Alright Pokémon fans I'm back and I would like to say that first off I'm excited for the new expansions of the sword and shield games. Along with the remakes of Pokémon mystery dungeon which I never got to play as a kid, which makes me sad though I hope to rectify that with these remakes. Also I don't know if I will continue the story into the Galar region as the new anime is just starting so for now I'm just gonna go up to sun and moon. Now I'm going to answer some questions you guys have been asking me for a while now.
How Many shiny Pokémon will Naruto have?
Of course I have more Pokémon that will be shiny for him. A lot actually like 17 or 18 of them. Is it to much o think so, but I lost the fight with myself on it and besides some of these shinies I think are personally cool.
How many Pokémon will he have?
Yeah not gonna lie he is gonna have to many for me to keep track of, but I will try and keep track of them.
Is it both like the Anime and the Games?
Yes so like I said I gave hints that Red exists in this universe and I would like to say that not only is he in here, but so is Blue. Though some things I had to change and you will notice in future chapters.
What is up with the new Ninetails form?
Simple, I wanted to have it look more like the nine tails from the show so that it could have a closer bond with him. Of course I will go on into further detail into it later on in the story, so no spoilers.
Chapter 21: The Perv and the flower girls.
"Ow…Ow….OW!" Naruto held his arm as Doctor Joesph finished stitching up any major wounds he had obtained.
"This would go a lot smoother if you would hold still Naruto," Joesph said.
"Well it's not my fault your literally stitching me up," Naruto sarcastically said.
"It's needed so the wounds would mend faster. Though it would take longer you managed to heal all wounds within a week," Joesph said.
"Well I have been known as a fast healer. Though it might have something to do with my hate for hospitals," Naruto said.
"Yes, yes young man, now just one more and we are done." As Joesph was finish up his work Naruto was staring out towards the open window as the bright sun shined down upon the city, basking it in its glory.
It had been a week since the incident with team rocket as the damage done to the area wasn't to extensive thus construction to rebuild was done within the week. Though the police had to search the underground base to take the information that they were after, before sealing the place back up again. With the data being taken by officer Jenny where they would keep it safe until a higher up would come and collect it for evidence against the organization.
Of course he had to answer some question for her upon her realizing that a trainer was hospitalized with injuries only succumb to battle and he answered all the questions he could, but kept Karin out of the mess as he didn't want for Jenny to arrest a former team rocket member. Of course he had to send Z to make sure she was okay and tell her where he was along with having the task of picking up his Pokémon that were injured during the battle.
"Their you go young Naruto. Now don't go doing anything to stressful unless you wanna be back here with me stitching you up," Joseph said wheeling his chair to the sink cleaning his hands.
"Thanks doc, though me staying out of trouble is harder then you might think," he said getting up and going towards his stuff on the side.
"That's an understatement, though I do owe you a thanks as your actions last night saved my wife," Joesph got up shaking hands with Naruto.
"Don't mention it, I was just doing what was right," Naruto our on his cap, before heading out of the hospital and towards the Pokémon center where he would meet Karin at.
"Hehehe, oh this is good stuff,"
Naruto stopped in his tracks and looked down the corner of a building which housed a very fancy hot spring, which those in celadon viewed as the best in all of Kanto. And right now Naruto was staring at a large blue toad which looked like it was sleeping as on top of it stood a man in a weird get up with his long white hair tied in a ponytail, looking through a peep hole into the spring.
"Why does that white hair seem so familiar," Naruto thought of where he recognized that goofy hair, but shrugged his shoulders optioning to stop this pervert.
"Ooo yes that's it shake it shake it," the white haired man gave a goofy smile as he wrote down what he was seeing.
"You know it's not polite to stare "You know it's not polite to stare at a naked lady," The man jumped at the sudden voice and turned around in fright, before sighing realizing it was just a kid.
"Back off kid I'm busy right now," the pervert said.
"Really, because it looks like your being a real pervert right now," Naruto narrowed his eyes as the man kept looking through the peephole, ignoring him.
"I guess that's how it is," Naruto pulled out one of the few pokeballs he had, releasing the Pokémon inside.
"Ooooo this is to juicy," the man wrote more stuff down, not noticing the looming shadow over him.
Toad
The blue toad Pokemon below the man opened his eyes when the sun stopped beating down on it and upon doing so was hit with a Hypnosis putting it back to sleep. While it's trainer didn't even take notice until he felt himself being pulled away from the small little hole.
"HEY! What the-," the white haired man turned around to find a Gengar sticking its tongue out and licking him in the face over and over again.
"I told you to stop and now you'll face the consequences," Naruto gave a nod to Ghost who giggled before dropping the white haired man.
"AAAHH!"
SPLASH
"Why you brat. I'll- Oh," the man was about to go into a rant, but stopped upon feeling many eyes lay upon him.
He turned around slowly looking into the very angry and pissed off looks of the women he was starting at not even a moment ago.
"Now we can talk this out," he pleaded.
Naruto just smiled as he heard the sounds of agony coming from the old pervert as Ghost and him laughed their asses off. With a part of his mind still pulling at his memories trying to figure out where he had seen that white haired man, but put it to the back as he approached the Pokémon center, entering it to find the place not as full with some trainers already on their way to another gym.
"Naruto over here," Karin waved her hand getting his attention as he walked up to her.
"Hey Karin how have you been. Z has told me you haven't gone out as much," Naruto asked knowing Z had been tasked with watching her to make sure no spare team rocket members had tried to find and capture her.
"Yeah, I've been staying in your room for the time being with Celebi. Though we were able to sneak out without anyone wondering what a mysterious girl is doing in the room of the kid who stopped team rocket," she said as both laughed at his popularity in the last week.
"Well as long as you weren't in any danger. Though I doubt Z would have allowed any danger to come to you," Naruto said.
"Ah that reminds me these belong to you," Karin handed Naruto a batch of pokeballs.
"Ah thanks Karin, I was worried about everyone after the battle. Though Nurse joy stopped by and told me they were all recovering along well," he said putting them back on his belt.
"No problem. Luckily Nurse Joy was able to allow me to take them back when I gave them to her to heal," Karin said.
"I told her to allow for you to watch over them, while I recover," Naruto put away his pokeballs as the two walked away towards the café.
"So what plans do you have for today Naruto," Karin asked as the two found a seat to discuss today's plans.
"Well I mean I can still feel some sore spots, but I was hoping to challenge the gym today. I mean it's why I came to Celadon," Naruto said.
"I figured, though you'll have a difficult time with that," Karin said.
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked.
"The gym leader has banned all trainers from entering her gym after an incident with her daughter that occurred a few days ago," Karin passed over a small new article with Naruto looking at the headline.
Celadon Gym closes until Pervert is Found
"Pervert? What the hell happened while I was out," Naruto asked.
"Well the gym leaders daughter and her friends were apparently bathing at a private hot springs that they owned. When an apparent pervert interrupted them and was chased out, before security could catch him," she said.
"So the lady is shutting down her gym until this apparent pervert is caught and as you can see with all these trainers in the center." Karin motioned with her hand to all the trainers talking and walking throughout the Pokémon center." Most of them have been here for days, while others have moved on hoping to find another gym."
"Ah they wouldn't happened to have a picture of the pervert would they," Naruto asked with a nagging feeling in his head.
"Actually they do," Karin turned the paper he was holding over to show someone that made Naruto face palm.
"Oh no."
"What do you recognize who he is," she asked.
"Yes and with my luck he'll find us before we find him," Naruto got up and started to walk out with Karin following behind him." By the way where is Celebi?" He asked after noticing she wasn't floating around all over the Pokémon center.
"Z is with her right now back at the hotel. She tuckered herself out all week worrying about you," Karin said as the two walked out of the Pokémon center.
"Well let's go get them and then we can maybe talk the gym leader out of this whole situation she has put up," Naruto said.
"YOU!" Both stopped walking and turned around to find the exact person that started this whole mess. Who was sporting many bruises and a broken headband. He sprinted towards them stoping in front of Naruto pointing his finger at him with clear anger in his eyes as Naruto just have a blank stare.
"Yes can I help you," Naruto's voice showed his uncaring nature.
"YOU! Ruined my peeping and waisted my day, because I was running from all those females," the man said.
"Well maybe you shouldn't have been peeping," Naruto said.
"But I must for my brilliant novels are to be made," he said in a voice that caught them both by surprise.
"What the hell are you talking about old man," Karin said.
"Ah you see young believers I am a novelist who writes only the most enduring of stories. Here is an example of one of my novels," The old man showed them a book, one which both recognized. But each had different reactions, with Karin one of disgust and the other of recognition.
"Wait you're the one who writes those smuts," Karin showed her disgust immediately.
"Why yes are you perhaps a fan," the man asked, before getting a surprise kick to the dick.
"PERVERT!" The man fell to the ground in an oof as Karin started to beat down on him.
"Pervy Sage," Naruto stood their wide eyed as he stared at the man who was the former champion of Kalos, the former teacher of his father, and one of the three legendary champions of Konoha to many, but to Naruto he was known as Jiraiya his godfather.
"Now young lady that wasn't very nice," Jiraiya strained to say as he got up, not fully prepared as he had been beaten earlier.
"Well you asked a stupid question. Also you write those smut books," Karin said turning away from the pervert.
"HEY! They aren't smut they are master pieces," he said only to receive a kick to the face.
"Pervert. Let's get out of here Naruto," Karin said grabbing him by the arm and dragging him away from the downed pervert who was massaging his hurt face, but had a thinking face.
"Naruto? Where have I heard that name before," as he thought on where he had heard that name before.
Sometime Later
"Naruto are you okay you've been quiet since we ditched that pervert," Karin asked as she was sitting on her bed stroking Celebi who was loving the attention.
"Nothing you have to worry about. Just something about that man seemed familiar," he said.
"Well he does write those dirty smut books. WAIT! Don't tell me you read those smut books," Karin said pointing an accusing finger at him.
"What? No, damnt Karin I think he's my former godfather," Naruto said stopping Karin in her tracks.
"God father?" She seemed confused and a little shocked.
"Yes and though he may be a writer of those smuts he's also a former champion," Naruto said further shocking Karin.
"Well if he is, how do you know he's your god father," she asked as Naruto didn't answer and simply looked out the window almost in deep thought.
"That's a question for Naruto to tell another time.," Z came down from the ceiling after seeing the look on Naruto's face.
"Oh, okay," Karin said being silent as she knew little to nothing about Naruto, but understood if it was something he didn't want to tell right now. Heck she hadn't even explained her past, but her reasons were solid, but Naruto's was a mystery.
"So any idea on changing the gym leaders mind. Unless you two want to head off to another gym, because I'm not waiting for her to change her mind anytime soon," Z said.
"Well changing the gym leaders mind is like telling a brick wall to move. Those amazon women are to much," Karin said making Naruto snap out of his stupor to look at Karin.
"Wait Amazon?" He asked trying to get confirmation on what she said.
"Yeah Amazon as in she is from Nadeshiko. You know the place ruled by women and the place where most female trainers come from," Karin said raising an eyebrow wondering what he was thinking.
"Z do you remember what the old man taught us on the traditions of Nadeshiko," Naruto asked his partner knowing she was their for all of his teachings on not just Pokémon, but other foreign lands.
"You mean that dumb battle rule where a women must marry the man who has deafened her," she asked almost sounding confused.
"No the other one. The one for gym leaders who are Nadeshiko, that states if the gym leader has for any reason stopped accepting challengers against any male, she must allow one among them to face her to decide if she will accept any more male challengers," Naruto said shocking the two upon that discovery.
"Wait is that true," Karin turned towards Z.
"Yes, as a long time ago their was a gym leader from Nadeshiko who once in charge stopped all male challengers from battling her. So one male went ahead to challenge her to allow others to battle her. He won not only putting that rule to law for all Nadeshiko gym leaders, but trainers period from their," Z said.
"Yes and I plan to use that to challenge her," Naruto said getting up and heading towards the door.
"But what of you lose," Karin asked stopping Naruto in his tracks.
"Then all male trainers are forbidden from challenging the gym," Naruto said, before returning Z and heading out the door with Karin following behind though making sure Celebi was hidden.
Celadon Gym
Inside of the Celadon gym many ladies from old to young were walking around doing the chores that were tasked to them by the gym leader such as cleaning the battlefield of any fallen leaves or broken sticks, while also watering the flowers. While others were taking care of the Pokémon that belonged to either them or the gym leader.
As for the Celadon city gym leader she was busy out in the back yard of the gym teaching a few kids about the proper way to take care of the plants as six girls were each tending to a plant of their own. With the leader being a women of average height, wearing a light green kimono with a black sash as her hair was tied into a bun as she looked at each girl with her green eyes before laying them upon a certain girl who was finding the task a little bit to boring.
"You know that flower won't grow by itself," She said as she watched the girl sigh.
"Mom plants just need water and sun all things Mother Nature can provide," she said.
"True, but just like Pokémon who are seen as individuals so are we. In this world we need one another to help each other out. For us Pokémon are apart of our life and for them the very nature around them," The lady smiled down at the little flower.
"Chika," suddenly from the building came out a small little four legged green Pokémon with a single large leaf on top of its head come running out and cuddling up next to the little girl.
"Hey Chikorita what are you doing here," the little girl said.
"Meganium," our of the building came running a bigger green four legged Pokémon only this one was bigger and had a pink flower around its neck.
"Seems causing trouble. Meganium," the lady petted here pokemon as it leaned into her touch.
These two were Kusa and Erika the leader of the celadon gym and her daughter. The two have lived in celadon for many years with Victoria being a newer gym leader then others giving in fact she's only been running the gym for no more then four years while other Kanto gym leaders have been doing it for far longer with some just a few years ahead of her. Though she has made it difficult for others to get a badge for her as where she came from made her into a strong trainer and now gym leader. Unlike her daughter her grew up here in celadon and thus does not have the drive like her mother does when it comes to Pokémon training.
"Come on Erika lets go inside. The rest of you are done for the day," Kusa said as she walked inside with her daughter in tow.
"Ah, but mom I wanted to hang with my friends," Erika whined.
"Now Erika now is not the time to play around. We must train as some of your Pokémon are kinda lacking in terms of fighting prowess or in case of your Oddish Bravery," Kusa walked into the battle field room where she saw Erikas Pokémon being kept as Chikorita ran over to her friends. A oddish and Bulbasaur both of which were dancing around the grassy terrain.
"Mom they aren't build for battle. I'm not built for battle," she tried to convince her mom that she wasn't fit for being a trainer more or less gym leader like her mother wanted her to be.
"Non sense, all Nadeshiko women are trainers. Why just ask your cousin she is basically shaping up to be a fine trainer," Kusa said with pride making Erika downcast knowing her mother found more pride in her cousin Shizuka, then her.
"Maybe she should be your daughter instead of me," Erika thought with a sad look, one in which her mother didn't notice, but her Pokémon did looking at her with sadden looks.
"HEY! You can't enter in here," a loud voice interrupted the two as they looked towards the entrance to find a few of the ladies blocking the doors as someone tried to push through.
"Sorry, but I don't have time to deal with you lot," Suddenly with a massive heave Naruto burst through the doors and through the ladies tripping and landing on his face in front of the mother and daughter duo." Ow. I think I pushed a little to much," Naruto got up dusting himself off as Erika looked at him in curiosity, while her mother glared at the intruder.
"Just who do you think you are," She said with an authoritative voice that it took Erika by surprise.
"I'm a challenger maim and I'm here to challenge the celadon gym leader," Naruto said getting up.
"Well I am the gym leader here and unfortunate for you I am not accepting gym challenges at the moment. So if you would please apologize to my girls, then you can be on your way," Kusa said.
"Sorry, but I'm not leaving until I get my match and-,"
"I don't think you heard me. I am not accepting challenges and if you do not leave right now, I will have my girls escort you out. And not in the most peaceful way," Kusa said as Naruto looked behind him to see the girls he knocked down glaring at him as they revealed pokeballs.
"Why does it always have to be this difficult. I doubt they'll let me explain," Naruto thought as he went to grab one of his pokeballs.
"STOP!" Yelled Karin as she ran through the doors heaving in exhaustion." Naruto you really got to slow down."
"Sorry Karin. But you know me I gotta go fast," He said laughing.
"Who is this," Kusa asked though she sounded a little less angry.
"I'm his companion and he is head to challenge you," Karin said.
"Well as I told your companion I am not accepting challengers," she said.
"True you can't accept challengers, but you will accept those who call forth the law of the Amazon," Karin said as everyone rose their eyebrows in shock while Kusa glared.
"How do you know that law," Kusa asked knowing it has been a long time since that law was used thus many didn't know about it.
"I was given a very thoughtful lesson on Nadeshiko village and it's customs," Naruto said with a cheeky smile as Kusa glared at him before sighing and smiling at Naruto.
"You do realize what happens if you lose right," Kusa said.
"Trust me when I say I won't lose," Naruto said with determination one which brought a smug smile to Kusa's face.
"Well Erika it seems you will see what makes trainers different. And hopefully you'll learn to appreciate being one and start to become more focused on it just like your cousin," Kusa said as Erika looked down with both Naruto and Karin taken notice.
Soon the battlefield was cleared of any thing that would possibly get in the way of the battle as Karin stood on the side lines where she sat on a bench with Erika sitting next to her while the other girls in the gym were watching from either the balcony or from behind the glass window. As Kusa and Naruto stood apart from each other on the grassy battle field one of which Naruto noticed was built to have more of an advantage to Kusa as the ceiling had windows allowing for the sunlight to beat down onto the field.
"Miss Kusa your pokeballs," a lady with blonde hair walked up to her holding up a tray of pokeballs.
"No need I will use my personal Pokémon," Kusa said shocking the blonde lady along with those around as Naruto just glared and readied himself as he saw Kusa walk over to a wall where a special picture of her and Erika and two other women all sitting down in a beautiful bridge. She removed it as some kind of safe was behind it and she put in a code, before opening it and a few sudden lights she was holding four pokeballs.
"So your going all out against me huh," Naruto was not surprised considering the law made all who were challenged give it their all and he expected much from her.
"Now are you ready…boy," she said boy with as much disdain possible it made Naruto just a little angry.
"Oh I am now Tahlia take flight," Naruto threw his first Pokémon out which happened to be his trusty flying type as she soared throughout the field before resting in front of her trainer.
"Huh, coming at me with type advantage. Well unfortunate for you my Pokémon are trained to handle anything that comes our way. Especially flying types," Kusa then threw one of her pokeballs out as out came a tall green feminine dancer with bouquets for hands as she spun around a few times before striking a dance pose. Naruto raised an eyebrow before raising his poke watch.
Roserade(Grass/Poison): The Bouquet pokemon
It attracts prey with its sweet aroma, then it downs it with thorny whips hidden underneath its arms.
"So are you ready to tango young man," Kusa said as her Roserade spun around once again getting into a battle stance.
"I was ready the moment I entered the gym," Naruto said as he and Tahlia showed their conviction.
"The battle between gym leader Kusa and challenger Naruto will now begin. Both trainers will use four Pokémon and only when ones side Pokémon is unable to battle shall the other be declared the winner," one of the flower girls came up to the podium to be the referee for this match and announce the rules."Now if both trainers are ready….let the battle BEGIN!"
"Roserade use Energy Ball," Kusa called out as her Pokémon raised its flower hands which started to gather green energy till it was compressed into a ball that went sailing towards Tahlia.
"Quick Tahlia Double Team," Naruto called out watching his one bird turn into many as the energy ball hit a fake." Now get in close with Quick Attack," Tahlia then flew down and made a bee like for Roserade hitting her faster then she could react.
"Roserade quick spin and unleash a Dazzling Gleam," Kusa watched as her Roserade opened her eyes looking serious and started to spin while also glowing before beams of light shot out in every direction.
"Tahlia quick use Quick attack to dodge," But it was in vain as Tahlia could dodge so much, before she was grazed on the side by a light causing her to come crashing down.
"Don't let up Roserade go in and use Poison Jab," Roserade landed on her two legs before jumping forward and her flowers were a blur hitting Tahlia multiple times and sending him crashing into a tree.
"TAHLIA!" Naruto watched his Pokémon struggle to get up before purple mist started to come off of her.
"Seems Your our of luck. Not only is your Pokémon not strong enough, but seems she is poisoned as well," Kusa said with a smirk seeing Naruto glare at her, before turning his eyes to his Pokémon and showing worry at seeing her injured.
Karin was watching all of this from the side lines with worry as she saw things go from a stand still to turning in Kusa's favor ever so quickly. It scared her how good she was as the only people she has ever seen battle are the one at team rocket and she knew they weren't even on the same level as Kusa.
"Your friend won't win," Karin turned to Erika when she heard that.
"And why would you assume that," Karin asked with a hint of anger.
"My mom was trained to be the very best in the village along side auntie Diana with the two trying to one up each other at every turn. With auntie Diana coming out on top, but it wasn't until mom beat my grandmother that she was able to peruse her dream of being a great trainer. A great grass type specialist is what she became and soon took over this gym. Crushing challenges left and right all the while training me to surpass my cousin," at that last part she looked down knowing her mother has tried and failed to make her better then Shizuka as Karin looked at her in pity.
"Listen your mother May be the gym leader and a highly skilled trainer, but Naruto has something she does not," Karin looked at Naruto who went in to return Tahlia back to the sidelines.
"It's okay Tahlia we tried, but for now get some rest and I'll let him finish this," Naruto watched Tahlia nod knowing they underestimated their opponent and she guessed who he was going to use next.
"Wise choice, but Roserade will handle anything else from this point so do yourself a favor and quiet. Saves me and the others time in watching you lose," Kusa has full confidence tbat she had this battle in the bag.
"You know for a gym leader your pretty cocky. And her I thought it was supposed to be the other way around," Naruto took out one of his pokeballs as he looked down at it." Alright bud you ready."
"Let's do it."
"Garou heat things up," Out of the pokeball spread flames that made the area round them heated up a little bit.
"A fire type. Please like Roserade hasn't prepared for that type of disadvantage. Now go in and use Shadow Ball," Her pokemon raises its hands firing dark balls of shadows.
"Garou snack then away with Iron Tail," Naruto called out as his Pokémon turned around and started to wave it's metallic tail slapping away the shadow balls and sending some flying back.
"Roserade quick dodge it," Kusa watched as her Pokémon jumped back as the shadow balls hit the spot she was previously in causing a cloud of smoke to cloud their vision.
"Now Garou Flame wheel," out of the smoke came a wheel of fire that barreled into Roserade who only had time to raise her arms before being sent flying back.
"ROSERADE!" Kusa yelled watching as her Pokémon landed on its two feet though stumbled a little.
"Now Garou Flamethrower," Naruto said as his Pokémon unleashed a wave of fire.
"Quick Roserade Hyper Beam," Kusa quickly called out knowing her Pokémon won't be able to dodge it.
Roserade unleashed a large beam that rushed towards the oncoming flames and once the two clashed a power struggle ensued with each putting power into their moves until suddenly the two attacks exploded canceling each other out. Along with causing a huge column of smoke to block everyone's view of the battle field.
"Roserade are you okay," Kusa called out, but all she heard was a slight movement as she saw a shadow emerge showing a barely standing Roserade who turned to her and gave a weak smile."Good job now just wait a moment before-."
"Fire Fang"
Then out of the smoke came a flying Garou who chomped down his flaming mouth onto the already damaged Roserade who wailed in pain, before falling down with swirls in its eyes showing she fainted.
"Ah-Roserade is Unable to battle," the podium girl said shocked along with everyone else at the sudden loss of one of their gym leaders Pokémon, especially one of her aces
"Judging by the look on everyone's faces I assume this is the first time she's lost a battle with her ace Pokémon," Karin asked as she saw everyone's shocked looks.
"Mom has always been able to beat opponents with ease when she unleashes her true strength. Many fall to the first Pokémon she throws out and Roserade is her second strongest, trained to defeat opponents that would have an edge against her such as fire types.
"Well Naruto has always been seen as the unpredictable trainer and you just bare witnessed to that," Karin smiled as Naruto congratulated Garou in his first battle and his first victory.
"I-I lost, but how," The thoughts of Kusa were raging as she returned her downed Pokémon all the while looking at the trainer and his Pokémon celebrating their victory. One which really set her off.
"Don't think just because you've won this is over, boy. I will show you what Celadon's gym is capable of," Kusa said as Naruto petted Garou one last time before getting up and staring at her.
"I know, but for little Garou here it's his first battle with me. Something I couldn't help be proud of, I mean I would think you would feel proud of your Pokémon for putting up a good fight. Just as you do with your daughter," Naruto said.
"My Pokémon will be proud when they beat you and as for my daughter I will be proud of her once she becomes truly fit to be an excellent trainer," Kusa said furthering Erika to look down as Naruto glared at her.
"You should have more faith for your daughter. Just because she's not like others, doesn't mean you can't be proud of her," Naruto said.
"Foolish boy, obviously you don't get it as you will soon enough. That for us Nadeshiko women victory is everything, now let us continue. GO GOURGEIST!" Kusa then sent out an interring pokemon one which Naruto raised an eyebrow at, before raising his poke watch.
Gourgeist(Ghost/Grass) The Pumpkin Pokemon
Singing in eerie voices, they wander town streets on the night of the full moon. Anyone who hears their song is cursed.
"An interesting Pokémon, but one I didn't account for,". Naruto pulled out one of his pokeballs as Garou looked up at him." Let's let the others get a chance okay," with Garou nodding his head, before he walked behind him to view the rest of the match.
"Bring out your next Pokémon so we can end this," Kusa said.
"With pleasure now Ghost take stage," Naruto sent out his mischievous ghost Pokémon who floated around the field giggling, before landing on the ground and giving his fellow ghost type a challenging smirk.
"A battle of ghost types, but let us see which one comes out in top. Now Gourgeist use Shadow Ball." Kusa ordered.
"Ghost counter with your own Shadow Ball," Naruto called out as his Pokémon fires his own ball of energy with the two colliding and creating a small plum of smoke.
"Gourgeist don't let up use Razor Leaf," Her pokemon unleashed sharp leaves into the smoke cutting through it and blowing it away, but showed they hit nothing." What the?"
"Now Ghost use Shadow Claw," Naruto called out as out of the shadow of Gourgeist came Ghost who smirked before swiping his heighten claw.
"Gourgeist quick Double Team," Kusa called out as her one Pokémon became many.
"Ghost quick Shadow Ball fury attack," Naruto called out as his Pokémon started to unleash dark black balls of energy, but each attack was a miss." Where the heck did it go," thought Naruto looking at all the disappearing Gourgeist.
"Now Gourgeist use Phantom Force," Suddenly out from behind Ghost came Gourgeist who slammed into him sending him falling back.
"Ghost you okay," Naruto looked worried, before smirking at seeing his Pokémon jump back up looking like nothing happened.
"Your Pokémon is stronger then I thought. Still my Gourgeist is a lot more trickier," Kusa said.
"Oh you wanna bet. Now Ghost lets darken things shall we," Naruto and Ghost looked at each other with a mischievous look, before he raised his hands as Shadow Balls started to appear and grow very large.
"Gourgeist quick get ready to dodge," Kusa said.
"Now throw it up into the air," Naruto said shocking her and Gourgeist as Ghost flung it into the air where it stayed in the air for a second, before it exploded showering the area in darkness.
"Gourgeist quick Double team," Kusa said upon loosing sight of her Pokémon.
"I don't think so this time. Now Ghost Ice Punch," suddenly a small blue light was seen before disappearing when coming into contact with the ground as Kusa felt the ground erupt.
"Gourgeist quick stay low and don't show yourself," Kusa said.
"Sorry, but that won't be happening now Ghost use Dazzling gleam," Suddenly our of the darkness came a sparkling light that pierced through it and slammed into the doubles and the real Gourgeist.
"Gourgeist get control of yourself and use Shadow Ball," Kusa called out as her Pokémon stopped flying to right itself as it prepared its move, but was spooked by Ghost appearing in front of him with a Shadow Claw at the ready.
"Now Ghost slice it up," Naruto called out as his Pokémon in a fast motion cut the Shadow ball in half causing extensive damage to Gourgeist.
"Gourgeist, NO!" Kusa watched as her Pokémon was blown back landing in front of the tree as he tried to get up.
"Now Ghost end this with Dark Pulse," Naruto watched his Pokémon step towards the downed Gourgeist ready to finish it as Kusa watched on, but seemed calm about the whole thing." What is she doing has she given up on her Pokémon winning," His train of thoughts were cut off as Ghost unleashed his attack as Kusa smirked.
"Now Gourgeist Destiny Bond," Naruto widen his eyes, but could do nothing as Gourgeist had his eyes glow blue while Ghost also glowed blue before the attack hit causing Gourgeist to cry out in pain, before falling down with swirls in her eyes as Ghost cheered in victory, before the blue hue appeared around him again only this time it turned red as Ghost flinched before falling down on his face.
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle," the ref said as both Kusa and Naruto returned their Pokémon to their pokeballs.
"Good job Ghost you put up a good show. Now I'll finish this for you," Naruto said.
"You did well Gourgeist always coming in when I need you. Now my boy this is where the real struggle begins for you," Kusa took out her third Pokémon feeling confident in this one even though she was down by one.
"Yeah well I have faith in all my Pokémon. Garou you ready for another round," Naruto looked back at his puppy who nodded racing onto the field ready for another bout.
"Sending him out again. Well you'll need him to be fast, now Leavanny take stage," Kusa then sent out her next Pokémon one which Naruto was familiar with as he raised his pokewatch.
Leavanny(Grass/Bug) The nursing pokemon
Upon finding a small Pokémon, it weaves clothing for it with leaves, using clutters on its arms and sticky silk.
"Well Garou let's finish this in one go. Use Flame Wheel," Naruto called out as his Pokémon breath Fire, before spinning in a wheel and racing towards Leavanny.
"Hm, Leavanny use Sunny Day," Kusa called out confusing Naruto as Leavanny has a small light in her hands that she let float into the air causing the surrounding area to bask in the sunshine all the while Garou came everywhere closer.
"Why the hell would she do that," both Karin and Naruto thought as Garou jumped into the air ready to connect with Leavanny until in a blur she disappeared." What the? Where did she go?" Naruto looked around as Garou stopped spinning looking around to try and find his opponent.
"Now Leavanny use X-Scissor," suddenly our of the blue came Leavanny hitting Garou in the side with her attack that sent him skidding always.
"Shit. Garou quick use Flamethrower," Naruto called out as his Pokémon got up and unleashed a torrent of flames only for Leavanny to move in a blur to the side.
"Now Leavanny use Energy Ball," Kusa called out as her Pokémon unleashed a ball of green energy that slammed into Garou causing him to whimper in pain.
"Garou Fall back," Naruto said.
"Don't let him, go in and use Leaf Blade," Kusa watched her pokemon raised its hands which were sharper to a point along with it glowing dark green.
"Quick Garou Flamethrower," But Naruto knew it was to late as the next moment saw Leavanny appear in front of Garou who was breathing in thus was not prepared for the two cuts to his face that sent him flying back and into a tree.
"Now finish it," Kusa said as Leavanny raised her blades up.
"Garou you got to get up," Naruto said as he saw his Pokémon struggling to get up.
"Sorry, but your Pokémon is done for now end this Leavanny," Kusa ordered as I'm a blur Leavanny ran towards Garou.
"Shit I gotta think of something fast," Naruto thoughts were racing trying to come up with a way to stop Leavanny as he knew she was faster in strong sunlight. Making Garou's Fire attacks worthless, then it hit him as he widen his eyes." Garou use Flame wheel to protect yourself," With those words Garou quickly started to spin on its side as flame wheel started to burn the small patch of grass around him with Leavanny having to stop and jump back lease she be hit.
"Hm, smart strategy boi, but it won't save you. Now Leavanny Solarbeam," Then the next instance Leavanny fires a beam of light that collided with Garou causing a massive explosion.
"GAROU!" Naruto yelled as out of the smoke Garou came falling down with swirls in his eyes.
"Growlithe is unable to battle," the red said upon seeing Garou.
"Seems you are more skilled, then other male trainers. Though in the end it won't help you win, for I'll make sure of it," Kusa said as Naruto returned his Pokémon to his pokeball.
"You did good in your first gym Garou. I'm proud of you," Naruto praises his Pokémon feeling his happiness even inside his pokeball as he looked back at Kusa with a smirk." I'll admit your one challenging gym leader, though if you think I've given my all your sourly mistaken," Naruto smirked at Kusa who gave a challenging smirk back as on the side lines both Erika and Karin were watching the match with intensity, but making comments about it all.
"Your friend really is strong. Not many trainers can say they have pushed my mom to this level. Though Leavanny with Sunny day out is a combo I don't know if your friend can handle," Erika said.
"Oh don't be fooled Naruto has yet to show you his true power," Karin said as Erika looked at her with a raised eyebrow not knowing that Karin was aware of who is other Pokémon he hasn't sent out is.
"Alright Kusa since your Leavanny has been through the ringer with one of my newer Pokémon let's see you handle one of my pros. Now Tahlia re-enter the stage," Naruto sent out his bird once again as it flew across the field looking better then before thanks to the rest.
"Brining our your already injured friend. For a strong trainer your not very wise," Kusa said.
"Oh trust me when I say if there is one Pokémon that can get this job done it's Tahlia," Naruto smirked as Kusa laughed at his challenging gesture.
"Fine, then you shall receive it full force. Now Leavanny use Leaf Blade," Kusa called out as her Pokémon rushed towards the bird.
"Tahlia quick fly up," Naruto called out as his Pokémon started to fly up dodging the attack from Leavanny.
"Flying won't save you from us. Now Leavanny use String Shot," Leavanny started to Fire sticky webs ones which Tahlia flew around and down trying not to get hit by them.
"Tahlia now use Double Team," Naruto said noticing Tahlia starting to pant more, thus more of her showed up forcing Leavanny to stop as to look at the many clones of her.
"Don't let that stop you, use Razor Leaf," Kusa called out as Leavanny started to send out sharp leaves that cut through the fakes. Though none seemed to be the real one.
"Now Tahlia use Wing attack," then from out of the trees came Tahlia who smashed her wings into Leavanny sending her flying back.
"Leavanny now get up and use String shot," in that fast moment Leavanny used the momentum to shoot her silky string at Tahlia hitting her and landing on her feet as she pulled hard causing Tahlia to be pulled back and falling down in the process.
"Tahlia quick use Wing attack to break free," Naruto called out.
"No you don't, Leavanny pull her in and use X-Scissor," Kusa called out with her Pokémon using all her strength to tug Tahlia towards her, before raising her sharp blades and bringing them down in an X motion. Which hit Tahlia sending her flying back, but freeing her of the string shot.
"Tahlia are you okay," Naruto frantically asked as he saw the move hurt a lot, but sighed upon seeing his Pokémon stand up. Though he winced as he saw her already pretty damaged up along with the Poison still affecting her.
"Seems it is the end of the line for your Pokémon. Call it back, before it gets inured any more," Kusa said.
"Sorry, but us giving up is not something we're looking to do. Tahlia you still good," Naruto looked at his flying bird to see her turn towards him and smirk showing she was still willing to go.
"I did give you the option. Now you will pay, Leavanny use Razor Leaf," Kusa watched her Pokémon unleash sharp leaves upon the hurt bird.
"Tahlia quick Double Team," Naruto called out with his Pokémon flying up before starting to multiple. Though it wasn't helping as the leaves were cutting them down fast, as Tahlia started to dodge and weave breathing even harder with each move.
"Got you. Now Leavanny use String shot," Her pokemon shot out her web hitting the already tired Tahlia.
"Tahlia you got to escape," Naruto was worried knowing that she couldn't take much more damage.
"To late now use Solarbeam," Leavanny then raises her head as she fired off the beam of energy at the struggling Tahlia as Naruto widen his eyes, before an idea popped into his mind.
"Tahlia dive, NOW!" Naruto yelled as Tahlia quickly let gravity take control as she fell to the floor dodging the Solarbeam.
"WHAT!"
"Now use Brave Bird," Tahlia in a burst of flames escaped the webs and used the momentum of the fall to fly directly towards the recovering Leavanny.
"Leavanny use X-Scissor," Kusa knew Leavanny wouldn't be able to dodge it in time and thus when Leavanny raised her arms to attack did the two collided having a small stand still, before and explosion occurred and smoke filled the battle field.
"What happened? Where did they go," Karin tried to peak through the smoke as did many others, before two shadows could be seen as the smoke started to clear up.
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle thus it ends in a draw," the ref said upon seeing both Pokémon down.
Kusa smirked as she looked at Naruto seeing him battle and come up with ways to counter her. She hadn't had such a exciting battle since her beginning time as gym leader. Now a days it was always go easy especially when using her Pokémon, but for Naruto he was different. He didn't come in acting cocky expecting to win, he came in with an attitude of trust and compassion for his opponent and Pokémon. All and all it made him a powerful trainer and got her thinking of something.
"Good job Tahlia you did amazing, but now I think it's time to finish this," Naruto our Tahlia back into her pokeball, before pulling out his last Pokémon. But Kusa raised her hand stopping him from sending out his Pokémon.
"I admit Naruto you have peaked my interest and your battling skills is impress. So since you innovated the Amazon rule. I shall use the Nadeshiko law of battling, should I beat you. Then we'll your hand of marriage shall go to my daughter," Kusa said shocking all those present and making Naruto go wide eyed.
"SAY WHAT!" He yelled.
"Mother what are you doing," Erika asked getting up and staring at her mother in disbelief.
"Making sure your future partner is one of skill and strength. And young Naruto here fills all those rolls," Kusa said.
"But the match is already underway," Karin spoke out.
"Yes, though for Nadeshiko challenges it only requires one Pokémon for one on one battle," Kusa said.
"So you want to battle me for a chance to get your daughter a future husband. One in which she doesn't have a choice in the matter," Naruto spoke up after getting over his shock.
"For my daughter every choice maters. And I plan to make sure they help her achieve greatness," Kusa said.
"Fine I'll face you, but you know if you lose she will have to leave this place and come with me. Are you willing to put your daughter up like that," Naruto stared into Kusa's eyes wondering if she was being serious, but looking into them he knew she was being completely serious.
"Oh trust me I know and my final Pokémon will make sure of that," Kusa reaches into her dress pulling out a necklace that held a special pokeball. This one being a yellow and black striped ball, one which got everyone to widen their eyes.
"Mom really is going all out," Erika said.
"Wait what?" Karin asked.
"Now lead to me victory my old friend," Kusa threw out her ultra ball as it released a fast moving green blur that wrapped around one of the trees popping its head down and glaring at Naruto with its piercing red eyes.
"Oh this ain't good," Naruto raised his pokewatch.
Serperior(Grass) The regal Pokémon
It can stop its opponents movements with just a glare. It takes in solar energy and boosts it internally.
"Wow, that's a big snake," Karin said looking at the larger then average Serperior.
"Serperior is moms ace Pokémon and was her starter when she started her journey. In fact, before she used the gyms official Pokémon her serperior was always her go to and as far as I know she only lost one battle." Erika looked at Serperior having not seen it in years.
"Well I mean it might be big, but it couldn't be that strong could it," Karin asked wondering if maybe she was over extracting.
"No I've seen it battle and it tore apart her opponent like no other," Erika remembered the last match her Serperior had and it didn't even let the opponent get a move in.
"If that's true, then Naruto's last Pokémon better be ready," Karin thought worried if what she said was true.
"Guess if you're gonna go all out. Might as well bring out your ace," Naruto smirked accepting the challenge." Now Kurama heat things up." Naruto's newly evolved Pokémon burst into the field with a mighty howl as his crimson red fur pushed out a fire aura.
"Interesting pokemon you have their though I have never seen one like it," Kusa said.
"Yeah well you can call it a newly evolved form for ninetails. One you'll have a hard time facing," Naruto said.
"Oh trust me Serperior is more then enough to handle tour little fox," Kusa's words made Kurama growl as Serperior came down from the tree and growled back at Kurama. With the two having a stare that caused everyone to lean back at the aura they were exhausting.
Outside the Gym
"Damn kids never understanding the art of literal," Jiraiya was walking down the road trying not to make it obvious he was hurting down below.
As Jiraiya was walking down the road he was suddenly pushed as a couple of kids ran past him with Jiraiya about to yell at them, but saw others running with them and curious followed after them. Which lead him back to the Celadon gym where he saw a crowd of people gathered around the window looking in on something.
"What are you all staring at," Jiraiya asked the closer person.
"It's a battle between the gym leader and some blonde haired kid," one kid said.
"Apparently he's battling for the right to let others challenge the gym leader once again," another trainer said.
"Yeah and so far he's gotta her down to one Pokémon," another trainer said.
"Yeah buts he's down to his last one as well," the first kid said.
"Yeah, but have you seen his Pokémon they are so impressive. He was even able to take down her main Pokémon," the second kid said as they started to argue on who would win, Jiraiya was thinking on who the impressive trainer might be.
"This trainer must be very impressive to be able to beat almost all of Kusa's Pokémon. Especially if she is using her actual team. Maybe I should take a look and see just who this trainer is," Jiraiya started to back away, before releasing one of his Pokémon to help him scale the gym and look down from the window seal above." What the its that kid."
Jiraiya looked down at the blonde haired kid who got him caught by so many of the women at the bathhouse. Then he saw the red haired girl who beat him senseless, as he looked down at them he started to get a nagging feeling in his head. Feeling like he has seen that kid before, but where?
Back to the battle
"Alright, then shall we get started," Naruto spoke.
"We shall, now Serperior use Energy Ball," Kusa called out as her Pokémon unleashed energy balls.
"Kurama use Quick attack to dodge and send out a Flamethrower," Naruto's fox Pokémon sped around the field dodging the dangerous energy balls, before jumping back and unleashing a torrent of flames.
"Serperior use Dragon Pulse to counter," Kusa watched the two attacks cancel each other out.
"Kurama rush in with Flame Charge," our of the smoke came a blazing Kurama rushing towards Serperior.
"Now Serperior Aqua Tail," Kusa called out as her Pokémon rushed in ducking underneath the flaming fox, before slamming his watery tail into Kurama, but he just jumped onto his feet glaring at Serperior.
"Easy Kurama we have to be careful. Because it seems he's just as fast as you," Naruto said.
"Oh honey you haven't seen anything just yet. Now Serperior use Leaf Storm," Kusa watched as a bunch of leaves started to gather around Seperior before they rushed towards Kurama.
"Quick Kurama use Fire Blast," Kurama fires a kanji of fire clashing with the storm and burning the leaves as they fell to the ground, but the distraction allowed Serperior to sneak up behind him.
"Now Serperior use Leaf Blade."
"Kurama quick challenge it with Iron Tail."
The two attacks collided as the two Pokémon were struggling to gain the upper hand on one another. Before going into a set of clashes with both using Tail and blade as each clash shook the ground around them, before each separated finally able to gain their breath back.
"Serperior quick use Coil," Kusa watched her Pokémon wrap itself together as it's energy gathered around her.
"I don't think so. Kurama use Confuse Ray," Naruto called iut as his Pokémon shot off small glowing balls of light.
"Quick Serperior go underground," Her pokemon quickly dogged underground as the lights floated above missing their target.
"Kurama keep on your toes no telling where he might show," Naruto said as his Pokémon nodded looking around ready for anything. With Kusa looking up at the ceiling and smiling upon seeing the shining bright light still up.
"Now Serperior lets give them a little surprise. Use Double team and Leaf Blade," suddenly the ground started to shake, before our of it came a dozen Serperior who tried to hit Kurama as he used Quick attack to dodge most of them.
"Quick Kurama use Flamethrower," Naruto watched the torrent of flames spit out and hit all the oncoming Serperiors.
"Now Serperior use Solarbeam," Suddenly the holes that all the clones came from started to glow, before the ground underneath him started to crack.
"Oh shit, Kurama. DODGE!" Naruto yelled, but it was to late as the ground underneath Kurama broke apart and he was blasted up into the air.
"Now lets end this with your ultimate move Serperior. Use Frenzy Plant," as Serperior came up he raised his tail slamming it into the ground as it started to shake even more. Breaking apart and giving way to a giant tree.
"KURAMA!" Naruto saw his Pokémon was still in the air and knew he wouldn't be able to dodge it and thought of a move to counter the powerful move.
"You can't stop this. Now just let it happen," Kusa said.
"Kurama wake up. You got to do soemthing….KURAMA!" Naruto yelled.
Inside the mind of Kurama he was walking around in a dark void area almost as if trying to find something, but stopped upon hearing a voice. Turning to one side, then the other he heard the shout again only this time it was clearer and soon the voice was blaring as Kurama ran around spotting a light ahead and ran at top speeds into the light. Soon enough Kurama snapped his eyes wide open as he looked around seeing himself in the air and Serperior readying up an attack. But his eyes suddenly turned towards the bright light and saw the Sunny day right in his face and as he kept staring at it something in his mind kept nagging at him to do something about it.
"Kurama what are you- WHAT THE!" Naruto yelled upon seeing Kurama open his wide jaw and chop down on the sunny day therefor ending the blazing heat.
"What is wrong with tour Pokémon- WHAT!" Kusa along with everyone watching were shocked as the fur around Kurama suddenly turned bright orange and bringing about a very hot aura.
"Woah. Kurama what happened to you," Naruto said to himself as he saw the energy around Kurama start to gather as his nine tails started to pour energy in front of his open mouth.
"You think this will stop us I don't think so. Now Serperior end this," Kusa said as her Pokémon sent out the large tree roots at Kurama with Naruto widening his eyes about to call out a move.
"Beast Bomb."
"What the. Who was that?" Naruto asked.
"It's me Naruto. Kurama now use my new move. Beast Bomb," Kurama spoke with Naruto to shock to really question it.
"Now Kurama go Beast Bomb."
Then in the next instant Kurama unleashed his attack as the Frenzy plant came soaring towards him and in that instant two things happened. One Jiraiya has finally realized where he had seen the blonde and who he reminded him of. The next thing was the force of the attack Kurama unleashed as it was a beam of pure energy and power. That cut through and burned the large tree toot shocking Serperior who only had time to widen his eyes, before the attack hit him causing a massive explosion that shook the gym and almost shattered the windows.
"Aah what the hell happened," Karin asked as she got up from the ground along with most of the girls.
"What was that attack," Erika asked wondering what type of attack that was.
"But what about the battle," Karin asked as everyone looked at the dusk clouds starting to disappear, before two shadows were seen.
"Serperior is unable to battle therefore the winner of this battle goes to Kurama and Naruto," the ref said upon seeing Kurama the only one standing.
"We won…WE WON! Kurama we did it," Naruto ran over giving his fox Pokémon a hug as the others who battled came out of their pokeballs feeling the battle was over and started to celebrate in joy.
"I lost…," Kusa was standing their in shock as she looked at her downed Pokémon with many thoughts facing through her mind. Many not so good, but she came to one conclusion….she had fun.
"You did a great job and I'm so proud of you," Naruto said to all his Pokémon.
"I'll be the first to admit. You got me and your strength was something even I didn't think you could pull off. Especially that last move," Kusa said as she walked towards them after returning her Pokémon.
"Thanks Kusa. Though you didn't make it easy," Naruto said as he laughed.
"I gave you my all and you were still able to win. Very impressive indeed," Kusa signaled to one of the girls who brought over a small case as she grabbed something from inside of it." As a congratulations on beating me you have earned the Rainbow badge." Kusa gave Naruto the badge to prove he had beat her and as he took it and looked at it his smile couldn't be held anymore.
"Alright. WE GOT THE RAINBOW BADGE!" He jumped up along with his Pokémon striking a pose.
"And as per our agreement I shall allow others to challenge me once again. Along with my daughter going with you," she said.
"Actually about that," Naruto started to say.
"What is it?" She asked.
"How bout instead of me basically taking your daughter as my wife and away. How bout I take her to explore the world, to gather the knowledge she needs to not only become stronger, but to help her find her place in the world," Those words made Kusa look at him a bit in shock.
"You would do that," Kusa asked.
"I would do that for her. Not because of our battle, but because I want to. Your can't become a great Pokémon trainer is you don't travel a little," Naruto said as Kusa looked down thinking on it, before turning towards her daughter and seeing the look in her eyes. One she hadn't seen for a long time and one she saw in herself back in her younger days.
"Yes I think thaf would suit her just fine," She said as she smiled at her daughter who smiled back.
"Then it's settled. Erika what do you say," Naruto turned towards her daughter.
"I would gladly join you," she said with a bright smile as everyone cheered at the future decision of Erika.
While everyone was celebrating a certain perv was walking away having seen enough of the battle and heard of the conversation to understand what was going on. As his thoughts raged with many different things going through them. With the primary one being the fate of that young blonde boy who they thought was dead. Had just won against a gym leader. It made Jiraiya feel guilty and upset, because he knew he wasn't the one who helped him to grow into the fine trainer he is now.
"Now the real question is. Should I tell Minato and Kushina or not," that question would rage in his mind all the way until the next town.
I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT.
I lost track of time and had no idea where I even put this chapter or what it was about. Like you could tell some of this was rushed especially at the end. Though to be fair I wanted to get it done with and put out onto the site.
Anyway as you can see Naruto has gotten another win underneath his belt witb some of his Pokémon showing off their skills. While others are a different story, also I would like to say that from this point in certain gym leaders will be changed to match the progression of the story weather for good or bad you decide. Anyway if you have any questions feel free to ask and I will see you all later.
