Hey Guys!
New story, first off, I love Pokemon, I consider myself an aficionado in the subject.
So! Naruto's Pokemon team has already been selected, and I hope you like my choices.
This is going to be a mix of Naruto and the Pokemon anime as well as Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, and Emerald.
When Pokemon speak to each other, it'll look like this, "(Insert dialogue here.)" But people will still only hear their usual name calling.
I might have pokemon learn moves that they can't in the anime or games. Rest assured, a charizard won't be throwing around hydro pumps, so it won't be completely off the wall.
Also, I'm going to say this up front, if you like Drew, then this story might not be for you. I cannot stand Drew, so he's going to get bashed. Not overly hard, but bashed.
Of course a harem.
Now let's get started!
Hoenn - Littleroot Town.
Naruto Namikaze sighed as he walked home from spending the day in the forest. Naruto was 16 years old and very tall, about 6'1". Now, when most people heard about a non-trainer playing in the forest, they would freak out, but for some reason wild pokemon never bothered Naruto.
Not to say that they avoided him, he had actually just been playing with a group of poochyena. He just meant that they didn't attack him like they would regular people.
As Naruto entered the small town, he couldn't help but sigh as he noticed some kids laughing at him and pointing, at 16 ears of age, Naruto had a crappy life.
First off, he had no friends, since he was born an Albino. He had pale skin, not paper white, but paler than than average person, snow white hair, and Pink eyes, also there were his whisker marks. No kid wanted to play with the freak, and not only his looks.
His parents ignored him for his twin brother and sister, the 'prodigies'.
Pft.
Truth be told, they were average, slightly talented at best. Every birthday and Christmas they would ask for books on pokemon while Naruto would get ignored as usual. They would skim half the books once, get bored, and toss them aside, never to be read again.
By them.
Naruto would read and analyze every book they got. He knew almost everything there was to know about pokemon, types, personalities, abilities, everything.
Speaking of his parents, Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze, was the former Hoenn champion, before he was beaten a few years ago by a guy named Steven Stone. Kushina Namikaze, his mother, was a top coordinator before she retired to have him and his siblings.
"Just three more days..." Naruto thought, "Three more days and I'll be able to leave on my journey, but first, to get my trainer's licence."
Naruto walked up to Professor Birch's lab and walked in, he always volunteered to help out the professor in his work, so the two were on very good terms, as a matter of fact, Birch was more of a father to him that his own.
As Naruto walked in, he was assaulted by a small child slamming into his stomach, he looked down to see a seven year old girl with black hair and red eyes staring up at him, "Hey bro!"
Naruto smirked at the kid, "Hello Brandy. What are you doing here?"
Brandy backed up and said, "I'm helping dad out with his work. Are you here to get your licence?"
"Yep, where's your dad?"
"He's out working in the field."
Naruto nodded, "Alright, I'll go and get him, you stay here."
Brandy nodded as Naruto walked down the path to the outskirts of town, as he walked out, he strolled around the forest looking for the professor, and he found him.
Being chased by a poochyena...
Naruto sighed and walked over, when the little dog saw him, it changed course and jumped into his arms, "Professor, you should really wait for me before you go out on field research..." Naruto said as he pet the pokemon.
Birch laughed nervously and said, "Sorry about that, I accidentally stepped on the little guy's tail..."
Naruto shook his head and set the pokemon down, it then scampered off into the woods.
The two headed back to the lab and got Naruto set up for his test, when he finished, he exited and saw the other town kids there to take it, his siblings among them, they noticed him and not so quietly commented.
"Check it out, the freak's here."
"Why is he even bothering, pokemon are probably scared of him."
Naruto's brother Menma then spoke up with a smirk, "So loser, how bad did you fail?"
His sister merely disregarded him like he wasn't worth her time.
Naruto ignored them and walked up to Birch's desk, he placed his test down and waited for the professor to grade it. When he was done, Birch said, just loud enough for everyone to hear, "A perfect score. Just what I'd expect from my most talented assistant."
Naruto smiled as Birch winked at him, Naruto walked out, ignoring the other kids' whispering. He picked up his pokedex and pokeballs on the way out. The professor had two pokedexes to give out, and he chose to give one to Naruto, it was black with lime green lining.
Naruto walked out into the woods and headed for a secret pool, he emerged into a clearing with a pond, small waterfall, and a cave in the rock face, he then said, "Alright guys. Line up!"
Six small pokemon ran out and stood before him, over the years, his parents had taken them on numerous trips around the world, ignoring him as usual. During those trips, he had sometimes found a pokemon that he got close to, so he asked them if they wanted to join his team, and then he snuck them home.
First, a Charmander named Eros, met on a trip to Cinnabar Island, and Naruto's first pokemon.
Second, a Mudkip named Kule, who Naruto met right there in the forest.
Third, a Chespin named Sage, straight from the gardens of the Parfum palace in Kalos.
Fourth, a Gastly named Drak, they had a blast pranking his 'family' at the old chateau in Sinnoh.
Fifth, a Larvitar named Tex, from Mt. Steel in Johto.
Sixth, a Bagon named Fray, from Meteor falls.
The seven had grown up and trained together in anticipation for the day Naruto could leave on his journey, Naruto lifted the six pokeballs and watched as they all lit up, he threw them and they all let the balls bounce on their heads and draw them in.
After they all clicked, Naruto walked back home with them, he couldn't keep them at the house before this because they would have been targeted by his siblings. Menma liked to consider himself a 'collector' while Nozomi liked to catch anything that caught her eye.
As he walked by the pokemon pen, he let them all out around his parent's pokemon, they looked like they were all having fun, so he just went inside.
Three days later.
Naruto shot up out of bed and got ready to leave, he was wearing a grey shirt with a burgundy and maroon zip up shirt with elbow length sleeves, lined with black. (The one at the high end Boutique in Pokemon X and Y) Blue jeans, and a pair of dark brown hiking boots.
He grabbed his white vinyl messenger bag and headed downstairs.
When he arrived, he heard his brother talking to his parents, "Please dad! Just let me borrow one pokemon for one minute!"
Minato shook his head, "Nope, you're getting your pokemon today, you can wait to try and catch one of them."
"But they might be gone by then!" Menma whined.
Nozomi smacked his head, "What I want to know is, why are there so many rare pokemon gathered in our pen?"
"Ah... So they noticed my pokemon." Naruto thought as he descended the rest of the steps, "They're mine."
Everyone turned to look at him, his brother scoffing and his sister looking like she didn't believe him. His parents were wide-eyed as they saw him.
"N-Naruto..." His mother said.
Naruto just headed for the door, "I caught them yesterday, though I've known them for years."
Minato regained his senses, "Why didn't you tell any of us? We're your family right?"
Naruto nearly crushed the doorknob he'd been holding, something that they all noticed, Naruto turned back and said, "Why should I tell you anything? You've made it perfectly clear that you don't care about me."
His parents were about to reprimand him when his words really hit them. They had been neglecting him nearly his whole life...
Kushina nearly burst into tears, "Oh God... Naruto I-"
"Save it." Naruto said glaring at her, "I've gone ten years without you. I don't need you now." With that, Naruto headed off on his journey.
Leaving one distraught mother, one ashamed father, one annoyed brother, and one concerned sister.
Naruto was about to lave when he noticed something. It was a girl about his age, she was looking around like she was lost. Naruto was by no means a pervert, that title belonged to his godfather, but even he couldn't help but notice that this girl was stunning.
Not to mention that her chest was huge for someone their age...
Nope. Not a pervert, just observant.
She was about 5'4" with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a red tank top, which would have shown off a lot of cleavage if it weren't for the black undershirt, white short shorts over black biker shorts, yellow and black sneakers, a yellow fanny pack, lastly, a red bow on her head, letting two bangs fall to either side of her head while the rest was left flowing down to her shoulders. (Omega ruby clothes but anime face and body design.)
Naruto walked over and decided to help her out.
May Maple was having a bad day, it started off easy enough, but then when she went to Littleroot Town to get her first pokemon, a ghost attacked her! Then her bike got destroyed, and now she couldn't find her way to Professor Birch's lab...
She was about ready to give up when she heard a voice, "Excuse me, you look lost."
She spun around to see... what was quite possibly the hottest guy she had ever seen in her entire life. That included the models in fashion magazines!
She blushed bright red as she remembered his statement, she shyly scratched her head, "Y-Yeah... I just came from Petalburg City so I don't know my way around... I'm trying to find Professor Birch's lab."
Naruto smiled at her, making her face heat up again, and said, "I'll show you the way, follow me."
As the two walked through town, May noticed people laughing and commenting on them, she thought they were making fun of her, until her companion said, "Don't worry, they're talking about me."
She gave him a confused look and he said, "I was born an Albino, so everyone always makes fun of me, because of that, I don't really have many friends."
May nodded and said, "It's lonely isn't it, not having any friends..." At his look, she said, "My daddy's the gym leader in Petalburg, so everyone was either afraid of me or just using me... I never had any real friends either..."
Naruto stopped and turned to her, she stopped as well, "Well then if I'm not being too forward, how would you like to be friends?"
She smiled and said, "I would love it!" This day was turning out better than May would have ever thought.
Naruto held out his hand, "Naruto Shirogane." He said using his other name, he made it up so people wouldn't associate him with his 'family'.
She took his hand and shook, "May Maple." With that, they headed off to the lab.
When the two arrived, Naruto walked in to see the professor with three pokeballs waiting for someone. When he noticed them, he walked over and said, "You must be May. Norman told me you'd be coming, I hope you found the place alright!"
May chuckled and said, "Well, I wouldn't have if it wasn't for Naruto..."
"Ah. Well thank you Naruto for helping her."
After Naruto's nod, he lead them over to the pokeballs and said, "Well May, you have these three to choose from." He then let the pokemon out revealing a Mudkip, a Treeko, and a Torchic.
May took a look at them, and after not liking the treeko's attitude, and having the mudkip shoot her with water, she chose the torchic.
"Aw~ He's a cutie." She said while petting the small chick.
Professor Birch then took an opportunity to speak up, "Say May, do you want to give torchic a nickname? Naruto gave all his pokemon one."
She looked thoughtful for a minute before saying, "Flicker. Do you like that?" The little fire.
"Torchic! Tor!" the little pokemon squeaked.
"I guess that's a yes!" May said.
Birch spoke again, "May, you don't know a lot about pokemon do you?"
She stopped and turned around, "Is it that obvious?"
"Not really, your dad told me. But back to what I was saying, why don't you two travel together?"
"Us?" Naruto said, speaking up for the first time since they arrived.
Birch nodded, "Why not? You two get along great, and you can teach May how to be a great trainer."
Naruto nodded and said, "Well May, I'll leave it up to you."
She took less than a second to say, "Sounds great!"
So May got her pink pokedex and five pokeballs and the two companions left the lab to see Naruto's siblings talking to a boy with a Pikachu. They ignored them and headed on out of town toward Petalburg City.
While they were walking, they started to hear some ghostly wailing from the woods on either side, May hid behind Naruto and started shaking, Naruto merely chuckled and said, "Duskull come on out."
As he said that, a small skull pokemon appeared and floated around them, it went over to may, who kept trying to put Naruto between herself and the ghost pokemon.
Naruto just placed her in front of himself and said, "Calm down May, Duskull just likes to play, he seems to really like you."
"Duskull~" The little pokemon said.
May didn't share the sentiment, "Lucky me..."
As the two continued on, they noticed that Duskull kept following them, and he kept trying so set himself on May's head. After a few minutes Naruto said, "Why don't you catch him?"
"Huh?" May said.
"Duskull obviously wants to go with you."
May fidgeted a bit and said, "I'm... I'm kinda afraid of ghosts..."
She expected Naruto to laugh at her, but instead he said, "I was too. But one of my pokemon is a ghost type, so I learned not to be afraid of them. Plus Duskull doesn't mean to be scary, he tries to make people laugh so that they won't be afraid of him. To tell you the truth, you're the first person he wanted to travel with."
May thought about this and took another look at the little pokemon, now that she wasn't scared, she saw that he had a small glimmer of hope in his eye, along with some longing... "Aw... he just wants a friend, and I was running around screaming..." She smiled at the Duskull and said, "Well, now that I look at him, he is kinda cute..."
Duskull floated around cheering while May pulled out a pokeball and caught him, "I think I'll call him... Soul."
As they continued to Petalburg, May decided to start a conversation, "So, you have more than one pokemon?"
Naruto nodded, "Yep, I have six already."
"Wow. How long have you been a trainer?"
"Just since three days ago. I've been friends with these guys for years though."
"Oh, maybe when we get to my place we could let them out to play with mine and my dad's."
"That sounds nice."
"So the professor said you could teach me how to be a better trainer?"
"Yeah, let's wait until we get there before we start."
May nodded and the two continued walking in a comfortable silence.
Petalburg City.
They soon arrived in Petalburg city, as the sun was beginning to set, Naruto couldn't help but look around at all the huge buildings, it was definitely much bigger than Littleroot.
When they got to the gym, they walked in to see May's father training a slakoth, he turned to them and said, "May! I didn't expect you home so soon." He then focused his gaze on Naruto, "And who's this?"
May hugged her father and said, "This is Naruto Shirogane, we met in Littleroot and started traveling together."
"Really." Norman said while narrowing his eyes.
Suddenly, a woman who Naruto guessed was May's mother, and a small boy walked into the room, the woman said, "Well, it's nice to meet you Naruto, I'm Caroline and this is Max. Come on in, dinner is about ready. Since you're a friend of May's you're more than welcome to stay the night here."
Naruto scratched the back of his head, "Oh I don't want to impose..."
Caroline just smiled, "I insist, I can't let May's first real friend sleep in a hotel."
Naruto nodded and watched as May walked out with her mother, it was then that May's father appeared in front of him, looking Naruto straight in the eye while a Slaking appeared behind him, "Listen here Naruto. May is my precious baby girl and if you hurt her, you'll have me to deal with. Understood?"
Naruto nodded, he had seen Minato get like this when guys came over to ask Nozomi out.
Norman then said, "Excellent, now let's eat!"
He walked down the hall while Naruto and Max followed Max then said, "You got off light, I remember when this one guy went too far with hitting on May and dad nearly beat him to death."
"Really..." He also let his pokemon out to play with Norman's and May's along the way.
Naruto then got sat down while Caroline served the food, it was really good, Chicken Parmesan with Clam Chowder. As they started talking, May decided to ask Naruto about her lessons, "So Naruto, when do you want to start teaching me?"
Everyone stopped and raised an eyebrow at this, Naruto didn't notice and said, "We can start after dinner if you'd like."
Caroline said, "Oh if you're teaching her something then we don't mind if you want to do it here."
Naruto said, "Okay then. Well May, first lesson, pokemon types."
Everyone realized that it was pokemon training lessons and listened in, "There are 18 pokemon types. Any decent trainer knows these types and their match ups by heart." Noticing her worried expression, he said, "Don't worry, it's easier than it sounds. I have a trainer guide I can give you later."
May nodded as Naruto continued, "Secondly, moves also have types, but what moves they can learn depend on the pokemon, not the pokemon's type. For example, Tyranitaur and Aaggron, both weak to water, can learn surf."
May nodded, "So pokemon can learn moves outside of their type?"
Naruto nodded, "Exactly, for example, my mudkip, Kule, knows tackle, water gun, mud slap, bide, and ice ball."
May considered this before motioning for him to continue, which he did, "Third is that pokemon, just like humans, have their own personalities and quirks. They are all different and unique. The rest of the basics can only be learned in battle, we can do a quick practice round if you want."
May nodded and after dinner, they went out and got their pokemon, they then took positions on opposite sides of the dirt field outside and selected a pokemon.
"Go Flicker!" May said as the torchic emerged from the ball.
"Eros, you're up." Naruto said calmly as his charmander made an appearance.
Max was overjoyed, "Woah a charmander!"
Naruto spoke up before they started, "Your pokedex can tell you what moves your pokemon knows."
May nodded and pointed the device at Flicker, it's computerized woman's voice carried through the area, "The moves Torchic is able to use are: Ember, peck, scratch, and swift."
Naruto nodded and said, "That's a pretty impressive moveset for a starter. Now, let's get started."
May nodded and said, "Flicker, use ember!"
Naruto watched as Eros swatted them away with his tail, "A fire type move won't do much to another fire type."
She flinched and said, "Let's try swift!" Torchic nodded and shot the stream of stars at Eros.
"Eros, jump to the left and grab that rock." The lizard did just that, and used the large rock as a shield.
"Impressive..." Norman said as he watched, "Swift can't be dodged, so he blocked it with a rock instead..."
Naruto then smirked a bit, "Now to practice defense, Eros use dig."
Eros jumped underground and stayed there, "Combat lesson one." May heard Naruto say, "Pokemon battling is rarely ever straight forward. It goes up and down, backwards and forward, diagonally, side to side and everywhere else you can think of. Metal Claw."
Eros jumped out of the ground and attached with lengthened, metal claws.
"Chick!" Flick cried as it was sent down to the ground.
After Flick got up, Naruto said, "Lesson two. You need to be aware of the battlefield, every aspect of it, for example... Eros, ember above Flick."
Eros knew what to do and fired a blast of ember at the tree above Flick, before May and Flick realized what he was doing, a tree branch fell right on Flick's head.
Naruto watched as Flick tried to stand up, "He's got heart, I think that's enough for this round, next?"
May nodded and retrieved Flick, taking him over to Max, she then pulled out her other pokeball and said, "Let's go Soul!"
Duskull came out and flew around the field, Caroline gained a confused look on her face, "I thought May was afraid of ghosts."
Eros walked over to Naruto, "Charmander..."
"Hey now, they just started. Cut them a little slack."
May's eye twitched as she realized that the lizard was probably mocking her.
Naruto returned Eros and picked another ball, "Your turn Fray."
A Bagon appeared out of the ball and roared it's name, everyone was surprised to see another rare pokemon.
May took out her pokedex to get a read on Soul's moves, "The moves Duskull is able to use are: will-o-wisp, hex, dark pulse, and confuse ray."
Naruto was pleasantly surprised, who knew that Duskull had such an impressive array of moves?
"Dark Pulse!" May said as Soul launched the attack.
"Dodge." Naruto said, still completely cool.
"Fray, dragon rage." Fray spat out a ball of blue and yellow fire at Soul.
May remembered she was supposed to help him and said, "Dodge to the right!"
Duskull did just that, only to see Fray right in front of him, "Lesson number three. Try not to call out a direction if you can, your enemies will use that. Bite."
Fray grabbed Soul in his jaws and threw him around a bit before letting him go, Soul floated around a bit before twitching a bit. Naruto noticed this and called the match.
May put Soul back in his pokeball and sighed as Naruto came forward, "Lesson four, and the most important lesson." She looked up at him at this, "Pokemon have limits, and it's pushing past those limits that makes them stronger, but at the same time, you need to recognize when they've done enough. If they go to far, they can get seriously hurt, just the same as humans."
May nodded, bus still seemed a bit down, "Hey, don't make that face." Naruto gave her a small smile, "I've been training with these guys for years, while you just started today. Don't beat yourself up..."
She smiled and nodded.
A few minutes later, Naruto had finished brushing his teeth and was changing into his pajamas when the door opened, he turned to see...
May in a towel...
Meanwhile May, forgetting that Naruto was in the bathroom, walked in on him in his boxers.
The two stared for a few seconds before they blushed and dissolved into both trying to apologize and explain at the same time, until they both calmed down and May said, "I-I'm sorry, I didn't remember you were in here..."
Naruto nodded, quickly put his pajama pants and tank top on and said, "Well, I'll just head to my room then..."
Naruto tried to squeeze past May and their chests accidentally touched as he walked past.
They both blushed harder as Naruto walked to the guest room. When he arrived, he sat down on the futon and tried to go to sleep.
May's room.
May lye down on her bed trying to sleep. She had changed into a pink thigh length nighty, and she couldn't sleep, she couldn't help but be worried about the rest of her journey...
Her door slipped open and her mother appeared in the doorway, "Can't sleep?" She asked.
May sighed, shook her head, and sat up, her mother sat beside her and asked, "Want to talk about it?"
May was silent for a few minutes before speaking, "I'm just worried about my journey... Naruto is so much better than me... What if I screw up? What if I make a mistake? What if I disappoint you and daddy?"
Caroline smiled at her daughter and said, "Sweetie, we will never be disappointed by you. We will always love you, no matter what. If you make a mistake or screw up than so what? That's life..."
May nodded and smiled, before she heard her mother's next sentence, "Now... Let's talk about the stud you brought home..."
May's face went atomic red as she yelled, "MOM!?"
The Next day.
Naruto and May had just gotten their things together and retrieved their pokemon. May's family was there to see the off, Naruto would have challenged Norman, but after seeing that Slacking, he figured that he'd better get a bit stronger.
Before they left, Max had said that he wanted to go with them so he could learn more about Pokemon, Naruto had known that they would probably be going into some dangerous situations, so he compromised and told Max that he would see about getting Birch to accept him as an assistant. So Naruto did and Birch was more than happy to train an aspiring professor, plus Brandy was happy that there would be someone her age there.
Anyway, the two were walking down toward Petalburg forest, May had her nose buried in the trainer's guide.
"Hey Naruto, I think I found what I want to do." She said.
Naruto turned to her, "Really? What's that?"
May smiled, "To tell you the truth, I didn't think that I was cut out for being a trainer, but I think that being a coordinator is right up my alley!"
Naruto nodded and thought about it, May would make an excellent coordinator, "If that's what you want to do, then go for it."
She nodded then asked him about a pokemon on the coordinator page, "Oh, that's a Beautifly. Do you want one?"
She nodded, so Naruto continued, "Well, I don't know where you can get wild Beautifly, but I do know where to get Wurmple, which can evolve into a beautifly. Right up here in Petalburg forest, I can help you catch one if you want."
She cheered as they stopped at the entrance to the forest. When they went in, Naruto was careful to keep an eye out for anything wrong, "Now wurmple like to eat leaves on the forest floor, or they like to stick onto trees. But you need to be careful, they live in groups, so they might attack if one is threatened..."
May nodded, then caught sight of something in the bush, she strayed and walked over to it, Naruto noticed and followed her. When they found themselves at the bush, May pulled apart the branches and saw...
A sleeping pink wurmple?
"Damn..." Naruto said as he saw the shiny pokemon.
"I thought wurmple were red..." May said confused.
Naruto shook the amazement from his eyes and said, "It's a shiny pokemon. They're incredibly rare, like 1 in a million."
"Wow..." May said as the wurmple started to wake up, Naruto silently prayed that it wasn't like the other shiny he'd met...
When the wurmple saw them, it got terrified and tried to run away, but it's legs were damaged, something that they both had just noticed. So May picked the little bug pokemon up, ignoring the squirming, and waited until Naruto came back with some super potion. When the wurmple felt the stuff on it's legs, it cried out in pain before it started to subside, Naruto took out a pillow from his bag and placed the wurmple on it. While it sat there, May noticed the terrified look in it's eye.
"Why is it so scared..."
Naruto shook his head, "I was afraid of this, most pokemon have a natural camouflage for the area that they live in, but shiny pokemon are often kicked out of the group to ensure the other's survival, since they stand out do much. This little guy has probably been alone his whole life. The other wurmple must have injured his legs to make him easier prey..."
May reached out to pet the small bug, who flinched, until she saw that May wasn't going to hurt her, "Poor thing... Say, how do you know so much about how shiny pokemon are treated?"
Naruto sighed and brought out a pokeball, he released the pokemon inside, revealing Eros, his charmander.
When the little lizard saw the wurmple, it's eyes went wide as it looked like it had been struck. Eros looked to Naruto, who nodded, then Naruto took out a rag from his back and got it wet in a stream nearby. Naruto then wiped the rag on Eros' skin, revealing that Eros was covered in orange body paint!
When it was all off, Eros was revealed to be yellow, instead of orange!
May understood almost instantly, "I see... So Eros was..."
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, the other pokemon left him on Cinnabar island to fend for himself, where I found him... He was ashamed of his color, so he made me cover him in paint to look normal."
Wurmple, after hearing all this, decided that these humans weren't all bad... after all, they accepted her, so they must be nice!
With that, wurmple was covered by a white light. Everyone watched as Wurmple changed into a yellow cocoon, with one eye peaking out.
"She evolved already!?" May yelled.
Naruto nodded, "Bug pokemon evolve very fast, some have been known to go from their first forms to their final forms in a single day."
The new Silcoon tried to snuggle up to May, after May asked Silcoon if she wanted to travel with them, the cocoon pokemon nodded and May caught it, her third pokemon! She had decided to name her new pokemon, Luna.
Eros watched the exchange before looking down at it's scales... he clenched his hands and went back into his ball.
Naruto sighed at Eros' stubborn nature.
The two humans and one cocoon walked through the forest, May helping Luna work through her issues the whole way, though near the end, the two turned a corner and saw a man in a lab coat standing in the path looking around.
He saw them and asked, "Excuse me, I don't mean to bother you, but, have you seen any shroomish around here?"
Naruto shook his head and then rushed forward to pull the man back to them. It was then that a fist sailed over the area the man's head previously occupied. Naruto saw two men dressed in wannabe pirate costumes with an 'A' symbol on their outfits, one of them snarled and said, "Nice moves kid, but we need you to hand him over now..."
Naruto narrowed his eyes and instead pulled out a pokeball, while May did the same.
It was then that they noticed Luna and gained a twinkle in their eye, "Say why don't we take that Silcoon too?"
the other nodded and leered at it, before his vision was drawn to May, "How about we keep the girl holding it too, she looks good..."
Both Naruto and May were livid at this, so Naruto tossed out Eros, still yellow, while Luna wanted to fight, so May sent her out.
The two thugs tossed out a pair of poochyena, so the battle began.
"Eros use metal claw." Naruto said, and Eros grew long metal claws before charging one of the two dog pokemon, taking it by surprise with it's speed, and Eros knocked the pokemon back.
Thug number 2 said, "Poochyena use bite!" He said while pointing to Luna.
"Harden, Luna!" When the dog bit Luna, it got at least one broken tooth, and may continued with a small new combo, "Tackle!" So Luna shot towards the poochyena, "Harden!" The end result? Instead of getting hit by a softish cocoon, it instead got hit by what felt like a brick wall, knocking it out cold.
Naruto, still as calm as ever, said, "Shadow claw." Eros shot forward toward the remaining poochyena, and slammed the claw of shadow into it's face, knocking it out as well. The two thugs returned their pokemon and were about to try more direct approach, but they were stopped.
Not by the Pokemon, but by Naruto's eyes, they didn't know what it was, but those eyes spelled death, so they returned their pokemon and high-tailed it out of there.
It was then that Luna started to glow again, she grew wings, became smaller, and turned into a stunning Beautufly.
The researcher said, "Thank you two so much... How can I repay you..." He started to search his pockets for something, but stopped as he heard a whispering, a gentle nudging in his mind, it guided him, without his knowledge, to give Naruto a certain item...
"Here, I'm afraid that this is all I have right now..." He said as he gave them a rather large stone, it was black, like obsidian, and had two ridges on the sides, jutting out about an inch from the stone.
Naruto didn't know what it was, but that stone... something about it was...
"Naruto? Are you okay?"
Naruto snapped out of his staring and said, "Yeah?"
"Are you okay You were staring at that rock for a bit."
Naruto gave a shy smile and said, "I'm fine... it's nothing."
A little ways away.
Sitting in a tree was a figure covered in a tan cloak, the only thing that could be seen was a few strands of black hair and glowing red eyes...
"Well, he seems like one to watch... But that rock, it seems familiar... Ah well! I'm sure it'll come to me."
Back with Naruto and May.
The two had made camp and were eating dinner with their pokemon, though two were off to the side engaged in conversation...
"(Why are you so negative about being a shiny?)" Luna asked Eros.
"(Why!? It's because of this that my family abandoned me! Why should I be proud of it?)"
"(Because it's you.)" Luna said, stopping Eros in his tracks, "(I don't hate my color, I love it, it makes me unique! Plus, we still found acceptance with people who care about us despite out color in the end right?)"
Eros was stunned at her words, so simple, but so right...
"(Besides, if they can't accept you for who you are, then screw them! They don't deserve you.)"
Eros looked down at his hands and found his resolve, she was right!
At that moment, a mental block in Eros' head broke, he had pushed past his problem, it was then that he too started to glow in a white light.
Naruto, noticing them and deducing what they were talking about, smiled as May and everyone else watched.
When the light died down, now there was a yellow Charmeleon in the clearing, giving off an aura of confidence like never before...
Naruto smiled at his oldest friend and nodded to him when they made eye contact.
After dinner, they all decided to hit the sack, so Naruto and May got into their sleeping bags while their pokemon got comfortable.
As Naruto drifted off to sleep, he thought it felt... deeper than before...
Unknown Area.
Naruto shot up and looked around, he definitely wasn't in the forest any more...
He was in an enormous traditional temple, looking around he saw tapestries depicting legends he hadn't even heard of, as he looked around, he heard a voice behind him, a deep and powerful voice...
"So... Are you going to turn around human?"
Naruto slowly turned to find an enormous fox with nine tails sitting in front of him, it had red-orange fir with black markings around it's eyes, and human-like front paws.
"Who, no... What are you?"
It chuckled, "I'm not surprised you don't know me... I'm not as well known as the other overseers, or legendaries as you humans call them..."
"You're a legendary!?"
It got a bit irritated, "Yes I am... Name's Kurama, now as to why I'm here... I've been in self imposed exile for a few hundred years..."
"Why?"
Kurama gave him a deadpan look, "Do you see how big I am? I can't exactly hide like the others."
Naruto nodded and continued to look around, "Fair enough... Where are we?"
"Your mind, and before you ask, I've been here your hole life, why? I got tired of being alone, so I decided to help you out with your destiny issue."
"What destiny issue?"
"Never mind that, not important right now, just know that you're very important kit, and that I am here to help you, used to be when I did this, I'd just be a voice in the head, but people kept ignoring me or thinking that they were crazy... Ugh, not fun. Anyway, just go back to sleep, you have an even greater duty to attend to."
Naruto gained a scared expression and asked, "What?"
Kurama gained a serious face and said, "Tapping that sweet brunette you're traveling with!"
Naruto face-faulted, "What!?"
"Hot bodies like that don't come along every thousand years ya know! Tap it before something goes wrong!"
Naruto's eye twitched, "I'm leaving now."
Kurama couldn't resist one last shot, "I'll corrupt you yet kit!"

Eros evolving. Some people might think that this is too soon, but Naruto has been training with him for years, the only thing holding Eros back from evolving sooner was his issues. Which, thanks to Luna, have been resolved.
