Masterquest has been a story that I have loved far more then I thought and put much time into so I'm glad it's getting a lot of love, but maybe the haters can calm down and just enjoy the story if not go somewhere else. This is my story if you don't like it don't read it also this will be the final part for this arc I guess and we can resume what Naruto was doing before his stop on the islands and that would be finishing the tournament and of course I'm going to throw something in here so that it draws some mystery.
Chapter 14: The Uzumaki Cruise part 5
"Now Blaze use Thunder Punch," Naruto watched as his Pokémon roared into the air dodging the mega punch before landing a devastating electric punch to the charging primeape who had wide eyes being shocked before falling down, swirls in its eyes.
"Primeape is unable to battle and therefor the winner of the match goes to Naruto," Shin said as he sighed knowing that was the final battle for today.
"Good job Blaze you did amazing today," Naruto said as his fire type nuzzled into him for affection, before clapping caught his attention and he turned serious as he turned towards the elders with one of them walking up to him.
"Good job young Namikaze so far you have been able to defeat every trainer on board surprising not only them, but us as well," the elder said as he stared at Naruto with his keen eyes.
"Thanks, but to be honest it was all my Pokémon's doing," Naruto said smiling at his Charizard who hummed at the praise.
"Be that as it may be you still have one challenge left," The elder then waved his hand as a certain red head came up to stand next to the elder.
"So Ren your my final challenge," Naruto said.
"Yeah who would've thought the young kid I knew back then would turn into such a fierce trainer," REN said showing his smile ready for the challenge.
"Sometimes I can surprise, but you remember the deal old man if I win you forget about me and tell no one not even my parents," Naruto said with clear distrust.
"Ah yes and if you should lose your journey to the Kalos region shall be swift," He said with a challenging smile.
"Guess I'll see you tomorrow then," Naruto with the same challenging smirk walked away with Blaze to get healed and some good rest.
Up above in the stands as people were talking and conversing one person was just glaring with a hate filled stare as he looked at the retreating form of Naruto gripping the metal bars before letting go and walking off to sulk in his room. Zach Uzumaki now former was angry and filled with nothing, but anger, rage, and a sense of vengeance on the lost Namikaze one who ruined his life and had taken the one thing that made him who he is. He would pay dearly and oh would he make it so as he gained and evil smile before locking his door and making sure everything was secure, before grabbing a small disk from under his bed as he pressed a button and a light lit up showing static before it cleared up and a person was seen on the other side.
"You were right Ren and Namikaze will face each other tomorrow as the final match," Zach said.
"As I suspected the Uzumaki were always arrogant and thinking they could end him with one of their top elites is laughable," the voice distorted was male, but had a dark tone to his voice.
"Yes they are the elders more then anyone," Zach said always viewing everybody as weak till this man showed up and showed his power.
"Yes now you know the plan," the man said.
"Yes cause a small problem with the engines thus stalling them and forcing them to stay rooted in the middle of nowhere allowing you and your team to come and ambush them," Zach said.
"Yes and my team is prepared for all their Pokémon as they gave away most of their aces during it," the man said.
"Then can I be apart of your team," Zach asked with hope.
"If all goes according to plan you may just be Team Rocket material," The man said coming slightly into the light showing the large red R on his shirt.
"And my revenge on Namikaze will be all so sweet," Zach said as he ended transmission before going to prepare for tomorrow's events.
Next Morning
Naruto once again opened his eyes as he had the light of the morning sun peering through with him sitting up and stretching as he looked around as all his Pokémon laying down all fast asleep after their big supper last night which put a smile on his face as he looked at Z who was sleeping on one of the beams with Kurama sleeping on Blaze's stomach as they looked like father and son as he got up and made his way to the bathroom making sure not to disturb the sleeping Pokémon. Though once he exited from his long shower he found all his Pokémon up and moving about with Z being the one to make sure they were all clean and ready.
"You didn't have to do that Z," Naruto said.
"Ah, but this is our last day on this cruise and I wouldn't want you worrying much of if everyone wasn't ready," Z said.
"So you think I'll win today," Naruto said with a raised eyebrow.
"If you keep calm and don't try to push you and the others to much yeah I think you have a chance," She said as Naruto laughed before grabbing his clothes to change into.
After they were all ready Z returned back into her pokeball as he took his Pokémon to the dining room where everyone was already their and eating, but most of them stopped and stared at him as he walked to the buffet and started to grab himself and his other Pokémon some food, but as he sat down at his table did others join him ones he knew all to well.
"How are you doing this fine morning Naruto," Sydney said with a big smile.
"I'm doing quiet well though why are you guys here with me," Naruto asked.
"Well since it's the last day of this cruise battle and we will be returning most of the trainers and people back home we thought we'd hang with you," Tanner said.
"What you don't believe Ren will beat me and drag me home," Naruto said curios at their thoughts.
"Well we cant determine the outcome of a battle until its final moments and you have shown that very well," Astra said causing Naruto to smile a little.
"Besides don't think I'll go easy on you, because we're family," REN said walking up to them.
"Wouldn't want it any other way"
Upper Deck
"Alright people this is the last battle of this Tournament in which the challenger REN Uzumaki vs Naruto will take place and unlike the other ones which have been three on three this one will be a full six on six battle with the winner being crown when the other has no more Pokémon to substitute," Shin said knowing this would be unlike any of the other battles as he could tell the two were going to enjoy this way to much and the ship might not be able to handle it.
"I hope you give me your all Ren," Naruto said as he stood in his side pokeball in hand.
"Oh trust me you'll get my best. MAROWAK GO!" Ren then sent out his Pokémon which was a small brown lizard with small little claws and a large club that it swung around, but the main feature was the skull on its face giving it a menacing vibe.
"So Marowak alright then let's show them what we got Leo," Naruto then sent out his trusty water turtle who cried out ready for battle.
"Gonna go at me with type advantage," Ren said tasing an eyebrow.
"You can say that, but also Leo wanted more action," Naruto said as the two prepared.
"If both trainers are ready let the match….BEGIN!"
"Leo use Water Gun"
"Blow through it with Iron Head" the two Pokémon then thrusted their attacks with Leo shooting a stream of water as Marowak rushed in with its bone head taking a metallic look smashing right through the attack, before smashing into Leo who went sailing back.
"Leo you okay," Naruto asked his Pokémon who quickly jumped up and gave a thumbs up to him as he smiled back.
"Marowak don't let him recover move in and use Bone Club," Marowak then rushed in again as Leo started to duck and weave with each swing on that mighty club as Marowak kept pressing on.
"Leo quick Gyro Ball," then Leo pulled all his appendages into his shell before spinning at a fast rate blocking the next club as Marowak was thrown back a little, but that small moment of hesitation allowed Leo to go in and strike sending Marowak tumbling back.
"Marowak you okay," Ren asked as his Pokémon jumped back up looking angered as he gave a smile."Good now go in and use Brick Break," his Pokémon then rushed in hand glowing.
"Leo meet him head on with Gyro Ball," once again his Pokémon spun rapidly flying towards the Marowak as the two clashed, but Leo got pushed back, before Marowak used its club to send Leo flying.
"Now use Smackdown," Marowak then materialized a large stone in its palm before throwing it and hitting it with its club as it smashed into Leo who stopped its Gyro ball only to cry in pain from the rock being thrown.
"Leo NO!"
"Now use Flamethrower," Marowak then unleashed a torrent of flames at the falling Water type.
"Leo use Rapid Spin to block the flames," Naruto then watched as his Pokémon once again went inside its shell before spinning rapidly only this time not taking on a metal shine as it smashed into the flames rushing through them thanks to the falls momentum.
"Marowak don't let up,"
"Now Leo use Headbutt," Naruto waited till he saw Marowak flinch before calling the move as the ground type stopped releasing flames only for Leo to rush in and smash its head into him sending him flying back as he struggled to get up.
"Marowak come on get up bud"
"Leo now use Water Pulse," Leo opened its mouth as a ball of water concentrated their before he fired it as it hurled in the air before colliding with the downed Marowak who had wide eyes before being hit as it was sent flying back landing in front of its trainer swirls in its eyes.
"Marowak is unable to battle," Shin said.
"Alright we got the first win Leo," Naruto said jumping with joy as his water Pokémon jumped into his arms happily with Ren returning his Pokémon.
"Good job Marowak you did good. I gotta day Naruto your Pokémon are something else, maybe I should've battled you sooner," Ren said.
"Then we wouldn't be having the stakes as high as they are," Naruto said setting his Pokémon down.
"True, but right now those stakes are far from my mind as this battle is all I care about now let's take this into the air," Ren then sent out his next Pokémon which was out swooped down and raced past Naruto who looked up as the flying bird hovered in the air behind him before going and landing in front of its trainer as Naruto raised his pokewatch.
Swellow(Normal/Flying) the swallow Pokémon and the evolved form of Tailow
Swellow flies high above our heads making arcs as it flies. This Pokémon dives at a steep angle as soon as it spots its prey. The hapless prey is tightly grasped by the swellow's clawed feet, preventing escape.
"So your gonna try to get me from the air I see," Naruto said looking into Ren's determined eyes.
"Yup and my buddy Swellow here has helped me throughout my journey including in Hoenn," Ren said as he gave his bird a large smile.
"Well guess if it's an air battle you want its one you'll get, Leo take some rest for now. Tahlia let's wing it," Naruto returned his Squirtle before sending out his own flying bird which cried out ready to battle as Swellow flew up meeting it up in the air as the two had a stare down.
"So it's an air battle huh well then let's see which of us has the better flying type," Ren said as he and Naruto gave each other challenging smirks just as their birds.
"Now Tahlia move in and use Steel wing"
"Meet him head on with your own Steel wing"
The two birds then spun around before flying at each other their wings taking a metallic shine as they clashed against each other, before circling around and clashing once again as they showed that both their moves were basically even.
"Swellow quick back off and use Double Team"
"Tahlia don't let purse with Quick Attack," Naruto told his Pokémon who in a blur flew towards his fellow bird, but was not quick enough as multiple Swellow appeared as Tahlia flew through one.
"Now use Air Slash," All the Swellow then raised their wings which started to form blue orbs of wind before they threw it at the single Tahlia.
"Double Team now Tahlia then move around with Quick Attack," Tahlia cawed our it's name before multiple of her appeared and she started to fly around in quick motion with some of them being dispelled with the air slash.
"Damn guess we're gonna have to do this up close. Swellow go move in and use Wing attack," Swellow then started to fly around the air going through each Tahlia, before its eyes met one specific one and Swellow charged right at her.
"Tahlia meet him head on with Wing attack" the two birds clashed once again showing that they were once again even.
"Now Swellow use Air slash and get in close with Quick attack and use Pluck," his bird then created another ball of wind before hurling it and moving in a blur towards Tahlia with its beak extending in white energy.
"Tahlia use Detect and counter with Peck," Naruto called out as his bird had its eyes turn red before ducking the air slash and having its own beak grow before starting a battle of beaks with Swellow as the two tried to take the other out.
"Don't underestimate my Swellow because he'll show you why he's fierce," Ren said as Swellow increased its speed almost being a blur as Tahlia started to revive more damage then it could deal.
"Tahlia quick use Detect," once again Tahlia had red in her eyes before dodging the attacks as she suddenly got above Swellow and slammed it to the ground with its metallic wings.
"Swellow you okay," As his Pokémon nodded.
"Quick before it gets up Tahlia use Steel Wing," Naruto said as he saw his chance and so did Tahlia as she dived down wings metallic as she flew towards Swellow with Ren smirking.
"Now Swellow use Reversal," He called out as Naruto widen his eyes.
"Tahlia quick Detect," Naruto said, but Tahlia had no red eye glow as her and his eyes widen realizing they overused it and thus she flew right into Swellow who used his legs to grab onto her wings and spun her around, before slamming her into the ground hard as she cried out in pain and Swellow flew up.
"Now time to end this Swellow Brave Bird," Swellow then flew higher before being enveloped in a blue fire as it came flying down and heading straight for Tahlia who tried to get up with Naruto looking on worried thinking of something before an idea popped into his head just as Swellow was about to collide with Tahlia.
"Quick Tahlia Mirror Move," Suddenly her eyes snapped open as she ducked under the burning bird and used her legs to grab onto Swellow surprising him and REN who had wide eyes, before he was hit with Reversal.
"SWELLOW!"
"Now Mirror Move once more," Tahlia then become engulfed in fire only this one was gold to match with her fur as she dived down and collided with the still dazed Swellow causing a massive explosion.
"Swellow is unable to battle," Shin said after seeing Swellow on the ground with swirls in its eyes.
"Never day it's over till the final move is made and Tahlia showed you first hand how that's true," Naruto said as Tahlia cried out agreeing with her trainer.
"You know I expected much, but at least we gave you a run for you money," Ren said with a big smile as he returned his Pokémon.
"Tahlia can sure agree with that, but for now she's gonna take a rest," Naruto then returned his bird upon seeing the after effects of Brave bird.
"Well then who will you use in her place then," Ren questioned.
"Bolt light things up," Naruto then sent out his lightning Pokémon.
"Ha, should've guessed he is one of your strongest, but I'm enlightened you decided to use him against me," Ren said with a small smirk.
"Like I said before you have something in you I rarely see in people so I'm giving you something more in return," Naruto said.
"Then I'll give my all as well. MANETRIC GO!" Ren then sent out his Pokémon which was on all fours as electricity bounced off it with the fur around its head, front paws, and back yellow and shining on the light.
"A Manetric haven't seen one of those in a while," Naruto then raised his poke watch.
Manetric(Electric) The Discharge Pokemon
Manetric is constantly discharging electricity from its mane. The sparks sometimes ignited forest fires. When it enters a battlefield, this Pokémon creates thunderclouds.
Naruto found that last info curios as he looked at the growling wolf who bowled into the sky as the sound of thunder could be heard with some clouds becoming darker and denser. With Bolt growling as well knowing this will be an interesting match for him.
"Well then let us see who has the superior electric type," Ren said.
"Does it always have to be a competition, because we both know I will win this…again," Naruto said knowing he had a huge advantage with beating two of his Pokémon, but didn't fully believe he had won as he felt something was different with his Manetric.
"We shall see now Manetric Quick Attack," Ren said as his Pokémon then blurred away heading straight for Bolt.
"Bolt meet him head on with your own Quick attack," the two clashed in the middle as they jumped away only to clash once again.
"Manetric Thunder Fang"
"Bolt quick Double Kick"
Manetric then opened its mouth as electricity coursed through it only for a kick to the face to shut it up as another one send it tumbling back.
"Don't let him recover Bolt use spin Missile," Bolt quickly turned around and fired small white needles.
"Flamethrower now Manetric," Ren called out as his Pokémon quickly found its footing and fired a stream of fire burning the pin Missile and heading straight for Bolt who jumped out of the way, but got a slight singe on its side as it flinched.
"Bolt you okay," Naruto asked as his Pokémon nodded shaking off the attack.
"Don't forgot about us Quick attack," Manetric then slammed into Bolt as it cried out in pain.
"Bolt no,"
"Don't let up use Thunder Fang," Manetric then rushed at Bolt with its fangs lighting up.
"Quick Bolt use Discharge," Bolt then released lightning from its body as it struck Manetric, but it didn't stop him as he kept running at Bolt making Naruto's eyes widen before Manetric bit Bolt causing him to howl more as he kicked Manetric away before retreating back to gain some distance.
"Nice try Naruto, but thanks to Manetric's ability Lightning Rod he absorbs all lightning attacks into him and raises his powers," Ren said as blue energy courses through Manetric.
"Well then I guess me using Bolt against you is a bad idea," Naruto said as Bolt tried to stand up only for it to flinch as electricity courses around it.
"Seems it's been paralyzed as well," Ren said with a big smile as Naruto sighed knowing it was a one in ten chance that would happen.
"Bolt return for now I'm going to try something," Naruto said as he returned his Pokémon knowing he would be sad about not helping him, but right now he needed someone whose moves wouldn't help Manetric.
"Good call though I thought you would let your Pokémon continue fighting," Ren asked.
"True I would've, but at this moment Bolt will be getting more damaged and I don't want that to happen so your Pokémon will have to deal with King," Naruto then sent out his poison pin Pokémon as he roared out ready for battle.
"Ha, I knew you would bring him out. Manetric return for now," Ren then returned his Pokémon as Naruto grew curios.
"Who you sending out now," Naruto asked as Ren just smirked.
"Nidoqueen stand by," Ren then sent out his large blue Pokémon that looked almost like King only blue, bigger, and with a attitude as Nidoqueen looked down at King with a sneer making King growl in anger.
"Calm King just because she's bigger doesn't mean we can't take her," Naruto said.
"Oh you'll see how tough my Nidoqueen can be now go in and use Thunder Punch," Ren said as his Pokémon quickly charged at King.
"Quick King Dig," Naruto said as his Pokémon started to go underground dodging the oncoming attack.
"Sorry, but that strategy won't work on me. Nidoqueen use Earth Power," Nidoqueen stopped in her charge as she raised her fist and slammed it into the ground as power surged through it and King was flung up screaming in pain.
"KING!"
"Now Thunder Punch," Ren then watched as Nidoqueen smashed her lightning covered fist into King sending it flying back.
"King you okay," Naruto said as he saw his Pokémon stand up with some effort, but nodded back an okay.
"We ain't done yet Nidoqueen Surf," His pokemon then started to ride a giant wave of water as it headed straight for King.
"King go straight through it with Drill Run," King then started to spin rapidly as he flew in and smashed the wave apart as Nidoqueen had wide eyes before crashing into the ground.
"Nidoqueen quick get up"
"Now Smart Strike," King then used the momentum to propel himself towards Nidoqueen hitting her directly in the chest with his metal horn.
"Grab him and use Seismic toss," Nidoqueen then opened its eyes as she bear hugged king, before jumping up and throwing King down as he slammed into the ground.
"King you gotta get up and use Drill Run"
"Nidoqueen stop him with Mega Kick," Nidoqueen then used the momentum to slam on top of King who was about to jump up, but was stomped into the ground as dust was everywhere as it disappeared just as it came with Nidoqueen standing over a barely conscious King who was struggling to get up.
"KING!" Naruto yelled worry in his voice as he saw that his Pokémon was on his last legs.
"I think it's time to end Nidoqueen use Thunder Punch," Ren said as he also saw that his Pokémon was not gonna be able to last. Nidoqueen then raised her fist as it lit up with lightning before going in for the finishing blow.
"KING WATCH OUT!" Naruto yelled as his Pokémon just stood their before it looked up and jumped dodging the punch as Nidoqueen had wide eyes, before King raised his Horn which started to spin and grow just as he struck Nidoqueen on the head who roared in pain for a few seconds and falling over with swirls in her eyes.
"What the?" Ren has wide eyes at what just happened along with everybody including Naruto, before his poke watch dinged as he looked down at it.
New Move learned: Horn Drill
"Horn drill? King you learned a new move that's AWESOME!" Naruto with so much excitement said as King looked over smiling, before it fell down as Naruto got scared and rushed over seeing it was unconscious.
"It would seem both Pokémon are unable to battle," Shin said nothing King was fast asleep.
"You did good King I'm so proud of you get a good long rest," Naruto returned his Pokémon knowing he had done enough.
"Good job Nidoqueen you did we just didn't expect that from him," Ren said as he returned his Pokémon, before looking at Naruto."I gotta day your Pokémon really pull off some impress moves in mid battle especially your King," Ren was impressed by his Pokémon as that was the second time he had seen it either use an unexpected move or show off its capability.
"What can I say they get it from the best," Naruto said taking the compliment to his head a little to much.
"Don't start getting cocky on me yet, because the fun is getting heated up," Ren then sent out his next Pokémon as it smashed its massive hands into the ground shaking the ship a little.
Dar Darmanitan
"Woah that's one wild Pokémon," Naruto said raising his poke watch.
Darmanitan(Fire) Standard Form The Blazing Pokemon
It's infernal Fire burns at 2,500 F, making enough power that it can destroy a dump truck with one punch.
"You better not go easy against Dar here, because he's got one bad attitude problem," Ren said as his Pokémon pounded the ground agreeing with his trainer.
"Oh trust me I won't, now Leo stand by," Naruto then sent out his blue turtle once again as it called out it's name ready for battle.
"I knew you'd use him. Darmanitan use Flame Charge," Ren said as his Pokémon quickly started to charge in body a Blaze.
"Put him out with Water Gun," Leo then shot off a stream of water.
"Quick dodge," Darmanitan started to jump around still on fire as he kept jumping around the blast of water.
"Don't think you can keep this up forever Leo Water Pulse"
"Oh we don't plan to now Darmanitan use Hammer arm on the ground," Ren called out as his Pokémon stopped and rasies its fist which flowed white growing a little before slamming them into the already broken ground as rocks blocked the water pulse.
"Quick Leo jump up and use Water Gun," Naruto said as his Pokémon quickly used the rocks for leverage and jumped up only to come face to face with Darmanitan shocking both him and Naruto.
"Can't get is that easily now Brick Break," Darmanitan then slammed its glowing hand into Leo sending him crashing into the ground. "Now go in and use Flame Charge"
"Leo quick use Gyro Ball," Naruto said as Leo quickly started to spin just as the flaming Pokémon slammed into him sending his shell flying back, before he stopped himself.
"Now shoot Water Gun into the smoke," Leo then started to spray water into the smoke hoping to hit Darmanitan.
"Sorry, but can't hit what you can't see now Darmanitan use Hammer arm," suddenly from below Leo Darmanitan came out and smashed its fist into him sending him flying back.
"LEO!"
"Now Flame Charge," Darmanitan then rushes towards Leo who couldn't do nothing mid flight so he was slammed into as he went crashing into the ground swirls in his eyes.
"Leo is unable to battle," Shin said seeing that the battle was kinda one sided.
"Told you my Darmanitan was wild," Ren said.
"Yeah I guess I shouldn't have thought less on it. Good job Leo you gave it your best," Naruto said knowing his Pokémon felt bad for losing a clear advantage. "He's smart using flame charge right after hammer arm to basically negate the affects of it." Naruto found it smart on his part and understood why he was a strong as he was today.
"So you ready for another round Naruto," Ren said giving a smirk.
"You might've knocked out another of my Pokémon, but your still down by one," Naruto said.
"Oh don't worry I'll catch up," Ren said confident in his words.
"We'll see now Tahlia let's go," Naruto then sent out his bird Pokémon once again as she cried out ready for battle.
"So sending out her again thought you would send out someone fresh," Ren said.
"Yeah, but I thought maybe that last battle wore down your Darmanitan," Naruto said with a small smirk.
"Oh you think well then why don't we show him Darmanitan use Flame Charge"
"Tahlia fly up," Naruto said as Tahlia flew up a little bit dodging Darmanitan jumping up and trying to hit Tahlia.
"You can't stay up their forever," Ren said.
"He's right Tahlia can't keep flying, because it'll drain her and Darmanitan can't just sit still waiting for her," Naruto thought.
"If you won't make a move then I will use Flamethrower," his Pokémon then let loose a torrent of fire as Tahlia quickly evaded.
"I guess if you wanna do it that way Tahlia go in with Double Team and use Wing attack," Tahlia then dived down multiplying herself as Darmanitan couldn't figure out which one was real and so was hit from behind, before another hit sent him flying back.
"Darmanitan you okay," Ren said worry as his Pokémon jumped up looking just as fine.
"Tahlia now use Double team again, but go in with Steel wing," Tahlia did the same thing again only this time her wings became steel as Darmanitan looked around as all the Tahlia flew around him.
"Don't worry now use Gyro Ball," Darmanitan then started to spin around rapidly as all the clone Tahlia tried to hit him, but only one bounced off as she cried out in pain.
"Tahlia no"
"Now Smackdown," Darmanitan then stopped as rocks formed around him, before they combined and were sent flying hitting Tahlia who crashed into the ground.
"Tahlia quick get up," Naruto said, but Tahlia was to dazed from the attack.
"Now Flame Charge," Darmanitan then rushed in fire a blaze smashing into Tahlia in a blur sending her flying back with swirls in her eyes.
"Tahlia is unable to battle," Shin called out.
"Sorry, but even if you hit us from the air we still have a counter," Ren said.
"Sorry Tahlia I thought it would work, but good try. Guess I'm going to have to rethink some things….or I can wing it Kurama let's go," Naruto then sent out his trusty fox Pokémon who growled at his opponent.
"Kursk? I thought you would've gone with Blaze or maybe Uza," Ren asked finding it weird he wouldn't send out one of his stronger Pokémon after having two of his go down.
"Trust me Kurama and me can handle it," Naruto said as his fox nodded.
"Well if you say so Flame Charge"
"Kurama meet him head on with your own Flame Charge," the two Pokémon then raced towards each other both a blaze with flames as they clashed being thrown back at equal force, but Kurama being the smaller of the two was thrown farther back as they both got back up and continued their clash.
"Now Darmanitan use Hammer arm"
"Block it with Fire Blast,"
The two attacks collided with Darmanitan being sent back as it tried to shake the feeling out only for it to grunt as Kurama came speeding out hitting him with a flame charge.
"Darmanitan quick grab it and use Seismic toss," Darmanitan then used the momentum to bear hug Kurama, before jumping up.
"Kurama Confuse Ray," Kurama then opened its mouth as small gold lights circled around them with Darmanitan looking at them confused, before his eyes became confused as he let go of Kurama finding everything was not right.
"Darmanitan snap out of it," Ren with wide eyes knew his Pokémon was in trouble.
"Now use Iron Tail to send him packing," Kurama then spun around before hitting Darmanitan in the head as he went sailing down crashing into the ground as he gave a small whine.
"Darmanitan you okay," Ren then saw his Pokémon get up slowly having been free of the confusion.
"Now Kurama Flame Charge," Naruto said as Kurama used the momentum to go diving towards Darmanitan who only had time to look up as he crashed into him sending him even further into the ground as Kurama jumped out of it with a smirk as Darmanitan tried to get up only to fall back down with swirls in his eyes.
"Darmanitan is unable to battle," Shin said.
"Guess the odds are now in my favor," Naruto said with a smirk.
"Oh trust me they won't be for long. Now let's- BOOM," suddenly Ren was caught off as a massive explosion rocketed the ship causing everyone to turn towards the back where smoke could be seen.
"What was that," one of the elders spoke.
"Captain what just happened," Shin called on a radio.
"Sir a massive explosion just occurred in the engine room we don't know what happened, but the entire port side is gone wafted is pouring in and we are trying our best to seal it," responded the captain.
"And the engine," Shin asked.
"The engine is gone sir. We cant repair it and right now we are sitting ducks here," the captain responded as Shin looked down with the elders looking on in worry.
"Well I think it's time to make our appearance," suddenly a loud echo was heard as everyone including Pokémon covered their ears at the horrible sound.
"Now was that really necessary Zach. I mean they are family," a voice one full of arrogance and mockery as out of the darkness that was the main hall came a man with a blonde hair tied into a ponytail with some of it blocking out his left eye while the other one had a strange device on it. His attire was all black with a white over coat with the letter R on it signally that he was Team rocket.
"Team rocket what are you doing here," Shin said obvious hate in his voice.
"Why what does it look like I'm here to steal all of your valuable Pokémon," the blonde man snapped his fingers as more grunts appeared all over the place as their Pokémon which consisted of Ekans, Rattata, and Zubat stopped the trainers from doing anything.
"You won't get away with this Kurama-Hyper Voice," Suddenly Kurama was hit by a loud sound which sent him flying back into Naruto's arms who had wide eyes as he looked at the top deck only to glare with hate at who it was.
"Don't think you'll get out this unharmed. You'll pay for taking everything from me," Zach said as he now wore a team rocket logo on his shirt with the hat.
"Zach how could you to your own family," one of the elders said with disdain as everyone else glared at him.
"Oh stop that shit. We were never family and we aren't anymore now that I have been banished so consider this payback, Loudred use Hyper Voice," Zach's new Pokémon which was given to him by Team rocket jumped down ready to unleash its move, but a torrent of flames stopped him as Naruto and Kurama stood in front of the elders shocking them.
"Interesting why protect the very people who planned to bring you back," The blonde man said.
"They might not be the most kind people, but if theirs one thing I know it's that hurting others especially family is intolerable so if you wanna hurt them you have to get past me and Kurama," Naruto said as Kurama growled at them.
"Rrrrrr, fine I'll destroy you and your weak Pokémon," Zach said, but a wave from the blonde man stopped him.
"No, that wasn't the mission we need him and his Pokémon unharmed. So your little revenge may need to wait," The blonde man said.
"Deidara you promised I could end him," Zach said with anger as his fist tighten.
"Oh you will, but not at this moment. Now young Naruto you will have to come with us," the now named Deidara said as he extended his hand.
"Like hell I will," Naruto said.
"Oh but you must unless you want these people to suffer," Deidara then pointed to the upper part as Naruto saw Tanner, Sydney, and Astra each looking at the grunts who had their Pokémon ready a move just in case.
"Damn that bastard," Naruto thought as he tried to figure out a way to help them, but saw no opportunity expect to surrender.
"Naruto let me help," Z said from inside her ball.
"No it's to risky and I can't risk you being caught by them," Naruto said as he narrowed his eyes and looked down to see Kurama growling obvious anger in his eyes.
"So what will it be Naruto," Deidara asked already preparing for the answer, but before he could get one he got a call from one of his grunts.
"Sir do you copy. We are reading a massive storm heading for you,"
"What does that have to do with us. This storm is nothing it won't even hit till we are long gone," Deidara said angered that he was told such useless info.
"Ah sir this storm is not unlike any other it's moving at a fast rate of speed and heading straight for the ship," the grunt said sounding worried as Deidara raised an eyebrow.
"Oh really and enlighten me how long till it arrives," Deidara asked as Naruto looked above him getting wide eyes as those who saw also looked back and grew intensely worried.
"Ah sir it's right on top of us," the grunt said as Deidara finally looked up when the light was gone and his eyes widen upon seeing the massive storm clouds, but instead of rain it was hail which confused him until he started to feel pain from it along with the other Pokémon since they weren't ice types.
"What the hell. Did this hail come from," Deidara asked no one in particular as the trainers looked at them in confusion and at the sky finding the hail was only hitting them fast and hard, but not them though Naruto took this moment to do something.
"Kurama go use Flamethrower," Kurama then unleashed his torrent of flames sending Loudred flying back and into a bunch of grunts freeing some of the trainers who then took out their Pokémon as they started to fight back.
"Damn Zach get ahold of them and you three stop that kid," Deidara said as three of his grunts then sent their Pokémon to handle him.
"Kurama get ready," Naruto said as he knew Kurama was tired from the battle and he could use his other Pokémon, but he doubted they would let him switch out.
"You better be prepared kid-AAHhh," suddenly a blue beam came down and hit the three grunts as their Pokémon looked on shocked, before they to became incase in ice.
"What the hell?" Naruto asked as he looked up along with others only for their eyes to widen as a blue heavenly bird with hail slowly descending from it hovered over the ship.
"Is that-"
"ARTICUNO! All of you capture it," Deidara said shocked that one of the three legendary birds was here and decided to forgot about Naruto.
Aaaaaarrr
Suddenly Aritucno shot an ice beam at some of the Pokémon freezing them as it dived down scooping up Naruto who cried out in shock as he was taken further and further up until they got passed the clouds and into the clear sky where Naruto stopped struggling and looked around in confusion before he looked up at his only life line from falling.
"Why did you do that," Naruto asked confused on why Articuno would save him.
"Because young child just as Moltres found an interest in you I have also seen something in you that separates you from the other humans," Articuno spoke in an angelic voice.
"Oh really is it my witty personality," Naruto said with a smile.
"Ha, you sure are fasinating one. I have come to help you defeat this bad of misfits, then when all is set and done will our paths forever be intertwined and that I wait for your eventual return to my domain," Articuno said as she then tossed him up as he yelled out scared for his life, before he landed on the back of Articuno who gave him a mischievous smirk.
"Who would've thought legendary Pokémon could prank somebody," Naruto said as he laughed at it before they dived down passing by the clouds and entering back into the hail as he saw team rocket and the Uzumaki with some of the trainers battling it out as he gave a small smirk.
"Let's help them out go in and use Ice beam," Articuno nodded before diving in quick and letting out a blur beam of energy that surprised the grunts who couldn't do anything as their Pokémon were hit sending them flying back while some were frozen.
"Stop that bird," Deidara said annoyance clearing showing.
"Say can you use Aurora Veil," Naruto asked as Articuno smirked before flapping its wings as white barrier energy surrounded her before disappearing.
"Does that answer your question young one," Articuno said.
"Oh yeah now let's get them," Naruto said as Articuno raced down hitting some Pokémon that were trying to put number Kurama, but they were blown back by Articuno's Steel wing.
"Damn you Naruto get down here you coward," Zach said, but he was stopped as Kurama jumped in front of him with a small smirk as Zach started to sweat a little backing up.
"HEY KURAMA USE CONFUSE RAY," Naruto yelled out as Kurama once again sent balls of light that circled around him, before he fell down confused on the situation.
"Sir we got police boats and choppers heading to our position," one grunt said through the radio as Deidara tightened his grip on it realizing this was a losing effort.
"Damn kids always becoming trouble. RETREAT! Everybody fall back," Deidara said as he turned around passing by a still confused Zach as all the other grunts ran away leaving the poor banished Uzumaki to suffer while the others jumped off landing on boats below as he made it to the edge being the last one he was stopped as he looked up to find Articuno and Naruto glaring at him.
"Where do you think your going," Naruto asked as Articuno was about to freeze him.
"I think you should be worrying about the people on board," Deidara said as he revealed a switch before pressing the button causing another explosion that gave him enough time to jump down on the boat as it started to ride off with Articuno looking ready to pursue.
"No we have to help them calm the fires and make sure this ship doesn't sink," Naruto said as the ice bird nodded before flying over to the fire raging on the back with man trying to put it out.
"I think I have the right move for this," Articuno said as Naruto nodded as she cried out with the hail suddenly stopping and being replaced with water as they landed around the ship calming the raging fire enough that the others were able to put it out.
"Good job Articuno," Naruto said as it smiled back happy to help.
Two Days Later
It has been two days since the incident at sea with the police asking everyone about the details and the crew explaining that a bomb had been planted to stop all engines thus making them easy targets for Team rocket to attack and if it wasn't for Naruto they would've had all their Pokémon stolen. Zach himself was now being arrested and was to have a trail in Kalos for his crimes against not only Pokémon, but his fellow family, with the elders being the ones with the final say. As for Naruto himself after his help and Articuno's he had been resting a few days in a hotel back Vermilion city along with some other trainers all paid by the Uzumaki, though he was told to wait a while as they had to discuss with what to do with him as his battle with Ren had not been decided. So for the past hour he had been waiting near a conference room as the elders, shin, and Ren discussed what to do and the reason he hadn't already left is because he didn't feel like being chased by the Uzumaki and finding out who he associated with.
"Naruto you may come in now," Shin said as he opened the door allowing Naruto to get up and enter to find everyone sitting down looking at him with some looking disgruntle as he raised an eyebrow.
"So what did you all decide would happen to me," Naruto asked ready for any possibility.
"We as the elders of the Uzumaki have always been a key factor into the polices that go on in our clan and family. With it being raising the age of starting trainers to where they should start or if they should be allowed a starter at a young age and that has been the law though with recent times things have changed especially within the leaf village," the main elder said.
"Now the Uzamaki are training side by side with those from different clans and civilians thus we now are a changed clan. But upon your sudden leave it caused some problems that we still are recovering from and though we wish for you to return we realize that your growth would not have been possible if you did not journey on your own," another elder said as Naruto had wide knowing what they were implying.
"Naruto the elders have agreed to leave you be and have your location be kept secret until the time is right," Shin said.
"And when would that time be," Naruto asked.
"In a few years your siblings will reach of age to pick a starter and start their journey in Kalos from which both your mother and father have chosen. It is in that time frame where we will tell them of crossing paths with you, but know that we have respected your decision to travel they might feel differently," the main elder spoke.
"There is no need to tell them as by the time they turn of age I will be in Kalos," Naruto spikesaid shocking all those in the room.
"
"What do you mean you'll be in Kalos," asked another elder.
"My journey to become the best will not only take me through Kanto, but through Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova. Those places each have a league of their own and so I plan to go to each one to participate in each league so that I myself will grow in both mind and body. And when I finally reach Kalos I'll be sure to show you and my parents along with all those that looked down on me what they missed out on," Naruto said with such determination in shocked a majority of them, but Shin just smiled at him.
"Well then Naruto you better become strong for all of us," Shin said shaking his hand.
"We await then your return to Kalos young Namikaze," the main elder said.
"Uzamaki"
"What?" The elder asked.
"Uzamaki. If I'm to grow I need to let go of some of the hate or else it will cloud me so for now just Uzamaki, because I'll show you what a true one really is," Naruto said as he walked out of the room once again shocking the audience as Shin smirked waiting for the day he would return and show them what they missed out on.
Later on in the day Naruto was walking through the city heading to his next destination which would happen to be Saffron city where not only his next gym badge was, but also an old friend he hadn't seen in a while. Though as he was about to enter the forest did he hear someone calling his name and a set of footsteps as he turned around to raise an eyebrow at seeing Sydney running towards him carrying a big box as she stopped in front of him taking in deep breathes.
"Sydney what are you doing here," Naruto asked as he knew that the Uzamaki were scheduled to fly back home now that their ship was destroyed.
"Well I wanted to come and say bye, but you had already left so I had to rush over here to come get you," She said finally getting her breath back.
"And you had to run all the way just to do that I mean you couldn't have called," Naruto said.
"Well you never gave me your number so that was going to be a little hard," she said as Naruto sweat dropped realizing that.
"Well might as well give it to you while you're here," Naruto then took her phone before typing in his number as Sydney blushed kinda embarrassed." Say what's with the box," Naruto asked realizing she was carrying that.
"Oh yeah this was a gift for you from Shin saying it was better with you," she said as Naruto gained a raised eyebrow before opening the box and getting wide eyes as he saw it was a large capsule as inside was an egg blue in color with slight waves.
"But I didn't win the tournament," Naruto said.
"Yeah, but he thought it'd be best if whatever hatched out of it go to you," She said also curios as to why he gave it to him and what would hatch from it.
"Ha that old man. Tell him thanks and Sydney May our paths cross again," Naruto said hugging her as she hugged back sad they won't get to see each other for a long time.
"Be safe little one," Sydney said as she departed heading back with the others.
"I think this trip of ours might've helped you more then you think," Z said from within the pokeball.
"Yeah your right and here I thought that would be impossible," Naruto laughed before looking at the egg and setting it inside his bag, before heading off to continue his journey as the egg wiggled a little almost as if it was happy to be traveling.
END.
Holy shit was that long like I'm talking long asf that took me forever and I am sorry if it felt rushed at the end I just had to get this done quickly before the end of the week as I wanted to work on other things I had planned with my cousin coming back from his trip half way across the world I wanna hang with him. Also I wanted to get back to gym battles as I felt that would be better suited for myself and hopefully this story gave you a brief glimpse at how it will turn out and just what Naruto's plans are for the future so if you did comment and tell me what else I should add also I don't know about any love interest just yet as I'm not sure who he should go with or if he should have anyone, but we shall see in the future as for now hope you have a happy holiday and see y'all next time.
