Also, there's a vote at the end of the Chapter.
Remember, I don't, I repeat DON'T, own Naruto or Pokemon in any way, shape, or form!
Now to the story!
/ / / / /
/Ch3: Through the Woods we go!/
"Taillow, use Peck!" a Youngster called out as a Male Anthro Taillow flew towards his opponent with his beak glowing.
"Ralts, use Teleport!" Wally called as Ralts disappeared in a flash of light as Taillow flew back up to avoid hitting the ground. "Now use Thunder Punch!" he said as Ralts reappeared behind Taillow and deliver a Thunder Punch into the Tiny Swallow Pokemon's back.
"TTTTtttaaaaaaaa!" Taillow cawed as he landed on the ground with his eyes being replaced with swirls.
"Taillow return." the Youngster said as he returned his Pokemon before leaving.
"Nice work in that battle Ralts." Wally said as Ralts said nothing. Sighing, Wally just return the Male Feelings Pokemon back into his Poke'ball.
"Don't worry Wally, it just take time to build a bond with a new Pokemon." Naruto said as he walked up to his Green hair traveling friend, with Marsh walking next to him.
"Yeah, thanks Naruto." Wally said, looking at Ralts Poke'ball in his hand, before he started coughing.
"Well, we're halfway through Petalburg Woods. How about we stop here for lunch then?" Naruto asked as Wally nodded before putting his respiratory suit on.
The two of them been walking the past few hours since entering the forest, stopping every now and then when Wally starts coughing, and so far both of them battled against a wild Breloom, a few Wurmples, and some Bug Catchers.
"Hey Wally, I been meaning to ask. Why didn't you wear your Respiratory suit when we first met?" the Red hair Trainer asked while dicing some Oran and Razz Berries before dropping them in the pot on the fire.
"I only wear this when I'm outside." Wally said, breathing through the mask part of the suit.
After a while, lunch was finally ready as Naruto made Oran and Razz berry soup.
"Alright everyone, lunch is ready!" Naruto said as he released Jukaile and Dazzle from their Poke'balls as the two Pokegirls sat beside Marsh.
"You come out too Ralts." Wally said as he released his only Pokemon out before handing him a bowl of Naruto's soup.
"Thank you Naru-kun!" Marsh exclaimed joyfully as she dug into her bowl of soup, since the Mudkip girl loves Naruto's cooking, while Jukaile just looked annoyed with Dazzle just sweat drop at her new friend's behavior before both of them began eating their meal.
"I have to agree Naruto, this soup is delicious." Wally said, enjoying the taste of the soup while Ralts gave a small smile in agreement.
While everyone was busy enjoying their meal, no one notice a silhouette behind some bushes. The silhouette then opened his mouth as a long Pink tongue shot out and grabbed the pot, pulling the container towards him from the bushes.
"More please!" Marsh cheered, holding her empty bowl up in her hand. Naruto just chuckled as he went to refill her bowl.
"Wait, where's the pot?" Naruto said as he and everyone saw that the pot of soup wasn't there anymore.
"I don't know, but I'm sure it couldn't... OW!" Jukaile said until she was hit by the now empty pot. "Oooo... where did that come from?" the Treecko girl groaned, rubbing her head, as they heard rustling coming from the bushes the pot was thrown from.
"What do you think is behind there?" Dazzle asked nervous as she was hiding behind Naruto.
"The same person who ate all the soup!" Marsh cried anime tears before her face gained a angry expression and fired a Water Gun towards the bushes, which cause the silhouette to jump over the group and landing as the sunlight showed his appearance.
The 'person' is a teen boy whose 5ft3inches in height with spiky Greenish-Blonde hair and Lime Green skin. His face resembles a chameleon muzzle with Yellow markings on his face, looking like glasses around his eyes, with two Green and Yellow head crests on the top sides of his head, Yellow claws, small Lime Green spines on his back, a Red zigzag mark around his waist and a long tail curled up behind him.
Taking out his Poke'dex, Naruto scanned the Reptilian anthro as his data came up.
"[Kecleon, the Color Swap Pokemon
It can freely change its body color. The zigzag pattern on its belly doesn't change, however.]" the Poke'dex said as Naruto put the device back in his pocket.
"So, you're the one who stole our soup?" Wally said, looking at Kecleon with interest.
"Why yes, and it was good by the way." Kecleon said, his long tongue licking his muzzle. "Next time Red, try using Tomato Berries." he added while looking at Naruto before turning around to leave.
"Hey! Don't think you can just eat our lunch and leave!" Marsh yelled, upset about her Trainer's yummy soup, and tried to hit Kecleon with another Water Gun.
"So be it then." Kecleon said under his breath before disappearing as Water Gun missed. Reappearing behind Marsh, he then punch the surprised Mudkip before locking her with his arms and tail.
"Naruto, just what move did Kecleon use?" Wally asked, since this is his first time seeing a Kecleon in person while he only seen pictures in books.
"He used Feint Attack to dodge and now he has Marsh wrapped in his Bind." Naruto said before looking at Jukaile. "Jukaile, help Marsh out with Pound." he said as the Grass type nodded before running to help her friend and teammate.
"Nice try Gecko girl." Kecleon said before his eyes glowed as the shadow under him rushed towards Jukaile, taking the form of a shadow version of him, and punched the Treecko girl back towards her Trainer.
"Of course, he would also know Shadow Sneak." Naruto said to himself as him and Dazzle helped Jukaile back to her feet.
"Let me go you soup stealing jerk!" Marsh exclaimed as she struggle to get free of Kecleon's Bind.
"Okay, whatever you say." Kecleon said before using his tail to throw the anthro Mudkip back towards her Trainer.
"Ralts, use Thunder Punch!" Wally said as the Male Psychic/Fairy type appear in front of Kecleon before delivering an uppercut towards the Normal type.
"OW! Okay, now you're on Bowl-cut!" Kecleon said annoyed as his Lime Green skin changed to Electric Yellow, changing his type from Normal to Electric, as he vanished before delivering a roundhouse kick against Ralts's side.
"Ralts, use Thunder Punch again." Wally said as Ralts punched Kecleon again, only for the Color Swap Pokemon to block the attack with his arms before whipping him back with his tail with a grin on his muzzle.
"Wally, Kecleon's Color Change ability changed his type to Electric. So Thunder Punch won't be must affective." Naruto said as he explained Kecleon's ability as well as move typing.
"Now take this Bowl-cut!" Kecleon said as he hit Ralts with Shadow Sneak, tossing the Feelings Pokemon up a few feet before Kecleon jumped and grabbed him in Bind.
As Ralts was struggling to get out of Bind, Wally was trying to think of a way to get his Pokemon free. He then remembered what Ralts's other move was.
"Ralts, push Kecleon off you with Confusion." Wally said as Ralts's eyes glowed as Kecleon's body was enveloped by a Psychic Blue aura.
"What... " was all Kecleon said as he was knocked back against a tree, his Electric Yellow skin changing to Psychic Purple, before rubbing his head with a groan.
"Okay Wally, Kecleon's now a Psychic type. So you might want to think about your next move." Naruto said as the Green hair teen nodded.
"Ralts, use Teleport follow by Thunder Punch!" Wally called as Ralts and Kecleon both disappeared before reappearing in front of each other with Ralts using Thunder Punch and Kecleon using Feint Attack as both attacks collided with each other and knocking them both back.
"Gggrrrroooooaaaaa..." Kecleon groaned as his skin changed back to his natural Lime Green color.
"Okay, now's my chance. Go Poke'ball!" Wally said, grabbing a empty Poke'ball out of his pocket and threw the capsule at Kecleon, bouncing off the anthro Color Swap Pokemon's side and absorbing him in a Red light before closing and landing on the ground as the Poke'ball shook a few times before dinging, showing that the capture was complete.
"Alright, I caught a Kecleon!" Wally cheered as he grabbed the Poke'ball off the ground.
"Nice work Wally, you made your second catch as a Trainer." Naruto said as he sprayed some Potion on Ralts to help him heal. "And nice work for you too Ralts." he added as the Male Psychic/Fairy type gave a small smile as he felt his injuries heal.
"Alright, let get going everyone." Naruto said as he packed up his cooking equipment and returned Jukaile, Marsh and Dazzle into their Poke'balls while Wally returned Ralts as the two continued their way through the woods.
/2 hours later/
"Okay, we're halfway through the forest Wally." Naruto said, looking at his map, while Wally was resting against a tree.
"Good, because it's somewhere between 2 or 3-o-clock." Wally said, taking a sip from his water bottle, while getting back up.
"Excuse me you two." a Man's voice said as Naruto and Wally turned to see a Man in his twenties with Brown hair and wearing a Gray Business suit with a Green tie with a nametag on his suit.
"My name is Kennedy and I was wondering if any of you seen a Shroomish, since it's my favorite Pokemon." the man, Kennedy, said as both of them shook their head.
"Sorry sir, but we did see a Breloom earlier this morning." Naruto said as him and Wally introduced themselves to Kennedy.
"Alright Monkey suit! Hand over Da Goods before I beat it out of ya!" a man's voice yelled as the three turned around to see a man wearing a Blue bandana, a Gray and White horizontal striped shirt, Gray gloves and Blue pants (The Team Aqua Grunt uniform from the Anime.) with a Male Poochyena next to him.
"You'll have to go through me first!" Naruto said as he released Dazzle from her Poke'ball, who imminently hid behind him after seeing the Dark type growl at her.
"HA! You sent that scare little runt out to fight! You must be as stupid as you look punk!" the Grunt laughed, with his Poochyena doing the same, as Dazzle hid herself more behind her Trainer as Naruto just glared at him.
"Big talk from a jailhouse reject." the Red hair Trainer said, which cause the Grunt to stop his laughing as his face was red from the insult.
"Reject, REJECT! I'm a proud member of the great Team Aqua you land shit! Now Poochyena, Bite that little slut!" the Grunt yelled as his Pokemon ran towards the Shiny Ralts girl with his fangs ready to bite down hard on her.
"Dazzle, I know you can do this. Now show this clown what you can do." Naruto said as Dazzle looked up at him and saw him giving her a warm smile.
'He... He really believe in me.' she thought as her cheeks blushed. The world around her seems to move slowly as she look at the Poochyena charging at her. She then step from behind Naruto with a look at determination on her face. 'I... I want to become stronger, and I'll show that I can become strong!' she thought as she took a deep breath as the world returned to normal speed.
"Dazzle, use Disarming Voice!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto called as Dazzle released a loud cry that knocked Poochyena onto his back while covering his ears.
"Poochyena, get up and use Tackle!" the Grunt yelled as the Male Bite Pokemon regain his bearings and charged towards the Female Feelings Pokemon.
"Dazzle confuse Poochyena with Double Team." "Got in." Naruto said as Dazzle's body glowed before creating four copies of herself, leaving five Shiny Ralts, as the Dazzles circle around Poochyena, whose confuse of which is which.
"Poochyena, just hit any of them!" the Grunt yelled as his Pokemon tackled the Dazzle on his left, only for that Dazzle to fade once hit and leaving only four Dazzles left.
"Now Dazzle, use Disarming Voice one more time." "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Naruto said as all four Dazzles use the Fairy type move at the same time, making it 4xs stronger, as Poochyena was knocked right into his Trainer, knocking them both on the ground, with his eyes being replaced with swirls.
"NNNOOOO!" the Grunt yelled out before returning his Pokemon. "You'll pay for this punk!" he yelled before running away as the three extra Dazzles disappeared.
"Way to go Dazzle, you won your first battle." Naruto said as he picked Dazzle up, who was blushing while rubbing the back of her head sheepishly, and congratulated the Psychic/Fairy type.
"Thank you for protecting me young sir. Please except this as my thanks." Kennedy said as he gave Naruto a Great Ball before saying goodbye to him and Wally.
"Okay, I think we'll make it to Rustboro City by sunset if we follow the path Kennedy is taking." Wally said as him and Naruto, who is still carrying Dazzle in his arms, follow Kennedy to the end of the forest.
Unaware to anyone, a figure was watching the whole thing from behind some trees.
"Hmm, so that's the little assistant Archie wanted me to spy. Well, he sure is a cute one." the figure said in a Female voice as she stepped from behind her hiding place.
The person is a 16 year old girl whose 5ft4inches in height with short Black hair with a fringe and Red eyes. Her outfit consist of a White and Blue horizontal stripe sleeveless top the strains against her C-cup breasts and shows her lightly toned stomach, Blue armbands around her biceps, Black gloves, tattered short shorts with a Black sash around her waist, White and Blue horizontal stripe leggings and Black boots. (The Team Aqua Female Grunt uniform from the AS game.)
'Of course, I wonder how much he's packing down there.' she thought while perversely giggling until a voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
"What are laughing at Mommy?" a little girl's voice asked causing the mystery girl to look down next to her.
Standing next to her was a 10 year old girl around the same height as Dazzle, whose body is showing signs of 'blooming' early, with short Mauve color hair covering her eyes a bit and matching skin, long rabbit-like ears with Yellow tips, a small bunny-like tail under a Yellow crescent mark on her lower back and Yellow toes.
"Oh don't worry sweetie, Mommy just think she found you a new Daddy." she said as she picked her 'Daughter' up into her arms before nuzzling her.
"So I'll have a Daddy soon?" the little girl asked with hope in her voice, since her 'Mommy' been lonely for the past few years, as she wrapped her arms around her shoulders so she wouldn't fall off.
"Yes you will, and maybe you'll have a little sister someday as well." she said as she walked towards the forest exit.
/Rustboro City's Pokemon Center, 7:20pm/
"Man it took all day, but we made it to the Pokemon Center before nightfall." Naruto said as him, Wally and all their Pokemon were sitting in the Center's Cafeteria having Dinner.
"So what's the plan for tomorrow?" Wally asked as he was eating his meal.
"Well, tomorrow I'm challenging the Rustboro Gym for my first badge." Naruto said before he continue with his meal.
"So who will you be using?" the Green hair teen asked.
"Since the Rustboro Gym uses Rock types, I plan on having Jukaile and Marsh battle." Naruto said while Marsh have a big smile on her face with Jukaile have a look of understanding on her face.
"Of course, since Rock types are weak against Grass and Water type moves. Unless they're part Steel type." Jukaile said since Grass and Water type moves aren't very effective against those types.
While Jukaile and Marsh are happy about fighting the 1st Gym, Dazzle has an upset look on her face which Naruto quickly notice.
"Hey, don't be sad about this Dazzle. You'll have your go at the next Gym." he said as Dazzle seems to cheer up a bit.
"Man that was good, but I like Red's cooking better." Kecleon said as he literally licked his plate clean.
After a good meal, Naruto and Wally returned their Pokemon and head towards their rented rooms for a good night sleep.
As the Journey continues!
