Welcome to the Fourth Chapter of the Whirlpool Trainer
Sorry about the late update I got into a car accident that resulted in me only being able to top with one hand while dealing with Semester Exams.
The votes for the harem are at the bottom and voting ends when the next chapter comes out. And about the romance part of the whole story in general, I'm not going to make all the girls fall in love with him instantly, (well maybe one but even then it's complicated) because i like pairings and everything, but once a pairing is formed the story kind of mellows out and it's all about those characters so I'll build up their friendship first.
Naruto will catch more than six Pokémon but he still will only be able to carry six of them at a time. I decided to add a female to the pairing, but this is non-negotiable and just to be a bit evil I won't tell who she is or put her down on the list either.
Another thing about the story, I decided to put a period of three days in between the the Rusturf Tunnel and the Junior Tournament starting. The Pokémon that are used in this chapter can all be found in the Hoenn region despite them originally starting out in different regions.
'I wonder where Sapphire is?' Naruto thought as he stepped up for his battle. She didn't show up amongst the people competing today and he was actually somewhat worried about her.
The crowd cheered as the referee called out the first match, "Let the first round of the Junior Tournament begin! First up is Naruto Uzumaki from Lilycolve City versus Kiba Inuzuka from Mauville City, will the spectators please come down to the arena!" In the red corner stood Naruto while in the blue corner stood a rather feral kid around his age with black spiky hair covered by a grey furred hoody and red fang marks on the side of his cheeks. He had a look of confidence in his eye that also revealed arrogance. "The battle will be a one vs one battle and when one Pokémon has fainted the battle is over, now please send out your Pokémon."
"Let's go Saber!" the feeling Pokémon hopped out of his Premier Ball with an excited cry.
"Akamaru let's waste this chump!" a small green Pokémon with yellow stripes running up and down its head and tail appeared on the field with a cry of Electrike.
Naruto's Pokédex went off causing him to pull it out, "Electrike the Lightning Pokémon: Electrike stores electricity in its long body hair. This Pokémon stimulates its leg muscles with electric charges. These jolts of power give its legs explosive acceleration performance.
"Let the battle begin!"
"Akamaru use Spark!" Kiba called out as Akamaru sped towards Saber covered in a blue field of electrical energy before the Feeling Pokémon simply dodged it by leaning backwards and sliding under the Lightning Pokémon. "Grr, Akamaru now use Bite!" he ordered as Saber sidestepped the running electric Pokémon causing both the Pokémon and his trainer to growl in frustration.
"Nice job Saber," Naruto said as he held both of his hands behind his back, an action that was mirrored by Saber as he dodged another incoming attack.
"Stop dodging dammit!"
Naruto tilted his head to the side, "Now why on earth would I do that? But I guess you make somewhat of a decent point, Saber use Fire Punch!" Naruto ordered as the shiny Pokémon quickly slammed a fiery fist into the maw of Electrike sending it flying back.
"Don't take that Akamaru use Spark again!" once again Electrike was covered in a blue field of electricity before charging at Saber who had both of his hands ready in a battle stance. With a quick call of Thunder Punch the two electric type moves clashed. Now usually a Pokémon who uses a move of their own type has a better chance at overpowering a Pokémon who's a different type than the move that he is using. So it was quite surprising when the attacks cancelled each other out.
-In the Stands-
"Naruto's really lucky that he found that Ralts," Roxanne said somewhat awed at Saber winning over Electrike without using a Psychic type move yet. Millis nodded her head in agreement until Electrike got hit by a Bite attack only for him to send him flying with Confusion. Roxanne's mother said nothing as she watched Saber sort of read Electrike's moves and then adjust, 'While it's mostly true that Ralts is a fine Pokémon, I have a feeling Naruto's nature strengthened it even further.'
Higher up in the stands a tanned figure giggled as she watched Kiba continued to grow more and more frustrated as only a few of all of his attacks actually made contact. While on the other hand Naruto and Saber looked to be perfectly fine as all of his attacks connected.
"Man this guy is good."
"Whishmur Whish," Aster said as she hopped on her mother's shoulder.
The girl petted Aster on the head, "I know Aster, but it will be a minute before you can get any brothers or sisters."
"Whismur."
Back with the Battle
"I've had enough of your damn dodging! Akamaru use Take Down!" The rather feral male ordered as Electrike was coated in a yellow glow before charging at speeds faster than normal.
Naruto's expression turned serious as his eyes zeroed in on Electrike and noticed that the Lightning Pokémon was had a slight bruise forming on his head after the first punch. "Saber use Magical Leaf."
"Ralts!" the shiny feeling Pokémon cried out before launching a plethora of colored leaves at the incoming Pokémon. The leaves flew extremely close to the ground kicking up a small storm of dust before they crashed into the incoming Electric Pokémon.
"Push through it Akamaru!" Kiba called out and despite Akamaru taking even more damage it pushed through the attack, but when he made contact with Saber Electrike passed through the feeling Pokémon as if he wasn't even there. "What the hell?!" Kiba yelled looking around for Ralts and then turned towards Naruto, "Hey where the hell is your Pokémon?!"
"Saber use Ice Punch," Naruto muttered looking up at the sky. Kiba and the people in the crowd looked up to see Saber falling towards the ground with a fist encased in an icy blue aura before said fist crashed into Electrike's skull. Not at full force of course as that might result in brain trauma, so Saber used just enough strength to KO the electric type Pokémon. "Electrike is unable to battle. The winner of the match is Ralts therefore Naruto Uzumaki is the winner!" the referee called out as the crowd cheered.
Naruto gave his Ralts a fist bump before setting the blue haired psychic type on his shoulder. The two gave a small smile and wave to the crowd as they walked back to the stands to join the girls and watch the next few matches in peace.
"That was pretty impressive," Mina complimented as Naruto joined her and sat in between her daughter and Millis. Naruto had the decency to blush as Ralts grinned in amusement at the praise and held his head up high.
"I'll say I didn't know Saber could move like that," Roxanne said.
"Well during the-"
"Hey punk!" Kiba Inuzuka yelled as he stomped up to the seated Naruto. Behind him were two more kids around his age, one was a boy in a large white coat that rose up to his mouth with the only thing being able to be seen is a pair of black shades and spiky black hair. The other was a female in a large vanilla colored jacket that was zipped down the middle, she had purple hair cut into a hime style and a pair of lavender colored eyes. "I got a bone to pick with you!"
Naruto scratched the back of his head, "What exactly did I do to you?" he asked as he really didn't know if Kiba was just sore about losing or if Naruto had done something to him in the past.
"You cheated! There was no way your Ralts could have dodged that attack!"
"Yes there was," Mina whispered as she drew attention to herself, "When that cloud of dust was kicked up Ralts used Double Team didn't he?" she asked as a grin split Naruto's face and a second copy of Saber appeared on his shoulder before a third one appeared on his head.
"Down to the T Mina-san," He said only to get whacked upside the head by a folded up paper fun. Mina gave him a kind smile while an aura of promised pain radiated around her, "Now now Naruto-chan call me Mina-chan, Mina-san makes me feel old. And you wouldn't like me when I'm feeling old."
"H-hai Mina-chan," Naruto said with a light tremble as he hid behind Roxanne while Saber snickered in response.
"Whatever I still say that should have been my win not yours," the feral teen growled as he reared his fist back and was about to punch Naruto in the face to teach him a lesson, only to be stopped by the boy in the white coat grabbing his elbow. "What the hell Shino let go!" he yelled and tried to pull his arm free while Shino didn't seem to be struggling whatsoever.
"I tried to tell you Kiba you lost fair and square, and if I hadn't stopped you this could have turned out much worse," Shino explained as he pointed to the ground in front of Naruto's feet. Kiba looked at the spot Shino was pointing to see a Mudkip with an orb of water right in front of her mouth and said Pokémon looked ready to fire the orb of water off without a second thought. Shino continued with a slight bow, "I'm sorry if Kiba has caused you any trouble."
Naruto simply waved it off, "No need to be sorry, he wasn't very much trouble at all," he said with a small smile and turned back towards the battle. It was interesting how the redhead was able to sound so friendly, but so insulting at the exact same time. Shino dragged his travel companion away by the hood while silently being followed by his other traveling companion. If anybody had noticed Kiba had still been glaring at Naruto, but he also noticed the two females sitting next to him and gained a lustful gleam in his eye. He was a teenager after all.
-A little while later-
"Mimi use Water Pulse!" Mudkip fired a large sphere of water at an incoming Zigzagoon, said water attack encased the Zigzagoon in a large bubble and exploded a moment later with the normal type still inside.
"Zigzagoon no!" his trainer called out as his Pokémon rolled out in front of him with swirls in its eyes. The referee held up his green flag, "Zigzagoon is unable to battle the winner of the match is Naruto," the referee called out as the crowd cheered once again as Mimi climbed onto her trainer's head.
"Nice job Mimi," the redhead said as he scratched Mimi behind the dorsal fin and walked back up to the stands to rejoin the three females. Mimi called out her own name as she hopped into his lap and curled up into a little ball. Naruto laughed at the water type starter before turning his attention back onto the battlefield.
"In the green corner from Fallarbor Town is Zinnia and in the red corner from Slateport City is Jump," the ref said as two trainers stepped onto the field, in the red corner was a somewhat tanned boy with braids and wearing a white beanie with a cocky smirk on his face (The kid from Pokémon Advanced Battle with the Electabuzz that battled Morrison) . In the green corner was a tanned girl with red eyes and black hair done into a ponytail with two bangs framing the side of her face. She had a short pair of shorts on with a red string as a belt and a wore a black shirt that had two red circles around her chest. "Now begin!"
"Go Elekid!" Jump called out as a small yellow and black bipedal Pokémon appeared on the field. It's head look like an electrical plug, Elekid twirled his arms around as electricity started to build from in between its horns (?).
"Let's do it Goomy," Zinnia said as a small slug like Pokémon popped out the Pokéball. It's bottom half was a light purple while it's top was a milky white the two halves are separated by a squiggly, dark line decorated with five green dots. It has beady eyes, and it has two rows of two horn-like structures on top of its head.
Jump smiled, "That thing looks pretty weak."
"Well Goomy is called the weakest Dragon Type Pokémon," Zinnia said before Goomy opened her mouth and launched a bluish purple stream of fire at the surprised pre evolution of Electabuzz.. "However it's not very smart to underestimate her."
"Elekid use Protect!" A green barrier appeared around the Electric type Pokémon and blocked the incoming attack with a little difficulty. Jump continued, "Elekid get in close and use Brick Break!"
"Bee!" Elekid roared as he ran at an impressive speed for a Pokémon his size before leaping into the air and bringing down a glowing white arm on top of Goomy's head or would have if the attack didn't slip off and slam into the spot right next to the Dragon Type Pokémon.
"What the heck?!"
"Sorry but physical type moves will only slip off my little Goomy. You're welcome to try but in the meantime Goomy use Dragonbreath!" Zinnia said as Elekid was hit with a point blank Dragonbreath, the little electric Pokémon was sent back to the feet of his trainer. When Elekid stood up on both feet he fell back down to one knee and could barely move.
Naruto eyes widened, "I forgot that Dragonbreath could cause paralysis."
"I'm more surprised that Goomy can't be hit by physical type moves," Roxanne said as Zinnia's Goomy shrugged off another physical attack and hit Elekid with a Water Pulse at close range.
Millis raised her glasses a bit, "They can be it's just that Goomy are covered in a special slime that literary makes physical attacks do little or nothing against it because they just slide off," she said only to get a blank stare from Naruto, "Don't look at me like that Goomy are native to the Kalos region."
"Elekid use Thundershock!" Jump ordered as his Elekid began ramping up electricity before directing it towards Goomy.
The dragon Pokémon sighed before her trainer asked her to use Dragonbreath in response. Goomy loved her trainer dearly despite the two having almost opposite personalities, but this mission she was on might not be the best idea for someone so young to take on. Zinnia should be a normal teen, she should have a crush on a boy and be too shy to tell him her feelings, but all that matters to her right now is this mission and the more personal one she had recently dedicated herself too. Goomy launched a stronger Dragonbreath that engulfed the Thundershock and overwhelmed Elekid and KO'ed it with little difficulty.
"Elekid is unable to battle, Goomy is the winner therefore Zinnia is the winner!" the referee said as Zinnia moved on to the semifinals and began walking off the arena only to stop about halfway. The tanned female turned to the audience or more specifically to where Naruto was sitting, said redhead looked from side to side trying to see who she was staring at only to notice that she was staring directly at him. She giggled to herself before waving at him and leaving the field.
"Looks like Zinnia will be one tough opponent," Mina said before she saw her daughter's somewhat irritated expression, "And apparently in more ways than one."
"Will the next contestants please step onto the field."
-The Next Round about 45 minutes later-
"The first Semifinal round shall now begin in the red corner is Naruto Uzumaki from Lilycolve Cityand in the green corner is Zinnia from Fallarbor Town. Now Begin!"
"Mimi come on out!" the Mudkip came out with a cry of her name.
"Let's do it Bagon!" a small blue Pokémon that had a snout, slit eyes, and a yellow lower jaw with two teeth protruding upwards. Three thick, gray ridges cover the top of its head, and continue downwards to cover its neck as well. It had stubby arms and short legs.
Naruto held put his Pokédex which said, "Bagon The Rock Head Pokémon: Bagon harbors a never-ending dream of one day soaring high among the clouds. As if trying to dispel its frustration over its inability to fly, this Pokémon slams its hard head against huge rocks and shatters them into pebbles."
"Mimi use Water Gun."
"Bagon use Dragonbreath!" The water type attack met in the middle of the field with the blue dragon type attack. The two attack clashed before they cancelled each out before the two Pokémon clashed in the middle with Tackle and Headbutt respectively. "Bagon use Ember!" Bagon's mouth started to light up with signifying a fire type move.
"Too slow, Mimi use Water Pulse!" Naruto said as Mimi quickly blasted Bagon away with the orb of water and since the burst was at point blank range Mimi was also sent back to her trainer's feet while Bagon did the same.
Zinnia gave a slightly feral smile, "You're not half bad, you're already doing better than the other trainers I've recently battled."
"Thank you for the compliment Zinnia," Naruto said with his own slightly feral smile, "You're a pretty good battler yourself."
"Aw stop you're making me blush," she said as she actually blushed a little bit.
"Hey are you two going to battle or are flirt?!"
Naruto and Zinnia turned towards the member of the audience who said that, "Shut up!"
"Mimi use Mud-Slap," Mudkip tried to blind Bagon with a glob of mud only for the Bagon to jump to the side and dodge the attack. Zinnia ordered Bagon to use Dragonbreath, but then that was intercepted by Mimi's Water Pulse.
"Bagon use Ember!" the hardheaded Pokémon launched a quick storm of embers that Mimi managed to dodge before Bagon took advantage and scored a direct hit with a Headbutt attack that sent her almost off the field.
'If this keeps up we'll never finish this battle,' he thought before a wicked idea appeared in his mind. Mimi looked back at Naruto and saw the gleam in his eye that could only spell disaster for the opponent.
"Bagon use Headbutt!" Zinnia said as Bagon charged Mimi and managed to make contact with it, "All right!" she said until she noticed that Mimi wasn't sent flying by the attack.
"Mimi toss it in the air!" Naruto said as Mimi tucked her head under Bagon's jaw and tossed the Dragon type Pokémon very high up into the air, said dragon type tried to flap his arms in an attempt to fly. As we all know Bagon cannot fly so he began falling downward to the ground head first and Bagon's not known as the Rock Head Pokémon for nothing, he could survive this drop and shake it off like nothing even happened. But unfortunately for Bagon Mimi wasn't going to just wait around for him recover. "Use Water Pulse then follow it up with Water Gun!" Bagon found himself hit trapped within a large sphere of water. The sphere exploded sending Bagon flying before a stream of pressurized water slammed into his stomach. He fell back onto the battlefield at Zinnia's feet with swirls in eyes a soft cry of his name.
"Bagon is unable to battle, the winner of the semifinals match is Mimi and Naruto!" the referee called out as the crowd cheered happily and with excitement. Millis and Roxanne cheered the loudest while Roxanne's mother clapped her hands.
"Alright!" Naruto said with a fist pump as his Mudkip hopped into his arms with a cry of her own name and licked his cheek. Zinnia sighed before she picked up her Bagon and cradled him in her arms like a baby, "Get some rest Bagon you did really well," she said before returning him to her Pokéball. She looked towards Naruto and inwardly smirked, 'I'm glad that Naruto isn't a weakling, it makes things so much easier.' The two trainers walked to the middle of the field and shook hands before they got off the field for the second half of the semifinals.
Naruto returned the stands with Mudkip on top of his head and sat between Millis and Roxanne before the Cherish ball in his bag began shaking. Kris peeked her head out of Naruto's bag and hopped into his lap with a cheer of her name only to be quickly put back in the bag.
Naruto put the bag on his legs and held it close to him before he whispered, "Sorry Kris but I don't want anybody to know about you just yet, people might start coming after me to get to you and I don't want to have to worry about that just yet."
"Diancie," Kris said with an understanding nod before she peeked her eyes out of the bag and watched the second of the semifinals started. The two trainers were somewhat cocky and they were pretty decent but they couldn't hold a candle to hers, the black haired one kind of rubbed her the wrong way. Since she was a fairy type she could somewhat feel of the mood of people around her and at this moment all she could feel was malice and an air of superiority from the black haired boy, but lucky for Kris her trainer's aura overpowered the aura of malice.
The match ended with the black haired boy's Deino savagely beating his opponent's Slakoth after the battle was over. The referee stepped finally having enough of this, "That's enough! The battle was already over and you've already won!" the referee said as the Dark/ Dragon type Pokémon retreated back to the black haired boy's side. Deino being a violent Pokémon was expected to be well violent, but this Deino was more violent than their final forms Hydregion and its trainer didn't seem to care in the slightest.
Mina scowled at the trainer as he stepped off the field with a self-entitled swagger, while her daughter outright growled at the boy. It took her a moment to remember that this was the child that Roxanne's Pupitar dealt with and then complained about it when he lost.
The jewel Pokémon looked up at her trainer and wasn't surprised to see that he was glaring at the black haired with an unbridled amount of fury in his eyes. Naruto loved Pokémon, but that didn't mean he automatically liked their trainers. At a very early age he had found that not all Pokémon trainers were good people, some oeiole liked to pick on younger trainers. Case in point when Minato tried to pick on Naruto when they were younger, the blonde wound up getting a taste of Vix's and Kurama's fire.
"This guy's going down," Naruto muttered as he returned the sleeping Mimi to her Pokéball.
Roxanne grabbed his shoulder and turned him to face her, "Naruto be careful, he's a pretty decent trainer, but not anything you can't handle. But if you underestimate him you will lose," she warned waving a finger in front of his face.
-The Final Round-
"In the red corner from Lilycolve City is Naruto Uzumaki and in the green corner from Mauville City is Sasuke Uchiha. Let the final round of the Junior Tournament begin!" the referee said as the two trainers tossed their Pokéballs.
"Saber help me out!" the shiny Feeling Pokémon appeared on the field with a quick cry of his name.
"Deino!" a small blue four legged Pokémon with black fur over his eyes that pointed up into a large spike, its entire body was covered in bruises, but this was normal for the irate dragon type Pokémon.
Naruto's Pokédex went off and spoke in a feminine tone, "Deino the Irate Pokémon: They cannot see, so they tackle and bite to learn about their surroundings. Their bodies are covered in wounds because of their tendency to bite and tackle anything that moves."
Sasuke was the first to call out a move, "Deino use Dragonbreath!" he ordered as the Dark/ Dragon type hybrid launched a blue and purple stream of fire at the feeling Pokémon. Naruto crossed his arms, an action that was mirrored by his Ralts. The Dragonbreath struck with intensity and engulfed the shiny Pokémon with ease. Sasuke laughed at the redhead trainer doing nothing, "What's the matter? Are you too scared to fight back?"
Naruto uncrossed his arms and cracked his knuckles, "Saber use Teleport and then Ice Punch," he ordered as Saber teleported out of the way of the Dragonbreath and reappeared right next to Deino and smashed a super effective ice type move in the jaw of the blind Dragon type. Saber smirked as Deino growled at him while his trainer did the same. "You do know that Saber is also a Fairy type Pokémon, right?"
The black haired boy growled as his Deino shook off the blow to his face, "Deino use Dark Pulse!"
"Saber dodge and use Thunderpunch!"
Deino's mouth filled with dark energy as Saber's fist glowed a bright yellow and began to emit a cracking sound. The dark type fired an assortment of dark purple and black colored rings from nearly point blank range, but the space in between the two basix stage Pokémon was far enough that Saber was able to get out the way of the Dark Pulse while only getting away with a knick.
"Ralts!" Saber said as he sent his fist into the jaw of Deino sending the Dragon type to the ground with ease.
Sasuke's fist clenched,"Deino kick some sand into that Pokémon's eyes and then launch him into the air with Headbutt!" he said as Deino quickly blinded Saber. Saber tried to rub the sand out of his eyes before he found himself hit with a headbutt and a moment later he was in the air. "Now use Incinerate!"
"Teleport!" Naruto said as Saber quickly vanished and reappeared on the field before he was engulfed in a torrent of flames. For the next few moments Saber dodged torrent after torrent of flames from the Irate Pokémon until its trainer decided to change plans and ordered him to use Dragonbreath again.
Naruto eyes widened, "Saber dodge it!" he ordered, but Saber couldn't hear him over the crowd. He stood his ground and wasn't affected by the dragon type attack, but he was affected by Deino biting his arm with a mouth full of flames showing that the Dark/Dragon type Pokémon knew Fire Fang. Deino used the Dragonbreath as a distraction while the dragon type ran behind the attack while at the same time filling his mouth with fire. Saber cried out in pain as Deino bit his arm with a maul of full of fire before slamming him on the ground.
"Deino use Headbutt!" the black haired teen ordered as Deino ran in to deliver another headbutt attack. But this time Naruto and Saber were ready for the attack. "Saber use Double Team and then Teleport," with a nod the dual type Psychic and Fairy type Pokémon multiplied into four copies before all four them teleported out the way of Deino's attack. For the next few minutes Saber and all his copies dodged Deino's attacks
"Disarming Voice," Naruto whispered. Saber tilted his head back before he unleashed a pink sound wave of energy that had odd heart shapes right in front of Deino's face. The dark/ dragon type Pokémon fainted almost instantly fainted from the four times effective move.
"Ralts is the winner therefore Naruto is the winner of the match! Your winner of the Junior Tournament is Naruto Uzumaki from Lilycolve City!" the referee called out before the crowd let out a deafening roar of cheers. Saber ran up to Naruto's sided before his trainer picked him up and sat him on his shoulder, the two males raised their hands in the air and waved to the crowd. In the stands Millis and Roxanne were cheering for the redhead only for them to stop when they locked eyes, blue eyes met red eyes and both of them narrowed just a bit before the owners smiled at one another with large grins adorning their faces.
A few minutes later Naruto was standing in the middle of the arena next to Sasuke and Zinnia. The referee presented Naruto with the prize which was a small collection of prototype Pokéballs and an entrance into the next tournament which would be held in Lavaridge Town. Sasuke scowled at Naruto before he walked off the stage swearing revenge while the dragon type user just smirked waving to Naruto, "I'll see you later Red," she said as she swayed her hips just a bit getting the redhead to stare. A stare which was noticed by Roxanne and Millis noticed, Roxanne puffed out her cheeks while Millis looked somewhat ticked off.
The next day in front of the entrance of Rustboro City stood Naruto and Millis while Roxanne and Mina saw them off turns out Mr. Briney owned a ship that could transport them to Dewford Island where the next gym badge was located. Roxanne looked to be sad at her friend leaving before she walked up to Naruto, "U-um I guess I'll see you later Naruto," she said before Naruto grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug causing the brunette to blush.
"It was nice to see you again after all these years," Naruto said, "I'll come back to see you again and I'll even help you with the kids," he said completely oblivious to meaning behind his words. Mina's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates while Millis jaw dropped and Roxanne's blush increase to a full scale body blush. Naruto let go of Roxanne and left with a still shocked Millis.
Mina slowly turned towards Roxanne with an air of death and excitement around her, death at Roxanne losing her innocence and excitement at having grandchildren, "Roxanne is there something you want to tell me?!"
"M-mother I don't know what he's talking about!" she yelled back. What Naruto was trying to say was that he would help her with the school children she taught at Trainer's School, he had grown kinda close to the kids and would enjoy helping the rock type specialist teaching the future generation of trainers.
Millis caught up with the redhead and promptly wacked him upside the head, "Baka! Your too young to have kids," she said only to get a curios look from Naruto.
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked, "I wanted to help with kids teach the kids from the Trainer School become better trainer," he explained getting a understanding nod from Millis, "What do you think I meant?"
"Nothing!" Millis said before she quickly ran off getting the redhead to run after her all the while trying to figure out what Millis was trying to say.
-A few hours later-
The blue eyed duo arrived at Mr. Briney's home after an interesting run through the forest. Saber had found and beaten the Breloom that had beaten him the last time he went into the forest and promptly kicked ass and took many names, but after the Breloom was beaten the surrounding Shroomish became enraged and ran them out of the forest.
When they finally made it to Mr. Briney's house the old sailor was already waiting for them with Peeko on his shoulder. As soon as the Wingull spotted the pair it flew over to Millis's shoulder and nuzzled her face. Millis chuckled, "It's nice to see you to Peeko. Naruto did you remember the package from Mr. Stone?" In response Naruto held up the white sealed envelope they had obtained from Mr. Stone right after the tournament had ended.
"Are you whippersnappers ready to go?" the sailor asked getting an eager nod from the two, "Then let's head off to Dewford Island!" he said fist pumping in the air, but before they could get on the motor powered boat a voice called out.
"Wait up!" a familiar voice called out. When Naruto and Millis turned the source of the voice. The owner of the voice was none other than Sapphire, the brunette was running towards them with an evolved Chic running net to her. The once little orange and yellow fire starter was now a bipedal more combat suited chicken like Pokémon. Its legs had become longer and sharper while it actually had arms covered in yellow feathers with three sharp claws on each hand.
"Sapphire!" Naruto said surprisingly as the daughter of the professor finally caught up to the blue eyed pair.
Sapphire panted and just gave him a tired smile, "What's…up…Naruto ," she said with a pant in between each word.
"What happened, I thought you were going to compete in Junior Tournament," he said while Millis huffed and left the two to catch up while Mr. Briney just mumbled about young love which got him a rather nasty stomp to his foot by the spectacled treasure hunter.
Sapphire's gaze went from nice to angry in under a second, "There were some strange Pokémon going crazy right before the tournament started, they were a lot stronger than normal Pokémon their size, I mean there Nincada's that evolved into Ninjasks and Shedinjas that beat anyone that went near the collapsed cave. It was actually because of them that Chic evolved into a Combusken." She said the Young Fowl puffed up her chest in pride, it was a hard fought battle but those bug type Pokémon were no match for the second stage fire type starter. "I heard from the gym leader that Mr. Briney was taking you and your friend to Dewford Island, so since I don't have a way to get there I thought I would try to catch up to you two."
"Well I think Millis and I wouldn't mind if you came with us, right Millis?"
"Whatever."
"See she doesn't mind," Naruto stated with a wide grin before the two joined Millis on the boat.
-In an unknown location-
"Kurama use Inferno!" a seventeen year old Kushina said as her platinum colored Ninetails fired a spiral flame at a black and grey dog like Pokémon that had two horns on top of its head.
"Houndoom use Flamethrower," the owner of the Houndoom said with no emotion in her voice as the dark and fire type hybrid countered with its own flames causing the two to clash. "Join Team Magma Kushina."
"Screw that dattebane!" the redhead yelled before Kurama and Houndoom to clash in the middle of the field with a Headbutt.
The owner of the Houndoom smiled which sent a shiver down Kushina's spine, "You have a brother don't you Kushina…Naruto right?" the Magma admin let out a small smile, "Aha I think it would be interesting to experiment with him, he is pretty cute."
Kushina growled, "Leave my little brother out of this!"
"Aha no."
"Has anyone ever told you that you're a bitch?"
"Aha twenty seven times."

Thank you for reading the fourth chapter of the Whirlpool Trainer and I'll see you in a little while
