Correction!: All things Naruto-ish do NOT belong to Cartoon Network. They belong to the random people in Japan who made them. 99.9% of that goes to libithewolf for being the best picky editor ever, and .1% credit goes to me for the way I said it.
Yup, sandydragon, I do read Naruto now, thanks to you. I'm on like chapter 30 something in the manga. I also watch Naruto Shippuden on Disney XD. I'm on Episode 6.
Alright, I need to clear up confusion. The first chapter has nothing to do with Pokemon, and takes place in the Hidden Leaf Village. As you saw. BUT! We do NOT go to the world of Pokemon! No Kanto, Johto, etc. I will only use Kanto Pokemon unless I say something different. The Pokemon are brought to the Naruto world. I picked the world of Anime for this, even though that was under Pokemon.
See my profile. I have Sam Umino on there, so that's her official description. It includes obvious plot spoilers, so be happy.

Sam Umino sat down next to a tree about 2 kilometers (3.22 miles) from the Hidden Leaf Village with the duffel bag in her hand. She didn't have a lot of stamina*, and needed to rest. Sighing, the young girl closed her eyes...

"Sam?"

Sam opened her eyes to see someone looking at her.

"There you are!" the stranger smiled. "We've been looking everywhere for you. Come on, let's go back to the Hidden Leaf Village!"

Sam stood up. "Who are you?"

"Well...you can just call me Yoshin." The stranger winked. "Come on, let's go."

Sam followed 'Yoshin' through the forest, and finally got the courage to ask something she had been wondering. "Why are you rescuing me? No one cares about me. No one cares."

"Oh, Sam," Yoshin sighed. "If only you knew. People care about you."

Suddenly, the two of them stopped next to a tree that looked exactly like the one Sam had sat down next to when Yoshin found her.

"Rest here," Yoshin told her. "We will continue when you are ready..."

Sam woke up next to the tree. "Yoshin?" she asked, looking around. But no one was there.

It was only a dream.

Of course it was only a dream. "Stupid," Sam muttered. "No one cares about you. It was only a dream."

Suddenly, something caught Sam's eye. Something...shiny. Like a gold color. Curious, Sam stood up and walked towards it and found herself face-to-face with a shiny Pikachu.

"Hello there," Sam greeted it. "I'm Sam. Who are you?"

"Pika," the shiny Pikachu replied.

"You look like.....you seem familiar," Sam thought out loud.

"PIKA! PIKACHU CHU!" the shiny Pikachu persisted.

"Of course! You're a Pikachu!" Sam remembered. "And a shiny one, too. What's a shiny Pikachu like you doing here? It's dangerous."

"Pika?" The shiny Pikachu seemed to be pointing out it was dangerous and wondering what Sam was doing here.

"No one cares about me. My parents died of illness. I ran away," Sam told the shiny Pikachu.

"Pika." The shiny Pikachu rubbed its head against Sam's leg, as if it were comforting her.

"Thanks. But I'm okay."

"Pikachu."

"Well, I need to get going. Goodbye, shiny Pikachu!" Sam scratched its head and began walking away.

"PIKAchu." The shiny Pikachu obviously wanted to stay with her.

"So, you want to come with me. Alright. But you're going to need a name." Sam blinked, suddenly remembering her dream and the nonexistent Yoshin. She was going to change that. "I'll name you Yoshin."

* Hey, I have no stamina. Sam Umino is based off of me.

If you've read Polar Opposites, then you'll know that Yoshin doesn't say "Pikachu" all the time. He speaks normal person speak. Heh, he says a lame prophecy every single time he appears. It's the only thing about Yoshin being in this story that annoys me. He's turned into a babbling idiot that can sense Sam's inner feelings. Oh well.

At least there's a better reason to call him Yoshin now rather than "I had no idea what to name it so I named it the thing I thought I would call a blue Yoshi: Yoshin." I can pull out this lame excuse.

Stay tuned.
