Chapter 7

One hour Later, Outside Pewter City Gym:

Naruto stood just outside the gym, right in front of the doors leading to the first stepping stone of his journey. Misty stood just to his left, waiting for him to enter. Naruto took a breath and placed his hands on the door and with a shove, he threw them open, calling out ''My Name is Naruto Uzumaki Ketchum and I challenge the leader of this gym to a Pokemon Battle!'' His voice carry out into the darkness of the voice, strong and firm.

Suddenly, one by one, the over head lights turned on covering the room in a white glow as they slowly revealed more and more to the challenger and his friend. Until finally, all was revealed, Misty and Naruto looked at the man sat crossed legged in the centre of the room his back face them as his voice called back. ''Then I, Brock Stone'' He looked back at the pair as he finished his face set the same as his surname.

''Accept your challenge!''

The now named Brock stood up from his lotus position on the ground and slowly made his way down the stairs from where he was sat. ''Is this your first Gym match?'' he question, his voice mature and serious. ''This match is for league authorization, there are special rules'' he finished as he came to a stop in front of Misty and Naruto.

The golden haired trainer nodded his eyes locked on the gym leader. ''Yes, I am aware of this. What are the rules of your Gym?'' out of the corner of his eye he could see Misty making her way towards the bleachers to watch out of harms way. However, not before mouthing a 'Good luck' to him before she went.

Brock made a motion that told Naruto to follow him as they made their way to the designated battle ground. ''We will use two Pokemon each. Understood?'' he didn't have to turn his head or look with his seemingly closed eyes to know his challenger nodded. ''Good'' Brock stated as he pointed to a white box painted on the floor opposite his where he was stood in one of his own. ''Stand over there so we may begin our battle'' He told Naruto as the younger trainer made his way over.

Upon reaching his stop, Naruto spun on his heel to face his first league battle. ''How long have you been a Pokemon Trainer?'' Called out Brock in a slightly bored and taunting tone.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the hidden massage as he spoke. ''About three and a half weeks'' he shouted back as his hand went to grab his chosen Pokeball for this match. ''Why, is that a problem?'' He remarked in a sarcastic fashion.

Brock scoffed as he raised his hand from its crossed position on his chest. He brought his thumb and middle finger together. ''Suit yourself, as Gym leader I have to accept all challenges. So lets just get this over with'' He snapped his fingers, the sound echoing throughout out the gym.

The wall to Naruto left made a clunking noise as it raised up, followed by a grinding noise that made the ground shake. Misty held the hand rail to steady herself from her place above the field, looking down she saw that the floor was changing from it's smooth surface to a more rocky terrain that was littered by boulders everywhere.

Naruto quickly surveyed his surroundings, thinking up any plans to use the area to his advantage. From what he had gathered this gym was a rock type gym. Even a child could have figured that out, seeing as Pewter City has always been known for it's stones as that Flint guy said.

Brock brought up his Pokeball, as did Naruto, bring it to point out at the one across from them. ''Let the match begin!'' Cried Brock as he threw his Pokeball out towards the field. ''Onix, Go!'' He yelled as the giant rock snake landed with thud, roaring its arrival to the skies before looking at the trainer before him.

Naruto almost smirked as he cocked his throwing arm. Aiming high, his arm shot forward as he throw his Pokeball into the air above everyone. Their eyes followed the spinning ball as Naruto shouted, his eyes and face full of excitement. ''Katsu!, you got this!'' The aura Pokemon burst from the ball in a shower of white light and landed on the stony floor without even the slightest of noises and raised his arms as he took a battle ready stance.

'What Pokemon is that?' Thought Brock as the gazed upon the strange creature. He turned his eyes to the blonde new trainer 'This one doesn't seem like the other three from Pallet I have fought recently.' Brock took a moment to observe his challenger's stance 'while they all screamed confidence and slight arrogance. This one looks like he knows he going to win. He has complete faith in both his and his Pokemon's abilities' He grinned to himself 'SO that means that I can hopefully go all out this time' His anticipation was building, while he may personally want to be a Pokemon breeder/doctor he did like a good battle every once and a while.

''Hey!'' he called out to Naruto, getting the younger trainers attention ''What type of Pokemon is that? I have never seen it before in my life'' The breeder side of him just demanded he knew and the doctor side was just the same in case he was to ever treat the same species again.

Naruto smirked as he reached into his bag and pulled out his custom made Pokedex. Flicking through the various Pokemon Naruto stopped on his desired one and presented Brock the information page as he turned up the volume so he could hear from across the battle field.

The Pokedex's robotic voice soon sated the curiosity of everyone that was wondering the same thing. ''Lucario, The Aura Pokemon. It is the evolved form of Riolu both Pokemon are from the Sinnoh Region. It is said that by catching the Aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and feelings. A well trained Lucario can sense and feel the Auras of people and Pokemon alike for Miles.'' Naruto snapped the dex shut as he put it back in his Pocket.

Above in the Stands Looking Down:

Misty looked at Katsu with wide eyes, what a cool Pokemon, even if it wasn't a Water Type! ''What a awesome looking Pokemon'' Her thoughts were voiced by someone next to her making her look over to the person next to her. Or should she say family next to her.

There sat next to her where ten smiler looking kids five boys and five girls all with the same closed looking eyes and tanned skin tone as the gym leader below. Deciding to be friendly, Misty stuck her hand out with a smile towards the oldest looking boy that spoke earlier. ''Hello I'm Misty''

The boy smiled back and shook her ''I'm Forest, Nice to meet you'' Taking his hand back Forest pointed to the identified Lucario in the ring ''Do you know where your friend got that Pokemon'' His voice was almost giddy, as if he wanted one for himself.

Misty shook her head and gave him an apologetic smile. ''No'' Looking down at the Lucario she continued ''He had that before I met him, sorry'' Sending Forest one more smile, Misty decided to change the subject ''Are you all related to Brock down there'' She asked in an attempt to make polite conversation. She, however, was not prepared for the onslaught of ten different voices against her ears.

''All right that's enough'' Said Forest, calming down his siblings ''Remember your manners'' He sighed before turning to the slightly giggling Misty as she covered her mouth with her left hand ''Sorry about that but yes we are all his brothers and sisters.'' they both looked down to the arena as both battlers prepared for combat ''We come here to cheer our brother on every time he fights. it's the least we could do after everything he as done for us''

Misty looked over at the proud family as they cheered for a few silent minutes, wondering what they meant by that by decided not to pry. It wasn't her place so she turned her head to look at the upcoming battle that, if the fight between Naruto and Samurai was anything to go by, was going to be good.

The Battle Ground Below:

Naruto steadied his breathing and closed his eyes, reaching out through their bond, prompting Katsu to do the same when he felt Naruto brush against his mind, he spoke to Katsu and gave his first orders. ''Katsu, this is my first gym battle and your first battle as a trainer.Because of your higher the normal starter level it might be some time before anyone pushes us but I think that we should hold back some of our strength to enjoy the fights. You all right with that?, I don't intend to lose, just to not beat up his Pokemon too much'' He questioned through the bond, knowing the pride of fighting types it was quite unlucky for him to agree. The same goes for Amaterasu, even through they weren't classified as Dragon type, they sure do have the same ego and pride as one. He was just lucky that she believed he was worth to trainer her and trusted him.

Naruto almost laughed at the pure annoyance and sent through the bond at his request 'Fine! But you owe me one' Katsu answered after a little bit although he was greatly reluctant, something Naruto could feel in abundance through their connection.

This time Naruto chuckled for real as he and Katsu opened their eyes to the real world again. Setting their sights on the goal ahead, their eyes hardened and seemed glow a dark blue very slightly. To any onlooker the two pair blue would've made quite the imposing picture in the dark room.

Brook tensed in preparation for the first move, ready to order a counter at any moment. 'Unknown Pokemon, means a possibility of unknown moves. Must be ready for anything' He was greatly unsettled by the look on both Naruto and his pokemon, Katsu's, face. It was the look of someone with battle experience and knew what they were doing.

Naruto spoke first, deciding to get in an early hit. ''Katsu!, rush in with Extreme Speed and when you're close use Power-Up Punch!'' Everyone gasped when Katsu vanished from his spot with a shiner and appeared in the air, right above the head of the great rock snake, his fist cocked back with a bright orange coat covering it.

The entire stone families eyes actually opened wide with surprise as well as Misty 'Wow, Fast!' were the collective thoughts of everyone bar Naruto as he shook his head. What happened to taking it easy?.

Thinking fast, Brock went on the defensive ''Onix Harden and use Bide! Try and hold on for as long as you can!'' Onix was covered in a metallic shine as he closed his eyes and braced for impact. Katsu's fist slammed down into the head of the rock snake, dealing a super-effective attack with massive damage. Onix's face met the ground with a loud crash, kicking up dust from the force. Brock gritted his teeth and sent his family that look, the one that stopped them from doing something they shouldn't do. He knew what they were about to do and it would've hurt both his and Onix's pride.

Above in The Stands Looking Down:

The audience looked on in wonder, that was some damage!. Misty looked over at the stone family as they stood up from their seats, their look of wonder and awe replaced by a look of worry and concern. They were quick to sit back down as the eldest of them sent them Thatlook. The one that that he used whenever they were about to do something stupid.

Some of them groaned in annoyance but they all kept that same look as they looked at the dust cloud covering the field from them along with the fate of their brothers Onix. Misty watched as Forest gripped the handle tightly and barely picked up his faint whisper of ''you got this big brother, we all believe in you'' Misty turned her eyes towards the slowly falling Katsu and shook her head. What type of training was he put through and what type of sadistic person put them through it.

Somewhere deep inside the depths of Naruto's mind, a great and giant fox was awoken from his fox nap by a sneeze. He just shook it off and when right back to his ever so important sleep that he seemed to need more and more nowadays. Probably nothing important, he was getting on in years now.

Back to the Battle Ground Below:

Naruto looked up at his Pokemon as Katsu was outlined by a soft red glow before it vanished with a trace. He called out the next move before he even fell to the ground. ''Katsu, Follow up with a Force Palm!'' The silver Pokemon's paw ignited a deep blue as he launched himself into the dust cloud. A great wind pushed the dust away from the battle field, Naruto just stood their, the dust not affecting him, while everyone brought their arms up to cover their eyes and faces from the air born dirt.

''ONIX!'' Shouted Brock in worry having heard his Pokemon cry out in pain before the dust blocked his vision. When he and everyone else were able to see again they saw the form of the great rock snake laid out with swirls in it's eyes, defeated. Brock gave the same type of sigh as he recalled his Pokemon. He knew he was fighting a losing battle but he had to try.

Taking out his second Pokeball, Brock called out to Naruto. ''That was some deadly combinations of moves I must congratulate both you and your Pokemon'' Naruto and Katsu nodded with identical cheeky smiles on their faces. ''But I must ask, I saw Katsu light up red before that second move, Force Palm I think you called it.'' Brock scratched his chin in thought. ''Why is that?'' He asked Naruto, curiosity in his voice.

Naruto looked at Katsu for a moment before looking back across at Brock ''Well'' He started, trying to figure out a way without giving away anything much. ''Before for I told Katsu to use Focus Palm I made him use something called Power-Up Punch Which boosts the users attacking power when the move makes contact with the opponent. Hence the red glow which signified the boost taking affect.'' Naruto finished as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Brock clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth ''Quite the powerful move'' He thought out loud. Taking a guess he asked Naruto to confirm his thoughts ''From what I saw, would I be correct to assume it was a Fighting-Type move?'' He sighed again when all he got was a nod from both Trainer and Pokemon. ''Thought so'' He rubbed his temples 'At least I'm not fighting the standard Grass or Water-Type Pokemon, that gets old really quick, but a fighting type.' Brock thought to himself as he looked at the Pokeball in his hand, his thoughts in turmoil.

Naruto, seeing Brock's internal struggle, called out to the conflicted Gym Leader. ''Hey Brock!'' He shouted getting the man's attention. ''It's okay to surrender to a stronger trainer. Nobody will think any less of you if you want to put your Pokemon's safety above your own pride'' From anyone else it may have sounded arrogant and cocky but way Naruto voice only held a strong and comforting tone to it made him see like he really wanted to help out his fellow trainer.

Brock seemed to pick up on that as he nodded reluctantly. Battling never really was his strong point anyway. So with a sigh he raised his right hand above his head and called out, his voice carrying in the silent Gym ''I, Brock Stone The Leader of The Pewter City Gym hereby forfeit the match!. Thus making the challenger, Naruto Uzumaki Ketchum from Pallet Town, the Winner''

Above in the Stands Looking Down:

Silence met Brock's declaration as the gym leader made his way to the victor while reaching into a pocket on the side of his cargo pants.

The Brocklings watched with mouths agape, that was a first. Never in the whole of Brock's gym leader career had they seen him willingly surrender a match. Not once. So it came as quite a shook to see him do so now. However, just from seeing that display of power from the challenger, they couldn't really fault him, even if they didn't like it.

Misty shook her head as she stood to make her way down the stairs. Just like the last time she watched Naruto fight, she was left with a sense of wonder and awe, his Pokemon were unreal and she didn't even know who his third Pokemon was yet! She had seen the weakest of his Team and now she had just seen the strongest of his team, she wanted to see the middle piece between the two.

As she made her way down the stairs, leaving behind the stunned quiet family she couldn't help but wonder. Were his eyes really glowing before the match or was that just her own pair of teal orbs playing tricks on her. It seemed to real to just be the overhead lights catching his azure blue at a weird angle. So, just who was Naruto Uzumaki Ketchum. She shook her head again, what she knew was that he was a nice and caring trainer who saved her life and had a dream of being a Pokemon Master.

Whatever that entailed, she wasn't quite sure.

Back With Naruto:

He and Katsu walked towards Brock, they met in the middle. Naruto and Katsu stood right in front of Brock as they joined their hands in a friendly and sportsmanly manner. They smiled at each other, respect in their grasp, nodding at each other.

''That was some battle'' Brock said finally as they took their hands back, his reached into his pocket again. Pulling his closed hand out he spoke ''It is my honour to present you the boulder badge'' he unrolled his fisted hand, palm skyward. Resting in his hand was a small grey stone like badge, Naruto took it with a steady and strong grasp, it glinted, just like his eyes but for entirely different reasons. ''As proof you have beaten me, you are one step closer to the league. Congratulations!'' Brock finished with a smile, despite his defeat.

Naruto threw the badge up into the air with a flick of his wrist. He snatched the small symbol of his victory and progress out of the air and held it out towards the light, a happy smile on both his and his Pokemon's face. Naruto looked at it was joy and confidence, he was one step closer to his dream and his determination was stronger then ever.

He turned around to Katsu and put his closed fist out towards the Pokemon, a gesture they had both adopted a while ago. The silver Aura Pokemon connected his paw to his trainers fist with a happy chuckle. ''We won out first gym battle Katsu, we are one step closer to our dream of becoming a Pokemon master'' Katsu nodded with a happy smile.

Misty ran over to the two as they celebrated their newest victory. ''Well done Naruto, Katsu, that was some fight'' She finally said when she got close enough. ''How is Katsu so strong?''

Naruto chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head bashfully ''Thanks Misty, my master has always said I had a knack for battling'' He and Katsu shuddered, surprising Misty and Brock ''As for why Katsu is so strong,'' He looked off to the side, his eyes glazed in a horror filled remembrance ''Lets just saw we had a brutal teacher and leave it at that'' He shuddered again, all of those beating he had suffered at the hands of his sadistic Sensei, which he called 'Training', flashed through his mind.

Just as Misty was about to put her hand on his shoulder to try and calm down his shaking, Naruto gave both her and Brock his Vulpixy grin, waving off their worried looks with his cheery smile. ''It gave me and my Pokemon the power to defend those precious to us so, it the long run, it was worth it'' He finished with his eye closed while Katsu nodded his head in agreement.

Brock and Misty looked on in silence, it wasn't long before Naruto opened his eyes and spun on his heel, turning towards the front door and started to walk out to his next destination. Just as he and Katsu where about to pass the threshold, Naruto turned his head to look at the two of them over his shoulder ''Misty'' He called to the orange haired water-type specialist ''You coming or do I have to leave you here with Brock?'' Misty quickly ran to catchup with Naruto as he left the gym, the doors closing behind her as she left.

Brock sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest. It must be nice to have a dream and be able to actually try and achieve that dream. His own dream was to become a world class Pokemon breeder/ doctor but with both his parents away, he was left to take care of his siblings, all ten of them. He sighed again, it must be nice.

Suddenly, just as he was about to leave to have his Onix healed the Gym doors burst open again, thinking it was another challenger, he spoke without even looking back. ''You'll have to wait, I need to get my Pokemon healed before our battle, come back another time.'' He froze, an angry frown on his face, when he heard the person speak. He knew that voice all to well.

''I'm not here for a battle'' The voice was old and remorseful, full of regret and shame. ''It's been a while.''

Brock turned around to face the man that dared to entered his Gym. ''Yes it has, a very long while….

Dad''

Outskirts of Pewter City, Route 3:

Naruto and Misty walked at a steady pace towards their next destination and to Naruto's next gym battle in Cerulean City. To Naruto curiosity and slight worry, Misty was more then a little hesitant about the idea of going to Cerulean City but decided not to push it, if she wanted him to know, she would tell him. Until that time, Naruto was more then happy to just provide her silent support or listen to the peaceful nature as they walked, him with his hands behind his head and her clutching her bag stood to his left.

Naruto smirked when he heard the rapid sound of foot falls on the dirt road and felt the familiar Aura coming up behind them. If his guess was correct, then they would be getting one more travelling companion on their journey.

''Wait up!'' Called the familiar voice of Brock as he came to a stop just behind them, crouched down, bracing himself on his knees, gasping for breath. Naruto and Misty turned around to look at him as he gathered himself. Brock stood up and readjusted his back pack ''Would it be all right if I travel with you guys?'' He asked pleadingly.

Misty looked at Brock in shock. ''What about all of your brothers and sisters? who's going to take care of them now that you're gone?'' She said desperately, they seemed like such nice people and she didn't want them to be left alone.

Naruto jumped in with his own question ''Also, What about your Gym? doesn't someone need to be there for that as well?'' Although his voice was not a desperate as Misty, it still held a questioning tone.

Brock smiled at the pair as he spoke. ''My dad has finally come back and has told me that he will take care of everything. He also told he that even if he failed at his dream doesn't mean I will fail at mine, so he gave me this chance and I don't want to throw it away'' He said to his hopefully travelling companions.

Naruto nodded his mind already made up but decide to clear something up first ''And what exactly is your dream?, if it's becoming a Pokemon Master them you'll have a little competition from me'' He said playfully, Making Brock chuckle and Misty giggle.

Brock shook his head he he looked out at the water beside the road, watching as a pod of Magikarp swam by, most likely a family. ''No it's not that, My dream is to become a World-Class Pokemon Doctor and Breeder. Battling never really was my strong point by I had to take over the gym after my dad left.'' His voice was soft and calm as he spoke his ambition, Naruto was sure that if he could see his eyes, he would see a sparkle as he declared his dream.

Naruto looked at Misty, staring her right in her teal eyes, His own firm and strong. Misty sighed, from the short time she had known him, when he got that look in his eyes it was almost impossible to convince him other wise. He sure was a stubborn idiot, although, she didn't really mind having someone else tag along. So with another sigh, she nodded her acceptance to his unasked question.

''If that's the case,'' Started Naruto as a happy smile broke out on his face while he gave Brock a thumbs up ''then we will be honoured to have the next best Pokemon doctor join us'' He finished with a cheer, showing his support for his newest friends dream. Misty just nodded with a soft smile, agreeing with Naruto's statement.

Brock gave them a smile of his own, glad that he was given this opportunity very few were aloud. ''Thanks you two you have no idea what this means to me'' He said, gratefully. Naruto just waved it off like he normally does. So all three set of for their next destination, looking forward to their individual dreams. One for a Pokemon Breeder and Doctor, One of Water-Type Master and another for Pokemon Master and Champion. What a varied and unique group this was.

Forest near Route Four, surrounding Mt Moon, a few Days later:

It had been a few days since the crew had left Pewter City, their trip through Mt Moon has surprisingly been very calm. Apart from a few Zubats here and there there wasn't anything to really talk out. So with the great Mt Moon out of the way, they decide to take a break and rest for a while. They found a nice clearing near the road a camped out for a few days, today was the day that they chose to continue on to Cerulean City, despite Misty's pleading not to. After she had told Naruto why she was so adamant against going there, he understood. He, however, convinced her that he need to go there for a Gym badge. So she, albeit reluctantly, sucked up her pride and agreed. didn't stop her from complaining though.

The sun was barely rising before Naruto was up out in a clearing, away from the sleeping Brock and Misty at their make shift camp site. Sat in a lotus position, eyes closed and hands closed and pressed together in his lap. Katsu sat in front of him in the same pose, both deeply frozen in meditation. Multiple Pidgey, Rattata and Pokemon of various shapes and sizes were sat near and even on the two as they sat like statues.

Suddenly. Naruto's necklace was set ablaze in a rainbow of colours covering the clearing in a mystic like glow. A few Pokemon jumped and ran for cover from the strange rock that hung from the blonde trainers neck. Katsu twitched as a white light wrapped around his body four arcs of blue and red energy came from his shrouded form and made their way towards the still Naruto.

Said trainers necklace produced four arcs of energy of pure white colour that shot at the approaching energy. They connected with a flash as they seemed to battle for dominance, it was not long before the beams from Naruto won out, creating four chain-like links between him and his Pokemon. Katsu started to sweat and breath heavy, trying to control the sudden power boast before it took control of him. He felt a supportive brush against his mind, making him push himself even farther for his trainers sake.

The four appendages on the back of his head lengthened and started to wave around in a non-existent wind. The fur covering his chest seemed to extend behind him on the ground, giving him a cloak like appearance. His earlier calm breathing turned laboured as sweat soaked his fur. He could feel his trainers worry over the bond but didn't have enough time to send back reassuring thoughts fore he was to busy trying to tame the power of Mega Evolution.

Normally, the only thing you would need to Mega Evolve Would be the activation stone and the key stone along with a strong bond between the trainer and Pokemon that was trying to Mega Evolve but that was for normal Pokemon only. Pokemon like Lucario that are in touch with their aura have a chance of going berserk the chance his higher the more powerful the Lucario is question is. So with Katsu being a powerful as his is, you get the picture. To counter this, after some brain storming with Kyu, Naruto came up with the idea of trying to do it will mediating to try and control the power surge along with the aura flux. This was their first try doing it.

Katsu panted as the glow subsided showing his Mega Evolved form to the world. After a few minutes both he and Naruto opened their eyes to look at the other. Naruto nodded with pride in his multi-coloured eyes. Katsu sent him a warm but weak smile before his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he reverted back in a shower of colour that floated up and disappeared. Just as he was about to collapse face first into the ground a red beam caught him and brought him back into his Pokeball to rest and recuperate. Naruto looked down at the house of his longest and strongest pokemon with a soft smile. They ,and he, were getting stronger and stronger each passing day, they were all going to be claiming the champions title before they knew it.

Standing up from his seat on the floor, Naruto put Katsu's ball into his bag and stretched, his bones clicking and creaking from their stiff positions after being still for so long. He was just about to make his way back in time to have some of Brock's amazing cocking, which they found out was much better then his own, not like his wasn't that bad just Brock's was better. However, a high pitched whine assaulted his sharper then human ears.

Naruto's head shot to the left. 'What ever that was sounded like it was in a lot of pain' Without his notice his feet were already in motion, carrying him to the source of the cry at a fast pace. Taking control of his body again, he pushed forward at a much faster pace the before, ducking and dodging all of the low hanging branches and trees. It wasn't long before he found the source of the cry and what he saw shocked and angered him.

There laying on the floor was a silver Eevee looking blooded and beaten with a smaller brown Eevee standing above it, pawing at the ground, yipping and yelping at the bigger Eevee, trying to support the Shiny Evolution Pokemon. Naruto could pick up small parts of what he was saying, (I'm sorry) and (it's my fault) even (please don't close your eyes) were some of the words Naruto could here from the smaller brown Eevee as it's voice dropped below his seaming super human hearing.

The silver Eevee raised it's head and licked the brown ones cheek trying to offer some sort of comfort. Naruto closed his eyes to try and bite back the tears, before he could do this though, he saw the destroyed remains of a Pokeball or two near the pair. He grit his teeth in rage, his eyes glowing a slight red in the shade of the tree. He took a breath to calm himself and stepped out of his hiding spot and made his way to the pair of Eevees.

The bigger Eevee's head turned to his direction and it jumped up with a speed that surprised Naruto considering it's condition. It bared it's teeth to Naruto when he took a step closer, pushing the smaller Eevee behind it's bigger body, ignoring the yells of (Don't Artemis, you need to rest) from the brown Eevee.

(Stay behind me Apollo) Said the silver Eevee named Artemis, it's voice soft and feminine but was laced with a badly hidden pain and exhausted. Artemis growled dangerous when Naruto took another slow step forward. (Stay back human one step closer and I'll rip your throat out) Her teeth glinted ominously drawing attention to her long fangs. (Apollo, when I say now, Run) She whispered to the aforementioned Eevee behind, hiding her wince when she applied to much weight to her right foreleg, blood running down at an alarming rate.

Naruto raised his hands in a placating manner, trying to defuse the tense situation. ''I'm here to help.'' He said in a calm and comforting tone, he saw Artemis's legs muscles loosen but her growling stayed the same. Naruto pushed more of his Aura out in to the air in hopes of calming her and the Eevee behind her down some more, even if it was only slightly. ''I promise that I won't hurt you, or that Eevee behind you. You have my word'' He spoke with a strong warm tone, one that screamed friendly. He took a step forward and when he saw that nether reacted he took another but froze when her growling got louder.

Not taking her eyes off the human, Artemis spoke to her younger brother (When I say count down to go, I'll jump at the Human you will run and don't look back) Just as Apollo was about to argue back she cut him off (NO LISTEN TO ME) she yelled, startling the other Eevee into silence. She sighed as she spoke again (I promised Mom and Dad that I would take care of you) Artemis sent Apollo a soft smile, taking her eyes off of Naruto for a split second. (and I plan… to… do… just… tha-) She was cut off as she collapsed, her strength leaving her, her blood running out across the grass, her breath coming out in short wheezes.

(ARTIMES!) Yelled Apollo as he ran to her side, licking her wounds, trying to stop the blood. (PLEASE DON'T DIE) He screamed, his young and childlike voice stricken with grief (We've already lost mom and dad) He nudged her side his tears wetting her silver fur. (don't leave me too, you're the only one left you can't die. You always were the strongest out of the family, come you're invisible, I could never beat you. If you die I'll seem really weak and we can't let that happen.) he tried to laugh but it just came out like a wet series of breaths. (Don't leave me alone sister.) He whispered, the despair think in the air (I don't want to be alone) He dropped like a dead body beside his sister, listening to her breathing, they were coming fewer and fewer now. (please) His voice barely a whisper on the wind but the wind carried to Naruto, breaking his heart.

''Screw this'' Declared Naruto as he rushed forward, his Aura powering up along with his Psychic. He came to a sliding stop right next to the badly bleeding Eevee and when her heard the weak growling he snapped. ''Be quiet!, if you want your sister to live let me take a look at her!'' His loud and demanding voice silenced any protest. Mainly because of the volume but also because of the confusion of how he knew they were related. Apollo's eyes widened when Naruto's hands were coated in a soft pink as he ran them over Artemis's body. Right before his eyes all of the critical wounds closed up, leaving behind her blood coated silver fur.

Soon Naruto slumped back on his ass, sweat dripping down his brow, breathing heavy but with a happy smile. After taking a few gulps of air, he gave Apollo a tired smile. ''I've stopped the bleeding and closed all of the main wounds. She is unconscious, she should however wake soon but she will live'' He summed up, giving Apollo his Vulpixy grin.

Apollo looked up at this Human with his mouth agape. Was that Heal Pulse, a Pokemon move?! How did a Human know a Pokemon move?! His dad always said that it was impossible unless they were a (Aura Guardian) he breathed out in an awed tone. Naruto chuckled as he nodded his head while reaching over the scratch Apollo behind the ear. The young Pokemon purred in bless at the action and pushed into the hand, wanting more. (Wait) He said pulling back (Can you understand me?) He asked, looking the blond trainer in the eye.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head, his vulpixy grin still in place from earlier. ''Yeah, I can understand most, if not all, Pokemon because of my mastery over my Aura.'' He stuck his hand out to the brown Eevee, making the small Pokemon look at it in confusion and curiosity. ''My name's Naruto Uzumaki Ketchum, it's nice to meet you Apollo'' He tilted his head to the side while scratching his chin ''That is your name right, sorry if I got it wrong. Might of misheard it in the excitement'' He gave Apollo a sheepish grin.

Apollo nodded stupidly, an Aura Guardian, a really life Aura Guardian. And Aura Guardian was right in front of him and saved his sisters life. Wow!. (I've always wanted to meet an Aura Guardian after our dad told us about them when we were kids) He shook his head while looking down at his sister, happy that she was breathing easy, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest. (Never thought I would have the privilege to meet one though) He mused.

Naruto laughed for a bit before calming down, already feeling his energy come back to him. His vitality always stunned him and everyone around him but he wasn't complaining and neither will his wife said one of Professor Oaks assistants, before his female co-worker punched him with a blush. Whatever that meant. After a few moments of silence Naruto spoke up again ''I'm sorry to ask this but why was she in such a state anyway? What happened?'' He asked but regretted it almost immediately when he saw Apollo's eyes darken while he continued to watch over hi sister's sleeping form.

Apollo spoke with a dangerous tone, his voice almost an animalistic growl (Our last Trainer) He spat out the word word with such anger it almost made Naruto flinch (Decide a no longer wanted us after we lost against a stronger trainers Pokemon and released us straight after the battle, still wounded) He finished with his teeth bared in anger, an anger one so young should not be able to produce.

Naruto's hand was clenched so hard he bled, his red life giving liquid coating the already blood stained grass an even darker shade of scarlet. ''What was his name and what did he look like'' His voice was so low, it sent chills down Apollo's spine, the slightly fire red glow his eyes held just added to the feeling.

Getting were he was going with this, Apollo was more then happy to describe his last trainer (He has dark blue hair and purple eyes. A pink shirt and brown cowboy vest, black jeans and white shoes. His name was Damien) Apollo smiled with a dark satisfaction when he saw the rage in Naruto's eyes, His old trainer was going to get what he deserved.

Naruto shock with rage. He was going to find this dirt bag and make him pay, dearly.That was a promise and you know him, he never goes back on his word. He took a few deep breath to calm himself before he spoke again ''Hello Artemis, I know you've been awake the whole time. I would like to give both of you an offer that I would be honoured if you accepted'' The Shiny Eevee slowly sat up to look at Naruto, wincing every now and then and nodded her head after licking her brother in thanks. ''Now, you both know that I'm an Aura Guardian and I would like to ask you two to join my team''

AN: And that is chapter 7 done and dusted. I have had a lot of time on my hands as of last so it thought that writing and realeasing a new chapter after the response last chapter might be a nice thing to do for all of my readers:)

This Marks three more chapters before the poll for Gen II Pokemon is down so get in there quick before you loss your chance, you never know if your vote will be the one to tip the scales.

I would like to say Thank you to 'Have A Little Feith' for the idea of the names for Artemis and Apollo for the Eevees. I would also like to than k everyone that submitted an idea for names, I promise, if I did not use your name now I will try to use it for future captured Pokemon.
