"Those young kids" he sighed. "Wish I had as much energy as the pair of them" Turk sighed as he sat down on a cushioned chair in his living room. A loud beeping sound snapped him out of his thoughts, it was the video phone. He got up out of his chair and pushed the answer button on the desktop of the phone an old man in his mid 60's answered the phone.

"Oh hello the Kurt, what can I do you for?" asked Turk.

"Hello there old friend, I was just wondering how your pokeball making business is going?" he asked with a smile.

"Well, it's going great, I gave some pokeballs to an interesting pair of young Pokémon trainers the other day, they'll be great" he said with a fond smile.

"Really? Well I look forward to hearing that your pokeballs actually worked for once" Turk looked down at his feet.

"You keep bringing that up" Kurt laughed at his friends face.

Saffron City

"Saffron City, nice place" said Harrison as he and Naruto overlooked the modern city from a hill.

"Yeah seems nice but we're here to beat the gym" Naruto clenched his fist; Eevee on his shoulder looked over the city in wonder as the wind blew through his silky fur coat.

"Well you know they say this gym is one of the hardest to get a badge from. The gym leader uses physic Pokémon, so I'll use Drowzee, but you don't have any Pokémon that would be a good choice" Naruto smiled and rubbed the side of his nose with his thumb.

"There's more to battling than just type ya know" said Naruto.

Harrison smiled at his friend.

"That there is, knowing your luck you'll probably goof it anyway" Naruto growled as a tick mark appeared on the top of his forehead.

"I won't you'll see, this badge is so mine!" he yelled.

"Yeah, yeah" said Harrison as he waved him off and began walking to the city.

"Hey don't run away, we're arguing here!" yelled Naruto running after his friend.

"You could argue with an apple about tasting bad, just come on" said Harrison.

"Whatever" grumbled Naruto.

...Like No One Ever Was...

Saffron City Gym

Naruto and Harrison stood in front of the Saffron City gym.

"The pair of you should turn away right now; you will only be made into toys" Naruto and Harrison around, an old man with a grey tattered jump suit on, a hat that covered his eyes and gloves that made him look like a labourer.

"Toys...did you take your meds this morning gramps?" asked Naruto making Harrison hit himself in the face.

"Eee vui" Eevee sighed and shook his head in embarrassment.

"No you little brat I don't have medication!" yelled the man making Naruto jumped back.

"Alright, alright take it easy gramps" said Naruto with a laugh.

"Look kids nobody challenges this gym and wins, not since Sabrina became gym leader" said the old man.

"Sabrina" said Harrison.

"Yes, Sabrina uses very powerful physic Pokémon" said the old man.

"You trying to scare us?" asked Naruto as he began twiddling his thumbs. "Because it's working" said Naruto with a nervous laugh.

"So you saying that she's never been beaten?" asked Harrison.

"That is correct, nobody has yet to beat her in her tenure as gym leader" Naruto smirked.

"I may be scared but that doesn't mean I won't step up to the challenge" said Naruto.

"Vui!" agreed Eevee.

"Just a minute ago you were scared" said Harrison.

"A minute ago I didn't know that she hasn't lost yet, I'm going to be the one to beat her" said Naruto with a fist pump.

"Well all the same, good luck to the pair of you. Even though you won't be able to beat her" the old man turned around and walked away.

"Well, my confidence is at an all time high" said Harrison sarcastically.

Naruto turned to look back at the gym; he clenched his fist and let a small smile grace his lips.

"I'm ready to win" said Naruto.

Harrison and Naruto both walked into the gym, they were greeted with a hallway with a stone floor. The hallway was narrow, they walked a few paces to their left was a window a myriad of people focusing on various things. Naruto and Harrison's jaws dropped when they saw one person levitated deck of cards just by looking at them.

"Who are you two!" Naruto and Harrison turned to a young man with long blonde hair, he wore a cape of sorts, long black pants and a black jacket.

"We're here for gym battles" said Naruto.

"Eee vui!" said Eevee with a smile.

"Ha, more victims of Lady Sabrina's physic power you mean" Naruto scratched the top of his head.

"So what are you her bitch or something?" he asked.

"No you little brat" a tick mark appeared on the young man's face. "I'm her assistant" he said proudly.

"But that's beside the point, follow me toys-I mean challengers" Harrison crossed his arms.

"You know if you underestimate every challenge eventually they'll be one to take you by surprise" said Harrison.

"I wouldn't count on it kid, follow" he said as they made their way to a dark room.

"Lady Sabrina I-

"Leave now" a feminie voice from the dark called with a bone chilling aura.

"Y-Yes ma'am" the man scrambled away.

"Sabrina, we're here for a battle!" yelled Naruto.

Suddenly all the lights were turned on to reveal a stadium.

Sabrina sat on a throne at the forefront of the room with a bored look on her face.

Sabrina was a very attractive young woman; she had an odd colour hair of purple. She had had a red tank top on that showed off her midriff, some skin tight jeans and two wrist bands on each wrist.

"I knew you two were coming... Three years ago I had a vision of your arrivals. You're both after my Badge. I don't enjoy battling, but it's my duty as a Leader to confer my Badge on anyone who has proven him/herself worthy. If you lose you have must stay here forever and become my friends" she said in a serious tone.

"Sure I'll be your friend" said Naruto as he rubbed the back of his head.

Harrison shook his head.

"She means prisoners" he said with a sigh.

"Can she do that?" he asked.

"If one of us loses I guess we'll find out" said Harrison.

"Since you wish it, I will show you my psychic powers!" she drew out two pokeballs.

"Wait aren't we going to take turns?" asked Naruto.

"It matters little; I have the ability to telepathically communicate with my Pokémon so whether there are thousands of you or only two, my opponents will be eradicated" Naruto smirked at her.

"Well if that's what you think then you aren't as smart as you look" Naruto tightened his gloves and drew a pokeball, enlarging it as he held it out. Harrison did the same a fiery look in their eyes.

"Bring it" yelled Naruto.

Sabrina drew out two pokeballs and threw them forward.

A Kadabra and Espeon appeared.

"An Espeon" said Naruto.

"Eevee" said Eevee in wonder.

Naruto pulled out Dexter.

"Espeon the physic Pokémon, Espeon is one of the evolved form of Eevee. Espeon is a very rare Pokémon as only the most skilled Eevee trainers have ever had their Eevee attain this evolution, Espeon is considered one of the strongest physic Pokémon" said Dexter.

"Cool" said Naruto as he closed Dexter over.

"Eevee, vui vee vui" said Eevee.

"Draw your Pokémon children!" commanded Sabrina.

"Go/Go" the pair of them yelled.

Drowzee and Torchic appeared.

"At least one of you has enough brain cells to understand" she looked at Harrison.

"Hey wait a minute!" yelled Naruto.

'Espeon use psycannon' thought Sabrina.

Espeon opened its mouth; different colours swirled around into an orb.

'She didn't even have to say anything' thought Harrison.

'It's strong' thought Naruto.

"Yes you are both correct" said Sabrina, Harrison's and Naruto's eyes widened.

"Y-You read my mind" said Harrison in awe.

"You are correct again" Espeon fired the psycannon; it had the same destructive power of a hyper beam. Yet it seemed ominous.

"Drowzee use detect" said Harrison.

Drowzee struggled for a few moments but the attack was pushed away to the left, it blew a massive hole in the wall.

"Torchic use ember" commanded Naruto

Torchic jumped up and fired a myriad number of embers at Kadabra.

'Kadabra, use physic' thought Sabrina.

Kadabra's eyes glowed red.

Kadabra cancelled the attack. He then focused even more at Drowzee and Torchic.

Drowzee and Torchic were both engulfed in a red aura. Drowzee was hardly effected but Torchic screamed out in pain as he was forced to the ground.

"Come on Torchic!" yelled Naruto.

"Tor" groaned the small Pokémon in pain.

"Your Pokémon cannot handle much more, I suggest you-

"No way!" yelled Naruto.

Sabrina looked shocked, for the first time in a long time her expression changed. Her face seemed fixed in the stoic position up until this point in the battle.

"Come on Torchic show me some of that determination, I know you won't give up!" yelled Naruto.

Torchic's eyes snapped open; his entire figure was engulfed in a red light. Torchic changed and in comparison to the little bird his evolved form was the equivalent to a small person.

"Combusken!" yelled the newly evolved fighting bird Pokémon.

"This cannot be" said Sabrina. "Was the future I saw...wrong?"

"Now who should fear who, Combusken use flamethrower!" Combusken opened his beak and three heat waves appeared on the bottom of his beak and to the sides. A small flame appeared in the middle. Combusken dug his heels in and fired an extremely powerful flamethrower.

'Stop it with physic' thought Sabrina.

Both Espeon and Kadabra's eyes glowed red as they attempted to stop the powerful current of flames. Espeon and Kadabra were pushed back; they were both burnt and badly damaged.

"Alright Combusken use double kick" commanded Naruto.

He kicked off at high speeds and kicked Kadabra twice sending it back. Espeon went to headbutt him when he was off balance.

"Drowzee use psywave" Drowzee shot a psywave at Espeon making it double back next to Kadabra.

"Combusken use another flamethrower, give it everything you got" yelled Naruto.

"Combusken!" yelled the bird Pokémon as he breathed in.

He shot out a flamethrower at Kadabra and Espeon, a mixture of white and red flame crashed into them.

"Finish it up Drowzee with confusion" Drowzee moved his hands up and down a blue aura surrounded both Espeon and Kadabra. Drowzee then extended his arms and flung them into the wall, the pair of them fainted as there last bit of energy and fight was sapped away,

"Espeon, Kadabra" said Sabrina.

Naruto and Harrison high fived and laughed in victory.

"I...lost, I lost to these children" she returned her Pokémon. She watched on as Naruto and Harrison hugged their Pokémon, they were all...happy. "Pokémon battling brought these children and their Pokémon closer together...I get it..." she spoke to herself as if she was having this big revelation.

"Get what?" asked Naruto.

"Your powers...they far exceed what I foresaw...Maybe it isn't possible to fully predict what the future holds... OK, you win" she relented with a sigh.

"You have both earned yourselves the Marsh badges" she said with a small smile.

"Woohoo!" yelled Naruto.

Sabrina walked over to them both and pulled out two Marsh badges from her pocket and handed one to each of them. They both took the badges with smiles.

"I failed to accurately predict your powers. That means that your powers are beyond my psychic ability. You both will become celebrated and beloved Champions!" she smiled at them, Naruto blushed a little. She was very pretty, up close like this she was even more beautiful.

"Your love for your Pokémon smashed my psychic abilities, Naruto" Naruto looked shocked and his blushed remained.

"Y-You know my name, I didn't tell y-oh right physic" he chuckled embarrassed.

"The ability to love, I think, is some kind of psychic ability...the bond you share with your Pokémon made you both strong, hold onto that and nothing will stand in your way and...thank you" she leaned down and kissed Naruto on the forehead, intensifying his blush.

"F-For what?" he asked.

"For showing me battles bring us together" Naruto sighed with a smile on his face.

...Like No One Ever Was...

Naruto and Harrison walked past the same old man from before who sat on a park bench.

"Old man, suck it!" Naruto held out his Marsh Badge and walked off with his head held high.
"Ah...sorry mister" apologised Harrison as he ran after Naruto and Eevee.

...Like No One Ever Was...

Pokémon Centre

Saffron City

Naruto laid on the couch with a smug smile on his face. He looked up at his badge case, he now had a total of four badges. He was well on his way to competing in the Indigo Plateau.

"Ompf" Eevee jumped on his chest.

"What do you want?" asked Naruto with a smile.

Eevee turned around to see the badges that they won. He smelt them and turned back around.

"Cool right" said Naruto.

"Vui, Eee vui vee" Naruto chuckled and got up out of the couch.

"Half way there, only four more to go" said Naruto.

"Vui" said Eevee with a smile.

Suddenly a loud boom rocked the area.

"What was that?" asked Harrison as he stopped talking to Nurse Joy.

Everyone in the centre panicked and was in the process of ducking for cover.

"Naruto we-

Harrison turned around to see Naruto running out of the centre.

"Of...course" said Harrison as he dashed out of the centre after him.

...Like No One Ever Was...

A large mechanical monstrosity in the shape of a bulldozer with two mechanical hands, a cot pit, it had a cage at the back that the mechanical arms shovelled in pokeballs.

Harrison growled when he saw who was in the cot pit.

"You!" growled the shadowed figure. The cot pit opened and the 'Iron Masked Marauder.' stepped out.

"What the hell is wrong with, why won't you die?" asked Naruto, Eevee jumped down next to him.

"I won't die because I'm unbeatable" he said as he crossed his arms.

"Well...the score stands 2 us, 0 you" said Harrison.

"Not for long brat, I took this job because they told me it would be easy but now you're here at least I'll be entertained" he drew out two pokeballs.

"Well here we go again" said Harrison as he drew out a pokeball.

"Like said though, it is entertaining" laughed Naruto.

"That it is!" said Harrison as he and Naruto threw their pokeballs out.

A Sneseal and a Tyranitar appeared out of their dark balls.

Harrison's Ponyta and Naruto's Elekid appeared.

"Tyranitar hyper beam!" ordered the man from Team Rocket.

"Elekid get on Ponyta!" yelled Naruto.

"Gallop out of there Ponyta" the explosion rocked the area and smoke erupted everywhere. Naruto and Harrison were forced to cover their eyes. Sneseal jumped through the smoke and slash at Ponyta who jumped back and avoided it.

"Elekid hit that Sneseal with a thunder" ordered Naruto.

"Ree!" Elekid jumped off Ponyta's head after Ponyta catapulted him up.

Elekid shocked Sneseal making it faint.

"Tch, useless" he returned Sneseal.

"Ponyta use flamethrower!" commanded Harrison.

"Elekid get those pokeballs out of the cage" Elekid landed on Ponyta and jumped off before the flames on its back flared up. Ponyta let out a flamethrower at Tyranitar. The powerful jet of flames pushed Tyranitar back, Elekid followed up with a thunder punch to the face sending Tyranitar to the floor. He skipped over the Tyranitar and headed for the pokeballs. Naruto ran after his Pokémon and left Harrison to battle Tyranitar. Eevee followed him closely, he charged at Tyranitar and skull bashed it.

"No you don't!" a red tri pronged claw shot out at Elekid. Naruto jumped in front of him and grabbed two of the pikes. It was about to impale his stomach.

"Go, get the pokeballs!" ordered Naruto.

"Eee, vui vee!" yelled Eevee concerned for his friend.

Instead Elekid fired a thunderbolt at the machine control panels making it malfunction and explode. The Marauder was thrown to the ground and the force behind the claw ceased.

Naruto looked at Elekid who gave him the thumbs up. He turned around and jumped up at the cage, he thunder punched the bars away. Naruto let out a very exasperated and exaggerated sigh and fell to the ground breathing heavily.

"Why, why you brats!" the smoke cleared and Tyranitar had been caught in the explosion making it faint.

The Marauder pulled out a pokeball and returned his Tyranitar with much difficulty.

"Get lost!" said Harrison.

"Ponyta use flame tackle!" Ponyta charged at The Marauder, upon making contact with him and the downed machine. The machine exploded catapulting him into the stratosphere.

"Ha!" yelled Naruto.

"Ree, ree!" Naruto turned around and smiled at his Pokémon

"Thanks buddy, but from now on don't be so quick to not obey" he laughed.

Elekid bashed his chest and they fist pumped. Naruto returned him into his pokeball for a rest.

"Eee, vui vee" Eevee jumped up into Naruto's arms. He rubbed his cheek against Naruto's.

"Hey, I'm okay" Naruto laughed as he held Eevee around his waist.

"What a night" said Harrison as he returned Ponyta.

"You said it, I'm going to bed" said Naruto as he walked off with Eevee.

"Yeah I'll-hey wait help me clean up all the pokeballs!" yelled Harrison.

He heard the Pokémon centre's doors close.

"Of course" he groaned.
