Author's note: Hey guys. I'm sorry for my incredibly short chapter. It's just that my friend's party exhausted me mentally more than I thought it would so I don't have that much Ideas right now. Even though it's short, I hope you guys will like it and give me some ideas in the reviews.

Enjoy!

Chapter 6: Arrival at Virdian Forest

Naruto took a deep breath of air and exhaled it all out as he smiled. He looked all around him to see trees, bushes, grass, and several types of pokemon as the moon's glow shined around the forest.

He was finally making some process in his journey by making it to Viridian Forest.

Naruto looked down towards his belt to see that 4 pokeballs were strapped on.

After the incident with the Dratini, Naruto took his pokemon to the Pokemon Center again to get healed, where he later had a talk with Ippo about his dream and how he would like him to be on the team.

It is easy to see that Mankey decided to join Naruto on his journey.

Naruto looked around him, basking in the very nature of the forest.

Due to his connection to Aura, he always felt a great connection with nature as it is one of the things connected to the very life of the Earth and everyone knows that the Earth is the most liveliest thing in the universe.

Deciding to not enjoy this moment alone, Naruto grabbed all his pokeballs from his waist and threw them up at the air as they released all of his pokemon.

Naruto looked towards his pokemon with his present smile as he said,

"Hey guys, I just brought you guys out here to help set up camp and enjoy being outside, instead of resting inside pokeballs."

Madara and Reto smirked as they thought of ways to spend their time after helping Naruto set up camp, Kushina did several flips and called out her name in joy, and Ippo gave him an appreciative smile.

"Let's get started. Reto, I want you to go with Madara to collect some sticks to use as firewood and bring it here, Mew, I want you to collect some fruit from some of the trees and bushes, and Ippo, I want to to help me collect some rocks to surround our fire. Once everything is done, you guys can do whatever you want."

All the pokemon cheered in their own way with Madara roaring and spewing out flames to the sky, Reto brought his wings out as it cawed, Mew fist pumped as she floated up even higher, and Ippo bumped both of his fists together.

They then left to do the job they were tasked with by Naruto.

Madara and Reto easily collected several sticks where they were both glaring at one another as it seemed they have started a competition.

Mew was happily humming to herself as she used her Psychic abilities to collect several apples, pears, and berries into a bag.

Ippo had no trouble at all finding some rocks with Naruto and they both set the rocks so that they formed a circle.

Once everyone was back, Naruto told Madara and Reto to set some wood into the circle while they left the others outside near it just in case they ever needed to ever refuel the fire. When they were done with that, Madara set the sticks stacked together on fire, causing the area to be illuminated in an orange glow.

After Naruto ordered his pokemon to do whatever they wanted, he took his backpack off and set it on the ground. He then reached inside and was moving hit arm around looking for something before he finally got it in his hands and pulled it out.

It revealed a case of sorts that seemed to hold small objects.

Naruto opened it up and it revealed several capsules labeled with several names. He took one labeled pot and closed the case rest of the capsules as he put it back into his backpack. He clicked the button on top and dropped it to the ground as a smoke covered the area.

Once the smoke cleared up, it revealed a cooking pot in it's place.

This was one of the inventions he came up with that allowed any person to carry something as big as a house with them with little problem.

Naruto picked up the pot and placed it over the fire.

With that done, he took out some ingredients and knives as he started cooking some curry.

Thanks to his training in Breeding, Naruto learned to cook several things in his life and was able to mix human food and pokemon food that would give the pokemon beautiful skin and proteins they need.

When he was done cooking, Naruto took out 4 bowls and filled it up with pokemon food. He then took his spoon and scooped up some curry and spread them equally over each bowl.

Naruto stood up and brought his hands to his mouth and let out a whistle.

Madara and Reto, who were deep into their spar, suddenly stopped in their tracks and flew back to the campsite.

Kushina, who was currently in the form of a Caterpie and playing with a group of Caterpie, sighed in disappointment and transformed back into her original form, startling the group of pokemon, and used Teleport to get back to her daddy.

Ippo, who seemed to be in deep meditation, opened his eyes very calmly and stood up as he walked back to his trainer's area.

When the all arrived, they started to drool, even the calm Ippo, as the smell of food entered their noses. Their eyes looked around the camp until they landed on an amused Naruto, who was currently holding their dinner in his hands, and drooled even more.

Naruto, being highly amused by their reaction, decided to entertain them.

"I wonder? What should I ever do with this food in my hands? Should I give to you guys," they all shook their heads in agreement rapidly, "or to the other pokemon that live in this forest?"

They all immediately shook their heads and looked pleadingly at Naruto.

Naruto chuckled and, deciding they had enough, gave them the food.

They didn't even wait to sit down to eat as they started digging into their food.

When the food entered their mouths for the first time, they all complimented Naruto in their own way.

"(This is amazing, Master! You should cook like this everyday!)"

"(Madara's right, Naruto! This is one of the best things I've ever eaten!)"

"(Daddy, this is really REALLY good. Please tell me your going to cook like this everyday. Please?)"

"(I'd also like to agree with their statement's, Naruto. This food is just heavenly.)"

Naruto scratched the back of his head with his left hand in embarrassment at their praises.

"Aw, thanks guys. That means a lot, but I don't think I'm that good. If it makes you guys happy, I'll cook something like this every night. How does that sound?"

"(All Right!/Hell Yeah!/YAY!/Great.)"

With their cheer, they all ate their dinner in peaceful silence as they sat next to the fire.

Almost immediately after they where done eating, Reto, Kushina, and Ippo fell asleep instantly with Reto sleeping on a branch, Ippo lying against the tree Reto was on, and Kushina falling asleep in the Naruto's lap.

Naruto smiled down at Kushina and softly stroked her head. He continued petting Kushina as he looked across to Madara, who smiled back.

They continued to enjoy the silence for a while before Madara decided to start a conversation.

"(So, Master, how are you feeling now that we got this far?)"

Naruto's smile grew softer in response.

"I've been feeling really great, Madara. Ever since I left Pallet Town, so much things have been going on already and I'm not even at Pewter City yet, but they all ended up with amazing results. Thanks to that, I have Reto, the still ever aggressive pokemon, Kushina, the little bubbly energetic pokemon, and now, Ippo, the calmest Mankey I have ever seen."

Madara chuckled as Naruto listed off each of his pokemon. It seemed that Naruto's team would consist of unique and powerful pokemon. Madara internally smirked in interest at the pokemon that would join them later on their journey.

"(I'm glad to see you happy, Master. So, what is your plan for the first gym?)"

Naruto raised an eyebrow in curiosity at Madara's question before he came up with an answer.

"Well, I know with you guys, we would easily beat most of the gyms in Kanto, but I plan to use Ippo for the gym battle. Even though I know you guys want to fight, I want to make it fair and let Ippo gain experience in fighting."

Madara nodded his head in understanding, but was slightly disappointed at not getting to fight.

As if sensing Madara's disappointment, Naruto added,

"This doesn't mean you guys don't get to fight. No, instead, you guys will be able to face me."

Madara instantly paled as he thought of all the torture they were going to go through.

Naruto, seeing Madra's expression, laughed silently to himself so as to not wake Kushina up.

Gently picking up Kushina, Naruto stood up.

"We should probably be going to sleep now."

Madara shook his head as he regained his composure and nodded.

Naruto put out the fire and went to his sleeping bag with Kushina on his chest.

"Good Night, Madara."

Madara smiled over at his trainer and lied on the floor next to him.

"(Good Night, Master.)"

They never noticed a pair of eyes curiously watching them.
