HEY YALL! As you can assume I have gotten this chapter out real early for all of you and of course this chapter isn't pretty and I had some troubles with it. So I just wanna say sorry for this off chapter and of course I'll make sure I take my time with it. As for future chapters I actually got the next ones set up and the last two team members will be coming aboard later. NO! The egg will not be one of those two well technically I should say three next Pokémon as the one in the egg will either make you happy or upset depends on your thoughts on this Pokémon, but anyway let us move onto to this chapter of Masterquest.
Chapter 18: The Spring Bloom
Naruto sighed as he sat cross legged on a giant flat rock in the middle of a raging river as the sounds of the water moving along and the feel of the wind on his skin allowed for a cool and calm center of peace one of which he needed right now.
"To become centered you must first be one with yourself. Your rage I can feel is unbalanced and with that comes havoc for your other emotions till you are nothing more, but a confused Pokémon. So close your eyes and become one with nature whose balance is shifted through her"
Those were the words Fu said to him as before he had returned to his Pokémon she had told him that she could feel his inner struggles and that they have been bottled up for so long that they have destroyed his inner balance. Of course she was referring to his spikes of anger and the sudden jolt of energy he always gets whenever he is angered or upset causes him to sometimes think rash and pull off stupider stunts then usual, though he did question her how she knew and she didn't say anything, but leave him to his own doings. So now here he was sitting on a rock in the middle of a raging river as he tried to think to himself and focus on his inner self which of course was something he had been doing for the last half hour.
"This is starting to feel pointless," he thought.
"Just like yourself," Naruto's eyes open wide at the sudden voice as he looked around and found no one in the area.
"That probably because it wasn't anybody," the same voice spoke as Naruto looked around trying to find the source of that voice, before he stopped and looked down in the water at his reflection only something was different.
"Just who are you," Naruto asked his image as it started to ripple and change with the hair changing to a dark red with black streaks and his eyes becoming a dark red as he took on a more animalistic look.
"Why isn't it obvious. I'm you fool, only the stronger version of what you could become," the reflection spoke with a sinister smirk.
"And what version would that be?" Naruto questioned though he probably knew what he was talking about.
"Why me of course. Your anger, rage…betrayal of what those you considered blood have done to not only you, but to us. I know it eats at you every day I am apart of you I feel your every thought. Why do you think your able to do some incredible things for a human," the dark Naruto said.
"I know and I also know that it's your influence that always gives me the strength to keep going and make more rash decisions that further hurt not only myself, but my Pokémon," Naruto said as he glared at his darker self.
"Well Pokemon are used as both a sword and shield," his darker half said as Naruto glared even harder.
"You should watch yourself or else," Naruto growled out.
"Or what I'm you only much more powerful after all I feed off your anger and rage. Both of which you have built up over the years so trying to get rid of me now won't help solve anything for yourself," the dark Naruto spoke as Naruto sighed knowing he was right.
"Yes I know that over the years since my arrival here into the Kanto region I have held nothing, but hate and rage letting it fester and grow into…you and because of that I have made some mistakes ones that I refuse to let happen again and to others especially my Pokémon," Naruto said with so much conviction on the last part that his darker half was taken a back slightly by it.
"I admit I didn't expect our first meet being so…surprising," his darker half said with a feral smirk.
"Well I am known to surprise most people," Naruto smirked back.
"Just know this won't be our last meeting and that I will see you again weather it's for a talk or more," his darker half said, before he started to disappear and Naruto was staring back at his own normal reflection.
"Guess I got a lot more inner demons then I thought," Naruto said as the rustling of leaves drew his attention back to land where he saw Annie and Samuel walking into the clearing and he couldn't help, but smile as he saw the new found confidence brimming in Annie.
Cu Cubone
"Yeah yeah I'm on my way," Naruto said as he got up and jumped back onto land as he followed his two Pokémon back into the village where he saw Fu and her father Vector tending to his Pokémon.
"You have raised some fine Pokémon Naruto," Vector said as he petted Blaze who smiled at his touch.
"Thank you Vector though I have can't take all the credit I mean my Pokémon put just as much work and wouldn't be what they are without their own strength," Naruto said as he got down and started to pet Kurama.
"Yes, but only when the bond between human and Pokémon is as strong will true strength be unlocked," Vector said.
"Are you referring to mega evolution Vector," Naruto asked as that wasn't the first time he had heard that phrase.
"Yes Naruto in fact our village hold much history with evolution," Fu said.
"What do you mean," asked Naruto.
"Now now Fu why don't we show our guest what you mean," Naruto said as he started to lead them further into the village until they came to what he assumed the center was and his eyes widen upon seeing a giant statue of a Venusaur.
"Woah what's up with the giant statue," Naruto asked.
"This Naruto is the guardian of the village and the source of all our medicine," Fu said.
"Long ago when this land was untouched by any known human a Pokémon of unimaginable size and power came into contact with a meteor that fell from the sky impact the ground and turning everything you see around you to the opposite of it. For when we are given life, death is just around the corner. But even object of such destruction can be changed into something more and a newly evolved Venusaur made contact with the rock changing it into something more and with it came new life to the surrounding area. New land for which our ancestors were allowed to come and live in harmony with the Pokémon as you can see giving us much medicine and harmony with each other," Vector said as he got on his knees praying to the statue along with Fu and any other villagers who came.
"So Gramps was right in saying mega evolution was around far longer then most think," Naruto thought as he to started to pray to the statue of Venusaur with his other Pokémon doing the same not wanting to be left out, but Samuel was the only one not doing it as he stared at the statue with wonder and awe as his eyes almost became mesmerized.
"Hey Samuel you okay," Naruto asked his grass type who didn't seem to hear him as he was still looking at the statue and started to walk towards it as Naruto went to stop him, but Vector raised his arm to stop him.
"Let the lad as I think he feels a connection to the statue," He said as they along with those who came watched as Samuel walked up to the statue in a daze, before being right in front of it.
"What is happening to him," Naruto asked curious on why his Pokémon was so entranced in the statue.
"You will see soon Naruto," Vector said as they watched as Samuel started to let his vines come out and wave around in the air, before the seed in his back pulsed and released small balls of light that floated around the statue and the eyes of the Venusaur started to glow a little, before the vines of Samuel touched the statue.
White light started to shine throughout the area as Naruto was taken aback slightly by it until his vision refocused and he along with Vector, Fu, the villages and his Pokémon watched in amazement as Samuel started to grow and change in size with the giant seed on its back growing almost as if blossoming with the balls of light converging back into it and the light dying down until something new stood in front of staute.
VENSAUUR!
"What?" Naruto said in shock as he saw his newly evolved Pokémon roar into the sky with the statue almost looking like it nodded its head in approval, before the light in its eyes disappeared.
"So it seems your Ivysaur finally evolved," Naruto turned around to see Asher walking towards him with his own Venusaur.
"You act like you expected this," Naruto asked.
"Well I didn't, but the chief did," Asher said as he looked towards Vector who had a big smile.
"You knew he would evolve," Naruto questioned him.
"Yes I did actually. For as long as this statue has been here all and every known grass type Pokémon has been drawn to it almost as if they have a connection to it with its power giving those the ability to evolve. Though the Bulbasaur line has had a stronger connection with it then other grass types," Vector said.
"Probably, because it's a Venusaur dad," Fu said.
"Is it because of that remember my Ivysaur never evolved when near the statue along with yours Asher," Vector said as said person grumbled knowing his Ivysaur wasn't able to evolve upon being in front of the statue.
"Then why did mine evolve," asked Naruto.
"That is a question you will have to solve yourself," Vector said.
"Okay then. Well what do you think Samuel," Naruto asked his newly evolved Pokémon who looked at him with a little bit of shock as he to had been taken by surprise by his sudden change.
"I think you two can talk about it over dinner as this small evolution calls for a feast," Fu said.
"And one we shall give. Now Asher I need you to tell everyone about it okay," Vector said.
"Really Chief what about the patrolling guards," Asher asked.
"Tell then to take a break and join us. There is no need for any when our village is safe," Vector said.
"I mean sir you can't be to safe," he said.
"Do not worry Asher I believe it will all work out," Vector said, before walking off to assemble the cooks.
"If you say so boss," Asher said before walking off to info the guards.
"Let us go Naruto so that we may prepare," Fu said as she led him and his Pokémon through the village.
Undisclosed location
"So that's the village huh," a male voice with a smooth southern accent said as he looked through his binoculars to view the village below and the statue everyone was standing around.
"Yes and the target seems to be more then we expected," another voice only this one was feminine spoke with a high French accent.
"Don, Janet I need both of you to gather the others and prepare for tonight if this is to go without any problems I need all of you at your top game," a man who towers over them and whose voice spoke of years of wisdom.
"But Kakuzu what about the newly arrived trainer," the now named Don asked.
"He means nothing, though treat him as you would the other trainers in the village," Kakuzu said as he stared at Naruto who was congratulating his newly evolved Venusaur.
"I'll go get the rest of the team ready Kakuzu," Janet said, before walking away to prep everyone.
"Pay day has never looked so good," Kakuzu thought as his mind flashed with the amount of cash he would get for that rare statue.
Night Time
Naruto was sweat dropping as he watched a couple of villagers preform dances that from what he heard Fu say were traditional moves they used to celebrate big events or parties of celebration. Which for him seemed like they were confused as to what they were doing, but nevertheless he continued to eat as the others around enjoyed the show and food. Though once he was done with his meal and noticed everyone was up and moving he decided to step out for a bit as he felt the room was getting to hit and smiled upon feeling the cool night air.
"So you couldn't stand the heat as well," Naruto turned to find Asher sitting on a large boulder looking at the clouds which were blocking the full moon.
"Yeah it was getting a little hot in their plus I'm not a big fan of big parties," Naruto said as he learned on a tree by Asher as the two sat in silence just enjoying each other's company.
"Tell me Naruto. About your Venusaur," Asher said with Naruto looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you wanna know about my Venusaur," Naruto asked confused on why he wanted to know about his grass type.
"I heard that it wasn't your Pokémon to start your journey with nor was it one that Professor Oak has on his ranch," Asher said as he looked down towards Naruto.
"Yeah Samuel was from the Johto region and joined me upon bringing me back to the village where his former owner lived. That was the day I truly had someone to teach me," He said.
"What do you mean teach you," Asher asked.
"Back when I first met Gramps or as you call him Professor Oak, he has always watched over me. Though he always made sure I was healthy and active, always learning about Pokémon he never taught me how to interact with others or the other Pokémon on the farm. When Samuel joined us he was their to teach me not to be afraid of the bigger Pokémon on the ranch, he taught me to be more confident especially when standing up to bullies," Naruto pulled out Samuel's pokeball as he thought back to a time where Samuel as a Bulbasaur urged him to communicate with a Tauros and he slightly laughed thinking of how scared he was back then.
"So Samuel became yours after a while and you took him along with you on your journey," Asher said.
"Yup, to be honest he and most of my Pokémon are closer, because of the experiences they each have had throughout their lives from being abandoned, mistreated, and lost. Till I found them and have them a look at what a true caring trainer is and once was," Naruto smiled as the journey he has had with his team is one they have had together and one they knew will grow their bond even further.
"Huh, your different from other trainers," Asher said.
"Really you sure it's not because of your award winning personality," Naruto said with a laugh.
"Ha, very funny kid, but there is a reason I was harsh to you," Asher said.
"Really wanna enlighten me," asked Naruto.
"Ha, if you wanna know just look at the statue. I mean I'm sure you noticed the damage upon it," Asher said as Naruto thought about it remembering that the thing had multiple scratches and marks on it almost as if it had been beaten by some kind of object.
"A long time ago our village was once a hot spot for trainers to come and heal their Pokémon, but also themselves and back then I was more open to it. Till one particular trainer came and challenged Vector for the right to take Fu as his wife, apparently his family was famous to the Pokémon world. Tell me do you know of the Uchiha," Asher said immediately noticing the flash of anger in Naruto's eyes gave him the answer he needed." I assume your not a big fan," he asked.
"You could say I have a bad history with Uchiha especially one of my Pokémon," Naruto said as he thought of King and his previous trainer Obito.
"At least we have that in common. But this Uchiha was far more arrogant then any I have seen and not only wanted to make Fu his, but wanted the statue," Asher said as he grew more angry the more he thought of it.
"What did Vector do with him," Naruto asked.
"He beat the kid so bad that he ran out of the village crying home," Both of them laughed as one imagined what it looked like while the other laughed as he remembered that day very much.
"I guess he didn't take the lose very well," Naruto asked.
"No in fact he and a bunch of his friends snuck into the village at night and tried to break the statue with that boy going to where Fu lived and trying to take her. Of course I was their late at night, because I had to patrol though when I saw him I made him pay deeply," Asher said as Naruto just looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Is that why your village was basically hidden from the world now and not many are allowed to enter," Naruto asked.
"Yes and since only those we deemed worthy could enter not many knew how to find the place. So our villages secret was kept that and my reaction to you finding our village was because I didn't want something like that to happen again," Asher said.
"Well at least I know now your not a total ass," Naruto said as Asher laughed at his remark.
"Yell well your not so-,"
BOOOM
"What the hell was that," Naruto asked as he looked up to see a column of smoke coming from the center of the village.
"I don't know, but that's where Thomas is right now," Asher said as he rushed to the smoke with Naruto sighing as he followed him.
Center of the Village
"You won't get away with this," Thomas struggles to stand as his Fearow and Dodrio were both being pinned down by rocks coming from a massive Rhydon and Arbok as the owner of these Pokémon walked up to him.
"Ah but you see we already have by the time anyone comes we will be long gone," Janet said as she gave a smirk at the poor mans attempt to get up.
"Janet enough fooling around we got the thing hooked up," Don said as he along with serval masked men tied ropes from the statue to Skarmory and Fearow.
"Fine Abrok finish him would you," Janet said as her Pokémon hissed before lunging at Thomas who closed his eyes accepting his fate.
"KURAM FLAME CHARGE!" Suddenly a red blur slammed into Arbok sending it flying back into its trainer who cried out in shock, before it turned to anger as she got up and glared at the new comers.
"Looks like we have company," Don said as he radioed in for more help.
"You won't take the statue," Asher said as he glared at the thieves.
"Then try and stop us, go Honchkrow," Don then sent out a black bird with a large chest and wings that spread far and wide as it's head looked like a hat.
"Arbok, Rhydon deal with them would you," Janet said as her two Pokémon glared at the little fox who growled back.
"Not gonna happen you ready Asher," Naruto smiled as Asher gave him a smirk.
"Always now Venusaur lets go," Asher then sent out his own large bulky grass type only this one was a light green as it glared at the Pokémon in front of him.
"Woah looks like you got your own Venusaur," Naruto said.
"He was my first Pokémon and my longest partner and whenever he is around that statue he feels more calm and determined so this is personal," Asher said as Naruto nodded understanding then one of his pokeballs shook as it opened releasing Samuel who senescing the danger roared.
"Woah Samuel you wanna join in," Naruto saw the determined look in his eyes and smiled.
"Ha, this will be easy for me. Honchkrow use Air Cutter," Don said as his Pokémon raised its wings as blades of wind formed before they shot off at the two grass types.
"Arbok assist and go in and use Ice Fang. Rhydon you use Horn Drill," her two Pokémon rushed in one with its horn spinning rapidly and the other baring its ice covered fangs.
"You take care of the two on the ground I got the one in the air," Asher said.
"I'm not one of your lackies, but I'll do it anyway. Kurama move in with Flame Charge and use Iron Tail to deflect those fangs while Samuel you stop that charging Rhydon with Vine whip," Naruto called out as his Pokémon each took on their own targets with Kurama racing towards Arbok and jumping above its strike as it's tail turned a metallic sliver, before slamming it into the top of its head as it hissed in pain. While Rhydon's Horn was stopped by the vines and it was lifted up by Samuel only to be slammed into the ground.
"Now Venusaur use Light screen," Asher called out as a pink screen appeared in front of his Pokémon blocking all the air cutters.
"Rrrrr, Honchkrow move in and use Aerial Ace," Don called out as his Pokémon rushed in with Asher not saying anything and his Venusaur just waiting for Honchkrow to come as Naruto was about to call out to him.
"Now Venusaur use Sleep Powder," Venusaur then releases a cloud of green smoke which Honchkrow couldn't dodge at its speed and flew right into it as it coughed and shook its head missing its attack.
"HONCHKROW!" Don yelled.
"Now bring it down with Energy Ball," Asher said as his Pokémon unleashed a ball of green energy that went flying hitting Honchkrow who cried out before falling down.
"Damn them, all of you get those birds flying," Janet said as the others they had with them quickly got on their Pokémon and told them to start flying as they flew up with the ropes tied to the statue become tight as they used their strength to lift it as they struggled a bit before they saw the thing moving.
"We have to stop them, Kurama use Flamethrower," Naruto called out as his Pokémon unleashed a torrent of flames, but another torrent of flames came out of nowhere blocking his Pokémon's attack." What was that," Suddenly a rumble from underneath Kurama stopped them from moving as out from the ground popped a Weavile as Kurama jumped back, but wasn't fast enough to dodge the slash that came from Weavile as he went sailing back.
"I leave the transfer of the statue to you two and when I cams to see what's taking you so long I come to find your getting beat by one guard and a kid barely out his diapers," Kakuzu came flying down on his Aerodactyl as both Don and Janet became slightly nervous upon seeing his impatient face with Asher looking shocked at Kakuzu.
"Sorry sir we underestimated them," Janet said.
"We could've gotten them sir please let us handle them," Don said.
"Enough I will handle this besides I have some unfinished business with one of these two. I mean it has been years since our last encounter ain't that right Asher," Kakuzu said as he waved at him.
"KAKUZU! What are you doing back here," Asher said with sudden anger as Naruto was shocked at it.
"Well I just came back to see how my old home is doing and to take something while I'm on my way out," Kakuzu said as he waved for the birds to continue.
"You won't get away with it you damn traitor," Asher said.
"Wait what Asher who is this," Naruto asked confused on how they knew each other.
"Kakuzu was a former member and teacher of the villages guards in fact he was Vector's student and Fu's first love….and my brother," Asher said as Naruto grew wide eyes as he looked at the smug look of Kakuzu.
"Ah yes the good old times when I was tied down to this village, but now I'm much more and no longer tied down to this village. For as you see I have grown to be very powerful while you and the others grew weak here," Kakuzu said.
"Wrong Kakuzu we grew stronger and I've become the best in the village," Asher said.
"Oh really well then show me will you," Kakuzu said as his Magmar stepped up.
"I'll show you now Venusaur let's go," Asher said.
"No wait Asher stop," Naruto said knowing he was letting his emotions get the best of him.
"Venusaur use Frenzy Plant," Asher said as his Pokémon slammed it's legs into the ground with a giant tree coming out from the ground and heading towards Magmar.
"Magmar use Sunny day," Kakuzu said as his Pokémon raised its hands as a large light suddenly shined down brightening everything just as the giant tree slammed down on it.
"Guess you lost your touch Kakuzu," Asher said, but was taken aback by his smug smirk.
"Oh you still have much to learn Asher. Magmar now Flame Charge," suddenly the free got burned away as in a blur Venusaur was slammed by Magmar as he went skidding back and grunted in pain.
"Venusaur are you okay," Asher said as he saw that his Pokémon was badly hurt from that attack.
"Coming at me with a grass type even if it's your best Pokémon it won't help you here I'm afraid Asher. Now Magmar go in and use Fire Punch," Magmar then rushed in as Asher got in front of his Pokémon with Venusaur looking up at his trainer with Asher having a determined look not letting his own arrogance become the reason his Pokémon get hurts even more.
"Now Samuel use Body Slam," Suddenly from out of the corner came Naruto's Venusaur as it used its heavy body to stop Magmar and send it flying back.
"Naruto?" Asher said as he looked at Naruto who was holding Kurama and walked near his Pokémon who stood in front of them protectively.
"You know I was told my emotions would get in the way of my battles and force me to make rash decisions and was told what I'm gonna tell you now. To be one with your Pokémon means to be focused on the battle now and let all emotions flow and connect with your Pokémon and that's what me and Samuel are gonna do," Naruto said as his Pokémon nodded agreeing with him.
"Ha, Fu was always the wise one," Asher said as he looked at Naruto with a confident smirk and nodded." Go get him then."
"And who might you be," Kakuzu asked curious on the newcomer as he wasn't someone who lived in the village.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm here to stop you," Both he and Samuel glared at Kakuzu.
"A Uzumaki well haven't seen one in a while. Though what your doing here is beyond me it doesn't matter for if your in my way you'll suffer," Kakuzu said as Magmar got up and glared at Samuel.
"Well I'm not like them as I have been known as the unpredictable one," Naruto said.
"Yes, but coming at me with a Venusaur your more dumb then unpredictable," Kakuzu said.
"Samuel is different from other Venusaur and he'll show you now use Razor Leaf," Naruto said as his Pokémon unleashed sharp leaves at Magmar.
"Pathetic, Magmar make this quick and use Flamethrower," Kakuzu said as he shakes his head at the kids dumb choice with his Pokémon unleashing a torrent of flames that burned the oncoming leaves heading straight towards Samuel, but Naruto just smirked as Samuel in a surprise burst of speed dodged the attack shocking Kakuzu a little.
"Now Samuel move in and use Body Slam," Naruto said as his Pokémon moved in quick.
"Magmar stop him with Fire Punch," Magmar raises its fist which caught on fire as it went to strike the oncoming Pokémon.
"Samuel quick use Vine whip to dodge," Naruto said as Samuel's vines came I It and slammed into the ground using it to launch himself above Magmar's attack." Now use Razor Leaf to cut those ropes," Kakuzu had wide eyes as he realized they were going for the statue which had finally gotten into the air.
"Magmar stop him with Flamethrower," Kakuzu said.
"Venusaur use Solarbeam," Asher said as his Pokémon unleashed it's Attack not needing the charge with Sunny day out.
Magmar was blown back as Samuel unleashed sharp leaves cutting the ropes attached to the statue freeing it, but causing it to come slamming into the ground as a part of its head broke off with it rolling in front of Samuel who looked down at the broken head of the Venusaur statue. Kakuzu himself was fuming as his objective was ruined and he was raging inside before his anger filled eyes turned towards the source of his anger being Naruto who looked shocked at the outcome thus he wasn't prepared for what was coming.
"Weavile use Ice Beam," Naruto was thrown out of his thoughts as he saw the attack coming towards him and turned around making sure Kurama wouldn't be injured, but was pulled away by Samuel's vines as he was put behind him to make sure he wasn't injured anymore.
"Samuel," Naruto said as he saw his Pokémon looking a little worn out.
"You'll pay for ruining my score. Now Magmar, Weavile,, Aerodactyl finish him off with tru element attack," Kakuzu said as Magmar prepared a fire blast, Weavile a Blizzard, and Aerodactyl a Hyper beam.
"This would be a good time for the others," Naruto said as he went for Blaze's pokeball but found his missing along with the others as he looked around finding them where he was standing before.
Venu Saur Venusaur
Naruto looked at his Pokémon who stood defensively in front of him as Kurama jumped out of his arms and stood ready to help, but was stopped as a vine held it back and he looked into the eyes of Samuel who gave him a stern look.
Venusaur saur venu saur
Vulll Vulpix
Naruto watched as the two had a small argument, before Kurama with a saddle look stepped back with Naruto realizing Samuel wanted to deal with them by himself and as he tried to reach out to his Pokémon he looked back at him as the two stared at one another almost as if having a conversation with just their eyes as Naruto saw he wanted to do this to protect the ones he cares about as Naruto stepped back allowing Samuel to do this by himself.
"So your just gonna come at me with him huh well it's your funeral. All three of you Attack," Kakuzu said as his three Pokémon fired their attacks.
"NARUTO!" Asher said as he tried to go in and help, but Don and Janet were in his way.
"Not so fast sweetheart we still got some unfinished business," Janet said as her Pokémon and Don's surrounded him.
"Now Samuel use Solarbeam," Naruto said as his Pokémon thanks to the sunny day used it and the grass move clashed with the three attacks with it holding them at a stand still. But Naruto saw that it wasn't enough and noticed the sunny day was wearing off.
"Now you three full power," Kakuzu said as his three Pokémon put more power into their attacks overwhelming the Solarbeam and hitting Samuel as a cloud of smoke blocked their view.
"NARUTO!" Asher yelled as he could do nothing with these two holding him off.
"It would seem he survived that," Kakuzu said as he watched the smoke disappear to show a barely standing Samuel with his vine whip blocking most of the damage from hitting Naruto and Kurama with the two looming at their injured friend.
"You have to stop this Samuel you can't take anymore," Naruto said as he tried to pull Samuel back, but he kept moving forward till he collapsed.
"It would seem it's at its end and so are you, now Magmar Flamethrower," Kakuzu watched as his Pokémon unleashed a torrent of fire as Naruto saw it coming and jumped in front of Samuel taking the attack as Samuel and Kurama yelled out.
"NARUTO IM COMING OUT!" Z said as she was about to come out, but Naruto held onto her ball as he didn't want her to expose herself.
Venusaur Saur Venusaur
Samuel could only look at the damage it's trainer got and looked down sadden it couldn't help him as he was to weak. To weak to help anyone and right now at a disadvantage, but then he looked into Naruto's eyes which showed pain, but underneath that pain was something more, something stronger then pain. Love, something that was the strongest bond two individuals could have and his love for him and his Pokémon was what made him take that hit. So with the strength he had and fine whop he tried to stand up till his vine whip broke another piece of the statue with him falling back down, but then he heard something rolling and look down to find a small light blue gem with a swirling pink and dark lime green in the middle as Samuel looked at the broken head again almost in a trance as he picked up the small gem and placed it on his head where it stuck, before getting up and standing in front of the injured Naruto who looked at Samuel with worry.
"Samuel I got this you get your rest," Naruto said as he tried to get him behind him, but Samuel stopped him.
VENUSAUR!
Naruto stopped as he stared into Samuel's eyes and saw beneath that pain was something that instantly made him jolt as without even thinking about it he dig into his small pouch on his back and pulled out the gem he was given by Mr. Fuji as suddenly the two gems started to glow.
"What the hell?!" Kakuzu said as everyone stopped fighting to look at the light show with Vector and Fu arriving just in time to witness the event.
"Through our bonds we show love and through our love we go beyond evolution. Now Samuel MEGA EVOLVE!" Naruto hadn't thought of those words, but they came out of his mouth, because he thought they felt right and as he raised the DNA gem did it start to release energy as the gem above Samuel's head did the same with the two connecting until power surged through them with Samuel being engulfed in light.
"Mega evolution! This won't stop us now Weavile, Magmar use your strongest attacks," Kakuzu said as both used Blizzard and Fire blast with the two attacks hitting Samuel with smoke blocking the light show that died down.
"Did you get him boss," Don asked only to be blown away when massive vine whips came and hit him, Janet and their Pokémon into the other grunts.
"You came here to steal something sacred to these people. Your people and for that you shall be punished by me and Samuel," Naruto said as the smoke was gone showing he was fine and Samuel was to looking better then never with his mega evolution making the plant on its back bigger.
"You won't stop us not now or never Magmar Fire Punch, Weavile Ice Punch," Kakuzu said as his two Pokémon rushed in each with devastating attacks as Naruto and Samuel smirked waiting for the two to connect and when they did Samuel took them without flinching." WHAT!" Kakuzu was shocked at what just occurred.
"Now it's your turn to feel the pain. Samuel if you would," Naruto said as his Pokémon nodded before a bright light was released from its giant plant which shined everywhere blinding some." Now end this with Solarbeam," then without a second to waste Samuel unleashed the beam of energy that hit both Pokémon sending them flying back to their masters feet knocked out and him furious.
"RRRRRR, PULL OUT! This mission is a failure," Kakuzu said as he didn't like retreating, but knew better then to fight a losing battle with a mega Pokémon.
"But boss we have him on the ropes," Don said, before his Pokémon was thrown back at him.
"Sure you do now let's get out of here," Janet said before getting his Pokémon and himself and running towards the flying birds with Kakuzu returning both of his Pokémon and giving Naruto a hard stare.
"Remember this BOY! I will get my prize and if you stand in my way….we'll you better be equipped for it," Kakuzu said as he saw the last of his people fly away, before telling his Pokémon it was time to go and flew away as Naruto didn't give chase and decided to watch with Samuel growling at their retreating forms.
"Good job Samuel it would seem you can mega move huh," Naruto said as he praised his Pokémon who smiled at him.
"Naruto are you okay," Fu asked as she came down and hugged him before checking to make sure he was he.
"Yeah yeah I'm okay, but what about the others," Naruto asked about Thomas who was being taken away to a stretcher.
"Thomas will be fine my boy, but what about you," Vector said.
"I'm fine just a light wound," he said, but got hit in the head by Asher.
"Little my ass you got hit by a Flamethrower so let them worry," Asher said.
"Thanks, but I've taken worse," Naruto said as he went to walk away, before collapsing onto the ground with everyone looking on in worry.
"Don't worry guys I think it's just fatigue," Asher said after feeling for a pulse and finding one.
"At least we know he's tired now," Vector said with the other two laughing, while Kurama congratulated Samuel on his new form with him smiling knowing he was gonna piss off Blaze with it.

"Kakuzu report," a dark voice spoke as he was seen on a video screen though it was dark you could make out the dark red eyes on the other side as three tomeo spun around in them.
"Mission was a failure sir," Kakuzu said though not with the most happy of tones.
"Failure? Tell me how you my top agent failed," the dark voice asked with a clear hint of anger present.
"Our information on who would be guarding and around what time were accurate though the party they had did help. It was for not as a trainer a Uzumaki nonetheless foiled our attempts," Kakuzu said as he could see the anger evident in his bosses eyes.
"So a Uzumaki is foiling my plans again. Did you catch his first name," the dark shadow asked.
"Naruto Uzumaki was his name sir,"
"Naruto…I guess Giovanni's little problem has now become my own. Kakuzu continue with your other plans. I must speak with our dear old friend," The dark voice said as Kakuzu nodded before he cut the feed off with the man sitting in thought of the current events.
"So after all this time another Uzumaki will stop me. Only this time I'll make sure he doesn't live"
END.
And so ends another chapter in a long line of stories which I have already told or yet to tell. Though please be patient things take time and sometimes that time makes me lose focus, but don't worry I'll make sure it's properly ready by the time it will come out. Also not gonna lie half way through I took a long break to finish it and haven't gone back to it till today on Tuesday when I started it on Tuesday of last week. Though to be honest I was a busy person last week so that's why, anyway I will make sure the other chapter is posted in the next two weeks though going from here I don't know what to do as I wrote myself into another possibility and may need to rewrite some stuff, but hey you love and learn. Anyway see you all next time chow.
