The Legend of A Master
DISCLAIMER – I DO NOT OWN POKEMON OR NARUTO, THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
Chapter 1 - The legend is born
Some say legends are made...
A few say legends are trained...
Others argue that they are created...
But very few realize that the answer is neither...
Legends are born...
It was a quaint day in Pallet town, famously known as the town of beginnings...
This is a town where legends were born and raised, where new tales of greatness were invented. Many veteran trainers renowned today for their prowess, having risen through the ranks at an astonishing pace started their journeys here, receiving their lifelong partners from the infamous laboratory in town.
It was here, where the likes of Red Satoshi Tokugawa, Green Sawyer Oak and Blue Arias Danvers started their own travels.
However, this tale isn't about these already infamous figures, or about the legends that were spun in the town of Pallet. Today was the day to mark the start of a brand new era with a new legend who was about to be born, his tale was about to begin…
23rd July, XX92
Crying is heard from Viridian Memorial Hospital managing to pierce the silence of the unusually tranquil city, a child has been born, the son of two of the original 4 Kanto dexholders...
The current champion of the Kanto region and one of the strongest trainers in the world...
Red Satoshi Tokugawa.
And...
One of the best healers in the world and a renowned trainer in all the regions, also the Kanto Champion's wife and lover...
Yellow Del Bosque Verde.
Yellow smiled softly at the blue-blanketed bundle in her arms. She shifted said bundle lightly to see the pale-skinned child slowly open his piercing red eyes. Amber met the ruby red as they both smiled at the bundle. Her gaze was steady as the all-important question that was being conveyed through those eyes…
Red caught the look and looked down in thought a small smile gracing his lips as he stretched out his arm to stroke the infant's face…
"You'll be Arion, like the Pegasus."
"When you spread your wings you will soar above all others"
As it so happened no one noticed the silver-haired shadow out in the hallway.
"You'll do."
9:30 PM, October 10th XX92
Yellow looked at her 3-month-old toddler in his crib in their home on a deserted island. Not many knew its location as both of them had gone completely off the radar once they turned 18.
The peacefully sleeping baby was a carbon copy of his father with tufts of spiky raven black hair and kind-red eyes. His pale skin, however, was all his mother.
"Yellow-chan!" an urgent voice pierced through the delicate silence that had cocooned the female dexholder. Her head snapped up on high alert as she shifted to give a stern look to her husband. Her eyes widened in alarm when her lover appeared with his ANBU armour on, wolf mask in place. His eyes glowed under the mask.
"Red-kun? What's wrong?" The concern in her voice could be heard even by an untrained ear.
"Bijuu attack, Minato-Sensei is in trouble..." Red was clearly exercising a lot of self-control so as not to bolt out of the door right now. Yellow's amber eyes widened...
"Do you want me to..." she started.
"No..." his voice was firm. He embraced his wife breathing in her familiar scent.
"Stay here and take care of Arion for me" Red's voice left no room for argument but this was Yellow, she was the only one who could argue with her husband.
"I'm a Senju, Red-kun. I can help a lot..." She tried to reason.
"No..." his voice was weaker but this had a greater effect on Yellow. The desperation in his voice was clear as day. He clung tighter to his lover's slender frame.
"Please, I can't lose you. I know you're strong that's why I need you to protect our son" he said. Yellow closed her eyes. She tipped his mask looking directly into his eyes. Leaning forward she captured his lips in a tender kiss.
"Come back to me alive, Okay?" She said. He nodded, kissing his wife as if to seal the promise, before leaning down to tenderly caress his son's chubby cheeks. He then dropped a kiss to the infant's forehead.
"I will..." he trailed off as his eyes spun to life settling into the signature pattern of the Sharingan. Pulling down his mask he then disappeared with a shunshin.
KONOHAGAKURE NO SATO
"Divisions 3 and 4, flank the sides! Support the Yondaime no matter what" the aged voice of veteran shinobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi rang out amidst the chaos. The ninja complied trusting the orders of "The Professor" who had also been the Sandaime.
But alas it was no use. With a single sweep of one of its tails and the Kyuubi had easily thrown away all the approaching ninja. Minato was trying his best, a bead of sweat ran down his brow as he carefully considered his next move. This intruder was strong. His chance came with the entrance of his ANBU captain.
"Ōkami" he called out.
"Take care of the Bijuu, Yondaime-sama. I will keep him occupied" The ANBU said as he unsheathed his sword. Minato nodded and Hirashin'ed away. As the two ninjas gauged each other, it was the spiral masked man who felt the chill first. The power of this ANBU was nothing to be sneezed at.
Ōkami's eyes widened for a second. A single mature Sharingan was visible under his opponent's mask. An Uchiha was alive and he did not know about it? He closed his eyes and concentrated on his aura signature. This wasn't Ichigo's aura. As his eyebrow's creased in thought trying to recognize the mildly familiar yet almost unknown aura the masked man dashed forward and he was forced to defend.
As they dashed forward taking aim at the vital spots Ōkami quickly discovered the speciality of this ninja...
Intangibility
"That's quite the ability you have there, masked man," Wolf said jumping away losing his sword in the process.
"And it will be your end," the masked man said making a hand sign. The solitary eye visible spun and both were plunged into the Tsukiyomi. Ōkami found himself in the moon realm pinned to a cross. The masked man was there too holding a blade.
"First, he uses Sharingan but he also has Mangekyō?! This guy is dangerous"
"It doesn't matter if you think the pain is not real," he said brandishing the blade. Ōkami smirked to himself, opening his mouth for a smart retort...
"You really don't know how to use your eyes" Wolf raised his head to display blood red eyes in a new pattern than ordinary Sharingan, his own Mangekyō. The Shuriken like pattern started to spin rapidly.
The illusion cracked and faded away. Back in reality, the masked man fell to his knees, his eye looked shocked.
"How?! My Tsukiyomi was perfect..."
"Not at all true..." Wolf said charging forward his hand ready. Thrusting his palm forward the strike connected with the masked man's navel, a spirally seal appearing on his body.
"A contract seal!?"
"With this, Kyuubi is no longer under your control," Ōkami said twisting his hand as he threw the motionless man quite a distance away. The masked man acted fast, his Sharingan spinning he transported his whole body into his pocket dimension. Wolf stopped his charge at once, only a whisper of the masked man remained...
"I will rise again, beware Uchiha Itachi..."
Ōkami just remained silent. Recovering and sheathing his sword, he looked to the chaos with the Kyuubi.
"Just who was that man? I'll think about it later, for now, I have to help Minato-Sensei" he shunshined away.
He was met by a heart-wrenching sight. Minato stood there with Kushina. It was clear that both of them had been impaled by one of the giant claws of the Kyuubi attempting to protect a small blonde child. Minato's legacy...
As the final words were imparted from Minato to his son his eyes threatened to close as the hand seals and by extension, the seal, was completed, The Kyuubi had been sealed into the infant. Ōkami's own eyes widened behind his mask rushing towards them he frantically tried to analyze the situation. It did not help that his wife was aeons better at healing than he was.
"No-No-No Sensei you can't die on me. I still haven't beaten you yet" Red screamed frantically trying to close the torn flesh of his Sensei and his Sensei's lover.
"I-I-Itachi..."
Wolf came to attention immediately.
"N-n-no Red-kun. Protect Naruto for me. P-p-protect my son, I entrust this to you because I know you can be trusted. You have a beautiful family of your own, please take care of what's left of mine" They were his final words before the legendary Yellow flash and his wife the Crimson streak closed their eyes and passed on.
Red was left holding the blonde child. The only reminder of his Sensei left in the mortal plane. Sarutobi burst in at that moment.
"Wolf is that...?" He trailed off.
Red nodded trying to hand the newborn infant to the aged shinobi only to find Naruto clinging onto his plate amour. The boy's eyes were open now, revealing the same piercing blue eyes his Sensei was known for. With that Naruto started to cry as he was dislodged from Ōkami's grip and handed to Sarutobi. They had to go back to check the damage.
2 DAYS LATER
"We cannot let the Uchiha adopt the Jinchuuriki and that's final Itachi," Koharu said glaring at the young but undeniably strong ninja.
"He may be a Jinchuuriki but I can't leave him at some orphanage when you won't even let me see him. You've already stolen his freedom, I won't let him lose any more than he already has," Itachi said, an edge to his voice sharper than a Katana.
"Uchiha-san is right. Why are you so particular that the Uchiha can't adopt the Jinchuuriki?" Hiashi Hyuuga questioned.
"We cannot let the Jinchuuriki be loyal to a single clan, it should be only for the village as a whole" the pronoun used by Homura was not missed by the whole shinobi council but only Itachi's eyes expressively narrowed.
"But he's the... Never mind forget it" Red sharply pulled himself back in without the warning glance Sarutobi had in his eyes. It was too risky to think what the council would do if they found out just who the parents of the blonde Jinchuuriki were.
"And that is the final word. Naruto will be placed in an orphanage and at age 6 will be enrolled in the Konohagakure ninja academy" Sarutobi said with a sigh.
Red said nothing but he stood up and fire shunshined himself out of the room back to the Uchiha district. Yellow was there with Arion...
"So how did it go Anata?" Yellow asked. He shook his head in reply as she sighed...
"They're sure being quite stubborn, they don't know what will happen if Naruto goes on the streets. The whole older generation is aware that Naruto is the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, he'll be killed if the civilians get their hands on him" Red said shaking his head.
"Honestly, I don't understand why he can't be given parental protection yet can be assigned an ANBU for all times of the day" Yellow nodded agreeing with her husband.
"ANBU can be controlled and assigned. They can have selective protection. I have a feeling they're not going to be doing their jobs. Guess then we just got to protect him the best we can" Red sighed out.
4 MONTHS LATER…
It was going pretty well, Naruto was usually treated acceptably but what worried Red the most was the fact that Naruto seemed to be malnourished. Even with his best efforts, he could only look out for the child so much, having his own responsibilities and family to look after. Kakashi was still stricken with loss and wasn't fit to take care of himself let alone another child. Right now Red was playing with his own seven-month-old son along with Vee, his Espeon when he heard it clear as day…
Tou-chan…
Red looked at his son in shock, his son, barely seven months old had just spoken his first words and they were father, they were his title…
From the rapid steps and shocked eyes of his wife, Red knew he hadn't misheard; his son had just spoken…
The toddler looked up to see his mother and pointing at her with his chubby hand he declared with triumph…
Kaa-chan…
Both Red and Yellow broke out into huge smiles and Yellow gently picked up her giggling infant and started bouncing him on her knee while Red watched the scene with love and adoration in his eyes.
23rd July, XX93
Today was Arion's first birthday but Red and Yellow had no idea what to get their child. The boy already had everything an ordinary child would love but they knew better than anybody that their son was no ordinary child.
Red had also observed in the little time that he spent with his son that the boy was amazingly skilled at befriending, soothing and healing Pokémon, not only had Red and Yellow witnessed Arion showing signs of being a child of the Viridian forest but he also seemed to possess the ability to control Aura to a certain degree.
"Kiddo, what do you want for your birthday?"
The boy seemed to think for a while and then his face split into a smile and replied...
"I want Tou-Chan and Kaa-Chan to take me to Konohagakure and see all the ninja over there."
It wasn't a strange request.
Red was the famous Uchiha Itachi, the head of the most powerful clan of the village hidden in the leaves. Renowned for his skill with his Sharingan [Copy Wheel Eye]. He was hailed as a prodigy that showed up once in generations. He graduated the academy at the age of seven and made ANBU captain at the age of thirteen. The longest-serving ANBU in Konoha with a record of 7 years of service, even beating the likes of Hatake Kakashi. Feared for his knowledge in numerous Ninjutsu, various styles of Taijutsu and his trademark art of Genjutsu. He was currently a prime candidate to take over as the Gondaime Hokage.
Yellow was known as Uchiha Senju Aoi in Konoha and she was no less deadly on the battlefield than her husband. Known and renowned for her amazing skill and prowess in the healing arts she truly was the niece of Senju Tsunade. But despite Yellow's best efforts, the slug princess still kept her distance from Konoha. She loved spending time with her grand-nephew, however.
Arion's Japanese name was Uchiha Senju Sasuke, he was the heir to the two founding clans of Konohagakure.
Red smiled at the childish response from his son, no matter how mature he could be he was still so adorable. So they did just that and time slipped by…
4 years later, XX97
Red was still the champion of Kanto and people now knew of the fact that he had a child but whether the child was male or female, what was the child's name or age no one knew…
Red was returning from Indigo plateau with a special gift for his son, after all, it was his son's fifth birthday.
He had checked up on Naruto recently and was outraged to see that the mistreatment had still continued. Ever since Naruto turned 2, the attempts were more obvious and dangerous as well. However Red had his hands tied so he simply took the blonde child back to his apartment, healed Naruto's injuries and left some food and candy for the child.
His own child, however, was a different story...
He was a natural born prodigy. Anything he had an interest in was instantly absorbed, but his true prowess lay in his eagerness to improve and master every skill he encountered. Whether it be his Kekkie Genkai, Shinobi arts, Aura, technology, languages, or cooking, he was enthusiastic to learn and perfect his skills, and often perfect them he did.
He was a genius in every sense of the word and he was still only five years old. Red shivered at the thought of what his son would be capable of when he reached his full maturity.
Also, there was also his other teacher to thank for his strength. But that was for another time...
Seeing around Red confirmed nobody was watching and commanded his Charizard, 'Char' to descend in his backyard. Jumping off his back he thanked Char for a job well done and returned him.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu [Fire Release: Great Fireball technique]"
An impressively sized fireball disturbed the surface of the small lake in their backyard. The flames were so hot, the edges were tinged blue. Red stood back lightly impressed.
"Hey kiddo", Red greeted the freshly tired 5-year-old.
"Tou-chan!" he said delighted and tackled his father into a hug. Red hugged back knowing how long the boy had been waiting for him to come home. Uchiha may be known for keeping hardened stoic faces but around family, smiles were common for the whole clan.
That was when he noticed Yellow smiling warmly at the scene, looking at her, he gave her a smile of his own, and then they diverted their attention to the child who was clutching Red as if his life depended on it as if Red would disappear if he let go.
"So are you ready to open your presents Arion"? Yellow's gentle voice broke the silence.
"Yes!" Was his prompt reply, this got a chuckle from Red.
"Okay little one, this is from me," Yellow said, holding out a small metallic pendant to the boy.
Curious he took the smooth silver pendant shaped like a long and thin octagon with a royal blue stripe running on its surface. Opening it, there was a picture of our entire family inside. Giving his mother a grateful hug the pendant was immediately hung around his neck.
Then the child looked towards his father, he saw the colour drain from his father's tan face. That is when he felt it too...
A large disturbance in the surrounding's aura. The Pokemon around were obviously distressed too, they were burrowing around trying to escape. This was followed by a huge explosion, the force knocking out the small child.
"Arion-kun" Red screamed out before dashing forward to catch his falling son. He shielded the prone body with an aura barrier before lifting up the still form and retreating. He closed his eyes in frustration.
He should have been more careful investigating. Tobi was a force to be reckoned with and if he found this place there's no doubt he won't rest until all the Uchiha were killed.
Once he had safely lowered his son on the ground, he looked up his normally red eyes turning before three tomoes were revealed.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!" Red gave a snarl of rage before releasing all of his Pokemon, Yellow doing the same, though with more silent fury.
The champion level Pokemon roared when they saw their master's child had been hurt. Even the normally calm Saur gave a growl of rage. As Red's eyes took in the enemies' identity he clenched his fist. Grabbing the case he had wanted to give Arion for his birthday, he sighed before pulling out the letters he had never wanted to give his son.
He was out of time.
He met his wife's eyes seeing Yellow's eyes widen with tears but they held in them understanding, Red slipped both of them into the case.
Red instructed Char to take Arion to the edge of Pallet town and drop him off them. The couple hugged and kissed their child for what seemed for the last time. He whispered to his son, though he knew that the child couldn't hear him.
"We will always love you Sochi, never forget it" then Char took off leaving them to battle for their lives. Turning to face the enemy he cracked his neck and Yellow took on a Taijutsu stance. They were ready to fight...
Till the death.
PALLET TOWN
July 26th XX97
Arion woke up with a sharp pain behind his head.
"Ouch; did I hit my head somewhere?" he thought rubbing his aching head, before shivering from a particularly cold gust of wind. His eye's widened looking desperately for any sign of his mother or father. He was no longer home, he didn't know how long he had been out cold or where he was either. He tried to take deep breaths so as to calm down so he could think clearly.
This is when his eyes landed on a curious case right next to him that was lying on the ground. Slightly perplexed he opened it and found several things inside arranged neatly, but what caught his attention were the letters that were on top of all the items. Both of them were addressed to him and not only that, he recognized the familiar Japanese scrawl. With a shaking hand, he opened the thicker envelope first, out fell a pair of keys and a letter, it said -
親愛なるアリオン
あなたがこれを読んでいるなら、あなたのお母さんと私はおそらくあなたともういません。これを知っていて、あなたも知っているので、自分を責めないでください。このケースの中には、きっと役に立つものがたくさんあります。また、中には私がみなと先生に約束したものを含んでいる非常に重要なシールスクロールがあります。
ナルト - ナルト - は孤児です、そして彼はナルトに住んでいます、私があんぶブラックオプスにいたとき私は彼を守りました。しかし、私は彼に港先生が望んでいたはずの家族をあげることはできませんでした。それで私はあなたに私がアリオンを完成することに失敗したという約束を成し遂げるようにお願いする、ナルトの世話をする。私はあなたにいくつかの重要な持ち物を残しました。このケースでは4つの突くボールがあります。彼らをしっかりと育て、彼らがあなたの最初のパートナーであるためにあなたの間の信頼の絆を育みます。それらを保護し、強力で信頼できる仲間にしましょう。こちらの項目の残りの部分は、後で使用することになるでしょう。
あなたはパレットの町からおよそ1マイルのところにいるでしょう。私たちの名前、私の息子の下に家があります。此花があなたを見つけたら、あなたは何をすべきか知っています。私がそこにいるかどうか、あなたのお母さん、そして私はいつもあなたを愛しているかどうかを常に覚えていてください。 私は今まであなたを育てなければならなかったことを本当にうれしく思います、そしてそれがこのように終わりに来なければならなかったのが残念です。言葉に出来ないほど君を愛しています。
感謝の父、
赤い徳川智.
[Dear Arion
If you're reading this, your mother and I are probably no longer with you. Knowing this and knowing you as well, please don't blame yourself. Within this case are an assortment of things that I'm sure will come in handy. Also inside is a single very important sealing scroll that contains something that I promised Minato-Sensei, I would give his son, Naruto Uzumaki, in order to protect him.
Naruto is an orphan and he lives in Konoha, I guarded him when I was in the ANBU black ops. But I could never give him the family Minato-sensei would've wanted. So I ask of you to please fulfil the promise that I have failed to complete Arion, take care of Naruto. I have left you a few essential belongings that I hope will be useful to you. There are 4 poke balls in this case. Raise them well, and foster bonds of trust between you for they are your first partners. Protect and train them into powerful and trustworthy companions. The rest of the items in here, I'm sure you will find a use for later.
You will approximately be a mile away from Pallet town. There is a house under our name. If Konohagakure finds you, you know what to do. Always remember whether I'm there or not, your mother and I will always love you.
I'm really glad I got to raise you until now and I'm sorry it had to come to an end like this. I love you more than words can say.
A Thankful Father,
Red Satoshi Tokugawa]
He was already crying by the time he finished the letter. His Mother and Father were gone? They were dead...?
Death had been an abstract concept to Arion up until now. Being well versed in biology, Arion knew people die but he never associated the concept of death to people like his parents. They seemed too strong, almost godlike in fact. But now the letter in his hand told him otherwise, it says that they're gone...
The boy couldn't take it but he held on to his composure almost desperately, in spite of himself images started flashing in his head as his brilliant mind conjured pictures of what might have happened. With a shaking hand, he opened the next envelope, out fell another letter this time in Chinese along with the same pendant that had been blown off when he lost consciousness...
我的小龍，
你可能在這之前讀過你父親的信，知道我們的命運。 我希望你長大安全。 我的阿里昂，我愛你這麼多兒子，我可能不會一輩子都向你展示這一點，但要知道你父親和我將永遠從上面尋找你。
我相信你會找到一些你能夠信賴你生活的人，最終你會墜入愛河。 請保持安全，並成長為一個堅強的年輕人阿里昂。 即使我們不在那裡，我希望你全心全意地愛你。
感恩的母親，
黃色德爾博斯克佛得角斯塔克。
[My Little Dragon,
You probably read your father's letter before this one and know about our fate. I wanted you to grow up safe and strong. My Arion, I love you so much son and I probably won't get a whole lifetime to show this to you, however, know that your father and I will always be looking out for you from above.
I'm sure you'll find people who you will be able to trust with your life and eventually you will fall in love too. Please be safe and grow up to be a strong young man Arion. Even if we're not there, I hope you know love you with all our heart.
A Grateful Mother,
Yellow Del Bosque Verde Stark.]
"Damn it all!" he punched the ground, as a small crater formed under the force. As he was crying the 4 poke balls that lay in the case opened to reveal a Charmander, a Squirtle, a Bulbasaur and a Pikachu looking at him with great sympathy in their eyes.
The distressed boy's mind calmed and he smiled weakly at the baby Pokemon but that didn't last too long. Gazing up and looking at the sky he started walking into the night using the stars as his guide, his eyes hidden by his raven hair, making a silent promise to himself…
He would become strong so he could protect those he cared about.
Arion had just reached the outskirts of Pallet town. He went around searching for the house that had the name TOKUGAWA on it. He eventually found it. It was a two story house with a nice coat of blue on the roof and a coat of white on the walls. He gently put in the key that his father had left in the envelope and opened the door completely oblivious to the emerald green eyes staring at me from the next house.
Leaf just saw a boy enter the house next to her own that had been deserted since the time she was born. Her mommy said that a very nice man and woman used to live in that house, but they left a long time ago.
"Mommy" Leaf called,
"What is it Leaf?" her mother replied.
Her name is Leaf Arias Oak. She's the daughter of two of the original dexholders...
Green Sawyer Oak, Her father and the gym leader of the Viridian City Gym.
Blue Arias Danvers-Oak, Her mother and the wife of Green Oak.
"Mommy, somebody just entered the house right next to ours," Leaf said.
She was answered by the sound of a crashing mug. Immediately, Green came in with Blue seeing if what their little girl just said held any truth. They were rewarded by seeing a light flicker on.
Arion had just entered his new 'home' as he supposed he would be calling it from now. Looking around he turned on a light switch located 2 meters from the doorstep. The light flickered on. The Charmander had rushed in along with his comrades gesturing me to follow him to the sitting room. The prodigy followed and then addressed the 4 Pokémon.
"So you guys are my first Pokemon huh?" Arion asked his voice heavy and monotonous. His eyes blurred with unshed tears but he tried to blink them away.
The thing about Pokemon was they were sensitive to emotion. They knew what you were feeling before you knew it yourself. He felt the warmth of the 4 creatures envelope him. He gazed at them, touched at their concern.
"Guys, I'm fine," the boy said his voice very nearly cracking.
All 4 of them gave me a look that screamed: "We don't believe you". Arion had the decency to look a little sheepish...
"Okay, maybe that's not a 100% true, but…" he was interrupted by the various cries of protest from the four.
All four of the placed a limb on the boy and initiated an Aura bond.
Then the Charmander spoke,
"Arion, we felt your pain even before we initiated the aura bond with you. You're hurting so badly and we understand that we know what it's like to lose your closest family…"
The Bulbasaur was next,
"We will stand by you and help you through your pain and sorrow, we won't abandon you as we know you won't abandon us either…"
The Squirtle added,
"Even if you act to be tough and strong, just remember that…"
The Pikachu ended the sentence,
"We will always be there for you to rely on when you're tired of keeping that mask up."
He felt his eyes moisten again, the tears threatening to fall once more but he refused to cry. He couldn't cry anymore. He was ashamed of himself.
Here, were little creatures who had lost their parents as well, but they took it in stride as if it was natural. They knew there was nothing that could be done except go forward and that's what they did.
"Thank you all".
The young child then completed the aura bond they initiated and looked at them, the gratefulness visible in his eyes. However the conversation had completely tired him out and as the adrenaline got out of his system he felt a wave of fatigue crash over him, he could only wait as his vision turned black as he fell asleep. His chakra having been exhausted, his eyes returned to their normal red colour.
Blue was just getting herself a cup of tea with Green when Leaf called her and told her that somebody went inside Red's old house. Did they actually move back? Blue dropped her mug in shock, staring wide-eyed with Green. With what seemed like a mutual agreement, Green and his wife rushed out of the kitchen just in time to see a light flicker on in Red's old house. Meeting eyes with Green they communicated with ease of experience even though no words were exchanged orally.
Blue wanted to go find out who exactly the boy was while Green did too he had better self-control though he could not help but let his curiosity get the better of him.
The Emerald eyed Gym leader locked eyes with his Sapphire eyed wife…
He cracked.
He sighed but nodded once looking down. He could almost see the glee on Blue's face on seeing he agreed even though he was looking down, both of them left the house and walked over to the familiar path of Red's house.
Blue and Green walked up to the doorstep as the male of the duo rang the doorbell hesitantly. But no one answered the door. Previously burning lights were no longer lit. Disheartened they went back. Maybe it was foolish to hope for anything different.
12th September, XX97
It had been two months.
Things could be described as smooth he guessed. He had an established routine taking full advantage of the indoor facilities and the forests around. He snuck out at night for supplies and worked at stealth that way.
What many people did not know was Pokemon were often named by their parents just like humans. They eventually responded to given nicknames or simply species name but felt the most connected with their birth name.
Charmander was given by the name Variearies, while Squirtle was named after the god of the sea, Poseidon. Bulbasaur introduced himself as Forrest while Pikachu was called Raijin, after the god of thunder. They pretty much just hung out and trained together Pokemon and trainer. Turns out there are a lot of things humans and Pokemon could learn from each other.
thunk.
thunk.
thunk.
The shuriken sunk deeply right in the bullseye as sweat temporarily blinded the young boy. He wiped his brow before drying his hair. All the Pokemon were having a blast playing tag as their trainer went back to his room.
The walls were coated in a light shade of blue with gold lining at the edge. There was a bookshelf full of literary classics as well as a few scrolls here and there, a study table, a nightstand, a full-length mirror, a closet for clothes and a bed. The bedroom was attached to a small bathroom that was quite nice. The bed was covered in a blue and white bed sheet with a few fluffy pillows on it. He went into the bathroom, brushed his teeth and had a light shower.
Throwing open the closet, he looked inside. There were several plain v neck shirts as well as T-shirts of multiple colours, a few long sleeved shirts, sweaters, and a couple of jackets. There were also a lot of short pants, track pants, training clothes and a few pairs of jeans and underwear. There were even some dress shirts sitting neatly in a pile. In the corner, 2 pairs of fingerless gloves were stashed neatly. At the bottom there were sneakers, running shoes and shinobi sandals of black and blue, as well as a single pair of dress shoes. In the drawer, there were a few rings and bracelets with two wrist watches.
He got dressed and collapsed into bed noting that he needed a haircut. He closed his eyes and turned over settling in for the night resigning himself to another night of restless sleep.
Signing Off,
The Aura Phoenix.
