When Heirvean's eyes flickered open he found himself, not in a nest of moss, but an actual bed. Getting up, he checked himself over. All of his bruises had been bandaged and he was dressed in a overly large sleep shirt. His ears caught the sound of voices coming from the next room and he slunk over the door to listen.

"Ri, he's clearly been abused."

"He's not ours, Taka."

"I don't care. I refuse to let him go back to that abusive family." The voice had darkened, ending in almost a hiss. There was silence for a few seconds.

"Why don't we just ask the boy? Come in, little one." Heirvean froze, but slid the door open sheepishly.

The dark haired male smiled. "Don't worry little one, you're not in trouble. I am Ashitakia, and this is Mori-ō. Ri and Taka are fine if you don't feel up to sounding out our names."

"Where am I?" Heirvean glanced around. The home was nice, warm and cozy. Right now he wanted nothing more than to eat and go back to the bed that he had woken up in. He was tired.

"Our home. Child..." Mori-ō began but paused. "Would you like to become ours?"

"Naah?" Heirvean stared at him even as Ashitakia dragged his hand down his face.

"He's asking you if you would like to become our child."

"Really?"

"Yes. You would be our son."

"Yes."

THREE YEARS LATER:

"Happy birthday Reiōji. Today you're eight." Reiōji glanced around the room at his friends. Currently they were in his home in the forest, sitting around the table. Draco, Neville, Seamus, Cedric, Luna, Hermione, Blaise, George, and Fred were sitting around the table. Charlie and Bill, Fred and George's older brothers, hadn't been able to get away from work so they hadn't been able to come. His father seemed to always make himself scarce when Reiōji's friends came over, so none of them had ever met him.

Last year, Ashitakia had taken Reiōji to England and they'd all met while exploring the city of London. Now they were a little family and often could be found with the others. Their preferred haunt was Reiōji's home in the forest, mainly because there was a lot of space and no one to bother them.

Ashitakia spoke up again. "Since you're now eight, we're going to take a trip to Professor Oak and get your Pokédex and everything you'll need for Hogwarts." The others cheered.

"Wanna come with?" There was silence.

"What am I going to tell my parents?" Draco spoke up first, then the conversation quickly dissolved into pandemonium.

"Draco, tell them you're going on a trip. Neville, Cedric, and Blaise, do the same. Fred, George, you can tell your mom that you're going to be with your brothers, and they'll tell their bosses what's going on. Then they can come with us. Hermione, you can tell your mom that you're going to a camp. Luna, you're mom has probably already seen this, so we don't really have to bother..."

"Of course Reiōji." She giggled in her odd way before turning to look out the window, a dazed gleam starting to cross over her eyes. Reiōji smiled softly, he had the best family ever.

oOo

Professor Oak was a tall man, easily reaching six feet. He towered above the little ones, but the friendly smile on his face removed all concerns the moment the children saw him. Oak's lips twisted into a smile the moment the group came into view. "Good morning." He greeted.

Reiōji snorted under his breath. "It's not good. Mornings are never good. The correct greeting is 'Morning.'" Draco had started snickering halfway through his speech and when he was done, Reiōji had turned to Professor Oak. "Morning, Professor Oak."

The professor smiled wider. "An amusing little one, isn't he?" He turned towards the two adults. "Now, let's get down to business. Who are you and what do you need with me?"

Ashitakia took a step forward. "My name is Morias Ashitakia." He pulled Reiōji closer to his side. "This is my son, Reiōji, and my mate Mori-ō. The other little ones are Draco Malfoy," The blonde nodded politely, "Neville Longbottom, Fred and George Weasely,"

"Call us Gred and Forge." The twins interrupted, earning a glare from Ashitakia.

"The two girls are Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood while the older redheads are Charlie and William Weasely. The last three are Seamus Finnigan, Cedric Diggary and Blaise Zambini." Each child waved, curtsied, or nodded when their name was called.

Reiōji chirped up. "Some of us are here for our first Pokémon and Dex!"

"And the others?" Oak asked.

"Already have it."

"Ah. Well then, come with me." With those words, Professor Oak stepped through the doors to his lab and moved quickly towards the back. "This way. We'll find your eggs first." He smiled and threw the door open calling out a 'Ta da!' at the same time. There were gasps from the younger group who hadn't seen this before.

"Wow!" Reiōji was the first to recover. "This is amazing!" And it was. There were eggs everywhere.

"They're sorted by their type. Any that are unknown are in another area. Anyone want to see those?"

"I do." Draco spoke up and Reiōji nodded from beside the blonde.

"Well then." Oak began, "Follow me." He turned around and began making his way through the sea of Pokémon eggs towards a separate room that the others hadn't noticed before. Passing through the doorway they were met by another group of eggs. These ones were odd looking. Certainly nothing that the others had seen before. Oak spoke up. "These eggs are from the region of Kalos. It's a fairly new area with a new species of Pokémon, which is why the eggs from that region are here. We have yet to determine which egg has which species of Pokémon inside of it. Choose whichever one you want, but be warned that we don't exactly know what's inside of it. Come back when its hatched so we can make a note about the Pokémon inside." The children nodded and began making their way through the small lake of eggs, listening carefully for the one that fit best with their aura.

It wasn't odd at all that Draco found his egg first. The egg itself though, was odd. It was a light blue on the top. Almost the color of the sky with a brownish mountain reaching up from underneath. The bottom half of the egg was purple with lines slashing their way across from side to side. Reiōji wouldn't be surprised it it ended up being a Dragon type Pokemon. Draco was obsessed with them.

The wiggle of an egg from the corner of his eye caught Reiōji's attention. It had a tan top with a dark blue middle and a light blue bottom. The two blues sort of swirled together in the shape of waves on the exact center. Reiōji carefully picked it up and brought it over to the professor. "Can I have this one?" The professor nodded and the whitette's face lit up into a smile. "Thanks!" He cried and hurried over to his parents to show them his new egg.

Ashitakia looked at it thoughtfully. "I've never seen this one before. Well then. We'll just have to wait and find out what the egg is when it hatches. You up to the challenge?" Reiōji nodded quickly. "Go show your friends. I'm sure they'll be curious too."

Hermione found hers next. The egg started with a small circle of white on the bottom. It then shifted to a light blue with diamond shapes around the center of the blue. She ran her fingers over them and felt the actual protrusions that came out of the egg. The top of the egg was what had originally caught her eye. It started as a yellow that danced with the blue in little waves and slowly grew pinker until it was a light pink at the top. She picked it up and moved over to where Draco and Reiōji were sitting, obviously looking at the others egg. She carefully set it down with theirs and flopped down beside them. "Like mine?"

Reiōji stared at it for a few seconds. "I really like the colors." He giggled. "We've been guessing what type our egg will end up as. I think yours is Ice."

Hermione hummed thoughtfully. "The color scheme does fit." They were interrupted by Blaise hurrying over.

"Hey guys! I found my egg." He set it down to let the others get a good look at it. The top of the egg was a small circle of orange that was surround by a thick layer of green. The next layer was red that zigzagged with both the green and the layer of white below that. The bottom was a thin sliver of yellow and the others blinked slowly. Blaise smirked. "I also found a second egg. My aura reacted with both, so Professor Oak let me have both of them." The other egg was covered in white on the entire top half with several black ovals in the middle of the white. The bottom half was half black and half gray, the two colors making arches dance across the bottom of the egg.

Hermione frowned slowly. "Fighting." She declared suddenly. Reiōji nodded slowly.

"Yeah, that's the feeling I get from them too." A shadow fell over the group of three and they all glanced up. Cedric and Seamus were leaning over them, each one carrying an egg.

Cedric's had a black circle covering the top that clashed completely with the orange body. Like Blaise's second egg, his had ovals covering the middle, except they were red instead of black. The bottom of his egg was a pale cream color. 'Electric' Reiōji decided. After all, it did have to match with the team that he already had.

Seamus' egg on the other hand had a yellow top, a red middle, a grayish bottom and a thin sliver of black covering the exact bottom of the egg. The guesses for this egg were all over the place, though Draco was adamant that it would be a Fire type. Reiōji was inclined to agree with the blonde.

Luna danced gracefully over, an egg cradled carefully in her arms. With a pink top, A shiny gem-like middle, and a pinkish bottom, the others were quick to agree that this egg was most likely a part of the new Fairy typing. Luna just hummed happily and rubbed her egg softly.

The small group that had gathered watched the others look for their eggs. Charlie, or Harley as they liked to call him, picked up a pink topped egg with a gray middle and a pink bottom that transformed into gray on the exact bottom. The gray middle was studded with black keyholes. He smiled softly and made his way over to their group before sitting down beside them. Reiōji glanced around worriedly. Neville, Fred, George, and Bill still hadn't found an egg that worked with their aura.

Professor Oak sighed. "Perhaps you can check out the other areas?"

Neville nodded and let his aura lead him to an area marked with the sign for Poison. There, standing in the center of the area, he picked up a blue and purple egg. There was a soft screeching noise when it was picked up, but it soon settled down. He dropped down to sit with the others.

"Poison, huh?" Draco spoke up. "It suits you." He said thoughtfully. "You're really good in Herbology."

George soon found them. He carefully placed his egg with the others in the group and settled down on the floor. The egg itself was half blue and half red with many green feathers sticking out of the middle. Absent mindedly, Reiōji commented that it looked extremely old. The others nodded. Fred sat down soon after with his egg. The egg was brown with an odd red pattern slicing through the middle. There was an odd power coming from it. Fred confessed that the power was what had drawn him to the egg in the first place. The others laughed.

"Good to see you're all having fun." Bill commented as he came over, placing an egg with the others. It was a dark blue color with a yellow beak-like mark on the front. This was obviously a Flying type egg and the group laughed.

Ashitakia moved from where he was standing by the wall. "Does everyone have their egg?" There was a chorus of 'Yes's and the male nodded happily. "Alright, we're heading home after we get a Pokédex for everyone."

Professor Oak stood by the door and watched as they left. They were an odd group, yes. An odd group, but there was something about them that drew his attention. All of them would be strong Trainers someday. All of them. Even the one who had chosen a Zubat. "Because you see," Oak mused out loud, "With enough love, Zubat becomes Crobat."
