Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Naruto and May departing Mauville and heading for Slateport, not only May's next Contest but to deliver the part to Captain Stern. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"Alright Eevee, now use Attract!" May said, with the Evolution Pokémon rushing forward.
"Eevee!" Eevee winked at her opponent, launching several pink hearts at them, causing the other Pokémon to become infatuated with hearts in his eyes.
Currently, both Naruto and May were outside the New Mauville Power Plant, having finally decided to check it out and see what kind of Pokémon they could find inside. With May having encountered a Pokémon that she had decided to catch, after seeing it.
It was a green, canine Pokémon with yellow markings. It has a large head crest with angular, lightning-like markings on the side. Its snout has a yellow blaze, and four fangs are discernible when its mouth is open. It has a yellow stripe down its back. Each of its four legs has a spike, with the ones on its hind legs being longer. It has yellow crescent-shaped paw pads on its front feet, while the pads on its hind feet are circular. It has a small, pointed, yellow-tipped tail.
"Electrike!" Electrike looked at Eevee with hearts in his eyes, unable to resist the Attract.
"Now let's finish it, Eevee! Use Swift and then send the star flying towards Electrike with Hyper Voice!" Said May seeing a chance to end the battle and catch Electrike, while Eevee jumped back and opened her mouth with yellow stars shooting out towards the Electric Pokémon.
"Ee-vee!" Eevee then released a blue wave energy, causing the stars speed to increase as they slammed into Electrike, who was also thrown back as a result of Hyper Voice.
"Okay, now go Pokéball!" Said May, throwing a Pokéball at the now weakened Electrike, bouncing off his head before opening up and sucking him inside.
Watching the Pokéball shake a few times, May and Eevee waited to see if the capture would succeed or fail. Only to smile happily, when they heard the Pokéball give off a ping sound, making the brunette excited at her newest Pokémon.
"Alright! We did it Eevee, we caught an Electrike!" May cheered while picking up her Pokéball.
"Eevee!" Eevee smiled happily at her Trainer, glad to have helped her catch a new Pokémon and with how much stronger she's gotten to help her.
"Way to go May-chan, you and Eevee were great. And I'm sure Electrike will be a great addition to your team." Said Naruto while walking over and congratulating his girlfriend, with May smiling in thanks at him.
"Thanks Naruto-kun." May replied, since she had ideas for some new Electric-type combos, after seeing Naruto and Wattson's battle four days ago.
And now she finally got the chance to try them out, with her own Electric-type Pokémon.
"Now let's see what this little guy can do." Said May, while pulling out her Pokédex and scanning Electrike's Pokéball.
"Electrike, the Lightning Pokémon. Using the electric charge stored in its fur, it can run faster than the eye can follow."
Electrike
Gender: Male
Ability: Static
Moves: Thunder Wave, Howl, Leer, Quick Attack, and Bite
Egg Move: Spark
"A good set of moves, but we'll need to work on some of them, before he's ready for Contests." Said May, seeing that while Electrike had some good moves, it'll be a while before he's ready for any Contests.
Knowing that while Electrike will certainly get attention, both before and after he evolves, it'll take more than appearance to win Contests. Though the brunette was certain that her new Pokémon will be amazing when he's ready.
"Then it's a good thing, we already have him some moves for him to learn and practice with." Said Naruto while handing May the TMs for Thunderbolt, Shock Wave and Flamethrower, not only giving Electrike access to more Electric-type moves, but some good coverage with Flamethrower as well.
"Thank you Naruto-kun, you really don't have to keep helping me like this, but I'm really thankful that you are." May said, smiling as she took the TMs, while Naruto waved it off.
"I already said before, I don't mind helping you with anything, May-chan. The only thing you need to do to repay me, is always do your best." Replied Naruto, not minding helping his girlfriend, with May's smile getting bigger at his words before she kissed him on the cheek.
"I will, but thanks anyway Naruto-kun. By the way, are you going to try and catch any Electric-type Pokémon?" May asked, wondering if the Uzumaki planned to catch any Electric Pokémon, while they're here.
"Not right now, as I want to see about focusing on the Pokémon I have right now and helping them grow and get stronger. Though I'm sure we'll get a few chances to come back here later on, when we have to pass through Mauville again." Replied Naruto, given how Mauville was nearly in the center of Hoenn and was connected to four different Routes, they'll most likely be coming back here again.
"Yeah, that's true. And I'm sure there will be other places to find Electric Pokémon as well." May said, nodding in agreement and understanding, since they would likely pass through Mauville again.
The couple then headed towards the Pokémon Center, with May getting both Eevee and Electrike looked over and healed before they gathered their stuff and prepared to head out. Their next destination being Slateport City, where May will be entering the Contest happening in a couple days. Along with them being able to meet Captain Stern and deliver the part Mr. Stone asked them to deliver to him.
Though before they left Mauville City, they stopped when they saw a crowd beginning to form outside of a large house, with different styles of paint on the front, styled into horizontal stripes.
"That must be The Trick House we've been hearing about." May said, with Naruto nodding agreement.
"And it looks like people are already getting ready for the annual contest." Stated Naruto.
During their time in Mauville the two had learned about The Trick House, owned by The Trick Master, who hosted an annual contest. Where anyone who manages to get through all the rooms, tricks, and traps inside The Trick House would receive a prize for making it to the end. Unfortunately, neither of them will be able to participate, as it would be taking place after the Slateport City Contest, nor did they want to backtrack back to Mauville so soon after leaving.
Despite how tempting the prize of a life-time supply of Pokéblocks is.
"While I'd love the chance to get a life-time supply of Pokéblocks, I'm sure we'll have time to take part in other kinds of events in the cities and towns we visit." Said May, with the whiskered blonde nodding in agreement since they'll have plenty of places to visit and things to do.
"Yeah. So, we just go down Route 110 to Slateport? Anything we should expect to encounter on the way there?" Naruto asked as they checked their PokéNav Pluses.
"It doesn't look like we'll be seeing anything along the way, aside from Cycling Road built above it, otherwise it's mostly a short, natural bridge across the water straight to Slateport. Even better, it looks like the Route isn't that long, so it should take us, at most, two days to reach Slateport and that's if we stop along the way to rest and train." May replied while smiling, glad for the chance at a nice and simple trip to the next city.
"Maybe on the trip there, afterwards I'm not so sure." Said Naruto, stopping as he looked at something, getting May's attention before she saw what Naruto was looking at.
It was a sign next to a tree, with "TEAM MAGMA RULEZ!" written on it over the crossed out words "Team Aqua was here!". Something that worried both Naruto and May, remembering their encounter with the Team Aqua Grunt in Rustboro City, and Team Magma in Oldale Town and Petalburg Woods.
"You don't think we'll run into more of those guys in Slateport, do you Naruto-kun?" May asked, worried that they'll be running into more Team Magma and Team Aqua members again.
"If they aren't in Slateport already, then they'll likely be arriving soon. And if, or when, they do, we'll be ready for them." Replied Naruto, also worried about these mysterious teams and what they're planning but knew that they'd be able to do their best to stop them.
May nodding in agreement, as despite her worry, she wasn't going to let Naruto fight these guys alone and will do her best to help him.
*Timeskip-Two Days*
May had been right with it only taking two days to reach Slateport, with them having stopped a couple times to rest and training their Pokémon. The Coordinator introducing Electrike to the rest of her team and started on his and Absol's training, with Naruto doing the same with Bagon.
With them arriving in Slateport before they knew it, the couple taking in the sight of the large city, amazed at being built on a cliff overlooking the ocean.
"Come on, let's see if we can't find Captain Stern and give him this part, then we can see about looking around and seeing what this city has to offer." Naruto said, eager to explore Slateport and see what there is, with May nodding in agreement, along with wanting to get registered for the Contest as soon as she can.
"Excuse me. Did you say you two are looking for Captain Stern?" Someone said, getting Naruto and May's attention to see a woman looking approaching them.
"Yeah, we are. We were asked by Mr. Stone in Rustboro City to deliver a part to him. Do you know where we could find him?" May asked, only for the woman to shake her head.
"Sorry, but it seems like you arrived at a bad time. Captain Stern's out on business at the moment and won't be back for quite some time, I think he'll be back after the upcoming Pokémon Contest though. When he returns, you'll be able to find him at the Oceanic Museum, it's on the edge of the city near the waterfront. Just look for the three glass dome buildings and that's the museum." Replied the woman, dampening the couples mood that Captain Stern wasn't here, though were glad to know when he'll be back and where they'll be able to find him.
"Oh, well thanks for the help and directions." Naruto said, the woman nodding and smiling at them before taking her leave, with Naruto and May looking at each other.
"Well, it looks like we'll get the chance to explore the city sooner than we thought. Though I wanna see where the Contest Hall is, so I can get registered for the Contest." Stated May, with Naruto nodding at this, while also getting an idea of what else they could do.
"How about instead of exploring the city, after you register for the Contest, we could go to the beach together." Naruto said, smiling at the Coordinator, with May smiling slyly at her boyfriend.
"Go to the beach? That depends, are you asking me out for another date or just looking for an excuse to see me in a bikini?" Questioned May, the Uzumaki merely smiling and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Can it be both?" Naruto replied, making May's smile widen before she kissed him.
"And that's the right answer. Now let's go, the sooner that we find the Contest Hall, the sooner I can get registered, and we can go to the beach. I already have the perfect suit in mind!" Said May, eager to see Naruto's reaction to her bikini, even more so now that they're dating, rather than her just trying to seduce him.
With Naruto letting May drag him along, unable to deny his own eagerness to see which swimsuit she'll wear.
*Later*
After locating the Contest Hall and getting May registered for the Slateport Contest, the couple had headed for the beach. Finding where the changing rooms were, before going inside to change into their swimsuits. With Naruto coming out first, wearing burnt orange swim trunks with black flames along the bottom of them. Now he was waiting for May to come out, feeling both nervous and excited to see what she looks like.
"Oh Naruto-kun~."
Naruto was pulled from his musing at hearing said Coordinator's voice and turned to look at her, only to be silenced when he saw her.
The brunette was now wearing a dark pink bikini, with the bottom half having white frills along the top and white knots on either side holding it together. While the top part had a strap around May's back and two strings tied up around her neck, with white frills along the top of the cups.
While Naruto had already seen May in bikini's before, the fact she is now his girlfriend, further allowed Naruto to take in her appearance. Taking in her round and perfectly sized C-cup breasts, her toned and flat stomach, her mile long legs, and her curves being in all the right places.
"So, like what you see?" May asked while posing with a sly look on her face, while inwardly smirking at Naruto's expression, knowing she picked the perfect suit.
"May-chan, you look…" Said Naruto, unable to find the right words to describe her, making the Coordinator giggle and saunter up to him.
"I'll take that as a compliment. And you certainly look good Naruto-kun." Said May while trailing a finger long Naruto's chest, licking her lips slightly at getting an eyeful of her boyfriend's muscular body, seeing all that training he's doing is paying off.
'I've felt him before but seeing is so much better~.' Thought May, enjoying her view just as much as Naruto was enjoying his.
Though soon they headed out to the beach, with May smirking when Naruto seemed to intentionally walk slightly behind her, leading her to put an extra sway in her step, fully knowing he was looking.
After finding a good spot, the couple set up their stuff before May pulled out some sunscreen and began applying it to herself, the brunette laying down once she was finished and looked at her boyfriend.
"Naruto-kun, do you mind getting my back?" May asked, with the Jinchūriki gulping, but nodded and took the sunscreen.
"S-sure May-chan." Replied Naruto, with May smiling in thanks before doing her top so it wouldn't get in the way.
Once he had some sunscreen on his hands, Naruto began rubbing it across May's back, marveling at how soft her skin felt, wondering if the rest of her felt the same. While May sighed contently at the feeling of Naruto's hands across her back.
"That feels great Naruto-kun. After you're done doing me, I'll do you next." Said May, causing Naruto's head to snap up to look at her with wide eyes.
"Wh-what?!" Naruto stuttered, blushing at what she just said.
"Your back, I'll help you put sunscreen on your back, once you're done with mine." May said with a small smirk, knowing exactly what she said and how it sounded, along with the reaction it'd get out of him.
"O-oh, y-yeah, th-that's f-fine. Th-thanks M-May-chan." Said Naruto as he calmed down at hearing her clarification, not sure if he should be relieved or disappointed though.
'Sorry Naruto-kun, it's just too fun teasing you!' Thought May as she mentally giggled, unable to resist making her boyfriend flustered, and knowing she can make it up to him.
After Naruto finished applying sunscreen to May's back and then to himself, he sat down to let May put some on his own back. With May deciding against further teasing Naruto, for the moment, knowing she'll have plenty of more opportunities later.
When that was finished, the couple laid down on their lounge seats, enjoying the feeling of the sun on them.
"This is nice. With everything that's happened, the training, the traveling, and all the other crazy stuff, it feels nice to just relax for a moment." May stated contently, with Naruto nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, I don't even remember the last time I relaxed, or if I ever have." Said Naruto, not remembering if he's ever done something like this, since he never was one for sitting still for extended periods of time.
Hearing this, May couldn't help but smirk at seeing another chance to tease the Uzumaki. Before she stood up and, to Naruto's surprise, proceeded to then sit down on his lap.
"M-M-May-chan-" Naruto said, only for May to shush him.
"Just relax Naruto-kun and hold me." Said May while leaning back against him, with Naruto hesitantly wrapping his arms around her.
"Does this feel good?" May asked after a few moments, with the whiskered blonde nodding slowly.
"Yeah it…does." Replied Naruto, starting to enjoy the feeling of May on his lap.
Only to immediately tense when May shifted slightly, feeling a certain part of his body start to wake up, which only went further when the brunette shifted again.
"M-M-Ma-May-chan?" Stuttered Naruto, while trying to will it to go down before May could feel it.
"Hm, is there problem Naruto-kun? Sorry, I was just trying to get more comfortable. Or do you want me to get up?" Questioned May, while internally grinning.
"U-uh-uh…n-n-no, b-b-b-bu-but c-c-c-co-could y-y-you n-not m-move s-so much." Naruto said, torn between wanting May to get up before she realizes what she's doing and wanting to continue to hold her.
"Yeah, sorry again if I disturbed you. If you want, we could also go in the water to cool off." May suggested, not wanting to go too far with her teasing, remembering that Naruto's still naïve when it came to love and relationships.
'But he just looks so cute when he's flustered!' Thought May, unable to resist getting Naruto flustered by teasing him.
"Y-ye-yeah, that sound good." Replied Naruto, knowing that going in the water should help him.
Smiling at him, May got off of Naruto's lap before purposefully stretching right in front of him, making Naruto freeze again.
'She has to be doing it on purpose, now!' Thought Naruto when May actually bent over, putting her ass on display right in front of him.
"So, ready to get in the water, Nar-" May said, only to smirk when she saw Naruto run past her and straight into the water, with the Coordinator soon following after him, knowing she's going to have a lot of fun today.
*Later*
Naruto and May had spent a decent amount of time in the water, with the latter letting up on her teasing, instead sticking with affectionate gestures and light flirting. Before doing some more teasing when Naruto starts getting comfortable, loving the way he'd become flustered and embarrassed, before pulling back on things.
After they got out of the water, they played a game of beach volleyball, before going to the Shore House to get some lunch and enjoy a soda pop together.
Once they finished, Naruto then took May to a more secluded part of the beach.
"Wow Naruto-kun, you've certainly become bold. Taking me out here, where we're all alone." May said teasingly, making Naruto blush at her implications.
"I-it's n-n-no-not li-li-li-like th-th-that! I-I j-just wanted to sh-show you some things I've been working on." Said Naruto, making May lose her teasing attitude as she now became interested at hearing this.
"Some things? Like Ninja things?!" May asked eagerly, excited at the chance to see Naruto showing her some of his abilities, having not gotten a lot of chances since first learning about his abilities.
"Yeah, I wanted to wait until there was no worry of someone seeing or stumbling on us. Just stay there and watch this." Naruto replied, with the brunette nodding in excitement,
Which only grew, along with shock and awe, when Naruto ran towards the water, but rather than dive in, the Uzumaki instead started running on top of it. Causing May to look at him with wide eyes, not believing he was actually walking on water. While Naruto grinned at her expression, before going through handsigns.
"That's not all. Water Style: Water Clone Jutsu!" Said Naruto, before the water began rising up until three Water Clones of Naruto stood around him, before they went through handsigns as well.
"Water Style: Surfing Strike!" One clone said, before the water rose up under it, which the clone began surfing on as a mini wave.
"Water Style: Water Trumpet!" Said the second clone, launching a large jet of water from their mouth, through their cupped hand, up into the air.
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!" The third clone said, with the surround water rising up and forming a wall around it.
May could only look on in amazement at her boyfriend and his clones, still finding it hard to believe he could really do all this stuff and more, even while she's looking at proof of it.
"What do you think? Pretty cool right?" Naruto asked while smiling at May as he dispelled his clones and walked over to her.
"That was so…AWESOME!" Said May, smiling in excitement and amazement at what she'd just seen, unable to resist running towards Naruto and throwing her arms around him, happy that he showed her all of that
"I'm glad you liked it, I've been waiting for a chance to show you some of the things I've learned, but either something was going on or there'd be the risk of someone seeing us. Now that it's just us, I'll have more opportunities to show you what I've learned." Naruto replied, making the Coordinator even happier that he trusted her that much.
The two then sat down on the sand, looking out over the ocean, seeing it was beginning to get late.
"May-chan, earlier with all that teasing, were you doing all that on purpose?" Naruto asked while looking at the brunette, with May biting her bottom lip and nodding.
"Yeah, I was doing all that on purpose. I'm really sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I just couldn't help myself, but want to tease you since it's nice to see the affect I have on you." Replied May, enjoying how she could reactions out of Naruto with teasing.
"You don't have to apologize; besides, I kind of figured it was on purpose after the first couple of times, but just wanted to be sure." Said Naruto, with May looking at him nervously.
"So…you aren't mad or upset?" May asked.
"Why would I be? It's not something new May-chan, you've been doing it a lot since we got together and I never complained or got upset before, so why would I now. Besides, how I could get upset when I have a girl like you with me." Said Naruto, smirking at the Coordinator, which May returned.
"A girl like me. And what kind of girl am I?" Said May while leaning in closely.
"Smart, funny, kind, caring, brave, determined, fierce, and undeniably attractive and hot. I could go on, but we'd be hear a lot longer." Naruto replied, with May's smirk widening.
"I wouldn't mind hearing more. But let's not forget I have a guy like you, kind, sweet, caring, brave, smart, and absolutely perfect to look at, especially when you're showing off, like you just were." May said, only to gasp when Naruto wrapped an arm around her, pulling her onto his lap.
"And you aren't showing off? Wearing that, knowing how I could react? I think you're the show off, not that I'm complaining if I get to see you like this more often." Stated Naruto while looking May up and down, the brunette smirking as she leaned in closely to him.
"I think that can be arranged. As long as I get more…personal shows than what you gave me earlier~." May said lowly.
The two looking at each other, before immediately pressing their lips together, with May wrapping her arms around Naruto's head holding him close, while Naruto put his hands on her hips. With the Jinchūriki soon falling back onto the ground with May on top of him as they made out, soon adding their tongues to the mix.
With May moaning when she felt one of Naruto's hands start groping her ass, leading her to press herself against his crotch and her breasts on his chest, until she felt something poke her.
Feeling themselves starting to get too excited, Naruto and May reluctantly separated with a string of saliva connecting their lips, looking at each other with desire in their eyes.
"As much as I'd love to go further, we only started dating a few weeks ago. And I really don't want to ruin this by going too far too soon." Said May, with Naruto nodding in agreement before kissing her, while smiling at the brunette.
"It's fine May-chan, I don't want to ruin this either. Whenever you're ready, then we can go further if you want." Naruto replied, making May smile and kiss him lightly before getting up off him.
"Thank you Naruto-kun. Though I think I'm gonna go check out the Market and see what they have here." May said, with whiskered blonde nodding as he stood up.
"That's fine, I'm gonna head back to our room at the Pokémon Center to relax for the rest of the day." Said Naruto, with the two heading back to collect their stuff, before going to the changing rooms to get dressed and leave.
*Later*
After splitting off from Naruto, May headed to the Market, now dress in black short shorts and a red tank top over her bikini. With her having gotten more supplies at the Market, along with some other items that caught her eye.
Though once she had gotten a good amount of stuff, May was prepared to head back, only to catch sight of another vendor that only seemed to be selling little orange books.
'Huh, I wonder what kind of books those are?' May thought before heading up to the vendor, who looked up at seeing her.
"Sorry kid, you have to be eighteen-years or older, or a registered Trainer to check out these books." Said the vendor, confusing May once again, along with making her more interested in what the books were.
"Well I am a registered Pokémon Trainer and Coordinator, see." May said while pulling out her Trainer ID, showing she's legally an adult, with the vendor looking at it for any signs of forgery or that it was fake, only to see it was real.
"Okay, then you can check some out, and purchase any, if you want." The vendor said, with May nodding before grabbing some of the books, opening one up to read it and see what they were about.
Only to soon develop a full-body blush at what she just read, now realizing just what kind of books these…Icha Icha were and what they were about. But despite her embarrassment and growing arousal, May found herself unable to put the book down.
"Could I get this and a few more volumes?" May asked, grabbing a few other volumes of the Icha Icha Books, and paying for them.
'Really glad I'm still wet from swimming.' Thought May as she rubbed her thighs together, feeling her arousal from both the books and her make-out session with Naruto leaking through her bikini bottoms and shorts.
With her new purchases paid for and hidden under some other stuff, so Naruto wouldn't find them, May headed back to the Pokémon Center. Only to end up running right into someone, given her mind was still currently focused on her new books and what they contained.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." May said while picking up her stuff and helping the person she bumped into with hers.
"It's fine, I wasn't really looking where I was going either." Said the person, a girl going by her voice, with May looking at her as they stood up.
Seeing the girl had short, reddish-orange hair tied into a side ponytail with a blue elastic rubber band, green eyes, and fair skin. She was wearing a yellow top that reveals her midriff, red suspenders, denim shorts that stop at her thighs and red sneakers with yellow lining and white laces.
'She's kind of cute.' May thought, admiring the cute girl, before noticing she was holding a traveler's guide in her hand, which she must have been reading.
"You're new to the Hoenn Region?" May asked, with the girl nodding with a smile.
"That's right, I arrived just a few days ago from Kanto. I've been reading up more about the Region before I head out to explore it. I'm Misty by the way." Introduced Misty as she held out her hand, which May shook.
"May. And yeah, I just started my own journey a month ago, and I've learned things can get pretty crazy the farther you are from home." May replied.
"I understand the feeling, especially with how different everything is compared to back home. I'm actually just about to go explore more of the city, before heading to Dewford for my first Gym Badge." Misty said, with May nodding at this.
"Well, have fun and good luck Misty. Maybe we'll bump into each other again, see ya." Said May, especially since Dewford was hers and Naruto's next destination, once they were done in Slateport, while she and Misty waved farewell to each other.
"Yeah maybe. See ya May." Replied Misty as they went their separate ways.
Entering the Pokémon Center, May went to head up to hers and Naruto's room, catching sight of another girl around her age talking to some of the Trainers inside. Not being able to hear what was being said, but seeing she seemed to be holding up a picture or a drawing and asking them something, only for them to shake their heads. Which obviously frustrated the girl as she turned around, showing annoyed green eyes and long black hair tied up in a ponytail and bangs framing her face and covering he forehead.
'Must be trying to find someone.' Thought May, figuring the girl was asking around for someone, before shrugging as she went upstairs.
Entering the room, she found Naruto dressed in more casual clothing, perfect to relax and lounge in.
"Hey Naruto-kun, what'd you do while I was out?" May asked while setting her bags down, while Naruto shrugged.
"Nothing much, mostly just laid down and relaxed, I actually just got done taking a shower before you got back." Replied Naruto, May nodding in response.
"I might actually take one myself." May stated, before entering the bathroom to take her own shower.
A nice, cold shower to help keep herself calm and relaxed from her current thoughts.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see May catching an Electrike, after seeing Naruto and Wattson's battle, getting some ideas for Electric combos which she'll now be able to try out with Electrike. While Naruto chooses to focus on training his current Pokémon before getting an Electric-type of his own, knowing they'll be passing through Mauville again eventually. With the two then setting out for Slateport, passing The Trick House as they do, knowing they won't get the chance to enter the annual contest held there. Along with them spotting a sign marked by Team Magma and Team Aqua, worrying them about encountering both teams again. Then we see it doesn't take long for the to arrive in Slateport, due to Route 110 not being that long, only to learn Captain Stern is out on business and wouldn't be back until after the Pokémon Contest. Leading to Naruto and May instead going to the beach for another date, where May enjoys teasing Naruto with her bikini and getting reactions out of him, along with Naruto showing off his Water Walking and Water Style Ninjutsu. Before things start getting heated between them though they stop before things could go further, as they did only get together a few weeks ago, with May then heading for the Market to purchase some stuff, including a very familiar set of books. Finally we then get a guest appearance of May bumping into Misty, along with spotting Shizuka who's asking around to see if anyone's seen Jiraiya. Now then onto the Omake!
Omake: Jelly-Filled Shame
Hinata smiled as she sat at hers and Ash's campsite, along with their new traveling companion, Brock the Pewter City Gym Leader. Having met him when they went to Pewter City for Ash's fourth Gym Badge, with Brock having decided to join them on their journey. Being able to pursue his dream of becoming a Pokémon Breeder, after his father returned to the Pewter Gym to take over as Gym Leader.
Currently, they had set up camp, with Brock currently making lunch, while Ash and Hinata were making small talk, with one of the topics they were currently discussing being Naruto.
"So Hinata, what's Naruto like exactly?" Ash asked, having been interested in hearing more about Naruto after Hinata mentioned him, and how highly she talked about him.
"He's actually a lot like you, Ash. He can be determined and unmovable when he sets his mind to something. Along with always sticking up for his friends and never backing down from a challenge. In fact, he's probably become a Pokémon Trainer to take on a Pokémon League Challenge in another Region, if he isn't already here in Kanto, somewhere." Said Hinata, knowing Naruto would have become a Trainer here in the Server Regions.
"Wow, he sounds like he'd be an awesome Trainer to battle! I hope he is here in Kanto, so we can get the chance to battle each other! And if he's not, then maybe we'll run into him one day, when we're both even stronger to make it a great battle!" Ash said, eager for the chance to face someone like Naruto in a Pokémon Battle, to see which of them is the best.
"I'm sure he'd like that and that he'd be a great Trainer." Hinata stated, with Ash smiling at her and giving a thumbs up.
"Well if he's anything like you, I bet he'll be way strong!" Replied Ash, causing the Hyūga blush at the praise.
While she wasn't entered in the Pokémon League, Hinata's still a Trainer who's had her share of battles and was surprised when she found herself to be rather good at them. Though she didn't think she would be to win any real challenges, like against a Gym Leader, so it's surprising to hear Ash praise her skills like that.
'He's really like Naruto-kun.' Hinata thought while seeing how similar Ash and Naruto are, making her feel slightly bad, since it made Hinata feel like she's using Ash as a placeholder for Naruto, on the chance they do run into him at some point.
"Th-thank you Ash, but I'm not that great and just do my best." Said Hinata.
"No really, you're a great Trainer Hinata. You do your best to train your Pokémon and take care of them, and you'll only get even stronger the more you train and battle alongside them." Said Ash confidently, fully believing she could be a great Trainer, while Hinata smiled and nodded at him.
"Hey guys, before we eat lunch, how about a light snack. I just made some jelly-filled donuts that we can have as an appetizer." Said Brock, getting the twos attention as they looked at him.
Only when they did, they were confused, and slightly worried, when they saw that Brock wasn't holding donuts, but onigiri instead.
"Uh, Brock…are you feeling alright?" Ash asked, wondering if their friend was sick or something.
"Yeah, perfectly fine. Why?" Brock replied.
"Because…those are onigiri, not donuts." Said Hinata, making Brock look at the onigiri, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
"Yeah, I know, and I hate myself for saying they're jelly-filled donuts." Brock muttered, ashamed of what he just said.
"Then…why did you?" Questioned Ash.
"I honestly have no idea. I just felt compelled to call them that, for some reason." Admitted Brock, making the two blink.
"Well…I'm sure the onigiri will still be a great snack before lunch." Hinata said while smiling comfortingly at him, with Brock nodding before handing them each an onigiri as they dug in.
And we get another look at Hinata and Ash, along with the new addition of Brock, while seeing Hinata and Ash are starting to grow closer, though Hinata feeling bad at believing she's using Ash as a placeholder for Naruto, while Ash is excited at the chance to meet and battle Naruto. Then we see Brock offering them "jelly-filled donuts", confusing both Trainers while wondering if Brock's feeling alright as he was really offering them onigiri. Something Brock admits he knew and hates himself for it but felt compelled to say they were jelly-filled donuts. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
