Infernogates: Maybe a Drapion or the Vulture... I don't like Krokodile too much, and thanks.
Eniox27: that would defeat the purpose of putting Sakura in the story then as a Nurse.
Bigluke7456: Thanks.
DragonPony022: Thanks, and its the start of wanting the Master D! But it will take a goood while for them to act on it. Who knows it might not be one of them to get it first~ As for Meganium, I was planning to put him in Johto originally.. but decided Hoenn for now. He will deff. Get one. As for Shiftry, more than likely.. Jiraya is in the story hehe.. I just haven't put him in yet. As for Virizon... I forgot the justice group was in the same range.. So I will deff, put her in consideration. I like all three Dark suggestions, I will put them in thought also.. He will have more than six for each team, it will just take a while to get up to Gym Strength. As for Nincada... Kukuku, let's just say the Uzumaki luck will come through big soon..
Frozen Shadow 95: I shall think about your suggestions. I really just want him to have 1 Mega for his Gym.
Anon: Kuku, I should give him a Cacnea that is just like James.. Very affectionate.
CoolBeanz7: As for Froakie, not sure yet.. I might have Cynthia get the Egg for him.. Or maybe due to the ships that got attacked in Slateport. He and she is Kiba and Hinata, it will be explained, it isn't anything bad. I am honestly thinking giving him two legendaries, and have them both outside there ball. So I will take those three in consideration as long they are under 600 Base Stats, maybe two people but not in Hoenn. He will travel with Narumi and Mito for a bit in Hoenn. Thanks a lot.
Allhailthesith: Would be too easy to give him one~ Kuku, I glad you like... such an immoral story.
Rustboro Pokemon Center – Next Day
Naruto woke up the next day after a refreshing night of sleep. After getting up and stretching, Naruto reached down and woke up Leaf and Mari, before waking up Striker.
"Mari, Leaf, Striker… Time to wake up…" Naruto said soothingly as the three pokemon woke up.
After they woke up and did their own little stretches, they rushed over to Naruto and spoke their own greetings.
"Good Morning, Master." Mari and Leaf said to Naruto.
"Morning, Boss." Striker said to Naruto.
"Good Morning to you three as well." Naruto said while fixing them their breakfast which consisted of PokeChow and Berries for Leaf, and Mari. While Striker had some PokeChow made just for his species, which smelled horrible.
After making sure they were all okay, Naruto grabbed him some clothes before turning on his shower. After spending twenty-minutes washing his body and hair, Naruto came out the bathroom in Gym shorts and a tank top.
"You three ready for some training?" Naruto said to his three pokemon. After getting a nod in confirmation from Mari, Leaf, and Striker; Naruto returned them before grabbing his PokeDex and TMs.
After making sure he had everything for the day, Naruto walked out the Center Room while locking the door behind him. After finding Nurse Haruno, Naruto asked her if they had a training room.
"Ara… it is out back. We have a pool for Water types, a dirt field for regular training, and a track for working on endurance." Nurse Haruno said towards Naruto.
After bowing to Nurse Haruno, Naruto walked out back and nodded as he that it would work just fine.
"All right, Leaf, Mari, Striker. Come on out." Naruto said while releasing his first three pokemon.
After Treecko, Mudkip, and Nincada materialized from their pokeball, Naruto brought out the TM's he bought in Petalburg.
"All right you three. In Petalburg I bought the TM's: Return, Dig, Ice Beam, Hidden Power, and Toxic. Now it is time to choose one or two to learn and then practice today." Naruto said as looked towards his three pokemon.
"I was thinking about letting Striker have Dig for now, Mari for Ice Beam, and Dig. And you Leaf for Hidden Power, and Toxic." Naruto said while watching his three pokemon think for a bit.
"Sure, Striker would be a natural at Dig. It will take me and Leaf a good while to get out moves down. So it would give you time to teach Striker another move." Mari said while getting a nod from both Leaf and Striker.
"Yeah, my species is a natural at Dig. I would hold off on Hidden Power for both me and Mari until we fully evolve, due to it is set in stone. After I master Dig, we can try Hone Claws… I knew a few who learned it after harsh training." Striker said making me, surprised at his knowledge but I just shook it off and laughed.
"All right. It sounds good then, I am going to return you three then use the TMs. Afterwards I will release you and issue you training orders while I get yelled at by my family before jogging." Naruto said while returning Leaf, Mari, and Striker to their pokeballs.
After pulling out the TM's and Pokedex. Naruto put Strikers pokeball on the little add-on he bought when buying the TM's. After selecting Dig, Naruto pushed learn on the screen and waited till it said "moved successfully learned" before removing Strikers pokeball. After returning the pokeball, Naruto put Mari's on the little tray, before selecting Dig, and Ice Beam. After getting the same little message saying it was done, Naruto returned Mari's pokeball to his belt.
As Naruto was putting Leaf's pokeball in the tray he had a thought, "I wonder what type Hidden Power will turn out as…" as he clicked learn it let him choose what type Hidden Power Leaf would learn.
"Hoo… Shit, I didn't expect this… Hm… I should choose the one that covers most of Leaf's weaknesses… Let's see, she is weak to Fire, Flying, Bug, Poison, and Ice. So that leaves pretty much Ground or Rock… Meh, let's do Rock, if I fight a flying pokemon I will use Mari." Naruto thought before deciding on Rock.
After hitting Rock Type, Naruto watched as Leaf's pokeball glowed dark brown before getting the message she learned Hidden Power. After doing the same thing for Toxic, Naruto set the pokeball back on his belt.
"All right, come on out again. Leaf, Mari, Striker." Naruto said while releasing the three of them.
After releasing them he gave the three of them there training instructions. Naruto told Striker to go practice Dig and speed it up until he could Dig 10 feet below in under thirty seconds, then return for more instructions. Naruto told Mari to do the same as Striker before taking a break, then work on freezing a Water Gun which would theoretically be the same as Ice Beam. Then to work on Accuracy, Speed, of Water Gun, Water Pulse, and Ice Beam. Naruto told Leaf to work on shooting Toxic at multiple targets, accuracy, and speed of Hidden Power. Then he told all three of them to work on endurance by running around the track, and for both Leaf and Mari to swim.
After clapping his hands signaling the start of the training session, Naruto went over to a tree and sat down.
"Eh… Let's get this over with…" He said before dialing the home number on his new PokeNav.
After a few seconds, an angry looking red headed demon by the name of Kushina Uzumaki picked up the phone.
"Ara~ Naru-chan! How considerate of you to call." Kushina said while Naruto was cowering under his mother's gaze.
"H-h-hey K-k-kaa-chan!" Naruto said while refusing to look her in the eyes.
"How is my baby boy doing?" Kushina said to her son.
"I am doing okay, Kaa-chan. How is Tou-san, and my sisters doing?" Naruto said with a small smile that was mirrored by Kushina.
"They are doing okay dear… Mito, Narumi, and Cynthia are pissed you didn't call yesterday… So please enlighten me on why you didn't?" Kushina said while a dark aura surrounded her that looked like a vicious ninetails.
"Eeep… You see Kaa-chan! I was helping out Mr. Stone, a Team Magma Grunt stole the Devon Goods. So I went into Rustboro Tunnel to get them back. On the way back I ran into a new team mate, and then I got dragged into Devon Corps. They gave me the PokeNav Plus he said both of you worked on." Naruto said while getting wide eyes from Kushina.
"I see… He gave you the Orange one with PokeSpeech?" Kushina said while getting a curious gaze from Naruto.
"Y-yeah, how did you know?" Naruto said while getting a small chuckle from his mother.
"It was the one I built that I was going have sent to you… I see he gave it out as a reward for you. Take care of it! That particular one cost 230k Pokedollars to make, it is damn near indestructible." Kushina said getting a gulp and a nervous nod from her son.
"I promise Kaa-chan! I just wanted to let you and the rest know, I should be in Slateport in around two weeks… I have to spend some time on Dewford looking for Steven, then training for the Gym there. I shall call when I am about to leave for Slateport so Narumi and Mito can get there." Naruto said getting a smile from Kushina.
"Ara, it isn't only them who will be joining you. Me, your father, and Cynthia decided to come along as well…" Kushina said making Naruto to pale as a ghost, which caused Kushina to laugh.
"I see… I can't wait, hurray… Well I will call you later Kaa-chan. I need to get back to training for Roxanne. Bye!" Naruto said while hanging up after getting a bye from his mother.
After putting the PokeNav up, Naruto got up and started jogging around the track while keeping eyes on Leaf, Striker, and Mari.
After a good hour jog, Naruto stopped them all for lunch before starting again. They kept on with training until early in the evening. Around six in the evening, Naruto signaled them to stop which caused all three of the pokemon to cheer in happiness.
After returning them to their pokeballs, Naruto walked back into the Pokemon Center extremely sweaty from the jogging, pull-ups, and other exercises he did while his pokemon trained.
"No point in letting my body get rusty…" Naruto muttered to his self while walking up to the front desk.
After getting Nurse Haruno's attention, Naruto chuckled as she blushed heavily at his sweaty appearance.
"Ara… Nurse Haruno do you like what you see?' Naruto said while giving her a teasing smile while thinking "Kukuku, she is soo easy to read…"
"N-n-no! Mou! Quit teasing me! What can I do for you, Mr. Uzumaki?" Nurse Haruno said with an irritated smile.
"Heh sorry, Sakura. You are just so easy to tease. Can you please heal my pokemon… they trained hard for the day." Naruto said getting a small smile and a nod from the Nurse known as Sakura.
"Sure. Please come back in thirty-minutes, the machine is not working at full power so it will take longer to heal." Sakura said to Naruto who only nodded.
"Okay, it will give me time to grab a shower." Naruto said while heading towards his room, before turning back towards Sakura who rose an eyebrow in confusion.
"Ufufu, you could always join me… S-a-k-u-r-a…" Naruto said in a seductive tone while raising his tank top to show some of his abs.
Naruto howled in laughter as Sakura turned bright red, which steam coming out of her ears while sputtering incoherently. Before running into the back room to heal his pokemon.
"I told you… you are too easy to tease… heheh." Naruto muttered with a small laugh, while opening his door.
Timeskip: Thirty Minutes
After grabbing a relaxing shower, and throwing his clothes into the wash. Naruto went into the main room and grabbed Mari, Leaf, and Striker's pokeballs.
After returning to their room, Naruto let all three out before scooping them up.
"All right you three… bath time!" Naruto said in a sing-songy voice which caused all three to stiffen.
After swapping into swim trunks, Naruto threw Leaf and Mari into the shower, while putting Striker into the small mud bath in the room. After giving both Leaf and Mari a good wash down to make sure they were clean. Much to both of their embarrassment and liking… Naruto dried them off and shooing them out of the bathroom, before turning to Striker.
"All right… Let's get this over with, I am hungry and sleepy." Naruto said while putting on a predatory smile which made Striker shiver.
For the next twenty-minutes, all Leaf and Mari heard was shouts and the sounds of struggle before a smiling Naruto, and grumpy Striker emerged from the bathroom.
"Kukuku, since that is done… let's fix you three dinner, I am getting tired, plus I want to challenge Roxanne in the morning." Naruto said getting tilted heads from all three of his pokemon.
"Are you sure we are ready to fight Roxanne?" Both Leaf and Mari said, while getting a nod from Striker.
"You and Mari, of course. While the new moves won't be ready, we have pretty much mastered your other ones. We will take a longer training session in Dewford as I want Striker to fight in that gym." Naruto said while getting a nod from all three of his pokemon.
"All right, here you three go. Leaf you have a Berry Salad, Mari you have a weird Berry slush, and Striker… I am not sure what it is, but PokeMart sold it for your species…" Naruto said while watching all three of his pokemon devour there meal for the night.
After fixing his pokemon food, Naruto pulled out a cup of Instant Ramen and fixed it. After letting it cool down, he devoured it while sighing in contentment.
"Man… If my family found out I was eating Ramen again… I would be killed." Naruto said while sighing happily while getting a confused look from his pokemon, which he just ignored.
After finishing his dinner, and putting his pokemon's bowls away. Naruto fixed the bed again for Striker, while making his own since Leaf and Mari sleep in it. After making sure it was perfect for Striker, he threw the small bug in it and watched as he creeped around in joy.
"Thanks boss! And Good Night." Striker said to Naruto while going to the deepest part which was surrounded by pillows from both top and bottom bunk, before laying down.
After chuckling, Naruto laid down on the other bunk bed while letting Leaf and Mari get into a comfortable position on both sides. After making sure they were comfortable he gave them both a small kiss on their forehead which caused them to blush tomato red.
"Good night, girls." Naruto said while yawning as both Leaf and Mari looked up at him.
"Good Night, Master." Both Leaf and Mari said while snuggling closer before closing their eyes, while all three eventually fell asleep.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Next Morning xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
After waking up and grabbing all of his stuff and packing it in his backpack. Naruto placed his Pokedex and wallet in his back pocket, while putting his PokeNav around his neck due to putting a piece of string in a small loop at the end. After throwing his backpack on, and placing his pokeballs which contained all three of his pokemon.
Due to the storm that was supposed to pop up during the day, Naruto told Leaf and Mari to stay in their pokeballs so they don't risk getting sick. After making sure everything was secure, and wouldn't get wet he walked out the Center Room.
After dropping off the key to Sakura, and teasing her about how she wouldn't be able to stand him leaving… Which caused him to get hit upside the head, Naruto walked out of the Center while giving her one last wave before heading towards the Gym.
After a few minutes of walking, Naruto made it outside the Gym but saw quite a few kids standing outside. After walking up, Naruto saw a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties speaking to the kids.
"All right children, today I will be showing you around the Gym. If you are extremely lucky, I might get a challenger. Now let's head inside." Naruto heard the beautiful woman say to the kids while ushering them in the Rustboro Gym.
After deducing that she must be Roxanne, Naruto decided to wait a bit so she could give a tour to the kids.
"Hoo… I might be able to give some future trainers, experience at viewing gym battles… They don't really show any on TV unless it's a League Exhibition Match…" Naruto thought while having a small smile.
After waiting what seemed to be forty-minutes, Naruto decided to walk into the Gym. After pushing the double doors open, Naruto walked in with a smile on his face.
Rustboro Gym
After Naruto walked into the Gym, the first person he saw was the Gym receptionist. It was a woman that seemed to be around her mid 50's which the almost exact same features as the woman he assumed was the Gym Leader earlier.
"Hello there, miss. I was wondering if it would be possible to fight the Gym Leader today." Naruto said with a smile on his face.
The beautiful woman just looked up at him with a smile before, looking down at a book.
"Yes you will be able to my boy. You are actually in luck, Roxanne is in today with a group of children. She is giving them a small tour, would you mind if they watched your battle?" The lady asked with a small smile on her face.
"Not at all mam. I would be glad to let them watch, it might help them figure out if they truly want to be trainers." Naruto said with a beaming smile on his face, which caused the lady to smile back at him.
"Great. Please go through those doors, and I will tell my daughter she has a challenger." The lady said while gesturing me through some double doors.
After giving her a nod while heading through the double doors, Naruto found his self at the Battle Field. While waiting for the Leader, Naruto scoped out that it was a rocky terrain, and started to formulate a plan.
"Mmm… I will let Mari come out first, maybe get lucky and either freeze the field, or make it muddy…" thought Naruto. After a few minutes of formulating a plan, Naruto was brought out of his thoughts by some doors opening, and a lot of excited voices.
"Welcome to the Rustboro Gym, I am the Gym Leader Roxanne." The beautiful lady from earlier said while extending her hand.
"It is nice to meet you, miss. The name is Naruto." Naruto said while extending his hand and performing a hand shake.
"I am glad that you don't mind the children watching… all my other challengers decline when I ask them for my other classes…" Roxanne said with a small frown.
"It's okay, I understand… it can be distracting. If you want, you can record this one for the others, I don't mind." Naruto said getting a beautiful smile from Roxanne who nodded her head.
"Thank You Naruto. My other students will be happy to watch this tomorrow." Roxanne replied as she told the assistant who turned out to be her mother to record the match.
"This match shall be two on two, only you have the right to substitute pokemon. Is that okay?" Roxanne said while going into Gym Leader Mode.
"Yes, would you mind if I let my newest pokemon out to watch? I want him to see what a fight looks like, before I hit Dewford." Naruto asked while getting a nod from Roxanne.
"Sure, I assume you must have just caught it?" Roxanne replied.
"Yes mam. I got it two days ago." Naruto said while grabbing Strikers pokeball.
"Striker, come on out." Naruto said while releasing Nincada.
"Yo, boss man. What's going on? Who are these people?" Striker said while looking at all the children and Roxanne.
"Hehe, I am going to have you watch Leaf and Mari fight in the Gym Battle, Striker. It will prepare you for Dewford Gym." Naruto said towards Striker who nodded and sat beside him.
"You can understand what he said?" One of the children asked in awe. Naruto chuckled thinking "I should tease them…" before shaking his head.
"Yeah, but it is due to PokeSpeech. It is an App, Devon Corps and Uzumaki Industries made up for the new PokeNav Plus. It will let you understand the pokemon you have captured, and recorded in your pokedex." Naruto said getting awe's and gasps from everyone including Roxanne.
"How do you have that if I may ask? That isn't supposed to come out till early winter." Roxanne asked with narrowed eyes.
"Ehh… she might think I have stolen the technology…" Naruto thought while gulping, before raising his hands in a placating motion.
"My full name is Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki. Mr. Stone and my mother, have been working on a PokeNav for me from what I heard… I got it yesterday for helping Mr. Stone out." Naruto said while showing Roxanne the Orange PokeNav Plus.
"I s-s-see… it would make sense the only son of Minato and Kushina would have it… I am sorry for insinuating you stole it." Roxanne said while bowing to Naruto.
Naruto could only chuckle and give her a wave, and say. "It is perfectly all right… unless you know who I was, it would be wise to assume I stole it."
"Hehehe, you are right… Well let's get this battle going, all right my students… please go sit on the bleachers." Roxanne said while pointing to the bleachers where her students went to sit on.
"All right, I shall go first. Geodude, go." Roxanne said releasing the rock pokemon known as Geodude.
"Geooo! Dude! Geo!" Geodude said its name while slamming its hands on the ground.
"Oooh! It looks strong. Mari, Battle Stations!" Naruto yelled while releasing Mudkip.
"Ooh! I finally get to fight… I shall win this battle for you, master!" Mari said while jumping up and down in excitement. Which caused Naruto to chuckle at her enthusiasm.
"All right, Girl. Settle down…" Naruto said while getting Mari to calm down and focus on the opponent.
"Roxanne of Rustboro City vs Naruto of Pallet. BEGIN!" The Referee yelled starting the match.
Roxanne didn't waste any time and yelled for her Geodude to start with Rollout. Geodude folded his arms up and hit the ground and started to roll towards Mari with speed and power.
"Mari, Water Pulse." Naruto yelled towards Mari who formed a ball of Water and hit Geodude in mid-stride causing it to yell in pain, stopping Rollout.
"Geodude! Magnitude." Roxanne yelled out to Geodude in worry, before Geodude grunted and hit the ground hard with its arms. It caused the ground to shake, making Mari panic due to the ground shaking.
"Ahhh! Why is it shaking?" Mari said while falling down due to the powerful Magnitude.
"It is okay, Mari. That one was just powerful. Use Water Pulse." Naruto said while giving Mari a command.
Mari shot the Water Pulse towards Geodude who dodged it with Roll Out thanks to Roxanne. As Mari was about to shoot another Water Pulse, she was hit with Roll Out and hit in the air.
"Mari! Avalanche!" Naruto yelled getting a nod from Mari who released a mountain amount of snow at Geodude, who was hit head on.
After the Avalanche subsided, it showed Geodude panting and shivering due to the coldness. While Mari was shocked that it survived Naruto thought… "Damn… it had Sturdy…" Before Naruto could give a command to Mari, Roxanne interrupted with her own.
"Geodude, Self-Destruct." Roxanne said with a frown.
"Mari! MOVE NOW!" Naruto yelled out in desperation, but it was for nothing as Geodude grabbed Mari while glowing before there was a giant explosion.
All the occupants in the room, had to shield their eyes due to the amount of dirt and rock that was being thrown across the field. After the onslaught of dirt and rock settled down, Naruto and the rest opened their eyes.
Naruto gasped as he saw Mari. She was on her side's unconscious with swirls for eyes, breathing shallowly. Naruto ran onto the field, and over to Mari and cradled her in his arms.
"I-i-i a-a-am sorry Master… I wanted to win, but that move was too strong…" Mari said with pained breaths.
"No… it is okay girl, I should have trained us to expect this… I didn't think the first Gym would have a move like this, would make sense in case of emergencies… I am sorry I failed you on this one, I shall train us more thoroughly after this." Naruto said with a huge frown as he returned Mari to her pokeball.
"I can understand if you are angry, Naruto… but I used it to give my students a lesson, and lecture on the dangers of using Explosion, and Self-Destruct." Roxanne said with a frown on her face, as all the children looking on a little afraid.
"No, it is fine… Those moves aren't illegal, I just didn't think to train for them this early on… I should technically thank you." Naruto said while reaching for Leaf's pokeball.
"But it won't work this time… Leaf, GO!" Naruto said while throwing Treecko's pokeball.
"I shall get revenge, and win us the battle, master!" Leaf said to me with a fire in her eyes.
"Yes, let's win this one for Mari and Striker." Naruto said to Leaf who nodded her head.
"All right, since last fight was a draw… we shall go all out on this one. Nosepass, GO!" Roxanne said while releasing the weirdest looking pokemon in this history of the world.
Naruto, Striker, and Leaf were all just staring at the weird pokemon with a tilted head. It stood a little over three feet tall, its body was purple and had two small rocky feet, what seemed to be stone arms sticking out on the body, and a giant red nose…
"What in Arceus is that!?" Naruto thought while taking out his Pokedex to scan it.
[Nosepass: The Compass Pokemon – Its magnetic nose always faces north. It draws iron objects to its body to protect itself better.]
After blinking owlishly, Naruto returned his Pokedex and waited for the referee to start the fight.
"Roxanne's Nosepass vs. Naruto's Treecko, BEGIN!" The referee yelled while waving flags.
"Nosepass, let's start off with Thunder Wave." Roxanne said as Nosepass shot an electric wave towards Leaf.
"Leaf! Dodge with Quick Attack. Then use Toxic." Naruto said while Leaf used Quick Attack to jump over the Thunder Wave, before shooting the purple sludge known as Toxic at Nosepass.
Nosepass was too slow to dodge and was hit with Toxic. Nosepass grunted in pain as it glowed purple letting to know it was poisoned. Roxanne frowned while thinking "Should I use Rest? If I do it now, I can get rid of Toxic… but it would just allow him to reapply it, then attack…" before telling Nosepass.
"Nosepass, use Rock Tomb." Roxanne said while Nosepass slammed its feet on the ground causing Rocks to shoot out the ground Leaf in a tomb like fashion.
"Shit! Leaf, Jump!" Naruto yelled making Leaf jumping, hoping to dodge the Rock Tomb. Leaf jumped up and missed most of the move, but her right leg was captured inside the move.
"Ekk! Master, what do I do? I can't pull it out." Leaf said in a mild-panic.
"Drain Punch, then Pound it." Naruto said as Leaf hit the rocks with both Drain Punch and then Pound. As Leaf was making headway into breaking it, Roxanne had formed a plan.
"Nosepass, use Lock-On." Roxanne said while Nosepass eye's glowed before Leaf did a second later, signaling he was locked on.
"What is she planning…?" Naruto thought while telling Leaf to keep up with the Pound and Drain Punch. As soon as Leaf broke free from the Rock Tomb, Roxanne told Nosepass to strike.
"Nosepass, Zap-Cannon." Roxanne said while Nosepass shot a huge ball of electricity at Leaf.
"Shit! Leaf, brace yourself!" Naruto said as Leaf braced herself as the Zap-Cannon attack hit.
When the attack hit, it caused a mini explosion causing dirt and rocks to scattered in every direction. After a minute, it died down to show a heavily damaged and panting Leaf, while a equally damaged Nosepass due to Toxic and the debris from the attack.
"Leaf! If you can move, Absorb." Naruto said causing Leaf to nod while using Absorb. Her eyes glowed green as Leaf used Absorb. Nosepass was looking around until it felt its energy get weaker, and started to panic.
"Dang! Nosepass, REST!" Roxanne yelled hoping this move wouldn't come back and bite her in the ass.
"Sweet! Leaf, reapply Toxic, and hit it with Drain Punch!" Naruto said as Leaf nodded and shot toxic back at Nosepass, before dashing in and hitting it with a few Drain Punches.
"Nosepass! Snore!" Roxanne said as Nosepass released a loud sound that caused Leaf to grab her head and jump back.
"Shit… All right, Leaf use Bullet Seed." Naruto said as Leaf heard me barely and shot Bullet Seed at Nosepass from a distance.
"I need to take it out before it wakes up… or I am screwed." Naruto thought before he had an idea hit him.
"Leaf! Use Quick Attack, then Drain Punch with both hands." Naruto said as Leaf quit using Bullet Seed, before looking at him funny.
"If you say so, master." Leaf said before shooting off like a missile, before slamming into Nosepass with dual Drain Punches. The extra speed caused Nosepass to fall onto its back.
"Great! Finish it off with Absorb." Naruto said while Leaf nodded and started to use Absorb on the still asleep Nosepass.
"EKK! Nosepass, WAKE UP!" Roxanne yelled to no avail as Nosepass was still out due to Rest.
After a few more seconds of Absorb, Nosepass fainted with swirl for eyes. After the referee declared Nosepass unable to battle, Naruto yelled in Joy as Striker and Naruto rushed over to Leaf who was tired.
"Great job Leaf! That was close near the end, but luckily you and boss man pulled it off." Striker said while scurrying up to Leaf.
"Yes, marvelous job Leaf. I am happy you trusted me enough to listen to my crazy idea. I am proud of you." Naruto said before Leaf gave him a loving smile before being engulfed by a white light.
"Ehh… seriously?! I didn't think this would happen yet…" Naruto said in shock as Leaf's body grew, and grew.
"Looks like Boss Lady #1 is evolving…" Striker said with a chuckle.
Leaf's body grew taller and slimmer while she evolved, she gained a green stripe across her stomach, and her webbed feet become two claw like. Her hands became claw like also with three sharp looking leaves at the side of each one. At the top of her head was a long thing leaf that reached all the way down her back.
As the light ended Naruto noticed she stood up to his waist, bending down Naruto gave Leaf a kiss on her forehead which made her blush. Naruto chuckled and whispered to her.
"I am proud of you, my little Leaf." Which caused her to blush even more before responding.
"I am glad, I strive to make you proud of me, Master~" Leaf said in a semi-seductive voice before touching her pokeball to return her.
"Ehh… Must be tired still after evolving." Naruto said while getting a nod from Striker who motioned to be returned as well.
After returning his pokeballs to his belt, Naruto turned around to see Roxane and the children walk up to him, smiling.
"That was a wonderful match, I am sure my students will learn a lot from it in the future." Roxanne said before grabbing something out of her pocket.
"For beating me, I award you The Stone Badge, also the TM, Rock Tomb." Roxanne said while handing me the Stone Badge, and also the TM chip for Rock Tomb.
"Thank you for fighting me, and I have learned a lot… I will make sure to train on this before I fight brawly in Dewford." Naruto said getting a smile from Roxanne.
"I am sure you will, I will let Brawly know that he is in for a fight. I expect great things from you Naruto." Roxanne said while she and the children waved good bye to me as I started to head towards the pokemon center.
Timeskip: 1 Hour Later
After making a stop at the Pokemon Center, Naruto decided to head down Route 104 and into Petalburg Forest. As Naruto entered Petalburg Forest a second time, he looked down at his PokeNav and noticed it was getting late. After making it half way into the Forest, Naruto decided to make camp for the night.
After releasing Leaf, Mari, and Striker he gave them small chores to do. Naruto asked Leaf to go bring him some fallen limbs and such to use as fire wood. Naruto asked Striker to dig a small fire pit, and to soften the earth to set up the tent. Naruto then asked Mari to use Water Gun to fill up a few pots with water.
After they all finished their chores, Naruto cooked them some delicious berry soup for dinner, as they were eating. Naruto gave praise to both Leaf and Mari and that Mari shouldn't feel discouraged. While Mari was jealous that Leaf evolved and won, she was disappointed that she lost. At least she was until Striker gave her some encouraging words, and Naruto hugging her close to him. Which cause Mari, to have swirls for eyes and faint.
After having Mari help him with the dishes after they ate, Naruto and his three pokemon settled into the giant tent for the evening. As soon as they zipped up the tent, it started to storm.
"Huh… what luck, soon as we get ready for bed… it storms." Naruto said while chuckling.
"Sure is boss! Do you think we can explore deeper into the Forest tomorrow before we head to that old man's house?" Striker asked hoping to explore a bit, due to only living in Route 116 and the Tunnel.
"Sure, maybe we get lucky and find a new team mate." Naruto said while setting Striker into his den of solitude. After getting Striker settled, Naruto stripped down to his boxers which caused both Leaf and Mari to blush like tomatoes. After getting comfortable, Naruto gave both Leaf and Mari kisses on the forehead before wishing all three of them good night.
That is Chapter 4. I hope it is an improvement.
I know I said we would see Dewford Town and Granite Cave, but I decided to do all over Dewford in 1 chapter.
We see the luck of the Uzumaki next chapter… I wonder what he finds, as I haven't decided yet~
As for his Gym Team, I am mostly done with each one.
Grass Team: Meganium, Ferrothorn, Roserade, Shiftry, Venasaur, Sceptile, Mow Rotom, Virizon, Maractus.
Dark Team: Drapion, Umbreon, Zoroak, Spiritomb, Pangoro, Honchkrow, Houndoom, Absol, Greninja.
I might change the teams, but I have nine to choose from for now. His Gym will run Single, Doubles, Not sure about Triples yet. He will also have a multi-type field, like they did in the Indigo League. It can either change the whole field, or half.
I am kind skeptical on Virizon joining the team, but I could have it… shall be her, even though legends are genderless. I could have her join him in League Exhibition matches.
I need ideas on where to set his sights on building his Gym.
Current Team:
Grovyle (Leaf) - Pound, Leer, Tackle, Quick Attack, Toxic, Hidden Power, Absorb, Drain Punch, Bullet Seed.
Mudkip (Mari) - Tackle, Growl, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Dig, Ice Beam, Avalanche, Mirror Coat, Return.
Nincada (Striker) - Scratch, Sand Attack, Harden, Giga Drain, Dig, Feint Attack, Leech Life.
