Shinobi Pokemon Trainer

This is an idea I had. I always liked Naruto x Pokemon crossovers. So I had to try one out.

Hey everyone! I know its been a while and I'm sorry for that. But I've been having some problems and also college takes up a lot of my time. So I rarely get to write. Anyways moving on!

As it has been quite a while since I uploaded a new chapter, here's Naruto's Team for those who might've forgotten:

1.) Ralts (Female) - Level 15 - Synchronize, Trace, Telepathy

2.) Torchic (Male) – Level 12 – Blaze and Speed Boost

Detailed team at the bottom of the chapter.

****** I have made some changes in this and the previous chapters. Not too much though. Some changes are so small you might not even notice them. But the main one is that THERE ARE NO MORE NICKNAMES. Since I can't update all that much, keeping track of nicknames will be a hassle for the readers and for me as well. And coming up with nicknames isn't my forte at all. So no more nicknames. Sorry to those who actually liked them. My deepest apologies.

****Also from now on I'll try to display the teams in a bit more detail and from now on pokemon will only have TWO ABILITIES ATMOST. Some might have one(despite a no. of potential abilities that pokemon could have) others might have two, but no more than that.

Disclaimer: I own neither Naruto nor Pokemon.

Chapter 4:

Naruto and his two pokemon were currently in Petalburg Woods. It has been three days since his mock battle with N. During that battle a little problem popped up. Torchic was having some trust issues. He ignored his orders and acted on his own, which almost cost them the battle. But in the end, Torchic decided to trust Naruto and obeyed him fully, winning the battle. This established trust between the two.

Torchic now trusted Naruto and followed his command in every battle. Ralts was happy that both of them were now getting along. She did give Torchic quite a bit of scolding as well. It was a pretty weird seeing Ralts tower over Torchic and scolding him like how an older sister reprimands her foolish little brother.

The former Hokage and his partners were now halfway through the forest. On their way they had encountered some pokemon which provided nice battle experience for both his pokemon. They hadn't leveled up any further but were pretty damn close.

Currently Naruto was leisurely walking through the forest, whistling happily. The forest environment was comfortable for him as he had been around forests since he had been born back at Konohagakure(Hidden Leaf Village). Ralts was sitting on his shoulder, humming along. Torchic was in his Great Ball, sleeping.

Ralts liked to stay outside with him whereas Torchic liked to stay in the warm, comfy pokeball. He only came out to eat and battle. Tch lazy chicken.

As he was strolling, Naruto saw something. On the ground was a person sleeping, his loud snoring scaring the wild pokemon around him. A Squirtle was slapping him across the face. Yet the man was sleeping like no tomorrow.

Naruto couldn't help but sweat drop at the ridiculous scene in front him. Ralts was barely able to stifle her giggles. Still they decided to help the old man in front them.

"Hey mister! Don't sleep in the wild! You'll catch a cold. Come on get up!"

"Zzz"

"Oi old man get up!"

"Zzz….zzzz"

"Hey! Get up-"

"ZZZZZZZZZZ"

"Grrr why yo-"

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

Naruto had a tick mark at his forehead. This old man's snoring was really annoying him now. He suddenly gained a smirk. A smirk that in no way was a good one. No, this smirk just radiated mischief.

"Oh Ralts~~~ this poor old man needs a nice awakening. Will you be a good girl and help?" He asked his partner.

"Ralts ralts!" Ralts agreed wholeheartedly. Looks like Naruto's tendency to prank was rubbing off on her.

Ralts glowed blue as she used Confusion and lifted the Squirtle. Poor Squirtle could only withdraw in its shell as it was slammed down on the man.

Now a fun little fact for all. Squirtle is a blue turtle with a pretty hard shell. That hard shell falling on a person is unpleasant enough. But you see, that particular Squirtle was a bit smarter than average. So before he was slammed down, he managed to use the move Withdraw and only made his shell harder. So now that even harder shell was slammed down at the poor man.

Yeah

Not a nice way to be woken up. Not in the slightest.

"HOLY ARCEUS!" The now awake man squealed. The man was violently woken up. He quickly sat up and rubbed his stomach. Trying to sooth his now aching tummy in vain.

Naruto smirked and high-fived Ralts. Hey the man might be in some pain but it wasn't anything too harmful. It was all in good fun. Even the old man gave out a smile on seeing their amusement.

"Haha I guess that was an….. interesting wake up call." The old man stated with mirth. He turned his gaze and observed his Squirtle. His companion was rolling on the ground laughing. "Yeah yeah laugh it off." He said dryly.

After a while the amusement finally died down. The old man introduced himself.

"Hey there lad! I am Samuel Oak. Though people usually call me Professor Oak. I am a researcher in the Kanto region. And this is my companion Squirtle. What about you? Are you a new trainer?" The now named Oak asked.

"Squirrrrrr" Squirtle drawled out lazily, showing just how much excited he was about travelling with the old man. Needless to say he was bored as hell.

"Squirtle huh? I've never seen one before…" Naruto flipped open his Pokedex and scanned the Squirtle.

Squirtle's shell is not merely used for protection. The shell's rounded shape and the rounded grooves on its surface help minimize resistance in water, enabling this pokemon to swim at high speeds.

"Hmm sounds interesting. Anyways, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. And this is Ralts. I just started my journey a week ago." Naruto answered.

"Ralts Ra Ralts" Ralts chimed in.

"So Professor, what are you doing here in Hoenn, so far away from the Kanto Region?" Naruto asked curiously.

"I came to Hoenn to visit an old friend of mine. He lives in Rustboro City."

"Hmm I see. Then why were you sleeping here in the forest?"

Oak blushed a bit and scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. "Yeah…. About that… I might have …..kind of…sort of…accidently…..disturbed a nest of Shroomish…..and they might have used Spore on me to put me to sleep…. Hehehe" He nervously chuckled.

Naruto deadpanned at Oak. 'Really? That was it?' He snorted.

With the pleasantries over, they decided to travel together. They did have the same destination after all.

Rustboro City

Professor Oak wanted to meet his friend there. And Naruto wanted to challenge the Pokemon Gym of that town. So travelling together would be better. They provided each other company. Naruto told Oak about his journey so far. Oak in turn, gave Naruto some very helpful advice on how to take care of his pokemon. Oak might not be a Pokemon Breeder but he does know quite a lot about taking care of pokemon. Oak also suggested him about some basic strategies Naruto and his pokemon could use in battles.

Oak even told him that the first gym was a Rock-Type Gym. But nothing more than that.

'Hmm rock type eh? Gotta make a special training regimen for my team then…' Naruto mused inwardly.

"Well well what do we have here? A runt and an old man. Keh keh keh!" A high pitched voice rang out.

Both of them stopped and saw a 15 year old boy in front of them.

"Umm who are you?"Naruto asked.

"My name is Keito. And I challenge you to a pokemon battle twerp." Keito challenged. He held up a single pokeball. "You don't have the option to decline. And if I win, I'll take all your food and money." He gave a dirty smirk at this. "Keh keh keh"

Keito's pokeball opened and out of it came a Mankey.

"Mankey man" The Mankey gave an angry look and bounced lightly on its feet. Mankey is a bipedal Pokémon with a round body covered in whitish, shaggy fur. Its nose is similar to a pig's snout, and it has red eyes and triangular ears with brown insides. Mankey's hands, two-toed feet, and the tip of its curved, prehensile tail are brown.

Naruto flipped open his Pokedex.

When Mankey starts shaking and its nasal breathing rough, it's a sure sign that it is becoming angry. However, because it goes into a towering rage almost instantly, it is impossible for anyone to flee its wrath.

"That explains the constant angry look I guess" Naruto murmured.

Oak whistled. "I never thought I'd see a Mankey here in Hoenn. It is a native of Kanto after all."

"Really? Then that means it is quite rare here?"

"It sure is kid. It sure is. In fact I don't think Mankeys are found at all in this region. My guess is that they are only available when they come here in hordes. But that's a very rare occurrence. I don't know how this kid managed to get one…"

Keito growled. "Grr… Enough chit chat! Hey twerp are you gonna start the battle or not? Or are you too much of a coward to battle?"

Ralts frowned. She did not like this guy's attitude at all. How dare this insolent human talk so disrespectfully to her trainer!

"Ralts ralts! Ral ralts ralts!"

Naruto looked at Ralts, who jumped down from his shoulders and stood in front of him, ready to battle.

"Ralts? You want to fight? Are you sure?" Naruto asked his partner.

Ralts looked back at him and nodded. She wanted to fight this battle. She wanted to utterly destroy this cocky brute, who dared to badmouth her dear trainer. This dirty peasant shall know his place.

Naruto sensed her emotions and was surprised. 'S-she's angry… Well, looks like this Keito guy is about to be annihilated. He pissed off Ralts after all…. Poor guy, I almost pity him. Almost' were Naruto's thoughts. He smirked. Hey he might be a nice guy and was now mature enough to not react to such taunts, but he didn't like when someone called him a coward. He would enjoy utterly crushing this guy.

"Very well let's battle. But know this that you brought this upon yourself." Naruto warned. Keito, convinced that he was dealing with a rookie, brushed it off.

With that the battle began.

"Mankey use Scratch."

Mankey rushed in and raised his paw, preparing to unleash a powerful scratch on Ralts. Ralts simply stood there unmoving. Patiently waiting for her trainer's command.

"Dodge" was Naruto's simple command.

As the Mankey quickly reached over and swung his paw, Ralts gracefully dodged the attack. Mankey was not expecting the sudden dodge and lost his balance, he fell face first on the ground.

Keito scowled. "Grrr…. What the hell are you doing Mankey? Get up and use Focus Energy."

Mankey got up and took a stance. He focused his inner energy. He was then surrounded by the steam like aura of Focus Energy. He was getting pumped up! He took a boxer stance and bounced on his toes.

Seeing this, Keito smirked. "Now that's more like it! What will you do now, little twerp? You can't dodge forever and I just need a couple of Critical Hits to beat you. Mankey go near and use Scratch again. Keh keh keh"

Mankey obeyed and rushed forward. However Naruto simply smiled, silencing Keito's amusement.

"Indeed, you getting a critical hit on Ralts would be a problem. However that would only be the case if you could hit her. Ralts, stop him in his tracks with Confusion!"

Ralts glowed blue and pointed her hands towards the charging Mankey. Mankey was stopped in his tracks and was restrained by a bluish aura. He stood there frozen, stuck in mid attack and on top of that, the telekinetic psychic attack was hurting him as well.

"MAN MANKEY!" Keito's Mankey could only screech in pain.

Keito was really furious now. He was sure that his plan would work. He hoped to strike before the Ralts could use its psychic abilities. But his Mankey wasn't fast enough.

"Damn it! Get yourself together Mankey! Stop your whining and attack already!" He roared in anger, ignoring his Pokémon's cries of pain.

Naruto and Professor Oak frowned. Ralts glared fiercely while Oak's Squirtle growled furiously. Keito's attitude towards his own pokemon was disgusting. It was clear that his pokemon was in pain. But instead of expressing concern, he started bad mouthing his Mankey. He truly was an example of a terrible trainer. Poor Mankey had to deal with such a bad trainer.

Naruto felt sorry for Mankey and so decided to end this quickly.

"Ralts, finish this with another Confusion" He commanded. And Ralts did just that. She glowed blue and unleashed her psychic attack. Keito's Mankey screeched in pain as he was hit by a strong super effective psychic type attack but was quickly knocked out. He was now lying on the soft grass, blissfully unconscious.

"Mankey is unable to fight anymore! Naruto has won this battle!" Oak announced the end of the battle.

Keito snarled and recalled his pokemon. He then stomped away angrily, muttering about getting his revenge.

Oak and Naruto shook their heads at Keito's attitude. Naruto turned to Ralts and pat her head. "That was a great battle Ralts! You did very well." Ralts simply squealed in happiness and hugged him.

Oak smiled as he saw this. He was glad to see that Naruto was such a kind trainer. Kind and strong. Even though the battle was brief, he had seen enough. He knew that Naruto will be a spectacular pokemon trainer in the future. A force to be reckoned with. 'Now I see why Birch gave him the National Dex instead of a standard one. He must've seen that Naruto would never misuse it…' He thought.

Oak's Squirtle meanwhile was looking the scene with mixed feelings. On one hand, he was glad that the bad trainer was dealt with. On the other hand, he was a bit jealous of the close ties between Naruto and Ralts. He too wanted to go out in the world with a caring trainer and have lots of fun adventures and battles. But here he was stuck with accompanying Oak.

Don't get him wrong. He didn't have anything against the old professor. As a matter of fact, he was quite fond of him. But the problem was that since was an old man he rarely travels around. Even if he does, it is mostly for work. Which was sooooo boring in his shelly opinion(hehe get it? Cause he is turtle so shelly?...Umm I'll just shut up now). Travelling with Oak is pretty damn dull. He had a thirst for adventures and Oak simply wasn't able to help him in that regard.

But he also didn't want to run away and leave Oak high and dry. No. He wasn't that selfish. So no matter how jealous he feels, he would simply have to suck it up.

While Squirtle was going through his mental monologue, he never saw Professor Oak watching and smiling at him. 'I know you will never say it. You won't even drop a hint. You are selfless like that. But I know what you desire. You desire an adventure. An adventure filled with loads of fun battles and company of a kind trainer. I'm sorry that this old man can't do that for you' Oak turned his glance towards Naruto, who was still playing with Ralts 'however I might just have found someone suitable for you'

There it is. The end of chapter four. As you can see, Naruto just started his journey and already met some interesting people. Please review your thoughts on this chapter :)

***NOTE: This is an AU of sorts. This world is different from the one in the Anime but not all that different. I'm trying to combine the anime and the ORAS games (not sure how successful THAT attempt will be …). That's why you might see types and moves from 6th Gen. So look out :)

**Now the thing about Naruto's team. I will try to keep it Hoenn-natives as much as possible but there might be few pokemon from other regions as well. So please don't hate on me for that.
