Fist of the Pikachu!: Nindo of Legends
Disclaimer: I had a snarky disclaimer but I forgot it...
...Eleven Years ago...
"Brother.."
"Yes dear sister?"
"Tell me a bedtime story, the one of our ancestors."
The young man looked at his little sister and smiled, he couldn't resist telling the young one her favorite story, even though she had heard it many times. As he tucked in the green-haired girl he began his story.
"This story takes place over two hundred years ago, our ancestor Kisuke Koga lived in a land where ninjas were common place and he had just become the leader of his village; The village hidden in the Clouds. As the Raikage, Kisuke had many duties..." the little girl couldn't help but giggle, "...ahem, as I was saying, Kisuke had many things needed of him. Most important was protection of his village, to that purpose he would even risk his life."
"One day as Kisuke battled the immortal enemy known as paperwork, his village was attacked by a demon. The demon was the eight-tailed wolf Ookami, and it had appeared right in the middle of the village!" The young man watched as his sister's eyes widened in excitement, "Knowing this was the second most powerful demon in the land and his village was in extreme danger, Kisuke decided to use his most powerful spell in hopes of destroying the creature. Standing atop his tower overlooking the burning debris and rubble that was once his home, he began his spell: Zeus' Rage!.
"The demon wolf saw the leader of the village, clad in white garb, and began his own attack. Kisuke knew he only had one shot to protect the rest of his village, and as he released his spell, the demon did the same. Lightning and black fire met and fused as the powers caused the two to be drawn in to the expanding implosion." Strange how a story of demon fighting would cause the girl to calm down, and begin to doze off, he continued in a hushed voice now.
"Both Kisuke and the Ookami had been drawn in to the epicenter of the attacks, and Kisuke's world became blackness. It is said our ancestor was the same Kisuke Koga that fought the demon wolf on that day and being drawn into the spells brought him to our world, starting the Koga pokémon ninja clan..."
Fuuma Koga smiled as he watched his dear sister Ia fall into a deep slumber, "Goodnight my dear sister." as the young head of the clan headed out of the room Ia called to him one last time.
"Brother, one day I wanna meet a real ninja. Like the one's Kisuke played with."
Fuuma just chuckled, "If you wish really hard, and are patient. I believe you will."
...Present Day...
"Kagemaru, I want to do something about these gangs using pokémon to steal and kidnap. I say we start teaching these guys lessons in treating every creature as equals" announced Naruto as he held up the victory sign.
"Sounds good, can I go too?"
Naruto and Kagemaru looked behind them to find a green-haired kunoichi with a pokéball belt and a knapsack, "And who're you?" asked Naruto. He didn't like people sneaking up on him, more so now after the fusing with Kyuubi, and this girl did it like she had been trained to.
"Naruto-sensei that's one of Saotome's companions."
"Oh yea! Now what was her name... Ee-yah?"
Ia face-faulted into the ground at the sound of her name being mispronounced, maybe she should have made more of an impression while Ranma was working on the training manual for Naruto.
Face red Ia kinda took the mispronunciation to the butt, as seen when her fist collided into the blonde's skull and launched him into the side of the partially standing barn, causing the rest of the structure to collapse on Naruto.
"Oooouuuch! What was that for?" whined Naruto in a crying chibi form.
"My name is Ia," pointing to her eye, "And if you and your...pokémon? Weren't so busy training, you might have remembered!."
Helping Kagemaru to retrieve his sensei, Ia pulled the hanyou from the rubble and looked him over for injuries. Finding nothing aside from a loose thread, the poké-kunoichi decided to get serious.
"Naruto-san, my name is Koga Ia of the Koga pokémon ninja clan, and as the only representative of my clan in this country I must ask a something of you... although it is difficult to do so. In fact, I feel like a silly little girl for considering it, but I must. Have you ever heard of a 'Raikage'?"
"Naruto-san, have I said something wrong?"
"No Ia, it's just that hearing someone of this world speak of a 'Kage'... Tell me, what connection do you have to the Raikage and my world?"
Naruto could see the glint of hope and relief in the green haired girls eyes as she steeled herself again and began to speak. He listened as his hopes were barely contained.
"My brother would tell me stories of my ancestor Koga Kisuke, a man not of this world but one where ninja ruled and fought and the only supernatural creatures were demons of great and terrible power. Kisuke was known as the Nidaime Raikage."
Naruto's mind was a blur of images that seemed to be the memories of Kyuubi, a man in a pure white robe covered in lightning, the Hachibi no Ookami releasing a blast of black fire, both combatants being drawn into the attacks, and finally the demon wolf pulling itself from the warped reality the attacks created.
It was the first time Naruto had experienced the Kyuubi's memories and it took him by surprise so much he didn't even think about it when he vocalized the answer the demon fox had only thought to ask of once, and only once.
"Haha, So the human did survive... and became the leader of a new clan, interesting. So you mean to tell me the First Raikage is your ancestor? But you have no chakra training, advanced training yes, even a grasp on manifesting inner energies, but you have no signs of any real ninja training. Why is this?"
Ia blushed at this, "Well the story ends by saying that Kisuke lost all memories of his magic, retaining only the basics and eventually expanding upon those with the help of the indigenous wild life, otherwise known as Pokémon. It wasn't until Kisuke was on his death bed that he remembered all he had once lost, and being unable to teach anything of practical use he instead told the story of how he came to the world."
"Naruto-san, I have left my party to ask if I may join you on your journey, learn from you, and possibly return with you, when you leave for your world. If you say no I will not mind, I will return to Ranma and continue to train with him." Ia finished and bowed her head, she was too embarrassed to even look at Naruto.
Naruto on the other hand had a huge grin on his face as he looked at the girl, here was someone who genuinely wanted to to know about him and his world, technically hers as well. And although he had no clue as to how he was going to get home, he knew that as each day passed he gained more and more knowledge from the absorption of the Kyuubi, and soon he could figure a way home. But first, he and Kagemaru had a job to do.
"Your leaving will not be necessary, as I have decided to let you join with Kagemaru and I..."
"Naruto-sensei, is this a wise decision? We know nothing of this girl." interrupted Kagemaru, bringing his suspicions to his master's attention.
"Yes Kagemaru, it is a wise decision. This girl is descendant to the first Raikage and is also a friend to Ranma, as such she is automatically a friend." Holding his hand out to Ia, "Welcome Ia, I'm sure there is much we can learn from one another!"
"THANKYOUSOOOVERYVERYMUCH!I'VEWANTEDTHISSINCEIWASALITTLEGIRL!..." Realizing she had started babbling, Ia slowed down and stopped yelling with a sweatdrop, "Sorry I'm just so excited to meet someone from Kisuke's world, and now to have you call me a friend. Thank you!"
"Not a problem, Now if I can ask you something? What are those items on your belt?"
Kagemaru and Ia face-faulted as Naruto reached for a red and white orb on the belt.
"Hey! Give that back!" whined Ia.
Naruto dodged all of her attempts to retrieve a pokéball and began to examine the it,and seeing the white button, curiosity took over and Naruto pressed it.
POM
"Ahhhh! Get offa me! Someone heeeellllpp me pleeeeaaaasssee!"
Ia could be seen rolling on the ground laughing and Kagemaru just shook his head. The sight of Naruto running around screaming like a little girl just because Venonat had landed on him when released from the pokéball was ridiculous.
"Really, get it off!, this bug is soooo creepy! Kagemaru help your master and squash the bug!" Naruto, concluding it wouldn't let go, just sat down and began to shake visibly.
Kagemaru could only wonder why someone so powerful, would be afraid of a bug pokémon. Figuring it was the part of his master that was still human, he laughed it off as he removed the venonat from Naruto's head.
"Awww, don't take me away from my golden... venonat?" the venonat was confused, it swore when it emerged from the pokéball it saw a golden venonat, not the boy it now saw. Sadend and dejected the venonat pressed the button on it's pokéball and returned to think on what had happened.
"Anyways...," interrupted Ia, "It seems that you have no knowledge on the ways of this world, so in exchange for teaching me the ways of the true ninja, I'll introduce you to the man who can teach you everything about pokémon, Professor Oak!"
Not even waiting for a response, Ia grabbed Naruto by the wrist and began running south towards Mr. Pokémon's house.
Two days and six very sore feet later, Naruto, Kagemaru, and Ia reached the home of Mr. Pokémon. Mr. Pokémon was a collector and researcher for Professor Oak, so naturally the poké-poet would be at the cabin every now and again.
Lately to Oak, Mr. Pokémon had been calling to report the most inane and useless things possible, from a butterfree with blue eyes to a ditto with a spot on it's head. Yet being the worlds foremost expert on pokémon, Samuel Oak couldn't say no to a single report. So when he got a call from Mr. Pokemon's number he sighed largely as he answered.
"Hello John(A/N: just a guess on the name), what... IS THAT!? Is that a pokémon?" Instantly fixating on Kagemaru who he could see meditating with it's legs crossed, on the ceiling.
"Well you see Samuel, I was investigating the ditto with the spot on it's head when it saw something pass the window, I paid it no mind until the ditto turned into the same pokémon that is now on the ceiling. From what I gather from the young people who are here... hey you... just... wait a moment..."
Mr. Pokémon said as he was pushed to the side by Ia of the Koga ninja, and a blonde haired boy in black clothing with orange stripes.
"Ia my dear, is that pokémon yours?" asked Oak.
"No sir, the hitmonin, which I think it's called belongs to Naruto-san here. If it was okay I was wondering if you could give him a crash course in pokémon?" asked Ia
"I'm sorry, a...crash course?" Oak looked over the boy and without missing a pause turned very serious, "Tell me young Naruto, do you come from the same place as Ranma? I assume since your with Ia, who previously was traveling with Ranma, that you at least know him by now."
An understanding quickly washed over Naruto, Ranma must have told this "Oak" person the truth of being from another world, deciding that withholding information would not help matters Naruto told him the truth.
After a fifteen minute explanation of who he was, the basics of where he came from, and his new goals both Mr. Pokémon and Professor Oak stared at Naruto in shock. Mr. Pokémon was just shocked to learn of other dimensions, Professor Oak on the other hand had long come to the conclusion that there were other worlds in which humans live. The appearances of Ranma and now this Naruto cemented his belief of other dimensions.
"(ahem) After thinking this over I have decided that Mr. Pokémon is to teach Naruto, due to my heavy work load I don't think I can even leave. But before I hang up and leave you to the tutoring, I have something for you, Naruto if you could please step up to the green platform." said Oak in a cheerful manner.
Going to the platform, Naruto saw three stands with nothing upon them. Hearing a loud hum, he decided to move back just a bit, luckily his instincts were spot on. Just then a bolt of electricity hit all three stands sending a small shockwave past the inhabitants of the cabin, causing a the hairs on their necks to stand. When all was done, the stands now had objects on them.
"Now," said Professor Oak, "To your left are pokéballs, they store your pokémon. Do be careful though, you can only hold six pokémon on you. The rest are teleported to the storage system under your trainer I.D." The old man pointed to nine red and white balls, "On your right is your GearDex, a combination of the updatable pokédex and the pokégear. With it you can, view information on pokémon you see and add information on new pokémon evolutions, seeing as you already have an undiscovered species. Also the Pokégear aspect gives you a map, a radio, a cell phone, and of course a clock."
"And finally," Said Oak as he looked directly at Naruto, "If on your travels you happen to meet with my grandson, give him this."
Naruto went to the middle platform and pulled of a gold pendant hung on a black string," That is to replace the one he lost in the Silver Caves."
"Thank you Professor Oak, your kindness shall be remembered." said Naruto as he inspected the pokéballs and the new GearDex.
"Now John, remember this boy is here to learn the basics. We're friends, but don't send this boy on any of your crazy errands. Just teach him and be done." And with that Professor Oak said his goodbyes and the vid screen shut off.
"Okay now kids, I have bunks set up in the back room next to the study, you can use those." Looking to Naruto, Mr. Pokémon continued "After breakfast we'll begin your tutoring, when that is done I'll need to be alone for my research. Now be off with you, I have research to do!"
Meanwhile, somewhere nearby...
"...You had better not be lying to me." Spoke a man whose face is covered by shadows.
" I-i swear it sir, the boy and his pokémon gave off a energy that surpassed the Saotome boys own, if you give me a chance I know I can get him to join us." said Tyler, his body covered in bandages and bruises.
" Fine, but you have one month."
"Yes sir! Giovanni sir!"
Author's Note: Holy shit! That was a tuffy! I could barely write anything since I posted the last chapter, what with work and my girlfriend. Anyways, sorry to disappoint those of you who wanted one of Ash's gang but I want to work the ninja angle, and give Naruto something nice to look at while traveling. To answer a question, yes Kagemaru will be given a pokéball I just haven't written it in yet. I gotta do filler before I can do the cool shit, I HATE IT!! Anywho, Ja Ne!
