Chapter five
Last time:
"So teme, what we gonna do tomorrow? Sight see? Buy ramen? Buy other stuff????? How long do we get to stay????" Naruto was jumping around excitedly. Sasuke glared at him. "No. tomorrow we wake up early, last minute healing and shopping for supplies, breakfast and then we leave." Naruto stopped jumping and put on a sad face. "Whyyyy? Whay can't we stay???" he whined. "Incase you've forgotten dobe, we're meeting SAKURA." Naruto's eyes widened and he started jumping around happily again. "Yay!!! Saku-chan!!!" Sasuke sighed. 'This is gonna be a loooong trip' he thought.
Now:
Itachi walked through th forest calmly, ignoring Deidara, who seemed to be squeeling with delight everytime he caught sight of a pokemon that was so 'artistically' created. 'Honestly…what a fucking nutcase…' Itach shook his head. This blonde would be the death of him. He stopped when a voice adressed him, and it wasn't Deidara. "Hey Weasel, hows all that brooding of yours going?" Itachi's eyes narrowed. "Watch your tongue Ryo, or it just might accidently fall out." A male walked out from the shade of the tree he was leaning on, revealing his features. His hair was jet black and messy, the fringe falling over his eyes. He had dark purple streaks in his black hair which was natural and his eyes were a slightly lighter shade but still an incredibly deep purple. He wore the standard Akatsuki black leather jacket with red clouds that was left unbuttoned, exposing his chest as he wore no shirt. He had a red tie hanging loosely from the collar, black straight jeans that were a bit big for him and black etnies to complete the look. "Ryo? What are you doing here un? Where's Sasori un?" Deidara asked, walking over to them. Ryo nodded his head at Deidara, acknowledging him before replying, "he's heading this way. Meeting for a rendezvous here. Leader had a mission for us. Apparently, Sasori found a potential member for us in one of his pokemon contest thingo's. She's femal and talented, beat him in the final rounds. Names Sakura Haruno and has pink hair." "We've seen her un! We've been following Itachi's lil' bro's group and they've met up. Their going to meet up a little ways from here at the pokemon centre and travel together un." Ryo smirked. "Is that so? Looks like we'll be seeing a LOT of each other eh Weasel?" It was common knowledge amongst the Akatsuki that Itachi and Ryo didn't get along, even less so than Itach and Deidara. Heck, it was safe to say that Itachi and Ryo despised each other. No one knew why. They just did. "Hn." Itachi wasn't impressed in the slightest. At that moment, another figure emerged. This figure was red headed with dark brown eyes. "Itachi, Deidara" Sasori greeted. He no longer wore th clothes he did at the contest and in Palkia City. Instead he wore the Akatsuki jacket, a black 'Resistance: Fall of man' shirt, crimson coloured straight legged pants with dog clips and black lace up boots. "Good to see you again Sasori" Itachi replied. Unlike most of the Akatsuki, Itachi found that Sasori actually was worth to talk to once in a while as they could hold an intelligent conversation, if not for rude interuptions by the other members. "I hope Ryo is not bothering you too much, we were passing through. I take it Ryo has informed you of our mission?" Sasori asked. "Yea un. Coincidence that the girl your following is going to be travelling with the guys we're folliwing un!" Deidara said happily. Sasori rose an eyebrow, "is that so?" "Hn. The girl you are following will be at the pokemon centre, same direction we are headed. She and my foolish little brother and his friend will be meeting there so they can continue their travels with one another." "I see, we won't be going. It would be too suspicious if I just showed up. I shall see her along the road she takes to the next contest."

"Look teme! The pokemon centre! FINALLY!!!!!" Naruto pointed to a light green coloured pokemon centre. The green blended in nicely with the forest behind it but not so much so that it looked over the top. A clear field for battling and training was off to the left side and on the right was a lake with a few trees and flowers scattered around, the perfect place to relax and get some fresh air. Sasuke remained silent and continued to walk down the path leading to the centre's entrance. Inside, they were surprised with the large amount of trainers. They had thought it would be quite empty, with the location and all, but it seemed that this was in fact a popular place to stay because of the scenary and serene atmosphere. They walked to Nurse Shizune and got their pokemon healed, as well as a room. A male there age turned to look at them before walking over and introducing himself. "I'm Neji Hyuuga, you are?" he asked. He had long dark brown hair and pale lavender eyes that looked almost white. "Sasuke Uchiha. That's 'The Dobe' though some call him Naruto. I prefer the former." "HEY!" the blonde shouted indignantly. Neji smirked. "I see, how about a pokemon battle Uchiha? I can see that you'd be a somewhat decent opponent" he said. Sasuke responded with his own smirk, "hn."

Sasuke and Neji stood on opposite sides of the field, a large group of trainers had come to watch the battle between the Uchiha and the Hyuuga. The two clans didn't have the pleasentest of histories so it was sure to be a fight to remember. A girl with brown hair n two buns spoke. "The battle between Neji Hyuuga and Sasuke Uchiha is about to begin. A total of five pokemon may be used, begin!" Neji grabbed a poke'ball from his belt. "Slowbro, go" he tossed the ball into the air and a strange looking pink pokemon with a weird shell attached to its tail stood in front of him. "What the hell is that teme? It looks so weird!" Naruto yelled. Everyine in the area sweatdropped. "Hn. Shut up dobe. Go Grotle!" "Slowbro, start with focus punch!" Neji ordered calmly. "Bro…" Slowbro pulled back its glowing right fist and charged at Grotle. "Use energy ball!" Sasuke shouted. The two attacks collided in mid air, both doing damage on the pokemon. "Grotle, tackle then bite!" "Use withdraw Slowbro" Neji told his pokemon. As Grotle neared, Slowbro withdre into its hardened shell, protecting it from most of the damage that would have been inflicted. "Water pulse quick!" A large ultrasonic wave of water came from Slowbro's mouth, knocking Grotle of its feet. "Grotle! Use leafstorm now!" "GROTLE!" A large shower of leaves came from its back, making its way to Slowbro. "Fireblast!" Sasuke's eyes widened. "Shit!" he cursed. Leafstorm and fireblast met and caused a large explosion, puhing both trainer and pokemon back. "Slowbro, focus punch quick!" Slowbro aimed another powerful punch in Grotle's direction, this time making contact. "Grotle…." Grotle was sent flying backwards and landed in a heap, out cold. The girl with brown hair spoke, "Grotle is unable to battle, Slowbro wins!" Cheers were heard for Neji. Sasuke grit his teeth and recalled his pokemon.
"Cranidos, go" Sasuke bit out angrily. ", honestly Uchiha, I expected more from you. Are you sure you're a real Uchiha?"Neji sneered mockingly. Sasuke clenched his fists but did not make any rash attacks. If he did, he knew he'd lose quickly. "Cranidos, use screech followed by crunch." Cranidos opened its large jaws and released a painful cry which could make your ears bleed. however, seemed unaffected by the attack. "What the…why isn't it working teme?" Naruto yelled. Sasuke growled. "I forgot about 's special ability." "Eh? Whats that teme?" Naruto looked confused. "'s special ability is soundproof. Sound based attacks don't work on him. Cranidos' screech attack is a sound originated move." "oh…I get it now teme!" Naruto grinned. Sasuke rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the match. "Cranidos, get up close to ." Cranidos rushed forward, avoiding a punch from . "Use iron tail now." Cranidos' tail began to glow white as it jumped high into the air, did a flip and collided with . Neji's pokemon reared back at the collision, dazed. Sasuke didn't waste the opportunity to take it out.. "Cranidos, finish with shockwave." A large blast of electricity made its way to , hitting dead on. collapsed in a heap. " is unable to battle, the victor is Cranidos" the brown haired girl declared, sounding quite annoyed. It was clear she had wanted the white eyed brunnette boy to win. Squeels were heard from fangirls over Sasuke's win. "Shut up will you. There are still three more battles to go" Sasuke said snappily. The fangirls backed away from his glare.
"Poochyena, go" Sasuke said, chucking a red and white pokeball up. A dog like pokemon emerged, it had light grey fur with a black belly, face and paws and two fangs peeking from its lower lip. "Linoone, wipe the floor with the Uchiha." A slender pokemon which resembled a furret emerged opposite Poochyena. "Poochyena, use tackle, followed by bite." Poochyena charged towards Linoone. "Avoid it and counter with quick attack!" Linoone made a graceful get away before turning around and charging at high speed towards Poochyena, knocking it of its feet. "Poochyena, use poison fang before it escapes!" Poochyena opened it mouth and clamped onto Linoone. Linoone yelped in pain and felt the poison enter its system. "Shit.." Neji cursed. "Use water pulse Linoone" Neji didn't want to admit defeat. Linoone sent a ball of water at Poochyena, who sent it out of the way by using iron tail. Linoone was struggling to stay up with the effects of the poison from Poochyena's previous attack. Finally it collapsed in exhaustion an Sasuke was declared the winner again. "Wigglytuff, your next" Neji released a pink and white pokemon that Naruto couldn't help but laugh a bit at. "Your kidding right? That thing looks like a bunny! Ahahahahaha!" Naruto rolled on the ground, trying to breath properly but failing miserably. Neji's eyes narrowed, as did Wigglytuff's. Wigglytuff waltzed up to Naruto and hit him with an icy wind attack. "Ow! Teme, that bunny thing just attacked me! You better beat it!" Naruto whined. "Hn. Magneton." Sasuke was feeling rather confident about this match. There was no way Wigglytuff could win. That pink normal typed bunny against his electric/steel type? Not a chance in hell for it. Magneton came out and stared down it opponent, who stuck out its tongue in return. "Magneton, no playing around. Use thundershock" Sasuke scowled. "Use light screen, followed by fire punch" Neji whispered the last order so he could take Sasuke by surprise. As the attack neared, a transluscent screen appeared before Wigglytuff, repelling the attack. Wigglytuff then charged forward, pulling its arm back. Sasuke's eyes widened when he saw the flames form around Wigglytuff. 'Shit…' he thought. The attack hit dead on and Magneton received quite a fair amount of damage. Wigglytuff flipped backwards in the air, landing back in front of its trainer. "Magneton, use metal sound." A horrible screeching sound emitted from Magnetond, causing Wigglytuff to curl its ears. This was just what Sasuke needed. "Ok, now use tri-attack!" three beams of light came from Magneton and hit Wigglytuff. "Tuff!!!" it cried out in pain. "Wigglytuff, hang in there. Use sing now!" Wigglytuff began to sing a soft melody, lulling its opponent to sleep. "Now, flamethrower!" Neji yelled. Wigglytuff released a large stream of flame, hitting Magneton. The pokemon woke up from the impact but was unale to continue battling. "Wigglytuff is the winner!" Tenten yelled happily. "The final match will decide the victor." Fangirls cheered while men were yelling war cries of sorts. "Seviper, go!" "Natu, win this for me" both trainers yelled as they tossed up their last choices.

"Your brothers holding his own against the Hyuuga un. That's good isn't it un?" asked a blonde from the rooftops. His companion didn't reply. He continued to watch the battle from high of the ground. :Oi Itachi, you listening to me un?" Deidara poked him in the side. Itachi was very close to pushing him of the roof that his temporary partner was sitting on. Honestly, what kind of moron sat on the slanted roof of a pokemon centre where you could easily fall off? Deidara obviously. "Quiet Deidara, I'm watching the battle." Deidara snarled angrily but said nothing further. They watched the first four matched between the new rivals. It was now tied and the winner of the last battle would be the winner of the match. "Seviper vs. Natu. What do you think un?" "I thought I told you to shut up."
