The three legendary beasts glared at the trainers that were before them. Their crimson eyes seeming to stare into their very souls. The three released a snarl as they saw they saw the partner Pokemon of the trainers. Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata remained silent, sweating profusely underneath the harsh gazes of Suicune, Raikou and Entei. Sasuke then steeled his will and managed to stand up before looking at his starter.
"Croconaw, use Water Gun on Entei!" the blue crocodile like Pokemon froze up at it heard its trainer's command, but as it looked up...the judgmental gaze of the fire type forced it to look down at the ground in fear. Sasuke's eyes widened as he watched his partner Pokemon seem to shiver. Quilava and Espeon were still bowing before Raikou and Suicune, respectively since they were standing in front of their trainers.
"CROCONAW!" Sasuke commanded once more. Croconaw gulped before shaking its head to rid it of the fear that was still present in its heart. It opened its jaws and released a jet of water, but Entei merely released a roar. A blast of red-orange fire exploded from its jaws and completely engulfed the water type move. Steam rose up to the ceiling of the Burned Tower and Sasuke could only gape in shock at the strength that Entei just displayed...and the thing was that he KNEW that was barely even a fraction of Entei's power. The elements of fire, lightning, wind and water then began to swirl around the Pokemon. The three then released simultaneous cries before racing out of the tower, streams of their respective colour trailing behind them.
Naruto and Hinata released the breath that they had unknowingly been holding in.
"Wh-What...What power" Sasuke stuttered as he fell back to his knees. Croconaw copied its trainer's action and seemed to sweat even more, the frightening gaze of Entei burned into its mind.
"I...I know, those things are unreal" Naruto agreed with Sasuke.
"I-I-It's no wonder they are l-legendary Pokemon" Hinata stated. Espeon and Quilava walked over to their trainers to see if they were okay before seeing them climb to their feet. Naruto walked over to his rival and held out his hand. Sasuke stared at the outstretched limb for slapping it away as he stood back up on his own.
"Teme, what'd you do that for? I was just trying to help!" the blonde exclaimed. Sasuke turned and his coal black eyes fixated themselves on the blonde's own cerulean orbs.
"I don't NEED help, dobe...what I NEED are those legendary beasts on my side so that way I can defeat my brother" Naruto and Hinata looked confused.
"Sasuke-san, you mentioned him before...Itachi" Hinata saw the boy visibly flinch upon his name being spoken through a mouth other than his own, "What did he do that you want to beat him so badly?" The Uchiha gritted his teeth, fists clenched so tightly that his fingernails were cutting into his skin.
"None of your business, Hyuga" Sasuke said as he jammed his hands into his pockets and turned to leave the tower.
"Oi, teme that's no way to talk to Hinata-chan!" Naruto yelled.
"My past is MY past, dobe. Don't go around asking about other people's business" Sasuke glared at Naruto. Naruto's eyes narrowed at the Uchiha before he and Hinata followed the boy out of the Burned Tower. Kurenai and her associate were waiting outside for the three trainers as they had hoped to get a glimpse of the three legendary beasts in motion, but they moved so quickly that they left the city within the minute.
"Naruto, Hinata...are you guys okay?" Akatsuchi asked. The two nodded before looking at Sasuke as he walked off. Naruto frowned a bit at his rival. The raven haired Uchiha was too antisocial for his own good sometimes. Kurenai then walked up to Naruto and Hinata. Quilava and Espeon were a still a bit rattled from the event that had just occurred, but they were fine.
"Are you two okay?" the red eyed woman asked.
"Hai" they replied. Kurenai sighed in relief before turning to her Misdreavus.
"Well now that that's all said and done, it's obvious the three beasts are not going to be coming for a long time if not at all" Kurenai said, "You guys should take the time to take in the sights of Ecruteak. The Kimono Girls' Dance Hall should be one of the places you should visit, and who knows...you might score with one of them?" Kurenai giggled as she saw the flabbergasted look on Akatsuschi's face.
"Well ja ne, I got a match with your brooding friend"
"Alright, ja ne, Kurenai-san" Naruto waved. When the ghost type gym leader was out of earshot, the blonde turned to his friends. "So what do you say? Wanna check out the Dance Hall?" Hinata paused for a while before shaking her head.
"No...well maybe later, but right now...I want you two to meet Neji nii-san and Uncle Hizashi" The two males were aware of Hinata's family being born and raised in Ecruteak, well her aunt's side of the family was anyway. Hinata had lived her beginning years in Kanto (Look to Hinata's Bio on Chapter 5 or 6 I think it's on). Soon the group arrived at the front of the house, but as Hinata walked up to the door she saw a sign on the door.
Neji and I have gone out to go and train. Hinata if you are reading this, there's something from your Tou-san on the dining room table
The group entered the house of Hinata's uncle and the two males and two Pokemon were in shock at how much bigger the house looked on the inside.
"Sugoi" Naruto muttered. Hinata walked over to the dining room and saw the small little box on the table. She picked up the box and saw there was a note attached to it.
Happy 12th Birthday- Hiashi Hyuga, Hime Hyuga, Hanabi nee-chan Hinata giggled when she saw that the words were done by her mother, except for Hanabi's which was done by herself. Hinata opened the little box and gasped at what she saw. Inside the box was a Twisted Spoon. A Twisted Spoon was a special item that was able to boost the power of Psychic type moves. Hinata looked at her Espeon before smirking.
'Tou-san' she thought before seeing the Twisted Spoon was actually very flexible. So the Hyuga female twisted the spoon around Espeon's right forelimb in a coil allowing it to effectively remain there.
"What do you think?"
"Espe" the Sun Pokemon purred before walking off.
"I think that's a 'yes'" the Hyuga stated. After that, Hinata had remained relatively silent after she told them what had just occurred only to suddenly be enveloped by a group hug.
"Happy Birthday, Hinata/Hinata-chan!" the two boys exclaimed. Hinata giggled at the affection before thanking them. After that they journeyed to find the Dance Hall. Once they had found the Dance Hall, the trio of humans and two Pokemon were about to walk in when they heard a scream.
"Nani?" the five ran in and gasped when they a pair of Kimono Girls. Both were back up against the wall as in front of them were two members of ROOT. Each ROOT member had a Zubat and an Ekans next to them.
"OI, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Naruto exclaimed. The two ROOT members turned and looked at the trio.
"Move it, gakis...now then, Leader-sama wishes to have a word with you lovely ladies about the whereabouts of those Pokemon" The Kimono Girls gulped, but remained defiant.
"We'll never betray the Legendary Pokemon!" the one bearing the pattern of Lugia on her dress said. The ROOT member growled before turning to his Zubat.
"Fine, then we'll take you both in by force" the Zubat flew down and was about to bit their necks, but suddenly a bolt of blue electricity lanced through the air and caught both Bug/Flying types in the air. They twitched in pain as they were covered in electrical charge. The ROOT members and the Kimono Girls turned to see Naruto standing with a Pokeball in his hand. Flaffy stood beside its trainer with an angry look on its face.
"So the gaki wants to play rough, huh?" one of the ROOT members exclaimed. The Zubat rose off of the ground, though their weakening health was evident by the slow flapping of their wings.
"ZUBAT LEECH LIFE!" The Bat Pokemon flew down to attack their prey only to be enveloped in electricity once more and then falling to the ground. The two ROOT members growled in anger before they returned the Bat Pokemon to their respective Pokeballs.
"Ekans, take them down. Use Wrap!" One of the Snake Pokemon lunged at Flaffy, but Hinata's Nidoran used Tackle and snatched the purple and yellow coloured snake out of the air and slammed it into the ground. However, the Ekans used its extreme flexibility to thread its way out of the hold Nidoran had on it before opening its mouth.
"BITE!" Ekans' small fangs appeared and the bit down on the shoulder of the Poison Point Pokemon. Nidoran winced as the Ekans sunk its fangs into its flesh before its eyes narrowed and the quills on its back became sharp and tipped with poison. Ekans was suddenly hit with a barrage of quills from Nidoran's Poison Sting. Ekans hissed in pain, releasing the Poison type. It then opened its jaws and was about to use Bite again, but Nidoran twisted and used Double Kick, crashing its feet against the serpent's face. However, just as the blue rodent was about to use Tackle, it was taken down by the second Ekans which everyone seemed to have forgotten about.
"OI, two against one isn't fair!" Naruto yelled before returning Flaffy. "Pidgeotto, Quick Attack!" The flying type appeared in flash of white before diving down and striking both Snake Pokemon in the face with tremendous force sending them flying back.
"Now Twister!" Naruto commanded. A blue tornado formed as Pidgeotto rapidly flapped its wings and engulfed the two Poison type Pokemon, sending them spiralling upwards. They seemed to float in the air before dropping down.
"Golem, Tackle!" Akatsuthe Megaton Pokemon which ran towards the falling reptiles before leaping and smashing full force into the bodies of both Snake Pokemon and sent them crashing into the wall. The Ekans both hissed in pain before they fainted, swirls replacing their eyes. The ROOT members cursed before returning the Pokemon to their Pokeballs.
"You'll pay for this, gaki...soon ROOT will be reborn in its former glory" and with that the ROOT members threw down a few smoke bombs. Black smoke covered the area where they were and when the smoke disappeared...they were gone. Naruto and Hinata returned their Pokemon to their balls before running over to the Kimono Girls.
"Arigato for saving us" the Kimono Girls bowed.
"No problem" Naruto grinned. The two Kimono suddenly paused as they stared at Naruto and gave him a once over.
"You...care for your Pokemon...don't you?" the Kimono Girl with Ho-oh's design on her dress spoke. Naruto blinked at her question and looked down at Quilava.
"Well yeah...of course I care for them. They're like friends and family to me, without them I wouldn't be where I am now" he replied. The one with Lugia's design spoke this time as she looked at Hinata.
"Your soul is pure. You cherish everything you have done with your Pokemon, even your failures" Hinata slowly nodded.
"Everything I do with my Pokemon is cherished" the Hyuga said. The Kimono girls looked at each other before smiling softly at the two trainers.
"You will have a part to play in the resurrection of our masters" she said before she and her fellow Kimono girl began to walk off, "Sky and Sea will finally meet and then the time traveller will come"
"What...stop speaking in riddles! What does that mean?" Hinata asked. However, the Kimono Girls refused to reply and then exited the Dance Hall. Hinata and Naruto looked at one another.
"Sky and Sea will finally meet..." Naruto murmured.
"And then the time traveller will come" Hinata finished. Akatsuchi patted the two trainers on their heads.
"Hey, come on...ignore them. They're probably short a few brain cells and are just spouting nonsense, now come on. Hinata, Olivine is the closest city from here. Your contest will be there" Hinata smiled at her rock type training friend.
"Hai" However, just as they were about to leave, an old man walked out from the corner of the Dance Hall. A Psyduck was next to him.
"Hello" The trainers blinked.
"Ummm...hello?" they replied. The old man chuckled at their tone of voice before giving them a smile.
"I saw how you three stopped those bad people from hurting the Kimono Girls. Those girls have always put on a beautiful dance during the nights they come back home and I thank you for saving them...Here" the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a deep blue coloured disc. Naruto took the cased disc and read the engraving on it.
"HM03:Surf" Naruto's eyes widened. "This is a Hidden Move...how did you find it?" The old man chuckled once more.
"A friend of mine...a very strong trainer he was, in fact...you looked just like him" the old man said pointing at Naruto. The blue eyed blonde blinked at the accusation before thanking the old man for the HM.
"Anytime, now know that that move there, Surf, is a water type move which, when used in battle summons forth a giant wave to take down the opponents and for smaller Pokemon, like say a Wooper for example which cannot swim very quickly. The Pokemon will be able to swim swiftly across the seas to your destination should it require ocean travel. Naruto grinned as he took out Quagsire's Pokeball.
"Quagsire!" the water/ground type appeared in a flash of white. Naruto inserted the disc into the Pokedex and then the option box came up as a beam of blue light entered Quagsire's head.
You wish to teach Quagsire Surf. Are you sure you wish to forget a move to learn Surf? Naruto clicked yes on the option box that appeared on the Pokedex's screen.
Quagsire can only know four moves. Please select a move you wish to forget for Surf Naruto watched as Quagsire's current move set appeared. Mud Shot, Water Gun, Mud Bomb and Slam. Naruto forgot Slam and the Pokedex beeped as the beam went into the memory area of Quagsire's brain and removed its ability to use the attack, Slam and replaced it with Surf.
Congratulation, your Quagsire now knows Surf The Pokdex then beeped before retracting the blue beam and the disc drive opened up before Naruto handed the disc to Hinata who used her lavender Pokedex to aid in teaching her Furret the Water type move. After that was done, the old man went back to sit in his corner of the Dance Hall with the yellow duck Pokemon.
After leaving the Dance Hall, the group walked through the city towards the entrance leading to Route 38. However, before they were about to go, Naruto's Pokegear began to ring. Naruto felt himself before feeling the Pokegear in his right pocket. He fished it out before activating the Phone card.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Naruto! It's Professor Iruka" Naruto beamed when he heard the name.
"Oh hey, Professor. What's up?" The Professor shrugged on the other end.
"Eh can't complain and you and Hinata are doing really well with the Pokedex. 70 Seen and 51 Caught. Splendid job for beginner trainers such as yourselves. Have you won any new badges? How about Hinata and her contests?"
"I just beat Kurenai-san and won my fourth badge in Ecruteak City. Hinata-chan won her first ribbon yesterday in Goldenrod"
"Well good job to both of you!" the young professor congratulated the two young trainers.
"So Professor, why did you call?" Naruto asked. Iruka slapped himself.
"Oh right, I completely forgot. I called to tell you that a friend of mine wanted to give a trainer a Pokemon to raise for him" Iruka informed the boy. The blonde trainer tilted his head in confusion.
"Who's he? And what Pokemon is it?"
"He never said his name, which was weird because he seemed to know you rather well. He said he should already be there and he said he's waiting for you in the Pokemon Center there in Ecruteak City" Naruto nodded before saying goodbye to the Professor and then hung up. Naruto turned to Hinata and Akatsuchi.
"Professor Iruka said how that there's someone here who wanted to meet with me. Says how the guy has a Pokemon he wanted help on raising and so he's giving it to me" Naruto told the two trainers.
"Well good for you, Naruto-kun. At least you can make a temporary replacement for a sixth team member while Dratini trains in the DayCare Center" Naruto smiled.
"Yeah, I wonder what Pokemon it is though?" Naruto said before looking down at Quilava. "Come on buddy"
"Quil Quil!" the Volcano Pokemon nodded and the two ran off towards the Pokemon Center with Hinata, Akatsuchi and Espeon waiting for him at the entrance to Route 38.
Ecruteak City-Pokemon Center
The automatic doors slid open and the blonde trainer and his fire type partner entered the establishment. Nurse Shizune looked up from the desk as she was filling out some forms for a Pokeball shipment to the Pokemon Center in Azalea Town. She yawned slightly before spying the blonde trainer.
Shizune hailed the boy out and Naruto and Quilava walked over to the black haired nurse.
"Hi, Nurse Shizune" Naruto greeted the medical doctor. Shizune smiled before looking down at a note that she pulled from her pocket.
"Are you...Naruto Uzumaki?" she asked. Naruto nodded in confirmation.
"Hai" he replied. Shizune smiled before turning her back and going over to one of the shelves and pulled out a Pokeball. Naruto watched as Shizune handed the spheroid over to him.
"A young man came over here and said to give you this" Shizune handed Naruto the Pokeball and the boy observed the ball. Quilava stood up on its hind legs to look over the capturing device and was in wonder at the look on the ball. It was a black ball with lines of a golden-orange colour that raced around the circumference of the ball. A small golden-orange button lay in the center of the ball. Naruto eyed the ball curiously.
"What kind of Pokeball is this?" he asked.
"It's a Luxury Ball" Shizune replied, "It's a ball that grants extreme comfort to the Pokemon within it, or so I've been told since I've never been in a Pokeball. Anyways, they say the level of friendship between a trainer and a Pokemon in a Luxury Ball is immediately increased so I'm sure whatever Pokemon is in that ball, it will be quick to like you"
"Alright...Ikuzo!" he opened the ball. A flash of red and white light, a few sparkles coming out with the flash, appeared in front of Naruto and Quilava. The flash of light then took on a physical form before dying down.
"Eeveee!" the Evolution Pokemon cooed before walking up to Naruto and sat before him. "Vee Vee"
"An Eevee?" Naruto looked puzzled at this development. As grateful as he was to the trainer who wished to give him the Eevee...it was rather odd that it was such a rare Pokemon along with the fact that it was given to HIM of all people.
"So Eevee...you're my new team member huh?" the brown and cream coloured canine nodded.
"Vee Eevee Vee Eevee"
"We're glad to meet you too. So wanna meet the rest of the guys, you've only just met Quilava" The Volcano Pokemon looked at the Evolution Pokemon and smiled.
"Quil Quilava Quil Lava"
"Veeeee" Naruto smirked at the how the two were getting along before throwing out his other four Pokeballs. Heracross, Pidgeotto, Flaffy and Quagsire all appeared in flashes of light before spying Eevee.
"Eev" the Evolution Pokemon waved. They all gaped in shock.
"Hera Heracross?"
"No Heracross, Espeon did not somehow devolve. This is a new Pokemon I got, so I want you all to welcome Eevee to the team"
"Pidgeooo" Pidgeotto flew down and allowed Eevee a ride on its back before handing the canine over to the Single Horn Pokemon.
"Herac!" Heracross then dropped Eevee down onto Quagsire's rock hard head causing the canine to wince.
"Quagsire?" Eevee shook its paw in a 'no problem' gesture showing it wasn't hurt by the impact.
"Vee Vee" The Mud Fish Pokemon seemed to smile before bending its head. Eevee began rolling off and falling atop the tuft of fluffy white wool that lay atop Flaffy's own cranium.
"Flaaaaffy" the Electric type bleated. Eevee smiled before nuzzling into Flaffy's wool. Naruto then allowed his Pokemon a few more minutes of play time before deciding to go on and return the others to their balls.
"Come on, Eevee. I have to show you to Akatsuchi, Hinata-chan and Espeon" Eevee nodded and it climbed atop Quilava's back for easier transportation before they left the Pokemon Center.
"Oh look, Naruto-kun's coming back" Hinata pointed out as she was busy grooming Togepi. The egg-like Pokemon was purring a bit in its trainer's arms before snuggling into her developed bosom.
"I don't know why, but I feel..." Hinata looked confused at the Rock type trainer's sudden pause only to face fault when he finished with, "the need to pee" Hinata stalked over to the older boy and bitch slapped him.
"What was that for?" Akatsuchi whined.
"Don't say such inappropriate things in front of baby, you baka" Hinata said. Seems hanging out with two overconfident males who insult each other as a sport for over a week really did wonders on her personality and not just her confidence. Naruto then appeared in front of his friends.
"Hey guys...what's up with your face?" he asked the Hiker. Akatsuchi frowned as he touched the red hand print shaped mark on his face.
"Your girlfriend just slapped me" Akatsuchi complained. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Well you probably just did something stupid then"
"Who are you calling stupid?" Akatsuchi said as he put Naruto into a noogie. Naruto maneuvered out of the headlock and then jumped atop Akatsuchi's shoulder and began to pull on his ears.
"You, you big baka" The Pokemon and Hinata all watched with hilarious looking faces. Their eyes had become pure black circles, Hinata's were white though, and their mouths were now small little dots and Hinata was now void of a nose as she and the Pokemon became chibis. However, Hinata realized something which caused her to turn crimson at the thought.
'H-He never d-d-denied th-that I was his g-g-girlfriend' she thought to herself. This caused Togepi and Espeon to look at their trainer in confusion as she began to swoon for no apparent reason. Once the little brawl was over and done with, Naruto being the victor after he had performed a bitch slap on the same place where Hinata had slapped him, leaving him with an even bigger hand print on his face that was now glowing a bright red.
"Dude...you hit like Hinata-san...it hurts so bad" he cried anime tears. Naruto blinked. He didn't know whether that was an insult to his manhood or a compliment to how hard he could hit. He left the answer as a neutral one before getting his freinds' attentions once more.
"Alright guys, I want you all to meet the newest member to Team Naruto...Eevee" he gestured to the small Evolution Pokemon causing them all widen their eyes.
"NANI?" Espeon walked up in front of its previous form before bending down.
"Espe?" the Sun Pokemon bent down. Suddenly the Eevee seemed to stare into Espeon's deep, violet coloured eyes and suddenly Lionel Ritchie's song, "Naturally", began to play in the background. Eevee's eyes grew wider before the pupils became miniature beating hearts.
"Espeon!" The sound of a record scratching entered Eevee's mind before it shook its head as the twin tailed Pokemon was staring at it with a concerned look on its face.
"Eevee?" the Pokemon asked.
"Eevee, you were kinda spacin' out there. You okay?" Naruto asked his newest team member. Eevee nodded before introducing itself to Espeon...and the others. After the introductions of Eevee to everyone's Pokemon, they were all sent back into their balls, except for Espeon and Quilava of course, and then set off in the direction of Route 38.
Route 38
The group walked along the path through the grassy areas of Route 38. They were then able to catch a few more Pokemon along the way. Hinata had captured a Miltank, Snubbull, Meowth, and Farfetch'd, while Naruto was able to capture a Tauros, an Exeggcute, a Magnemite and Ledyba. The data was then registered in each of their Pokedex-es.
Miltank the Milk Cow Pokemon. A Normal Type Pokemon. Its milk is packed with nutrition, making it the ultimate beverage for the sick or weary.
Snubbull the Fairy Pokemon. A Normal Type Pokemon. It has an active, playful nature. Many women like to frolic with it because of its affectionate ways.
"Lucky temes" Akatsuchi mumbled when he heard the part about how Snubbull attracted women to it.
"I feel you, brother" Naruto patted the man on the back. Hinata huffed inwardly at Naruto's comment, but kept silent.
Meowth the Scratch Cat Pokemon. A Normal Type Pokemon. It is fascinated by round objects. It can't stop playing with them until it tires and falls asleep.
Farfetch'd the Wild Duck Pokemon. A Norma/Flying Type Pokemon. If it eats the plant stalk it carries as emergency rations, it runs off in search of a new stalk.
Tauros the Wild Bull Pokemon. A Normal Type Pokemon. They fight each other by locking horns. The herd's protector takes pride in its battle-scarred horns.
Exeggcute the Egg Pokemon. A Grass/Psychic Type Pokemon. The shell is very durable. Even if it cracks, it can survive without spilling the contents.
Magnemite the Magnet Pokemon. An Electric/Steel Type Pokemon. The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
Ledyba the Five Star Pokemon. A Bug/Flying Type Pokemon. When the weather turns cold, lots of Ledyba gather from everywhere to cluster and keep each other warm.
Once the information was read, the Pokeballs were transported via Pokedex transporter, to Professor Iruka's lab in New Bark Town. The group then took a short break to eat and do some training with their Pokemon. Naruto trained for his upcoming battle with the Olivine Gym leader and Hinata trained a bit for her contest while Akatsuchi was the dummy opponent they were to face off against. Of course, Akatsuchi's role for Hinata was practice for her contest BATTLES instead of her appeals.
One hour later
"All right, well now that that's done, let's hurry to Olivine so we can..."
"YOSH! AT LAST I HAVE DONE IT, THE FLAMES OF YOUTH KNOW NO BOUNDS YOSH!" Everyone swetadropped at what they just heard.
"Nani?" they asked themselves before walking in the direction of the yells. They walked until they reached the end of Route 38, which was actually quite far away which meant this person was louder than even our blonde protagonist. They parted some bushes before coming to the fence which separated Route 38 from Route 39 and stared as they a young boy, at least one year older than both Naruto and Hinata, running around in circles rather quickly...with two Miltank atop his back.
"Yo!" Naruto called out. The boy stopped running and he turned to face them before dropping the Miltank.
"Ah, youthful travelers who come from the other parts of Johto. I am the youthful Green Beast of Johto, I AM ROCK LEE! YOSH!" His eyes were suddenly burning with flames and Naruto and the others could only sweatdrop. the boy was dressed in a leotard looking one piece suit that covered the entirety of his body except for his head and neck. He wore orange leg warmers Around his waist was a black belt, so he was probably very adept at hand-to-hand combat. His hair was black and it was in the shape of a bowl. His eyes were perfect circles with equally circular, pure black irises.
"Are you for real?" they asked more to themselves than to the green leotard clad boy before them. His teeth were a shining white that seemed to reflect the light of the sun and...
"Are your eyebrows real?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata whined, "Gomen nasai, we hope Naruto-kun didn't insult you" Hinata bowed. Lee shook his head.
"No, my friends there is no need to apologize. MY EYEBROWS ARE BASED OFF OF THE STYLE OF MY IDOL AND FORMER MENTOR, THE FIRST GREEN BEAST OF JOHTO, GAI-SENSEI!" Lee suddenly began to cry profusely and the other began to worry if he would die from lack of bodily fluids.
"Hey...are you okay?" Akatsuchi asked. Lee suddenly did a complete 180 and grinned performing the 'Nice-Guy' pose. His teeth made a pinging sound as the light reflected off of them.
"I am fine..." Lee paused, "Ummm what are your names?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, future Johto League Champion"
"I'm Hinata...Hinata Hyuga"
"Akatsuchi Miyake"
"Hello, my new friends" Lee bowed politely.
"LEE COME QUICK!" a woman's voice echoed. Lee turned around and the group followed his gaze to see the Miltank Ranch in the distance.
"I AM COMING, MISS ASAJI!" Lee yelled out before taking off like a shot.
"That woman sounded frightened, we should go take a look as well" Hinata suggested. Naruto nodded before the three trainers, Espeon and Quilava began running towards the Miltank Ranch.
Route 39-Miltank Ranch
The group followed Lee into the barn area of the ranch and they saw the woman from earlier, Ms. Asaji, standing beside a Miltank. Ms. Asaji, known more commonly as just Asaji, was about nineteen years old with shoulder length brown hair. She had deep green eyes that made Sakura's look like they were a dull grey in comparison. Her body was rather voluptuous for a woman her age. She wore a regular ranch owner's outfit. White t-shirt and blue overalls and brown boots. Her hair was currently tied up in a pony tail. Next to the woman was a middle aged man with brown hair which had a couple of grey streaks going through it. He wore the same outfit as Asaji's, only it was much larger since the man was fat. He wore a straw hat atop his head and was holding a pitchfork, which Naruto carefully moved away from his face when the man had turned to face them.
The group then focused their attention on the Miltank before them. It was rather pale in comparison to the other Miltank and it was moaning...mooing?...in pain.
"What's wrong?" Akatsuchi asked.
"Milky was fine yesterday, but then in the middle of the night she suddenly contracted a bad case of the flu...at least I think it's the flu" Asaji said, "I have no Oran Berries to aid her healing either" The woman gave a crestfallen look before Akatsuchi walked up to the Miltank. He rested his palm against the Milk Cow Pokemon's forehead and hummed to himself before looking at Hinata.
"Hinata-san, your mother was a doctor right?" Hinata nodded.
"Hai, she worked at the Saffron City Pokemon Center" the Hyuga replied.
"Do you mind giving me a diagnosis?" Hinata nodded before going over to Milky and taking the Milk Cow Pokemon's temperature using the back of her hand. She then opened the cow's mouth and observed its tongue. She then squeezed one of the udders and caused a bit of milk to flow out of it. Hinata licked the milk before sputtering and spitting the milk out.
"The milk is immediately curdling after it is being released from Milky's body. The enzymes in a Miltank's body are used to keep the milk from doing so and also allows for the reaction of Moomoo Milk's healing properties to occur at a faster rate due to the Activation energy of the reaction to occur being lowered...however, Milky's enzymes seem to be going dormant and her milk is beginning to curdle and the milk is extremely hot. Too hot for the enzymes to act at their usual optimum level. Whatever she has is attacking her cells which contain the enzymes. You'll need a mixture of Oran Berries and Peach Berries" Hinata explained. Naruto could only gape as he saw the look on the girl's face. It was so...confident and serious. Sure she looked confident onstage at her contests, but this...this was just pure determination.
'Is this really, Hinata-chan' the blonde thought, 'She's...awesome'
"You got all that from a simple taste test?" Asaji's father, the old man, asked. Hinata nodded.
"The condition of a Miltank's milk is what allows you to tell whether it is healthy or not. Being a rancher, you should possess that basic set of information" Hinata said sharply. Suddenly, Akatsuchi began reaching into his backpack. He pulled out a Berry Pouch and removed three Oran Berries and three Pecha Berries from the bag.
"Years of traveling tends to leave you preparing for the worst sometimes" he explained when he saw the confused looks on his traveling companions' faces. He then looked at Asagi and Lee. "Okay Hinata, I think I got it from here" the pale eyed girl nodded as Akatsuchi turned his attention on I'll need a bowl, one of the milk extractors you use to take Miltank milk and a cooling agent, ice will do fine, and a berry crusher" he instructed the woman and the hyperactive leotard wearing boy. The female ranch owner nodded before exiting the barn and going into her house which was directly next to the ranch.
A few minutes later, she returned with the requested items. Akatsuchi took his Oran Berries and Peach Berries and placed them in the clay bowl. He took the berry crusher and smashed the berries in the bowl until they were made into a light purple paste. He then took the milk extractor and took out the equivalent of one bottle's worth of Miltank milk and allowed the milk to flow into a spare bottle he had gathered from Asaji's father through the other end of the tube. He then carefully shook the bowl before turning to Espeon.
"Espeon, use Confusion to mix the contents of the bowl" The Sun Pokemon, noting the seriousness of the situation, obeyed the Hiker and its eyes turned an electric blue colour. The contents in the bowl began to slowly swirl around, not even a single drop of the mixture that had formed, had spilled. After a minute of mixing, Akatsuchi told the Psychic type to stop. "Quilava, a little beat of heat please" The Volcano Pokemon nodded before igniting the flames on the top of its head a bit. The bowl, being made of clay, was not affected by the heat much and so Akatsuchi's hands were not burned in the slightest as he gripped the bowl's edge. The mixture bubbled slightly as it was heated and the impurities from the milk mixture left as a blue vapour. He then added the ice to the mixture and watched as the ice melted quickly as it cooled the mixture.
"Alright...here you go" Akatsuchi tilted the mixture to Milky's mouth. The Miltank moaned as it watched Asaji.
"It's okay, Milky...he seems to know what he's doing" the Milk Cow Pokemon nodded before allowing the mixture to enter her gullet and began to chug the contents of the bowl. After Milky drank all of the mixture, Milky's eyes began to droop as the heat of the milk made her drowsy. Akatsuchi placed the back of his hand against Milky's forehead once more before sighing in relief.
"Alright, her temperature's gone down and she'll need plenty of rest. She should be better in matter of days" Ms. Asaji smiled warmly at the eighteen year old Hiker.
"Arigato, as thanks for your services, please...I insist you spend the night here at my ranch. Plus I'll give each of you a free bottle of Moomoo Milk" she added.
"You had me at 'arigato'" Akatsuchi said, "What do you think guys, spending the night?" Hinata and Naruto looked outside and noticed the setting sun and nodded.
"Yeah, Route 39 is rather long and I am a bit tired" Naruto said.
"I concur" Hinata said. Espeon and Quilava gave their respective cries before following Asaji to her house's extra rooms, however they noticed Lee was not staying.
"Hey, Lee where are you going?" Naruto asked.
"Gomen nasai, my friend, Naruto, but I am afraid I must leave for you see I have a friend in Olivine and I must see her...I haven't seen her in...in many years" Lee said with a downcast look. Naruto smirked and walked up to the taller boy.
"I'm sure your friend would be pleased to see you after so long. Besides...you got the Flames of Youth on your side right?" Naruto chuckled. Lee's eyes burned with determination...literally as his eyes seemingly caught aflame causing the blonde to back off a bit as Lee became fired up.
"YOSH! Arigato, Naruto-kun, you are a most treasured friend and if I cannot make it to Olivine City within the hour I will walk up and down Route 39 on my hands 100 times and if I cannot do that, I will do five hundred push ups on my thumbs..."
"Uh Lee?" Naruto and the others swetadropped at his overdramaticizing of the situation before he turned to them.
"Hai, Naruto-kun?"
"Ummm your friend?" Lee nodded before taking off at inhuman speeds causing the viewing party's sweatdrops to grow larger.
"Well...he's nice" Hinata commented. The two males stared at her with a blank look before looking at each other. They shrugged at that.
"Yeah" The trainers then decided to let out their Pokemon, Akatsuchi made sure to open the window and release Onix outside onto the ranch's soft grass.
"Goodnight" Hinata told them. The Pokemon gave their respective cries, while Naruto and Akatsuchi used words before they immediately fell asleep.
Olivine City-Lighthouse
Olivine City is a seaside city, gifted with the amazing view it has of the deep ocean and the Whirl Islands in the distance. The landmarks of this magnificent city include the Steel type Pokemon Gym as well as the famed Olivine Lighthouse. At the top of this very lighthouse is an Amphoros, the final evolution of Mareep, who uses its tail to shine a light and allows for ships that come to and from the Johto region to see. However...Amphoros was not so lucky tonight.
The electric type Pokemon was busy shining brightly in the darkened top floor of the lighthouse. The Amphoros, Amphy, yawned loudly as she was a bit tired. However, her ears twitched and Amphy turned around, tail shining brightly.
"Amph!" the electric type scanned the room with her tail orb's light before seeing there was nothing in the room, but as she was still scanning the floor, from the top of the ceiling descended two shadowy figures. The light of Amphy's tail showed them to both be dressed in black, skin tight suits and by their curvaceous figures, these intruders were obviously female. The intruder on the right of Amphy silently reached into her pocket and retrieved a small syringe and then turned to her companion who nodded. The perpetrator on the left, tapped Amphy's shoulder. The electric type spun around quickly, but as the Amphoros did so it was suddenly injected with the syringe. The bright green fluid flowed into Amphy's circulatory system and began to infect her blood cells.
The two nodded before leaving the lighthouse and with that, Amphy's breathing became laboured...and her tail light dimmed before it stopped shining all together.
The Next Day
Our protagonist trio and their Pokemon awoke with simultaneous yawns as the sound of screeching Pidgey and mooing Miltank were heard.
"Ahhhh, that was a nice nap" Naruto commented.
"Quil Quil" Quilava yawned as it woke up only to suddenly find a warmth next to it body. The fire type looked down to see Espeon snuggling next to it. "Quil?" The Volcano Pokemon then heard a growling sound and turned to see its newest team member, Eevee, staring at it with...was that jealousy? Quilava ignored the Evolution Pokemon's gaze before gently nudging the Psychic type.
"Quil Quilava" the fire type spoke. Espeon moaned in annoyance before cracking open a single amethyst eye. The Sun Pokemon yawned before noticing Quilava right next to it.
"ESPE ESPEON!" Espeon seemed to be surprised at Quilava being right next to before turning and sending it comically flying through the air with a Confusion attack. Quilava groaned as it was painfully flung into the body of its trainer.
"Oof" Naruto onto his pillow before rolling Quilava off of him.
"Hinata-chan, as much I love Espeon...please try to control that thing. She's damaging my Quilava" Hinata nodded before turning to her partner Pokemon.
"Espeon, apologize!" the blue-black haired girl ordered. Espeon looked surprised.
"Espe Espeon Espeon Peon!"
"What do you mean Quilava was 'feeling you up'?" Naruto asked. Hinata and, the now awake, Akatsuchi, along with the other Pokemon turned to look at Naruto.
"You understand her?" the Hiker asked. Naruto shrugged.
"I try to work it out as best as I can. I'm getting better aren't I?" he asked with a foxy grin. Hinata nodded slowly.
"Now what's this about Quilava feeling you up in the middle of the night?" Naruto asked. Espeon then went into an over exaggerated explanation of how she was peacefully sleeping only to wake up and find Quilava next to her and was poking her. Naruto blinked at the Sun Pokemon.
"That's it?" he asked. Espeon nodded.
"Espe?"
"Why you ask?" Naruto sighed, "Nothing, just forget. Quilava forgives you anyways for the attack, no harm done"
"Quil Quilava"
"Well Hinata-chan will give you a back massage if my face hurt your back" Naruto countered, "Now stop being a such a sissy and get off of me"
After the three trainers showered and Akatsuchi checked up on Milky one last time, they returned the other Pokemon, except for Quilava and Espeon, to their Pokeballs. Ms. Asaji walked up to the trio and handed them their bottles of Moomoo Milk.
"Milky's feeling much better thanks to you, Akatsuchi-kun" the ninteen year old woman said with a smile. Akatsuchi nodded, blushing slightly at the suffix.
"That's good to hear, now remember to just have her drink other types of milk from the other Miltank, give her three Oran Berries when her fever starts to act up again and if you need any help just call" Akatsuchi said. Asaji pulled out her Pokegear and the two exchanged numbers.
"I can't thank you enough for your help, Akatushci-san. If there's anything I can do to help repay my debt to you and your friends, I'll gladly help you" Akatsuchi chuckled.
"Haha, a kiss on the cheek wouldn't hurt?" he joked. However, he, along with everyone else seemed to freeze as they saw the ranch owner plant one on the boy's right cheek before backing away. A slight blush donned her face before she threw her shoulder length, brown hair over her shoulders.
"I'll see you later then, Akatsuchi-kun" she smiled at him. The Hiker could only nod dumbly before he was pulled aside by Asaji's father.
"I don't know what you're tryin' pull with my daughter, boy...but if I find out there's someone other than my daughter, I'm sending ol' Tyson for your ass" Akatsuchi gulped.
"Wh-Who's T-T-Tyson?" Asaji's father grinned widely before whistling sharply. A loud, gruff 'moooo' was heard and Akatsuchi looked to see a large Tauros snorting as it appeared next to the rancher. Akatsuchi's face paled before taking off like a shot down the road of Route 39. Asaji's father chuckled at that.
"Good job, Tyson hahaha...get's 'em every time" Naruto and Hinata looked at the old man like he was a nutjob before following after their scared friend.
Olivine City
The trio entered the city with happy grins on their faces.
"You know, Hinata-chan, that was pretty cool how you were able to make a diagnosis on Milky's condition like that" Naruto complimented the girl. Hinata smiled at that.
"Arigato, Naruto-kun. Though it wasn't that big a deal"
"Not that big a..Hinata-chan you give yourself to little credit. Sure Akatsuchi made the medicine, but without you making the diagnosis he wouldn't have known jack shit to do or what berries to use"
"He's right" the Hiker stated. Hinata blushed a bit at the praise.
"So, Hinata-chan?" Hinata looked at her blonde friend, "Does that mean that if I get sick, you could be my doctor right?" Hinata blushed a bit when Naruto suddenly draped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.
"Ummm uh..." she gulped. Naruto then froze before breaking into anime tears.
"Is that no. WHY HINATA-CHAN WHYYY! Don't you love me?" he became a chibi and began to hug Hinata's legs. Hinata giggled a bit.
"I...I-I do l-l-love you...Naruto-kun" she stutered patting chibi Naruto on his head, 'More than you know' Suddenly Naruto returned to his original form and grinned.
"Yay, Hina-chan's gonna be my doctor" he said in a sing-song voice.
"H-Hina-chan?" Akatsuchi chuckled as he saw the blonde prancing around.
"Don't worry, he may be dense when it comes to women, but he'll come around" the red clad Hiker whispered. Hinata turned a brighter shade of red before forcing it down as they saw a crowed surrounding the Olivine City lighthouse.
"What's going on?" Naruto asked as he and Quilava paused. Espeon walked up next to the Volcano Pokemon and then climbed atop its back for a better view.
"Quil-av-a" the Pokemon groaned as Espeon seemed to be a lot heavier than it looked. Suddenly the boisterous voice of Rock Lee echoed through the area.
"NARUTO-KUN, HINATA-SAN, AKATSUCHI-SAN!" the green clad boy appeared out of the crowd and walked towards them.
"Bushy Brows" Naruto said his newly proclaimed nickname for the boy causing everyone else to sweatdrop, "What's going on?" the blonde asked.
"Something terrible has happened. The Amphoros, Amphy, is sick and she requires medicine, but we don't know her condition. Even Nurse Shizune hasn't a clue on what to do" Lee informed his friends.
"Well don't worry, Hina-chan can fix up Amphy like how she helped come up with how to fix Milky" Naruto said. Lee thought about it for a moment.
"Of course, Naruto-kun that's a brilliant idea. Come Hinata-san, we must not wait. AMPHY'S SPARKS OF YOUTH MUST BE RECHARGED!" Hinata gulped slightly, but seeing as how the crowd had heard Lee's little outburst, they were now focusing on her.
"Ummm H-H-Hai" she stuttered.
"Ok, but my friend, the one I told you about yesterday...she is up there with Ampht and has shut the original door to Amphy's room with the elevator card. We'll have to take the stairs, my friends"
"No problem, we'll help Amphy...I don't go back on my word" Lee looked in awe as he saw the determination burning in Naruto's cerulean orbs before nodding and began to enter the Lighthouse. Naruto then grabbed the girl's hand and began to follow Lee up to the Lighthouse.
"Akatsuchi-san, keep people from entering the Lighthouse!" Lee yelled to him. Akatsuchi nodded before taking out a Pokeball. He threw it into the air and Onix materialized in a flash of light. The Rock Snake Pokemon released a roar that caused everyone to back up in fear.
"No one enters the Lighthouse unless I say so" Akatsuchi exclaimed. The crowd gulped as they saw the piercing gaze of the giant rock/ground type, watching for anyone that DARED to stand against it.
Olivine Lighthouse-Interior
Along the way up the Lighthouse, the guards of the Lighthouse, which consisted of a few burly sailors who were equipped with Water types were easily taken down by Naruto's Flaffy and Hinata's newly evolved Skiploom.
Skiploom the Cottonweed Pokemon. A Grass/Flying type Pokemon. It spreads its petals to absorb sunlight. It also floats in the air to get closer to the sun.
Once they had done that, they climbed to the top of the Lighthouse and entered from the stairwell. They looked up to find the downed Amphoros next to a girl wearing a pink chinese shirt and tight blue pants. She had her brown hair tied up into two buns and a pair of chopsticks were in hair to hold then to together along with the hair ties it seemed. She wore a pair of deep blue sandals to complete the look.
"Tenten" Lee said as he walked up to the girl. The girl looked to be the same age as Lee, thirteen years old, and was busy mulling over Amphy the second she looked back at it.
"I've brought some help. These are my new friends, Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga..."
"Hyuga?" Tenten snapped her head up at the name, "Are you related to Neji?" Hinata nodded.
"Hai...I'm his cousin, Hinata. My Uncle Hizashi and Neji weren't home so...anyways, can I see Amphoros for a second" Tenten glared at the Hyuga.
"No, only people I trust are able to touch Amphy" Tenten hissed like an Arbok. Lee looked at her.
"Tenten, listen to me, Hinata-sa has experience healing Pokemon. Her Kaa-san was a doctor in Saffron City, let her help" Hinata was then given access to test Amphy and saw the light in Amphoros' tail begin to flicker a bit as it was charging electricity. Hinata frowned before feeling the Pokemon's forehead.
'Fever' she thought. She then looked at Naruto.
"Naruto, I'll need Flaffy for this but" Naruto nodded before releasing the Wool Pokemon.
"Flaffy place your tail against Amphoros' and pump some electricity into her" the female Wool Pokemon nodded before sending blue bolts of electricity into its tail and allowing Amphy's own to conduct the energy. Hinata noticed that Amphy seemed to look much better and told Flaffy to stop. However, when Flaffy stopped, Amphy suddenly released a cry of pain and Tenten gasped.
"What did you do?" Tenten exclaimed. Hinata ignored the girl. "Oi, I'm talking to you, Hyuga!"
"TENTEN, STOP IT!" Lee yelled. Tenten looked at her friend, "She's trying to help you, do not treat those who reach out to you with disrespect. Gai-sensei taught us better than this" Leee saw Tenten sigh and Naruto was wondering just what the hell was going on and who in all that is good and bushy and brow-y was Gai-sensei. Tenten nodded.
"Right, gomen nasai" However, she still didn't receive a reply and Tenten looked to see Hinata gritting her teeth in extreme thought.
'Fever, disease affects body internally, no external changes...main biological malfunction. Is it the same thing...no this one is much more powerful. Milky was still able to produce milk, curdled though. Amphy is barely if completely not able to make electricity...I'm going to need some better medicine then' Hinata said as she went through the list of things she would need for the more potent healing drug.
"I've got it" Hinata said. Tenten gasped.
"You do?" The pre-teen coordinator nodded.
"Hai, but I'm going to need some supplies from Cianwood City, that is where the supplies I am in need of are located" Hinata explained. She quickly went into her phone card and went to the sub-application and texted the list to Naruto's Pokegear. Naruto looked to see the list appear on his Pokegear's screen. "Get those things and then I will be able to help Amphy"
"Naruto-kun, quick we must go to Cianwood" Naruto nodded and followed Lee.
"You sure you'll be okay, Hina-chan?" Naruto asked. Hinata nodded.
"I'll be fine, Naruto-kun" Naruto nodded before Lee was given the Elevator Card from Tenten and the two boys were able to leave the Lighthouse via elevator. After making it to the bottom. Naruto gave Akatsuchi his backpack, his other Pokemon and the Pokedex for safekeeping. He and Lee then ran through the crowd and Naruto took out a Pokeball.
"QUAGSIRE!" Naruto sent out the Mud Fish Pokemon which appeared in a flash of light. Naruto climbed atop his water/ground type and then sweatdropped when he saw Lee jump in and began to swim.
"Come on Quagsire, we gotta keep up. Use Surf and let's go!" Quagsire began to swim quickly, it seemed as if Quagsire's normally slow body was able to become much quicker in water. Suddenly the waves behind Quagsire began to rise, growing higher with each passing moment before a giant wave formed. Naruto then sat atop Quagsire like it were a surfboard while Lee was swimming along side Quagsire on the wave.
"Quag Quagsire?"
"Yeah Bushy Brows, what the hell?" Lee smirked.
"THE FLAMES OF YOUTH SHALL NEVER BE DOUSED!"
Mahogany Town- Team ROOT HQ
The leader of ROOT sat alone in his office before the automatic doors split open and revealed two women dressed in black. The same women that poisoned Amphy.
"I trust that everything went well?" the leader asked. The female perpetrators nodded before pulling off their head masks revealing one to have long red hair and the other had equally long blue hair. The red head's hair was tied into a ponytail which was draped over her left shoulder, while the bluenette had a ponytail which was draped over her right shoulder. These were the twins, admins of ROOT and daughters of the leader himself. Ruby and Sapphire.
"Hai, Tou-sama" they bowed to the violet eyed man before them.
"The experimental poison seems to be working well" Ruby said.
"It worked just as you said it would. The Pokemon is experiencing a high fever along with the fact that it's primary biological function to create high levels of bio-electricity have been nullified" Sapphire added. The leader nodded before he was handed a vial of acid green liquid.
"Excellent work, my children. With this vial we will be able to capture Celebi" the Leader placed the vial within the top left drawer of his desk before turning his attention back on the girls. "Now have there been any news on the legendary beasts?" he asked. Ruby and Sapphire took out a pair of pads from the backpacks on their backs. They tapped the screens and suddenly the inside of the Burned Tower was viewed from two different angles.
"This recording was made yesterday by the cameras we placed at strategic points around the Burned Tower's interior. The beasts, Suicune, Raikou and Entei have returned, but they left as quickly as they came" Ruby said. However, it was then that the video recording reached the area where Naruto, Hinata and Sasuke had come in. The leader paused and tapped the screens of the pads. He then zoomed in on the faces of the children and rotated them around using his hands as the pads were equipped with state of the art sensory technology that allowed for mere hand motions to carry out certain functions. The leader cleaned the image as he improved the resolution before noticing something.
"An Uchiha..." he looked at Sasuke.
"A Hyuga..." he noted the pale blue eyes that were so pale they seemed to appear white so that the Hyuga looked like they had no pupils or irises at all. It was a biological condition, genetic in all Hyugas and could not be fixed. Then the leader focused his violet gaze on the frozen image of Naruto.
"And you are a..." the leader stared for a while before noticing the physical characteristics of the boy. The leader's widened when he saw the resemblance. "IMPOSSIBLE!" Ruby and Sapphire watched their father in confusion.
"Tou-sama what's wrong?"
The Leader ignored his daughters before he took in the fact that the boy had a small red spiral shaped marking on the back of his orange vest causing the leader's eyes to narrow.
"So you're of them too. Plus you are related to him" the Leader growled before glancing up at his daughters who flinched from the sudden movement as well the wild look in their father's violet eyes.
"Find out whatever you can on this boy and I want that done A.S.A.P!" the Leader roared. Ruby and Sapphire gulped, having never seen their father act this way, before complying.
"Hai, Tou-sama" they left the room. The Leader of ROOT gritted his teeth as he went to the bottom right desk drawer and pulled out an old looking newspaper. On the front page was the image of a spiky haired blonde with blue eyes standing next to a red haired girl with grey-green eyes. The newspaper's date was dated thirty years ago.
"If you two had a son...just how strong of a trainer will he be once he unlocks his true potential" the Leader sighed as he continued to stare at the picture. "Even after your alleged disappearances thirty years ago, you both still pose as threats to our organization...to think you two would have a child together. Minato...Kushina, you are truly a threat to ROOT no matter where you are"
(A/N: That's chapter 11. Hope you guys liked it. It's long so you have much to read. Also you get to see a little bit more insight as to what ROOT is planning. Hope you guys liked the chapter and that you approve of Naruto's new sixth Pokemon. He will be getting Umbreon and I hope the little team fued between Eevee and Quilava, who doesn't care, sparked a bit of humour in the story.
Now in the next chapter, after saving Amphy Naruto is greeted by a surprise...two actually. His new friends Lee and Tenten...regular thirteen year olds with a strong connection to Pokemon, right? WRONG! These two are not what they seem to be and with Hinata's third contest coming up in just a matter of days, will she emerge victorious and claim her second ribbon.
Tune in next time for Naruto: Johto Journeys, Chapter 12:Fighting Spirit, Iron Will.
