(Saffron City)
Naruto and his group stood in front of the gates to the Saffron Gym, home of Sabrina the psychic type gym leader "Hey Kurama how much you wanna bet Gary just went by this place?" he asked his partner
"10 bucks says he passed it" Kurama said as he knew the annoying ass that was Gary
"Then you and me are on the same side of the bet" Naruto said with a chuckle
"Knowing Gary he's probably not even getting all his badges from the official gyms" Misty said
"I wish the league rules would have someone need to get badges from the official gyms but that'd really hurt everyone trying to get into the league, but hey a badge is a badge even if they aren't one of the good ones" Naruto said
"Well technically he's not breaking any rules he's only skipping the high ranked gyms" Iris said to them as it was a cheap tactic it wasn't illegal
"If there should be a rule it should be trainers shouldn't travel by car" Serena said as it felt like a cheap way to do the journey
"If I had a car it'd be a lambo paint it slick orange" Naruto said
"So who's your team gonna be for this match?" Dawn asked Naruto
"Well Gengar and Phantump since they're ghost types" Naruto said as he wanted to use them
"And me makes three" Kurama said as he cracked his neck ready to go
"And Zorua makes four, keeping in mind gyms allow you to use all your pokemon, if the leader allows it" Naruto said to him reminding him of that
"I heard Sabrina let's you use the max at 6" May said to them informing them of what she heard
"confident huh?" Naruto asked as ether Sabrina was overconfident or she was that good
"more like psycho from what I heard" May said with a shiver
"I heard if you lose you get turned into a doll for her to play with" Misty said
"no way the league wouldn't allow that" Naruto said rolling his eyes at how stupid rumors got
"Go away" A man said appearing out of nowhere spooking them
"What's the big idea coming out of nowhere and scaring the crap out of us pops?" Kurama said angrily
the man fell back in shock hearing Kurama yell at him
"Sabrina is much too powerful she will turn you into her playthings if you lose" the man said
Naruto smiled at this and Misty slapped him in the back of the head "Ow, what'd I do?" he said
"Don't play innocent horndog" Iris said with a light glare as she knew what was probably going through his head
"None of you are psychics you won't stand a chance against her" The man said to them morbidly
"How do you tell if someone is or isn't?" Naruto asked curious wondering what the human test was
"Bending a spoon with their mind" The man said holding a spoon
"Wow that's really useful" Naruto said flatly clearly not impressed thinking that was a parlor trick at best
"Well if you think you're not good enough to try it" The man said
"Give me that" Naruto said as he looked at the spoon and focused curiously
Everyone then saw as Naruto's eyes began to glow blue as did the spoon before it glowed like fire before bending and then snapping
"A-aura?!" the man yelled in fear as he looked at Naruto
"What now?" Naruto asked raising a brow
"Naruto, you know what a Lucario is right? May asked
"Yes I still have the riolu and gible eggs on me" Naruto said pointing to his backpack
One of the eggs jumped at the attention since Naruto's eyes were still glowing
"Quit with the glowing eyes, that's getting creepy" Serena said
"What is aura anyway, is it anything like being a psychic?" Naruto asked wondering what it meant
"Aura is a form of spiritual energy, it is the essence of every living creature. Lucario can actually use aura, and there are a rare sort of humans who can as well they become Aura guardians, defending the world from evil, and teach it to others like them" the man said
"So I'm some sort of super hero?" Naruto asked raising a brow
"I mean many heroes that have been recorded have used aura" the man said as it was the truth
"What can I do with it?" Naruto asked before receiving a pamphlet "Really?" he asked
"We have one ready just in case a aura user shows up here" the man said
"And why would you need it?" Naruto asked
"This gym is not only a gym it is where people who are also psychic can go to train and learn to control their abilities" the man said as that was the truth as this place helped people with special 'talents'
"Aura vision, transference, projection, the heck is a time flower? Spiritual sensory, frequency resistance empowerment, transmission, communication?" Naruto said reading the pamphlet as this all sounded kinda cool
"A time flower revolves around the mythical pokemon Celebi" The man said
"Whatever, I'm here to fight Sabrina to get my fourth badge so move it buddy" Naruto said as he wanted to get this started
"This is only your fourth badge? dead man walking!" the man yelled to the rest of the gym who laughed
"Shut it asshole" Kurama said throwing him out of the way
"Either move out of the way, or get moved" Naruto said to the others inside the gym
"Your funeral, good luck your gonna need it" the man said as he groaned from the ground
The group walked in after Naruto and soon approached some big doors which opened automatically
"Creepy" Dawn said getting weird vibes from this place
"I think Sabrina knows we're here now" Naruto said as he just had a feeling
"How do you know?" Iris asked wondering how he could know that
"I felt a tingle in my brain" Naruto said as he was starting to think this was the real deal
They entered through the doorway and saw a big battle area
"What are you?" a female voice said to them more accurately at Naruto
"A man?" Naruto said stating the obvious
"A fucking moron" Kurama said clarifying a little
a light shined on the other side of the arena which showed a woman with dark greenish hair she had mid DD-cup breasts, a round plump ass, and curvy but well built body
What got everyone's attention was the little girl sitting in her lap
"A doll?" Naruto said as he got weird vibes from the toy like one would get from a horror movie
"Wanna play?" The girl said
"Okay now that's creepy" Kurama said as this was becoming very horror film scary
"I am Naruto Ketchum of Pallet Town and I have come to challenge you!" Naruto said to her
"interesting I feel no fear from you" Sabrina said sounding both impressed and intrigued
"He's too stupid to get afraid" Kurama said as that was his honest opinion
"A talking pokemon? I wanna play with it!" the doll said making Kurama take a few awkward steps back as he was not interested in learning the doll's preferred method of 'play'
"Be glad I don't have my other one out here those two can argue for hours" Naruto said as he chuckled at that
"Ah screw you" Kurama said as he raised his fifth tail signifying he was flipping Naruto off
"If you lose you have to play with me as my dolls" The girl said to Naruto
"I see myself as more a action figure but okay" Naruto said as he was willing to accept those terms
"I am nobody's play thing you bitch!" Kurama yelled
"Then prove that your a worthy opponent" Sabrina said glaring at Kurama before the girl on her lap threw a pokeball releasing a Hypno "3 on 3" she said
"Alright then, Kurama show that Hypno what you got" Naruto said
"A fire type?" Sabrina asked scoffing at this choice
"Fire and dark type" Naruto said with a smirk
"Yeah bitch I know ghost type moves too" Kurama said proudly
Sabrina's eyes glowed as her hair moved and waved "Someone should teach you manners" she said keeping her face neutral despite being bothered by what Kurama said but she did have a moment where she
'Increase the glare and give her longer red hair and she'd be like the kids real mom' Kurama thought
"Damn that's hot" Naruto said finding Sabrina attractive
"He really is a perv isn't he?" Sabrina asked not used to this reaction from her opponents and could tell from the girls that had
"Girl you have no idea" Kurama said shaking his head
"Ah enough talking let's get this started" Naruto said
Hypno suddenly fired off a psybeam and Kurama jumped up to dodge
"Right, psychic she can give mental orders to her pokemon" Naruto said
"That shit won't matter" Kurama growled as he started to spin as flames started to form around his body and he slammed into hypno
"Are you psychic or do you just allow your pokemon to do what it wants?" Sabrina asked not liking Kurama any better
"nah we just trust each other" Naruto said with a smile
"Tolerate is more my case" Kurama said snickering
"Love you too" Naruto said with a laugh at Kurama
"Hmm you must be an idiot, idiots minds are harder to read" Sabrina said as she got nothing from Naruto
Kurama began laughing his head off hearing that
"Yeah like the mean boy with a wartortle the doll said
"Gary actually tried taking you on?" Naruto asked actually surprised as he figured he's just go past it
"Ugh he was so pathetic we let him go" Sabrina said
"With a badge?" Naruto asked
"What? No." Sabrina said as she had standards
"He was too stupid so I didn't want to play with him" the doll said
"Ha! can't wait to rub this one in his face" Kurama said
"The girls have very… weird things going through their minds about you Naruto" the doll said
The girls faces lit up red with embarrassment wondering if they were gonna be ratted out
"Enough of this" Sabrina said as she looked at hypno who used recover to heal
"gah! I hate that cheap move!" Kurama yelled as he growled and slammed his tail on the floor leaving a dent
Hyno's eyes glowed as a shining outline came over Kurama but it did nothing
"You've never gone up against a dark type have you?" Naruto asked
"Dark types are immune to psychic attacks" Kurama said smugly
"Shadow ball" Naruto said with a smile at his pokemon
Black spheres appeared at the end of Kurama's tails who began spinning as he launched a barrage of shadow balls
Hypno groaned as the attacks sent back hitting a wall
"Damn I'm good" Kurama said as he laughed at his victory
Sabrina glared at kurama
"You hurt my friend!" the doll yelled clearly upset at hypnos loss
"Well at least you care about your pokemon" Naruto said relieved that Sabrina obviously loved her pokemon
Another ball floated over and let out her next pokemon
"Alakazam!" the pokemon said holding up two spoons
Naruto saw a mega stone around its neck
Kurama growled as Sabrina rolled up her sleeve to show a mega ring
"Damn we need one of those" Naruto said remembering what happened last time to Kurama when he fought Marnie
"Yeah mega stones aren't exactly useful without a key stone to activate it" Kurama said
"Gonna try and run?" Sabrina asked smugly to Kurama
"Hell no! bring it on I ain't losing to another mega pokemon! Kurama yelled determined to not lose
Sabrina tapped her keystone as tendrils of energy shot from her and Alakazam before they connected making Alakazam glow when the glow died down we see it floating indian style with its feet crossed along with a longer mustache but also a beard , it had three more spoons but the five were floating around it and it also had a red gem on its forehead and it also looked like it was wearing robes
5 thunderbolts shot from the spoons
Kurama quickly dodged them nearly getting hit before charging at Mega Alakazam and bit it with a fire fang before getting smacked by one of the spoons as he was still biting the mega pokemons arm
Mega Alakazam easily settled itself as Kurama slid back to his side
"None of our attacks are gonna mean anything if her pokemon just keep healing themselves" Kurama said
"Do you know any powerful dark type moves?" Naruto asked Kurama hoping he had a ace up his sleeve
"I could try Foul Play" Kurama said hoping to play on the moves ability to deal damage to those with high attack status
The five spoons began to spin before they began shooting stars at him
kurama charged at his opponent and unleashed his attack
Mega Alakazam slid back before beginning to glow green
"Wait..." Kurama said before his eyes flashed for a quick minute before the green glowing stopped
"What?" Sabrina said surprised at this development
"I forgot I know recover as well and also disable along with imprison" Kurama said as he panted a little
"Hmmm impressive" Sabrina said
Kurama charged as his tails glowed silver before beginning to slam his tails against the mega pokemon
Mega Alakazam was pummeled into the ground making a crater in the floor it glowed and turned back to normal as it passed out
"You're paying for the repairs to my gym" Sabrina said with a glare
"it ain't my fault he can't take a beating all psychic types have glass jaws Kurama said laughing
"I am going to turn you into a doll and break you" The doll said as its eyes glowed
"You think psychic types can't get physical huh? prepare to be proven wrong" Sabrina said as she let out her final pokemon
"Medicham!" a pink tall pokemon called out as it took a fighting stance
"Kurama's at a disadvantage now, fighting types are super effective against dark types" Iris said as this wasn't gonna be pretty
"I ain't scared of you pinky!' Kurama yelled
Medicham blasted at him and kicked him right in the face sending him flying past Naruto and the others
Kurama groaned as he got up before spitting out a few teeth
"Damn that pokemon kicked your ass" May said looking at Kurama
"I hate fighting types" Kurama said with a growl
"I think it's time to switch out, you've already fought two pokemon one being a mega" Naruto said as there was little chance Kurama was gonna make it to the next round
"Yeah you proved you're not a weakling" Serena said with a smile at Kurama
Kurama walked over to the others and sat down "You're lucky my teeth grow back" he said
"I hope that wasn't your best pokemon" Sabrina said
"I just… Haunter what the heck are you doing?" Naruto asked seeing the Haunter that wanted to tag along over there with Sabrina
Haunter laughed as he began making faces at the doll and Sabrina before pulling out a bomb out of who knows where which exploded covered him, Sabrina and the doll in soot
Sabrina smiled at this before beginning to laugh as did her Medicham
the doll smiled and disappeared as this happened
"Uh… do I win?" Naruto asked seeing the Medicham just rolling around laughing
"Of course not I refuse to let you win Sabrina said catching her breath
"Tell that to your pokemon who won't stop laughing" Naruto said
medicham got up still giggling but was ready to go
"I haven't had this much fun in years so let's end this battle right" Sabrina said with a smile
Naruto smiled at this and pulled out a pokeball "let's do this gengar" he said as he let out his pokemon
The Greyish Gengar appeared and flexed at medicham ready to fight
Pokeballs on Dawn and Serena opened to show Litwick and Misdreaveus who flew over with Haunter and the trio pulled out flags with Gengar on it and waved them
"So cute!" Dawn said looking at her Litwick who was just smiling and gently waving her flag side to side
"ahhh a gengar most trainers can't handle such a strong pokemon" Sabrina said gald Naruto wasn't just a one trick phony with just one strong pokemon
"yup and physical moves won't work on him right gengar?" Naruto asked
gengar laughed and made a funny face at medicham
Medicham held up a shadow ball and threw it at Gengar's face
Gengar caught it and gained a hard look as it glared at medicham
"See my Gengar loves to make others laugh but it's personality just flips in a battle" Naruto said
Gengar threw the shadow ball at medicham very fast
Medicham slid backwards as it struggled to keep the attack from striking the pokemon but once it hit the wall the shadow ball exploded
Medicham got up amd started to glow green but Gengar appeared in front of it and grabbed its leg and started slamming him into the floor hard repeatedly
"He's as battle frenzied as Kurama and just as strong" Naruto said
"And you let it do what it wants?" Sabrina asked wondering why he gave his pokemon so much freedom
"I think in this case he's doing fine" Naruto said as gengar had medicham in a hold and was trying to make it yell uncle
Medicham's hand glowed as it made a energy ball that it slammed into Gengar's face making it let the pokemon go
"Gengar send it flying with a shadow punch" Naruto said as his gengar had a lot of physical strength despite his ghostly status
Gengar's right fist glowed with shadows as he slammed the fist into the pokemon
"Cham!" Medicham yelled as it was sent flying into the roof making a hole in the rooftop
"You're fixing my gym" Sabrina said clearly not liking the damages done to it
"Can't you?" Naruto asked whining
"And your doing it without a shirt" Sabrina said wanting a show and some entertainment to kill time
"Wait why?" Naruto asked not understanding the no shirt rule
"It's all that is going through their minds" Sabrina said looking at the girls "They have some… pervy inner thoughts about you" she said flatly
"Stay out of our heads!" The girls shouted blushing
"Here is the marsh badge, the first I've given in years" Sabrina said
"let's see people call me weak now" Naruto said with a smile as him beating Sabrina was proof he was anything but a weak trainer
Gengar was on the ceiling trying to get Medicham free from the hole it was in "Gar!" he called out getting the other ghost pokemon to lend a hand
"One question, how do you fix a gym?" Naruto asked chuckling as he rubbed the back of his head
"Oh I was kidding maintenance will fox this in no time" Sabrina said waving her hand dismissively
"And your Medicham?" Naruto asked seeing the ghost types struggling to free the psychic and fighting type
"Use teleport" Sabrina said flatly to her pokemon
The pokemon glowed as it was gone making the ghost types fall to the ground
The 4 ghost types got up and pouted at Sabrina as she returned her pokemon
"Did you really want to see me shirtless?" Naruto asked not at all bothered
"That was more them than me" Sabrina said as that was true
"Because I could take it off if you want me to" Naruto said as he had no problems being shirtless
"well you are pretty cute" Sabrina said with a smirk
"Stop corrupting my daughter!" The man from earlier said before he then began floating in the air courtesy of Sabrina
"That's your dad?" Naruto asked
"Yes, see for so long I have not really showed emotion, and so the child was made, almost like a alternate personality, turning people into dolls to play with me" Sabrina said
"Wait that was real?" Naruto asked looking at the dolls in wonder
"The first person I turned was my mother" Sabrina said sadness in her voice
"Wait, if the doll's gone, shouldn't all the dolls you've had turn back to normal?" Naruto asked
"Yes but my room is locked so let's go free them" Sabrina said as her room was always locked as she liked privacy
"Your room, I think we're moving rather quickly" Naruto said before Iris hit him on the head
"behave!" Iris said
"See how they treat me Sabrina?" Naruto whined
Sabrina hugged Naruto "You are very… whipped is that the word?" she said
Kurama began rolling on the ground laughing at Naruto
"I wish I was whipped at least whipped guys get laid sometimes" Naruto said with a pout
All the girls hit him on the head making him groan
(Half an hour later)
Naruto exited the gym with a grin
"What will you do now?" Misty asked Sabrina
"I will keep helping fellow psychics so they don't end up like I did, while also traveling so I can learn more about psychic pokemon and become a better psychic myself" Sabrina said
"Here's my number" Naruto said having her a piece of paper
Haunter grabbed the piece of paper laughing
"Guess he wants to go with you" Naruto said with a smile
"Always good to have someone to make you smile" Mallow said as the girl looked like she needed some joy
"That why you travel with Naruto?" Sabrina asked
"Ha Ha" Naruto said sarcastically
"Hey it's a good quality to have" Iris said as she pinched his cheek
Naruto pulled out his phone before taking a selfie
"What are you doing?" Misty asked
"Sending Gary a little F U pic" Naruto said as easy as breathing
"You're showing that you got a badge that he couldn't get" Kurama said laughing
"Two remember he couldn't get Surges badge either" Naruto said with a sadistic grin
"man that guys gonna get destroyed by the league" Sabrina said shaking her head
"Till next we meet my mind reading beaut-YY" Naruto said as Misty began pulling him by the ear away from Sabrina who was smiling brightly at this
(With Gary)
Gary was sitting on a beach with his cheerleaders before his pokenav got a alert
He looked and saw a picture of Naruto with the badges from Pewter, Cerulean, Vermillion and Saffron City "F. U. Gary" it said
"Grrr, Naruto!" he shouted angry that Naruto got two of the hardest badges to get
(outside Saffron city)
"gah let go of my ear already!" Naruto yelled as he finally got loose from Misty's grip
"I don't know who's worse you or that Brock guy" Misty said
"That… that actually stung" Naruto said holding a hand over his chest
"Oh relax you at least have a shot with women unlike him" Iris said with a smile
"Lets see last week I got a Krabby, rather small, then this week I got Gengar, man how many pokemon do I have?" Naruto asked himself
"Why not check with Oak there's a video phone over there" May said
"Yeah while you do that we can set up for a picnic lunch" Dawn said with a smile
Naruto nodded as him and kurama headed for the phone and entered Oak's number
After a few rings oak picked up "Ah Naruto how are you doing my boy? he asked
"Good check it out, the thunder and marsh badge" Naruto said
Samuel Oak coughed as he spat some of his tea on Krabby if the noise in the background was evidence "You got the Marsh badge on your first try? Nobody has gotten a badge from Sabrina in years!" he said
"Kurama evolved and I got a shiny Gengar" Naruto said as Kurama looked at him
"Sup pops" Kurama said having some respect for the old man
"Sweet Arceus he talks!" Oak said in surprise
"Yeah so does my Zorua the two argue constantly" Naruto said
"Congratulations but the other trainers and Gary have already passed Celadon City and have five badges" Oak said
"I could care less about the others, Gary has a car, and finally, he is probably not even hitting up the official gyms" Naruto said
"How'd you know that?" Prof. Oak said
Naruto and Kurama snickered actually being right
"So tell me what made Kurama evolve?" Oak asked wondering what led to the special Vulpix's evolution
"Rage he was getting pummeled by a Tyranitar, but still lost as it turned into a Mega Tyranitar" Naruto said
Oaks eyes widened but he snapped his fingers in realization "Marnie I assume?" he asked
"Yea you know her?" Naruto asked curiously as the man was very knowledgeable and knew a lot of people
"She's a very powerful trainer from the Galar region her brother is actually a gym leader there" Prof. Oak said
"That explains a few things" Naruto said
"yea I take care of her extra pokemon for her she very sweet to them" prof oak said with a smile
"Seems you take care of everybody's" Naruto said with a chuckle
"They have to go somewhere" Prof. Oak said with a chuckle
"wait sweet?! she wasn't sweet when she had her tyranitar beat the shit out of me!" Kurama yelled
"Dark type trainers are rather ruthless it's why it's been taking so long for there to be a dark type gym" Oak said
"That's a understatement" Naruto said remembering how vicious Marnie was during their battle
"As harsh as she is in battle she always makes sure not to beat a pokemon too hard, nothing a good time at the pokemon center or a full restore won't cure" Oak said
"I knew she was a sweetheart deep down" Naruto said smiling
"Ugh spare me" Kurama said rolling his eyes
"So any luck finding a key stone?" Oak asked "Oh I see you have pokemon eggs" he said
"Given to me by Cynthia, straight from her Lucario and her Garchomp" Naruto said with a smile as he'd treat these pokemon as precious since his friend entrusted them to him
"Great I also have good news I finally managed to get that key stone made, even with Professor Sycamore's help it was not easy" Prof. Oak said
"Bout time Naruto found that as a kid" Kurama said
"Yes and after Sycamore sent it he also sent two megastones, do you have a Lucarionite and/or Garchompite yet?" Oak asked curiously as it would be best to collect those now for when they finally went to their final evolution
"I do have a Lucarionite" Naruto said as he did have that on him
"Guess I'll send this one back to Sycamore then" Oak said looking at the Lucarionite in his hand
"Well we are heading for Celadon next so send it to the pokemon center there" Naruto said
"Wait, thank you Krabby, he sent three, I forgot where I put the third, it's a Gyaradosite oh and a forth a Gengarite" Oak said to him as he looked around his lab as Naruto's small Krabby was holding it in his claw
"Well at least I'll get two, when I get to Celadon I'll pick them up" Naruto said
"Good luck oh and keep catching more pokemon at this rate you have at least 31, one more than Gary" Prof. Oak said
"Don't tell him that, he'll go on a pokemon catching frenzy to try and outdo me" Naruto said with a chuckle
"Too late he's heading for the safari zone" Prof Oak said as that was an interesting place to go
"I already know the pokemon I want from there" Naruto said as the place had a list of well known spotted pokemon
"Well good luck, safe travels" Prof. Oak said as he hung up
"Eh that Gary can't stand having someone be better than him" Naruto said simply knowing the boy's ego all to well
"Neither can you" Kurama said as that was one of the few similarities between them
"You don't see me going on a pokemon catching craze just because someone has one more pokemon than me" Naruto said as he liked to catch pokemon but also wanted to bond with them and create a real relationship with them "also who are you to talk man?" he said as Kurama was still touchy after his loss
"Maybe I wouldn't be so touchy if you weren't willing to be so friendly with that bitch who kicked my ass" Kurama growled
"Oh stop being such a sore loser Kurama you will get stronger" Naruto said
Kurama nodded at this but Still scowled at the thought of Marnie and her tyranitar
"if you try and be nice to her maybe her vulpix will actually like you" Naruto said with a smile
Kurama rolled his eyes at this but smiled lightly at the idea of Marnie's vulpix liking him back
Suddenly Naruto's backpack shifted
"What's the deal with your bag?" Iris asked curiously wondering if one of his pokemon was rummaging through it
Naruto put the bag down and pulled out the eggs which were shaking a lot
"They are hatching!" Serena said with a bright smile as this would be a spectacular moment
Naruto pulled them out of their containers and laid them gently on the ground
Suddenly light began to escape the eggs as they cracked
In their place was a Riolu and a Gible
"Ro?/Gib?" The newborn pokemon said as they opened their eyes"
"Hey little guys" Naruto said kindly to the newborn pokemon
Gible jumped up biting down on Naruto's head while Riolu punched him in the gut
"Oh god this is the worse pain ever!" Naruto yelled as he rolled on the ground trying to get gible off him
Kurama was rolling around laughing "First thing they do when they hatch is attack you, now that's funny oh man I love these little guys" he said as he greatly enjoyed this day now
They then heard laughter coming from a tree nearby and when they looked they saw a mankey
"It's a mankey" Serena said in surprise
The Mankey jumped down and looked at their food, hopping around
"Hey you want some food?" May asked with a kind smile
Mankey snorted as it held out its hands
"Here we go have a rice ball" May said handing him a rice ball
The Mankey took it and hopped over to a rock where it sat and ate it
"I could use some fighting types to help train Riolu" Naruto said as fighting types basically learned fighting others of its type
"Key?" the monkey asked looking at the riolu
yea he's a newborn and when he is ready he will need a sparing partner Naruto said as he held gibile
"Mankey, Mankey Mank" The mankey said laughing
Naruto blanched "Yes a newborn that knocked the shit out of me" he said
"If anything that proves he has talent" Misty said as she pet riolu as he ate some berry's while thinking 'takes a lot to put Naruto down wonder if that means he has talent or his owner is getting weak' she thought with a chuckle toward the latter thought
"Will you come with me?" Naruto asked the pokemon curiously wanting to be polite as this pokemon was very temperamental on the best of days
Mankey's answer was a rice ball to the face
"Key! monkey!" it yelled
"He wants to see if your even a good trainer first so he has a challenge for you" Kurama said not blaming him since Naruto just took a hit from a newborn
Mankey jumped over and took Naruto's hat before climbing up a tree laughing
"Hey! my mom gave me that!" Naruto yelled
Mankey mocked Naruto by yelling like him while pretending to throw a ball
"Besides it being a gift from your mom what's so special about it?" Misty asked
"That's an official league expo hat, I sent in tons of stamps trying to get one!" Naruto said as he tried climbing up the tree
"This won't end well" Iris said as it was like
"No wonder I couldn't get one, I only sent in one stamp" Misty said
Naruto yelled as he fell out of the tree "A little help Kurama?" he said
"I'm enjoying this too much" Kurama said as Naruto was to entertaining at times
"You have other pokemon you know" Dawn said to him
"Hello there" Jessie said as her and team rocket arrived
"Oh great the geezer duo and their piss weak cat" Kurama said as he had a bland face
"Since when did you evolve?" James asked surprised seeing Kurama knowing it had to be the unique Vulpix
"When I got pissed at a Tyranitar and still lost" Kurama said
"Since when could you talk?" Meowth asked
"You know as well as I that we've always talked only now humans can understand me" Kurama said
The mankey ran over and started inspecting team rocket curiously
"Buzz off" Jessie said kicking it away making it hit its head on a rock
"Hey! that's uncalled for!" Naruto yelled as he ran to Mankey with a full restore
Mankey jumped up looking furious as it's eyes glowed white before glowing itself
"Oh dear" Mallow said knowing this wasn't gonna end well
Mankey then evolved into a Primeape
"Woah he must have been strong before if he's evolving now" Iris said as it did take a while for fighting types to get strong enough to evolve
"Here for your wounds" Naruto said spraying primeape with a full restore
Primeape looked at Naruto surprised that he healed him but nodded at him then turned to team rocket
"Uh I'm sorry?" James asked nervously not wanting to suffer a savage and painful beatdown
"Primeape!" the pokemon yelled as he attacked them
Riolu clapped his paws happily as he watched primeape beat up team rocket
"You are one battle happy baby" Naruto said with a smile
Kurama looked over to see Naruto's hat but when he tried reaching for it Primeape dropped down in front of him "Oh so you want us to beat you to get that hat back huh" He said
Primeape nodded as he adjusted the hat on his head
"well hold on you can't fight Kurama your weakness is fighting types" Naruto said as he took out a pokeball go charmeleon" Naruto said
"Charrrr" Charmeleon said ready to fight it then saw primeape was wearing Naruto's hat
"Meleon!" chameleon yelled at primeape clearly not happy that he had Naruto's hat
"Ape, ape Prime" Primeape said waving his hand telling the fire type to bring it on
"Charmeleon use fire punch"Naruto said
Charmeleon charged as it's fists ignited
Primeape charged as its fists shined with electricity
Fire clashed against electricity as the two slugged each other in the face yet not taking their eyes off each other
The two jumped back as they kept their fists raised while walking around the other, still not taking their eyes off the other
"This feels like a boxing match" Mallow said
Charmeleon threw a few shadow punches at Primeape who cracked his knuckles
The fire lizard then charged as his claws glowed silver as Primeape's fists ignited but Charmeleon rolled over Primeape and slashed it's back with metal claw
"Prime!" Primeape said as if cheering and angry at the same time
'Guess what they say is true all pokemon love their type' Iris thought as pokemon from whatever type liked to do activities revolving around it so it made sense that the primeape was both angry and excited for the current fighting
"Yeah that's it use your smaller size against him" Naruto said
"Hey we're still-" Jessie said before Primeape and Charmeleon punched them sending them flying
Charmeleon nimbly began jumping around before kneeing Primeape in the face
"Nice use of acrobatics" Naruto said
"And that's a flying type move so that should've dealt some damage" Iris said
"Grrr ape!" Primeape yelled as his fist glowed with Frost
"Watch it thats a ice punch" Naruto said as that stung a lot when hit with a freeze status
"Against a fire type?" Dawn said not getting why primeape would use that move
Primeape punched the ground covering it in frost making Charmeleon trip on the ice
"Use overheat to melt the ice then use fire fang" Naruto said hoping this would work
Charmeleon spun around blasting the ice creating smoke when it jumped through with it's mouth on fire biting down on Primeape's arm
Primeape groaned as it tried to swing Charmeleon off it's arm before it jumped up grabbing Charmeleon and began to spin the flame pokemon around in the air
"That's seismic toss" Naruto said as that move was very powerful move
Primeape then launched Charmeleon down to the ground with a mighty thud
The pig monkey pokemon then landed on a rock pounding its chest in victory
Charmeleon got up and glared at primeape
"hit him with fire blast" Naruto said determined to win
Charmeleon's flame burned brighter as a red aura came over it before roaring loudly
"It's Blaze" Misty said recognizing the special ability
Charmeleon took a deep breath before unleashing a massive stream of fire which then took the shape of the kanji word for fire before engulfing Primeape making a massive explosion
When the smoke died down and cleared they saw primeape still standing but covered In wounds
"Jeez that's one stubborn pokemon" Misty said not sure weather to be impressed or frightened
They noticed Primeape just stood there
Riolu walked over and poked it and the pig monkey pokemon just fell over
"He's knocked out but his eyes are still open" Naruto said looking him over
Riolu took Naruto's hat from Primeape and put it on his head and ran over to Naruto
"Thanks" Naruto said with a smile as he took his hat back
"Better catch him before he wakes up" Kurama said
Naruto nodded as he took out a ultra ball and threw it at primeape which struck him and caught him
Charmeleon then groaned as it fell onto his back exhausted
"Nice job Naruto said with a smile at his pokemon
Charmeleon began to make sounds talking to him
"What? As you were fighting Primeape talked about three Tyrogue in the area?" Naruto said
"Char char meleon!" his pokemon said
"They are training to evolve huh?" Kurama said finding this interesting
"I always wanted to catch the Hitmon trio they're perfect for teaching spinning, punching and kicking attacks" Naruto said
"Well if we are gonna go after them the mountains nearby make the most sense" Iris said
"Yea fighting types love to train in the mountains" Mallow said as she and the others packed up there camp
"And the more fighting types I get the more teachers Riolu gets" Naruto said
"Rio?" Riolu asked tilting his head curiously
"They'll be able to teach you more attacks" Naruto said to him as Riolu could learn a lot
"That Gible sure likes to chomp" Iris said as she was weary of this pokemon as it was known to have a very powerful bite and grip
"What makes you say that?" Naruto asked
"He's nibbling on your arm" Iris said
Naruto raised his arm to see Gible was chewing on it "Hey, I'm not food, I'm surprised you even have teeth yet" Naruto said
Gible let go and started crying as if in pain
"Didn't need to make him cry" Iris said with a frown as she pet Gible to comfort him
"Yea I think he's teething" Kurama said as he approached Gible
"Already? He just hatched" Mallow said
"Dragon types get their fangs quickly" Iris said matter of factly
"Anybody got a teething ring?" Naruto asked
"yea Cynthia gave me one just in case" Iris said digging through her bag until she finally found it
As soon as Iris held it out Gible jumped up and chomped it like a fish jumped for bait
"You really like biting things huh little guy" Iris said with a smile at the baby pokemon
(Few hours later)
"Geez these fighting types climb like a Gogoat" Naruto said as they were climbing up the mountain to look for the Tyrogue trio
"Maybe we should have Skarmory look around for them from above" Misty said
"I don't have Skarmory on me I have Pidgeotto and Spearow" Naruto said
"then use them"
Naruto opened up the pokeballs belonging to the two but what came out wasn't a Pidgeotto or Spearow but a Pidgeot and a Fearow
"Guess they keep training when they're at the ranch" Serena said
"Oh and Oak didn't tell me? I like being their when a pokemon I have evolves" Naruto said petting the two bird pokemons chins "Now we're looking for a trio of Tyrogue, they look like this" he said pulling the information about Tyrogue on his pokedex "Find them please" he said
Fearow made them laugh as it saluted Naruto before taking to the sky as Pidgeot followed rolling her eyes
"Well at least they are still listening to you" Mallow said sounding relieved
"Prof. Oak always talks about how Gary's fearow just pecks him instead of listening to him" Naruto said finding that hilarious
"Does he have a pidgeot?" Dawn asked curiously
"I don't think so" Naruto said as he never really asked what pokemon Gary had
"guy probably only goes for heavy hitters" May Said shaking her head as she knew the type of trainer guy was
"I don't see any Tyrogue but I see a Nidorino and a Nidorina" Kurama said pointing a all at a clearing
"Perfect those are on my list" Naruto said with a grin
"Only thing, they look beat up" Kurama said noticing their current state
"well let's go help them" mallow said
The purple and blue poison types could only look at them as they arrived groaning in pain
"you poor things" Serena said as she got out some medicine to help them
"I think the Tyrogue we're looking for did this" Naruto said as it wasn't a total stretch
"So they're jerks?" Dawn asked simply
Nidorino shook his head "rino!" it said upset
"So they just picked a fight as you were eating with your friend here?" Naruto asked
"Rina!" Nidorina said upset
"ah I get it they all evolved and wanted to pick a fight" Kurama said
"There's picking a fight and there's just bullying pokemon" Naruto said
"They must have fighters rage, when one wins so many times they think they can't be beat and just go picking fights left and right" Iris said
"Sounds like Kurama" Misty said
"Hey, watch it orange head" Kurama said
"Poor things" Naruto said as he pet them "Prof. Oak can heal them better than this full restore can" he said pulling out two friend balls
The two pokemon nodded at Naruto confirming they were OK with him catching them
Naruto tapped them with the pokeballs and they were instantly caught and sent to Oaks ranch
"Let's find these bullies" Naruto said with a determined look
"If they are evolved I hope you have a plan" may said as evolved fighting types were hard to beat let alone three of them
"And considering how beat up those two were I'm thinking they got ganged up on" Iris said
"So not only do they fight they fight dirty huh?" Kurama said somewhat respecting that as it wasn't illegal
"Team Rocket would probably love these guys" Iris said with a scowl at the thought them
Suddenly they heard Fearow call out with Pidgeot as the two flew circles over a spot
"Sounds like they found 'em" Naruto said taking that as a sign
(Few minutes later)
they made it to another clearing which looked like it was a makeshift training ground
"there they are" Kurama said seeing a hitmonchan hitmonlee and a hitmontop sparing together and attacking boulders
Hitmonlee looked up and pointed at Fearow and Pidgeot who were still in the sky
"Those are my friends" Naruto said getting there attention
Hitmonlee kicked a piece of rock off the boulder and kicked it at them making them all duck
"Ok these guys need a beatdown" may said letting out her Blaziken
Hitmonchan and Hitmontop charged only for Pidgeot and Fearow to blow them into Hitmonlee
"Air slash and drill peck!" Naruto yelled at his bird pokemon
Pidgeot launched saw disks made from air at the trio as Fearow spun like a drill going right through them knocking them over
"Blaze kick!" May yelled out wanting to take this pokemon down
Blaziken attacked hitmonlee with her feet ignited in flames but Hitmonlee backfired away and when he landed he shot forward and spin kicked and struck her with it's own blaze kick
"OK I have had enough" Naruto said "Gengar!" he said
gengar looked around and looked at Kurama curiously
"we have some bullies here that need to be taken down a peg" Naruto said looking at the three fighting pokemon
gengar scowled at this and flew at hitmonlee and tackled him and started slugging him with rapid shadow punches
Fearow and Pidgeot began flapping their wings before creating a tornado which sucked up Hitmonchan and Hitmontop
The duo of fighting types shouted as they fell onto Hitmonlee and Gengar
Gengar got up and dusted himself off
The trio of fighting types groaned as they laid in a pile
"Not so tough now are ya?" May said with a chuckle
"You may be strong but that's no excuse to be bullies" Naruto said to them condescendingly
"Chan!" hitmonchan yelled in a rage at this
"You guys were bullied as tyrogues?" Kurama asked as that was kinda sad
"Hitmontop, top" Hitmontop said to him
"By a group of Mankey?" Naruto said curiously wondering if the one he had that was now a primeape had any involvement in it
"that's no excuse you beat up those poor nidorino and nidorina" Misty said with a scowl
"Lee, lee Hitmonlee" Hitmonlee said
"It's all you've known?" Kurama asked finding that truly sad
"Well you may be fighting types but there's more to life than fighting" Dawn said
"Lee?/Chan?/Top?" The trio said
"Yea I could teach you if you want" Naruto said with a smile
The trio then bowed before him
"Looks like you have new students sensei" Iris said with a smile
"I may be training you three but I'm your friend first and foremost" Naruto said taking out three friend balls
the trio nodded at this as Naruto tapped them with his friend balls catching them
"I wonder if old man oak is starting to get worried with all the pokemon I have been catching" Naruto said as the three pokballs vanished to Oaks ranch
"Can't be any worse than dealing with Gary's" Serena said
(With oak)
Oak was in his lab catching his breath as he just calmed down Naruto's new primeape and healed his new nidorino and nidorina
Suddenly his computer dinged "new pokemon from Naruto Ketchum" the computer said
Oak sighed as he approved his computer to take a look "hitmonchan hitmonlee and hitmontop?" he asked in surprise
"Chan/Lee/Top" The trio said waving a hand at him
"Well at least Naruto keeps things interesting" Oak said with a sigh "would you all like to meet Naruto's other pokemon?" he asked kindly
The trio nodded
Suddenly Oaks phone rang with the calling ID saying Gary
Oak sighed as he looked at Naruto's pokemon "hold on I need to take this call" he said as he answered the call
The gang of new pokemon looked as Gary's face appeared on a screen "Hey gra- is that the Hitmon trio?" he asked surprised
The trio then waved their hands at him
"Yes it is Gary Naruto just sent them to me they are his latest catches along with this primeape and this duo of Nido's" Oak said
"Well all I managed to get from the Safari Zone was one measly Tauros thing just keeps kicking me or running me over" Gary said
"Well tauros have a pack mentality so if they don't respect you they tend to rebel" Oak said as the bull like pokemon was a temperamental one
"Well we can't all be lucky to catch rare pokemon" Gary said looking at the Hitmon trio in obvious jealousy
"Is there anything you wanted to tell me besides your latest catch?" Prof. Oak asked
"I'm leaving the Safari zone to look for my sixth gym" Gary said
"Well there's koga's gym" Oak said offering up a suggestion
"Who?" Gary asked curiously
"Koga, he's a bit of a ninja and focuses on poison types so be sure to p-" Oak was saying
"Ha! I have plenty of steel types to take this guy out" Gary said confidently
'If they'll listen to any orders you give them' Prof. Oak thought as Gary's pokemon were temperamental at best
"see ya gramps and good luck to that trio to bad their trainer is a loser" Gary said laughing
"chan?!" hitmonchan yelled as he slugged the video phone destroying it
"I needed that" Prof. Oak said flatly seeing this
The trio of pokemon growled still upset with Gary insulting Naruto
'Well at least they are loyal to Naruto' Oak thought glad Naruto was able to win the loyalty of his pokemon as Naruto always gave out as much care and respect for his pokemon the only one he hadn't tamed was his red Gyarados
(With Naruto a day later)
Naruto and his group finally arrived in celadon city
"wow I'm surprised we made it here so quickly" Misty said
"Helps when the path you're using is down hill" Iris said
"And you roll half the way down" Kurama said chuckling
"I lost my balance once" Naruto said as the girls and kurama laughed
"So who's the gym leader here?" Serena asked curiously
"it's Erika and she uses grass types" Mallow said excitedly
"Bounsweet!" Her pokemon said copying her excitement
"Sounds like a cakewalk for Charmeleon" Iris said
"Yeah but don't forget Grass types can beat fire types with the right strategy but if I have to use Squirtle at least he knows moves that can beat grass types" Naruto said
"Don't forget to get your rock from the pokemon center" Kurama said reminding him of that
"Oh yeah" Naruto said with a excited smile
"what rock?" Misty asked curiously
"my mega ring Is finally ready and oak sent it to the pokemon center in this city" Naruto said
"You had a keystone this whole time?" Iris asked
"See it was a bit of a big chunk and so it's took a long time for Professors Sycamore and Oak to get it ready" Naruto said
"got any mega stones?" Mallow asked curiously
"Well I got the stones I got off Brock's dad and the two Sycamore sent and the Gengarite Gengar gave me" Naruto said
"well you should adjust your team so that they are holding there mega stones so they are ready at any time" Serena said
"yea like Charmeleon so she's ready when she evolves" May said
"Or my Aron when he finally evolves into a Aggron" Iris said
"for all you know he's already evolved thanks to them training at the ranch" Dawn said
"I should check on him" Iris said
"Aggron, now that's a heavy hitter I'd like to have" Naruto said with a smile
"can we move on from this mega evolve crap?" Kurama growled
"What's his problem?" Misty asked
"he's mad he doesn't have a mega form" Naruto said with a smile as he remembered when they were young and kurama getting all mad when they didn't find vulpix on the list of pokemon that can mega evolve
"Let's just go" Kurama said
(Few minutes later)
Naruto and his group were just entering the pokemon center
"Um excuse me, I'm supposed to be expecting a package to be delivered here" Naruto said to the Nurse Joy
"Wah!" Iris said as she opened her pokeball to find an Aggron that was now sitting on top of her much to the amusement of Kurama "It ain't funny get this pokemon off me!" she yelled
"Yes, I do" Nurse Joy said trying not to laugh at Iris and her pokemon
"Great!" Naruto said as he opened the package and put on the mega ring which was orange colored
"now let's get your pokemon equipped with there mega stones" Serena said wanting Naruto prepared
(a hour later)
Naruto had some of his pokemon out he had Charmeleon, Bulbasaur, Pidgeot, Gyarados, beedrill, Riolu, Gible and Gengar "Now that I have a mega ring I can give you these mega stones" he said as he passed out the stones
They all took them and wore them glad they now had this edge in battle
Squirtle was to the side pouting that he didn't get a stone
"it's OK buddy I'll find your mega stone Naruto said as he pet squirtle
"Rotten luck Gary got Flint's last Blastoisinite and Mega ring" Iris said
"if you're looking for mega stones they are selling them at the celadon shopping center" Nurse Joy said
Squirtle booked it out of the pokemon center hearing that
"Wow he's fast for a turtle" Kurama said
(few minutes later)
Naruto arrived at the shopping center and found Squirtle running around the place
"Come and get your mega stones, looking for a boost for your pokemon, you're looking at the right place" A man said
"Squirtle!" squirtle yelled out getting the man's attention
"Well aren't you a little spitfire" the man said with a smile at the turtle pokemon
"Yea that's my squirtle Naruto said with a smile as he approached with his friends
"You look strong, looking for a Pinsirite? Aerodactylite? Scizorite? Kangaskhanite? You name it I got it" The man said
"Got any mega rings?" Iris asked curiously
"it's your lucky day young lady if your boyfriend here buys three stones I'll throw in a mega ring for free" the man said with a smile
"Well I'll take the mega stones you just said along with a Blastoisinite" Naruto said
"That's five mega stones kid, throw in another and you'll get two mega rings" The man said
"Ooh do you have a Salamencite?" Iris asked
"Right here darling" The man said with a smile
"What about Gyaradosite?" Misty asked wondering if he had that particular stone as she had a magikarp and wanted to have it ready when her pokemon evolved and she needed to use it
"You name it I got it" The man said
"how about one of those rings from galer? Kurama asked sarcastically
"OK never seen a talking pokemon before but to answer your question yes I do actually have a dynamax band but that doesn't come cheap" the man said
"Kid if you don't buy that now I swear I'll lose it" Kurama said with a mad grin
"Okay we'll take it and the stones we said" Naruto said
"That'll be 25 hundred for the band" The man said
"ouch" Naruto said as he gave the man the money glad he had plenty of money
"And 300 for the stones" The man said
"at least that's reasonable" Naruto said as he paid
Squirtle was practically giddy as he held his mega stone
"Scyther is gonna love this" Naruto said holding the Scizorite
"Why ask for Khangaskhanite, Pinsirite and Aerodactylite?" Misty asked pocketing her Gyaradosite
"We'll be running into the Safari Zone eventually, perfect place to catch lots of pokemon" Naruto said
"there is no way you will run into a Aerodactyl those are extinct for crying out loud" Iris said
"People said the same about Relicanths but you can find them" Naruto said confidently
"well let's go get this gym badge I wanna go all kaiju on some grass types" Kurama yelled and laughed maniacally
"Don't you need a special stone or something to use that band?" Iris asked
"They're already in it, but I don't know how it works. Find someone that has one and ask" The man said
"That'll be easy" Naruto said sarcastically
"Oh and on certain pokemon they gigantamax, where they change form, like the kanto trio, Gengar and others" The man said
Squirtle was more giddy knowing he had another power he could use when he evolved into a Blastoise
Squirtle was so preoccupied with what he could do as a Blastoise he didn't even notice he was beginning to glow
"looks like it's your lucky day" Naruto said with a smile as Squirtle grew and changed
"wartortle!" the newly evolved pokemon yelled out in joy
"Now Bulbasaur just needs to evolve" Misty said
"When he wants to" Naruto said leaving no room for discussion
"So who's your team for this badge?" Serena asked
"hmmmm I'm thinking Charmeleon Kurama and-" Naruto was saying until one of his pokemon came out
"bulba!" Bulbasaur yelled out
oh? you wanna fight huh? Naruto asked with a smile at Bulbasaur
"saur!" Bulbasaur said with a confident grin
As they talked they had no idea a small pink imp like pokemon was staring at them
(celadon gym)
Naruto and his group finally arrived at the gym and were at the receptionist desk
"Hello welcome to the celadon gym" the female receptionist said with smile at Naruto
"Hello I'm here to challenge" the gym leader Naruto said with a smile
"Well Erika is free right now you're not gonna go nuts with a fire type like that Gary are you?" the receptionist asked
"No, and seriously why is he hitting up all the officials? He's too cocky not to take a easy way" Naruto said
"Well he beat Erica with a overleveled arcanine and then insulted her for wasting time helping kids and making perfume" the receptionist said with a scowl
"He must be stockpiling rare candies" Naruto said "Wait, make perfume? This is a shop?" he asked curiously
"yes that's her side business she makes regular perfumes and fragrances to help pokemon" The receptionist said
"ah aromatherapy right?" Naruto asked
"exactly I'm surprised you know that" a voice said as a woman wearing a kimono came into the area
"well I did a lot of reading as a kid and it's a pokemon move, Erika right?" Naruto asked the woman
Kurama looked over and spotted a pink pokemon looking at him from a corner before it ran away
"That's me and I'm assuming you're a new challenger? Erika asked
"Yeah "Naruto said with a nod
"Naruto I think I'm hallucinating, I just saw a gremlin" Kurama said
"Are you sure you aren't getting high off the fumes in here?" Naruto asked chuckling
"Oh please these fumes ain't nothing" Kurama said
"well follow me to the fighting grounds so we can battle" Erika said leading the way and soon they arrived at a arena that looked like it was a garden
Naruto and Erika both took there places at the ends of the arena and the others went to the seats nearby
"We will battle with 3 pokemon only one mega evolution will be allowed Erika said noticing the mega ring Naruto had
Kurama looked up to see the imp again and rubbed his eyes only for it to be gone "I must be coming down with something" he said
Naruto picked up a pokeball and threw it
"Charmeleon!" his pokemon called out ready to battle the urge to do battle with a strong opponent raging inside him
"Let's go Vileplume" Erika said
"Vi!" the flower pokemon called out ready to go
"Let's kick this off with fire punch" Naruto said as Charmeleon charged
"Don't think it will be that easy acid" Erika said thinking strategically
Chameleon stopped as Vileplume shot a green sludge that dissolved the ground in front of it
"Talk about strong acid" Naruto said as Charmeleon looked down the hole
"Petal dance" Erika said hoping this move would knock Charmeleon out since most fire types liked to fight from afar because there defence wasn't as good
Vileplume began spinning around sending out leaves
"Stop those pedals with fire spin" Naruto said as the petals soon began to burn and light of the air making a beautiful scene as the petals burned out of existence
Vileplume shouted as it got caught in the fire tornado
"quick fire fang before it recovers" Naruto said
Charmeleon jumped into the attack at Vileplume with its teeth ignited and bit down on it making a explosion
Vileplume got launched out and fell to the ground with swirls in its eyes
"Very impressive you have obviously trained hard" Erika said as she returned Vileplume to its pokeball
Charmeleon flexed showing off a bit
"Easy there Pyra" Naruto said patting her on the head making the fire lizard pokemon chuckle rubbing the back of her head
Erika smiled at this and brought out another pokeball revealing a Tangela
"Tang" The pokemon said as it appeared
Naruto pulled out a pokeball and let out Bulbasaur
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur yelled ready to go
"Surprised you didn't stick with Charmeleon for this fight" Erika said as it would've been smart as she was a little ashamed to admit but that pokemon probably could've taken out 2 more of her own
"Well I promised Bulbasaur that he could test himself against one of your pokemon" Naruto said as he thought bulbasaur needed some action
"Bulb" Bulbasaur said as he dragged a foot on the ground challengingly like a Tauros would do
"Tangela use poison powder" Erika said
Bulbasaur took a deep breath and blew it away
"Since when does Bulbasaur know whirlwind?" Misty asked from the arena seats with the others
"I think that was just lung power" Dawn said correcting her friend's analysis
"Good job Bulbasaur use razor leaf" Naruto said
"Knock 'em away with vine up" Erika said
Vines stretched out from Tangela and smacked the sharp leaves away but one bonked it on the head making it's eyes roll
"Take down!" Naruto yelled
Bulbasaur charged and slammed into Tangela sending it flying
"Oh my that's one strong Bulbasaur" Erika said surprised
"Yup my Bulbasaur is in a league of his own" Naruto said smiling at his pokemon
"Tangala use body slam" Erika said quickly
Tangala jumped into the air and started falling at Bulbasaur
"Grab it with Vine Whip and then use slam" Naruto said
Bulbasaur instead held his bulb to the sun and began gathering energy and when Tangela came down he jumped to the side dodging and then unleashed a beam from his bulb
when the dust cleared they saw Tangala was knocked out
"good job buddy" Naruto said smiling at Bulbasaur
"Saur!" his pokemon said with a grin at the fact he proved he was strong agent a gym leaders grass type
Suddenly Bulbasaur started to glow
"Looks like Bulbasaur is finally satisfied with how strong he is and feels ready to go to the next step" Naruto said with a smile
When the light died down they saw a newly evolved Ivysaur
"Ivysaur!" the Seed pokemon called out as he ran to Naruto
"Guess you finally wanted to evolve after learning solar beam huh?" Naruto said as he pet his pokemon proud that he evolved on his terms
"Saur." Ivysaur said smiling
"Okay my ace pokemon, let's go Gloom" Erika said releasing her final pokemon
"Gloom."the pokemon called out
Everyone groaned as they held their noses as Gloom was sending out a smell
"Let me guess Gloom is your key for making your perfumes huh" Naruto said holding his nose as this particular pokemon had many strong and pungent smells coming of it all good and bad it made him a little nauseous from how strong the scent or in this case scents were
"Gah I can't feel my nose!" Kurama yelled as he buried his face in the dirt trying not to smell "oh god there's manure in this fucking soil FUCK!" he said holding his nose in agony
"This mean you chickening out of this fight?" Naruto asked
"You can't smell either and my sense of smell is three times yours!" Kurama said as he complained
"Fine let's do this Pidgeot!" Naruto said throwing his pokeball
"Pidgeoooo!"the bird pokemon called out
"A second stage evolution we will have to take you seriously Erika said with a determined look
"Use aerial ace" Naruto said
As Pidgeot went down it caught a whiff of Gloom and groaned
"I know it stinks girl bit you have come too far to quit" Naruto said as he held up his mega ring how's about we give this a test drive? he asked
Pidgeot looked at Naruto and nodded not ready to quit
"Pidgeot! Mega Evolve!" Naruto shouted holding up his wrist as four streams of light shot from his keystone connecting to Pidgeot's mega stone causing a surge of energy to stream through her as her body became engulfed by light she let loose a loud screech as she extended her wings as the light shattered revealing her mega evolved form
"Gloom fill the room with your scent! Erika said
"Blow it all away with Hurricane" Naruto said
"Pidgiooooo!" mega pidgeot called out as she flapped her wings and made a strong storm which blew away the scent and blew Gloom into the air
"Now follow up with Aerial ace!" Naruto yelled
Gloom got struck again and again as Mega Pidgeot struck it as she flew around it
Gloom landed on the ground on its head with swirls in its eyes
Erika sighed as she returned her pokemon "congratulations on your win" she said as she approached Naruto
Naruto smiled at this as he pet pidgeot
When Erika handed out the Rainbow badge a pink blur dropped down swiping it and it ran out of the room
"Hey!" Naruto yelled as he chased after her
"It's the gremlin!" Kurama said as he glared at it
Everyone ran after it only to see a pink foot go inside a vent
"What is that thing?" Naruto asked as he looked for it
"We've had reports of some pokemon taking shiny objects all in the city" Erika said as she looked around in pursuit of the creature
"Where does that vent go?" Mallow asked
"Outside" Erika said
"I'll find that little freak!" Kurama yelled as he started sniffing around before running outside
(Few minutes later)
The gang had followed Kurama into a old building
"Man I didn't think buildings could be this old" Misty said as this building looks like it had decades on it
"Holy shit" Naruto said as he opened up a room and found the pink gremlin sitting on a bed looking at the rainbow badge with a Aron
"Geez how much junk is in here?" Misty said seeing tons of shiny objects, license plates, rims etc
"That's not a Gremlin, it's a Impidimp they like taking things and are really mischievous" Naruto said excitedly
"What's a Galaran pokemon doing in my city?" Serena asked hoping no one smuggled this little one
"Probably abandoned, I guess you've been taking things to keep your mind off that your trainer left you two huh" Naruto said
"Imp" The gremlin pokemon just held the rainbow wing closer and turned around not to face them with the Aron
"You can't just steal things that don't belong to you because you're sad" Naruto said
"imp" impidimp said
"tell you what I need another fairy type for my team, how about you join me?" Naruto asked with a kind smile
Impidimp didn't want to give up the rainbow badge as he loved shiny things
"Aron?" The steel type said looking at him
"Have you been collecting shiny things because you've been keeping this pokemon entertained?" Naruto asked curiously as the Aron looked a little young like newly hatched young
"Dimp" The pokemon said
"Look I'm sorry your trainer left you two here, but I promise you I'll keep you two safe, and when I make a promise I keep my word" Naruto said as he petted their heads affectionately
The two suddenly began crying tears of joy as they then hugged Naruto
'He'd make a great parent' all the women thought seeing him like that and blushed thinking about being the other parent
"I'm surprised you aren't freaking out because he's a fairy type" Kurama said to Iris
"Hey I'm not a monster" Iris said as she pouted
"Tell that to Clefable" Naruto said with a chuckle
Naruto picked up the Aron and looked him in the eyes "I can see it, you're gonna be a real juggernaut one day" he said with a smile
Aron smiled and wiggled hearing that name thinking it'd be amazing to be unstoppable
"Oh you like that? Juggernaut it is" Naruto said with a smile as he took out some pokeballs
"You just attract all Pokemon to you, don't you?" Mallow asked with a smile as Naruto caught the two pokemon thinking it was a privilege to see someone have such an open heart attracting all sorts of pokemon
"Yup It's one of my best talents" Naruto said as he picked up the rainbow badge and put it away
"I guess that Impidimp didn't know how to keep that little Aron entertained so he just grabbed any shiny thing he thought was nice and brought it back so the little guy could play with them" May said
"So what gym are we gonna head for next?" May asked
"I'm thinking fuschia gym" Naruto said as he had been thinking which gym to head to after this town
"The poison gym?" Serena asked sounding worried
"Yea he's one of the strongest gym leaders and i want to test myself" Naruto said wanting a challenge
"good if we are gonna be strong enough to win the league we need to fight the best" Kurama said
"Ain't the guy who runs it a ninja?" May asked
"I hate ninjas" Kurama growled
"why? you never even met one" Naruto said as they all left the building
"I don't know and I don't care ninjas suck!" Kurama yelled
"Whatever let's just go" Naruto said as they all left the area
