Teddy Vanderaa: I did not plan on it as I find it really cliché.
Shadespace: I'm thinking of a Joltik, that way he gets a bug/electric type.

Tayuya sighed as she appeared in the familiar underground cavern of Team Sound's main base. She hated traveling by Teleport but it was necessary as there was no doorway leading into the base. After traveling from Kanra she used another Abra to teleport here. "Ma'am." One of the grunts said as he spotted her and saluted, causing the others to all stop what they were doing and salute.
"Get back to work fuckers!" She yelled at them as she made her way towards the main hallway. Pushing open the doors she walked down the metal lined hallway, not stopping as other grunts and scientist saluted her. After a few minutes of walking she came to a metal door with a keypad on it, typing in the code she entered and slammed the door shut.
"Ah Tayuya, welcome back." She turned and saw Kabuto looking up from a computer screen. He was of average height, 5'10" with ash grey hair pulled back in a ponytail and black rimmed round glasses. He was wearing a purple turtle neck under a white lab coat and black slacks. "Were you successful in your mission?"
She slung the backpack off her back and at the man. "Got three stones before I got discovered and decided to get out of there."
"The miners give you trouble?" Kabuto asked as he opened the bag and pulled out one of the stones. "Or perhaps it was a trainer?"
"Psh." She replied as she crossed her arms. "The miners were a joke and the only trainers I saw were some little cock suckers who tried to stop me."
Kabuto frowned. "To bad you didn't take their Pokémon." He pulled the last two stones out and set all three on a table behind him. "What did these trainers look like?" He asked curiously. They had been getting reports recently of more foul ups because of trainers and he wanted to be sure it wasn't a counter group.
"There were two, one was blonde with spikey hair wearing some God awful orange jacket." She replied. "The other had black hair that spiked in the back and wore a black tee with blue shorts."
"An orange jacket you say?" Tayuya jumped and spun around at the new voice. Appearing out of the shadows was a tall pale man with long straight black hair, his face had sharp features and his eyes were an unnatural yellow. He was wearing a similar outfit as Kabuto except he didn't wear glasses.
"Orochimaru-sama." Tayuya said as she dropped to a knee.
"Tell me Tayuya." Orochimaru pulled out a black phone and flipped it open. "Is this the boy?" He spun the phone to show Tayuya a picture of a grinning Naruto.
"Yeah." She replied, though her mind was racing as she tried to figure out why Orochimaru had a picture of the boy and if she fucked up in attacking him.
Orochimaru let out a chuckle. "Wonderful, thank you Tayuya." He closed the phone. "You may leave." The redhead didn't need to be told twice and quickly made her way out of the room.
"So it was Naruto-kun again." Kabuto said as the door closed.
"It seems my godson is starting to become a thorn in my side." Orochimaru said as he turned and walked towards a back door that lead to his private room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx Namikaze Home, Konoha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You have a lovely home Mrs. Namikaze." Kurotsuchi said as they finished a quick tour of the house.
"Thank you Kurotsuchi." Kushina smiled at the girl. After grilling Naruto and Minato, making Kurotsuchi see why Naruto seemed so scared of the woman, Kushina wanted to give her a tour of the house and show her where she would be sleeping. "Are you two done yet?" She called out to Minato and Naruto who were now doing Kushina's gardening, of their own free will of course.
"We'll be done in a minute dear." Minato replied as he planted the last flower in it's place.
"Kaa-san I'm home!" Mito yelled as she kicked the door open and ran into the kitchen.
"Nido!" Ōjo chirped as she ran alongside the girl. Both stopped in their tracks and stared up at Kurotsuchi when they entered the room.
"Who are you?" Mito asked as she looked up at the girl.
"Mito, manners." Kushina scolded her daughter.
Kurotsuchi chuckled at the little girl. "My name is Kurotsuchi and I'm a friend of your brother." Mito perked up at that.
"Is Onii-chan home?" Mito whipped her head to her mother.
"Out back with your father." The words barley left her mouth before Mito was off like a rocket. Throwing open the door she looked around and spotted Naruto as he stood up from the flower bed.
"ONII-CHAN!" Mito yelled as she collided with Naruto.
"Gah!" The blonde yelled as he fell onto the ground.
"Welcome home!"' Mito grinned from on top of his chest.
"It's good to see you too Mito." Naruto replied. "Now get off my chest so I can breathe." Mito giggled and quickly jumped off.
"Nido nido." Ōjo said from his side as he hopped around him.
"Ah you want to see your brother too." Naruto smiled at her and pulled out Enperā's Pokéball and released the Poison Type Pokémon.
"Ran?" Enperā said as he appeared and looked around.
"Ran!" Similar to what happened to Naruto, Enperā found himself tackled by his sister. "Nido Nidoran!" She cried as she nuzzled him.
"Onii-chan I want to meet all your other Pokémon!" Mito begged as she pulled on his pant leg. Naruto chuckled and pulled his Pokeballs out, tossing them as he did.
"Come meet the family everyone." Naruto called out. Mito let out a gasp and smiled as all Naruto's Pokémon appeared. "Mito you already know Kyūryū and Enperā, this is Honō, that's Tsunami in the pool, Skiddo and finally Hikari." The Pokémon all called out as Naruto pointed to them.
"Sooo cool!" Mito said with stars in her eyes as she ran and petted all the Pokémon. "Onii-chan your Pokémon are awesome!"
"Where on earth did you get a Solrock?" Minato asked as he walked into the backyard.
"We found him in Black Mountain." Naruto said as he walked over to Hikari and patted the Pokémon's head.
"Growl!" Honō barked as he ran over to Kushina and Minato, sniffing them as he circled them. "Lithe lithe!"
"Well hello to you too." Kushina said as she bent down and pet him.
"Do?" Skiddo said as she hopped over to Mito, who was more than happy to pet the Grass Type.
"Okay enough fun for right now!" Kushina called out. "Naruto, Minato you to go shower while I start dinner, Tsunade and Jiraiya will be here soon." They both nodded and headed towards the house. "Mito you go start your homework."
"Awwwwwwww." Mito groaned out.
Kurotsuchi chuckled. "If you want I can help you." Mito grinned and grabbed hold of Kurotsuchi's hand.
"You better not trick her into doing your homework young lady." Kushina smirked when she saw Mito pause and cringe before continuing into the house.
Naruto let out a sigh as he got out of the shower and walked into his room, even though it hadn't been that long he felt like he hadn't been there in ages. Grabbing some fresh clothes he made his way down the stairs, walking into the living room he was suddenly put in a headlock from behind. "I'm so proud of you Naruto!" Jiraiya said with a large grin. "Gone a month and you already found yourself a cutie."
Naruto blushed and quickly looked around to ensure no one was around. "Shut up Ero-jiji." Naruto threw his elbow back and caught the man in the gut.
"Uglk!" Jiraiya grunted but never lost his smirk. "Ah to be young and in love."
"Baa-chan, Jiji is trying to get my input on his newest book!" Naruto called out with a grin of his own.
"WHAT!" They heard Tsunade and Kushina yell.
"…well played Naruto." Jiraiya said as he turned and ran down the hall to escape the wrath of the Namikaze females.
Tsunade stormed into the room. "Where is he?"
"False alarm Baa-chan." Naruto said with a grin. "But he can stew in his fear for a bit." Naruto chuckled as he walked into the kitchen.
Kurotsuchi was enjoying the visit, while she loved her family and wouldn't ever give them up they weren't as amusing as Naruto's. From Jiraiya's perverse commits to Kushina's threats of violence she couldn't remember laughing so much during a meal.
"So where are you two heading after here?" Jiraiya asked as Kushina began clearing the table.
"Back to Kusa." Naruto replied.
"Good." Tsunade said. "You know Orochimaru was upset you didn't stop and say hi."
Naruto turned and blinked at her. "I was in the hospital."
"When has that ever stopped you from doing something?" Tsunade asked with a smirk.
"How's the training going?" Jiraiya asked to change the subject. "I see Kyūryū has evolved, how close are the others?"
"Enperā should be close, just needs that final push." Naruto said as he scratched his head. "Tsunami still needs a lot of work, I don't think he'll really get close until I can find some more Magikarp for him to fight and gain some confidence."
"What about you're Skiddo?" Kushina asked from the kitchen.
Naruto sighed. "She doesn't like to listen much so we'll have to see after we get to know each other better." Kurotsuchi giggled.
"You mean she doesn't listen to you." The teen girl replied. "She would listen to me just fine."
"So Enperā needs a push huh?" Jiraiya said as he looked out the window at all the Pokémon. "I bet me and Jōkā could give him the push he needs." Naruto sat up straight.
"But you're way out of our league." Naruto replied with a frown. It's not that he didn't appreciate the offer but he didn't want his Pokémon to get hurt.
Jiraiya chuckled. "Of course you are." Naruto glared at him. "But we will play defensive, use some low powered moves to aggravate him and bam!" Jiraiya slapped the table. "Nidorino."
"What type of Pokémon is Jōkā?" Kurotsuchi was curious why he choose that one to help. Instead of telling her, Jiraiya grinned and reached into his shirt, pulling out a Pokéball and tossing it towards the living room.
"Gen!" The Pokémon that appeared was a dark purple, bipedal Pokémon with a roundish body. It had red eyes and a wide mouth that was curled into a sinister grin and multiple spikes covered its back. Its arms and legs are short with three digits on both its hands and feet and it had a stubby tail.
Naruto grinned and pulled out his Pokédex, aiming it at the Pokémon.
Gengar the Shadow Pokémon
Hiding in people's shadows at night, it absorbs their heat. The chill it causes makes the victims shake.
This Pokémon is male and registered to Jiraiya Namikaze of Konoha.
"Gengar!" Jōkā yelled as he floated up to Naruto and clung to the boy's chest.
"Hey Jōkā how are you buddy?" Naruto asked with a large grin that matched the Pokémon's.
"Gen gen gar." Jōkā replied the turned when he spotted Kurotsuchi. "Gengar?" He floated into the air and looked at her upside down.
"Um…hello Jōkā." She said with a bit of a blush at the closeness of the Pokémon.
Jōkā stared at her for a few seconds. "GEN!" He suddenly yelled, making Kurotsuchi jump slightly and let out a squeak. "Gen gen gen gen gen!" The Pokémon laughed as he floated back towards Jiraiya.
"As you can see he's always had a mischievous side." Jiraiya said.
"Which caused him and Naruto to get along great." Tsunade muttered.
Kurotsuchi glared at the Pokémon as he floated over to Mito and started messing with the young girl's hair, despite her protests. She did get why now though, Gengars were poison/ghost types, making most of Enperā's attacks less affective, even if they were near the same level.
"So what do you say Naruto?" Jiraiya asked as he leaned back with his arms behind his head, Kurotsuchi noticed a teasing look on the man's face but there was a bit of a challenge in his eyes.
Naruto smirked and stood up from the table. "Let's go old man."
"Hey who you calling old?" Jiraiya called out as Naruto made his way towards the back door. "Jōkā." The Pokémon turned and looked at his master. "Were going to take it easy on them, aggravate his Pokémon but don't use full strength if I tell you to attack alright?"
Jōkā looked at him confused at the orders but nodded. "Gengar."
Jiraiya nodded and then headed out side with the rest of the family, Naruto was kneeling down and talking to Enperā as they stepped outside.
"Minato why don't you ref this?" Jiraiya called out, Minato nodded and walked over to the side of the yard. "Alright this is a one on one battle." Minato looked over to his father. "Tou-san you ready?" Jiraiya nodded.
"Gengar!" Jōkā cheered as he hopped over to the battle field.
"Naruto?" Minato looked at his son.
"Come on Enperā." Naruto said with a nod.
"Nido!" Enperā called out as he ran into place.
"Ready…begin!" Minato yelled.
"Enperā Peck." Naruto ordered, it was one of the only moves that would work on ghost types.
"Jōkā dodge and use Mean Look!" Jiraiya called out. Jōkā easily leapt to the side as Enperā charged him.
"Gar!" Jōkā's eyes flared with power as Enperā turned around, making him step back some but not hurting him.
"Try again Enperā!" Naruto yelled.
"Ran!" Enperā cried as he ran forward again but Jōkā dodged easily at the last second. "Nido." Enperā skidded to a halt and turned to attack again but Jōkā floated over him as he tried, poking the Poison Pin Pokémon as he did.
"Use Leer Enperā!" Naruto cried out, he knew it was pointless but he knew it would help Enperā in the long run.
"Nido!" Enperā said as his eyes flared at Jōkā, but the Pokémon had closed his eyes and continued to float in the air.
"Hit it with Peck now!" Naruto quickly ordered hoping to score a hit.
Jiraiya smirked. "Sucker Punch Jōkā."
Jōkā's fist glowed with power as he reared it back, dodging Enperā as he did, and delivered a hit to Enpera's side. "Nidoran!" Enperā cried as he rolled across the ground, while Jōkā had help back he was still far stronger than Enperā.
"You okay Enperā?" Naruto asked as his Pokémon stood shakily.
"Ran." Enperā replied with a nod, then turned and glared at Jōkā. "Nido!" He yelled as he charged the dual type Pokémon.
"Gengar." Jōkā said as he floated into the air. "Gengar, Gengar, Gengar." He sang as he floated in the air, taunting Enperā.
"Nido, nidoran." Enperā yelled and scratched at the ground.
Jōkā sighed and floated to the ground, acting like it was a chore to keep fighting. It had it's effect as Enperā growled and charged again, his horn glowing with energy but as with every other time Jōkā moved at the last second.
"Come on Enperā I know you can do it!" Naruto yelled.
"Nido!" Ōjo cried out, she was being held by Mito in case she tried to get involved in the fight.
"You can do it Enperā-kun!" Mito yelled along with her friend.
"Show that Gengar who's the best!" Kurotsuchi yelled with a smile.
"Nido." Enperā looked at all of them and then back at Joka. "Nidoran!"
Naruto smiled as Enperā suddenly was covered in white light, it lasted a few seconds and when it was over Enperā had grown in size. "Nidorino!" Enperā roared.
Naruto quickly pulled out his Pokédex and pointed it at Enperā.
Nidorino the Poison Pin Pokémon
An aggressive Pokémon that is quick to attack. The horn on its head secretes a powerful venom.
This Pokémon is male and registered to Naruto Namikaze of Konoha.
"Alright!" Naruto leapt into the air with a fist pump before running over and hugging Enperā around his neck. "This is awesome bud!"
"Nido?" Enperā said confused as his sister, Mito and the others all ran over.
"Return Jōkā, good work." Jiraiya said with a nod to his Pokémon before returning it.
"We used the fight to help you evolve bud." Naruto said as he realized his Pokémon's confusion.
"Nidoran." Enperā said with a nod then looked down to see Ōjo scratching at his leg.
"Ran ran." She chirped, Enperā smirked and leaned down to allow her to jump on his back. "Nido!" Everyone chuckled as Enperā started walking around with Ōjo on his back.

Orochimaru sat in his desk chair looking over some reports when his computer chipped letting him now he had an incoming call. Quickly putting the papers away, just to be sure no one saw what was on them, he answered the call.
"Orochimaru how are you?" Jiraiya asked as he appeared on the screen.
"I'm well Jiraiya." Orochimaru replied with a small nod. "To what do I owe the pleasure of a call?"
"Just seeing how you've been." Jiraiya answered. "Also Naruto is here and he'll be leaving tomorrow, heading your way."
Orochimaru chuckled. "Is it finally time to battle my godson?" Jiraiya grinned at him.
"Yup and you're going to enjoy it I guarantee." Orochimaru cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Oh?" His interest was peeked. "Hopefully he isn't going to be boring and show up with an all fire team."
"Since when has that boy ever been boring?" Jiraiya replied dryly. "And no he's going with a variety team, make sure to see them all." Jiraiya said with another grin. "You'll be impressed."
Orochimaru had to suppress a smirk. "I look forward to it then."
"Good." Jiraiya nodded. "Oh and don't go easy on him."
Orochimaru put his hand on his chest and gave a faked look of shock. "You dare to think I would do such a thing?"
Jiraiya snorted. "If he promised to come back and prank the hell out of all of use then yes I think you would throw him a badge and send him on his way."
Orochimaru let out another chuckle. "Too true." He nodded. "But we both know Naruto wouldn't let that happen."
"Alright well I need to get going." Jiraiya said. "Oh and if you can will you tape the battle so I can watch it later?"
Orochimaru nodded. "Of course, see you later Jiraiya." Shutting off the screen Orochimaru let his evil grin loose, he reached over and pressed a button on an intercom.
"Yes Orochimaru-sama?" Kabuto's voice asked over the device.
"It seems Naruto-kun will be on his way here soon." Orochimaru informed his assistant. "I want you to be ready to see him and learn about his plans for travel."
"Yes sir." Kabuto replied. "May I ask why?"
"Naruto has already caused some problems." Orochimaru answered. "And if he keeps getting involved in our schemes the family will push harder to stop us. If we can avoid him we avoid more problems."
"I see." Kabuto said. "I will get everything we need Orochimaru-sama."
"I have no doubt Kabuto-kun." Orochimaru said as clicked off the intercom.
