Fist of the Pikachu!: Nindo of Legends
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or Ranma or ... wait a minute?...(hehehe)... I DO own Pokémon and Ranma and Naruto and F.O.P. Or at least in my head i do. But just so you know I'm not making a single cent off of this.(Bastards!) Also dedicated to my girlfriend Cecelia who although needs lots of attention loves me enough to give me time to write this.
Chapter 2
Later that night...
Inside the Goldenrod city Pokémon center, Naruto paced the floor for the better part of two hours as he, Whitney and her assistant waited for word on the tyrogue that he had brought to them. As they waited, Whitney tried to get to know the orange-clad ninja but for the first time in a long time Naruto was too deep in thought to even notice her attempts to speak to him, or at least to her that is what it looked like.
Inside Naruto's mind
As Naruto stood outside the seal of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon he couldn't help but notice something was very different than before, it felt as though... the demon fox was dying! "Hey not that I'm not happy, but it feels like your about to die. What's going on?", just as Naruto asked this he felt a great pain from the fox as though it was not only going to perish but it was sad to do so as well.
"YOU ARE WHAT WENT ON!", the demon roared, "Your idiotic attempts to bring that cursed Uchiha brat back to your village caused this! When you and the "mutt-boy" decided to use that kage level jutsu you apparently didn't choose to read the fine print. That tracking jutsu doesn't just use the chakra of the caster, it also uses natural energies from the planet, or at least it was supposed to. From what I understand (or could make out through the blinding pain), the energy that hit you when you jumped in front of your friend ( I say you should have let him die than destroy the village after but anyway...) was from something else, something to do with science and a type of chakra I had never felt before..."
The Kyuubi stopped then because he had noticed that Naruto was staring blankly at him with a look of confusion, "So what are you saying?, because I have no clue what you just said." The Kyuubi thought on this for a moment than without warning, slammed his claws into the bars of his cage. "Listen "kit" and listen well. When that energy hit you, I had to use my chakra to keep us alive, and now that act alone has caused me to succumb to death. The pain that you felt as the energy brought us to this world, was no mere byproduct of the travel, that pain was your genes absorbing the essence of my chakra and my intellect. Basically had this not have happened and you were to unlock more than four of my tails the power would rip you apart and cause you grave damage,"
"Ya but don't you heal me?" Naruto asked, he had backed up a bit but was still near enough to see the red outline of the fox's giant head. "Yes I do, but rapidly healing you after taking so much damage takes too much from your body and it can't handle it. You would have died shortly after gaining such power, yet luck prevails again as now that your part kyuubi and you have the essence of all my vast knowledge (which is why you can talk to the creatures of this world), I think since I am to die you will be my beneficiary. I promise you on my honor as the Kyuubi No Kitsune, if you were to remove the seal holding me back, I could grant you the power of all NINE of my tails and since you are now able to grasp the most complex theories (thanks to having my intellect) I will also write for you a master scroll, in it you will find every jutsu I have ever seen and the training instructions for them. One more thing, after I have written the scroll and you have all my power, I will die. It is then you will receive my final gift: A Doujutsu called: The Fox's gaze. Much like the kekkei genkai of your village: the Sharingan, and the Byakugan. Like the Sharingan, the gaze will allow you to copy jutsu, anticipate attacks, and see through Genjutsu. Also like the Byakugan, it will allow you to see the chakra system, that includes the flow and the chakra points."
Naruto couldn't believe his ears, The Great Demon Fox is dying and wants to give Naruto these new powers, he would never have believed it if it wasn't for a well known legend that if a demon gives you it's word of honor, it will do what it says. He didn't know what to do, he was stuck in a strange world full of creatures that were like mini demons, with no way home and now he had a golden opportunity to gain new powers. "Sign me up!" Naruto cheered out loud with a thumb to his chest. "Now remove the seal"
Back in the real world...
Whitney and her assistant had spent the last twenty minutes sitting around chatting amongst themselves after finally realizing the strange blonde boy wasn't going to speak to them, they were currently in a heated debate on who the better looking elite four trainer was when Nurse Joy came into the waiting room with a tyrogue in her arms. It was only then Naruto looked up from his pacing, a look of real relief on his face. "Who does this tyrogue belong to?" Naruto stepped forward "I found him as a gang of pokémon were about to attack him, but I'd be willing to hold on to him till I can find a good trainer."
Nurse Joy looked at the boy, his off choice off clothing aside he seemed like a good kid, " Okay but you have to promise to protect him until you do." Naruto looked at her and smirked in a strange way, "Not a problem protecting people is my way."
About fifteen minutes later on the way to Whitney's farm Naruto had given everybody the basics of who he was and what he was doing there in Goldenrod City. In reality what he told them and what was really going on were two different things, telling them he was a student from another country trying to learn about pokémon just about as lame a cover story he could tell. Yet the girls and the tyrogue seemed to believe every word he said, Whitney was also generous enough to tell Naruto he could stay in the loft above the barn and work there until he could find himself a place of his own. Naruto on the other hand wanted to know what his new friend, tyrogue wanted to do.
"Hey Whitney I'm gonna take tyrogue and get settled in for the night, see you tomorrow!" said Naruto as he waved and gave the gym leader his trademark fox smile.
On the walk to the barn
Tyrogue was kind of confused. Before waking up in the pokémon clinic he had seen what he thought to be about four of this blonde boy jump the bullies that were picking on him, like he had used a double-team attack, but one of them had even taken him to safety before disappearing. Then he woke up and was left in the care of this "Naruto" as they stayed with the local Gym Leader Whitney. Deciding not to be a burden on the nice boy or the gym leader tyrogue gave his farewell as he headed off back to the woods where he had been staying.
"Thank you for taking me to the pokémon clinic and stopping those bullies.", assuming that his goodbye would be heard as humans normally do tyrogue kept going without looking behind him.
"Are you sure that's what you really want to do?" asked Naruto, he had seen how the other people of this world spoke to the creatures. It was as though they didn't truly understand what pokémon said, so he did his best to hide his smile when tyrogue spun around and face faulted in surprise. "I kinda thought you could travel around with me while I try to learn how to use pokémon attacks and control my new powers, what do you think?"
"..., you mean you could..., since when?...", and with that tyrogue fainted.
"Well "kit" are you ready?" Picking up the young pokémon and hurrying to the loft in the barn, Naruto set the tyrogue in a makeshift bed of straw before heading out to the forest just on the outskirts of the city to receive the final evidence of the legendary Kyuubi No Kitsune.
Once Naruto found a suitable place atop a grassy hill, he sat down and closed his eyes. Getting to the seal of the fox seemed a little more difficult than usual, but as he approached the cage in his mind he noted the decayed look to the chamber, as though it was dying with the demon.
"Okay! Let's do this before I change my mind!"
"And so it shall be!"
As Naruto peeled the seal off of the cage, the demon's chakra emerged from the now open prison, followed directly by the demon itself. As it approached Naruto it shrinked in size considerably, to stand only about as tall as the hyper-active ninja was, "Now just allow me to possess your body and infuse it with my power and knowledge, and along with that I will leave you two scrolls. Both contain the same chakra control techniques and jutsu training, but I thought since you would like to learn the attacks that the Ranma boy knows, maybe you could get him to make you scroll with his so-called pokémon jutsu and you could trade."
"Wow Kyuubi, who would've guessed it would take you being on Death's door to be this nice!, (kidding kyu) But really thanks!" said Naruto as the fox began to envelope his body and merge with it.
Outside on the hill as Naruto's body began to bubble with red chakra and taking the shape of a fox with many tails, tyrogue watched from behind a tree as the boy began to emit wave after wave of energy that the pokémon had never before felt. The pokémon's knees began to shake violently as he watched the blonde boy's body begin to grow short, red fur and real tails sprouted from the ninja's back. As Naruto's body continued to make it's changes, tyrogue noticed his eyes for the first time since waking up and following Naruto to this hill.
As far as tyrogue could see, Naruto's eye's had gone from a bright cerulean-blue, to a demonic, jet-black eye with only the slitted pupil, colored blood red, as a differing color. And as the winds died down, the fighting pokémon looked to find a six foot tall, nine-tailed, red fox sitting with a two REALLY large scrolls in front of it. Tyrogue watched as this demonic looking vulpine weaved it's hands and fingers together in several formations and pressed both hands to both scrolls, with a loud bang and a puff of smoke the parchments were partially open and had what looked to be instructions written inside.
"Now Naruto my part is done," said the kyuubi, "Make good use of what I have given you, if I am to perish than at least some of my bloodline will be passed." And with what final bit of energy it's spirit had, the Great Kyuubi No Kitsune looked to the stars for one last time as it's mind and soul passed into the afterlife.
Naruto awoke to find himself in his newly transformed were-fox body and feeling like he had A LOT more power than before. He was just about to wonder how he was going to get back to his body when it began to change all on its own, "Wow that saves time!" Naruto exclaimed as his body quickly and smoothly changed back to normal, orange jumpsuit and all. And for the first time Naruto Uzumaki actually blanched at his own choice of clothing, what had he been think...
THUNK!
"AHHHH! Don't kill me I swear I won't tell anyone what I saw, JUST DON'T KILL ME!!!!" whined the tyrogue as it crawl in fear on his hands and knees from under the bush it had been hiding in. The kunai that Naruto had thrown, hit the tree behind Tyrogue, just above it's head.
"Hey don't worry about that, I promise I won't hurt you in any way, just tell me why you were hiding in the bushes?" Naruto had to admit, if it weren't for the new senses he seemed to have gotten from his new demonic powers he never would've known his new charge had been there. So as he watched the pokémon reluctantly walk towards him to answer the question, he thought over how he should handle the situation.
"W-well w-w-when y-you left ah-I followed y-you h-here a-and watched you, a-are y-you going t-to k-k-k-kill me?"
"No, I won't kill you. I promised that Nurse Joy I would find you a new trainer, but in light of the fact you just saw me transform in to a demon fox, it's either I kill you... or I become your new trainer and teach you how to become a ninja just like me! So what do you think?" Uzumaki watched in interest as the fighting pokémon face-faulted for the second time in as many hours, but then interest changed to humor as the little one jumped up and began to babble incoherently.
"Ohwowyouraninjaican'tbelieveitI'mgonnabeaninjawoohoo..." Naruto lost track of what tyrogue had been saying, at that point so he decided to make good and become the pokémon's ninja sensei, but first things first, he had to know what the Kyuubi had meant when he said Naruto had a new doujutsu and he had to get to know the creature he had only come to know as Tyrogue, the name of his pokémon species.
"So kid, before we start I need to know some things about you and in turn I'll tell you about me, after that I'll evaluate your level of skill and then we'll start your training from there." Naruto was barely able to contain his excitement, two days in a new world and he already got rid of the Kyuubi and made a new friend, it seemed luck was finally on his side.
"Well," tyrogue blushed as he started, "I'm a tyrogue: a fighting pokémon," (he thought it necessary to say that, considering what he saw the blonde do, and he had never seen a human evolve into a demon pokémon.) " I hatched from my egg two years ago to a trainer named Tyler. At first he was good to me but when he wanted me to evolve and I didn't he left me alone, the only thing he said as he left was '... A pokémon that can't evolve! What a joke!...', that was a year ago. Since then I've been living in the woods and fighting strong pokémon so I can get stronger without evolving, then I'll show Tyler I don't need people who don't truly care for those closest to them." Tyrogue finished with a 'sniffle' and a defiant grin that told Naruto all he needed to know.
When Naruto looked at tyrogue he saw the same pain and loss that both he and Gaara had felt and decided the truth of his situation would be best when introducing himself, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm a ninja from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, the strongest ninja village in my world, and yes I said 'My World'. Due to an incident involving a dangerous tracking technique and some demonic chakra( I'll explain the demon and chakra parts soon), I ended up in this world. In my world, a very powerful, and very cranky nine-tailed fox demon attacked my village the day I was born, the fourth Hokage (the strongest ninja in the village), chose me as the demon's vessel and sealed it within me. So long story short: The demon, not wanting me to die(cause it would die too), used it's chakra to stop the energy from the tracking jutsu, from killing me and when it all mixed it caused me to end up here in this world. It also caused my D.N.A. To absorb the essence of the demon, allowing me all its power and knowledge, which is why I can understand you. Unfortunately for the fox the process killed it, leaving me like this."
Naruto watched tyrogue's eyes as they spun around in their sockets, the new information apparently bewildering to the small creature, giving it a minute before beginning again. "Now personally, I like ramen, training, and good people. I dislike: not having ramen, and bullies, And before coming here I was going to be the next Hokage! Now that that's finished, what should I call you?"
The tyrogue looked in disbeliefe not even Tyler had considered giving him a name, and now this boy wanted to train him and give him a name! "Now since you were able to sneak up that close, I should give you a name that reflects that, hmmm... I know! From now on I'll call you Kagemaru. So Kagemaru now that you have a name, I need to know just how well you can fight..."
There was no warning as Naruto came at Kagemaru with a sharp left-hook immediately followed by a knee to the gut, both were barely dodged as Kagemaru quickly learned he needed to defend himself, or he'd find a way to say hello to the ground. Backing up, the fighting pokémon readied his quick-attack, only to find he'd been knocked forward onto his face. Looking back Kagemaru saw Naruto in the very spot he'd just been standing in, his frustration building he used a quick-attack to rush the orange-clad ninja.
Naruto had just knocked Kagemaru to the ground and was about to boast his own fighting prowess, when he found he couldn't get the air needed to speak, looking down to find the tyrogue in stomach. Kagemaru wasn't done though, the quick-attack was followed up by repeated mega-punches, with a final mega-punch uppercut to Naruto's jaw.
!Poof! Naruto had quickly used a substitution jutsu just before getting hit with the final punch from the pokémon, "Wow that was cool Kagemaru! Can you do that again or is that all you have?" Hoping the taunt would work Naruto used his newfound knowledge to direct chakra to his eyes, activating his kekkei genkai: The Fox's Gaze, he watched as Kagemaru gathered an energy around his body and pushed that energy behind him propelling him at Naruto.
Moving to the side just in time to dodge the attack, Naruto could actually see where Kagemaru was going to be and where he would attack from next. Again Naruto watched through blood red slits as the energy Kagemaru held, began to gather in his hands hardening them to what was the mega-punch attack! This time though Kagemaru sped up his pace and began to add aerial maneuvers and kicks to his attacks, causing Naruto to back up only slightly, and neither combatant overlooked it.
Seeing a chance to catch Naruto off guard, Kagemaru used a quick-attack to gain space between himself and Naruto. Putting all his energy into this last attack, Kagemaru could feel the slight breeze the power was causing as it gathered in his hands. Naruto was shocked to say the least, Kagemaru had used the "body movement" technique to move about fifteen feet away, where he gathered an amount of energy Naruto was beginning to consider lethal into his hands.
Using the Fox's Gaze he tracked the energy as it moved through the pathways into the palms of the hands, there it began to condense and grow smaller, as more and more energy was fed into the ball that had formed, it grew smaller and smaller. It was then the Gaze showed him three things: One-how Kagemaru was going to use the attack, Two-what the attack did, and Three-how to do all of the attacks Kagemaru had been using.
As Kagemaru finished gathering the energy and yelled "Hyper-Beam!" and he thrust his hands forward and unleashed a highly concentrated beam of energy at Naruto, as the attack neared the Fox-ninja, Kagemaru was surprised to see an identical beam of energy coming to meet his. Naruto had used his new power to copy and counter with the exact same attack, the results of two colliding beams of energy however were not thought of, as both ninja and pokémon were thrown in opposing directions from winds the massive ball of destruction had created.
"Wow I'm beginning to think I don't need that fox's extra scroll!" exclaimed Naruto as he got up some time later and dusted himself off, "Maybe I should look for Kagemaru and see if he's okay."
Walking back to the top of the hill, Naruto could see a crater easily thirty feet across and roughly ten feet deep, and on the other side of hole he could see Kagemaru, slightly bruised and holding his right arm he gave Naruto a smile as his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Kagemaru had fainted and began to fall into the crater, Naruto knowing even if he used chakra to run he'd never make it, instead Naruto used his new demonic chakra and the Fox's Gaze to augment Kagemaru's "movement technique" and with a newfound way to maneuver over air caught the fighting pokémon and sped off to the Goldenrod City Pokémon clinic, to get Kagemaru some medical attention.
Next chapter: Naruto joins the pokémon league, meets Ranma, and Who is the green haired girl that just won't leave him alone?
Author's Notes:
Okay guys there it is, the second chapter. Please be kind!!!!( a chibi skater guy holds up a sign reading 'he needs his ego stroked'). Anyway I know I said Naruto wouldn't be meeting Ranma but I figured "hey why not just get it out of the way", that way I won't end up having Naruto chasing Ranma around Johto like one of the Nerima Wrecking Crew and Naruto can get on with training and his first adversary in the world of Pokémon! So please Read and Review, constructive flames appreciated as well, also I'll be posting to polls: Should Naruto stay in Johto? And Who should his next pokémon be? Choices of pokémon will be in the polls. Polls close 01/31/08 As always Ja ne!
