Author's Note: I happen to really like Lee and I think it's a shame that not so many people like him. Also I know Shino talks to much in this chapter. I'm sorry for that. I'm trying to keep them in character, while still making the chapters short and sweet. Oh first Gym Battle is in this chapter, and we have our first winner! No it's not Sasuke. HA!

Chapter Seven: The Fourth Team – Lee and Shino

"Yes Gai-sensei!" Lee's loud voice shook the Pokè-Center as he cried out to the monitor. The two boy's had entered the Pokè-Center so Shino could get her Totodile checked out. It had been acting very weird for the past two weeks. Actually it had been acting weird the moment they had left the other teams. It seemed depressed, and distracted. Lee's Treecko however was still sticking to it's owner's head. Making it rather difficult for the hyperactive ninja to see.

"Lee I shall be arriving in a few weeks for your first gym battle! Don't let me down!" Gai Maito wiped away a tear from his eye as he gazed at his favorite student. Lee was the only one who had contacted him out of his three students and he was starting to worry. Though Asuma had said that Tenten was fine, and Kakashi had said that Neji was doing good, it didn't feel the same. His students were suppose to contact him, why weren't they?

Lee nodded his head and said his goodbyes to his sensei. He knew the older man was worried about his former teammates, but Lee knew that Neji and Tenten could care for themselves. Lee looked around when the call ended to see Shino talking to Nurse Joy. The woman confused him, but he liked her. She reminded him of Sakura.

"Your Totodile will be just fine. It just needed to be placed in some water." Joy smiled calmly down at Shino before walking off. Shino shook his head and adjusted his glasses, they had been wondering through the desert looking for Pokèmon before Totodile had fallen ill. Shino glanced at Lee when he came over towards him.

"We have to stay here a while. Totodile is using their water tank to heal." Lee nodded happily and watched as Shino walked towards the computer system used to contact their home. Lee looked around the center and smiled at the few people who were there. His Treecko seemed happy enough just clinging to him. Lee decided that some exercise would do them both good and headed outside.

"Sensei," Shino said softly when Kurenai appeared on the screen. She looked rather pissed off at the moment, but Shino guessed it had something more to do with having to leave her students behind.

"How is your Totodile doing Shino?" Shino looked down for a moment before looking back up.

"He's resting. The desert was not nice to him I'm afraid."

"Oh no, I hope he'll be okay."

"Nurse Joy thinks so. So I will follow her word. She is trained in this sort of thing. Have you heard from Kiba or Hinata?"

"Hinata's fine. She caught herself a Poliwag. Kiba, well you know him." Shino nodded his head before wrapping up their conversation. Nurse Joy was holding his Totodile in her arms and he really wanted to see him. "Go, I'll talk to you next week." Kurenai's face disappeared as the screen went black and Shino walked over towards the nurse and his Pokèmon.

"Good as new." The perky nurse handed over the Pokèmon before walking off. Shino looked down at Totodile and gave him a soft smile. It wasn't a bug type, but it was starting to grow on Shino.

"Let's go see if Lee wants a battle. He's been restless for days." Totodile nodded its head happily before Shino and him walked out of the Pokè-Center. Lee had been making his Treecko do some simple Taijutsu moves, but had stopped the moment Shino had appeared. "Lee, how about a battle?" Shino's question brought a large smile to Lee's face. The two weren't good friends by a long shot, but Lee had hope. Maybe by the end of this journey, Shino would open up more to people, or at least to him.

The two boys stared at the gym in front of them. Sure they had come a long way, but Shino was sure that Lee wasn't ready for a gym battle. No matter what the boy said. His Treecko wasn't even close to evolving! But the black haired hyperactive ninja wouldn't hear any of it. He was set on winning his first badge, even if it killed him. Shino however didn't think that Treecko felt the same.

"So you want a battle a?" A tall brown haired boy with slanted eyes stared across the arena towards Lee. "How about I make this easy, a simple one on one battle." Lee nodded his head towards the man, who had introduced himself to the two boys' as Forest. He pulled out a single Pokèball and released the Pokèmon inside of it. Shino shook his head. It was just like Lee's luck to get the easiest battle for him. Rock type Pokèmon, like the Geodude that had just been released, were weak against grass type, like Lee's Treecko.

Lee smiled and watched as his Treecko got into a ready position that resembled his own Taijutsu stance. Forest seemed amused by the stance for a moment before his father yelled out for the two to begin.

"Geodude, Rock Throw now!" The Geodude wasted no time and quickly picked up the nearest boulder to throw it at the Treecko, but without Lee even uttering a word, Treecko leapt to the side avoiding the boulder. Lee smiled brightly before pointing dramasticly and yelling out his move.

"Treecko, Bullet Seed!" Treecko took a deep breath before a blowing out a stream of a hundred seeds, the Geodude wavered before spinning and falling to the ground. The Bullet Seed had been a direct hit, which meant that the Geodude would be very weak. "Quick Attack Treecko." Lee's voice egged Treecko on and he sped towards his opponent. Another direct hit. Geodude landed hard into the ground and Forest gapped at the green wearing boy across from him. His Treecko was good. "Tackle than launch into the air for another Bullet Seed." Lee called out and smiled trumphetly as Treecko landed the tackle, sending Geodude into the ground harder.

Treecko's Bullet Seed however didn't get the chance to hit as Geodude had gotten up and had started to glow. Lee blinked before starting to panic, if Geodude evolved in the middle of the battle, it would all be over for him. Treecko landed softly on the ground and watched as the Geodude continued to glow.

"Self Destruct Geodude!" Lee gasped and Treecko's own eyes widened. This was bad! Treecko wouldn't be able to stand against a Self Destruct at that close of a range. Lee started to panic and closed his eyes, what would Gai sensei do?

"Endure it Treecko, I know you can do it." Treecko blinked before curling up on itself and started to glow with a soft blue light. Lee was very confused but as the explosion for the Self Destruct went off he found himself praying harder.

Once the smoke cleared, Geodude was the first to be seen, laying unconscious on the ground. Treecko however was the surprise. He stood proudly in the center of the ring still glowing blue. Lee cheered loudly as Forest recalled Geodude. He had did it, Treecko had beat Geodude!

"Nicely done Lee." A voice sounded from behind him and Lee turned to see Gai-sensei standing next to Brock. The darker skinned man had been the one to speak. "Not many first time trainers can get their Pokèmon to learn a hard move like Endure. And that was a marvelous one." Lee was confused, Endure was a move? He didn't know that, he certainly hadn't taught Treecko it either.

"I'm afraid I can't take the credit for that Brock-san. I hadn't realized that Endure was a move, and I didn't teach it to Treecko." Brock seemed rather surprised by this, but Gai broke the man's silence.

"It seems Treecko is learning move from coping Lee's training than when Lee tries to teach him the Pokèmon techniques." Gai wrapped his favorite student up into a hug before saying his teary good byes. He was proud of Lee. As far as he knew, none of the other kids had gotten a badge yet. His student was the first!

"Congratulations on your win. Here, the Boulder Badge." Forest handed over the badge and then walked off; he had to tend to Geodude before to was too late. Lee stared at the shinny new Boulder Badge as he placed it in the tin that had been tucked away in his bag. Shino had come over to look at it and nodded his head. He wasn't interested in entering the league battles, but he was glad that Lee had done something great.

"Shall we move on?" Shino watched as Lee nodded and then smirked as Treecko latched back onto Lee's head. The small Pokèmon would become a problem if it continued to do that once it evolved. "Where to next?" Shino blinked as Lee focused on a sign up ahead. It read in big letters: Pokèmon Contest – Pewter City Contest Hall. Shino sighed, he knew their next destination. Even if he wasn't looking forwards to it.

"I wonder if Sakura-san will be there." Lee's dreamy far off look caused Shino to sweat drop. It was going to be a long walk.
