Wow... um... Okay how to start this off? Well the I shall start with the obvious. I am sorry it was almost been a year since my last upload. AN ENTIRE YEAR! I have no excuse, you guys and gals don't need excuses so I will just say that I am sorry, Deeply sorry. Anyway you have waited long enough I hope you like it because I shall have another one out once every two weeks if not weekly every Friday.

Anyway: You probably already know that Way they talk and what they mean so I don't feel the need to say it very chapter. Also I have no Claim to Naruto nor Pokemon, they belong to the owners that own them.

So Without Farther ado I Bring you!

Chapter Twelve:

Giselle felt her breath catch in her throat as the heat in the room rose by an untold amount. Her brow was caked in sweat as she struggled to breath, her clothing suddenly a prison. Her hands twitched by her side, her smug and confident smile melted off her face.

A quick look around the room told her that she was not alone in her suffering, none were spared. Even her chosen rock/ground type seemed to be having trouble coping despite his natural ability to withstand heat. Maybe because the full force of whatever it was pressing down on her seemed to be focussed on him. Looking across the field to her blond opponent, whom she expected to be worse off then even her, she saw a sight that would stick with her for years to come.

The blond stood tall, arms crossed and eyes hard chips of cold that would – should melt in the face of the fire pouring out of the monster he stood next to so easily. The same monster that breathed out a 'small' plume of smoke from it's long snout, strangely adding to it's threatening image.

It's baneful blue eyes looked at her through the smoke. No, that wasn't quite right. It seemed to be judging her, or looking right through her as if she wasn't even there, though that quickly left her mind, along with a breath she had be holding, when the heat rose even higher for a sudden second before the Charizard looked over to it's trainer with a huff.

Noticing it's look, Naruto sent Amaterasu a small sheepish grin in apology. ''I know, I know'' He said with a sigh. ''She isn't that impressive at all but I thought you would like to stretch your wings so to speak?'' It was more a statement that a question and Amaterasu got the meaning – 'I have a point to prove.'

With that she turned her head back to her soon to be opponent, read: victim, with a growl that Naruto seemed to understand. The blond nodded slightly his stone face cracking to show a feral grin that matched the look on Amaterasu's maw revealing the pearly whites of them both.

Giselle couldn't help but shudder and gulp but she pressed on anyway. This blond vermin insulted her, not with words but actions. The lack of care in both his and his Pokemon's posture made her infuriated. Infuriated enough to forget her surroundings and her earlier fear.

With a voice sounding much more confident then she felt, she called out the start of the match. Deciding to go first, Giselle shouted her command, ''Graveler use Rock Polish and go straight at it with a Rollout!'' Her hand outstretched towards the still calm and unmoving duo, making her grind her teeth as her Pokemon flashed for a second before curling into a ball and dropping to the floor with a heavy thud.

It kicked up dust and rocks as it spun in place, taking out small chunks of the floor for it's effort. Suddenly it seemed to have caught traction as it stopped spinning and raced towards it's target with speed a speed something of it's weight shouldn't have. The effects of the earlier Rock Polish boosting it a fair amount.

Naruto watched the grey ball of rock get closer and closer. Close enough to worry Misty and Brock but Masami stayed quiet, trying to get some sleep. When it was close enough that Naruto could make out the detail on the well kept crock and nannies of the quickly approaching Graveler, he made his move.

''Stop it'' Although he said it quietly and calmly, everyone in the room heard the power and command his voice carried. Along with the confidence that it would work despite how ludicrous it sounded.

In a show of loyalty and devotion, Amaterasu did as was asked without a moment of thought or hesitation. Her arms out stretched and claws opened wide braced for impact. When the impact came it stunned the crowd. Amaterasu stood there with a motionless rock being kept up with her arm strength alone, arms that didn't even budge or buckle when that type advantage Pokemon landed a direct attack.

''What was it you said Giselle?'' Naruto hummed, his finger on his chin and his grin still in place. He locked his icy blue eyes on the wide and fearful eyes of Giselle, his grin widening ever so slightly. ''Something about not willing with types alone?'' Not waiting for a reply, Naruto inclined his head to Amaterasu. ''Hows this for type advantage eh? Sent it back''

With a snarl, Amaterasu did as told and tossed the Rock/Ground pokemon up in a show of strength that everyone had come to expect. Pulling her arm back, her talons closed into a fist that lit up a strong white. Just when Graveler fell back down she struck with incredible force sending the airborne Pokemon back at Giselle with threefold the speed it came.

Giselle only had enough time to cover her eyes as her pokemon came shooting past her with speed that knocked her off her feet. The loud bang from the wall behind her that followed was sure to bring attention, along with the still form of the graveler lodged half way in it.

She tore her eyes away from the image of her pokemon when she heard footsteps, the only sound in the entire training room. Even the breathing seemed to stop. She froze when she looked up to see the intimidating form of Naruto, his Charzard still back where it laid the brutal attack on her pokemon.

Giselle flinched when his hand was in her face, looking up at his eyes this time. She expected to see the same cold calm look from the battle – Reality check more like she thought to herself – but instead all she could she was a warmth that made her blush. Taking his hand in her own, she was surprised at the ease he'd shown when he pulled her up to her feet with barely any effort.

''I have two badges, Giselle'' He began, staring her in the eyes. ''I have only just started my pokemon journey recently but I have had most of my pokemon at my side for years.'' Letting go of her hand and missing the momentary flash disappointment on her face, Naruto made his way back to Amaterasu who stood there, her tail beating the ground every now and then.

Not even stopping as Masami hopped up to her normal spot on his shoulders but he did scratch her behind her left ear getting a content purr in response as she settled down to sleep. Stopping beside his orange dragon, Naruto rested his palm on her neck and looked at Giselle with his eyes a bright blue again. ''It's because of this bond I have with them that makes them fight hard for me and makes me fight hard for them. A bond I didn't form behind some computer but out there in the world. Learning weaknesses and moves and how everything stat wise is good and all but it means nothing when you face a trainer who as experience with battles and his own Pokemon''

Reaching down to his belt, Naruto rose the Pokeball to Amaterasu who returned without a word needed. ''I know you're not a bad person Giselle, your intentions are good but your execution is poor. Maybe try to use positive reinforcement? I did and as you saw'' He lifted the shrunken Pokeball to his face and looked at it fondly. ''It worked wonders with the amazing Pokemon I have.''

Pocketing the Pokeball, Naruto sent Giselle a smile. ''I'm not sure if you will listen to me, hell I'm not even sure why I felt the need to interfere at all but I have done what I can. For all I know you might go back to being the school 'Trainer''' He muttered with a small amount of amusement before shrugging. ''But I need to get going, there are pokemon out there waiting for me to catch and gyms for me to challenge, burning good travelling time right now!''

He started to walk away towards the door, not noticing the lack of sound or responses and pulled out the pokedex to look at the time. ''Misty, if you don't hurry we might not make it to the pokecenter in time~'' He sang with a snicker as said girl snapped out her shock and ran to Naruto with a panicked look on her face, dragging Brock behind her with a shockingly strong grip.

Naruto laughed when she shot past and grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him out the academy, scared out of her mind about the chance of sleeping outside again. With all the bugs and the noises and the bugs! She was so fast that she burst out of the main doors leaving a trail of dust behind her.

Giselle blinked rapidly, her mind all types of muddled as she watched the slowly disappearing group vanish over the peek of a hill. The warmth on her hand spread to her cheeks as she coughed to compose herself. Turning around to look back at everyone, all of whom looked as stunned as she felt, and walked right to Joe.

The dirty blond boy blush as the admittedly beautiful girl walked up to him, seemingly struggling to say or do something, a conflicted look on her face. They looked anywhere but each other in silence for a good minute before they both grew too uncomfortable and tried to speak at the same time.

''Listen Jo-''

''Gisell-''

Both stopped, letting the other continue before Giselle huffed and rubbed her arm in embarrassment and frustration. Taking a calming breath she let a small smile of guilt spread on her face that caused Joe to almost go cherry red in the cheeks.

''It as recently come to my attention that I may have been wrong in the way I tried to help my fellow peers succeed in their studies.'' She shocked Joe by bowing low at the waist, her hair falling to hide her face from the stunned boy. ''If you would please forgive me and let me please try again. I know that I have been hard on you and that you migh-'' She stopped when a hand landed on her shoulder with a gentle touch. She looked up at Joe to see one of the biggest smiles she had ever seen on the boy's face.

''Now now, enough of that Giselle. You are forgiven, I would be honored if you wanted to try to help me get better.'' He sent her a smile that made her duck her head again with a pretty little dusting of pink on her pale cheeks, not that he saw for he was to busy staring out the window.

'Thank you Naruto, I don't know how you did it or why you did but…. Thank you'
