Chapter 1
Music track: Pokemon: Pikachu Arrives
"Yaaaahhhnnn…" A brown-haired teenaged boy let off a tired yawn as he exited the plane. "I'm finally here…"
The teenager wore a red baseball cap that covered his dark brown (or borderline black) hair, a red vest with a black t-shirt underneath it, a pair of blue pants, a pair of black wristbands and a pair of black shoes with a red stripe on each shoe. A yellow backpack was strapped behind him and six red and white golfball-sized spheres – Pokeballs – were clipped on his belt at his waist.
He reached into his backpack to pull out his plane ticket. Mechanically printed onto the ticket was his name, Red, among other vital information such as airport gate, time of departure, estimated time of arrival, and airline. The final destination for him was the airport in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, known as the Land of the Rising Sun.
Red remembered why he came to Japan in the first place: some weeks ago, he had been doing last minute training with many of his Pokemon relentlessly just before the Pokemon World Tournament, which for the first time ever, was held close to the harbor of Vermilion City in his home region, Kanto. Because of the late night training, along with the general excitement mounting for the tournament, he barely managed to get any sleep, wanting to make sure that his Pokemon were ready. He won the tournament but only barely – the lack of sleep nearly cost him more than a few matches. In fact, when he was presented with the trophy during the awards ceremony for winning the World Tournament, he nearly collapsed on the spot!
"So embarrassing…" Red mentally groaned at the memory; he'd nearly had dropped and fallen asleep right in the center of the stadium – on live television, too!
That near-collapse had worried his mother as well as Professor Oak, a Pokemon researcher who had given him his first Pokemon back when he was eleven years old. Red could well remember when his mother scolded him before recommending him to go on a vacation not long after congratulating him on his victory.
"Red, how can you expect the best out of your Pokemon when you can't be at your best? You nearly collapsed out there! You had me worried sick! I'm proud of you for working so hard to become an accomplished Pokemon trainer, but even the best trainer needs a break every once in a while."
"Mom's right," Red thought to himself. "I can't work myself to the ground like that. A vacation can only do me good. Besides, Japan looks like a nice place to visit anyways!"
Music: Pokemon: I Got a Victory Badge!
Several minutes later, Red finally left the airport only to be greeted by large, tall buildings, bright blue skies and gleaming sunlight. He could not help but feel rejuvenated and no longer sleepy.
"Helloooooooooooo, Japan!" he cried out cheerfully, which briefly drew some attention from the nearby pedestrians. The pedestrians then returned to their business, thinking that Red was another excited tourist.
"Oh boy, I can't decide on what to do first!" Red pulled out a small tourist's guidebook on Japan and skimmed the pages to see possible tourist locations. "So many places to go and see… It's a pity that I can't easily have my Pokemon out so they can see the sights, too…"
Red remembered when he spoke to Professor Oak about Japan. Professor Oak was quick to give him some information including a warning.
"Red, I know how exciting it is to go to a place you've never went to before. However, hear me out on this: not many people in Japan know about Pokemon as Pokemon don't live in Japan."
"Really, Professor?"
"Indeed, many trainers traveling to faraway places have been dismayed to learn that Pokemon aren't as widespread as many people have thought. Having Pokemon out in the open can draw a lot of attention, including that coming from thieves."
"I see."
"Now, don't let that stop you from going to Japan, Red. Just remember to be careful."
"Right, I'll have to be careful here," he repeated to himself as he looked to his left wrist. Something shaped like a bangle was hidden underneath his black left wristband.
Little did Red know, he was being watched.
Music track: Senran Kagura Burst: We're Still Girls
Several days later, in an old, seemingly disused building outside of a large, gleaming preparatory school, five schoolgirls, each dressed in the girl's standard school uniform of a white dress shirt and navy blue skirt, tie, stockings and shoes, sat on the floor, waiting for their teacher to arrive to start class.
"I wonder what we're going to be doing today," said one girl, who had brown hair tied in large, bushy ponytail.
"Probably more training, Asuka," replied another girl, who had long blonde. Unlike the other girls, she wore her uniform in a less decent manner with her dress shirt having its top few buttons undone and with her tie loose. "But, as we wait… lemme have a feel for those funbags!"
Gaining a mischievous glint in her eye, the blonde-haired girl lunged behind Asuka and slid her arms under Asuka's to begin openly fondling the brunette's bust – right in front of the other girls!
"Ahhh!" cried out Asuka in dismay. "Stop that, Katsuuu!"
"Katsuragi, stop harassing Asuka," scolded a girl with long and deep black hair. "You know as well as all of us that class is going to start soon."
"Hah, can't I have a little fun until then, Ikaruga?" laughed Katsuragi cheekily.
"You can do that in your head since Asuka certainly isn't having fun because of you," quietly answered a girl with white hair arranged in a pair of long, somewhat curled pigtails. The white-haired girl wore an eyepatch over her right eye.
"Thank you, Yagyuu," said Ikaruga, nodding in agreement.
Yagyuu said nothing else as she chewed on a dried piece of cuttlefish before she turned to the fifth girl, who had light pink hair and was happily munching on a chocolate bar.
"How's the candy bar, Hibari?" she asked.
"Mm…!" hummed the pink-haired girl. "It's delicious! Where can I get more of these?"
The five students continued talking amongst themselves as they waited for their teacher to arrive. A few minutes later, from out of nowhere, a smoke bomb detonated, sending gray clouds everywhere. There, standing before the students was their teacher. He was dressed with a pair of black slacks and a jacket and had rather messy white hair.
"Alright, girls, class is in session," he stated before he began the day's lecture.
After a few hours of lectures and physical activity, the teacher finally ended class for the day.
"Oh, and before I forget…" started the teacher.
"What is it, Kiriya-sensei?" asked Ikaruga.
"Be careful outside; I've been receiving reports that there has been evil ninja activity recently. At the very least, keep an eye out for something strange," answered Kiriya.
Music track: Kirby Super Star: Rest Area
That evening, Red was in his hotel room, applying fresh clean bandages onto his arm.
"Gaah…" he groaned. "It's finally starting to scab over. Just when are those people going to leave me alone? What did I even do to them?"
He sighed as he looked out from the window of his room to see the night skyline. Noises from moving vehicles and people doing evening business could be heard from below.
"Hmm… a walk outside can be nice," he said. "I could use some fresh air. And as long as I stay close to well-lit areas, what could go wrong?"
A few minutes later, Red was out of the hotel, walking along the streets of Asakura. Although he had already seen the city during nighttime, it was a sight that he could not get tired of easily with the bright neon lights, windows, shops and billboards and massive television screens. His worries easily faded away as he walked, especially after he bought a small snack.
At the hotel Red had left from, one of the cleaners came out from the back doors. She reached into her uniform to pull out a small tube with a string in it. She pointed the end without the string in it towards the sky and pulled the string downwards, firing something high into the air.
Eventually, Red arrived at a park, well lit by tall lampposts. He can see that very few people were around; most people were most likely at home, working late or still on the transit home. Red decided to take a small break from walking and sat on one of the wooden benches dotted along the sidewalk. He leaned his head back to see the night sky.
"Nice to see that the stars are out," he sighed, feeling relaxed before an idle thought occurred to him. "What time is it now…?"
He pulled out a small watch-like device from his bag – a Pokegear – to check.
Music track: Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure: Night in Paris
"It's a few minutes past eight," he said thoughtfully. "I do recall that Professor Sycamore had upgraded my Mega Ring to detect Mega Stones… Perhaps I can try and see if there's actually any, even though I doubt it."
He drew out a flashlight from his bag and pulled back his black wristband, allowing the Mega Ring, complete with its rainbow-colored Keystone embedded in it, to be seen. He held the flashlight out in front while holding his Mega Ring-adorned arm up so he can see it and got up from his seat. He wandered around the park for several minutes until suddenly, much to his surprise, the Keystone in the Mega Ring began to give off a faint glow.
"No way…!" he gasped. "Does that mean that a Mega Stone's actually present somewhere around this park?!"
Red continued wandering around, this time in a more focused search as he tried to find the Mega Stone, using the Keystone's glow as a guide. Unbeknownst to him, he was being stalked as shady people hid in the dark shadows.
The Pokemon trainer was soon led to some bushes that stood next to a tree after a few minutes of walking. He can see that something was glowing and shining underneath them.
"What stone could that be…?" he wondered as he crouched down and reached for the stone. He pulled the round stone out of the soil with some effort. He tucked the Mega Ring back under his wristband before he drew out his Pokedex and pointed it to the Mega Stone, trying to see what he found.

Suddenly, a metallic black kunai lodged itself against the trunk of the tree, very close to Red's head. Red's heart nearly stopped upon hearing the sharp blade against the tree bark as the trainer turned around.
"You guys again?!" he cried out, recognizing the people who chased and attacked him during his vacation.
He pointed the flashlight at them and he can see that black ninjas had grouped around him.
"Tch!" Red grit his teeth before he quickly turn around and ran for his life, shutting off his flashlight in the process. The ninjas quickly followed after him, hot in pursuit.
Nearby the preparatory school, Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyuu and Hibari were making their way towards their dormitory when Hibari looked up.
"Uh, guys?" she asked. "Isn't that a shinobi smoke signal?"
The four other girls looked up and gasped upon seeing the mostly faded smoke signal in the night sky. The smoke signal appeared to form the kanji for "assemble."
"This isn't something that can be ignored," said Ikaruga. "It can be the work of evil ninjas."
"Look over there!" cried out Asuka, pointing towards the park. There, they saw a group of black-clad ninjas running by, most likely chasing someone.
Ikaruga nodded. "Let's go!"
At once, the five girls took off to the park!
In the park, Red ran as fast and hard as he could. He was running out of breath and the ninjas were throwing various projectile weapons, mainly shuriken and kunai as they pursued him. Many of the sharp weapons missed him, only hitting trees, lampposts, benches and the ground, but several of them managed to connect, either as grazing shots or stuck in the backs of his shoes or his backpack. One lodged itself into his baseball cap – Red was thankful that it was only stuck in the bill of his cap.
"Ngh…! I can't use my Pokemon or else people may notice!" Red thought until he saw one of the entranceways from the park. "Yes! Those ninjas wouldn't follow me out in public where lots of people are around just like they did before! Come on now…!"
Panting heavily, the Pokemon trainer raced towards the exit. However, he had to quickly stop as the ninjas jumped in the way, blocking him from the exit. Red turned and looked around, noticing that he was completely surrounded.
Just then, the five girls arrived, unseen by Red and the ninjas. They can see that Red was trapped and could not escape.
"Oh no!" gasped Asuka. "That boy there is surrounded!"
"What could those evil ninjas want from him?" asked Hibari.
"I'm gonna go right in there and kick their asses all the way over Mount Fuji!" declared Katsuragi, popping her knuckles as she got ready to march in. Yagyuu and Ikaruga held her back.
"What's the big idea?!" growled the blonde. "Let me go!"
"Those ninjas haven't spotted us yet – we should see what they're trying to do," replied Yagyuu stoically.
"Shhh!" shushed Ikaruga. "I can hear them talking."
The five girls returned their attention to Red and the ninjas, getting ready to intervene. One of the evil ninjas stepped forwards towards Red, with a kunai in hand.
"Hand over those monster balls," the lead evil ninja said as she held up her kunai in reverse grip. "And we'll spare your life."
"And if I say no…?" Red growled as his eyes widened before they narrowed, looking like an angry, cornered animal – he now realized that the ninjas were after his Pokemon!
"Then your life is forfeit."
Red was silent for a few moments, deliberating as his eyes darted back and forth, seeing that some of the ninjas were slowly approaching him, enclosing on him with their weapons ready. His heart beat rapidly as adrenaline rushed through his body as he can feel his blood leak out from where the thrown weapons had grazed him. "Looks like I don't have a choice! I'm gonna have to fight my way out!"
He yanked off two Pokeballs from his belt before he enlarged both of them by pressing the button on each. "How 'bout this: none of the above!"
Asuka gasped in shock. "He doesn't look like a trained shinobi! Does he intend to fight them?!"
"That looks like our cue," Ikaruga said. "Let's go!"
The five girls charged straight at the evil ninjas, just as Red tossed the two Pokeballs into the air.
"Come on out, Blastoise and Charizard!" the trainer called out as the two capture devices opened up, releasing their inhabitants: a large blue tortoise with a massive brown carapace with a pair of metal cannons protruding from the shoulder areas of its shell and a large orange dragon with a large pair of teal wings and a flame-tipped tail respectively.
A small yet pleased smile formed on his face as the trainer looked over his two Pokemon that were now readying for battle. "It's time to even the odds!"
I decided to write something new and that's a crossover between Pokemon and Senran Kagura - a crossover that has never been done before on this site (from what I've seen)! It's been on my mind for a while and I decided to do this as a sort of experiment to see what readers would think of it and because I like Senran Kagura Burst and the anime adaptation, Senran Kagura: Ninja Flash (watched the entire season in Japanese with English subs and a couple episodes with English dub).
It's pretty much thanks to Katsuragi that I have to mark this as an M-rated fanfic; otherwise, I'd make this as a T-rated one just like the Pokemon crossovers with Fire Emblem Awakening and Sword Art Online. Before any perverts ask, no, I don't plan on writing any lemons for this fanfic for the time being.
As I've stated, this fanfic is something of an experiment. I don't plan on writing much for it as of now due to college, my varying amounts of motivation to write fanfiction and my inability to decide on what sort of storyline to follow whether it's to follow the 3DS game or the anime or come up with an entirely new plotline, which can be difficult.
Anyways, leave me a review or PM to tell me what your thoughts are for this fanfic!
