Chapter 1 : Wrong Path
That was the great day. The most expected date was close, there was only one night left. He looked for the thirteenth time the calendar which had the entire month of March marked by crosses on the days and a small circle stood on day 22.
His room was not what might be expected of a future pokemon trainer but without a mother or a father to keep an eye on him that didn't really matter. He had a single bed with a small table next to the window and, on the opposite wall, was a poster of the Indigo League which is held at the end of the year. On the other side, near the door, some figures were located. They were the legendary pokemons: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and the three legendary dogs like Raikou, Entei and Suicune. Those were a ultra limited edition figures and he had got them from a competition held a few years ago.
He took the alarm and he scheduled it to sound at dawn, was somewhat exaggerated but he didn't wanted to remain asleep like two years ago. He lay on his bed with both hands under his head, he watched the ceiling of his room while his heart pounded with excitement.
-"Wow, what a great dobe you are. You arrived so late that the professor runned out of pokemon" -He recalled the phrase that both tormented him and the mocking expression on the face of Sasuke Uchiha who had gotten a Charmander from Professor Oak.
He held the pillow tightly while he was half turned, the face of the dark-haired boy and the cheerful smile of Charmander flooded his thoughts . The little one didn't know how bad was the Uchiha, but soon he will realize it. "I'm sure that he had already realized it" -Thought the boy as he figured that Charmander would be a Charmeleon or Charizard now. He imagined the pokemon burning the Uchiha and a smile appeared on his face.
-"Na-Naruto-kun i-if you w-want i c-can gi-give you my Squirtle" -Hinata Hyuga was one of the few persons who were kind to him since he could remember, she was extremely rare and shy but nice and a good friend. He regretted refusing that pokemon, although he preferred the electric type he could begin his journey that day.
-"No Hinata it's yours, I'll get another pokemon somehow, don't worry for me" -that response was empty, he knew that he couldn't compete for medals without pokemon.
The sweetness of the girl reassured him immediately while the memory of Hinata's happiness and her Squirtle dozed him. He slept, thinking that he couldn't fail again, he shouldn't.
The ray of the sun was burning his face, he tried to open his eyes but a strong light dazzled him. He rubbed his eyes with both hands to help them to open fully. He sat on the bed as his vision were slowly returning to him, in a few minutes he could see his room fully lit. He looked at his watch and he surprised immediately: the needles marked 4 AM.
He slowly turned his gaze to the window and he realized that the moon still remained in the sky. So, ¿where the strong light came from?, the answer to that question lay behind him. He turned around and he was startled by what he saw: the figure of Raikou was lighting his room.
The "doll" was identical to the legendary pokemon including all details: it looked like a tiger with two long teeth and a black shield on the upper side of it's face along with a blue star on his nose. What stood out was his blue lightning shaped tail and long purple hair. It had a yellow coat with black markings.
The light emanated from the doll was formed by an electric aura around his body. Suddenly that light begun to waning and he could see it more clearly: the pokemon seemed to be alive and it even blinked regularly while the blond boy stared at him with both eyes. The boy stood up quickly, realizing what was happening, he went to the window as he watched with terror.
-Naruto Namikaze... -His voice was powerful, a voice that took some of the boy fear. It was strong yes, but also comforting. The blond approached slowly as the pokemon did the same, he found almost face to face and he got lost in the strange eyes of the figure. It looked like he was smiling as he was inviting the boy to touch him. For some reason, Naruto knew he had to do it.
-...At last I've found you -Raikou said while Naruto was gently petting him. Suddenly the room vanished in front of his eyes and the darkness covered his sight.
He awoke startled, the apparent dream was nothing more than that.
-I must stop eating Ramen before sleep, that was too real'ttebayo -said softly as he slowly dressed. He glanced at his watch and he realized that it were just 7am so he had an hour before visiting Professor Oak.
He walked into the kitchen of the small house as he dodged clothes thrown everywhere. When he arrived there he sat at the table. A delicious breakfast lay on it with a little note. The boy took it with both hands as his stomach growled loudly.
Naruto:
I came earlier than yesterday and I've prepared your favorite breakfast, you have to be strong for your journey and to train your new pokemon.
By the way, Ash doesn't want that you arrive late as it has a request to make you when you get your first pokemon..
Fondly, Delia Ketchum.
The mother of his best friend was like his mother too, she was the only woman from Pallet Town who visited him with Ash when she had the opportunity. Of course that was because Mrs. Ketchum had good relations with the deceased parents of Naruto and she also took care of him for a while. When he was ten years old he decided to move to the house of Kushina and Minato to live by his own.
Now he was twelve and he would became a Pokemon Master. He pondered over breakfast which pokemon would have to choose, undoubtedly he should take Charmander because it was the most powerful of the three. Then he would capture some electric pokemon when he get the chance, obviously they were his favorite.
The mansion of the professor loomed with it's appearance, he watched to the right side and he could notice an extense field where various kinds of pokemon were living in harmony.
He turned to look at the entrance gate: no one was there, something really weird. He deduced that perhaps he arrived too early and that was perfect: he would have the best pokemon to himself.
He entered by the big door and he went directly to the laboratory because he had often appreciated the interior of the house.
-¡Professor! -he called as he entered the place but he got no response.
He admired the various computers with pictures and specifications of each pokemon and all the notes lying on the desks of the laboratory. He recognized an adjacent door leading to the room where the professor kept all the Pokeballs and Pokemon that trainers should have. He walked inside and he found everything as he remembered, on a pillar of its size almost three Pokeballs were lying forming a perfect triangle between them.
He walked over and carefully observed the pokeballs, within one of them was his first pokemon.
-Naruto? do you have any idea of what time is it? -asked surprised. The blond turned around to meet the most important pokemon researcher of the area- I thought you weren't coming ...
-Don't worry professor, I have come early to choose my pokemon -Naruto said smiling. Oak shook his head in disappointment.
-If you call early at 10am... -He said looking at his watch. The boy looked confused.
-What?, but my watch...
-I'm sorry Naruto, i don't have any pokemon for now -He said sighing sadly, Naruto was a really promising boy. The boy noted then that his clock had stopped at 7AM.
-But what happened with Ash and Gary? -He asked as his heart skipped a beat. He needed a pokemon or he would have to wait two long years for another chance.
-Although Ash had arrived late he could get a Pikachu, my grandson has already left -Replied confirming the worst fears of Naruto. He could not wait again, the boy wanted to leave immediately so he devised a dangerous plan.
-I guess you should have my Pokedex and some Pokeballs for me, can i have a look at them? -he asked gently trying to sound sad. Oak immediately fell into his trap, he liked that boy and he would never have suspected from him.
-Of course you can, here you go -he held out both things and the blond took them gently. He activated it and he could see his face on the screen for a moment, then it faded- i had them prepared for you, but because of this incident i...
-Could i try it with a pokemon of your garden?, i always wanted to know how it works -he invented that excuse because Oak would catch him if he escape from the laboratory. He knew that his victory was guaranteed in a open field.
-Okay, I think that there will be no problem -replied doubtfully, Naruto nodded and together with the professor left the laboratory.
Various Pokemon were running happily in the fields, each one of them was in different places separated only by wooden fences. There were areas for Water, Fire, Grass, Rock and Electric types.
They were in the area of electric pokemon as a request of Naruto. The Tauros grazed peacefully without knowing that a few meters from them Oak and Naruto were looking in their direction.
-Now you must activate it and she will give a brief explanation of them -said Oak who was a few yards behind Naruto. The blond nodded and he did as the professor said, with a "bip" the screen showed him the picture of a normal Tauros, then a explanation followed it.
-"Tauros. A wild bull Pokémon. When he hits himself with his three tails, his attack is a powerful destructive force" -after that description the screen went black again and Naruto closed his Pokedex.
He stood a moment, waiting for the right time to complete his plan. He felt a few steps behind him and he turned around to acknowledge that Professor Oak was approaching.
-And this is how your Pokedex works, it's really easy don't you think? -The boy nodded smiling but in one second he lost his fake smile and he set his sight on a point behind the professor, then he made a scared face.
-Professor beware! -the blond shouted and Oak turned around expecting to see an angry Tauros, but there wasn't nothing.
-Is this some kind of joke? -he asked as he returned his gaze to the blond, but he didn't found him. He raised his eyes and he was able to note that the boy ran with great speed through the streets of Pallet Town- Naruto get back here! -exclamó tratando en vano de alcanzarlo: shouted trying to reach him in vain: he didn't do exercise from long ago but the Namikaze was a great runner.
He ran to his house, entered it and he took the backpack he had prepared for the trip. Then he closed the door and he ran away from his house, he knew that he must hurry: the professor won't give up, he will catch him.
-Hey! Professor! -the man stoped from running and he turned around to find Ash Ketchum. The boy walked towards him with his pikachu on his shoulder- What's wrong? -asked curiosly, Oak was panting for the effort.
-It's Naruto, he stole some pokeballs and a Pokedex. I'm trying to find him but he is too fast for me -Oak said looking in all directions. Ash didn't believe how could his best friend did something like that.
-But why?, he can't be...
-I was surprised too, but he arrived late to my laboratory and i suppose that he got angry for his own mistake -explained as the Ketchum keep his look at him with confusion in his face- in any case, he must have fled to the forest.
-I... I wanted a duel with Naruto, I was so happy for him... -the sad expression in the face of the boy make Oak sigh, he made a decision when he hear those words.
-Okay, I won't report him, I'll let him continue his journey -said the professor. Ash smiled, his best friend will have his dream fulfilled.
-Professor? -asked gently while Pikachu was playing with his hat. Oak smiled at him waiting for his question- a few minutes ago i saw a strange pokemon.
-How it was his appearance? -asked curiosly.
-It was like a dog, with yellow coat and a rare tail -described Ash trying to remember the aspect of the animal. Oak took his chin with his right hand while he was thinking about it.
-Interesting, If your information is correct, it could be Raikou. He is one of the three legendary dogs -explained the professor. Ash and Pikachu looked at each other surprised- what intrigues me is why he would come to Pallet Town, he doesn't like humans. Unless...
-Unless what?
-...The prophecy. Maybe his trainer finally arrived -Ash was more confused than before as so Pikachu too.
-Huh, i don't understand.
-Relax Ash, i will explain you everything in my lab. Come with me.
A few days had passed from "the great day". Ash had met a girl named Misty who was now traveling with him and Pikachu.
-Come on misty, we must go to Silver City. There I will win the medal Rock, don't you think Pikachu? -asked the boy while the redhead girl looked angry.
-¡Pika Pika! -replied smiling. Though it had been a few days since he left Pallet Town Pikachu and him were good friends.
-Ash Ketchum you must return my bike first! -Misty indicated reminding the incident for the third time in the day.
-I know, I promise I'll buy you one when I can -answered with fear. The girl sighed in resignation, she knew that Ash hadn't money to pay it.
-Well, we're almost... Ah! -shouted when he and misty fell in a hole. Pikachu managed to evade the fall.
-Who could have done something like this? -asked Misty painfully, Ash shook his head confused. He didn't know anyone capable of doing that. Helping each other they were able to escape the hole, they relaxed a moment because they had found quite difficult the ascension.
-Prepare for trouble!
-Make it double!
He knew those voices already from an incident occurred in the pokemon center of Green Town.
-Not again... -Ash said sighing. Pikachu got on his shoulder to ward off the intruders.
-To protect the world from devastation!
-To unite all peoples within our nation!
-To denounce the evils of truth and love!
-To extend our reach to the stars above!
-Jessie! -cried the woman leaping in front of the boys. She had a white uniform with a big "R" on her chest and a long pink hair.
-James! -a man did the same that her, he had unusual appearance: he was tall, with short blue hair, stuck out a tuft of hair on his forehead and green eyes. James had the same uniform that his partner.
-Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!
-Surrender now or prepare to fight!
-That's right! -a pokemon jumped in front of them, it was like a cat with long whiskers and an amulet on his forehead. The most amazing thing was that Meowth could talk like any normal human being.
-Why you don't leave us alone? -Misty asked in annoyance. Jessie laughed loudly.
-As long as you have your Pikachu with you we will not let you escape! -said James with a evil smile on his face.
-Looks like we must fight. Let's go pikachu!
He walked calmly through the forest path as he looked in all directions in search of some pokemon to catch. Suddenly, something fell in front of him and made a small hole in the ground.
-We have been defeated again -Jessie said disappointed.
-The boss will not like it... -Meowth indicated worried about of what awaits them. Suddenly they raised the sight and, when they noted that Naruto was watching them curiously, they stood up immediately.
-Prepare for...!
-Maybe we shouldn't say the slogan and simply capture his pokemon -James wisely resolved. His companions nodded agreeing with him.
-You heard the man, give us all your pokemon! -Meowth exclaimed threatening. Naruto was surprised that the cat could talk but he didn't ask about that.
-I have none, now if you'll excuse me... -the boy walked quietly going on between them. Both Jessie and James looked each other confused.
-What? You're not a pokemon trainer? -Jessie asked surprised- But I see a Pokedex in your pocket... -she said pointing the device. Naruto turned around slowly.
-i have stolen it from Professor Oak -confessed without a hint of shame. The three looked impressed.
-Really?, is really incredible that a twelve year old boy was able to accomplish what Team Rocket has never been able to do -Meowth said suspecting of the boy. The blond looked to the cat with a boring expression on his face.
-Bah, if you don't believe me you can go to the nearest town. Probably Oak should have put a warrant of capture for me -Naruto said further convincing Jessie and James. Meowth began to doubt his own words.
-What's your name? -Jessie asked curiosly- i'm Jessie, he is James and finally is Meowth -he said pointing herself first and then to others.
-Naruto, Naruto Namikaze -the blond answered.
-I like you boy, don't you like to join our team? -asked James convinced of the ability of Naruto. The Namikaze thought it for a moment.
-What can i receive if I do?
-You could catch your first pokemon, if your words are true you can get any that you...
-I want an electric one, i will not accept another -Naruto interrupted. Jessie and James smiled at the same time.
Maybe if the boy can prove his worth he could catch Pikachu for them.
-All right, you are in -Said James.
-But the boss must approve him before...! -a blow to the head of Meowth silenced him immediately. Jessie withdrew his fist from the head of the cat and then she smiled at the boy.
-You will have your own uniform in no time! -said the smiling woman- Welcome to the Team Rocket!
-Hinata-chan what are you doing? -the dark-haired boy asked as he sat next to her in the highest tier.
The girl was watching the moon, her white eyes mingled with it. Sasuke found himself lost a moment in the girl figure.
Hinata Hyuga had a singular appearance: dark blue hair, white skin and white eyes. She wore a cream-colored hood, a jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and fur around his cuffs, hem and blue trousers. Her hair came halfway her back, with a fringe which hid her forehead (A/N i know that Hinata's hair it's don't like this when she had twelve years, but i decided to do this way to make it more cute)
-The moon reminds me of Naruto-kun, where do you think he will be now? -asked the girl without turning to see him. The boy focused his attention on the girl words as he turned to watch the Moon too.
-Hum, two years have passed since that day. Surely he would have his own pokemon by now -the Uchiha said to make his best friend happy.
-I hope we can see him someday...
-Don't worry, I know that he will compete for the 8 medals and he will come up here! -cried Sasuke unconvinced of his words. The girl turned her head and smiled sweetly to him.
Uchiha Sasuke was a light-skinned boy with black hair and onyx eyes up to the chin. His hair was spiky in the back with two strands hanging from both sides of the face. He wore a blue shirt, short-sleeved turtleneck and Fan, Uchiha symbol on the back and white arm warmers along with white shorts.
-Arigato Sasuke-kun -she thanked and embraced him softly. The Uchiha knew he had the courage to do it, it was the perfect time.
-Listen Hinata-chan I must tell you something -said the dark-haired boy blushing for the innocent look that Hinata was giving to him- well, I... you are...
-Sorry to ruin your moment Sasuke but something... unusual has happened -a voice behind Sasuke stopped him. They turned around to meet their pokemon.
-Don't worry Entei, just tell me what happened -Sasuke asked softly, Hinata nodded worried.
-I'd better tell them, it's okay Hinata? -asked another pokemon approaching both Pokemon Masters.
-Hai Suicune-san -replied the young Hyuga with respect. Suicune nodded, then looked at Entei and both decided to continue.
-The user of Raikou appeared and ...
-Say no more Entei, is Naruto right? I knew that his love from electric pokemon was for some reason -guessed Sasuke, Hinata looked hopeful at Suicune.
-It's true Hinata, his name is Naruto Namikaze -concluded Suicune. the girl smiled widely, she knew the prophecy and now Naruto would have to travel with them.
-Unfortunately, Raikou had showed himself to Naruto only a moment. Now he would have to abandon the wrong path or Raikou can't be his pokemon -Entei said. Both Sasuke and Hinata looked confused.
-¿The Wrong Path? -they asked in unison. Both pokemon nodded worried.
-Yes, we know that he has joined the Team Rocket.
