TITLE: CROSSOVER STYLE: POKEMON JUTSU
A/N: Lookit me; I'm hopping on the Naruto/Pokemon (neither of which I own for the record) crossover bandwagon!
xXKiraUzumakiXx; thanks for the advice. And about Sakura getting a pokemon reminiscent of her personality; don't worry… I have at least two planned.
Anyways; on with the story…
Chapter 1: I Want to be The Very Best
As the trio approached the town's main entrance, Naruto sharply turned and faced Sasuke. "You. Me. Battle. Now."
"Fine," Sasuke muttered, holding out his Charmander, "go." Naruto unleashed Bulbasaur.
"Let's beat him!" Naruto turned to Bulbasaur. "Bul bulba!" Bulbasaur spoke, sounding strangely like he was trying to say "believe it."
"Is your pokemon going to be as annoying as you?" Sasuke questioned. "Use scratch!" Charmander rushed forward with Bulbasaur charging in, only to get scratched across the face.
"That's nothing!" Naruto encouraged, "tackle!" Bulbasaur lunged…
"Side step then use scratch again," Sasuke ordered. Charmander did so, catching Bulbasaur in the left shoulder.
"Again." Bulbasaur turned, only to get scratched in the face again. "Again." Bulbasaur took a step back, looking a bit wobbly.
"Finish it," Sasuke spoke. Charmander rushed in, scratching Bulbasaur along the cheek under his right ear. Bulbasaur toppled over on his side.
"Saur! Bu Bulba bul ba saur ba saur!" The pokemon yelped, sounding strangely like "help! I've fallen and I can't get up!"
Naruto righted his friend and turned to Sasuke. "You win. Happy now? Oh wait; you're never happy!"
"Hn," Sasuke turned away.
"Man," Naruto kept on. "Whoever marries you is going to have to be fluent in teme speak. Sakura-chan? Can you speak that language?"
The pink-haired girl glared at him, "Na-ru-to." Naruto gulped. She was putting emphasis on each syllable of his name… not good.
"Heh, heh… I'll just shut up now," he grinned.
Sakura calmed down and smiled, "good. Let's go."
The trio walked out of Konoha and hit the road. Almost immediately, Sakura spotted a pokemon.
"A Wurmple," she smiled, "I've always wanted a Beautifly. Go, Squirtle!"
Her turtly companion appeared. "Use tackle on that Wurmple!"
Squirtle charged and slammed into the little red bug, knocking it back a ways.
Sakura pulled out a poke ball and threw it, the device engulfing the larva in a red light and sucking said light into itself. The ball wiggled a bit and then stopped, signifying a successful catch. Sakura cheered, "yes! I'm the first one to catch a pokemon!"
"Way to go, Sakura-chan!" Naruto congratulated.
Sakura thanked him, recalled Squirtle, and they continued on their way.
After awhile; Naruto happened to look up and saw a Beedrill going about it's business.
"That's it, buddy. Keep flying," Naruto stupidly muttered, not realizing the Beedrill heard him and translated it to the equivalent of picking a fight…
It turned… and charged, diving down at Naruto.
"It's using twin needle!" Sakura cried. Naruto just freaked out as it got closer and closer…
Suddenly, an orange blur tackled Beedrill out the way, the two forms landing and rolling along the dirt road, a familiar flaming tail burning Beedrill in some spots. A pokemon flew through the air and ensnared the Beedrill and Charmander stood up.
Sasuke walked over and claimed his new pokemon.
Naruto was livid. How dare this douche save him? And how dare he take his pokemon again? Beedrill charged at him, not Sasuke!
"Dammit Sasuke!" Naruto barked. "Stop showing me up!"
"Stop making it so easy," Sasuke smirked.
"And stop picking fights with Sasuke at every turn!" Sakura snapped, with her arms crossed and tapping her right foot; the body language of one who's expecting an explanation.
"It's not every turn, Sakura-chan!" Naruto protested, "it's just he's gotta show me up just cause he's a member of the 'high and mighty' Uchiha family and his dad's the gym leader! I mean… he takes the starter I called dibs on and now he goes and snags a pokemon that picked a fight with me!"
"Na-ru-to," she growled, "you're being so childish!"
Naruto opened his mouth but Sakura knew what he was going to say, "and don't use the fact that you're twelve as an excuse. You're going to be a teenager next year, so start showing some maturity!"
Naruto turned around, crossing his arms and pouting like a child.
"Just shut up and let's go, loser," Sasuke muttered, fastening a third pokeball to his belt.
"Wha… you caught another pokemon?" "Just now, while you two were arguing."
"What is it? Lemme see!" "You'll see it in battle eventually. Stop acting so hyper."
The group pressed on.
"Look!" Sakura exclaimed after a while. "I see what appears to be Tanzaku Town in the distance! We can stock up and rest there. Who knows… we might catch some more pokemon."
With that, Naruto took off like a shot, kicking up a crapload of dust. Said dust cloud enveloped Sakura and Sasuke, causing them to cough and glare after Naruto.
While running, Naruto's foot caught on something and he slammed into the dirt.
"What the hell?" he griped, turning to see what he tripped over. It was a green stone with a leaf-shaped imprint.
"Sweet!" Naruto whooped, grabbing it up, "I found a leaf stone!"
When Sakura and Sasuke caught up to him, he was still dancing around like an idiot.
Sasuke sighed. "I wonder what's got that idiot so hyper now."
"A leaf stone!" Naruto crowed, "I got a leaf stone and you guys don't! Hahaha…"
Sakura tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "big deal. I caught another pokemon."
Naruto stopped prancing around, "huh? Can I see?"
"Sure," she sighed, letting out her new pokemon… an Igglybuff.
Naruto's excitement dropped even further when he remembered something.
"Aw man! You guys both have three pokemon! I only have one!"
I already have pokemon acquisitions all planned out. Just wait and see what I have planned for the Eeveelutions. If don't understand a pokemon choice, just let me know in your review and I shall explain in reader responses at the start of the next chapter. This goes for any chapters from here on in. And remember, nothing nice or constructive, then no comment. Ciao!
