Sorry for the wait everyone, I had other things to do. So here's a nice long chapter to make it up to you.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Pokemon, just the ocs and Tsukikumo Organization that appears in the story.
Recap: Satisfied, Sakura got up from her seat and started walking towards John. Kiyosha, Brainyu, and Luxio all smirked already knowing that the pink-silver haired trainer-coordinater is going to give this kid a hard time.
Outside the Pokemon Center/Starshine Town's Park/Morning Time (still)
Vash shades of green grass blowing from the morning breeze, tossing up flower pollen and weeds into the sky. On the lower hill of the grassy field in the park a battle is about to go under way. Two opponents were facing each other on opposite sides. These two were Sakura who was on the left and John who was on the right.
"I really don't think we need a referee for this one on one match, ne?" John asked smirking.
"No, I guess we really don't." Sakura replied with a wave of her hand in a 'don't care' matter.
"Good cause you're going down!" He pulled out a pokeball and threw it and out came a huge grass/ground type pokemon.
"TooooorTEEEEEEERRAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" The continent pokemon battle roared making the ground somewhat shake, but this didn't scare Sakura one bit.
Kiyosha, Brainyu, and Luxio were sitting on a bench not too far away from the two.
"A Torterra eh, this kid might actually put up a fight and worth watching too after all."Brainyu said amused.
"You're right." Kiyosha agreed and Luxio just sat there in the grass watching the two trainers intently.
Sakura looked at John's choice of pokemon for a sec before pulling out an ultra ball and throwing it and out came her dark/ice type pokemon.
"Weeaviiiile!" The sharp claw pokemon did a little spin flip while in midair and landed gracefully on his two tails in the grass.
'A Weavile hmm…and a powerful and skillful one at that, I'm gonna have to be careful since I'm already at a disadvantage.' John frowned in his thoughts.
"Alright, I'll go first…Torterra, start off with Earthquake and after that use Stone Edge." He commanded.
Torterra let out another roar as it jumped in the air and came down with an earth shattering force. Cracks started to form in the grassy field and rush towards Weavile who didn't do anything or dodge. However, Torterra was not done yet, his eyes glowed a bright white as rocks started to appear floating around its' figure and the grass pokemon sent them flying towards Weavile.
Sakura smirked before calling out "Focus Punch and into Quick Attack."
"Weav…" the dark/ice type pokemon smirked too and batted away all the incoming rocks with blue curled up claws into fists and used his tails as a spring to launch himself at his opponent with unbelievable blinding speed.
'Holy Shit, it's fast as well!!'
"Hurry up and dodge then use Frenzy Plant!"
The humongous pokemon with its' heavy weight managed to lift itself over in time as Weavile flew pass by. Sharp and huge vines burst out of the ground and attacked the dark/ice type who didn't have enough time to dodge and got his everywhere especially the knees( when he was trying to dodge again).
"Viiiiiilllllle!!" Weavile cried out in pain and was thrown into a tree which increased his injured state and crashed first on his injured knees and finally onto the ground.
"Now before it gets up, use the heat's energy from the burning sun and fire the Solarbeam." John said grinning.
"Torrr-TERRA!" The grass/ground starter opened its' mouth and shot a big green energy beam towards Weavile who was struggling to get up.
'It seems like his knees are damaged pretty badly…this is gonna be hard but I hope it works.' Sakura frowned in thought.
"Try and use your tails!" She shouted to Weavile in desperation.
"Weavile…" the sharp claw pokemon opened his eyes after hearing his trainer's desperate call.
Ignoring the pain in his knees, he stood up and flipped his two tails in front of him in time to block the powerful grass attack. Strange this is that Weavile wasn't taking damage from the Solarbeam but was absorbing it which John noticed.
"WHAT/TERRA?!!!!" He and his pokemon were shocked.
Sakura grinned, happy and relieved that her plan worked, but suddenly came up with another one that will make her win this battle.
"Now fight back with Blizzard!"
Weavile opened his mouth and fired the attack and it made direct contact. Torterra stood its' ground while taking the freezing coldness but it seems as if the ice attack wasn't fazing the huge pokemon one bit.
"YEAH! That's showing em' your awesome defense power, keep it up Torterra!" John praised with a raised fist in the air.
The grass/ground type pokemon nodded and continued to take on the strong ice attack. Though Weavile only grinned while snickering quietly and stopped his attack, now the spot where Torterra is standing and the semi-half of the field was frozen solid including the back feet of the continent pokemon, but John didn't take notice of this.
"Now that Weavile has stopped its' attack, finish this match up with Iron Head!"
Torterra's body started to glow bright silver and went in for the kill but as soon as it took one step, the huge pokemon's eyes widened before it slipped and crashed to the frozen ground sliding across the ice field towards Weavile who was standing there perfectly still and laughing at Torterra's predicament.
"What the?!!" John's surprised voice stumbled out and he finally noticed the change in playing field especially his pokemon's condition.
"That Blizzard wasn't used for offense, it was to slow your Torterra down and since he's quite fast on his feet, I decided to aim for his legs and the field turning this grassy area into an ice one, making it easier for my Weavile to move if he has to thus giving him the advantage." Sakura explained.
'Smart thinking, with this ice field my Torterra won't be able to move as quickly or land a perfect hit on Weavile at all without falling cause of his frozen back feet, DAMN IT, she must've known this at the time when my Torterra dodge Weavile's Quick Attack!' He gritted his teeth in irritation and slight anger.
"Alright Weavile, use Revenge." Sakura commanded.
The dark/ice type starting glowing and skate ran then went into sliding (after his knees started acting up again) at Torterra using his amazing speed.
"Since we can't use your speed or move at all stop Weavile in his tracks with Energy Ball."
Torterra somehow managed to stop sliding and opened his mouth to fire a green energy orb at Weavile who did a front cartwheel over it by using his hands (his knees still hurt so he had to use his hands to assist his jump) and continued on sliding towards Torterra.
"Now go into Iron Tail to finish this match up!" Sakura cheered with a punch.
"Weeaaviillllle!!" Again the glowing sharp claw pokemon flipped into the air with the help of his hands and landed a direct SUPER POWERFUL hit on the continent pokemon. With the combined powers of both Revenge and Iron Tail Torterra couldn't take them and flew into the air then came crashing down into the frozen field and shattered the ice.
"Torterrrrraaaa…" it said before fainting.
"Noooooooooooooo, Torterra!" John cried out before running to his unresponsive pokemon.
"Looks like I win this match." Sakura laughed before walking over to her pokemon who fell to the ground on his but in exhaustion and knelt down.
"Weav…" he sighed in relief from the finished battle. The sharp claw pokemon sensed someone behind him and turned around only to be tacked into a one arm hug from his trainer.
"You did a great job Weavile, I'm very proud of you." Sakura used her free hand and stroked the top of his head while congratulating him.
"Viiiiile!" He smiled while giving her the thumbs up and returned the hug full heartily.
"Go ahead and take a nice long rest buddy." Sakura said before returning him back inside his ball. Once finished, she stood up and walked over to John who also returned his Torterra back inside its' pokeball.
"I have to admit you're not that pretty bad of a pokemon trainer." She said truthfully.
"Thanks, I worked really hard to get Torterra and all of my other pokemon to the level I want them especially when I face the next gym leader, I heard rumors about him being very strong and I'm not sure if I'm ready just yet." He grinned, rubbing the back of his head in nervousness.
'Wow, I can't believe I'm being complimented by my number two idol!'
"I'm sure you'll do just fine since you're one of the first trainers now to have given me a hard time…I mean after relaxing from winning the Shinnoh League a few months ago." She said and he just laughed after saying thanks.
"By the way, hmmm….how many badges do you have since I can tell you're a little stronger than some trainers I've ran into now and then." Sakura asked curiously.
"Umm…five, but I trained my pokemon hard after every badge I win then go for a little break for a while until I give them exercise training or sometimes special training, why?" he answered and asked the pink-silver haired teen with a raised brow.
"No wonder why?" Sakura mumbled under her breath and John raised his other brow.
"Huh?" He asked confused.
"Oh it's nothing." She reassured him quickly with a sweat-drop though he didn't believe her, but dropped the matter anyway.
"Well thanks for the battle and all, who knows, we might run into each other again seeing as I'm one of your biggest fans after all." John smirked at that last part and turned around and left while waving goodbye to her, her brother, Brainyu, and Luxio.
It was quiet for a few minutes until Sakura heard her brother and the rest come up behind her.
"Looks like another win as usual, a least this kid was more challenging than the other trainers and coordinaters we've came across." Kiyosha stated.
"Yeah, you're right." Brainyu and Sakura both agreed in unison.
"Luuuuuuux…" The spark pokemon nodded, but then moaned and put a paw on his now growling stomach while sitting back on his hind legs.
"It seems like Luxio is hungry, hey imouto, let's go back to the pokemon center and get all three of us something to eat…cause I'm starting to get hungry myself." Kiyosha suggested.
"What makes you think I'm hungry because I'll tell you I'm not." Sakura said with crossed arms.
Unfortunately for her, fate was not on her side because her own stomach had other ideas. It rumbled so loud that if anyone were to pass by the park they will DEFINITELY hear it and wonder 'what the hell was that?'
Sakura blushed red in embarrassment and gritted her teeth in irritation when she saw her aniki and Brainyu's expressions change.
"What was that about not being hungry?"Kiyosha smirked smugly.
"Yeah, because it seems like your stomach disagrees with you." Brainyu laughed.
"Shut up you guys, maybe I am…just a little bit!" Sakura retorted hotly still blushing and walked away from the laughing pair.
They stopped laughing and ran after her with Luxio following close behind. Shortly after the four left the clearing and out of view a shadowed figure came out of the bushes. It was a big cat ferret like pokemon with long sharp claws, a long fluffy tail, and had bright red eyes with red zizag markings over them. It was a Zangoose, but not a regular colored one. Instead of its original white and red, this Zangoose was a darkish-grey, close to black, color with blue claws. It looked at the empty space with narrowed eyes before turning around and running back into the bushes.
Unknown Area/Somewhere in Starshine Town's Park
Big bushes, tall grass, two big HUGES trees, a small field full of bright colorful flowers, and a small sparkling blue lake up ahead. This beautiful place is not known by a lot of people who live in this town because it wasn't exactly visible and out in the open. It was more hidden amongst a secret passage that was located somewhere near to one of the hills in this big park. Sitting and hiding against one of the huge trees that provided shaded from the horrible heat of the sun was a shadowed silhouette of a person with short hair and from its figure we can tell that it's a girl. You couldn't see any of her features except the reflection off her glasses. Few minutes later, the strange colored Zangoose jumped out of the bushes and landed on all fours right next to the hidden person.
"So…what did you find, it better be something useful?"
The Zangoose smirked before standing up to its full height and faced its' trainer.
"Nothing but a small battle going on between two trainers, however, one of them was a girl with cherry blossom pink-silver hair and has a Luxio…I believe it's her." It spoke.
The figure in the darkness grinned, her pearly white teeth gleaming.
"Really, how interesting…this useful information, so the Shinnoh Champ Sakura Haruno is still town eh…kukkukukku, I'm sure the boss will love to hear this news." The mysterious girl said evilly before laughing, her dark laughter along with her Zangoose's filled into the morning sky before the two materialized out of the area, leaving no trace of the presences what so ever.
Lunaray City/Lunaray's Gym/Evening- 6:48 p.m.
Inside there was an amazing sight to see, two pokemon going at each other with everything they've got. Two people stood across from each other. On the left was a tall teen with a bowl shaped hair cut and had black bug eyes with big bushy eyebrows. He was Rock Lee, Lunaray's new fighting type gym leader. On the right was a young fourteen year old boy with spiky blond hair with sapphire blue eyes and had three identical whisker marks on both cheeks. His name was Naruto Uzumaki. He and his friends (who were sitting on the bleachers) were here in this city so Naruto could win his fifth badge considering that some of them (who were the trainers) already have five badges and also went ahead to other gyms before this one cause it was closed earlier, so right now they were waiting patiently (a few). This gym battle was going good so far and both trainers are down to their last pokemon. Rock Lee with his Poliwrath and Naruto with his Pidgeot.
"Pidgeot, go into Quick Attack and then use Wing Attack."
The bird pokemon flew at blinding speed towards the tadpole pokemon and once Pidgeot was close enough, its' wings started to glow.
"Dodge and use you youthful DynamicPunch." Lee commanded.
"Poli…" It said before ducking Pidgeot's attack and thrusted a glowing red fist right into the bird's beak causing it to smashing into the ceiling.
"Dgeoooot!" It cried out in pain before falling out of the sky.
"Noooooo, Pidgeot!" Naruto shouted worriedly.
"Now Poliwrath, finish this up with Ice Beam." Lee grinned victoriously.
Poliwrath fired a blue beam towards the falling bird that was coming close to crashing into the ground.
"Pidgeot, please try and climb up, I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!" Naruto desperately shouted to his unresponsive pokemon.
Thankfully Naruto's call got through because Pidgeot woke up just in time to flip himself and flap its' wings while moving out of the way at the same time from the ice beam attack.
"WHAAAAT/POLIII!!!!!!!!!!!" was Lee and Poliwrath's shocked voices.
"Yeah that's showing em' Pidgeot, now use your Aerial Ace!" Naruto happily cheered.
Pidgeot did a loop before flying at high speed towards Poliwrath.
"Stop it with Bubblebeam!!" Lee quickly commanded.
Poliwrath raised his open palms and fired a barrage of bubbles at the flying type.
"Go into Quick Attack!"
The bird pokemon flew even faster aided by the quick attack and went around the bubbles in a ring like formation to avoid being hit by the water attack.
"Hurry up and use Submission!" Lee's desperate voice called out to Poliwrath who jumped at Pidgeot in the air and ready to grab it only to miss when the bird pokemon disappeared and reappeared behind the tadpole and land a direct super effective hit in its' back.
"Poliwratttttth!" It cried out in pain before crashing into the ground and making a huge crater causing dust to fly up in the air and cover who playing field.
'Ugggggh, I can't see a thing.' Was everyone's thoughts.
When the dust cleared, everyone saw that Poliwrath was down and Pidgeot come landing to the ground.
The referee looked at the water/fighting type pokemon for a few seconds and seeing it not getting up anytime soon went ahead and announced "Poliwrath is unable to continue and the winner of this match goes to Naruto Uzumaki of Leaf Town!"
"HEHE….YESSSSS, I WON!!" Naruto jumped in the air and ran over to his pokemon and hugged the huge bird.
"You did it Pidgeot, I'm so proud of you girl!" Naruto praised.
"Dgeot." The pokemon smiled before rubbing her head affectionately against her trainer's.
Naruto's group of friends which consisted of Hinata, Shino, Kiba, Ino, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Karin, and Tenten all got off the bleachers and walked over to the pair.
"Seems like you're not that bad of a trainer after all." Kiba laughed.
"Kiba is right, but you almost lost dobe." Sasuke pointed out.
"HEY, at least I won in the end teme!" Naruto defended himself with an angry face.
"Yeah…come on you guys, give him a break will ya?" Tenten scolded Kiba and Sasuke.
They all stopped and turned around to face Lee who was right behind the blond.
"Youthful Naruto, that was great battle you put up and in honorary of beating me I give you the Cobble Badge." Lee said and handed over the badge to the blond who took it.
"YIPEE, I JUST WON THE COBBLE BADGE!!" Naruto shouted and struck a victory pose along with his three pokemon, Pidgeot, Vulpix, and Minun.
"C-Congratulations N-Naruto-kun." Hinata blushed with a smile.
"Aww, thanks Hinata-chan." He thanked her with a fox grin which made the girl blush even more. Then he took out his pokeballs and returned all three of his pokemon back inside them.
After that, they all turned around and left the gym and were heading back to the pokemon center.
"Still…I think you're weak." Sasuke said after a minute of silence once they were outside and away from the gym building.
"What was that teme?!" Naruto glared at the raven haired teen.
"Now you're having hearing problems too, I said that you're weak." He repeated with a smirk causing the blond to turn red in anger.
"Shut up teme, I bet I could beat you now, anytime and anywhere!" Naruto pointed a finger at Sasuke who answered back with a "You wish."
"You're a baka Naruto, Sasuke-kun is the best." Ino snorted.
"Yeah, nobody can beat Sasuke-kun, he's the greatest and strongest trainer ever alive." Karin agreed.
"Except his brother Itachi and two other people I know." Shikamaru countered, then winced when both Ino and Karin glared at the lazy genius while the younger uchiha grimanced/twitched at the mention of his older brother.
"You're not even involved in this conversation, so BUT OUT!" They screeched at him in unison.
"Uggh, girls are so troublesome…especially these two." Shikamaru groaned quietly with a frown, but the two fangirls of Sasuke's still heard that and increased the intensity of their glare.
"What was that?!!" The two yelled/asked angrily.
"Geeze…will you two shut up, you don't have go biting everyone's head just because someone insults or questions your precious Sasuke and his greatness, which he ain't for sure." Kiba cut in.
"Yeah, I agree with Kiba for once, BELIEVE IT!" Naruto nodded his head.
"You wouldn't even know it dog boy because you're weaker than Sasuke-kun." Ino retorted.
"Plus Naruto-baka, you're even weaker than dog boy is." Karin added.
This remark/insult made both the brown haired and blond haired boys mad.
"Why you----------
"Cut it out you guys, this is not helping us one bit." Tenten piped in irritated, her patience wearing thin.
"Like you're doing anything about it." Sasuke said and the older teen turned slowly towards him with an angry look on her face.
"I dare you to say that again because if you make me anymore angrier than I am right now, I'll break your little uchiha neck." She threatened him in a warning tone, the anger vein now on her forehead ready to pop.
"Hn. I'd like to see you try Teny." He smirked challengingly.
That was all it took for Tenten to snap.
"That's it, it's about high time someone put your little ass in his place and that someone is going to be me." She said darkly while walking over to the smug uchiha who wasn't worried one bit when he should be.
Then all hell broke loose and everyone except Hinata and Shino went into arguing or trying to tear each other apart.
"Guys, c-can we please s-stop fighting." The hyuga girl tried to reason but none of them seem to have heard her and kept on arguing/fighting which made her put her head down in sadness.
Just when things were about to get crazy, a low voice broke through them.
"How about everyone shuts up now."
Everyone went silent and turned to Shino who was giving off an ominous aura and sending them a death glare behind those glasses of his which everyone could definitely feel.
"That's better…now if I hear one peep out of any of you, there will be consequences and you will receive punishment, understand?"
Scared, everyone (including Sasuke) nodded their heads quickly (except for Hinata because it wasn't directed to her) in fear of what the bug specialist trainer would do to them.
"Good…" was all Shino said before walking ahead of the group.
Hinata ran up ahead to Shino's side and looked at him with happiness and a small smile.
"Thank you Shino-san." She quietly thanked him and he nodded at her.
For the rest of the evening, it was a looooong and quiet walk back to the pokemon center with no one saying a word to each other.
AN: There, chapter three is finally done. I hope you like the pokemon battles cause it's been a long while since I written one. This chapter is only longer than the first two because there was extra stuff added in that was going to be in the next chapter, but I changed my mind. There you have it, one villain is introduced though we don't know anything about her or her boss yet which we will learn later. If you're curious or just wanted to know, Sound or Akatsuki Organization would either come in the next chapter, the chapter after next, or the sixth chapter. There are still more characters and a few other events that need to be introduced before they come in. There is also a few surprises as to a which members in the Akatsuki broke away and are no longer apart of the organization, which cut the number down, but the ones who are left recruited new people to replace the empty spots. I give you a hint....the number of them is four (one out of the four is an oc), that's all I'm giving you.
R&R
