Now, the choice between Druddigon and Haxorus remain. Who will win the vote? You decide! Next chapter will be the finishing of that vote, so get yours in now.

(Chapter 3- Run Down Boogie)

Blue eyes met brown as the two stared at each other, one unflinching at the cold and dangerous look in the younger man's eyes. While they were cordial with one another, there was still a lot of mistrust there, and it could spell a massive fight breaking out.

Looker, having decided to be the bigger man, spoke up. "Uzumaki, is there someplace we can speak in private?"

Nodding, the grey haired teen gestured for the older man to follow as he lead him through the maze of halls and doorways of the Pokemon Center to a storage room that was far out of the way.

Turning to look at Looker, Naruto crossed his arms and got his poker face on. It was times like this that he was glad he had run a criminal organization for a while, it certainly helped when dealing with guys like Looker. "So? What do you need? If you haven't noticed, my friends been hurt and I do want to be there for her."

Looker raised an internal eyebrow at the young man. Since when did he have friends? Instead, he kept his face blank and spoke in a cordial, if clipped, tone of voice. "I need your help."

That threw Naruto for a loop as he gained a stunned look. Never in a million years would he have expected an Officer of the Law, LOOKER for that matter, would come looking for HIS help. While he respected the man for his deduction skills and his pragmatic approach to pokemon, he was full of pride and never asked for help. "What?! You can't be serious! Why would you need my help?"
"Because, you have skills, informants, and knowledge of the Underworld, alongside your pokemons abilities. The fact of the matter is, you will be invaluable to my investigation. Not to mention that that kid, Ash, has something to do with why I'm here. His actions were illogical, and I feel that something went down last night."

"What do you mean? What happened?"

"Last night, we found a newly released Pikachu walking around aimlessly, as if it had been abandoned. We did a bit of digging and found that it had been Ash's. Now, he is known for his love of that Pikachu, and the fact he left it doesn't bode well."

Naruto paused and thought it over. "What would you want me to do?"

"All I want you to do is collect as much information on this new threat, Konoha, as possible, and I've managed to get you a position in the Unova League Championships, but not as a competitor, but as a judge." Looker said. It was a big deal, and he was trusting Naruto an awful lot to not cut and run, but he had faith.

Unlike the Officer Jenny in this town, he didn't regard Naruto as an entirely evil person just because of his parents, and gave him the benefit of the doubt more often than not. All he was was a kid looking out for himself and doing what he felt he had to in order to survive. And yes, while his methods were brutal and borderline cruel to pokemon he trained, he got results and made the pokemon very much stronger.

He had been privy to the process, once when undercover and working for him, and the entire thing had been very informative to him.

You see, what most trainers didn't realize was that Dragon-Type pokemon were always carnivores, with some omnivores mixed in, and required a steady meat based diet to remain at peak physical performance. Grass-Type pokemon were primarily herbivores, and depended on grass and leaves for food when in the wild. He had devised a healthy eating plan for every single one of his very widespread pokemon, and implemented them into their training. For Shinju, he mixed in bits of meat and charcoal to keep his flames bright and strong.

For the others, he mixed in things like plants and fruits to help prevent vitamin and mineral malnutrition from happening, but mostly kept the carnivorous pokemon on meat he got from Magikarp, and his omnivorous and one herbivore pokemon on their respective diets.

It was an interesting thing to learn, and Looker had submitted this to the board of Directors he worked for, to see if it could be added to the New Trainers Guide.

"Plus," Looker said, hoping this would close the deal. "You'll be given your own Trainer School to teach and do with as you please."

That made Naruto give pause and think. That was a tempting offer. Not only could he judge a pokemon tournament, but he was also being offered the chance to have his own school. He could teach trainers how to raise pokemon HIS way and get rid of the weak ones out there, if only slightly.

He extended his hand for a handshake, and Looker did too. Grinning, the teen said. "What do I do first?"

(Later- Back in the Waiting room)

Naruto was, once again, sitting in the waiting room of the Pokemon Center drinking a cup of coffee as he did. After his little meeting with Looker, he had gone back to wherever he came from, most likely to report Naruto's cooperation, while the teen himself awaited news on his female friend.

At first, it had shocked him at how much he actually cared for her, even after all these years. She had been his first friend ever, and had even trusted him by telling him her family problems. She had been his first crush, as well as his first wet dream, and it made him feel...weird that she was hurt. It was like he was worried for her, and he was, but it was much worse than that. She could have died! She could have died and left him all alone, to live the rest of his life an angry, bitter person.

She could have died...and he would have been powerless to stop it.

Sighing, he watched as a younger Nurse Joy, not much older than him, walked up to him with a smile. "She'll be fine. A little shaken up, but fine. She's been asking about you."

"Were there any complications?"

"No. She'll be one hundred percent fine. Although, she will need more clothes soon. But, I did lend her some, so no worries about seeing her naked."

Naruto looked at her as his mind raced, picturing a naked Georgia sitting on the hospital bed provocatively. Faster than the Nurse could track, he wiped his bleeding nose and followed her to the patients room.

And there she was, sitting quietly and patiently for the nurse. She looked up and her green eyes met his, and she suddenly seemed to brighten up quite a bit from his appearance, and Naruto noticed the pokeballs in her hands.

She had obviously been thinking some things over, and Naruto had an inkling as to what they were. Her pokemon had failed her, even if they hadn't been called out, and she was contemplating what to do next.

Nodding to Nurse Joy, who got the silent message to leave, he turned to Georgia and offered her a crooked smile. "Hey. You got tagged pretty bad."

It was a blunt, true statement that brought a smile to her beautiful face. She had to admit, despite his blunt and unrefined nature, he just had this...charisma about him that made others want to be his friend. He continuously denied it, but it he was just a good leader. "Yeah, guess I did, didn't I?"

Shifting to sit in a nearby chair, Naruto leaned forward and grabbed a pokeball and examined it in silence. He was quiet for a few moments before he spoke up. "I'm sorry."

Georgia raised an eyebrow at him. "For what?"

"I wasn't fast enough. I should have seen it coming. And you got hurt."

Understanding swept across her features as she realized what he meant. "Naruto, despite how smart you are...you're and idiot." He looked at her and his eyes twitched at that. "You can't blame yourself for what that Booney did, he decided to commit assault and is now on the run."

Naruto snorted in amusement at the name for people from Kanto, which, aside from a few people he had met, which included Professor Oak and Delia Ketchum, was full of the most assbackward people in the world. It was one of the reasons they were called the Booneys. "Yeah, but I could have stopped him. If I had been faster, even if by a small margin, you wouldn't of been hurt."

Sighing, she gently took his hand and held it in her own much smaller one. "It's okay. I forgive you."

He smiled softly and gripped her hand tighter, focusing on the next step.

(The Next Day)

Georgia had been released with a full and clean bill of health, and except for some tenderness from some mild burns, she was going to be fine. It was when the two had been leaving the Pokemon Center that things had gotten interesting, for waiting for them was Stefan.

The young man gave a nod to Georgia in respect, before he turned to Naruto and locked eyes with him. For a minute, they stared at one another before Stefan asked out of the wild blue yonder. "Please let me follow you on your journey!"

That made the older teen blink in surprise. He hadn't been expecting that, and it showed. "Um...What?"

"You're incredibly strong! The way you dealt with Burgundy was outstanding! And it was with one attack! Can you teach me to train pokemon like you do, please?!" Stefan asked in excitement.

Naruto had to pause and think about that. Looker had told him he was allowed to teach his methods, so maybe..."Alright, you can come with me on my way to Nimbasa City. And yes, I'll teach you to train your pokemon to MY standards." he looked over at Georgia and asked. "Hey, you wanna come too?"

Said girl nodded and smirked as she rested a hand on her hip. "Well...I guess so. After all, I have to make sure you don't do anything stupid."

Two deadpan stares met hers, and she felt uncomfortable for a second. It was Naruto who spoke. "...Georgia you have the worst temper out of all of us."

She gave the two the glare that put fear into the hearts of men, known as the 'Super Female Death Glare of Death and Doom'. The two males suddenly felt very small and nervous, while nearby females laughed at their misfortune. Before the pink haired teen could begin to scold the two, running footsteps were heard as two more people showed up. It was surprising to see both Cylan and Iris here, but Naruto shrugged and looked at them. "Yo! Whatcha guys doing' here?"

Iris answered for them. "Well...I was hoping you could train me to be a Dragon Master! Cylan here wants to explore the world more. You seemed like the better option than Bianca or Burgundy, so here we are!"

Blinking, the grey haired teen looked back at Georgia, and asked. "Um...you're still a Dragon Buster right?" At her nod, he turned and eye smiled at Iris. "Then welcome aboard! At least now we can have a cook and a forager! No more Military Ration Packs! We have someone who can actually cook my Magikarp meat!"

Raising a hand, Stefan asked. "Why do you have Magikarp meat?"

"Because, it was the easiest way to get food for myself and my pokemon aside from the Ration Packs, and it was easy to put on a stick and cook in the Wild Zone. Not to mention all Magikarp are useless unless they evolve. Then they become only slightly more dangerous." He answered. "Enough of this questioning! We need to be in Nimbasa City by the end of the month. So that means we need to move fast."

He looked them all over and sighed. "Too bad Madara can't carry us all. If it had been just three of us, then no problem! We would have been there faster than shadows! But shit, we have to walk."

"Did you ride your Salamence all over the regions you explored?" Cylan asked as they made their way out of town. It was a fair question. Walking all that way would have been really difficult, and he didn't seem to own a vehicle.

"No, not really. I only ride Madara when I need to get someplace fast. As it stands, we have some time to get there if we continue to follow this route, but it would take us too close to Freezer Lake." Naruto said, his voice sop usually calm and neutral showing a deep hatred of this Freezer Lake.

"Why do you dislike this Freezer Lake so much?"

"Because it's home to nothing but Ice-Type pokemon, who I hate. They have a bad habit of freezing things that annoy them, which pisses me off. And considering that a good portion of my pokemon aren't Fire-Types, I'll be at a bit of a disadvantage. Plus...I hate the cold. It was bad enough that it got really cold at night in the Wild Zone, but to willingly walk into a place with Freezer in the name is crazy, not to mention Ice-Types seem to dislike me just like Magikarp and Gyarados do. Food for thought." Naruto answered in a nonchalant manner. It was true, too. No matter what he did, no matter how warm he made himself, he was still too cold in places covered in snow.

Georgia gave a nod to both Stefan and Iris after they looked at her inquisitively. It had been a recurring theme in his life that her Beartic didn't like him, and went out of it's way to mess with him. It was also a recurring gag that Naruto would dress in an overabundance of heavy and warm clothes to stay warm, no matter how cool or cold it got.

Frankly, it was ridiculous.

But, it was also funny as hell.

(Several Hours Later)

Naruto stopped and looked around the before spotting a clearing nearby. Pointing over to it, he told his new group that they would stop there for the night. They all sighed in relief. Naruto set a rather brisk pace and didn't let them stop for anything, keeping them moving constantly, except for bathroom breaks. His logic stated that if you could hold it for hours, then you have the endurance to stand still and fight a pokemon battle for up to, or over, and hour.

Claiming a spot, Naruto immediately had everyone set up tents for the night, before he got down to the training. "Alright, now, since Iris needs it more, this first session will focus primarily on Dragon-Types." Turning to the long haired girl, he began one of many future lectures.

"Now, Dragon-Types are very powerful once fully trained, and have mastered at least half of their attacks. Now, what you and any of your Dragon Pokemon need to remember is that it is a give and take relationship." Pulling out Madara's pokeball, Naruto released his Salamence and gently rubbed it's snout. "Dragon-Types are very arrogant, and will charge into a battle without any kind of plan of attack. Now, to combat this, when Axew evolves, you have to lay down the law and force it to listen to you."

"How?" The girl asked.

"Well, I made Madara submit to me. I did that by having a non-Dragon-Type beat his ass."

"Oh, okay. So you're saying that my Excadrill will have to defeat my Fraxure?"

"Pretty much. But before then, we need to get that Axew up to snuff. To do this, make it run a fifty laps around the entirety of the field." She gaped as he continued, his eyes closed and his arms crossed. "Come to think of it, you need to get in shape too. So, you'll be running with him."

"W-What?! Why?!"

"Because, if you can't carry the burdens of your pokemon like they carry yours, and if you can't at least keep up with them, then they will never respect you." His words rang true, and Stefan called out his prized Sok and had him do push-ups with him, while Cylan had Pansage dp sit ups with him. Georgia, having already done something similar, decided to sit back and treat her still recovering burns while reading a book.

Naruto, having decided he wanted to train some of his pokemon too, recalled Madara and brought two other pokeballs. In a flash of light, his two swordsmen pokemon appeared. The first was Tsuin, his Scizor, the second was his Marowak, Gunji. "Alright! The two of you will fight until first blood is drawn! Anything except for kill shots go, and I expect to see some bruises on the two of you. Now...Begin!"

The two were off, with Gunji hefting the massive bone he carried over his shoulder and swinging it like a zanbato. It moved fast for it's respected size and brought the club down, cracking the ground and making Tsuin unfurl it's bug like wings and hover quickly away, before streaming back towards Gunji, who used the bone club to block and strike back.

They traded blows for a while, until Tsuin used his superior speed and outmaneuvered Gunji, who got a small cut along it's belly, making it bleed slightly.

Calling the match off, naruto recalled Tsuin and looked at Gunji, before pointing off into the woods. "Don't come back until you can bring down five pokemon, and get your own dinner."

Gunji nodded, already knowing how things were done, before he took off.

(Later)

Naruto gave a nod of approval to Gunji as the pokemon came back with it's omnivorous dinner, which consisted of some plants and berries, along with a Magikarp that was dead. He made it painfully obvious that they had to work for dinner, and that he wouldn't baby them at all. Doing that gave them a handicap, made them dependant.

It made them weak.

The eldest of the teens grabbed his black pokedex and opened up the mass containment screen and brought out a massive pile of Magikarp meat, as well as a Military Ration Pack. Hey, after eating them for two years, they had grown on him. Yes, they tasted like the shit shit shat out, but damn did they give you the necessary nutrients to live till your next meal. Georgia watched as Naruto put his MRI looking dinner over the fire and cooked it in less than a minute, before he grabbed it. Before he ate it, he released his pokemon, to eat. The shear number of them all was quite amazing, as they had never seen so many different kinds in one place.

After they had started to eat from the collected mass of food, Naruto began to eat as well, taking a bite of his rice and fish, his face blank as he did. The pink haired girl sighed in exasperation at his stubborness. he had explained it earlier that he would let Cylan cook for him when he ran out of his MRI food.

This one just so happened to be the last of it all.

After he finished it, he stood and smirked as he yelled out. "FUCK YEAH! NO MORE EATING THIS DISGUSTING SHIT!"

He grinned as he threw away the garbage and sat down on a log, watching as the sun set with a content smile. He was rather happy that he had accepted the people who were following him now, as they were all different and had different goals and dreams, uniting together to accomplish them.

He had always wondered if this was what a family was like, and couldn't help but let a small, unseen tear fall from his eye that he wiped away quickly, so no one noticed. Crying like that was uncool, and he was anything but uncool.

He was Naruto Uchiha, the most fuckmothering badass in the world! He didn't cry!

After talking for a while about anything and everything, they all decided to go to sleep, each putting their pokemon back into their pokeballs. Naruto, instead of getting a sleeping bag, climbed into a tree and relaxed against the trunk, letting the cool breeze touch his face.

Tomorrow they would be at Freezer Lake, and after two days of assripping cold wind, they would be in Nimbasa City, where he could speak to his contacts.

(Far Across the Region)

Obito Uchiha sat in a tree, relaxing after a busy day travelling. His mind began to wonder as he remembered the discussion he had with his lover/wife about their kid, and he felt the familiar pang of guilt that had grown and grown over the years since his decision to leave his kid alone. Every time he had seen him on his travels, he had played himself off as a cold, cruel person, a mask to hide his shame and guilt behind, despite being incredibly proud of his sons achievements.

His wife, Hunter J, or Jade, had been both ashamed and guilt ridden to the point where she had stopped getting updates from her old friend Juniper, and had thrown herself into her work. She had, after Naruto went on his journey, she had kept up on anything he did, and showed concern when he disappeared for two years into the Wild Zone, but, she had been beyond happy when he came back.

Sighing, the Uchiha looked up at the moon and closed his one remaining eye as he thought back to the recent news his spies and informants brought to him: Konoha was moving, and had recruited the now declared criminally insane Ash Ketchum to their ranks. They had been silent for years, plotting their revenge against the Leaders of the regions, and they were going to strike when the Championship Pokemon Tournament took place, where new Champions would be chosen, and Naruto would no doubt be.

Clenching his fist, Obito vowed to ensure that whatever they had planned would be ruined by his hands.

And by God, he was going to succeed!

AN: And I finished it off with a shot of Obito and his regrets and a small outline of his plans. Now, as I stated above, the Chosen pokemon, as voted on via PM, was Haxorus, but now, I need two new pokemon for Georgia.

Here are the choices:

Armaldo
Emolga
Tynamo
Ariados
Scolipede

Please submit two choices from these options, and whoever gets the most will be the ones chosen.

But for now, peace out!
