Chapter 4: The Kidnapped Dratini Part 1

Naruto tucked Mankey's pokeball away with satisfaction. He honestly did think that having Ippo on his team would be a major improvement on his team as he was also a powerhouse like the rest of team.

He picked up his backpack from the ground and stood up straight.

"Well, better get going before it gets too late."

Just as he was about to leave, Naruto heard something that caused him to stop.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

He heard the scream was feminine and very young, which caused him to narrow his eyes.

"That was definitely the voice of a little girl and if my ears are correct, then that came from the same direction the 5 Growlithe…"

He didn't even finish his thoughts as he immediately ran to the direction of the yell.

"I hope I make it in time."

In a Dirt Path Close By

A girl with a long black hair tied in 2 ponytails with brown eyes was seen standing pressed against a tree in fright as she was surrounded by 5 Growlithe that looked worse for wear. The girl was wearing a green dress that reached to her knees that looked a little ruffed up near the bottom.

This girl was 5 year old Wendy Dragoneel.

She cried as she thought about how this happened.

Flashback

Wendy was skipping happily along the city as she was eating an ice cream cone in her left hand.

She turned around and pouted as she looked at a serpentine Pokémon with a blue body and a white belly. It has a white fin on either side of its head and a white bump on its forehead. Above its large, round, white snout are oval, purple eyes.

This was a Dratini, who was currently slithering slowly towards her.

She hit the ground with her right foot as she pouted more.

"Mou, go faster Grandeeny! Your always so slow!"

The Dratini known as Grandeeny seemed to chuckle in amusement at Wendy, causing her to pout more.

Deciding to stop teasing her, Grandeeny slithered faster to Wendy, who seemed to slowly lose her pout until her eyes widened in horror, confusing Grandeeny until two men in black with a red R on their shirt ran by and kidnapped her.

Wendy was yelling at them to stop, but they never listened so she gave chase.

As she was running, she was thinking of going back home to her parents until she shook her head as she wanted to take responsibility for once so she continued to follow them.

Despite her efforts, Wendy wasn't even close to getting close to the men as they ran farther away until they were out of sight.

Being tired, she stopped in the middle of a dirt path as she bent over with her hands on her knees as she was breathing heavily.

She looked up one more time at the direction they left and she started to cry as she lost Grandeeny.

She fell to the floor in despair as she cried with her arms holding to her knees.

Wendy, being incredibly sad, thought,

"How could this day get any worse?"

She would soon regret that thought as 5 Growlithe bursted from the bushes to the left of the dirt path and, when they registered her, immediately growled as they slowly and intimidatingly crawled over to her.

"Why is this happening to me?"

Flashback End

Wendy, seeing that they were really close by, screamed out in fright.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

The level of her yell and the close proximity caused the Growlithe to recoil in pain as their ears were incredibly sensitive.

Once the ringing was gone from their heads, the Growlithe growled in anger at the pain Wendy caused and immediately jumped towards her with glowing white teeth bared, ready to tear her to shreds.

Wendy closed her eyes as she was ready for the pain, but a voice that appeared not a second after she close her eyes rang through the clearing.

"Reto used Whirlwind, quick!"

She opened her eyes as she saw a big Pidgeotto fly through the trees from the same direction as the Growlithe and stopped in midair where it immediately flapped it's wings with great speed, causing a tornado the size of the trees to form and sent it towards the Growlithe.

The whirlwind from the Pidgeotto caused the Growlithe to fly away from the air a great distance.

Wendy watched, still slightly petrified, as the Pidgeotto slowly descended to the ground where it stood in the same place it stopped to attack the Growlithe and a blonde boy walked from the bushes ahead.

Her eyes were still locked on the scene before her as she didn't know what to think.

With Naruto

Naruto sighed in relief as he watched Reto take care of the Growlithe with no problem.

He thought that he might've been too late when he didn't her the girl yell again, but was glad that he did make it.

Seeing that there was no danger left, Naruto showed himself to the girl, who still looked scared out of her wits, and went towards Reto.

Once he was next to him, Naruto turned to Reto and patted his belly as he smiled at him.

"Thanks for the assist, Reto. I'm still pretty tired from the fight with Ippo so I'm glad you were available. Without you, I don't think we would have saved her on time."

Reto looked down at Naruto before he screech in happiness as he was praised.

"(It's no problem, Naruto. This is the least I can do for you after you helped me become so strong.)"

Naruto shook his head at Reto's words before he looked towards the girl who still looked at them with scared eyes.

He slowly approached her as he showed his hands, showing that he wasn't going to harm her, but she still backed up in front, causing him to frown.

"She must still be processing the information as the mixture of fear of losing her life got to her."

When he was close enough, he bent down to her level so he would be less intimidating. Naruto then asked,

"Are you okay, little girl? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

This caused the girl's attention to shift from Reto to him and tears started to well from her eyes and she jumped onto his form as she clanged to his shirt, crying.

Naruto was panicking as he never had to deal with this sort of problem before. He tried thinking of ways to cheer her up and he tried something his mom did to him when he was crying.

He awkwardly patted her back, which caused her to stiffen a little bit, before he said,

"Um, it's going to be ok. Nothing's going to hurt you."

The girl seemed to calm down and Naruto sighed at thinking it was over before she started to cry again, but this time, even harder than before.

"Dammit, dammit, dammit! What the hell am I supposed to do? How the hell do you deal with a little kid crying? What to do…. what to do… WHAT DO I DO?!"

Just as Naruto was internally panicking, he felt a light hit his eyes, causing him to look for the source, and he saw that the sun was reflecting from one of his pokeballs on his belt.

Naruto suddenly gained an idea.

"That's it! Why didn't I think of that before? I could call out Kushina and cheer her up as Kushina is cute and lovable. This will work, right? RIGHT?!"

Without even thinking of the consequences of showing a legendary pokemon to a little girl, Naruto picked Kushina's pokeball with his free right hand and dropped it to the ground.

Once the pokeball touched the ground, it opened up in a bright flash as Kushina was shown doing flips in joy.

"(Yay! I'm finally out!)"

Kushina looked around until her eyes caught onto the sight of Naruto and a crying little girl.

She gasped in horror before her eyes narrowed in anger.

"(Daddy! How could you hurt a little girl?!)"

Naruto, seeing that Kushina was being surrounded by threatening pyschic aura similar to his mom's aura of pain when her hair was waving in midair, immediately explained.

"Wait, Kushina! It's not what you think! A pack of Growlithe attacked her and I saved her, but she started crying as soon as it was over. You know I would never hurt anyone, right?"

Kushina accepted his answer and flew over to them.

"(Ok, but why did you call me out?)"

Naruto thanked the heavens that Kushina was reasonable and said,

"Well, I called you out because I was hoping that you would be able to cheer her up."

Kushina, once hearing that, puffed her chest out in smugly, which caused Naruto to sweat drop at her behavior.

"(Well, if it's something like that, then I can easily do that.)"

Kushina then flew over to the girl's face before she called out her name a few time to get her attention, which worked as she looked up from Naruto's chest.

When the attention was on her, Kushina did some backflips and cheered many times, causing the girl to slowly smile before it tried to reach out to Kushina.

She froze though when she realized that it was Naruto's pokemon and looked over to him.

Naruto nodded with a smile and with that the girl immediately grabbed Kushina from the air and hugged it softly to her chest as she petted it softy, eliciting joyous purrs from Kushina.

Naruto smiled kindly at the girl, who was currently absorbed in petting Kushina.

"Feeling better?"

The girl slightly stiffened before she continued to pet Kushina and looked up at him before nodding.

"So, can you tell me who you are and why you are out here alone?"

The girl's eyes widen in remembering why she was out here until sadness overwhelmed her eyes.

"My names Wendy Dragoneel and I was out here trying to get Grandeeny back."

Naruto seemed to get an understanding of the situation before he asked,

"Ok. Well, can you tell me who Grandeeny is and why would they be out here?"

Wendy hesitated slightly when she was going to answer, but shook her head and answered.

"Grandeeny is my Dratini that I got from my parents and I raised her ever since she was an egg. She's out here because she was taken from me by two men in black."

Naruto's eyes widened when he heard that Wendy had a Dratini and wasn't surprised that it was taken. Dratini were rare to find and even harder to catch as they would always be with their parent. They were one of the most sought out pokemon as they had the potential to evolve into it's pseudo-legendary form, Dragonite.

His eyes, though, narrowed in suspicion as he heard the description of the people who took Grandeeny. Even though it would make sense wearing black to hide a person's identity, it would be to stupid to wear black in broad daylight and not be considered suspicious, especially in a town with very few people in it.

Naruto looked deep into Wendy's eyes as he gave her a soft smile, getting a smile in return, and softly grabbed her shoulders to make sure she listened to him.

"Don't worry, Wendy, I'll help you get Grandeeny back, but I'm going to need you to listen to me every step of the way, alright?"

Wendy's eyes widened before she nodded in understanding as she listened.

"Ok. I'm going to go send out 2 of my pokemon to fly around the area so they can see if they have caught sight of the two men while you, Kushina, and I are going to wait for them to find them. Does that sound nice to you?"

Wendy stared at Naruto for a couple of seconds before she nodded with a small smile.

Naruto smiled back and stood up before he turned around with a serious face as he faced Reto, who was standing at attention. He then grabbed Madara's pokeball before throwing it in the air releasing Madara, who roared as he exited from the pokeball.

Madar landed next to Reto and nodded to him, who nodded back, as he knew that this was time to get serious.

They both looked towards Naruto with serious expressions on their face as Madara's eyes spun hypnotically.

Behind Naruto, Wendy could be seen staring at Madara with wonderment as she thought how cool he looked as Kushina smiled happily up at her expression.

"I wish I had a pokemon like that."

Naruto observed Madara with his Aura and then Reto before he nodded as he saw that they were in perfect condition, thanks to being healed and rested in the Pokemon Center.

"Madara, Reto, I want you two to fly around the area and, when you see two men wearing black, I want you to immediately head back and show us the way. Understood?"

They nodded obediently and they flew up to the air before flying away, both in different directions.

Naruto turned Wendy and Kushina and walked over to them as he sat down, prompting Wendy to sit down as well.

"Well, now, we just wait until one of the come back and then we'll proceed to find Grandeeny," he turned to look at them, or more specifically, Kushina, "Kushina, I want you to transform to something else as it could cause problems when we deal with the thieves."

Kushina nodded and transformed into a Poliwag, surprising Wendy.

Seeing her suprise, he explained.

"Wendy, I told Kushina to transform as she is an incredibly rare, and I mean SUPER RARE, like your Dratini so could you keep this a secret between us?"

Wendy nodded in acceptance and hugged Kushina little tighter as she thought about Grandeeny.

"Don't worry Grandeeny were coming to save you!"
