First of all, once again I am doing another story which has been floating around in my mind, which got further inspired by the fanfictions of the following amazing writers :

Forever United Never We Fall's 'The Greatest There Was or Ever Will Be: Kanto League Journey', vincentgrey21's 'Essence', 's 'A Different Tale of Ash Ketchum', The Straight Elf's 'Traveler'.

If you are a fan of Pokemon, please do read their stories if you haven't read them yet, I assure you they are amazing.

The story I have started writing is heavily influenced by them. Most of the ideas in the first ten or so chapters have been taken from them. A couple of such ideas directly taken from them, with their permission of course (Except from vincentgrey21, I didn't receive any reply from him yet, hopefully he will allow it when he sees my pm else I will take down what I have put in my story if he says so).

And if any of you can find those ideas then congrats you get a digital cookie. (Clues : some Pokemon encounter, some Pokemon caught by MC, encounter with some people, some Pokemon moves, some Pokemon battles and training)

The story is an easy going one, no dark themes whatsoever. Have Harem, Incest and since MC starts at 12 Shotacon as well. And if you didn't pay attention to the description, the story will be a silly one , with hopefully some good story elements. That means no drama, no super duper rivals/villains etc.

Harem candidates for sure are Hermione Granger, Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, Serena, Mallow, Lana and Lillie. (Of course there will be others)

English is not my first language, so there may be a lot of cringe worthy dialogues, mistakes etc. Cliches are all over the story. Updates as is my norm, will take a long time, like months and months long. If you don't like these factors don't read it, plain and simple.

For those who still decide to read my story, THANK YOU!

Special thanks to Storm Fury for editing this chapter, seriously thank you dude.

Please read & review, any and all criticism, ideas are welcome as I know I will be making a lot of mistakes (Especially will Pokemon facts).

Chapter 1

Red maple leaves were dancing around in the Autumn wind that twirled around the beautiful town of Pallet. The vast green fields, the quiet ambience and rolling hills created a mesmerising scenery that would make anyone stop and enjoy the beauty of nature. In a corner of the town, near a white picket fenced house, under the shade of a tree, a boy of roughly twelve years old was sitting, enjoying a book in the pleasant climate.

"Harry, come inside. Lunch is ready", a sweet and caring voice called out through the window of the simple house adorned in a pleasing light white and red coloured paint.

"Coming Mom", replied the soon to be twelve-year-old Ashton Harry Ketchum. He was enjoying a book on Pokémon and Battle styles when his mother called him for lunch. In the eyes of everyone Harry may be a barely twelve-year-old boy, but inside, he was much older.

Harry remembers his past life, where he was Harry James Potter, the boy who lived, wizard and the one who ended the reign of terror caused by one of the most terrible Dark Lord who called himself Voldemort. From being an underfed orphan, a glorified celebrity, being called a liar and finally the chosen one, Harry has been through a lot in his past life, which has made him more mature than his young age in his current life would have suggested.

His previous eighteen years of life, experienced many tumultuous events, all of which, single handily lead him to defeat the villain that so haunted his life, while losing his life along the way of said achievement. He didn't have much friends or people who genuinely loved him in his past life, other than Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Fred & George Weasley and Sirius Black, everybody else was an opportunist at best and backstabbers at worst.

During the final moments of his death, Harry was amused by the thought of Draco Malfoy and Voldemort being better than his so-called friends, as at least they were open in their hatred of him.

All things aside, it no longer matters now as Harry, instead of meeting his loved ones upon his death, has somehow been born in a new world. A world filled with creatures called Pokémon, which is short for Pocket Monster. A world where people and Pokémon travelled and trained together, a world so filled with love and hope that the more Harry learned about it the more he has come to enjoy it, even more so than his previous magical one.

Entering the house, Harry was greeted by his mother, a short woman with a kind benevolent grace, one who exudes warmth from her very being. Delia Ketchum was a woman who had brown hair done in a short ponytail, having a height of five foot five inches, and wore a yellow blouse, with a pink overcoat and a dark blue knee length skirt. Seeing Harry, Delia promptly gave him a tight hug and led him to the dining table to partake in Lunch, during which they talked about all things related to Pokémon, mainly Harry asking about his mother's experience and picking her knowledge on the said topic, which may not have been much since she only travelled around and didn't take part in any type of competition.

"So, Harry, are you excited about getting your first Pokémon?", Delia asked as she put away the utensils with Harry helping her along.

"Yeah, can't wait for tomorrow to come mom, though I still haven't decided which Pokémon to choose, Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur. Probably not Bulbasaur since Mione always wanted to have one."

"I am glad you are putting your friends wishes before yours Harry. And I am sure Mione would be very pleased with your decision. Well whichever Pokémon you choose, take care of him or her. All Pokémon are wonderful in their own right." Delia replied with a smile.

"You are right mom and I won't hurt Mione you know that mom. Still, I can't help but wonder." Harry said with a full-blown grin.

"And you do remember what I taught you about camping, taking care of Pokémon and other things, don't you?"

"Of course, mom, and I also remember all the classes I had with Professor Oak about being a Pokémon trainer as well." Harry replied making Delia smile.

"Good boy. Now then you better go and make sure that everything you need on your journey is done packed up."

"Yeah sure thing Mom. And thanks for teaching me a lot mom", Harry said while giving his mother a hug. After which Harry ran up the stairs to his room, to make sure he was ready for his journey tomorrow.

One thing Harry could say about the two worlds he had experienced, the magical world and the Pokémon world, is that both were fantastic in their own way. The Magical world, well it was magical, wizards and witches, goblins, house elves, centaurs, unicorns, dragons, and so much more. But it was a world marred by arrogance, hatred, wanton destruction, greed and unfaithfulness. The Pokémon world on the other hand was fantastic, even more so than the Magical world with just the presence of Pokémon in it, but the people here have many advanced technologies that put even magic to shame, along with how kind, helpful and loyal most of the people in this world seemed to be, Harry truly considered this world to be his gift for what he went through in his old life.

Among the various technologies, Harry was utilising one such tech, which always made him admire the ingenuity and skill of the people of this world. Harry was currently packing up for his Pokémon journey, he had a standard edition league travelling bag which he was packing up with various items like sleeping bag, a small tent, various Pokémon food, utensils, travel gear like rope, knife, etc and the usual clothes and other miscellaneous things. What is wonderful about this bag is that even with all the things put inside, along with having more space after doing so, it remained the same size of a school bag. The shrinking technology, which was perfected for the Poke balls, had been used in the creation of the bag, making it so that the bag contains a very large space inside as well as keeping the things put inside in their shrunken form. Even a small tent can be shrunk to the size of a match box, which made it easier to carry around as well as to set it up as and when needed.

After carefully packing everything up and double checking everything, Harry was just about to hit the TV on the latest Pokémon league battles when his mom called him down for dinner. A dinner once again filled with laughter, excited talks and wide discussions on anything and everything related to Pokémon. Overall it was a typical day in the Ketchum household, albeit one that was filled with anticipation of what would come tomorrow.

It was a busy morning in the Ketchum residence as Harry got ready to go to Professor Oak's laboratory for getting his first Pokémon. Delia fussed around Harry like a bedraggled mother hen, while Harry allowed her to do so, enjoying her care and warmth and making him feel the utmost of love in response to her actions. He loved his mother very much, having never experienced his mother's love in the past life, Delia Ketchum for Harry was an Angel, an angel he would cherish with all he had. After a couple of more fussing, Delia let Harry go with a reminder,

"Come back home and show me the Pokémon you choose, before you start out on your journey Harry."

"Sure thing Mom, just wait for it and I will be back with my very own Pokémon and first partner."

Harry wore light blue pants, league issued adventure shoes, black gloves, black t-shirt with a blue jacket over it and a hat that had a league symbol on it, to keep his untameable hair under check. The hair making Harry always wonder whether the Potter Hair came along with him on his new life. Starting up on a light jog, Harry easily reached the laboratory in but a few minutes, which was situated on a small hill in the centre of small time Pallet Town.

The light jog was only a warm-up for Harry, who have been doing various rigorous exercises to keep himself fit and healthy. Knowing about his journey that would come as well as the experience of his past life drew him to excel at it. For a twelve-year-old, Harry was taller at nearly five foot four inches, with not a shred of baby fat visible on his face or body. He had an angular face with well-cut jaws and a bright pair of brown eyes, which he inherited from his mother and a messy black hair.

Throughout the light jog towards Professor Oak's lab, Harry remembered all the extra training he put in, in order to be the best in what he hoped to be, a Pokémon Master. After learning from his mother at the age of seven about what it meant to be a Pokémon trainer, the different league regions, Harry started to work out so as to improve his physique as he knew it will help him in both his journey as well as in instilling a good work ethic. Along with that, he read through everything he could regarding Pokémon, learning cooking and camping from his mother, watching the various battles in the TV in order to come up with a style of his own, and how to take care of his Pokémon from the classes by Professor Oak. Thoughts of Professor Oak's classes brought a warm smile to his face as he remembered meeting his better half, the girl who seems to be always there for him, no matter the time or place, and even across worlds as it turned out to be the case.

Upon reaching the laboratory entrance, Harry was suddenly tackle hugged tightly by a smaller body, who squealed sharply, "Harry". Even with the abruptness of the tackle hug, Harry easily returned the hug with a small joyful laugh and twirled the small body pressed to him around. After letting the smaller person down, Harry lightly kissed her temples.

"Good to see you to Mione", Harry murmured with a tenderness and love that was beyond his twelve-year-old psyche.

The small girl, who tackled hug Harry, was twelve years old, the same age as him. She had messy brown hair and chocolate coloured eyes, standing at five foot two inches was Mione Strauss, Harry's best friend and lover in both his past life as well as in this new one. Mione Strauss was Hermione Granger from his life as Harry Potter and just like him, had retained her memories of past life. They met in this new world when their parents sent them to Professor Oak's laboratory to learn about being a Pokémon trainer. Emma Strauss, Mione's mother was a close friend of Delia as well. Mione knew Harry the moment she saw him, and thus once again began the tackle hug tradition that both enjoyed very much.

"Are you excited about our new journey Mione?" Harry asked while holding her close. Looking at her closely, Harry noticed that she has done her hair in a neat ponytail. Mione wore tight black shorts that emphasised her budding curves, along with a black halter top, with a pink sweatshirt over it.

"As long as there aren't a bunch of people wearing skull masks with weird gang names chasing after us", Mione teased.

"Hey that was the old boring world. Nothing like that happens here. Besides are you telling me you're not the least bit excited at the prospect of having your very first Pokémon?" Harry countered with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course, I am, I studied for so long about all the Pokémon, their types, their habitats, their weaknesses, what moves they can learn...mhm", Mione was cut short as Harry kissed her on the lips which Mione gladly reciprocated. Kissing until they couldn't hold their breath anymore, they released their tightly sealed lips for taking a breath, both held each other close, relishing in the love and warmth brought by the presence of one another. Harry murmured along with his shallow breaths, "Never change Mione". After basking in their closeness some more, both Harry and Mione decided to enter the lab and wait for professor Oak to give them their first Pokémon.

Inside the big lab, adorned with clean tiled floors and various types of equipment, two boys of twelve years of age stood leaning on opposite walls glaring at each other.

"It looks like Red and Gary are at each other's throats" Harry said with a sigh.

"Meh, I think they are frenemies at best" Mione replied as both of them were used to the quarrels of the said boys who each wanted to be considered the best Pokémon trainer than the other. A rivalry that started the moment they met each other in professor Oak's class.

Shaking his head, Harry called out to both boys in greeting, "Red, Gary," who in return gave a nod towards the duo and then continued their staring contest.

"Oh well, let's leave them to their staring contest and wait for professor Oak. Look we will take those benches", Harry led Mione to the benches situated on the side of the room.

After waiting for an hour, Gary got irritated and yelled out loudly causing everyone in the room to flinch at the loud sound, as it caused their ears to ring, "Oye Gramps, come out and give us our Pokémon."

A loud crash could be heard from inside, followed by more shuffling noises. Both Harry and Mione looked at each other with the same thought in mind, 'He couldn't have fallen asleep right?'.

After a minute or two, a man with greying hair along the sides of his brown hair came out from inside the lab. He wore brown shirt and grey pants, with a white lab coat. This was the acclaimed Professor Oak, whose expertise in Pokémon is renowned throughout the entire regions of the Pokémon world.

Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, Oak gave a kind smile towards the kids waiting for him in the lounge.

"Come on inside, I was just setting things up for you guys"

"You fell asleep, didn't you?", accused Gary who dismantled his Grandfather's subtle attempt at a cover up.

"Oh, my look at the time, come on hurry up and see which Pokémon awaits you", Oak quickly switched topics while ignoring his grandson and led them all inside where three Poke balls waited for them in all their glory.

Getting inside, Harry quickly realised the problem, which he soon pointed out to the professor, "But prof. Oak, there is only three Poke balls and four of us."

Professor Oak was in the process of handing out the Pokedexes to the new trainers, as it functioned as both Trainer ID, which detailed all the information of their journey including all the Pokémon they have ever caught and even seen, as well as a complete Pokémon encyclopaedia, having information on all the Pokémon in the Kanto region, which included their type, evolution chart, moves possible by them along with sample videos of how said moves are done by that specific Pokémon and more.

"Oh right, I forgot. Not to worry kids I have other Pokémon here around the lab that is sure to be suitable for beginners like you. It's just that one of you have to wait a bit more for me to get it" Oak said apologetically as he finished handing out the Pokedexes.

"No way I am waiting" Gary said as soon as their Pokedexes were registered, as he quickly grabbed Squirtle's Poke ball. While heading out he commented to the others in the room, "Smell ya later losers", in his usual arrogant tune. Red hesitated a bit, and being goaded by Gary's comment, decided to not wait and grabbed Charmander, as ultimately, he didn't want to be left behind by Gary. Red too headed out of the lab quickly as well, just as impatient as Gary so as to start his journey quickly, and not to be out done by his rival.

Harry and Mione looked at each other, neither caring about the actions of the other two boys. Harry nudged Mione forward, "You wanted a Bulbasaur, Mione. Take it, I can wait a bit more."

Mione nodded her head as by now she knew Harry very well and decided to accept his choice and wait along with him for Professor Oak to give Harry a Pokémon.

"Sorry about that Harry, wait just a moment and I will see what Pokémon I have that is suitable for you." Oak apologized once more to Harry and headed outside his lab to the Pokémon ranch behind the lab to find Harry a Pokémon.

While waiting for the professor, Harry once again nudged Mione saying, "Why don't you let Bulbasaur out of the Poke ball and get to familiarise?"

Mione agreed with Harry and quickly called out her Pokémon. A cute little Pokémon with green coloured body, and a green bulb on its back, which looked like a closed flower bloom, came out giving a cute grunt of "bulbasaur". The Pokémon tilted her head as Mione started petting her while reading the information from the pokedex prof. Oak gave the four kids, the pokedex identifying the Pokémon as female.

"Who's a good Bulbasaur, that's right you are. Hello Bulbasaur my name is Mione and we are going to be partners from now on. And this is Ashton Harry Ketchum or Harry for short, my best friend and lover. We'll be traveling together. We are currently waiting for professor Oak to get Harry his Pokémon as well." Bulbasaur excitedly rubbed her head against Mione's hand and agreed to whatever her trainer said. Harry also greeted Bulbasaur and started playing with her along with Mione.

It didn't take long for professor Oak to come back inside with a Poke ball that had a lightning bolt sticker on it. Handing the ball to Harry, prof. Oak said, "I found him gnawing at the electrical wiring outside my lab a couple of weeks ago. Had to catch him before he caused a problem. He is a bit temperamental but I believe you can handle him Harry. Go on, see the Pokémon for yourself."

With a nod, Harry called out the Pokémon, who turned out to be a Pikachu who immediately tensed upon seeing strangers. The bright yellow Pokémon stood on all fours, his ears pointed back, waiting to attack any who crossed him. Seeing the tensed Pikachu, Harry crouched down to Pikachu's level and slowly extended his hand towards the Pokémon.

"Hey there buddy, my name is Ashton Harry Ketchum. I am going to start a journey to be the best Pokémon trainer there is. What do you say? Do you want to come with me? Together we can get strong and you will have lots to eat as well." Harry stated slowly while holding some Pokémon food in his hand, which he took out from his bag. Pikachu tensed slightly when Harry extended his hand, but relaxed after hearing what Harry had said. Pikachu stood on two and got into a thinking pose, then slowly sniffed the Pokémon food, finding it to his liking, gobbled it up. After finishing it up, Pikachu ran across Harry's hand, finally coming to rest on his shoulder and give the boy an affectionate rub on his cheeks, making Harry laugh out loud in delight. "Pika, pika, Pikachu"

"Thanks for choosing me buddy, I promise we will have a blast. Now you already know professor Oak. So this is my best friend and lover Mione and her Pokémon Bulbasaur, who will be traveling with us" said Harry pointing towards each one present in the room, they in turn greeted Pikachu back. Turning back to Professor Oak, both Harry and Mione thanked him. To which Oak replied how delighted he was to have such wonderful trainers and gave his congratulations to Harry on befriending Pikachu before they eventually left the lab.

Mione called Bulbasaur back into her Poke ball. Harry doing the same with his Pikachu. Both Harry and Mione had already packed for their journey and all that was left was to visit their parents, showing them their very own Pokémon and then be off on their journey. Both Emma and Delia were waiting at the Ketchum residence for their kids to visit them, who upon the arrival of said kids, started fussing over both them and their Pokémon, embarrassing the kids while their Pokémon Bulbasaur and Pikachu enjoyed the attention, before once again eventually letting them start on their journey.

Holding hands, Harry and Mione reached the small hillside outside Pallet Town, where route 1 started. Taking a look back at their home town, both smiled towards each other, then turned and entered the forest path of route 1.
