Hello, everyone and welcome to my story! This is my first attempt in a Pokemon and Naruto crossover so it is farrrr from perfect but I hope you all will enjoy it. =).

Anyways let's start the chapter shall we.

Chapter 1: The fox's respect

"Good morning!" said a young boy as he stretched his hands from his bed. He shot a glance over to the clock only to find out that it is still 6 in the morning, but why would he care about that, this is his fifth birthday after all. The boy had blond Sunkist hair and had three whisker marks on his face. He was wearing a T-shirt and short pants in his hands is a big Pikachu plush. His name was Uzumaki Naruto.

"Good morning sweetie, happy birthday!" Came a voice from the outside of the bedroom, as the boy went out of his bedroom, he saw his mom, Uzumaki Kushina who had long red hair, that she had in a ponytail right now. She seem to be cooking as she wore an apron above a red dress.

"Thanks mom, what are you cooking today?" asked the enthusiastic young boy. "Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise, and get ready because your father is coming back today, and I bet you anything that he is going to bring back his friends with him again." The mom reply giggling, before returning back to the kitchen.

(After an hour)

There was a knock on the door. "I got it!" shouted Naruto happily running to the door, thinking it was his father.

Naruto happily opened the door, only to see that there is no one there. "Who is it?" asked Kushina from the kitchen as she was sure, Naruto would have make a lot of noise if it was Minato.

"I am not sure mom but I see some footprints it looked like it belong to a pokemon, can I follow it please?" Naruto pleaded, coming in to the kitchen where his mom was preparing breakfast.

After 10 minutes of pleading.

"Ok, but be sure not to get lost in the forest!" said Kushina before letting the young blond out.

"YESS!" shouted the blond before running out of the house as if he was using extreme speed.

"That boy." Mumbled Kushina before shaking her head. Naruto and his mom pretty much live in a forest, they been the one of the few humans who enjoy living out of the city. Naruto's father Minato was a former Elite four before quitting for some reason, he usually go out on journeys and mostly come back after about 3 months. Naruto's birthday been the exception of course.

"A pokemon, A pokemon!" Naruto shouted, happily following the footprints of the pokemon he saw, after a while, he ended up near a river, where the footprints just suddenly vanished. Naruto looked around trying to find the pokemon that has mysteriously disappeared. He suddenly froze in his tracks when he heard footsteps, a lot of footsteps, Naruto turned his head to see a herd tauros approaching him.

Naruto stumbled backwards frozen in fear at the sheer number of Tauros approaching. Naruto could do nothing but watch as the wild pokemons approached him, but before the Tauros could even get near Naruto a majestic looking pokemon appeared with high speed and used flamethrower making a wall of flame, stopping them in their track. The pokemon was beautiful, it had golden fur and nine tails, the tip of its tail was in orange.

The pokemon then, used his head to fling Naruto to its back before running off, with grace, it was able to jump across the river to get to the other side. "Umm …. Thank you." Said Naruto as he got out of the ninetale's back, bowing to the pokemon that has saved his life.

The ninetale nodded its head before running off in to the wild, once more. After Naruto finally made it back to his house, he was scolded for taking so long, but after he told his mother about the ninetales, that saved his life, Kushina was marveled and wanted to meet the ninetails for herself. Soon after Naruto's father arrived, Naruto actually got three luxury balls as a gift from his father.

(The next week, after Minato went back)

Naruto went by the riverside again wanting to see the Ninetale once again then he saw fire coming out from the far end of the river, which was connected to a lake. When he got there he saw Ninetale battling against a pokemon that he never thought he would encounter, a Gyarados.

The Gyarados was scary, it was ginormous. Naruto watched the amazning battle that took place before his very eyes, two pokemons battling out against each other, using every ounce of their powers, it was pretty much a test of stamina as the two pokemon were almost even. Naruto was surprised that a fire type pokemon was faring very well, against one of the strongest water type pokemon.

The battle was brought to an end when Ninetale jumped and fired a hyper beam right at the gyarados face but miraculously the Gyarados survived and used hydro pump at point black range, which sent the Ninetale flying all the way backwards, hitting a tree and even braking it. The Gyarados let out a victorious roar before submerging in to the lake.

"Ninetale!" Naruto shouted as he rushed to the injured pokemon's side, the kid didn't know how to treat Ninetale, so he just started to dry Ninetails off. He didn't know how to treat an injured pokemon, the situation was getting bad, really fast, Ninetale breath was becoming heavier and heavier by the second.

Then it hit him, Naruto took out one of the luxury ball that Minato gave him and threw it at Ninetale, he didn't want to do it but his body was too small and weak to carry the pokemon all the way back to his house to have his mother treat it, and it would be too late if Naruto go and bring Kushina here, so this was the only solution. Been in its weaken state Ninetails, was captured without resistance and Naruto started rushing home with all the speed, he can muster.

Naruto finally got to Kushina and had her treat the ninetale and Kushina was amazed at the ninetale's size, it was nearly 1.9 m while, normal ninetale are only 1.1 m. After treating the ninetale, it finally become conscious again, and bow his head to Naruto as a way of saying thank you.

"Glad to help!" Naruto said with a big grin. Naruto couldn't help but feel the Ninetael looked depressed and he almost knew why, he concluded that Garados was the reason.

"Hey Ninetails, do you want to beat that Gyarados?" asked Naruto, this got Ninetale's attention as it looked up, determination burning in its eyes.

"If that is the case then let's train, I know I can't do much but I will cheer you on and train with you and one day you will beat that Gyarados believe it!" said Naruto handing out a fist at the Ninetale, Kushina watched with pride in her eyes, at her son growing up.

Ninetale let out a happy yelp before licking Naruto in the cheek. "Hey stop that, it tickles." Naruto said laughing.

Kushina was surprised that the Ninetale took a liking in to Naruto, People normally don't get a respect of the Ninetale that easily, especially if the Ninetale is a high level one, but Naruto seems doing fine. Kushina couldn't help but feel proud at his son, he was going to be such a fine trainer.

TO BE CONTINUED!
