Chapter 5 Gym Battle

Naruto, Zinnia, and Cynthia were walking down the sidewalks of Viridian City as they just got word that the others are already here. While the group as walking Naruto's senses went up as he quickly turns around a grabbed a kick by one of his harem members as she is a slender young girl as she's at Serana age with tanned skin and both grey eyes and hair. She wears a black bodysuit under her Gym Leader uniform consisting of a white shirt with a black collar, a pair of white shorts with orange and black details as well the number "193" on it. She also wears a Dynamax Band, a black and orange glove and a matching hairband on her hair. She is also barefoot and wears kneepads; this girl is Bea a Gym Leader in the Galar region.

Bea is an expert in karate in the Galar, Bea is a determined fighter who rarely displays her emotions, has an accurate sense of battle strategies and always remains calm even when facing a crisis. She smiled at her boyfriend's reaction time as he didn't slack off in his training.

"Bea it's been a while?" Naruto questioned her as he let go of her leg.

"It's been two months Naruto," Bea said.

Naruto looked and saw two more of his harem girls from Galar and another from Galar and another from Pallet town. The first is a young lady with short brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a grey cardigan over a hot pink dress with checkered green socks and brown boots on her feet. She dons a dark green hat with a white pompom on the top, resembling a beret. This girl is Gloria (The main girl from Sword and Shield) and she's from the Galar region.

The other is a slender young woman with fair skin, ginger hair in a large ponytail, and turquoise eyes. She wears a short light brown trench coat under which she wears a teal blouse, light blue skinny jeans, and a black purse with a white heart. She wears orange sunglasses, has a large black bracelet on her right hand, and has white heart-shaped decorations in her hair. She also wears black-and-turquoise high-heeled boots with white hearts. This girl is Sonia and she's another harem member and she's from Galar Region.

The third is a slim young girl with green eyes and black hair tied in twin tails, the latter with red ribbons. She wears a black choker, a pink dress under a black jacket and matching black and pink boots. She also wears a red ear piercing on her ear and carries a red backpack. This girl is Marnie (Galar) as she sees Naruto as a brother figure as he'd helped her out with her crazy fans.

The last is a young girl at his little brother's age with both brown hair tied into a ponytail and eyes. She wears a red and white baseball cap with a Poke ball logo on it and wears a black and white t-shirt, blue shorts with red cuffs, orange and white sneakers with yellow shoelaces. She also carries a light brown backpack. This girl is Elaine (From Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee game) and top of her head was her female Eevee named Sara.

Both Gloria and Sonia kissed Naruto on his cheeks as it was good to see their shared boyfriend.

"So Gloria you're here for the Kanto League?" he said as he notices another harem member is missing. "Where's Nessa?"

"Yes I am doing this League Naruto and for your other question is that Nessa is at Cerulean City as she's going to be the temp Gym Leader," Gloria said.

"And I'm going to be the temp Gym Leader for Pewter City," Bea said.

"I see well the others along with my brother are going to be here as my little brother is getting his Eighth Badge," Naruto said.

"That's cool," Elaine said.

They all decided to head toward the gym where Clair was battling trainers for their final badge and they were noticing a lot of trainers leaving the gym. Naruto knew that Clair was good and she uses Dragon-Type Pokemon and knew that they never face her before but if they beat her and faced her again in Johto then she will use different Pokemon in battle.

"So you're here Naruto." A female voice said.

Naruto and the others turn around and saw the others that he was going to meet. The first person is a tall and slim young girl. She has very long dark brown hair tied in two large sock buns above her ears, with two long locks hanging loose to her waist, and shorter locks on either side of her face, pale peach skin and dark blue eyes. She wears a pink and white visor on her head, as well as a salmon pink tank top tied with a bow around her neck like a bikini top under a white quarter length slim fit top with ice blue sleeves and a fully salmon pink semi-Poke Ball printed on the chest area. On her bottom half, she wears frilly flared mustard yellow shorts over black lycra leggings with salmon pink socks. Her hi-top shoes are ice blue and white with mustard yellow laces. She carries a large salmon pink and white handbag with a black strap over her shoulder. This girl is Rosa and Naruto met her just like Hilda in the Unova as they travel together and fought in the final round of the Unova League and gave it they are all but Naruto won at the end and she is well part of Naruto's harem.

The second girl is medium height and slim. She has long teal-blue hair tied in low bunches behind her ears and spiked bangs at the front, dark eyes and pale peach skin. She wears a yellow seamed-cap, a white jacket with red stripes on the cuffs over a crimson red turtleneck sweater, a black necklace, yellow and black bike Lycra skinny fit shorts, with white ankle-style socks, and red & white hi-top shoes with black stripes. She also has a beige shoulder bag. This is Kris as she's from the Johto Region as she's here to test her skill here in the Kanto League. Kris met Naruto and his group as Leaf, Blair, Yolei, and Ruby as they wanted to try the Johto League and they had a good time and she became part of Naruto's harem as she and Blair fought in the Semi-Final rounds in the Johto League and she lost to Blair but she had a good time.

The third girl is a girl with pink hair and teal eyes. She is wearing a long dark-teal dress, underneath a teal blouse with yellow buttons. Georgia also wears dark teal socks, teal boots with black heels, as well as a yellow hat and gloves. She also has a small black collar around her neck. This is Georgia and a member of Naruto's harem and friend/rival to Iris. Naruto met Georgia in the Unova as well and became good friends but she wasn't doing the Unova League but did some tournaments there and became part of his harem and she's here to try the Kanto League for the first time.

The fourth person is a medium height, slim girl with short yellow-blonde hair and bright green eyes. She is wearing a white shirt under a tangerine orange tank top, a tight-fitting shin-length white skirt which gives her bottom half a wider shape and a white bracelet on her left arm. She also wears a green beret with a white stripe running along the rim, orange tights and yellow pumps with white bows. She also has a green fringed shoulder bag, which she wears on her right hip over her left shoulder. This girl is Bianca as she's from the Unova Region and met with Naruto and the others in Unova and part of Naruto's harem and Bianca is a clumsy girl, who usually is running off and tackles other people (especially Naruto) in a pool of water. This is usually done due to Bianca's fickle nature since she is usually excited at some news she wanted to share. Also, Bianca adores cute or strong Pokémon (and, sometimes, this also applies to other people). Underneath, however, Bianca is a strong-willed person, who even manages to create interesting battle combinations to defeat her opponents.

The fifth girl has green hair and blue eyes as she was wearing a red shit that showed her stomach and red shorts and behind her was her female Charizard name, Charla. This girl is Liza (Johto) as she was in charge of Charicific Valley to train Charizard to be strong that is how Amaterasu became powerful when he left her there to be trained. Naruto and the others met Liza during their trip to Johto and saw Charicific Valley and were amazed by all the Charizards and their other forms there. Liza saw how strong Amaterasu was thanks to Naruto taking care of her and ask him to train her more which he agreed to and the two got along with other great and Liza became part of his harem.

The sixth girl has knee-length, puffy purple long hair in a loose huge ponytail and with two pigtails, brown eyes, and tan skin. She wears a cream-colored top with a pink collar and cuffs, a pink skirt with a big ribbon, white leggings which are colored yellow at the ends of the legs and pink and white shoes with yellow straps. This girl is Iris as she met Naruto and the others in Unova and they became good friends and they became siblings as her Dragon-type Pokemon Axew were good friends with each other as her dream is to be a Dragon Master.

The seventh girl has black hair with side-swept bangs aligned to the left. She has pale skin and slate-grey eyes. She was wearing a red flower-like toque on top of her head. Her clothes consist of a loose light cream colored t-shirt with light pink and gold flower patterns spread across it that is tied at the bottom and small teal shorts that showed off her bubble butt. Noticeably, the white color of a bra or tank top is visible under her left arm. On her feet, she wears red and black shoes with large yellow laces. She sports a grey Z-Ring on her right arm. This girl is Selene as she's from the Alola Region as that Region was a vacation region and she met Naruto and the others there as they want to do the Alola League but that league different as they have to do trials to enter the league something new for them and fun and Naruto had a hard time as his girls wore their bikinis as Naruto Jr. was about to pop out sometimes when he saw them. Selene saw him as a good friend and followed them to Kalos and Galar and now she's here to do the Kanto League.

The last girl is wearing a white rounded hat with a red ribbon on it, brown hair tied in pigtails, brown eyes and fair skin. She is wearing a black top under a quarter-sleeved dark red sweater with a light beige collar, denim jean overalls, a yellow handbag, white and black knee-length stockings, and red shoes with white soles. This girl is Lyra as she from the Johto League and is starting her first Pokemon journey and Kris's childhood friend and this is her first time meeting Naruto as Kris been talking a lot about her boyfriend.

"Hey, there girl's and who is this with you?" Naruto said/asks as he looked at Lyra.

"Hey, Naruto and this is Lyra and my childhood friend Lyra as she is starting her Pokemon journey so she's here to do the Kanto League as her starter is a female Chikorita." Kris said as she kisses Naruto on his cheek.

Liza, Bianca, Georgia, and Rosa did the same as they smiled at their shared boyfriend as it was good to see him again.

"So you're all here for the Kanto League as well?" he said.

"That's right Naruto," Georgia stated.

"And Naruto both Kahili and Olivia will meet you at Cerulean City as those two are going to be judges for the Kanto Pokemon Contest that taking place and they decided to pick you and Cynthia as the last judges," Selene said.

Naruto chuckled at this. "Okay I'll take part in it and you Cynthia?"

"I'll do as it will be fun and something new," Cynthia said as she smiles at this.

"So Naruto where are the others?" Rosa questions her boyfriend as she didn't see the others.

"Both Hilda and Leaf are training for their gym battles that they are starting as of May, Dawn, Serena, and Zoey are training for the contest and Clair is temp Gym Leader here." He answered her.

"Oh so they are getting ready for their gym battles, what about Blair, Yolei, Ruby and your younger brother?" Kris said.

"They'll be here today as they're getting ready." He said.

"Hey, Naruto," Hilda shouted as she and the others were coming toward them.

Rosa smile on seeing her childhood friend Hilda as she and the others greeted each other seeing some of their harem sisters.

"Hey Naruto-nii" Ash yelled.

Naruto saw his younger brother, Misty, Brock, Blair, Ruby, and Yolei heading toward them but he notices Elaine blushing when she saw Ash making him mentally chuckled as he knows that Elaine has a crush on Ash when they were growing up. But they were put out of their thoughts when they heard a young girl screaming.

"WATCH OUT!" the young girl yelled as she crashed into Ash.

The person that crashed into Ash is a short girl with a tan skin tone, dark green eyes, and long brown hair which she keeps in pigtails. She is wearing a dark pink T-shirt decorated by three large black bows and a pair of denim shorts with a black frilly bobble on the bottom, also complimenting her black frilly wristband. She has a white purse with a matching design on her shirt with a pink hood and a large black bow. On her feet, she wears dark pink ballet type shoes with short heels. And the two were on the ground in an interesting position and it was the 69 position but Naruto and the girls knew the girl.

"Shauna?!" Serena said on seeing her friend.

Shauna looked at Serena and smile. "Hey, Serena how are you doing."

"I'm doing fine and can you get off of Ash as your position is kind of… something you shouldn't be in." Serena said as she was blushing at the scene.

Shauna looked at Serena in confusion but heard a groan and she looked down and saw a boy's head facing up in her other area and her tan skin turn red as she quickly got off of him and bowing down to him a lot of times.

"I'm so sorry mister." She said.

Ash got up and spoke. "It's alright as it was an accident."

"Geez, Shauna that's a good way to make an entrance." A female voice said.

The person said that she is an elegant-looking girl, with brown eyes and blue hair. Miette wears orange-bluish headwear, a simple orange tie, a teal shirt with light blue sleeves and cyan shorts. She also wears long, white socks and orange shoes. This girl is Miette as she's a Pokemon Coordinator like Shauna is and they are here for the Pokemon Contest and a member of Naruto's harem as Shauna saw Naruto a big brother figure.

The last girl is small and slender. She has quite short, shiny, violet-colored hair, purple eyes with small eyelashes and thin eyebrows. She wears a long-sleeved lilac shirt with a large white collar edged with gold, thin gold cuffs and a white front with gold buttons and edging, as well as slim-fit trousers that are violet at the top and darker purple at the bottom, with a jagged pattern around the knee area separating the two colors. On her feet, she wears white ankle socks and black Mary-Jane shoes. This girl is Salon Maiden Anabel or Anabel she likes to call herself as she was visiting her home region as it was too long she' been here and a Pokemon Coordinator and she sees Naruto an older brother figure.

She reached her hand out to help out Ash which he took and help him up and she spoke. "I'm sorry about Shauna as when she saw Serena, Naruto, and the others she got too excited and ran here."

Ash rubs the back of his head. "It's quite alright really and Naruto-nii who are they?"

Naruto decided to introduce the others to his brother and the others and Brock went to his knees and a rain cloud appeared above him as he found out that Naruto has a harem and Misty just looked at him and wonder on how he can handle so many girls and how strong is his stamina but blush as she image herself in bed with him and shook it off but it was still there in her head. (For what Misty I'm using is the Japanese manga version of her with the language in Japan as her outfit she's wearing is quite revealing)

"So Ash is ready to fight Clair for the eighth badge," Naruto said.

"Huh, I'm going to face Lance's cousin for the eighth badge and not Giovanni?" Ash question.

"As of right now he's on the run as he didn't learn his lesson when I've fought him and he's the leader of Team Rocket," Naruto answers him.

"WHAT?!" Ash, Brock, and Misty shouted as they can't believe what they heard.

Naruto sighs at this and nodded his head for this but they heard a cocky tune.

"Well if it isn't Ashy-boy." The boy said with a group of cheerleaders behind him.

The said boy has auburn hair and black eyes. In the original series, he is wearing a long-sleeved purple shirt, a black necklace with a gold bead, dark blue pants, and brown boots. This is Gary Oak and Blair's younger brother.

"Gary," Ash growled at his rival.

Gary showed Ash his eighth badge. "Still behind Ashy-boy and you'll never be a great train… Ewww what the hell is."

Blair had enough of her younger brother's cocky attitude and pulled his right ear and twisted it a little and spoke. "Seriously little brother stop with the cocky attitude and respect my future bother-in-law."

She let go of his ear as he rubbed it and spoke. "Why should I and besides why you want to marry his loser of a brother?"

Blair glared at his brother making him flinch at her glare as she answered him. "Don't call Naruto a loser Gary and would you like to face him in a Pokemon battle then go ahead and battle him."

Gary pales as he has no chance of beating Naruto in a Pokemon Battle so he grumbled a bit as he left and go and train as the League won't start in two and a half months and Blair was smirking at this as she had him dead to rights.

Ash sighs at this and made a vow to beat Gary in a battle one day and Naruto saw the fire in his little brother's eyes as he knew that his and Blair sibling will face each other one day.

"So Ash are you ready?" Naruto said.

Ash looked at his big brother with the same fire in his eyes and answer him. "You bet I'm am Naruto-nii." And he looked at Pikachu. "Are you ready Pikachu?"

Pikachu looked at Ash with determination and pumped his fist. "Pikachu"

Ash smile at this as Naruto told where Clair was as the battle is taking place by another arena with the others following as they wanted to watch the battle while Blair, Yolei, Ruby and Elaine were going to battle Clair as well.

"So you think your brother has a chance?" Cynthia asks her boyfriend.

"Hard to say as he never faces her before but it's a learning experience for him," Naruto said as he looked at Liza. "And Liza watch the battle as well and be there to stop his Charizard just in case if it goes in rage."

"Is it that bad Naruto?" Liza questions him which he nodded yes and sighed at this. "Very well Naruto come along Charla."

Liza left with Charla following her trainer and Naruto rubbed his forehead as Team Rocket still doesn't know when to quit. But he and Cynthia decided to watch the battle as well as Naruto wanted to see his little brother's other Pokemon that he has.

Arena

Naruto, Cynthia, and Liza finally made it to the arena where they saw both Ash and Clair at the ends of the battlefield as Ash was a pump for his battle.

"So Ash Ketchum you're ready for our battle?" Clair said as she smiles at Ash's determination as Naruto overlapped him bringing up good memoirs.

"You bet I am," Ash said as he grabbed one of his Poke balls. "Let's do this Ivysaur." And toss it and out came his Pokemon.

His Ivysaur's appearance is very similar to that of its pre-evolved form, Bulbasaur. It still retains the turquoise skin and spots, along with its red eyes. Ivysaur's top fangs are now larger and are visible outside of the mouth. Also, its ears are now darkened to black in the center. Carrying the weight of the bud on its back makes Ivysaur's legs stronger. The most notable change is that the bulb is starting to bloom, with pink petals visible, and large leaves on the bloom bottom.

(On a note Ash Bulbasaur did evolve in the Manga)

Clair got her Poke ball out and toss it. "Come on out Salamence."

Her Pokemon Salamence is a blue and red dragon-like Pokémon with huge red wings and red eyebrows. It has large blue ears and its front and Pokémonferences between the regular color and the shiny variant of Salamence are that it has a green body while the belly plates and red sections have changed to orange. It is big enough that a trainer could stand on its back.

Ash took out his Poke Dex but have no info on her Pokemon. "Alright, Ivysaur are you ready?"

Ivysaur looked at Ash and nodded his head as he was ready. "Alright now, Ivysaur uses Razor Leaf."

Multiple Razor Leafs came out of Ivysaur's leaf petals and launch them at Salamence.

"Clair saw this and spoke. "Salamence Fly." Her Dragon Pokemon took to the skies to dodge the attack that was sent to her. "Now use Flamethrower."

Salamence launches its Flamethrower towards Ivysaur and Ash saw this as Grass Type Pokemon are weak against fire.

"Ivysaur dodge it," Ash orders his Pokemon which Ivysaur did.

"Now use Fire Fang," Clair orders her Pokemon.

Salamence charged in quickly as its fangs were on fire and bitten down on Ivysaur as the said Pokemon screamed in pain.

"Quick Ivysaur use Vine Whip." Ash quickly orders his Pokemon.

His Pokemon summons his vines to smack Salamence on the head which it works as Salamence let go of Ivysaur. "Now use Tackle."

Ivysaur head-butted Salamence in the gut and Ivysaur landed on his feet but grunted in pain thanks to Fire Fang as you can see the burn marks.

"Okay, Ivysaur starts collecting the sun rays," Ash orders his Pokemon.

'A bold move little brother but Clair won't sit there to happen.' Naruto thought.

"Salamence charge Ivysaur." Clair order her Pokemon.

Salamence charged Ivysaur to stop its attack.

"Ivysaur dodge it," Ash orders his Pokemon which Ivysaur dodge Salamence. "Now use Solar Beam."

Ivysaur launches its beam attack at Salamence but Clair with quick thinking order her Pokemon. "Dodge it Salamence." Salamence dodges the attack shocking Ash. "Now use Flamethrower"

Salamence launches another Flamethrower at Ivysaur and it was a direct hit on the grass-type Pokemon.

"IVYSAUR!?" Ash shouted as he saw his Pokemon engulf by flames and saw the flames die down and saw swirls in Ivysaur eyes.

"Ivysaur is unable to battle. The winner of this match goes to Clair." Blair announces the winner.

Ash calls back his Pokemon and smiles. "You did well Ivysaur so take a good long rest buddy." Then he looked at Pikachu. "You ready Pikachu?"

Pikachu nodded his and jumped off his partner's shoulder as his cheeks spark. Okay, Pikachu uses Quick Attack."

Pikachu charged at Salamence with great speed but Clair orders her Pokemon. "Salamence take to the air."

Salamence took to the skies but predicted this. "Now Pikachu quickly jump on Salamence back and use Thunder Bolt."

Pikachu did what Ash told him and jumped on Salamence back and used Thunder Bolt shocking the Dragon Pokemon as it hit the ground with a swirl in its eyes.

"Salamence is unable to battle. The winner goes to Ash Ketchum." Blair announces Ash the winner.

Clair called back Salamence and smiled at her partner. "You did well Salamence you can rest now." She then took another Poke Ball. "Let's go Dragonair."

Then her other Pokemon Dragonair appeared. Dragonair's appearance is like sea serpents with long, sleek bodies. The upper part of their body is light blue while its underside is white. They have a small, white horn on the forehead and two wing-shaped protuberances on the sides of the head which are often said to be ears, but are in fact wings, as evidenced in the short film preceding. They have a blue orb placed at the neck and another two near the tip of the tail. Along with Dratini, its mouth is rarely seen. It is unknown if it even has a mouth.

Ash looked at his Poke Dex and found the info on Clair's Dragonair. "Ready Pikachu?"

"Pika!" was the only thing it said meaning he was ready.

"Okay use Quick Attack," Ash said.

"Dragonair use Agility and Quick Attack." Clair order.

Both Pokemon charged at each other but the two dodges and Clair were quick with her order. "Dragonair uses Dragon Tail."

Dragonair's tail glows purple and hit Pikachu in the face as the said mouse Pokemon screamed in pain.

"Pikachu," Ash yelled at his friend.

"Now use a wrap," Clair said.

Dragonair wrapped around Pikachu's body and started to squeeze him as it screams in pain as it was being squeezed.

Ash gritted his teeth then an idea pop in his head. "Pikachu use Thunder."

This shock Clair as Thunder was a strong electric attack and Pikachu did what he was told him to do and use his Thunder attack and shock Dragonair as the said Pokemon scream in pain and soon swirls appeared in it eyes and fainted letting go Pikachu.

"Dragonair is unable to battle; the winner goes to Ash Ketchum," Blair said as she smirks at this.

"You did Pikachu." Ash cheered at his partner.

Naruto smirk at this a least Ash is a quick thinker but his Pikachu was breathing heavy as Dragonair took a lot out of him.

"I say that your brother is good Naruto," Liza stated.

"Indeed he is as he came along way to get here, but now how will he fair against Dragon-hime strongest Dragon and non-Dragon Pokemon's?" Naruto commented.

Cynthia nodded her head at this as Clair is going to bring out one of her powerful Dragons or non-Dragon Pokemon's.

"You try your best Dragonair but you can rest now," Clair said as she brought back her Pokemon and grabbed her last ball. "Let's go Dragonite."

Her next Pokemon is Dragonite greatly differ from their sea serpent-like pre-evolved forms. Both Dratini and Dragonair had a blue coloring with no limbs or wings (excluding the wing-like ears of Dragonair). Dragonite is a large, orange, bipedal Dragon with two turquoise wings on its back. Dragonite largely resembles a Charizard, as both have the same orange coloring, and the same blue underside of their wings, except for its lack of a flame on the end of their tails, and a somewhat rounder, and friendlier appearance. However, in the anime, Dragonite is rarely seen smiling. Dragonite resembles a proper looking dragon, unlike its pre-evolved forms Dratini and Dragonair.

Ash, Pikachu, Brock, and Misty looked on in shock on seeing a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon in the arena sans for the others. Ash gulped on seeing a Dragonite in front of him and knows he will have a tough battle ahead of him.

'Now what are you going to do now little brother?' Naruto thought as is younger brother facing off her first strongest Dragon-type as he took down her second strongest Salamence as it was to a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.

The third round will begin and will Ash and Pikachu beat Clair's strongest Dragon Pokemon for Ash final badge.
