Damn, y'all like my crossover! Only one of ya complained, and that was just jokingly! Much love to you all for understanding. Well, my kitchen flooded and my family has been moved into a small hotel. Plus side, my bro and I bunk together and we saved the Xbox 360, the cat, and we got internet. Downside, there's no goddamn Wi-Fi! Is it too much to ask for some Wi-Fi? Ah well. We'll be home before Christmas, and KSC will be up before the 20th...I hope...

Again, for now, enjoy Naruto and Konto's quest to find the elusive Mew in the world of Pokémon! (Insert game minimizing SFX here)

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING...aside from the plot and custom Pokédex information. Enjoy!

Ninja of Kanto

Naruto pulled at the neckline of the black shirt that fit tightly around his torso. As his clothes were, in Delia's words "A crime against life itself", Mrs. Ketchum had taken some of her son's clothes from his room and given them to the blonde. He had to look as inconspicuous as possible, according to the Professor, and keep a low profile. Hence, the new clothes.

Naruto's new attire consisted of loose dark blue cargo-jeans that would hold his ninja supplies (we'll get back to how he got to keep those in a moment), a tight black shirt that was too big for Ash (but fit snugly on Naruto due to his intense Ninja training and his fit build), and his old jacket that was now missing about 75% of the sleeves. Naruto insisted on keeping the atrocity, but had to sacrifice the long sleeves in an effort to placate Delia's concerns over his comfort in the all-around nice weather (save for a few storms here and there) that Kanto was known for. Now he wore the jacket unzipped, which allowed his Shodai Necklace to be seen over his shirt, and had tied his headband around his left arm, just under his clan patch.

Now, back to his ninja supplies; when Oak and Delia discovered Naruto's armory that was his pouch and kunai holster, they confiscated it from his unconscious form and locked it away in a safe. It took hours after hours for Naruto to get his weapons back, most of which were due to failed shadow clone 'rescue' missions while the original continued his daily lessons and schoolings. Of course when Oak and Delia discovered his 'Double-Team' ability, the former went giddy in excitement that only other scientists could understand while the latter fainted. After a rather lengthy explanation that involved a lot of sheepish smiles, back-of-the-head-scratching, and two sets of foxy pleading eyes (another reason Naruto loved Konto), Naruto was reunited with his tools.

At the moment, our kind blonde was looking in the mirror at himself, hardly recognizing his face without his headband around his forehead while Konto made himself comfortable in a position that only his friend Kiba's dog, Akamaru, understood. The small Eevee was perched comfortably on the blonde's head and also taking in his Trainer's new appearance.

"Well," the blonde said, getting Konto's attention, "I guess this is how it's going to be until we find Mew, Konto."

"Vee."

"Yeah, that's what I expected you to say," Naruto sighed out before grinning foxily, "We're not gonna get anything done by standing around sulking, are we?"

"Vee!" Konto confirmed with a nod as his tail began to wag. Naruto's grin remained on his face as he walked out of the room and into the living area, stopping only to pull his sandals back on. Waiting by the door were his recent acquaintances and parental figures, Oak and Delia.

The Professor was dressed in his usual khakis, brown Dockers and red shirt under a doctor's jacket. He had a smile on his face, reminding Naruto once again of his deceased grandfather, and his hands were interlocked behind his back. The eyes of wisdom, pride, and kindness stayed on the blonde while occasionally glancing at his companion. Similar to Ash and Pikachu, Naruto decided to let Konto remain out of the Pokéball, but the difference is Ash had no choice while Naruto asked the Eevee to choose.

Smiling a bit wider, Oak wondered if the two would meet up, before dashing the thought as Ash had a two month-long head start on the rookie before him. There was no way Naruto could manage to catch up to the now veteran Pokémon Trainer.

Delia smiled sadly as another boy left her home for who-knows-how-long. She was dressed in a pink blouse and blue skirt while her hair was pulled back in a French braid. In her hands before her was a black satchel filled with a map, a couple of dollars, and a duplicate pair of clothes. The blonde may not have been around for long, but he sure did his best at slipping into a part of her heart she always reserved for Ash.

Naruto smiled up at the both of them, Konto's tail wagging even faster when they were standing across from them. Taking the satchel from Mrs. Ketchum and pulling it on, Naruto then hugged the woman, "Thanks for everything Mom...I'll be sure to get Ash to call more often."

Delia laughed at her 'older son' and hugged him back, giggling when Konto licked her cheek, "You better stay safe and in contact."

"Ah, I will," Naruto said, leaning back out of the hug and locking his hands behind his head as he grinned at her, "Just think of it like I am: my mission is to find Mew, but to report in every few days to my superior."

"Smart lad," Oak chuckled as Delia giggled sadly, causing the blonde to look at him. Holding his right hand out, Oak held a small red device no bigger than the wallet that replaced Gama-chan (who now is perched next to Ash's first stuffed toy in the Ketchum household). Looking at it before taking it, Naruto waited patiently for Oak to continue, "That's a Pokédex, or Dexter to some. Designed by yours truly, it should give you any information on the Pokémon you will encounter."

After examining the technical device, Naruto then noticed something, "It's got blank spaces..."

"Ah, yes well, um," Oak embarrassedly stuttered as he scratched his head, "As I'm getting on in my years-"

"Cuz you're old," Naruto chimed in with a smirk, getting a light smack from Delia for his childish antics.

"Well, yes," the Professor said with a nod, "Because I'm 'old' as you say, I can't go out and study Pokémon as often as I used to. So, I ask of you to collect information in my place as you look for Mew...if it's not too much trouble?"

Naruto grinned, putting the Pokédex in his pocket, "I'll get it done, Prof. Oak. Ya just had to ask, is all. I'll find Mew and fill the blanks along the way. And that's a Promise!"

The two adults smiled as the young preteen looked up at his partner, "Ready Konto?"

"Eevee-vee!" Konto confirmed with a nod once again.

"Alright then!" Naruto said, turning around and dashing away with chakra enhanced speed. The two Pallet Town residents were stunned as the boy was a mile away from the town's gates before five minutes had past.

"That boy is something special..." Oak said with awe. Delia simply nodded, before walking away to perform some household duties while the Professor silently made his leave and went back to work. Both wondered what sort of world Naruto came from in order to make him the way he was.

Konohagakure no Sato, aka, the Village Hidden in the Leaves was normally a quiet place with the occasional small rumble due to ninja training. The stores always had smiles on their faces and the people were all nice to one another. In a world where violence was always guaranteed, it was as close to peaceful as you could get.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" a woman's voice suddenly roared throughout the village, causing every being within to stop what they were doing as Killing Intent leaked out from around the heart of the village. Even spies stationed a mile out of reach from other villages paused, a few wet themselves in fear.

As stated before, the Leaf Village was as close to peaceful as you could get.

That was before Jiraiya returned to report his apprentice's death.

The owner of the voice that caused the world to stop was a young woman in her early thirties, with a chest that would make every man look. Her blonde hair was pulled back into twin tails that normally rested behind her. She wore a light blue-grey medical gi underneath a green jacket with the kanji for Gamble in a red circle on the back while her legs were normally covered by blue shinobi slacks. These details are known only because she had just thrown her desk at the offending speaker, who barely escaped via Kawamari, and she stood with the aura of a woman that would be committing murder in a few moments.

This was Tsunade Senju, the Godaime Hokage and one of the most feared women throughout the Elemental Nations. She's the best medical ninja in the world and one of the three Sanin, teammate to Jiraiya and the traitorous Orochimaru. Her greatest skill would be her unnatural strength that could be measured only by a few, and that's when she was docile.

Now, however, she was currently pissed off.

"Would you please repeat that, JIRAIYA?" Tsunade snarled to her terrified teammate while her own apprentice and the remaining Squad 7 stood out of her way, shaking from fear at both what their leader was capable of and the need to repress their feelings over what Jiraiya reported.

"If I do, will you promise not to kill me?" Jiraiya asked, trying to phase through the wall he was backed up against as the irate woman stormed towards him. At the signature cracking of her knuckles, the white haired sage whimpered, "Guess not."

"How. Is. He. DEAD?" Tsunade asked through a growl as she approached her teammate. Not giving the pervert a chance to defend himself, Tsunade slammed her fist into his gut, sending him through the wall of the room and out the wall of the building. Still storming as she walked, her left had cocked back and punched just as Jiraiya shunshined back into the building, hitting her teammate square in the jaw. The Godaime crouched down and jumped up after the soaring Sanin, grabbing his shirt and pulling a fist back.

"Tsunade, I'm sor-" Jiraiya tried to apologize quickly so he could save himself.

"HE WAS ONLY TWELVE!" Tsunade roared, punching her teammate in the face and sending him to the ground, making an impact that caused dust to shoot up. The blonde Kage fell and drove her feet into the spot the winded Jiraiya had previously occupied. The old man bit his thumb and did the necessary hand seals before summoning Ma and Pa.

"Tsu-chan's trying to kill me, I need-" he started before Ma huffed and dismissed herself. Looking at Pa, the Sanin asked with a shriek of fear, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"

"That, Jiraiya-chan," Pa said with a sigh, "Was the beginning of a long, long road of trouble for ya."

"Me? What did I do?" Jiraiya asked. Before the older toad could reply, a telephone pole went soaring past his head, missing his head and shoulder by mere centimeters. Both males looked back at the irate Tsunade.

"I am so dead."

"That'd be the first time I'd 'ave ta agree with ya off the bat, Jiraiya-chan."

Naruto, who was blissfully unaware of the chaos his sudden vanishing caused, sped down the trails as his Eevee rested on his head. He was in a hurry to get to Viridian, the nearest town with a gym, and the most probable location that may have spotted Ash. However, before he made it to the resting home outside of the Viridian limits, something flew into his side.

"Ah!" Naruto cried out as he skid back, holding his still bruised ribs from the failed one-handed Rasengan attempt that were just irritated. Whatever Mew did, surely messed up his healing capabilities. The blonde looked up as Konto cried out as he fell, "VEEEEE!"

"Konto!" Naruto exclaimed, catching the formerly airborne Eevee in his arms. The small brown fox looked up with a smile, earning a foxy grin in return. The two of them looked to see the source of their derailment.

A small bird chirped as it walked in circles in a daze, it was brown and white, the light pink beak opening as the chirps came out, "Gi-gi-gi..."

"Huh, wonder what that is," Naruto muttered, letting Konto drop from his arms as he pulled his Pokédex out. The device beeped and an image of the bird popped up.

"Pidgey, the small bird Pokémon. Pidgey are fairly common Pokémon and are known to fly around in large numbers. Most Pidgey are proficient in Tackle and Sand-attack, using the latter to blind their target and do one of the following: if prey, attack and devour. If foe that is weaker, attack and defeat. If foe that is stronger, attack and flee."

"Hm...Little guy looks a bit out of it," Naruto mused as he put Dexter away. The blonde looked down at the calm Eevee sitting next to his leg and smiled, "Let's go help it out, eh?"

"Vee!" Konto agreed. The two walked over to the dazed bird, Naruto crouching and stopping the bird's stumbling by carefully cupping its wings to the Pidgey's sides.

At being touched, Pidgey stiffened before trying to fly away, making Naruto jump in surprise. Still holding the bird, Naruto cried out, "Whoa, settle down! I just wanna help you out, relax!"

The bird continued to jump around, chirping angrily at the offending human, before Konto had had enough. Despite being a normally calm Eevee, Konto was very impatient and didn't like seeing this Pokémon bitch-slap the kindness that his Trainer was showing away by attempting to help rather than try to capture it.

"VEE!" the small Pokémon cried out before chomping down on the tail of the small bird, making the bird go stiff in Naruto's hands.

"Konto!" Naruto exclaimed in shock before flicking his nose, "Don't do that, he's just scared!"

"Vee-vee, vee," Konto growled at the bird when he released Pidgey's tail. The Pidgey blinked, still stiff in Naruto's hands, before it chirped back.

"Gi-gi. Gi-gi-gi-gigi?"

"Vee-vee," Konto nodded, answering a question that went unknown to Naruto for quite a while. The blonde looked between the two Pokémon before Konto went to his hand and lightly nipped it. Loosening his grip, Naruto allowed for the Pidgey to slip out of his hands. The small bird hopped back and looked at the two, its head tilted to the right.

"Gi?" it chirped questionably. Konto hopped to the left of the crouched Trainer in a ready stance, before looking at his bewildered friend.

"Konto? What...Does this Pidgey want to fight?" Naruto asked, turning to face them, watching as the Pidgey slipped back into a bird-like ready stance as well. Understanding the situation, but not the cause, Naruto grinned and pushed himself to his feet at the ready, "Alright then. A fight's what you want, then it's a fight you'll get!"

"Gi!" Pidgey cried back before flapping its wings and sending sand into the air.

"Konto, push through the sand and give that bird a Head-butt!" Naruto instructed, making the Pokémon nod before rushing towards its chosen foe. The Eevee built up momentum and ducked his head down, the eyes squinting in preparation for the throbbing headache that would come. Unfortunately for Konto, the Pidgey had other ideas, as it jumped up and flapped its tiny wings, evading the attack and causing Konto to slam headfirst into a rock.

"Konto!" Naruto exclaimed with concern. The Eevee stumbled backwards in a daze while the Pidgey chirped in victory before flying backwards and up.

"Vee...?" Konto moaned out in pain. The brown Pokémon shook his head and looked around before Naruto called out, "Konto, it's above you! Jump back and evade!"

As instructed, Konto leapt backwards before the Pidgey could collide with him. Growling lowly, the Eevee waited patiently for a second before charging the Pidgey. The small bird was taken by surprise by the sudden brown body slamming into its own, causing both of the Pokémon to roll towards the blonde trainer.

"Thatta boy, Konto! Tackle the Pidgey to the ground!" Naruto cheered when the two Pokémon collided on Konto's split second attack, "Now get up and Head-butt him again!"

As his Trainer instructed, Konto got back to his feet with a bit of a pant in his breaths. As the Pidgey slowly stood, the Eevee braced itself before dashing forward and slamming his head into the Pidgey's beak. The small bird was caught completely off guard and consequently went flying through the air, without a single flap of its wings, before being caught by the Trainer it had run into only moments ago.

"Not bad," Naruto complimented the bird as he pulled an empty Pokéball out, "But ya can't beat the best. Rest now, I'll get ya in tip-top shape after I get into Viridian, ok?"

"Gi-gi..." the bird chirped back before a red color enveloped its body. Naruto waited patiently as the red and white ball in his hand hummed for several seconds before it dinged, signaling the successful capture of the Pidgey.

"Right on!" Naruto said with a grin as he holstered the ball on his belt. The blonde then went to his exhausted Eevee and picked the small Pokémon up. With a smile on his face, Naruto cradled the Pokémon and spoke softly, "Ya did great, Konto. Rest now, I'll get you and the Pidgey to a Pokécenter ASAP."

"Ve...Ve...Ve..." panted Konto in reply before he slipped into a calm sleep. Naruto grinned before he resumed his run towards the city. Thankfully, the rest of the run could be called a short jog, and there wasn't another Pidgey incident thanks to the careful way Naruto ran.

Naruto walked around Viridian looking for a Pokécenter when a siren went off behind him. Stopping with a groan, Naruto turned to see a blue haired woman dressed in a Police uniform get off of a motorcycle after it stopped right in front of him. Irritated by the noise, Konto opened one eye and lowly growled at the woman, upset she ruined his rest.

"Hey, where are you going with that Eevee?" the woman asked, her arms crossed over her chest, "I've got a report of a scumbag stealing an Eevee and so far that Eevee matches the description."

Naruto groaned and pulled his Pokédex out, flipping the ownership data page out and showed it to her, "Listen officer, I'm just trying to get my Eevee, Konto, to a Pokémon center. He just wore himself out fighting a Pidgey for the first time."

"Hm, well everything seems legit here," The Officer said as she handed the Pokédex back to the young trainer, "As to where the Center is, go down the street past that market, take a right, and it's the first building on your left."

"Thanks Officer..." Naruto trailed off before being given a smile.

"Jenny," the now named Jenny said before walking back to her bike, "Now clear the road, you're blocking an Officer's path."

"Yes ma'am," Naruto shot back with a grin of thanks before walking to the left and following Officer Jenny's directions. The blonde sighed in relief as he walked into the Pokémon center, when suddenly a brown haired boy rushed at him.

"YOU!" the brunette said. Naruto slid to the right, avoiding the boy's attempt at tackling him. Annoyed, Naruto put his foot on the backside of the purple-shirt wearing brunette and kicked forward, making the downed boy stumble before rounding with a growl, "Give me back my Eevee!"

"Your Eevee?" Naruto asked with a tick on his head, "Konto's been with me since I left Pallet Town! Prof. Oak gave him to me so I could find Mew!"

"Wait, Pallet Town? Oak?" The boy said blinking before smirking, "So, Gramps thinks I'm that awesome that he gave another rookie an Eevee, too?"

"Gramps?" Naruto parroted with a confused look on his face. Before the boy could continue, six girls ran in, each holding an Eevee in their arms.

"Gary, Gary! I found your Eevee!" the girls each exclaimed with a smile on their face. Gary looked at each Eevee carefully, the first three flinching under his gaze, the next two growling angrily at him, while the last wagged its tail. Gary turned his gaze back to the two growling at him, staring both of them in the eye for a good several seconds before one backed down. Smirking triumphantly, Gary pulled his Pokéball out and returned the Eevee that held its gaze with him to its contents.

Naruto, having witnessed all of this, blinked a few times before groaning, "Oh god...It's the Sasuke of Kanto..."

The five girls with the incorrect Eevee were then turned around by several angry trainers, and even an irked little girl, before the Eevees were returned to their rightful owners. The ninja watching shook his head, turning around and muttering about how stupid he was to have been crushing on a fan-girl. Just before he could greet the Nurse behind the counter, Gary called out, "Hey looser! What's your name anyway?"

On one hand, Naruto mused for a moment, I could introduce myself and blab the truth...but on the other, I can ignore him and get Konto better...like it's that big of a choice!

"Hello Nurse Joy!" Naruto greeted the pink haired woman wearing nurse attire that was pink under a white apron as he laid Konto onto the counter, "I need help. My Eevee's exhausted and I need him and my new Pidgey to be healed."

"Oh, certainly! I just need your Pokédex to register you into the National Trainer's League," the nurse replied with a smile as the blonde did so, "Thank you. Your Pokémon will be returned momentarily!"

"No rush!" Naruto replied with a grin before turning to face a fuming Gary, his six cheerleaders staring at the strange blonde. Naruto blinked confusedly before tilting his head, "What's your problem?"

"My problem? I don't have a problem! You-You're nobody! Why would I care if you don't know me?" Gary asked with a scowl. Naruto blinked again before cupping his chin.

"Ya know, I think I've seen you somewhere before..." he mused, making the boy clench his teeth, before the blonde's fingers' snapped, "Oh! You're Old Man Oak's grandson, right? Jerry? Barry...Was it Larry?"

"IT'S GARY!" the fuming trainer exclaimed, "Gary Oak! Next Pokémon Champion!"

"Uh-huh...well, nice ta meet ya-Oh, wait. Have ya seen Ash Ketchum?" Naruto asked, making Gary's face revert to a curious one, "Mom's worried about him and the little punk hasn't checked in lately."

"Ash? Ash, Ash, Ash...hmm..." Gary pretended to think hard, not noticing that Naruto had called Ash's mother 'Mom' rather than 'Mrs. Ketchum', "Last I saw Ass Ketchum, he was on the S. S. Anne, I think."

"The what?" Naruto asked with a head tilt, causing a few female witnesses to squeal quietly as he stared dumbly at the boy opposite of him.

Gary smirked, "Oh, right...you're just a rookie. You wouldn't be on Ass's level...which makes you in the Red, doesn't it?"

"...I don't know what that means," Naruto started slowly as his face fell into a scowl, "But I'm pretty sure that was an insult...You're lucky that Konto is in the center or I'd be challenging you right now."

"Yeah, right!" Gary scoffed as he turned to leave, "You and your lame Pokémon haven't got anything on my skills. Well, smell ya later, Loser. I'm gonna go find that jerk that tried to take my Eevee!"

With that, Gary and his entourage made their leave, the girls all cheering his name as he smirked and shut his eyes. Naruto felt a deep dislike for Gary, but not the same way he did about Sasuke.

Thinking about Sasuke made the blonde's heart sink once again. Sakura never would have eyes for him, and he never really had eyes for her. She was just a tool to best Sasuke, Naruto had realized during his time in the Oak's spare bed, because as Naruto saw it, if he could nab Sakura, Sasuke's arguably biggest fan (Sans Ino Yamanaka) he could beat Sasuke in anything. The blonde remembered the promise he made, and knew that in order to keep his old promise; he had to keep this new one about finding Mew.

Why is my life so complicated? Naruto asked with his head in his hands as he sat in the waiting area for Konto and his yet-to-be-named Pidgey to heal. The blonde stayed put until he fell asleep from exhaustion, dreaming of becoming something other than Hokage, and staying in the world he was now a part of.

Naruto woke up the next morning rather comfortable and warm, blinking before he found himself under a blanket on the waiting couch. A small round Pokémon was staring at him before it smiled, "Chan-See!"

"Yah!" Naruto cried out as he leapt up and pulled a kunai out defensively. Taking in his surroundings, the blonde relaxed and sheepishly scratched his head, "Heh, sorry about that. Wait...What are you?"

Naruto flipped his Pokédex out and allowed it to quickly scan the Pokémon in front of him. Dexter beeped before it spoke: "Chansey; The Nurse Pokémon. Standing usually at a height of three feet and two inches, the round Chansey is usually the height of a young child but a Chansey's weight is that of a young adult. In its pouch is an egg of unknown origin or purpose. Most Chansey are seen helping Nurse Joys around the world in Pokécenters and make for good friends and companions."

Naruto blinked before looking at the blanket and back to the Chansey with a grin, "Did you do this?"

"Chan-Chansey!" the Chansey replied with a nod. Naruto smiled and stood with a stretch, before turning to face the Pokémon.

"Thanks Chansey," he said as he folded the blanket up and handed it back to the Pokémon, "I guess I was a little tired, too."

"Perfect timing," Joy said as she walked out with a Pokéball in her hands and an energetic Eevee bounding next to her before rushing towards the grinning blonde. Naruto caught Konto as he leapt up at the blonde, getting a few happy licks from his healed friend on the chin. Joy smiled and continued as she handed the blonde his Pokéball, "Your Pokémon are completely healed and I believe that you've got to be ready to be registered for the Indigo League, yes?"

"Right, so the first gym is here in Viridian, right?" Naruto asked as he took the Pidgey's Pokéball and holstered it on his belt.

Joy shook her head, "Sorry, but the Viridian Gym Leader hasn't been in town for months now. The nearest gym is in Pewter City. I'm sorry, but it's the closest at only a few days' worth of a trip if you cut through the Viridian Woods."

"Ah, I think I'll be fine," Naruto said with a smile, "Thank you though, Nurse Joy!"

The blonde then made his leave, unaware of the two pairs of eyes watching him leave with the Eevee on his head. The two eyes belonged to two figures wearing black and white outfits, the chest of their shirts being covered by a giant red R. These two figures were members of the crime syndicate Team Rocket, a national criminal orginazation run by the elsuive Boss Rocket, a mysterious man with an infinate amount of money, influence, and manpower. Like most teams within the syndicate, these two were both a man and a woman. They were perched on the building opposite of the Pokécenter and had high tech spying equipment locked on the blonde as he happily talked to his equally happy Eevee.

"Heh, the poor squirt doesn't even know we're following him!" the male figure said with a scratchy voice, "This will be easier than the first attempt. I still can't believe that stupid girl managed to sneak the Eevee out of our warehouse."

"It's a shame he's so young...I'll be he'll be a heartbreaker when he's older. I'll have to look him up to apologize afterwards," the female said with a flip of her hair before smirking, "But for now, let's focus on getting that Eevee!"

"Yeah. The Boss will be ecstatic to receive another Eevee from his two top agents in Kanto," the male said with a laugh. From the female's hip, a red line shot out and a small Pokémon chittered quietly, making both of them laugh.

"Right you are, Ratatta," the woman said with a smirk as she recalled the rat-like Pokémon, "Let's get us an Eevee, Butch."

"After you, Cassidy."

"Hey Konto, what'd ya think of Old Man Oak's Grandson?" Naruto asked his companion, unaware of the figures plotting to steal his partner, who was resting comfortably on his head once again, "If ya ask me, I think Jerry was too full of himself. He reminds me of this guy I knew, a total asshole. Geez, and after we find Mew I have to bring that idiot back to our home...WHOA! This is the Viridian Forest?"

Naruto stopped outside of a small opening into the immense wood that stood before him. The blonde crossed his arms as he thought of how he would know the right way before he got an idea, "Shadow Clones! I can get them to find the exit and then get through here faster!"

"What's the kid talking about?" Butch asked his partner. Cassidy shrugged but the two stood firm from where they were perched on the branch of a tree, waiting for their target to make his first/last mistake.

Naruto made the signature Tiger seal and channeled chakra, before calling out the name to the technique, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

("Kage Bun-wha?" the two adults repeated before their target was engulfed in smoke. They coughed, quietly to remain hidden, as the smoke cleared before their eyes widened to immense portions.)

Standing outside the entrance to the forest was no longer just one teen with a single Eevee, but now there was a small army of them. By headcount, it was estimated to be about fifty blondes, while one remained in the back, the Eevee on his head staring in awe at the sheer amount of duplicates his Trainer created.

"VEE?" cried the shocked Konto as the original scratched the back of his head.

"Whoops, overdid it a little," Naruto chuckled out before clapping his hands together, "Alright men, your mission is to find the fastest route through the woods. I want to be in Pewter City by dusk, so move out!"

"Yes, Boss!" the clones cried as one before vanishing in blurs, leaving behind a grinning Naruto and a paralyzed-by-shock Eevee.

The two adults perched on a branch fell backwards from shock, the blue haired male turning to his yellow-orange haired counterpart.

"...So, ya still wanna go after this kid?" Butch asked with a bit of nervousness in his voice, "Cuz if ya ask me...I think he's an alien."

"You're an alien!" Cassidy hissed, punching the man in the head, "Whether he's a freak or not doesn't matter, think of how the Boss will reward us if we manage to get him!"

Butch paused as he thought about the possible rewards for abducting or recruiting the young trainer to Team Rocket's cause. Cassidy watched patiently before her partner's face became a goofy smile and blood dripped from his nose. The woman felt an eye twitch in irritation before slamming her fist into his head, "HENTAI!"

Naruto looked over at the sound of a pained cry before he grunted when he felt a phantom pain of being stung by a Weedle's horn. The blonde looked at his hand where he recalled being stung before he came to a realization.

"Ho-ly shit..." the boy whispered as a grin slowly inched across his face, "I can receive the memories of clones! I wonder what else I can use this for? Ah, no time for it now, we'll think about this later."

"Vee," Konto confirmed with a nod from his Trainer's head. The Eevee was staring in the direction a clone went before it vanished from his view. Poor Konto was trying to think of how his Trainer managed to do a Double Team with a silly name before returning his attention to the blonde fingering his Pidgey's Pokéball.

"Alright, time for a name little guy!" Naruto exclaimed as he tossed the ball into the air. The ball cracked open and out came a fully refreshed Pidgey. The small bird Pokémon chirped happily as it perched on Naruto's bare arm, the Trainer petting its head softly with a smile on his face, "Well, you're definitely tame now, aren't ya? Guess everyone needs a good whooping now and then, hm? Well, I could name you Sky, but that's gotta be overdone...Oh, I know! Like Konto is Konohagakure and Kanto combined, I'll call you...Virusa! I found you outside Viridian and that area reminds me of Kusa! What do you think, Virusa?"

"Gi-gi!" the newly named Virusa chirped happily as she flew off her new Trainer's arm and barrel-rolled happily. Naruto laughed when Virusa flew at Konto, sending them to the ground in a playful roll.

He could tell this was going to be a fun trip.

AN: And there's chapter two. Man, this story is getting really fun to write. I feel like a little kid again, and as Christmas is nearing, the feeling is only getting stronger and to be honest...I think my parents like it. Creepy. Ah well, gotta do with what ya are, right?

Anyway, I figured y'all wanted an explanation for Naruto's Pokémon's names. They're going to be a mix of the area he caught them in and what area of his home it reminds him of. And yes, he's going to be facing off against Biff and Cassidy. Why? Because I think that those two are highly overlooked. I mean it's always Jesse and James, but what about Borat and Cassidy?

And yes, that's a reference to the show. Just so ya know though, I don't remember when they come in, so I messed with the timeline a smidge. And as for Gary, he's basically going to be a rival to Ash, but Naruto will be his antagonist.

Well, I'd best get back to KSOC. Review people, cuz I'm a Junkie for Fame.
