Chapter 3: Ash Plus Oak Equals Training

Naruto and the group followed behind Professor Oak towards a lab that sat near a lake. They walked through the door and saw a young man around his late twenties. On his shoulder sat a mouse like pokemon, naruto wondered what its name young man stepped forward and held out his hand toward him and said, "Hi! My name is Ash Ketchum and this is my partner Pikachu." The Pikachu rubbed his cheek against Ash's with little sparks coming from them. Naruto snapped hi,self from his thoughts and shook Ash's hand while introducing himself. " Hi, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. These are my friends: Neji Hyuuga, Hinata Hyuuga, Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame, Rock Lee, Kiba Inuzuka, and TenTen. We heard that you might be in need of some extra help and our Hokage sent us to help you. We have all caught one pokemon to help us begin the journey but we know absolutely nothing besides what our mission is. We only caughht these pokemon because they hadn't been trained yet."

Ash looked at him a little startled, " You've all caught pokemon already? Well lets see them then and we can start from there." Naruto alonged eith the other seven polled out a pokemon and called them out one at a time. Neji threw his pokeball into the air and out popped a Natu. Professor Oak then spoke up, "You're very lucky Natu's are a little tricky to catch but make very good partners especially for beginners." Hinata went next and called out her Ralts. Then TenTen called out her Squirtle, Lee called out his Shroomish, Kiba called out his Mudkip, Shino called out his Weedle, Shikamaru called out his Cyndaquil. Naruto ended it by calling out his Chimchar. Professor Oak then spoke up, "You all have nice starter pokemon, some of which just came to the Hoenn region." "Well, in order to help you need to train with your pokemon to become better at battling. Eventually you will catch more pokemon and you will want to raise them right so that they will listen to you better. Professor can you give them the Pokedex, I'm going to teach you how to train your pokemon and from there you can adapt a style that suits you and your pokemon. So what field do you plan to be in? I know all of you don't want to be trainers." Ash said just as Professor Oak gave him the pokedex's.

Naruto answered his question, "Well Hinata and TenTen are going to be cooridinators. Shino and Kiba are going to be breeders. Lee and I are going to be trainers. While Shikamaru and Neji are going to be handlers." Ash nodded his head and went back to a desk in the far corner and pulled out eight forms. "You have to fill out these forms and then your pokemon status, I guess you can say, will be registered into your pokedex TenTen and Hinata the first town that has a pokemon contest go to the pokecenter and register so that you may enter the contest, okay?" They agreed while everyone filled out the form. "Well lets go train a bit and tomorrow we can travel to a pretty good forest where you can catch some good forest before we head out on our journey." They walked outside and around the corner and saw a little pokemon stadium. "Well let's get to work!" said Ash.


The Next Day

They were getting ready to walk to the forest and try and catch some more pokemon. Professor oak had given each of them six pokeballs one extra in case one failed. That of course did not mean that they were going to catch all of their pokemon in this forest, just about two each so they could get a good start. Naruto made sure he had everything he needed to make this journey without having to stop for a long while. When he saw that he had everything he went outside to meet with the others. When he got there he realized everyone had been waiting on him and said, "Hope I didn's keep you waiting long." "Not at all, we just got here." replied Ash. That said he turned around and began to walking.

They had been walking for five hours when they came across a huge forest. "This is called Pokemon forest, you can find a few good pokemon in here to start your journey. We'll stay here for two days before going to the next town." With that said they entered the forest, they had only walked for fifteen minutes when they came across a pokemon. Hinata took out her pokedex and held it up towards the pokemon.

Caterpie

The worm-like pokemon

Caterpie has little legs that have suction cups to help it climb trees. Its designs are used for camouflage.

"C-Can I catch it, please?" Hinata asked. Naruto smiled and nodded his head. She took out the pokeball and threw it into the air. "Ralts, Action!" Her Ralts came out and posed like it would in a contest. "Ralts use Double Team!, then use Confusion!" Ralts attacked and the Caterpie became unconscious, she threw a pokeball at it. It shook three times before settling down; she went over and picked it up while smiling.
