Beginning AN: here it is the next chapter. for this Arc of the story the metaphorical theme song will be Pokemon Johto otherwise known as It's a Whole New World We Live In. in case anyone is wondering why Hogwarts hasn't come calling yet it's because to the knowledge of the Wizarding World their hero is only five years old at the least and six years old at most. only Hela and Dawn would fall in the targeted age requirements for attending Hogwarts at this point in the story. and after thinking about it long and hard I've decided to bring Lily Potter back into the story but here's the catch she's going to be reincarnated as the baby Ralts from the egg that Dawn kept safe in her bag ever since the events of Mewtwo Strikes Back. now on with the story.
Chapter 16: Arrival in Johto and the Violet City Bellsprout Tower challenge
The group made their way into Johto, as Red, Jessie, James, and Meowth tried to catch up with Vulpix and Athena who had run ahead with Hela, Titania, and Dawn riding them as they raced. Eventually however they reached New Bark Town and headed for the Professor, but on the way, they stopped and grew back as the others caught up.
"What's wrong?" Hela asked as Dawn went through her bag.
"Why did you tell me to grow us back?" Titania asked.
"Our child is hatching!" Dawn said removing the egg as it was indeed hatching, much to the others suprise.
"When did you have a child?" The Red asked having not known about the egg when they mentioned clones.
Suddenly the egg hatched into a female Ralts with red helmet hair and green eyes.
"Our daughter is so beautiful." Dawn smiled holding her.
"What should we name her?" Hela asked.
"Lily..." Titania whispered, causing them to look at her, then look at Lily in shock sensing what she could sense, and this was her mother's reincarnation, though she would not remember her past life until she evolved to Kirlia.
"So this is my granddaughter." Red said from a distance as Lily opened her eyes and looked at Dawn.
"Meema, Mommy." Lily said before looking at Titania, "Meema, Momma." She finally looked at Hela. "Meema, Mami."
The first word, Meema, was the pokemon word for parent of any gender, and all parents have that title. The second was what she called the three of them. With a smile they carried on as Dawn quickly captured Lily, having been the one taking care of the egg, even if it was because she was the only one with a bag to carry it, it only made sense that she caught Lily.
They then carried on to Professor Elm's Lab.
"Greetings, are you here to take part in the Gym circuit?" He asked. "You are the current Kanto champion after all."
"Hela is." Titania said, "The rest of us are either travel companions or in the case of me and Dawn, both team mates and coordinators."
"Yes, I had heard about that." Elm agreed as he signed Hela up. "Unfortunately due to an incident the contest circuit is canceled for the season, so you will have to wait until a different contest season to compete. However I can give three of you one of the starter pokemon as an apology."
"I would like a Chikorita." Hela said. "Having a dedicated healer on the team could be useful."
"I just caught Lily and want to focus on her." Dawn said.
"I want to help with that." Titania agreed.
"I want a pokemon with passion." Jessie said.
"Not for us." James and Meowth said thinking about what a pokemon like that would do if it also had Jessie's temper.
"In that case I will take Totodile." Red said. "The closest gym to here is still Falkner right?"
"Yes." Professor Elm said as he gave them the pokemon. "He uses flying type pokemon so be careful."
Hela looked at Athena and smirked. "I think we will be good."
With that they headed out to the first city with a gym.
Along the way they got to know their new pokemon, finding Totodile liked to dance, Cyndaquil was a diva, and Chikorita looked like she was still trying to decide how what she wanted to act like. Red also enjoyed seeing Hela, Titania, Dawn, shrinking down to stuffed doll size so they could cuddle when she slept.
Soon However they made their way to Violet City, deciding to get some extra training at the Bellsprout tower, where they took the Bellsprout Tower challenge, facing the sages Nico, Chow, Edmund, Jin, Neal, Troy, and finally Sage Li using a combined total of 14 Bellsprout and 2 Hoothoot. Red used Totodile, so he could get practice with ice type moves, while Jessie used Cyndaquil, James used Scyther, Titania used Hypno, Dawn used Vulpix, and Hela used Eevee, she would have used Chikorita, but she was focusing on healing moves after learning Hela needed a healer. In the end though they all won, and headed into the main part of violet city for a night's rest before facing the gym leader.
Ending AN: that's the chapter. yeah it's a bit short but it's only the beginning of the Johto Arc. in regards to any questions on why bring Lily Potter back through reincarnation here's my thoughts on the matter. it can be argued that even in canon Lily and James may have been dead and gone they never truly left canon Harry alone in the world since Lily's protection ritual kept Harry from being touched by anyone with evil intentions until the events of Year 4 while James was with Harry every step of the way especially after Year 3 where his Animagus form became Harry's Patronus beast.
Next Time: Hela challenges and defeats Falkner with ease and they go explore the nearby ruins and after that they make their way to the next town with a Gym Leader.
