Chapter 10: Metapod Kidnapping
The boy took a Pokeball from his hip out and he threw it at the same time Naruto threw his Pokeball, who didn't know that Naruto actually charged some of his Aura into it.
"COME ONE OUT, IPPO!/AIDE ME IN THIS BATTLE, PINSIR!"
As soon as those words came out of their mouths, both pokeballs hit each other in the middle of the field and opened up, releasing the Pokemon within as the pokeball was caught back into the respective trainer's hands.
Naruto internally cheered as he saw the Seal work properly and didn't seem to have any problem working.
Ippo, when came out of his pokeball, did a back flip to get some distance and got into a fighting stance, observing his opponent as he did so.
The pokemon the boy sent out, who was identified as Pinsir, was a bipedal pokemon with a wide, dull brown body and a large pair of gray, spiky pincers on top of its head. It's mouth contained long teeth arranged horizontally. It's legs were short and thick while in comparison, its arms were long and thin. Each limb ended with 3 grey claws and it's eyes looked as if it was angry.
Naruto smirked a little as he saw how pumped up Ippo was into finally having a real fight.
Looking across, he realized he never got the name of the boy because of the argument they had before.
"Hey kid."
The boy from across him looked at Naruto with a questioning look.
"I forgot to ask, what was your name? My name's Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze."
The boy grinned as he stood straighter while at the same time he brought his left thumb to his chest.
"I go by the name of Samurai. and it is my honor to face one such as yourself, Naruto."
Naruto chuckled nervously as he, and even Weedle and Ippo, sweat dropped at his name.
"Wow. Really? What kind of parents name their child Samurai?"
Seeing how Samurai seemed to take pride in his name, he couldn't help but smile.
"Well, I guess I can't be judging considering my name could be translated to a Ramen Topping."
Thinking more about the boy's name, Naruto's smile changed back into his previous smirk.
"What's funny is his name is Samurai and I always felt like ninja. Ninja vs Samurai, huh?"
Getting out of his thoughts, Naruto concentrated back into the battle.
"Powerful name you have there, Samurai. Whenever you're ready, we can begin."
The boy now identified as Samurai gave a bigger grin.
"Thank you, Naruto and I think I'm ready so let us proceed with the fight."
Naruto nodded and picked up a pebble from nearby.
Lifting the pebble to show to Samurai, Naruto said,
"I'm going toss this pebble in the air and when it hits the ground, we start giving commands to our pokemon, ok?"
Samurai gave a nod in return and Naruto tossed the pebble in the air.
The pebble, for both the trainer's and there pokemon, seemed to take such an incredible length of time to fall down. When the pebble was halfway from hitting the ground, Ippo bent his legs preparing to rush while the Pinsir brought down his head, as if getting ready to use it's huge claws on its head.
Finally, the pebble hit the ground and the first one to give a command was Samurai.
"Quickly, Pinsir use Vice Grip and follow with Seismic Toss!"
The Pinsir opened his thin arms and started to run at Ippo with surprising speeds for a pokemon its size, but to Ippo and Naruto, who trained in even faster speed, saw it at a snail's pace.
"Ippo, get low when Pinsir is in front of you and using its speed against it, use Low Kick!"
The Samurai, seeing were this was going, tried to command the Pinsir to stop.
"PINSIR, STOP!"
Pinsir tried to stop his attack, but it was too late because it was already in front of Ippo, who gave a grin.
Ippo immediately spun with his right leg out while at the same time got lower. The leg made contact with Pinsir's legs, causing said pokemon to fall to the ground face first with a slam due to it's speed and the speed at which Ippo spun being used against it.
Ippo stood back up as he looked down at the Pinsir with a smirk, thinking it was defeated.
Samurai sudden command, though, made Naruto and Ippo jump.
"Pinsir, while your close, use Bind!"
Naruto's eyes widened as he realized his mistake in also believing that Pinsir was defeated.
"Ippo, hurry before it's too late! Jump out of the way!"
Ippo, who was just as surprised as his trainer, had little time to dodge and therefore, ended up failing to escape as Pinsir made some vines grow and hold Ippo in place.
Naruto cursed mentally at himself.
"What the hell is wrong with me?! I can't be getting arrogant just because of my powers and how fast my pokemon are progressing."
Samurai then ordered,
"Good job, Pinsir. Now that it's being held, use Revenge and get some payback."
Pinsir got back up and his left hand glowed with a red aura. It then looked at Ippo, who winced because of the vines grip and the pain that was about to come, and gave an evil grin. Pulling back his left arm as far as it could, he sent it at Ippo's face.
Ippo gave out a pained groan.
"Ippo!"
Samurai was incredibly happy as he finally thought he would win a fight.
"Yes, after many loses, I will finally achieve a victory!"
Naruto brought his left hand up to his mouth his he bit on the nail of his thumb.
"What am I going to do?! How can I get him out of there?"
Looking closely at the trapped Ippo, he suddenly came up with idea at the same time Samurai gave a command.
"Pinsir, finish this with Brick Break./Ippo, quick, use Screech then cut the vine holding your leg with Scratch!"
Pinsir, who was getting his right arm ready to use Brick Break, suddenly had to use its hands to cover its ears as Ippo's Screech gave him unbearable pain. While Pinsir was occupied blocking its ears, Ippo took that chance and used Scratch on the vine, easily cutting it.
Naruto, now that Ippo was free, yelled,
"Now, Ippo, use Focus Energy and follow up with Karate Chop and end this with Assurance!"
Ippo, without hesitation, followed command and his form relaxed as it cleared his mind and concentrated on using more power in it's next move. His right arm glowed white and he brought it up high in the air before hitting the unprepared Pinsir in the face.
The Pinsir backed up and brought his hands now to his face as he held it in pain while Samurai tried giving it commands, but he didn't know that it's ears were still ringing.
Ippo then jumped at Pinsir with his hands now together as his hands were shrouded with a black aura and brought down on Pinsir's head, shattering the claws on his head and knocking the Pinsir out cold, easily shown by the swirls in its eyes.
Seeing that this time it was finally down, Ippo brought his hands up in the air as it cheered, even though he was incredibly exhausted.
Naruto came up to Ippo and ben down to his level to give him a fist bump.
"I'm proud of you buddy. You did an incredible job out there, but we were both a little arrogant to think that Pinsir would be defeated so easily. I guess we both have to work on keeping our egos in check, huh?"
Ippo was discouraged a little at that, but chuckled at the end of it.
"(You are right, Naruto. We'll work on that together and we can make sure the other isn't arrogant next time.)"
Naruto smiled at Ippo, glad to see that his words didn't make him feel so bad.
"I look forward to it. For now, get some rest. You deserve it after training and battling so hard."
Ippo nodded to Naruto in thanks and Naruto took his pokeball out. Tapping the ball to Ippo's head, Ippo was returned into the ball in a red light.
Getting up, Naruto was able to see Samurai thank his Pinsir for his handwork and returned it, just like he did. He noticed that Samurai brought his head down and guessed that he was a little depressed about losing so he said with a smile,
"I have to say Samurai. Your Pinsir was one powerful opponent and it's incredible to see how well trained it seems to be."
Samurai brought his head back up and saw that Naruto was giving him a genuine smile so he gave a big grin.
"Thank you, Naruto. That means a incredible deal to me."
Naruto nodded with smile still in place.
"Your welcome. Now, how about we get back into the fight?"
Samurai jumped a little in excitement as he realized there was still one more fight to go.
"Yeah! Let's do this!"
While Samurai got out his pokeball, Naruto turned his head to the left to look at Weedle.
"So, I guess it's your time to fight. Do you really not mind that I'll be giving you commands?"
The Weedle stared right in his eyes and said,
"(As I said before, it is quite alright. In fact, I was actually going to ask if it would be alright join your team?)"
Naruto, hearing those words, gave an excited smile.
"Really?! Oh man, it would be so cool to have you on the team!"
Surprised by his outburst, Weedle backed her head back a little until she remembered that Naruto, despite being incredible smart and mature for his age, was still 10 year old boy.
Giving him a smile, the Weedle thought.
"(Yes, he's the perfect trainer. Being kind, strong, and still having fun as a child should, despite being incredibly mature.)"
Taking the Weedle's smile as a yes, Naruto jumped in the air with his right hand pumped up in the air.
"Awesome!"
When he was on ground again, Naruto turned his head at the startled Weedle.
"You won't regret joining the team, Weedle. I promise I'll make you the strongest and happiest pokemon ever and Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze never breaks a promise, believe it!"
Realizing what he said, Naruto blushed up a storm while the Weedle was giggling at his reaction.
"(I look forward to being apart of the team.)"
Naruto just gave a smile so big that his eyes were forced to close, making him look like a Vulpix or it's evolution, Ninetails.
"Um, why are you so happy, Naruto?"
Hearing a voice, Naruto and Weedle turned their heads to see it was Samurai holding his pokeball.
Naruto scratched the back of his head with his right arm with a blush on his face while the Weedle looked a little sheepish.
"Hehe, sorry about that. It's just that this Weedle on my shoulder actually was a wild pokemon, but decided to be my pokemon just now."
Samurai smiled at that.
"That's incredible, Naruto. I am happy for your achievement of acquiring such a fine bug pokemon like Weedle."
Naruto thanked him for his words and Samurai said,
"I believe it is time for us to begin the 2nd round, it it not?"
Getting used to the way he talks, Naruto agreed and Weedle jumped off his shoulder.
As Weedle was walking(crawling?) to the battlefield, Naruto said,
"Hey, Weedle," she stopped and turned her head to him, "so after this fight, I'll catch you and give you a nickname. Would you mind if I gave you one?"
Weedle stared at him for a few seconds before it gave an eye smile and nodded.
Taking out his pokedex, Naruto pointed it at Weedle and checked her stats.
"Might as well check to see what her moves are."
*BEEP*
Weedlethe hairy bug pokemon. Its poison stinger is very powerful. Its bright-colored body is intended to warn off its enemies. This Weedle is female and is level 6. Its moves are Poison Sting and String Shot.
Nodding at the information he gained, Naruto turned his attention back to the field.
Samurai, after Weedle was on the battlefield, threw his second pokeball.
"AIDE ME IN THIS BATTLE, METAPOD!"
The pokeball opened in midair and sent out a white light before the ball returned to Samurai's hands.
The white light cleared from the pokeball and revealed its form.
Metapod's whole form was similar to a chrysalis. Its body, which was green, appeared to be hard as stone.
Naruto and Weedle looked at Metapod to see if it would do anything.
It did absolutely nothing.
They sweat dropped and Naruto turned his attention to Samurai, who seemed to be pumped up.
"Um, Samurai," Samurai looked at Naruto, showing he was listening, "did you by any chance catch this Metapod in the wild?"
Samurai gave a proud nod, which answered all of his questions.
Naruto sighed because he knew this was going to be a boring battle since a Metapod in the wild pretty much knew nothing, except Harden.
"Ok, then, let's get this battle started. Weedle use Poison Sting."
Weedle quickly rushed to the Metapod and stabbed it's body with her stinger on the top of her head that was purple.
The Metapod was sent flying and hit a tree.
Samurai, shockingly enough, still seemed confident.
"Metapod use Harden to strengthen your defenses."
Metapod slightly glared at Weedle and used Harden, making it's body shine silver before disappearing, leaving Metapod with shinier, tougher looking skin.
Naruto waited to see if Samurai would give another order, but when none came, he sighed again.
"Weedle use String Shot and wrap Metapod's body before throwing it at a tree."
Weedle, also being disappointed in this fight, followed the order lazily as it used String Shot and, without any effort, threw Metapod at another tree.
Samurai looked like he was still confident, but if you look closely, you would see a bead of sweat falling from his forehead.
"No worries. Metapod use Harden yet again and make your defenses EVEN stronger than before."
Just like last time, Metapod used Harden and it's body shined silver again before disappearing.
Deciding that this battle was going no where, Naruto planned to end it.
"Weedle, let's end this already. Use—
His sentence was interrupted by sounds of multiple buzzing hit Naruto's and Samurai's ears.
Samurai was confused about the sound and wondered what it was while Naruto used his ability to use Aura to sense around the area.
His eyes widened as he felt what it was and quickly ran to Weedle to pick her up. Putting her on his shoulder, Naruto turned his attention to the confused Samurai.
"We got to leave quick! A swarm of Beedrill are heading this way!"
This immediately got Samurai to tense in fear and before he could act, the swarm of Beedrill appeared out of the forest from the direction of Naruto's tent, which contained his backpack and pokemon.
Naruto cursed at forgetting his pokemon and not having the energy to use his Aura or Psychic powers because of the training from before. He reminded himself to go back to the tent when the Beedrill were gone.
Luckily for them, the Beedrill didn't notice them yet.
He then started to push Samurai from his back to get to start running.
"Come on, Samurai! We got to go before the Beedrill notice us and go after us!"
This made Samurai shake himself out of his fear.
"Ok, got it. Let's go."
As they were about to start running, Samurai remembered that his Metapod wasn't with him.
Turning around, he went back go get his Metapod but was stopped by Naruto's hand holding his shoulder.
"Where are you going?!"
"I have to go get back Metapod!"
Seeing that Metapod was still by the tree it was thrown at, Naruto let go of his shoulder, but said a warning.
"Ok, but hurry up before they notice us."
Samurai nodded and started to run towards Metapod, but the swarm of Beedrill finally noticed them and started to fly towards their group.
Naruto cursed and yelled at Samurai.
"SAMURAI! HURRY, THE BEEDRILL ARE COMING!"
Samurai reached out with his right arm to try and get Metapod, but a Beedrill swooped in and took the Metapod.
"METAPOD! NO!"
"SHIT!"
Naruto, as fast as he could, picked up Samurai and putting him on his back before running away from the Beedrill, narrowly avoiding being stung.
Samurai, while on Naruto's back as they were chased by the Beedrill, yelled,
"Why did you run?! My Metapod was just taken by those Beedrill! Why didn't we go and fight them?!"
Naruto made a quick right and immediately went behind a tree. He then put his hand on Samurai's mouth to make him quiet and waited.
Soon enough, the Beedrill appeared and looked around before they gave up and started to fly off to the East.
When he heard no more buzzing, Naruto sighed and let Samurai down, who was glaring up at him. Naruto just sent him a stern look and said,
"The reason why we could't fight them is because both are pokemon are exhausted and my other pokemon were back in my tent."
Samurai, listening to his words, just brought down his head because he knew Naruto was right, but was still sad his pokemon was taken away. Thinking about it, Samurai started to cry.
Naruto's face softened up as he saw Samurai cry. He placed his right hand on his shoulder, making him look up, and told him some reassuring words.
"Don't worry, Samurai. We'll get your Metapod back, safe and sound."
Samurai slowly stopped crying until he only had tears on the brim of his eyes as he looked up at Naruto's face.
"R-r-really?"
Naruto gave him a grin.
"Of course! I promise that you'll get your Metapod back in no time and I never break a promise!"
Samurai could hear the sincerity in his words and smiled back at him.
"Thanks, Naruto."
Naruto's grin just got bigger in response.
"Your welcome. Now," here he looked towards the direction the Beedrill left, "let's go."
Samurai got determined and nodded his head.
Beedrill Hive
Hiding behind a bush, Naruto, Weedle, and Samurai watched to see what the Beedrill were doing.
From their spot, they could see several Beedrill flying around as they tended to Kakuna and Weedle. They looked around until finally they saw that Metapod was in the middle.
Ducking back down, Naruto turned to Samurai and Weedle to explain his plan.
"Okay. I guess they mistook your Metapod as a Kakuna and took him to their hive, but don't worry. I have a plan to save him," he focused on Weedle, "Weedle, when I the signal, I want you to shoot a String Shot at Metapod and that's when," focuses on Samurai, "you get ready to catch Metapod when Weedle pulls him in. Got it?"
Weedle and Samurai nodded with serious and determined faces.
Naruto gave them an approving look and bent down to get Weedle and placed her on his left shoulder. He raised his left arm slightly up in the air and, when he saw the Beedrill were away from Metapod's direction, brought it down.
Weedle immediately used String Shot and it easily hit Metapod. Giving a yank, Metapod instantly went flying towards their direction. Samurai then jumped up a little and caught Metapod in his arms.
Samurai looked down to see Metapod was looking up at him and he teared up before hugging Metapod.
"Oh, I'm so glad your back Metapod. I swear on my honor as a Samurai to never let you get captured again."
Metapod, hearing the honesty in his voice, also teared up because he was so happy that his trainer didn't abandon him and actually saved him.
Naruto and Weedle off to the side looked at the scene with a smile until they heard a buzzing sound get louder.
Hastily looking out of the bush, they saw that the Beedrill were heading in their direction and the Kakuna behind them were evolving.
"Shit!"
Naruto cursed and grabbed Samurai's arm. He then dragged him as they started to run away from the Beedrill.
As they ran, Samurai started to get tired and wasn't aware of a rock in the ground and tripped.
Naruto turned around to see Samurai on the ground with Metapod in his arms as the Beedrill was flying towards them.
"SAMURAI!"
Samurai turned behind him to see the Beedrill getting closer and he looked back down at Metapod. He hugged his pokemon and said,
"Don't worry, Metapod. I'm not going to let them hurt you. I will protect you with my life."
Metapod's eyes widened at his trainer's words and couldn't help but feel touched. Looking beyond his trainer, his eyes grew determined before he glowed white.
Everyone in the clearing stopped moving as they watched Metapod glow. Naruto, Weedle, and Samurai looked at Metapod in awe as Metapod started to fly out of Samurai's arms and his form immediately changed.
When the glowing cleared, Metapod was shown in a new form.
His new form resembled a butterfly and has 2 body segments and 4 light blue legs/ It has 2 black antennae, a light blue snout with 2 fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes. Its wings were white with black accents.
Naruto broke out of his trance and took out his pokedex. Pointing it at Samurai's pokemon, he activated the pokedex.
*BEEP*
Butterfree,the butterfly pokemon. The wings are protected by rain-repellent dust. As a result, this Pokemon can fly about even in rain. This Butterfree is level 12 and is male. It's moves are Harden, Confusion, Poison Powder, Stun Spore, and Sleep Powder.
The now identified Butterfree gave out a cry and flapped its wings at the Beedrill, causing green powder to spread and making them fall asleep.
Samurai, after the Beedrill fell asleep, excitedly ran up to Butterfree.
"You were wonderful, Butterfree! I can't believe you evolved!"
Butterfree gave happy cries and Naruto with Weedle on his shoulder were watching the scene with smiles.
After Samurai returned Butterfree and Naruto went back to his tent to pack up his stuff, Naruto and Samurai stood on a dirt road heading for Pewter City.
Samurai watched as Naruto bent down to the ground and let Weedle crawl to the floor. Weedle turned back around and looked at Naruto, expectantly.
Naruto took an empty pokeball from his bag and held it in his left hand.
Looking back down at the expectant Weedle, he let a grin come to his face.
Lifting the pokeball up, he said,
"Ready to make this official?"
Weedle didn't say anything and just nodded.
Naruto's grin just got bigger and he threw the pokeball in the air as Weedle jumped to meet it.
"Welcome to the team, Suzumebachi!"
The now named Suzumebachi hit the pokeball with her head and was instantly captured without resistance.
Naruto leaned over and picked up the pokeball.
Saying some words to the pokeball, Naruto attached the ball onto his belt.
Getting up, he turned to Samurai and stuck his right hand out, who responded in kind, as they shook hands.
"You're a marvelous trainer, Samurai. I hope we can see each other in the future and battle again."
Samurai gave a big grin.
"I also believe you're an extraordinary trainer, Naruto and the next time we fight, I'll win for sure."
Naruto chuckled as he let his hand drop from the handshake.
"I'll look forward to it."
With that, Naruto started walking towards Pewter City as he waved with his right hand.
Naruto brought back down and clenched it into a fist with a grin.
"It's time for me to catch up. Look out, here I come!"
