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 Three: Hoenn Region – Gray Oak

When the boat finally pulled into the Hoenn dock, Naruto felt as if he would burst. He was just too excited to sit still and had spent most of the time on the deck mimicking Taijutsu motions that he had seen Lee and Gai practice. He had spent very little time with any of his new assigned team, but had spoken to Jiraiya shortly about how he would go about entering the Pokèmon Contests with Kiba, Lee, and Shikamaru around. He was also told by Kakashi earlier that day, that the groups had been changed slightly. They would now be going in groups of two instead of five. It seemed that when they had gotten to the docks, Kurenai had to be called back to Konoha, leaving the girls senseiless. Jiraiya had come up with the new teams, yet Naruto didn't know who he had gotten paired with, and really he didn't care.

Awaiting for them on the docks was a tall man with deep brown eyes and messy brown hair, a dark purple shirt and jeans were hidden under a long white coat and at his side sat a black and yellow Pokèmon that Naruto identified as an Umbreon the moment he saw it. Naruto bent down and started to pet the Pokèmon as Jiraiya introduced everyone to the man. The man then introduced himself as Professor Gary Oak, and introduced Umbreon, who was nestled in Naruto's arms. Naruto smiled brightly at the Professor before following the man to his lap.

On the way, the girls all cooed over the Pokèmon and Naruto had to hold himself back from rolling his eyes. All the girls cared about was how cute it looks; he really feared what would happen when they got their own Pokèmon. The boys all started a discussion about the best attacks to use against certain Pokèmon, Lee quickly yelling up that any physical attacks were the best.

When the arrived at the lab, Gary introduced a few other people that were hanging around. A tall man with darker skin and black hair named Brock, who breeds Pokèmon. A shorted dark haired boy with a red hat named Ash, who was a former Pokèmon League champion. A girl wearing mostly red with brown hair pulled into pigtails under a red bandana named May. And a teen around their age with glass and black hair named Max. Once all the introductions were out of the way Gary led them into a large classroom and told them all to take seats. Naruto made sure he sat right up front and was surprised to find Max sitting on one side of him and Shikamaru on the other.

"Well I'm glad all of you made it here in one piece, that goes for you too Ash." Gary looked over towards the boy who was blushing and rubbing the back of his head. A Pikachu was now perched on top of Ash's head, which made Naruto snicker slightly and Max turn to face him. "I'm sure most of you know all about the Pokèdex and Pokèballs by now, and have hopefully done a bit of research on the types of Pokèmon. So I'll skip all of that and get right to the good stuff, handing out your starter Pokèmon." Lee and Kiba's shouts rang off the walls as Ino and Sakura started to giggle. Naruto shook his head and leaned back in his seat. He didn't mind which Pokèmon he started out with, all of them were good. Max however turned to Naruto and leaned close to whisper to him.

"What one are you going to pick?" Naruto looked over to him and shrugged. Max laughed slightly and adjusted his glasses before leaning back in his seat again. "I've already gotten a starting Pokèmon." Naruto looked over to him and watched as Max pulled out a Pokèball and released the Pokèmon inside. Naruto heard himself give out a loud gasp as a Ralts launched into Max's arms. "I found him a few years back but was too young to actually have a Pokèmon, so I promised to come back for him and I did." Naruto nodded his head and smiled as the Ralts looked over to him. Naruto hopped he would have that great of a relationship with his Pokèmon.

"Now I have twelve different starting Pokèmon here, three from each of the four regions. There are only three different types here, fire, water, and grass. If you were excepting something different, I'm sorry to disappoint but this is what you get." Gary cleared his throat and stepped back when Brock and Ash set down the tray of twelve Pokèballs. "I had a hard choice of how I was going to give these little guys out, but I have decided to let them choose. This way, the Pokèmon are happy and you get the best match up possible." As he said that Ash and Brock started to let the Pokèmon out of the ball. Naruto heard Sakura, Ino, and Tenten's shrieks of joy and glee at seeing them, but also heard a few whispered cools from the boys. Naruto glanced over the desk at the Pokèmon and smiled down at a few that made eye contact with him. "Now if you'll all please stand up and come up here. Don't rush; we don't want to scare them."

Shikamaru and Naruto were the first ones up front, having sat in the very front, so they were the first ones to get to see all the different Pokèmon. A few of the Pokèmon seemed to want to go back into the Pokèballs but others seemed very interested in the people around them. Naruto decided to sit on the floor and wait for one of them to come to him. He was patient, and he could wait for the Pokèmon to choose him.

Lee's shout of Joy snapped everyone's head over to him. Attached to the side of Lee's face was a bright green Pokèmon, Naruto had to snicker at that making Max look at him funny. Lee detached the little thing and held him at arms length. Gary introduced him as Treecko, the starter grass type Pokèmon from the Hoenn Region. Lee took the Pokèball belonging to Treecko and quickly moved to the back of the room to find out more about his new friend using his Pokèdex.

Naruto was a bit shocked to actually see Sasuke duck behind him a few moments later and had to hold back a laugh when he noticed the small dragon like orange colored Pokèmon holding out his arms for the stoic Uchiha. Sasuke glared at the Pokèmon but the small Pokèmon just glared back. Naruto covered his mouth with both hands as small laughs started to bubble up his throat. Sasuke hit him on the back of the head before picking up the dragon like Pokèmon and walking over to Gary. Gary told him it was a Charmander, and was a fire type Pokèmon from the Kanto region. Kakashi commented that he wasn't surprised that Sasuke got a fire type; Naruto commented towards Shikamaru that he wasn't surprised that Sasuke got a Dragon type Pokèmon, which made the lazy genius snicker.

Naruto noticed moments later that two more Pokèmon had chosen their owners. A small Squirtle was nestled snuggly into Hinata's arms as the small girl blushed and tried to hide in her coat, and Shino was attempting to get a very energetic Totodile off of him. A tiny Pochama had chosen Tenten, around the same time as a Mudkip had chosen Kiba. Tenten cooing over the Pochama as Akamaru chased the Mudkip around Kiba's feet.

Sakura's squeal was shortly followed by Ino's as the two quickly ran up to Gary with two different Pokèmon in their hands. Sakura had a Bulbasaur while Ino had a Chikorita. Shikamaru said it was kind of lame that they had both gotten grass type Pokèmon, but was silenced as a Cyndaquil snored loudly next to him. Gary handed out the three Pokèballs and as Shikamaru got up to leave, Cyndaquil awoke and then disappeared into his Pokèball.

Chouji sat quietly in the corner of the room munching on a bag of chips that he had pulled out of his bag when a Naetoru snuck over to him and started to pull on the bag. After a short tug of war, Chouji had Naetoru's Pokèball and they were sharing the bag of chips.

Naruto looked around and noticed that only two Pokèmon were left. A Torchic and a Hikozau. Both were fire type Pokèmon, but Naruto had a sinking feeling that neither were going to pick him. Jiraiya came over and sat down in the chair next to Naruto's head and reached down to ruffle his hair a bit as the Torchic hopped over to Neji who quickly darted out of the way. This made Naruto laugh slightly, seeing the proud Hyuuga genius running away from a tiny chicken like Pokèmon. Even if the last Pokèmon didn't choose him, that whole scene was worth it.

Naruto's worry however was misplaced, as soon as Torchic and Neji were out of the room, the Hikozau leapt into Naruto's arms and climbed up to his head. Gary told Naruto that this particular Hikozau hated large crowds and would always be the last to do everything, but always seemed to do it the best and flashiest. Naruto blushed when Jiraiya burst out laughing.

Hugging his new friend to his chest and clipping the Pokèball to his belt holder, Naruto and Hikozau walked out of the classroom. Most of the others had put their Pokèmon away, but Naruto was in no hurry. He would be perfectly fine if he never had to return Hikozau to his Pokèball.
