A/N: Pokémon, what an odd concept. Ninja's with pokemon. And our star is Rock Lee! GO LEE! Yeah, odd story line that goes however I want. So let's get on with it!
Copyright: I don't own the characters or pokemon or anything like that.
Lee raced off after hitting his alarm clock and getting dressed. He grabbed his bag and ran to professor Rowan's lab. Unfortunately, he lives in Twinleaf town. He had to run fast seeing as how his bike was destroyed yesterday. By the time he busted through the door in Sandgem town, he was covered in sweat with a red face.
"Prof…Prof…Professor Rowan! I am ready for my pokemon!" Neji scoffed and Tenten giggled. They lived in Twinleaf, but stayed overnight. They were rested and ready, also holding pokeballs. "Wh-What!? You already got pokemon!? What are they!?" Tenten and Neji threw their balls. A Chimchar came from Tenten's and a Piplup from Neji's. No! Those were my first two choices! I should have stayed overnight too…
"Sorry Lee. Tenten and I will be leaving." Neji said, tapping his sweat band. His short sleeved blue sweater and black shorts made him look stronger. Piplup grabbed Neji's sneaker and played with the laces.
"Aww! Neji! Isn't that cute?" Tenten said while Chimchar crawled onto her shoulder.
"Chimchar!" It said happily sitting in Tenten's pink hood. Lee stood up and brushed the dust from his bright green shorts and tan pants. He looked to Professor Rowan.
"May I please just have my Turtwig?" Lee asked sweetly. Rowan shook his head. Lee's eye's bulged.
"What!?" Lee shouted. Neji and Tenten started to laugh.
"You're too late. As I told you yesterday, it is not your destiny to have a pokemon. You have no skills in it." Neji scoffed. Lee looked to Rowan.
"Sorry, Neji's right. Turtwig was taken." He said. Lee felt in intense sadness begin to fill his body.
"N-No…I-I tried getting here on time." Lee said with a tear rolling down his cheek. Rowan began to laugh. Neji, Tenten, and Lee looked to him.
"I said you couldn't have Turtwig. I never intended you to have any of these three Lee." The three kids were confused. Lee especially. He wiped the tears off his face and looked at the professor in confusion. Professor Rowan turned and selected a pokeball off the wall with a silver star on it. Lee watched as he sat the ball in his hands.
"It's a pokemon I wish for you to raise, It refuses to respond well to any of my assistants. Not even Hinata and all pokemon get along with her." Lee looked over Rowan's shoulder to his shy assistant; Lee knew Professor Rowan gave her a Buizel as her first pokemon.
"Well send it out Lee!" Tenten demanded, waking up Chimchar who was taking a nap in her hood. Lee nodded.
"Pokemon! I choose you!" He threw the pokeball and it opened. A bright flash lit off and the next thing Lee saw was a Brown bunny with fluff from the waist down and on it's ears…along with slightly bigger eye brows then most Buneary have.
"Buneary?" It said cutely. Lee's eyes shined with Happiness, Tenten and Hinata sighed because of it's cuteness, Neji began to laugh along with his Piplup.
"You got a Bunny? See, you can't have a useful pokemon." Neji laughed.
"Piplup pip!" Piplup mocked in that language only Pokemon know. Buneary and Lee made the same angry face.
"You do not think we could win against you!?" Lee said and Buneary started yelling in it's pokemon language.
"Fine, let's battle." Neji said. Piplup eyed Buneary, it looked to Lee.
"Well, do you want to battle Buneary? I have never beaten Neji in a battle…but those were not my…" Lee trailed off, Buneary as he was told was a bit emotional, and it might not take well to being called his pokemon. "I have never fought along side a pokemon like you." Buneary's eyes glittered in a nonexistent pretty light that shined from no where. It never heard a human say it would fight along side with his pokemon, heck, he didn't even call Buneary his!
"Buneary!" Buneary turned to Lee and nodded.
"Yes! We can beat Neji if we work together!" Buneary struck a fighting pose and stared at Piplup. Then Lee remembered.
"I do not know any of Buneary's moves…" Everyone did that anime collapse thing when someone says something stupid. That's when Rowan handed Lee a bright Green pokedex.
"Use it, it will tell you the moves of your pokemon." Lee nodded and turned toward Buneary and looked it up.
'Buneary: Rabbit pokemon: When it senses danger, it perks up it's ears. On cold nights, it sleeps with it's head tucked into it's fur.' Lee smiled. He did think Buneary was cute, though not a pokemon most boys have, especially after it evolves. Though Hue Heffner did have an evolved one. (A/N: Yes, name dropping is wrong. XD)
"It says your moves are pound, defense curl, endure, and…yes! You know thunderbolt!?" Buneary smiled and nodded. "How can it know that move though?" Lee pondered allowed, forgetting everything he's learned in school.
"Normal type pokemon have a thing with learning almost any type! It must have just been something it picked up like ice beam or solarbeam!" Tenten explained, Lee rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment for forgetting a basic normal type feature.
"Alright then, let's start." Neji said with a bit of worry in his voice after learning Lee's move set, but that was also an advantage. Lee yelled out his move set. No surprises. "Piplup! Bubble!" Piplup obeyed Neji's orders and shot bubbles at Buneary.
"Defense curl!" Lee shouted, Buneary tucked in it's ears and hardened. The bubbles hit, but Buneary was fine.
"Alright! Thunderbolt!" Neji was expecting that. As Buneary charged he told Piplup-
"Ice beam!" Yeah that. The two moves launched at the same time and smacked in mid air and gave for that famous pokemon move explosion thing. That got a bit of aftermath from it, but stood back up.
"Buneary! Are you ok?" Lee asked. Buneary nodded, and turned his head to smile at his trainer. Lee gave a thumbs up back.
"Piplup? Can you still go?" Neji asked, Piplup quickly nodded with out a whole lot of communication.
"Piplup, Brick Break!" Piplup nodded and it's right flipper began to glow. Lee couldn't think of anything to say. Buneary watched as Piplup came closer.
"B-B-BUNEARY!" As Lee heard Buneary's cry he remembered. I am his trainer now, he counts on me! I have to think on the draw like this!
"Endure!" Lee choked at the last minute, Buneary curled up as a hard blow hit Buneary.
"Buneary!" It winced in pain and fell on it's tail, but it wasn't down.
"Quick! Thunderbolt!" Buneary hit a fast and hard one while Piplup was still close.
"PIPLUP!" It cried and fell on it's face beat, and so did Buneary a second later.
"Buneary!" Lee got on his knees and cradled it in his arms.
"Piplup are you alright?" Neji said more calmly sitting besides Piplup and stroking it's back.
"That was a pretty intense fight for first day trainers." Tenten said, Chimchar was amazed at this thing called battling. It would be good at it, but Tenten was a coordinator, so it would have to wait. Lee still coddled Buneary. Buneary slowly opened his eyes.
"Buneary?" It said looking up at Lee. A giant grin crawled across Lee's face seeing Buneary open his eyes. He pulled the little rabbit to his chest.
"You did it! You fell after Piplup! You won! I am so proud of you!" Lee cheered holding Buneary. Buneary had as big a green as Lee.
"It's alright Piplup." Neji murmured after Piplup slowly sat up, Neji looked at his pokemon. "You recovered faster after those hits. We just have to work on building that up more." Piplup nodded, and then Neji returned it to the pokeball, as did Tenten with Chimchar. As soon as Buneary saw this it began to flail.
"Buneary! Buneary Buneary!" It yelled. Lee struggled to hold the flailing bunny.
"Calm down! Please! What is wrong with you!?" He shouted. Buneary smacked him a few times with his powerful coiled up ears. "Ouch!" Lee dropped Buneary and it turned and pouted. Lee crawled up to it.
"What's wrong with Buneary?" Tenten asked, putting Chimchar's ball on her special kind of pokeball holding belt. Neji started to snicker.
"What's wrong, it's realizing Lee's not a strong enough human to deserve it." Neji scoffed, prompting Lee to glare at him, then turn his attention back to his pissed off pokemon.
"Buneary? Did I do something?" Lee asked kindly, Buneary turned it's head again. Professor Rowan spoke up.
"Well, Lee actually got Buneary to battle, that's a first for this stubborn Rabbit." He glanced at Buneary who was glaring back at him. "But we always had a problem with getting it into the pokeball." He said. That's when Lee sat up. He suddenly had an epiphany.
"I got it! Buneary! You do not want to be in that pokeball do you?" Buneary looked to Lee. It had a 'what did you just say?' face. "I think you would rather walk around free eh? Would you like that? To just walk around with me?" Lee asked, sitting on his knees, hands in a fist resting on his thighs. Buneary looked at Lee with an 'I'm going to cry' face. It jumped into Lee's chest. The two shared youthful tears as waves and a sunset appeared behind them. Neji, Tenten, Hinata, and Rowan's jaw dropped.
"Yes! You never have to be in that pokeball again!" Lee cheered Buneary jumped onto Lee's back and held onto the back of his head.
"Buneary!" It cheered. The fur felt strange on the back of Lee's neck. Lee was ready to go.
"So, are we all traveling together?" Lee asked, turning to his two best friends from twinleaf. He thought it would be natural, seeing as how they all became trainers a bit later then expected. Neji huffed, Tenten giggled.
"Hardly, Tenten and I will be traveling together, she's doing contests and I'll be taking on the gym leaders like you. We're rivals, rivals don't travel together." Neji spat. Tenten looked confused and Lee and Buneary looked pissed.
"Neji, I thought we weren't traveling with Lee because we have to go back to twinleaf because we forgot our backpacks at home before we left!" Tenten exclaimed. Lee and Buneary put a hand over their mouths so not to giggle. Though they did a bad job of it.
"Be quiet." Neji blushed. Lee and Buneary stopped.
"Well, we best be leaving. Badges do not win themselves!" Lee exclaimed.
"Buneary!" Buneary cheered. The two waved good bye and ran out the door. They stood in the middle of Sandgem town. Buneary breathed in the smells of the outside; being cooped up in that lab was no fun. It perked up it's ears when it got a whiff of sea air. "Buneary!"
"You smell the sea huh…we have all the time. Why do we not go down there and you can walk around for a bit, recover from the battle before we head for Oreburg. Ok?" Lee asked. Buneary sat on Lee's head and hung it's head to look into Lee's eyes.
"BUNEARY!" It yelled happily, startling Lee and making him fall on his butt.
"I guess you really do want to. Ok! Let us look at the sea!" Lee ran off in that direction, back at the lab…
"Hinata, please tell me I gave Lee his pokeballs before he ran out the door." Professor Rowan asked. Hinata shook her head.
"Sorry sir, we both forgot." She stuttered. The professor scratched his chin.
"Hinata, he can't be far, go gives these to him…and stay with him."
"What!? Why!?" She cried, not wanting to go on a big journey like that.
"Hinata, you need the experience, besides, he obviously needs someone with him, and you want to be a great breeder right? You'll learn more with him then me." He said. Hinata looked at her feet. Professor Rowan grabbed her hand and gave her the pokeballs, round and cold in her hands.
"You can come back at anytime, but you'll enjoy it. You have two pokemon, you can catch more I believe in you." He said. Hinata blushed, grabbed her bag, and walked out the door. Meanwhile, Lee was watching Buneary jumping around on the sandy beach. Even Lee took off his shoes to feel the sand between his toes.
"Ahh, I have not been to a beach in ages. You had a good idea Buneary." He sighed, then stood up. "But I think it is about time we leave. We spent a little too much time here and we may have to spend the night on the route over." Lee lethargically said, staring at the clouds. Buneary would have turned to him, but it sunk into the sand.
"BUNEARY!" It yelled, making Lee jump to it's side, he giggled as he helped the young pokemon free of the sand trap. It clutched around his neck.
"Come now Buneary! It is just sand…maybe we should leave." Buneary looked to Lee and nodded, jumping down to walk besides Lee. Lee tied his sneakers back on and sat up. He began to travel back through the town with Buneary close to his side. As he got close to the town's exit to Jubilife, he saw Hinata looking around with a back pack and her sneakers untied, she stepped and was about to fall from tripping.
"Hinata!" Lee ran over and caught her before she fell, just in time. She turned to Lee and Blushed. She never expected the person she was looking for to run up and save her.
"Oh, Lee! I was just looking for you." She stuttered. Buneary hopped up and watched them. Lee sat Hinata on the ground and began tying her shoes.
"You should make sure your laces are on tight, otherwise you'll trip." Lee smiled and stood back up after finishing. Buneary hopped onto Lee's shoulder as he helped Hinata back up.
"Uh, Lee, you left the lab before Professor Rowan could give you these." She reached into her pocket and pulled out the pokeballs. She genteelly placed them in Lee's palms.
"Ah! The pokeballs! I forgot them!? What does that say about how well I will be as a trainer?" He asked allowed, Buneary started laughing and Hinata bowed her head.
"Lee, Professor Rowan asked if I could join you on your journey, if that's ok." She asked nervously. Lee chuckled.
'Of course it is ok! It is better then ok! You can help me be a better trainer! Right Buneary?" Buneary nodded. Hinata smiled and her cheeks turned pink. And so, the two young trainers began to walk up the route to Jubilife city…but unknown to them, someone was watching…
--"You think we should take that pokemon? It's just a baby Buneary. We could easily catch one. Why is that one so special?" Asked Itachi to Kisame.
"Believe me, I have no idea, all the boss said was that he wanted that Buneary and that other boy's Vulpix. He has some plan for them. What I don't know, but that being said, let's just get that rabbit and move on." Kisame hissed.
"A bunny and a fox!? Why would our big strong leader need that!?" The team's pokemon said, it was a Stunky. A talking one. Pretty cool eh? Bad thing for our heroes though. What are they doing you ask? Lee is faced to face with a Shinx.
"You will be my first pokemon! I remember what to do…uh…weaken it first! That is right! Buneary! Pound!" Buneary jumped and pounded on the cat. "Got ya!" Lee threw the pokeball…it pinged, it pinged again…then it escaped and ran off.
"What!? It can not do that! It pinged! IT PINGED!" Lee exclaimed. Buneary dropped it's ears and pulled it's tan fluff up to cover it's eyes.
"Lee, your still just a beginning trainer, relax. It's always hard the first time! It will get easier." Lee glanced at her.
"Oh yeah? How many pokemon do you have?" Lee asked coldly.
"Two, my Buizel and a Ratatta." She mumbled while twiddling her fingers. Lee dropped his head lower. Buneary walked over and nudged his shoe.
"Buneary bun!" He cutely reassured Lee. Lee picked him up and placed him on his head.
"It is alright! That was great battling! Now we just have to work with the pokeballs…" Lee held the metallic capsule ball. He couldn't wait to feel the rush of capturing a pokemon. "Hinata! How did it feel when you captured Ratatta?" Lee asked, he and Buneary looked to the shy girl. She blushed.
"Well, actually, Ratatta was abandoned at the lab and was hurt badly, so I cleaned him up and took him in and soon when he was all better…he just didn't want to leave. So He just climbed into my pokeball. See, I really want to be a breeder…and…that's about it." Lee crossed his arms and made a thinking face, Buneary copied him.
"Sounds good I guess…though I would want to battle my first." Lee leaned back and Buneary fell off his shoulder. Lee looked back to make sure it was ok, just to say it was none to happy.
"BUNEARY!"
"I am sorry! I did not mean too! You are just so new and I forgot I could not do that anymore!" Buneary charged up electricity, then shocked Lee. Lee collapsed on the ground.
"Ouch…I thought you only had to deal with this when you had Pikachu…" Lee stuttered, Buneary and Hinata was laughing. Lee sat back up. "No, bad, we do not shock people." Lee disciplined. Then picked up Buneary and placed the rabbit square on his head.
"Let us go on." Lee said walking on. Hinata jumped up and fallowed. She began looking around noticing it was getting dark.
"Lee, I think we should stop for tonight. It's getting dark." Lee turned to her.
"Well…ok. I guess." Buneary hopped down. Then Lee put his backpack down and gathered up things to make a fire. "Can you bring out your pokemon? I am sure they would love to get some fresh air, plus Buizel can put out the…FIRE!" Lee exclaimed as the fire started. Hinata didn't really see he had a lighter in his hand. Buneary was in the bushes and came out with a bunch of Berries.
"Buneary! Buneary!"
"Wow! Good job Buneary! They look great!" Buneary put a hand behind it's head and blushed.
"Buneary!" Hinata giggled and sent out Ratatta and Buizel. Buizel came out with a back flip and Ratatta came out with a smile, till it saw the berries. Then it jumped Buneary and ate three of Buneary's ten. Buneary was very pissed.
"Buneary!"
"Hinata! Your pokemon just ate my Pokémon's berries!" Lee said as He held Buneary back from hitting Ratatta. Hinata picked up her pokemon.
"I'm sorry, he just can't resist eating berries when he sees them." Meanwhile, Buizel was staring at the fire. Lee noticed it.
"Uh…make sure Buizel does not put out-" It used water gun and Lee's fire was out. They sighed. Buizel stood up and saluted.
"Yeah…good job Buizel." Hinata murmured. Lee sat besides the place where the fire was and threw out the wet wood.
"Hinata, maybe you should work on controlling your pokemon before you focus on breeding…just a suggestion." He said putting new wood on and trying to get his lighter to work. "Buneary, can you go get more wood for the fire?" He asked, keeping his attention to the spot.
"Buneary!" Buneary hopped off. Hinata sat down and pet Ratatta and Buizel.
"You two got me into some trouble." They looked up at her. "Lee thinks I don't know how to keep you under control…he just got his pokemon today and has better control over them then I do for you." She sighed. Buizel rested her head on Hinata's waist and Ratatta lied against her stomach. "I love you two, but you do have to realize we're on a team. Don't eat what isn't yours, and only put out fires that we tell you too." Hinata said. Her pokemon sighed too. Lee got the fire going again and set out bowls and poke food. Buneary hopped back and placed the wood near a tree.
"Buneary!"
"Hey there Buneary! Come on! I have your food ready. Buizel! Ratatta! You too!" All the pokemon ran over and began eating. Lee also got Hinata's and his going too. He sat back and watched the pokemon as Hinata came over and sat besides him.
"You seem to know a lot about living out doors." Hinata said, pink faced and looking over to him.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I think I have spent more of my life outside then in. I just click to the out doors. What I am worried about is Neji and Tenten, they never spend a lot of time outside. I hope they'll be alright." Lee replied. Ratatta finished eating quickly and nudged Hinata to pull out her sleeping bag. She did, and soon her and her pokemon were asleep inside. Lee leaned against a tree with Buneary on his lap looking to the stars.
"I wonder if out first pokemon is staring up at the sky tonight to."
"Buneary."
Chapter 1 done! Yes! I hope you enjoy it. The story line is a bit odd, but I hope you Review none the less.
