Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Naruto and May encountering Team Magma once again before arriving on the Rustboro Contest Hall where May will get to see a Pokémon Contest and decide to become a Coordinator. So, without further ado.
I own nothing

"Treecko use Bullet Seed!" Said Naruto, as Treecko jumping into the air.
"Treec…ko, ko, ko, ko!" Treecko launched a barrage of Bullet Seeds at Torchic.
"Quick Torchic, dodge and use Attract!" Said May.
"Torchic!" Torchic jumped to side as the Bullet Seeds impacted the ground, before winking at Treecko, sending pink hearts flew at the Woof Gecko Pokémon, causing his eyes to be replaced with hearts.
"Treecko!" Treecko looked at Torchic with a lovestruck expression, thanks to Attract.
"Now Torchic use Will-O-Wisp, followed by Peck!" May said, with Torchic nodding and launching a blue fireball at Treecko.
"Treecko dodge!" Naruto called out.
Unfortunately, Treecko ignored his trainers command, still under the effect of Attract, and was hit by the fireball, which left a noticeable burn on his side. Torchic then charged forward and pecked Treecko numerous times, launching him back into a tree.
"Tre-Treecko." Treecko hit the ground with his swirls in his eyes.
"Treecko return." Said Naruto, returning Treecko to his Pokéball, before looking to May, who was holding Torchic and cheering.
"Yes, yes, we did it! We won!" May cheered happy that she had won the Pokémon Battle, even if it was just a practice one.
"Congrats May, you and Torchic both did really great. So, how's it does it feel to have your first victory in a Pokémon Battle?" Naruto asked, while smiling at his friend, who smiled back at him.
"It was great!" May answered.
"I bet we could have done even better, right Shroomish." Max said off to the side, while tending to Shroomish, having looked up the best ways to take care of a Shroomish.
"Shroomish." Shroomish nodded in agreement.
"But I also I couldn't have gotten this far, without such a great teacher." Said May, knowing that without Naruto's help, she wouldn't have managed to get Torchic as strong as she is now; along with teaching her Attract, Will-O-Wisp and Peck.
Then to Naruto's surprise, May suddenly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, making the blonde trainer blush slightly.
"Wh-what was that for?" Naruto asked, confused by the gesture.
"Just for all the help you've given me." Replied May, while smiling cheekily.
"Hey! Can you two stop flirting now, so we can get back to traveling to Rustboro City!" Max said, while returning Shroomish to its Pokéball, while smirking as both Naruto and May blushed at his words.
"We're not flirting!" Naruto and May shouted, the latter walking towards her brother with a warning look in her eyes, while Naruto paused for a moment in thought.
'We aren't flirting…right?' Naruto wondered, not really sure if May was flirting with him or not, especially with the shopping spree she took him along back in Rinshin Town.
Of course, thinking about that made Naruto blush brightly, as he remembered all the bikinis May tried on and wanted his opinion on, with the brunette ending getting all of them. The thought of seeing May wearing said bikinis, while swimming, made Naruto's blush only intensify.
'Kami damn hormones!' Naruto mentally cursed, as he worked to banish those thoughts.
But he knew one thing for sure, he's definitely going to spending a lot of time swimming in the pool, river, lake, or ocean that they're visiting, whenever they do go swimming. Since he's definitely going to need to spend a lot of time in the cold water, with the different swimsuits that May will be wearing at them.
"Max, I'm warning you, do not say another word!" May hissed quietly, while giving her brother a warning look.
"Ah, take it easy sis, I'm just messing with you. Though I can't wait to tell mom and dad about your boyfriend." Max teased, with May blushing in both anger, and at the idea of Naruto being her boyfriend.
"Don't you dare! You know how they'll react!" Said May, knowing what would happen if their parents found out that she likes Naruto.
While their mom wouldn't have a problem with it, their dad on the other hand…
This made Max pause for a moment, before turning deathly pale, as he imagine their dad with a flaming aura, demonic red eyes, and some of his strongest Pokémon ready to destroy any boy after his "little girl". Along with Max himself, for not saying anything sooner.
"Yeah, okay, I won't say anything!" Said Max quickly.
"But you do know that you'll have to tell them eventually. That is if you do decide to tell Naruto how you feel." Max reminded.
"I know. I'm just waiting until they get the chance to get to know Naruto more, so dad doesn't end up attacking him." Said May, knowing she will have to tell her parents eventually, but hopefully after they get to know Naruto more.
"Hey guys, lunch is ready!" Naruto said, after the Clone he had make lunch dispelled itself.
Nodding, the trio went back to their campsite, and saw their lunch was ready, along with their Pokémon's food already set out. Letting out their Pokémon, they all sat down and started eating, while making small talk with each other.
Though Treecko had a noticeable look of annoyance on his face, annoyed at Torchic defeating him. But he also couldn't stay mad, as it did show that Torchic was improving, and it just meant that Treecko had to train harder, so that next time, he will win.
After some time, they all had finished eating, before Max pulled out his PokéNav, to see how much further it was, until they reached Rustboro City.
"Good news guys, we're just a couple days away from reaching Rustboro Hall After that, it'll just be one more portion of the forest that we'll have to get through." Max said.
"Really?! Awesome, let's get moving!" Naruto said, excited that they were nearly to Rustboro City.
Nodding in agreement, the three returned their Pokémon and packed up their stuff, before heading out. However, after a few hours of walking, they came upon a man holding a briefcase and looking around, as if he was searching for something. Though when he spotted them, the man walked over.
"Excuse me, would any of you happen to be Pokémon Trainers?" He asked, with Naruto and May nodding.
"Yeah, we are. Are you looking to battle?" Naruto asked, only for the man to chuckle sheepishly.
"Oh no, I'm not a trainer myself, I'm just a scientist for the Devon Corporation. I was just wondering, if any of you know where I might find a Shroomish? It's my favorite Pokémon, and I was really hoping to find one. Unfortunately, I haven't had much lucky." Said the Devon Scientist.
"Oh. Well if you're looking for a Shroomish, here you go." Max said, sending out his Shroomish.
"Shroomish." Shroomish looked around, wondering why it was called out, only for the scientist to suddenly to crouch down and smile at it.
"My goodness, a real Shroomish! Thank you, you three!" Said the scientist, happy that he was getting to see his favorite Pokémon in person.
"Glad we could help. By the way, I'm Naruto, and this is May and Max." Naruto introduced.
Before the scientist could introduce himself, they were interrupted by two figures jumped out of the bushes, both of them wearing familiar red uniforms.
"You there! Scientist, hand over those Research Papers, now!" Said one of them, looking at the scientist, who stumbled back in shock and fear at these strangers' appearance and their demands.
Meanwhile, Naruto narrowed his eyes when he saw these guys were wearing the same uniforms as those guys back in Oldale Town, and now here were two more members. While Naruto still didn't know who these guys were, he knew they obviously weren't good news.
"Hey! I don't know who you think you are, but I'm not letting you take anything!" Naruto said, stepping forward while glaring at the two.
"Yeah." Said May, moving to stand beside Naruto, also recognizing the uniforms the two were wearing.
"Tsk, damn brats. Fine, we'll just take you both down first. Go Poochyena!" Said the first Grunt, releasing a Poochyena, with the second one also releasing a different Pokémon.
Poochyena is a quadruped Pokémon, similar in appearance to hyenas and canines. Its body is primarily gray with a black face and throat, paws, and belly. Its eyes are red with yellow sclerae, and it has a red nose. Its lower jaw has two pointed teeth sticking out. The fur at the base of its tail is rumpled and shaggy. Poochyena also has gray paw pads on its three-toed paws.
The second Pokémon is a quadruped, canine Pokémon. It has orange fur, with black stripes along its back and legs. The fur on its muzzle, chest, belly, and tail is beige, as well as an additional tuft of fur on top of its head. It's coat is noticeably longer on its chest and tail. It has gray eyes, a black nose, and large, round ears with beige interiors. Its forepaws have two visible claws, while its hind paws have three toes, each. Each paw has a brown pad.
"Poochyena. And what's that one?" Naruto muttered, while he and May pulled out their Pokédexes, scanning them.
"Poochyena, the Bite Pokémon. Poochyena is the pre-evolved form of Mightyena. Its biting strength is superior to other Pokémon, and has the endurance to chase opponents down, until completely exhausted."
"Growlithe, a Puppy Pokémon of pleasant demeanor and great diligence. It drives enemies away with barks and bites."
"Okay, let's go Ralts!" Said Naruto, sending out Ralts.
"You to Torchic!" May said, releasing Torchic.
"Ralts use Psybeam on Growlithe!" Naruto commanded, with Ralts nodding and firing a Psybeam.
"Torchic, use Will-O-Wisp on Poochyena." Said May.
"Torchic!" Torchic fired the blue fireball at Poochyena.
Unfortunately, given this was their first double battle, along with not having trained for such battles, neither Naruto nor May timed their attacks well enough. Ending with the Psybeam and Will-O-Wisp colliding and canceling each other out, creating an explosion.
"HA! You runts are really pathetic, if that's how you attack, let's show you how it's done! Poochyena use Howl!" The first Grunt ordered, as Poochyena let out a loud Howl, boosting both its and Growlithe's attack strength.
"Growlithe use Bite on Ralts!" Said the second Grunt.
Growling, the Growlithe lunged forward and bit down on Ralts, the Feeling Pokémon crying out from the attack, which was stronger thanks to Howl.
"Ralts!" Naruto cried out, worried for his Pokémon.
"Torchic, use Peck and help Ralts!" Said May.
"Chic!" Torchic charged forward to help Ralts.
"Poochyena use Sand Attack!" Said the first Grunt, Poochyena jumping in front of Torchic, before kicking sand in her face.
"Now Growlithe, throw Ralts into Torchic." The second Grunt said, with Growlithe doing do just that, and threw Ralts into Torchic, sending them both sprawling to the ground.
'Damn it! We haven't been able to get a single hit in on them, while they just keeping attacking! May and I need to figure something out, quick!' Naruto thought, while clenching his teeth at the situation they're in.
"Now to finish it, use Ember on Ralts, Growlithe!" The second Grunt ordered.
"And you use Bite on Torchic as well, Poochyena!" Commanded the first Grunt.
Poochyena charged forward, and prepared to sink its fangs into Torchic, while Growlithe unleashed a stream of Ember at Ralts
"Ralts dodge quickly and use Confusion on Growlithe and throw it into Poochyena!" Naruto said quickly, as Ralts stood up and quickly grabbed hold of Growlithe, before tossing it into the Dark-type, cancelling both of the opposing Pokémons' attacks.
"Now Torchic, use Will-O-Wisp on them!" Said May, seeing her chance.
"Torchic!" Torchic once again launched a blue fireball at Poochyena and Growlithe, this time successfully hitting them.
While Growlithe was immune to being burned, thanks to it being a Fire-Type, Poochyena was feeling the full effects of the attack.
"Okay Torchic, finish Poochyena off with Ember!" Said May.
Torchic unleashed a stream of embers that hit Poochyena, right when it and Growlithe got up, launching it back into a tree, with Poochyena falling down with swirls in its eyes.
"Your turn Ralts! Use Psybeam!" Naruto commanded.
"Ralts!" Ralts fired a Psybeam at Growlithe, sending the Puppy Pokémon flying back, before hitting the ground with swirls in its eyes.
"Alright, we did it!" Said Naruto, glad that they had managed to win.
"Yes!" Cheered May.
However, their attention turned to Ralts, when it was surrounded by a blue glow, much to their surprise, given what it meant.
"Ralts is…evolving." Naruto said, surprised at seeing one of his Pokémon evolve.
Ralts's body began growing and changing as it evolved, before finally the glow vanished, revealing the now evolved Pokémon.
"Kirlia."
Kirlia is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon, that appears to be wearing a tutu. Most of its body is white, and there are three ruffles on each hip. Beneath the ruffles, it has skinny green legs with long, pointed feet. Its arms are also thin, with two digits each. It has green hair, that covers most of its face and reaches its shoulders on either side, resembling two ponytails. Large red eyes are also visible on either side of the hair that covers its face. On each side of its head is a flat, red horn, that resembles a hairpin.
"Kirlia." Naruto said, amazed at his new Pokémon, before pulling out his Pokédex.
"Kirlia, the Emotion Pokémon. Kirlia uses the horns on its head to amplify its Psychic powers, and when this occurs, reality becomes warped, and future events can be seen."
"GAH! You damn brats, just because you beat us in a battle doesn't mean we'll leave! Not until we get those Research Papers!" Shouted one of the Grunts, before they both pulled out batons that started sparking with electricity.
"Now hand them over, or things will get messy for all of you." The second Grunt threatened.
Glaring at the Grunts for still refusing to give up, Naruto charged the Grunts as they swung their batons at him. Though it was clear from their attacks, that they obviously weren't used to using actual weapons, as Naruto ducked under their swings, while sweeping their feet out from under one of them, and upcutting the other.
The Grunts fell to the ground, before quickly getting up, only to see Naruto holding their now deactivated batons, only to immediately snap them both in half, over his knee.
"Now, beat it, before I really hurt you!" Growled Naruto, with his eyes flashing red, as the Grunts gulped at the sight, but hid their fear.
"This isn't over, you brats! Team Magma won't be stopped!" Said the first Grunt.
"Yeah! If we can't get those Papers here, we'll just go straight to Devon Corporation!" The second Grunt said.
With that the two Grunts returned their Pokémon and ran off.
'Team Magma? So, they are part of a bigger organization.' Thought Naruto, frowning, while wondering just what this "Team Magma" was planning.
"Ah, thank you both so much. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't been here? Here, please, take these as my thanks." Said the scientist, handing Naruto and May two Pokéballs, only rather than the normal red and white color, they were blue on the top half, with two red parts.
"What is this?" Naruto asked, confused at the different color scheme.
"It's called a Great Ball; it functions the same as any other Pokéball, but it has a higher chance of catching Pokémon than a regular one." The scientist explained, with Naruto and May looking at the Great Balls in surprise, before pocketing them, knowing they'll definitely be useful.
"Now I really must be getting back to the Devon Corporation to warn my superiors and co-workers! Goodbye!" Said the scientist, before running off, remembering that Magma Grunts planned to attack Devon Corporation.
Naruto and co. watched as the scientist ran off, while unknown to them, they were being watched by another member of Team Magma, through electronic binoculars. Though this member seemed unique compared to the ones Naruto and May battled, with her black hair and red eyes looking at them with interest.
"Courtney, the Grunts sent to retrieve the Research Papers have failed. Should I try and get them?" The girl asked, after contacting the Team Magma Admin, Courtney.
"Negative Zinnia. For now, return to base for new orders." Said Courtney.
"Yes Ma'am." Replied Zinnia, before cutting communication, while still looking at the group with interest, specifically at Naruto.
'He's kind of cute with those whiskers.' Zinnia thought, before leaving.
Meanwhile, another Grunt, this one wearing a blue uniform reminiscent of a sailor, was hiding in the trees, having watched everything with narrowed eyes, before smirking.
"Hmph, foolish Team Magma. If anyone will be claiming what the Devon Corporation is working on, it'll be Team Aqua. Crawdaunt, let's go." Ordered the Aqua Grunt, as his Crawdaunt appeared from behind some bushes.
Crawdaunt is a primarily red, crustacean Pokémon, with a tan underside. It has circular eyes set in deep sockets and a large, star-shaped growth on its forehead. The upper and lower halves of its underside are separated by a pattern of angular red shapes, with there being two blue stripes on its throat. Its forelimbs have two large pincers, with spiked edges and tan lower halves form. There are two sets of hind limbs. The foremost pair are simple claws with two spikes, while the rear pair are large and thick, with two white claws. And finally, yellow triangle marks the base of its lobster-like tail.
"Crawdaunt." Crawdaunt stepped out of the bush, with the Aqua Grunt smirking darkly, when he caught a glimpse of the two Magma Grunts laying on the ground, knowing that they wouldn't be getting back up, ever again.
With that, the Aqua Grunt and his Crawdaunt left the forest.
Meanwhile, Naruto couldn't help but frown and feel a sense of foreboding wash over him. He didn't know what it was, but there is definitely something sinister going on in the Hoenn Region, and he intends to find out what.
*Timeskip – Three Days*
"Hey! That must be Rustboro Hall!" Max said, as the trio walked down a path with a large building at the end.
"Then that means I just have one more day, before I can challenge the Rustboro City Gym Leader." Stated Naruto, smirking, while feeling excited at finally being close to Rustboro City.
Though as they walked down the path, they noticed several people with their Pokémon out, but didn't look like they were training. Instead, they saw Pokémon being groomed, washed and performing tricks, rather than attacks.
"It doesn't seem like they're training for Pokémon battles." Naruto said, confused, as while he can understand taking care of ones Pokémon, this seemed different to him.
"They must be preparing for that Pokémon Contest." Max said, pointing to Rustboro Hall, with a sign saying "Pokémon Competition" on it.
"A Pokémon Contest?" May asked, curious of what that could be.
However, before she could get an answer, a Pokémon suddenly flew by and landed on her face, much to her surprise.
It was a butterfly-like Pokémon, with two pairs of wings. It has large blue eyes, and black antennae with rounded tips. Its face, underside, and four stubby limbs are gray, while the rest of its body is black. The main body of its wings is black, with large, yellow markings, while also having smaller red and blue markings. The upper pair of wings is larger, and has a line of yellow along the top edge, while each of the lower wings have a long, round-tipped extension on the bottom.
May fell down screaming in surprise, as the Pokémon held onto her face.
"Huh, wonder what Pokémon that is?" Naruto said, while pulling out his Pokédex.
"Beautifly, the Butterfly Pokémon. Beautifly have long, thin noses, which can extend to suck the pollen out of flowers."
"Beautifly." Beautifly flew down and rested on top of May's head.
"Get off!" Said May, shaking her head, only to slump forward when Beautifly didn't even budge.
"Guess you have a new friend, May." Naruto said, while smiling in amusement.
"It's not funny!" May shouted, before resuming her attempts to get the Pokémon off.
"I'm so sorry!" Someone said, getting their attention.
Looking, they saw a two teenagers, a boy and a girl, running towards them, with another Pokémon accompanying the boy.
It was is an insectoid Pokémon, whose body is varying shades of purple. Its head and thorax are light purple, and it has bulbous, round light blue eyes, a small mandible, and a three-point crest on its head. Tucked close to its thorax, are three pairs of tiny, whitish legs. Its abdomen is paler, with several black, zigzagging stripes encircling it. It has two pairs of pale purple moth-like wings, with thin black venation. These wings are covered in dust-like scales, that vary in color, depending on their toxic capability.
"Another one." Naruto muttered, before scanning this new Pokémon as well.
"Venomoth, an evolved form of Venonat. Tiny scales on its wings disperse various spores, when they are flapped."
"Beautifly, stop that right now." The girl said, while running up to May, as Beautifly looked at her.
"Excuse me, were you training your Beautifly for that Pokémon Contest?" Max asked.
"I was. But, unfortunately some of the attacks went a little bit wrong." Answered the girl, sheepishly.
"That's probably my fault. Venomoth's Whirlwind attack was far too strong, it was a complete failure." The boy added.
"My name's Janet by the way." Janet introduced, as Beautifly flew onto its trainer's shoulder.
"And I'm Chaz. How's it going?" Said Chaz.
"I'm Naruto."
"I'm May.
"And I'm Max."
"Though what did you mean by your attack was a failure? Isn't it a good thing, if it's strong?" Naruto asked.
"Well, normally yes. But Contest Battling, isn't like regular Pokémon Battles." Chaz said, seeing Naruto didn't know about Contests.
"That's right. It's about the beauty of the attack, not the raw power." Janet added.
"Beauty of the attack?" Asked Naruto.
"Yeah, we're Coordinators, and we train our Pokémon to be graceful." Janet replied.
"Oh, now I remember! Aren't Pokémon Contests where the winner gets a cute ribbon?!" May asked, having just remembered hearing about Pokémon Contests.
"That's right, and they look just like these two." Said Janet, showing her Contest Ribbons, with Chaz showing his own.
"Oh wow! Those are so cool; I have to win one!" Said May, wanting to have her own Contest Ribbon.
"May, I think you'd have to be good with Pokémon to enter." Max stated.
"I'm a natural with Pokémon, and Torchic has gotten much stronger." Retorted May.
"I think he meant that we've just recently began training Torchic, May. And while she has made great progress, we have been training her to battle, not enter Contests. How about you sit this one out and see how they work? Then afterwards, you can decide if entering Contests is something you want to do. And I'm sure that Chaz and Janet would be able to give you some tips, if you do decide to become a Coordinator." Naruto said, while looking at the two, who nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, no problem." Janet replied.
"We'd be happy to help a new Coordinator." Said Chaz.
"Oh, alright." May muttered, disappointed that she won't get a chance to get a ribbon but conceded to Naruto's points that she didn't really know what to do in contests.
"What about you Naruto, interested in entering Contests?" Janet asked.
"I may enter a few at some point, since they do sound interesting. But I'm currently planning to enter the Rustboro Gym and take on the Hoenn League." Replied Naruto.
"Really? What kind of Pokémon will you be using?" Chaz asked.
"Well I have Treecko, Kirlia, Zigzagoon, and Zorua." Said Naruto, with Chaz nodding at the Pokémon.
"Nice choices, especially with Treecko. The Rustboro Gym Leader uses Rock-type Pokémon, so a Grass-type will be supper effective. But if you want to add some variety, I could help teach a move to your Treecko and Zigzagoon, that will definitely give you an edge." Chaz offered.
"Sure, that'd be great." Replied Naruto, as while he'd have a good chance with the Pokémon he has, it never hurts to have a trump card.
*Later*
Naruto, May and Max cheered as Janet received the Rustboro Ribbon, having won the Pokémon Contest. Naruto had been able to come and watch the Contest, leaving a Clone to continue training Treecko and Zigzagoon to learn Iron Tail, the move that Chaz and his Sentret showed them, once the contest started. May and Max, meanwhile, had assisted Janet in the Appeal Round, with May having been amazed at just how great it all was, along with seeing further proof of how amazing Pokémon are.
Then it came down to the Battle Round, with Janet and Chaz going against each other in the finals, with Janet managing to come out the victor.
After the end of the Contest and seeing Janet's newest Ribbon, May's interest in participating in Pokémon Contests only increased even more.
"Guys, I think that I really do want to become a Coordinator. Seeing the performances and battles, it was all so amazing. And that's what I want to do." Said May, as they exited the Contest Hall.
"That's great, May. I gotta admit, it was pretty fun seeing a Contest, and it'd cool seeing you entering one." Said Max, with Naruto nodding in agreement.
"He's right. And I know that you will do really great as a Coordinator, May, and I'll support you all the way to the Grand Festival." Said Naruto, being completely sure that May will be able to win five Ribbons and enter the Grand Festival.
May smiled at her brother's words, before blushing at Naruto's and hearing how much faith he had in her. That he believes that she'll be able to make it to the Grand Festival. It made her heart flutter and determined to make sure Naruto's faith in her isn't misplaced.
"Well, let us be the first to welcome you to Pokémon Contests, May." Janet said, smiling at the new Coordinator.
"Yeah. We hope to see you in some Contests, soon." Added Chaz.
"Thank you, all of you." May said, smiling.
With that, Janet and Chaz gave May some tips on what to do in contests, and how best to take care of her Pokémon. Along with giving her a Ribbon Case, as well as some Pokéblocks, and telling her how to make them.
Afterwards, the trio waved goodbye to their new friends, and made their way towards Rustboro City.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we got to see the results of Naruto helping May train Torchic before seeing them work together to battle Team Magma, with them coming out on top after finding their synergy. Though the Grunts still tried to taking the Devon Research Papers, only to be chased off by Naruto and straight towards a The Aqua member, who made sure they couldn't report back to their superiors. We also see Zinnia spying on the trio and being ordered back to base by Courtney. Then we move onto Naruto, May, and Max watching their first Contest, with Treecko and Zigzagoon managing to learn Iron Tail and May deciding to become a Coordinator. Now then onto the Omake!
Omake: A Blooming Coordinator
"Alright, a Sun Stone! Yes!" Ino cheered as she held an orange sun-shaped stone.
"Oddish!" Oddish jumped up and down, around its trainer.
"Aaaah, can you keep it down, Ino." Shikamaru said, yawning as he laid down next to his Slakoth, both staring up at the clouds, with Ino give him an annoyed look.
"Oh, be quiet Shikamaru! With this, I'll be able to evolve Oddish into a Bellossom, once she becomes a Gloom! Of course, it will be after my cute little Oddish learns some interesting moves in that form. Isn't that right, cutie." Ino cooed, while holding up her Oddish.
"Oddish." Oddish smiled and nuzzled against Ino's cheek.
"That's pretty cool. Though guys, what're you planning to do here, exactly? I was thinking of opening up one of those Battle Restaurants one day. What about you two?" Choji asked, while looking at his friends, as he tended to his newly evolved Metapod.
None of them were exactly sure what they wanted to do, after they arrived in the Server Regions and got their Pokémon. Though after hearing about Battle Restaurants, places where people can eat and battle each other, he knew that's what he wanted to do.
"I don't know, probably nothing. All the choices available are way to troublesome, for my taste." Shikamaru said with half-lidded eyes.
"Slakoth." Slakoth nodded in agreement with its trainer, while pleased that Shikamaru wouldn't force it to work hard and relax along with him.
"Of course they are, everything is troublesome to you, Shikamaru. But me, I know exactly what I'm going to do, I'm going to entering Pokémon Contests and becoming a Top Coordinator!" Ino declared, having known that she wanted to become a Coordinator, the moment she learned just what Pokémon Contests were, and Ino was eager to show off how amazing and beautiful her Pokémon are.
'I'm not surprised.' Choji and Shikamaru thought with deadpan expressions, figuring Ino would choose to become a Coordinator, and weren't surprised that was what their teammate was choosing.
Or should they say former teammate? Given they weren't Ninja anymore, and thus no longer a team. But even if they weren't a team, they were still friends, even if Ino could be troublesome.
And we get a look into Team Ten and their own Pokémon along with seeing while Naruto will have a rival in Tayuya, May will also have one in Ino as well. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
