Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. Just a heads up, but their won't be any battling in this chapter because I'm still thinking on what to do to make it similar to the anime, but different at the same time. Also, I reread my story and as I was creating this chapter, I totally forgot on which directions I was heading when I first created this story. So if any of you guys got any ideas that you would like incorporated into the story, it can range from Naruto gaining a pokemon to a situation that he's dragged into, you guys can PM your ideas and It'll probably help me a lot. Before I forget, I will also be putting up a poll on who pair Naruto with. So with that,
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Pokemon, or any other anime.
Chapter 11: Strange Man, Pewter City, and Reunion with Old Classmates!
After dealing with so many things in a only a couple of days, Naruto was so exhausted by the time he reached Pewter City. His hands were on his knees as he took in some breaths.
"Finally… made… it."
Due to using most of the his Aura, Naruto couldn't use it to heal him and he had to wait a whole day or so until it recharged.
Looking up from his bent over position, he was glad to see that he made it around sunset.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Naruto wiped his forehead with his left arm and looked around. He then looked around for a place to sit until his eyes landed on a couple of rocks nearby.
Walking towards it, he swiped at the rock a couple of time before finally sitting down. Bringing his head back until his face was facing the sky, Naruto closed his eye as he released a sigh.
"Ah, that's so much better."
Before he could even relax, Naruto's peace was disrupted from a yell.
"HEY, KID!"
Naruto jumped up and off the rock as he backed up looking around.
After some time searching, his eyes rested on a man walking to his direction.
The man was at a height of 5'7 and had a brown bushy beard. He was wearing brown pants, a yellow shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a red beanie that shrouded his eyes in darkness.
The man, when he was in front of Naruto, gave him an admonishing look.
"You shouldn't be sitting on someone's property like that without their permission."
Naruto looked down at the rock before looking up at the man with a raised left eyebrow.
"This is your property? I don't see your name on it."
The man nodded and picked up the rock before turning it upside down to show the word 'Flint' on it.
"See here? This is my name and that means it's my property."
Naruto sweat dropped and, through his connections with his pokemon, also felt his team sweat drop at the man.
"Is this guy serious? How the hell was I supposed to know to flip the rock to identify the owner? Better question, why hell would someone even have a rock as property anyways?!"
The man, now identified as Flint, continued on.
"So if you want to sit on my property, you have to pay a fee. I also sell some rocks for souvenirs if you're interested."
Naruto looked at Flint incredulously before he sighed.
"Forget it. I won't even try to understand how this guy thinks. I'll just explain my situation then be on my way to a Pokemon Center."
"Sorry, sir, for sitting on your rocks. I didn't think to look under the rock and, honestly, I was so exhausted when I got here and needed a place to rest, but the Pokemon Center isn't far from here so I should be okay to walk there after resting for a couple of seconds."
Flint looked sternly at Naruto, directly in his eyes, for a while until he grew a small smile.
"I like the look in your eyes, kid, so I'll forgive you, just this once. Now, be on your way, before I take it back."
Naruto didn't need to be told twice because he didn't want to be around this guy any longer and walked to the Pokemon Center as his pokemon gave their own opinions through their link.
"(We should've fried that guy. He was creeping me out.)"
"(As much as I hate to say it, I agree with the overgrown lizard.)"
"(Yeah! The guy was really, really weird, Daddy!)"
"(Indeed, that man had a peculiar personality.)"
"(Some humans can be really strange.)"
Naruto nodded, totally agreeing with all of their opinions, but gained a curious look on his face.
"Wasn't Flint the name of the father of the current gym leader? Must be a coincidence."
Shrugging the thought, Naruto continued on his way, unaware of the eyes of Flint staring at his back.
"So it seems their legacy lives on and is starting his journey. If he's anything like his parents…"
Flint smirked.
"The world will be shaken to its core."
Pewter City
Naruto looked around in awe at the amount of buildings in Pewter City because, back in Pallet Town, the numbers of buildings paled in comparison to Pewter City.
"I guess since so much happened in the last town, I didn't get to appreciate the beauty of a city."
Smiling, Naruto continued on his way to find the Pokemon Center to heal his pokemon and a place to rest after so long.
As he was walking, he never even noticed the people of Pewter City that saw all of his actions, with several girls his age giggling with blushes on their face and the adults giving smiles, thinking how Naruto looked like a sweet and kind young boy.
It didn't take Naruto that long to find the Pokemon Center, 5 minutes to be exact, and quickly entered it.
Walking up to the Nurse Joy of Pewter City, Naruto greeted her with a smile.
"Good evening, Nurse Joy."
Nurse Joy, seeing how polite the boy was, giggled into her right hand before returning his greeting with her own genuine smile, that showed how much she enjoyed her job.
"Good evening, young man. How can I help you today?"
Here, Naruto sheepishly scratched that back of his head, not unlike his mother.
"If it isn't too much trouble, could I have my pokemon be healed and a room to rest? It has been an exhausting few days."
Seeing signs of fatigue on the boy, Nurse Joy gave a slight frown, wondering what could have made a boy no older than 10 so tired, before her smile came back.
"Of course it isn't much trouble and you're in luck, young man. There is one more room left open. All you need to do is insert your Pokedex in here so we can get the payment for the cost of the room, which is around 150 Poke Dollars, and make sure no one else can enter your room without your permission."
Then a slot on the counter seemed to open and Naruto, without any hesitation, easily placed his blackish red pokedex in, not worried in the least about losing some cash.
This was because Naruto, thanks to his ability to create several types of inventions, sold some of his useful ones that helped with daily lives, that he didn't mind anyone else using, under the alias of 'Maelstrom' and also, this thought slightly saddened him, the money left behind from his parents for him after they died, which was a lot considering their old positions, but only was able to get a fraction of it because he wasn't 18 yet.
The counter seemed to shine white and chime several times until a robotic voice was heard.
"Room 9 now occupied by Trainer Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze from Pallet Town."
When Nurse Joy heard who Naruto was, her eyes widened and gasped, getting a worried glance from Naruto.
"What's wrong, Nurse Joy?"
Nurse Joy seemed to jump at the voice until she registered the words in her head. Shaking her head, Nurse Joy looked back at Naruto with an awe-look on her face.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I remember the Nurse Joy from Virdian City told me of a unique and kind boy who had an incredible and equally unique set of pokemon would probably be arriving, which appears to be you."
Naruto scratched the back of his head with is right hand as he blushed bashfully while he could sense through the link with his pokemon, his pokemon, aside from Ippo and Suzumebachi, had feelings of smugness, causing him to sweat drop.
"Oi, Oi, seriously? What the hell guys?"
Internally shaking the thought away, Naruto replied back.
"I don't think that I'm that great. My pokemon," here Naruto grew a fond smile as he continued with pride in his voice, "now, those guys are the ones that are truly great. There aren't any other of their species as special as them and I wouldn't trade them for anything, even if it's something like 100 Master Balls, believe it!"
Nurse Joy, who was watching his expression as he talked about his pokemon, was in total agreement with the Nurse Joy from Virdian. Naruto was a kind young boy that you don't see everyday that could speak about their pokemon with such admiration and devotion.
When she heard his verbal tic, Nurse Joy yet again giggled into her right hand, causing Naruto to blush.
"My, such a humble young man and cute too with that little verbal tic of yours."
Being reminded that he said his verbal tic out loud, Naruto's blush spread even more across his face.
"Damn it! I freaking hate when I do that! It's so embarrassing! Ugh, I just want to die right now."
While Naruto was complaining about his verbal tic, his pokemon suddenly lost their feelings of smugness and were, instead, feeling incredibly happy that they had such a great trainer like Naruto.
They all thought, even Suzumebachi and Ippo who only recently joined, the exact same thing.
"(We'll always be by your side and do our best to make you proud of us.)"
Nurse Joy then handed back to Naruto, who got over his embarrassment, his pokedex. After that, she gestured to the cart on his right that a nearby Chansey was pushing.
"Just leave your pokemon here and we will heal them in the back. We'll later inform you of when you can pick them up."
Nodding, Naruto turned to the Chansey and greeted her with a smile, causing it to give a cheer. He then took his 5 Pokeballs off his belt and charged his Aura into them before placing them on the tray.
Turning to Nurse Joy with a begging and worried look that startled her, Naruto gave a heads up.
"When you unlock my pokemon to heal them, please don't tell anyone what they are because I don't want anyone to try and steal my pokemon."
Even though he knew that the Pokeballs were secure with the Seals, he was extremely worried about them when they were outside their pokeballs.
Seeing how truly worried he was about his pokemon being, Nurse Joy reassured him with a smile.
"Don't worry. No matter what type of pokemon they are, I won't tell a soul. Pokemon Trainer confidentiality and all."
Naruto sighed in relief before giving her a grateful look that Nurse Joy relied with a kind smile. She then gestured to her right of her, causing him to look in that direction seeing a hall.
"While we heal your pokemon, you may rest in your room that's just down this hall. To enter your room, just insert your pokedex into the slot under the door handle and it will unlock. Just remember, when you are ready to leave, come back here and we will deregister you from the room."
Naruto nodded, taking all the information and remembering every detail, and she continued, this time gesturing to her left, where there was foot court of sorts.
"Also, after you are done getting situated into the room, you may eat here, where you can either eat the food provided for you or you may ask to use the kitchen to cook your own food, but you must have your own ingredients."
Naruto smiled at the information she provided and said,
"Got it. Thanks for all of your help, Nurse Joy."
Her smile just got bigger in response.
"It's no trouble at all, Naruto," here she slightly backed up and bowed, "Enjoy your stay here and if you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask any of our staff or myself for assistance."
Naruto thanked her one last time before he left towards his room.
Nurse Joy watched as he left to his room until his form disappeared.
"He's one unique child. Humble, Kind, and Charming. He's one in a million. When he grows up, there is no doubt that he'll have several admirers."
Remembering how easily flustered the boy could get, Nurse Joy giggled into her right hand.
"I haven't laughed this much in a long time. Whoever snatches them for themselves will be only lucky girl."
Back with Naruto
Naruto walked the halls looking for his room with his hands on the back of his head as he thought about the events that happened in the past few days.
"Let's see. I battled with an aggressive Pidgey who I caught as soon as I defeated it, kicked several Spearows' ass, gained a MEW through an egg, fought a calm Mankey who later became my pokemon, saved a little girl from a group of Growlithe, beat the shit out of some people working for an evil organization who kidnapped a little girl's pokemon, met a incredibly insightful Weedle, battle with a boy named Samurai, and saved said boy's Butterfree."
Realizing how much things he did in such little time, Naruto sighed as he brushed his hair from the top to the back with his right hand.
Naruto muttered to himself as he continued looking for his room.
"I seriously need a break."
After some time, 6-7 minutes to be exact, he found a door with the number 9 on it.
Taking out his pokedex, Naruto inserted it into the slot under the handle and, like Nurse Joy said, the door unlocked.
Turning the handle, Naruto opened the door and looked in his room.
It was a medium sized room with a bed on the right against the wall with a drawer that had a clock on the top of it, which read 6:45 PM, next to it, a window on the wall Naruto was facing, and a door on the wall on the left, which he immediately identified as the bathroom.
Closing the door behind him, Naruto took his black backpack off and placed at the feet of the bed.
Looking around the room, Naruto crossed his arms over his chest as he thought on what to do.
"Well, it'll take a while until the gang is healed, so I guess I'll take a shower and go to the food court to see if I can cook something to eat."
Deciding what to do, Naruto went to his backpack and took out his capsule case. Opening it, he searched through the case until he finally found one labeled 'Clothes'.
Grabbing it with his right hand and putting the case back in his backpack, he pressed the button on the top with his thumb and threw it on top of the bed. Smoke erupted from the capsule and when it cleared, a gigantic traveling bag was shown resting on the bed.
Unzipping the bag, Naruto opened his bag and several clothing of different colors were shown. Contemplating on what to wear, he decided to wear some boxer briefs with frogs on them, dark blue shorts that went passed his knees, and a white shirt with a red swirl in the middle that seemed to be on fire.
With clothes on hand and a towel he also grabbed from the bag, Naruto headed to the bathroom and started his shower.
Few minutes later, he was exiting the bathroom with steam coming from the room as his usually spiky blond hair was flat against his head with a towel on it.
Naruto sighed as he grabbed the ends of the towel with his hands when it was resting on his neck and his head facing the ceiling. Giving a content sigh, Naruto said,
"Now that's better. It feels great taking a shower after a eventful day."
Looking at the clock, which said 6:55 PM, seeing that he had more time left and that his stomach growled in hunger, Naruto then decided to go to the food court to cook some food.
Going back to his backpack, he took out a capsule with the word 'Cooler' on it and activated it. Once the cooler appeared, he opened it up and grabbed ingredients for some Curry Rice.
Putting it all in a bag, Naruto left his room with his pokedex in his pocket and locked the door behind him. He then proceeded to the food court and looked in the bag to make sure he had the ingredients he needed and to make sure none of them of expired.
"Looks like I got everything. They aren't too old so it's still good to use."
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Naruto stopped looking in the bag, that was held in his left hand, and just as he was continuing on is way, he knocked into someone.
Due to his training, his body was incredibly tough and thanks to that, Naruto didn't fall down to the ground, unlike the other person who fell completely on their ass.
Getting worried, Naruto hastily got down into a crouch and grabbed the person's left shoulder in concern.
"Hey, I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"
The person, who was rubbing their butt in pain, looked up at Naruto with their eyes slowly opening.
"I'm alright. Thank you for your-"
The person stopped in the middle of their sentence as soon as they saw who it was that knocked her down by accident.
Both their eyes widened in surprise and they both said,
"Hinata!"
"Naruto!"
