AN: Hey guys, PokeMasterShaun here with a new chapter. Now, I apologies for saying that the poll for his new Pokémon was up but being my usual idiotic self…I forgot to open it on my profile. But despite this I got a decent enough votes to announce the top three, with number one being the winner of course. Third place goes to…Psyduck (This one honestly surprised me.). Second place goes to everyone's favourite sheep…Mareep. And in first place is…Riolu!. Now, I will be asking you to leave me a nickname for Riolu in the review section. All of Naruto's team excluding Snivy will be nicknamed. Plus I've had people asking about Naruto's lack of concern with leaving, again you'll have to read on to understand. So with all that said, on with the show!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or Naruto. Simples.

Chapter 2: Floccesy Ranch! New Rival!
The trek to Floccesy was….uneventful to say the least. Snivy decimated most of the wild Pokémon while Naruto reflected on this new world.
"I've only been here half a day and already people have been much nicer to me. I should thank Sasuke for killing me…not really but still, its not like that stupid council would be thankful for me returning the emo prick. Plus Sakura wouldn't even give a damn about me, she would be too busy fussing over Sasuke. Well, at least Tsunade and Pervy Sage would miss me plus Ayame and Teuchi will suffer without me eating their ramen heh. Well, at least I can use this world as a fresh start and try to-"
Whatever he was thinking was cut short as he crashed into something rather solid. Falling to the ground he glared at the thing that he had collided with.
"What the hell! Why are you just standing in the middle of the road!"
The thing he hit looked round at him and grinned.
"Well what do we have here? If I'm right you are a new trainer, mind if I help you?"
Naruto stare at the man, taking in the mane of scarlet hair and the man's white poncho.
"And who are you exactly?" he asked only for the man to face plant into the ground, a large sweat drop on the back of his head. Standing back up, he got into a pose while a backdrop of fireworks appeared behind him.
"I am the greatest trainer in the region, men want to be me and women want to be with me. I am Alder, retired-champion of the Unova region!"
After several minutes of silence, the first thing that Naruto said was: "Pervy Sage?"
BAM!
Alder pushed himself to his feet, after recovering from another face fault and glared at Naruto.
"Damn brat, no respect for your elders. Anyway what do you say? Mind if I help you with training?"
After a couple of minutes of debating the former-ninja relented and agreed to Alder's teachings. Of course, that changed when he got to Alder's house.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WONT TRAIN ME RIGHT NOW! ISN'T THAT THE REASON YOU BROUGHT ME HERE!"
Alder bopped the orange trainer on the head.
"Easy brat, I forgot I had a prior engagement. Anyway, why don't you head to the ranch. You can train there for a bit before coming back here. I'll be done in a couple of hours."

"Stupid Alder. Wasting my time." muttered Naruto as he stepped out onto the Route 20 only to be stopped by a young boy.
"Hey, we met eyes so we must battle."
"Er…o-k?"
"Face my mightiest Pokémon!"
A pokéball was tossed in the air and released the glowing whit energy that vanished only to reveal….
"Patrat!"
Naruto stared at the small rat Pokémon before sighing. Looking on his shoulder, he jerked his head at Patrat.
"Snivy, lets go."
"Sniv."
Aiming his Pokédex at Snivy he checked its stats. Apparently all that training on Route 19 had helped out immensely.
DATA: SNIVY
GENDER: FEMALE
LEVEL: 9
MOVES: TACKLE, LEER, VINE WHIP
"Ok then, Snivy use Vine Whip!"
The snake-like Pokémon lashed out with two skinny vines which then smacked Patrat in the face who was sent back with a cry.
"Patrat use Tackle!"
The small rodent launched itself at the grass starter. Naruto grinned as an idea formed.
"Snivy, dodge by using Vine Whip on the ground to launch yourself into the air."
He watched as Snivy pushed of the ground via its vines while Patrat crashed into the ground where it once stood.
"Now grab it with your vines and use the speed to Tackle it!"
"Hey no fair! Its my turn to attack."
"Tch, this isn't a game it's a fight."
With a loud screech of "RAT!" the rat like Pokémon was sent flying across the field, unconscious. The blue exp bar move across the Pokédex's screen and pinged when it reached the end. A robotic voice came for the Pokédex art this moment.
"Snivy has reached LEVEL 10. Snivy has learned a new MOVE: WRAP."
Returning the fainted Pokémon, the boy threw a bunch of bills at him and ran off to the Pokémon Centre. Bending down and pocketing the money, Naruto let Snivy jump back onto his shoulder before continuing down the Route.
They had only been walking for about ten minutes when they were stopped by the appearance of a small dog-like creature. It was mostly blue in fur colour with a black pawed feet, black midsection and a black mask-like pattern around its scarlet eyes. Whipping out his Pokédex at the creature, who let out a bark of "Rio lu Riolu!" Naruto scanned the new Pokémon.
"Riolu. The Emanation Pokémon. It uses the shapes of aura, which change according to emotion, to communicate with others."
After hitting the stats options, Naruto examined the Riolu in detail.
"GENDER: MALE. LEVEL: 6. MOVES: QUICK ATTACK, FORESIGHT, ENDURE, COUNTER."
"Snivy, I think we found a new friend. Use Vine Whip on its paws and drag it closer."
"Snivy!" it cried as it launched its skinny appendages and gripped the Riolu tightly before dragging it towards them. The Emanation Pokémon struggled before it was lifted into the air and slammed into the ground.
"Release it and fire off a leer." Snivy relinquished its grip on the dog only to give it an odd look which caused the Riolu to shiver before it charged at the snake.
"Dodge it!" he called, only to watch in shock as the Riolu leapt up as Snivy jumped and crashed into its stomach, sending the grass pokémon into the ground but quickly recovered from the blow. Naruto grinned. This was the first Pokémon to actually lay a hit on Snivy since it hit level 6.
"Snivy, use Vine Whip to grab the Riolu and then use Wrap!"
Once again, Snivy's vines snaked toward the panting dog-like pokémon who didn't escape the oncoming vines let out a pitiful cry of "Rio!" The cries increased slightly when Snivy tightened its grip only for Naruto to then pull a pokéball from his pocket and enlarged it.
"Pokéball GO!" He hurled the ball at the downed Emanation Pokémon who was then absorbed into the now open ball via a read beam of energy. The ball landed on the ground with a slight bounce and began to wobble as the Pokémon struggled to break free.
One wiggle.
Two.
Three.
Ping. The ball stopped rolling, signalling to Naruto that the capture was a success.
"All right!" He cried, punching the air with his right fist. "My first capture!"
Looking at the ball in his hand, a grin split across his face.
"And so my journey truly begins."

After battling several trainers and wild Pokémon, which resulted in Snivy levelling up twice and Riolu four times, it was an excited Naruto that finally reached Floccesy Ranch. But this wasn't the reason the reason Naruto was excited. After remembering something that was bothering him, the trainer/ninja placed his fingers in the familiar cross shape and tried to channel his chakra. In a burst of smoke and identical copy of him stood to his right. Joy filled the teen as he still had the ability to use chakra.
After experimenting with all his jutsus, he discovered the only one that he couldn't do was the Summoning Jutsu. He guessed that as he was in a new world, this world wasn't compatible with the summoning world. So he couldn't inform Tsunade and Pervy Sage of what had happened.
This thought vanished when he entered the Ranch and saw something rather…odd.
Two boys were battling with two Pokémon he had never seen before. One was a blue otter like creature with a white head, blue body and navy blue limbs. The other was a black and orange pig with a red orb on its tail. He pulled out his Pokédex and aimed it at the two creatures, the pig first, then the otter.
"Tepig. The Fire Pig Pokémon. It loves to eat roasted berries, but sometimes it gets too excited and burns them to a crisp."
"Oshawott. The Sea Otter Pokémon. The scalchop on its stomach isn't just used for battle-it can be used to break open hard berries as well."
"So those are the two Bianca told me about." He muttered as he watched a rather dull battle. They seemed to be like the others and took turns to attack. All and all it was a rather unimpressive battle as the Tepig finally overcome its water counterpart. As the two returned their pokémon it was revealed who their owners where.
The Tepig belonged to a boy with long brown hair that poofed out of a red visor hat. He was garbed in a blue t-shirt, grey baggy shorts, black leggings with blue highlights and running shoes.
The Oshawott's owner had rather odd blue afro-like hair and wore a red jacket, navy blue pants and red running shoes.
Shrugging, he walked over two the two.
"Hey guys!"
The two boys looked at him in confusion.
"Can we help you?" asked the Tepig trainer while the Oshawott trainer narrowed his eyes at him, analysing his appearance. It was then they noticed the Snivy on his shoulder.
"Where did you get that!" The Oshawott trainer demanded as he glared at Naruto who glared back at him.
"First of all, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Second of all, Snivy was given to me by a girl called Bianca. She also told me about you two, Nate & Hugh."
Before either of the tow could respond, an explosion erupted from behind the large farm house. The three boys looked at one another before sprinting off in the direction of the explosion.
Three minutes later, they arrived on the scene and saw that they weren't alone.
No less than six oddly dressed red headed people where standing at the other side of the rather large crater. They were dressed in dark grey uniforms with an odd blue shield on their chest. As they turned, Naruto called out to them.
"Oi, did you bastards do this!"
This caused the group to stop and look at the trio standing opposite them. On of them spoke up.
"Who the hell do you think you are brat? Don't you know who we are." Naruto grinned.
"Of course I know who you are, you're the assholes I'm going to smash into the ground."
The malice that dripped from his tone surprised the group, but the one who had spoken up glared at him.
"For that, I'm going to enjoy taking your Pokémon brat. Go Zubat!"
He hurled a pokéball at the three of them, two others following his actions while the other three ran off.
Hugh and Nate unleashed their starter Pokémon from their Pokéballs while Snivy leapt off of the former ninja's shoulder. Naruto glanced at he two next to him.
"Take the one in front of you and when you beat them, we take them down." They nodded before starting their own battles while Naruto gave a foxy grin at his opponent who gave him an arrogant smirk.
"I'm going to enjoy this brat, Zubat use Leech Life!"
The odd bat like creature launched a small needle like object at the Grass Snake Pokémon who, from a command from Naruto, leapt out of the way of the incoming attack.
"Snivy, use Vine Whip to grab Zubat and slam him into the ground!" He ordered, the grass starter nodded before launching its skinny vines at the bat who couldn't doge quick enough. It let out a cry as it was slammed into the ground twice before Naruto added: "Now use wrap!" The grip on the Poison/Flying type began to tighten as it struggled to escape. His opponent swore before glaring at his struggling Pokémon.
"Stupid bat, use Bite on its vines to escape its grasp and then use Confuse Ray!"
Snivy cried as the bat pokémon sank its two pointed fangs into its soft vines and released it. Zubat took advantage of the grass type's pain as it fired an orb of flashing colour which stuck Snivy in the chest. A red glow appeared in its hazel eyes as it began to sway dangerously on the spot.
"Damn, Snivy return!" Naruto cursed as he returned Snivy t its pokéball and the returned it to his belt. He grabbed another and hurled it into the air with a cry of "Riolu, take over!"
The bipedal dog appeared in a flash of energy with a bark of "Rio lu!".
"Zubat Confuse Ray again!" ordered the Grunt as the bat sent another orb at the new Pokémon. Naruto grinned as a plan formulated in his mind.
"Riolu, use Quick Attack to dodge and get in close. Then use Counter!"
Riolu let out a bark of understanding as it used its superior speed to spin by the damaging orb and then slammed a azure glowing paw into the Zubat's stomach. The damage from Snivy's attacks had taken a toll on the Poison dual type and this attack proved too much for it too handle as it collapsed in a heap on the ground.
"Shit, return." The Grunt growled as he brought back his downed and snarled at the blonde teen. "This isn't the last time you'll see us. You'll fall to the might of Team Plasma!" He barely got two feet away form the battle sight before Naruto was in front of him. "What the?" He felt a hand grasp his shoulder. He turned and to his shock, saw another Naruto.
"Nighty night." The teen called before slugging him in the face, knocking him unconscious. But before he could drag him back, he sensed a disturbance behind him and barley dodged an open palm strike. He dove out of the way and glared at his attacker. He looked like Kakashi but with both eyes. The man threw a smoke bomb at his feet and when the smoke dispersed, the man and Grunt had vanished. Naruto swore before heading back to Nate and Hugh, who looked worse for wear.
"Damn those two were tough." Panted Nate while Hugh nodded. They heard someone approaching them and glanced up to see Naruto with a grim look.
"What's up?" asked Hugh, curious as to what could cause the boy to look so angry. Naruto glanced at him and sighed.
"What can you tell me about Team Plasma?"
Hugh froze at that and stared at the ninja. "What did you say?"
It wasn't a question, it was a demand.
"Whoa re Team Plasma. That's what the guy called the group he was part of."
Hugh didn't answer while Nate sent a worried glance at his oldest friend. Silence filled the air for a moment, before Naruto sighed in annoyance.
"You know what, never mind. I'll ask Alder when I get back to Floccesy Town."
And with that, the young shinobi turned his back on the two trainers ad headed back in the direction of town, unaware that he was being watched by the man who took away the Grunt.
"He had the power to duplicate himself, interesting. I wonder what else he can do. I should inform Lord Ghetsis of this immediately." The man then vanished, with no trace of him ever being there.
AN: And done. Phew, this is a lot longer than my last chapter and I feel that I got a lot more done in this. Naruto has a new friend and Team Plasma have revealed themselves. Who is the strange man watching him and who is this Ghetsis he is talking about. A new Poll is up to decide who his next team member is but that wont happen for a little bit. Make sure to leave a review as I love hearing about what you think about my story and make sure to leave a nickname for Riolu.
