A/N: So, I told you I'm watching the Pokémon episodes as I write this fic. The last episode I watched had Misty's sisters in it. Their voices made my ears bleed. Seriously, avoid that dubbed episode at all costs.

Oh, and something I must say, since I know Konan seems OOC: at the moment, she's not based off of what she's like in the manga NOW. She's based off of Konan during the Great War, and I'm not sure what she acted like. But, I don't think she was completely serious and quiet as she is now. She probably was still a bit like she was as a child, which was happy/friendly/etc. I think she probably got more serious/quiet after Yahiko died, and Nagato went insane.

"Alright, I can clearly tell that you did not rob my store." Kakuzu said, shoving the group out the door.

"Told you, un."

"I'm off to the Pokémon daycare. Goodbye, and keep an eye out for my stolen vacuum."

"Pokémon daycare?" Konan asked.

"They train your Pokémon if you're too busy, or if you just need your Pokémon watched."

"Wow, where is it?"

"It's just south of here."

"Maybe we could go check it out after our gym battle." Konan suggested.

"Sure, why not, un."

"This is the gym?" Deidara asked.

"It looks more like an aquarium." Itachi said.

"Yeah. But, we should check it out anyway, un."

The three of them walked inside, and started wondering if this was actually a gym or not. The inside looked like an aquarium, too.

"No fair, Ash! You shouldn't have gotten that badge, I was going to win!"

"Stop being a baby, Misty. You were the one who was going to lose."

Ash, Misty and Brock came down the hallway, arguing about who would've really won the battle that had just taken place.

"But I'm the gym leader… I should've gotten to decide if you deserved that badge or not…" Misty muttered.

"Hey! You're the gym leader? I challenge you, then!" Konan yelled.

"Um… Who are you?" Misty asked, looking up at her challenger.

"Oh, hey! Misty, that's Konan. Konan, this is Misty." Ash said.

"You know her?" Misty asked.

"I do, too." Brock announced. "She battled me in Pewter City."

"Oh. Did she win?"

"Yeah. She's a good trainer."

"And she has a shiny Pokémon!" Ash added.

"Really? What kind?" Misty asked.

"A Nagato." Konan told her.

"Oh, really? Well… I guess I'll battle you, but my Pokémon need to rest. How does tomorrow sound?"

"Alright. Here?"

"Yeah. First thing in the morning!"

The next morning:

"How do you think you'll do today, un?" Deidara asked.

"I think I'll do fine… If Ash can beat her, I think I can, too."

"I'll battle her after."

"That sounds good. Where are we headed to after that?"

"I think we have to get through Rock Tunnel…" Deidara muttered, looking down at a map of the area.

"I hear it's pitch black in there. We'll need a light."

"Charmander, un…"

"Do you think it's bright enough?"

"Should be."

"What if it's not?"

"I don't know, un. We'll do something else."

"This would be easier if Itachi was here… I wonder where he went."

"I wish he'd stop disappearing and coming back, un. It's annoying. Next time he shows up, screw him. We won't let him come with us."

"It's kind of hard to stop him from following us."

"Oh, I'll stop him, un. I'll stop him."

"H-how?"

"Explosions can leave a path impassable."

"Oh… I'm not sure that's a great idea."

"Sure it is, un."

Deidara put the map back in his bag when they arrived at the gym. After getting lost in the aquarium for a few minutes, they managed to find Misty in the battle arena. The arena had a large pool in the middle, with floating platforms for Pokémon who couldn't swim.

"It took you guys long enough." Misty said.

"Well, our friend disappeared without telling us. We're late because we were out looking for him."

"Oh. Well, let's get the battle started. You choose your Pokémon first." Misty instructed, taking her place on the far side of the pool. "It's a two-on-two battle!"

"Who are you going to pick?" Deidara asked.

"I don't know…"

"You don't know, un? You didn't plan this out?"

"Well, Squirtle would have an easier time in the water, but I wanted to pick a Pokémon with a different type."

"So… you're a grass type, right?"

"I know I'll go in for battle when my first Pokémon faints, but who should I pick as my first Pokémon?"

"She's not so tough! Pick your weakest Pokémon so it can get some experience!" Ash yelled.

"Ash! Be quiet!"

Deidara and Konan looked up at the stands to see Ash sitting in the front row.

"Trust me; she's an easy gym leader!"

"Ash, you didn't even win! Don't say that!" Misty yelled.

"This badge says I did." Ash teased, holding up his cascade badge.

"Well, if you want your weakest Pokémon out, I think that'd be Nagato, un."

Konan glared at Deidara, annoyed at his assumption.

"What? Yahiko-san isn't your weakest! Squirtle probably isn't, either! So that leaves Nagato! I'd tell you to send out Metapod, but I don't think it would do well…"

Konan released all of her Pokémon to decide. They looked at her, slightly confused as to why they had been called out.

"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Misty asked, pointing at Yahiko-san.

"Huh? Oh, that's a Yahiko-san."

Misty pulled out her pokédex to learn more about her possible opponent.

Name: Yahiko-san

Species: leader

Type: Normal

Evolutionary chain: Evolved form of Yahiko. Evolves into Pein.

Yahiko-san are loyal to a fault. They have even been known to sacrifice themselves for the wellbeing of their trainer or fellow Pokémon.

"I'm telling you, choose your weakest Pokémon!" Ash yelled.

"Well… He does need some experience…" Konan muttered, looking at Nagato.

"Then go for it. If you lose, we can come back later and try again." Deidara pointed out.

"Alright! Go, Nagato!"

Nagato hesitated before jumping out to one of the floating platforms. He stumbled a bit as the platform adjusted to his weight. Konan's other Pokémon gathered behind her to watch the battle.

"That's your shiny Pokémon, right?" Misty asked.

"Yeah."

"Go, Staryu!" Misty yelled, sending her Pokémon into the water. "Use Tackle!"

Nagato sidestepped the flying star-shaped Pokémon, watching carefully when it came back for another try. After being sidestepped again, Staryu landed back in the water.

"Confusion!" Konan yelled.

Nagato struggled to start the attack, trying to control his psychic abilities.

"Water gun!"

Nagato was hit by the blast, knocking him into the pool. He surfaced, only to be pulled back under by Staryu.

"Staryu, use Swift!"

Nagato broke free of Staryu and turned just in time to be hit in the face by Swift. He started swimming up to the surface after the attack, but Staryu stopped him again.

"Tackle, Staryu!"

Nagato winced when Staryu smashed into his chest, sending him back to the bottom of the pool. He felt as though his chest was on fire at this point. He darted up toward the floating platform, only to be dragged back once more. He was getting dizzy now; the lack of oxygen was getting to him.

"Nagato, use Extrasensory!"

"Don't let him attack, Staryu!"

Panic always seemed to give Nagato strength, and this was no exception. His eyes glowed, energy building up inside of him. Staryu flew into his stomach, forcing out what little air he had. He tried to breathe, but choked on the water instead. The energy he had been preparing burst out of him, and the pool seemed to explode. Water rushed out, flooding the gym. Everyone stood their ground, refusing to be moved by the torrent.

Seconds later, the chaos stopped as quickly as it had started, the water settling down. Most of it fell back into the pool, while the rest left the gym soaked. Squirtle looked down at Nagato, who had passed out at the bottom of the pool. He dove in, pulling the unconscious Pokémon back to the surface. Yahiko-san picked Nagato up and put him down on the floor before shaking him awake. Nagato choked, water gushing from his mouth. Konan looked over at Misty, who was kneeling next to her Staryu. Staryu had fainted after Nagato's outburst.

"I-I think… Maybe we should stop and try tomorrow?" Misty asked, looking around the gym.

"That'd probably be a good idea." Deidara muttered, wringing out his hair.

"So, this place is a daycare?" Deidara asked, looking up at the large building.

"I think so. If this map is right…"

Deidara and Konan wandered into the building, and noticed an old man standing behind a counter.

"Hello there!" The man said.

"Um… Is this the Pokémon daycare?" Konan asked.

"Indeed it is!"

"Great!"

"We can take care of two of your Pokémon at a time, and you can pick them up whenever you like! Here, take a look at our brochure!"

"Hey… You can train our Pokémon here?" Konan asked, noticing something on the pamphlet.

"Why, yes we can! What kind of Pokémon did you have in mind?"

"I have a Nagato-"

"Who can't control his psychic abilities?" The man interrupted.

"How'd you know?"

"We get that here quite often. You'd be surprised."

"Oh… Well is there any way-"

"Yes, there is. May I see him?"

Konan pulled out Nagato's Pokéball and released him.

"Ah, this one's a shiny Nagato!" The man said.

"Yes."

"I never thought I'd see one in my lifetime… Well, how long is he going to stay with us?"

"How long would you recommend?"

"Hm… How about a few days?"

"You can train him in a few days?" Konan asked.

"Yes, we can. Is there any other Pokémon you'd like to leave with us?"

"I don't think so…"

"What about your Metapod, un?" Deidara asked. "You could leave it here for a while, too."

"Great idea!"

"Well, just hand over your Pokémon, and we'll be off."

"What the heck are we supposed to do for a few days?" Deidara asked. "What's 'a few days' anyway? Three? Four, un?"

"I think he said three days."

"What are we going to do for three days?"

"You could go get your gym badge… And I could train, I guess."

"I've never seen you battle, un." Deidara noticed. "It's too bad you didn't battle Misty when Nagato fainted. I bet you would've won, since you're a grass type, un."

"We could train together if you want."

"When?"

"How about now? We could have dinner after."

"So what do you have in mind, un?"

"Battling each other. I know you're strong in Pokémon form, since I've watched you battle. I want to see how well I do."

"Alright, un."

"Ready?" Deidara asked.

"When you are."

"…GO!"

Deidara spit out a bird almost immediately, and looked up to see that Konan was in the process of splitting into thousands of little sheets of paper. They rushed toward him, but Deidara flew up on his bird before they could hit. The paper followed, going even faster by following the bird's path. Deidara released smaller, faster birds from his hands, detonating them in the middle of the paper cloud. The paper scattered, surrounding the bird. Deidara dove down to avoid being caught in the middle.

"How the heck are you going to fight in that water gym if you're made of paper the whole time, un?" Deidara yelled.

Konan seemed to respond to that, regrouping just behind Deidara's bird. The mass of paper came together to become Konan once again. She grabbed the collar of Deidara's cloak, yanking him toward the back of his clay creation. Deidara turned to fight, but was caught off guard by Konan's next move.

She grabbed his chin, pulling him closer. Deidara froze when he felt Konan's lips crash against his. It seemed like an accident at first, but it only took a few seconds to realize it wasn't. Deidara lost control of his bird, letting it spiral down to the ground. Konan pulled away and jumped off, watching Deidara hit the ground. He sat there for a few seconds, unsure of what to do. He narrowed it down to barfing, or yelling.

Yelling seemed more practical.

"W-wha… WHAT THE HELL, UN?"

"What?"

"What kind of cheap trick was that?"

"Trick? It was a Pokémon move, genius."

"Liar! Since when is that a Pokémon move?"

Deidara flinched when his pokédex answered his question.

"Sweet kiss! This move will leave opponents confused if it hits."

"…Sweet kiss…?"

"Told you."

A/N:

R.I.P: My OTP.

Cause of death: Beaten to death by the mass amount of DeiKonan in the last scene.

Um… Anyway, who wants to see the Pokémon movies adapted into this fic? I mean, I'd have to figure out where on the Pokémon timeline they took place, but I think it'd work. You know, Pokémon: the first movie, Mewtwo returns, ETC.
