AN: So it seems that the Lightning Orb attack that I have incorporated into this story for more than a year has been put into the new pokémon series as Electro Ball… well it looks like I'm gaining influence.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Pokémon. Yet.

Last time on The Rise of Chaos: Naruto recounted his past life in Konoha to Ash, Brock, Misty, and Denkou. Afterwards the group once again focuses on the immediate threat posed by an organization that had previously been idle for centuries. Naruto poses his question as to how to recruit the army needed to stop the organization and it is Denkou who responds. Denkou plan, translated by Ash, is too stage a major defense in Vermillion City as a way of advertising the need for the population to rally. Naruto accepts the plan and takes the group outside for the beginning of a long week of training.
()
'It's been three days since Naruto has begun training us in the ways of the ninja he has told us so much about.' Misty mused as she half-stumbled into the bathroom after another long day of training.
Misty locked the door behind her and sluggishly undressed herself as she checked the clock.
Nine thirty.
'Naruto runs a tight schedule.' Misty thought somewhat bitterly as she worked her way out of the last of her cloths, throwing them in a heap on the tiled floor. 'Wake up at seven, train, eat lunch at twelve, train some more, eat dinner at eight thirty, get to the suite at nine thirty, thirty minutes of free time, and be in bed by ten exactly.'
It was a very demanding schedule.
But, it required more from Naruto than it did from anyone else.
Everyday Naruto would create twenty-seven clones. One dedicated to training each of their pokémon individually while the others were sent to train her, Ash, and Brock individually.
Naruto himself would also go off somewhere to conduct his own training session.
Misty didn't exactly know how Naruto's clones worked, but judging by moment of utter exhaustion that Naruto experienced after every clone was dispersed. She had to guess it wasn't easy.
Misty released a contented sigh as she felt the warm droplets of water slide down her skin as she leaned against the cold tile wall to support her sore legs.
'Even with three days of training we have only just been able to sense our Aura, let alone control it.' Misty thought. 'If it is this hard to train just three people to be effective soldiers then how will Naruto be able to train an army?'
Misty pondered this question for a moment as her gaze returned to the clock.
Nine forty five.
The water supply that had been sustaining the shower was quickly cut off as Misty turned the knob and exited the stall, grabbing a towel on her way out.
'Why are the ones that are even training for this?' Misty thought bitterly, as she began to dry herself off. 'There are probably a million other people that are more capable of helping Naruto lead this resistance than two ten year olds and a teenager.'
'I don't even think Ash realizes seriousness of this situation.' Misty ranted as she began to put on her pajamas. 'We are training to learn how to fight people that are faster and more dangerous than a bullet. I'm not sure he realizes just how easy it would be for us to get killed.'
A scowl fixed itself on Misty's face as she picked up her tattered clothing and made her way out of the bathroom.
Making her way over to the washing machine Misty throw her clothes on top of the pile of Brock's cloths and shut the door. Everyday Naruto would have them ready by the time they got out of bed no matter how much damage they had taken.
Walking towards her room, Misty heard a loud snore resonate though the room.
Her facial features softened almost immediately upon hearing the sound and her scowl quickly disappeared as she glanced at the sleeping form on the couch.
Ash was lying in a painfully awkward position on the couch, having likely fallen asleep almost as soon as he got back into the room. He was still wearing the clothes he wore during training and he had Denkou curled up on his stomach sleeping just as soundly as he was.
'They have been putting everything they have into Naruto's training sessions.' Misty thought fondly as she walked into her bedroom and pulled a sheet off her bed. 'They seem extremely dedicated to fighting this organization. It seems like they both really believe they can really contribute to Naruto's army.'
Making her way back into the main room Misty spread the sheet over both Ash and Denkou in one fluid motion before turning off the light and walking back into her own room.
Working her way into the covers, Misty shifted her body sideways and closed her eyes attempting to find some peace before the training resumed in nine hours.
'Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to at least try and help Naruto with this. After all he is only three years older than us so maybe age isn't that much of a factor.' Misty thought as her consciousness quickly left her. 'And, who knows, maybe Naruto will make a navy.'

"How is she?" Nobuo asked as he entered the hospital's main lobby.
"Well sir, she has suffered from heavy blood loss and the acid that escaped from her stomach has severely damaged many of her internal organs. She also has a punctured lung and several broken ribs." The Omicron member reported, approaching Nobuo with a clipboard in hand. "Thankfully her heart was spared from any extensive damage and her lungs are still functioning. But, she has fallen into a coma and if her recovery continues to progress as it has been, then she will not live for much longer."
"I see." Nobuo said simply, promptly leaving the clinic without another word.
That was the fifth time he had stopped by in the past three days and it seemed that every single time they were either sure that she was going to die or unsure if she was going to live.
"Damn it." Nobuo said in frustration as he pounded the side of his fist against the steel wall of the corridor, leaving a shallow impression.
"Well it seems someone has problems." Hisashi said as he approached Nobuo.
"Unless you've become suicidal, then I suggest you back off Hisashi." Nobuo growled, never lifting his head from its position facing the floor.
"Easy now." Hisashi said in a semi-mocking manner. "Where all civil here."
"What do you want?" Nobuo asked, removing his fist from the wall and straightening his posture.
"I came to tell you that a new scout has been assigned to watch over Naruto."
"Where is he?" Nobuo asked, tightening his fist.
"I have a feeling if I tell you then you might go after him." Hisashi said, locking eyes with Nobuo. "Am I right?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Someone very high in the corporate food chain has requested that we wait for Naruto to make the first move."
"How high up is this person?"
"Higher than you." Hisashi mocked, gaining a cold glare from Nobuo.
"Fine." Nobuo said, making his way down the corridor. "I can wait."
()
Thump.
Hearing the distinct sound, Naruto broke off from his training session and made his way towards a small glade adjacent to his own.
They were now three weeks into their month-long training session. Nine days remained between them and their first move against the organization.
Everybody seemed to be getting anxious.
Entering the forest clearing, Naruto made his way to Misty's unconscious form and began the process of transferring some of his Aura into her own Aura coils.
The process was a relatively simple one and with Naruto's large Aura reserves it didn't take long before Misty was back on her feet once again.
"Thanks." Misty said offhandedly, immediately sprinting straight towards what Naruto had deemed as her personal oak tree.
Nearby Ash and Brock were performing the same task as Misty had resumed, unfazed by the fact that Misty had succumb to darkness two minutes prior.
After all they had both been there before.
()
With Misty back on her feet and his services no longer needed, Naruto made his way back to his own self designated training area.
The training had proven to be even more successful than he had first hoped. Ash, Misty, and Brock all had a respectable amount of both Aura reserves and control. They had already completed the training of the basic techniques taught to all graduation academy students.
It seemed that when you weren't focusing on teaching history, math, and grammar at the same time teaching someone how to be a ninja took a lot less time. Sure the training schedule might be brutal, but you couldn't argue with the results.
As for the pokémon, their training was progressing much faster than that of their trainers. With each of them having: a natural grasp of Aura, inhuman amounts of stamina, the ability to take large amounts of punishment, as well as their own personal Naruto to tell them what to do; each one was advancing at an astonishing rate.
Naruto on the other hand…
In between reviving those rendered unconscious by donating his Aura, dealing with the overwhelming physical toll that came with sustaining a large number of active clones for extended periods of time, sustaining a continuous genjutsu, planning for the battle that was soon to come, and having to worry about the training of 27 others really cut into his own training.
But, really that in itself could be called training.
()
"Alright." Naruto said, flanked by all 24 of their pokémon as he entered the clearing. "That's enough training for today."
"But its only twelve o'clock." Misty said, hanging upside down from a tree branch using only the power of Aura.
"We're going to need to be well rested for tomorrow." Naruto said, unfazed when Pikachu decided to jump on his shoulder.
"You think were ready to go through with the plan?" Brock asked making his way out of a small crater.
"No time like the present." Naruto said, finding a nearby oak tree to lean against. "It's a miracle in itself that the organization hasn't yet began to seize territory and your training has progressed much faster than I had hoped possible. It would be best to make our move soon before the organization can gain a decent foothold in its campaign."
"Hell yeah." Ash said, falling through the forest canopy and performing two textbook backflips before landing. "So, when are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning." Naruto answered, not all that surprised by Ash's showy entrance. "Well have breakfast at in the Pokémon Center's lobby and there I will brief you on the details of the plan."
With that said, Naruto left the clearing with his nine pokémon, heading towards the Pokémon Center. And, more specifically, his bed.
"Well, it seems we have the rest of the day to ourselves." Misty said with a smirk. "Is there anything special you guys want to do before we leave tomorrow?"
Performing a series of hand signs and turning toward the large group of both humans and pokémon, Ash answered Misty with a grin that promised something bad.
At least to her.
"I don't know about every one else, but I know what I want to do." Ash said, ending on the tiger sign. "You can join in if you want."
()
"Today's the day." Ash sang mirthfully. "In only a matter of moments we'll all be on our way." (1)
"Please." Misty said, rubbing her temples as she leaned on the table with her elbows. "Spare us the torture. Wasn't yesterday enough?"
"Oh please, you enjoyed that just as much as I did."
"…"
"Thought so."
"You both better eat." Brock said in between bites of his hamburger. "When Naruto gets here I don't think we'll have much time before we leave and I don't think he will tolerate a lunch break for this trip."
"Your probably right." Ash said, passing a large bottle of ketchup to Denkou. "Race ya."
"You've got to be…"
Misty's words were soon lost to the sounds of Ash's obnoxious eating habits as he attacked the first of what would be many victims.
Denkou tackled the challenge with just as much ferocity, ripping the protective cap off of the ketchup bottle and sucking the contents out at an unhealthy rate.
The competition was soon halted, however, when Pikachu decided to appear and give Denkou a hardy slap on the back.
The results were explosive.
"Well now that I have your attention," Naruto said, glaring at Pikachu who failed to even register his presence, as it was too busy rolling on the floor while Denkou struggled to draw in a breath.
Gliding into the seat next to Brock, Naruto placed a genjutsu over to the group to make it appear as though they were simply eating.
"As you all know we will be heading towards Vermillion City." Naruto said, as everyone leaned back in their seats and gave him their utmost attention. "As a makeshift cool down exercise for the training that you have gone though this month, we, along with all of our pokémon, will be running full speed to our destination."
"All gravity seals will be removed," Ash grinned at this. "and we will be taking a brief lunch break on our way through Saffron City, but otherwise there will be no stops. We should make it to Vermillion sometime this evening."
"And what happens once we get there?" Brock asked.
"I will explain that in Saffron City." Naruto said as he rose form his seat, motioning for the others to follow.
Making there way outside the group make their way towards the edge of the forest releasing there pokémon as they walked at a leisurely pace.
Stopping at the edge of the forest, Naruto motioned for the group to form up around him.
"Don't you think we should enter the forest first so the people inside the Pokémon Center can't see us?" Misty asked curiously as she moved into a position just behind Naruto's left side.
"We could." Naruto said. "But, they're just going to figure out our abilities tomorrow anyways. Might as well start advertising now."
"I like the way you think." Ash said, a large grin adorning his face as he took a position to Naruto's right.
"Lets begin." Naruto said as he formed a hand sign and lowered his head just the slightest bit.
Everyone else followed his example, anxiously awaiting his next words.
"Hey Ash." Naruto said suddenly, turning to face him.
"What?" Ash asked utterly bewildered.
"Race ya."
And just like that he was gone.
Pikachu followed him almost immediately and all of Naruto's pokémon disappeared soon after that.
A smirk quickly broke out across Ash's face as the large wave of Aura they had released upon their exit slowly floated away.
"Your on." Ash said to himself, releasing his own pulse of Aura before he too vanished.
The others were quick to follow.
()
Ash laughed freely as he bounded through the tree branches at inhuman speeds. He knew that he had grown over the course of the last month, but to have come so far…
Jumping down to the forest floor, Ash skillfully weaved in and out of the tree trunks with a shit-eating grin implanted firmly onto his face.
The smile quickly faded however, when a very familiar voice made its way into his ear canal.
"Having fun?"
Looking to his right, Ash caught sight of red hair before he was forced to dodge another tree trunk.
Jumping back into the forest canopy, Ash nearly lost his balance as a huge rush of air plowed into his back.
After stopping himself from stumbling to his doom, Ash lifted his head to see the backs of Misty, Brock, and every single pokémon that joined them on the run.
Not one to be humiliated in such a way, Ash resumed his dash with extra vigor.
'Wait a second.' Ash thought as he struggled to close the distance. 'I have an idea.'
()
"I have a bad feeling about this." Brock said as he glanced over his shoulder. "He has been back there for at least a minute."
"That can't be good." Misty said as she too glanced over her shoulder. "He is generating more Aura than normal. He's up to something."
After finishing her sentence Misty took one more look over her shoulder, watching as Ash landed on another branch.
But, this time he took a bit longer to jump off of it.
"He wouldn't." Misty mumbled keeping her eyes glued on Ash.
The glue didn't seem to hold, however, as Ash quickly disappeared from the realms of her vision, leaving a large amount of splinters in his wake.
A distinctive laugh reverberated throughout the forest as Ash found himself soaring high above the forest canopy.
He laughed even louder as he was able to pick out a few astonished faces, human and pokémon alike, though some small gaps in the canopy.
Beginning his decent, Ash made contact with another branch and propelled himself forward, toning down the amount of Aura he used.
Cruising though the thick forest canopy Ash began to lose himself to boredom, Naruto and his pokémon were nowhere in sight and Misty and Brock were both left in his dust along with both his pokémon and their own.
'I wonder.' Ash thought.
Holding his hands in the tiger seal, Ash began to channel his Aura into his legs. Hoping for a flashy result.
He got one.
"Shiiiiiiitttttttttt." (2) Ash screamed as he flailed though the air having been thrown high above the canopy by the explosion.
Passing the apex of his flight, Ash began his decent, careening towards multiple thick wooden surfaces that probably wouldn't be pleasant to land on.
"This is going to suck." Ash said, bracing himself for the collision.
But, a tug at the collar of his shirt signaled that he had been saved.
Craning his neck upwards, Ash caught sight of Pidgeotto's distinctive form.
"Thanks buddy." Ash said. "You're a lifesaver."
Pidgeotto gave a small squawk of acknowledgement before making its way back into the forest canopy and dropping Ash on the nearest tree branch.
"You are truly stupid." Misty said as she fell in step with Ash. "You could have killed yourself."
"Not stupid." Ash said, as he began to channel his Aura once more. "Just fearless. And maybe a wee bit awesome."
And with that said, Ash once again shot himself high above the forest canopy, laughing the whole way.
()
"Now that were all here, I'll begin to go over the plan." Naruto said, as the group got comfortable in the Pokémon Center lobby.
They all listened intently, occasionally taking small bites out of the small snack that they were forced to accept as lunch.
"From the start of our training sessions to our exit into the forest, the organization had a scout watching us the whole time." Naruto began, quickly raising his hand to stop any comments. "However, just like the last scout that you saw me take down, this scout also wasn't able to break through any of the genjutsu I placed on him. This leads me to believe that my skills alone were not enough to even act as a minor annoyance. This being said, I also believe that until we form a substantial army, the organization will simply continue to regard us as a minor threat and will simply defend and scout us as needed."
"So you're basically saying that until we have enough people to actually pose a threat to them, the organization will not attack us directly?" Brock asked.
"They won't attack us with any major amount of forces." Naruto clarified. "Since my arrival the organization has attacked me on two different occasions. One you witnessed yourselves. But, on both of these occasions I was only attacked with only one or two squads of poorly trained soldiers."
"So, your saying that while their attacks may become a nuisance, until we get a substantial army they won't be much to worry about." Ash summarized.
"Exactly." Naruto said.
"But, what does this have to do with the plan?" Misty asked, thrown off course by the apparent digression.
"It simply gives you a reason as to why I made the plan the way I did." Naruto explained. "And, more specifically, why defense isn't really taken into account."
Gaining a nod of understanding from Misty, Naruto was quick to return to his briefing.
"As I was saying, I put the organization scout under a genjutsu that prevented him from seeing any and all of our training sessions." Naruto said. "But, it also does one more thing. It is currently in the process of, not only masking the fact that we traveled through the forest the way we did, but also leading the scout on a path to Vermillion City."
Taking a small pause to catch his breath and reorganize his thoughts, Naruto continued.
"The scout should arrive in Vermillion City an hour after our arrival, giving us a generous amount of time to rest and set up any traps or defensive measures before we summon the organization troops." Naruto said. "During this period me and Ash will challenge the gym leader and, depending on how it goes, we will either join you immediately and I will summon the troops or I'll give one of you the order to."
"Wait a second." Misty interrupted as she waved her hands in an X formation. "How exactly do we summon the organization troops?"
"You mortally wound the scout." Naruto said.
"Ahh."
"Well that's the plan." Naruto said. "Anymore questions."
"Yes." Ash said, raising his hand like a schoolchild. "This may be kind of off topic, but I've been wondering about this the entire month. How are you able to carry around all nine of your pokémon? I thought the limit was six."
"I got a pass from Professor Oak before we started training." Naruto explained. "I promised not to engage in any official pokémon battles and that was that."
"I see."
"Anymore questions?" Naruto asked, receiving a chorus of 'no'.
"Well, if that's the case then we better get moving." Naruto said, rising from his seat in the booth.
"Alright." Ash yelled, as he jumped over Misty and out of the open window at the end of the booth. "Let's do this proper."
()
"Annnnnddddd, we've arrived." Ash announced, startling a few passersby as he seemingly appeared out of thin air.
"The plan starts now." Naruto said, fazing into existence beside Ash and disappearing just as suddenly.
"What no break?" Misty asked sarcastically, stopping by Ash only long enough to get the words out before once again leaving his vision.
Sprinting towards the Vermillion City Gym, Ash wasn't surprised to see Naruto already waiting for him with Pikachu wrestling Denkou near his feet.
"Did you already choose your six pokémon?" Ash asked, as the last of his pokémon began to appear by his side.
"Yeah." Naruto said, promptly spinning on his heel and walking towards the building's entrance.
The action gave Naruto's cloak a dramatic flourish that Ash quickly found himself jealous of.
"I need to get one of those." Ash mumbled, as he recalled his pokémon and followed Naruto inside with Denkou taking its place on his shoulder, stopping only long enough to give the building a quick onceover.
The majority of the building consisted of reflective blue windows. Only a relatively thin strip of teal concrete broke the building's otherwise monotonous appearance.
Two large lightning blots crossed in a rough X formation at the front of the teal strip and just below them was a set of big blue doors that had a single lightning bolt depicted at their center.
"You want to challenge me?"
Ash heard the booming voice as soon as he opened up the, abnormally large, blue doors.
"No. We want to challenge you."
This time Ash heard Naruto's distinct, near monotone, voice.
Looking to the right Ash noticed Naruto gesturing towards him. He also noticed a very large, well-muscled man with noticeably tan skin and spiky blonde hair.
The man was wearing a green army jacket that was unbuttoned to reveal a sculpted six-pack. The man also wore baggy beige jeans and black army boots.
On his hands, the man wore fingerless black gloves and spiked braces on his wrists.
"Oh, how cute." The man said, redirecting his gaze toward Ash. "This one has a Pikachu too. What are you two trying to do here, have me give you a badge out of pity? Come back when you get some real pokémon."
The man's comment got a few chuckles out of his two cronies that Ash had neglected to notice until then.
Raising his hand to halt any impending outburst form Ash, Pikachu, or Denkou, Naruto spoke once more.
"The fact that you are biased against Pikachu's is hardly a just reason for you to turn down two challengers." Naruto said, his calm demeanor staying constant as he focused his gaze on the towering man. "It'll defiantly be hard justify when the pokémon league officials question you on it."
Dead silence followed Naruto's implied threat.
It remained unbroken until the sound of booming laughter did more than enough to shatter it.
"You've got balls kid, I'll give you that." The gym leader, Ash now identified as Lieutenant Surge, said. "I'll tell you what, I'll let you both fight me at the same time. It'll be a two on one match between your Pikachus and my Raichu."
"Deal." Naruto said making his way to the battlefield.
"Wait, can he do that?" Ash asked, falling in step with Naruto.
"To become a gym leader you must become certified by the league which means going though multiple training programs and many different tests. The certification is a sign that the gym leader is trusted by the league to administer a proper challenge to every challenger." Naruto explained. "So yes he can."
"I see." Ash said, scanning the area for the first time since his entrance.
The building was basically one big warehouse. The windows that seemed to have made up the entirety of the structure succeeded in preventing almost any natural light from entering the structure, only leaving enough light for the occupants to see without much trouble.
Lining the crease connecting the roof to the structure was a long strip of what Ash assumed was some kind of either neon or stadium light.
'Stadium.' Ash thought, quickly redirecting his gaze toward the flat, concrete battlefield. 'Defiantly stadium.'
As Ash struggled to chase the overwhelming amount of black spots out of his vision, Pikachu and Denkou took their places on the battlefield looking quite confident.
"You ready?" Naruto asked as Ash took his place at his side.
"Hell yeah." Ash said enthusiastically as he blinked the last of the black dots out of his vision.
"Good because I want you to do something."
"And that would be?"
Any response was cut off however as Lt. Surge's female crony began to speak from her place on the left side of the middle of the battlefield.
"This battle will be between the two challengers and the Vermillion City gym leader Lieutenant Surge." She announced. "This will be a two on one match between each challengers' respective Pikachu and the gym leader's Raichu. The first side to defeat all of their opponent's pokémon will be victorious. Now, let the battle begin!"
"I want you to show me how much you have progressed." Naruto said, as Surge called out his Raichu.
"How so?" Ash asked raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
"A Lightning Orb would be nice." Naruto said. "Has Denkou replaced its gravity seals yet?"
"No."
"Perfect."
Ash had to smile at that.
"Are you two babies going to talk all day or are you going to at least try to win?" Surge taunted as he and his Raichu placed there hands on their hips and laughed obnoxiously.
"Denkou use Lightning Orb." Ash said, disregarding Surge's comment. "Use everything thing you have."
Giving Ash a small nod, Denkou closed it eyes and began to focus its Aura, calling in every last bit.
"Pikachu, get ready to run clean up." Naruto said, while Denkou continued to draw in its Aura.
Thin blue wisps of Aura flew around Denkou's body and sparks of electricity began to shoot out of its cheeks and skip across its fur.
"What's this?" Surge asked, in mild astonishment. "Raichu hit it with a Thunderbolt before it becomes a real threat."
How little did he know.
Raichu sent out a powerful stream of electricity towards Denkou, but it was far to late.
Denkou opened its eyes and almost immediately all off the Aura and electricity that had been revolving around its body all shot towards the tip of its tail.
All of the Aura and electricity meet, forming one tiny ball of energy. This ball created a powerful explosion as it quickly expanded to be almost twice the size of Denkou's body.
With its attack fully formed, Denkou seemed to simply faze into existence directly above Raichu.
After preforming two flawless front flips, the of electricity orb was released from Denkou's tail and was sent hurtling towards Raichu, who was still in the process of craning its neck to make visual contact with Denkou.
The orb engulfed Raichu's body and suspended it about an inch above the ground as it proceeded to overload its body with insane amounts of electricity.
Once this was complete, the orb promptly exploded digging a huge crater in the gym's concrete floor. Large amounts of dust were kicked up and a blinding light was formed at the point of detonation compelling everyone inside the gym to cover their eyes. A powerful wind also blew throughout the gym, which, along with the help of multiple large chunks of concrete, succeeded in throwing Surge flat onto his back.
Complete silence washed over the entire gym as soon as the sound of the explosion dwindled out, leaving an incessant ringing in its place.
Surge made no move to get up. He was either too stunned to realize he was on the ground, or too winded to be successful.
As the dust finished settling and Raichu unconsciousness was confirmed, a loud clap was heard as Pikachu's and Denkou's high five meet when they appeared in the very center of the battlefield.
"Raichu is unable to battle." The female referee announced, remembering to finish her job. "The winners are Pikachu and Denkou."
As soon as she finished her sentence booming laughter rang throughout the gym.
The laughter persisted for about thirty seconds before Lt. Surge finally decided to explain himself.
"That was unexpected." He said, pausing to climb to his feet while letting off a few more chuckles. "Completely throttled ten seconds after the fight began. Maybe you two aren't babies after all."
"Uh. Thank you?" Ash said quite lamely.
Having finally gotten back on his feet, Surge made his way over to his downed partner. Crouching over Raichu's body, Surge placed a small spiky pill on its tongue. He then proceeded to gently lean Raichu's head back allowing the pill free access to Raichu's throat were its digestive tract took over.
In a matter of moments Raichu's eyes once again fluttered open and it grudgingly lifted itself out of Surge's arms and onto its own feet.
With this task done, Surge motioned for his male crony to head towards Naruto and Ash as he himself began to traverse the length of the battlefield with Raichu close by his side.
Diverting his gaze toward the approaching crony, Ash noticed a he had two small boxes in his possession and he didn't need three guesses to figure out what was in them.
Both men stopped in front of the two challengers and their pokémon at about the same time and Surge took it as his cue to speak.
"I must say I am impressed." Surge said, as he and Raichu each gave nods of approval. "An event such as this has not happened in the entire history of my career."
Gesturing for his crony to open the two boxes, Surge continued.
"Now I present you with the thunder badge. Take it and get the hell out." With that said Lt. Surge promptly turned around and left with his Raichu tailing close behind.
"Well that was interesting." Ash said, as he plucked his badge out of its velvet case.
The badge seemed to be a generic representation of the sun with an orange gem center and multiple golden triangles protruding outwards in a radial pattern.
"Brock, Misty." Naruto said as he opened up a radio connection over their pokégears.
"We hear you." Brock said, his voice slightly obscured by the static that seems to come standard with any radio.
"Its time."
"Got it."
With those precious words said, Naruto quickly cut the connection and motioned for Ash to follow him, as he seemed to faze out of existence.
The two reappeared at the northern edge of the city, landing to the right of Misty who was staring into an area of the trees where Brock was probably carrying out Naruto's order.
"It's done." Brock reported as he appeared to their right.
"Put these on." Naruto ordered, as three plain black trench coats appeared in his hand along with three facemasks exactly identical to his own.
"What for?" Ash asked as he took the two articles of clothing.
"Style." Naruto said, gaining silence as a response. "That and the fact that your parents would probably get worried if they saw you killing people on TV."
"That makes sense." Misty mumbled as she shrugged the coat over her clothes.
Logically assuming that overalls weren't going to be the ideal wardrobe for a ninja, Misty had opted to wear a formfitting yellow t-shirt along with a pair of blue shorts that came down to just below her knees.
"So we have the enemy on their way, so all we need now are all the spectators." Naruto said, after everyone had dressed.
"I got this." Ash said, as he ran through a series of hand signs ending on the tiger.
"Not again." Misty sighed, receiving a devious smirk from Ash as he faced the nearest building.
"Make sure to pull down your mask first." Naruto warned.
To late.

"Nobuo." Hisashi called causing Nobuo to halt his advance though the corridor on his way to the Omicron team's wards.
Otherwise known as the clinic.
Coming to a stop a respectable distance away from him, Hisashi began to explain himself.
"Our scout has been taken out." Hisashi said, watching as Nobuo immediately shifted his body to fully face him. "The order has been given to send a small army to the point at which his distress signal was sent."
"I will join on the mission." Nobuo said with conviction, feeling no need to ask for permission.
"They figured as much." Hisashi commented, completely unsurprised by Nobuo's declaration. "You have been assigned to lead one platoon of Omega Section 10, one platoon of Delta Section 10, and two platoons of Alpha both Section 10."
"Section 10? That's it? Naruto was able to defeat Tsukiko, that alone tells us that almost any amount of Section 10 units, no matter how numerous will put up much of a fight against him." Nobuo said, making his displeasure blatantly obvious. "Section 1 on the other hand…"
"If I recall correctly you also spent some time in the Omicron wards, Nobuo, Tsukiko wasn't Naruto's only victim." Hisashi said amusedly, receiving nothing more than a glare from Nobuo. "But that is beside the point. I am told the Ace simply wants your team to put on a show not a massacre."
"So that's how far up this goes." Nobuo said, mildly surprised at the level of attention this event warranted.
"As I said before, higher than you." Hisashi commented idly.
"I don't care how high this goes." Nobuo commented after a moment of thought. "Whether I lead a show or a massacre, the death of one is assured."

AN: Well, there's the chapter hope you liked it.
(1) If anyone knows were this is from, childhood nostalgia for the win.
(2) I realize the fact that some of you will disagree with that fact that a ten year old is swearing, but honestly this is the same ten year old that can stomach the fact that he might be killing people. A few swear words are hardly that much of a stretch.
As always reviews are welcome and appreciated.
Until next time...
