Chapter 47: Double Battle P3

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or Avatar the Last Air Bender, or Hades whom is Disney's version of him. I do own Kasumi along with most of her deck which is based off of Fire Emblem female characters and the four Titan Cards.

This was the semi-final round of the Double Battle Tournament. Right now the first two trainers that were in the first match of the Semi-Finals was Misty vs. Lance. Despite Misty being a Gym Leader, I knew Lance being a Champion would be the victor. He was too experienced when it came to Pokemon Battling. This was way too much for a Gym Leader to handle normally, sure Misty had Psyduck but it seemed to me as if Psyduck was only good when it has Psychic Attacks in. Lance's two Pokemon of choice were most likely Dragonite and Areodactle. I certainly knew that Misty would be the one to lose in this round, and Lance would advance to the Final Round. What it would come down to was if my strategy to use on Paul would work. Takara and Snowflake sat at my feet watching the battle.

"So who do you think is going to win this one?" Ash asked me.

"Lance" I answered "For one thing he's the Champion of Johto, which means he basically must know every inch of being a trainer. Misty is a Gym Leader which is as I've heard from Brock one step up from a normal starting off Pokemon Trainer, but compared to that Lance is at least twice as strong as she is."

Brock agreed "Misty will try her best but it won't end in the same way as her victory against May had."

May sighed "Psyduck beat me...I lost to her Psyduck."

"That's okay May" Max told her "Even Ash has lost to Misty's Psyduck once."

"It's Psychic Powers are incredible" Ash admitted "But will that be enough to beat Lance?"

"I don't think it will be" I answered truthfully.

"I'm with you" Hanabi agreed.

Takara turned to me "Vulpix, Vulpix, Vulpix!"

I knew what she was trying to say but Meowth translated for me "She's saying that we'll beat Paul for sure won't we?"

I pet Takara on the head smiling at her"As long as you and Snowflake remember what I trained you two for earlier we should be able to beat him. He'll give us a few problems and it may take a bit more firepower to bring him down but we'll beat him."

"Thing about Paul is" Brock warned me "He likes to try to find your Pokemon's weakness, Eletricvire will most certainly be one of his Pokemon but he'll most likely try to find one for Takara."

"Which he can't do" Max reminded Brock "The rules of this tournament forbid a Trainer to switch the two Pokemon he or she entered. So he's stuck with Urserang and Electricvire."

"Which is good for me" I admitted.

As the battle went down, I would be proven right. Misty's Gyardos and Psyduck even though they managed to beat May narrowly weren't able to overcome Lance's Dragonite, his Areodactle being part Rock Type, yeah well Misty's Gyarados and Lance's Areodactle, managed to KO each other with a Strong Aqua Tail from Gyarados and a Stone-Edge from Areodactle. The battle came down to Psyduck against Lance's Dragonite. I'll give Psyduck a bit of credit when it was due. That little duck was like a tank! Tanking attacks such as tanking three Outrage attacks. Turns out Outrage was like that, it was a move that allowed the attacker to attack 2 to three times in succession but confused the user afterward. By the third Outage Lance's Dragonite had triggered Misty's Psyduck to be able to use it's Psychic Power. Misty commanded Psyduck to use Disable which disabled Dragonite's Outrage. Despite Dragonite's confusion it was able to obey Lance's command and send a Hyper Beam at Psyduck! Somehow, her Psyduck managed to avoid a Hyper Beam but just barely. Misty knew that a Pokemon using Hyper Beam had to reach charge and called for Psyduck to unleash it's Psychic attack hoping for a victory. Sadly for her, Lance's Dragonite took the attack and stood up straight. Misty tries again with Psychic attack but Lance commanded Dragonite to take the attack and then unleash it's Draco Meteor! Once more Lance's Dragonite tanked the Psychic Attack and unleashed it's Draco Meteor! The moment Dragonite unleashed the meteors, Misty's Psyduck runs around shouting "PSYPSYPSYPSYPSY!"

Amazingly it had nearly avoided all of the meteors doing that much to Lance's disbelief then one fell right directly on Psyduck's head as if it were me using a Psychic Waza on someone. Despite Psyduck's incredible strength and tanking abilities, it wasn't able to overcome a Draco Meteor even when one of the meteors hit and fainted.

Professor Birch raised the flag and announced the results "Psyduck is unable to Battle! Lance wins the first Semi-Final Battle of this tournament and moves onto the final round."

Misty sighs walking over to Psyduck "Psyduck! Are you okay?"

"Psy?" the Pokemon asked dazed and confused in it's normal nature.

She shook Lance's hand "Well looks like I've been beaten, and you get to move on."

Lance nodded "Indeed."

"You tried Misty" Ash told her.

Misty nodded then smirked at Ash "Yes, I did try! At least I got further than you Ash Ketchum!"

"HEY! YOU'D LOSE TO LADY KASUMI TOO MISTY! Her think ninja strategy would work on any opponent!" Ash shouted at her.

I gave out a slight chuckle now seeing what Brock meant, one day during the course of this adventure in this world Brock had told me that Misty and Ash simply seemed to argue everyday. Back then Brock managed to tell me that Misty and Ash argued as if they were a couple. Back then I didn't get it fully but now I understood him. Boy those two certainly did like to argue. Before they could continue arguing I got in between them with Brock at my side to help "You know you two...They say the more one argues with each other the more they start to love each other."

"ME IN LOVE WITH HIM/HER?" Misty and Ash shouted then they turned their backs to each other "NO WAY!"

With that said Professor Rowan then spoke "Now the second match of the Semi-Final round will begin. On one side, it's Lady Kasumi with her two set of Vulpixes as her two Pokemon!"

I walked down calmly onto the field mentioning for Takara to stay at near my legs, no need to rush the battle. After all as the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. As I'm walking down Ash calls down to me "GO LADY KASUMI! You can do it!"

I gave out a slight giggle waving back knowing I could. It was all a matter of time to see if my training I gave both Takara and Snowflake paid off. Now Takara would still be a problem for Paul to handle as he probably didn't have any solution to her speed, but I was willing to be even Snowflake would take him by surprise. As I am waiting for Paul's name to be called both Snowflake and Takara were at my side ready to commence with Takara more eager to pounce and I pet her on the head "Easy Takara...Slow and steady now...Think of Kakashi-Papa."

"Vulpix?" Snowflake inquired confused not knowing who I was talking about but Takara knew and she shook her head and spoke "Vulpix!"

"Put Pokemon Trainer version of Sasuke in his place" Toph called down to me.

I giggled waving to her "I plan to Toph!"

Brock sat in the stands "I wonder how she plans to defeat Paul and get past his Protect attack?"

"We're about to find out" Lance admitted to him.

"Lady Kasumi doesn't train for nothing now" Haku told the two "She must have an idea."

"She does" Hanabi said.

Aang agreed "It's a good one! Hanabi and I helped to train those two Vulpixes!"

"Battling against Kasumi is Paul!" Professor Rowan announced.

I watched as Paul walked down towards me with a smirk on his face "Ready to lose it all?"

Takara nearly lunged at him but I spoke "Heel Takara!"

She listens to me and sits at my legs ready for my command. I looked at Paul "Paul, it is you that is going to lose. Power isn't everything. It's how you treat you Pokemon that counts. I intend to show you that your lust for powerful Pokemon will only get you so far."

"So?!" Paul said "Power is everything! If you don't have power you'll never get far in life...After all I've beaten Ash nearly every time we battled and he has the same mindset at you."

I did see his point in that last one but only to a certain degree and that degree only was to when it came to the mindset and not as a ninja "True you've beaten Ash countless times, but that doesn't take from the fact he's a good trainer. Great Trainers care for their Pokemon and treat them as if they are equals and friends. Plus you haven't fully fought a ninja's Pokemon! And that'll be your ultimate problem!"

Paul smirked "I look forward into seeing that hope and bonds in your Pokemon fail you! Just as it does to Ash! Even if you are a ninja so called bonds are meaningless!"

I watched disappointed that nothing I said was going to get into his head at least not verbably "Fine, if it takes me to beat you in a Battle then so be it. If only my Kakashi-Papa could hear you say that about bonds...Oh he'd probably give you a lecture before killing you and if my adopted older brother heard you say that-" I smirked "He'd probably say this 'I'll teach you to call bonds meaningless! I'll beat you senseless until you crack believe it!'"

I looked at Paul whom looked a bit troubled that I brought two other ninjas names up that most likely knew the truth of my words when it came to bonds. I continued "Then my older brother would proceed to beat you down until I or Shikamaru stops him from doing so with Shadow Possession Jutus, or Kakashi-Papa comes to stop Naruto from hurting you."

Paul took out two Pokeballs "Then why don't you put your words to good use Lady Signer? Userang, Electrivire, Standby for Battle!"

Eletricvire and Userang appear ready for battle "Electrivire!" "Userang!"

"Then I will" I told him "Snowflake, Takara it's time! Go in there!"

"VULPIX!" the two Vulpixes shouted leaping into action.

Professor Birch then announced the match "The second battle of the Semi-Finals is underway! Lady Kasumi with her two Vulpixes will be battling against Paul's Electrivire and Userang! Battle begin!"

"Steady girls" I reminded the Vulpixes "Let the enemy make the first move."

"Bad suggestion!" Paul said hearing me warn my Pokemon to let my opponent make the first move " Electrivire Use Thunder Bolt! Userang use Slash!"

Electrivire unleashed it's electrical attack at Takara, as Userang charges Snowflake claws ready to swipe at her. I smiled as Takara took command next communicating with loud bark "VULPIX!"

Snowflake nodded then followed Takara's command and just as the Thunder Bolt connected the two performed a marvelous Backflip avoiding the attacks.

"WHAT THE HECK?!" Paul asked "But Thunderbolt has one hundred percent accuracy! It should've hit!"

I looked at him "Normally Thunder Bolt would hit with one hundred percent accuracy! However Takara noticed that if she moved even slightly out of the Thunder Bolt's aim and time it nicely it can miss! Remember you aren't just fighting a normal trainer's Vulpixes you're fighting a ninja's Vulpixes. Userang however kept on trying to slash Snowflake with Slash attack but she kept on moving in and out and Takara barked a sharp bark and I nodded "Good idea! Both of you go for a Quick-Attack on Userang!"

Snowflake nodded and she and Takara charges forward with Paul growling "Userang! Wait till they get in range then Slash them!"

Userang stood on it's two legs like all bears would do in real life as my two pets charge forward with a rapid fast speed. It raised it's claws then at the last second or what it thought was the last second it Slashes out at my pets! Takara shows exactly what to do in the situation and the baby Vulpix follows suit, both roll underneath the Slash Attack making it miss then both seemed to jump high ramming their heads onto Userang's chin!

"Good suggestion to the attack Takara!" I told Takara as the force of the Quick-Attack jump sent Userang flying and landing on Electrivire.

Paul frowned "So that's how it's gonna be hugh?"

I then took my chance "Alright Snowflake use Double Team to give Takara room, Takara go for another Quick Attack this time at Electrivire!"

Takara nodded charging forward while Snowflake produced copies of herself. Paul then spoke "Not falling for that as Ash did, Userang, use Swift to blow away the Double Team! Then Electrivire, use Discharge!"

Userang nodded getting off of Electrivire then unleashed a volley of sharp shooting stars at Snowflake and her clones. I was suddenly reminded by my brother's Shadow Clones running as Naruto and his clones would run into attacks thinking at least one would get through and remembering this made me smile as I would pull off a Naruto style attack "Keep up the Double Team Snowflake and charge forward!"

Snowflake charges forward nodding producing more copies of herself just in time for Electrivire unleashed it's Discharge! Just as Takara seemed to be on a course to hit Electrivire with her Quick-Attack a copy of Snowflake intercepted the attack saving her and Takara saw her chance then breathes fire around herself as she charges forward as if I was using Volcanic Fang Over Fang, I smiled thinking Good girl! That's certainly something they never seen for my think ninja strategy

The maneover worked exactly like Takara hoped it would. Thanks to Snowflake's Double Team her attack strikes Electrivire unprepared for it burning it and sending it flying.

"WHAT THE HECK?!" Paul asked "What attack was that?! That wasn't Quick Attack or Flamethrower!"

In his confusion Snowflake actually followed suit for it's battle for Userang she charges forward and breathes ice around herself spinning like Takara did and it strikes Userang unprepared while waiting for it's owner's orders. Userang howls as it and Electrivire are sent back.

"Now Snowflake did an Ice Version of that attack!" Paul said "What attacks were those?"

I answered him "Oh, Takara performed what I call a Flaming Quick Spin Attack and Snowflake followed suit with Ice Quick Spin Attack. Useful for a jutsu I made up known as Volcanic Fang over Fang."

He looks at me as I spoke "Ninjas aren't always straight forward Paul with their attacks, during certain missions one may have to improvise on their jutsus to figure out a good way. After all part of a ninja's training is to always keep your opponent guessing what he or she is planning. Takara knew it and Snowflake's just beginning to follow suit."

"I won't be beaten that easily by some made up attack!" Paul said.

"You just might be" I warned "For I know that you'd be ready for most of my attacks so Takara, and Snowflake will have to think creatively to keep you guessing."

Paul looked to see if this wasn't in the rule book but Professor Rowan announced it "There's no rule that says improvised attacks and thinking aren't allowed Paul. After all I seem to remember Ash invented what he calls the Ice Aqua Jet attack in one of his Gym Battles."

I now had Paul where I wanted him flustered! With my Vulpixes heeding my words of advise and both Vulpixes thinking ahead for their next big ploy of defense or attack, this literally meant my Pokemon were free to do whatever they wanted and he wouldn't know which attacks was coming his way.

Paul then spoke "Even so we shall not be beaten! Electrivire, Userang rise! Let's show those two Vulpixes that you aren't easily beaten!"

The two Pokemon rose and I could see Electrivire's burn deducted it's physical attack. I knew Electrivire had Brick Break which was super-effective on Snowflake but I had a plan to use Attract on Electrivire and for it to work. I nodded towards Takara "Takara! Distract Userang! Snowflake, get ready to handle Electrivire!"

Takara nodded rushing forward Userang with Paul smirking "Not your best move! Userang use Trash on Takara and don't let up until you get an attack in!"

Userang nodded rushing forward going to attack Takara and I smiled nodding towards her knowing that all she had to do was distract it and not attack it just yet. Takara nods giggling as she rushes forward. Userang raises a claw trying to start is Trash attack on her but she cleverly rolled underneath the claw and seemed to tease it as she got towards it's back "Vulpix!"

Userang roared and tries again but again she dodges by rolling.

"WHAT IS TAKARA DOING?!" Ash asked.

Haku smiled "Standard Ninja mental mind games without Genjutsu needed. Takara is following Lady Kasumi's orders in distracting Userang's attention. Even Takara knows getting hit by Trash isn't a good thing so she's thinking outside the box, a distraction can be used by rolling and getting into your opponent's head that way you are always one step ahead of your opponent and remain in control."

Brock understood it "So there was more to Kasumi's think ninja strategy that just using your attacks like she did with Ash."

Hanabi nodded "Yes, ninjas may do that with their attacks but we also require clever distractions at times. Lady Kasumi knows Takara's and Snowflake's latest attacks they used and hit Paul's team with got him flustered. He doesn't know what moves Kasumi is going to order next, then tie up distracting an opponent. Then you get even more flustered...When one's flustered you don't tend to think straight."

Ash shivered a bit "Man...Lady Kasumi's scary!"

"True there" Lance admitted "She'll make one heck of a Gym Leader...No even Champion! She'd probably even beat me in the finals as even though I'm way more experienced there is several options her strategy pulls off...For that matter, we now know Snowflake is an Ice Type which is good against Dragons."

Paul watches Userang closely litterally speechless as Takara was successfully distracting Userang then Paul turned to see Snowflake using Quick-Attack running towards Electrivire "Big Mistake! Electrivire, Protect!"

I smiled hearing this "Snowflake and I were prepared for that move!"

"What?!" Paul demanded.

I turned towards Snowflake giving her a silent nod as in saying to her time to put your training into full power. She giggled nodding. Electrivire produced a barrier that would protect it from Snowflake's charge, I knew he planned to use Brick Break once she slammed into it but due to our training we had, Snowflake put on the breaks and stopped on a dime.

"WHAT THE?" Paul asked "What now?!"

I answered smiling "Snowflake now's your chance! Use Attract!"

Snowflake nodded and unleashed her Attract Attack. Since Paul used Protect to try to stop Snowflake's Quick Attack and at the distance she was towards Electrivire which wasn't too far in fact they were just about two to five inches from touching each other, she unleashed her Attract move. At the distance it was bound to hit.

"OH-NO THAT WAS!" Paul said.

I nodded "That was Attract! And now your Electrivire is in love with Snowflake and you know what that means!"

Paul did know "Now it may not even attack!"

I nodded and winked at Takara to unleash her Confuse Ray. Takara nodded avoiding Userang's next Trash attack with ease by back flipping then unleashed her Confuse Ray at it.

"NO!" Paul shouted "Not Confuse Ray!"

"Oh yes" I told him "It was Confuse Ray."

I then nodded towards Takara "Now Snowflake get behind Electrivire then once then both you and Takara will use Quick-Attack on them!"

Paul watches as Snowflake managed to get behind Electrivire and Takara gets ready for a Quick-Attack "Come on you two Snap out of it! Userang use Hammer Arm to swat Takara away! Electrivire, use Brick Break! On Snowflake!"

The two Pokemon try by Electrivire is too inflated with love to move and Userang while it was Confused hit itself. This was enough time for both Takara and Snowflake to use Quick Attack hitting their heads into the chests of their foes. The force of the blow sent Electrivire and Userang spiraling out of control slamming into each other.

"Now that I have your Pokemon where I want them" I said "Time to finish this girls! Snowflake use Ice Beam! Takara...Flamethrower!"

Paul tries to break his Pokemon out of their stats by shouting "Electrivire! Userang snap out of it! I know you two can!"

Snowflake opened her mouth as Takara did with hers then both Vulpixes shouted "VVVUUULLLPPPIIIXXX!"

Snowflake gathered in the biggest amount of Ice she could put into her little mouth while Takara did the same with her fire. Then they breathed out a HUGE ice beam almost as if it were shot out of a giant Star Trek Phaser.

Electrivire is struck by Ice on it's front while Userang was burnt on it's front thanks to Takara's Flamethrower. Then the attack washes over both of Paul's Pokemon burning on one end and then literally freezing them on the other. This went on till an Explosion appeared.

Paul watches hoping to have another chance to attack me but as the dust settled we both saw Electrivire and Userang standing up.

"Good you're still standing!" Paul told his two Pokemon "Now..."

It is then the two Pokemon fall over swirls in their eyes and hitting the ground with a Thud!

Professor Birch raised a flag "Both Electrivire and Userang are unable to battle! Victory goes to Lady Kasumi!"

"Way to go Lady Kasumi!" Ash shouted from the stands.

All around the stands all trainers raised their hands shouting my name and the onlookers began a round of applause for me.

"Vulpix!" Takara and Snowflake said to me running towards me.

I laughed scooping each of them up "Yes, that's right girls we are the winners! Good work girls! Training paid off!"

The two Vulpixes were licking my neck happily. Paul turned to his Pokemon shocked he had lost so badly, nearly like Ash. In fact he didn't even land one blow on mine ether. On one side he was truly angry at the loss but he spoke "We didn't win today because our opponents were thinking like a ninja and even though I've trained you to counter that we couldn't pull it off."

He returned his two Pokemon looking at me "You won..."

I turned to him as Hanabi and Haku sensing hostility leaped at my side. Haku then spoke for me "Indeed she won. And do you know why she did?"

"Because she was cheep and wouldn't fight fair!"

Hanabi answered "It wasn't that. The battle was very fair. However you couldn't fully adapt to the Lady Signer. Plus Lady Kasumi's bond with her Pokemon make her a better person, her Pokemon to her are her pets members of her family and friends. Until you learn that power isn't everything, you won't ever be able to beat Lady Kasumi."

Paul looked at her "How would you know?!"

Hanabi looked at him back "I'm her best friend for one thing! 2nd Bonds help us ninjas in battle! In fact when most ninjas of Konoha go on missions we are often sent in a squad and we act as a team! It grows our bonds and as the Third Hokage once said 'Fighting for yourself won't ever get you very far in life, it's only when one realizes the bonds he or she has that one can truly accomplish anything."

"I recall an Anbu telling me those were the Third Hokage's exacts words more or less to Orochimaru...Before he was killed" I muttered silently.

Paul frowned listening "Oh please! Bonds can't help one grow stronger! Strength is everything!"

I looked at him shaking my head in the process "You can't understand that at all. Maybe you're tough enough to beat Ash but against me and my two Vulpixes you'll never beat them. Even if it was a mere one-on-one battle. I trust my Pokemon and they trust me."

"Yeah well, you're going onto face Lance" Paul told me "And he's going to be the one to easily bet you. He's the Champion of Johto."

"We'll see if I can beat Lance" I told Paul "But,"

Suddenly multiple explosions occurred shaking the area.

"What's going on?!" Professor Rowan asked.

I watch as sound ninja started to invade "Sound Ninja!"

"FIRE NATION!" Toph announced hearing the sound of a machine coming into view.

Paul was about to leave when he was struck in his shoulder by a bolt of lightning. He fell to the ground clutching his teeth "What hit me?"

"I did" Princess Azula declared.

I turned to see Princess Azula herself and the Fire Nation Princess was smirking "Looks like Orochimaru was right...You managed to save this world from Marik the Third."

"You knew about it?!" I demanded.

"Yes, indeed" Azula said "Honestly how do you think you got here, Orochimaru knows about different dimensions and it was him that brought Marik the Third here to build a Rare Hunter Army...But Orochimaru didn't expect you to win"

She took the mike from Professor Rowan "SORRY TRAINERS BUT NO MORE DOUBLE BATTLE TOURNAMENT! THAT IS THE LAW OF THE FIRE NATION!"

"Fire Nation?!" was the response of the Pokemon Trainers

"That's right" Princess Azula declared "This region is going to be in full control of the Fire Nation! My Nation. You'll all swear allegiance to me!"

She grinned as Fire Nation Soldiers began holding the Professors prisoners "And we'll start by taking your Professors!"

Haku thought fast and Water Bended getting her attention "No you won't!"

Aang rushes forward and Air Bended the attackers backward. Toph Earth Bended a rock boulder at two Fire Nation Soldiers striking them in the head. They fall stunned and I quickly began attacking Sound Ninjas with my Gentle Fist taking them down. Hanabi was with me helping jabbing "Lady Kasumi, there's too many of them!"

I activated my Psychic Powers in their Prime Statem seeing more Fire Nation Machines coming into play "Too right plus more of those machines are on their way here!"

"I count one hundred Fire Nation Soldiers and Fire Benders coming the backway!" Hanabi reported Byucugan on.

I grit my teeth as I should've known Marik the Third was somehow connected to Orochimaru somehow, why else would Orochimaru send me to this world? It all made sense now he meant for Marik the Third to kill me! "Ash, Brock, Dawn, Lance, May, Max, and Misty?" I inquired.

"They are safe!" Haku reported having rescued Professor Oak and Professor Birch "Plus Team Signer is also helping escorting people out of here!"

I turned to see that this was true. Hanabi put a hand on Paul's shoulder "Let go!" Paul ordered.

"Hey you've been injured by Azula!" Hanabi told him "I'm here to help you get to safety before we get overwhelmed!"

Paul blinked looking in her eyes "What's with your eyes?"

"I'll explain later!" Hanabi said "Now allow Aang!"

Aang appeared at her side instantly "yes?"

"Begin taking our friends and Paul to safety...Get Team Signer to join you on the retreat!"

"Right!" Aang said.

Azula tried to take Aang by surprise with her blue Fire Bending but I intercepted her with a Rock boulder. She turned towards me hands glittering with fire "Lucky me, I get to kill the Lady Signer!"

"Vulpix!" Takara and Snowflake shouted coming at my side.

"You'll try 'Princess'" I told Azula.

She sent lightning at me but I dodged by ducking and with my Psychic Powers in their prime State sent her flying backwards. She gets back up and kicks out at me. I barely dodged her blue flames from the kick. I charge her attempting to use the Gentle Fist to slow her down so I could stop her from using her Bending skills for a while. She punches out at me twice in rapid session. I duck and saw her punch at me for a third time. This time it seemed like it was going to hit me but Takara leaps forward absorbing it without injury then breathed a Flamethrower attack at her. She dodges as Snowflake now takes her by surprise by using Ice Beam freezing Azula's feet.

"YOU LITTLE BABY FOX!" Azula shouted angrily gaining in Fire In one hand "I'll teach you to freeze me!"

I watch as she fire Bends at the baby Vulpix and I dove for her shielding her with my body.

"You okay Snowflake?" I asked.

"Vulpix!" Snowflake said.

I watch as Azula gets ready to strike me with lightning. I knew the moment I was going to get up she'd get me with her lightning bending right in the heart too. Oh she was counting on it smirking "Go ahead lady Signer stand up so I can end your life."

I growled preparing to use Shadow Possession Jutsu to get her but was a little too slow getting up she began making movement when "PIIIKKKAAACCCHHHUUU!"

Ash's Pikachu came out of no where unleashing his Thunderbolt on her. Azula wasn't expecting it and screams in pain as Pikachu shocks her.

"Good work buddy!" Ash told his Pikachu.

Ash turned to me "Lady Kasumi now's your chance to get away to safety with me!"

"Thanks Ash!" I said to him "You just saved my life right then!"

Azula gets up trying to get up when Ash commanded Pikachu "Pikachu Iron Tail her!"

"PIKA!" Pikachu shouted gathering steel in it's tail then it slapped it on Azula's head before she could get up.

She growls nailing Pikachu with a nicely timed Fire Bended punch. Pikachu goes flying but Ash catches it. I slowly grabbed my pets and then nail Azula in her stomach with my Gentle Fist. She growls as Fire Nation Soldiers appear to come to her aide with Sound Ninja coming my way too. I began to go into a retreat with her eying me "This game isn't over yet Lady Signer! If you want to return to your world and time...You're going to have to save this world again...This time from the Fire Nation and Sound ninja lead by me!"

I tear off with Ash at my side with Azula smiling "Because now the Fire NATION CONTROLS ALL OF SHINOH! GOOD LUCK AT SAVING THIS PLACE!"

Once in the clear in the forests, Ash and I saw Haku waiting for me "Lady Kasumi are you okay?!"

"I've had better days" I answered.

I looked around the area, sure enough Ash, Brock, Dawn, Lance, May, Max, and Misty were with Aang, Hanabi, Haku, Team Signer which was Jessie, James, and Meowth. With the group was Paul whom Haku was trying his best to act like Katara using his Water Bending to heal him "I'm not like Katara but this should make due for now."

Professor Oak and Professor Birch were the only Professors we managed to rescue.

"What the heck was that about?" Professor Oak asked me.

I shrugged "Not sure. But it appears Orochimaru thought of this even more through."

"Which is bad" Haku reported seeing Fire Nation Machines start taking over towns and cities "Because the Fire Nation is wasting no time in naming this place there's."

"This is bad" I muttered "No Kakashi-Papa, or Iruka-Sensei to help us...Sound ninja and Fire Nation conquering this dimension as well."

"There's one way to save this world!" Ash reminded me.

I nodded "That's right, and it's to defeat Azula's forces..."

"Hate to break it to you" Aang said "But the only ones that can fight against them are you, me, Hanabi, Haku and Toph. That might not be enough to defeat Azula."

"But we must" I told him.

He agreed "Yes, that we do."

Ash stood up determined to help "Well Lady Kasumi, don't worry for I'll help you! Fire Nation is conquering all of Shinoh? I can't allow that to happen! For all I know they'll cancel the Pokemon League!"

"And most likely eradicate all none Fire Type Pokemon" Haku said.

"THEY'LL KILL ALL THE POKEMON EXCEPT FIRE TYPES?" Misty asked.

Haku nodded "That they will, or they'll try to."

"WHY?" Misty demanded.

Aang answered "It's what the Fire Nation does...Where I come from there are four elements that can be bended, Air, Water, Earth and Fire each having a civilization...The Fire Nation at one point destroyed my people the Air Nomads all because they weren't Fire Benders!"

"They also hunted down Katara's and Sokka's mother killing her because she wasn't a Fire Bender" Haku added on "Fire Nation only sees Fire Types or Fire Bending as the best Element and everything else is inferior to that."

"We can't let that happen!" May said.

"What can we do though?" Max asked "Aang's right we don't have any battle experience against foes that need to be beaten that way, only Lady Kasumi, Aang, Haku, Hanabi and Toph know what they are up against...Even if we fight alongside them we can't do much."

"Don't forget" Meowth said "You have us Team Signer! We can set up traps and plans."

"We're going to need that help" I admitted then gulped "Plus much more...We need an army."

"AN ARMY!" a voice asked that sounded like my brother Naruto.

"Naruto?!" I asked "Is that you!"

"Yes it is sis!" came the voice.

"WHERE ARE YOU?!" I demanded glad to hear it.

"SOKKA AND I ARE BEING CHASED BY GIANT BEES!"

We turned to see Naruto and Sokka running for their lives with a swarm of Beedrills chasing them.

"THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO THROW THAT ROCK UP IN THAT TREE SOKKA! ALL BECAUSE OF AN APPLE YOU WERE TRYING TO GET DOWN" Naruto berated him.

"WELL SORRY!" Sokka shouted back "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW GIANT BEES LIVE IN THE TREES HERE?"

I turned to Takara as Ash held out a Pokeball "Infernape I choose you!"

Ash threw the Pokeball and a monkey appeared.

Takara was at it's side and I nodded towards it allowing it to attack the bees.

Ash then shouted "Infernape, use Flamethrower!"

"You use Flamethrower too Takara!" I ordered.

Both Vulpix and Infernape step forward and launched their Flamethrower attack. The attack hits and defeats the Beedrill. Both Naruto and Sokka collapse at our feet.

"Thank goodness!" Sokka said "I thought Naruto and I were gonners!"

"Indeed!" Naruto said.

He then looked at me "Kasumi!"

"Big brother Naruto!" I shouted happily "You're here!
"And so am I!" Sokka said he turned to the group "Uh hello there, I'm Sokka and while I reconized Aang, Lady Kasumi, Hanabi and Haku...I don't recognize any of you."

I looked at them knowing that with Naruto we might have a chance "You two wouldn't know if Kakashi is with you two do you?"

Kakashi-Papa's voice answered as he appeared last "Oh I'm here Kasumi dear, but Iruka and Katara aren't."

"Kakashi-Papa!" I shouted turning to see Kakashi.

All of the Pokemon Trainer's eyes turned to see Kakashi-Papa. With Ash speaking out and whispered to me "That's your Kakashi-Papa? I thought he'd look older."

Naruto heard this somehow and burst out laughing as Kakashi-Papa simply sneaked behind Ash saying "Didn't you know looks can be deceiving? Plus never judge a book by it's cover."

Ash blinked then turned towards Kakashi-Papa and screamed a bit with surprise at how sneakily Kakashi had done that. Heck his Pikachu nearly shocked Kakashi-Papa but it didn't.

Naruto hugged me "Thank goodness you're safe sis! So what happened?"

I looked at Haku whom nodded "Thank goodness you Sokka, and Kakashi-Sensei are here! We need all the help after all."

"What's going on?" Kakashi-Papa asked hearing the seriousness of our voices.

I looked at them "It's a long story but...We do need all the help we can get...Come on team...Let's explain what happened. Haku! Stand on look out we got to be ready to act if the Fire Nation appears for trouble."

"Got it!" was the response from Haku, he and his Sneasil left to watch over the area.

While this was happening Ash, Brock, Dawn, Hanabi, Lance, May, Max, Misty, PaulToph, along with the two Professors we saved and I sat down to tell Naruto, Sokka, and Kakashi-Papa what was happening hoping we can in fact save Shinoh once and for all. I had a feeling that with Kakashi-Papa we could.
