After that things returned to normal as the champions continued to try and decipher the hint from the egg and Nick focused on copying the library and clearing the room of hidden things. The second task was to be held on the twenty fourth of February and that meant only about two more months to prepare. That might seem like a lot but the problem is that the champions had almost no idea what they...
2024-02-02 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAll in all Nick was in a good mood for the majority of the ball after he finished showing up everyone else. Luna was in a similarly good mood but took the event as merely another unimportant social party which was admittedly fairly true. It was amusing to see her interacting with the members of the other schools who all looks like they didn't know how to treat her. They couldn't be rude as she ...
2024-02-02 15:55:24 +0000 UTC View Post"Thud!" Vulcans paw slammed into the Heatrans back and made a dull metallic sound like if a heavy wrench had been dropped to the ground. Vulcan immediately blurred away as the Heatran retaliated angrily. I could only sigh when I saw that there was barely any damage at all despite Vulcan hitting it as hard as it could. 'I should have guessed this would be the case , a physically damaging move li...
2024-02-01 16:45:56 +0000 UTC View PostHarry and Ron showed up with Ginny and Padma Patil respectively as their dates and Harry and Ginny were singled out to stand to the side. After that followed the Beauxbatons students and their dates with Fleur and the captain of the Ravenclaw quidditch team being paired together and thus singled out along with Harry and Ginny. Madam Maxime was paired up with Hagrid unsurprisingly considering th...
2024-02-01 16:44:14 +0000 UTC View Post"You know I really would have liked to be asked BEFORE the last possible minute to do this." Nick said as he weaved a grand illusion over the great hall. Dumbledore had apparently gotten the brilliant idea of getting the schools resident illusion specialist involved in decorating the great hall for the ball right before said ball. The great halls were already extravagant to begin with with stre...
2024-02-01 16:42:27 +0000 UTC View PostDespite this place being perfect for fire type pokemon there was not a single mon to be seen anywhere. 'This bothers me , it bothers me a lot.' I thought as I suddenly felt like maybe I shouldn't go deeper into the cave. 'Wait why do I not want to go deeper into the cave?' I pondered as I stiffened at the conflicting thought. I was well aware that I was not some easily frightened idiot so I not...
2024-01-31 17:01:38 +0000 UTC View Post"As the person the box is bound to at the moment you can reset it by pressing that symbol there." Nick said pointing out the deathly hallows symbol on the boxes side. "I think I got it." Harry said with a nod. "You sure you aren't playing favorites , I just got a blade while he got that complicated looking storage box?" Ron asked teasingly. "I gave each of you a present that I believed you woul...
2024-01-31 16:44:54 +0000 UTC View PostThere was another strange set of gifts as well from various people around the world that were thankfully more reasonable than last year. For example lumber from their local trees such as snakewood from South America. Other than that it was mostly food once again which Nick was perfectly fine with as he quite enjoyed the stuff he got from last christmas. "Is every year going to be like this for ...
2024-01-31 16:42:28 +0000 UTC View PostWhile I was still a little upset about my business getting passed out like that I at least could understand why it was done. After that I filled the man in on the situation and the plan we had for it. He was a businessman through and through though and asked for Devon corp to have temporary sales rights to the move in exchange which I agreed to. I was going to be in Hoenn for quite some time st...
2024-01-30 17:08:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing Nick noticed was that Dotty had grown taller , nearly double their original height in fact. In addition to that their body had filled out to more human like proportions while their face had become less wrinkled and more human like. At the top of Dottys forehead two small nub looking horns stuck out as well. The most off putting change however was the eyes that had changed to hav...
2024-01-30 16:48:44 +0000 UTC View PostAfter ironing out all of the questions that there were in regards to vampires Mina was accepted into the group without issue. Things got much more relaxed after that as she stopped bothering Nick and focused her attention on the other members of the group instead. Luna had also accepted Nicks invitation to the ball and the mere fact he had asked her had gotten him several teases from his fiends...
2024-01-30 16:44:37 +0000 UTC View PostJust imagine the thousands of grass type pokemon that work under a trainer at various power levels and then suddenly add a move that turns them from almost pure offense to support and offense. Tag team battles also suddenly got a whole hell of a lot more complicated as well since now whenever a grass type went out on the field with another pokemon there will always be doubt of whether or not it...
2024-01-29 17:23:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe vampire princess went through three changes in mood in quick succession as she understood what Nick had said. The first was confusion because the name he said was not her own , the second was realization that he was baiting her and the third was anger at falling for it. The library was usually fairly quiet but as she released her bloodlust it got deathly silent. Regardless of all else she w...
2024-01-29 17:18:39 +0000 UTC View PostBesides that however Nick found it almost uncomfortable how there was nothing threatening in the background of this year. Sure Grindelwald will probably end up completing his grand ritual by the end of the year but Nick had known about that for years now and had been preparing for it based on what he knew. He had even discarded his mortality almost entirely since he knew about the return of the...
2024-01-29 17:11:20 +0000 UTC View PostAfter that I got the all clear to head out again and ended up knocking boots with Samantha and setting the date for my next challenge before I left Mauville in a north western direction. There was an inactive volcano off in that direction that had a flat top that was home to ice type pokemon. I had two weeks roughly before my next challenge and I needed to drill Gaia and Rune hard if we wanted ...
2024-01-26 16:55:22 +0000 UTC View PostBy the middle of November there was finally a change in the monotonous nature of Nicks life as Hogwarts got a rather controversial visitor. A woman with pale skin , red eyes and long blonde hair like silk , Mina Tepes the vampire princess. Dumbledore played the part of host when she suddenly seemed to to show up out of no where. Nick only discovered her presence due to seeing her at the head ta...

It was basically just a hyper realistic training simulation of combat against other wizards which was the DMLEs bread and butter. With that in mind obviously the golem wizards needed to have a variety of spells and ada...
2024-01-26 16:39:30 +0000 UTC View Post"Uh can someone explain what just happened?" Birch asked confused at the entire situation that just happened. "Nothing you need to worry about , just a personal issue is all." I said reassuringly and he looked doubtful but chose to drop the matter there. "Well all that is left is to gets some tests run on you and then you'll be free to go training in the middle of nowhere again." he says t...
2024-01-25 17:04:55 +0000 UTC View PostNick left the room after that and ate dinner before calling it a day. The next morning he woke up to the sky being overcast and dark as a storm had rolled over while he was asleep. 'I was going to go collect some souls in the forest but this weather is simply dreadful.' he thought and shrugged. Nick walked down into the common room after getting dressed and was surprised to see that someone was...
2024-01-25 17:03:03 +0000 UTC View Post"Harry you were brilliant mate!" Ron said excitedly as the group met up with him after the task ended. "Thanks Ron , I guess those hints at fighting dragons really came in handy." Harry said with a grin at Nick. "I can't talk about the tasks while the tournaments on , especially not with you champions , signed a contract you see." Nick said with a shrug. "Makes sense , got me curious why you ha...
2024-01-25 16:59:56 +0000 UTC View Post"Follow me and I'll bring you to the testing lab to see whats going on with that egg." Samantha said casually before leading the way through the building. Like the name of the building explained the place was a huge science lab effectively that was separated by the fields of research with Samantha's being on the third floor going down the stairs. "Why don't you have an elevator or teleporter?" ...
2024-01-24 17:03:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe reason this was foolish was that due to living in the mountains the species relied on scent and hearing to determine the location of prey rather than sight. As a result all the blinding of it did was piss off the dragon that immediately chose to torch Krum in retaliation. Clearly this result was unexpected and the boy took some serious burns on his shoulder as he dove out of the way. Krum g...
2024-01-24 16:54:45 +0000 UTC View Post"I can't see why not you are rich , powerful and the girls in class gossip about your looks all the time. Why wouldn't they be interested?" Harry asked confused. "It doesn't matter. You though should really get an early start on asking someone out to the ball. Maybe Ginny? She's had a crush on you for years now after all." Nick said flipping the topic back to Harry. It was unpleasant but the tr...
2024-01-24 16:52:20 +0000 UTC View PostOnce we arrived I balled up my team and entered the city while dialing Birch to figure out where the hell I was supposed to go. "Yo Alex I take it you've arrived at Mauville?" he asked in a good mood. "Yep and I officially have no idea where to go from here so you know a bit of directions would be great." I said sarcastically. "Don't get snappy with me mister I am on my way so just sit on a ben...
2024-01-23 15:51:38 +0000 UTC View PostI took a few days after that but things cooled down between Nick and Fleur as she started to actively avoid him , no doubt under Madam Maximes insistence. There was a slight irritation in the form of lovestruck boys leaping to try and confront Nick for his actions even though they had no idea what was going on. After the first five found themselves naked on the top of the towers in the cold how...
2024-01-23 15:39:59 +0000 UTC View PostIt was at the end of this period however when a bit of drama chose to make itself known. Fleur had started stalking Nick in a vain attempt to try and acclimate to his presence near her as far as he could tell. "You know it is hard to focus when someone is glaring at you for hours on end." Nick said from behind her making the girl jump in surprise. "How did you get here?" She asked confused. "Il...
2024-01-23 15:37:05 +0000 UTC View PostAfter walking through the door at the back of the house I and my team slid down a slide that spat us out in a much bigger underground area that had high walls and several paths going different directions. The "trick" this time was that each path had a sign in front of it that was all scrambled up. "Word puzzles eh? Not my first choice but it is what it is." I said as we walked up to the first s...
2024-01-22 17:22:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe next few days the students of the schools rode the high of the selection while the champions themselves got lots of attention from the opposite sex that wanted to leech off of their new images. Nick went to divination like normal and focused his time on crafting the chambers that had been preordered as well as copying the books in the library. The funny part was despite the spells on the bo...
2024-01-22 16:54:27 +0000 UTC View PostThey continued to chat for a bit while eating about what Nick was going to do after graduating early until the meal was over and Dumbledore drew everyone's attention.

Now when the champions names are called I would ask them please to come up to the top of the hall. from there go through the door to...
