when they entered the station. It was Professor Sycamore and Champion Diantha.

"Why hello, Harry and Shauna. Who's your friend there?" Professor Sycamore asked.

"I'm surprised you don't recognize him Professor. It's the Cyllage City Gym Leader, Grant." Diantha said chuckling.

"Oh that's why you're familiar." Sycamore said, rubbing his head in embarrassment.

"Hey there Diantha." Grant said.

"So you've decided to travel?" She asked.

"Mhm these two managed to convince me." Grant said.

"Although I can see something else prompted you. If anything comes of it, we shall see." She said mysteriously.

"Anyways, I see you finally obtained everything you need for Mega Evolution! A Mega Stone for the Pokémon, a Mega Ring for the Trainer, and a strong bond with your Pokémon." Sycamore said.

"Yeah, apparently I had a strong bond with Korrina's Lucario." Harry said.

"That Lucario kept finding Harry." Shauna commented.

"A strong bond?" Diantha asked, as if asking for confirmation for something.

"It's only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between Pokémon and Trainer is the key to the new evolution. But what is this bond, exactly? And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the Kalos region?" Sycamore asked.

"That you know of Professor, for all you know the Hoehn Region could have links to Mega Evolution." Diantha said.

"That's true, there's still so much we don't know…" Sycamore said.

"Does this make you think of something like Kalos's Legendary Pokémon? Found only here in the Kalos region, right? Maybe it's not a coincidence that Mega Evolution is found here." Diantha said.

"Legendary Pokémon?" Harry asked, thinking of Jirachi.

"Ah, you don't really live here so you don't know. The Kalos Region has three Legendary Pokémon; Yveltal, Xerneas, and the third one is unknown but is said to be the Order to the two Legendaries." Sycamore said.

"That's really interesting." Harry said.

"Yeah, the more you know, the more there is to research! The excitement never ends, does it?" Sycamore said.

"Nope, you can find excitement anywhere you look." Diantha said.

"Oh! That's right! I came here to give you this!" Sycamore said, handing Harry a disc.

"That's HM Fly, it allows you to fly to any city and land in front of the Pokémon Centers." Sycamore said.

"Thanks a lot! The three of us have been waiting for this." Harry said, the other two nodding.

"Well then you three, Diantha, I hope to see you guys again soon!" Sycamore said before leaving.

"Bonds…. They really are important to us all, aren't they?" Diantha mused.

"Of course they are, bonds are what makes life so fun. Without them we'd be alone in the world." Shauna said.

"When I'm acting, I think I'm always trying to forge a bond between myself and the character I'm playing. If all I think about is how I'm nothing like a character, then I'll just hate playing it. But if I focus on what I have in common with the character and put myself in her shoes, I might be able to understand her." Diantha said.

"It's different for everyone. We form bonds for many reasons but there's always a reason that all people share when they make a bond. They make it so that they don't feel alone." Harry said, thinking of his old friends Hermione and Ron.

"True, it's the same for people—or Pokémon. Hah. Never mind me! I'm just babbling about my own things." She said chuckling.

"It's alright! It's nice to learn something new about a person." Harry said.

"Let's have a battle the next time we meet, shall we? I'm still looking forward to it!" She said before leaving.

"H-harry. The Champion asked you for a battle." Grant said, surprised.

"So?" Harry asked.

"So?! Champions rarely ask others for battles, it's usually them who get asked for a battle." Grant said.

"Really? I'd think they'd be like every Trainer, wanting to battle with a Trainer because it's fun." Harry said.

"You really have some interesting views." Grant said with a smile.

They then got onto the monorail and took it to the next part of the town where they stopped at the Pokémon Center to get their rooms. Then they headed off to the Pokémon Gym where Serena was waiting for Harry.

"Hey! You're on time! Could you please show me Mega Evolution? Of course whether you use it or not is entirely up to you, but… I'd like to know what it looks like. Of course this is supposed to be a fun battle." She said before sending out her Meowstic.

Harry responded by sending out his Greninja, which had evolved during a Trainer fight on the way to Courmarine City. Harry told Greninja to use Acrobatics. Of course Serena couldn't have that so Meowstic used Fake Out which caused Greninja to flinch. Harry once again told Greninja to use Acrobatics which hit. Meowstic then used Disarming Voice which hit and seemed to weaken Greninja. Harry then told Greninja to use Surf. The result was a gigantic wave of water coming out from under Greninja and slamming into Meowstic, knocking her out, causing Serena to send out Quilladin. Harry then returned Greninja and brought out Charmeleon.

"Going for a Type advantage now are you?" She asked.

"I figured I should spice things up." Harry said before ordering Charmeleon to use Dragon Rage which was followed up by Quilladin using Bite. Harry had Charmeleon use Dragon Rage one more time which was followed up by another Bite.

"End it with Ember!" Harry shouted.

Sure enough Charmeleon used Ember on Quilladin which knocked him out. Serena then sent out Absol to which Harry returned Charmeleon and sent out Lucario.

"Ready to end this in one go Lucario?" Harry asked.

"Definitely." was Lucario's reply.

Harry raised his arm with the Mega Ring on it to the sky and it began glowing. Soon after so did Lucario. When the glowing reached a peak then vanished in Lucario's place was now Mega Lucario. Harry then ordered Mega Lucario to use Power-Up Punch which slammed into Absol, instantly knocking it out.

"As a Pokémon Trainer, I find you really interesting." Serena said, sighing.

"Why do you make that sound bad?" Harry asked.

"It's nothing really but…. Even though we set off from Vaniville Town at the same time, you somehow became stronger than me. What could be so different about us? Eh, It doesn't really matter though, Pokémon battles aren't about competition right? Good luck with your Gym Battle. Do your best, OK?" She said before leaving.

"She's really learning." Shauna said with a smile.

"Yep, she's so different from that girl who started her journey, looking to be the strongest." Harry said before heading into the gym.

The gym was a gigantic tree in the middle with various ropes you had to climb and swing across to reach the top. Grant whistled at it.

"Reminds you of your gym?" Harry asked.

"Yup, now let's get climbing." Grant said in a determined voice.

Unlike Grant's gym which was pretty straight forward Ramos' gym was very much a maze. You hand to climb ropes, swing across ropes, and slide down ropes. All to make it to the Gym Leader. When they reached Ramos they were met with a round Pokémon Field that was in the middle of an office with Ramos in the center.

"Ho! So yeh've made it clear up here! I'm the Gym Leader, Ramos's the name. So what'd yeh think, whippersnapper? Did yeh enjoy the garden playground I made with all these sturdy plants o' mine?" Ramos asked.

"Ramos, you know I love them." Grant said.

"Oh is that you Grant ol' boy?" Ramos asked

"Yeah, I'm traveling with these two, it's Harry here who wants to challenge you." Grant said.

"Well then Harry, the strength of these plants is a sign o' my strength as a gardener and a Gym Leader! Yeh sure yer up to facing all that?" Ramos said.

"Bring it old man!" Harry joked.

"All right then!" Ramos said.

"This is a match between Challenger Harry Potter and Gym Leader Ramos. Each Trainer may have three Pokémon however only the Challenger may switch out Pokémon. The winner is decided when one side cannot continue." Grant said.

With that all said, Ramos sent out Jumpluff and Harry sent out Greninja.

"A Water-Type against a Grass Gym? Not very smart of yeh boya." Ramos said.

"Not everything is as you see, Greninja! Use Acrobatics!" Harry yelled.

The ovals on Greninja's legs and arms changed to sky blue as Greninja jumped to Jumpluff and spun around it, attacking all over, instantly knocking out Jumpluff.

"See? This match is going to be done before you can do anything." Harry said.

"Oh really?" Ramos said, sending out a Gogoat.

Harry once again had Greninja use Acrobatics. The attack landed and once again knocked out Ramos' Pokémon. Ramos sent out Weepinbell next which was once again knocked out by Acrobatics.

"Well, I'll be, you did end it before I could do anything." Ramos said with a laugh.

"The winner of this match is the Challenger!" Grant shouted.

"Yeh believed in yer Pokémon… And they believed in yeh, too… That's what made them so powerful I couldn't do anything. Mighty oaks from acorns grow. Go on, then. Yeh've earned it. Here's yer own Plant Badge, sprout." Ramos said, handing Harry a leaf shaped badge.

"May as well take this too, it's TM86 Grass Knot. The heavier the Pokémon the stronger the move is." Ramos said, handing Harry a disc.

"Thanks!" Harry said before turning towards the exit which was a gigantic slide. The three jumped on and slid down, cheering all the way. When they got out it was getting dark out so the trio went to the Pokémon Center to sleep for the Pokémon Showcases in the morning.

When they reached the location of the Pokémon Showcases it was a gigantic building with balloons all around. The first Showcase of the day was the Female's Division or more commonly known as the Princess Division. Shauna registered with the Bulbasaur she got back in Lumiose and her Braxien, which had evolved back in Shalour City. Harry and Grant headed to the audience. Soon enough a man wearing a blue trench coat and a blue hat carrying a black staff with a Kelfki on the top came out.

"Welcome everyone to the Courmarine Pokémon Showcase Princess Division, you know me as Monsieur Pierre! Today we have twelve contestants today competing for the Courmarine Princess Key!" Pierre shouted, Klefki coming up and showing off the key.

The Courmarine Princess Key was a golden key with a heart shaped blue gem inlayed in the key. The end of the key was shaped like a tiara with blue gems in the tips.

"The theme of today's Showcase for the Female Division is styling. Our contestants will dress up their Pokémon in looks that fit them and then present the Pokémon by walking down the runway. After that when we have our four finalists it is time for the Freestyle Round. In that round, much like the contests of Sinnoh and Hoehn, the Trainers will show off the beauty and grace of their Pokémon. However a big difference is that the Trainer must be a part of the presentation." Pierre said.

An assistant came up and spoke into Pierre's ear.

"Oh! It's time for the Courmarine Pokémon Showcase, Princess Division, to begin!" Pierre shouted.

The first set of three girls came out and began to design their Pokémon. One of them had a Sylveon just like Harry and was adorning it with various Ribbons that brought out their Pokémon's beauty. She ended up winning and proceeding to the next round. The next set of girls came and went just as the next did and soon it was the last set of three, in which Shauna was part of. Shauna was styling her Bulbasaur's back with colourful flowers. Shauna and Bulbasaur then proceeded to walk down the walkway, gaining many cheers. When it came to vote Shauna ended up winning the round.

"Alright everyone! It's time for the finals, the Freestyle round! First up is the winner from the first set of girls, Mademoiselle Syvia!" Pierre announced.

Syvia was the girl who dressed up her Sylveon the first round. She did moderately well with Sylveon and her other Pokémon, Mismagius. After Sylvia were the other two winners and then finally it was Shauna. Shauna walked out in a beautiful outfit that seemed to match both her Braxien and her Bulbasaur. However it was not a dress, as she was wearing pants and a flowy shirt. Shauna first had her Bulbasaur shoot multiple Energy Balls into the air. She then started flipping towards Braxien and landed hands first onto Braxien's hands. Braxien then pushed Shauna into the air and followed up with multiple Embers, all of them hitting the Energy Balls, causing explosions that turned into Fireworks with Shauna in the middle. It was reminiscent of their time at Parfum Palace. This performance caused raucous cheering all over the room.

A few minutes later all four contestants were on the stage and above them a lock that corresponded to each of them.

"Alright everyone! Use your Pokélumes to vote for your favorite!" Pierre shouted.

Everyone held up the Pokélume stick and orbs came flying out first it was a few for Sylvia and the other contestants but then it was a gigantic amount for Shauna. By the time it was finished, Shauna's was mostly filled it.

"It looks like we have our winner! Mademoiselle Shauna!" Pierre shouted, as Klefki flew to Shauna and gave her the key, everyone cheering.

Soon after that everyone was granted a 30 minute break, so that the males could register and people leave if they wanted to. Harry went and registered with his Greninja and Meowstic. After that 30 minutes were up there was a different person as the announcer. Out came a woman with long red hair and a jester-like outfit.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to the Courmarine City Pokémon Showcase, Prince Division! You may know me as Mademoiselle Piera. Today we have nine contestants, which is understandable since this is a new idea we're trying! They are all competing for the Courmarine Prince Key!" Mademoiselle Piera announced, her own Klefki floating on her staff.

The Courmarine Prince Key looked very much like the Courmarine Princess Key, except the gem was red and the tiara was a crown.

"Today's Showcase theme is baking! Because of this theme, for the first round we have three judges who came in to test the Poképuffs that our contestants make today. After that round we have the Freestyle round! Much like the Princess Division, the guys must perform with their own Pokémon and present a wondrous display for us!" Piera said.

The three judges were actually a shock to the audience. The first judge was none other than Viola, the First Gym Leader and her now evolved Masquerain. The second judge was Fashion Star and Gym Leader of Laverre Town, Valerie and her Sylveon. The last judge was Ramos and his Gogoat.

"That's right folks! Our three judges are none other than Pokémon Gym Leaders! Also I heard from two of the judges that apparently someone who they believe to have a chance at beating Pokémon Champion Diantha is competing!" Piera shouted, causing the crowd to go crazy.

Soon enough it was time to start the Pokémon Showcase. Like Shauna, Harry didn't come in till the end. When it was Harry's turn he went straight to work. Because of the Dursley's he was the equivalent of a five star baker. So he would use all his skills to make the best Poképuff available. He had Meowstic look for the right ingredients and Greninja help with the preparations. He then filled the mold with the batter and began to bake them. Once they were done they began to decorate it. When they were done the base of the Poképuff was pink with white icing on the top covered with pink icing and on top were three cherry blossoms. Soon enough though time was up and they served the Poképuffs.

"My, is this what I think it is?" Valerie mystically said.

"Yes, I think it is, it's a Supreme Spring Poképuff." Viola said.

"These are really hard to make, since they're considered the epitome of Sweet Poképuffs." Ramos said.

Sure enough the judges all picked Harry and he moved on to the final round. The first two contestants went and did decent jobs some getting a lot of applause.

"It's time for our last contestant, who is the up and coming Pokémon Trainer! Monsieur Harry!" Piera announced

When it came to Harry's turn he knew what he was doing. First he had Meowstic use Shadow Ball multiple times and then hold him in the air while spinning the Shadow Balls around him. Then he had Greninja use Acrobatics to disrupt every Shadow Ball. It created a magnificent show of sparkles and mystique as soon enough Meowstic made the sparkles dance in the air, awing the audience.

Soon enough it was time for the audience to vote. Just like Shauna's the lumes first seemed to go to the other contestants until lots and lots of lumes went to Harry. Harry's lock was almost filled in completely.

"And it looks like the winner is Monsieur Harry!" Piera shouted as her Klefki gave Harry the key.

After that the trio went out to dinner to celebrate. What shocked them was that the three Gym Leaders came in to visit them.

"Hey there Harry, Shauna, Grant! Harry and Shauna your guys' performances were photo op worthy!" Viola shouted.

"Yes, the Pokémon had a lot of compliment to pay you." Valerie added.

"Pokémon Trainer and Pokémon Performer! What a combination." Ramos said.

"We're so glad you liked it." Harry said, Shauna nodding.

"I'm looking forward to facing off against you when you come to Laverre Town." Valerie said.

"Same here!" Harry said.

They all chatted a bit before heading off to the Pokémon Center where they went to sleep to be ready for their trip through the Lumiose Badlands. On their way out of Courmarine however Harry received a message from Lysandre, the owner of Lysandre Labs.

"Professor Sycamore told me you can now wield Mega Evolution. That is truly wonderful. With that power, you can steer your future in a better direction! We can't just cover up the old filth with new filth! I implore you to consider what we need to do to change the world into a new, beautiful world." Lysandre's message said.

"Seriously what's with that guy's obsession with beauty?" Harry asked.

"You personally know Lysandre?" Grant asked.

"We ran into him before and he was interested in us. Except he kept spouting stuff about beauty." Shauna said.

With that they headed off to the Lumiose Badlands. When they got into the gate area they ran into Sina and Dexio.

"What took you so long! Ha! Just kidding you guys. We weren't really waiting for you. We were on our way to the Power Plant at Professor Sycamore's request. But the gate connecting Lumiose City to Route 13 has been shut by a mysterious power outage. We have to investigate." Dexio said.

"Anyways! So there's Central Kalos and Coastal Kalos right? Can you tell me what comes next?" Sina asked.

"I'm just going to give you the answer. It's Mountain Kalos. So we're going to take this opportunity and power up your Pokédexes again." Dexio said, installing software into Shauna's and Harry's Pokédex.

"You know… You look different somehow. Your faces seem more mature. Ha! Just joshing with you, I'll be taking my leave now! Bon voyage" Sina said before they left.

"Huh, a power outage? Do you want to check it out?" Shauna asked Harry.

"Yeah definitely. It's extremely odd for something like that to last this long especially with how you've told me Power Plants are run here. I bet it's Team Flare." Harry said.

"Yeah, they're always up to no good." Shauna added.

"Well, let's hope we don't get hurt." Grant said.

"Same here." Harry said, before they headed off.

On their way towards the Power Plant something caught Harry's eye. When he picked it up he found it to be a Power Plant Pass which he pocketed. Sure enough when they reached the Power Plant, guarding the door was a Team Flare Member who Harry immediately sent his Greninja towards.

"I'm a member of the stylish Team Flare, and I'm gonna win in style!" The man said before sending out Houndoom.

Harry immediately used Surf which knocked out Houndoom real fast. Harry then returned Greninja and sent out Meowstic as the grunt sent out Golbat. Meowstic used Psyshock which was super effective but didn't defeat the Golbat in one hit so Golbat hit Meowstic with swift. Thankfully the next Psyshock knocked out the Golbat.

"I'll stylishly run away! Wait!" The man said before franticly searching his pockets.

"Where's my Power Plant Pass! H-how in the world do you have a Power Plant Pass?" The grunt shouted.

"Well, maybe you shouldn't leave things lying around." Harry mocked

"You plan on going to the Power Plant, don't you?!" The grunt said.

"Yup, bye!" Harry and Shauna said before all three of them walked past the grunt and into the Power Plant.

They managed to make it through the first hallway with no problem it was as soon as they reached the second area that they ran into resistance.

The grunt had a serious obsession with knock knock jokes before he finally asked a legitimate question.

"Seriously though. Who are you? Only authorized personnel are allowed in here!" The man said before sending out a Scraggy.

Shauna took this one by sending out her Floette. She had her Floette use Dazzling Gleam which knocked out the Scraggy in one hit. When the grunt sent out a Croagunk she swapped out for her Braxien. She had her Braxien use Psyshock which landed a super effective hit on the Croagunk knocking him out.

"I'll ask again, just who are you? Who do you think you are? Team Flare is busy… redirecting… the power that's supposed to go to Lumiose City, see? Don't get in our way!" The grunt said.

"Ugh why do these guys think we'll do what they say?" Shauna asked.

"It's Evil Villain Behavior 101." Harry joked.

As they progressed into the main room of the Power Plant they ran into more Team Flare Grunts. However like before it was extremely easy to take them out. When they reached the center there was a bald man with a white suit and a woman with a red dress and a visor. They both seemed to be arguing.

"If you are concerned about facts then we have enough energy to power it." The woman said.

"Well then we better get going we have other work to be done." The man said.

"What other work do you mean? Perhaps you mean these annoying Trainers behind us?" The woman said.

"Huh, I didn't think there were anyone left after taking care of the workers." The man said before sending out a Houndoom.

Harry sent out Greninja and had Greninja use Surf which knocked out Houndoom fast.

"If my analysis is correct—and it always is—this battle is 100 percent a failure on my part." The Admin said.

"Scientist, take care of this pesky intruder!" The man ordered.

"Ah ha ha! It would be my pleasure! Come on little Trainer, Let's see what you got! " The woman said.

"Allow me to introduce myself, intruder. My name is Aliana. As you can see, I am one of Team Flare's Scientists. I'm researching a certain something that you wouldn't understand, anyway. Unfortunately for you, I've been charged with the simple task of your elimination." She said, sending out a Mightyena.

Harry sent out Greninja who used Surf. It did some damage but the Mightyena stood strong still. The Mightyena quickly used Bite and it did quite a bit of damage to Greninja. However Greninja quickly knocked out Mightyena with Acrobatics.

"Ugh! You're quite strong. Oh yes—very strong indeed. Ah ha ha! Well I certainly didn't expect you to be so interesting! I do hope we can meet again!" The woman said before departing.

A minute later two people approached them that looked a lot like Sina and Dexio.

"Oh my! You chased off that mysterious bunch before we could even get here?" The Sina look alike said.

"Well, I guess there's always room for more defenders of Kalos! Let me heal your Pokémon as thanks!" She said, healing all of their Pokémon.

"You and your Pokémon are the ultimate team! No doubt about it! But don't push yourself too hard. Here. Take these." The Dexio look alike said, giving them Full Restores.

"Thanks to you, the power is back on in Lumiose City. Now people can pass through the gate connecting Route 13 to Lumiose City again!" He said.

"Well, I think us mysterious people will be off now! I leave before being left. I decide. Au revoir!" Sina look alike said before leaving.

"That was Sina and Dexio wasn't it?" Harry said.

"Yup." Grant said.

"Horrible disguises." Shauna said, before they left, making their way to Lumiose City.

When they almost reached the gate they ran into a really tall man who looked homeless.

"The Pokémon…. The flower Pokémon… The Pokémon that was given eternal life…" The man said before leaving.

Soon enough they reached Lumiose City.

"Hey, they're going to turn on the Prism Tower soon! Let's go see it!" Shauna said.

"That does sound interesting." Harry said.

"Yeah especially since the Tower is where the Pokémon Gym is." Grant said.

So they then headed down the road and reached the Prism Tower. In front of it was a blonde haired little girl and a blond haired boy.

"Good timing! They're just about to turn on the lights! Look! It's Clemont and his little sister, Bonnie! Those two are my friends!" Shauna said.

"Aren't you done yet?" Bonnie asked.

"Not quite… I just have to check on the lighting circuit here." Clemont said.

"Oh, Shauna! And Grant!" Bonnie said, noticing the trio.

"And you are… a challenger? Sorry, but could you wait a moment? C'mon Clemont!" Bonnie said.

"All right! Everything's ready! The future is now, thanks to science! Prism Tower lighting system… ACTIVATE!" Clemont yelled.

Suddenly the entire Prism Tower lit up from bottom to top.

"I think you call this feeling being 'entranced', right? Now, I have another great memory with you, Big H!" Shauna said.

"Excellent… My Prism Tower lightning worked brilliant like my other inventions!" Clemont said.

"Yeah. Right. Whatever… There are challengers waiting for you, you know." Bonnie said before they headed in.

"Clemont's inventions are amazing. He gave me one that solves puzzles, but it always feels like a shame to use it, so I haven't yet. Let's go." Shauna said.

The Lumiose Gym was interesting enough. Apparently to get to Clemont you had to answer questions correctly and battle the trainer guarding the elevator. It was easy enough to pass all the questions and reach the top. When they got there Clemont was waiting for them with Bonnie right there.

"Oh! Thank you again for coming. Allow me to introduce myself…" Clemont said, but was cut off by Bonnie.

"This is the Gym Leader of Lumiose City, Clemont! You'd better watch out! My brother's strong! As strong as you'd expect a Lumiose City Gym Leader to be, got it?" She said.

"Bonnie! How many times do I have to remind you… It's not my own strength that matters, nor any other Trainer's. None of us would be here if it weren't for our Pokémon." Clemont said.

"I know, I know! Anyways, I hope you two have an awesome battle!" Bonnie said.

"She's right about that, at least. Let's both do our best in battle." He said, sending out his first Pokémon, Emolga.

"This will be a battle between Challenger Harry Potter and Gym Leader Clemont. Each Trainer may only use three Pokémon but only the Challenger may switch Pokémon, unless by the use of a move. The winner is decided when one side cannot continue." Bonnie said.

Harry sent out Meowstic, as he figured Greninja would be at a disadvantage. He had Meowstic use Psyshock which hit but Emolga used Volt Switch which swapped out Emolga for Magneton. Meowstic then used Shadow Ball which then Magneton used Thunderbolt. Meowstic used Shadow Ball again and then was knocked out by Thunderbolt. Harry then sent out Charmeleon and had him use Flame Burst which knocked out Magneton. Clemont then sent out Heliolisk. Heliolisk used Thunderbolt which seemed to be a critical hit and knocked out Charmeleon. Harry then sent out Sylveon. Sylveon followed up with Swift which slammed into Heliolisk. Heliolisk then used Thunderbolt which didn't hurt Sylveon much. Sylveon again used Swift which again, hit Heliolisk. Heliolisk once again hit Sylveon with Thunderbolt which seemed to take a lot out of Sylveon. Sylveon quickly finished it with Quick Attack, knocking out Heliolisk. Clemont then sent out his Emolga. Emolga then followed up with Aerial Ace which left Sylveon on his last legs. However Sylveon used Swift which knocked out Emolga.

"The winner is Harry Potter! M-my brother…. You lost?" Bonnie announced before looking shocked.

"Oh, Bonnie… When will you learn there's no shame in losing? I'm glad whenever I get to learn something new thanks to strong Challengers like this boy here." Clemont said.

"All Right." Bonnie said.

"Now, to the victor go the spoils! This Voltage Badge belongs to you!" Clemont said, handing Harry a thunderbolt styled badge.

"Take this TM as well…" Clemont said.

"Oh, I know! I know this one! It's TM24! That's Thunderbolt! It has a Power of 90, and it's accuracy is 100 percent! It'll never miss! It's a really popular Electric Move because of that!" Bonnie said as Clemont handed Harry a disc.

"Arghhh! Bonnie, you-! The future is now, thanks to science! Behold the machine that gives: Technical Machines!" Clemont said.

Everyone sweat dropped at that.

"I just wanted to be able to say it, Ok? At least once. Look, I'm not… It's not like I'm just trying to make myself stronger or… All I'm trying to do is enjoy every day to the fullest with my Pokémon, while doing the science that I love with my inventing." Clemont said.

They all said goodbye and then left the Tower however Harry received a Holo Clip as they left. It was a message from Sycamore.

"Hello there! I wanted to talk to you for a little bit. Could you come to Lysandre Café? Do you know where it is? You can see it from outside the Pokémon Center right by Prism Tower. It's the red café. Just hop in taxi if you can't find it. Be seeing you soon!" Sycamore's message said.

When they entered Lysandre café Sycamore and Lysandre were there.

"Oh hey you three! I was just having a conversation with Lysandre about Mega Evolution." Sycamore said.

"I would like to congratulate you as well. Mega Evolution is something I, too, would like to be able to use." Lysandre said.

"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry… He truly is a chosen one." Sycamore said.

"True. I'm a descendant of the king's younger brother. That being said, that story is 3,000 years old. So it might not be entirely reliable." Lysandre said.

"By the way, Harry… Do you know where the Holo Caster is made?" Sycamore asked.

"Yeah aren't they made in Lysandre's Labs?" Harry asked.

"Yep! Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster." Sycamore said.

"People can be divided into two groups. Those who give… and those who take… It's just as how the Kalos region's two Legendary Pokémon gave life and took life. I want to be the kind of person who gives… But in this world, some foolish humans exist who would show their strength by taking what isn't theirs. They're filth!" Lysandre yelled, causing the trio to back away slowly.

"Long, long ago, the king of Kalos sought to take everything for his own, and he created a terrible weapon. Then the fire of destruction was unleashed… That is the legend that is passed down. Kalos is beautiful right now! There will be no foolish actions if the number of people and Pokémon do not increase. That being said, the future isn't decided. You can't be sure each day will be like the one before. What the king of Kalos did was reprehensible, but… The ultimate weapon did manage to wash the world clean of that era's filth." Lysandre said, before handing Harry a crown shaped rock.

"Thank you for listening. Take that as an apology for my taking up your time." Lysandre said before leaving.

"What a passionate person. He's just like a blazing flame. Perhaps his pride in his lineage is what makes him burn so intensely." Sycamore said.

"Uh, sure." Harry said.

"That being said, what Lysandre says is only one way of looking at things… It's not necessarily the truth. Harry! What's truly important is the time you spend together with others! Treasure these moments spent traveling the Kalos region with your Pokémon!" Sycamore said before saying goodbye.

When they left Harry got a Holo Caster message from Trevor.

"Hello, How have you been? I just wanted to let you know we're all going to meet on Route 14. Please come and join us." Trevor's message said.

They decided to head out to Route 14 since they had to head that way anyways to reach the next city. When they got to Route 14 Trevor shouted out to them.

"Hey guys!" Trevor shouted, standing right next to Serena.

"You arrived very quickly!" Trevor said.

"Oh, hi, Big H." Serena said.

"We were just comparing how complete our Pokédexes are. I won, of course!" Trevor said.

"I'll leave filling up the Pokédex to you guys, Trevor. I don't like it when everyone does the same thing anyway…" Serena said.

"Big H! Let's compare how many Pokémon we've seen, just like we always do! This time let's compare how many Pokémon we've seen in the Mountain Kalos Pokédex! To put it another way, I'm challenging you to my own kind of Pokémon battle." Trevor said.

Sadly however Trevor lost, as Harry and the gang had seen various mountain Pokémon.

"There sure are many different kinds of Pokémon in Kalos. I'd ask you to battle me but I'm trying to figure out a few things." Serena said.

After that they talked a bit before Tierno showed up and Shauna had a suggestion.

"Let's go to the haunted house!" Shauna said.

"The one by Laverre City? That's just a rumor, isn't it?" Trevor asked.

"C'mon! Let's all go find out if the rumor's true together!" Shauna said.

"I think I'll pass." Serena said, saying she wanted to spend time with her Pokémon before leaving.

They all decided to go for it and headed into the forest. Soon enough they reached the house in the forest.

"So this is the house?" Shauna asked.

"It IS a scary house, isn't it? Well, I guess we should go inside." Trevor said.

"What?! You're going inside? Are you all serious?" Tierno shouted.

"Serena is off spending time with her Pokémon. So I guess we'll just have to go in without her and see if the rumor is true by ourselves." Trevor said.

"It'll be interesting anyways." Grant said as they all headed inside.

"Let's get started, then… It was a dark and stormy night many years ago. Lost, I arrived at this house and went inside. The lights would not turn on, so I fearfully looked around the house. Eventually, I made my way into the kitchen. There was no sign of anyone being there….. I found the fridge, and when I opened it, a faint light leaked out. I could finally make out my surroundings. And I saw the faint outline of a man huddling in the corner of the room. I tried to tell him that I was lost and I was hoping he'd let me stay until the morning, but when I approached him. The man suddenly screamed, "Stay back!" I apologized and continued to plead my case. "Please can't you help me?" "I'm not talking to you!" he shouted. I looked at the man in surprise. When I did this, the man asked me… "Can't you see them? Behind you!" "A horde of faceless men!"" The man told.

"Now then.. Since I told a wonderful story that will always haunt you… Would you be so kind as to tip me?" The man asked.

"You're charging us?" Shauna shouted.

"Even haunted houses aren't free, you know!" The man said.

Harry reluctantly tipped the man a hundred yen. Everyone complained and left immediately after that the trio headed into Laverre City. They went to the Boutique first to get a few things and then headed to the Pokémon Center to get into their rooms and go to sleep because it was late. In the morning they head to the Laverre City Gym. The first floor was the Fashion Shop which sold all of Valerie's Collections. It seemed to be modeled after a Doll House and they had to get to the top via teleporters to fight Valerie. Soon enough they reached Valerie's room where she was waiting in the center of the room.

"Hello there, my Pokémon told me that you were coming. Your performance was amazing in the Pokémon Showcase. You've flown all the way through my Gym, fluttering down to me on a fortunate wind. I suppose you have earned yourself the right to a battle, as a reward for your efforts. As you know, I am Valerie. I am the one who leads this Fairy-type Gym. I hope your visit will prove entertaining to you. The elusive Fairy types may appear frail as a breeze and delicate as a bloom, but they are strong." Valerie said.

"This will be a match between Challenger Harry Potter and Gym Leader Valerie. Each trainer may use only three Pokémon however only the Challenger may switch out at any time. The winner is decided when one is no longer able to continue." Grant said.

Immediately after that Harry sent out Greninja and Valerie sent out Mawile. Greninja used Surf which landed head on. Mawile responded by using Bite which did a nice chunk of damage. Harry then had Greninja use Surf again, knocking out Mawile. Next Valerie sent out Mr. Mime which Harry sent Greninja to use Acrobatics on. That move knocked out Mr. Mime quite fast, causing Valerie to send out her last Pokémon, Sylveon. Harry again had Greninja use Acrobatics which landed a hit on Sylveon. Sylveon tried trudging through by using Giga Impact. This move dealt a lot of damage to Greninja but Greninja quickly finished it with Quick Attack.

"If the sun is shining tomorrow… That'd be reason enough to smile." Valerie said.

"Sylveon is unable to continue, Challenger Harry Potter is the winner!" Grant announced.

"Yes… That was a fun battle. I shall reward you for this great victory. This is the Fairy Badge. It is yours now. Its beauty is captivating, is it not?" She said before handing Harry a pink badge.

Valerie then gave Harry a disc but told him that she couldn't remember what it was. They said their goodbyes and left for their next destination, the Pokéball Factory. When they reached the Factory Tierno and Trevor were at the bottom of the stairs complaining that a man won't let them enter. The two then ran up to force the man to let them in. After that Serena came up.

"We were supposed to meet here. I wonder what the matter is." Serena said.

Soon enough there was a shriek and Tierno and Trevor were running away, being chased by a Team Flare Grunt.

"Team Flare? There might be something happening inside. Let's check it out while the guard is gone!" Serena said.

The trio went ahead and entered the factory and was met with a Team Flare Grunt. Serena came in for the rescue however.

"With that suit you must be a Team Flare Member. Did you have to take a part-time job at the Poké Ball Factory to pay for that ugly suit?" Serena mocked.

"What?! How dare you mock Team Flare! Mightyena get them!" The grunt shouted

"I'll take care of this! You go on ahead!" Serena shouted as she sent out her Chesnaught.

The trio then went on ahead. The trio managed to navigate the factory without having to fight any of the grunts, thus saving their energy for the Director's Office. It was there that they saw three women.

"Come now, work for Team Flare! If you'd just help out, we wouldn't have to carry all these Poké Balls by ourselves." Said the green haired woman.

"Or with a contribution of just five million yen you could become a member of Team Flare. It's a no brainer!" The purple haired one said.

"What in the world are you Team Flare fools thinking?! I'll never forgive any group that tries to take all the Poké Balls for itself!" the man said.

"Forget it. Quit wasting your time with this person." The green haired person said.

"I agree. There's no one we can use here. Let's blow this place to smithereens." Said the red head before noticing the trio.

"Well, what do we have here? Intruders?" the red head said.

"You're one to talk! You! Please! Help me!" Said the man.

"My oh my. Getting a little desperate are we, Mr. Company President?" asked the red head.

"Well I guess I'll just have to extinguish your little glimmer of hope." The woman said before sending out a Scraggy.

Harry responded by sending out Greninja who then used Acrobatics. Acrobatics landed a super effective hit, knocking out Scraggy. The Admin then sent out Houndoom to which Greninja knocked out with Surf.

"What?! Two hits! The woman shouted as she lost.

"C-c'mon. You didn't have to go all out for a pitiful president like him!" She said.

"So lame! Just embarrassing from an admin! Still, no worries. We're on it! This pair of scientists will clean up after you." Said the Purple Haired one.

"Let's take him on two versus one. We must improve our chances of winning." The green haired one said.

"We'll see about that!" Serena shouted as she barged into the room.

"Sorry I'm late!" She apologized.

"There's another one?" The green haired asked.

"One kid or two, it doesn't make a lot of difference. When we're the ones fighting together our odds of victory increase exponentially!" The woman said.

They introduced themselves as Celosia (The purple haired) and Bryony (Green Haired). Celosia sent out Manectric while Bryony sent out Liepard. Harry sent out Greninja and Serena sent out Meowstic. Harry quickly had his Greninja use Acrobatics which thankfully knocked out the Liepard in one hit. However the Manetric followed up with Spark which did massive damage to the now Flying Type Greninja. Meowstic then slammed Manetric with Psychic. Greninja then used a move it learned recently, Extrasensory. Since Greninja was feeling really weak it did a lot of damage, knocking out Manetric.

"No way! Wow, we're lame." Celosia said.

"Probability is just probability, after all.. Absolutes do not exist." Bryony said.

The duo complained until the Admin shouted that they needed to leave. When they left the President approached both of them

"You saved us! Thanks so very much! You're astounding Pokémon Trainers for being so young. Very well, then. I want to show you my appreciation. I'll give you a Master Ball or a Big Nugget. Pick whichever you like." The President said.

"I'd pick the Master Ball. I don't really have much need for money." Harry said

The man handed Harry the Master Ball as well as the Big nugget.

"You can have this one as well as a bonus! And for you, too, of course!" The man said, handing Serena the same items.

"I have a feeling you two will put those items to good use unlike those Team Flare people. I have no clue what they were trying to accomplish." The man said

They headed out and ran into Trevor and Tierno who wanted to know if they could have a tour. Serena sadly told them about Team Flare which had Tierno panicked.

"But Poké Balls are for everyone! You can't just have them all." He said

They all said their goodbyes and left, all getting the Holo Caster Special Bulletin about the Poké Balls. The trio headed to the Pokémon Center to rest before the next City, Dendemille City, which was the location of the next Pokémon Showcase.

The route to Dendemille City was a beautiful autumn looking route. It was filled with leaves of all colours everywhere. What Harry found weird were the Trainers hiding inside of the mounds of leaves. Of course the other two found that weird as well because apparently that wasn't common in Kalos. When they crossed the bridge Harry got a weird message from Lysandre talking about how Mega Evolution is a Pokémon releasing all of its potential and him wondering if humans can do this too. Soon enough though they reached Dendemille City where it was snowing lightly. When they were making their way to the Pokémon Center they were stopped.

"Why hello you three!" A familiar voice shouted.

They all turned around and saw Professor Sycamore and Dexio.

"How have you guys been?" Dexio asked.

"Pretty fine." Harry said.

"Well, except for Team Flare attacking the Poké Ball Plant." Shauna said.

"Well there is that." Grant said.

"Team Flare?" Sycamore asked.

"Yeah they stole a lot of the Poké Balls from the Factory." Harry said.

"Interesting… Anyways when I was younger I visited many different regions as well." Sycamore said, looking contemplative.

"You did? Where did you visit?" Harry asked.

"Kanto, Hoehn, Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova." Sycamore said.

"You visited all over?" Shauna asked.

"Yup, and I met many kinds of Pokémon and noticed how each place has its own distinct flavors. So, I really came to enjoy trying new foods as a traveled. Because of my adventures, I'm an expert on cafés all over Kalos." Sycamore said.

"Um… Professor." Dexio said

"Come now Dexio. I'm going somewhere with this. Do you remember the Pokémon that Lysandre mentioned in that café?"

"Yeah, Yveltal, Xerneas, and the one that hasn't been determined." Harry said.

"Wonderful, I knew you would! According to material I've read, those who saw the first two were so overwhelmed by their power, they were only to say that Yveltal resembled the letter Y and Xerneas eyes resembled the letter X. Yveltal apparently absorbs energy whereas Xerneas can give energy. Both of them have a life span of 1,000 years." Sycamore said.

"Wherever do you think a Pokémon that amazing could be now?" Dexio asked.

"When Kalos's Legendary Pokémon loses all of their vitality, they go to sleep in a secret place. I don't have a clue where it could be. The writings that mention it are also around a thousand years old, so they aren't much help." Sycamore said.

"It would be absolutely astounding if you found one of them, Harry. Maybe I'll look into the legend a little bit. If I find something, I'll let you know!" Dexio said.

"Ah ha ha! Oh, it would be a thrill if you found it, indeed! But your journey is yours and your Pokémon's alone. I want you to enjoy yourself and do whatever you'd like!" Sycamore said, before leaving.

Soon after Trevor ran over to them.

"Um… Is the Professor gone already? I was hoping to have him have a look at my Pokédex in person." Trevor asked.

"Yeah he just left." Harry said.

"You like just missed him." Grant said.

"Oh well, I can still get my Pokédex evaluated at a Pokémon Center's PC. Anyways, I'm heading off to go look for Pokémon in the Frost Cavern and fill up more of my Pokédex!" Trevor said before heading off.

"Hum~ We have a day before the Showcase. Should we go there as well?" Harry asked.

"Definitely, I do need to get me some more Pokémon and Ice tends to work as well as Rock." Grant said.

"Yeah we might find some cute Pokémon!" Shauna said.

It was decided then, they headed off towards the northern path which led to a snowy area. When they crossed the bridge there was a man and a Mamoswine. Apparently the Mamoswine was concerned about Frost Cavern. Trevor came up to them

"Mamoswine is a Pokémon that loves cold climates. So, maybe it has sensed something amiss in the Frost Cavern." Trevor said.

"And you are?" the man asked.

"My name is Trevor. I'm researching the distribution of Pokémon in the Kalos region at Professor Sycamore's request." Trevor said.

"I see. So that's why you're walking clear out to the Frost Cavern, then. Mamoswine seems concerned about something over there, so be careful." The man said.

"I will. Thank you. What are you going to do, Big H? I'm going to prepare for my expedition." Trevor said.

The trio then headed out towards Frost Cavern. When they entered it they saw that the cavern was covered in snow with patches of ice on the floor. They traversed through the cave, not really running into any Pokémon but when they reached the end they ran into three Team Flare members. However Trevor was right behind the trio.

"It's really cold in here, isn't it, Big H? Is there something going on up ahead?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's Team Flare." Harry said

"This Abomasnow is a fine specimen! It's absolutely brimming with energy. The more we agitate it, the stronger its Snow Warning Ability becomes, making the snow fall even more furiously. Let's catch it swiftly and get out of here." The blue haired chick said.

"Stop." The Abomasnow cried out.

"HEY!" Trevor shouted, running up to them.

"Hey, you Poké Ball thieves! What are you doing here?!" Trevor shouted.

"What does it look like? We're catching Pokémon. Why else would we have grabbed all of those Poké Balls? It was all so we could catch powerful Pokémon like this Abomasnow. It's full of potent energy!" The blue haired lady said.

"Energy?" Trevor asked.

"You're not the brightest one, are you? Whoever has the most Pokémon and the most energy will come out on top! Lazy people who just wait for things to be handed to them don't get to have these resources!" The woman said.

"But why is Team Flare amassing Pokémon, energy, and money? To put it another way, why is Team Flare always trying to take everything for itself?" Trevor asked.

"Because, they want to be the ones to survive that's why!" Harry shouted.

"Yeah! That's right it's so only Team Flare can survive! After all, why should we care about saving people who aren't on our side? Anyway, I don't mind a healthy curiosity, but I'm afraid I just don't have any more time for you. You two hurry up and send these kids packing!" The woman ordered, the grunts sending out their Pokémon.

The one challenging Harry sent out Golbat and Harry sent Greninja out. Harry had Greninja use Extrasensory which was supereffective against Golbat, knocking it out instantly. The opponent then sent out Manetric which Harry responded with Extrasensory again but the Manetric used Roar afterwards which swapped out Greninja for Meowstic. Meowstic used Psyshock which knocked out the Manetric. Harry then challenged the blue haired chick.

"Hmm.. You're more powerful than you look. I wonder how much energy there is inside you. My name is Mable, it's a pleasure to meet you." She said before sending out Houndoom.

"Well, I'd say the same but I'll end this real quick." Harry said, sending out Greninja.

Greninja used Surf and it knocked out Houndoom.

"You're too strong!" She shouted.

"Hmph! I have no patience for losing. Let's get out of here!" Mable said before leaving.

"Doesn't battling with Team Flare scare you guys?" Trevor asked.

"Not really. If it means saving someone then we'd do it again." Harry said.

"Yeah, I mean that's what friends and good guys are for." Shauna said.

"If we stood aside then we'd be no better than them." Grant said.

"I admit it scares me. I don't like battling them… But we managed to protect Abomasnow by pitching in there. I know I'm the reserved type, and I'm OK with that, but it's important to be bold when necessary. Mamoswine doesn't have to worry anymore and that's what matters. All's well that ends well." Trevor said before leaving.

Before they left Abomasnow handed Harry a glowing stone that seemed to match Abomasnow.

"You're giving me a Mega Stone?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure you'll take good care of it." Abomasnow said.

They then left to head back to the Pokémon center where they quickly went to sleep so they could get up early the next day. When they woke up they headed to the Pokémon Showcase building. The first Showcase was the Prince Division. Shauna and Grant went to the Audience while Harry went to the waiting room.

"Welcome everyone to the Dendemille Pokémon Showcase! Today's first Showcase is the Prince Division who will be competing for the Dendemille Prince Key! We have twelve contestants participating for today's key!" Piera said, presenting the Prince Key via her Klefki.

The Prince Key had a red diamond gem set into the key and the same crown shaped end.

"Today's theme for the Prince Division is styling! Our contestants will be dressing their Pokémon to astound the audience. Anyways! It's time for our first contestants!" Piera said.

This time around Harry was in the first group. He had registered with Sylveon and Lucario this time around. Lucario was going to be the one he styled up for the first part. What Harry was going to do was make a martial arts outfit. Making it was easy enough but he had to make sure it fit to Lucario's body proportions. Harry was successful enough and walked out with his Lucario. The results were instantaneous and people were cheering. By the end of the round Harry ended up winning the round. The next few rounds went by fast, select people winning. Soon enough it was time for the Freestyle round. Harry went up first with Lucario and Sylveon. Lucario started to use Aura Sphere which soon stopped midair. Sylveon then jumped from Aura Sphere to Aura Sphere using Quick attack, which seemed to pop each sphere causing sparkles to explode from the spheres. However when Sylveon jumped to the last one high in the air it didn't pop.

Sylveon then used its ribbons to pull Harry up to him and then flip him into the air. Soon enough the sphere popped after Sylveon jumped into Harry's arms. Lucario then used High Jump Kick to jump high enough to catch both of them and land on the ground. That was the end of Harry's turn. Everyone else went by and soon it was time for judging. By the end of the Poké Lumes voting Harry's lock was halfway filled in. However thankfully Harry's was just a bit more filled in than the person to his left.

"And our winner is, once again! Harry Potter!" Piera shouted, handing Harry the Dendemille Key.

After that Shauna and Grant congratulated Harry before Shauna went off to her Showcase.

"Welcome everyone to the Pokémon Showcase, Princess Division! You know me as Monsieur Pierre! Today we have fifteen girls participating for the Dendemille Princess Key!" Pierre said, presenting the Princess Dendemille Key.

It looked just like the Prince Key except the gem was blue and the crown was a tiara.

"Today's theme is Quiz! We are going to ask you some questions about how you would react to certain situations. The Audience then will vote based on your responses! Now let's begin!" Pierre said.

Shauna was part of the first group. Her Pokémon that were registered were Braxien and a Snorunt that she caught in the Caverns. However in the Quiz round her Pokémon weren't with her.

"Alright, first up Shauna. If you were faced with members of a criminal organization what would you do?" Pierre asked.

This made Shauna laugh on the inside considering that's what she kept ending up with.

"I would fight them of course. While I could call Officer Jenny that doesn't mean that she's going to get there in time." Shauna said.

That response gave her some approval among the Audience. The questions followed the same suit of that. One was about what she would do if she found an injured Pokémon on the side of the road. By the end of the round Shauna ended up winning. It was soon enough time for the Freestyle Round and Shauna was up first. Shauna had Snorunt use Blizzard on the ground, freezing it over. Braxien and Shauna then grabbed hands and started to do a figure skating routine that combined with Psychic to execute some more difficult routines. By the end of the whole thing everyone was cheering. The next few contestants weren't that good in comparison to Shauna's so by the time it was to vote literally everyone voted for Shauna so her Lock was completely full.

"Our winner is Shauna!" Pierre yelled, handing Shauna the key.

After that they all left and headed to Pokémon Center and went to sleep. The next morning they made their way to Anistar City. The path to Anistar City was a gigantic snowy area. In order to get through it they had to ride on the Mamoswine. It was fun but also freezing cold. When they got to the end of the route Harry got a message from Serena challenging him to a battle in front of the Anistar City Gym. When they reached the city they were stopped by Sina.

"I came in place of Dexio to tell you something. There's a person here in Anistar City who knows about the Legendary Pokémon. I also brought you some gifts! Put them to good use!" She said handing them some Repeat Balls, explaining that they make it easier to capture Pokémon they've caught before.

Sina then left after that. Harry and the gang stopped at the Pokémon Center to get a room and heal up before going to the Anistar Gym. When they got there Serena was waiting for Harry. She then challenged Harry and sent out Meowstic while Harry sent out Greninja. Greninja started with Acrobatics and Meowstic was followed up with Disarming Voice. Greninja ended it with Acrobatics. Serena then sent out Vaporeon and had it use Quick Attack. Greninja used Extrasensory and got hit gain by Quick Attack. Greninja then ended it with Acrobatics. Absol was sent out next and knocked out in one hit by Acrobatics. Chesnaught was last and was quickly taken out by Acrobatics as well.

"Hah, That was a fun battle. My Pokémon are so much stronger but you and yours are still one step ahead of us. Anyways I'll heal your Pokémon, good luck at fighting the Gym Leader." She said leaving.

At first when they entered the gym it was a room that led to nowhere but when they stepped into the middle the room shattered. It was now a gigantic ball maze where they had to teleport around the area to get to the gym leader. Soon enough Harry reached the Gym Leader. The Gym Leader was a tall woman with unique purple hair and was wearing a robe.

"A ritual to decide your fate and future. The battle begins! I am the Anistar Gym Leader, Olympia! It will be an interesting time to fight you." Olympia said.

"This will be a match between Challenger Harry Potter and Gym Leader Olympia. Each Trainer may only use three Pokémon however only the Challenger may switch out Pokémon. The winner is decided when one side can no longer continue." Grant announced.

Olympia's first Pokémon was a Sigilyph and Harry's was Greninja. Greninja quickly used Acrobatics while Sigilyph used Light Screen. Harry once again used Acrobatics and knocked out Sigilyph. Olympia then sent out Slowking which was soon attacked by Acrobatics. Slowking then used Yawn which started to make Greninja fall asleep. Harry quickly ended it with Acrobatics but after that Greninja fell asleep. Harry returned Greninja and sent out Charizard while Olympia sent out Meowstic. Harry then raised his hand up in the air.

"Ready to see something new guys?" Harry asked.

Suddenly the ring started to react as did Charizard. Charizard started to glow and when the glow disappeared a much stronger looking Charizard was now showing. Suddenly the area in the room turned into harsh sunlight. Meowstic used Fake Out which prevented Charizard from attack. It then used Calm Mind which seemed to strengthen it. Charizard used Fire Fang on Meowstic which seemed to catch Meowstic on fire. Meowstic then used Psychic which seemed to do a lot of damage to Meowstic. However Charizard once again used Fire Fang which weakened Meowstic a lot. When Meowstic took damage from the fire it fainted, winning the battle.

"Create your own path. Let nothing get in your way. Your fate, your future." Olympia said with a smile.

"Meowstic is unable to battle, Challenger Harry Potter wins!" Grant shouted.

"Now, the Psychic Badge. A testament to your skill. Proof of your power." She said, handing Harry a Badge that looked like an earring and then handed Harry a disc.

"That's TM04 Calm Mind. It strengthens both the defense and offense of a Pokémon. Pokémon that takes life awakens—voices of woe. That is your future." She said ominously before teleporting them back to the entrance.

"I wonder what she meant by that." Harry said.

"Olympia is a user of Psychic type Pokémon for a reason. She can see glimpses into the future." Grant said.

"That's really interesting." Shauna said.

"Ugh, Seers." Harry groaned.

"Ah, you misunderstand. Psychic Trainers see glimpses of the future. Not the exact things that are going to happen but pictures of it." Grant said, relaxing Harry.

"I'm sure that getting the Psychic Badge wasn't too hard for you." Serena said, running up to him.

"I think that I'll challenge you to a daily battle after this is done. Seems like the friendly thing to do. Of course I don't think that'll happen." Serena said.

"Why not?" Harry asked.

"Because, you're going to other regions. I need to stay here and learn more about myself. If you ever come back I'll be happy to fight you." Serena said.

Soon they received a Holo Cast Message form Lysandre.

"Pokémon Trainers. I come to you by the Holo Caster to make an important announcement. Listen well. Team Flare will revive the ultimate weapon, eliminate everyone who isn't in our group, and return the world to a beautiful, natural state. Unproductive fools are consuming our future…. If nothing changes, the world will become ugly and conflicts will raze the land from end to end. I repeat. We will use the ultimate weapon and wipe the slate clean. I'm sorry, those of you who are not members of Team Flare, but this is adieu to you all." He said before ending the message.

"What… was Lysandre saying? Wiping the slate clean? Eliminating everyone but Team Flare?! Harry we need to look for Team Flare's headquarters! Perhaps he's in Lumiose City…" She said before running off.

"I do agree about that, everyone get on Charizard I'm going to fly us to Lumiose City." Harry said.

"Yeah let's go, we have to stop this." Shauna said.

"Lysandre cannot do this to the world." Grant said.

They flew to Lumiose City and headed to Lysandre Café. There they quickly took out the Team Flare members there and learned that there was an entrance at the back of the café. They opened it and went inside. When they did they ran into Lysandre.

"Welcome. This world will eventually reach the point of no return… Saving the lives of all is impossible. Only the chosen ones will obtain a ticket to tomorrow. Do you want to have a ticket? Or do you want to stop me." Lysandre asked.

"The answer is obvious! We'll stop you!" Harry shouted.

"Yeah you're insane!" Shauna shouted.

"This plan of yours is going to be stopped." Grant said.

"Show me in battle." Lysandre said, sending out Mienfoo.

Harry sent out Greninja and used Acrobatics which knocked out Mienfoo. After that Lysandre sent out Gyarados. Harry used Acrobatics which after which Greninja was hit by Aqua Tail. Greninja did it again but Aquatail slammed into it at the same time, knocking both out. Harry then sent out Sylveon while Lysandre sent out Murkrow. Sylveon used Moonblast which knocked out Murkrow. Then Lysandre sent out Pyroar which Harry returned Sylveon and then sent out Lucario. Harry Mega Evolved Lucario and had it use Bone Rush which knocked out Pyroar.

"Excellent! I can feel the fire of your convictions burning deep within your heart! Wah ha ha! Your convictions, and those of your Pokémon, please me! You are here to stop me. But I ask you to wait. I tried to save people—and the world—with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect… The world was just too vast… and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone… That's why I decided the only way to save the world was to take it all for myself. I don't expect that I will ever make you understand how I think and feel… Try to stop the ultimate weapon if you must, but to do so, you will have to explore our lab and have Pokémon battles with all you meet." He said before explaining that one of the Scientists have the keys to the elevator.

He then headed into the Elevator and left. Soon enough after moving through the area they ran into Aliana. Shauna took this one and easily defeated her. Aliana then taunted them asking which teleporter is the right one. Luckily the one they chose, the left one, was the correct one. They continued on and ran into Sina and Dexio who talked about looking for someone. Of course they denied that they knew the trio. Sina then gave them Revives, items that allowed a Trainer to bring a Pokémon back into the battle. They then left and continued on. The next scientist they ran into were the duo Celosia and Bryony. First up was Celosia which wasn't hard enough to beat. Then it was Bryony which was again easy enough to defeat.

"Your ability flies in the face of all probability! Just what is the source of your power?!" Bryony yelled.

"You wouldn't understand." Was Shauna's response.

"What's this?! Who would have thought a child like you could beat us both? You and your Pokémon were utterly in sync in that battle, and I know why. You're here for answers, aren't you? I suppose we're at your mercy. I will tell you what I know, at least." Celosia said.

"We've been using the electricity we stole from the Power Plant to get everything prepared for activating the ultimate weapon. But it's not like that's all we'll need to use it. Are you following me? We'll need energy absorbed from Pokémon to power the device! Yes! It's the stones on Route 10 that will steal that energy for us and power the ultimate weapon!" Bryony said.

"In reality, those stones that line Route 10 are the graves of Pokémon. When the ultimate weapon was used to end that horrible war over 3,000 years ago, it stole the lives of all those Pokémon. Their lives were the price of peace then. And if we want to make our own wishes come true today, we in Team Flare also have to sacrifice something precious." Celosia said.

"That's horrible! They're using the energy of dead Pokémon." Shauna said as they left.

"We have to stop them." Grant said.

"Yeah, let's go." Harry said.

Soon enough they ran into Mable, who they assumed had the key because she was the last Scientist.

"Oh, oh, oh? You're those kids from the Frost Cavern…. On your lonesome this time?" She asked.

"No I'm with my Pokémon." He said, with the other two nodding.

"Interesting. We gather data about all the Trainers in the region through the Holo Caster, so we know all about you guys. And you know how the Mega Ring is used to awaken a Pokémon's power right? Just like how the ultimate weapon can max out a Pokémon's power. Looks like you and me are practically after the same thing, yeah?" She said.

They began to battle and it was easy enough to take her Houndoom out with a Surf. Then it was really easy to take out Weavile with Moonblast.

"Ding! Ding! You did it! To the victor goes the spoils! Here! An elevator key for you!" She said, handing him a key.

They then rushed off to the Elevator and went down. When they reached the second floor they ran into the same man who they saw at the badlands in a prison with Lysandre staring at him.

"Listen, one who will face Lysandre. A terribly long time ago… There was a man and a Pokémon. He loved it very much. But soon a war began and the man's beloved Pokémon took part in the war. Several years passed. He was given a tiny box. The man wanted to bring the Pokémon back. No matter what it took. The man built a machine to give it life. He brought his beloved Pokémon back. The man had suffered too much. His rage still had not subsided. He could not forgive the world that had hurt the Pokémon he loved. He turned the machine into the ultimate weapon. The man became a bringer of destruction that ended the war. The Pokémon that was given life must have known… That the lives of many Pokémon were taken to restore its life. The resurrected Pokémon left the man." The giant man told.

"That is a really sad story." Shauna said.

"Yeah." Harry and Grant responded.

"Get the key back. It should not be used. Everything will vanish again. Do you want to know unending pain.. like I have?" The man said.

"That is AZ. He has the same name as a king that lived three thousand years ago. And for some unknown reason, he had the key to the ultimate weapon hung around his neck. It's finally time. Follow me to my chambers." He said, walking off.

They went down another floor and soon ran into a baldish man and Lysandre who were talking about the Poké Balls. Soon they turned to the trio.

"One push of a button, and we can activate the ultimate weapon from this room. I believe being a chosen one means you have the potential to change the future! Whether we activate the ultimate weapon or leave it safely underground will rest upon if you actually have this potential or not." He said before leaving.

"Oh ho ho! I've been waiting for you. I need to do some research let's begin!" He said sending out a Crobat.

Harry quickly knocked it out with Extrasensory which was super effective against it. He then sent out Malamar to which Harry had Greninja use Acrobatics. Malamar then used Venoshock which dealt a decent amount of damage. Harry then knocked out Malamar with Acrobatics again.

"Wonderful! Amazing! You have tremendous skill and bravery! When you add that up, it means I will tell you something very interesting. It happened three thousand years ago. The ultimate weapon was used to put an end to the war in an instant. If we use that incredible power, we can finally free Kalos of the foolish Humans that plague it! Pick the right button, one activates it and one doesn't!" The man named Xerosic said.

Harry pressed the blue button.

"Winner, winner! Congratulations! But I'm still going to activate the ultimate weapon! I know the boss promised not to but I refuse to let the potential go to waste! I'll just use my remote, here! And the power is ON!" He said.

He told them to look at the monitor and what they saw terrified them.

The stones at Geosenge Town lowered and then a gigantic machine started rising through the ground and then it opened up into what looked like a blooming flower with gigantic purple energy. It then stopped moving and settled on the ground.

"Did you see? The ultimate weapon is reborn! The poisonous flower has bloomed! All shall perish! Except for Team Flare! The boss' dream will come true! And it equals a victory for our Science!" He yelled.

The trio ran out of the labs and flew to Geosenge Town. When they approached the area that Team Flare member ran to Serena ran to them.

"I'm going with you! While I was in Lysandre's Labs the masked heroes told me what is going on." She said.

"You do know they're Sina and Dexio right?" Shauna asked.

"Yeah but hey, they put a lot of work into it. So give credit where it's due." She said before continuing.

"They told me what Team Flare plans to do with the ultimate weapon! C'mon! Let's stop Team Flare… No… We have to stop Lysandre himself! The world isn't corrupt enough to give up on yet!" She said before running with them into the elevator. When they reached the bottom floor they went out. It was filled with Scientists and Team Flare members. At the end of the room was Lysandre looking into a room.

"The ultimate weapon's flower has finally bloomed above the soil. Don't you find its beauty captivating? As we speak, it draws its energy from the Legendary Pokémon. Harry! I apologize that the weapon was unearthed even after you chose correctly in the lab. But conflicting egos drive this world—things don't always go the way you want!" Lysandre shouted.

"We're not going to let you use the ultimate weapon!" Serena shouted.

"Even though resources, space, and energy on this planet are limited, the number of people and Pokémon have increased to an unsustainable level. Whether it's money or energy, the ones who steal are the ones who win in this world." Lysandre said.

"But that doesn't give you the right to destroy everyone but the ones Team Flare chooses!" Serena shouted.

"So, tell me. The Mega Ring, did you share it?" Lysandre said.

"That's different! We competed for it, but…" Serena tried to counter.

"When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things." Lysandre said.

"That is an outright lie and you know that!" Harry shouted.

"Oh? How?" Lysandre asked.

"Because, even if you do reduce that the ones who are rich will be greedy and hoard everything for themselves! There can never be a world without conflict. Conflict is very so in the nature of human beings!" Harry yelled.

"So cynical, yet you are right." Lysandre said.

"What about Pokémon?" Serena asked.

A tear fell from Lysandre's face.

"Tears.. Why?!" She yelled.

"Pokémon, shall no longer exist. Pokémon are wonderful beings, Humans have worked with Pokémon and we have helped each other flourish. But precisely because of that they will inevitably become tools for war and theft! Enough of this. You want to stop the ultimate weapon, and I refuse to do so. So, I will keep you busy for just a moment…" He said, sending out Mienshao.

Harry quickly defeated Mienshao by using Greninja's Acrobatics. He then swapped out for a new Pokémon that he had gotten from a trainer on the way here. It was one of his Pokémon Showcase fans. At first it was a Haunter but by trading it, it had become a Gengar. The Gengar came out laughing at the Gyarados as it tried to intimidate it.

"Now to unveil a new Mega Evolution." Harry said, raising his hand into the air.

Gengar started to glow and shine. Soon it cleared to reveal a new Gengar that had two arms rather than legs and an eye on its head. Harry had Gengar use Thunderbolt which instantly knocked out Gyarados. Harry then switched out Mega Gengar for Greninja as Lysandre sent out Pyroar. Greninja used Hydro Pump which it had learned recently and it knocked out Lysandre's Pyroar. Harry then resent out Mega Gengar as Lysandre sent out Honchkrow. Once more Mega Gengar used Thunderbolt which knocked out Honchkrow in one hit.

"The strength to protect, huh? But what are you really protecting? A tomorrow that will only end up being worse than today?" Lysandre asked.

"Anyways you're as strong as ever. But… It's too late! There's no hope for you now! Go down to the lowest floor and see for yourself!" Lysandre said.

"It's not over yet! Big H! Let's look for the Legendary Pokémon! Trainers are protected by Pokémon, but they protect Pokémon too right? Look! You can see the entrance over there!" She said.

They ran over to the door and went through it. As they progressed through it they were challenged by many Team Flare Members and they easily took them down. Soon enough they ran into a giant door with an electronic lock.

"What should we do?" Grant asked.

"This might help!" Shauna said, running to the lock.

"It's a device that helps you when you're stuck on a puzzle. Clemont gave it to me! An electronic lock and a puzzle are the same sort of thing, right?" She said as she operated the puzzle.

A minute later the lock opened up but her device broke.

"Amazing Shauna! You and Clemont's device are both full of surprises…. So… We're finally here. The Legendary Pokémon is inside. Let's go help it!" Serena said.

Inside the room was a giant black egg with red energy coming out via tubes.

"We're deep in the underground. It's somehow hard to breathe in here." Serena said.

"Hey… Is that cocoon thing the Legendary Pokémon?" Shauna asked.

"It doesn't look like it's alive, but…" Grant said.

Soon a lot of Admins were standing in front of them. Shauna ran off being chased by some of the admins. Serena chased after her. Grant and Harry then fought the many Admins. It was easy enough to beat all them as they had weak Pokémon. The Admins then ran away to get reinforcements. Harry then walked up to the button but suddenly a sound was made.

"RRRH!" was the sound.

Suddenly the egg started to shake and glow, blue lights flying all around it and soon revealed a black and red bird that resembled a Y. It landed in front of Harry.

"So you're the person that Jirachi brought over here." Yveltal spoke into Harry's mind.

'How do you know this, you've been asleep.' Harry thought.

'Easy, I get messages from the other Legendaries in my dreams. I shall test you to see if you are worthy of saving this world.' Yveltal said before charging into battle.

Harry sent out Sylveon who stared down Yveltal.

'Ah, young Sylveon. I see you are very protective of your Trainer.' Yveltal said before charging at Sylveon.

Sylveon and Yveltal traded blows, never letting the other gain an inch. However soon enough Yveltal messed up and Sylveon landed a Pixilized Swift that was super effective. Yveltal crashed to the ground.

'You are strong, you know what. Take me with you. I will judge you through your actions as you travel the world. I want to see you change this world.' Yveltal said.

'You mean…' Harry asked.

'Yes, use one of those Poké Balls.' Yveltal said.

Harry threw a Great Ball which hit Yveltal and sucked it into it. The Ball shook three times before stopping, signifying Harry caught Yveltal. Soon enough Serena and Shauna returned.

"What a relief… Now they can't use the ultimate weapon." Serena said.

"You're amazing Big H!" Shauna said.

"Yeah, a Legendary Pokémon wanting to be your friend like that! It's unbelievable!" Grant said.

"What a startling development! I never would've thought you were really a chosen one!" Lysandre said from behind them with a device attached to him.

"So THIS is the mighty Yveltal?! I expected more from a Pokémon called a legend! You desire help from people? YOU need help from a human?" Lysandre mocked.

"Wh-what's going on with that outfit!?" Shauna shouted.

"Is that really you, Lysandre?" Grant asked.

"Big H already beat you! What are you doing?" Serena said.

"For me, victory is using the ultimate weapon. In order to do that. I need to reclaim the Legendary's power and send it to that weapon once again. I'll be taking the Legendary Pokémon back now! This time I too shall use the Mega Ring and Stone that you researched during your travels." Lysandre said before sending out Mienshao.

Harry sent out Yveltal and Yveltal used Oblivion Wing on Mienshao that knocked out Mienshao in one hit. Harry then swapped out for Greninja who used Hydro Pump on the Pyroar that he sent out. It knocked out Pyroar in one hit. Harry then once again swapped Pokémon to Sylveon as Lysandre sent out Honchkrow. Sylveon used Swift and it knocked out Honchkrow once again in one hit. Harry then swapped out for Gengar who he promptly Mega Evolved as Lysandre sent out Gyarados. Gyarados then Mega Evolved as well. Gengar then used Thunderbolt but was then hit by Earthquake which did loads of damage to Gengar. Gengar then finished it with Thunderbolt. Lysandre then sighed.

"It's over. They will go on until the only thing left to do is squabble over the remaining scraps of hope." Lysandre said.

"WAUGH!" Lysandre shouted.

"You know what I think? Even if there's only a little bit of something, it's best to share it. Even you managed to use Mega Evolution… That's because Gyarados shared its power with you, didn't it?" Harry asked.

"And it wasn't just Gyarados but your other Pokémo, too.." Shauna said.

"The Legendary Pokémon is in Harry's possession, so you can't use the ultimate weapon." Grant said.

" You don't have to worry about the future all by yourself… I think everyone should work together to make a better, beautiful world…" Serena said.

"If that were possible, all wars would have ended long ago! I can only see one future! One where selfish, foolish humans think about nothing other than themselves and steal more and more from one another… It's a tragic future! The original purpose of this device was to bring a Pokémon back to life. But the ancient king transformed it into a weapon." Lysandre said.

"Hmm. When the Legendary Pokémon awakened, it took back much of its power but there is enough power to use it once. Harry and his friends. The ultimate weapon is a flower that bloomed to no avail.. Just like me…. But this ends here! I will show you what its remaining power can do!" Lysandre yelled.

"Guys! Let's get out of here!" Serena yelled.

They ran out of the lab as soon as the weapon fired and landed back on itself. The weapon then fell into the hole and exploded down there. Everyone was gathered in front of the hole, including Tierno, Trevor, Sina, and Dexio.

"Phew… I'm so glad you're all safe! I really respect the courage and kindness all of you showed." Sina said.

"Thank you… We're all fine. Are you guys all OK, Tierno?" Serena asked.

"Yep! As you can see, we're doing great! Thanks for asking! We worked together to save the Pokémon connected to the stones on Route 10! I mostly left the fighting to Sina and Dexio." Tierno said.

"Who are these Sina and Dexio you speak of? We're the masked heroes!" Sina said.

"Don't worry about it, Tierno. We were all doing the best we could to stop Team Flare's plans. Oh we have a little bit of news for you all. We managed to destroy the machine in Lysandre's lab that was spying on people via Holo Caster." Dexio said.

Serena thanked Harry before leaving with everyone but the trio. Soon the giant man AZ walked up to the trio.

"A long, long time ago. A very long time ago. The man made an ultimate weapon. Using it required the life force of many Pokémon… The Pokémon granted eternal life learned this. The resurrected eternal Pokémon left the man's side. The man was surprised and sad. He had revived it so they could be together… Day after day passed, but they were never to meet. Eventually, he became a mere shell of a man. A man condemned to wander forever by the light of the weapon… And a Pokémon that also wanders eternally.. Where is it now? What do I have to do to meet it?" AZ said before leaving.

The trio then decided to fly to Anistar and then head to the next city. Harry before leaving Anistar received a message from Sycamore asking to meet in Couriway Town. They made their way through the Route and soon enough reached Couriway Town As they were crossing the bridge Sycamore stopped them.

"Hey, I have to apologize to you about Lysandre. I'm very sorry for the trouble he caused… And I'd also like to thank you! I'm sincerely grateful for what you did for all of the Pokémon and people of this world. And by stopping Team Flare, you also saved Lysandre. I always knew he desired a beautiful world… And maybe someday what he envisioned will happen. But what I wanted was for him to put his ego aside and lead everything to greater heights. I never had this discussion with him, though. So I'm partially responsible for this." Sycamore said.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Harry said, Shauna nodding.

"Yeah, you can't blame the teacher for the sins of the student." Grant said.

"Well, enough of that. Harry, Shauna! I want you and your Pokémon to take everything you learned from your journey and apply it to your future and me!" He said.

They had a battle where Sycamore used the evolved form of the starters. Harry quickly ended it with Greninja.

"You are something, strong bonds by spending time together and by caring about one another. That's why you and your Pokémon are so strong. You truly love and trust your Pokémon! A treasure of mine is hidden in this town! I'm planning a surprise for all of you for fighting Team Flare and saving Kalos." Sycamore said before leaving.

They then headed off to the next Route. When they reached the bridge Tierno and Trevor showed up. Both of them wanted to battle Harry. First it was Tierno who wasn't that hard to beat. Though Tierno did give a good fight. Then Trevor healed their Pokémon and then fought Harry. Trevor was interesting to fight and soon Harry beat him.

"There is still so much I don't know. Do I just not have what it takes?" Trevor asked.

"Wow! I don't think I've ever heard you worry about being weak or strong before, Trevor! You seem a lot bolder than you used to be, probably because of your journey and your friends." Shauna said.

"Speaking of friends, where is Serena?" Grant asked.

"She's off training with the Mega Evolution guru. She said friends are friends even if they can't be together." Tierno said.

"Indeed! Well, there's something we must attend to. Be seeing you! Oh wait! I have this for you." Trevor said, handing Harry a disc.

"It's Waterfall, it lets you climb up Waterfalls!" Trevor said before leaving with Tierno.

"You know I'm glad I went on this journey with you. I made some great friends. And thanks to that I was able to visit many places, met a lot of nice people, and make wonderful memories!" Shauna said.

"Yeah, I'm glad I came as well. I'd never had been through this as a Gym Leader." Grant said.

"Yeah, let's promise to stay together for as long as we can." Harry said, everyone nodding.

Soon enough after that they reached Snowbelle City. They went to the Pokémon Center and got rooms and went to sleep. They then woke up to headed to the Snowbelle Gym. Apparently however the Gym Leader was out and in the Forest. They made their way to the forest and through it and soon enough reached a place that seemed like a Pokémon Village and in it was the Gym Leader.

"Welcome to the Pokémon Village. This place is a secret, y'know. Most of the Pokémon here are runaways—escaped from bad peple who did awful things to them. It's a shame how many heartless Trainers who can't bother to care for their Pokémon are out there. Some of these Pokémon, though… Some of 'em are just too strong and found they really didn't have a place in the outside world, so they came here. Your Pokémon sure seem to think highly of you. You've had some good times together." The Gym Leader said.

The man then yelled out to the Pokémon and they came running back.

"Sometimes I come out here to check on them. Oh I haven't introduced myself, the name's Wulfirc. I'm usually over at the gym in Snowbelle City. I'll be waiting for you over there." He said before leaving.

The trio made their way back to the city and into the gym. The Gym was a puzzle box where you had to turn the walkway correctly to get to Wulfric. Soon enough they reached Wulfirc.

"Y'know what? Ice is both extremely hard and terribly fragile at the same time. You know what that means? Depending on which Pokémon you choose and what moves they use, I could be your most challenging opponent yet or I could be a total pushover. But that's all right. That's how it should be! Anyway enough of my rambling! Let's get this show on the road!" Wulfric shouted.

"This match will be between Challenger Harry Potter and Gym Leader Wulfric. Each Trainer may only use three Pokémon however only the Challenge may change Pokémon. The winner is decided when a trainer is unable to continue." Grant said.

Wulfric first sent out Abomasnow which Harry quickly took down with Acrobatics. After that Wulfric sent out Cryogonal. Harry once again had Greninja use Acrobatics and it took Cryogonal down in one hit. Wulfric then sent out Avalugg. Harry used Extrasensory and then got hit by Avalugg. Then Greninja hit Avalugg with Extrasensory which fainted it.

"Avalugg is unable to continue! Challenger Harry Potter is the winner!" Grant yelled.

"Outstanding! I'm tough as an iceberg, but you smashed me through and through! Impressive your Pokémon fought with great courage. I can tell that you've trained your Pokémon well." Wulfric said, handing Harry the Iceberg Badge and a disc.

"That's TM13, Ice Beam. The Pokémon sends out a beam of ice that has the potential to freeze the opponent." He said.

They then headed out of the Gym. Soon enough Wulfric came out.

"You know what? You have all the Gym Badges now, so there's really only one thing left to do…. It's time you headed off to the Pokémon League! Listen up, now… Trust in your Pokémon, and there's no limit to what you can achieve!" Wulfric said, wishing Harry well.

The next day was the Apprentice Class Pokémon Showcase. It actually was pretty easy this time around for both of them because they knew what to expect. So both Harry and Shauna won the Snowbelle Prince and Princess Keys which were keys with a snowflake gem embedded into the key. This made them ready for the Master Class Showcase which required them to pair up with one other person.

The trio rested up at the Pokémon Center and then headed off to Victory Road the next morning. When they reached the station there was a man waiting at the gate.

"This gate is the entrance to Victory Road! Only Pokémon Trainers who've collected all eight Badges may pass!" The man said.

"These two are my friends, they're not here to fight but watch." Harry said.

"Alright! Your total number of Badges is… One, two, three, four…. Wow! You have all eight. Well then, you may proceed!" The man said.

Harry then proceeded to the white circle which lit up the door in reaction to his badges. The door fell down and stairs started appearing. When it finished they walked up the stairs. They then proceeded through Victory Road, fighting various Trainers. When they reached the Trainer that healed their Pokémon They were stopped by someone.

"Guys! Wait a second!" The person said, revealing to be Serena.

"I've been thinking ever since all that trouble in Geosenge. Lysandre chose only Team Flare. You and I chose everyone but Team Flare. But since our positions forced our hands, you can't really say any of us were right. That's why I feel that… If both sides have something to say, maybe it's best to meet halfway. So I made a decision. From now on, I don't want to battle just to win but to see how the Pokémon think and feel! That's the kind of Pokémon Battle I'm going to have right now!" Serena yelled.

"Alright then Serena. Let's do this, let's have a fun Pokémon battle!" Harry said, sending out Greninja as she sent out Meowstic.

Greninja used Night Slash and it managed to knock out Meowstic. Harry then switched to Sylveon as she sent out Altaria. Sylveon used Moonblast which ended up knocking out Altaria as well. Harry once again switched out, this time for Gengar, as she sent out Vaporeon. Rather than Mega Evolving Harry had Gengar use Thunderbolt which paralyzed Vaporeon. Vaporeon couldn't move because it was paralyzed so it was hit with another Thunderbolt, knocking it out. Harry once more sent out Sylveon when she sent out Absol. Sylveon used Moonblast which knocked out Absol in one hit. Lastly Harry switched out for Greninja as she sent out Chesnaught. Harry took out Chesnaught in one hit by using Acrobatics.

"You know, it's hard to put a finger on it exactly, but I feel like you and I are alike. And that's why I didn't want to lose to you. But I think the reason we're so alike is because we have so many things in common. So I want to give these to you." She said, handing Harry Max Revives.

"I'm renewing my rivalry with you! Since you're my rival. I want you to become a stronger and stronger Pokémon Trainer. We'll keep getting stronger, too, of course! I suppose that first step is mastering the power that comes from the bond between me and my Pokémon, just like you did! Do your best at the Pokémon League! An awesome Trainer like you can handle it!" She said before leaving.

They continued on through Victory Road, twisting around the top soon surfing into a cave. They went up the stairs and soon came out to a magnificent area with a Pokémon Center to the left. Harry healed up his Pokémon, put the Gardevoir that a friend gave him in his party, and turned to everyone.

"This journey was amazing. Of course we're going to be continuing onto other areas but this was good. Now my biggest obstacle is in front of me now, the Elite Four. This is going to be real interesting, and hopefully I can do this. You guys ready?" Harry asked.

"Yup! I started this journey with you at the beginning with you. We've made so many memories together! Of course we're going to make a lot of memories in other regions as well but the first memories are the best! So do your best and beat the Elite Four!" Shauna said.

"When you guys invited me to Dinner at the café in Cyllage City I didn't think much was going to come out of it. However soon I found wanting to go on this journey and you guys agreed. Now I've found myself growing fond of you guys. Harry, put forth your best effort to win!" Grant said, blushing a bit when he looked at Harry.

With that Harry and the gang headed into the Pokémon League building. They proceeded further in and soon a door closed behind them. There were four other doors in the room. In the center of the room was the woman who gave the announcements on Holo Caster.

"You're the illustrious Harry and gang, are you? Welcome at last to the Pokémon League. I am one of the Elite Four. People know me as the Fire-Type- Pokémon user, Malva. Here in the Pokémon League, you'll encounter the four of us—the Elite Four—and our Champion. If you hope to meet the Champion and challenge her here, you must defeat the four of us. Do your best, because if you can't impress us with your real strength, you'll never get to battle her." Malva said.

"I'll do it." Harry said determinedly.

"It should be a walk in the park for you, right? The 'hero' who destroyed big, bad Team Flare." She said before heading off.

Harry quickly decided to follow her and went into the upper right room. There was a platform that the three of them stood on that brought them up to an area with fire all around. Sitting on a throne at the back of the room was Malva.

"Welcome, challenger, to my Blazing Chamber! I am Malva, and I shall be your opponent today." She said before getting ready for battle.

"This will be a battle between Challenger Harry Potter and Elite Four Malva! Both Trainers may use up to six Pokémon but only the Challenger may switch out. Both Trainers may also use any items they have on hand to heal their Pokémon however Malva is restricted to two Full Restores and held items." The Announcer said as both Trainers sent out Pokémon and the Electronic Board on the wall lit up with the number of Pokémon each Trainer had.

Malva apparently had four Pokémon.

Malva first sent out Pyroar as Harry sent out Greninja. Greninja used Hydro Pump which luckily knocked out Pyroar instantly. Malva then sent out Talonflame. Greninja used Hydro Pump but Talonflame dodged and used Brave Bird dealing a lot of damage to Greninja at cost of recoil. Greninja however managed to land the next Hydro Pump, knocking Talonflame out. Next she sent out Torkoal which was quickly taken out by Hydro Pump. Malva's last Pokémon was Chandelure. Chandelure luckily was taken out by Hydro Pump.

"What news… So a new challenger has defeated Malva of the Elite Four!" She applauded.

"Chandelure is unable to continue Challenger Harry Potter wins!" Announcer yelled.

"Fantastic. Utterly fantastic. I'll report to all the world the news of you and your Pokémon dominating the Pokémon League. I AM a Holo Caster star, after all. Heh, I'm such a busy woman… Three more members stand between you and the Champion." She said before bidding farewell.

After they returned to the main room Harry and gang headed to the bottom left one. When they reached that Elite Fours room it was covered in purple smoke that soon cleared to reveal a dragon statue and a woman sitting in the chair.

"Oh goodness, hello to you! Welcome, welcome, come in. You must be a strong Trainer. Yes, quite strong indeed… That's excellent news! Facing opponents like you and your team will make my Pokémon grow like weeds! My name is Drasna. It'll be a joy to fight you." Drasna said,

"This will be a battle between Challenger Harry Potter and Elite Four Drasna! Both Trainers may use up to six Pokémon but only the Challenger may switch out. Both Trainers may also use any items they have on hand to heal their Pokémon however Drasna is restricted to two Full Restores and held items." The Announcer said as both Trainers sent out Pokémon and the Electronic Board on the wall lit up with the number of Pokémon each Trainer had, showing that Drasna, like Malva had four.

Drasna first sent out Dragalge which Harry responded with Gengar. Harry immediately Mega Evolved Gengar and had him use Dazzling Gleam. Dragalge followed that up with Dragon Pulse and then Gengar knocked it out with Dazzling Gleam. Next was Noivern which was swiftly taken out by Dazzling Gleam. Altaria was taken out the same. However when Drudigeon came out the Dazzling Gleam did not one shot it and Gengar was hit by Dragon Tail which swapped Gengar out for Sylveon. Sylveon then ended it with Moonblast.

"Drudigeon is unable to battle! Challenger Harry Potter is the winner!" The announcer yelled.

"Oh, dear me. That sure was a quick battle.. I do hope you'll come back again sometime!" Drasna said.

"I'll see, it was a fun battle." Harry said.

"Oh, you! You're too much! You and your Pokémon are simply charming!" She said before they left.

However before they did leave the room she waved goodbye and gave Harry words of encouragement. When they reached the main room Harry went to the bottom right room which when they reached the Elite Four's Chambers it filled with water.

"No, I simply can't say." The man mumbled.

"You there! Young man! I have a question I must pose to you. Do you think Pokémon battling can ever be worthy of being called art?" He asked.

"Sure, art is different to everyone but I'm sure Pokémon is such an art." Harry said.

"Indeed. You see cooking is the type of art that disappears as soon as it is completed. Pokémon battles are the same. Even memories of sweet victory soon fade after the battle ends. To devote yourself entirely to such a life, made up of fleeting experiences—that is truly artful. My name is Elite Four Siebold, I hope you entertain today." The man said.

"This is a match between Challenger Harry Potter and Elite Four Siebold. Both Trainers may have up to six Pokémon but only the challenger may change during battle. Also either side may use items to heal their Pokémon but Siebold is limited to held items and two full restores. The winner is decided when one side cannot continue anymore." Announce said as Siebold's four Pokémon showed up on the screen with Harry's six.

Siebold first sent out Clawitzer while Harry sent out Gengar. He Mega Evolved Gengar and then had it use Thunderbolt which knocked out Clawitzer in one hit. Gyarados was sent out next and like Clawitzer was taken out in one hit as well. Starmie was sent out next and again was taken out in one hit!

"Hm! You're pretty strong will you end this one in one hit as well?" Siebold asked.

Barbacle was sent out. Gengar used Thunderbolt and shockingly it was super effective, one hit ko'ing Barbacle, ending the battle.

"Barbacle is unable to continue! Challenger Harry Potter is the winner!" The announcer shouted.

"I shall store my memory of you and your Pokémon forever away within my heart." Siebold said.

"Devote yourself entirely, so even that which will fade and disappear is ingrained forever upon your heart and mind! That is the fate of any human being. There is but one course left in your journey of the Pokémon League. Devour it with the hunger for strength. Savor it without leaving a scrap behind." Siebold encouraged.

When they headed into the last room two giant swords fell down and turned, bringing down stairs leading to an armor clad man.

"Well met, young challenger! Verily am I the Elite Four's famed blade of hardened Steel, Wikstrom! With my magnificent Pokémon at my side, I will reveal the scope of Trainer achievement! Let us both give our word that our contest shall be fair and honorable. Ready? En garde!" He yelled.

"This is a match between Challenger Harry Potter and Elite Four Wikstrom. Either Trainer may use up to six Pokémon but only the Challenger is allowed to exchange during battle. Also either Trainer may use items during battle however Wikstrom is limited to held items and two Full Restores. The winner is decided when one Trainer is unable to continue." The announcer said as Wikstrom's four Pokémon showed up.

Harry sent out Charizard while he sent out Klefki. Charizard quickly Mega Evolved and then used Fire Fang. Klefki then used Flash Cannon which wasn't very effective. After that Wikstrom healed his Klefki with a Full Restore which didn't help as Charizard used Fire Fang again. Wikstrom once again used a Full Restore and Charizard used Fire Fang. The Fire Fang burned Klefki, causing it to faint. Harry then swapped out when Wikstrom sent out Probopass for Greninja. Greninja used Hydro Pump which was followed up by Flash Cannon which didn't do much. Greninja then fainted Probopass with another Flash Cannon. Harry then swapped out Greninja for Mega Charizard when Wikstrom sent out Aegislash. Charizard used Fire Fang which was followed up by a Stance Change by Aegislash using Shadow Claw. Charizard once more used Fire Fang which fainted Aegislash. Wikstrom then sent out Scizor which was quickly taken out by Fire Fang, ending the battle.

"Scizor is unable to continue! Challenger Harry Potter is the winner!" the Announcer shouted.

"Glorious! The trust that you share with your honorable Pokémon surpasses even mine! What now? What sweet, glorious pain and joy now rock my mighty heart? My will, which even shakes spears, trembles at so fine a battle as this! I am undone! Good sir, you are indeed our equal—and worthy to enter this lofty hall! The time has come at last for your greatest challenge. Now show our Champion the same strength you have shown us!" Wikstrom said.

As they left Shauna commented about how Wikstrom was very weird. They all laughed at that. When they reached the main room the white door at the front of the room opened. Harry healed all his Pokémon and went forward into the light. When they entered the room there was an empty throne at the end of the room. Harry suspected that's where the King sat. They then made their way onto the elevator that took them to the room Diantha was in. Diantha was smiling at him.

"Welcome at last, dear Trainer. As you must know, I am the Champion, Diantha. Oh, but you are… You're the child I spoke to in Lumiose City and Coumarine City, aren't you? And your friends are with you." She said.

"Yeah, we finally made it here." Harry said.

"It was hard, but Harry did it!" Shauna added.

"And we supported him all the way." Grant added.

"Then that means that you are also the one that dear Augustine said… Of course! How could I—?! Oh, I must look like such a fool not to recognize you sooner! You and your Pokémon and your friends are the ones who stopped Team Flare for us all! It seems wrong of me to say this, but thank you! You saved us all.. I can't wait to see what you and your Pokémon are capable of now that I know exactly what it is you've done already!" She said before beginning the fight.

"This is a match between Challenger Harry Potter and the Champion of Kalos, Diantha! This is a fight for the title of Champion! Whoever wins shall receive the title until a Trainer beats them in a sanctioned match organized by the Pokémon League! Either Trainer may use up to six Pokémon but only the Challenger may switch during the battle. Also either Trainer may use items to heal their Pokémon however Champion Diantha is limited to held items and two Full Restores! The winner is decided when a Trainer can battle no more!" the excited Announcer yelled as Harry's and Diantha's six Pokémon went up on the electronic board.

Diantha first sent out Hawlucha while Harry sent out Greninja. Hawlucha was promptly knocked out by Acrobatics, a move it was super weak to. She then sent out Tyrantum to which Harry swapped out for Sylveon. Sylveon promptly used Moon Blast which knocked out Tyrantum in one hit.

"Well, well, well. It looks like you're strategizing! That will do you a lot of good!" Diantha said with a smile as she was pushed into a corner.

She then sent out Aurorus which Harry hit with Moonblast. Aurorus then used Light Screen which shot Diantha's team's Special Defense through the roof. Sylveon once again used Moonblast and managed to avoid Aurorus' Blizzard. Diantha then used a Full Restore. Sylveon followed up with Moonblast and then Moonblast again. Finally the Light Screen then disappeared and Sylveon used Moonblast. Aurorus used Blizzard but it didn't do any good because Moonblast had lowered Aurorus' Special Attack a bit. Diantha then used a Full Restore once more on Aurorus which led to Sylveon using Swift this time. Sylveon then ended it with Moonblast. Diantha then sent out Goodra to which Sylveon used Cut. Goodra then used Fire Blast which did a lot of damage. Sylveon then used Moonblast which was then followed up by a Fire Blast that missed. Sylveon then ended it with Moonblast. Diantha then sent out Gourgeist which Harry responded by switching out with Greninja. Greninja quickly knocked out Gourgeist with Acrobatics.

"Ah, we're on my last Pokémon. Shall we go for it my old friend?" She asked the Poké Ball in her hand.

She then sent out a Gardevoir to which Harry sent out Gengar. Seeing that Diantha was going to Mega Evolve her Gardevoir Harry Mega Evolved Gengar. Gengar used Thunderbolt which then was followed by a Psychic that knocked Gengar out in one hit. Harry then sent out Greninja who used Acrobatics. Acrobatics thankfully managed to knock out Mega Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir is unable to continue! The new Champion of Kalos is Harry Potter!" the Announcer yelled.

"Witnessing the noble spirits of you and your Pokémon in battle has really touched my heart…" She said before tears came out.

"I-I'm so choked up that it's hard to know what I should say, but I… I…I'm just so glad at this moment that I was good enough to be the Champion… After all, it gave me the chance to meet and battle with you and your wonderful Pokémon. Now I understand why dear Augustine—Professor Sycamore—said he needed to get Lumiose City ready for the new Champion. But before I take you there… My dear Harry, would you mind coming this way with me? Your friends have to stay behind, only the Champions have ever seen the Hall of Fame." Diantha asked.

"Sure, let's go. I'll be back guys." Harry said as they stepped onto the elevator and went further up.

They were in a small room with a Pokémon healer machine. Diantha walked forward to the machine and gestured around.

"Here we are! I'm so glad to welcome you in. This grand chamber is where you enter the Kalos region's Hall of Fame. This is where Pokémon Trainers will live on forever, remembered always for giving their all in battle to the Pokémon League and for the glory and light that they shared with all." She said gesturing for Harry to walk up to the machine.

"Come, Harry… Your love for your Pokémon…. And the way that those Pokémon gave everything they had in battle for you… We'll record them all right here for eternity." She said as Harry placed his Pokémon into the machine.

A few days later the trio and his friends were gathered in Lumiose city with people all around to celebrate them saving the world and Harry becoming champion.

"What a turnout! All these people came here for your achievements! I present all of you with these medals for saving Kalos. On the behalf of everyone I say.. thank you!" Sycamore said.

AZ walked up the red carpet and spoke to Harry.

"Battle me, I want to know what a Trainer is." He said.

"Of course, King AZ." Harry said, causing AZ to chuckle.

AZ sent out Torkoal while Harry sent out Greninja. Torkoal was quickly taken out with a Hydro Pump to the face. Then he sent out Sigilyph which Harry quickly took out with Night Slash. AZ then sent out Golurk which like before Harry quickly defeated with Night Slash.

AZ then smiled at Harry.

"Thank you very much, I finally feel free. Free from the part of me mired in sorrow the part that built the weapon." AZ said.

A Floette began to fly down from the sky. Except this Floette had a black flower, causing AZ to burst into tears.

"Floette, it's been 3,000 years." AZ said crying.

"His Pokémon was waiting all this time… Waiting for him to return to the man he was, the man who loved Pokémon with all his heart." Sycamore said.

"Alright everyone!" Serena announced.

"Before we leave I have a song I want to sing for all of my friends." Serena said.

You and I were born

right here in the same world.

For this one brief life,

we're beneath the same sky.

The great flow of time.

The wide expanse of space.

We are lucky enough

to share this lifetime we get.

We can gain more if we give.

By taking, we only lose.

Let us make this a new age

where we show our gratitude.

There's a fragile bud of hope,

blooming in each of our hearts.

Don't you take that away.

Our dreams are meant to be shared.

Let it grow. Let it live.

Let us see what it will bring.

When we share in our love,

we make a beautiful world.

Search it out, and find the way:

the point where we can all meet.

The point where we're all the same.

There it lies: the future we seek.

Start from there, and then we'll forge

a world where all can be free.

Free to dream, and free to smile.

Free to be who we will be.

Let's make sure we create...

A world of our hopes and dreams.

In our brief lives,

we've managed to meet.

Treasure this gift,

this precious time that we have.

In our brief lives,

we've managed to meet.

Treasure this gift,

this precious time that we have.

Everyone cheered as soon as she was done, her song touching the hearts of all of her friends. It stood for the adventure they all took and the trials they went through. It was a wonderful song that was filled with the love one has for their friends. Of course Harry's adventure in Kalos wasn't done yet. In four days Lumiose City was hosting the Pokémon Showcase Master Class. Three days after that Harry, Shauna, and Grant were all leaving for Kanto to explore the world and of course at the request of Professor Sycamore, deliver the comprehensive Pokédex of Kanto, Johto, Hoehn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos to him so he can upgrade all the Trainers' Pokédexes. Their journey was merely just beginning.

WOW This was insanely long. But hey I managed to get where I wanted to! In the next chapter we'll be doing the Master Class Showcase, catching Zygarde, and then heading to Kanto! The chapters after that may be shortened a lot but that's because It's very hard to do a lot at once with episodes of Anime. Anyways read and review!
