Alright, everyone ready to go?" Harry asked his pokemon.

Harry and his pokemon had just finished having breakfast. It was still early in the morning, only 5:45AM; the cafeteria in the pokemon centers dining area wasn't open yet so Harry had had to make breakfast himself in one of the center's public kitchenettes. He had woken up early, something he usually did, and after breakfast he was planing on getting back on the road.

"Syl!"

"Ral!"

"Ty!"

"Mur!" Each one of his Pokemon responded back, enthusiastically. They were all well rested and well fed on their trainers unsurpassable cooking skills and all raring to go.

Taking out three pokéballs Harry called back Ralts, Tyrunt and Murkrow, leaving Sylveon out like he normally did. Immediately the fairy-type walked up besides him and wrapped its ribbon around his wrist. Together they walked out of Harry's rented room and made their way down toward the front lobby. As he walked in he seen Nurse Joy behind the counter typing on the computer.

The pink haired woman looked up, a bit surprised for a moment when he walked in. The normally chipper woman smiled politely at him. "Oh, good morning. You're up early today." She stated as Harry walked up to a small machine by the front desk.

"I'm normally up this early actually." Harry told her politely. Inwardly he was wondering how she was up this early. Harry was normally a very early riser, so much so that he was normally up before any of the other staff workers at any of the other pokemon centers he's stayed at. However no matter how early he woke up or how late he was comeing in, he had never been in a pokemon center when a Nurse Joy wasn't up and working. "I just wanted to get back out on the road as soon as possible. Oreburgh city is only a few hours away right?" He asked, as he inserted his pokedex into the centers identification record system and checking out of the center.

"Yes, that's right. It should be about a 5 to 6 hour walk from here." She informed him. "Good bye, we hope to see you again," she told him, the same kind smile he was used to seeing on her face whenever he seen her. (it was easier to think of them as a single identity). Giving a quick nod and "good bye", Harry turned and started heading for the exit before he stopped, suddenly remembering something and walking back up to the front desk.

"Excuse me, there's a trainer with a Pikachu named Ash, staying here with two friends. If you see him can you please tell him that I left and that we'll have a battle when we see each other again?"

"Of course, I'll make sure to pass along the message." She says, the smile never faltering from her face.

With one last thanks to the woman, Harry walked out the centers from door, heading down route 203.

Sinnoh Rregion - Sandgem Town - Research Lab

Pokemon Professor Bradley Rowan was sitting in his office going over a few keynotes on a research paper he was about to publish about the evolutionary similarities and differences between Starly and Staraptor. The paper itself all seemed to be in perfect order, hitting on all of the key points he wanted to make with plenty of layman terms to ensure that even a school student would be able to understand the points he was trying to make.

Setting down the paper he let out a relieved sigh. It was only the beginning of the day and he still had so much to do around the laboratory , off in the distance he could hear the sound of shoes hitting marble floor as his assistants went about getting ready for the day. Feeding the Pokemon in the research lab, starting up lab equipment, and cataloging the daily progression of long-term projects. Not to mention the more mundane task of the day such as cleaning up the hallways and making breakfast for the other staff members. Bradley honestly thought that his staff had gotten a little too used to Harry being around to do most of the cooking and cleaning around the laboratory that they were having a hard time adjusting back to doing it themselves.

Now thinking about the young man who had been in his charge for the previous few months had him looking over to two pictures that were on top of one of his file cabinets. One was of a smiling Harry and Sylveon; Harry was sitting on his knees, his arms around Sylveon, who was on its hind legs with its front paws on Harry's chest as it wrapped its ribbons around him. The picture was taken just a few days after Sylveon had evolved. The second picture was taken the day Harry had set out on his journey, the picture was of himself and his assistants standing with Harry outside the lab, with Sylveon and Tyrunt standing on either side of Harry.

Reaching over he picked up the first photo and brought it close to him with a smile.

For most of his life Bradley Rowan had dedicated himself to his work and accomplishing his goals. From when he was still just a boy setting out on his journey, aiming to compete in the Sinnoh League, a goal that he accomplished though he didn't win. From there he made his way through the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Orange Island Leagues, continuing on his path as a pokemon trainer, his passion for the unique creatures that inhabited his world growing along with his want to learn more about them. At age 20 he had decided to become a researcher and started traveling around on his own trying to learn more and more about the different pokemon of the world on his own, before comeing to work under the esteemed pokemon professor Holly alongside another young man, Samuel Oak.

The two young men had become friends and by the time the two were done with their work and training under Professor Holly and left, being fully qualified professors in their own rights the two had stayed in contact. Both he and his friend we're currently some of the most well-known professors on their side of the planet and we're both recognized as the top researchers in each of their respective regions .Though while Bradley stayed steadfast and focused on his desire of learning as much about pokemon and passing the knowledge on to the world, Samuel had along the way found time for a wife , Bradley being one of his groomsmen at his wedding, and children and eventually in time grandchildren.

Bradley had never truly regretted his decisions in life to stay focused mainly on work and never stopping to entertain the idea of romance or a family life. In his youth he had been very handsome, that combined with his cold mysterious energy and kind-hearted personality had caught the attention of many young ladies, but he had always felt he was too busy to try and pursue any sort of romantic relationship that might distract him from his goals. It may have been a bit of a sacrifice on his part, choosing work and solitude over love and companionship but overall he was happy with how his life had turned out. He had mentored many other scholars in his time, made several breakthroughs in pokemon research and had had a hand in helping to further move along the understanding between people and pokemon.

However one of the most rewarding accomplishments that he felt he had achieved was taking in and helping that green eyed boy from another world.

Bradley had mentored many youngsters in his time, coming in to speak to classes from elementary school to esteemed universities for pokemon studies. He had even been sought out by several very promising students, one 18 year old Augustine Sycamore, the current leading Pokemon professor of the Kalos region, had immigrated all the way from his home region on the other side of the planet just for the chance to become his student. Although he always felt a connection to his students and always wanted to see them succeed , he had never felt the type of paternal or grandfatherly affection he felt for Harry. With Harry he didn't just want to see him succeed, more than that he wanted to see Harry happy.

Whether his feelings came from his inner regret at not having children of his own or from what he knew about Harry's past he couldn't say. But he knew that no matter what, he would try and be there for Harry any time he needed help or support and do his damndest to try and make sure that Harry had a happy life now.

He still remembered when he found out just how severe Harry's situation had been.

It had been a little bit over a week after Harry had found Eevee in the lab and started helping out at the pokemon center.

Harry had seem to be starting to adjust to his new routine around the lab and in the pokemon world, the fact that Harry came from a world without pokemon still astounded Bradley sometimes, but as he settled into the schedule he seemed to be withdrawing into himself as well. Bradley had noticed that despite the fact that Harry always woke up fairly early he seemed to be waking up earlier and earlier, and looking like he'd been getting less and less sleep. Bradley had started making it a point to check in on Harry through the night, and though he would always find him asleep he was always tossing and turning, never seeming to be able to get a restful night sleep.

When he had approached Harry about it the boy had waved it off and told him it was nothing and that he'd been having sleep problems since before he'd come from his own world. He'd also been very shocked to learn that Bradley had been checking up on him at night, or even notice that something was wrong. Since Harry wasn't willing to come forward with whatever was bothering him and clearly seem to be getting less and less sleep Bradley had had his assistants cut back on Harry's lessons around noon and told them to encourage Harry to try and nap or rest for a bit. While he couldn't make Harry come to him with his problems he could at least do his best to try and make sure the boy was a bit more well-rested, having him go through days of studying and helping out in the laboratory on 3 to 4 hours, at best, of restless sleep couldn't be good for the boy. It was all he could do until he learned whatever it was that was bothering Harry, and if it was something he could actually help him with.

A few nights later he had learned a significant bit more about Harry's past, and what had been upsetting him.

Bradley had been awake doing some studies on the sleeping patterns of Zubat, Golbat and Crobat. The poison/flying-type had been flying around normally, in the domed roof area of the laboratory that was used for pokemon under observation. Then all of a sudden they began flapping around and screeching, like they were all suddenly under attack or in pain. Although the strange, albeit lucky, thing was that they weren't using their moves or even attacking at all, just sort of swarming and crying out. However, with the confined area of the habitat they were in the Zubat Golbat and Crobat we're all knocking around into each other. Luckily Bradley had been working with Yuzo with him at the time and they had been able to open the roof and let the bat pokemon out before any of them were seriously however a few of the Zubat had been knocked out of the sky by the much larger Golbat and Crobat.

Yuzo had opted to stay behind and tend to the minor injury while Bradley went out and try to see if you could figure out what had happened.

When Bradley had went outside he was met with the sight of many of the forest pokemon that had come out and were all congregating around the laboratory. They all were crying out in what seemed to be agony though they didn't seem to be injured.

Before Bradley could even attempt and see what was wrong with them, the Tyrunt that had been found with Harry came running around the corner of the building, tears pouring from its eyes, heading straight towards him. He had just barely had enough time to step out of the way of the charging rock/dragon-type as it went charging past him and into the building and down one of the hallways. Looking in the direction the Tyrunt had gone Bradley turned and seen that most of the pokemon that were coming out of the forest seemed to be howling and crying in the same direction.

Bradley froze, his stomach dropping as he realized that the Tyrunt had gone running in the same direction as Harry's room before pulling himself together and taking off after it. Bradley had caught up with the Tyrunt outside one of the safety doors that cut off the research areas from the labs living areas, were the prehistoric pokemon was ramming its body against the door trying desperately to get through.

Hesitantly Bradley open the door and let the Tyrunt run through, following after it. He had the distinct feeling that the Tyrunt was heading for Harry, and while normally when a Pokemon was this upset it was best to keep it away from people, he was sure that it wouldn't pose any danger to Harry. From the day they found the two the Tyrant had been oddly protective over the green eyed teen. When he first came across the two in the forest the Tyrunt wouldn't let them get anywhere near Harry, Miranda had ended up having to use her Cherrims Grass Whistle in order to sedate it before they were able to move Harry out of the forest.

Once they had reached the hallway where Harry's room was Tyrunt made a beeline for the door before stopping suddenly and looking towards Bradley and letting out a cry, apparently expecting Bradley to open it like he done with the safety door, which he did. Right as the door open Tyrant ran in with Bradley right behind it.

Immediately upon entering the room Bradley noticed several things at once; first was that Harry seemed to be sobbing and crying out in his sleep, second several objects around the room seem to be vibrating and almost rising slightly, and third, there was an Eevee sitting on the floor crying out seemingly trying to get Harry to wake up.

Almost immediately Bradley was at the boys side trying to get him to wake up. Immediately upon touching him, Harry began thrashing around in his sleep, trying to both cover himself and reach out at the same time. Bradley had to wrap his arms around the boy to try and keep him steady and prevent him from falling off the bed as he twisted around. It had taken Tyrunt letting out a very loud Roar, that had sent the Eevee hiding under the bed, to finally get Harry to jerk awake.

However once Harry was able to come back to himself and to realize just where he was he almost immediately started crying and sobbing again. This time sputtering out incoherent babbling about 'running away', 'giving up magic' , 'abandoning something serious' , 'him being irresponsible and selfish', and 'him making a mistake'.

Bradley had had no idea what he had been talking about but had spent the better part of 10 minutes calming the boy down enough to speak somewhat coherently, and another hour trying to pick and dissect what exactly had been going on with him.

Ones he had calmed down after the first 10 minutes, just enough to be somewhat coherent through all of the sobbing and hiccuping, he had told Bradley that the energy the people of his world could use was apparently Magic and that they, the witches and wizards of his world, had made a secret society among the regular world. Then gone on about how he had agreed to give it up in order to come to the Pokemon world and in doing so had left his Godfather, a man named Sirius Black, behind while he was still unfairly being hunted as a wanted fugitive. He'd still been crying when he started talking about how he had abandoned the man, all because he didn't want to be there anymore ,that he had just ran away and thought of only himself and even leaving his pet owl behind. That if he had stayed then they could have cleared his name and been a family so he wouldn't have to live with people that hated and hurt him anymore. But now he couldn't go back without his magic and how coming here had been a mistake.

It took a bit of time but Bradley had finally got him to talk about how he had found out who his Godfather was only the year before when the man first broke out a prison. And how the real perpetrator of the crime and managed to escape when , and this is where Bradley had to bite down hard on his skepticism, one of his teachers transformed into some sort of beast and attacked him. All through his explanation Harry kept on saying that he was only running away, and he shouldn't have backed down.

The whole story was something unreal, and Bradley would discuss that in greater detail with Harry at another time. But what had caught his attention was the fact that Harry was having regrets about leaving and that had been why he couldn't sleep. Harry had told him that night he had been having a nightmare that is Godfather was captured, being taken back to prison and was yelling out for him to help and then blaming him for not being there to help clear his name. Then he was being forced to compete in the inter-school competition he had originally wish to be away from, with everybody in the stands yelling at him and accusing him being a cheater for entering and a coward for trying to run away.

After Harry was done with the story Bradley had, looked at him for a long minute, composing his thoughts, before telling him that he wasn't at fault for anything. That he shouldn't be a shame for leaving a situation that was liable to get him killed, it wasn't cowardice that drove him to leave, it was common sense and survival Instinct. He pointed out that even if he had stayed there, he was still unlikely to survive the competition and their would still be no way to clear his Godfather's name. As well as telling him that it wasn't the job of a 14-year old boy to ensure that his crazy world's Judicial System worked. Through his little counter-argument Harry had just stared at him with wide-tear-stained-eyed, with a strange look up both hope and uncertainty. Bradley didn't have to be a psychic to know that Harry didn't believe him but seemed to want to.

Before he could open his mouth to say, what Bradley was sure was a a stream of self-deprecating denial of the professors argument, the blue eyed man gently place a hand over the boys own on the bed. And told him, " You mustn't regret what might have been. The past that didn't happen is as hidden from you as the future that you can't see. But the difference is you can actually choose and try and create the future you want. What's done is done, your here now so after tonight don't cry about the past, think about what you want from the future."

Harry had just stared at him for a long while after that, before the cry of the Eevee that had finally reemerged from under the bed caught their attention. Bradley had reached down and picked up the normal-type, who promptly jumped on to the bed with the teen and proceeded to nuzzle into his side. Harry pulled the fox pokemon into his lap and as he was looking down at it his shoulders started shaking and he began to cry again. Only this time instead of desperate gasping sobs like before he was just silently weeping, letting out little gasps as he slowly wrapped his arms around the Eevee who was still nuzzling him in a show of comfort. At the foot of the bed the Tyrunt, who had apparently been their the whole time, had come over and was sitting with its head pressed against the side of the bed near Harry's legs.

Bradley just watched on as Harry slowly lied back down on his side and slowly brought his knees up to his chest and keeping the Eevee under his chin as his gasps for air became less frequent and his tears slowly started to stop. After a few minutes Harry had cried him self to sleep, and for the first time in days, dispit his tear stained cheeks and slightly swollen eyes, he looked at piece in his sleep.

After that night Harry had been a bit quiet, but had started spending a lot more time with the Pokemon around the laboratory and at the pokemon center. Bradley had also been able to get a few unsavory details about Harry's home life, away from his school out of the boy after he told him that had been one of the things he had been crying about. But he was very sure that Harry was holding a lot back and hadn't wanted to press any further. Even though he had been embarrassed about his break down and for becoming a blubbering mess infront of the professors, he had seemed to be tryingto take his advice, a nod start tryingto move on. Though Bradley still would check in on him at night just to make sure he was till doing alright. He hadn't had any more nightmares, but there were some nights where when Bradley would come to check on him the Tyrunt would be in Harry's room with its head lying at the foot of Harry's bed nudging against his leg.

A knock on the door brought the professor out of his musings, as he looked up from the photo he had been staring at for longer than he had realized.

Putting down the picture he cleared his throat and said, "Come in."

The door open to reveal Zach, his normally wild dark green hair even more disheveled due to the early hour.

"Professor we're ready to start the observation of Glooms evolution into Vileplume and Bellossom." He informed him.

"Very well, I'll be there in a minute." He said, dismissing his assistant.

As Zach walked out the door Professor Rowan stood up taking one last look at the picture he had set on his desk before smiling and heading out of his office to start the day.

Sinnoh Region - Route 202 - Pokemon Center

"What he's already gone!?" Ash cried out in dismay.

"Yes he left a few hours ago. But said that the next time you see each other, you'll have a battle. " Nurse Joy, told the brown eyed boy.

"Ah, say it ain't so." Ash moaned dramatically as he slumped in defeat at hearing that Harry had left so long ago and crushed any chance of catching up with him in the day.

"Looks like you shouldn't have slept in so late Ash." Brock said, looking amused at his friends overly dramatic moping. "Hey, he said he was going to Oreburgh City too right. So all we have to do is head that way and I'm sure we'll run into him eventually." He told Ash trying to cheer him up.

"Yeah, but it would have been nice if we could have all gone together, since we're heading to the same place and all." Dawn added feeling a bit disappointed at having missed their new friend.

"Alright then, let's head for Oreburgh City, my first gym in the Sinnoh region and my battle with Harry." Ash said, now feeling pumped. All traces of his earlier sadness gone.

Sinnoh Region - Route 202

Harry smiled as he looked down from the top of the hill he was standing on. He could feel butterfli-er Butterfree, in his stomach as he looked down at the City.

"Alright, my- our first gym battle. Are you ready?" He corrected himself before looking down to Sylveon.

"Sylve!" He felt a pulse of determination rush through the ribbon around his wrist.

He nodded at his partner, getting one back from the fairy-type before he started walking down the road toward Oreburgh City.

A/N: Well that's it, not mutch of Harry in this chapter but hay, he's had the spotlight for..damn 15 chapters! I hadn't realized how far along the story is getting.

Well anyway, as always Thank you so much for all of the, Favorites, Follows and especially reviews. See you next time.
