Project Maelstrom
Yo~ hi everyone, Eren here and right now, I have a serious block to MCB so I went to scrub my gallery and BOOM. Instant idea. Honestly though, it's something that I've been contemplating doing for a while now but scrubbing those bannisters just got my juices flowing for some reason XD
Anyway, this is basically a Naru/Poke crossover where Shikamaru, Gaara and Naruto are all Poke/Human hybrids that were the result of experiments carried out by Team Rocket. This is going to be fun to write and create since I don't have to do too much concerning planning. So, enjoy~~
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or Naruto but I do own a special edition Shiny Giratina doll. That counts, right?

January/XX/XX – Project Maelstrom Begin.
Project Maelstrom, the first of its kind, a hybrid born and genetically engineered to be the sole force that is capable of stopping and/or destroying Project Mew2.
Subject is the sole survivor of the Namikaze purge and its DNA is beyond perfect for this type of experiment. Subject is currently one year old and experimentation will begin promptly in February when scans show physical capability of supporting the DNA of the following Pokemon; Lucario, Zoroark and Gallade.
Until then, all medical units will ensure that the subject is in full health so experimentation can begin on time.
February/XX/XX – Experiments and Progress
-Today was the first day of experiments. While the subject was asleep, Professor Long injected it with the Zoroark serum to ensure the easy transference between the different species. Subject seems to display slight discomfort but other than that, it is displaying no visible signs of instant side-effects.
-My previous observation was proven correct. Two weeks have passed and subject has been cleared as a perfectly healthy toddler. This is remarkable as Zoroark's DNA seems to have fully accepted and blended into Project Maelstrom's own genetic code causing a perfect blend of human/Poke characteristics. Maelstrom is now displaying the curiosity of a Zorua as well as sharing the tell-tale black and red hair. Maelstrom is also able to unconsciously transform into certain inanimate objects, such as clipboards and food. Maelstrom has also been able to copy speech patterns.
-It is the final week of February and the next sequence must be conducted. Once again, Maelstrom was placed under a drug's influence and we injected Gallade's genetic strip into the subject. Subject showed intense pain and when blood was extracted for testing, it was discovered that Gallade's DNA was slowly overpowering that of its human counterpart. Incubation required.
May/XX/XX – Genetic Coding Complete
-We were able to solve the problem after one month of constant caretaking. Project was injected with Lucario DNA and like with the Zoroark, Maelstrom accepted the DNA with no problem. This month subject will begin training to utilize the power it has been granted.
-Unfortunately, after sending my findings to the base, it was decided that Project Maelstrom along with its secret counterparts Shadow and Sandstream, will begin physical training at the age of four. Until then, behavioural analysis will be administered.
-After three weeks of spending time with Project Maelstrom, I've discovered that the child is extremely active and mischievous. Project also seems to be aging faster than a human child, though the reason for that is still undiscovered. Maelstrom has taken to calling me 'Master' after it was revealed that I was in charge of its creation. Observation required.
January/XX/ XZ – Physical Training begins
-Project Maelstrom is extremely excited at the notion of physical training. Maelstrom excels at hand-to-hand combat and after three weeks of sparring against masters of the art, the subject seems to have already mastered the administered style of fighting. Maelstrom is still extremely energetic and enjoys pranking the staff.
-Today, Maelstrom managed to get out of his habitat and released the Hawlucha that were being held for Lord Giovanni. It also managed to paint over the entire observation deck and scribble crude art over multiple surfaces. Punishment pending.
March/XX/XZ – Training Continues
-Maelstrom seems to thrive on attention. It enjoys having multiple parties participating in spars and it enjoys being around other Pokemon on the floor. Maelstrom has also displayed the ability to make comrades out of just about everyone and thing on the floor. Close up observation no longer required.
October/XX/XZ – Maelstrom's Recoding
-Project Maelstrom's infinite energy is proving to be difficult to handle. Due to it already being able to transform and fight as well as control things around it, Maelstrom often trains and has become extremely adept in using its power. It is now five years of age, physically ten. Maelstrom's stamina causes problems; however, as it hardly ever gets tired and if it were to exhaust itself, it would destroy its habitat. The decision is to recode Maelstrom's DNA so it either has less stamina or a less energetic personality.
December/XX/XZ – Backlash
-Project Maelstrom's body violently rejected the Slaking serum. It is now extremely ill and is incapable of movement. Its blood is also now a slightly bluish grey colour as it seems to be attempting to recover. Man-made medicines worsen the reaction and Maelstrom now psychically attacks any and all professors and nurses that enter its habitat. The death toll thus far is 27.
-Projects Shadow and Sandstream were deployed to exterminate Project Maelstrom, however, something unbelievable happened. Both Shadow and Sandstream healed and repaired Project Maelstrom. Thus it was discovered that all three projects must be kept together. Re-incubation and mental flush required.
August/XX/YA- Permanent Recoding
-Project Mew2 is now close to completion and as such, Projects Maelstrom, Sandstream and Shadow are now minor projects to be handled by Professor Jonathon Sui-Feng. My last job as the overseer of the Projects was to permanently re-code Maelstrom's DNA using the doses of the newly acquired Darkrai and Salamence serums.
-Serums were administered while Maelstrom was still conscious as punishment for another 'boredom-reducing prank'. Maelstrom shows extreme hostility to all staff and refuses anyone with the exception of Project Sandstream. Maelstrom has also destroyed all inner base cameras making his habitat the only un-observed habitat on the island.
-Maelstrom's personality has now become solemn. Recoding success.
October/XX/YA – Naruto, Shikamaru and Gaara RELEASED.

"Mr Briney! We're here for that ride you promised us!" A tall blonde haired teen shouted as he ran into a small, quaint house sitting at the edge of a wooden pier. He had a single red streak running through his shoulder length hair and kept the bangs out of his face with the use of many multi-coloured hairpins. He had on a blue and black outfit which consisted of a black muscle shirt and a blue high-collared jacket above it. His white jeans and blue boots completed the ensemble as well as the various braces on his right arm as well as the strangely rainbow-coloured orb that was placed into a bracelet on his left wrist. His smile was infectious and his six whisker-like birthmarks (three on each cheek) gave the impression of a fox-like individual. His name was Namikaze Naruto.
"Naruto, calm down. We have, like, forever before we have to get to Sinnoh." A lazy drawl followed behind him. The voice was a bit like liquid honey, sweet and rich. The kind of voice one received after years of strenuous singing and vocal training. The owner of the voice was a taller raven teen with a cigarette hanging limply between his lips. He was slouching slightly, the posture of someone who seemed to prefer sitting around and doing nothing over whatever-the-hell his friends were dragging him to do this time around. His narrow silver eyes were at half-mast as he slowly and deliberately strolled into the quaint seaside house. This was Nara Shikamaru.
"You keep quiet. You're just pissed because you didn't get to finish your nap." A short red-head finished the trio. He wore a serene expression however, due to the thick, red-tinted shades he wore, it was impossible to tell his eye colour. He had a tattoo of the kanji for love over his left eye and wore a simple sleeve-less white vest with a Mareep-wool lined green jacket over it. He also wore black skinny jeans and black and blue speckled flip-flops to finish his outfit. He was known simply as Gaara.
"Well, well, you children are so filled of energy, yes! Peeko and I were a bit worried that you had forgotten about the trip!" Mr Briney was an elderly man with a large sunhat. His plaid board shorts and female Wingull perched upon his head were the most dynamic things about him.
Naruto smiled, "Never, gramps! It's way too important to get to Sinnoh. There's no way that we'd forget something like this, right Gaara, Shikamaru?"
His friends stared in deadpan at him causing him to sweatdrop slightly. Okay, well, perhaps he did, kinda force them to accompany him to the coldest region in the world, but they had gotten to choose before him. It wasn't his fault that Shikamaru got lazier with the snow or that Gaara disliked the cold.
"Actually, Mr Briney, how about you just take Naruto over there while me and Gaara chill out with Peeko until you get back?" Shikamaru leaned against the doorpost while Gaara nodded in agreement.
The old man chuckled slightly before he walked outside and to the huge ship that was anchored to the pier. The S.S Tidal was a beautiful ship and it was Mr Briney's pride and joy. Peeko flew off of his hat and took her place proudly at the mast of the ship while Mr Briney led the way inside of his ship with the three teens in tow. "The rules of the old girl are simple. Lay back and have fun!"
Naruto smiled while Gaara slapped the back of his head, still slightly angry at his brother for his choice of region. Shikamaru sighed, "Troublesome. This entire thing is just gonna be one troublesome disaster."

Sinnoh Region: Snowpoint City: 10: 30 p.m.
XxXxXXxXxXxXxXXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXXxXxXxXxXxXx
The S.S Tidal arrived in Snowpoint City three weeks latermuch to the chagrin of its three passengers. Mr Briney had basically kicked them out of the ship because, evidently, he despised the cold weather as well. The only person who was dressed even slightly for the evening hailstorm was Gaara and the red-head was extremely smug about it. The duo trudged through the ankle-deep snow slowly since Shikamaru insisted that they carry him because he was 'most likely to die from hypothermia' which they didn't doubt. Seriously, half his makeup was Slaking, he had to inherit his lazy from somewhere although Gaara betted that his mother was just into Pokephillia.
At the wonderful time of thirteen past midnight, the snow-ridden, half frozen, just-about-ready-to-drop-from-their-journey duo arrived at the Pokecenter. Naruto actually couldn't believe it took them two hours to get from the pier to the Pokecenter especially since they were in the same city but Gaara blamed it on the fact that they had a passed out Shikamaru on their backs in addition to their travelling supplies.
"Welcome to the Pokecenter! How may I help you?" A cheery Nurse Joy was ignored as the tired trio trudged through the doors. At the burst of over -5 degree heat hit them Naruto and Gaara perked up. Immediately Naruto chuckled and scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "I guess the cold is a bit too much, huh?"
Gaara's glare was suddenly much worse than any blizzard.
They hauled Shikamaru to a couch and threw him haphazardly onto it before taking his two occupied Pokeballs out of his belt as well as their own Pokeballs and walking to the back of the spacious waiting room. Nurse Joy looked sorta annoyed but she put on her award winning smile and asked her questions again. Naruto put in the order for one room and placed the seven Pokeballs on the desk also requesting a check-up for his and his friends Pokemon. She smiled jovially and asked if they needed a wheelchair for their friend that was on the couch. Naruto smirked and Gaara cracked a small, devious smile, "Actually Nurse Joy, leave him to us."
The next morning Shikamaru awoke upright and completely covered in canned snow with sunglasses on is head as well as three Sitrus Berries on his blazer. The words 'Shika the Snowman' were painted on a sign next to him in bright orange acrylic paint as well as an arrow pointing towards a hat that sat next to him. Shikamaru closed his eyes and sighed before calmly getting up and stretching out the kinks in his body. He limped into the Bunker area of the centre and made his way to Naruto's room, systematically checking each room for the blonde-haired teen.
He eventually found both him and Gaara sleeping peacefully in Room 206 and he smirked before unravelling the wire he usually kept in his back pocket.
"This is troublesome. Oh well."

Well that was basically an introduction to the world of Project Maelstrom. At this point in time, it's gonna be really happy and stuff but from the next chapter and onwards, we're gonna start getting serious. I'm not sure if I want to make this Romance or not because of the fact that there wouldn't really be a place for that but in any case you guys could always vote for who you want to be with them. I mean, no one's going to get a harem because I don't care enough to make something like that happen but I could understand if you wanted them to have girlfriends. However, I'm not going to be adding anyone else into their little travelling group so don't even ask. Here's a list of the girls that I think could work romantically with this plot.
Candice
Dawn
Cynthia
Fantina
OC
Gardenia
Hinata
Sakura
Temari
That's it. I'm actually going to have more Naruto characters in this so yeah. Anyway, you can vote by putting the girl's name and who you want her to be with next to her. I was considering yaoi but I know that people are pretty iffy about that and so I crossed it. However, if you want it to be like a side yaoi pairing than I'm fine with that. That's all from me now, and btw, this is what me writing with Writer's block is like.

Project Maelstrom Database: Information on Project Shadow
Project Shadow a.k.a. Nara Shikamaru is three years older than Project Maelstrom and was the ACTUAL first project to be created for the purpose of destroying Mew2. However, the body of the young Nara rejected all outside DNA until the age of four when his body accepted the DNA of an alpha male Gengar. His genetic makeup at the physical age of twenty is ¼ human, ¼ Metagross, ¼ Alakazam and ¼ Gengar. In his legitimate form, Shikamaru has a Metagross-like covering over his body as well as a purple Kadabra's tail. He is calculating and extremely adaptable and like his two brethren has a bit of a bloodthirsty streak. His favorite Pokemon is Eevee and his favorite type is Dark.
Fun fact: It's believed that he's actually half Slaking or that there was a mishap with his re-coding due to his extremely Truant-like nature. Originally, he was thought to be made a Snorlax but he doesn't have a huge appetite so…
