Chapter 1
"Alright! I'm gonna surpass every Pokémon ninja of previous generations. Believe it! " that was his dream: to become the world's greatest Pokémon ninja. He was a twelve-year old boy with shaggy blonde hair that stuck up all over the place an orange jumpsuit. His name was Naruto Uzamaki, and he was about to start on his Pokémon journey.
"Naruto! You know you're going to have to get a Pokémon before you become a Pokémon ninja!" Came a voice from downstairs
"I know mom, everyone has to get a Pokémon before they become a Pokémon ninja."
"Good, I'm just reminding you so that you don't forget, like when you forgot your homework all those times, and when you forgot your father had a mission and you spent the whole day looking around the village for him."
From his bedroom, Naruto cringed; every time someone mentioned his father's name, he was reminded of how big a shadow he was in. Naruto's father was a Pokémon ninja of great renown and was incredibly strong and talented, his Pokémon were strong too. Naruto's father told him that the spirit of a powerful Ninetales runs through their family's blood, and it allows them to face any challenge and rise above it. When Naruto was younger, he thought that this made him special, but it was soon revealed that many other families had similar spirits in their bloodlines. Shikamaru's family was said to be watched over by a Darkrai and Chouji's family by a Snorlax spirit, and so on.
"By the way, your father wished you good luck, and he hopes you choose wisely. Now get out! You don't want to be late!"
"Right mom!" yelled Naruto as he dashed out the front door, grabbing his headband on the way out.
