Hogwarts: Where are the Pokémon?

Chapter 29 Pokémon Masters Club
The selection of the Pokémon Master Club is on Monday night, and Friday is Halloween.

"To be honest, I thought the Pokémon Masters Club would be in the professor's protected area." Ron said to Harry as he walked towards the location written on the notice.

"But it's not bad, it makes me feel like the reserve is our secret base."

"Of course not, I didn't choose the reserve because there are too many Pokémon in the reserve." Hermione said immediately.

"So I mean feeling." Ron quarreled with Hermione happily.Harry was used to this scene.

Because a few people often go to the reserve together, the relationship between them is better than in the original book, but Ron and Hermione still quarrel.

A few people came to the destination noisily, and at this time, many students had already gathered here.

"A classroom?"

"I guess the professor must have cast the Untraceable Stretching Curse, otherwise it wouldn't be so big."

"But it is against the law to use the traceless stretching spell privately."

"Shut up, Hermione."

As soon as they entered the door, several people realized that something was wrong. The size of this classroom was almost the same as that of the auditorium, and it was more than enough to accommodate the entire Hogwarts students.

And the decoration here doesn't look like a classroom at all, but like a small stadium.

In fact, it is true.

Xia Lin is a small arena re-enacted according to the Pokémon League Conference.After all, the number of students in Hogwarts is very small, so there is no need for a large auditorium, but more battlefields.

At this time, there are seven arenas in the classroom, each of which is about the size of a basketball court.

This means that this time the club will not recruit too many members.

In fact, Xia Lin planned to accept three to four young wizards from each grade to join the club, with a maximum of five.But the number of people present today was beyond his expectations.

So much so that he wondered if all the students had come.

Of course, it doesn't.Slytherin had Quidditch training today. Although Pokémon is also very attractive, they still think it is not as good as Quidditch.

After all, they were only exposed to Pokémon on paper before, and they didn't appreciate the charm of Pokémon battles at all.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Lin saw that it was almost time, so she closed the classroom door and started the selection process.He walked to the high platform and signaled these little wizards to be quiet.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that he is a little wizard. In fact, many seventh grade students are in the same year as him.

"Please be quiet, everyone."

"To be honest, I didn't expect so many people to be interested in the Pokémon Masters Club, but unfortunately, there may not be too many members who can join the club here today."

"But don't worry, whether you're obsessed with it, or you're just here to see the action, I think tonight will be a great experience."

"Next, ask each wizard to be seated according to their grade. It's the grade, not the academy. After that, I will draw lots to arrange your opponents, and the winner will be able to advance. If you perform well enough, then even if you lose , may also be selected for the club."

Harry and Ron immediately began to look for the first grade in the crowd.However, there were too many people at the scene, which made them all dizzy. After finally finding a place to sit down, Harry heard a harsh word next to his ear.

"Go farther away, don't be an eyesore here!" Malfoy immediately sarcastically said.

Harry didn't expect that he would be next to Malfoy without noticing it for a while. He immediately planned to stand up and go to other places, but there were no other seats at this time, so he had to sit down angrily.

"Why don't I remember that this classroom is your place? If you don't want me to sit here, why don't you leave by yourself?"

"Wait, if you meet me in the battle, I'll tell you to look good!" Malfoy said angrily. He could change places with Crabbe and Goyle, but he didn't want Harry to think he was in concessions.

The two stared at each other, neither of them convinced.

Xia Lin on the stage obviously also noticed the small movements of these two people.

But he didn't say anything, he just tampered with their numbers silently.

Xia Lin waved his magic wand, and hundreds of pieces of paper danced around, forming a cocoon-like thing in the air. Those pieces of paper were as fast as afterimages, and no one could see the number on them clearly.After hovering for a while, the note flew towards the little wizards like a river.

It flew up like a white butterfly, staying in front of everyone's eyes, waiting for the wizard to reach out and take it in his hand.

Harry took the note carefully, and before he could read it carefully, he heard Ron say loudly:
"I'm number five, so my opponent is number six? Harry, aren't you number six?"

"No, I'm number seven." Harry said quickly.

Hearing this, Malfoy almost jumped up for joy, flicking the note with the number eight in his hand, his face was even more triumphant: "Our poor little Pot is number seven, it looks like he is about to lose It's in my hands."

"I'm afraid you won't even dare to play! As long as you don't run away before you even started like last time." Harry immediately sarcastically said.

He was talking about the last midnight duel, when Malfoy played everyone.

"However, how are we going to fight Pokémon in a while? I mean, we don't have Pokémon, right?" Seamus said worriedly.

"The professor will definitely give us Pokémon to fight."

But Seamo's expression didn't relax a bit. After all, this was the first time in actual combat.

Most of the students have only seen real Pokémon once in the first class, and now they doubt whether they can really command Pokémon to fight when they play in a while.

On the contrary, Harry and the others were not worried at all.These days, they are familiar with many Pokémon in the reserve.

"Then, please draw students No. [-] and No. [-] to come to the venue."

As Xia Lin's voice fell, the fourteen little wizards stood up and came to different battlefields according to their grades.The two wizards in the third grade are twins of the Weasley family!
Xia Lin didn't expect that the twins would meet by such a coincidence, but it was quite interesting.

At this time, the little wizards who came to the field were still a little confused. Suddenly, they found that a metal device suddenly rose from the ground beside them. After the device was opened, a red and white Pokémon ball appeared. appeared before their eyes.

"It's an electronic device again. How did the professor make electronic products work in Hogwarts?" Hermione was very puzzled.

"Maybe that's actually alchemy?" Ron guessed wildly, obviously not interested in the topic Hermione brought up.Instead, he watched the arena intently, waiting for a battle between Pokémon.

It was also the first time he saw a serious Pokémon battle.
