This is my first story, so please bare with me. In this story I tried to combine Pokemon and Naruto except with the use or chakra. Trainer start their journey at the age of 16 (cause 10 ain't suitable enough to got out into the world alone) after passing the trainer exams. Lisenced trainers can help out police investingations and can help out in the medical fields too. Trainers are a source of entertainment in this world, gym battles are televised and league battles are too.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Pokemon
Chapter 1: The First Step
"It's time to get up Naruto, you're gonna be late " his mother shouted from downstairs.
Today is the day I go out to konoha. The Capital of the land of fire to take the trainer exams so I can become a Pokemon trainer, travel the world and become the champion of the land of fire. He thought to himself
" I'm coming mom, so don't shout so loud" Naruto said as he was getting dressed for the day. He put on his black pants, black shirt with an orange jacket with an black swirl on the back. " come on ninetails, I hope your ready for our first step on becoming champion"
"Nine"
"Good girl, now let's go get some breakfast "
As he came down the stairs he saw the layout of food before him. " now eat all you can before you go" kushina said as he walked up to the table and grabbed a plate
" thanks mom" he said with a cheeky smile.
" your welcome sweetie."
" we're gonna miss your cooking, ain't we girl?" said Naruto as he stuffed his mouth with bacon.
" nine" Ninetails agreed before turning back to eat her food.
Kushina smiled after hearing that. " well God only knows after you leave, all you're gonna eat is ramen. " she said looking down to her son. " so you better eat other things besides ramen, cause it's not healthy to just eat that stuff, ya know "
" I know mom " he said chuckling at her speech quirk. " but I'm not totally giving up on Ramen. The gift from Arceus. "
" ninnnne" Ninetails laughed from its owners love for ramen.
" I don't know why your laughing, you gotta eat other things besides sitrus berries"
"Tails" ninetails said in a shocked expression. " ninetails nine"
" don't get mad at me. It's only fair since we're partners"
"Nine"
" did you just Whatever me? "
"Tails" ninetails said sticking out her tongue.
Kushina watched her son and his ninetails go back and forth with a smile on her face. They're gonna be fine as long as they have each other she thought to herself. " it's amazing how you two have such a close bond, that you understand what each other is saying. Me and delphox don't have that close of a bond and we been together for 30 years"
Naruto stopped arguing with ninetails and smiled after hearing his mother talk. " hey where is delphox?"
" ohh, she's getting supplies for your trip in town"
" I don't want that town's supplies after how they treat ninetails" he said angrily and reach down to pet ninetails head.
" well want them or not, you're taking them. " kushina demanded
Naruto turned his head away unable to argue the fact that he needs them cause konoha is one week worth of travel. " fine"
Kushina smiled at her sons stubbornness. " good, now finish up cause you leave when delphox gets here"
After they finished eating. They all Laid around the house while they wait for delphox's return. While waiting Naruto thought about his life up til now. How he wanted to be a great trainer like his mom and late dad. How his mom taught him about battling and Pokemon. The fated meeting between him and ninetails. Now he and ninetails are gonna take the exams and start his journey and catch more Pokemon and become strong,the same way his dad did it.
Naruto broke out of his train of thought when he heard the sound of the door open.
"Delphox" kushina greeted her Pokemon at the door.
"Phox"
" bout time" Naruto said as delphox Laid the supplies on the table.
So Naruto packed up all his supplies and stood at the door with ninetails by his side.
" here Naruto, take this"
Naruto looked at her hand and took the object from her. It was a pokenav. " thanks mom"
"It's so you can call me anytime and you better call me" she said with worry in her voice.
" I will mom, I promise" he said to ease her worry. " you know I don't go back on my word"
Kushina smiled after hearing that" it's also got a map so you don't get lost"
He put the device in his pocket. " we better get going. Ready ninetails?"
"Ninetails"
"Thanks for everything you've done for me mom. I love you" he said hugging his mother.
" don't thank me. It's a mothers duty to raise their child. I love you Naruto and take care of him ninetails"
"Nine" Ninetails said while smiling.
Naruto started walking toward the road that lead him toward konoha. " Naruto " he heard his mom shout from the doorway. He stopped and turned around.
" don't forget to make some friends and try to find a suitable wife Naruto. You're 16 now and I want some grand babies before I get to old" she said smiling and laughing at his and ninetails reactions. Naruto's face lit up from the blush in his face and ninetails face in anger and jealousy from the thought of sharing affections from her trainer with another person.
" nine ni ninetails " she said
"Calm down ninetails " he said " I think she was joking. I hope. "
" tails" she snorted
They continued down on the path to konoha.
A Week later.
" finally here" Naruto said as he walked though the gateway of the big city of konoha after a week worth of camping, battling And eating berries
"Come on. Let's go check into stadium where the exams are being held".
They arrived at the stadium minutes later. " we're not use to this big city stuff are we girl" Ninetails nodded.
" we're here to check into the exams" he said to the woman behind the counter.
" ok I need your name, age, starter Pokemon, city and trainer id" she said.
" Naruto uzumaki, I'm 16, ninetails,whirlpool island and my ID is 2451"
" ok you are now confirmed in the exams and your room number is304A" she said handing him a room card key " can you please return your ninetails into its ball"
"Umm she not it doesn't like to be into HER pokeball, so no I can't return her" Naruto replied back angrily
" we can't have it walking around on its own around. It's rude to the guests. So can you return your Pokemon. "
Naruto was about to say something until he felt a nose on his hand.
" nine" Ninetails said not wanting to get him in trouble cause of her discomfort.
" no it's not ok ninetails" he said. " your my partner. My equal so I will not treat you any less than that" he began to shout.
" it's fine. He can keep his partner out. She seems like a good and well behaved Pokemon" said a voice from behind the pair.
Naruto turned around to see who was taking up for him and ninetails. He saw a old man in a lab coat with liver spots on his face and white hair. Accompanied by a woman with blond hair down her back with a diamond shape mark on her forehead and she had had on a robe that showed of her big bust and cleavage.
" but prof sarutobi. It's agai-" she started to say before she was interrupted but the woman with prof sarutobi.
" he said it was ok. So don't question him or his judgement" she said
The woman nodded and return to her desk behind the counter
Naruto glared at her before turning to the pair. " thanks old man. I owe you"
Sarutobi started chuckling at the boy and for his woman companion for getting angry at the boys lack of manners. " it's fine. You don't owe me anything. It's good to see young trainers treat there Pokemon as equals. I'm prof sarutobi and this is tsunade senju" gesturing towards the woman to his side.
" I'm Naruto uzumaki and this is ninetails"
"Nine" she greeted them.
" wait tsunade senju" he said with a shocked expression. " your the current champion on the land of fire" he said.
" yes I am" she returned
" really I thought the champion was some old hag" he said " that's what my mom always told me"
Sarutobi started to step back due to the Anger that was building in the air. " what's your mothers name. I'd love to meet her" she said with a smile that was hiding anger behind it.
Naruto's face paled at the sight of a pissed off champion. " um h-her n-n-name is k-kushina uz-uzumaki ma'am."
After hearing her name tsunade's face changed to shock. " your her son?"
"Yes" he said with a confused look. " you know my mom?"
"Yes brat and let me tell you that's she one hell of a trainer. Just thinking back at our battles gets me fired up" she said with fire in her eyes.
Naruto felt pride swell up in his chest while listening to the champion talk about his mother as a trainer and that he was taught by an amazing trainer. " so why did she call you an old hag for?"
" probable cause is that she is a sore loser brat" she said with a vein pulsing on her forehead.
" well we better get going tsunade. We got a meeting with the examiners of the exams" sarutobi said then he turned Naruto " here's our numbers if you need anything or help. It was nice meeting you"
" yea nice meeting you too. But why give me your numbers?" He asked confused.
" it's nice to help out an trainer that respects his Pokemon and being associated with your mother too"
" oh okay, thanks old man"
" no problem young man" he said as he was walking away waving.
As tsunade and sarutobi was walking away. Tsunade turned turn towards the professor. " why did you give him OUR numbers"
Sarutobi laughed " cause he's gonna be big time. I know it"
She smiled and nodded.
Meanwhile as Naruto got to his room. He looked around and then jumped onto the bed and ninetails followed and Laid down next him. " do they not see Pokemon as equals or living creatures or maybe only as tools" he said while gritting his teeth at the thought of it
" ni" she whimpered as she curled near his legs.
" don't worry. I won't ever let anyone treat you like they did at that town back home ever agian" he stated as he petted her.
Meanwhile in another room a lavender eyed girl was replaying a scene in her head of a blond haired, blue eyed boy defending his Pokemon and treating it as his equal. She was amazed at the scene and wanted to help the boy but her feet stood in place and her mouth kept quiet. She cursed herself for her lack of confidence, But the display of compassion he displayed made her wish she had the guts to do something like that.
She Laid down on the bed thinking about the scene one more time and placing a hand over her heart. " he was truly inspiring " she said into the air.
The next morning
Naruto was sitting in a huge room full of people his own age. He looked around the room at all people from all over the land of fire until someone walked on stage.
"Hello everyone my name is prof iruka. I'm in change over these exams. The exams are divided into three parts. " he said looking at the crowd of teens. " the first part is a written exam that will test your knowledge on Pokemon, items and berries. Second will be an evaluation of your starter Pokemon to test to see how you take care of you pokemon's health and ability. " he said and started hearing murmurs in the crowd. " don't worry the other trainers can't see your pokemon's moves or abilities" as the murmurs stopped he begin talking again. " third and final test will test your battling skills against other trainers. Are their any questions?" He finished as he looked around the room to see if anyone raised their hands. " ok once the exams are finished. You will receive your trainer card that will allow you to buy pokeballs and allow your party to grow to carry six Pokemon at a time and you receive your pokedex depending if you pass the exams. "
"Ok everyone lets get started on the first exam" he said after walking around to hand out test sheets.
Two hours later
As Naruto walks to the next room feeling confident about the written exams. He couldn't help but wonder about the raven haired girl that sit next to him during the test. She was completely red in her face. Was she sick, nervous or hot? He thought to him self and when he asked if he could borrow a pencil. He could barely hear her talk. She was talking so low and quiet that a pikachu couldn't hear her. He hoped she passed the test at least.
As he walked though the doors of the next room he was amazed how big it was. The roof was tall enough to fit an onix and so much space that flying types can show off their moves. And had a pool for water types and sand for ground or rock types. He walked toward the heated area for fire types. Upon arriving he noticed a boy with black hair in shape of a ducklett and black eyes wearing a crest of a fan in the colors of a pokeball on his shirt. He was with a houndoom waiting for the judges to come. He a serious expression on his face as if he was annoyed for waiting.
"You ready to pass this test ninetails?" Naruto said walking up to the area with ninetails.
"Ninetails" she replied back with a nod.
This got the attention of the boy and his houndoom as they looked over at Naruto.
Hmm his nine tails don't look that strong. The boy thought to himself.
" trainer applicant number 31 Naruto Uzumaki and ninetails" a woman shouted
"Here"
"Okay you will be graded A-F on your pokemon's moves and the effects of the moves, ok?"
"Yeah"
"Okay come with me into this room please" said the woman opening the said rooms door. And Naruto followed her into the room.
" now let's begin" she said and pulled out a pen and clipboard. " use your ranged attack moves on the targets and physical moves on the platform over there. " she pointed at the objects and continued. " they will measure the moves strength. So ready when you are. "
"Let's do this girl"
"Nine"
" Ninetails use flamethrower "
Ninetails opened her mouth and shot out a steam of fire at the target, engulfing it in flames. A loud beeped came from the device on the wall. Naruto looked over at the device that read ninety on it.
" what's the number mean? " he asked the woman.
"Oh it's the score your attack got based on its strength" she replied
" is ninety good?" He asked hoping for a yes
" a ninety outta hundred I'd say so." She said.
" yes" he said cheering. " I knew my girl was strong." He stated while smiling at ninetails.
"Ninetails" she replied blushing a bit from her trainer's compliment.
" alright let's gets another ninety, ninetails use psychic" Ninetail's eyes glowed and a force of psychic energy nailed the target and beeped again. Naruto looked up and saw seventy seven on the wall.
"Good girl, now use energy ball" Ninetails shot out green sphere at the target and it beeped. They looked at the wall again with a score saying seventy five.
" your ninetails knows energy ball?" The woman said. Shocked that the grass type move came from the fire type fox.
" yea they're capable of learning it and my mom thought it would be handy for her to learn a move weak against water,ground and rock types.
" well I was just shocked"
" oh really" he said while scratching the back of his head. " told you that she was awesome" he said petting ninetails. Ninetails just hummed at the praise and heading patting that she was receiving from her favorite person.
The woman smiled at the scene before her. It's good to see a strong and close bond between the two she thought. " okay your Pokemon has one more move left" she stated.
" um yeah, about that. It's not an attack move. So will they be graded too?"
Yes so please show off your special move"
"Alright ninetails use double team" in a instant about fifteen ninetails filled the room.
"Hm fifteen huh" said the woman while writing on the clopboard. "that's a lot coming from a Pokemon at its level right now. So that's a perfect hundred on that move"
"Hell yeah" he yelled. " she's sure is amazing" he said smiling
"Okay that's it for the day" she said as she was leading them to the door. " the first two test results will be announced at the end
Of the day. So you can wait In lobby for the results.
"Thanks" he said as he bowed "come on ninetails lets go. "
Later on day
Naruto was still in the lobby. He looked around at all the people and figured it would be about time for the results of the test. At first he was one the first people to arrive and as the time passed. It started to fill up by the minute until it got to this point. As he was thinking he people yelling. He look over torward the noise to see a blond haired girl arguing with a pinked head girl. He walked towards the girls
" I'm going to have the best scores." Said the blond girl
" yeah right, I've had the best scores all though the academy. So you can only wish Ino" said the pink girl while poking her thumb in her chest.
" yea we get it Sakura" said ino. Then she looked down to sakura's chest. "your so flat chested"
That statement caused Naruto to laugh and he quickly covered his mouth after seeing the angry stare that sakura's was giving him and the muted laughter he was trying to covered only made it worse. "I'm sorry, it just caught me off guard" Naruto said
"Whatever" Sakura said " better not do it again, or I'll have breloom punch you into next week"
That caused ninetails to Jump in front of Naruto growling at the girl.
"Calm down girl" he said petting ninetails head.
After he calmed down the fire type, Ino walked up to him. " don't mind bronzer chest over there." She said with a small chuckle. " I'm Ino Yamanaka and that's Sakura over there." Ino reached out her hand.
Naruto grabbed the girls hand. " I'm Naruto Uzumaki and this ninetails" he greeted her.
She looked closer at him" you know your pretty cute" she said giggling.
"Tails" Ninetails jumped in between them giving a disapproved look at Ino.
"Someone is jealous" said Ino
"Yeah she don't like me giving my attention to other girls or ones that openly flirt with me. " he said while scratching the back of his head. " I can't seem to break her of it"
"Hmm she's quite attached to you. Is that why you keep her out of her pokeball. " said Sakura
" no she don't like it in there and yea she is, but I think she's attached cause she's had a bad experience with people and I was the first to be kind to her. "
" what happened" said the girls in unison
"It happened back home on whirlpool island" he said
" I knew you wasn't from around here" said Sakura " we look the same age. I think I would remember is you was in our class at the academy in konoha"
" no I'm not from here" he said nervously laughing.
"So your for the boonies" said a voice from behind them.
Naruto turn around only to see the boy from earlier with the houndoom.
" yea what of it" Naruto replied gritting his teeth
" it means that you and your Pokemon ain't meat for here. Only the elite come here to become trainer, not newbs from the the boonies. " the boy was saying as if it wasn't obvious.
"Sasuke, don't be mean" said Sakura.
" you wanna go right" Naruto yelled. Then ninetails stepped up In front of ninetails ready for battle.
"Now calm down you two" said Sakura. " besides Sasuke was top of the class overall all five six years since we all got our starters at ten years old"
"I don't care if he's a prodigy or not" said Naruto.
" well you guess can duke it outtomorrow" said Ino. " just not now"
"Fine" he said" but me and ninetails will show him that someone from the boonies can beat an elite prodigy"
Sasuke smirked " we will see tomo-" he was cut off from the announcement from test results.
" here are your test results for the written exams" said the voice over the intercom. " your top ten grades on test one, number one Sakura Haruno"
" yes" she shouted.
"Congrats" Naruto said
"Second Sasuke Uchiha"
Naruto looked at Sasuke, he looked back with a cocky and arrogant smirk that pissed naruto off.
"Third Hinata Hyuga"
" where is ms. shy and timid" said Ino
" I'm r-right here" said the girl from behind Naruto
" where have you been" said Sakura. " it's not like you to not join us"
Hinata looked at Naruto, who was looking very closely at her before she turned for being observed. " I didn't want to i-intrude on your guys c-conver-" she was interrupted by Naruto.
" I got it, your the girl I was seating next " he stopped midway as he remembered something. " oh yeah, I forgot to give back your pencil." He reached back her pencil after digging it out of his pack. "Thanks" he said smiling.
"Your welcome" she said real low with a blush on her face.
Ino and Sakura looked at each other after figuring out what made the shy girl more shy. I think she has thing for him they both thought at the same time.
" seventh Shikamaru Nara"
They all returned to the announcement
" figures that lazy ass would be in the top ten" said Ino
" yeah but he would've been number one if he wanted too. " Sakura said looking relief that he didn't take it to serious.
" eighth place Shino Aburame"
"Bug boy too" said Ino looking shocked at the news.
" he may be quiet and unsocial, but he's really smart. " said Hinata taking up for her friend.
"That he is" said Sakura
" where are these guys" said Naruto
" I'm right here" said a boy in a hood and wearing dark glasses.
"Ahhh don't sneak up on me" said Naruto while hold his chest after being spooked.
" when did you get here Shino?" she Sakura
" I've been here the whole time" he stated
They all sweatdropped, he's sulking they all thought.
"So what about the other guy" says Naruto
" he's probably somewhere watching clouds" said Ino. " he's so lazy, makes me wanna kick his sorry ass"
" now for the the overall ranking on test one, if you are not on this list then better luck next year" said the intercom.
" what's that mean" said Naruto
" simple, it means you failed the test and have to retake it next year" said Shino
" not everyone passes?" says Naruto. Shocked that people would fail this test.
" better head back to your island out in the boonies" said Sasuke
" like I'd fail that easy and being a trainer is more than want you can write on a sheet of paper. " said Naruto
"There's the rest of the results" said someone in the crowd
They all turned and looked.
" I got twenty third" said Ino
" and I got thirty third" said Naruto
" here are your test results for the trainer/Pokemon evaluation exams" said the voice over the intercom. " your top ten grades on test two, number one Kiba Inuzuka & Mightyena"
" figures that he would be first, since he's the son of the most famous breeder in the land of fire" said Sakura
" I train and take care of mightyena, not my mom or sis" said a boy with black hair and red fang marks on his cheeks
" congratulations " said Hinata
" hey girls" he looked at Naruto " so who's the new guy"
" hey I'm naru- " he was cut short from Kiba ignoring him for ninetails
" who's ninetails" said as he started petting on the said Pokemon" it's well taken care of, and it's fur is so soft and-" was interrupted by the intercom.
"Second place Naruto Uzumaki & ninetails"
" so then she is yours?" Said Kiba looking at Naruto
" well if you would've listen, I was gonna say I'm Naruto Uzumaki and this is my partner ninetails" he said while reaching out his hand.
"I'm Kiba Inuzuka" he said shaking Narutos hand. " and this Is my best friend akamaru" he said as released Mightyena from his ball.
"Ena"
"Nice to meet you too" said Naruto
During the conversion between Kiba and Naruto. Sasuke was in deep thought. So he got second, which means that he's got a tough Pokemon. Sasuke smirked a little. The boonie boy might be decent after all he thought.
" third place Sasuke uchiha & houndoom"
"Congrats Sasuke" said Ino and Sakura
"Hn" he said while nodding
" fourth place Ino Yamanaka & Roserade "
" ha suck on that billboard brow"
"I still got first in the written test Ino pig"
" fifth place Choji Akimichi & Snorlax"
" I'm guessing he's with Shikamaru " said Sakura.
" probably eating" said Ino
" yea like Pokemon like trainer" Kiba said while shaking his head.
*sixth place Sakura haruno & Breloom"
" yes" she cheered
" seventh place Shikamaru Nara & Krokorok "
" so he has a krokorok" Naruto said to himself
" Ninetails ni nine"
" yeah your right girl"
" you can understand what she was saying? "
Said Ino
"Yea, can't you guys understand your partners?"
They all looked at each other. "Somewhat but not like that" said Sakura
" can you understand all Pokemon?" Said Kiba
"No just ninetails" he said as he smiled at them and then ninetails
"Umm Naruto " he turned torwards the shy girl.
"Yes Hinata"
"W-what did she say to you"
" oh, she told me that type advantage don't matter"
" so that's why you was wondering about Krokorok" said Kiba
" yea outta the top ten, he's the only one we have a weakness too"
" number ten Shino Aburame & Ninjask"
" congratulations Shino" said Hinata
" let's see the rest of the rankings" said Sakura
" Your number seventeen Hinata" said Kiba " you should've been higher. "
" sorry "
" so you got a mienshao?" Said Naruto coming from behind her. She could feel his breath running down her neck.
" yes" she Yelp from the being to close to the blonde. " i mean yes I do" she collected herself.
"Sorry I didn't mean to surprise you" said Naruto scratching the back of his head.
" now that you received the scores from today's exams. For those who pass, congratulations and for those who didn't pass, better luck next year. " said iruka from the doorway. " nowtomorrowwill begin the battling exams." He looked around before continuing. " it's the final exams, so get some rest and prepare fortomorrow, you are dimissed.
"It's on tomorrow" said Kiba
"Might"
"See you guys later, come on akamaru"
Kiba walked out followed by Sasuke "bye Sasuke " said Sakura and Ino. He put his hand up, waving them off as he left the lobby
We will see what the dobe hastomorrowhe thought to himself while the a similar thought was going though naruto's mind at the same time. I'll show him that being elite isn't all about what family you was born in. Naruto thought,As the rest of them said their goodbyes.
Later that night in naruto's room
" hurry up and pick you the phone"
Naruto said to himself irritated. After a few rings the other person picked up on the other line.
"YOU'VE BEEN GONE A WEEK AND THIS THE FIRST TIME YOU CALLED YOUR WORRIED SICK MOTHER. "
"Um sorry mom, I've been busy"
"To busy to call your mother that raised you?"
"We're really sorry mom ain't we ninetails?" as he looked around the room looking for his partner that was no to be found.
"That traitor" he whispered to himself.
"All that aside, how was the exams?" She asked her son.
"Great mom, we got thirty third on the written and second on the evaluation"
"Wow I'm shocked, you never was good on the written tests"
"Yea but all that was thanks to you mom"
" don't try to suck up mister. It won't work"
If only ninetails was here. It would've worked he thought. "tomorrowis the battle part. "
"Well any strong opponents, making any friends or rivals?"
"Yea I'd like to think so, they're a close group." He said" And speaking of rivals, why didn't you tell me that you battled the champion?"
" now that takes me back, now I'm getting fired up from the memory of our battles." She said with fire in her eyes.
Naruto chucked" ya know, she said the same thing"
" the reason I didn't tell you is cause it wasn't important, I lost and I hate losing." she said as she was getting more fired up.
" I meet prof sarutobi too"
" I know, he told me yesterday."
"Oh real- wait if you talked to him then you must've know I got here safely." He said as she started to look pale. " then why did you make me feel guilty for making you worry that I didn't make it. " he continued
"Well it's getting late, better get some sleep. " she said trying avoid the question. "Call me after the exams love you bye. " after that she hung up
Naruto shakes his head, then laid back on the bed. Then he saw a flash of fur dash outta the bathroom. "There you are ninetails, thanks for the support with mom. "
"Nine" she replied back pouting
Naruto turned away trying to avoid the weapon that is the puppy dog pout
"Fine" he sighed " let's get some rest and then she joined him at the foot of the bed.
Tomorrowis last of this exam and then it's on to the next step he thought to himself before closing his eyes to sleep.
