I don't own Pokémon or Naruto.

Chap 3: The beginning.

~Professor Oaks Lab~

"Sorry Ash, that one's gone too." Ash was talking to professor Oak inside his lab. Apparently, he gave away all his Pokémon.

"Come on professor! There's got to be one more!" Ash wined.

"Well…" He started, before a figure came barging in through the floor with a small Pokémon not far behind.

"Hey! It's that guy I crashed into!" Ash said, pointing at the lying figure.

"Why hello there!" Oak greeted to the figure on the floor as he picked himself up. "What can I do for you?"

"Well, me and my friend here-"Naruto started, pointing at Kuruma, who was sitting down and looking around at the room full of strange technology.

"Say no more! You want me to examine your Pokémon! A famous professor like me gets asked all the time!" Oak cut Naruto mid-sentence, and picked up Kurama, placing him on a table. He started shining flashlights at him, rubbing his fur, and looking inside the Vulpixes mouth, which greatly annoyed Kurama. "He's a healthy little guy! How long ago did you capture him?" asked Oak.

"Well… I never actually had to capture Kurama, he comes with me willingly," Naruto replied, somewhat unsure of what the Professor asked him.

He nodded and continued his question. "And a nickname to! But I meant when did you use a Pokeball on him?"

"Pokeball?" asked a confused Naruto, "What's-"

"Say no more!" Cut off Oak. He walked away a little bit and started shuffling through drawers, and took out a small red and white ball. He came back over and placed it into Naruto's hand. "Just use that on him and your good to go!"

Naruto was seriously confused on what to do, and decided to look at Ash for some help. Seeing his confusion, Ash did a throwing motion with his arms. Naruto saw this and nodded, chucking the Pokeball at Kurama.

It hit his head and he was sucked up into the ball in a red beam of light. The ball started to shake a little bit before making a popping sound.

"Congratulation! You just caught your Vulpix!" Oak said delighted. Ash was also smiling, since he just saw a Pokémon being captured before his very eyes.

"Vulpix?" he asked confusingly.

Oak nodded, "Yes. 'Kurama,' as you called him, is a Vulpux! One of the many species of Pokémon!"

Naruto still didn't know what exactly a Pokémon was, but decided to just nod and take the Pokeball. He pressed the button on it and it shrunk down. He was surprised by this, and put the ball in his kunai holster (Which surprisingly was empty). "Thanks old man."

Professor Oak smiled and nodded, "No problem young man. Now tell me, do you have a Pokedex?"

"… A what?"

"Say no more! I have one that I can give to you!" he started shuffling around through another one of his many drawers, and pulled out a Pokedex. "Professors like me carry many of these on us for new trainers. Now let me take your picture…" he said, about to register Naruto into the national Pokedex for his id.

Naruto didn't know what to expect, but what he didn't expect was the strange machine actually recognizing him. "Naruto Uzuky, Viridian City," it said in a robotic voice.

"Oh! You came all the way from Viridian?" Naruto was confused, but decided to nod anyways. "Good! You're all set! And here, have a few more Pokeballs too while you're at it."

Naruto thanked the Professor and took the dex. He decided that the old man probably wasn't the best to tell his story to, since he would probably ramble about some scientific thing about how it was all a dream or whatever. What he was really curious about though was who this Naruto Uzuky is. 'If this is a different universe… is there another me?'

"By the way, I've noticed your clothes are wrecked," Oak said, pointing to Naruto's ripped clothing. "Well, you can't go on a journey like that. I won't allow it! Tell you what young man, if you walk down that hallway and take the second door on the right, you'll find my old closet. You can find a few old clothes of mine you can wear."

Naruto nodded and walked off, not entirely sure about how he felt about wearing this old man's old clothes.

"Now, where was I?" the professor thought out loud, turning back to Ash "… Ah! Yes! Ash, your Pokémon! Like I was going to say, I do have one Pokémon left, but I'm not sure if it would be suited for you."

"Professor I'll take it!" Ash replied excitedly.

Oak begrudgingly nodded and activated a button on his table, revealing a hidden Pokeball with a thunderbolt sticker on it. The ball opened up in a red light, and a yellow mouse came out of it. "Pikachu!"

"Its name is Pikachu." Oak informed Ash.

"It's so cute it's the best of all!" Ash replied.

"You'll see," replied Oak. Ash was confused as to what Oak meant by that, until it started to electrocute him when he tried to hug it.

"Pikachu's are usually shy Pokémon, but they can have a shocking personality."

"I see what you mean…"

"Now take these, your own Pokedex and Pokeballs."

"Thank youUUUUUUU!" Ash replied, as Pikachu shocked him, the Professor.

When Pikachu stopped, the Professor got a hold of himself and cleared his throat. "Now Ash, let's wait for Naruto and head outside."

~Outside the Professors Lab~

A huge group of people were waiting outside for them. Or more accurately, waiting for Ash. They were playing an assortment of instruments, and held up a banner with his name on it. In the front of the crowd, Ash's mom was there.

"Oh, Ash I'm so proud of you! You're finally going to fulfill your dream and start your Pokémon training. But I'm, I'm going to miss you so much. Oh, my little boy … I packed your sneakers and jeans, nice clean shirts and underwear and your favorite snacks and some hot chocolate in case you want something hot, but be careful not to burn yourself! And a pair of rubber gloves to do your laundry and a new clothes line to hang it out to dry -

"Mom, you're embarrassing me in front of all these people! Don't you know I'm a big kid now? Pokémon trainers can take care of themselves."

"Oh!" She said, taking notice of Naruto standing behind him, "And who might you be?"

"I'm Naruto, Naruto… Uzuky."Naruto said, deciding to go with his name in this universe. Naruto was now wearing a black shirt with a black and white pokeball logo on it. He had a pair of sliver jeans on, with his old kunai holster son his side, now holding his pokeballs. He had a black pair of basketball shoe on, and a pair of black fingerless gloves. He also had an old looking black backpack on, with a few patches here and there.

"Nice to meet you young man. Nice to see someone responsible will be going with my Ash," she said, before both Naruto and Ash looked at her strangely.

"What do you mean Miss/Mom?" they both asked.

"Well your both going out in the world with a Pokémon, so you're probably going the same way, right?"

Naruto blinked when he heard this. He had no intention of being involved with this kid in any way, but he guessed he needed some guide. "… Sure. I'll go with him."

"Really?" Ash said, looking up to the odd looking guy he met less than an hour ago.

"Sure, you're only ten, so you probably need someone to go along with you anyways. Don't want you to do anything stupid."

Ash huffed at that comment, but didn't say anything, deciding that someone looking out for him would be useful. "Fine then, you can come with me."

Delia smiled at that, and noticed the Pokémon with ash. "Hmmm? That's your Pokémon?"

"Pikachu" replied…. Pikachu.

"Yep that's my Pokémon."

"Pi."

"With Pikachu at my side I'll get all the Pokémon in the world."

"I thought all Pokémon stayed inside their pokéballs, why doesn't this one?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, right. Pikachu get in the ball now."

Pikachu: Pi-ka-chu-pi-ka-chu-pi-ka-chu

[In rhythm as Ash continually tosses a pokéball at Pikachu]

"Oh you're playing catch! You're friends already!"

"Uh, Sure. Pikachu and I are real pals! Right?" Naruto rolled his eyes at this comment,, knowing fully well on how Pikachu felt about Ash.

"But it's a little weird."

"Weird?" Ash asked, as Pikachu began to shock the crowd."

"Those rubber gloves your mom packed will come in handy." Said an electrified oak.

"Why?"

"Rubber doesn't conduct electricity."

"Hooray!"

"Don't forget to change your underwear, every single day." Naruto snickered at Ash's moms comment.

"Okay "he said begrudgingly.

"Pikachu."

~Outside of Pallet town~

Ash was dragging Pikachu along the road, wearing his rubber gloves and holding him on a wire he used as a leash. Naruto sweat dropped at the sight.

'That has to be animal cruelty,' he thought.

'Agreed,' replied Kurama through thought.

'Yea-wait. You can still talk to me inside that ball?' Naruto wondered, confused.

'Kit. I used to be inside your stomach when I talked to you. This small ball isn't enough to break our link.'

'Oh… ok.' Naruto thought back, still walking around with Ash. 'So…. What do you think of the situation right now?'

'… Tell the boy your story kit.' Kurama replied.

'What?! He'll think I'm crazy!' Naruto thought back.

'He's ten. Tell him anything convincingly enough and he'll believe it.' Kurama replied.

Naruto thought about it for a second and sighed, figuring he had nothing to lose.

"Hey Ash," Naruto said, "Let's stop for a bit, there's something I have to tell you…"

~Cliffhanger no jutsu~

That's the end of the chapter folks. What do you think? Remember to review if you feel like you have anything to ad.

Anyways, I've seen in the reviews some questions about Naruto's abilities, so here's a list of what Naruto lost when he came into this world, but what he still has:

-Naruto can still use his own chakra, and his jutsu's.

-He can't use Kurama's chakra, or any jutsu that requires a bijuu's chakra (Bijuu dama (Tailed beast ball))

-He can still use sage mode, since he's just using the natural energy from the earth.

-He can't use summoning jutsu, because he's on a dimensional plane to far away from the summons (I'm just making this up, but I don't think it would be fair if Naruto could summon giant toads in the Pokémon universe)

-Naruto possesses all the physical training and ninja skills he acquired

-He doesn't possess kunai or shuriken, since they don't produce these in the Pokémon world. (Not yet *cough* Koga *Cough)

That's really it. This is my first story, so comment on anything that might suck. Bye!
