...Like No One Ever Was...
"Hey! I'm here for a Pokémon battle!" yelled Naruto as he opened the doors to the Pewter City Gym.
When there was no response from the dark Naruto sweat dropped.
"Oh yeah real classy there, barging in" said Harrison as he walked calmly behind him.
"Shut up!" he yelled.
"Eevui" said even with an exasperated sigh.
"Oh yeah like you're so great!" growled Naruto.
"Who goes there?" asked voice as some of the lights in the gym were turned on.
An old man with spiky brown hair and tanned skin sat cross legged on a rock with a neutral expression.
"Hey we-
"Are here to battle for a badge?" asked the old man.
"Yep! My names-
"You do not have my respect therefore I do not wish to know your name, this is your first...gym battle isn't it" said the old man.
"Oh yeah well I don't wanna know your name either anyway, I just came for the badge!" yelled Naruto.
"You've got spunk kid" a smirk appeared on the old man's wrinkled face.
"Let's see what you got!" he challenged.
The old man got up and snapped his fingers and the gym started to shake. Two sides of the rock field melded together and formed one field that was defiantly suited for rock Pokémon.
"We'll each only use two Pokémon" said the old man.
"Fine! Bring it!" Naruto pulled out a pokeball from his belt.
"Alright kid, let's go" Harrison stood up in the stands above.
"I'm not a kid you old, wrinkly tea bag!" yelled Naruto.
The old man sweat dropped.
...Like No One Ever Was...
"You're friend doesn't stand a chance" Harrison turned around to see a small kid, then another and another and another and another.
"Eevee" protested Eevee as he jumped up on Harrison shoulder.
"Wha...
"You're friend he's toast, dad is so strong ya know" said a young boy.
"Naruto's pretty unpredictable I wouldn't be so sure" said Harrison.
...Like No One Ever Was...
"Go Graveler" Naruto pulled out his pokedex.
"Graveler the multi-armed rock Pokémon. Graveler are extremely strong, when rolling they become almost impossible to stop" said Dexter.
"What kind of talk is that?!" growled Naruto.
"The truth" he responded.
"Jeez thanks for the vote of confidence" Naruto flipped him over and put him back in his pocket.
"Alright, a rock Pokémon...hmm Torchic would be the best due to type but he's so small...aw well" Naruto tightened his gloves on his hands pulling them back by the fabric on his wrists.
"Alright go, Torchic" Naruto pulled his pokeball back and threw it onto the field.
Torchic appeared and not a second later his eyes widened and he scurried back behind Naruto's leg.
"What's wrong with you, get in there!" yelled Naruto.
"Is that all boy, that roast dinner isn't looking so good" Torchic growled angrily and ran back onto the field charging at the rock Pokémon.
"Use ember!" commanded Naruto.
Graveler was hit by the ember but didn't receive much damage.
"Graveller use rollout" said the old man as it tucked in its arms and rolled toward Torchic.
Torchic was flattened and then thrown into the air, he landed on the ground with swirls in his eyes.
"Torchic return" said Naruto as he held his pokeball and returned the down Pokémon.
"Kid you really are weak, come on" taunted the old man.
Naruto growled in anger and frustration.
"I'm not weak!" yelled Naruto.
"Go, Pidgey!" he threw the bird Pokémon out.
"Ha don't be so naive Pidgey is a flying type, weak against rock types you know that don't you?" he taunted.
"Of course I do!" yelled Naruto.
"Pidgey use quick attack!" commanded Naruto.
Pidgey dove down at Graveler at full speed.
"Use focus punch!" Pidgey was hit at full force and doubled back.
"Recover Pidgey and use gust" said Naruto.
Pidgey flapped its wings and the dust blew at Graveller. The dust from the arena got in Graveler's eyes blinding it.
"Now Pidgey use quick attack again" said Naruto.
Pidgey hit Graveler and the Pokémon fell to the ground with swirls in its eyes.
"Great job Pidgey" said Naruto. Pidgey panted as he caught his breath on the ground.
"Not bad kid...but this is where your luck runs out...go Onix!" said the old gym leader as an Onix appeared towering over Pidgey.
'Crap' thought Naruto.
"Onix use bind" said the gym leader.
Swiftly Onix grabbed Pidgey making him scream in pain as it wrapped around him. Pidgey yelped again as Onix tightened its grip.
"Ah Pidgey...please stop" said Naruto.
"Do you surrender?" asked the old man.
Naruto bite down on his bottom lips as tears fell from his eyes.
"Do you surrender...I don't want to hurt your Pokémon any longer" said the old man.
"Yes...please...JUST STOP!" yelled Naruto.
"Onix stop" said the old man.
"Oh Pidgey" Naruto ran up to his Pokémon and picked up him up the ground.
Pidgey" he said weakly.
"That Pokémon fought valiantly" said the old man as he returned his Pokémon.
The old man returned his Onix.
Naruto stood up with Pidgey in his hands.
"That takes a lot of guts to do, you and that Pokémon have earned my respect" said the old man. "You are the very first aspiring Pokémon trainer to enter my gym and challenge me with such fierceness in your eyes, you will go far...kid" he held out his hand.
"The names Flint" Naruto smiled weakly and shook his hand firmly.
"Thank you sir, my names Naruto...I-
Naruto pulled his hand back to see a badge in his hand.
"You are worthy to carry that badge, excellent match" Naruto's bottom limp whimpered.
"B-But I didn't win...I sucked...I let my Pokémon get hurt, I'll never be as good as my family" tears fell freely from his eyes.
"Why would you think that?" Naruto looked up at the old man who put his gloved hand on his head.
"I know your last name is Namikaze, it's very hard not to recognise the features" he chuckled.
"But ki-Naruto...you showed courage, determination...ah some skill, but skill nonetheless, I believe that you'll surpass your parents and for that, I award you that badge, as a testament to the lessons you've learned here today" Flint smiled at the younger trainer.
"T-Thank you!" sobbed Naruto, but through his tears and sobs came the biggest smile ever.
"Alright then, I'll battle your friend later on today but first I'll show you to the Pokémon centre" said Flint.
"R-Right" said Naruto as he used his free hand to rub his eyes.
"You okay?" asked Harrison as he put his hand on his best friend's shoulder.
"Yeah...but we have to get the Pokémon to the Pokémon centre" said Naruto.
"Well said...young man I'll battle you later today when my Pokémon are healed" said Flint. Harrison nodded and rubbed the back of his head, he laughed nervously.
"Oh right" Flint smiled.
"Don't be nervous boy" Harrison laughed nervously again.
...Like No One Ever Was...
A Few Hours Later
"Your Pokémon are healed, congratulations on your boulder badge Naruto-sweetie" said Nurse Joy.
"Thank you Nurse Joy" said Naruto as he grabbed his pokeballs off the tray. He ran outside to see Harrison waiting and smiling.
"Ready to see how it's really done?" he mocked.
Naruto's eyebrow twitched as Eevee ran and jumped on shoulder; Eevee nudged him and licked his face.
"Eee, vui?" he asked.
"Yeah of course I am" Naruto scratched the back of his ears.
"Pidgey...Torchic...come out" Naruto threw the two pokeballs in the air.
Pidgey and Torchic landed on the dirt road.
"Guys I'm really sorry, you both did great, look what we got though" Naruto pulled the badge out of his pocket and showed the two Pokémon they both smiled up at him yelled in excitement, this make him laugh with glee as well. Eevee jumped off as he foresaw the very thing that was about to happen.
Pidgey pecked Naruto's face in delight making him hold his nose and fall over. Pidgey jumped on him in excitement.
"That bird really likes you doesn't he?" said Harrison.
"Well" Naruto grabbed Pidgey and set him aside.
"I am the proud winner of a Boulderbadge" he laughed showing off the badge.
"First off, you were given the badge...second of all you didn't beat him and thirdly...I'm way better than you" Naruto growled.
"Well let's see how you do against him smarty pants" Harrison growled.
"You just watch me, I've come up with a perfect strategy!" he yelled.
"Ha well I like to see this strategy...actually work!" yelled Naruto.
"Fine let's go" Harrison grabbed Naruto's collar and began dragging him, his 3 Pokémon in tow.
...Like No One Ever Was...
Pewter City Gym
"Ah so you had the guts to show up" taunted Flint.
"You old geezer stop taunting me trying to get me angry!" everyone in the entire gym thought the same thing.
'Well...it worked' Naruto climbed up the stairs with Eevee on his shoulder overlooking the battle.
All the young children gathered around him as Harrison and Flint drew their pokeballs.
'He'll probably start with Graveller again...in that battle with Naruto it was pretty slow, so either Butterfree or Trecko would be a good choice because they both have some good speed but I think a quick knockout will probably be the best' Harrison enlarged his pokeball.
"Go, Butterfree!" he threw it onto the field releasing Butterfree the ball came back and he caught it.
"Ha I know all about Butterfree's abilities well, that won't help you, go Onix!" Harrison's eyes widened.
"Oh...crap" said Harrison.
...Like No One Ever Was...
"Oh crap...is right" said Naruto.
"Eevee" agreed the small Pokémon on his shoulder.
...Like No One Ever Was...
"Butterfree use stunspore!" commanded Harrison.
"Quick Onix dig" the large Pokémon dove underground the mist completely missing him. 'Now I know why Naruto had so much trouble, we're way out of our depth here. Flint is so much more experienced than us, there's no way we can win...but maybe he knows that' he thought as he brow furrowed.
"Butterfree use poisonpowder down in the hole!" commanded Harrison.
"Smart kid" said Flint.
"But...not good enough, Onix!" yelled Flint.
Onix's tail hit Butterfree and sent it into a rock.
"Butterfree" Butterfree was dazed.
"Now bind it into submission" Onix's tail wrapped around Butterfree and stopped it from moving.
"Return" said Harrison but Onix's tail blocked the beams of red light. Suddenly Butterfree wasn't making any sound.
Onix let it go, Butterfree dropped to the ground with swirls in its eyes.
"Oh no, return" said Harrison as Butterfree was brought back into its pokeball.
"That was a good plan to flush Onix out, but it'll take way more than that to defeat Onix" Harrison smirked.
"Well then that's just what I have to do, go Trecko!" Harrison threw Trecko's ball out and the green Pokémon appeared, he then calmly put a twig in his mouth and then crossed his arm.
"Onix go!" yelled Flint.
"Dodge it Trecko and use pound!" Trecko jumped up avoid Onix and then came down with his tail hitting Onix on the head. Onix roared in pain as he recovered.
"Now Onix, iron tail!" Harrison didn't expect that neither did Naruto.
Onix's tail glowed as he whipped around and clobbered Trecko right in the face.
"Wow, that is one tough Pokémon" comment Flint.
Trecko was launched into the wall and skidded down.
"Trecko you don't have to continue" Trecko shook his head and got right back up. His body little with scraps and dirt marks.
Trecko jumped back onto the field.
"Are you okay!?" asked Harrison.
"Trecko" he replied.
"Alright then...quick attack!" yelled Harrison.
Trecko took off at tremendous speed as he jumped up into Onix's face.
"Now use absorb!" yelled Harrison.
Trecko absorbed some energy from Onix making Onix waver a little.
"Now use that energy and pound it into the ground!" commanded Harrison.
"Trecko!" Trecko whipped around and whacked Onix right in the face making it hit the wall and crash to the ground with swirls in his eyes.
"Alright!" yelled Harrison.
Trecko panted, he had put a lot of his energy into the attack.
"Alright kid, not bad" Flint returned his Pokémon and pulled out another pokeball.
"But, you're Pokémon is weakened now, surely you would have tried to conserve some of that energy that it absorbed from Onix.
"Go Graveler" Graveler appeared in front of a panting Trecko.
"Focus punch!" yelled Flint.
"Dodge it!" yelled Harrison.
Trecko's leg got stuck in a crevice caused by Graveler's entry.
'Now that's just plain unlucky' thought Flint as Trecko was hit square in the face and was instantly defeated by the strong punch.
"Trecko!" he ran onto the field picked up the Pokémon.
"You okay?" Trecko replied with a weak nod.
"You did great Trecko, I couldn't have asked for anything better, here you take a rest and I'll get you to the Pokémon centre" said Harrison as he returned Trecko.
"Well young man" Flint returned Graveller.
"You fought well, your Pokémon will be very strong one day" Harrison smiled.
"Thanks sir" said Harrison.
"I think you realised that you couldn't beat me, no beginning trainer could ever beat me" said Flint.
Harrison nodded.
"I think I got closer than Naruto" said Harrison with a smirk.
"You did not!" yelled a voice from the stands.
"The pair of you may not have won but you both have some potential" said Flint impressed.
"Here" said Flint as he handed him the Boulderbadge.
Harrison accepted it with a smile.
"So what you just give these things away now?" he asked with a smile.
"I can take it back" Harrison stepped back and grabbed the badge with both hands.
"No, that's okay" he smiled.
"You had a decent strategy, but you didn't plan for what would happen if it failed, something simple like changing the order of my Pokémon completely caught you off guard. Remember it also helps to have a backup plan" Flint smiled and put his hand on his head.
"Unless you're Naruto who didn't have a plan in the first place" they both laughed.
"Yeah...hey shut up!" yelled Naruto from the balcony.
"Good luck you two, I hope that we meet again" Harrison and Flint shook hands.
Naruto and Harrison both parted the Pewter City gyms with defeats, after all a trainer with years of experience would trounce a trainer with a month or so worth of experience. But the pair of them learned valuable lessons, Naruto not to doubt himself and Harrison to think ahead and to fight with his instincts and heart more so than his brain. It was surely a memorable first gym battle.
...Like No One Ever Was...
The Next Day
Naruto and Harrison walked out of Pewter City their badges firmly in their respective spots in their back packs. Harrison had his eyes glued to a map will Naruto had his eyes closed, Eevee looked ahead with a smile on his face.
Suddenly Harrison gasped.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Naruto as he walked.
"There is a small addendum on the map, 'beware of electric type Pokémon that guards Mount Moon, the electric type is a very bold Pokémon and will attack on sight. This Pokémon strikes with precision lightning attacks that unsuspecting travellers don't see coming. This Pokémon is said to not be from the Kanto region as it was abandoned by a trainer from another land, please use caution when travelling through Mount Moon.'" Finished Harrison.
"I think we better go around Mount Moon" said Harrison.
"Wha?" asked Naruto surprised.
"Flint told me to always have a backup plan if the first plan doesn't work, so Mount Moon was my plan and my backup is to go around and not get shocked to death" Naruto just laughed.
"Alright, you go around like a wimp, I'm going to go catch this mysterious electric type Pokémon from a far of land" Naruto kept walking with his head held high.
"You idiot do you even know which way Mount Moon is?" Naruto fell backward anime style.
"R-Right, that's probably something I should know" Harrison sighed as Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"Ah If you're so intent on catching this Pokémon then fine" Harrison walked past him.
"But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to capture a Pokémon as well!" he yelled.
"Fine, but I got dibs on this electric type" said Naruto as he ran up to Harrison.
"Fine I don't want it anyway, I hear that there are some good rock type Pokémon in the area and I want one" said Harrison.
"Why would you want a rock type Pokémon?" asked Naruto.
"Well, while Trecko and Butterfree are really fast, I'm sorta lacking that ya know" he punched the air.
"Oh so a little" Naruto punched the air with a smile.
"Yaa/Yaa" Harrison and Naruto both punched the air and laughed.
...Like No One Ever Was...
1 Hour Later
"Bah I knew you would get us lost Naruto!" yelled Harrison as they stumbled around in the dark of Mount Moon.
"Hey you're the one with the map" countered Naruto.
"And you were the one who thought that it would be an awesome idiot to headbutt a Zubat!" he yelled.
"Well 1 the map is pretty hard to read in the dark and 2 it's dark in here you fuckin' idiot!" he yelled.
"Alright I've had enough of stumbling around in the dark" Naruto pulled out a pokemon from his belt after a few tries.
"Go Torchic!" Harrison face palmed.
"Why didn't I think of that before!" he yelled.
"Because I'm a genius" said Naruto.
Harrison hit him over the head.
"Owie...
"Hey Torchic, can you use ember on this...
Naruto picked up a lone stick.
"Just a little one for a little fire okay" said Naruto.
Torchic nodded and fired a single ember on the stick making a small fire appear.
Naruto picked up a few more rogue sticks.
"These will burn out real quick to let's get moving" said Naruto.
"Right let's-
"Celfairy, Celfairy, Celfairy" chanted a jumping Pokémon.
The Pokémon had a glowing stone in its hands.
"What is that?" asked Naruto as he pulled out Dexter.
"Celfairy, the dancing fairy Pokémon. Celfairy's are extremely rare and are only found in the vicinity of Mount Moon" said Dexter.
Eevee jumped off Naruto's shoulder and ran after the Pokémon.
"Hey stop Eevee!" yelled Naruto as he ran after his Pokémon.
Harrison followed after him.
Eevee sprinted after the Clefairy, it was extremely fast.
He eventually stopped when a light hit his face.
"Eee, vui vee" he said in wonder.
"What is an Eevee doing here?" came a voice from the cave.
"Eevee" Naruto ran up to his Pokémon and picked him up.
"What the hell, do run off by yourself" Eevee's ears fell as he was scolded by his trainer.
Naruto smiled and scratched him behind the ear.
Eevee then jumped on his shoulder.
"Who goes there?" Naruto squinted as he walked into a large clearing the cave. A large bright stone dominated the middle of the clearing. Clefairy and Clefable all danced around it.
"Uh, hey there" said Naruto.
"Get out of my home" he said.
"Who the hell lives in a cave" mumbled Harrison.
"A cave echoes ya know" Naruto snickered.
"Hey mister, we're lost can you help us get out of here, oh ya and there is this electric type Pokémon that-
Suddenly a hand grabbed Naruto's, he looked like a bit of an odd ball. He had a lab coat on and wore thick rimmed glasses. He had a bowl cut as well which made him look even more goofy.
"Please sir, you have to get rid of that menace. You see everything has been fine every since these 3 kids came a day or two ago, but recently this anger trainer came through this place and left a really angry electric type Pokémon and what with all the noise that it makes it disturbs the Pokémon underground" Naruto's and Harrison's eyes widened.
"Show us where/ Show us where?" they both asked in unison.
"Aw well sure, I'm Seymour by the way" he said with an awkward handshake to Naruto then Harrison.
"Naruto"
"Harrison"
"Okay well the best way to find it I guess is-
Suddenly a thunderbolt shot through the opening of the cave making all the Pokémon jump back in fear.
In a blur a small yellow Pokémon appear.
"Woh" Naruto pulled out Dexter.
"Elekid the electric type Pokémon. Elekid are rare in the Kanto region as they are native to the Johto region. Elekid are extremely powerful they channel electricity through the conductors on their heads" said Dexter.
"Ree, ree" said the Elekid as it stood on the rock.
"Hey Elekid-
Elekid fired thunderbolt and hit Naruto, Eevee jumped off avoiding the attack.
"It's pretty high level" said Harrison.
"Yeah well so is Eevee, quick attack!" yelled Naruto as he tightened his gloves.
Eevee ran and jumped up on the rock. Eevee hit Elekid but it stood strong and electricity danced around it making Eevee jump back.
"That was spark" said Naruto.
"Alright Eevee, use return!" said Naruto.
Eevee disappeared and appeared behind Elekid and delivered a myriad of blows to its back making it fall off the rock.
"Ree!" it got up angry and fired another thunderbolt at Eevee who dodged it with impressive speed.
"Finish it up with quick attack Eevee!" Eevee dodged some more quick attacks and hit Elekid head on making it tumble to the ground.
"Go...pokeball!" Naruto threw the ball at Elekid.
Elekid was dazed as it was pulled into the ball, it swayed back a few times and then stopped.
"Ah...alright, I caught an Elekid!" Naruto grabbed the ball and held it up high, Eevee jumped on his shoulder and cheered.
"Ah he has two more Pokémon than me, where are these stupid rock Pokémon!" yelled Harrison suddenly a large Pokémon burst through the moon rock destroying it. Seymour began to cry as did some of the Clefairy.
"An Onix" said Harrison.
"Our beautiful moon stone!" yelled Seymour.
"You shouldn't blame Onix it looks pretty distressed" Onix roared everyone jumped for cover save for Harrison who stood his ground unwavering. His hair whipping up as Onix tried to escape the cave.
"Go, Butterfree, use sleepowder" Butterfree flew up into the opening of the cave into the sun light and flapped its wings creating a vacuum of light purple powder that made Onix collapse.
"Go, pokeball" Harrison threw the ball and it hit Onix dragging the large Pokémon in.
Harrison watched as the giant rock Pokémon was dragged into the ball. The ball hit the ground and it began swaying back and forth. Harrison stared down the moving ball, a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead as his eyes focused on the ball. Then suddenly it stopped and he couldn't help but letting a grin from ear to ear spread across his face.
"Alright!" he ran up to the ball and picked it up.
"You did awesome Butterfree" Butterfree landed on his head and smiled.
...Like No One Ever Was...
"We're sorry about the moon stone" said Naruto.
The trio stood out the other entrance of mount moon the path to Cerulean City.
"Ah don't worry about it, besides, it'll give me a chance to write some good poetry, what with the dramatic entities that burst forth from the fiery damnation that became the...moon stone" he said dramatically.
"Right...well...see ya Seymour, until we meet again" said Naruto as he and Harrison walked away to Cerulean City. Where an interesting trio of sisters awaits and another gym battle.
