Hey guys as I said last time this chapter is basically written and completed by the time the other chapter was so I have very little information to tell you with the last chapter basically being me getting the other Pokémon some time in the spot along with three new Pokémon joining his team some of them I will bring back, while others will be kept away at Oaks ranch so that they will be used in future episodes though I don't know if I should use them in battle, gyms, or wait until the indigo league. I guess only time will tell, also I just wanna say that any names you have for future Pokémon you think I'll add would be great. As for now enjoy this chapter and I will have a message for all of you at the end of it.
Chapter 20: The Celadon adventure
"Hello, welcome to the Celadon City pokemon center how can I assist you today," Nurse joy asked as she stood behind the counter to the center with her Chansey by her side.
"Hello my names Naruto and I'm here to check in for a place to rest along with healing of my Pokémon," Naruto smiled as he gave Nurse joy his trainer card.
"Ah Naruto yes I can help your Pokémon and if you just give me a second…I have one room in the hotel next door open for you to rest in," Nurse joy said as she typed on the computer away.
"Thank you Nurse and here are my Pokémon," Naruto went to grab his pokeballs, but one of them opened as out came one of his pokeballs as a small light blue skinned frog came out and waved with its white webbed hands. It's foam collar bounced as he jumped up on his trainers shoulder with Naruto smiling and rubbing his new Pokémon's chin.
"Oh seems one of your Pokémon wanted to come out. Though I have never seen one like this," Nurse jog tried to get closer to the forge in Pokémon, but the little frog just inches away clearly scared of the nurse.
Froakie
"Sorry if he's scared of you just a few days ago he just hatched from his egg. So he's kinda new to this whole thing," Naruto said as he looked at his Froakie who was looking around the place awed as he saw many people and their Pokémon.
"Okay I understand maybe he would like a treat," Nurse joy took out a small cookie in the shape of a Squirtle.
Froakie?
The small little frog Pokémon looked down at the treat wondering what it was and as he got closer Nurse joy extended her hand that was holding it till Froakie jumped off of Naruto and grabbed it taking a single bite. Before his eyes widen and he dug into it enjoying the taste very much. As both Naruto and Joy smiled down at the happy Pokémon who then jumped up into Nurse joys arms.
"Looks like he's starting to like you," Naruto said as he smiled knowing his Pokémon trust in others would need more help.
"He's really cute. Don't worry Naruto I'll have all your Pokémon healed and ready by the hour. As for your room here is the key for it and I hope your stay here is pleasant," Nurse joy said as he thanked her before walking to his room which was on the second floor of the hotel.
He walked in finding the place was quiet cozy and as he opened the window outside he found the smell of the city quiet pleasing and thus his mood was in good spirits as he set up his laptop, before taking his poke watch out and connecting it to it as the data came up on all of the professors research from the different regions with such things as evolution, mega evolution, and of course the newly discovered Z moves that those of Alola region have been using for sometime. Thinking of the far away islands made Naruto think of home back in the Konoha region when times were much more calm and he wasn't always seen as nothing more, but a failed child of two prodigy's.
"You know the past is just the past Naruto," Z said as she came out of her pokeball.
"Yeah I know Z, but sometimes I wonder what would have happened had I not left," Naruto said.
"You can only wonder my boy. Now enough moping I think it's time check up on your newly caught Pokémon," Z said as Naruto quickly typed away on his computer before calling Professor Oak back at the ranch.
Ring…ring…ring
"Hello, oh Naruto my boy how have you been doing. I haven't heard from you since you sent me those three new Pokémon," Oak said.
"Well Gramps that's what I'm calling about. I wanted to check in all the three of them and see how they are behaving," Naruto was worried when he saw that they were afraid of being sent somewhere already feeling like he would abandon them like their previous trainers did.
"Well at first they were having trouble adjusting to the new area, but your Pokémon have been really helpful in making sure they get used to their new surroundings. In fact Samuel and Annie have been showing them around the place, letting them interact with all the Pokémon on the ranch," Oak said.
"Well I knew sending Samuel and Annie back was a good idea. Though how about Eve I saw how she was the one out of the three who was the most worried," Naruto asked.
"Well of course she caused the most trouble of the three, but when you sent Bolt back she calmed down as he has been their to make sure she doesn't cause more trouble and is used to the place," Oak said.
"That's good, ill have to switch with my other Pokémon so that they can be more used to me and that they get more battle experience. Though it would seem like some of them would wanna get some relaxation before anything like battling occurs," Naruto had asked them about battling and both Eve and Tonya were interested, but needed time to decided. Though Garou had jumped at the opportunity to battle as he was the best battler of the three and the one who found them more exciting.
"Well my boy you are free to always call me and switch out with any of your Pokémon," Oak said.
"I know Gramps and I'll call back soon, but for now I just wanted to check in with them," Naruto said as Oak nodded understanding, before the two had a quick discussion on some notes he had gathered of evolution and the mega stone he had gotten from the village, before oak cut out to return to another research while Naruto headed to the Pokémon center to gather his Pokémon.
"Hey how did your gym battle go," a small kid about the same age as Naruto sat down in front of another boy who was eating some food.
"Well it was going great as the gym leader wasn't the biggest of fans of battles. But it all went to shit when some of the girls found a pervert peaking on them and they assumed I was with him so they kicked me out and told me I couldn't come back till they gave up my "accomplices" so now I'm stuck with no way to get that badge," the kid said as he sighed at his predicament.
"Damn really? That sucks man," his friend said.
"Hey I got rejected as well, because apparently she is banning all male challengers," another kid said.
"Yeah she denied me as well," another boy said.
"Man we are all getting rejected for trying to get a badge and all because of a dumb pervert," the first boy said as he sulked into his food.
"So a pervert is peaking on the girls at the Celadon gym. Naruto you don't think," Z said before Naruto sighed.
"Only one person I would know would have the gal to do it. Though I hope it's not him," Naruto said, before walking away once his name was called.
"Here you go Naruto all your Pokémon are healed and rested," Nurse joy said giving him his six pokeballs along with Froakie who jumped onto his shoulder.
"I assume he wasn't much of a hassle," Naruto asked as he rubbed his Pokémon's neck.
"No he was the sweetest thing and helped to calm your Growlithe down," Nurse joy said as she smiled at the small frog Pokémon who waved at her.
"I knew you'd be a treat to the others," Naruto said before giving his thanks to Nurse joy and walking back to his hotel room.
Froakie
"Yeah I know, but I wanna get my team ready for the battle and I'll allow you to view from the side lines with Annie and Samuel. What do you say," Naruto asked his water Pokémon.
Froakie
Naruto smirked at his Pokémon's enthusiasm which rivaled that of Bolt's. Though he would need to make sure that his first battle wouldn't be to much for him when he got a little more training.
Nurse joy told him of the many places around the city he could try to enjoy his stay and Naruto thanked her, before walking out of the Pokémon center and to his hotel to gather some of his stuff as he had to go and find the gym, before it got to late at the night. Though as he headed down the road he heard a small commotion and stopped in front of the entrance to an alley as he looked down only for him to widen his eyes as he saw a girl around his age being cornered by two large men in black. So without a moments hesitation he sprinted down the alley and used a trash can as a spring board to fly over the heads of the men and spinner kicked them away as they crashed into a pile of garbage.
"It's not polite to pick on young lady," Naruto said.
"Ah who the hell is this kid," one of the thugs said as he tried to get up.
"I don't know, but I'm going to kick that kids ass," the another thug stood up rubbing his head.
"Are you okay miss," Naruto said as he looked out of the corner of his eye to see the cowering girl only to widen them as he saw that she was wearing a team rocket shirt only this one was white with the red R.
"I'm fine, but not this little one," the girl said as she showed a Pokémon in her arms one that made Naruto even more shocked.
"A CELEBI!" Naruto's thoughts were raging as he looked down at the mythical Pokémon held in the girls arms.
"Please help us," The girl said with tears in her eyes and Naruto looked into them seeing something that he doesn't usually see in Team rocket members and that was fear. Fear for the Pokémon and what they might do to it and fear of what might happen to her.
"Don't worry I'll protect you," He said as he turned back to the now standing grunts who both spotted team rocket uniforms.
"You can try kid, now go Houndoom," The taller of the two sent out a black hound like dog dog with horns curved on its head as it tail whipped around behind it and it's red eyes glared at Naruto.
"Crobat give this kid a lesson," the other grunt then sent out a purple bat with four wings as it flew around the area before floating beside Houndoom.
"Not gonna happen, now Kurama, Bolt lets roll," Naruto sent out his two four legged Pokémon who growled at the two opposing Pokémon.
"A dumb fox and an electric pin cushion your making this to easy kid," the taller grunt said.
"Crobat use Agility and follow it up with Wing attack," the smaller of the grunts said as his Pokémon started to speed around the area before its wings took a white glow and it flew at fast speeds towards Kurama.
"Kurama use Quick attack to dodge and hit it with a Flamethrower," Naruto watched as Kurama in an impressive bit of speed jumped above the bat who had wide eyes, before flames engulfed it as it cried out flying around with fire burning above its head.
"CROBAT! Rrrhhh Return," The grunt returned his Pokémon frustrated at the quick battle.
"Ha I told you your useless now Houndoom move in and use Fire Fang," the taller grunt said as his Pokémon rushed in towards Bolt mouth a Blaze.
"Bolt quick use Thunderbolt," His Pokémon unleashed a bolt of lightning, but Houndoom tanked it and slammed its jaws into Bolt. He bowled in pain, before he was thrown into some trash cans.
"BOLT!" Naruto yelled as he went to go and help his Pokémon only for a burst of fire to block his path as he jumped back, but didn't notice Houndoom above him with its tail glowing ready to slam into him.
VULLPIX
Kurama jumped up blocking its Iron Tail with its own as the two clashed and jumped back glaring into each other's eyes.
"Damn fox Houndoom use Fire Fang," The tall man said as his Pokémon rushed in mouth once again a Blaze.
"Kurama use Quick Attack and Flame Charge to dodge," Kurama became a Blaze as he sprint around the small alley with Houndoom stopping in its tracks looking around trying to pinpoint Kurama as he was suddenly smashed into trash cans as Kurama now stood in the place he once stood.
"You think that did anything Houndoom get up and use Flamethrower," The thug said as his Pokémon came out looking like he took no damage and unleashed a large breath of flames that headed straight for them.
"Kurama use Iron Tail," Naruto watched as his Pokémon flipped up and used its glowing tail to split the flames in two as he continued his momentum and slammed the dogs head into the ground causing it to whine in pain as it tried to get up.
"Houndoom get up NOW!" But his Pokémon fell down unconscious as the tall man growled before returning his Pokémon.
"We are beat we must retreat," his companion said as he saw Bolt stand by Kurama as they growled at the two.
"NO! If we go now then the boss will have our asses," he said only for a blast of fire to make him jump back.
"I don't think so now Kurama use-"
Suddenly the ground underneath Kurama broke apart as a Ekans came up and slapped him away as more Ekans appeared along with more team rocket grunts. As Naruto had wide eyes and both of his tired Pokémon glared at the group of Pokémon thieves he was about to reach for one of his pokeballs, but a sudden glow behind him caught his attention as he turned around to find the Celebi up and moving as it started to shine bright.
"What the he-Aahhh," the grunts has to cover their eyes as the light shined bright before it died down and they all looked forward to see the two kids gone along with their prize.
"WHAT! Where did they go," the tall man said.
"I don't know sir they just vanished," another one said.
"I know that you fool, find them before the boss finds out," the others quickly scrabbled to find any signs of what happened." Damn the boss is not gonna love this"
Other Side of the City
"Ah my head, what the heck happened," Naruto got up as he noticed that the hard ground had now become soft grass and he looked around himself to find that they were now in Celadon park.
Vullll
Naruto looked to the side to find both of his Pokémon getting up and looking worse for wear so he walked over to them only to find a green blue in his face as the Celebi started to hug him and cry out in tears that he had to take a moment to gather himself before pulling the Pokémon off his face and starting to coo at it as he felt the Pokémon's relief in finally being free.
"Uhh Celebi where are you," the girl asked as she looked around for not only Celebi, but her glasses as Naruto turned around to let the small green Pokémon fly over and pick up the girls glasses before putting them on her." Oh their you are and thank you," she gave the small Pokémon a giant hug.
"So no hug for me," Naruto laughed a little as he walked up to them.
"Oh sorry mister..,"
"Naruto and you would be," he asked as he offered her his hand.
"Karin. Karin Uzumaki," she grabbed his hand as he pulled her up, but his eyes widen upon hearing her last name.
"Wait Uzumaki what are you doing so far from home and with people like team rocket," Naruto questioned wondering how someone from the Uzumaki clan was doing all the way in Kanto and working for Team rocket.
"That's sorta a long story," Karin said.
"Well you can tell me all about it when we get back to my place," Naruto said looking around the area.
"What about the rest of team rocket. They will be searching all over for Celebi and me," she said with a hint of fear.
"Don't worry I'm pretty sneaking and I got someone who can help us," Naruto smirked as he raised one of his pokeballs.
Few Hours Later
The day had gone by fast as night soon enveloped the entire city as soon the night lights were the only thing keeping the streets lit and the wild Pokémon roaming the backstreets any peace with most of the citizens resting and those that are up being night workers or Team rocket grunts roaming the streets trying to find any sign of Naruto, Karin or Celebi, but as most of them were being inconspicuous others were just out in the open with their uniforms on. But under the moons gaze the shadows moved as if they had a mind of their own moving from one dark corner to the next until they crept up the wall of a building slipping into an open window as the shadows started to grow and morph into silhouettes as the light from the moon shined into the room showing the figures of Naruto and Karin along with a now fully awake Celebi who all started to cough.
"What the hell was that," Karin asked as she sat down on a chair to get her barings with Celebi agreeing with her as it fell on the bed exhausted from today's events.
"That was Ghost's special trick we've been working on. Though it seems like it needs some more work," Naruto rubbed his shoulders as Ghost popped up giggling.
"At least we're weren't spotted, but it's only a matter of time before they find out where we are," Karin said as she allowed Celebi to sit on her lap.
"Yeah about that. You might want to fill me in on what team rocket wants with Celebi, how they were able to obtain one and just how many of them are here," Naruto asked sitting down in the opposite chair from her as Ghost floated above them.
"Well the reason so many of us are stationed here is because of Celebi and with the location of the old team rocket base here it was easy to house many of us here. And as for how we obtained Celebi here we'll only top members know that information though the rumor is that the one in charge of operations here was able to catch it," Karin said.
"Who is your boss?" Naruto asked.
"Well technically he isn't apart of team rocket and is more of an outside help hired to track legendary Pokémon for us," Karin said.
"I didn't know team rocket was that in need of help," Naruto said.
"Well as you should know the organization has been trying to gain more and more members and power since our downfall all those years ago. It didn't help that most are not even threatening and act more dumb then anything," Karin said.
"I mean you ain't wrong, but still I would think Giovanni would have more trust that this new team rocket would be better then before," Naruto started to go through his poke watch looking to see if he could find the number of the officer Jenny in this city.
"I wouldn't try calling they have everything tapped as soon as they arrived," Karin said.
"But this is a poke watch I got my own tunnel of communication," Naruto said.
"Won't matter when they got control of the satellite in this city," Karin said pointing to the huge dish in the middle of the city.
"Great and here I thought we could scare them off with the police," Naruto sighed as he laid down on his bed.
"Like I said this isn't the same team rocket as before and Giovanni isn't the same person he was so long ago. In fact the only time I met him he seemed kinder then others I've seen," Karin said.
"Well I mean he did lose to the former Kanto champion and from what I've heard from professor oak he showed no mercy," Naruto said.
"Your right, but hey defeat changes some people," Karin said.
"So Karin I was wondering why someone of the Uzumaki is even apart of Team rocket," Naruto asked with the question nagging at him.
"Huh, I guess you would be nagging about it eventually. Well to start I wasn't born in the Kalos region like all others our age in fact I was born here in the Kanto region with my parents thinking that growing up with other people beside family would be better and it would've been had team rocket not taken me away as a small baby," Karin had tears in her eyes as she thought of her past.
"I'm sorry if I brought up any bad memories," Naruto said.
"No, it's okay even if team rocket was a bunch of crooks it helped shape me in a way to survive and understand Pokémon. Plus it helped me with rescuing Celebi here," Karin smiles down at the sleeping Pokémon.
"Karin you know that even if you escape this city they won't stop until they have found you," Naruto spoke what had to be on her mind.
"I know, but I'll do anything to make sure Celebi is safe and away from them," she said.
Naruto smiled at the girl as he looked down at the sleeping Pokémon knowing that whatever it went through it couldn't gotten worse had Karin not interfered. It almost reminded him of when Z first found him and watched over him for so long that he found it kinda annoying of course, but appreciated it knowing that she was something his parents were not, a true parent.
Gengar Gen
"What's up Ghost," Naruto asked when he noticed his Pokémon suddenly tense as he moved to the window and pointed out in the distance as Naruto looked to where he was pointing finding massive spot lights illumining the night sky.
"Oh, no I forget about plan Hypnosis," Karin said as she looked out at the lights.
"Plan Hypnosis? What are you talking about," Naruto asked.
"You see our main hideout was underneath the gambling corner, but once it was seized and taken something new was built on top of it. Thus cutting our connection to it where apparently information valuable to team rocket in the past could be gathered and used for a project they are calling Clone Mega. Though to do so they have to put all people in the area to sleep before blowing up the building above it, if they go through with it many will suffer," Karin said.
"Not if I have anything to say about it," Naruto grabbed his stuff and prepared to head out.
"Wait you cant go by yourself their will probably dozens of team rocket grunts their especially our boss," Karin tried to keep him from going out by himself along with making sure Celebi didn't wake up.
"Team rocket has already caused enough trouble today for myself and my Pokémon so if they are gonna cause more harm then I'm going to stop them," Naruto said.
"Why not let the police handle them then," she said.
"Well if your right about them putting people to sleep there is a likely outcome they will make them fall asleep as well," Naruto raised two of his pokeballs as both Kurama and Bolt appeared looking around confused on what was happening." Listen you two I need you to stay here and watch over Karin and Celebi. I will be back in a few," he then went towards the door, but Karin put a hand on his shoulder stopping him from opening the door.
"Promise me you'll come back…promise," Karin had a few tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry I'm to stubborn to die," Naruto smiled as he walked out to stop team rocket.
Vul
"It's okay your trainer will be back soon," Karin said though she didn't sound to confident as Kurama looked out at the full moon as his eyes held a sort of red glow.
Middle of City
"You know this is kinda foolish," Z said as she and Naruto looked down at the groups of team rockets grunts tying up people that have fallen asleep due to the Hypno or Drowzee that have put them to sleep.
"Yeah, but when have my plans never been foolish. Besides it looks like they only brought five psychics," Naruto said seeing how only two Hypno and three Drowzee was all he could see putting people to sleep.
"And a whole lot more tram rocket we have to deal with," Z said.
"At least we brought some heavy hitters," Naruto looked behind him to see Ghost floating above Blaze as he was having a small staring contest with King with Leo standing between the two with a small sweat drop.
"So you were going to use Blaze and Kurama for the gym," Z asked wondering if this was the team he brought with him for the Celadon gym.
"Technically I was gonna switch Blaze with someone else, but luckily I didn't," Naruto said, before a small explosion got his attention as he looked down to see that they had started blowing the building.
"Now would be a good time to jump in," Z said as she prepared to jump with her paws igniting with electricity.
"Blaze you and Leo fly up and take out most of their flyers and anyone not on the ground. King on my signal jump down and cause a massive Sludge Wave, Ghost you help me and Z take some of the hostages to safety," Naruto gave each Pokémon a hard stare as they all got serious especially Ghost as they looked down at the grunts before in a swift motion thanks to Ghost they dropped to the ground and with a hand signal Blaze attacked.
"What the- AH!" One grunt was blown back as Blaze unleashed a torrent of flames as Leo used rapid spin to bounce off some of the grunts heads and jump back on top of Blaze.
"Now Z use Thunderbolt, Ghost use Dark pulse," Naruto yelled as the two unleashed their moves with the night allowing for Z to become a shadow as she zapped most of the grunts unconscious.
"Someone stop them quick Hypno- WHAT!" One of the grunts tried to order the other Pokémon, but they were hit by the dark pulse as they fell down with swirls in their eyes.
"Naruto watch OUT!" Z yelled as Naruto ducked underneath a swipe from one of the grunts and spun kicked him into a couple of crates.
"I got myself Z you take care of the civilians," Naruto said as she nodded and picked up two unconscious ones before moving out of the way as Ghost came up and picked up two more.
"Where they he'll did they come from I thought the boss was dealing with any threats," one grunt said.
"He was this kid must've snuck by to stop us, but he's got another thing coming," another grunt said as he raised his pokeball.
NIDOOKING
"Oh what the hell," the two looked up to see a massive Nidoking coming down as it spewed purple slime that came down like a wave of water as it surged through the area taking out all standing members and making them slam into the buildings around the area, but also knocking them out.
"Good job King," Naruto patted his large Pokémon on the head as he took it with a smile.
"That was a little to easy," Z said as she walked up.
"Either way we need to get the rest of these explosives off. Z you and Ghost think you guys can do it," Naruto asked.
"Your literally putting an electric type to disengage bombs," Z said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well all bombs have a small switch just have Ghost help you know which one to put out. Besides we don't know if they have a zero me switch," Naruto said.
"Your really foolish, but I'll try my best let's go Ghost," the two headed inside the building to find more bombs.
"The rest of us will tie up these team rocket members for the police when they arrive, hopefully soon," Naruto said as he walked towards the fallen members, but Blaze and King perked up as in a flash Blaze pulled Naruto back with King standing in front of him tanking a big Hyper beam sending the Poison Pokémon into a parked car causing a small explosion.
"Soon is an understatement as time is of the essence here and unfortunately for you your interfering with that," A voice that to many would be coming from a child was actually one of wisdom and annoyance as out of the smoke came three figures with the most notable one being a giant Nidoking as the lights shined upon its dark blue skin showing its many battle scars and the challenging aura. The second figure was noticeably smaller as its feminine form could be mistaken for a slender female, but was in fact a lizard with small flames spewing from it as it walked by the third middle figure who could mistaken for a young teenage boy, but was in fact a grown man with red hair piercing green eyes as his black cloak blew with the wind showing his white undershirt with the big R in the middle.
"KING! You'll pay for that," Naruto said as both Blaze and Leo glared at the two Pokémon with the two not looking at all intimidated.
"Kids these days always moody. Nidoking would you kindly," The red haired man waved his fingers as his Pokémon growled before charging in with his glowing horn.
"Blaze meet him head on with Dragon Claw," Naruto's Pokémon rushed in with his claws shrouded in blue flames as he clashed with the Poison Pokémon.
"Nidoking now use Poison Jab," The red haired man watched as his pokemon used its strength to push Blaze off balance giving it a chance to unleash blow after blow of punches that had a purple aura around them.
"BLAZE!"
Naruto could do nothing as he watched his Pokémon get hit with multiple strikes to the stomach, before one final punch sent him flying above him and into the pile of unconscious team rocket grunts as he quickly ran towards his Pokémon with Leo shaking the large fire lizard who was grunting in pain as he tried to get up.
"Kids these days. Trainer, always so passionate in their battles which brings about what you call strength. Though it would seem your Pokémon don't have that type of passion," the red haired man said.
"Blaze take it easy boy," Naruto helped him sit up into a sitting position as he saw that his flame was dimming with the body temp of him going down a little."Shit he might be poisoned."
WARTORTLE
Leo jumped up and glared at the two Pokémon for hurting his friend. Though the two Pokemon each gave small smirks basically insulting him as the red haired man looked at the blond haired boy with his eyebrow raising up.
"That boy, he is the one the boss told us about." The red haired man waved to his Nidoking who looked over at him." Deal with that blue nuisance and bring me the boy," his Pokémon roared as it walked up towards them, but a torrent of water stopped it as Leo jumped back after unleashing a water gun.
"Leo good job now use Gyro Ball," Naruto glared at the Nidoking as Leo roared feeling its trainers anger, before spinning at breakneck speeds towards it.
"A foolish child you are. Nidoking use Thunder Punch," his Pokémon raised its fist which sparked up as it smashed it into the spinning Leo causing him to be sent back flying into the arms of Naruto who landed on the ground in a heap.
"Leo no. Please get up buddy," Naruto looked down at his injured Pokémon as sparks came off him.
"You underestimate your own abilities and look where that has lend you and your Pokémon. To think that just because you stopped a few of team rockets plans, you can stop all of our plans, but of course you can't stop all of us. For we are the future," suddenly the Nidoking slammed its foot into the ground as the whole area started to shake with the building.
"NO!"
Inside the Buidling
"Come on Ghost we have to get these bombs defused," Z said as she started to use her electricity to blow a fuse in the bombs as Ghost was simply going inside and pulling some of the wires out.
Suddenly the building started to shake as both Pokémon stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in confusion before the shaking intensified as the housing cracked and the things around them started to fall as they each held onto the wall, but suddenly an explosion behind them flung them back as a couple more went around the building.
"Damn Naruto what's going on out their." The thoughts of one Z were racing as she and Ghost quickly ducked when more explosions came.
Hotel
"What is that"
Karin looked out the window to find that the night sky was a lit as explosions rocked the area as she looked on at a large burning building knowing that is where Naruto was and looked on in worry with Celebi confused on what was occurring not knowing what was going on. Expect for Naruto's two Pokémon who stayed behind with Bolt tightening its teeth feeling something was not right and couldn't do nothing knowing his trainer wouldn't want him leaving the girl and mysterious Pokemon alone. Though Kurama was another matter as he looked out into the city watching the burning fire his eyes wide had the full moon reflecting into them as certain images passed through them. The time of its birth watching as the life of his mother leave her eyes, to fighting other Pokémon at the shelter, scaring off any unwanted intruders, sneaking off to train itself to become stronger and protect that of which it cares for…though at the time he didn't know what. Then he showed up, he didn't know why, but the moment the two met eyes something connected between the two. He didn't know if his trainer felt it, but he sure felt it and it was something that compelled him to leave the shelter and care of his home to go to the tower where he jumped in to help Naruto fight off team rocket. It was something inside of himself that made him do it and follow Naruto on his journey, one of which Kurama has enjoyed for the friends it has given him, the love he never knew he could feel from a bond that he didn't want to break. And as he stared at the area he knew he could feel Naruto in his body started to move and before the others could even notice he was gone in a blur of red.
Back with Naruto
"Why do this? What could you want that it could risk innocents getting hurt?" Naruto stared into the soulless eyes of the red haired man.
"You could never understand our goals. We aren't simple thieves anymore, we have become something more and you my young child are just a wall that will be either moved or rebuilt for our path we walk," The man said.
"I won't let you. Not if it means the death of Pokémon and people," Naruto laid his Pokémon behind him next to the injured Blaze as he stood up with fist raised.
"I applaud your determination, but even that comes to end at some point. So as a good deed I will end you swift. Salazzle would you kindly hit him with a Fire Blast," the man waved his hand as he turned around with his toxic lizard going forward and raising its head as Fire was gathering, before she unleashed the kanji fire. With Naruto looming behind him seeing his two fallen Pokémon and staring back at the oncoming fire.
"I'll protect you guys till the end," Naruto closed his eyes awaiting his end.
BOOM
"Such a pity, he would've made a fine member," The man thought as he continued to walk away, before suddenly feeling the air around him getting warmer." What the?"
The fires that were engulfing Naruto, stopped spreading and started to converge into something as the man turned around curios with his two Pokémon confused on what was going on especially Salazzle who watched on as the fire started to be sucked into a small figure that walked out and in front of a wide eyed Naruto. The figure soon started to grow as a red glow engulfed it and it grew bigger and bigger until the flames all but disappeared and in front of everyone's eyes stood a large crimson red fox with golden eyes, nine tails that had black tips as the large fox howled into the night causing a massive shockwave that blew away the ongoing fires raging around.
"Oh what do we have here. A new and intriguing little specimen you are, what say we catch you shall we," the red haired said.
"What the hell," Naruto looked up as the fox looked at him with the two staring into each other's eyes for a bit until a hit of realization hit them." Kurama is that you buddy," He raised his hand as he slowly came closer and closer until the nine tails nudged it's head into his hand letting him pet him.
"Salazzle use Dragon Rage," a large ball of blue fire came hurling towards them. Though Kurama turned around as his golden eyes flowed before waving one of its tails as it took a metallic sheen smacking the ball of fire away.
"I don't think it's nice to interrupt a special moment between man and Pokémon. Now Kurama lets teach him a lesson and use Flamethrower," Naruto said as his Pokémon unleashed a torrent of flames only these flames were hotter and much darker as they made the Salazzle jump up in fright as it was engulfed in them.
"SALAZZLE!" The man could do nothing, but watch as his Pokémon was taken out in one simple move and growled in anger, before returning his Pokémon back to its pokeball." Nidoking show that overgrown fox a little lesson," Nidoking roared as it stomped towards Kurama who growled ready to unleash another Flamethrower.
KINGGG
Nidoking was suddenly attacked by a flying King who had his glowing horn hit the shiny Nidoking right on the chest sending him flying back and landing right in front of the red head man. Who simply looked down at his Pokémon with disappoint and shamed his head.
"I knew I should've brought my other Pokémon, but then again I didn't expect for any difficulties," the man returned his downed Nidoking before turning away.
"Hey where do you think your going," Naruto said.
"I am going back to base to report my unfortunate failure. Though it will mean more eyes will be on you then they were before," the man said.
"What makes you think I'll let you get away," Naruto said getting up.
"Because if you try to chase me. Your Pokémon will only suffer more for it," The man pointed at his down Blaze and Leo who looked worse for wear. As Naruto grinder his teeth knowing they needed immediate help, with King also breathing ragged." Now is your choice young Naruto will it be the bad guy or your Pokémon." The man didn't wait for an answer and walked away as Naruto glared at him once last time, before he rushed over to his downed Pokémon.
"Hey, hang in their guys. Don't worry help will come soon," Naruto said, though he didn't know for sure, but with all this ruckus it would sure get the polices attention.
Nido King
Naruto quickly had to go towards King when he fell face first, but Kurama made sure he didn't land to harsh as he gently laid him down.
"Damn now King this ain't looking to hot," Naruto said.
"NARUTO!" Z came out of the building looking a little damaged.
"Z thank god your okay. Wait where is Ghost," suddenly he was kicked by an invisible force that turned out to be Ghost appearing in front of him giggling." Good to see you again bud."
"What happen out here and what happened to Blaze, King, and Leo. Who are you?" Z said as she looked at the damage done to the surrounding area and the Pokémon, but was taken aback by the new Pokémon sitting in front of him.
"No time Z we got to get all three of them to a Pokémon center and fast," Naruto retuned the three pokemon to the their pokeballs." Now let's get-," Naruto suddenly collapsed as the three pokeballs rolled away, but Kurama made sure they didn't go far.
"He must've exhausted himself. We got to get them back, Ghost you make sure they are all tied up and me and Kurama will take Naruto back to the center for it," Z said leaving no room for arguments as everyone did their task with Z grabbing Naruto before speeding away with Kurama right behind as Ghost looked around at the downed bodies before giving off a small giggle.
Undisclosed location
A dark room with only the light from a closed computer gave anything in this place a little light as soon a clicking sound was heard as if a door was opening. Soon the computer was flipped open and the light from the screen enlightened the face of the red haired man as he typed something onto his computer for a few minutes until a ringing sound was heard and the man sighed, before accepting the call as a black covered his screen, but the sounds of breathing was all that gave hint that someone was listening.
"So would you like to report anything Sasori," the man on the other screen said with a calm voice, but the now named Sasori could hear the bubbling anger underneath that calm exterior.
"My mission to acquire the information was a failure sir," Sasori said with the word failure not ringing so great on his tongue.
"I can tell as I do not have the drive in my hand," the man said this time making his anger obvious.
"Yes sir and I am sorry, but I had a slight problem. A Uzumaki problem," the word Uzumaki made the man on the other side stop doing what he was doing as he finally opened his eyes showing red.
"That boy is becoming a nuisance, first one of my pet projects is stolen by a member of ours and now this boy interferes in our plans once again," the man glared off to the side contemplating on what to do.
"Sir if you could allow me one more chance I could deal with him properly," Sasori asked wanting to get his revenge on the twerp.
"No, you have already failed me in handling him. Even with your strongest Pokémon, he still beat you and I think it's time I deal with this personally," the man said.
"Sir I'm sure you wouldn't want to make that big of a trip here would you," Sasori said.
"If he keeps meddling with us I might have not choice. Sasori I want you to go and find this man," a picture of a certain poacher appeared on his screen." And offer him a chance to join us the same offer we offered you only bend it in a way that suits his needs. I will send another member to handle the boy and get our prize back."
"Who will you be sending sir?" Sasori asked.
"Someone who has been infiltrating another group in Hoenn for us. Someone you should know very well," the man said as Sasori had wide eyes realizing who he was talking about.
"Sir are you sure he is needed," Sasori asked wondering if it was worth it.
"If you want to chase down the prey. You must send in the hunter to do it," The man has a sinister smirk before cutting the vid out ending the chat.
