--------------------Ch. 2 A Trip To London PokeShop----------------------
"Harry?" Hermione asked later that night when Harry called her. "How did the Dursleys ever let you use the phone?"
"Oh, I have my ways," Harry replied as he watched Teddiursa kept the Dursleys in a corner, growling at them.
"Hermione," Harry asked, "do you know anything about 'Pokemon'? I Found one in the park and I need some advice on how to care for it."
"Sure I do!" his friend replied. "Pokemon have been living in England for hundreds of years and until recently, they were never discovered until someone in Japan found a 'Pikachu' and became famous. Soon more Pokemon were discovered and scientists found them here. If you go to London, you'll see a new and popular shop there. Ask if you can come and meet me tomorrow. I'll send a letter to Ron."
"Could I go meet Herm-?" Harry started to ask.
"Yes! YES!" Vernon replied. "Do what ever want! Just tell this thing not to hurt us please!"
The next day, Harry met Ron and Hermione in London.
"Harry!" Ron greeted. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," Harry replied, "and this is the 'Pokemon' I found in the park. It's called a 'Teddiursa.' It reminds me so much of myself because we both have marks on our foreheads, loathe the Dursleys, and were separated from our original families."
"Teddiursa disliked the Dursleys?" Ron asked. "How did it show its hatred? Biting?"
"No," Harry replied, "it threatens them with its claws and growls at them."
"Awww..." Hermione sighed, "it's so cute!"
Teddiursa was currently chasing and pawing playfully at a butterfly while it giggled in delight.
"So where is the Pokemon shop?" Harry asked.
"Follow me," Hermione replied.
When they got there, Harry saw the biggest store he had ever seen outside of Diagon Alley.
"Here we are," Hermione stated.
"It's huge !" Ron exclaimed.
Inside they went and they saw a young woman behind the counter.
"Welcome!" she greeted. "Please come in. May I help you?"
"Well," Harry answered, "I have a few."
He then picked up Teddiursa and placed it on the counter.
"How do I take care of this? And can you tell me more about it?"
"Well, you have a Teddiursa, which is also know as the Little Bear Pokemon, and it seems to be in good shape. From what I can tell, yours is a male and is very well trained for a Pokemon its age. I'll give you everything you need to care for it and as a bonus, I'll throw in a Pokedex, and six Pokeballs all for free."
"Wow! Thank you," Harry gasped as the lady gave him several items for free.
"No problem," she replied. "From what I can tell, this is your first Pokemon and wouldn't have enough money to buy all these supplies."
Hermione bought 12 Pokeballs and gave Ron half since he had no Muggle money.
"Now we can all catch more Pokemon," she explained.
Outside, Harry, Teddiursa, and friends were walking past the park when something moved inside the bushes. Teddiursa went over and a cute little Jigglypuff. It looked at Ron, then Harry, and finally Hermione.
It then walked towards Hermione.
"Well, hello," she said pleasantly.
Jigglypuff smiled and pointed to a Pokeball.
"You want me to catch you?" she asked.
Jigglypuff nodded.
"Okay. Here we go!" Hermione exclaimed. She threw one Pokeball and caught Jigglypuff.
Ron was now sad and disappointed. He was the only one of his friends without a Pokemon.
"Cheer up, Ron," Harry said to his friend. "Hermione and I will help you catch a Pokemon."
A Mankey came along looking for food.
"I want that one." Ron stated as he pointed to it.
Harry looked at his Pokedex and said, "I don't think you would want one of those."
"Why not?" asked Ron.
"It has a very bad temper," Hermione explained.
Then an Oddish came along.
"How about that one?" Ron asked. "I like it."
"That's a good choice," Harry replied.
So Ron threw a Pokeball and caught the Oddish. He decided to call it 'Leafy.'
Later that day, Harry gave his Pokemon some delicious honey. It made a mess eating it and became all sticky and needed a bath but as Teddiursa ate the treat, Harry noticed that its moon shaped mark began to glow.
"My scar also reacts when ever Voldemort is near by or is very upset," Harry stated. "We have so much in common. I think we were meant for each other."
Teddiursa happily nodded as it licked up its honey.
