DISCLASIMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT MY O.C's

NARUTO POV

I was on my way to Petalburg and had taken the treetop route until I reached a clearing. I walked down the tree and into some tall grass. While I had encountered several bird Pokemon in the treetops, they were easy prey for me and my friend Tony, and good battle experience for him. I had taken the time between attacks to tell Tony about some of the clans back home. He was absolutely astounded that not only were there other humans like me, but that a lot of them were a lot stronger than I was. It was in the clearing's tall grass that we began to be followed. Telling Tony that we would be walking on the ground the rest of the way, we walked out of the tall grass, and to Tony's surprise, our stalker came out as well. It was obviously a Pokemon, but it looked like a walking mushroom with a light blue cap with a single skinny red horn coming out from the upper front center of it with a white face and stalk below that. I was about to order Tony to attack it when he spoke up. "Naruto, that's a shiny Ralts. Ralts' are a very rare psychic type Pokemon, in fact they only turn up here on this road. Furthermore, while any type of Pokemon can be born a shiny, it is super extremely rare. For us to find a Shiny Ralts is extremely good fortune, we should bring her with us. Oh, and Ralts, he understands every word we say."

"Well, little Ralts, do you want to come with us? Know that if you say yes, we probably won't come back here for a long time."

"Yes, I do, and the longer the better! I'm tired of being beaten up all the time by the other kids, I'm a prodigy because I work hard, thank you very much!" The little Ralts said with as much gumption as a creature as small as she was could muster.
"Well, we'll all work hard together. What's your name, little one?"
"I don't have one other than Ralts. Are you going to name me?"

"Yes. How does Ino sound to you? I asked.

"Ino?" piped up Tony "Isn't that the Yamanaka girl that had a crush on you until that Uchiha boy stole her away? If it is, I fully approve."

"I like the name a lot. But tell me, what is a Yamanaka?"
"The Yamanaka were a clan of psychic humans back home that specialized in interrogation. One of their more battlefield ready techniques was called the MIND-BODY SWITCH. It would allow the psychic to take control of an enemy's mind by pushing the consciousness of the enemy into the deep recesses of their mind while the psychic's consciousness takes over their enemy's motor control functions. Then, the usual thing the Yamanaka would do is to make a fatal blow on the enemy and leave, because their own body was vulnerable while they were in control of another body." I explained

"Ooh. I like the sound of that technique. I am going to recreate it."

"Heh, you do that and I'll leave you out of your Pokeball when we travel."

"That sounds nice. I don't think I'd like being trapped in a Pokeball all the time. Still, to be healed at a Pokemon center, you have to be in a Pokeball, so capture me now. I promise not to resist it if you let me out immediately."

"Done" with that Naruto threw a Pokeball at the Ralts. True to her word, she didn't resist, and true to his, he let her out.

"Ugh, for the record, I HATE BEING IN A POKEBALL!" Screamed Ino.

"Well then, you don't have to be in one. Let's go." With that, I picked up Ino and Tony and dashed off into Petalburg.

PETALBURG HOSPITAL ROOM, 10 minutes later.

I entered the room where Norman was at the same time as a rather sickly looking boy. At first I thought that the boy was Norman's son, but then I went in and found a boy that looked like he was on his deathbed. I decided to let the sickly looking boy go first, but not without applying chakra to my ears. The boy introduced himself as Wally, and asked Norman to help him capture a Pokemon. "I can't. My place is by my dying son. The doctors can't figure out what's wrong with him, but they can tell that it doesn't look like he'll last much longer." I felt intense sympathy for the father, and apparently it woke up the voice.

"Kit, I know what is wrong with Norman's son. He somehow awoke chakra, but without someone who knows how to stop him from draining it, he won't last more than three minutes. Barge in there now and flick him on the forehead, then hold him down while the chakra he flares pools. He must have had as much as my brother Shukaku to have lasted this long, but now his pools will be only be mid gennin if you get in there now." The voice said with as much urgency as it could muster. Norman's son began to thrash as Naruto kicked the door off its hinges and rushed in, slamming into Norman and flicking his son on the head, then Naruto held him down as Norman's son began to struggle. Norman recovered from his shock.

"Hey what's the big idea, barging in here and hurting Jake?" Norman asked, obviously infuriated. When I refused to answer him, due to Jake putting up quite the struggle, he decided to try and pull me off.

"If you want your son to die, please go right ahead and pull me off. I know what's wrong with him and I can save him." That stopped Norman in his tracks, hope filled his eyes. Then Jake stopped struggling, so I got off of him. Then I went and sat down. "Now, to business. Your son has an incredible gift. In fact, the only other human in this world with the same gift is me, although your son doesn't have nearly the same amount as me. Back on my world, there aren't any Pokemon at all, and, while humans there are much less technologically advanced than this world's humans, there are also humans there that can hold their own against Pokemon. I can do so, but believe me when I say that there are shinobi much stronger than me. I myself only know six techniques, and to the best of my knowledge, there are only two more techniques that I could possibly learn, doe to there not being anyone to learn from." Then Jake opened his eyes, now blood red with a single black tome swirling in the center. "Well, that'll make it easier to teach him. But first, Jake, I need you to cut that power you're feeling off from your eyes NOW." Fortunately, Jake Uchiha obeyed.

"What happened? Where am I?" asked Jake.

"You're in the Petalburg Hospital. And as for what happened, son, a miracle." Norman said happily

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. I just saved your life. And you have an incredible gift, Jake Uchiha. Come with me, and I shall teach you as best I can how to use it."

"Go with him, Jake. But first, can he talk to his mother and Professor Birch before you go? They've both been worried sick"

"Of…" but before Naruto could finish, he collapsed, hitting his head on the floor.
