Chapter 7: The Curious Weedle
Naruto slowly opened his eyes as the sunlight hit his eyes. He sat up as slow as he could as Kushina was still sleeping and he didn't want to disturb her from her sleep.
Once he was upright with Kushina on his lap, he yawned as he stretched his arms above his head, where his eyes were forced closed due to the yawn, until they fell with his right hand scratching the back of his head.
His eyes opened and he blinked owlishly as he observed something in front of his sleeping bag.
In front of him was a small larva Pokémon with a beige, yellow, or rust-colored segmented body. Combined with its red, purple, or fuchsia nose and feet, it also had a conical, two-inch venomous stinger on its head and a barbed one on its tail, but its other body parts are spherical.
This pokemon was Weedle, the Bug/Poison Type pokemon.
Naruto and the Weedle stared at each other for a while in awkward silence until Naruto lifted his left hand and waved.
"Um, hi."
The Weedle stared at him for long time until it replied with a nod.
Naruto, not knowing what to do in this type of situation, looked around to see if any of his pokemon were nearby and knew why there was a Weedle in front of him, but was disappointed to see that they were still asleep.
He looked back at the Weedle and scratched the back of his head with a curious look on his face.
"Why are you here little guy? Did you get lost from your family?"
The Weedle, yet again stared at him for a long time, until it shook it's head no. It then decided to talk as if it were testing something.
"(I'm not lost at all. It's just that I saw you with your pokemon and curiosity took over so I decided to observe your group. Your unique group of pokemon and your interaction with them intrigues me. It's as if you can understand what pokemon are saying.)"
Naruto blinked multiple times as he tried to process all the words of the Weedle just said.
The Weedle looked at Naruto while he was processing the words in his head and sighed to itself as it believed that Naruto couldn't understand a word it was saying. It was surprised, though, when Naruto did in fact reply to it's statement.
"Well, you didn't have to hide and observe us. You could've just came out from hiding and we would've been fine with you hanging around and just watching and stuff. Also, I guess my pokemon are unique in their own way if anyone else were to look at them."
The Weedle looked at Naruto with it's eyes wide in suprise before they retuned to normal, but a gleam could be seen in it's eyes.
"(So, the rumors of an Aura Guardian that is able to talk to there pokemon is true, but I didn't think that they would such a young child. Interesting.)"
The Weedle's stomach growled and it asked Naruto a question.
"(Is it ok with you if I join you and your pokemon for breakfast? I'm quite famished as I haven't hadn't anything to eat in a while.)"
Naruto chuckled at his question as he heard the Weedle's stomach growl from his position.
"Sure. I'll just have to get up and start cooking so you'll have to wait a while."
The Weedle nodded as it crawled over to a nearby tree stump to watch as Naruto prepared the food.
Naruto picked up Kushina gently into his arms and stood up. He, once fully upright, placed her back on the sleeping bag, where he smiled softly when he saw that she buried her face more into the sleeping bag, and walked over to the piles of wood next to the campfire that was out as they put it out when they went to sleep.
He picked up some wood and placed it within the circle of rocks. When he felt satisfied with the amount of wood placed in the circle, Naruto got back up and went over to his backpack, that was near Madara, and picked it up as he took it back with him.
Naruto dug through his backpack, looking for something. Finding the objects he was looking for, he pulled his hands out, with a lighter in right hand and a bag barbecue sticks in his left hand. He put the lighter on the floor and took out a stick, where he placed the rest of the stick back into the backpack. He picked up the lighter from the floor and lit the end of the stick with it. He then threw the stick into the pile of wood, causing it to ignite.
Once the fire was ignited, Naruto placed the lighter back into his backpack and took out a spatula, where he placed it on his lap. He then took his capsule case, opened it, and started to look through it. He took out a capsule labeled 'F-Pan' and activated it, causing a puff of smoke to appear.
It cleared up and it showed Naruto with a frying pan in his left hand.
He placed the frying pan on his lap after he placed the spatula on top of it and took out another capsule. He activated it and, this time, he threw it to an unoccupied area, causing a big cloud of smoke to appear. It revealed that in the capsule was a table that came with it's own customary benches attached to it on both sides.
Naruto took out some butter and bread from his backpack as he started to cook over the fire.
As soon as the butter hit the pan, it sizzled as it was heated by the fire, this caused all of Naruto's pokemon to start waking up as each of their ears were more sensitive than humans.
When they were fully awake, they looked around until their eyes landed on Naruto cooking some bread.
Their eyes gleamed in hunger and they each appeared at the table, that Naruto set out, in their own unique way with Kushina using Teleport, Madara flying over the the table with his incredible speed, Reto using Agility to fly over as well, and Ippo, using his incredible leg strength, jumped all the way to the table with a backflip in midair.
Naruto, who was still cooking, chuckled as he saw how eager they were to eat some breakfast.
After a few minutes, Naruto finished cooking and he placed the bread that he cooked onto a plate he pulled out from his backpack.
He stood up and walked over to the table and smiled at his pokemon. He placed the plate down on the table and he said,
"Here you go, guys. I didn't cook much as it is only breakfast, but here's some bread that are spread with some special butter that I created."
They all said their thanks and each took two as they ate it with joy.
Naruto, once they all took their share, went over to the Weedle, who was staring at the bread in Naruto's hands hungrily.
Naruto bent down and placed the plate in front of Weedle and said,
"I know it's not much, but I hope that you enjoy it."
Naruto took one piece for himself from the plate and left the rest of them to the Weedle, which was 3-4 pieces.
The Weedle, despite his hunger, cautiously approached the plate and smelled it. It looked over at Naruto, who was currently eating the bread at a sedate pace, and turned back to it's plate. It immediately dug in as it saw Naruto eat the bread without hesitation.
When it took a bite out of the bread, the Weedle was in total amazement at how exquisite the bread tasted and dug into it's food at incredible speeds.
It finished all the bread within a minute or so.
Hearing a chuckle, the Weedle turned to the noise and saw that it was Naruto, who was currently staring at the Weedle with amusement, causing it to blush in embarrassment.
"(I apologize for my manners. Your food was simply heavenly and it temporarily made me forget my manners.)"
Naruto chuckled some more in amusement while he waved his left hand in front of his face.
"It's alright. If I was extremely hungry like you, then I bet I would do the same as you. Also, I don't think it was that great. It's just some bread with butter that I created and nothing else. Probably just your hunger making you think that the food tasted better than it should."
The Weedle stared at Naruto, who currently had his eyes closed, with amusement.
"(My, such a modest young man. Only if everyone was like him.)"
"(Hey Daddy, who's that?)"
Naruto and the Weedle turned to the voice that spoke and showed that it was Kushina who asked the question while the rest of the team looked at Naruto questioningly as well.
Naruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment for forgetting to introduce himself and his team to the Weedle.
"Hehe, sorry guys, I forgot to introduce you guys, as well as myself, to Weedle," he turned to Weedle, who was looking at him expectingly, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze and these guys are Madara: My Charizard, Reto: My Pidgeotto, Kushina: My MEW, and Ippo: My Mankey. Guys, this is Weedle who was watching us yesterday and was curious about us."
Weedle looked at Naruto's team and was amused on how they each greeted it.
Madara gave a smirk as his eyes glowed while they spun.
Reto also gave a smirk and nodded.
Kushina waved happily at it with her little appendage.
Ippo put his hands together and bowed.
Weedle turned back to Naruto.
"(You have quite the interesting team here, Naruto.)"
Naruto smiled happily.
"Thanks! These guys are the best pokemon I could've asked for and I wouldn't trade them for the world."
They were happy to hear Naruto's statement, even Ippo who only recently joined and felt happy being apart of his team, and they all, besides Ippo who decided to stand in the sides with a smile, dog piled him, surprising him as he grunted when he fell to the floor with them on top.
They just laughed while the Weedle looked on with a smile as it thought.
"(They don't act like trainer and pokemon, but act like a family that love each other with all their heart. Just maybe, I found the trainer I've been looking for.)"
