*There is darkness, until a small flame appears, growing bigger. A brunt orange-armored knight suddenly emerges from the flames and stepped towards the viewer*
Hi, I making a new story after disappearing for a few weeks, but life has been hard for me lately, what with my mom taking me to work with her so I would have something to do besides lazing on the sofa all day. Anyways, I'll be having the next chapter of "Gallant duelist of Miami" up shortly, it's going to take me a while still, oh and one last thing, if any of you are more into single pairings between one boy and one girl only, then I suggest turning back now.

Ash and his friends were taking a break from traveling after a week has passed since saying goodbye to Sanpei and his ninja village, and a week since Frogadier has evolved into Greninja, and after Ash had displayed that weird power that transformed Greninja, and Bonnie wouldn't stay quiet about it. Currently, they were inside a forest clearing, they had set up their camp
"And did you see on how fast Greninja was? He was all like 'whoosh' and 'swoosh', it was so cool!" Bonnie ranted.
"Yeah it was, just what was it anyway?" Clemont pondered. "Do you know, Ash?"
"I'm not too sure; it felt like, Greninja was asking for some of my power, and I just lent it to him," Ash said.
"Asked for your power?" Serena echoed.
"While we're on the subject, I've noticed something," Clemont said, gaining the others' attention. "Even with that water enveloping Greninja, hindering our view of Greninja in the process, but has anyone noticed that Greninja looked like Ash for a second?"
"I did," Serena said. "And I noticed something else,"
"What?"
"Ash, when Greninja fought that Bisharp, I could swear that your hair turned bright red for a minute,"
Ash, who was drinking a glass of water at that moment, spat the contents of his mouth out in shock when he heard that, startling the others. Ash went into a coughing fit afterwards.
"Ash?" Clemont inquired in surprise.
"*Cough* *cough* I'm fine," Ash said. "Serena, you said I had red hair?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah, at least, that's what I thought I saw…"
FLASHBACK
"We're gonna get stronger, and stronger and even more stronger!" Ash yelled out, gripping his fist, with Greninja mimicking his actions. "Let's go!"
A swirl of water surrounded Greninja, obscuring him from most views, but one could swear that Greninja's appearance changed a bit. As Greninja prepared to fight Bisharp, Serena absentmindedly glanced over at Ash, seeing his determined expression. 'Huh?' she thought, looking at Ash's hair, that looked like it was flickering between its usual black colour, and a bright, vibrant red. 'What is that?'
FLASHBACK END
"When I looked back to you for just a second, your hair turned red for a moment there," Serena explained.
Ash had a concerned look on his face when Serena said this, he got up abruptly. "I gotta check up on something, you guys stay here," he said suddenly and started to walk off. His friends were confused, Pikachu started to follow, but… "Uh, you as well, Pikachu,"
"Pika-Pi?"
"I-I'm fine, just need to- uh- be alone for a while," Ash waved them off and went into the forest.
"Weird, Ash never goes anywhere without Pikachu as long as I've known him," Clemont observed.
"Yeah, you're right," Serena said. "Was it because I mentioned his hair?"
"Nah, Ash doesn't seem like the snobbish boy-type that cares about appearance," Bonnie said.
With Ash, he was running deeper into the forest. Once he felt like he was far enough, he started taking off his shirt until he was bare-chested, his rather well-built physique showing to the world. "Alright, now to check out the seal," he mumbled and closed his eyes as he concentrated. Thin, black lines started appearing on his left shoulder, until what looked like a star inside of a circle was placed on Ash, he glanced over at it. "As I thought, it has faltered a bit, letting only bits of my chakra through, but not enough to break the illusion, I must've given that chakra to Greninja to trigger his transformation…" he mused as he made his hands into weird signs before touching the seal, it glowed a bit, and the lines started getting thicker. "I better be careful from now on then, if I use it too much my seal will break, and all of my abilities and power will come rushing through, *sigh*," he sighed sadly. "It has been a while though, since I started thinking about that place," he looked up to the sky. "How're you doing, Itachi, Hoshi, Yumi… Ami?" he whispered. "I'm sorry I all but abandoned the village while it was most vulnerable, but there are too many memories there for me to stay," a tear made its way out of his eye, down his cheek and fell on the floor. "I'm sorry I failed you guys, I'm sorry I failed you especially, my brother, I'm really sorry…"

"…Naruto,"
Meanwhile, in another dimension…
A young boy was walking through the streets, moping about, he looked about 10 years old, but seemed shorter than he should, he had spiky blond hair that defied gravity, blue eyes that shone like the sky, and strange whisker marks on his cheeks, he was wearing a dark green shirt, white shorts, blue, open-toed sandals and green goggles on his forehead, he sighed as he kicked a random soda can away. It went and tapped the foot of a passerby.
"Hey, watch it you freak!" he yelled and suddenly pushed the boy down and kept walking.
The boy didn't do anything else, he just sat there, until someone started to approach him.
"Naruto," the mysterious figure called out, causing the young blond boy to look up, and his face broke into a large grin.
"Hoshi!" he exclaimed excitedly as he got up and looked to the man that had been like a brother figure to him, he was tall, about 6"2, had brown hair that reached to just above his shoulders, his eyes were clear and devoid of pupils, but he didn't seem blind, he was wearing a fancy kimono that looked like it was made for royalty.
"What ails you? You seem downer than usual,"
At this, the young boy, now named Naruto, held his head down. "There was a test today, and I failed, miserably,"
"That's it? That never stopped you before?" Hoshi asked in confusion.
"It's just that afterwards, all the other kids said that I should just give up being a ninja, and how worthless I am, I don't know, maybe they're right and…" Naruto stopped there as Hoshi delivered a flick on his forehead. "Ow! What was that for?!" he cried angrily.
"For being a dunderhead, who cares what other people think of you? You start acting like a failure, then you really will be a failure for the rest of your life, the important thing is to never give up and continue on, don't let those other people knock you down, just prove them wrong!" Hoshi said dramatically. "You know the person I respect most of all that I told you stories about?"
"Yeah! I always love hearing about him, he sounds like an amazing guy!"
"he was, but you know, when we were in the academy, he was the dead-last of our generation as well,"
"What?! From all those stories you told me, this guy couldn't have been as dumb as me!" Naruto cried in protest.
"Exactly," Hoshi said, confusing Naruto. "Nobody could've ever guessed that the dunce of our year would be one of the strongest ninja the world has ever seen," he continued with a content smile. "And if he can do it, so can you, just set your mind to it,"
Naruto had the biggest smile Hoshi had ever seen on his face. "Alright! I'll do it, Hoshi! I'll become a ninja even stronger than him, and I'll be the greatest Hokage ever!" and with that, he went off to train.
"My, such an energetic spirit, just like yours, huh?"

"…Satoshi?"
AN: And that's it, it's basically an introduction of sorts, next chapter is going to be longer, I promise. For the pairing, it's going to be a harem for both Naruto and Ash, here's the list I cooked up for both of them.
Ash's harem:
Misty, May, Dawn, Serena, Leaf, Hilda, Skyla, Elesa, Korrina, Anko, Hana (Kiba's sister), *surprise*
Naruto's harem:
Hinata, Sakura, Ino
That's all I got for now, if you want see some girls you like in either harem, send me a message, I just have a few rules concerning each harem.
No Iris for Ash. I just don't like how she keeps calling him a kid when it's obvious that he might be a bit older than her.
Only Naruto girls for Naruto. I have to make Ash's generation older than Naruto's, and I'm not comfortable with turning any of the Pokemon girls into little boy lovers, unless if you think there's a girl that's just young enough for Naruto, then by all means, suggest her. (I might do Bonnie, but I'm not too sure)
No incest. I'm not into it, so forget about Karin being with them, even though she's just their cousin or something, I'm pairing her with Suigetsu. On another note, who do you think I should pair Sasuke with?
Kurenai is not going to be with Ash. She's sticking with Asuma throughout; I don't want to mess with canon pairs TOO much.
Other than that, send your opinions and review!
