Chapter 3

Viridian City Pokémon Center:

After dealing with the three would be pokémon thieves Shino heads back to the room he was sharing with basically his genin teammates. He was not surprised to find Naruko curled up with Ash on the same bed. Delia would throw a fit, even if the pair of them were way too young to even begin to think about those kind of activities just yet. Adults never thought things through. Shino releases his Krabby into the room's aquarium, his Poochyena leaps up on a separate bed while his Weedle settles down near an east facing window to get the morning sun shining on him as it rose.

Shino takes care of his personal hygiene, and once in his pajamas he settles himself into bed. He honestly did not mind his Poochyena crawling up to snuggle with him, though he does absentmindedly rid him of his flea and tick problem. His kikaichū destroy them without any mercy as he did not want his friends' Poochyena to get infected with the ones he chased away. He'd check in the morning to see if any of their pokémon had infestation problems. Once Shino is asleep the light jumps for a moment before revealing a quadruped, yellow, tiger-like Pokémon with black stripes and a white underside. It has a thin, light blue tail with sharp angles and a spark-shaped formation at the end. Most of its face consists of thick, white fur and shorter yellow fur around its red eyes. This pokémon's muzzle is a light blue "X" and it has a black faceplate with two bumps that covers its forehead, nose, and ears. This pokémon has two long fangs that make its appearance similar to the saber-toothed cat. Its large claws each converge to form a single point and never retract. Extra fur hangs off its body in front of its thighs. This pokémon has a mane across its back that resembles dull purple rain clouds and allows it to shoot bolts of lightning can be seen right outside the window the three friends share.

This pokémon is Raikou, the Thunder Pokémon, and one of Johto's Legendaries. Raikou is also the patron Legendary for Naruko's paternal lineage. Raikou was infuriated by Naruko's treatment in Konoha. She, and Raikou preferred to think of itself as being female, had been too slow to act when intervention had been directly needed. Minato's cub did not deserve how she had been treated, at least now she was with the Chosen One. Who cared if the cub was the center of a prophecy in the Elemental Nations. They should have thought of that before treating her as a lesser being! Raikou knew she was taking a huge risk of being seen by coming to observe the last Namikaze by blood in person, but she needed to be sure the cub would be safe. The Namikaze hadn't thought ahead like the Uzumaki had, and thus Minato had in fact been the last one left until Naruko had been born.

Raikou had never been more grateful to Lugia than when he, and Lugia preferred to be male most of the time, had intercepted that Fire Blast with Aeroblast. They both knew Sarutobi Hiruzen had done all he could to protect Naruko, but her life only got better when Shino became her friend, as he had been able to humanely deal with the pokémon that had been trained to attack her. That the cub would willingly place herself in harm's way to protect her only friend, and his Weedle…it said a lot about her strength of character. How the cub hadn't snapped during her nine years in that Hell on Earth for herself none of the Legends could even begin to fathom. At least she now knew why she had been treated in such a way thanks to the Aburame Heir teaching her how to meditate.

Genesect had also thanked Lugia for acting as quickly as he did to save the Aburame Heir. Raikou takes her leave, but resolves to keep a close eye on the cub. She had noticed that Ho-oh had blessed the Chosen One with a Rainbow Wing, the Chosen One would have an interesting path ahead of himself, made all the more interesting by the fact that his friends had seen fit to unlock his chakra coils, and teach him all they could. Hm, hadn't Moltres saved that oddball Uchiha during the Third Shinobi World War? Maybe he could be directed to train the ready made genin team of Ash, Naruko, and Shino? She'd mention it to Moltres.

Konoha:

You could hear the pissed off buzzing coming from Shibi at the council meeting, there were no other signs that the Aburame head was pissed off. The Civilian Council was wanting to seize Naruko's inheritance, and Shibi had finally had enough of their blatant ignorance. Every single member of the Civilian Side of the council is covered by his kikaichū while he has his Scizor hold a pincer open around Danzo's throat, ready to snap it shut at any moment, while his Vespiqueen and Beedrill keep the other two honored elders in check, " Well, this troublesome, you Idiots have pissed off an Aburame to the point he has chosen to act. " Shikaku Nara, the head of the Nara Clan, and Jonin Commander drawls out.

" Lord Hokage, might I recommend you make it mandatory for everyone whom lived through the Incident on October 10 nearly eleven years ago to receive treatment from the Yamanaka Clan. "

Inoichi bangs his head on the table, " Thanks, Shibi, I agree the whole village needs grief counseling, treatment for PTSD, anger issues, and probably several other deep seated issues as well. To borrow from Shikaku, doing this will be Troublesome. "

" Consider it done. I realize that Naruko will probably never return as her maternal patron Legendary saw fit to remove the last mainline Uzumaki from the Elemental Nations, but to suggest taking her Inheritance…spitting on Minato's last wish, for her to be seen as a hero for keeping half of the Kyuubi contained, I should have acted much sooner. One move I don't like, my former teammates, and I will end you all for treason. " Hiruzen states.

" Once my Heir finds a way to get in contact the Aburame Clan will be leaving this cesspit that Konoha has become. I have already filed the appropriate paperwork with the Daimyo as well, before any of you Elders get it into your misanthropic minds to try and stop us. We will be ready to leave at a moment's notice. " Shibi says. The mere fact that actual emotions could be heard in his tonal inflections meant he was well and truly fed up.

Shikaku groans, " Fuck you, respectfully, Shibi. "

Shibi quirks an eyebrow, " My Clan and I have endured all we could, it is time for us to migrate when our wayward Heir contacts us, we will be ready. The Daimyo has agreed to pave the way for us as well. "

Viridian City:

When morning dawns Shino is up first, and he takes his clothes into the bathroom to get changed. While none of them were by any means modest or prudish, they did conform to societal standards whenever they could. He recalls his Poochyena and Krabby, checks on his Heracross Egg, and allows his Weedle to climb up his left arm, and rest on his left shoulder. He'd let his friends sleep in, they had no set time to head out for Viridian Forest, though he does locate the local Camping Store to have his tent, and other camping gear checked to make sure they were still one hundred percent water repellant. It would not do to have his allies die due to drowning.

He comes across Leaf, the only other female starting trainer from Pallet Town as he does so. She wanted his help to catch a Weedle, and not get the whole Hive of the evolutionary line after her, " One moment, I shall leave word with Nurse Joy for Ash and Naruko. Once I help you catch a Weedle I will return to Viridian City while you move on without me. This is fair, correct. "

Leaf nods at this, she knew Shino would never abandon Naruko or Ash. Once Shino has left a note for his friends he heads off to the Forest with Leaf. Shino was perhaps the only person that could walk through an enraged Hive of the Weedle evolutionary line in Kanto without a scratch. This would also give him time to negotiate safe passage later on since Ash happened to be allergic to Beedrill stings, highly allergic. Shino was the only one that could protect Ash from enraged Beedrill. Ash loved all pokémon so to see him haul ass away from a Beedrill had Shino and Naruko asking him why. Finding out he had a legitimate medical reason as to why he avoided the ever loving Hell out of Beedrill had Shino resolving to keep his friend safe from them. It was unknown if he was also allergic to Vespiqueen's sting, or even Ribombee's. Ash hadn't been exposed to them yet.

Naruko had a rather justifiable leeriness when it came to Raticate, both varieties, but as far as they knew no allergies. Then again the Kyuubi was hardly going to allow his landlady to die from something mundane like anaphylactic shock. Naruko had told Shino about her tenant, and all the little things that hadn't made sense back in Konoha slid neatly into place. It was rather nice to know why almost all of Konoha had been acting so irrational. Shino knew Naruko was leery of telling Ash about her tenant, he happened to be her second ever friend, but Shino knew Ash would never hold something like that against her. Instead he'd be outraged at how she had been treated for circumstances outside of her control seconds after she had been born!

Shino makes his way back to the Pokémon Center just as Ash and Naruko are heading for the cafeteria, they had read his note. Ash had also looked up Professor Kukui's number so they could call him, and maybe work out a trade with him. " Well, Alola, this is a surprise, it's not often I get calls from Kanto. "

" Professor, we were wondering if you would be open to some trading. My name is Shino Aburame, and I have a non-Alolan Rattata I would like to trade for a Dewpider. The blonde beside me caught a Rattata with the Egg Move Final Gambit, and would like an Alolan Meowth. The final person would like to trade Rattata for Rattata. The blonde is Naruko Uzumaki, and he's Ash Ketchem. "

" I see, Rattata and Meowth are easy enough to get, they're here on MeleMele Island, Dewpider is on Akala Island, at Brooklet Hill. I can put in a call to the Trial Captain at Brooklet Hill though, and she should be able to catch one easily enough. Why Dewpider though? " Professor Kukui asks.

" I am a Bug Type Specialist. " Shino answers.

" Do you have a PokéGear, I can call when I have the Pokémon for the trades? "

Shino tells him his number, " Our Rattata are all at Professor Samuel Oak's lab, we will transfer them to ourselves when we get the call, we'll be traveling through Viridian Forest soon to reach Pewter City. "

" Understood, now why the Alolan variants of Meowth and Rattata? "

" Sabrina. " Ash deadpans.

" I like the idea of Meowth only evolving through High Friendship. " Naruko admits, " Besides, I'm an aspiring Coordinator. "

" I see, why catch a Rattata with Final Gambit? "

" I know you study Pokémon Moves, Professor Sycamore in Kalos studies Mega Evolution, Professor Juniper in Unova studies Pokémon Origins, Professor Rowan in Sinnoh studies Pokémon Evolution, Professor Birch in Hoenn studies Pokémon Habitats, Professor Elm in Johto studies Pokémon Breeding Patterns, and Kanto's Professor Samuel Oak studies Pokémon/Human relationships. Samson Oak studies the regional variants and Totem Pokémon. I've heard that Professor Krane in the Orre Region specializes in the Purification of Shadow Pokémon. Professor Hastings of Oblivia created the Capture Stylers Pokémon Rangers use. Professor Ivy of the Orange Island Archipelago studies Regional Differences of Pokémon, she might do well to collaborate with Samson. There's also your wife, Professor Burnet whom studies the relationship between Pokémon and different dimensions at the Dimensional Research Lab on Akala Island. " Naruko admits.

Ash cocks his head to the side, " You said all that for my benefit, didn't you? "

" I did, as like me, you are a kinesthetic learner, you need a more active approach. " Naruko says.

Professor Kukui laughs, " You certainly have done your research, Naruko, even I didn't know whom created the Capture Styler. I wouldn't mind some Kanto Geodude, as Alola's are Rock/Electric Dual Types. "

" We will speak with you again soon, Professor Kukui. " Shino says, and hangs up the call.

" Naruko, how did you learn all that? " Ash asks.

Naruko sighs, " I like learning about Pokémon, and that includes those that study them. Now, we need to pack up so we can head out, after we check and see if our camping gear is properly water repellant. "

" That's a very good point, it would suck to find out the hard way that one of our tents is damaged, or something like that. " Ash admits.

His grades in school had shot up when Shino would quiz himself and Naruko while they were going through the few katas the transplants knew. Ash retained the information a lot easier. He checks on his egg while Naruko checks on her own, then they head for the nearest Camping Store. Ash found out his sleeping bag was too old, so he had to get a new one which his mom agreed to pay for, and the shipping costs to ship the old one back to her once he called her about the issue. The mayor had gotten new and reputable gear for Shino and Naruko. Everything else was good to go, so they set out to Viridian Forest. " Ash, you need not fear the Beedrill, I negotiated safe passage when I helped Leaf to catch a Weedle safely. Why? I felt it was prudent to eliminate two traitors with one kunai. "

Ash sighs in relief, " Thanks, Shino. Beedrill is the one Universal Pokémon in every damned region. I am not looking forward to finding out the hard way if I'm also allergic to Vespiqueen and Ribombee stings as well. "

" Can't really blame ya for that, Ash. That day we saw you running from a Beedrill we knew there had to be a reason, wasn't expecting it to be a medically relevant reason though. A Phobia, okay, but a medically relevant reason, not so much. " Naruko says, they all had their Poochyena out so they could work on their endurance. Weedle and Pikachu were on their respective trainers shoulders, and Kuwa was out flying around. Ash's Poochyena helps him catch a Caterpie, and Shino catches a Shiny female Caterpie which was completely yellow in color save for the feelers that were red like a normal Caterpie. Shino lets his Caterpie climb up onto his other shoulder so she can chat with his Weedle.

Shino leads them to an area that the Beedrill said they could train in, " The Beedrill will allow us to train here. This would be a good opportunity to work on our chakra control by doing the tree climbing exercise. Why? One should always be prepared for the worst. "

The other two nod at this, and Shino hands them each a kunai to mark their progress. Even if they couldn't learn any ninjutsu they could at least work some more on their chakra control. They could only barely stand on water, in Naruko and Ash's case, Shino had excellent control due to his hive. This meant Shino was their instructor, and he was also in charge of setting up their camp for the day.

Hall of Origins:

Arceus, preferred gender being male, though genderless, cackles outright at the fact that his Chosen One was getting trained as a Ninja from the Elemental Nations. Raikou had already spoken to Moltres about having Obito train them up properly, just in the areas they were missing, the Uzumaki in Johto would handle the rest for their Heiress, and her genin team. The Elemental Nations were fucked over though since Naruko happened to be Their Chosen One. Oh well, they could all blame Konoha for the cluster fuck that would unfold years down the road. He had to admit Naruko winning a Riolu Egg for his Chosen One was genius. Riolu would be able to teach Ash how to use his Aura once the little one was old enough. Watching Naruko put her Uzumaki luck to work for her and her friends was hilarious. Especially how she fleeced Samuel Oak out of a lot of money to buy things for herself, Ash, and Shino.
