Chapter three (HK PKMN)

It was finally the day that Harry would earn his eighth badge and Harry was looking forward to it.
Harry entered the Viridian City Gym. "Giovanni! I challenge you!" He called out.
"I've been expecting you, kid," Giovanni said, sitting on a raised platform in the shadows. "This will be a six-on-six battle, with substitutions allowed. Go Golem!"
"Go Blastoise!"
Giovanni started the battle off by having Golem use Rock Slide, which was countered by Water Pulse and followed up with Hydro Pump; blasting Golem into a wall, unconscious. Giovanni returned Golem and sent out his Nidoqueen, which Harry knew could learn Thunder.
"Thunder!" Giovanni said, going right for the kill.
"Dodge and use Ice Beam!" Giovanni had Nidoqueen dodge it, but she was forced on the defensive and was eventually hit by an Ice Beam and rendered unable to battle, angering Giovanni, who needed to defeat Harry's Blastoise and weaken him before unleashing his big surprise.
"Go Nidoking, use Thrash!"
Harry had Blastoise dodge and use Water Pulse, which was dodged, but now Harry's Pokemon was forced on the defensive, but, unlike Giovanni's Pokemon was in a fighting retreat and weakening Nidoking badly. A simple Rain Dance to exploit Blastoise' hidden ability Rain Dish to recover and then another Water Pulse and Giovanni had his third defeated Pokemon.
"Impressive," Giovanni admitted grudgingly.
Giovanni returned his defeated Nidoking and sent out his Dugtrio and had it use Dig. Harry replied by having Blastoise soak the ground in water to make it move easier and give hints as to where Dugtrio was.... After figuring out where Dugtrio was going to attack, Harry had Blastoise use Protect, and once Dugtrio surfaced, used Hydro Cannon. Dugtrio was easily defeated and Giovanni returned it and sent out his Rhydon, which was quickly defeated by yet another Hydro Cannon....
Despite this, Giovanni was smirking.
"With a smile like that you either just got laid or you have a secret weapon," Harry said, causing Giovanni to chuckle.
"The latter," Giovanni replied with a smile. "I hope you don't mind... but if you do then you can always forfeit."
"I'll continue. I have a secret weapon of my own that I can use."
A metal door was opened and Harry sensed a great deal of psychic power and his Blastoise was suddenly blasted into a wall, but remained conscious.
"Interesting.... Powerful Psychic-type."
"Where is this secret weapon that you claimed to have?" Giovanni asked mockingly.
"With me, always..." Harry replied cryptically. "Blastoise! Mega Evolve!" Harry said, confusing Giovanni. Confusion turned into shock as power emitted from Harry's Mega Ring and Blastoise and light enveloped Blastoise as she evolved into her Mega-Evolved form.
"Now! Dark Pulse!" Harry ordered and Harry watched as the devastating attack was launch into the air and rained down upon Mewtwo's Barrier, creating a crator from the force of the attack and heavily damaging the Gym in the process. "Dragon Pulse!" Harry ordered, and Mewtwo was blasted into a wall, damaging his armor. Blastoise spent the next five minutes brutally blasting Mewtwo into submission with Pulse attacks... but Mewtwo was eventually overcome and defeated.
"It was interesting, but no match for Mega Evolution. Thanks for the great battle. I'd like that badge and 8000 Pokedollars now." Mega Blastoise returned to its true form and then Harry returned it.
"Mega Evolution?" Giovanni asked.
"An ancient and obscure form of evolution that some Pokemon can undergo. It requires a deep bond between Trainer and Pokemon and practice, otherwise the Pokemon could go berserk and... well it isn't pretty. I planned to use it as a last resort in the Indigo Conference, but that Pokemon of yours was radiating massive amounts of psychic energy. It's also temporary and can't be over-used."
"Incredible," Giovanni said. Giovanni gestured to a nearby attendant and Harry was presented with the Earth Badge. "I award you the Earth Badge, proof of your victory over me, and 8000 Pokedollars will be transferred into your account within the hour."
"Thanks! Well, I'm off to train until the Indigo League!" Harry said, before leaving.
After contacting his mother, Harry allowed himself to be led by Death to a hidden island that he would use for training and possibly as a home when he was an adult.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Harry on an island that was unclaimed and had no legal owner, he placed it under the Fidelius Charm and he would be warding it in his spare time. It was already quite large, but Harry also magically expanded areas and made Pokemon habitats, training areas, Pokemon battle-fields, and a refuge for abused Pokemon. The Castle was Harry's favorite feature though....
It was four stories tall and each bedroom had its own bathroom and walk-in closet, but the Master Bedroom was fit for a king. It had a Great Hall, cellar, twenty bedrooms, and, of course, a kitchen. It was the throne that was what tied it all together. It allowed Harry to monitor the entire island and all of its inhabitants. The castle was shaped with transfiguration and the power of his Pokemon, who melted rock and Harry shaped it and enchanted it. It would take time for Harry to stock it with technology and adapt the technology to magic, but it would at least have electricity before the Indigo Conference began.
Protected by magically reinforced walls and watch towers, Harry intended for this castle to stand for over a thousand years.
Harry was also given a dream by Death stating its desire to communicate with him... so, with great dread, Harry unhappily complied.
"Hello, Hadrian," Death greeted. "It seems that Fate has placed you where you can fight on the side of good once more.... She wants you to deal with Team Rocket and several other villainous groups who also abuse Pokemon. Your immense natural talent and some mild interference from Fate has given you all the skills and resources that you need to destroy Team Rocket." 
"When you say deal with, you mean...."
"Yes, slaughter them. Purge their evil from this world before it can grow any further. You did this to the Death Eaters, werewolves, and similar filth and we want you to do that here too. They will all eventually endanger the world and your family too, and we are willing to reward you and provide further incentives."
"I'm listening," Harry replied.
"You can repeat your power multiplying rituals once more each and form familiar bonds with your Pokemon, which will make them even more powerful. As you know, more magical power equals more familiars, but finding the right number of familiars will allow them to draw the optimum amount of power from you." Harry mentally nodded. "Also, you can take money from the defeated criminal organizations... billions of untraceable wealth for your extremely long future. Do you agree?"
"Yes, but you already knew that I would," Harry replied.
"Of course," Death replied calmly. "Also, your island is formerly volcanic and has a decent deposit of gems, coal, gold, platinum, and silver; Fate and I created it with our powers. Feel free to catch Mewtwo and any other of Team Rocket's soon-to-be former Pokemon... catching Mewtwo will prevent his tantrum that would cause some suffering."
"I'll do it," Harry agreed with a sigh. With that done, Death left Harry to begin his purge.
And Harry did begin his purge... thousands of Team Rocket members were murdered, Pokemon were freed and some were later captured by Harry, and Harry took billions in wealth for himself. Harry did things so brutal and cruel that they couldn't even be mentioned, but torture and slow agonizing deaths were prominent in his war against Team Rocket. Catching Mewtwo thankfully wasn't challenging with Mega Evolution and Harry now had what was essentially a Legendary Pokemon. Mewtwo was grateful enough for his newly restored memories that he gave Harry a chance. Team Rocket's clients, affiliates, and secret agents were all reported to the International Police and Pokemon G-Men.
Once he spent a month butchering low lives, Harry returned to his training.
Mewtwo was leveled up to 86 and learned Mist.
Lapras was leveled up to 85 and was taught Thunderbolt, Protect, and Dream Eater.
Aerodactyl was taught several moves, too many to list.
Houndoom, Rhyperior, Tyranitar, Scizor, Golem, Magmortar, Electivire, Gengar, Alakazam, Steelix, Blastoise, Venusaur, Dragonite, Gyarados, Pidgeot, and Fearow were all leveled up to level 85.
Apart from that, Harry had doubled his base magical power, then tripled it, and then multiplied it by seven-fold with rituals. He could now support a lot of Pokemon with familiar bonds... a small army of them. Pikachu was the first, Harry was the closest to him, and Charizard was next, but Harry was saving his power for his others and possible future Pokemon.
Harry continued training, aiming to get most Pokemon up to level 90 or higher and he also 'acquired' the designs of the machine to resurrect fossils and adapted it to operate in a magic-rich environment. Once that was done, Harry began resurrecting extinct Pokemon and created a preserve for them all to live. Long term, Harry hoped to have their populations up high enough for trainers to be able to catch them in a few centuries.
It was inevitable that he would eventually tire of training and need a break though.... It was also inevitable that Harry would also technically work during that break.... His goal? Catch a Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno for no real reason and then not use them in official battles. Yes, he was still considered intelligent, but he always wanted Legendary Pokemon, yet he also found using them in league competitions dishonorable.
He succeeded and it wasn't even all that difficult with his powerful Pokemon and a type advantage.
It was soon back to training, yet again. Harry got most of his Kanto journey Pokemon up to level 100. It took a lot of time and he definitely went overboard, but his training methods were validated and he was free to continue preparing for his Johto journey.... Which involved training the Pokemon that he intended to use there.
His Bagon, Gible, Beldum, and Ralts were all leveled up to 30 and evolved.
Aron, Swablu, and Absol were all leveled up to 30.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a month and a half until the Indigo Conference began and Harry was basically ordered to attend dinner by his mother. He didn't mind that much, but he really wanted to train some more.
"So, Ash, how's your training going?" Harry asked.
"He hasn't done any training," Misty replied, to Harry's concern.
"I keep getting distracted," Ash said defensively.
"That's why you isolate yourself, Ash. All I've done is train, plan, prepare, and catch more Pokemon for months. Traveling towards the Indigo Plateau and battling as much as you can would be good training. You might even find more Pokemon to catch." Harry could tell that Ash thought that was a good idea. "If you don't have time to get your new captures ready for the Indigo Conference then you could give them extra training for the Silver Conference. I'm already preparing for the Silver Conference." Misty and Brock looked quite impressed by that.
"You are?" Ash asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have no plans of using Johto Pokemon though. I've acquired low level Pokemon from Hoenn due to it having so many impressive Pokemon. It isn't really practical to train over twenty Pokemon with my training methods, so I'm trying to train them in small numbers for two different league competitions."
"Good idea," Brock said.
"Have you been doing anything else these past few months?" Delia asked, concerned that Harry wasn't having any fun.
"Yes, when Team Rocket was wiped out I stepped in and captured some of the troublesome Pokemon and I've helped some of the abused ones too. I've also been working on a project of mine too, but I need to start having some of them adopted. Brock would you be interested in adopting a Steelix, a Golem, or a Rhydon? They all used to belong to Giovanni before he was murdered, so they will require quite a bit of patience and understanding. They were locked in cages, verbally and physically abused, and even denied food for failure."
"Of course, I'd be glad to adopt them," Brock replied, always willing to help a Pokemon in need and they most definitely needed it. It was shocking for him to learn the true extent of Giovanni's cruelty.
"There is also a Kingler," Harry said to Misty. "It's level 56 and knows Crabhammer, Bubble Beam, and Water Pulse... that I know of. It wasn't abused as badly as the others."
"Sure," Misty replied.
"There are two Fearow's; each at level 41, a Skarmory; level 40, a Dugtrio; level 42, a Nidoqueen; level 44, and a Nidoking; level 45 left. Interested Ash? I also have some Gyarados that you can pick one of, but those are the ones that I defeated for terrorizing Vermilion City."
"I prefer to catch my own Pokemon and bond with them," Ash replied.
"Pity that you aren't interested. I offered because I knew that you would treat them well." Harry said, but Ash just nodded in understanding.
"I still need to rely on my own skills before I consider adopting a rescued Pokemon," Ash said, impressing everyone with the act of maturity.
"So you've just been training, basically?" Delia asked, considering catching Pokemon preparation for more Pokemon battles.
"Well that and the island that I was training on was unclaimed, so I claimed it and I've been building myself a home on it for when I'm older. I've built myself a home and I'm creating habitats for Pokemon to occupy too, but, yes, I'm mostly training. I'll begin acquiring more Pokemon soon too." Delia nodded.
The rest of the dinner was spent with polite conversation and Ash confirmed his intent to travel and train, and travel the rest of the way by plane if he didn't make good time.
After giving Brock and Misty their new Pokemon, Harry returned to his Island.
Once back at his home, he accessed International Trade and acquired the rest of his desired Pokemon: Treecko, Mudkip, Torchic, Snorunt, Duskull, Feebas, and Trapinch. And then the fun started, he needed to get them all level 30 like his other Johto and Hoenn Pokemon.
Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip were all leveled up to level 30 and evolved.
Trapinch, Snorunt, and Duskull were all leveled up to 30.
Harry used a Prism Scale on Feebas to evolve it into a Milotic.
Best of all, Ketchum Castle was completed.
Harry had also completed his acquisition of the wrecked Pokemon Land and the Celadon Game Corner and had bought up some of Giovanni's family estates and other properties. It required liberal applications of magic, but it was done and his future was secure. The wrecked robotic Pokemon were salvaged and Harry had arranged for Pokemon Land to become a festival and tournament grounds as part of his plan for his legacy... an all new challenge with the strongest trainer at the top, a trainer stronger than any champion, and with former champions as the Elite Eight, and Elite Four level trainers as Gym Leaders.
But, now, Harry would be leaving for the Indigo Conference, where he would hopefully win and become the Champion.
