A/N: Hello and welcome to my new fic. As you can clearly see it is a Naruto/Pokemon fic. Now before we get into the story I want to ensure that all of the people who are reading my other story know this. I AM NOT ABANDONING THE WOLF OF KONOHA. This is just a story that's been on my mind for a while so I decided that it was time to write it.
Now buckle your seat belts because it's time for our heros' journey to begin
Chapter One: The Journey Begins
The town of Twinleaf was bustling as the morning sun slowly rose. It seems as if everyone had something to do. Stores were just beginning to open. Adults were on their way to work. Kids were on their way to school. This was the typical morning of the residents of Twinleaf Town, and while the town may seem like any other ordinary town it was most definitely not. This was the town that was home to so many of worlds greatest trainers.
Speaking of which the greatest of them all was just waking up. His name was Naruto Menma-Uzumaki Namikaze. Son of Minato Namikaze the Strongest World Champion to date and Kushina Uzumaki, the Leader of the Jinchuriki Squad, Naruto was surely destined for greatness. But this is only the beginning of the story so let's not spoil too many details.
Currently our hero was just now rising out of bed. As his eyes opened and his grogginess fading away the young hero remembered that this was the biggest day of his life. With that his sleepiness instantly disappeared and was replaced with excitement and vigor. 'Yes todays the day I finally become a pokemon trainer' he said in his mind. After taking a shower and getting ready for school he ran down the stairs to see the sight of a note on the counter. He opened it and began to read.
Dear Naruto,
I'm sorry I couldn't make you breakfast or anything, I had to go get something at the airport. I'll be back before you get home and I'll make sure to have some food ready. I hope you have a great last day at school, enjoy yourself.
See ya later

Naruto put the letter down smiling before running towards the door. As he got their he looked at himself in the full body mirror next to it. He looked himself up to down starting with his wild and spikey blonde hair and his electric blue eyes. He was wearing a dark blue tee shirt under a light orange vest with two white bands on either arms. Finally he had on orange cargo shorts with blue stripes on the sides and navy blue sneakers with some accents of orange. Taking one last look at himself Naruto ran out the door towards his school.
When he got their he saw his 5 best friends Kiba, Sasuke, Shino, Chouji, and Shikamaru. Each of them were waiting at the front door looking at the scores that would determine if they were good enough for them to be allowed a starting Pokémon, and a pokedex both were needed to start their journies. As Naruto went up to the board he started to look for his score. The minimum needed to pass was a 210. As he looked for his score he saw some of his friends score.
Sasuke Uchiha: 290
Shino Aburame: 287
Hinata Hyuuga: 285
Shikamaru Nara: 264
Sakura Haruno: 260
Chouji Akimichi: 244
Ino Yamanaka: 223
Kiba Inuzuka: 217
Naruto Uzumaki: 209
When Naruto saw his score his heart shattered instantly. He was so confident in himself he couldn't believe this was happening. Tears started too well up in his eyes. After a few seconds it was just too much to handle and Naruto fell too his knees with his head down and tears falling. All of his friends saw what he saw and started to go towards him to try to console him until one of them stopped them. His name was Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke walked up to Naruto and put his hand on his shoulder. Slowly Naruto looked up to see Sasuke staring at him with a cold gaze before pointing at the end of the page. His eyes then looked toward where Sasuke was pointing at.
If your score is only between a fifteen point difference from the minimum needed to pass then you may battle for your right to become a trainer please see Iruka in room 33 by 12:30 to have your battle.
When Naruto read that all of his energy seemed to return too him as he ran toward room 33. His friends saw him take off and decided to follow him to watch him. As they got there they saw that Naruto was going to go up against Mizuki and Iruka was the ref. As they sat down on the bleachers and awaited for the battle to start, they silently cursed their luck. Mizuki had a major grudge against Naruto for all the times he had pranked him throughout his time at the school.
"This is a battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Mizuki Takihiro, it will be a three on three battle. The battle will be decided when one side has lost all of their pokemon. Will both trainers release their Pokémon."
Naruto threw out his first rental Pokémon which appeared to be a Bidoof. Mizuki put out an Rattata. 'Okay so both of us have have normal types, lets see what moves you know.' thought Naruto. He pointed his rental dex at Bidoof and saw that it knew Tackle, Rollout, Defense Curl, and Growl.
"Naruto you may have the first move." said Iruka.
"Alright Bidoof lets start off with Defense Curl." Bidoof curled up into a ball and glowed faintly before uncurling signifying that is defense had been raised.
"Rattata use Quick Attack." yelled Mizuki. Rattata charged at Bidoof with a streak of white following behind it.
"Bidoof use growl, then follow up with rollout." Bidoof let out a somewhat menacing but also cute growl just before Rattata hit him. Due to his defense being raised and Rattata's attack being lowered it didn't do much damage. Bidoof curled into a ball and rolled right into Rattata who was too close to dodge. The attack did twice as much damage because of the Defense curl used earlier.
"Rattata used Tail Whip then follow up with a Quick Attack as it comes back." Rattata wiggled his tail lowering Bidoof and charged towards Bidoof quickly.
"Bidoof Rollout as it charges toward you crash into it." Both Pokémon crashed directly into each other. As they hit each other they both flew back and they were sent skidding across the ground. When they finally landed both of them were unconscious.
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle please send out your next Pokémon."
Naruto threw his second pokeball out to reveal a Buizel. Mizuki released an Ekans. Naruto checked Buizel's moves and found that it knew Water Gun, Swift, Aqua Jet, and Sonicboom.
"Mizuki has the first move."
"Ekans start off with Poison Sting." Ekans opened it's mouth and released a torrent of poisonous needles at Buizel.
"Buizel counter with Water Gun." Buizel shot a small stream of water which washed away the needles and hit Ekans. Unfortunately Ekans quickly recoverd.
"Ekans use Bite." With a speed no one knew it had Ekans slithered across the field and bit down on Buizel's right arm with an intense grip. Buizel tried to get it off but could not.
"Don't panic Buizel use Swift to get it off of you!" As Buizel heard the command a magnitude of stars started to circle around it and he launched it towards Ekans. While it did immense damage due to its range Ekans still did not release Buizel's arm.
"Ekans use your tail to execute Poison Sting and while also using Acid from your mouth." When Ekans released this combo there was nothing Buizel could do, so the pain it felt was immense.
"Buizel use Aqua Jet toward the right wall!" Though with slight reluctance Buizel did as it was commanded. Up in the stands Naruto's friends all had different reactions.
"What the hell is he doing." yelled his friend Kiba.
"Naruto does know that will solve absolutely nothing right." said Ino.
"Dammit Naruto what are you trying to pull." said Sakura.
"Naruto..." muttered Chouji who was eating a bag of potato chips.
"What a drag..." said Shikamaru lazily.
"Y-y-y-yo-your-You're a-a-a-a-all wr-wr-wrong." stuttered Hinata as she watched the battle.
"WHAT!" they all yelled except for Shikamaru and Chouji.
"So I see you've noticed as well." said Shino.
"Notice what?!" said Kiba angrily.
"Hn. Watch." stated Sasuke cooly.
Back on the battlefield Buizel and Ekans were both soaring towards the right wall when Naruto yelled "Buizel, stop now but make sure Ekans hits the ground first." Buizel did as it was commanded and made sure Ekans hit the ground first unfortunately as soon as Buizel landed it fainted.
"Nice try brat but maybe next year." said Mizuki smugly.
"Both Pokémon landed outside the designated battle area which means they are both disqualified trainers please send out your final Pokémon." said Iruka with a very faint smirk on his lips.
"You know what... I'm not going easy on you brat." snarled Mizuki. "Go Serperior."
With a poof a pale green, serpentine Pokémon with a white face and throat and a back that is dark green appeared. It also had narrow red eyes, two pointed yellow extensions on the back of its head, coiled, dark green extensions spread out from the sides of its lower neck, forming a curving pattern lower down the body. It has curved yellow markings around its middle and several palmate leaves on its tail.
"Mizuki you can't use your own personal Pokémon!" yelled Iruka.
"Shut up imma teach this brat a lesson!" yelled Mizuki.
Iruka quickly reached for a Pokeball from the another part of the room and gave it too Naruto. "It's your choice if you wish to finish the battle, this is the only Pokemon that can get the job done. However even if you do not it will not be held against you and you will still pass."
"Thanks Iruka-sensei, you've always had my back and I appreciate it, but I think I'm gonna crush Mizuki if you don't mind."
"Well then Naruto good luck."
Naruto then turned to face Mizuki and smiled. "I'm gonna grind you to dust. BELIEVE IT!" yelled Naruto. He then threw the pokeball and what appeared shocked him. It was a small orange monkey with a tan stomach, hands, feets and face. It's eyes had red arches at the top and it had a small crest at the top of it's chest. Though it's most prominent feature was it's small tail flame that was burning brightly. 'Chimchar' thought Naruto. He pulled out the rental dex and was surprised to see it's moveset. It knew Flamethrower, Thunder Punch, Flame Wheel, and Fury Swipes.
"Alright Serperior use Leaf Storm." Serperior summoned a large amount of glowing leaves before sending it towards Chimchar.
"Chimchar dodge then follow up Flamethrower." Chimchar narrowly dodge it by jumping before unleashing a large stream of fire at Serperior who was in shock due to Chimchar's dodge."
"Serperior use Dragon Tail as it comes back down."
"Chimchar descend while using Flame Wheel." Both Pokémon obeyed their trainers commands and their attacks clashed. After a long stalemate both Pokémon disengaged and stood by waiting for their trainers commands.
"Serperior use coil." As soon as it heard the command Serperior dashed towards Chimchar who could not react quickly enough. Soon Serperior's body started to crush Chimchar's. As Chimchar screamed out in pain Mizuki started to laugh. "I told you that I would crush and now what? You are making that pathetic Pokémon go through a magnitude of pain." At this Serperior's grip grew tighter and Chimchar's screams grew louder.
"MIZUKI STOP NOW, YOUR'E GONNA KILL HIM!" yelled Naruto.
All of Naruto's friends looked on with disgust at their former teacher. They couldn't believe he was willing to kill a Pokémon just because Naruto pulled a few pranks on him.
Naruto just watched on as Chimchar was being tortured. He was trying to think of a way to save him but nothing seemed to work. That's when he felt a small spark in his chest. He looked and saw that Chimchar had stopped screaming and was waiting for Naruto as he was struggling to get out of Serperior's grip. That's when Naruto pulled out a Pokegear v7 and put the earphones in, while closing his eyes. He then started to scroll as he look for his song. His audience looked at him like he was crazy.(Insert Before My Body is Dry)
"What's he doing now?" asked Sakura.
"Isn't it obvious? He's getting pumped." said Sasuke.
Naruto found his song and started to listen. He then snapped his eyes opened and a look of pure determination was on his face. "Chimchar use Flamethrower on it's face." Chimchar did as it was told and hit Serperior with a powerful Flamethrower. Serperiors grip loosened a bit but it still was not enough to break free completely.
"Chimchar Thunder Punch!" Once again Chimchar did as it was told and using a hand that it managed to get free it punched Serperior with a fist incased in lightning. The attack did not due much damage but it did leave Serperior muscles extremely tense signifying that Serperior was paralyzed.
"Darn Seperior use Hyper Beam!" yelled Mizuki who was angry at the fact that Naruto could recover so quickly. With Chimchar still in it's body it started to charge up a Hyper Beam.
"Brace for impact, and use Flamethrower now!" Chimchar and Serperior launched their designated attacks which cause them to collide. The collision then caused a massive explosion which sent both pokemons flying back to their respective trainers. Serperior was covered in a large array of burns but was somehow still standing. Chimchar was also in the same state and looked ready to faint.
Suddenly though a bright red aura of energy enveloped Chimchar's body. "Chimchar's Blaze activated." said Naruto in shock before he realized that this was his only chance due to Serperior recharging. "Chimchar use FLAME WHEEL!" yelled Naruto. Chimchar started rolling towards Serperior as a massive wheel of flame surrounded his body.
Unfortunately Chimchar couldn't get to Serperior before it finished recharging. "Serperior HYPER BEAM!" yelled Mizuki. Serperior started to charge up the attack when suddenly it's body tensed up. Naruto and his friends all looked shocked. The paralysis worked.
"FINISH IT CHIMCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" yelled Naruto. Chimchar crashed into Serperior and sent it flying towards Mizuki, who was too slow to react. After both of them crashed into each other it was revealed that they were both knocked out. Naruto looked at the unconscious form of his opponents, he had did it. He won. He was going to become a Pokémon Trainer.
After getting Mizuki fired and Iruka finishing the remedial battles, it was time for students to receive their Pokémon, Pokedex and team assignment. A new law was approved to ensure the safety of young trainers. Only after winning 4 badges or 2 Contest. Suddenly...
"Team 7 shall consist of Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki. Sakura you will receive a Turtwig, Sasuke here is Piplup, and Naruto here I think you already know Chimchar." said Iruka with a grin.
After waiting for a few more moments Iruka announced the other teams. Kiba, Hinata and Shino became Team 8 while Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji. Soon afterwards the teens went home too start packing for their journey.
As Naruto raced towards his house he couldn't help but wonder if he was home. Soon he got to his house and opened the door to see a banner that said CONGRATULATIONS NARUTO." In his living room was his mother, father, two older brothers and his older sister. He told them how his day went and how
"Hey runt good job." said his oldest brother Lt. Surge
"Congrats Naru, I know that you'll do great." said his older sister Skyla.
"Here we got you a present." said his youngest older sibling Volkner.
They all handed him a box in Surge's box was a thunderstone, in Skyla's box was about 7 TMs, and in Volkner's box was a pokeball. Naruto picked up the pokeball and released it's content. Out came a quadruped feline who was half blue and half black. It had large ears and a long black tail with a 4 point star on the end it also had the star on it's ears as well.
"Cool a Shinx" yelled Naruto. Naruto then released Chimchar and let his two Pokémon play before his parents walked up to him.
"Naruto I'm so proud of you, and I know that you'll achieve great things in the future. Please make lot's of friends and enjoy your journey to the fullest." said his father with tears in his eyes.
"Naruto make sure that your always stacked on supplies, wash your clothes, make sure to eat healthy, think and make wise decisions, make sure you and your Pokémon are well fed, make sure that you call once you get to every city and also make sure that you change your underwear. I'm gonna miss you so much my baby ruto." said his mother as she hugged him in a tight embrace. tears running down her face.
"Got it. I do all of it and more Believe It."
After about an hour of celebrating and saying goodbye Naruto left to meet up with his team. They all decided to meet at the northern gate. Once Naruto got there he saw Sasuke and Sakura already there waiting for him.
"Hey guys sorry I'm late." said Naruto with Shinx and Chimchar next to him.
"As long as you don't make it a habit it's all good." said Sasuke his Houndour and his Piplup next to him.
"Hey guys let's all take our first step together." said Sakura her Oddish and Turtwig were both out as well.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all walked up to the gate and crossed over into route 201with their Pokémon thus signifying the beginning of their journey.
