Trouble on Mount Moon

Evolution Stones, a rare type of stones that can help some pokemon to evolve.

There are different types of stones, each type of stone matches the power of the pokemon it hold.

These stones are scattered across the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, and some trainers would do anything to get their hands on them.

In the caves of Mount Moon, one of these evolution stones known as the Moon Stones is stored, and is use by Pokemon called Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable for a ritual called the moon dance.

However this dance is rarely seen by humans as the Cleffas Clefairys and Clefables that dwelled in the caves of this mountain, are normally shy around humans and hide from them.

Only lucky few have ever seen the moon dance.

…Story…

Naruto and Hinata made it at Mount Moon.

"So this is Mount Moon," Naruto responded.

"Yeah," Hinata responded and look at a map, "If we go through this mountain, we can reach Cerulean City."

"Cool, hey maybe we'll see some of those pokemon Brock mentioned as well as other cave dwelling Pokemon," Naruto responded.

"It's possible," Hinata responded.

"Alright, then let's go!" Naruto responded.

A man with tan skin, a scar on his nose, his hair tied upward, wearing a grey shirt green vest, black pants and shoes was at Mount Moon.

He was spying on pokemon that seem to have a shark like body, but with arms and legs.

"Why aren't you in your caves," the man thought.

Naruto and Hinata were taking a short break, after spending time walking.

Naruto had Treecko out of it's pokeball as they explored.

They found the shark like pokemon on the way.

Naruto took out his Pokedex.

"Gible: the Land Shark Pokemon. It attacks using its huge mouth. While its attacks are powerful, it hurts itself out of clumsiness too," the Pokedex explained.

"Oh cool," Naruto responded.

"Treecko!" Treecko responded.

Suddenly there was a small blast and the ground shook.

The Gibles ran away from the sound.

"What was that?" Naruto responded.

The ground shook again as one of the Gibles fell.

Naruto rushed to the Gible.

The man was watching as Naruto rushed to the Gible.

"Wait that's…" the man responded.

Naruto kneeled down to Gible.

"Are you alright?" Naruto asked.

"Gible," Gible responded and look to see a human, "Gible…Gible!"

Gible back away from Naruto.

"Hey it's okay, I'm a friend," Naruto responded, "I know!"

Naruto dug through his backpack and took out a fruit.

"See, I'm a friend," Naruto responded.

Gible took the fruit and ran off.

"That's odd," Naruto responded.

"Naruto, is that you?" someone asked.

Naruto turned to see the man standing there.

"Iruka?" Naruto responded, "What are you doing here?"

"I was studying up on some weird activities that been going on here," Iruka responded.

"Naruto!" Hinata shouted running to Naruto.

"Oh hey Hinata," Naruto greeted.

Hinata turned to see Iruka standing there.

"Who are you?" Hinata asked.

"Hinata, this is Iruka Umino, he use to give me tips on battling," Naruto responded.

Naruto and Iruka explained a few things.

"So you use to help Naruto?" Hinata asked.

"Sort of," Iruka responded, "He was doing poorly as a trainer."

"I change since then," Naruto responded and took out the boulder badge, "I even won the boulder badge."

"That's good to hear," Iruka responded, "I'm guessing that since both of you are here, you're heading to Cerulean City."

"Yes, there's a contest going on there that I was hoping to enter, and Naruto wants to challenge the gym," Hinata explained.

"Iruka, you said there were some strange activities going on here, what do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"It's best to show you," Iruka answered.

Iruka took them to a cave that was lighted up with lights.

"This is the reason the cave dwelling pokemon been outside lately," Iruka explained, "To add to it, there been strange blast sounds."

"I heard one earlier," Hinata responded.

"Hey what's that?" Naruto asked.

A pink fairy like pokemon with brown ears along with a smaller version of it that look as if star shape were walking pass the cave, both carrying a stone.

"A Cleffa and Clefairy," Iruka responded, "It's odd to see them out here.

Naruto and Hinata took out their Pokedex.

"Cleffa, the Star Shape Pokemon. It is often seen when shooting stars fill the night skies. It's said to arrive on a shooting star," Hinata's Pokedex explained.

"Clefairy, the Fairy Pokemon and the evolve form of Cleffa. It is said that happiness will come to those who see a gathering of Clefairy dancing under a full moon," Naruto's Pokedex explained.

"So those are Cleffa and Clefairy," Naruto responded, "But what's that they're carrying?"

"Those are Moon Stones," Iruka explained, "They have the power to evolve certain pokemon, and Cleffas and Clefairys use them for their moon dance."

"What is the moon dance?" Hinata asked.

"It's sort of like a ritual Cleffas Clefairys and Clefables goes through on a night of a full moon," Iruka explained, "Tonight is a full moon, so it makes sense that they're out here gathering Moon Stones."

"But why are there lights in the caves?" Naruto asked.

"That's what I'm here to find out," Iruka responded.

"Let us come along," Naruto responded.

"No, its too dangerous," Iruka responded, "You and Hinata either wait here or go on to where you're going."

"But…" Naruto responded.

"NO!" Iruka responded.

Iruka headed in as Naruto and Hinata decided to wait.

"Naruto, what does Iruka do anyways?" Hinata asked.

"He was a Pokemon Trainer when he was our age, but now he does research and investigations any weird events going on," Naruto responded.

Naruto noticed a Gible was running to the cave.

"That Gible," Naruto thought and decided to go after it.

"Naruto, Iruka told us to stay!" Hinata responded.

Naruto responded as he fallowed the Gible, and Hinata decided to fallow.

Team Rocket members were exploring the caves and stayed in hiding.

"Found anything?" one asked.

"No, but they can't be too far," the other responded.

A bigger version of Clefairy was hopping around carrying a Moon Stone.

"Hey that Clefable has one!" one of them shouted.

Clefable turned and saw the members running after it and it ran away.

Team Rocket members chased Clefable to a corner.

"Alright, now give us that moon stone!" the member shouted, "In fact you can come with us while you're at it."

"Clefable," Clefable responded.

Naruto lost Gible again.

"Where that Gible go now?" Naruto responded.

"Naruto we should go back," Hinata responded

"Clefable!" someone shouted.

"What was that?" Naruto responded and ran toward the sound.

"Naruto!" Hinata responded fallowing.

Iruka was looking around.

"Someone was here, and they were looking for something," Iruka responded.

"Clefable!" someone shouted.

"That doesn't sound good," Iruka responded and chased after the sound.

Naruto and Hinata found Team Rocket Members surrounding a Clefable.

Hinata took out her Pokedex to find out about Clefable.

"Clefable: The fairy pokemon, and the evolve form of Clefairy. Clefable is very wary and rarely shows itself to people. its ears can hear a pin drop over half a mile away," the Pokedex explained.

"Naruto we should do something," Hinata responded, "Naruto…"

Naruto was staring at the red R on the uniforms and remember it from Viridian City.

"Those men again," Naruto thought and took out a pokeball, "Treecko come on out!"

Treecko came out of its pokeball.

"Use Bullet Seed!" Naruto shouted.

Treecko fired bullet seeds at Team Rocket.

Team Rocket members heard something and turned just to be hit by bullet seed.

Naruto and Treecko ran in front of Clefable.

"Who is that kid?" one member asked.

"Wait that's the kid that tried to stop us at Viridian City!" the other responded.

"Leave here or else!" Naruto responded.

The members that recognize Naruto laugh.

"Relax guys, this kid is a pathetic weakling," The leader said taking out a pokeball.

Hinata knew Naruto was in trouble.

"Piplup I choose you!" Hinata shouted taking out the pokeball and threw it to the ground.

Piplup popped out of the pokeball.

"Piplup use Water Pulse!" Hinata shouted.

Piplup summoned water pulse and threw it at the men.

Team Rocket heard something and turned just to be hit by Water Pulse.

"Naruto!" Hinata shouted, "Who are these guys?"

"Team Rocket, they tried to steal pokemon at Viridian City a while back," Naruto responded, "I don't know what the deal about them though."

"Step a side kid, we just want the Moon Stone and that Clefable the leader responded.

"No way!" Naruto responded.

"So be it!" the group leader shouted taking out 2 pokeball and threw it shouting, "Go Ariados Golbat!"

A huge Red spider like pokemon with black lines and yellow long legs, along with a bigger version of Zubat with Eyes and feet coming off it's legs came out of it's pokeballs.

"Ariados?" Naruto responded as he and Hinata taking out his Pokedex.

"Ariados, the Long Leg Pokemon. It attaches silk to its prey and set it free. Later, it tracks the silk to the prey and its friends," Hinata's Pokedex explained.

"Golbat, the bat pokemon, and the evolve form of Zubat. Its sharp fangs punctures the toughest of hides and have small holes for greedily sucking blood," Naruto's Pokedex explained.

Iruka arrived and saw the battle.

"Naruto, Hinata what are you doing?" Iruka thought.

"Ariados use night shade!" the leader shouted.

Ariados fired a black energy at Treecko and Piplup.

"Treecko dodge!" Naruto shouted.

"You two Piplup!" Hinata shouted.

Treecko and Piplup jumped to avoid the attack.

"Golbat use Wing Attack on Treecko!" the leader shouted.

Golbat moved in toward Treecko with wing attack.

"Piplup protect Treecko with Bubble!" Hinata shouted.

Piplup fired bubbles at Golbat.

Golbat took direct hit by the bubbles.

"String Shot Ariados!" the leader shouted.

Ariados fired a silk of webbing at Treecko.

"Use Quick Attack to dodge!" Naruto shouted.

Treecko use Quick Attack to avoid String Shot.

"Piplup now use Water Pulse!" Hinata shouted.

Piplup fired another Water Pulse at Ariados and Golbat sending them at the leader.

"Naruto let's go," Hinata responded.

"Ah…alright," Naruto responded, "Clefable you better run too."

"Clefable," Clefable agreed.

Naruto Hinata Treecko Piplup and Clefable ran out of there.

"That was too close," Hinata responded.

"Yeah," Naruto responded.

"But you two did a pretty good job," someone said.

They turned to see Iruka.

"Iruka, um listen…" Naruto responded.

"You're not in trouble," Iruka responded, "I was upset that you disobeyed me, because I was worried for your safety, but after seeing you two battle, I know better."

"Thanks," Naruto responded.

"I'm guessing you want us to wait outside then?" Hinata responded.

"Not now," Iruka responded, "You two are in here, so you might as well help."

"What are we going to do about Clefable?" Naruto asked.

"Protect it, and return it to it's friends," Iruka responded.

"Clefable," Clefable responded.

"Gible!" someone said.

"Huh?" Iruka Naruto and Hinata responded turning to see Gible.

"Hey it's that Gible again," Naruto responded.

Gible walked up to Clefable.

"Gible – Gible – Gib Gible," Gible told Clefable.

"Clefable – Clefable," Clefable responded.

"I think Gible just volunteer itself to help," Iruka explained.

"Gible Gib," Gible responded.

"Great," Naruto responded.

Naruto Hinata Iruka and Gible fallowed Clefable.

Clefable took them to a wide area with a open light coming down.

"Clefable!" Clefable shouted.

Clefairys Cleffas and Clefables gathered in the room.

"So this must be where the moon dance take place," Naruto responded.

"And thank you for showing us here," someone said.

They turned to see Team Rocket's squad leader.

"You guys still won't leave?" Naruto asked.

"We came here for the moon stones and any pokemon we can get!" the leader responded.

"I'll take care of them," Iruka said taking out a pokeball and threw it, "Go Arcanine!"

A large brown and red fur dog like pokemon came out.

"Not this time!" the leader shouted throwing a pokeball shouting, "Go Donphan!"

An armor like pokemon with legs and tusk came out.

"Arcanine use Hidden Power!" Iruka shouted.

Arcanine fired a series of Hidden Power at Donphan.

"Donphan use Defense Curl!" The leader responded.

Donphan curled up and took the hit.

"Now use Rollout!" the leader shouted.

Donphan started spinning right at Arcanine.

"Arcanine use double team!" Iruka shouted

Arcanine use double team to avoid the attack.

"Gyro Ball!" the leader shouted.

Donphan spin rapiding with a light surrounding it as it hit each image until it hit Arcanine.

"Gible Gible," Gible told Naruto.

"What do you want now?" Naruto asked.

"I think Gible wants to fight with you Naruto," Hinata responded..

"Is that true?" Naruto asked.

"Gible," Gible responded.

"Okay, first lets see your moves," Naruto responded taking out his Pokedex.

The Pokedex read Gible.

"Gible's moves Sandstorm, Dig, Dragon Rage, and Dragon Pulse." The Pokedex explained.

"Alright, Gible use Dragon Pulse!" Naruto shouted.

Gible summoned a ball of energy and fired it.

Dragon Pulse hit Donphan directly.

"What!" the leader responded.

"Now use Sandstorm!" Naruto shouted.

Gible summoned a storm of sand that hit Donphan.

"Naruto what are you doing?" Iruka asked.

"Helping you out," Naruto responded.

"Eevee come on out to help too!" Hinata shouted throwing a pokeball.

"Eevee!" Eevee shouted coming out.

"Jump and use Iron Tail!" Hinata shouted.

"Defense Curl!" the leader shouted.

Donphan curled up but Eevee hit Donphan with force.

"Arcanine use Rock Smash!" Iruka shouted.

Arcanine's leg glowed as it slam down on Donphan.

"Fine you win, we'll be back!" the leader shouted returning Donphan and run.

"Alright," Naruto shouted.

"Thanks guys," Iruka responded.

"No problem," Naruto responded.

"Clefable," Clefable responded.

"Huh?" Hinata responded.

"Clefable Clefable Clefable," Clefable responded.

"Clefable is allowing us to stay to see the moon dance as their graditude," Iruka responded.

"Why not," Naruto responded.

Hinata nodded as she agreed.

That night Clefables Clefairys and Cleffas gathered the moon stones they collected and hop around them.

"So this is the moon dance," Naruto responded.

"Yeah," Iruka responded.

A bright light from the moon hit the stones as the Clefairys, Cleffas, and Clefables dance.

"Amazing," Naruto responded.

"Uh huh," Hinata agreed.

The next day Iruka took Naruto and Hinata to the path.

"This path should take you strait to Cerulean City," Iruka explained.

"Are you coming with us?" Naruto asked.

"No, I got to clean up the mess Team Rocket made," Iruka explained, "Oh and Naruto, do you have a case for your gym badges?"

"No, I been keeping them in a pocket," Naruto responded.

"Well here," Iruka responded handing a case, "Think of it as my good luck present."

"Thanks," Naruto responded and opening in.

Inside as 8 slots covered by foam, for 8 badges.

Naruto took out his boulder badge and place it in the first slot.

"Also Hinata good luck in your contest," Iruka said, "You'll need it."

"Thanks," Hinata responded.

Naruto and Hinata headed off.

Little did they know, the Gible that helped them was fallowing.


A/N: Naruto will catch Gible later.

I decided something for the Pokemon Contest. For my own switch up in it, I decided to have it where coordinators can switch between any of the pokemon they register for the contest they entered in for each round. Meaning they don't have to stick to one pokemon for only the Performance Round and One Pokemon for only the battle round. But they can only use the pokemon they were able to register before the contest and they can only re-register a new pokemon before the contest not during a contest.

Also I was thinking of having some locations to have Double round contest, like in the sinnoh league with double performance and double battle rounds. But only to give coordinators a taste of some of the Grand Festival because I was thinking to have 2 performance rounds, first one being a single performance round, then the second being a double performance round before the battle rounds of course.
