Hello everyone! ShinobiGama is back from the dead. But no people, while I apologize for being extremely, EXTREMELY late with the update I have but two words which if you are at all intelligent will justify my absence, "college applications". Now I'm not a schmuck so I wont tell you "oh Im going to be a good writer from here on so be patient my babies" nahhh that aint me. I dont know when another chapter will emerge. Who knows maybe it will be later in the week, idk. Thanks for sticking around for those of you who did.
Before I begin, judging from my reviews I guess a few things need to be cleared up.
1. People, read my summary, if you cant guess who catches BOTH Naruto and Sasuke from that you need help...fast.
2. They're Pokemon people. I sure as hell aint gonna type "Vul Vul Vulp Pix Vulpix Pix Vul!" then do a translation kapeesh? THEY ARE STILL TLKING IN FREAKIN POKE DIALECT!
3. Not a big issue but Ill throw this out, I dont really care about levels, lets say fire blast was kyuubi interference kay?
4. I'm going to be as gentle as possible on this one, Youre a gym leader, wild pokemon walk into your gym, somehow they demand a match, and they beat you, will you give them a badge? HELL NO! You will obviously try and capture them or run them out of your gym for humiliating you.
I'm sorry if you were insulted by this little diatribe but it had to be said. Please dont take it personally, I care greatly for your feedback. Now with the unpleasantries aside lets bring out the guest star Ichiro from The Santori Chronicals
Ich: It should be logical that SG does not own Pokemon or Naruto, for if he did, why then, is the question, would be writing on this site of the web in the first place?
SG:....what did you just say? I am so confused right now...ANYWAY ON WITH THE FIC!
"Pokeball go!" Normal Dialogue
'Shit! a Poke ball' Thoughts

Naruto, I Choose You!
Where we last left our newly identified Poke-heros, they were slowly but surely making their way to the dangerous and laberynth-like Mt. Moon. Our two heros weren't worried however, after all they were hardened shinobis who had not only stood up to C-S class missing nin but to each other when possesed by an otherworldly and malevolent power. Indeed, they were the elite of the elite, the strongest of the strong, the bravest of the br-
"Nuh-uh. No way! I am NOT going into a cave that looks like it could be haunted! You heard what Gouka said, there ARE such things as ghost pokemon. I am NOT going in there teme and there's not a thing you could say that could change my mind!"
......nevermind.
Sasuke landed right on Naruto's head and began savgely thrashing the fox's head with his bat wings.
"THINK! You moronic kitsune! Gouka ALSO said that this "Clefairy" pokemon possesed knowledge not of this world! They might know a way we can get back, or at least turn us back into our past selves. Now I cant go in there without you, I dont quite get this 'radar vision' yet and I need you to be my eyes in there!"
Naruto laid down and brought his paws over his eyes. He began shaking.
"I HATE ghosts! And any place that might even have them. I'm sorry Sasuke, but I won't risk it!"
Sasuke grew angry before he took two big breaths, and smirked as soon as he thought of a way to persuade his irrational dobe of friend.
"Hey Dobe, if we can become human again that means we can freely walk through towns and villages"
"So?"
"Sooo if we can walk among humans, then you can get some ramen."
A slight twitch was the only warning Sasuke got before all Six of Naruto's tails wrapped around him, pinning him on the Fox's back.
"D-Dobe wha-what are you doi-!!!!"
Naruto took off like a bolt of lightening towards the dark mountain up ahead. If one were to look closely they would see not only a dust outline of where the two friends had been not three seconds earlier, but also a slight trail of drool being left in the wake of the speeding Kitsune.
Sasuke, though slightly worried for his personal safety, was happy for the ride and decided to take this opportunity to think about all the information that Gouka and Chimoku had given them the previous day.
(FlashBack)
"I'm not sure whether to believe you two, or to think that perhaps the Zubat used his Confuse Ray to many times on you and it happened to backfire on him as well" said the still bandaged fire pokemon.
Naruto's fur stood on end and he began to growl,
"IT'S TRUE! Do you really think we could come up with something this nuts on imagination alone? We are ninjas from the Elemental Countries who were killed and then turned into these things!"
Chimoku looked thoughtful for a moment before he shook his head saying,
"I believe you! Realliy I do. But you see, neither of us have ever even heard of these Elemental Countries. There are only six known continents on this planet."
Naruto and Sasuke werent sure how it happened but suddenly they found themselves in two desks and in front of them stood the Oddish wearing a pair of spectacles with a huge map behind him.
"Alright now pay attention because I'll only be going through this once! Now where you are right now is called the Moon forest! It makes up the valley around Mt. Moon, except for the main path of course, but we wild Pokemon like to avoid Mt. Moon is just a small part of what's known as the Kanto Region. Now it may be called a region but in reality it is one of the six continents I spoke of earlier."
Naruto raised his paw. Gouka rolled his uncovered eye, "yes Naruto?"
"What did you mean by wild Pokemon?"
Chimoku was quick to answer,
"It is simply the title given to those pokemon who have yet to be captured and trained by a human trainer. Trained pokemon may become stronger than their wild counterparts, but they give up their freedom in turn."
Sasuke shuddered as he suddenly got a mental image of Orochimaru with a pokeball walking towards him menacingly.
Chimoku continued with his explanation of the continents, he used one of his leaves to indicate to the world map behind him.
"Immediatey to the south of the Kanto Region are the Orange Islands. Dont be fooled by its docile name, there are easily over 1000 islands spread out in that ocean. Also it is said that on one of those islands sleep all three of the legendary birds. Anyway, to the west of the Kanto Region lies the Johto Continent. I dont know much about it but apparently because of the different climate there are plenty of different types of pokemon. And to the west of that is the Hoen Region, I know nothing about that place. To the east of here, across a large expanse of ocean is the desert continent, also known as the Orre Region, next to no wild pokemon there, most are brought there. Finally, to the west of Hoen, and East of Orre, basically, on the complete other side of the world is Yami."
Sasuke and Naruto exchanged glance (sort of). They recognized that word from their language. It meant 'Dark'. They began to wonder how a whole continent could earn such a name.
"No one really knows what Yami means. Thats just what the UWC (United World Council) named it a little over eighty years ago. Not much is known about this place in general. You see, not only is it in the middle of the ocean, but there seems to be a perpetual storm around the whole continent. Most people actually dont even think it exists, but once in a while a boat will crash somewhere and the people onboard will speak of this place, and it's strange King. It has another name, the Gate to Hell. Hopefully, your travels will never have to take you there."
Just as mysteriously as it had appeared, the presentation dissappeared along with the desks. Gouka shrugged saying, "Point is, as far as the whole world knows, there is no such thing as the Elemental Countries."
Chimoku nodded saying
"And as long as you guys are like this, you two are not 'shinobis', but Pokemon, and if your going to survive you will need to know how use your moves that we Pokemon are famous for."
Gouka smirked and crunched his knukcles,
"Welcome to Poke Boot Camp Maggots! Lets get busy!"
(End FlashBack)
It was actually not nearly as bad as his training with Kakashi was when he was learning the Chidori. Turns out this 'ether' energy was the exact same as chakra. The only difference being was that in this world, your body already knew some attacks, you could learn more by simply fighting more, and that there were actually drugs you could take to automatically learn more.
Both Naruto and himself were able to learn the basic moves of their respective species. Sasuke would be lying however if he said he wasnt jealous of Naruto's transformation. As an Uchiha, fire had always been the element that he controlled with near perfection. However, here he was now, a 'flying' type who's greatest move consisted of him trying to confuse the enemy.
No! No, he had to stop thinking like that! It was because he always measured himself by others that he had grown jealous of Naruto in the first place which ultimately led to both of their demises.
Yes, thats right.
Sasuke knew it was his fault that they had died. True, Naruto killed him first, but it was only because his aim sucked and he was trying to get the Uchiha to come back home.
It didn't matter if Naruto now was an entity of his previous primary element, what mattered was that he would have to make the most out of this situation. If his strongest move was this 'Confuse Ray' then he would make sure his opponents were fucked up in the head when he was done with them.
During his mulling s he did not notice that Naruto had run head first into the cave...and had totally gotten them both bat shit lost (AN: HAH! I typed that without even realizing the pun!). Sasuke tried to use his radar sense but only succeeded in seeing ten yards in front of him. The only thing he saw was a very large, very daunting, fork in the cavern. God he hoped Naruto knew where they were. He smacked the Vulpix on the head again.
"Nice going Dumb Ass! Now would you be so kind as to explain where the hell you were going?!"
Naruto's eyes slowly came back into focus as he finally came to realize his surroundings.
"What the- where the hell did you bring us teme?!?"
If Sasuke had eyes, they would be red with fury right now.
'No,no, must remain calm. Hes an idiot yes, but he is also the only person out here that you can use as a flesh sheild. So deep breaths one two one two on-' "OH FUCK IT! YOU STUPID, MORONIC, FLEA RIDDEN, GENITAL LICKING, FIRE BREATHING, RAMEN SNORTING DOBE! DO YOU EVER ONCE THINK BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING??!"
Naruto took a pondering position before he curtly replied,
"No, not really. Usually I just throw it all out there. Works about ninety five percent of the time."
"Ninety five?"
"Yah"
"Yah?! And the other five??"
........
......
......"Usually I blow up in some way or another"
Sasuke brought his wings to his face and groaned. Slowly the Uchiha got off Naruto's back before he began taking flight
"Okay, here's how were gonna do this. We will split up here and if we dont meet each other on the other side of the passage in half an hour we will meet back here and take one path together, alright?"
Naruto's eyes began to water
"Yo-you're going to leave me alone? Where I am in plain sight of every ghost in this damned cavern?? I- I thought you loved me Sasuke!"
Sasuke smacked him with his wings one more time before he took off down the left passage yelling "Here! In one hour if we dont meet on the other side!"
.
.
.
Naruto was alone.
Oh so alone.
Nervously, he began his lonesome trek down the right passage. Oh god he hoped Sasuke knew what he was doing...or what he himself was doing for that matter.
"Oh what am I thinking being nervous about all this! Why, there is absolutely no reason to feel any sort of alarm. After all what is the worse I have to fear? Even if I am a fox I am still Uzumaki Naruto! No one can beat me! Sasuke is no slouch either. The only thing we really have to worry about is a 'trainer', but there is no reason one of those things would be in here."
...oh cruel, cruel irony.
Sasuke was starting to regret splitting up. Really, the Rookie of the Year should have realized that splitting up with the guy who can actually see may not have been the brightest of moves. And as the blind Zubat made his way down the cavern corridor, bumping into the stone wall every two minutes or so, he began to worry that he would not be able to find a way back.
"Okay, okay. Let's not panic now. There is absolutely no reason to panic, let's leave that to the dobe. Okay, it's been about twenty minutes and I have no idea where the hell I am or Naruto is. Perhaps it would be best if I just started making my way back n-"
Suddenly Sasuke's now keen ears picked up the tel tale sound of leathery wings flapping behind him. Why would he not assume they were his you ask? Mostly because he heard them in great numbers....like well over twenty.
His sonar sense, which he was having extreme difficulty focusing, saw a whole flock of...him flying right at and past him.
" Holy Shi- wait a minute, if I follow them I'll be able to find out where the hell I am! Hey you! Wait up!"
The flock of Zubats ignored the new comer and continued their journey to the hell knows where. All they were concerned about were two things. One: getting food from outside the cave. and Two: getting away from the two oddly eccentric humans and their bipedal Meowth.
Naruto was actually having a good time. Not only was he getting the perfect opportunity to practice his fire manipulation but also it was giving him a way to see where he was going. It was a nice bonus that he was convinced that ghosts were terrified of light...Sasuke assured him of that "fact"....the jerk.
As he continued to breath fire during his stroll down the cavern passage he realized that the hall was growing. The further he walked the farther the walls grew from each other. Soon he found himself in the middle of a great chamber. He could not see any sign of any walls. Just as he was about to turn back a flash of pink was caught in his peripherals.
"Who's there? Show Yourself!"
Two more flashes of pink flew across his vision untill he found himself surrounded by a whole hoard of what appeared to be giant, fat, pink mice with wings.
"Who are you? What are you?" Naruto nervously exclaimed.
From the middle of the ring emerged one of the creatures, only this one seemed different then the others. He carried in his claw a gnarled piece of wood which was used as a staff. His (presumably) eyes were squinted and lined with old age yet the small window presented showed a glint of wisdom beyond anyone else present. Naruto was fondly reminded of the Sandaime when he looked into those eyes.
"We, Young Vulpix, are the Clefairy. One of the most mysterious and knowledgeable species of Pokemon and Guardians of the Secrets of the Moon."
Naruto eyes widened. "You?! You're the Clefairy?!? This is great! Me and my friend have been scouring this whole mountain for you! We have some questions and we were told that if anyone could answer them, it was you and your kind."
The old Clefairy began to chuckle as he leaned upon his walking stick.
"Ahhh, the excitement of youth. How many years has it been since I last experienced it? No matter. Come with me, young fire fox, and I will tell you all I can."
Naruto pounced upon the Clefairy thanking him profusely, "Oh! And my name isn't Vulpix, I am Uzumaki Naruto, Genin of the Hidden Leaf Village!"
The Clefairy smiled warmly and replied, "Then you may call me 'Elder' I suppose you could call me the chief of the Tribe. Now come along, this is no place to stay, the mountain is disturbed by something and if we are to talk I would rather it be in someplace safe."
Naruto merely nodded and began to follow the bouncing Clefairys deeper into the cavern.
-----------------------------------Later, In the lair of the Clefairy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour passed in the chamber of the Elder as Naruto regaled his tale of mystery and misfortune to the wizened Clefairy who throughout the entire ordeal sat with a pensive look on his face. Finally, by the end of his story Naruto, exhausted sat on his haunches and addressed the Elder,
"Look, I know it sounds crazy, but you gotta believe me! You are mine and Sasuke's only chance of finding out what the hell happened t-"
The Elder held up his paw in a placating motion, Naruto took the hint and fell silent.
"Indeed Naruto, you're story is a peculiar one, and I would be a fool to believe it."
Naruto, enraged, flew to his paws and was about to shout, but before he could the Elder silenced him with another wave of his hand.
"I would be a fool...had I not heard the same story not too long ago."
Okay people! Thats a rap! Lets hit the showers! Oh and dont wry, ill do my best to get this chapter out sooner than the others!
ShinobiGama, out!
oh almost forgot REVIEW!
