Title: Naruto's Pokèmon Adventure
Rating: T
Pairing: None
Summery: Tsunade sends Naruto and the rookies (including Gai's
team) to the Pokè-islands. Contests and Tournaments a wait, as new
rivalries and friends spring up in the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh
regions. Naruto/Pokèmon Crossover!
Disclaimer: Every aspect of Pokèmon belongs to Nintendo and Satoshi
Tajiri. Naruto and all its characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I am
not writing this to make a profit, just for my own amusement.
Author's Note: I've looked and looked all over the place and I
couldn't find a single chapter Pokèmon/Naruto story anywhere. So I
decided, why not create one of your very own. So I did! Each of the
Rookie 9 (yes Sasuke's here), and Gai's team are in this story. All
with their own set of 6 Pokemon and their own stories. I will be
writing each team as they travel together in different chapters. Also
for a few more things; this takes place before Sasuke deflects and
before Naruto takes off with Jiraiya. Tsunade is Hokage, and the Sand
Siblings (though I love Gaara) will probably not be included in this
story. Neither will the Akatsuki or Orochimaru. Oh and Gary, Ash, May,
Brock, and Max will all be in the story. Now on with the story!
Chapter One: The New Adventure
Tsunade rubbed at her temples as she stared across her desk at the twelve children standing there. Some were talking rather loudly amongst themselves, while others looked to be sleeping on their feet. Their senseis stood behind them looking rather bored and slightly pissed off, but Tsunade couldn't bring herself to care. She quickly slammed her hand onto her desk top, wrinkling the map that lay across it and making Tonton squeak in distress. All of the kids quickly shut their mouths and looked over to their leader with wide eyes.
"I called you all here to get you out of my hair for a while. The village is fairing rather nicely after Orochimaru's attempt at destroying it, so the council has suggested that I award the ones that helped the most. So…" Tsunade glanced around at the faces and smirked to herself when she noticed a few of them had started to frown. "Teams seven, eight, nine, and ten; you are here by put on leave and will be taking a ferry towards the Hoenn Islands where you will meet up with an old friend of mine, Professor Gary Oak." Tsunade closed her eyes as two boys jumped towards her desk, both talking at once, yet both screaming the same thing.
"What about my training? I have to get stronger to defeat him!" At the last word both boys pointed at the other, which set off a glaring contest which had most people in the room sweat dropping. The blonde haired blue eyed boy turned away from the glare first and crossed her arms over his chest while the darker haired boy simply shoved his hands in his pockets and closed his eyes. Tsunade slumped back down in her seat and smoothed out the map on her desk.
"You will be training but not the way you are used to." She moved slightly under her desk and pulled open the bottom drawer and then pulled out a bright white handheld computer. She set it on the desk and then pulled out a small palm sized ball that was red on top and white on the bottom with a small button in the middle. She sat that on the desk next to the computer and then straightened up. "This is a Pokèdex, it will be able to tell you everything you need to know about all the new creatures you will be encountering in the new regions. It will also allow you to communicate with anyone else who has one of them, and tell show you an interactive map of the region." She motioned for her assistant, Shizune, to come forward. When the mousy looking woman stepped up she held a very heavy looking box in her arms. She quickly set the box down on the desk and proceeded to give each one of the twelve kids one of the handheld computers. Each with their names and information already programmed in. Tsunade then held up the red and white ball and smiled as the blonde haired boy's eyes lit up. "This is a Pokèball. It is used to capture the new creatures you will encounter. Each person can only carry a total of six occupied pokèballs at any time. But you can carry an unlimited amount of unoccupied pokèballs all the time."
Tsunade quickly stood up and pressed the button in the middle of the pokèball and smiled to herself when a red beam of light shot from the now open ball to the floor. When the red light disappeared in its place was a roll pink, egg shaped creature. It looked around at the children before jumping up slightly and starting to dance around happily. Tsunade smirked when a few of the girls started to giggle.
"This is a Pokèmon, a creature that is native to the Pokè-Islands. I do not have many, since I am neither a trainer nor a coordinator. However I do have this one. This is a Pinpuku; I caught her while I was touring through the Sinnoh region a few years back. She is very helpful when I need an extra hand around, or just need a bit of cheering up." Tsunade sat down on the edge of her desk and watched as Pinpuku leapt up into the blonde haired boy's arms when he reached out for it. "Most Pokèmon are very good judges of character, and will not approach certain people. Yet others are drawn to some people. Pinpuku was drawn to me because of my healing chakra. But all of you may find others that are attracted to you for other reasons." She held out the Pokèball and pressed the button again making the Pinpuku disappear in the bright red light and returning to its ball. She then set the ball to the side and smiled at the kids. She could tell their interest had been peaked.
"Nah, Nah Baa-chan; when do we get our own Pokèmon?" Tsunade smiled brightly at the blonde who was staring up at her with his wide blue eyes. She knew that she had held his interest the moment she had started talking about a different training method.
"Naruto, you and everyone else will all be able to get our own Pokèmon from Professor Oak when you arrive in Hoenn. Until then, you can take the time to get to know your Pokèdex and all of the creatures in it. Also you can decide what you want to do once you catch your Pokèmon." Tsunade watched as confusion shone in the bright blue eyes gazing up at her.
"What can we do with the Pokèmon once we've caught them Hokage-sama?" A pink haired green eyed girl asked as she looked up from her Pokèdex. Tsunade wasn't surprised that Sakura Haruno had already begun looking through the computer.
"Well there are a few things you can do. One is to compete in the Pokèmon League. The Pokèmon League consists of a group of gyms that are spread by region. You fight the gym leaders for badges and when you collect all the badges you get the opportunity to compete in the Pokèmon League and if you win you are named the top trainer in the League." Tsunade had to shake her head when she heard a few of the boys shout out that they were going to be the best. The girls however didn't look to happy. "Another thing you can do is enter Pokèmon Contests. The contests are split up just like the gyms, into regions. Each region also has something called the Grand Festival which allows all the contest winners who have won five or more ribbons to enter to see who the best coordinator is." The girls all seemed to perk up at that and Tsunade was slightly surprised to see Naruto perking up as well. "The contests are open for anyone and take a lot of training and discipline for the trainers and the Pokèmon. No one has ever won the Grand Festival their first time through it. Same goes for the Pokèmon League."
A few of the kids started to take amongst themselves again about who they would travel with and what they were going to do with their Pokèmon. Tsunade watched with a smile for some time before she felt a slight tug on the hem of her shirt. She glanced down to see Naruto shuffling his feet. She patted his head and smiled brightly at him when he raised his head.
"What if we want to enter both the Pokèmon League and the Pokèmon Contests?" Tsunade smiled and looked up at the ceiling. It would be hard to enter both at the same time, but then it could prove to be just the challenge that Naruto needed.
"I suppose one could do that. But you must understand how very hard it would be. You'd have to train yourself and your Pokèmon extremely hard, keep your Pokèmon in the best of shape and make sure you didn't miss a single match. You would also need a lot of support from your friends." Tsunade watched Naruto's head drop at her last words, she felt bad for the boy and was about to comment that he had his team to back him up when someone else's voice beat her to it.
"And he'll have that support from me." Both Naruto and Tsunade's head snapped over to the window to see Jiraiya sitting there, his arms crossed over his chest. Tsunade smiled and mouthed a thank you towards him which he shrugged off. Naruto bounced over to him and was happily shouting up at him that he was the greatest sensei in the world. Tsunade shook her head and looked around at the other kids.
"You all will have to travel with at least one other person and you'll have to check in with your team's sensei at least once a month. They will then contact me so I know that all of you are alright. I don't really care who you travel with, or what you do; just that you are having fun and being careful." Tsunade waved her hand to signal that she was finished talking and moved around her desk so she could sit in her chair. Shizune quickly ran up and waved her arms about to get everyone's attention.
"Actually the council and a few jounins have put together a simple backpack for all of you." She opened up another large box that was at her feet and pulled out a black backpack with the Uchiha symbol on it. "It has pouches for you Pokèdex, and used Pokèballs. It's also got a pocket for all the items that you'll collect, such as your ribbons or badges, and a pocket for you to store some more personal belongings, like clothing." She handed over the black bag to Sasuke before continuing to hand out each of the bag. Naruto hung his head when Shizune failed to hand him one. "The council has also purchased a stock of unused Pokèballs and has given each of you a total of fifteen of them. They also purchased a transfer machine which will allow you to transfer any Pokèmon you do not want on you back here where we will store them safe and sound. Also if you happen to catch more than six Pokèmon, any extras will immediately be sent here and stored away." Shizune then quickly got out of the room, slightly flushed. Tsunade smiled knowing full well that the girl hated speaking in front of large groups.
As each of the kids filed out of the room, Tsunade had Naruto stay back. The blonde haired boy didn't once look up at her nor did he have the normal cheerful smile on his face. Jiraiya patted him on the head slightly but even that didn't get anything. Tsunade frowned before disappearing into the back room of her office, the room that had been converted to hold all the Pokèmon that the kids would be collecting. She returned a few moments later with a brand new backpack in a light orange color and the Uzumaki swirl on the back. Naruto's eyes widened slightly at seeing it and was about to grab for it when Tsunade held it out of reach.
"Inside are all the clothes you'll need for your trip. Make sure you wash them at some point. Also you have at least twenty Pokèballs in here and a few extra scrolls that are filled with your instant Raman cups. The bigger scrolls have your tent, bedroll, and other camping equipment, along with a few training tools." Tsunade let the boy have the backpack and smiled brightly when he started to look through all the stuff inside of it. She then held out a new outfit for him. It consists of baggy black shorts, a light blue t-shirt and a orange vest with the Uzumaki swirl on the back. Naruto grabbed the clothing and then leapt up into Tsunade's arms for a big hug. Tsunade hugged him back and then set him down on the ground.
"Thanks Baa-chan! I'll be sure to be the best Pokèmon Trainer and Coordinator ever!" Naruto yelled as he ran from the room. Tsunade smiled sadly and turned to face the long haired man leaning against her desk. She moved around and sat back down in her chair staring up at the ceiling.
"Take care of him Jiraiya, because I swear if he doesn't come back in good shape. I will make sure you can never sit, write, read, or talk EVER again." Tsunade smiled over at her old teammate before closing her eyes. Jiraiya took that as his queue to leave and quickly left the office. As he was shutting the door once more he quietly whispered back.
"Don't worry Princess, I'll make sure our boy comes back in better than anyone ever expected."
