Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are

Chapter 161 Xia Lin: Pokémon do not belong to wizards

"Are you the current Pokémon Master Professor at Hogwarts, Xia Lin Gold?" The judge looked at Xia Lin with sweating profusely. At this time, he suddenly felt that his heart was empty, and the previous pressure disappeared in vain. not see. There was only a young wizard in front of him at this time.

"Yes."

The wizard responded unhurriedly. He was handsome and smiling. He seemed to be attending a fan meeting instead of being tried.

If Wizard Weekly didn't print this smile on its cover, it would be a bit in vain.

The presiding judge was in a trance for a short time, but then came back from his trance and said immediately: "Very well, the defendant Charlene Gold, you are accused of violating Article 13 of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy: Any violation that may cause non-magical secrecy." Magical activities that are noticed by members of the world (Muggles) are serious violations. At the same time, here, Cornelius Fudge, the British Minister of Magic, and Albus Percival Wool, the current principal of Hogwarts, will be prosecuted. Frick Brian Dumbledore has made an allegation that your actions have violated Article 73 of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy."

"Am I also accused? I have never heard of this." Dumbledore walked up to Xia Lin with his head held high, raised his head, and looked at those people as if looking down.

"Yes, in addition to you, there is also the Ministry of Magic in the UK." The wizard who read out the regulations nodded and continued, "According to Article 73: Each wizard management agency will be responsible for hiding, caring for and controlling the residents of the United Kingdom. Responsible for all magical animals, humans and ghosts within their jurisdiction. If such an animal causes harm to Muggle society or attracts their attention, that country's magical governing body will be subject to disciplinary penalties by the International Confederation of Wizards .”

"Obviously, the British wizarding community has improperly controlled Charlene Gold and his magical babies, and Hogwarts has also failed to do so. Once Charlene Gold is convicted, , the International Federation of Wizards will make corresponding judgments against the British Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts!"

At this time, Fudge also walked down with Bones and stood on the other side of Xia Lin.

"It seems that our fate may have to be left to you." Dumbledore said half-jokingly.

"May I ask the defendant, did he raise a group of creatures called Pokémon?"

"That's right." Xia Lin immediately nodded in response.

"I would like to ask the defendant, did he publish a comic called "Pokémon" in the Muggle world in the neon area? And spread it widely in the Muggle world?"

"That's right."

Xia Lin nodded crisply to both questions, which made Picquery, who had just suffered a loss in his hands, very proud. Now she was sitting in the judgment seat. Although the surroundings were dark, the joy on her face could not be concealed.

"Excuse me, are the Pokémon raised by the defendant at Hogwarts the same species as the creatures in the Pokémon comics published in the Muggle world?"

"That's right." Xia Lin nodded again.

"Very good -" the presiding judge gently knocked the gavel in his hand and said happily, "Since the defendant confessed to the crime he committed, then -"

"Wait a moment, sir." Xia Lin interrupted him immediately.

Now, Xia Lin is quite happy that the judicial process in the wizarding world is not exactly the same as that in the Muggle world, otherwise he might not have a chance to speak now.

"I have objections."

"What?" The presiding judge immediately raised his voice, and the other judges kept whispering to each other, "You have objections? But you have already admitted it! And MACUSA has provided evidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Picquery immediately asked several wizards to bring over the photos they had taken.

"This is a photo taken by MACUSA's Aurors at Hogwarts. On the other side is the content of a comic you published in the Muggle world. The creatures appearing on it are obviously the same species. What else do you have to say? "

"With all due respect, Mr. -" Fudge couldn't help but interrupt, "It's not a big deal, it's just a few animals. I've also read the so-called 'comic', but there's not a single word about wizard in it. Who doesn't know How many times a year are those magical animals in the wizarding world witnessed by Muggles? The world's largest horse-shaped water monster living in Scotland is called the Loch Ness Monster by Muggles and has been sighted repeatedly; and in XZ, there are also a large number of snowmen. Witnessed events.”

"This is not the same thing, Mr. Fudge. In addition, we have been dealing with these sightings. There is now a permanent International Rangers base in the Himalayas." The presiding judge said impatiently.

"It's been processed, but the legend still doesn't stop." Fudge whispered.

However, in this closed space, no matter how quiet his voice was, it would continue to echo. Once it fell into the ears of those people, their faces immediately became very ugly.

"Just legends, no Muggle would take those things as true."

"There are only comics here, sir. No Muggle has ever seen real Pokémon. To them, this is just like a fairy tale. Do you, Mr. Judge, take the story of Death and the three brothers seriously?" Fudge Couldn't help but sneer. But this did make Xia Lin and Dumbledore look at each other.

When Fudge said this, the judge's face immediately turned livid. He could only forcefully ask Fudge not to speak, and emphasized that this was not the same thing.

"You don't want me to talk? I don't want to get involved in these things? Do you think I'm very free now? Voldemort is still showing off his power. If you are willing to do something serious, why not send him a court hearing letter first, so as to save him a few days? Come to Paris and burn down the Muggles' Notre Dame." After Fudge said this, he sat down angrily.

These words were not very harmful, but very insulting. The judges wanted to refute them, but Voldemort was indeed a madman, and he could really do similar things. But if they really wanted to deal with Voldemort, wouldn't they be seeking death?

So they could only pretend they didn't hear anything and continued to bombard Xia Lin.

"Charlene Gold, you made those pictures in the Muggle world, trying to reveal the secrets of the wizarding world and your messy animals to the Muggles. Do you know how much trouble this caused us? ?The law of secrecy has been implemented for centuries, and this is the first time such a bad incident like yours has occurred!"

"The International Federation of Wizards no longer allows you to continue to do this kind of thing!"

"You need to immediately hand over your animals to the International Federation of Wizards and the Ministry of Magic around the world, and at the same time swear not to reveal their existence. Otherwise, we can only ask you to go to jail for a while."

"What?"

Before Xia Lin could say anything, Fudge immediately screamed and jumped up.

"Confiscating Pokémon? Don't even think about it!" He was furious, his face as red as a persimmon, "You guys, you want others to hand over Pokémon with just one sentence? I'm telling you, don't even think about it! "

"What does this have to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Fudge argued with them with a red face. It seemed that if Bones hadn't pulled him, he might have rushed up to fight those people. "After Voldemort was resurrected, it was Charlene Gold. Sir generously lent the Pokémon he raised to us Aurors, so that we can fight against the Death Eaters without suffering a large number of casualties! And what about the International Federation of Wizards? I have asked you for help several times, Including the last Wizarding War, how much effort did you contribute?

"Or I should say, what does this matter have to do with you? You sit here and don't care about the life and death of us British wizards, but you want us to hand over the Pokémon that resisted Voldemort?"

Fudge looked at them almost as if he were looking at an enemy.

"I think if this is the case, I think it would be better for the British wizarding community to simply withdraw from the International Federation of Wizards and overthrow Voldemort. Then you can slowly fight him."

In an instant, the venue was completely silent, with only Fudge's words still echoing in those people's mouths.

Many people looked at Dumbledore, as if hoping he would do something. But Dumbledore said nothing.

"Albus, I don't think you would allow this to happen, right?"

"What - you mean me? I'm sorry. I'm still on trial. If I'm found guilty, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Azkaban. Otherwise, just let me go to Nurmengard, at least There is a companion there." Dumbledore said as if I am very busy now and can't take care of that much.

Those who were showing off their power just now immediately became sad.

If Britain gave up the fight against Voldemort, that lunatic would immediately expand his power to the whole world. Many French wizards present had faces as dark as their skin color. They don't want to bring another madman to Paris.

Xia Lin watched their performance with interest, as if watching a monkey show. He was originally supposed to be the protagonist, but now he was like a spectator.

Fudge winked at him quietly, this guy did a good job. Especially after joining forces with Malfoy, they brought back the terror of Voldemort.

At this point, the trial had clearly reached a deadlock.

Charlene Gold's so-called secrecy law is indeed not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people. There is no harm in publishing a few comics on a large scale. Anyway, no Muggles have discovered those creatures, let alone leaked the existence of the wizarding world, let alone Creatures like fire dragons are already common legends among Muggles all over the world. On the contrary, Voldemort is the real danger.

"Okay - I think the trial regarding Charlene Gold's breach of confidentiality may need to be suspended -" At this time, someone had already begun to make fun of him, intending to expose the matter.

At this point, it seemed that Xia Lin had almost won, but he was not satisfied with the result.

"Pause? I don't think that's necessary, sir." He gave himself a loud voice that immediately drowned out all other sounds.

"What?"

Many people who were about to leave the table sat back again. They had already taken the initiative to give them the steps. Unexpectedly, this Charlene Gold didn't appreciate it?

"The accusations against me by MACUSA are obviously unfounded. As for the claim that I violated the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, it is even more nonsense." Xia Lin said with a smile.

"But you have admitted before-"

"Perhaps you are mistaken, sir, what is the relationship between what I have done and revealing the secrets of wizards?" Xia Lin looked at him and said slowly, "The International Wizarding Secrecy Law only targets wizards themselves and magical animals. What does it have to do with my Pokémon?"

"You are just making excuses."

"Strong words? Pokémon have never belonged to the magical world. Can you find any traces of Pokémon anywhere else except me?" Xia Lin's eyes were burning, as if there was a ball of fire staring directly at Everyone.

It's because of Xia Lin that there are Pokémon, not because of the magical world.

"All Pokémon were cultivated by me. Remember, sir, it was me who brought the Pokémon to the wizarding world, not the Pokémon from the wizarding world to the Muggle world. In this case, it has to do with confidentiality. What does the law have to do with it? There is not a single word in the Secrecy Law that prohibits Pokémon from appearing in Muggle sight!"

Xia Lin said it was a matter of course, and that was the truth. Before this man brought those magical species to beat up those pure bloods, who had heard of the name Pokémon?

It's just that those wizards took it for granted that Pokémon and magical animals were equated.

"No matter what you think, this is my answer. If you are not satisfied, you can find any Pokémon and bring it to me, but obviously, this is impossible."

In fact, there are not many Pokémon living outside, but——

If they could really help find those sleeping legendary Pokémon and fantasy beasts, Xia Lin would actually thank them.

"This - this only proves that you are secretly breeding new varieties of magical animals. I have to remind you that this is a crime plus one. I remember that privately breeding new kinds of magical animals is illegal in the British wizarding community, right?" He said and looked at Fudge.

But Fudge was playing with his nails at this time.

Xia Lin looked at him as if he were a fool: "I'm sorry, you don't really think that someone can cultivate more than a thousand kinds of magical animals, do you?"

The other person immediately realized how stupid what he just said was.

Even for Hagrid, a little expert at breeding, it is very difficult to crossbreed a magical animal.

Those so-called bomb-tailed snails seem to have become a new species, but in fact? Without human intervention, it won't be long before they kill each other until no one is left.

"In addition, I can also provide another evidence that proves that Pokémon has nothing to do with the magic world." Xia Lin released the Pokémon directly.

A Pikachu jumped out.

"Please take a look——"

Everyone craned their necks.

"Do any of you sense magic in it?"

"Pokémon never belonged to wizards, they belonged to me!"
