On with the story!

(Chapter 2- 99 Problems)

Sitting on the bed that had been provided for the competitors in what was recognised as the 'Girl's Dorms', Georgia was looking out across the courtyard at the Boy's Dorm, wishing she could go and speak to her old friend, and maybe get the courage to admit the feelings she had for him.

Gripping the sheets as she thought back to the battle he had with Burgundy, she felt herself become aroused and growled lowly at the feeling. It wasn't the first time this had happened when she had read or heard about his exploits over the years, but she had never felt it in such a way. She respected power, and Naruto had that in spades, and she felt a major attraction to him. Combined with his looks, attitude, his 'bad boy' nature as well as their past as friends, and she was really attracted to him.

Growling, she sat up and began to furiously rub herself in an effort to get rid of this burning feeling.

(With Naruto)

Naruto stood on the field and looked around, examining everything. It was best to have an idea as to what the battlefield was like before entering, and they had changed it to a rockier terrain earlier. Crouching down, he grabbed a handful of dirt and brought it up to his nose, getting a good whiff of the soil. Closing his eyes, he visually depicted the battle between himself and his opponent: Iris.

From his observations, the younger girl had an Axew she was using, and that it was not very well trained, if trained at all. Raizen could defeat the young dragon type very easily, almost ridiculously easy. The only skill it really had was Dragon's Roar, which was still not as powerful as it should be. And she had an Excadrill, that doesn't really listen to her, due to lack of trust and respect.

Shaking his head, the teen stood and stretched, his mind racing as he went over numerous plans and combinations he could use, when he felt a firm hand on his shoulder, and saw the untamed mess that was Alder's hair move into his field of vision. The man stood beside him as he too looked at the field. "You know, it was quite the shock to see you out there today, and it was something that I'm sure made international news."

Chuckling softly, Naruto answered the unasked question. "The only reason I decided to enter was because I wanted to find some up and coming trainers, and see if there was any competition."

"And was there anyone who caught your attention?" Despite being young, Alder knew that the young man beside him was incredibly skilled when it came to pokemon and pokemon trainers. If someone caught his attention, then they had to be really skilled.

"A few. That kid Tripp, the other one Stefan, Georgia, and Cylan. The others still have a lot of training and maturing to do before they can be considered to the level they needed to be. Ash needs to stop holding his Pikachu back, and let him evolve, and stop acting as if the world is black and white. Iris needs to stop babying her pokemon and give her Excadrill some tough love. Bianca has, by far, the worst qualities to be a trainer. All she does is go around throwing out attacks, there is no strategy. Burgundy is weak, arrogant, and stubborn, three traits that will get her hurt or killed in the world." Naruto explained, pointing out key character flaws and weaknesses in the younger teens.

Alder nodded. He was absolutely right. The man had been given the privilege of having a battle with the teen next to him, and all throughout he had been calm, collected, and intelligent when it came to the battle. No move was wasted, and his pokemon were capable of doing special moves and using their abilities to a more refined state. But the ones to look out for were his older pokemon. Each one had vast amounts of experience fighting many opponents, and had been with Naruto for at least three years. They had absolute faith that every decision he made was right, and it showed when they obeyed him not only in combat, but also in everyday life. Not to mention that all of his pokemon were near level one hundred, and his Haunter was diagnosed with the inability to evolve, and in their final evolutionary states. The guy took every battle, against every trainer, seriously, even if he did have a slight arrogant streak, and taught his opponents better ways that they could have fought.

"Well, what will you be doing once this tournament is over?"

Naruto shrugged and looked at the moon. "Probably head over to Nimbasa City and check on some old friends, see what's going on in the vine, maybe even challenge the Gym Leader there. Who knows?" It was code, and Alder saw it a mile away.

"What's going down, Naruto?" The man asked.

Sighing, the grey haired teen replied. "My contacts have been informing me that some serious shit is going down. And it isn't Team Rocket, because apparently they were hit pretty hard by this new threat, and, in order to at least stay alive, they split and most scrammed back to Kanto."

It was grave news, and a very uncomfortable question, but he had to ask. "When and where would this new threat be making it's appearance?"

The answer chilled him. "At the Unova League Championship. Apparently, there's this group of people calling themselves 'Konoha' who've been looking to recruit strong pokemon and trainers to their cause. And so far, they've been doing good in recruitment."

"How do you know this?"

"'Cuz they invited me to join."

(Elsewhere)

Three figures sat in an abandoned warehouse as they contemplated on what they were going to do next. After the destruction of Team Rocket at the hands of Konoha, they had been trying to make some cash, but had come up short. Things were looking down for the three as they sat and tried to figure out what to do.

"Jesse, why don't we try and find Naruto? He's guaranteed to have some jobs for us, and if he doesn't, he would probably know someone who did." The male asked.

The female, Jesse, sighed as she shook her head. "No ones heard from him in two years James, and besides, how would we find him?"

"It might be easier than you think." The smallest, a pokemon, said. "Cause apparently he made a comeback and fought in that tournament in town."

Jesse and James looked at each other, before they looked at the pokemon. "Meowth, how far is the arena from here?"

(Back with Naruto)

Alder had bid him a good night and left go read his little orange books before bed, while Naruto went back to his room. On the way, he stopped by the cafeteria and grabbed something to munch on, which happened to be an apple, and returned to his room.

Upon entering, he was greeted to the sight of Cynthia waiting for him by his door, acting nonchalant. He opened his door and gestured for her to enter with a sigh, before entering himself and closing the door. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye as she sat at the table, and he went to his bag. "I just know what's about to come, so let me change first."

Grabbing his bag, he opened and grabbed a fresh black night shirt, before taking his off and revealing his muscular torso, with two scars, one above his heart, the other across his stomach. Pulling the shirt on, he took his shoes, socks, and pants off, revealing his crimson boxers. Sitting down, he stared into the grey eyes of his fellow Garchomp trainer. "So...what can I do for you?"

She raised an eyebrow and asked in a teasing voice. "Does an older sibling need a reason to see her old partner in crime...Yujin?"

The grey haired teen growled at her old nickname for him. "Please...don't call me that. And besides, you're not my older sister!"

Wiping a fake tear away, Cynthia hid a smirk as she pretended to cry a little. "Oh woes me! My old partner doesn't care about me! What am I going to do now?!"

A deadpan stare met her gaze before they both laughed. "BWAHAHAHA!" "HEHEHEHEHE!"

Naruto looked at his old partner for a second as his mind raced back to when he first met Cynthia, right after she had decided to give the underground a try, looking for a challenge during her less than responsible days as a trainer.

(Flashback- Four Years)

A younger cynthia walked down the hall of an abandoned factory, following a guide as he lead her to the infamous 'Tyrant', as he had been dubbed, in no small part due to his rather dangerous and powerful pokemon he used to keep order in 'his' city, which was Fuschia City. It was no secret that he ran shit, what with controlling the corrupt Officer Jenny in charge of the town, as well as his ability to be the pseudo-gym leader, as it was up to him who got in, and who didn't.

She sought him out in the hopes of fighting him, to see if he was all he was talked about. And when they entered the larger than expected main room, she found out why.

He was sitting on a raised chair, which had been tricked out to look like a throne. He was a young kid, though, and that made her more confident/arrogant.

She watched as an Empoleon battled a Magmar, and was slightly shocked when the water type beat the other into the ground. Looking up, she saw the penguin-like pokemon looking at the kid who had his thumb raised sideways, before her grinned cruelly and turned it into a thumbs down, signalling what the Empoleon was to do.

It nodded slightly, before it charged it's Beak Drill and buried it into the Magmar's neck, killing it. So shocked was she, she barely noticed how quiet it got as every eye in the place was on her. The kid walked down and stopped in front of her, his eyebrow raised as he asked. "The fuck are you doing here?"

Steeling herself, she answered. "I came to challenge you."

That got gasps from the crowd, while the kid grinned darkly and nodded before moving to the other side of the makeshift field. "Fine. But, when I win, you become my employee for an entire year, doing exactly as I say, when I say it."

"And if you lose?"

"Trust me, I won't. Now, call out your pokemon."

Raising her pokeball, she smirked and tossed it out, revealing her favored garchomp. She gave a haughty and arrogant smirk as she responded. "Call out yours."

He grinned as he raised his ball, and gave it a toss, the light revealing...Numachi, his first pokemon and a Swampert. The pokemon, despite having already evolved fully now, had grown and was now at least half the size of Shiza, his Garchomp. He had gained a scar over his right eye, in the shape of an X. He had a permanent grin on his face as he cocked his head to the side. The Tyrant smirked as he said. "I'll give you the first move."

She got ready and called out the first attack. "Garchomp, use Dragon Claw!"

The Garchomp's 'wing' began to glow before it charged, launching itself at it's enemy, only for the Swampert to dodge. "Numachi, use Water Wall then Water Gun!"

From Numachi's mouth came a massive torrent of water that easily knocked Cynthia's Garchomp to the ground, shocking Cynthia, before Numachi appeared above it and his grin got bigger before a very powerful, condensed ball of water shot from it's mouth. It hit Garchomp, and Numachi kept it up, cracking the floor from the power and damage made by the Water Bullets.

After a minute of relentless punishment, Numachi jumped away and revealed an unconscious Garchomp, and Cynthia having collapsed to her knees.

The Tyrant grinned and turned before nodding to one of his men, who went to Cynthia and tied a black bandana with red nimbus clouds onto her right arm. "Guess that means I win, huh? i look forward to having you work for me. Bwahahahaha!"

(End Flashback)

It had been then that Cynthia realized just how naruto got the nickname Tyrant. he had agents, informants, spies, and henchman everywhere, in every region, all of them contributing to the total sum of money that seemed to grow each day. During the first month of her stay, she had tried to resist, but that proved foolish, as he quickly and ruthlessly crushed any and all rebellion in her, in such a simple and cruel way.

If she fought back, they fought and her pokemon got a 'lesson'.

If she didn't follow and order, they fought, and her pokemon got a 'lesson'.

If she messed up, they fought, and her pokemon got a 'lesson'.

By the end of the month, her pokemon had been beaten into the ground so many times, she had given in and accepted her role. Soon afterwards, she had moved through the ranks until she fought against his right hand and defeated the man, making her second in command over the whole shebang.

It had been exhilarating to her, the power, the wealth. But, it all came down when Naruto had declared that it was time for them to go, to explore the world.

No one knew why he had changed his heart, but it was after he had gone back to his hometown to reunite with his Aunt that he did. He had never talked about the experience there, but Cynthia, having gotten pretty close to the then boy, she knew he had had his world rocked.

They kept in touch until he disappeared into the Wild Zone, not being seen until two years later, here, at the tournament.

And so, the two old partners in crime began to talk about the 'old days' and about the rest of the crew, who had dispersed into the Underworld or went to prison.

(The Next Morning)

Naruto yawned as he fed his pokemon Magikarp meat, his Pokedex had a storage function full of Magikarp meat he had collected in the Wild Zone, while the other had several capsules full of camping, hunting, fishing, and medical equipment, as well as hundreds of thousands of everlasting Military Ration Packs, good for the rest of time, but tasting like the shit that shit shat out.

He got one out and heated it with help from Shinju, and ate it quietly, already used to the taste. hey, he was always on the go, watching his back, he had no time to cook shit. All he had time for was fast, easy to cook meals for himself and his pokemon.

Speaking of pokemon diets, he hated those stupid pokemon pellets. Yeah, they were nutritious, but they didn't actually help the pokemon any, only providing a set amount of nutrition and protein for the carnivorous pokemon he had caught, who were used to eating fresh meat, and he had ensured to provide a constant supply of meat from the numerous Magikarp that had managed to survive in the Wild Zone without dying.

He had no idea why everyone was so set against eating the stupid things, the only redeeming feature they had was their evolution to Gyarados, and even then they were fairly easy to beat and then eat. Yup, that was his motto for his pokemon: If you don't beat it, you don't eat it.

He looked over all of the information he had on Georgia, and decided he was going to use one of his special pokemon, one of his first six. He wasn't going to use Raizen, do to the fact that Georgia knew all of it's combos and abilities and he was being put into the reserves for now. No, he was going to use one that he guaranteed would win, and piss off Iris.

(Later)

Naruto watched all of the matches and shook his head. He was right in his evaluation of the others, and had to sigh in disbelief from seeing Ash lose to Georgia, all because he couldn't understand that just forcing your way through wasn't always going to work. Cylan had managed to impress him and he gave a respectful nod to the green haired teen, who nodded back. While it wasn't friendship, it was a mutual respect between two people.

Soon enough, it was time for his match, and he looked on boredom as iris called out her Axew who tried to put on a brave face. He smirked and brought out his pokeball, before giving it a toss. "Madara, show them why you don't fuck with us!"

From the light came a very mean looking Salamence who had a permanent glare on his face as he looked at the insect who cowered before his awesome might. The Dragon-type looked back at his trainer with a raised brow, and Naruto gave a nod. Ah! So that was why he was called out. He was to teach this young insect what happens when you face a true Dragon. He looked at the girl who had the gall to call this pathetic excuse for a weakling a Dragon-Type. But, the true thing that made the Salamence furious, was the confident look on her face that such an inexcusable pokemon of weakness could be called HIS equal. Out of all the pokemon he could have chosen that day, out of all the others that were there, he had picked him. His Master, his trainer, his brother.

And by all things he would show that man, his trainer, exactly why he had been chosen. Why he was given the name he was so proud of, why he was Madara!

He was Madara the Salamence, pokemon of Naruto 'the Tyrant' Uzumaki! No one challenged him or his brothers and got away unscathed.

At the call of begin, Naruto called out the beginning attack that would set the stage. "Madara, use Great Annihilation!"

Madara raised his head and began charging a Hyper beam, before pausing and charging a Dragon Breath as well. The two combined attacks looked volatile before being launched at a shell shocked Axew, who simply couldn't dodge.

The result was devastating.

A dome of white light destruction appeared and engulfed Axew, making Iris scream in fear. It dissipated and revealed a heavily wounded, but still conscious and standing Axew. This made Naruto raise an eyebrow. Curious. Maybe Iris wasn't such a bad trainer afterall. "You know...that has got to be one of the most courageous pokemon I have ever seen. In respect of that, Madara, finish it with Dragon Claw."

Madara nodded, finding a small amount of respect for the smaller Dragon-Type, before disappearing and reappearing with his arm glowing, before swiftly knocking the pokemon unconscious. In a show of respect, Madara picked up the Axew and deposited the smaller pokemon into Iris's arms.

Recalling his Dragon-Type, Naruto walked back to the stands, but not before he heard the next match.

"Will Georgie and Ash please come to the arena!"

Naruto looked over and didn't like the dark smirk on the younger kids face as he walked over, his pikachu nowhere to be seen. Crossing his arms, he gazed at the match.

It was going good for Georgia, until Ash called out his pokemon, revealing a Donphan. Without warning, he called out a special move he had made after seeing Naruto battle. "Donphan, use fire wheel then tackle!"

Doing as told, Donphan attacked georgia before her pokemon came out, wounding her badly as the pokemon was recalled and the younger teen ran away, even as Naruto ran to Georgia, and after checking her pulse and finding it, brought out Madara to get them to the Hospital, while everyone else just gaped in shock at the strange actions taken by the normally kind kid.

Naruto was the most shocked and upset, having not expected such an illegal move to come from the younger teen, and he certainly wasn't expecting him to run. As they flew, he tightened his grip on Georgia, holding her closer as Madara landed and he barged into the Pokemon and Trainer hospital/center. "Nurse Joy! Help! We've had an incident!"

Nurse Joy turned and saw Georgia's state, before ordering a gurney from a nearby Chancy, who nodded and got one, where Naruto laid his burnt best friend. From what he saw of the damage, she had first and second degree burns on her chest, her jacket and shirt having been burnt away, revealing her scorched bra, and she was breathing hard as she lulled to and from consciousness.

Standing back as they took her away for surgery, Naruto turned to Madara and thanked him for the swift flight before calling him back into his pokeball. Sighing, he sagged into a nearby chair. Closing his eyes, he remembered the sight of Ash running, and the victorious grin he had sent Naruto as he did so. Apparently, the little creep had been planning something since he had been shown he didn't have the best Electric-Type around, and had seen Naruto's familiarity with Georgia.

Clenching his fist tight enough to draw blood, Naruto heaved a sigh and opened his eyes, meeting a just now arriving Cynthia and Alder's, while the other competitors also came by. "Sorry, but he got away. He had a Charizard waiting for him and took off after he ran and you left." The tall blonde said.

Cylan, feeling it necessary to do so, apologized to Naruto with a bow. "I-I'm so sorry. we had no idea he would do that. If we could have done something, we would have."

"It's alright, it wasn't you who ordered the attack. But, know this, Ash is as good as dead. I'll be showing that little bastard what happens when you fuck with the Tyrant."

"You will do no such thing." A new voice said as Officer Jenny walked in. She glared at Naruto, who gazed back impassively, before she continued. "As of this moment, you are being placed into custody, your pokemon confiscated, and your license suspended until further notice."

Outrage swept through them as they all shouted protest. It was Alder who managed to get his voice heard. "Why? What did he do?"

Jenny smirked and crossed her arms as she said. "Nothing yet. But I'm not gonna let him do something. Once a criminal, always a criminal."

As she approached the shocked silent teen, a newer, more mature voice spoke up. "i'm afraid you can't. You see, I need his help, and as a senior agent to you, Jenny, I order you to stand down and allow him to come with me."

The person who spoke was a serious man with cropped hair, brown eyes, wearing a trench coat. naruto knew who he was immediately, having fought, encountered, and spoken to the man many times. "Looker..."

AN: And finished! I know, I know, Ash's actions were illogical, but it WILL be explained later. As for the battles, yes, naruto's pokemon are a major cut above the Elite Four, and can breeze through most battles with one pokemon. However, he will lose some due to him not having the will to fight.

But, for now, we go into the first story arc: Golden Bonds.

There won't be much in terms of fighting, but it will have a major development in the relationship between Georgia and Naruto, as well as some character development for them.

Now, here is Naruto's current pokemon that have been revealed stats in Shinobi terms:

Swampert (Numachi)- Mid S-Class.

Luxray (Raizen)- High- A Low S-Class.

Salamence (Madara)- Mid to High S-Class.

The others will be revealed once all of the pokemon have been selected, and one of the upper three (See 1) have been voted and selected via review or PM.

As always, this has been Rigbutter96.
