The group soon found themselves in Pallet Town and enjoy the quietness it had. Naruto smiled, remembering the home he grows up in and happy for most of his girls in his harem will get to meet his mom for once. Most teens will get nerves when they show their parents their love interest or crush, but this blonde was different than most and that was a good thing.

"Such a shame that the others couldn't come and see Pallet Town. They would have loved to see your home town, Naru-kun," Dawn said, having Piplup agreeing with her.

"It is, Dawn-chan, but I have good news. Rosa-chan and Kris-chan with Iris had told me that they'll meet us in three days from today at Viridian City," Naruto said, remembering the phone call he had a short while back on Skyla's plane.

"Really? That's great! This gives us some time to relax before heading out," Zoey said.

"That's the plan, Zoey-chan," Naruto said as himself and his girls finally have entered the small town.

They walked towards a good size house that had a sign that said 'Ketchum House' and a welcome mat sign at the front door. Naruto was a little worried about seeing his mother again after a good while and no one blames but he soon calms himself and took a deep breath. He used his right hand to knock the door three times like music and waits for an answer.

At first, nothing happens, but the group soon heard little footsteps coming towards the door and the trainers could tell that it was more than one.

"Do you have anyone else over?" Serena asked, remembering it was just Naruto's mom, little brother, and himself lives at home.

"I shouldn't but I think I know who is here," Naruto replied as he opens the door which was a mistake on his part and was tackled into the ground by eight little figures.

At first, the girls thought Naruto was in danger and rush towards where he was on the ground but soon found out who tackled their boyfriend and were in awe of the cuteness that was showing. They saw a Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon rubbing themselves onto the blonde either by licking or patting him.

Naruto chuckled a little at this affection and kind of saw this coming. He knows the eight very well and they love very much. The blonde had one Eevee to start off with and during his journey here in Kanto they came across some Pokemon Poachers taking some Pokemon away. They captured some Eevees and being the kind-hearted trainer, he was, the blonde saved them. They bonded with him and love their trainer very much.

The blonde Pokemon master had given his Eevees to his mother to look after them and feel some homey. They had smelled their trainer coming home and gave him a good welcome.

"Alright girls, I miss you too," Naruto said as he gets up and pats the eight Pokemon by him, getting some good purrs.

"You sure know how to raise some good Pokemon, Naru-kun," May commented as she pats Leafeon and Glaceon on their heads.

"Indeed. They must have smelled you coming home," Serena agreed, patting the Sylveon's head.

Leaf, Dawn, Hilda, and Zoey pat the rest of the Eevee sisters, getting grateful purrs.

"Yeah, I sure do," Naruto said and pat his Jolteon on her head which caused the two to smile.

Naruto and his girlfriends kept patting the Eevee sisters until a voice called out, getting them to stop.

"Girls! Now, where did you little ones run off too now?" A voice called out, causing the group and sisters attention to who was at the front door.

It was a mature young woman with brown eyes and hair. She wears a pink short-sleeve jacket with a yellow undershirt, a purple skirt, and light green shoes. This was Delia Ketchum, Naruto's mom and soon smiled happily when seeing one of her boys back home.

Delia was finishing up with her housework and gardens but was stopped when the Eevee sisters left and rushed towards the main door. She follows them and was soon shocked to see her oldest son back from his journey with guests.

"Hey mom," Naruto greeted with a warm smile and was soon rewarded with a close bone-crushing hug by his mother.

"Oh, Naruto! You are back!" Delia happily said, but soon stopped when not hearing respond and saw her son was turning blue which caused her to stop.

Naruto breathes in some air and dusted himself off as he got up on his feet.

"It's great to see again mom," Naruto said.

"It's great to see you too, Naruto. And who are your friends?" Delia asked, seeing some friends that her oldest son has.

"Well, mom they are my friends from the regions I travel with. You already know Leaf-chan and Serena-chan, but we have May-chan, Dawn-chan, Zoey-chan, and Hilda-chan. Girls this my mom I have been telling you all about during our travels," Naruto introduced.

"Hello again Mrs. Ketchum," Leaf and Serena greeted due to the two know Naruto's mother.

"Hello Mrs. Ketchum," The other girls greeted.

"It's nice to see again, Leaf, Serena and great to finally meet my son's other friends. Please come in, I have some drinks ready," Delia said, allowing the group and herself to walk in.

The Ketchum House was a good size home for a small family to live. Nothing too big or small, but in the middle. It reminds Dawn, Serena, and Hilda of their small home back in their region. May likes the place and feels she was at with her family back in Hoenn. Zoey loves the place and knows the other girlfriends will enjoy their stay. But a problem will be living space due to how many are here now and will show later. Anything can happen but moving on.

Naruto and his girls were given some drinks from Delia as they sat on the sofa in the living room while watching the Eevee sisters playing around with Piplup.

"So, mom how are things?" Naruto asked, taking a sip of his tea.

"Alright for the most part. Gets lonely without you or Ash, but the Pokemon you send over to me helps and the sisters know how to make a good day," Delia replied and giggled as the eight sisters played with Piplup.

"They sure do mom. They sure do," Naruto agreed, knowing fully well of the Eevees he took care of.

Most of the afternoon was quiet and peaceful with good talks and enjoying the relaxing moment. The girls could tell that Naruto was happy to be at home again and enjoy talking to his mother. This reminds them of their home and families back in their region which caused memories of their journey they have with their shared boyfriend to pop up. Their journey was great, and nothing could top it off.

Just outside the house has a certain young trainer and his friends coming and will have a great surprise in store for him. Ash and his friends, Brock and Misty were traveling towards the next city but want to rest and the young trainer was happy to be home after a long journey.

Ash knocked on the door and waited for a reply. This caused Delia to get up from the sofa and answer the door. Naruto and the girls wonder who was at the door. It could be anyone like the professor, friends, or someone else. Only one way to find out.

"Your mom is very nice, Naruto-kun," May said, drinking her lemonade.

"Thanks, May-chan," Naruto said with a smile on his face and remembered some memories of the good part of his childhood.

Part of Naruto's childhood was not so great due to the pain he had in his old world and what they caused him. He shook his head, pushing any of those thoughts aside and moved as he has a better life now. The girls noticed this sudden emotion shake to do the blonde's face change from happy to sad and shaking past some trouble's thoughts.

They have been told like the other girls of their shared boyfriend's troubled past and how he came to live in such a good life now. Only a handful knows of Naruto's story and will be a story for another time as a certain trainer has just walked in to see his older brother home with guests.

"Naruto-nii!" Ash said, being in shock of seeing his older brother and got his attention.

Naruto smiled at his little brother and said, "Hey Ash. Its been awhile and welcome home."

The blonde got up from the sofa to greet his little brother, being awhile for the two. They have shared a few stories, introduced the other brother their friends/girlfriends, and how far they are to this point. The two brothers had shared a good number of stories of their travel and what's their next plan for their journey.

"That's great to hear you have seven badges and made some interesting friends along the way. Not bad little bro, very good in fact," Naruto commented, being happy of his little brother doing good so far.

"Thanks, big bro," Ash said before looking over to where Misty and Brock are at, being at a trophy case that was Naruto and all his region champion battles.

Naruto's girlfriends were helping Delia with making some Pokemon food for the Eevee sisters and the other Pokemon that live here in the Ketchum house. The sisters with Piplup and Pikachu were playing to pass the time.

"Hey Ash, how come to you never told us that you had an older brother?" Brock asked.

Ash sleepily smiled as he rubbed the back of his head and said, "I guess I forget. I must have got up in my journey that I forget to mention was it like back here in Patten Town. Sorry about that."

Brock could understand as he did forget to mention his friends of his family. Doing a Pokemon journey must have past time faster then anyone thinks.

Misty shrugged her shoulders, understand it as she forgets to mention she had three older sisters during her journey with Ash until and during their battle. She hummed as she and Brock looked at the trophies to the photos that Naruto has.

From the looks of it, the blonde-haired Ketchum had been around to different regions from Kanto to others. Some were battles, the contest with girls at the blonde's side, and peaceful areas with different Pokemon. It makes some wonder how long has Naruto been doing this?

"So, mom how's lunch coming along?" Naruto asked, seeing his mother was done with the Pokemon food and now starting cooking some beef soup.

Delia hummed for a second, checking on the food and said, "About thirty minutes or so. I just started putting in the meat into the soup and needs some time to cook."

Ash groaned on how long he will have to wait to eat, but he suddenly had an idea to pass the time and wanted to do something if he meets his brother again.

"Hey Naruto-nii about a small battle?" Ask offered, getting everyone's attention.

Naruto raised an eyebrow and kind of saw this coming as Ash really wants to be a Pokemon Master that travels to different regions. It sounds familiar and is just what the blonde had done to still doing.

The blonde's girls, Misty, Brock, and Delia wonder if this was a good idea to have a battle before lunch. It could pass the time and will be fun to watch.

"It seems like a good idea and could help pass the time," May said, agreeing with battle and wanted to see it.

"True and might interesting to see what Naruto could teach Ash," Serena said, knowing her boyfriend can help others during a small friendly battle.

"I guess that's it. And who knows may the battle could give us ideas for our contest," Zoey said, knowing a few battles she has watched the blonde done inspire her some ideas for the contest.

Dawn nodded her in agreement and understand it very well as she won some contest when learning from Naruto. It might be fun and new ideas could come up. Leaf and Hilda could use the battle for ideas as well for their Pokemon battles.

After seeing everyone was on broad and had Mr Mime cooking the soup, Delia then said, "Alright then, let's have the small battle outside and at our backyard battlefield."

"You have a backyard battlefield?" Brock and Misty questioned.

"Naruto built it himself for training to get himself and his Pokemon in top shape for their champion battles. It comes in handy," Delia replied as everyone and herself walk outside and towards the backyard to see Pokemon battlefield.

A good battle filed and now the two Ketchum can have their small battle as the two took their sides of the field.

Naruto Ketchum vs Ash Ketchum

Their Pokemon are:

N: Lucario (Knuckles). Ninetales (Vixen). Charizard (Amaterasu)

A: Pikachu. Pidgeot. Charizard.

Battle Begins!

Play Pokemon The First Movie Theme Song by Billy Crawford

"Well then here goes nothing. Here we come Ash…lets go Knuckles!" Naruto called out throwing a Pokeball out, being the first Pokemon and soon appeared before the younger Ketchum.

Knuckles was a Lucario, the Steel-Fighting-type Pokemon that Naruto took care off from the start of his journey in the Kanto region. Knuckles was one of Naruto's first Pokemon he started off and fought many battles like the team they are. The two had bonded very well, having a strong aura connection.

Ash, his partner Pikachu, and most of the crowd were shock from seeing a new Pokemon here in Kanto. The yellow mouse poked his partner's face, getting the younger Ketchum out of his shocked state and pulled his Dexter for some information.

"No information able," The Dexter said, getting Ash shock and caused Naruto to chuckle a little.

"Don't bother, Ash. The reason why your Dexter has no information on Knuckles is that he is a Lucario and they are from different regions, living in three so far and seen in from others. Now, what's your answer?" Naruto informed/questioned, wondering if his younger brother will take the challenge up and he knows he will.

Ash just smiled before looking at Pikachu who smile and nodded his head.

"Let's do this Pikachu!" Ash called, having his partner jump off his shoulders and onto the battlefield before their opponents.

"Pika!" The little yellow mouse agreed with a grin as he looked dead in the eye of the Steel-Fighting Type.

Knuckles shared a small look with a small grin forming up and started to talk to his partner through aura, "This should be interesting."

To others, Knuckles said his Pokemon tone, but too Naruto, he can understand Pokemon due to being an Aura Guardian.

"It will, Knuckles. Let's get the battle start," Naruto agreed with his smirk not leaving his face and look forward of the small battle ahead of him.

"Knuckles used Blaze Kick!" Naruto commanded, having Knuckle's right leg be covered in flames to soon jump upwards in the sky and have his right leg kick outwards towards the little mouse.

"Dodge Pikachu," Ash ordered, having Pikachu quickly moved towards the right and dodged the flame kick.

"Now use ThunderBolt," The younger trainer added, having Pikachu launching a powerful volt of thunder towards the dog.

"Dodge by rushing at Pikachu for Close Combat," Naruto said, having Knuckles countered the bolt of thunder by rushing forward and started throwing punches to kicks at the little mouse.

Pikachu grunted in pain from the beating it was given from the Fighting-type and was soon kicked away. The little mouse rolled into the ground, but soon got up on his feet and took some breaths for air.

"You are okay Pikachu?" Ash asked in concern, not wanting to have his friend hunt and wondering if he can keep going.

"Pika," Pikachu said, nodding his head and wanted to keep going.

"Alright," Ash said, getting ready and thought some things through.

Naruto smiled at this drive to keep going and said, "Not bad you two. Let's keep this battle going, Knuckles use Close Combat again."

"Right," Knuckles agreed, rushing at the small mouse and waited for the next orders.

Ash quickly though that Naruto and Knuckles want to get close by using Close Combat for the same outcome, but not this time and has a plan in mind.

"Pikachu used Agility to dodge it," Ash ordered, having Pikachu moving quickly and dodged all the attacks rushing at him.

It was a start and the young trainer needs to work fast with his next attack.

Once the little mouse was away from his opponent, the next attack will take place.

"Now use ThunderShock," Ash commanded, having his friend fired a powerful volt of thunder towards Knuckles.

Knuckles couldn't dodge in time as the thunder cover his way to escape, but his partner had a counter plan to that attack and dealt with some Gym Battles like this before. The fighting dog stays his ground and waits for the next move.

"Use Bone Rush," Naruto said, having Knuckles creating a blue energy bone into his hands and soon spin it like a helicopter blade to capture the thunder in, stopping and canceling the attack head-on.

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, and Brock were shock by this cancel/counterattack that was soon, having their eyes widen. Naruto's girls and Delia won't shock by this as they saw that move before when watching the two train or battle Electric-type Pokemon. If electric attacks don't work on Ground-types, then why not use a move like Bone Rush to counter as it is a ground base move.

Naruto had created this counter move during his training and even shared this move with fellow trainers that have a Lucario. It comes in very handy against Electric-type Pokemon and now the battle was heating up.

"Now use Bone Rush to attack," Naruto ordered, having Knuckles rushing at Pikachu and launched power swing strikes onto the little mouse.

"PIKA!" Pikachu cried out in pain as he was getting hit from left to right seven times by Knuckle's Bone Rush and was soon smacked hard into the ground by the last attack.

"Pikachu!" Ash shouted, seeing his partner taking a hard beating.

Pikachu fought through the pain as he got on his feet, having electrics fire up and was not giving up. He looked at his trainer and nodded his head, wanting to keep going. This caused Ash to nod his head and was not giving up just hit as the fight wasn't over just yet.

Naruto and Knuckles shared a smirk on their face, being happy for their opponents not giving up and had a fire within their eyes to keep going evening the odds on up against them. It reminds the two of their hard battles they fought long and hard on. The first battle wasn't over and close on ending.

"Pikachu uses Agility with ThunderShock," Ash ordered, having Pikachu rushing at Knuckles with volts of thunder following behind.

"Knuckles withstand the attack and wait," Naruto said, having Knuckles cross his arms into an X and took the Thunder Shock head on.

The fighting dog grunted a little but withstand it and waited for the next move. The thunder attack was done, and the young trainer was not going to let out.

"Now use ThunderBolt," Ash said, having Pikachu launch powerful bolt of thunder towards his opponent.

Naruto smirked as his plan was in motion and said, "Dodge and get in close."

Knuckles nodded his head and charged forward in high speed, shocking Ash and Pikachu of the speed and soon found the dog appearing in front of the mouse.

"Knuckles end this with Focus Blast," Naruto finished, having his partner right hand be covered in yellow energy and launched the punch into the mouse's gut.

Pikachu grunted and cried in pain as he was launched hard into the ground by the powerful hit and was out cold. His eyes were spinning and can no longer battle, being the first and gave the win to Naruto's team.

"Are you okay buddy?" Ash asked as he picks up Pikachu and made sure he was good.

Pikachu smiled weakly and gave a small smile, telling his friend that he was good. Ash sighed in relief and soon look up to only be in shock or something.

Naruto handed Knuckles an Oran berry and soon handed it to the young trainer.

"Knuckles is happy for the small battle and hopes for another. So, he is giving Pikachu an Oran berry to help recover," Naruto explained his partner's actions.

"Thanks," Ash said, taking the berry and giving it to his partner.

Knuckles smiled and nodded his head in welcome as he returns to his partner's side.

"Want to watch?" Naruto asked, seeing that his friend didn't want to return in his Pokeball.

"Yes, I have a feeling that this battle might get interesting," Knuckles replied as he sat down into a meditation state

"Alright, time for the second battle," Naruto said as he took out his second Pokeball and ready for the next match.

Ash placed Pikachu somewhere safe to watch the rest of the small battle and got out his next Pokeball for round two. He needs speed and has just the Pokemon for the job in the second battle.

"Come on out, Pidgeot!" Ash called out, throwing the Pokeball forward and had his bird Pokemon popping out before everyone.

"Interesting, but now let's go Vixen," Naruto said, throwing his Pokeball and had his fire nine-tailed fox coming out.

Vixen was a Ninetales, a fox with nine tales and Fire-type that has been with Naruto since he started his journey. The blonde master had found Vixen since she was an egg that hatched Vulpix and later evolved into a Ninetales. She has been traveling with her friend throughout different regions and two had a great partnership too friendship.

Ash will need to be on his guard as he saw Naruto training with his Ninetales when he was little young and fought a Ninetales before at his last Gym Battle. So, he will have to be careful. While Pidgeot does have speed and flight, but he doesn't know what Vixen was capable of and will have to find out for himself.

"Pidgeot use Wing Attack," Ash commanded, having Pidgeot's glow white and started to fly in towards the fox.

"Dodge it," Naruto said, having Vixen dodging the Wing attack and soon saw an opening as the attack miss to add in, "Now use Flame Wheel."

Vixen soon spins, forming a fire to surround herself and started to spin like a wheel to change into the bird. Pidgeot had little time to move out of the way as Ash was shocked at the speed that the nine-tailed fox shown. The bird grunted in pain, but he shook it off and stare at the fox.

The Ninetales was still doing Flame Wheel and waited for the next move. Naruto had train his Ninetales to attack not once when doing a fire wheel attack and has come in handy. Now let's see if it can do that again.

Once knowing it was good to move and got a plan, Ash then said, "Wing Attack again."

Pidgeot nodded his head and charged in with his wings glowing.

Naruto raised an eyebrow and wonder where this was going. He knows that Ash makes a few mistakes and wonders where this attack might go. Only one way to find out.

"Use Flame Wheel again," Naruto said, having Vixen moved a few seconds and drive towards the bird.

"Now use Gust!" Ash called out with a smirk, having his plan in motion.

Pidgeot stopped his attack and opened his wings to launch a gust of wind towards the flame fox, causing Vixen to stop her flame attack and held her ground.

"Now tackle," The young trainer finished, having the bird Pokemon tackle the fox with little damage and was a start.

Vixen shook her of little love tap and waited for orders. Naruto was a little impressed by this plan of attack and it seems that Ash did learn a few tricks. Good to think of his feet and now it was time for the blonde to kick it up.

"Not bad Ash. Good plan to change attacks, but it is not over yet. Vixen uses Double Team," Naruto ordered, having Vixen make copies of herself to surround the bird.

Pidgeot was worried now as he can't attack all of them at once and doesn't know which one was the real one. Ash too didn't know as he lost track of who was the real one and this could end badly.

"Now use Swift," Naruto added, having the real Vixen firing a many star attacks from her tales towards Pidgeot and caused him to be confused while taking hits.

Pidgeot lands on his feet on the ground with his stars in his eyes and had his spin, being confused from the Swift attack and all the Ninetales disappeared to leave the real one standing.

"Pidgeot snap out of it," Ash called out, seeing his bird still confused and tried to think of a way to fix this, but was too late.

"Now let's finish this up and turn up the heat. Vixen end this with Flamethrower," Naruto ordered, snapping his fingers and had Vixen fired a powerful Flamethrower out of her mouth towards her target.

"Pidgeot!" Ash shouted in worried as he watched Pidgeot being launched backward towards his feet by the Flamethrower attack and was out cold.

"Second round goes to me. Not bad so far. Good job Ash, Pidgeot and you too Vixen," Naruto said as he took a knee and pat his Ninetales, getting some happy purrs.

"Thank you, Naruto. It was nice to have a small battle and test some of our training moves out," Vixen said with a smile and soon joined with Knuckles to watch the last the battle.

"Indeed, now rets up and watch the next battle," Naruto said, getting out his last Pokeball from his belt and have the third-round start.

Ash brought his Pokeball to return Pidgeot for some rest and said, "You did a good job. Now rest."

The young trainer knows his older brother and his Pokemon were strong, but he never thought they will this strong. The blonde trainer can easily change battle to his favor with good moves due to training. It was going to be a close battle for the young Ketchum, but he wasn't planning on losing as he brought his last Pokemon. He was creating a gamble from himself and his last Pokemon.

Front Ketchum House

Just outside of Ketchum House, being the front had two people coming by to visit a certain blonde and spend some time with him. Both young women in early twenties and had just reached within Pallet Town just a few minutes ago.

The first is a young woman with pale skin, blue eyes and periwinkle hair, tied in a ponytail with a yellow band, and two pigtails. She wears a black and red cape with yellow shoulder pads, a blue skin-tight bodysuit, blue gloves with black bracelets on her wrists, and blue knee-length high heeled boots with black anklets. She also wears a blue gem on her neck, resembling a Dragonair's pearl, and yellow earrings, shaped like a dragon's tooth. Also had a black hang bag by her side that has her Pokeballs and few things in. This was Clair the Gym Leader of the Blackthorn City Gym located in Johto and happens to be Lance's cousin.

The second is a tall, slender young lady. She has long, wavy, creamy blonde hair and small gray eyes, black straight leg trousers, a long black coat with a V neck and black fur trimming the cuffs and running down the end of the coat and a large teardrop shaped ornament on the center of the coat, probably used as a fastener, she also dons a black top underneath. Her outfit is finished with black kitten heels and a yellow stripe on each shoe. For accessories, she wore a large, black feathery ruff around her neck with 2 hair clips in her hair, both resembling two teardrop-shaped objects conjoined with a pale-yellow stripe. Also has a black necklace with a blue jewel in it around her neck, being a gift from someone she loves. This was Cynthia the Champion of the Sinnoh region.

Now, why is a Gym leader and Champion doing all the way out here in Kanto? Well, that is easy to say as they want to meet their shared boyfriend's hometown and have some battles during their stay.

"So, this is Naruto-kun's home town? Hmm not bad, small but it reminds me back home in Johto," Clair said, liking the view so far.

"Indeed, not bad at all. Very nice and Pallet Town does show a good view," Cynthia agreed.

Before another word was shared, the two soon heard a Pokemon battle was taking place in the back of the house. This caused the pair to head back and soon smiled at their boyfriend that was in a battle. And from the looks of it, battling his young brother they told about.

Clair and Cynthia stay quiet, wanting to know what the last battle will be.

This could get interesting.

Back to the Battle

"Let's go Charizard!" Ash called out, throwing his last Pokemon that might work.

Charizard roared as he came out of his Pokeball and waited for his opponent which the older trainer replied with his own Dragon-type.

"Come on out, Amaterasu," Naruto said, throwing his last Pokemon and allowed his own Charizard to rise.

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, and Brock were soon welcome and shocked by what they are seeing. As Naruto's girls and mom had seen the blonde's Charizard before, is not in total shock.

Amaterasu was a female Charizard with black skin, light blue on her stomach, aura blue flames instead of red, and dark blue eyes. This was shining Charizard, being one of Naruto's first Pokemon he started off with and the two went through hard battles.

However, the battle was going to be put on hold. You want to know why? Well…

"Come on Charizard! Please battle!" Ash begged, seeing Charizard being lazy to fight and not listening to his partner.

Charizard didn't listen as he starched his chin and soon fall into the ground to sleep with a bubble coming out of his mouth.

Naruto and Amaterasu blinked a few times, not believing what was going on and never met a Pokemon like this before.

On the sidelines, Pikachu, Misty, and Brock groaned at Charizard's laziest again. Leaf, Hilda, and Serena wonder what was up with this Charizard. They saw them before and a lot in their Johto visit. So, what was wrong with this one. Dawn and Zoey wondered the same thing wonder as well and could tell that something was up.

Clair narrowed her eyes, being in deep thought and never saw such a lazy Charizard before. Her friend would have beat that lazy shit out of this fat lizard's butt and this Gym leader wonders what happen to this group to be like this.

Cynthia placed her right hand on her chin and thought about this Charizard. Something must have happened between Ash and his Pokemon for their bound to be like this. Hmm, something to look at and this champion wanted to investigate that.

But let's get back to the battle at hand.

Amaterasu looks back at her friend and said, "Is this Charizard for real?"

"I think so," Naruto answered with a shrug of his shoulders and wonder why this Charizard was different from the other males he met before.

Amaterasu thought of an idea to wake the lazy ass up and had a smirk on her face which her trainer knows what she was going to do. She calmly walks towards the sleeping Charizard and looks back at Naruto to allow her to do what she plans to do.

"Go ahead, but not too hard as his lesson needs to be dealt with," Naruto said, allowing Amaterasu to go about her plan.

This caused Amaterasu to have an evil grin with a clear look on her face and soon put her foot up, forming Stomp and slammed back to her target. Her foot landed hard on Charizard's tail, causing him to wake with his eyes wide open and held his tail in pain.

Amaterasu started to giggle at Charizard's reaction, getting him mad and narrowed his eyes at the female Charizard.

On the sidelines, some almost laugh but kept their cool. Clair and Cynthia did giggle but stopped as they still have some questions about this Charizard and will find out.

"Alright now Charizard use – wait what are you doing!" Ash shouted, seeing Charizard rushing at his enemy in rage and not listen to his trainer.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at this, seeing something and will fix this as he said, "Amaterasu use Dragon Breath."

Amaterasu took inhale, creating a purple flame in and launched outwards at the raging Charizard. This caused him to stop dead in tracks, groaning in pain as the flames hit his skin and couldn't move for something. The reason why was that Dragon Breath had caused paralyze as electrizes sparks off the body and trapped the male Charizard.

"Now use Dragon Dance and finish this with Fire Blast," Naruto commanded, having Amaterasu roared and was covered in red/pink aura.

Ash's eyes widen as he remembers what Fire Blast does and the damage it can do. Before he could say or do anything, the black Charizard opens her mouth to launch her powerful attack at setting duck lizard. The blue fire too took the shape of kanji (Dai) and blasted Charizard into the ground by the powerful attack, causing to groan in pain of electives and fire hits his skin.

Once the flame was done, almost everyone was shock of such a powerful attack and outcome it showed. Charizard was knock out, giving Naruto the win and Ash the lost. Thus, ending the small battle.

"Charizard!" Ash cried out as he rushed at the fallen Charizard and check to see if he was okay.

Naruto sighed, not feeling a good battle, but something else and didn't what the battle to end like this. Amaterasu shared the same feeling as well and wanted a more from the battle as she walks towards her friend to have a word.

As the pair talked, the sidelines Clair and Cynthia started to talk to Misty and Brock some a few questions about Ash and his Charizard.

"You see when Ash first found Charizard, he was just a Charmander abandoned by his trainer and we came across him doing our travel. We took him to the Pokemon Center and nurse back to full health. After some trouble, Charmander joined Ash and everyone was great, but it didn't last long," Brock explained the first part of the story while also holding back his other side from such beatifies before him.

Clair and Cynthia frowned at the mention of Charizard's first trainer abandoning him and didn't like that such trainers do that to their Pokemon. It might cause some trouble but moving on and get some more information.

"What happened? Did Ash neglect his training and care for Charmander?" Clair asked.

"No, he didn't. Ash and Charmander were friends, doing battles from left to right and have come a long why. However, that change when Charmander evolved into a Chameleon when stopping a rampaging Exeggutor. At that point, Charmeleon was no long loyal to Ash and started attacking anything in his sites. He was stopped by Parasect using Spore and Ash was told that he needed to learn to control him," Misty responded, remembering that the two's bound like it was yesterday and hoped the two will fix their bound back up.

"It still got worse from the looks of it," Cynthia said, looking at Ash helping Charizard now and what happen early.

"Yeah but only when battling strong opponents to test his strength," Brock said, remembering the last battle that Charizard had with the Fire Gym Leader's last Pokemon.

"Pride, being all Dragon-types' or Pokemon that shared a dragon looks downfall and will cause damage between trainer and Pokemon, but it can be fix," Clair said, knowing and remembering a few mistakes that happen between Dragon-type trainers and their Dragon Pokemon.

"Can Ash and Charizard fix that?" Misty asked, not wanting her friend to get hurt and held her little Pokemon close to her for safety.

Clair and Cynthia closed their eyes to hum a little, thinking for answer to that question and found none sadly, leaving to the trainer and Pokemon to figure something out. Misty and Brock were worried, but they have a feeling that something good will turn around. The rest of Naruto's girls had heard this and understand having problems with their Pokemon first hand due to them evolving or their pride taking over. They have overcome and made their bond strong with their Pokemon, thanks to their shared boyfriend helping them. Delia had heard all of it and knows that her boys will figure something as Naruto will always help Ash like older brother will for his younger brother.

Naruto had walked towards his little brother and said, "You need to have strong bond with your Pokemon in order to have them trust and listen to you, Ash. Never give up, evening with odds up against you. Believe in your Pokemon to train hard and follow your own path, little brother."

Naruto then had his right hand out to help his brother up on his feet and vow him with training.

Ash was in awe shock and taken back of his older brother's words of wisdom. He loves his brother and grow up very well. The young trainer had also look up and wanted to step out his brother's shadow, but he is starting to see that he can't do and was his person. He can have his own journey and learn from his older brother how to be great Pokemon Master one day.

Ash smiled as he takes the helping hand and today was good lesson to be learn.

Today was a great day and more are to come.

The reason why I don't have any characters from Sun and Moon on this list is that they don't have Gym Leaders, but Trials, Grand Trials, and Kahunas. If I have a list of Kahunas and Gym Leaders then I have them down, but this list was just Gym Leaders and maybe next time I will have Elites from different regions or just have a Kahunas list but let's move on to Naruto's harem.
