Chapter 1

Beginning of a Journey

"Naruto, you need to wake up!" a voice yelled out.

Groaning as a head sticks up from under the sheets. A yellow blur comes rushing into the room and tackles Naruto.

"Kurama! Why did you rammed me?" questions Naruto.

Naruto sits up letting the light hit his unruly red hair. Rubbing his eyes to get the sleep out of them before fully opening them to show off his purple eyes. Scratching his cheek with three lines going across them he stares at Kurama, a Vulpix that is a Shiny. Bright yellow fur with six tails that are curled at the ends.

"Vul!"

"Yeah! Yeah!" says Naruto as he gets up.

The redhead heads down stairs. He is greeted by his mother, Kushina Uzumaki. The same shade of red shines in the sunlight. She turns around and places a bag on the kitchen table.

"I have your bag all set. Spar clothe, foods, fresh water, Pokemon food, a money card with two thousand zeni, sleeping bag, and a tent." stated Kushina.

The reason for the bag and all of the supply's is because Naruto is starting his Pokemon Journey today. In the world Pokemon Journeys can begin when a person reaches the age of ten, but Kushina didn't let Naruto start on his journey till he was twelve. She went and gave him his first Pokemon which is Kurama.

"I want you to get ready to meet with Professor Oak and get your Pokedex. Kurama, Kyubi and Inari wants to see you before you go off." said Kushina.

Naruto heads back up stairs while Kurama runs outside. Naruto passes a glass case with different type of badges and trophies. There are pictures of Kushina when she is younger with six different Pokemon in each picture. Kushina Uzumaki was a name everyone in the whole world knew. Kushina was known for using her Ninetales, Kyubi and a unique battling style gave her the nickname Red Death for her long red hair. She went to every region and fought in every Pokemon League. She won several Pokemon Leagues and even fought and defeated members of the Elite Four in several different regions til she went and defeated the Champions of the Kanto and Johto Regions becoming the Champion for them both. Then she shocks the world when she gotten married and had a baby, but her happiness didn't last long. It was seven years ago when she found out that her husband Minato Namikaze was cheating on her. He learned why she was called the Red Death.

After getting divorcee, she was soon challenged by Lance the Dragon Pokemon Trainer. Her heart wasn't in the battle and lose to him losing both titles of Champion. After losing Kushina stopped battle and focus on raising her son, Naruto, who was originally a blonde, but dyed his hair the same shade of red as hers to forget her cheating husband. While raising Naruto Kushina took up breeding. She focus mostly on breeding Vulpixs and Eevees since her two prized Pokemon where Kyubi and Wave, her Vaporeon.

Kurama runs through the trees out back behind the Uzumaki Household. He came upon a small shrine. Sitting at the shrine is a Ninetales. The Ninetales is Kyubi, Kushina's first Pokemon that she was given. Kyubi is Kurama's mother since she was the one that laid Kurama's egg.

"Nine,"

"Vulpix."

Kyubi steps out of the way. Another Ninetales is laying on the shrine's steps. Unlike Kyubi, this Ninetales is old. Some of its fur is becoming gray with line underneath its eyes. This Ninetales is Inari, Mito Uzumaki's Ninetales, mother to Kushina. Inari also is Kyubi's mother.

"Nine Ninetales. Tales."

Kurama bows and runs off back to the house. When Kurama came back Naruto is all set and ready to go. A bright orange shirt with tan shorts and a pair of running shoes on. He grabs his bag that has seen better days. It is worn down over the years with a few holes and been resown so many times.

"Naruto, that bag is the same one that I used during my journey. So take care of it," says Kushina

"I know Kaa-san. I'll make you proud!" Naruto says while smiling brightly

Pitching his cheek, "You don't have to make me proud. You already did. Now come on, the others are waiting on us." says Kushina.

Leaving the house, they head down the road that leads to Professor Oak's lab. Kushina was born and raised in Pallet Town. After he divorcee she moved back to her old family home. It was the perfect house. Not too large, not too small, just right. The yard is big enough for all of her Pokemon to roam around and be lazy.

"Blissey!"

"Bellflower, how are you today?" asked Kushina

"Blissey!"

Bellflower helps Kushina with breeding and handles with the Pokemon Eggs and the newly hatched Pokemon. She even helped to look after Naruto when he was younger.

"Is that a new egg?" asks Kushina

"Blissey!"

Bellfower takes the egg that she is carrying and holds it up to Kushina. The redhead gently places a hand on the warm egg. Feeling a small kick causes Kushina to giggle.

"My, this one will be hatching soon. Another Eevee running around will be good for Wave." says Kushina as she looks over to a small pond with a Vaporeon swimming around it, "I'll be back Bellflower, look after the place for me. And have Big Mama to feed the babies while I'm gone." ordered Kushina.

Since Kushina has been breeding Pokemon her Pokemon has been helping with taking care of the Pokemon Eggs, handling the baby Pokemon, and feed them. Big Mama, a Kangaskhan helps with feeding them, Wave helps gives them baths, and Heat End, a Magmortar makes sure that all the eggs are nice and warm. Red, a Scizor that protects the Pokemon Eggs and baby Pokemon from being stolen.

When the arrived at Professor Oak's lab there are several people waiting outside. Naruto notices that Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, and Grey Oak are there. He looks around trying to find where Ash is. He knows that Ash couldn't wait to get his first Pokemon and start on his journey.

"Where's Ash?" Naruto asked

"Hello, Naruto-kun," greeted Hinata.

Naruto and Hinata have been friends since they were little. Hinata has always been shy around Naruto. When they were little they used to play with some of the baby Pokemon. She also loved it when one of the Pokemon Eggs would hatched and see the new baby Pokemon.

"Hello, Hinata. How are you doing? And have you've seen Ash?" asked Naruto

"I'm doing fine. No, I haven't seen Ash. I know that Ash wanted to start his journey today along with all of us," says Hinata

"Hello, Mikoto, hello Saya." greeted Kushina.

Mikoto Uchiha is a childhood friend of Kushina and her rival. Mikoto always used Pokemon that were the opposite of her Pokemon. It didn't matter if it was type advantage or disadvantage so long as she had the opposite of hers. Since their rivalry was strong, they fought in just about every Pokemon League. Mikoto defeated a few of the Elite Four in different regions, but never did she ever defeated one of the Champions. Saya Hyuga is another childhood friend of Kushina, but she didn't battle for gyms or the Pokemon League; instead she became a coordinator. She was known for her beauty and flawless techniques. She won several Grand Festivals becoming a Top Coordinator.

"Hello Kushina. I see that Naruto is excited," says Saya

"Yes, he was so excited yesterday that he almost overslept. Do you know which Pokemon Hinata is going to choose, Saya?" asked Kushina

"She has her mind sent Bulbasaur. You know how she likes to press flowers. Hinata mind focus on Grass-type Pokemon," said Saya

"Sasuke wants a Charmander. Ever since Itachi gotten one, that's all he talks about getting," said Mikoto

"Where is Itachi? I figure he would be here for Sasuke," asked Kushina

"Itachi is in Sinnoh challenging one of the Elite Four there," answered Mikoto

"Why is he all the way over there? He won the Kanto Pokemon League, giving him the chance to challenge one of the Elite Four here," says Saya

"Itachi wants to find his own path. I think he just needs to find himself a nice girl and settle down. Give me grandchildren to spoil Itachi!" Mikoto yelled into the sky.

Over in Sinnoh, a chill goes down Itachi's spine and it was not from the cold winds from being so far up north.

"Sasuke, your mom is strange sometimes," stated Naruto.

Just like with Hinata, Sasuke has been friends with Naruto since they were little. Though they have a rivalry and fight just about over everything. And with Naruto getting Kurama two years ago let the redhead gain the lead for now.

"Dobe, your mom is just as strange. But anyway, why are you here? Don't you have your first Pokemon? Trying to get another?" Sasuke teases Naruto

"No, I came to get my Pokedex. I'm all sent and ready to go! What Pokemon are you going to choose?" asks Naruto

"Charmander of course! Fire-type Pokemon are the way to go. What about you? Are you going to focus on Fire-type Pokemon?" asks Sasuke.

Ever since Itachi got a Charmander and has focus on Fire-type Pokemon; he's been wanting to bet Itachi. Naruto and Sasuke have gotten in arguments about single-type Pokemon Trainers vs variation Pokemon Trainers.

"What about you Hinata? What Pokemon are you going to choose?" asks Naruto

"I- I'm going to c- choose Bulbasaur. What are you going to choose Grey?" asks Hinata

"Ah, that's an easy one," Grey says a smugly, "I'm going to choose Squirtle. They are the best of the three starter Pokemon."

Professor Oak walks outside, "Hello everyone! I can see that everyone is here to get there first Pokemon. Now if everyone will follow me, we'll get started." Professor Oak says before heading back inside his lab.

Everyone follows him into his lab. There are several different types of Pokemon inside along with piles of books on different Pokemon from different regions, habits, mating seasons, environment movement, and etc. They came to the many part of his lab with three different Pokeballs sitting and waiting on for them.

"Now all of you are old enough to begin your Pokemon Journeys and become something great. These three Pokeballs hold your first Pokemon that will be on your journey no matter how long. They will grow with you and become strong together. Ladies first," finish Professor Oak.

Hinata steps up. She looks at the Pokeballs and picks up the one with the symbol of a leaf on it. Tossing the Pokeball into the air, a flash of white energy comes out and a Bulbasaur appears in front of her.

"Bulbasaur!"

"Hello there! My name is Hinata," greeted Hinata

"Bulb!"

"I'm going to name you… Shirayuri. Do like that name?" asks Hinata

"Bulb. Bulbasaur!"

"Ah, you chose Bulbasaur, Hinata. Bulbasaurs are easy to tame and are prefect for first time Trainers. And here is your Pokedex, Hinata." says Profess Oak as he gives Hinata her Pokedex, "Next up, Sasuke."

Sasuke walks over to the last two Pokeballs. Finding the one with the symbol of a flame on it. Picks it up and toss the Pokeball into the air, a flash of white comes out and a Charmander appears in front of him.

"Char! Char!"

"Hn! You will do just nicely. Your name is Hono," stated Sasuke

"Ah, Charmander. Charmander tests a Trainer when they evolve into Charmeleon. I hope you have a plan for when Hono evolves into Charmeleon, Sasuke," said Proessor Oak

"I'll think of something when he evolves, but for not I'll just focus as he is now," answered back Sasuke

"Good. Here is your Pokedex," handing Sasuke his Pokedex, "Grey, now it's your turn."

Grey picks up the last Pokeball and toss it into the air, a flash of white comes out and a Squirtle appears in front of him.

"Squirtle!"

"Here is your Pokedex, Grey. And here is yours Naruto," Professor Oak says while handing Grey and Naruto their Pokedex, "Now that you have your Pokemon, I welcome you to the World of Pokemon!"

The new Pokemon Trainers go outside to finally begin their journey.

"Here you go, Hinata." Saya hands her daughter two bags, "I want you to call me when you get to Viridian City. The first Pokemon Contest is at Cerulean City,"

"I will make sure to call you when I arrive at Viridian City. And thank you for telling me where I'll have my first Pokemon Contest," says Hinata

"Hmm, I might come up there to see my little girl in her first Contest! And make sure to get Naruto to notice you!" Saya says with a creepy gleam in her eyes

"H- Hai!" mutters a blushing Hinata

"Naruto, I want you to try your very best and show the world how great you are! Don't just capture a Pokemon just because you want it, capture it to become your friend," says Kushina

"I know that Kaa-san! I'll become the best out there and show the world the second coming of Red Death!" Naruto proudly says to his mom

"Sasuke, I want you to follow your own path, and not follow your brothers'. Not all Pokemon Journeys are the same," said Mikoto

"Hn!" nodding his head before taking off.

Naruto left and heads down the road, "Wait! Naruto-kun!" turning around to see Hinata running towards him.

"What's up Hinata?"

"I- I was wondering if you want to travel together?" asks Hinata who is slightly out of breath

Smiling brightly, "Sure Hinata! Travel together will be more fun then traveling alone!" said Naruto.

And so begins a journey that will rock the world in the coming years.
