Chapter eleven (HK PKMN)

Harry had finally arrived in Unova, having decided to travel there with his family and Professor Oak.

"We're here, Pikachu!" Ash said excitedly.

"Shame that you're so depressed about that, little bro," Harry commented drily.

They began to walk away, but Pikachu seemed distracted.

Harry was the first to notice. "Ash, get Pikachu and get inside! It senses a dangerous level of electricity and I have a theory about the source..." Ash didn't move.

"What are you talking about?" Ash asked stupidly.

Harry sighed, levitated both Ash and Pikachu sent them flying inside, landing gently and trapping them both inside.
Harry sent out his Charizard and then levitated into the air, flying toward what he suspected to be Zekrom. Harry ordered it to use Hyper Beam upon the figure in the clouds, clearing up the storm and also getting the legends full attention. Charizard got serious and hit Zekrom with Dragon Pulse and when that wasn't enough, he used Draco Meteor and blasted Zekrom real good, inflicting massive damage to it. It was followed up with Dragon Claw, Dragon Pulse, and then another Draco Meteor... defeating Zekrom.

Harry threw an Ultra Ball, catching Zekrom, and then waited for it to take... the capture was successful.

Harry returned Charizard and went to rejoin his family and Professor Oak.

"Are you alright?" Delia and Oak asked.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure why that Pokemon was acting like that... maybe it's territorial like Rayquaza and thought it sensed something here. Still it could have been a threat and caused a lot of damage."

They were interrupted by a very beautiful Professor, Professor Juniper, if Harry guessed right.

"Any idea why a Pokemon would want to destroy this place with a thunderstorm?" Harry asked once they were near Juniper's car.

"No, do you know which Pokemon that it was?"

"No, I suspected that it was Zekrom and even thought I was fighting it, but it was defeated far too easily by my Charizard. Once it's healed, I'd like you to examine it." Juniper nodded okay.

When they arrived, no time was wasted and Harry let out his captured Pokemon.

"You said it was defeated easily?" Juniper asked while Zekrom was healed.

"Yeah. My Charizard is at a very high level, but if it was Zekrom then it would have been able to put up a good fight."

"Well, congratulations are in order. Your Charizard is powerful enough to easily defeat the legendary Pokemon Zekrom. Your Charizard is at level 151...." Juniper said in surprise, shocking Professor Oak, Ash, and Delia.

"Shouldn't Zekrom be at least level 100 and have an advantage due to its legendary status?" Harry asked. Spoiler alert, Harry was fishing for compliments.

"This Zekrom is level 85, but no it was beaten pretty soundly it seems." Juniper replied.

"It's waking up!"

Harry sent out his Charizard as a precaution and summoned Mew to him. "I need you to translate for all of us." Mew nodded yes.

"Why did you try attacking the airport?" Harry asked.

*"He says that he didn't, he was merely viewing the area and that you misread his intentions and attacked him."* Mew replied for Zekrom.

"He was raining down lightning and that lightning could have caused explosions or disabled or sabotaged planes..." Harry replied, angry at Zekrom's carelessness.

*"He didn't intend too,"* Mew replied for it.

"I'll set him free, but he's learning Draco Meteor and some control first. Since I caught him, he's currently my responsibility." Zekrom looked displeased, but the human raised a good point. He could have caused a lot of damage and humans were strangely attached to their contraptions.

Zekrom agreed and was returned to his Poke Ball.

After receiving the Unova Pokedex, Harry departed Nuvema Town and was ready to conquer himself yet another Pokemon League.

Harry loved that there were very few people in Unova who knew who he was... trainers were accepting his challenges and losing their money. Harry loved that! He wasn't as easily recognized in another nation and he could lure countless idiots into a wager. It gained him quite a bit of money and great experience for his Pokemon.... So much so that all of his Pokemon were soon at level 35 or higher.

Between all those battles and weak Gym Leaders, Harry was breezing through Unova without complaint or regret. The battles were all pathetically easy, but Harry was still learning from it and he was dissecting his opponents strategies and in some cases countering them before they could occur... a talent that he always had, but he was actively focused on improving it.

Harry was still disgusted by the weak Gym Leaders... not one of them had a Pokemon over level 50. Harry was glad that he had no desire to defeat this leagues Elite Four and Champion... this region was barely worth his time. Harry had managed to raise his Pokemon up to level 85 before even facing Drayden and that was largely due to having so many ignorant opponents.

His Axew was now a Haxorus, his Deino was now a Hydreigon, his Litwick was now a Chandelure, and his Pignite was now a powerful Emboar.

As for Zekrom, he had made great progress. He was now level 90 and had learned Rain Dance, Roost, Light Screen, Protect, Giga Impact, Draco Meteor, and Dragon Pulse.

With six months left until the Unova League, Harry began training.

The first thing Harry did was train all of his Unova Pokemon up to level 100, which took him two months.
The next was training a select few of his older Pokemon beyond that....

Unfortunately, Team Plasma had learned of him catching Zekrom and had located him.

"Repeat what you just said," Harry said coldly.

"Give us all of your Pokemon!" Ghetsis demanded once more, unconcerned about any attempts by Harry to attack them. Harry was outnumbered and was facing an army of Pokemon. Not even the Zekrom he had caught could save him!

Harry restrained the Plasma Grunts and other leaders, stripped them of their Poke Balls and returned their Pokemon, and then burned them all alive. Harry was indifferent about their suffering, but he would have to bring back their shades and then dismantle the entire Team Plasma organization with their knowledge.

**Two days later....**
Thankfully slaughtering the evil pricks who wanted to disarm the people of Unova and then conquer them didn't didn't take very long. Truthfully, it would been more fun if it took longer, but Ghetsis had most of the information that Harry needed to wipe out the organization. It was actually kind of boring though... easily brutally murdering people gets repetitive. Oh I'm gonna blast this person apart! And then this one! Oh, I'll burn this one! And these other five too! See? Boring!

Harry now had plenty of additional Pokemon to give away, but would be keeping quite a few for himself. With Ghetsis having a level 66 Hydreigon, Cofragrigus, Bisharp, and Bouffalant needing a new trainer, Harry began looking.... Ash refused any more Pokemon gifts, wanting to train and rely on his Unova team so Harry contacted Lance....

"Hello, Harry. If this is about your actions in Unova then I and the International Police already know." Lance said.

"My actions?" Harry asked in faux confusion, suppressing his reaction with Occlumency.

"Yes, Team Plasma trying to murder you and steal your Pokemon and getting wiped out," Lance replied, but he was impressed by Harry's self control. "You aren't in trouble. The International Police were just spared some paper work and just wrote it off as war with another faction to save the agency millions. It was justified self-defense and will save them time, funding, and the trouble of dealing with corrupt officers, politicians, and an army of Team Plasma Grunts." Harry was shocked, and it must have shown.

"The International Police are semi-corrupt, but more in a vigilante way. They were all just glad that Team Plasma was dealt with and your identity was removed from all evidence as thanks and incentive to not speak up... If you do, well, you get punished for your own vigilantism." Lance said. "Why were you calling?"

"Ghetsis had a level 66 Hydreigon that needs a new trainer who can help it recover from the abuse that it endured... I was wondering if you needed another Dragon-type."

"I already have a Hydreigon of my own, but if you send it to me then I can pass it onto Clair. She's been looking to build up her collection of Dragons."

"I'll do that," Harry replied. "There are also two Deino, level 45... if you think she would be interested."

"Sure, send them too. If not, then they can always live in the Dragon Holy Land." Lance replied.

After saying their goodbyes, the call was ended and Harry quickly sent the three Dragon-type Pokemon to Lance.

With Team Plasma, a threat to Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem neutralized, Harry decided to free the now better trained Zekrom... though Harry would greatly miss him, he gave him his word to release him.

One more notable thing had happened though... Harry had decided to challenge the Unova Elite Four and Champion if he won the Vertress Conference.... He would obviously abdicate if he won, but he needed the challenge, experience, money, and the Unova Region wasn't a part of his plans. If he managed then he would win three million Poke Dollars for beating the Unova Elite Four and Champion and possibly even a few advertisements and book offers. Battles were getting boring and the best way to spice things up was by battling the five best trainers in Unova.

Harry would get his chance... the Vertress Conference began in a mere week. It was with a sigh, with Harry mourning that his time in Unova wasn't more interesting, that he left for Vertress City.

Upon arriving at Vertress City, Harry wasted no time in registering early and getting himself a hotel room... after that it was just him exercising his Pokemon, some mild shopping, and being a tourist. Harry had even managed to help some idiot named Cameron who didn't know that he had to register before the conference.

Ash, his girlfriend for this region, and Cilan, one of the Striaton City Gym Leaders, all arrived at Vertress City days later. Harry was amused when Ash was knocked into a fountain and just couldn't remain silent.

"And blondie uses Take Down on poor Ash Ketchum... it was super effective...." Harry said, revealing his presence to his brother.

"Shut up, Harry!" Ash said in annoyance, already climbing out of the fountain.

"And deprive the world of my lovely voice?" Harry asked with a smirk.

"Your twins!" Iris exclaimed.

"Fraternal twins... I'm minutes older and *way* better looking," Harry replied. "Since Ash has forgotten his manners, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hadrian Ketchum, Ash's older and better looking brother who likes bragging about himself...." Ash glared. "Fine, I won't continue bragging about my *many* impressive accomplishments."

"Why are you wearing a cape?" Bianca asked, admiring the details of it and Harry's body.

"Lance, the Johto Champion and member of the Kanto Elite Four proclaimed me a Dragon Master, and I got the cape to celebrate.... Lance is known for his cool capes and I wanted to emulate him, and it was a great excuse to own and wear this awesome cape."

"There's no way you're a Dragon Master!" Iris said angrily.

"Why is that? A Dragon Master proclaimed me one in recognition of my skills and I meet all requirements. I was proclaimed a Dragon Master at age thirteen." Harry replied. "Even Drayden recognized my superior command of the Dragon-type when my Dragonite effortlessly swept his entire team, though I found him a disappointing opponent." Iris looked shocked and angry, and then just huffed and walked away.

"What's her problem?" Harry asked.

"She dreams of being a Dragon Master and you beat her to her goal and even insulted her role model," Cilan explained.

"Ah."

After his brothers other friends arrived, Harry left to let them all get registered.

**The next day....**
It was time for the opening ceremonies and Harry was eager to start battling....

"You look excited," Ash said in observation.

"Yeah, if I win this conference then I'm going to challenge the Elite Four and Alder... if I beat all five then I'll earn three million Poke dollars."

"Well, I'm gonna win this one!" Ash replied, but Harry rolled his eyes. Ash was no threat to Harry's goals and both Ketchum brothers knew it... Harry predicted that his brother would do worse in this conference. Ash's Unova team was actually far worse than his Sinnoh team.

Finally, the action seemed to have started... with a man jumping out of a helicopter. Thankfully he had a parachute and safely landed.

"Greetings! Freddy the Scoop is here and ready to roll, and so it's my great honor to welcome you all to the Unova League! Now, if everyone will please turn your attention to the flame cauldron, Vertress City's very own Officer Jenny will light the Unova League flame!"

"Alright, before the main battles we will hold our qualifying rounds. Only those trainers who win will advance to the main event! Each trainer is allowed one Pokemon in our preliminaries... now, up on the screen our qualifying match-ups."

And so began the preliminary rounds....

Harry, he calmly dissected his opponents strategies and he even predicted his opponents actions quite impressively.

Ash... he barely scraped a victory and Harry was concerned and quite disappointed. His brother kept acting like an idiotic amateur and was wasting his time and risking his victories. He hadn't even trained his dumb Oshawott right. It was greedy, weak, and had caused fights by stealing food... it stole food from Harry's own Pokemon and was one-hit. Harry flat-out told Ash his Oshawott had behavioral issues, much to Ash's anger.

The Vertress Conference continued and Harry was soon in the Top 8, with Ash, Virgil, Dino, Cameron, Russet, Antonio, and Katharine having also made it. Ash had just beaten Cameron's 'secret weapon,' a Hydreigon, and Harry was hopeful that he would finally face his brother in a league conference... and then Cameron's Riolu evolved and then overpowered Ash's Pikachu.

Harry easily defeated his two opponents and the conference was down to Harry and Virgil.... Virgil was a talented trainer, but he was no prodigy and he lacked a similar level of skill and battles experience... Harry dominated him and won his fifth championship.

"And our winner is Hadrian Ketchum from Pallet Town!" The announcer said as cheers broke out. "This is Hadrian's fifth championship win! Not only that, but Hadrian has also just matched his own previous accomplishments at the Silver, Ever Grande, and Lily of the Valley Conference and none of his Pokemon have fainted during the entire Lily of the Valley Conference! This is Hadrian's fifth league win in a row and Hadrian Ketchum from Pallet Town has become the first in history to achieve this, and has added to his world record...."

"Hadrian has just set two more national records.... No Pokemon fainted during the Vertress Conference. A national record. No Pokemon fainted during four League Conferences... a national and world record. Here comes the Champion Alder to present Ketchum with his trophy!"

"Congratulations, Harry!" Alder said, knowing that his name was some variation of that name. "I present you with your trophy; proof of your victory, and one million Poke dollars will be transferred into your account. Your winning the Vertress Conference grants you the right to challenge Unova's Elite Four and myself at any time you desire, and you will bear the title Champion of the Vertress Conference until next year."

"Thanks..." Harry replied. "I'll be seeing you soon though. I'm challenging the Unova Champion League."

"I look forward to battling you then!" Alder replied, before walking away.

Harry wasted no time in announcing his intention to challenge the Elite Four and Alder... Ash stuck around to watch and was actually allowed to be closer to the action.

Harry's Bronzong nearly managed to single-handedly sweep Marshal's entire team, much to his brothers and the audiences shared awe. Gardevoir finished up the battle without fainting.

Grimsley required Blaziken to beat, but he was soon defeated too.

With Harry having defeated two out of four of the Elite Four, he was allowed to take a break and swap out his Pokemon. The next opponent would be Caitlin, the Psychic-type specialist of the Elite Four.

"You could really win this, Harry!" Ash said in awe.

"Well, yeah," Harry replied. "That's the goal, bro. Besides, I do need the three million for my plans and the Unova League has no part in them. I needed this challenge badly. Competition is getting pretty boring, but I'll probably quit traveling after the next league and settle down and begin working on my true plans."

Ash just nodded, knowing that Harry would continue keeping his decade long silence on his plans until his secrecy was no longer needed. Ash just wished that Harry wouldn't throw away a champion title....

"This battle between Hadrian Ketchum of Pallet Town and Caitlin of the Elite Four will now begin!" The referee said.

"Trainers please send out your first Pokemon!"

"Go Metagross!" Caitlin said.

"Go Chandelure!" Harry said. When the referee gave the word, the battle began. Metagross tried using Psychic, but was targeted by Imprison, stripping it of several moves. It was followed up with Flamethrower and then Hex....

"Metagross is unable to battle! Caitlin, please send out your next Pokemon!"

Since Chandelure cannot learn Hypnosis and was unlikely to know Dream Eater due to not being able to perform the entire move combo, Caitlin sent out Musharna and ordered it to use Hypnosis... to surprisingly no effect. It was quickly hit with Imprison, then Will-O-Wisp, Hex, Night Shade, and defeated with Flamethrower.

Caitlin was beginning to realize Harry's brilliance.... Pokemon can learn many moves, but require more training to remember them all, and Harry trained Chandelure to down grade Psychic-types so that they could be defeated far more easily and all while knowing several moves detrimental to Chandelure and using Imprison to counter them. Chandelure was even trained to avoid sleep! Caitlin was very impressed, but her Gothitelle would still defeat Harry's Chandelure.

"Go Gothitelle! Use Thunderbolt!"

Harry had Chandelure dodge and use Imprison once more before using Fire Spin on Gothitelle... it was then that Caitlin realized she couldn't free Gothitelle with Psychic and was forced to use Thunderbolt for that, but was hit by Will-O-Wisp and Hex in the mean time. Caitlin had her Gothitelle dodge the incoming Shadow Ball and use Thunderbolt again, but it was redirected with Psychic and Gothitelle was forced to dodge her own attack... and while that was happening Gothitelle was hit by Night Shade, defeating her.

Caitlin requested her optional break to strategize.

"They can request breaks?" Ash asked in confusion.

"Yes. Instead of the standard break after having three Pokemon defeated it becomes optional. I get one too... if I want." Harry paused. "Caitlin likely believes that my Pokemon are under level 70, but they're all at level 100 or higher... my win should be secure, but her Reuniclus and its Magic Guard ability will require brute force, as will her Sigilyph and its Wonder Skin ability. I'll use my extremely powerful Gengar for those two."

"I-i didn't know you were this good, Harry," Ash said in shock. "I knew that you battled Lance, and defeated Steven Stone and Cynthia, but you've dominated some of the best trainers in all of Unova."

"I'm a prodigy Ash," Harry replied. "I'm best at battling, training, evolving, and trading Pokemon though. It's boring though. Battles get less challenging as you progress."

When the battle restarted, Harry sent out his Gengar and Caitlin her Reuniclus. A quick Shadow Punch and it was beaten, much to the shock of most of the viewers. Sigilyph got the same treatment and not even her Gallade could withstand Gengar's might. It also helped that Gengar was level 147.

"The winner of this battle is Hadrian Ketchum from Pallet Town!" The referee declared.

The battle with Shauntal went great... for Harry. Harry used Chandelure's Imprison to deprive Shauntal's Chandelure, Cofagrigus, Driftblim, and Banette of their strongest moves and then defeat them. Her Golurk and Froslass were dealt with by Gengar. Shauntal still managed to defeat Chandelure though, by wearing her down.

"Hadrian Ketchum has just defeated the Unova Elite Four!" The announcer exclaimed. "The Champion Alder will be battling Hadrian as soon as Hadrian's Pokemon are cleared for battle by Nurse Joy."

**Three days later....**
"This battle for the Unova League Champion title will now begin!" The announcer said, uttering those fateful words.

"Champion and challenger, send out your first Pokemon!"

"Go Bouffalant!"

"Go Blaziken!"

"Battle begin!" The referee said.

Alder started the battle off with Stone Edge, which Harry let hit and had Blaziken use Counter, but he wasn't done yet.

"Brick Break!" Harry ordered. Blaziken was a blur as he sped over to Bouffalant and used Brick Break right on its skull, blasting Bouffalant into a wall and unable to battle.

"Bouffalant is unable to battle! Champion Alder send out your next Pokemon!"

"Go Druddigon!" Alder said.

Harry returned Blaziken and sent out Lapras.

Surprisingly Alder didn't substitute and Harry ordered a Perish Song, suspecting a strategy from Alder and wanting to thorough. Lapras used Sing, putting Druddigon to sleep and then used Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and to finish it, yet another Ice Beam.

"Druddigon is unable to battle! Champion Alder send out your next Pokemon!"

"Go Accelgor! Use Energy Ball!"

"Protect!" Lapras succeeded in defending against the Energy Ball, and then used Perish Song and followed it up with Sing.

"Accelgor, return!"

"Lapras return," Harry replied and sent Blaziken back out, baiting Alder into what he would believe to be a battle of attrition.

"Go Volcarona!" Alder said, causing Harry's lips to briefly upturn.

"Stone Edge!" Harry ordered, to Alder's shock. Blaziken used Stone Edge, Rock Slide, and to finish it all off, Harry had Blaziken use Brave Bird.

"Volcarona is unable to battle! Champion Alder send out your next Pokemon!"

Harry smirked at Alder, knowing that he was going to defeat the old man. Alder knew it too, the Ketchum kid was extremely skilled and had trained all of his Pokemon very very well. If Alder was going to continue battling Ketchum then he would have to use his Excavalier and his Aerial Ace.

With that in mind, Alder sent out his Excavalier and wasted no time in having it use Aerial Ace on Blaziken.

"Counter!" Harry psychically ordered and Excavalier fell into the trap, taking twice the damage that it dealt.... "Now, Blast Burn!"

"Excavalier is unable to battle! Champion Alder send out your next Pokemon!"

Alder sent Accelgor back out and had it use Focus Blast, which Blaziken dodged and then used Flare Blitz to defeat Accelgor, shocking Alder and the audience even further.

"Accelgor is unable to battle! Champion Alder send out your final Pokemon!"

Alder sent out his Vanilluxe, hoping to at least defeat Ketchum's Blaziken, and Harry knew the Pokemon's moveset quite well... Mirror Coat was one of them. There were very few moves that Blaziken could use to avoid that, but Flare Blitz was one of them.

"Flare Blitz!" Harry ordered, and with Blaziken's superior speed and power, Vanilluxe was unable to dodge in time.

"Fire Punch!" Harry ordered, and Blaziken punched Vanilluxe into the ground... unable to battle.

"Hadrian Ketchum is the winner of this battle and the new Unova League Champion!" The announcer said. Alder returned his defeated Pokemon and walked over to congratulate Harry.

"Congratulations, Harold!" Alder said, causing Harry's eye to twitch. "If you'll follow me, I'll induct you into the Hall of Fame and arrange for your prize money to be transferred.... Well, there is a technician who will actually do that. People think that I have memory problems, but it's not my fault that their parents didn't name them correctly."

"You're funny person, Aaron," Harry said drily. "Hold onto that, it's all you have left since you're no longer champion and now that your looks have faded." Alder glared, but led Harry to the Unova Hall of Fame and the technician quickly registered Harry.

**Hadrian Ketchum of Pallet Town, Kanto Region. Five time Champion, five-time national record holder, a holder of two world records, and a Dragon Master. Defeated Alder with none of his Pokemon fainting. Pokemon team: Charizard, Blaziken, Crygonal, Gengar, and Froslass.**

After calling out his Pokemon and having their picture taken, Harry was informed of the three million Poke Dollars transferred into his account.

Harry later abdicated, citing that Alder looked like he was about to cry and he felt pity for him after he was rejected by another woman.... The people of Unova called him a kind person, never suspecting that Harry was just looking for an excuse to abdicate.

After speaking with his mother, Harry decided to travel directly to Kalos. His mother thankfully understood, Harry was limiting himself to mere years of travel instead of a lifetime like most trainers and wanted to make the most of it.

Harry had already acquired his wanted Pokemon and had spent 100,000 Poke Dollars on a Jaw Fossil... Tyrunt was a Rock and Dragon type Pokemon and was level 20 when he was restored.

Harry departed Unova truly satisfied with his actions there.
