Last time on The Rise of Chaos: After meeting Brock, Misty, and Ash in the Pokemon Center, Naruto and Pikachu made their way to the Pewter City Gym. Once they got their they met the gym leader, named Flint, who claimed it was his first fight since returning to the gym. After the pleasantries were done and the rules were set, Naruto and Flint began the match. The first battle was between Naruto's Scyther and Flint's Geodude. After a long and intense battle, Scyther was able to squeeze out a win when it captured Geodude with its blades and released all its Aura in one devastating attack. The next battle was between Naruto's Pikachu and Flint's Zubat. Pikachu won the battle when it was able to latch onto Zubat's back and attack with Thunderbolt, followed by Thunder Tail. The next battle was between Naruto's Pikachu and Flint's Onix. Onix won after it was able to smash Pikachu's body between its head and a rock, and then finish Pikachu off by slamming it against the stadium wall. The last battle was between Naruto's Pidgey and Flint's Onix. The battle ended in a draw when Pidgey used Wind Lance, to counter Onix's slam.
With his new badge fresh in his mind, we now find Naruto trudging up Mount Moon with Pikachu by his side.
()
Naruto and Pikachu were currently walking along the Mount Moon Trail on their journey towards Cerulean City.
It was a narrow dirt trail that had just enough room to fit Naruto and Pikachu walking side by side. Small bushes and a few pine trees, lined the side of the trail.
When Naruto and Pikachu were about halfway up the mountain, noises coming from some of the nearby foliage caught their attention. Channeling Aura into their feet to mute their footsteps, they walked to the edge of the trail and gazed through the trees.
Through the trees, they saw a Growlithe training in the middle of a small clearing. The clearing was encased by numerous bushes and tall pine trees were not far behind them. The pine trees served to shade the outer layer of the clearing, and they also did well to conceal most of the clearing from view.
From what Naruto could tell, the Growlithe was shooting flames at a tree.
Naruto and Pikachu slowly crept closer, making little to no sound and, after signaling for Pikachu to hide in a bush near the Growlithe, Naruto took to the trees to get a better view of both the Growlithe and the clearing.
Naruto didn't know hot the Growlithe's flames were, so he couldn't be sure, but he was pretty sure that the Growlithe had been training in this clearing for a while. The bark on the front of the tree, was completely burned off and the wood underneath was charred black.
As Naruto looked around the whole clearing, he saw a few other trees in this same state, which meant one of two things. Either the Growlithe comes to this clearing daily to train, or it has been training all day. Judging by the exhaustion apparent in the Growlithe's movement, Naruto came to the conclusion that it was the latter.
Dropping down into the bushes, Naruto walked soundlessly towards Pikachu, who seemed to be studying the Growlithe.
()
The Growlithe stopped its attack on the tree to take a quick breather. It had only been four days since it had challenged the pack leader and lost. Despite the short amount of time it trained, it was quite proud of the progress it made.
Finishing its breather, the Growlithe resumed its attack on the tree.
Its flames had grown much hotter then they ever had when it was traveling with the pack. And its endurance had also increased from the rigorous training it had put itself through.
Soon enough it would go back and challenge the pack leader again, just to prove to them that it was powerful. It wouldn't take the position though, not after the way they looked at it as it left the pack, beaten and broken.
The memory of the cold glares, served to fuel the Growlithe's flames.
The Growlithe was brought out of those memories, however, when a trail of electricity shot out of the bushes. Reflexes alone were what caused the Growlithe to leap backwards to avoid the attack.
However, before the Growlithe could truly gain its bearings, Pikachu appeared beside it in an impressive show of speed. Before the Growlithe could act, Pikachu slammed its tail into the Growlithe's side. The attack propelled the Growlithe into the charred trunk of the tree it was previously attacking.
A bolt of electricity soon followed Growlithe's body. Acting quickly, Growlithe shot flames to counter the electricity. However, the fire and the electricity met only a few inches in front of the Growlithe's face, resulting in a explosion that sent the Growlithe straight through the tree trunk it was against.
The entire portion of the tree was reduced to mere splinters and the top of the tree was soon crashing down towards the Growlithe.
The Growlithe was able to leap of the way of the tree, but once it did, thousands of volts of electricity coursed through its body shutting down all its motor controls. Right after the Growlithe's legs gave out from under it, a pokeball flew into its vision and hit it in the forehead.
()
Naruto walked into the clearing as he watched the pokeball wobble. It didn't take long for the pokeball to stop moving and finally lock.
After congratulating Pikachu, Naruto grabbed the pokeball and was about to leave, when a Rhyhorn came barreling into the clearing. The Rhyhorn was running towards Pikachu in a blind rage.
Confused, Pikachu quickly sidestepped the Rhyhorn's charge and ran to Naruto's side, waiting for orders.
"Scyther your assistance is required." Naruto said as he threw his pokeball.
As soon as Scyther appeared, Naruto gave his command.
"Scyther use Acuminous Assault." Naruto ordered.
Scyther wasted no time in channeling its Aura, and by the time the Rhyhorn turned around, Scyther was already in motion.
Slash marks appeared all over the Rhyhorn's body, but Rhyhorn continued its charge towards Pikachu.
Pikachu charged up an Iron Tail, and when the Rhyhorn was three feet in front of Pikachu, Pikachu jumped just above the Rhyhorn's body and proceeded to drop its tail down. Pikachu's tail easily sliced a trail through the Rhyhorn's back and that coupled with the multiple gashes that Scyther had inflicted, caused the Rhyhorn to simply collapse, unconscious.
()
Naruto began to inspect the Rhyhorn after he recalled Scyther, and a particular feature caught his attention. There was a large dent on the Rhyhorn's back, that looked as if it had been healing for a while.
The dent coupled with Rhyhorn's resentment towards Pikachu, made it easy for Naruto to figure out that the Rhyhorn is the same Rhyhorn that Pikachu fought when he first came to this world.
Naruto easily caught Rhyhorn, and after he put its pokeball away, Naruto and Pikachu left the clearing and continued on their way to Cerulean City.
()
Little happened on the rest of their journey across Mount Moon. They saw a few Zubat and Clefairy inside the cave going through Mount Moon, but both parties avoided them at all costs.
Soon enough Naruto and Pikachu were off of Mount Moon and back on flat ground.
()
One early morning, only a few miles away from Cerulean City, Naruto and Pikachu were drawn towards a cliff-side lake were sounds of battle rang clearly through the air.
Concealing themselves in the canopy of some nearby trees, Naruto and Pikachu silently made their way towards the lake.
When they got there they were greeted with the sight of a Krabby and a Staryu fighting in the middle of the lake.
After getting themselves situated in the tree, Naruto and Pikachu proceeded to watch the Krabby and Staryu battle.
()
Staryu was quick to dodge a powerful jet of water, that came from the Krabby's claw, and countered by shooting its own stream of water out of the top spike on its body.
The Krabby swam just to the right of the Staryu's attack and quickly fired a trail of bubbles towards the Staryu.
Upon seeing the attack Staryu launched a Swift to intercept the attack.
It wasn't long before the two attacks collided. The resulting explosion caused the water in the center of lake to be severely displaced, making large waves ripple across the surface of the water.
Both fighters dove under the violent surface of the lake and resumed their battle.
The only indication of the battle underway were jets of water, trails of stars, and streams of bubbles that occasionally pierced the surface of the water.
Suddenly the center of the lake exploded outward, causing water to rain over the surrounding terrain and a gaping hole to form in the middle of the water.
Water quickly rushed in to fill the hole, but as soon as it did, a new hole was made as the Krabby carved its way through the lake.
The Krabby's body was connected to the end of a jet of water, and the power and speed of the water rendered the Krabby unable to move.
The Krabby's body was slammed into the cliff side, and as soon as that happened all the water that was once carrying the Krabby's body, plowed into the Krabby's body. The water completely engulfed the Krabby's body as it continued to force itself passed its body, just to splash into the rock behind.
Once all the water had passed the Krabby, the force holding the Krabby pinned to the wall of the cliff dissipated, causing the Krabby to fall from the crater it made in the cliff side and plummet towards the lake.
The Krabby did nothing to stop its decent and in no time the Krabby slammed into the surface of the lake. The resulting splash sent more ripples throughout the already turbulent surface of the lake.
When the waters finally calmed, the Staryu surfaced relatively unharmed, but exhausted.
Minutes passed with no sign of the Krabby, but a small ripple that formed under the Staryu alerted everyone to the Krabby's presence.
Staryu dodged to the right, just in time to avoid being hammered by the Krabby's claw.
The Staryu turned around to face the Krabby once more, but instead of seeing the Krabby's body, it was meet with the sight of a huge surge of water heading straight for it.
Acting quickly, the Staryu began to spin rapidly. Once the water surge came within three feet of the Staryu, the Staryu turned its body horizontally, while still spinning.
The Staryu shot forward straight into the water surge and was able to slice through the water with ease. The water did little to nothing to slow down the Staryu and the Staryu was closing in on the Krabby, fast.
Thinking fast, the Krabby closed its right claw, serving to cut its flow of water. As soon as that happened, the Krabby's claw glowed white and the Krabby prepared to intercept the Staryu.
When the Staryu was just inches away from the Krabby, the Krabby shifted its body to the right. This caused the Staryu to miss the Krabby by just a hair's width.
Right as the Staryu came in front of the Krabby's body, the Krabby slammed its right claw, right into the gem in the center of the Staryu's body.
The hit immediately stopped the Staryu's spin, and propelled the Staryu straight into the water just inches below.
The surface of the lake became calm once again as the Krabby searched for any sign of the Staryu.
It didn't take that long for the Staryu to surface, ten feet in front of the Krabby.
Upon seeing the Staryu, the Krabby shot another jet of water out of its claw. Not to be out done, the Staryu countered by launching a trail of stars at the water surge.
When the two attacks connected, some of the stars were pushed back by the force of the water. This caused some of the stars to collide, which resulted in small explosions that disrupted the front of the water surge.
The disruption allowed the rest of the stars to easily slice into the water surge. Even after the front of the water surge reformed and regained its momentum, it did nothing to slow down the stars as they easily traveled through the surge.
Seeing that its attack was no longer effective, the Krabby cut off the flow of water from its claw leapt to the right, to avoid the stars. Seconds after it did, the stars hit the water were the Krabby once was and promptly exploded.
As the Krabby turned around to face the Staryu once more, it unleashed a trail of bubbles in the Staryu's general direction.
The bubbles exploded upon impact with the water, but they didn't even touch the Staryu and, in just a matter of seconds, the Krabby was forced to block the spinning Staryu with one of its claws.
In process of trying to block the Staryu, the Krabby hit the tip of one of the Staryu's points, causing the Staryu's spin to be completely reversed.
Taking this in stride, the Staryu turned its body just enough so that it was spinning diagonally, just to the side of the Krabby's right claw. Acting quickly, the Krabby tried to block the Staryu by sticking its left claw in front of its body. But, unlike last time, the Staryu's momentum allowed it to overpower the Krabby's claw and push it down, out of the way.
Not having enough time to put up any other defense, the Krabby took the full force of the Staryu's attack.
A long, diagonal scratch began to form on the Krabby's body as the Staryu continued to grid itself into the Krabby, while maintaining its forward movement.
Doing its best to ignore the pain, the Krabby slowly lifted its right claw in front of the Staryu's gem and let loose a stream of bubbles.
The bubbles exploded upon contact with the Staryu's gem and, in no time, the Staryu was sent hurtling into the cliff side.
The Staryu's collision with the cliff side carved a, two foot deep, crater in the rock. The Staryu, painfully, got up and walked to the edge of the crater, to get a good view of the lake and the Krabby.
The Krabby simply stared at the Staryu, while it nursed the long diagonal scratch that covered the length of its body.
Taking initiative, the Staryu mustered every last bit of strength it had left in its being and jumped out of the crater it had made.
While the Staryu was in the air, just in front of the cliff side, it shot a massive surge of water from its center gem, aiming straight for the Krabby.
Not to be out done, the Krabby shot a powerful jet of water from its claws, to intercept the Staryu's attack.
The two attacks collided in midair, spraying water in all directions and creating a small shockwave that reverberated throughout the battlefield.
The two endless streams of water continued to crash against each other in a major power struggle, nether once willing to give up any ground.
Both pokemon knew that they couldn't keep this up for much longer so, in an attempt to overpower the other, both of the two fighters sent a one last pulse of water at the end of each of their attacks.
With nothing left in them, the Staryu and the Krabby could only watch as the last of their water streams continued to crash into each other. The two pluses of water were rapidly closing in on each other, and the two pokemon watched in anticipation to see who's was stronger.
Eventually the last of the water crashed against each other and the two pulses finally met for the grand finale.
As soon as they hit each other, a shockwave at least twice as big as the previous one traveled through the battlefield, and right after came the explosion.
Water was blown all over the area as the two, potent, pulses were broke apart into small water droplets the size of your average day rain.
The explosion caused the Staryu to be flung back into the cliff side and through two feet of solid rock. As for the Krabby, it was thrown deep enough into the lake, so that it hit the sandy bottom and kept going for another six inches.
()
The last few drops of water dropped back onto the lake, causing a few small ripples to travel over its, now tranquil, surface.
Pikachu and Naruto jumped down off their perch, onto the muddy ground that surrounded the lake, and it wasn't long before Pikachu jumped onto Naruto's shoulder; favoring it over the mud.
Naruto studied the Krabby and the Staryu with a calculating gaze as he reached inside his cloak, and, in no time, he sent two pokeballs flying towards the unconscious pokemon.
Both pokeballs were met with no resistance as they easily captured their targets. However only Krabby's pokeball made it to Naruto's hand, because the pokeball containing Staryu was instantly teleported to Professor Oak's lab.
After stashing Krabby's pokeball safely inside his cloak, Naruto took to the trees, planning on ending his journey to Cerulean City in only a matter of minutes.
()
The plan worked out flawlessly and Naruto soon found himself inside the boundaries of Cerulean City.
The comfortably humid air of the city, was a welcome change for both Naruto and Pikachu, and on their way to the Pokemon Center they both found themselves to be more relaxed than normal.
()
The doors of the Pokemon Center slid open as Naruto and Pikachu made their way inside. The lobby was filled with idol chatter, which served as a slightly irritating change, to Naruto, from the peace of traveling alone.
After he gave his pokemon to Nurse Joy, Naruto grabbed some food from the buffet and sat down in a corner booth to eat; silently listening in on some of the trainers conversations.
"Have you heard that the Cerulean City Gym finally stopped giving out badges?" One trainer asked.
"Yeah," Another trainer responded. "I've heard that the true gym leader returned right before the next challenger got his free badge."
"That must have sucked." The first trainer commented.
"Either way, the battle is still going on." The other trainer said. "Do you want to go see how it turns out?"
"Sure." The first trainer said. "After I eat."
Throughout the course of his meal, Naruto continued to hear conversations about the battle happening in the local gym. And with each conversation, his knowledge of the battle was updated.
The trainers that were holding the conversation tried to make the battle sound more exciting than it actually was, but still Naruto found himself very unimpressed.
"Naruto." Nurse Joy called as she came out of the treatment room, holding a tray containing his pokeballs with Pikachu sitting proudly on top.
After thanking Nurse Joy and taking his pokeballs, Naruto approached the pokemon transfer machine in the back left corner of the room.
Once he got there, Naruto held his pokedex in front of the machine. After the machine scanned his pokedex and verified him as a pokemon trainer, the screen in the middle of the machine came to life, showing all the pokemon Naruto currently had in Professor Oak's lab and all the pokemon currently in his possession.
After selecting Staryu, Naruto placed Growlithe's pokeball in between two silver tubes that were on the right side of the machine. Growlithe's pokeball simply hovered in between the tubes as the machine began the transfer.
Streaks of blue energy shot from the tubes and engulfed Growlithe's pokeball, hiding it from view. After a few seconds the blue energy gradually turned red and began to dissipate into the last few beams of spare energy.
After the machine finished and powered down, Naruto grabbed the pokeball and made his way out of the Pokemon Center, with Pikachu following close by his side.
()
In just a few minutes Naruto and Pikachu found themselves standing in front of the Cerulean City Gym.
'I might as well sign up for a battle.' Naruto thought as he and Pikachu entered the gym.
The lobby was a small blue room that had a door on the right side of the back wall and a grey work desk just to the left of the door. Behind the desk was a blonde haired girl that seemed to be watching videos on her computer.
"Excuse me." Naruto said, trying to get the girl's attention.
The girl immediately responded to Naruto's call by franticly closing the tab and sitting up in her chair as straight as possible, while pretending to type on the keyboard.
Sighing at the girls pathetic attempt to look like she was working, Naruto decided to get straight to business.
"Can I sign up for the next available gym battle." Naruto asked.
"Hum?" The girl asked, trying to pretend that she just realized Naruto was in the room. A small blush worked its way up to her cheeks as she turned to look at Naruto.
After quickly pulling herself together, the girl continued her charade.
"Ah!" The girl exclaimed as if just now processing what Naruto had asked. "Yes, I can sign you up."
After typing a few things into the computer, the girl relayed her findings to Naruto.
"Okay, the next available match is at ten o'clock tomorrow. Is that okay?" The girl paused, waiting for Naruto's conformation. And after receiving a simple nod of the head from Naruto, she proceeded. "Great! Now all I need is your full name and you'll be ready to go."
"Naruto Hisame." Naruto said simply.
After typing Naruto's name into the computer, the girl spoke again.
"Your all signed up Mr. Hisame, have a nice day." The girl said happily as she went back to slacking.
"Thank you." Was all Naruto said before he and Pikachu walked out of the gym, making their way towards the park.
()
The park was filled small green bushes that were littered throughout the otherwise empty area, with the only other inhabitants being the lush grass that seemed to thrive in the humid environment. In the center of the park was a large fountain that had no defining features, besides the fact that it was the only manmade object in the park, save a few benches.
The park served as the equivalent of Pewter City's town square and just that simple fact had Pikachu anticipating what was soon to come.
After finding a quiet spot near the edge of the park, Naruto threw two pokeballs in the air, producing both Pidgey and Scyther.
The two pokemon stood at attention with Pikachu right by their side.
"I want all three of you to release two levels of your suppression seals." Naruto ordered.
Power exploded through the clearing as the three pokemon completed the task they were given.
Without another word Naruto produced his last three pokeballs and threw them in the air, causing three trails of read energy to strike the ground and take shape.
Krabby, Staryu, and Rhyhorn appeared in front of Naruto and his other three pokemon. They were all slightly disoriented from their first time being released from a pokeball, but in about five seconds their vision cleared, their ears stopped ringing, and the smell of fresh air invaded their nostrils.
Staryu and Krabby simply stared at Naruto, after quickly piecing together what had happened while they were unconscious. But Rhyhorn, however, had a slightly more violent reaction when he lad eyes on Pikachu.
Rhyhorn roared as it prepared to charge the pokemon, but it was never able to move an inch.
"Pikachu, use Iron Tail. Scyther, use Acuminous Assault. Pidgey, use Aero Blade." Naruto ordered.
The three pokemon promptly disappeared as they began their assault on the enraged Rhyhorn.
Pain.
That was the only thing Rhyhorn was able to register as it collapsed, losing control of all of its muscles. Rhyhorn's body was littered with long gashes that ran down the length of its body. All it wanted to do was stop the blaring pain that was overloading its nerves, but no matter what the merciful apathy of unconsciousness would not over take it.
Krabby and Staryu straightened up a bit after they saw Rhyhorn be taken down with apparent ease.
"All three of you are now a part of this team." Naruto spoke to them as he circled around Rhyhorn's downed form. "I can teach you how to become stronger, but in return you must not only help your other teammates to the best of your ability, but also trust the other members of this team."
Naruto paused his speech to allow the three new pokemon to process the information.
"I am not forcing you to befriend your fellow teammates, because that is beyond mine and anyone's power. But I know that if you trust your companions and do your best to help and protect them, friendship shall come eventually." Naruto said as he looked Rhyhorn straight in the eyes. "The members of this team should not only consider each other friends, but also family. Because from now on your stuck with each other, until the day I die."
Once his speech was over Naruto stopped circling Rhyhorn and stood in front of Krabby and Staryu.
"Tomorrow you two will be battling in the Cerulean City Gym and I want you each to have at least one ace in the hole by then, so I will personally be training you both for the entirety of today." Naruto then set his gaze upon his first three pokemon. "For you three it will be your normal routine, shortened by thirty minutes and without a lunch brake."
After receiving the equivalent of a nod from all five pokemon, Naruto spoke again.
"Alright." Naruto began. " Since everybody seems to be ready... training begins now."
()
Today was the day to take on the Cerulean Gym. And Naruto was ready.
After picking up his pokemon from the front desk, Naruto left the Pokemon Center in a similar manner as the day before. And just like the day before he and Pikachu found themselves in front of the Cerulean Gym.
As soon as they walked in, they were greeted by the blonde girl from yesterday and two other girls, one with blue hair and one with red hair.
"Welcome." The blonde girl greeted. "Are you ready for your match."
After receiving a nod from Naruto, the girl with blue hair continued the conversation.
"If you'll just follow us, we'll take you to the stadium" The girl said.
With that said, the three girls turned around and walked through the door, leading Naruto and Pikachu to their next battle.
()
"Have you seen who your fighting today?" Ash asked, genuinely curious.
"No, I haven't had the time." Misty responded. "Do you know Brock?"
"It's Naruto." Brock answered, causing Misty to pale and Ash's face to light up with excitement.
At that very moment, all three of Misty's sisters filed into the room, with Naruto and Pikachu following close behind. Naruto when looked at the group his facial expression didn't seem to change, but Pikachu on the other hand ran towards Denkou to begin the TPG.
"Do you remember me from Pewter City?" Ash asked, with his voice full of hope.
"Yes." Naruto answered simply as he scanned the groups faces.
"I knew you would." Ash said as he crossed his arms and nodded his head. "I am unforgettable after all."
"Are you the gym leader?" Naruto asked as he placed his gaze on Misty.
"Hey, I'm talking here!" Ash exclaimed as he waved his hands.
"Yes." Misty mumbled timidly, seemingly oblivious of Ash.
"I know you can hear me!" Ash raged.
"Well then, shall we get started?" Naruto asked as he began to make his way onto the battlefield, with Pikachu once again at his feet.
"Well that was rude." Ash huffed as he watched Misty follow Naruto onto the battlefield.
"Come on lets get to the bleachers." Brock said sadly as he watched Misty's sisters leave the stadium.
'How am I supposed to fight someone like him?' Misty asked herself as she stared at Naruto's back. 'He was easily able to defeat Samurai back in Pewter City, he seems to know what he is doing, I can hardly look him in the face, and, to top it all off, he could just get his Pikachu to electricity the pool so all my pokemon are put at a sever disadvantage. Well, on the bright side, if I do beat him, maybe he will start to worship me, or something.
()
Once everyone was situated, Naruto proceeded to break the silence.
"What are the rules?" Naruto questioned as he studied the battlefield, which was basically a pool that was ten feet deep that had a few circular platforms floating along its surface.
After shaking herself out of her daze and forcing her blush down, Misty put all her previous thoughts about Naruto in the back of her head, and mustered all her confidence.
"This will be a three on three pokemon battle, with only the challenger being able to switch pokemon." Misty stated. "Pokemon can only be switched when one pokemon is defeated in battle. The battle is won when all three of the opponents pokemon are unable to battle."
()
"What gives?" Ash asked as he listened to the rules. "Those weren't the rules when I fought her."
"Those were the most common rules for a standard gym battle, so she is probably trying to be as formal as she can for Naruto." Brock deduced.
Ash began to nod his head, but a hurt look suddenly overtook his features as realization dawned on him.
"Wait." Ash began his voice slightly broken. "So Misty didn't think I was good enough to take seriously?"
"Apparently not." Brock answered casually, causing Ash to hang his head in depression.
()
Naruto stared at Misty from across the battlefield waiting for her to speak.
Slightly unnerved by Naruto unwavering stare, Misty hesitated a second before she spoke.
"Now that the rules are set, the battle can begin." Misty said as she forced herself to return Naruto's stare. "Are you ready."
"Yes." Naruto answered as he withdrew a pokeball from his cloak."Then lets begin." Misty said, holding her own pokeball.
()
Scyther
Acuminous Assault: A combination of Rapid Impact and Acuminate. The speed and agility provided by Rapid Impact, coupled with the cleaving power of Acuminate; give birth to a one fast, devastating attack.
Pidgey
Aero Blade: The manipulation of wind. The pokemon channels their Wind Aura to the front and back portions of their wings. This creates a thin, sharp layer of Aura along the edges of the pokemon's wings.()
AN: Well there is Chapter 8, sorry it was a little short, but there isn't really anything interesting I could think to put during the trip from Pewter City to Cerulean City. But anyway for those who want action, the next chapter is dedicated to the battle between Naruto and Misty so that is something to look forward to. Also in about four chapters you will finally be able to see Naruto in action. And in about nine or ten chapters I will reveal a teaser for a story I have been thinking of.
Before anyone says anything to me I am aware of the fact that Naruto's pokemon took down Growlithe and Rhyhorn quite easily. But you must understand that not only had Growlithe been training for four days straight, but it had also been caught by surprise. Furthermore, Pikachu was able to beat Rhyhorn even before it had started its training with Naruto and this time it also had the help of Scyther. Also the fact that Rhyhorn was blinded by rage didn't hurt either.
And this is probably not the last time I will have to say this, but, Naruto and his pokemon will not be super powered! I cannot tell you how many times people complained about this in the first version of this story. So no Naruto will not win every battle, and no every battle isn't going to be as close as the one he had with Flint. Also, yes sometimes he will be able to beat some people and pokemon easily; because lets face it if I made everyone the have the same skill all the time then a ten year old pokemon trainer, who just got their first pokemon, would be able to take on someone participating in the Pokemon league and that would be stupid.
That brings me to another thing, how could Ash's Pikachu have a hard time battling a Chikorita that has only been battling for a year, when Pikachu participated in the Pokemon League and held its own? That is simply not right, Pikachu should have been able to beat that Chikorita in one hit and knock it unconscious for a month. They shouldn't have been fighting on equal grounds.
Anyway, as always reviews are appreciated, as well as any new attacks that you can think of.
Until next time...
