Ch.5: The Ice Gym Leader and Ice Cream?
Naruto changed his clothes into an orange parka, black warm pants, and black boots. He wore a black scarf and orange gloves.
'Does it have to be so COLD!' He thought.
Kyuubi didn't mind it at all since he was a fire-type.
There was snow everywhere. On the trees, the ground, and on the mountains.
Naruto walked up the snowy path and stopped.
He saw a Glaceon. He took out his pokedex.
"Glaceon, the fresh snow pokemon and the evolved form of Eevee. Glaceon can freeze the fur on its body, and make it stick out like sharp needles," the robot voice said.
Naruto frowned. 'It can't beat the second gym leader since its an ice-type. I'll just leave it.'
Naruto continued down the snowy path and Kyuubi was next to him.
Kyuubi started to growl. Naruto looked at him.
"What's wrong, Kyuubi?" He asked.
'I sense an injured pokemon. A fire-type I think,' Kyuubi replied.
"Yes! I can have another fire-type!" Naruto exclaimed. He started to run then stopped.
"Uhh, Kyuubi? Where do we go?" He asked sweatdropping.
Kyuubi rolled his eyes and ran east. Naruto followed him.
(2 minutes later)
"Cynda-quil," Naruto heard. He took out his pokedex.
"Cyndaquil, the fire mouse pokemon. It has a timid nature. If it is startled, the flames on its back burn more vigorously," the robot voice said.
Naruto looked around until he saw a mouse-like pokemon buried under the snow.
He and Kyuubi ran to it and knelt down.
"It'll be alright," Naruto said softly as he pulled him out of the snow.
The Cyndaquil looked startled and the flames on its back burned more vigorously making Naruto drop him.
Kyuubi growled at it making it flinch.
'You idiot! He's the Pokemon Whisperer!' He said to the Cyndaquil.
The Cyndaquil looked ashamed.
Naruto scowled at Kyuubi and picked Cyndaquil up.
"It's all right. I won't hurt you," Naruto whispered.
The Cyndaquil calmed down and snuggled closer to Naruto's chest.
Kyuubi felt a little jealous.
Naruto took out a scanner and scanned the Cyndaquil.
Level 12
Gender: Female
Moves: Smokescreen, ember, quick attack, and flame wheel.
Naruto smiled at the Cyndaquil.
"What's your name?" He asked.
'Call me Suzuka!' the Cyndaquil said cheerfully.
Naruto smiled. "Wanna be my pokemon?"
Suzuka nodded. Naruto took out a red pokeball and Suzuka disappeared in to it.
(Crystal City)
Naruto was amazed. The buildings were tall and looked like they were mad from ice and the streets had a lot of—ice cream stands? (HINT! Which Vocaloid character like these kinds of treats?)
Kyuubi looked around and didn't look impressed.
'ICE CREAM? SERIOUSLY?' He thought. 'Meat is better.'
Kyuubi started to drool thinking about meat.
Naruto sweatdropped.
Naruto returned Kyuubi in his pokeball and walked in the Pokemon Center.
Naruto handed her his pokeballs.
"Can you heal them for me please?" He asked.
"Sure," Nurse Joy said taking the pokeballs.
Naruto waited in a corner since he was uncomfortable with all of the girls staring at him.
Nurse Joy came back 5 minutes later.
"Your pokemon are all right," She smiled giving Naruto back the pokeballs.
"Arigato gozaimasu," Naruto bowed taking the pokeballs.
Nurse Joy blushed slightly and said, "Have a nice day."
Naruto smiled at her and walked out the door.
(Crystal City Gym)
Naruto sweatdropped when he saw the gym.
'Ice cream? Seriously? First there was octopus, now there's ice cream? What's next? Leeks?' Naruto thought.
The gym was big and was white like the color of snow. It also had ice creams on it. (Author stifles a laugh in the background)
Naruto and Kyuubi opened the door to the gym and walked in. It was freezing.
"Why does the gym leader like ice cream AND cold weather?" Naruto's teeth were chattering and he hugged himself for warmth.
Kyuubi slightly shivered as well.
"AHHHHHH!" They heard a shout and a crash from the next room.
Naruto and Kyuubi ran to the room and saw a teen boy under boxes of…sigh…ice cream.
Naruto sweatdropped and helped the boy up.
The boy had messy dark blue hair, dark blue eyes, a handsome face, and was tall. He looked like he was 20 years old. He wore a white and blue overcoat, a long blue scarf, white pants, and black shoes.
"Arigato!" the boy said.
"Uhh, your welcome?" Naruto replied.
"My name is Kaito. I am the gym leader of this gym," Kaito said eating an ice cream cone.
'Where did he get that?' Kyuubi and Naruto thought.
"Oh, umm, I would like to challenge you to a gym battle," Naruto said.
Kyuubi nodded.
Kaito looked shocked a little.
"Really? I never knew you would past my cousin's battle. You must be very strong. Very few of them passed," Kaito said.
Naruto sweatdropped. "Uh, gym battle? Now?"
"Oh! Okay!" Kaito said leading the way to the gym.
Naruto and Kyuubi sweatdropped and followed him.
(Gym's Battlefield)
Naruto shivered.
'Its colder in here,' He thought.
"W-why I-is it s-so c-cold?" He chattered. His breath came out of his mouth and disappeared.
"Oh, so my precious ice cream won't melt," Kaito replied.
Naruto and Kyuubi face faulted.
The battlefield was wide and light blue in color. There weren't platforms but a white box on each side for the trainer to stand in.
Naruto ran to the left box and stood there.
"C-can you p-put o-on the heat at least?" He shouted.
"But my ice cream will melt!" Kaito whined.
'Can't he think anything else besides ice cream?' Naruto thought.
Then the referee came out with his flags.
"The gym leader of Crystal City, Kaito, and the challenger, Naruto Uzamaki, from the Whirlpool Country (A/N Scary how the referee knows where Naruto's from) will go against each other in a 3-on-3 battle," He shouted.
Kaito and Naruto took a stance.
The referee sweatdropped. "Begin!" He shouted.
Kaito threw a pokeball in the air. "Glaceon, time to freeze!"
A Glaceon appeared from the pokeball and took a stance.
"Kyuubi," Naruto said. Kyuubi nodded and jumped on the field.
Kaito smiled. "Nice choice."
"Glaceon use quick attack!" He shouted.
Glaceon zoomed to Kyuubi.
"Dodge!" Naruto shouted.
Kyuubi jumped out of the way and gracefully landed on his feet.
"Use flamethrower!" Naruto shouted.
Kyuubi opened his mouth and flames appeared.
It soared towards Glaceon and slammed her in the chest.
'What you gonna do now, Ice Princess?' Kyuubi taunted with a smirk.
Glaceon growled at him.
"Use icy wind!" Kaito shouted.
Glaceon immediately opened her mouth and winds that looked like ice blew towards Kyuubi.
Kyuubi got slammed and flew back to the wall.
"KYUUBI!" Naruto shouted.
Kyuubi got back on his knees.
'How's that for an Ice Princess?' Glaceon smirked.
Kyuubi smirked back. 'Not bad, but I'm not going easy on you anymore.'
"Kyuubi, use quick attack!" Naruto shouted.
Kyuubi disappeared immediately and slammed Glaceon in the stomach.
'What the hell?' Glaceon grunted.
Kyuubi smirked.
Kaito looked impressed.
"You're pretty good," He said.
"Thanks. You're not bad yourself," Naruto replied.
"Glaceon use water pulse!" Kaito shouted.
Glaceon opened her mouth and pulses of water shot towards Kyuubi.
"What the-" Kyuubi got slammed by the pulse of water and slammed in to the wall.
Glaceon smirked.
Kyuubi struggled on his feet and stumbled a little but regained his balance.
'I'll kill you son of a bitch!' He roared.
"Use will-o-wisp!" Naruto shouted.
Kyuubi jumped back on the field and opened his mouth.
He shot a bluish white flame at Glaceon.
Glaceon got hit and stumbled back.
She started to whine. It was burned.
"Finish it off with tackle!" Naruto said.
Kyuubi ran towards Glaceon and slammed her in the gut.
Glaceon fell over and her eyes were in swirls.
"Glaceon is unable to battle! Vulpix is the winner!" the referee shouted raising his flag.
Kaito took out a pokeball and said, "Return."
"Have a good rest," He whispered to the pokeball.
Naruto looked at Kyuubi and said, "Come up here and rest."
Kyuubi nodded and jumped next to Naruto.
(On the Bleachers)
A purple haired man was sitting in the back of the bleachers. His long purple hair was in a ponytail and two long strands of his hair were over his shoulder. He wore a long white jacket, white pants, and black shoes. He had a sword strapped on his hip and a belt holding his pants up.
He looked like he was 20 years old and was tall and handsome.
'The brat is good. No wonder Luka likes him,' He thought. (A/N Look up 'Gakupo')
(Dewdrop Gym)
'Someone is thinking about me. Please let it be Naruto,' Luka thought. She shook her head.
'What! No I don't like Naruto! I like him as a friend!' She thought angrily.
(Back to Reality)
Kaito took out a pokeball and threw it in the air.
"Go Sneasel!" He shouted.
A weasel-like pokemon came out. It had a bright red feather on its left ear and two retractable claws on its front and back paws.
Naruto took out his pokedex.
"Sneasel, the sharp claw pokemon. Its paws conceal sharp claws. If attacked, it suddenly extends the claws and startles its enemy,"the robot voice explained.
Naruto took out a red pokeball and threw it in the air.
"Suzuka, time for battle!" He shouted.
A Cyndaquil appeared out of the pokeball and the flames on its back blazed.
"Sneasel, use slash!" Kaito said.
Sneasel ran across the field towards Suzuka with her claws raised.
"Use smokescreen!" Naruto shouted.
Suzuka opened her mouth and smoke came out.
Sneasel stopped and started to cough.
"Use ember!" Naruto shouted.
Flames were shooting towards Sneasel's back.
Sneasel fell on the ground and the smoke disappeared.
Suzuka stood there with a small smile on her face.
'I did it!' She thought.
Sneasel stood up and growled.
'I'll tear your flesh apart, you little mouse,' She growled.
Suzuka flinched. Naruto glared at Sneasel.
"It's alright Suzuka. Don't let her discourage you!" He shouted.
Suzuka calmed down a little bit.
"Do you understand what they said?" Kaito asked.
Naruto explained to him about the Pokemon Whisperer.
Kaito took it well.
"Sneasel, use quick attack!" He shouted.
Sneasel dashed towards Suzuka.
"Dodge!" Naruto shouted.
Suzuka jumped out of the way and landed on her feet.
"Use flame wheel!" Naruto shouted.
Suzuka was surrounded by flames and charged at Sneasel.
Sneasel got hit and fell on the ground.
"Sne-sel," It said weakly.
"Sneasel is unable to battle! Cyndaquil wins!" the referee shouted raising his flag.
BEEP! BEEP! Naruto took out his scanner and smiled.
"Congratulation, Suzuka! You reached Level 13," He said.
Kyuubi grunted.
Suzuka smiled.
Naruto took out his pokeball and said, "You may rest."
Suzuka disappeared in the pokeball.
Kaito did the same.
"You're good," He said.
"Not to shabby yourself," Naruto smirked.
Kaito frowned slightly and took out a crystal pokeball.
Naruto took out a brown pokeball he created for a certain Evolution pokemon.
Kaito threw his in the air and shouted, "Froslass, time for battle."
(Bleachers)
Gakupo shuddered.
"Sure the Gaki is strong, but he can NOT beat Kaito's last pokemon," He said.
(Back on the Field)
A ghost-like pokemon appeared.
It had white hollow kimono with a red Obi around it. Its head looked like a water droplet and her hands hanged by her side that looked like ears for her face. She had no feet and floated in the air.
Naruto took out his pokedex.
"Froslass, the snow land pokemon. It freezes foes with an icy breath nearly –60 degrees F. What seems to be its body is actually hollow," the robot voice explained.
Naruto shuddered. 'I hope Akira can handle her.'
Naruto threw his pokeball in the air and Akira appeared.
Akira quickly bent low into her stance.
Froslass stared at her with so much intensity that Akira slightly flinched under her gaze.
"Froslass, use powder snow!" Kaito shouted.
Froslass attacked with a chilling gust of powdery snow at Akira.
Akira shivered at the cold.
"Get out of the way!" Naruto shouted.
But it was to late. Akira was blown away by the chilling gust and slammed into the wall.
"Akira!" 'Akira!' Kyuubi and Naruto shouted.
Akira struggled on her feet and growled.
'I hope that you'll melt, Ice Bitch!' She said.
'As if. I'm invincible!' Froslass chuckled.
Akira limped slightly on to the field.
Naruto looked concerned.
"You should rest," He said.
Akira shook her head.
'Troublesome women,' Kyuubi muttered.
Akira took a different stance that Naruto taught her. (A/N I'm kind of making the pokemon that Naruto captures have a sort of taijutsu. Heheheh…)
She bent her head lower to the ground than before and her tail was raised higher. Her right leg in the front was bent while her left leg was straight out. Her feet in the back were spread apart and straight.
'Night of the Fox,' She said.
Naruto smiled slightly.
"Use shadow ball!" Naruto said.
"SHIT!" Kaito screamed. "Dodge!"
But the shadow ball already smashed into Froslass, giving her critical damage.
"I think I should tell you what the stance can do," Naruto said. "The stance I taught Akira is called 'Night of the Fox' which is only for normal and fire type pokemons. It increased the speed of the user and makes their strength two times stronger than before. I've also created other stances for my pokemon to use. For example, I taught Kyuubi 'Red Dawn', a stance that makes him move faster and strengthen his senses. (Kyuubi had a smug smirk on his face) It is also very deadly for psychic pokemons and fighting types."
Naruto stopped to take a breath.
Gakupo and Kaito was shocked at this.
They didn't notice that Froslass already lost since she was weak against Dark-type moves.
The referee noticed and sweatdropped that no one noticed.
"Uh, Froslass is unable to battle! The challenger, Naruto Uzamaki, and his Eevee has won the battle!" the referee shouted.
Kaito started to suck on his blue ice Popsicle that he got from Kami knows where.
Naruto and his two pokemon sweatdropped.
"I LOST! WHY DOES KAMI HATE ME!" Kaito said in a dramatic tone as light shined upon him.
Naruto sweatdropped bullets.
(Outside)
"Here's the Crystal City Gym badge to prove that you've beaten me," Kaito said dramatically.
Again, Naruto and Kyuubi sweatdropped.
Kaito opened the light blue box and light shined upon it making the badge gleam.
'Where are these lights coming from?" Kyuubi and Naruto thought at the same time.
The badge was shaped like a snowflake and was pure white. It was like it was made from crystal.
"Before you go," Kaito said licking an ice cream cone that Kami knows where it came from.
Naruto looked at him for his answer.
Then the atmosphere became uneasy and Kaito had his eyes like Luka had when she yelled at the referee.
"Don't-make-the-third-gym-leader-sad-and-don't-make-her-cry," Kaito said in a scary tone.
Naruto sweatdropped and nodded.
Kaito smiled and the atmosphere became normal again.
"Have a nice trip!" He said.
Naruto nodded and walked down the path to the next gym with Kyuubi by his side.
Kaito turned towards the bush.
"I know you're there Gakupo. Stop trying to hide like you're a chicken," Kaito said.
Gakupo walked out of the bushes and sweatdropped.
"Was I that easy to find?" He said.
"Yes," Kaito nodded licking his ice cream.
Gakupo had anime tears and walked down the road muttering about stupid blue haired people and how to hide his presence much better.
Kaito chuckled softly and shook his head.
"He'll never change," He muttered as he walked to a near ice cream store for more of his precious ice cream.
Author Note: Another update! Yeah! The next gym leader will be a Grass-type and some people should know who she is. Hint: LEEKS!
Please Review!
