Chapter 5

Viridian Forest:

A new day has dawned, and once again the Pallet Town Genin Team is training their pokémon, though Ash and Naruko were working on their chakra control as well with the tree climbing exercise. Shino had left his Weedle and Caterpie behind with Ash and Naruko while he goes out looking for Pinsir, hoping he got lucky since they weren't actually native to Viridian Forest when he comes across a Swarm of Kricketot. He catches all five of them, sending four back to Professor Oak's Ranch while keeping a male with himself. That would be all he'd keep on himself so he could keep his Heracross once it hatched. Poochyena and Krabby were enjoying their time with their trainer, and battling swarms also helped them to deal with multiple opponents at the same time, along with their teamwork and situational awareness.

The Aburame Heir looks at the trees around himself, and sends his allies out to see if there were any Ledyba or Spinarak hiding in them. He had no pokémon on him that knew Headbutt to knock them out, this would be an easier way. Through this method he gains a Spinarak and Ledyba for himself as well, though they were sent to Oak's Ranch. Personally Shino could not wait until they started traveling through Johto, he so wanted to thoroughly school Bugsy, the Azalea Town Gym Leader. As he continues his way through Viridian Forest, bonding with his Poochyena and Krabby his companions are working hard on their tree climbing though they were also keeping their pokémon on task as well. The bug types were being guarded by the Poochyena and Kuwa. Though if Pikachu saw any flying types heading for them he electrocuted them, no questions asked, Ash did catch a female Pidgeotto that Pikachu zapped the one time.

One Island:

Uchiha Obito looks at his family's Patron Legendary in shock, " What you're telling me is that Konoha disrespected Minato-sensei's last wish for his daughter to be seen as a hero for keeping the Kyuubi no Kitsune from destroying the village, treated her as a scapegoat to the point Kushina-nee's patron Legendary Lugia intervenes, and relocates sensei's daughter, the Aburame Clan Heir, and their pokémon to Pallet Town. There they meet Arceus' Chosen One, become friends with him, wake up his chakra, and they are all traveling together. Do I have that right so far? " Obito asks.

Moltres nods at this, " Next, Raikou has suggested I essentially become their Jonin sensei even though I am still technically a Chunin right? You do realize that I only know the Great Fire Ball Technique, Hiding Like Mole, and the Academy Three, right? "

Obito laughs his ass off when he finds out about what Fugaku's brother did, " Take me to Fuschia City first so Koga can get me up to speed on my Jutsu since I'm Fire and Earth. Hopefully with Koga's help I can actually get up to Jonin level without actually being a Jonin. Once that's done you can take me to them, or I can just wait in Fuschia City until they get there since Koga does happen to be a Gym Leader. Man, those stuck up bastards would be pissed to find out he specialized in Poison Types. Oh, can you get me a Litten? "

Moltres nods at this request, like most Uchiha, save for Koga and his daughter, Obito specialized in Fire Types, and had chosen a Chimchar egg for his first pokémon, had managed to catch a Tochic during the catch Tora mission, and a Numel during the War with Iwa. If not for the fact that Obito had the pokémon egg he won as a prize in a sealing scroll getting crushed to save Kakashi would have destroyed his egg. Through the benevolence of the Legendaries he didn't even carry any scars from his injuries. Unknown to Obito the cackling he'd let loose when his egg had hatched had caused Kakashi, and the entire Uchiha Clan bar Shisui to shudder. Why would Obito cackle upon the hatching of his egg? He'd ended up with a rare female Zorua that was shiny yet too.

Moltres had informed him of Itachi killing the Clan in order to stop them from committing a Coup d'etat against the Hokage. The only Uchiha left in Konoha was little Sasuke, Mikoto and that bastard Fugaku's youngest child. That meant that the Uchiha Clan was essentially relocated to the Kanto region. Hm, he'd have to talk with Koga and see if he'd be willing to have a few more kids, and make a proper Uchiha Clan.

Fuschia City:

To say Koga and his daughter are stunned when a young man appears in front of them in a flash of fire is putting it mildly, " Hey there, I'm Obito Uchiha, Moltres saved me during the Third Shinobi World War after I donated my left Sharingan eye to my teammate whom lost his left eye. Thanks to the Legendaries I'm scar free, and I was part of he whom became the Fourth Hokage's genin team. Officially my rank is Chunin, and I've been tasked to train my sensei's only living legacy along with Arceus' Chosen One, and the Aburame Heir as my genin team. I came here so Koga could get my skills up to Jonin, as my jutsu library sucks. "

Koga's eyebrows twitch at this, but at least the young man wasn't an arrogant bastard like most Uchiha, " Oh, the Clan got slaughtered because they were planning a Coup d'etat, leaving only six living Uchiha, and yes, Madara is still alive. "

The twitch stops when Koga learns this, " Whom are the other two? "

" Your nephews Itachi and Sasuke. " Obito answers.

" I see, well, I suppose I can get you up to Jonin level. Whom was the Fourth Hokage anyhow? "

" Minato Namikaze, and he married Kushina Uzumaki. Unlike the Uchiha and Namikaze, the Uzumaki were smart, and some of them left the Elemental Nations and settled on Blue Point Island of the Whirl Islands in Johto. " Obito answers promptly.

" Janine, looks like I will be dating once more. The Uchiha Clan will rise from the ashes like our Patron, and no longer will the arrogance that ran rampant be tolerated. Besides, nothing would piss my brother off more than for me to be the new Clan Head. I will need to get in touch with the Fire Daimyo though, and officially move the Uchiha Clan. I'll also pray to Moltres to get my youngest nephew in our care. Hopefully the Uchiha Arrogance has not taken hold in him yet. If it has, Janine, you have my full permission to beat it out of him. "

" Understood, father. Obito could help teach at our ninja school, this way he gains experience teaching as well. " Janine says.

" True enough, daughter. "

Viridian Forest:

Naruko and Ash have taken a break for lunch, and their pokémon gather around them. A Butterfree had brought them a note from Shino, whom stated he was slipping out of the Forest back towards Kanto Route 3 to catch a Pineco since they happened to be bug types, and he neglected to think of doing so sooner. Kuwa gets some dead branches with leaves on them for Weedle and the Caterpie to eat while the others are given permission to go forage one at a time. This was so the others would still be there to protect Weedle and the Caterpie. Specifically Pikachu and Kuwa since they were faster and had distance attacks. Naruko was also still brainstorming on how to show off Izanami's Poison Fang in a unique fashion. The blonde pauses in her thinking, and turns to Ash, " How would you show off Izanami's Poison Fang in an Appeals Round? "

With that Ash and Naruko were brainstorming together while the non-bug pokémon protected the bug types with them. Kuwa in particular did not want to find out what Shino would do if two of his pokémon were eaten on HER WATCH. Aburame were terrifying when they were pissed off. Kuwa and Naruko were some of the only ones outside of the Aburame Clan that could actually read their body language very well. Naruko would laugh her ass off when she found out what Shibi did during a Council Meeting, especially to protect her inheritance. Though once she reached Blue Point Isle in Johto a delegation of Uzumaki would make their way to Konoha, and put the Fear of Pissed off Uzumaki Females into the ignorant fools. Yes, all of them would be female, on the same schedule, and would enter Konoha during that time of the month. Inuzuka Tsume would laugh her ass off when she realized they did that deliberately.

Shino returned to find his friends still brainstorming ideas for using Poison Fang in a unique manner for the appeals round in Pewter City. The Aburame Heir had not realized that Ash happened to have the mind of a Coordinator and the soul of a Gym Battler. He was now wondering if Ash had actually helped Naruko with her pranks in Pallet Town. " Hey, bro, get your Pineco? " Naruko asks him when the brainstorming stops, and the pair decide to test out some of their ideas.

" I did, yes. " Shino admits, " I also found a few new bug species for my clan as well, and sealed them properly. "

Ash stretches as he stands up, " I'm gonna go hunt for some trainers to battle as practice. Poochyena, you can lead me back here, right? I have a horrible sense of direction. "

His Poochyena yips a confirmation to this question, " Let me know how the ideas work out, Naruko. " Ash adds as he hoists his backpack on. Pikachu settles on his right shoulder, he recalls Caterpie, Tentacool, Chinchou, and Magikarp while letting Poochyena stay out as well.

" Sure thing, Ash. " Naruko says, already gathering materials for Poison Fang appeals round ideas. She happened to be the Orange Demon Queen of Pranks, dattebane! If she couldn't come up with completely new ideas after watching several contests she wasn't trying hard enough! She knew she most likely wouldn't get Top Coordinator in Kanto, but she could aim for the top ten.

Kuwa was working on making her attacks beautiful and powerful while at the same time she was flying through the trees at top speed to work on her situational awareness. Raiu was working on his aim, and how quickly he could charge up his attacks. Once he realized his trainer happened to be an aspiring Coordinator he understood what he needed to do. Watching Kuwa gave him an even greater understanding, his trainer wasn't going to sacrifice power for beauty, no she was going to make damned sure she maintained both. Raiu could get behind that, and he also would hit Bōfū with attacks on occasion in order to help his comrade gain experience to actually get a usable attack. Splash was one of the most useless attacks in existence, right up there with Mudbray having Mud Sport in their learnset. What the Hell had Arceus been thinking with that one anyhow?

Bōfū understood the reasoning, and was just grateful his trainer had caught him, and would take the time to raise him up into a powerful Gyarados. Most beginning trainers ignored Magikarp, and most that started in Pallet Town never thought about going fishing either. Though he had started working on Bounce as well, if only to gain more experience. It sucked only having Splash until level fifteen when he would gain Tackle. He couldn't even learn anything through TM until he evolved! Though by working on Bounce he was also working on his Stamina, which was helpful.

Ash meanders his way through the forest, with the Kikaichu Shino left on him the Weedle evolutionary line would leave him alone. He had already battled Bug Catcher Mike, Bug Catcher Ted, Junior Trainer Herbert, and Lass Talia gaining his team experience, and earning him some Poké Dollars. He'd also found several TM's, some Potions, a few Nuggets, an Ether, and a Revive as well. There was also some battles with wild pokémon interspersed between his trainer battles too. He pauses when his Poochyena starts tugging on his right pants leg, and the pup indicates for his trainer to follow him. Poochyena had already promised he could lead Ash back to his friends, so the almost eleven year old follows immediately. His brown eyes widen in horror when he discovers just what had concerned his pup so much.

Laying on its side, its breathing labored, was a serpentine pokémon with a primarily yellow body, pink underside, and pink-and-cream-striped back. Its head is round with a wide mouth extending under its jowls and curving up toward the middle of its face. Its chin is pink with two rounded prongs. Its eyes—round and rimmed with pink—are kept closed, revealing its cream-colored eyelids. On this pokéon's upper back are two small, white, bird-like wings split into two sections each. Its body ends in a striped, drill-like tail. Ash could not believe he was looking at a shiny Dunsparce. He had never been more grateful for Naruko's ability in gambling as he grabs a Max Potion and uses it on Dunsparce. Then he gently picks up the Land Snake Pokémon, and looks at his Poochyena, " Let's head back, boy, and if we can avoid other trainers that would be good. "

Poochyena yips in understanding, and leads the way back to Naruko and Shino. The pair both raise their eyebrows when Ash, Pikachu, Poochyena, and Dunsparce arrive. Dunsparce was snuggling into Ash, and he calls out his Chinchou, " Hey, girl, would it offend you too much if I sent you to the Ranch for a little bit so I can keep Dunsparce with me? "

Chinchou listens to the explanation Poochyena gives, and looks her trainer in the eye before indicating she would not be offended in the slightest. " I'll bring you back after I beat Brock, you'll be useful in Cerulean City. " He returns her, and uses Dexter to send her to the Ranch before pulling out a Heal Ball to catch Dunsparce in. Dunsparce allows the capture, and Ash calls his newest pokémon back out, " Dunsparce, the Land Snake Pokémon. When discovered, the Dunsparce uses its tail to burrow into the earth and evade capture. This Dunsparce is female, has the egg move Headbutt, with the Ability of Serene Grace, and the Hidden Ability of Rattled. " Ash hits a few buttons, " Serene Grace boosts the 10% flinch chance due to King's Rock or Razor Fang to 20%. Rattled, when in battle, a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a Bug-, Dark-, or Ghost-type damaging move, its Speed is increased by one stage. No immunity is granted to these types of moves, however. If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a Bug-, Dark-, or Ghost-type multi-strike move such as Pin Missile, each hit activates this Ability. Rattled has no effect outside of battle however. "

Ash smiles as he looks down at his new Dunsparce, " I don't know what happened to you, but you are an awesome pokémon. "

Dunsparce chitters happily at this, and is content to remain on her new Trainer's lap. Nothing could bring her down now, he had saved her when her old trainer had abandoned her after she hatched as a Shiny pokémon here in the Forest. The native pokémon had been cruel to her, and yet her new trainer's Poochyena had led him right to her. She does start when small insects crawl over her, until she realizes her trainer is remaining calm, " Easy, girl, that's just Shino checking to make sure you don't have any infestations to worry about. " Ash soothes her.

Shino's allies destroy the infestation the Max Potion had missed with extreme prejudice. While his clan may work with insects, they would not tolerate any that caused harm like fleas, ticks, mites, worms, and the like. The Inuzuka Clan paid them very well to keep their partners, canine and pokémon free of such nonsense. " Ash, you can find pokémon by using Headbutt on trees. Once Dunsparce is up for it, she may be able to help you and Naruko out. I'd say give her a day, and if she's not ready to battle head back to Viridian City to get her treated. " Shino says.

Ash cocks his head to the side, " Sounds good. Up for a spar, Shino? Dunsparce, I'm a Shinobi in training. I don't just train my pokémon, I train myself as well. "

He passes her to Naruko, and Dunsparce settles in easily enough as the pokémon that were out ready themselves to watch the humans spar. Shino knew damned well his clan's weaknesses and was working to overcome them in any way he could. Sadly until they reached Fuschia City weapons were out of the question, but maybe once his Heracross hatched they would all have a new way to train.
