TITLE: CROSSOVER STYLE: POKEMON JUTSU

A/N: Lookit me; I'm hopping on the Naruto/Pokemon (neither of which I own for the record) crossover bandwagon!

Yes… another new chapter! I'm always on a Pokemon high for two/three weeks whenever a new game or generation comes out. Anyways; over the new few chapters you'll be seeing at least one Legendary and a sneak peek at the Elite Four.

Chapter 20:

Naruto and Sakura had been enjoying their journey through the snow-covered countryside… up until the point where the train came to a screeching halt and the engineer's voice crackled over the intercom.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, "I'm sorry to have to say this but this train will most likely be delayed due to the Pokemon that is currently taking an afternoon nap on the tracks."

With that revelation, multiple windows were opened in the passengers' efforts to discover the identity of the aforementioned road block.

Naruto was one of the ones who wanted to see but all the windows were taken up. So Naruto, being Naruto, forced open the door and ran up to the side of the locomotive with Sakura on his heels, the young lass having undone the red hoodie from around her waist and was now wearing it.

"Holy cow!" he exclaimed as she gasped, "it's an Onix!"

"I'll take care of it," a deep voice came from behind them, startling the two young trainers.

The voice belonged to a tall, well-built man with a shock of white hair pulled into a spiky ponytail. Although, his hair suggested the man was wearing a fright wig instead of said locks being his natural coif. He wore a crimson track suit with white lines running down the sides of the arms and legs with an olive green T-shirt peeking out from his zipped top, white socks, and white and black high tops.

Sakura gasped again, this time is recognition.

"Um… Who are you?"

Sakura punched him over his head.

"Naruto; you dummy! That's Master Jiraiya; one of the Three Great Pokemon Scholars taught by Prof. Sarutobi himself!"

Jiraiya beamed at the praise being put forth.

"I'm flattered that such a cute girl knows of me… but right now, we have bigger fish to fry. Just leave it to me."

With that, he tossed a poke ball.

In a flash of light stood a Pokemon neither Sakura, Naruto, nor most of the people on the train had ever seen before. It was about five feet tall and was basically a large blue frog with a streamlined head and wearing a red scarf. Upon closer inspection, much to some of the passenger's disgust, the scarf was actually it's tongue wrapped around the creature's neck.

"Wh… wh… what Pokemon is that?!" Naruto stammered.

Jiraiya smirked, "this here is Greninja. Now if introductions are out of the way… Greninja: use water shuriken!"

Greninja swung it's arms, throwing the traditional ninja stars only made of water. Splashing upon contact with the rock snake resulted in Onix angrily waking up and attacking!

"Now use scald!" Jiraiya commanded.

The boiling water fired from the frog's jowls slammed into the great stone serpent's face, causing serious pain.

"Now finish it! Power-up punch!"

Greninja formed a fist that seemed to solidify and lunged, slamming the fist into Onix, delivering a nasty uppercut with a cry of "Gre greninja!" that sounded suspiciously like "Shoryuken!" At last Onix crumbled back, slamming into a snowdrift.

Naruto grinned, grabbing his last regular poke ball… only to have his hopes dashed as Jiraiya chucked a heavy ball at the felled beast, claiming Onix as his own.

Naruto wasn't the only one upset. Apparently, Onix snoozing on the rails had flattened them, thereby rending the train unable to pass. The crew called for people to come transport everyone back to the station. Why they waited, people passed the time with Pokemon battles and getting Master Jiraiya's autograph… particularly men who had whipped out copies of the same orange-covered book, praising the man's artistic vision and genius.

Wondering what kind of books such a great man wrote, Sakura stealthily peeked over the shoulders of one of the men… only to have her eyes bug out upon skimming the first few sentences! One of the Three Great Pokemon Scholars… wrote SMUT in his spare time?!

Sakura decided to get her mind of it by joining Naruto in some of the Pokemon battles, resulting in her Nidoran evolving into Nidorina. However, Bulbasaur was adamant about staying Bulbasaur. Naruto understood and accepted his Pokemon's wishes.

"It's okay, buddy. If you don't want to evolve, you don't have to… and I won't force you."

Elsewhere…

A group of people were watching the events through a spy camera.

"Heheheh…" chuckled one, "the plan to stall the train by luring the Onix to the tracks and hitting it with sleep-inducing attacks was a success."

"However…" a woman purred, "the arrival of Master Jiraiya was unexpected, albeit interesting."

The apparent leader, a large well-built man seated upon a steel throne, put his hand to his chin in thought, "hmm… he may prove quite the obstacle in our goal to seize control of the legendary bird of ice, Articuno, as well as cementing our hold over Yuki once and for all."
