"Talking!"

'Thinking!'

"Attack! Pokedex Entry"

Chapter 3

No Pain, No Badge

"So this is Viridian City, huh?" Naruto says looking the buildings. This being the first time he left Pallet Town and into another city.

"I didn't know that the buildings would be so tall," mutters Hinata, just like Naruto this is her first time seeing a city.

"What should we do first?" asks Naruto

"Well, it took us only an hour to get here from Pallet Town," Hinata looks up at the clouds as they got darker, "We just barely got out of the rain that is coming. We should get to a Pokemon Center. Don't you have to register for the Pokemon League there?" asks Hinata

"Yeah, let's get to the Pokemon Center before the rain gets here. Kurama doesn't like it when water gets on him." stated Naruto.

Kurama and Shirayuri follow their Trainers. With skies becoming cloudier and darker with said clouds. Rain soon came pouring down. Both the beginning Pokemon Trainer and Pokemon Coordinator along with their Pokemon just made it before the rain came pouring down.

"Wow, we just barely made it. It's really coming down." says Hinata

"We were lucky."

They go up to the counter. Nurse Joy smiles and greets them both, "Hello there! You just made it before the storm came. What can I do for you two?" asked Nurse Joy

"I would like to register for the Pokemon League," Naruto answered the healer

"I will need your Pokedex to register you," Naruto hands the nurse his Pokedex, "And you young lady? Are you needing to register for the Pokemon League?"

"No, I'm not going to battle in the Pokemon League; I'm going to be a Pokemon Coordinator," answered Hinata

"I will still need to see your Pokedex. You have to register just like those that register for the Pokemon League,"

"I didn't know that," replied Hinata

Smiling, "It's okay. A lot of new Pokemon Coordinators don't know that til they try to enter their first Pokemon Contest," Hinata gives Nurse Joy her Pokedex and a few minutes later, "Here you both go. You are now registered with the Pokemon League and with Pokemon Contests. I hope you two do great!"

"Thank you Nurse Joy!" Naruto says with a smile

"Thank you so much," Hinata bows her head to the nurse

"No need to thank me, I'm just doing my job. Is there anything else that you need of me?" asked Nurse Joy

"No, thank you. We have everything that we need." Naruto says.

Naruto and Hinata wait for the rain to stop after talking with Nurse Joy. Other Pokemon Trainers came and went. There were a few battles, they seen new and different Pokemon.

"I'm bored! I want to battle the Viridian City Gym!" Naruto shouted

"You won't be able to do that, brat." says a voice behind Naruto and Hinata.

They turned around to see a blonde with a busty chest who is wearing a green jacket. Standing next to her is a man with spiky white hair that tied in a ponytail wearing red clothing, and a woman with black hair that is wearing a black kimono holding a Tepig.

"Granny Tsunade!" Naruto says with excitement.

Naruto runs over to her and gives the busty blonde a hug.

"How my favorite grandson doing?" asked Tsunade

"I'm your only grandson,"

"R- Right!" Tsunade forces a laugh but quickly stops, "I came all the way here from Kalos to see you. I knew that I wouldn't of made it to Pallet Town, so we came to Viridian City,"

"Brat, you aren't going to battle the Viridian City Gym anytime soon," Jiraiya

"Whys that?"

"Because Viridian City Gym will only allow this that have seven other badges. So you wouldn't be able to battle the gym anyway since you just started your journey, Kid!" Jiraiya explains

"Let's go somewhere and get something to eat." suggested Shizune.

Everyone agreed to eat something. If they just waited for a few more minutes they would of seen Ash rushed into the Pokemon Center with an injured Pikachu. They all arrived at a nice restaurant that serves some of the best food in Viridian City.

"So Granny, what were you doing in Kalos?" asked the new Trainers

"I went there to study Mega Evolutions,"

"Mega Evolutions?"

"I heard of those!" Hinata quickly says, "So Pokemon can evolve into a stronger form, but I don't know how,"

"Very good, um, I never did get your name," said Tsunade

"M- My name is Hinata Hyuga, I'm traveling with Naruto-kun. I'm going to get a Pokemon Coordinator,"

"Ah, a Pokemon Coordinator! Now I remember, you must be Saya's daughter! But anyway, just like Hinata said some Pokemon can evolve with a Key Stone and a Mega Stone. In fact, I have something for you," said Tsunade.

Tsunade reaches into her bag to take out a box. She hands it to Naruto who opens it up to see a cuff with a stone in it, a golden plate with a stone in it, and a Pokeball. Naruto takes the Pokeball and throws it up into the air. The white light escapes from the ball to form a Squirtle.

"Squirtle!"

"A Squirtle! So cool!" Naruto yelled out in excitement

"Yup! While I was in Kalos I got this little guy!" Tsunade pats Squitle's head, "I got him for you, Naruto, along with a Key Stone and Blastoisinite that allows Squitle to Mega Evolve when he's a Blastoise,"

Naruto hugs his grandmother, "Thank you!"

"Of course! I would do anything for my grandson!" Tsunade hugs her grandson

"So Hinata, you want to be a Pokemon Coordinator, right?" Jiraiya

"Y- Yes,"

"What type of Coordinator do you want to be?"

"What type do I want to be?"

"That's right, do you just want to be a Coordinator just for fame and glory? To have the most beautifully Pokemon in the world? Or are you just doing it for fun?"

"I just want to do it for fun. My Mom became a Top Coordinator and married my Dad shortly afterwords. I asked her once why doesn't she continue to be a Coordinator and all she said was that getting to the top was the fun part; staying up on the top is the hard work. She didn't want to continue to try to be the best and focus all her attention only for her to have nothing left to show for,"

"That's what most people forget about when they are on their journeys. They forget that the journey has to end at some point down the road. Kushina, Naruto's mom ended her journey on a sour note, and your mom's ended how she wanted to end. The journey has to end for better or for worst." Jiraiya.

Hinata thought about what Jiraiya just said. Everyone in Pallet Town knows what happened to Kushina and why she came to Pallet Town. She was at the top of the world working her way to the World Championship to try her hand at becoming the World Champion. Then it all came to an end when her husband cheated on her. Kushina was so dishearten that she lose her title of Champion. Hinata wonders what could of happen if Kushina was still Champion for both Kanto and Johto.

Hinata looks over to Naruto. She wonders what Naruto would have been like if his mother was still Champion. Would he still be so kind and caring? Or would he see Pokemon only as a tool. It makes you wonder what could of happen if things haven't changed or not.

Naruto place the golden plate on Squirtle's back and put on the cuff, "How do these work?"

"You can't use them til Squirtle evolves into Blastoise. Are you going to nickname Squirtle?"

"Hmm?" Naruto thinks as he takes out his Pokedex and points it to Squirtle

"Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokemon. It Shelters itself in its shell, then strikes back with spouts of water at every opportunity."

Naruto rubs his chin thinking on a nickname. Squirtle in the mean time looks around before walking over to a nearby table. Squirtle jumps up onto the table that was a large pepperoni pizza. Squirtle being rude already decides to being eating the pepperoni pizza.

Giving Squirtle a deadpan, "Michelangelo, Mikey for short,"

"From the TV show?" asked Tsunade

"Yup! With Mikey eating that pizza is the give away. I take it Mikey isn't very strong?"

"No, Squirtle just hatched from his egg before coming over here. I did do some training so he won't be too fresh,"

"Thanks Granny!" Naruto hugs his grandmother

"Think nothing of it! Just promise me that you'll get to the Pokemon League and win it!"

"You know I will!" Naruto says.

The next morning Tsunade and Shizune leave and head back to Kalos Region and Jiraiya said that he was work in another region that they never heard of. A region that doesn't have any Pokemon that naturally live there. Then we find Naruto and Hinata at a crossroads.

"What way should we go?" asked Hinata, "Do we head through Viridian Forest?"

"Hmm… I say we go through Route 22!"

"But doesn't that lead to Route 23? Then to Victory Road?"

"You bet! What better why to explore then to go where we aren't allow to go!" Naruto explains as he gets more and more excited

"We- Well we could do that. We can try to see what's it lead too." Hinata gives into Naruto excitement.

-Route 22-

Naruto and Hinata makes their way through Route 22 once again with no Trainers in sight. They pass several patches of grass and a pond til they reach a building. Doing inside there are several statues of several different types of Pokemon. There stands a man wearing a very nice suit.

"Please show me the Boulder Badge," the man says

"What?" Naruto looks at the man strangely

"In order to go beyond this point, you must have a Boulder Badge. Please show me your Boulder Badge," the man once again asks

"I don't have the Boulder Badge," the fake redhead says

"Then you can't go any further,"

"What?! That's bull! Why can't I?!" demands Naruto

"Because beyond this point is Route 23, then Victory Road which is for Trainers that have enough Badges to compete in the Pokemon League,"

"But what if I just want to just catch some Pokemon,"

"No, this point on is for those that are ready for the Pokemon League. The Trainers that come this way are able to handle the Pokemon beyond this point, are able to battle the Trainers that can battle the other Trainers that are already there. This place is for people that are ready; you aren't ready for this place yet. Come back when you have your eight Badges, then you can go beyond this point,"

"Fine!" growled out Naruto, "But just you wait!" the fake redhead points his finger at the man, "I'll come back and I'll win the Pokemon League!"

Smiling, "Then I await for the day that you come."

-Route 2-

They pass through Viridian City to see a massive hole in the roof of the Pokemon Center. Apparently shorty after they left Ash came rushing in with an injured Pikachu and battle against Team Rocket which caused a massive hole but the Pikachu's Thunder Shock. Naruto stares the hole. Ash who was late to getting his Pokemon has somehow gotten hold of a really powerful Pikachu. They didn't stick around for long before making their way to Route 2.

'Ash, you're luck to have such a strong Pokemon, but does it listen to you?' thought Naruto

"Wow! I wonder if Ash is okay?" says Hinata

"Maybe, but that means Ash is ahead of us now! I won't lose to him! C'mon Hinata! Let's keep going and show everyone that we can be the best!" Naruto rushes forward with Hinata running after him.
