Chapter 3: Alder's story! Pokémon Gym Leader!

Confusion weighed heavily on Naruto's mind. The events of the past hour replayed over and over again and the only thing that plagued at his mind was one question.

Who is Team Plasma?

"Dammit!" he muttered as he ran a hand through his sun-kissed blonde hair "Why is this bugging me so much. They're gone now so they should be bothering me now." He sighed before whispering "I wish Kakashi was here, he'd know what to do. I mean, dad did train him."

At this he thought back to when he first learned of his father and Kakashi's connection with him.

Flashback start

Naruto leapt from building to building on his way to Granny Tsunade's, a large grin spreading across his face as he visualised the many different reasons that Tsunade could call him for.

"Maybe she wants me for some super awesome mission or has decided to get it over with and name me Hokage!" He laughed to himself as he landed at his destination.

Glancing up at the Hokage tower he contemplated which entrance he should use.

"Best use the front entrance; it might help show her that I am maturing." He decided before entering the building.

When he finally arrived outside the office door he noticed something was missing. "Where is Shizune, she's usually out here?"

He shook the thought out of his mind and reached for the door handle. He stopped when a familiar voice was heard yelling form the other side of the door.

"I don't care that you think he isn't ready! He deserves to know the truth!"

"Kakashi-sensei? What's got him so angry?" Naruto thought as he eavesdropped on the conversation "Probably something to do with Sasuke."

"Now Kakashi, you have to understand his father asked that Naruto won't learn about his heritage until he is eighteen or Chunin which he is neither-"

"And whose fault is that!" Kakashi demanded "You're the Hokage, you could have promoted him!"

"But he wasn't on the Third's list to-"Tsunade began before Kakashi once again interrupted her.

"You could have field promoted him! After all the shit he's went through; after Gaara, the Land of Snow incident, him bringing you back! I'm sick of wasting my time on that pathetic Uchiha while I could be training Minato-sensei's son! Hell, even if he wasn't his son, Naruto's the only one good enough to be a ninja, Sakura's a fan girl and Sasuke can't take anyone being stronger than him and demands me to let him copy all the Jutsu I know. If it wasn't for the fact that I would have the council exile me, I would have killed the little bastard by now."

Naruto was startled by the sound of something hard hitting of a wooden surface.

"Dammit Kakashi, you think you're the only one who wants Naruto to know his family! The only thing stopping me is Jiraiya and how he wants to tell the boy after his sage training. If you want to train Naruto go for it, but you have to talk to Jiraiya about telling the boy he is the son of the Fourth."

"Then that's what I'll d-"He was cut off by the sound of the door opening. Naruto stood there, his hair shadowing his eyes as he entered the office.

Its occupants comprised of a tall man with gravity-defying silver hair who was dressed in the typical Jonin uniform. His headband covered one of his eyes while a mask covered the lower portion of his face. The other was what appeared to be a young woman with blonde pigtails. Her eyes were a deep hazel while an odd blue diamond mark rested on her forehead. She wore a white kimono-like top under a green jacket, with blue pants. They both had a look of surprise and fear flash across their face as they saw the young Uzumaki standing at the door.

"Naruto-"Began Tsunade but she was cut off by the trickle of Killer Intent that flowed from the boy. It was then that he spoke.

"Shut up!"

His head snapped up and the two veteran ninja noticed, with growing fear, was the scarlet hue that the orange-clad boy's usual azure eyes had taken. He turned his head to face the last Hatake.

"Is it true, am I the son of your sensei the Fourth? That you would have trained me if it wasn't for the council?" After a few seconds of silence, the Jonin nodded. The teen gave him a hard stare, before a small smile appeared tugged at his fanged mouth. "I guess, if my dad lived, I could have technically called you my brother." Tears welled up at this and Kakashi approached the jinchuriki and hugged the boy who returned the hug with equal feeling. .

When the two separated, Tsunade spoke up.

"Naruto, you must understand that-"

"Call Jiraiya here, I want him here before we discuss this." The bloodthirsty tone in his voice had Tsunade instantly pressing a seal on her desk, and channelled chakra into it, causing the black marking to flash a vivid blue.

With a poof of smoke, a white hair man in red robes appeared in the office. He faced Tsunade and asked "What's wrong, that seal is only used for emergencies."

It was then that he felt the vile chakra that was filling the office, and turned to face Naruto.

"Is the seal breaking?" He asked as he began to make hand seal only for a fist to sink into his cheek, hurling the toad sage out the window. He landed on the streets with a roll and watched as Naruto landed opposite him, a look of pure loathing on his face.

"Naruto, Control yourself! Fight the Nine-Tails influence!" This remark was met with a laugh.

"You think that fur ball can control me! If it wasn't for the fact I'm going to kill you I might actually shake your hand for that." This confused Jiraiya.

"What are you talking about Brat? I've done nothing to warrant that kind of abuse." Suddenly he felt like he was being suffocated as the killing intent intensified.

"Done nothing, YOU KNEW WHO MY FATHER WAS AND DIDN'T TELL ME! YOU, TSUANDE AND THE THIRD. AND YOU WOULDN'T LET ME KNOW UNTIL GOD KNOWS WHEN!" This had Jiraiya freeze as fear filtered into his body.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about Naruto." A chakra arm slammed into his stomach, sending him crashing to the ground.

"DONT FUCKING LIE TO ME!" The young Jinchuriki bellowed in rage.

He ran at the downed sage, only to feel someone gripping his arms. He looked behind him to see Kakashi holding him back. He opened his mouth to yell at the silver haired Jonin, only for Kakashi to speak.

"Calm yourself little brother, as much as he deserves it, let Tsunade and I deal with the issue."

He watched as the red left the boys eyes, only for them to flutter shut as he passed out. Kakashi smiled at the boy as he picked him up, while Tsunade approached the downed Sage, cracking her knuckled.

"Everything will be ok."

Flashback end

"I wish you were here bro; you'd know what to do." Naruto muttered as he wiped some tears that had begun to well up in his eyes.

"Oi Naruto!"

At the call of his name, the shinobi turned only to see Alder waving at him. Sighing, the teen approached the former champion, a grim look on his face.

N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI N: BI

The red haired man invited Naruto inside his small house and directed the boy to the living room. After seating himself, he observed the boy in front of him and took note of his expression.

"Something troubling you boy?" He asked, as he removed the chain of Pokéballs from around his neck and placed it next to him on the table. He froze at the boys next words.

"What do you know of a group called Team Plasma?"

Alder stared at him in shock. "Where did you hear that name?"

Naruto cocked his eyebrow at Alder's reaction to such a, to him at least, harmless question. "A group of people claiming to be them caused some trouble over at the ranch. I and two other trainers battled some grunts. Who are they?"

Naruto watched as Alder slumped in his chair, his young looking eyes suddenly seemed to age a decade as he gave a weary sigh. Sitting up, he looked the shinobi trainer in the eye.

"Two years ago, a group calling themselves Team Plasma surfaced with one goal: the liberation of Pokémon. However the Leader of Team Plasma, a man by the name of Ghetsis, manipulated a boy by the name of N into being king of Team Plasma. The boy had been raise alongside abandoned and abused Pokémon, which led to him believing that all Pokémon suffered at the hands of all their trainers. The boy soon came into the possession of a relic known as the Light Stone, which allowed him to revive and capture the legendary dragon type Pokémon: Reshiram."

"Wait a second," Naruto stared at the older trainer incredulously "This N guy hated trainers for catching their Pokémon in Pokéballs and yet he used a Pokéball to catch a legendary Pokémon? That guys a hypocrite!"

Alder chuckled at the blonde boy's logic.

"That's exactly what Hilbert and Hilda said when they heard this story." A smile graced his lined face as he thought back on some event in the past. He was broken out of memories by Naruto's next question.

"Who the heck are Hilda and Hilbert?"

The former league champion stared at the teen in surprise.

"You've never heard of the Legends of Unova?" At the shake of his head, the man continued began his next tale.

"Hilda and Hilbert were two trainers from Nuvema Town, in the south east of Unova. At first, they seemed like regular kids, who got caught up in something bigger than themselves. But overtime, the two grew in power as they conquered all of the gyms. Soon they took on the Elite Four together, and then Team Plasma took control after they finished the fourth member. Whilst the Gym Leaders battled the Seven Sages of Team Plasma, Hilda and Hilbert confronted N. Hilda became the champion of Zekrom, the other legendary dragon type Pokémon. After a colossal battle, Hilda defeated N only to learn the truth behind Team Plasma's goals from N's own father, Ghetsis. Ghetsis then attacked Hilda, in her weakened state she was no match for his powerful Pokémon. In a rage about how Ghetsis treated N and Hilda, Hilbert challenged Ghetsis to a battle and, together with his Pokémon; he destroyed Ghetsis' team before physically assaulting the man. Unfortunately, he escaped thanks to a trio of people known as the Shadow Triad."

Alder finished his tale, allowing Naruto to absorb all that he had learned. After a few minutes of silence, the teen spoke up.

"So what happened to N, Hilda and Hilbert?"

Alder gave the young trainer a sad smile. He looked out the window that he sat beside and then back at the boy in front of him.

"Hilbert and Hilda left the Unova region, to search for N. The young lad had left after the discovery of his father's betrayal. I think that they believe that they can get the boy to return, while N wants to repent for his 'sins'."

The man then stood, stretched and then gestured to the door.

"Come; let us begin that training I promised you."

As he strolled down Rout 19, Naruto thought over the story he had heard form Alder and chuckled slightly.

"Those two sounds interesting would have been awesome to see them in action. Right, Snivy?"

"Sniv vy!" Cried the snake-like Pokémon, as it looked at him from its perch on the blonde teen's shoulder. The training had definitely been worth it as both Pokémon had jumped in levels of power. As he had left, Naruto scanned his two Pokémon to learn their new stats.

"NAME: SNIVY.GENDER: FEMALE. LEVEL: 15. MOVES: TACKLE, LEER, VINE WHIP, GROWTH."

"NAME: RIOLU.GENDER: MALE. LEVEL: 14. MOVES: QUICK ATTACK, FORCE PALM, ENDURE, COUNTER."

"Damn, you guys got strong." He had muttered as he returned the Pokédex to his pocket.

Naruto was snapped back to the present as he crashed into something hard, yet soft at the same time. Whatever he had hit was sent sprawling to the ground, whilst he staggered slightly, shaking his head to regain his bearings.

"Oh, man I'm so sorry. Are you ok..." His words died in his throat as he took in the figure lying on the ground.

She was a short girl, who looked to be around the same age as Naruto, give or take a few years, with waist length wavy brown hair and sapphire blue eyes. A small flower was tucked in her hair, the stalk hidden amongst the chocolate tresses. She wore a sun yellow tank top under a white unbuttoned shirt and a denim skirt and yellow converse covered her feet.

"Ow, my head." The girl moaned as she clutched at said body part. Naruto quickly snapped out of his day dream as he walked over to the downed girl, holding out a hand to help her up.

"I'm sorry; I should have been paying attention to my surroundings." He laughed sheepishly whilst rubbing the back of his head with his other hand. The girl stared at him for a few seconds, and then smiled and accepted the outstretched hand. Naruto tugged her to her feet, only for her to stumble. Fortunately, Naruto was able to catch her by latching onto her upper arms. Thanking the blonde teen the girl dusted herself off, she held out her hand in greeting.

"I'm Hannah, Hannah Rider."

Grinning, Naruto took the hand and, after an idea popped into his head, kissed the back of her hand. He looked up and smiled at her before introducing himself.

"Naruto Uzumaki; pleased to meet you Hannah."

The now identified Hannah pulled her hand away, a crimson blushed dusted her cheeks. The former shinobi felt a burst of cockiness flow through him as he saw the brunette girl rub the back of the hand that he had kissed. He doubted that he could get that reaction out of a girl back in the Hidden Leaf.

Except Hinata of course. Not that Naruto understood the shy girl's reaction to being near him.

"Hey!" Her sudden shout startled Naruto as he whipped round to see what had shocked the girl so much.

"What! What's wrong?" He asked, looking round to see if anything had jumped out at them to attack. It was then that he noticed she was pointing at his shoulder. He glanced at his left shoulder only to see Snivy staring the brunette teen in confusion.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked, taken aback at the girls reaction to what should be a natural sight to her.

"How did you get one of those Pokémon? The only way to one of them is to be picked by the Professors Juniper. Next you'll tell me you have a Pokédex." Silence filled the air as Hannah stared at the blonde, a look of disbelief on her face. "You have a Pokédex don't you."

The last Uzumaki grinned sheepishly as he pulled out the device in question. She stared at him before shaking her head in amazement.

"Only a week into my journey, and I run into a Dex Holder."

Naruto just smiled, returning the device to his pocket before curiosity struck him.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what are you doing out here?" He asked staring at the girl who simply smiled and patted her belt which, Naruto just realised, held her Pokéballs.

"The Aspertia Gym is opening today so I was getting some training in. It's a Normal-Type Gym so I definitely have a good advantage."

Naruto cocked a brow at this, a smirk worming its way onto his face.

"Oh really, and why is that?"

Hannah smirked back at the young Jinchuriki as she plucked a Pokéball from her hip and tossed it into the air.

"Come on out!"

In the familiar flash of white energy, a new Pokémon appeared with a cry of "Foo!"

When the light dispersed, the Pokémon's appearance was revealed. It was a grey, bi-pedal mouse like creature with blue limbs. It was about the same height as Riolu. Naruto pulled out his Pokédex and scanned the new Pokémon.

"Meinfoo. The Martial Arts Pokémon. It takes pride in the speed at which it can use moves. What it loses in power, it makes up for in quantity."

"Hey, your Pokémon is different from the one on the screen." Said Naruto, as he alternated from looking at the Pokémon on the ground to the picture on the screen.

While the Meinfoo was grey with blue limbs, the one registered on the Pokédex had a cream body with maroon limbs.

"Yeah, Meinfoo is what people call a shiny Pokémon. They are really rare and there is a legend that shiny Pokémon are a result of a regular Pokémon being blessed by the gods."

"That sounds awesome!" Meinfoo let out a happy chirp at the praise it was receiving. Hannah then returned her starter to its portable 'home'.

"So are you going to try to beat the Aspertia Leader?" She asked as she returned Meinfoo's Pokéball to her waist.

Naruto nodded "Yeah it sounds like a lot of fun. Of course, I'll win no problem."

Hannah cocked a delicate brow at his cocky attitude "Oh really, then lets head there and see you win Mr. Big Shot."

Naruto smiled at the girl, who returned the smile in turn.

"Yep, definitely a better place than the Leaf." He thought, as they both walked down the path leading to Aspertia City.

"Oh, did I forget to mention that my brother is the Gym Leader."

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

"WHAT!"

AN: And...scene. Well, this was a fun chapter to write. The whole Kakashi scene was hard to do, so if you like it, make sure to tell me what you thought of it. If you didn't like it, well, tell me what you thought I should have done. Make sure to leave a review concerning your views and check out my profile for the poll about Naruto's next Pokémon. Also, tell me what you think about Hannah Rider, she's an OC I've wanted to use but never knew what to include her into. To be honest, Hannah was originally supposed to be The Jester in my Harry Potter/Arkham crossover but I thought it would be more dramatic if it was a Batgirl so I replaced her with Syephanie.

Next time on Naruto: Burning Ice – Naruto and his new friend Hannah return to Aspertia in order to battle the Gym Leader: Cheren. Will they overcome Cheren's challenges? Or will they fall to the sheer power of his Normal-Type team.
