Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are

Kojiro Sasaki, whose true identity is actually Tom Riddle.

After being resurrected and joining Team Rocket, this was his first mission, and he didn't expect to team up with the legendary wizard.

"Gellert Grindelwald, when did he escape from Nurmengard?"

In a stronghold on the West Siberian Plains, Riddle held the Poké Ball in his hand, thinking about how he would stand out within Team Rocket and become a high-level executive as soon as possible. Joining Grindelwald's team now is a very good opportunity.

If the recovery of the ultimate beast goes smoothly, he will naturally be able to make progress.

But he didn't expect that Team Rocket would secretly cooperate with Grindelwald, and the other party was not an ordinary wizard. Even the arrogant Tom Riddle recognized Grindelwald's abilities. After all, how can anyone who can be compared with Dumbledore be an ordinary person.

The most troublesome thing is that Grindelwald's eyes seem to have extraordinary power. Riddle only hopes that the other party cannot see his disguise.

Apart from this, there was another thing that concerned him.

Barty Crouch Jr. loses contact with him, and the magic he cast on his diary appears to be broken.

"Little Barty, it looks like he's dead, poor boy."

That's what he said, but Riddle actually didn't feel pity for the other party at all, but only felt annoyed at Barty Crouch Jr.'s inability to do things well. They agreed to let him stay at Hogwarts to find out information about legendary Pokémon, but he ended up killing his own. It was such a useless thing.

What made him even more regretful was the Mahuola.

Now that little Barty is dead, I'm afraid Mahuola has also been reclaimed by that mudblood Charlene Gold.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Mahuola has recognized little Barty as its owner. In order to prevent it from being too sad, Xia Lin also modified its memory and then sent it to Ula'ula Island in Alola. The island has Mount Lanakira, the highest mountain in the Alola region, and the climate there is just right for Pokémon like Maura to survive.

Riddle waited at this stronghold in Western Siberia for more than a day before Grindelwald and Dumbledore arrived in a hurry.

The two of them were tired from the journey and felt a little warmer after entering the stronghold.

"Is there a cold-proof magic here?" Grindelwald said a little surprised.

"It's not magic, it seems to be Muggle technology, something called heating. Are you Mr. Grindelwald?" Riddle immediately greeted Grindelwald when he saw him.

He doesn't seem to be such a scary Dark Lord, but a real newcomer to Team Rocket, and he treats seniors like Grindelwald with great "respect".

Of course, this respect is false, just like the perfect posture he pretended before.

"Are you the newly assigned assistant?" Grindelwald casually threw the snow-covered scarf and hat to Dumbledore, and then looked at "Mr. Sasaki" to see what was different about him. .

Being looked at by Grindelwald with such eyes, even Riddle was under great pressure. Moreover, his current body is not yet an adult, and his magic power has not yet reached its peak. Maybe he is really no match for Grindelwald.

Fortunately, Grindelwald didn't see anything.

He was just a little unhappy.

Before, Sakaki arranged for him a team member named "Bill" without any explanation, and Grindelwald naturally regarded him as the Rockets' spy. But he didn't really care.

However, it doesn't matter if you send an informant here. As of now, when you get along with this "Bill", you still feel that there is some tacit understanding. But what does it mean to send another person here now?

Worried that I stole your eyeliner?

(Xia Lin: I’m really worried...)

"I applied on my own initiative, and my grades are the best among the members who graduated from the training camp during this period." Riddell said confidently.

Even if it wasn't magic, he could still excel. This is a gap in intelligence and strength. The talent of ordinary people is far behind him.

Hearing this, Grindelwald said nothing more. On the contrary, Dumbledore inexplicably felt that the man named "Sasaki Kojiro" in front of him was a bit familiar. But this is indeed an unfamiliar face.

"Where is the specific location of UB05 now?"

"Forty-five kilometers to the north," Riddle took out a Rotom mobile phone. The location of the Evil Eater King was clearly marked on the phone. "Boss Sakaki said that the Evil Eater King's level may have reached 65." Level, very strong.

"Before you two arrived, a group of Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic had already made contact with them."

"The French Ministry of Magic?" Grindelwald lowered his face, as if recalling some bad memories, "I hate France."

"I think the Aurors in France don't have Poke Balls, right? How do they plan to get in touch with UB05?" Dumbledore asked.

Riddle had been staring at the situation here, and he understood his question well: "The French Ministry of Magic got an elf ball from somewhere. It was probably through a group that went to Hog a few days ago. It was obtained by Beauxbatons students from Watts. But unfortunately, their plan to conquer it failed. Three Aurors were injured."

Hearing that the French were unlucky, Grindelwald immediately felt good.

In fact, what he hates is not France, let alone Paris. What he hates is someone who likes to raise small animals. But who told him to meet Newt Scamander in France at that time?

I just hate the house and the bird.

As a result, even Riddle, who told the news, became a little more pleasing to Grindelwald.

"The intelligence collection is good, boy!" He patted Riddle's shoulder, moved a little, and walked a few steps in the simple stronghold. "The only drawback is that I am a little short-sighted. Why didn't anyone pour us a cup of coffee? Or what about black tea?”

"I'm the only one in the stronghold right now. I'll go right away!" Riddle hated him so much when he saw Grindelwald treating himself as the boss. But on the surface, he didn't show any dissatisfaction at all. Instead, he showed " "honored" expression.

As if to say: How many people in this world can make coffee for Grindelwald?

"Are you alone? Are Team Rocket so short of manpower now?" Grindelwald looked at Riddle who was already busy, made a sofa and sat down, and asked in surprise.

"That's not true," Riddle said while using magic to heat the water. "This is just a temporary stronghold. If it weren't for UB05, who would put the stronghold in such a remote place?

"Please drink."

Grindelwald drank a cup of hot, bitter coffee, while Dumbledore ordered a cup of sweet black tea. The tastes of the two were completely different.

Seeing the two people enjoying themselves so naturally, Riddle was almost going crazy.

He vowed that when he got the power of the legendary Pokémon, he would immediately make them look good!

Not only Grindelwald, but also Sakaki who destroyed his body, the old immortal Dumbledore and that mudblood Charlene Gold!

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he has enemies everywhere in the world?

"Now, UB05 seems to be trapped in a cold environment, so its activities have begun to weaken. Aurors from the Ministry of Magic in other countries may have also gotten the news and started to target UB05. In addition to Aurors, there are also some shady people. The dark wizard." Riddle seemed to be introducing himself.

However, he didn't seem to realize that he was one of the "shady dark wizards", and he couldn't wait to ask:

"Mr. Grindelwald, when do we do it?"

"Don't worry, the level is estimated to be around level 65. Such an enemy is not something ordinary wizards can deal with." Grindelwald said calmly.

The theory of Pokémon levels is an important subject in Team Rocket and Hogwarts. It is a very difficult skill to guess the strength of the opponent by roughly judging the level of Pokémon.

Within Team Rocket, there is also a general positioning on how much power different levels of Pokémon have.

At level 65, this has reached the threshold of the top wizard's strength, coupled with the powerful magic resistance of Pokémon. It can be said that no wizard can subdue this ultimate beast unless he, Dumbledore and Charingold personally take action.

You know, even with Team Rocket's many resources, the level of Grindelwald's Pokémon is only around level 40. In front of such an enemy, he may not even have the courage to attack. .

But for ordinary Team Rocket members, even Pokémon that are only over level 40 are stronger than themselves.

"Sasaki, what is your Pokémon?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Because I had better grades, I got the rarer Pokémon during the Pokémon distribution," Riddle said. "Then in order to capture UB05 this time, the headquarters specially sent three rental Pokémon."

He took out three special Poké Balls.

Unlike the commonly used red and white balls, these three elf balls are all white, with only the upper and lower lines in the middle being red.

This is a memorial ball.

It doesn't have any special effects, it just looks good. It was the Pokémon inside the commemorative ball that made Grindelwald curious.

Renting Pokémon is a special mechanism in Team Rocket. Due to limited resources, it was temporarily impossible for all Team Rocket members to hold a Pokémon, so a temporary combination of Pokémon and Team Rocket members was born.

After the mission is over, the rented Pokémon will have to be returned to the headquarters.

"What kind of Pokémon is it?"

"The first one is Mariluli, whose attributes are water and fairy, and its characteristic is Hercules; the second one is the Tanabata Blue Bird, whose attributes are dragon and flying, and its characteristic is natural recovery; and the last one is the Sand Mountain King, which looks a bit special. The attributes are ice and steel, and the levels of all three are fifty."

"Fairy, dragon, ice, it seems Sakaki is well prepared." Grindelwald curled his lips.

Although the levels of the three Pokémon are a bit different, their attributes are all capable of restraining UB05. Under siege, the opponent will always show flaws.

"Okay, in that case, let's go." Grindelwald finished his coffee and stood up from the sofa.

"Sir, Pokémon?"

Riddle handed out three Pokémon.

"I don't need it," Grindelwald said arrogantly.

He didn't want to use the rental Pokémon to complete the mission, but in fact he didn't need it: "You two, take it, our enemy is not just the Ultra Beast."

"Then, I'll choose this one. I'm quite interested in the special Pangolin." Dumbledore picked up the Pokemon Ball of the Pangolin.

He regards Riddle as a real newcomer and still wants to take care of him?

I'm afraid Dumbledore never dreamed that the Sasaki in front of him was the Voldemort he wanted to completely eliminate at all times.

The three people braved the wind and snow and headed north. At the same time, other forces were also looking for traces of the Evil Eater King in the ice, snow and frozen soil.

For the Ministry of Magic in various countries, the significance of discovering the King of Evil Eaters is greater than successfully capturing it. After all, this is the first Pokémon discovered in the wild. But what they didn't know was that this evil eating king was actually placed in Western Siberia by Xia Lin on his own initiative.

In fact, what Xia Lin released in the real world was not just a Vicious King, but also some sporadic Pokémon, but generally they were inconspicuous, or simply ghost-type Pokémon.

Grindelwald wore a cool trench coat, and he cast a charm on the inside of the trench coat to keep him warm, so neither Dumbledore nor Riddle could use it. They wear Team Rocket's special uniforms. Dumbledore's clothes are black and he looks like a little guy. Riddle's clothes were white, very inconspicuous in the snow.

The distance of forty-five kilometers is very far for Muggles in a place like this, but for wizards, it only takes a blink of an eye to reach it.

In a short time, the three of them arrived at a huge mine.

"This is……"

The huge crater several kilometers wide shocked Dumbledore greatly.

The layers of loess were exposed to the air. In comparison, the few of them stood at the edge of the mine, like three ants returning to their nest.

He really wanted to tell himself that this huge pothole was caused by the ultimate alien beast, but there were so many man-made traces in front of him that he had to admit that it was cultivated by Muggles.

"This is the power controlled by Muggles, you two." Grindelwald was not surprised at all. Compared to what he had seen before, what was this?

"So I often say that Muggles are not inferior to wizards. They are not useless, but they have different uses from wizards." He looked around and said, "It seems that all the Muggles here have evacuated, but the Aurors are It saved us a lot of trouble, let’s go, that thing is in the deepest part of the mine.”
