Here it is guys. The final chapter! Although this one may be shorter than the previous two, so I apologize if it's too short for your liking. I sort of half-assed this one, so it may seem a little boring in some parts. I also did not add Ash's and Sakura's battle in here because I did not feel like it.

After you're done reading, I want you to pay close attention and read the author's notes at the end of the chapter because I have some important news to share with you all.

I do not own Pokemon or Naruto. The plot and OCs I do own. The idea of 'giving a pokemon canon character the role of playing big sibling to a naruto character' all goes to *Rinne-Kami* He gave me permission to use some of his ideas off from his story. His ideas that I credit will be applied to this three-shot.

On the lower hill of the grassy fields in the park two opponents were facing each other on opposite sides. On the left was Sakura and on the right was Sasori; behind them a crowd gathered around to watch. Each person was cheering and rooting for their favorite trainer.

"Hey Sasori-nii!" Sakura called.

"Hmm?"

"Let's make this more interesting. I say we have a double battle instead of a two-on-two battle. What do you think?" The hybrid pinkette suggested.

The red head smirked, "Hn. Fine by me." He then turned to look at the elder pinkette in the crowd, "Maylene, could you be the judge for this match?"

"Sure..." Maylene said as she walked over to the middle of the field.

"The double battle between Sakura Haruno and Sasori Akasuna Haruno is about to begin. Each trainer will use two pokemon and the battle will be over when one side's pokemon are no longer able to continue!" The gym leader explained.

"I'll go first," Sakura smiled as she took out a great ball and called her Purrloin over to the field.

Sasori said nothing, but motioned for her to continue.

A flash of blue light popped out of the ball and Vulpix materialized from it with a cry of her name.

The red haired teen silently took out two pokeballs and threw them into the air. His chosen pokemon were Donphan and Aggron, both seemingly male.

"Now that each side has chosen their pokemon, let the battle begin!" Maylene signaled for them to start.

"Okay Purrloin, start this out with Dark Pulse on Donphan! Vulpix, use Flame Charge on Aggron!" Sakura commanded.

The dark cat fired a vortex of purple energy towards the elephant pokemon while the six tailed fox pokemon charged towards the steel/rock type pokemon, her body being surrounded by red hot flames.

"Dodge it…" Sasori said calmly.

Both Donphan and Aggron jumped to the side to avoid the attacks.

"Donphan, now use Rollout on Vulpix! Aggron, use Iron Tail on Purrloin!" Sasori commanded.

"Vulpix, stop Donphan's attack with Energy Ball! Purrloin, go underground with Dig!" Sakura retaliated.

The devious pokemon went underground, successfully avoiding Aggron's tail and Vulpix fired a dark green orb of energy at the charging Donphan. The super effective attack worked as the elephant was thrown back and collided into his partner on the way who let out a painful, surprise yelp. They both crumpled to the ground in a heap and Sakura took this chance to call up another attack.

"Vulpix, use Inferno on both of them!"

"Vuuul-PIIIIIIX!" The small fox fired a huge vortex of blue fire at the two pokemon who were slowly getting up.

Sasori smirked, "Donphan, use Protect. Aggron, now you use Earthquake."

'Oh no!' The young pinkette thought in horror.

The elephant pokemon summoned a green barrier bubble, protecting him and Aggron while canceling out the fire attack. Donphan kept the barrier up for himself as Aggron let out a roar before he jumped in the air and came down with an earth shattering force that split the ground into pieces.

Since Purrloin was still underground, she took twice the amount of damage than Vulpix did. However, the super effective ground move mas more than enough to knock the poor fire fox out.

"No, Vulpix!" Sakura yelled out in despair.

"Vulpix is unable to battle!" Maylene announced.

The hybrid pinkette grinded her teeth in irritation before returning Vulpix back in her ball. Suddenly, Purrloin came out from under the destroyed debris with her body covered in cuts and bruises.

"Purrloin, are you alright?"

The purple and yellow cat shook the dirt off injured body and gave her trainer a small nod.

"But you're all hurt and-" Sakura was cut off by Purrloin's defiant call and her glare.

"Purr-loin lionpurr purr purr-lion Lion!" She jumped up and then crouched low to the ground, waving her tail in her opponents' direction.

"You still want to battle?"

"Lion!"

The young pinkette blinked in shock, but snapped out of it when Purrloin smacked her with her tail.

"Alright Purrloin, it's all up to you now. You ready to win this?" Sakura grinned.

"Lion!" Purrloin stood on her hind legs and put her paws up with a grin. She turned back around and got on all fours, hissing and baring her fangs at her opponents.

Ten minutes had gone by and the battle was still raging on. So far, Sakura's Purrloin had managed to land a couple of hits and do a decent amount of damage on both Aggron and Donphan. Even though Purrloin was exhausted, hurt, and close to fainting, she refused to go down no matter how many hits she takes. She was determined to fight until the very end.

"Purr-lion!" Purrloin cried out as she was thrown to the ground after being hit by a deadly Metal Claw attack from Aggron.

The devious cat pokemon was obvious to the worried calls of her master as she struggled to get up, but fell back down in exhaustion. Sweat poured down her face as she tried again while ignoring the jolts of pain shooting throughout her body. With little strength left in her, she managed to get up and maintain grin on her face as she stood on her hind legs again.

"You're…okay Purrloin?" Sakura whispered in awed relief.

"Purr…" She nodded and threw her furry head back, letting out a loud and powerful cry, "PuurrLOOOOOIIINN!" A bright white light enveloped her.

Everyone watched in silent awe as Purrloin's form began to change and grow bigger. When the light died down, there stood in Purrloin's place was a bigger cat. The pokemon had the body composition and the spots of a cheetah that was colored yellow. She wore a pink mask over her green eyes and her paws were yellow as well as her stomach.

"Liepard!" The evolved form of Purrloin yelled out.

A few trainers who were from the Unova region took out their pokedexes to check out this pokemon's data.

Liepard, the Cruel Pokemon and the evolved form of Purrloin. These Pokemon vanish and appear unexpectedly as they sneak up on their target, striking from behind before its victim has a chance to react.

"Alright, you evolved Purrloin-I mean Liepard!" Sakura cheered.

Liepard smirked and flicked her long sickle-like tail, "Lieeeh…"

"Now it's time to fight back! Liepard, use Assist!" Sakura said with a grin.

Liepard's front paws glowed white for a second before a dark green orb suddenly appeared in her mouth.

Sasori's eyes widened when he realized what attack it is, "Donphan! Stop her with Rollout!"

With immense speed Donphan charged toward Liepard, but the cat was ready for him. She stuck out her tail and flipped the elephant pokemon over her head, watching him go flying into the air.

"Dooonnphan…" Donphan let out a surprised cry before he took a hit from Liepard's Energy Ball attack. A small explosion occurred afterwards.

"Donphan!" Sasori looked on as he saw his pokemon fall out of the sky and crash into the ground, knocked out cold.

"Donphan is also unable to battle. Both sides now have only one pokemon left!" Maylene shouted.

Sasori frowned before returning the elephant pokemon.

"Alright Aggron, use Flash Cannon."

The unexpected attack caught Liepard off guard, but the Cruel Pokemon jumped up to dodge it and land behind the Iron Armor Pokemon.

"Shadow Claw!" Sakura commanded.

"Dragon Claw!" Sasori countered.

Both attacks collided and caused a small explosion that blew both parties back.

"Get back in there and use Iron Tail."

"Grroooon!" Aggron leaped forward with his glowing tail and slammed it on Liepard only to realize that the cat pokemon used Aerial Ace to avoid it.

"Now use Dark Pulse!"

"Dodge it…"

Aggron ducked as the attack missed and hit the ground behind him.

"What/Lieeh!" Sakura and Liepard gasped in shock.

"Finish this match up with Focus Blast," Sasori said with a victorious tone.

The monstrous steel/rock pokemon smirked and threw a huge white energy orb at the stunned cheetah pokemon. The attack caused a big explosion upon contact with Liepard and she was thrown back, hitting a tree nearby that caused her to black out.

"Oh no Liepard!"

It was dead silent for a few seconds before Maylene the referee broke it.

"Liepard is unable to battle! Therefore this match is over and the winner is Sasori!" Her tone was filled with disbelief.

A couple of people in the crowd moaned in disappointment while some others cheered with joy at the red head's win.

"A job well done Aggron. Now you take a nice long rest," Sasori congratulated his pokemon.

"Agggg…" The Iron Armor Pokemon sighed tiredly and slumped to the ground before he was beamed back into his ball.

The red haired boy sighed with a grunt before trudging over to the other side of the field where his cousin and Liepard were at.

"It's okay Liepard; you did a great job today. I guess we're not always going to win every battle we get into," Sakura sheepishly laughed, rubbing behind the cat's ears.

Liepard cocked her head to the side with a sweat-drop, "Lieheheee…"

Sakura smiled before bringing out a pokeball and returning Liepard. It was a good thing that she remembered to buy one two years ago because she thought it will come in handy just in case her pokemon evolved and well what do you know, it happended. Although the cat didn't mind being inside the ball, she preferred to be out and by her trainer's side most of the time.

The sound of footsteps crunching away in the grass caught the young pinkette's attention and she looked up to see Sasori standing in front of her, hands in his pockets.

"That was a great battle itoko. I really enjoyed it."

The girl stood up off the ground and gave the red head a cheeky grin, her fangs gleaming in the bright hot sun.

"So did I. Thanks!"

They shook hands, a sign of good sportsmanship, and took a look around their surroundings to see everyone gone.

"Seems like they all left…" Sakura mused.

"In that case, we should head over to the pokemon center to heal our pokemon," Sasori stated and left the area with the hybrid pinkette following.

Sasori slouched in his seat as he talked to the person on the other side on his cell phone. Sakura, who was sitting next to him and reading a magazine, glanced in his direction. She was kinda of worried because the red head had this irritated look on his face and his voice was laced with annoyance.

The pinkette slightly jumped when Sasori let out an irritated sigh as he ended his call.

"Ne Sasori-nii, are you…alright?" She carefully asked.

"Huh?" Sasori blinked, taking his hands off his face, "Oh yeah. That was just my boss calling saying that I'm needed back at the facility right away."

'Damn it! That blond brat better have not wrecked my facility or I kill him and that sugar-high, five year old lollipop head. I can never trust those two to look after something of mines without anything going wrong…' His left eye twitched in anger.

"Facility?" Sakura repeated in confusion, "Wait…you mean you're a Frontier Brain member!" Her eyes widened in realization.

"Hai. The organization I work for is called Akatsuki. All of us are frontier brains working under a leader and a co-leader. I'm pretty sure you heard of us," Sasori replied, trying not to give out too much information.

"I have, but there seems to be something more about your organization that you won't tell anyone. It's like you guys are hiding something…" Sakura pointed out suspiciously.

If Sasori was shocked, he didn't show it, "Maybe or maybe not. Even if we are, I am not obliged or allowed in any way to tell you anything besides what we're allowed to tell you."

Sakura narrowed her eyes, but didn't say anything.

"Attention Sasori Akasuna Haruno and Sakura Haruno. Your pokemon have been healed and are ready to be picked up at the main desk!" Nurse Joy's voice came through the intercom.

"Ah well let's go," Sasori said as he got up.

"Hmm…" Sakura agreed and stood up from her seat.

They walked over the main counter where Nurse Joy, Chansey, and Audino greeted them and took their pokemon back.

"Thank you for healing our pokemon Nurse Joy," The harunos politely said.

"It's no problem at all." Nurse Joy replied with a warm smile, "Take care you two."

"Yeah, thanks. Bye Nurse Joy!" They both waved before heading out the door.

"I guess you're leaving right now," Sakura said sadly.

"Yeah. I have to be back before nightfall," Sasori answered.

"Oh okay…" The nine year old pinkette mumbled, dropping her head to stare at the ground.

The red head teen reached out and placed his large hand on the girl's head, "I know you're upset and I wish I could stay longer to spend some more time with you and the others, but I can't. Besides, I'm sure we'll see each other again one day."

Sakura raised her head somewhat, hope shinning in her eyes, "Really?"

"Only if you can find me that is…" Was his light teasing reply.

Sakura took it as a challenge and let out a small smile, "Heh okay."

The young pinkette stepped forward and hugged him. They stayed like that for a while before Sakura released him and Sasori took a step back.

"Bye Sakura…"

"Good-bye nii-san…"

The red head turned around and took out a Dusk Ball. He summoned a giant Skarmory before climbing on its back. Sasori looked back to wave and then took off into the skies.

Sakura stared at the white clouds in the sky with a thoughtful expression on her face.

'It won't be long until I graduate from Veilstone Academy and become an official pokemon trainer. And when that time comes I'll go out there and find you nii-san, no matter what.'

"The next time you see me I will be a better, smarter, and stronger pokemon trainer…" She strongly declared.

With a satisfied smile on her face, she turned on heel and walked down the dirt path towards her home.

AN: This brings our story to a close. I hope you all enjoyed because I know I did. =]

As I stated earlier at the beginning of the chapter, I have some news for you all. Lately (or should I say a couple of months ago) I have been slowly losing interest in writing all these Pokemon-Naruto crossover stories (if you haven't noticed yet that's what most of my stories consist of). Because of that it's getting harder for me to continue posting these chapters.

I have made a decision. I am going to stop writing/posting Pokemon-Naruto crossover stories on this site. The question is I don't know if or if not I will continue these stories based on this type of crossover.

Now on to the next topic. What's going to happen to the sequel? Well I've decided that I'm not going to do it. Personally, I really don't think this story needs a sequel because I've stretched it far enough to explain all the events that took place in here that was orginally supposed to go in the sequel. Umm yeah, that's the reason why. ^^;

Until next time,

Ja-Ne…
