Alright so here's the next chapter and honestly it's just more of a wrap up for the whole Mt. Moon thing because honestly this should have been one chapter but I digress. Still like always, I DO NOT own anything of this. Pokémon and Naruto belong to Nintendo and Masashi Kishimoto respectively.

As the battle went on, both Naruto and Green frowned as Beedrill flew past the Raticate while the two Drowzee had a stare off. Beedrill was ecstatic to be free from the Poké Ball and get to fight, unable to fight the gym leader back at Pewter City, still a giant rat would work nicely. Green however was a little worried, due to the fact that she and her Ditty were not all that well trained in actual battle.

Ditty was only used as disguises and getaways... Still she had some potential with her battling styles and seeing her Ditty use a Pound attack on Bill's own Drowzee was a step in the right direction. Behind them was Sandshrew and Riolu, both ready to interfere when they could. "Why are you guys helping us?" the Sandshrew asked confused, not taking his eyes off the battle as Riolu smirked.

"Well we have a bone to pick with these guys... besides, it's the right thing to do..." the blue dog responded as Sandshrew nodded slightly. Well at least they were on the same side... still, it was a little worrying about what this... Team Rocket was doing in Mt. Moon. It was clear they wanted Clefairy and the Moon Stone... but why? What for?

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Raticate letting out a final cry before it was knocked out by the poison from Poison Sting. Meanwhile Green smirked as her Ditty defeated the Drowzee and Naruto smirked, recalling Beedrill while Green did the same for her Ditto.

"We lost to a couple of kids?!" Cassedy screamed out in frustration as Butch growled.

"Why are you kids always getting in our way..." he muttered as Naruto noticed Ash and Brock wrapping up their own battle with a Gust attack from Butterfree, something which Zubat tried to help with. Returning Riolu back in his Poké Ball, he grabbed Sandshrew and channeled his aura to his feet, remaining upright while Green was forced to hold onto a boulder to avoid being swept away.

Still, the blond had to give Ash credit for sending Team Rocket trio into the duo, as he could hear them complaining... wait, hold on...

"We did it" Ash cried out as Brock nodded before he could tell something seemed wrong. "But you know... I can't help but feel like we're forgetting something... Ah, where's Meowth?!" the younger trainer cried as they headed out to find them.

"Huh, where are you going?" Green asked as Naruto was heading the other way, back towards the lit path. Looking back, he smirked and placed Sandshrew down, one that immediately followed Ash and Brock.

"Me? Well someone has to get rid of this light, the Pokémon are being effected by it..." he said as she nodded before following him. As they found some lanterns, Green picked them up to blow out the flames keeping them lit. Naruto however just smashed them with rocks and made sure the flames were out. After a while, Green spoke up.

"You know, you were pretty good out there... I thought you were some idiot that just picked up a Pokémon and had no idea what he was doing" she admitted as Naruto blinked. He wasn't that bad... He ignored Kurama's snickering at the irony of it all... hey, he was more forced to take Riolu... but he didn't really mind it... speaking of which.

"You can come back out Riolu" he said as the blue dog came back out and stretched his body out. "And you know Green, you aren't that bad for a con artist" he replied as she froze and held a bit of nervousness, hiding it behind being offended.

"Excuse me? I'll have you know that I am not a con artist" she said as Naruto smirked.

"A friend told me about a young girl selling Fake Ultra Balls and Super Repels by the caves" he said, remembering what Itachi told him. "She was around thirteen... brown hair, has a Ditto named Ditty and... well there's this" he said as he held up an Ultra Ball that Professor Plum had given him as a "Inspiring young youth" as he put it.

"What does that have to do with anything?" she asked as he smirked.

"Can I buy an Ultra Ball" he asked as she frowned before hesitantly giving him one as he gave her the money to by one. Immediately, he held his Ultra Ball in his left hand and hers in his right. Finding a small bid of water, he dunked them both in, ignoring the nervous look before the design of hers was a bit smudged before wiping them both with his shirt.

While his Ultra Ball was still designed in a black and gold color, hers was ruined, her paint rubbing off and showing the crimson color of a standard Poké Ball. Looking at her with a blunt look, he also spoke one last nail in her coffin.

"I can also use aura to tell if you were lying" he remarked as Kurama snorted.

"You mean using my abilities... you brat, stop stealing my thunder" Kurama complained as Green looked nervous, preparing to make a run for it before Naruto tossed the revealed Poké Ball back to her and continued with another lantern.

"You actually almost got me... if it wasn't for Itachi's warning, you would have... but if you want to sell me some Poké Balls... then I'm sure we can make a deal" he said with a smirk. "I'll even let you keep the extra money for the paint..." he joked as Green glared at him.

First she was caught, proven she was a fraud... was told he could use aura, something that only Pokémon could use... with some acceptations... wait, hold on.

"Y-you're an Aura Guardian?!" she cried out as Naruto nodded, having accepted that as the explanation for his jutsu using aura while she seemed worried. Great, she tried to rip off an Aura Guardian... and worse of all, he was still willing to do business with her, knowing that?

"I don't need you to pity me... Nor do I need you to mock me" she said with anger as he shrugged.

"Trust me, I don't pity you... but you seem like a good person" he said as Riolu seemed confused as she just sighed. Being revealed, she eventually just continued on her own work with the lanterns.

"If you knew, why didn't you say anything to the others... do they know?" she asked as Naruto shook his head.

"I didn't tell them, honestly if you want to scam them, go for it" he said, not really caring. Consider it a life lesson about not buying something that seems too good to be true. green just looked at him conflicted before shrugging. There were more fish in the sea, as they say and having more opportunities at another location...

"Alright, so... what do you want?" she asked as she opened up her saleswoman persona as Kurama sighed at the blonde's attitude towards the con artist. As they talked, they were interrupted by a small sound behind them...

"Say, Brock... what is that stuff anyways" Ash asked as night approached as they were settling for dinner and preparing to get some sleep.

"Oh, this is some Pokémon food, I created it myself" he replied as his Zubat was eating it happily, it tasted much better than the scientist's blood... it was literally the Pokémon food of Arceus...

"Really, can I have a taste?" he asked while reaching for it, only for Zubat to hiss at it, causing the trainer to pull back before said bat went in for seconds. None unworthy shall taste the food of Arceus but him... and whatever Pokémon he has to eventually share it with.

"I don't think Zubat likes to share..." Brock said before he was nuzzled by said bat while Ash just nodded. Yeah, he could keep his little Pokémon food, the trainer would stick with cheeseburgers thank-you very much.

"Still, what about that Sanshrew... and Naruto and Green?" Seymour asked concerned as Misty smirked.

"Naruto can take care of himself... Green should be able to as well..." she said as Clefairy was happily talking with Pikachu. She was also happy to see Sandshrew take some rest... or at least she hoped he was resting...

"Well I guess for now, we should just wait for them to come back... huh, Pikachu?" Ash asked as he noticed Clefairy leaving with Pikachu following behind her. Getting up, the group left to follow the two Pokémon before eventually arriving at a small cave. Entering it, they were shocked to see what looked like a giant boulder in the middle of the large chamber.

"Woah, what's that?" Misty asked as Seymour smiled. Hopeful at what this truly was...

"It's the Moon Stone" he said as he shook with excitement. Finally, he found the Moon Stone. This was amazing... As the large boulder began to shine slightly, the room was filled with several Clefairy that met and greeted the others as the one in the middle placed the stones it was holding in an open area of other, smaller stones.

"So, the Moon Stone really does exist... but what's it used for?" Ash asked, not knowing what it was used for before Pikachu tried to explain. "So... the Clefairy use the Moonstone... and do a little dance?" he asked confused as Pikachu pulled out one of his hairs and held it up.

"Hair...?" Brock muttered as Pikachu placed his palms together and had his head down. "Hair... Prayer?" Brock guessed.

"Oh I get it, the Clefairy pray to the Moon Stone" Ash said as Misty was looking at the different Clefairy dancing around it. Seymour however was crying.

"Oh, how romantic... the Clefairy pray to it... could it be though... that maybe the Clefairy really did come from space... and they rode the Moon Stone to earth?" he mumbled as he was being looked at confused. "Incredible... The Clefairy rode the Moon Stone to earth, and who knows where else it could take them. First to Earth, then to Mars... and then even beyond the stars!" he cried out with tears in his eyes...

"And we lost him..." Misty muttered as he was lost in his own world. Soon enough, a familiar voice spoke up.

"Stars, now that's our cue" Meowth said as he smirked. "We'll spare you twerps the introduction, now hand over the Moon Stone."

"Didn't we get enough of you guys for one day?" Ash asked annoyed as Seymour stood in front of the Moon Stone in an attempt to protect it.

"The Moon Stone belongs... to the Celfairy... it doesn't belong to you thieves..." he said, shaking in fear as Jessie smirked.

"What's that noise?" she taunted as James shook his head.

"I think that's his knees shaking" he added in as Meowth laughed.

"What a weenie!" he cried out in amusement as Seymour was about to charge them before a Raticate appeared between them, followed by another laugh.

"Sorry, Jessie... but we're taking it from here" Cassedy said as she smirked with Butch next to her.

"Cassedy, Broth" Jessie called out to them, ignoring Butch's cry over his name.

"Sorry, but you kids aren't dealing with those clowns anymore" Cassedy said before another arrival appeared.

"Told you we'd find them... wait, what?" Naruto called out confused as he looked at the others... the Rockets looking at him and Green, Riolu next to him while Sandshrew ran up to Clefairy, ready to fight.

"I feel like we're interrupting something..." Green muttered as Naruto rolled his eyes. No shit...

Meanwhile, a certain pink cat Pokémon looked on from a distance with a smirk. Now that she bribed those Clefairy into helping her test Naruto... she was certain that things would work out. It was a simple test. All he needed to do was solve a small mystery of the Moon Stone and by sensing it's energy, he would be one step closer to her Lady Arcades' plan for him...

Not only that, but she'd be one more step closer to her Kurami-Kun. She would admit, she found the idea of a Tailed Beast a bit intimidating... but she could have some fun messing with him when it was time for his little changes... She could see his shocked face now... she would really need a camera. As she thought these things, she was unaware of another arrival.

"Mew... how's the mission-

*Boom*

What the heck is that..." the Pokémon asked her from the shadows before looking at the scene emotionlessly as she turned back before she started to sweat. To best describe the scene was an explosion that rained down Clefairy... pushed Team Rocket... both the duo and trio away... and somehow send Naruto flying into the forest... as well as Destroy the Moon Stone she needed to test the blond. "Well?" the black Pokémon asked as his lone blue eye looked at her as she gulped. This was not the plan, this was not the plan...

"Well... um... Darkrai... I was just minding my own business..."

"I do not believe you" the shadow-like Pokémon said as she coughed nervously as she teleported away. As the shadow Pokémon looked at where she once was, he sighed and shook his head. Honestly, this was the reason he wanted to send someone with her... it always seemed to escalate when she was around...

Alright so this was a little more rushed than normal... but this hopefully brings a cliffhanger to the Mt. Moon thing. Also a brief foreshadowing about Arcades' plans for Naruto and Kurama. So again thanks for reading and have a good night.
