Okay guys here's chapter 6 of Naruto:Johto Journeys. Nice to see so many people faving and reviewing this story so thanks. And judging from the poll, it seems as if Espeon has won the contest and so the poll is closed. Hinata's evolution for her Eevee will be the Psychic type Pokemon, Espeon. Thanks for voting.
The next day, after a little rest at the Pokemon Center, Naruto, who had just finished shining his badges and replacing his Rattata with Heracross; Hinata and their partners stood up to go and get ready to head out for the next town. Kiba and Shino had won their challenge against Shibi yesterday and had already left for the next town/city...and Akatsuchi seemed to disappear. They were about to exit when the television started blaring out annoying, yet catchy music, notifying the viewers about the important news report.
"Helloooooo Johto Region. Anko Mitarashi here and today I'm here to tell you all about the next upcoming contest. Ever since Violet City, we, the committee for the Johto Region's Contest Association have come up with the next place for the second contest. The next contest will take place in the largest city in all of Johto, a spectacular mall complex and the renowned Bicycle Shop and the Normal Type Pokemon gym. You've guessed it, GOLDENROD CITY! SO hurry on down, up, left, right wherever you're coming from and attend this event cause it's only two days from now!"
Anko's image then vanished from the screen as the news cut to a commercial.
"Well Hinata-chan, seems you guys have a new contest and right where my next gym battle is gonna take place too" Naruto grinned.
"Quilava Lava!" the Volcano Pokemon nudged Eevee and smiled. Eevee's eyes turned into upside down Us.
"Vee Vee!"
"So let's go" Naruto said and the two trainers headed out of the Pokemon Center with their new partners. After they passed the gym towards the passage that led out of Azalea they were stopped by someone yelling.
"OOOOIIIII!" the two trainers turned along with their partners and blinked as they saw the speeding red blob of a Hiker that was Akatsuchi. Akatsuchi panted, clutching his knees. Naruto and Hinata turned to each other.
"You think he's okay?"
"I-I think so" the blue-black haired girl replied. Akatsuchi released a sigh as he regulated his breathing and stood up.
"You guys weren't gonna leave without me were you?" Akatsuchi asked with a grin.
"W-Well you disappeared, so we d-didn't think you were coming" Hinata said. Akatsuchi smirked and draped his arms around the pre-teen.
"Well the more the merrier" Naruto grinned as he patted the older man's back. "Though...why? Aren't you gonna miss having fun hiking?"
"Oh please, and miss out on the fun YOU GUYS seem to have. Besides I can be useful and...I'd miss Hinata's great back massages" Akatsuchi said. Hinata was suddenly grabbed by Naruto held protectively as if she were a toy someone wouldn't share.
"Nuh uh, Hinata-chan's mine and her hands are to to only massage MY back" Naruto said. Hinata's face turned red at what Naruto said.
"I-I-I'm N-N-Naruto-kun's?" she blinked as the blood caused her brain to overheat and she fainted.
"AGH HINATA-CHAN!" Naruto said as he saw his travel companion fall unconscious in his arms. He shook the girl like a rag doll as her arms flailed about like a gasping Magikarp. One hand had extended and nailed Akatsuchi twice one the same cheek causing him to yelp in pain.
"ITAI!" the elder man screamed.
"Pfft, should have known the dobe was the cause for all this commotion" a deep voice said. Naruto, Akatsuchi and the two Pokemon turned to see the raven haired Uchiha standing with his newly evolved Croconaw and Sakura with her Chikorita resting atop her head.
"Sasuke-teme" the blonde growled. Croconaw snapped its jaws as it glared at Quilava who ignited its flames. The two rivals stared each other.
"You know, I caught some strong new Pokemon in Violet City. I bet I can wipe the floor with you" Sasuke smirked arrogantly.
"Yeah, show him Sasuke-kun" Sakura grinned. The Leaf Pokemon atop her head simply marveled at Azalea Town's scenery. Naruto turned to Hinata and gently shook her this time.
"Oi, Hinata-chan" the bluenette's eyes opened as she saw her crush looking down at her.
"N-Naruto-kun?" she asked as she stood back up.
"Yeah, umm we're gonna be having a slight setback on our way to Goldenrod" Naruto said. Hinata tilted her head in confusion before she looked at where Quilava and Eevee were staring. Her eyes widened when caught sight of Sasuke and Sakura.
"Oh...well j-just beat him quick and then w-we can be on our way" Hinata said. Sasuke scoffed at Hinata's remark.
"Please you really think the dobe can beat me?" Hinata nodded.
"He beat you b-back in Cherrygrove C-City" Hinata reminded the Uchiha. The boy stiffened slightly and gritted his teeth.
"That was luck"
"Yeah, that was luck" the sometimes annoying Sakura added.
"Let's see you back that up, teme" Naruto said as he and Quilava took a step forward.
"How's three on three sound?" Sasuke asked as he and Croconaw stared down their rivals. Naruto smirked and made a 'come' motion with his hand.
"Bring it" Akatsuchi took his place between the two trainers as the acting referee.
"Alright you two, I want a good, clean battle. No obstructions from the viewers" he looked at both Sakura and Hinata as they looked at their respective crushes. Chikorita and Eevee were busy sitting and watching the battle attentively. Sasuke and Naruto nodded as they each took out a Pokeball.
"Alright...HAIJIME!" Akatsuchi brought his hand down in a chopping motion.
"HERACROSS I CHOOSE YOU!"
"GO GASTLY!"
Both Pokemon appeared in flashes of white light from the red and white spheres. The Ghost type Pokemon was a relatively large black orb with two white eyes and dots for pupils. Its body was composed of a purple gas of some sort. The Ghost Pokemon seemed to put on an everlasting smile as it looked at the bug/fighting type.
"Heracross, Aerial Ace!" Naruto commanded. Heracross spread its wings and flew into the air. Peforming a loop-de-loop it built up speed and momentum before crashing into Gastly. The ghost type wailed in pain before its body began to glow with dark energy.
"Ghastly, counter with Night Shade!" Sasuke commanded. The blast of shadow rocketed from Ghastly's body slamming into Heracross at close range. The Horn Pokemon flipped in midair, skidding along the ground to stop itself.
"Now use Lick!" Gastly's long tongue extended from its spherical head towards Heracross.
"Heracross, dodge it and then strike back with Night Slash!" Naruto commanded. The bug type quickly rolled into a ball and rolled beneath the extremely long tongue. Once it reached beneath Gastly, Heracross' claws became coated with shadow and performed an uppercut. The powerful super effective move crashed into the ghost type sending it flying through the air.
"Gastly, quick hide underground!" Gastly nodded to its trainer and phased through the ground. Heracross and Naruto glared as they watched the ground.
"Kuso...its body is as light as air...we can't feel where it will come from" Naruto gritted his teeth as he tried to think of a way to counter act the ghost type.
"GAAAAASTLY!" the ghost type suddenly appeared beneath the dual type Pokemon and launched its tongue, wrapping it around Heracross. The tongue raised high into the air before slamming Heracross down on the ground and then smothering it with saliva. Heracross became paralyzed from the variation of a Lick attack.
"Heracross, quick get up. Use Aerial Ace!" Naruto commanded. The dual type got up to follow its trainer's command but suddenly froze up as the paralysis began to affect it. Naruto gritted his teeth as Gastly suddenly surrounded itself with dark energy.
"NIGHT SHADE!" Sasuke yelled. The blast of shadow crashed into Heracross sending the Horn Pokemon skidding backwards. Naruto cursed as his Pokemon was bombarded by repeated blasts of shadow energy from the Ghost type before getting an idea.
"Heracross, use Brick Break on the ground!" Heracross' arms glowed white and the bug/fighting Pokemon released cry as it smashed the earth. The earth broke apart as Heracross jumped across the ground and smashed the ground again. Once there were multiple holes in the ground, Heracross' arms stopped glowing.
"What's Naruto doing?" Sakura asked. Hinata shrugged at the pinkette's question.
"I-I really don't know" she replied. Naruto looked at the holes in the earth and nodded in satisfaction before looking back at the ground. Sasuke was still in confusion of his opponent's move, but continued.
"Gastly, finish this with one more Night Shade!" Sasuke yelled. Heracross was panting and that Night Shade would have really finished it off, but Naruto looked at the holes in the earth and smirked where he saw little purple vapours seeping through the cracks to Heracross' left.
"Heracross to the left, use Brick Break to smash the ground and then Night Slash!" Naruto commanded. Heracross nodded and went over to the cracked ground and broke a hole in it with Brick Break revealing the surprised Gastly as the ground broke apart. Then Heracross' other arm became coated in shadow and smashed down on the ghost type Pokemon.
"GAASTLY!" the specter cried out in pain. Heracross jumped into the ground and slammed another Night Slash into its opponent before performing an uppercut. The three hit combo sent Gastly soaring through the air before falling to the ground unconscious between the two trainers. Heracross panted as it smirked.
"HERACROOOOSS!" the bug type cried in victory.
"Winner, Heracross!" Akatsuchi cried out. Naruto cheered as he hugged his newest Pokemon.
"How did Naruto-kun know where Gastly was?" Hinata asked. Sakura surveyed the area and snapped her fingers in realization.
"Oh, I get. Naruto had used Brick Break to open the ground and since Gastly is in a gaseous state sometimes the gas would seep through the cracks thus allowing Naruto to find Gastly and win. Guess he's not that much of a baka after all" the pinkette complimented as she watched Naruto get wrestled to the ground by his Pokemon as it gave him a noogie.
"You got lucky" Sasuke growled as he returned Gastly to its ball. He attached the ball back to his belt and pulled out another Pokeball. "Let's see you take on this one. GO ZUBAT!"
"Heracross you still up for it?" Naruto asked. Heracross panted before overlooking itself. It was a bit damaged, but it felt like it still fight. Not wanting to disappoint its trainer Heracross gave a nod.
"Alright then, use Aerial Ace!" Heracross opened its wings and flew towards the bat.
"Zubat, use Supersonic!" Sasuke commanded. A blast of high frequency sound waves traversed the air, affecting Heracross causing it to pause just as it was finishing the loop-de-loop to gain momentum for Aerial Ace. Heracross began to fly around aimlessly.
"HERACROSS!" Naruto cried out to his Pokemon, but the Horn Pokemon fell to the ground.
"Zubat, finish it. Use Wing Attack!" Zubat performed the flying type move. A streak of colour appearing behind it as it flew towards the weakened Pokemon and crashed its wings against Heracross' face. Heracross was badly damaged by the super effective hit, especially since flying type move were super effective against both of Heracross' types. Heracross rolled along the ground before stopping.
"Hera...cross" the bug/fighting type fainted. Naruto frowned.
"Heracross is unable to battle, Zubat wins it" Akatsuchi announced.
"You did good, buddy. Take a rest" a red beam flew from Heracross' Pokeball and hit the Pokemon. Heracross vanished into its ball as Naruto returned it to his belt. Naruto looked over Zubat.
"Hmmm, a Flying type...sooo MAREEP I CHOOSE YOU!" the Wool Pokemon appeared out of its ball in a flash of light. Sasuke gritted his teeth.
'Kuso...if only I had a Ground type' the raven haired boy thought.
"Mareep let's end this quick, THUNDER WAVE!" Mareep released a cry as it launched a bolt of blue lightning from its body. The electricity arced through the air.
"Zubat, dodge and counter with Astonish!" Zubat nodded as it performed a barrel roll to avoid the attack before clapping its wings together. A loud clapping sound resounded through the air and as sound waves slammed into Mareep causing the electric type to flinch. Sasuke smirked.
"Now use Wing Attack!" Sasuke commanded his Pokemon. The bat Pokemon flew through the air and performed a wing strike ending Mareep skidding backwards.
"Mareep, you okay?" the Wool Pokemon shook its head as it got over the flinch and nodded, "MAAAA" it replied.
"Alright, use Tackle!" the sheep Pokemon launched itself at Zubat and scored a hit, discombobulating it.
"Quick Zubat, counter with Supersonic!" Sasuke yelled. Zubat's jaws released high frequency sound waves once more. Mareep turned and froze as the attack struck it. Mareep teetered from side to side as it was confused.
"Kuso, MAREEP SNAP OUT OF IT! Use Thundershock!" the electric Pokemon teetered around for a while before ramming its head into the ground thus hurting itself.
"Hahaha, your little Mareep is too confused to listen. Zubat, Bite attack!"
"ZUUUBAT!" the bat Pokemon cried out its name as it bared its fangs. It bit down on Mareep's wool and pierced through it, sinking the fangs into Mareep's neck and drew a bit of blood before it pulled away. Mareep released a cry of pain from the attack and the two holes in its neck leaked the red liquid.
"Mareep, come on snap out of it!" Naruto yelled. Mareep continued to teeter a bit, "USE THUNDERSHOCK!"
"MAREEEEEEEEP!" Mareep cried as it performed its attack. The bolt of blue lightning flew through the air towards the flying type Pokemon.
"Pfft, please, Zubat can easily dodge it" Sasuke said as he smirked at Naruto's 'stupidity'. Naruto smirked.
"You'd think so wouldn't you?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked surprised as he watched his Pokemon. Sparks of blue electrical charge surrounded its body.
"Don't tell me..."
"Yup, Mareep's Static ability finally, kicked in and now Zubat's down for the count!" Naruto said as he made a thumbs down gesture with his hands. Zubat screeched as it was blasted by the electrical attack sending it spiraling to the ground. Zubat had fainted.
"Looks like that's it for Zubat" Akatsuchi commented. Sasuke gritted his teeth as he returned Zubat to its Pokeball. Naruto returned Mareep to the Pokeball as well.
"Croconaw, let's go!" Sasuke said to his starter. Croconaw walked up to the battlefield and snapped its jaws ready to face its opponent. Naruto wondered for a while.
'Mareep would be perfect, but I want to keep it healthy just in case. Wooper has Water Absorb ability to counter the water moves, but it'll still be vulnerable to Bite attack and I haven't really trained it as it needs more experience. Pidgeotto?' Naruto thought for a while as he wondered whether or not his rival's starter has learned Ice Fang or not. It was a tough decision as Croconaw was Sasuke's strongest Pokemon and it could easily defeat his others and the only one strong enough to match it was...
Naruto sighed as he turned to his partner.
"You up for it, Quilava?" Naruto asked. Quilava's crimson eyes stared into Croconaw's own as its flames ignited.
"QUILAVA!" the Volcano Pokemon replied, ready to fight its rival Pokemon. Croconaw smirked as it made a come motion with its claws.
"N-N-Naruto-kun, what are you doing?" Hinata stuttered in surprise.
"Yeah Naruto-baka. Don't you know fire types are weak against water?" Sakura yelled. Naruto ignored the two girls as he turned to Akatsuchi.
"You sure about sending out Quilava?" the large Hiker asked. Naruto nodded in confirmation. Akatsuchi shrugged.
"Alright, you're the boss. Croconaw vs. Quilava" Akatscuhi threw down his arms, "HAIJIME!"
"QUILAVA USE QUICK ATTACK!" Naruto yelled. Quilava took off like a shot and slammed into Croconaw's stomach sending the Big Jaw Pokemon backwards. Croconaw grunted in pain, but stood firm.
"Alright, Croconaw use Water Gun!" Sasuke said.
"Quilava, counter with Ember!"
Both fire and water collided in midair, but the high pressure water overpowered the miniature fireballs turning them to steam.
"Quilava, duck quick!" the momentum of the water gun had slowed down due to its collision with the Ember and thus Quilava was able to to avoid the attack. However, just as the water ended Croconaw was suddenly in Quilava's face.
"Use Water Gun!" with no area to dodge, Quilava was struck by the powerful super effective move. Quilava was sent skidding backwards.
"Quilava Quick Attack!" Naruto commanded. Quilava quickly countered with a full body charged, slamming into the crocodile-like Pokemon. Quilava then vanished as it used its superior speed to perform a barrage of Quick Attacks. Croconaw snapped its jaws in anger before turning and firing a Water Gun.
"To you left!" Sasuke informed his Pokemon. The Big Jaw Pokemon turned to see Quilava running towards it and fired another Water Gun.
"Use your speed to swerve around it. THEN FLAME WHEEL IT!" Naruto commanded. Quilava nodded and then used the speed from its Quick Attack to veer to the left and then jumped. Its flames ignited and increased in size. Quilava rolled like a ball as it descended and the flames encased it in an orb of flame. The Flame Wheel struck home and sent Croconaw flying through the air at an angle.
"Flip to gain your footing, Croconaw" the Big Jaw Pokemon did as it was told and smirked as it landed on its feet. However, as it looked up it was bombarded with a storm of fireballs. Courtesy of Quilava's Ember attack. The water type was not hurt badly, but that wasn't the plan.
"Ember again!" Naruto yelled. The attack struck once more and Croconaw shrugged off the attack, albeit it was painful before opening its mouth.
"ICE FANG!" Sasuke yelled.
"W-Why use an Ice type move?" Hinata asked.
"I don't know, maybe he hopes to cool down Quilava's fire" Sakura shrugged. Quilava was bitten and gritted its teeth in pain as the sharp teeth of the Croconaw bit down on its left forelimb. Suddenly the wound was frozen after as the attack froze the entire limb.
"Right, now that you've slown down a bit, Croconaw..." however just as Sasuke was about to give a command, Croconaw burst into flames as the Burn status from the previous Ember attacks began to affect it.
"Awesome, my plan worked" Naruto cheered.
"Don't get so cocky, dobe!" Sasuke smirked, "USE WATER GUN!"
"DODGE AND USE FLAME WHEEL!" The Volcano Pokemon avoided the blow, mostly, as it was struck on its hind leg. Quilava panted as it was slightly exhausted, but powered through the pain as its body erupted into flames. The ice on its forelimb melted away and the fire type rolled along the ground and crashed into Croconaw.
"Now use Smokescreen to cover your tracks!" Naruto commanded. The black smoke erupted from Quilava's mouth after its collision with the water type, thus obstructing the Big Jaw Pokemon's view.
"Now Quick Attack!"
"We don't fall for the same trick twice" Sasuke announced as he remembered this same strategy from when he and Naruto first battled with their new starters. The Big Jaw Pokemon turned and slapped its tail in a 360 degree turn. The tail slapped Quilava's face sending it skidding through the smoke cloud. Croconaw and Quilava panted as they stared at one another, but Quilava flinched as it fell to the ground.
"Quil...ava" the Volcano Pokemon struggled to regain its footing, but fell back down.
"QUILAVA!" Naruto and Hinata cried out.
"EEVEE!" the Evolution Pokemon ran with its trainer towards the fire type. Sakura cheered for Sasuke.
"Yeah, alright Sasuke-kun!" the pinkette cried out. Sasuke smirked as he watched his water type.
"Good job" earning a thumbs up from the water type. Quilava's flames retracted as it was too weak to keep them active.
"Oi, dobe...up for round th..." Sasuke paused in his call as he watched Croconaw's tired form. The raven haired Uchiha's eyes seemed to soften.
Flashback
"Go Umbreon!" Sasuke yelled as he stood with the black Pokemon. The evolution of Eevee ran towards a wild Rattata and blurred from the rat Pokemon's view in a show of speed before slamming into it. The Rattata fainted as Sasuke cheered.
"Yeah, alright!" Sasuke cheered before spying another wild Pokemon. A lone Caterpie. "Look Umbreon, another one. How's about another round to make it an even ten?" the young eight year old asked. Umbreon panted before sitting and shaking its head.
"What, come on I'm your trainer. You have to listen to me!" Umbreon's crimson eyes turned on Sasuke and the young boy was frozen beneath the intensity of the glare.
"Sasuke...Sasuke!" a voice called out. Sasuke and Umbreon turned before a figure walked out of the tall grass. "Sasuke, have you seen...oh there you are?"
Sasuke looked at the boy. He was at least thirteen years old and had long black hair held back by a pony tail. He wore a black, high collared t-shirt with the image of the Uchiha fan on the back and a pair of short pants that extended just past his knees. A pair of socks and dark blue shoes completed the image.
"Itachi nii-san, Umbreon won't listen to me!" as he saw Umbreon run back to its ORIGINAL trainer. Itachi looked over his Pokemon and shook his head.
"Sasuke, were you and Umbreon having a little training?" the older Uchiha asked. Sasuke nodded with a grin.
"Yup, we won nine battles in a row, but now Umbreon won't listen me" Sasuke frowned. Itachi sighed as he waved Sasuke over. The younger boy smiled as he ran over to his brother only to be greeted by the harsh poke to his forehead.
"Itai" the cry earned a smile from both the older boy and the Pokemon.
"Listen to me Sasuke" Itachi said in a serious tone, "You must not overwork your Pokemon. They will not like you after that. I know you will grow to be a strong trainer with strong Pokemon, but if you work your Pokemon too hard they will stop listening to you. Alright?"
"Okay, Itachi nii-san" Sasuke nodded before grabbing his older brother's hand. "Nii-san, can you show me how to throw a Pokeball properly again?"
"Hahaha...maybe later"
End Flashback
Sasuke sighed at the memory as he saw Croconaw panting hard.
"We'll call it a draw" Sasuke said without emotion. Naruto looked up at that.
"Huh?" the blonde asked.
"Yeah, Croconaw wouldn't be wasting its time fighting your Mareep knowing it would beat it...that and it's pretty worn out just like your Pokemon. It's a draw" Sasuke said as he and Croconaw headed to the Pokemon Center. Naruto blinked as he and Quilava looked at each other before running after Sasuke towards the Pokemon Center.
"So that makes 1 win, and 1 draw" Naruto said before grinning, "You have 1 loss and 1 draw. I'm better than you"
Sasuke scoffed, "Shut up, dobe"
After the two healed their Pokemon, Sasuke and Sakura headed towards the passage leading outside of Azalea.
"Bye Hinata. Naruto, don't be too much of a baka" Naruto sweat dropped at that and waved goodbye to his friend, he had really taken her words to heart during the Violet City contest and now only saw her as a friend. Once the two trainers left, Akatsuchi, Hinata and Naruto turned to see Kurt walking out of his house.
"Oi, what was all that racket...oh it was you, gaki" the Pokeball maker waved the boy over. Naruto and his friends walked over and saw Kurt open the door.
"Hold on a second there" the old man said as he walked over to a small table. Kurt then took up something from the table. Naruto, Akatsuchi and Hinata looked as Kurt revealed three different Pokeballs within his hands. One was a ball with the top half coloured pink and had a dark pink heart outlined in silver imprinted on the ball. The second one was like a regular Pokeball, red and white, only on either side on it were two yellow circles and in the middle of the red half was a yellow pattern that looked similar to a lightning bolt. The third ball was a larger Pokeball, with its top half being a dark grey colour. There were four orbs of some kind embedded into it, two of them being larger than the other two.
"These are the Pokeballs I made for you all using the Apricorns you guys gave me. The pink one is called the Love Ball which is good for catching Pokemon which are of the opposite gender to the Pokemon you are using to battle the wild Pokemon. This yellow patterned one is called the Fast Ball which is used to catch Pokemon that rather fast such as Dodrio, Doduo and Yanma. The grey one is a Heavy Ball which is used to catch heavy weight Pokemon like Gyarados and Graveler" Kurt explained.
"I'll take the Love Ball" Hinata said.
"Fast for me" Naruto said.
"Guess that leaves me with the Heavy ball" Akatsuchi said as he put away the large Pokeball in his bag like his friends. Kurt nodded before walking away and walking back into his house.
"If you ever need me to make another Pokeball, you know where to find me" Kurt said.
"Arigato Kurt-Jiji" Naruto bowed before he was hit on the head.
"I'M NOT OLD!" Kurt yelled as he huffed and walked back into the small house. The three then headed through the passage and left.
Illex Forest
The group observed the area as they crossed over into what seemed to be a deeply forested area.
"Hey, Hinata-chan...where are we?" Naruto asked. Hinata pulled out her map and looked over it as she looked near the area showing Azalea Town.
"Hmmm...i-it seems we're in the I-Ilex Forest. O-Once we get out of here, we'll be on Route 34" Hinata informed the blonde. Akatsuchi nodded before seeing something speeding through the grass.
"Hmmm, did you guys see that?" the large man asked. Naruto and Hinata turned.
"See what?" the black blur suddenly raced in front of them causing Naruto and Hinata to grip each other in fright.
"Eeek" Naruto and Hinata squeaked. Hinata blushed as she realized how close she was to the blonde. The blur suddenly stopped running before turning and facing them. It looked like a brown and white feathered duck of some kind, only much taller. In its wing was a white reed that was tipped green.
"Farfetch'd" the Pokemon squawked before running away. A panting sound was heard behind everyone as they saw a man dressed in a fighting gi like what one wears when they do karate, except it was all black. Though from the soot that was already covering his face and hands or whether that was the clothing's natural colour, the three trainers couldn't tell.
*Pant* *Wheeze* "Oh fuck. Damn that Farfetch'd, only running away" the man cursed.
"E-Excuse me w-was that your Farfetch'd?" Hinata asked. The man nodded.
"Hai. By the way name's Sumi, I'm the Charcoal Maker in Azalea Town" Sumi said as he took a cloth from his pocket and wiped his face.
"So Sumi..."Akatsuchi started, "Why is your Farfecth'd only running away?"
"Because it's so god damn lazy" Sumi huffed, "Damn bird"
"We'll help you catch it if you want" Naruto suggested. Sumi looked confused.
"Really?" the trio, Quilava and Eevee nodded. "Arigato, now just a little heads up. Be sure to sneak up BEHIND Farfetch'd. Once it sees you it would start running like a mad Tauros"
"Hai" the three replied. The three trainers and two Pokemon headed off in the direction Farfetch'd went. They then paused, hiding behind a tree, as they spotted the reed carrying Pokemon.
"Alright, Quilava and Naruto will go and sneak up behind it. If it sees them, me, Eevee and Hinata...you guys circle around as this area of the forest seems to be a bit enclosed, so you'll be able to head it off" Akatsuchi explained. The two pre-teens and their Pokemon nodded as they put the plan into motion. The blonde and his starter carefully tip toed towards the Pokemon.
'That's it...nice and slow' Naruto thought, 'Keep poking the ground with your little stick...GOTCHA!'
Naruto and Quilava leaped, but Farfetch'd spun and raised it reed and whacked both trainer and Pokemon in their faces with a dreaded Fury Attack before running off.
"AKATSUCHI, HINATA-CHAN IT'S COMING YOUR WAY!" Naruto called out to his friends. The two other trainers nodded.
"Alright, Hinata slow it down with Eevee" Akatsuchi said as he threw out a Pokeball. "Come on Geodude!"
The floating Rock Pokemon clenched its fists as it released a cry of "Geodude"
"Alright, Geodude I need you to use your arms to hold down that Farfetch'd if it gets passed Eevee and Hinata" Akatsuchi informed his Pokemon. The floating imperfect sphere with arms nodded as it turned its eyes onto the squawking Farfetch'd.
"EEVEE QUICK, USE SAND ATTACK TO BLIND IT!" Eevee swept up the dirt on the ground and kicked up a large amount of dust, blinding the bird Pokemon. But Farfetch'd jumped and flapped its wings. The truth was Farfetch'd could fly...it's just that they can't fly WELL. As a result, the bird Pokemon came crashing to the ground before it was enveloped in a bear hug by Geodude.
"FAR FARFETCH'D FAR FAR!" the Reed Pokemon pecked at the rock type, but it did no damage due to Geodude's tough exterior. The rock type levitated towards Sumi, Farfetch'd in hand along with the other trainers, Quilava and Eevee. Sumi thanked the three and then reached into his pocket.
"Here, I only have one right now, but as thanks for getting me Farfetch'd I have a piece of Charcoal for you. It's a Hold Item to be used by Fire types as it increases the strength of all fire type moves of the holder" Sumi explained as he handed it to Naruto. The Charcoal was a black piece of rock and Naruto handed it to the Volcano Pokemon. Quilava sniffed the charcoal briquette before sneezing.
"So how exactly, does this charcoal thing work? Does Quilava eat it or..." Sumi thought for a while.
"Nah I don't think so. From what I've heard, when the Charcoal is worn, the charcoal dust is spread over the Pokemon's skin and then seeps through its pores and goes through the capillaries and flows through the bloodstream where the blood cells excrete the dust as excreted food in the Pokemon's stomach. This dust is then transferred from the stomach to the area of the Pokemon where its fire is produced" Sumi explained, "Of course, it's a natural process for fire type Pokemon I guess cause I haven't it happen to any other types"
Naruto nodded as he looked at the Charcoal, hanging by a tough leather cord. Naruto placed the makeshift necklace around his partner's neck and smirked.
"It suits you" he compliment causing Quilava to smile.
"Oh and almost forgot!" Sumi reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small disc. Hinata took it and read the engraving on it. HM 01: Cut.
"A Hidden Move disc?" Hinata exclaimed.
"Yeah that's Cut, it's a move used to chop down small tress like that one over there" Sumi said as he pointed over to the small tree in front of them. "An old buddy of mine knew the captain of the S.S Anne in Vermilion City who owned this HM, After he taught it to his Pokemon he gave it to me" Sumi said as he grabbed Farfetch'd who had given up on running. After all this was it's 134th time being caught.
"See ya" Sumi waved goodbye to the three trainers before walking off with the flying type. Hinata looked at the HM in her hand before going through her team as she wondered which Pokemon to teach the move to. She took out a Pokeball and opened it. Out came Sentret in a flash of white light.
"Sentret?" the Scout Pokemon looked around before looking up at its trainer, "Sentret" the Pokemon waved. Hinata smiled and held up the disc and placed it in the Pokedex's built it disc drive. Once the disc drive was closed, the Pokedex spoke.
You would like to use the Move Cut? Hinata clicked the Yes option that appeared on the screen using the directional pad.
Pokemon have the memory capacity to know only four moves. Choose a move you would like Sentret to forget for Cut
Sentret's current attacks were Scratch, Fury Swipes, Quick Attack and Defense Curl. Hinata thought for a while before removing Scratch from her Pokemon's move list. The Pokedex beeped and then released a blue beam that delved deep into the memory area of the brain where Pokemon stored their battle moves. The beam removed Foresight from the memory cells and replaced it with the ability for Sentret to use the HM.
"Alright, Sentret, use Cut on that small tree over there" Hinata pointed at the little tree blocking the path up ahead. Sentret nodded before rushing towards the tree and jumped. Its paws suddenly glowed as its claws appeared and they lengthened. The sharp claws slashed straight through the tree like it were paper and the small piece of greenery fell to the ground as timber.
"Sentret" the Normal type smiled at its accomplishment before turning to its trainer. Hinata nodded in acknowledgement.
"N-Nice job, return" she said as the Pokeball released a red beam that sent the small Pokemon back to its ball. The group walked through the space in the trees, but stopped suddenly when they saw a small little house made of wood. It was white on the bottom with two small wooden doors with a red roof of red tiles that looked like an old Japanese dojo building only much, much smaller.
"What's this?" Naruto asked. Hinata went into her bag and took out the guide book before going through the section of Illex Forest. As she was looking through the page there was a shining green light behind them. Quilava and Eevee noticed the light as their trainers and Akatsuchi were looking at the guide book. Quilava and Eevee looked at each other and then back at where the light was coming from before it died down.
"Quil Quilava!" the Volcano Pokemon called out, tugging at its trainer's pant leg.
"Not now Quilava" Naruto grumbled causing Quilava to narrow its eyes before plopping down on the grass with Eevee. Suddenly a small fairy like creature, a Pokemon most likely, floated above their heads. Its head was shaped like a bulb, light green with a dark green tip. Its body was entirely green, the light green colour like its head, extended down to its chest and arms; while from the middle of its chest down to its legs, it was a dark green colour. Deep blue eyes observed the humans as the Pokemon fluttered its wings to remain airborne. Quilava and Eevee looked up at their trainers, but their eyes widened in shock as they saw the small green Pokemon.
"Bi Biiii" the small little Pokemon whispered causing everyone to jump in surprise. They looked up, but they saw nothing.
"D-Did anyone else here that?" Naruto asked. Hinata, Akatsuchi, Quilava and Eevee all nodded.
"Think it was a ghost?" Akatsuchi asked. Naruto immediately cowered behind Hinata.
"A g-g-g-ghost" he stuttered. Hinata looked around before declaring there was nothing there.
"A-Anyways, this appears to be the I-Illex Shrine. A small shrine built to worship a Pokemon said to be able to travel through t-time stream known as..."
"Celebi" everyone looked up from the guide book and looked to see two girls wearing matching red kimono dresses, but with different patterns. The dresses were patterned with the images of the sky and sea. The girl wearing a dress with the sky pattern had an image of a golden bird that was flying through the clouds and the gril who wore the kimono with the pattern of the sea, there was the image of a silver coloured vulture looking creature. The two creatures looked very majestic.
"Wh-Who are y-you?" Hinata asked. The kimono girls bowed.
"We are just wanderers who walks through the Johto region. We are also looking for our lost sisters, there are ten of us and we were all separated from each other in our travels during a storm" one kimono girl said.
"So what's this talk about a Celebye?" Naruto asked. The two older women chuckled at the blonde's mispronunciation.
"We will tell you, if you help out of this forest" the two women said. The group nodded and walked through the forest. The forest was rather small and there was a cleared path that led towards the exit. Along the way Naruto picked up a few items such as a Revive, which would become useful in his battles, a Potion and a lost TM 12: Taunt. Hinata had also used her Old Rod to fish in the small pond and managed to catch a Poliwag to register its information in the Pokedex as the Pokeball was transported to Professor Iruka's lab where it would be released into his large backyard until it was to be called upon.
Poliwag the Tadpole Pokemon. A Water type Pokemon. The direction of its belly spiral differs by area. The equator is thought to have an effect on this.
After about half an hour later, as the trainers had stopped for a while to battle the wild Pokemon in the forest, they found their way out of the forest. The two kimono girls thanked the three trainers.
"Domo Arigato" they said with simultaneous bows.
"Yes, so don't forget your part of the deal" Akatsuchi said. The two crimson kimono clad girls nodded.
"Hai, well Celebi, not Celebye..." the first kimono girl began, giggling as she recalled Naruto's word for Celebi, causing Naruto to scratch the back of his head in embarrassment. "It is the Pokemon that watches over the time stream. It guards this forest and leads those who it deems worthy through the time stream to see a glimpse of their distant future"
"Of course it is a legendary Pokemon for a reason. It is rarely seen and some have claimed to have seen the time traveling Pokemon, but of course no one believed them" the other kimono girl said.
"W-Wow" Hinata gaped.
"I'll say...a Pokemon that can travel through time. That's frickin' unreal" Akatsuchi added. The group exited through the passage to Route 34.
Route 34
"Arigato for your help" the first kimono girl said. Then she and her sister walked away. Naruto and Hinata looked up the road and smirked as they saw the towering buildings of Goldenrod City's skyscrapers.
"We're almost there, just up this Route" Akatsuchi said.
"Yup, and then it'll be time to start my next gym battle" Naruto whooped.
"A-And my next contest" Hinata twiddled her fingers nervously at the prospect of going up in another contest. Suddenly a voice appeared behind the trio and their Pokemon.
"So you're a trainer aiming for the Pokemon League, huh?"
"AAAAAHHHH!" the trio and the two Pokemon yelled in surprise causing the owner of the new voice to go flying back, anime style, from the volume.
"Did you guys have to scream so loudly?" the man asked as he rose up from his spot on the ground. The two novice trainers and Hiker turned to see a tall man, around six feet in height rise up from the ground. He had a mop of gravity defying, silver hair and wore a dark blue band of some sort that was tilted at angle so it covered his left eye. He wore a long sleeved, navy blue turtleneck with a matching pair of pants. He wore a large green vest which had many pockets over the shirt and wore a pair of black sneakers. And the strangest part of this man's outfit...was the weird mask he wore to cover the lower half of his face that seemed to extend upwards from the neck of his turtleneck.
"Who are you?"
"Who me?" the man asked. Naruto sweat dropped.
"No, the Gengar floating behind you" Naruto drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Besides what the hell is wrong with you, sneaking up on people you don't even know!" The silver haired man chuckled nervously.
"Sorry, I was interested when you said you were going to challenge the League" the silver haired man said. Naruto grinned his trademark foxy grin.
"Hell yeah and I'm gonna win it too. Me and Quilava are gonna defeat every trainer we face, we haven't even lost yet. The closest we came to losing was when we were fighting Sasuke, but it came out as a draw" Naruto said. The man nodded as he scratched his head and took out a small orange book. Akatsuchi's eyes widened.
"Where did you get that?" he asked. The man looked up from the book and pointed at it.
"Oh this, I got it from a book store. I love the Icha Icha series"
"Me too, I have all the first three volumes" the man and Akatsuchi suddenly began chatting about the weird little orange book...or at least that's what the Uzumaki and Hyuga had dubbed the piece of literature.
"Anyways..." the man said as he ended the short talk with the Hiker, "Name's Kakashi Hatake. So how's about a battle against the future Champion of Johto?"
Naruto grinned as he looked at Quilava. The Volcano Pokemon's eyes burned with battle lust. Kakashi then looked at Hinata and saw her Eevee jumping up and down.
"Actually, how's about a double battle. One of MY Pokemon, versus your Quilava and the girl's Eevee" Kakashi said. Naruto looked at Hinata for confirmation. The pale eyed girl thought about it, but nodded when she saw how hyper her partner Pokemon was.
"Alright, let's go" Kakashi said as he threw a Pokeball into the air. In a flash of white light, the Pokeball opened and released the Pokemon. It looked like a large black dog with an orange muzzle. It had three arcs of what looked like bone placed across its back. Two curved horns protruded out of its skull and its crimson eyes shone in its sockets. Its long tail, tipped with what looked like an arrow head shape, swished behind it.
"Houndoom, take it easy on them" Kakashi said as he began to read his book. The demon hound-like Pokemon barked in response before rising to its full height. Naruto and Hinata looked over the Pokemon.
'Houndoom. Dark/Fire type Pokemon. Abilities are Early Bird which allows it to wake up quickly when it falls asleep and Flash Fire thus it nullifies my fire type moves' Naruto gritted his teeth. Why did so many Pokemon have to know Flash Fire...though he probably forgot he only faced one. That one being Akamaru, Kiba's Growlithe.
"Nasty Plot" Kakashi said. Houndoom suddenly gained a calculating look and a large grin spread across its face.
"Quilava, Quick Attack!" Naruto commanded. The Volcano Pokemon rushed the dual type Pokemon, but the horned canine released a torrent of flames from its jaws. The Flamethrower attack crashed into Quilava, sending it back. Luckily, due to Quilava's non-flammable fur, Quilava didn't sustain much damage.
"Eevee use Sand Attack to blind it, then use Quick Attack!" Hinata commanded. The Normal type swiped its tail against the dust causing the sand to rise up and get in Houndoom's eyes. The canine blinked and rubbed its eyes with its paws before it was suddenly hit in the face from the Evolution Pokemon's ramming into it.
"Quilava, use Quick Attack too!" Naruto commanded. It was his only available, non-fire type move besides Smokescreen and that wouldn't have done much. The Volcano Pokemon raced towards the Houndoom and slammed into its side.
"Flamethrower" Kakashi said lazily. The hound glared at its trainer as if saying 'lazy ass bastard, can't even look up from his porn to watch the gakis' before turning back and releasing the torrent of flames from its jaws. The attack raced towards the two Pokemon, but Quilava quickly tucked into a ball. Flames ignited.
"Use Flame Wheel to take on the fire" Naruto said. Quilava began to roll like a ball as it was encased in fire. The Volcano Pokemon crashed into the more powerful fire type move and began to push back as the Flamethrower added to that of the Flame Wheel's. Eevee then rushed towards Houndoom as its partner held off the flamethrower.
"Eevee, TACKLE!"
"VEEEE!" the Evolution Pokemon rushed towards the dark type and jumped into the air for an aerial strike. However, as Eevee jumped into the air and slammed against Houndoom's body. The larger Pokemon, however, shrugged off the attack by ending the flamethrower and striking with its left paw. Eevee was sent flying back, but flipped in midair to land on its feet. Quilava, whose force of resistance had ended, raced towards Houndoom as it still had its Flame Wheel active.
"Quilava, stop!" Naruto called out. The Pokemon continued to roll however and crashed into Houndoom. The Flash Fire ability suddenly came to life and Quilava's flames were absorbed into Houndoom's body.
"Alright Houndoom, Dark Pulse!" Kakashi said as he closed his book. Houndoom nodded and released a howl. Dark energy built up in its jaws before being released as a large wave of darkness. Quilava and Eevee were struck by the powerful attack and sent flying.
"Th-That Dark Pulse...w-w-was so strong" Hinata marveled at the canine Pokemon. Quilava and Eevee gritted their teeth as they tried to stand, but failed.
"Not bad. Blondie...keep notice of the consequences of your moves. You forgot that once the force of flamethrower stopped created a resisting force, that Quilava's Flame Wheel would begin to move too fast for it to stop. Also this left you and your partner wide open for a counter attack so try to come up with counter strategies once your original ones don't work out. And you, pale eyes...same thing goes for you, try to come up with counters for your Eevee to use. Also Eevee could use some work in terms of technique. It's too slow at this stage so make sure it evolves into something that will be useful for your team. You guys got heart, and you have tactic. Both are good qualities in a trainer, but remember that you need to be careful of how you plan things out in a battle...in some cases, a good plan can be the difference between life and death" Kakashi touched his covered eye before returning Houndoom to its Pokeball.
Kakashi then began to walk off and Naruto and Hinata stood there looking at their downed Pokemon.
"Remember to look underneath the underneath" Kakashi said as he walked off.
"Kuso" the blonde cursed as he punched the ground and glared at the retreating back of the silver haired man.
"Come on you two, we'll rest up at the Goldenrod City Pokemon Center once we get there" Akatsuchi advised. Naruto and Hinata didn't answer, but nodded as they rose they sprayed their Pokemon with a few Potions to heal them.
"I...I can't believe we lost" Naruto said.
"Naruto, you're a strong trainer...but remember you're still young. You have a lot to learn and also you're not invincible. There will be times where you will lose so don't take it too hard" Akatsuchi said. Naruto nodded as he and Hinata walked off with Quilava and Eevee. Akatsuchi sighed as he looked off to the east.
'I wonder if Onoki saw me like this when I was young?' the Hiker asked himself as he remembered his old mentor. Once the trio walked for a few more miles they came to the front of a small house. In front of the house was a large sign saying, 'POKEMON DAYCARE. WE TAKE CARE OF YOUR POKEMON AND MAKE THEM STRONGER..for a price' the last three words were in fine print. Naruto and Hinata looked at the image of the Pokemon egg as the Daycare's mascot and were about to continue onward when they felt their backpack's jump.
"Huh?" the two novice trainers looked confused as they felt their backpacks jump again.
"Akatsuchi...is it just me or does my bag look like it's jumping?" Naruto asked the red clad Hiker. The large male nodded.
"Yeah...I think so" Akatsuchi said. Naruto and Hinata's eyes widened as they opened their backpacks. Eevee, Quilava and Akatsuchi gathered around the two trainers as they pulled out the Pokemon eggs they had each gotten from Professor Iruka.
"N-N-Naruto-kun, I-I think they're..."
"They're hatching" Naruto said with glee as he and Hinata opened the cylindrical cases for their Pokemon eggs. They held their eggs as they continued to jump and suddenly their shells burst open at the top. The shell pieces falling to earth like leaves in the wind.
Hinata's Pokemon was a small egg like Pokemon. It had cream coloured skin as its head was similar to that of a spikes egg shell's. Also it seemed the Pokemon could retract its body and form an egg shape as that was how it had looked before it had spread its limbs. Its entire body, minus its head, hands and feet were coloured the same way as the egg it was it. A darker cream colour with red and blue triangular shaped markings all over it. Its dark black eyes blinked before the baby Pokemon looked up at Hinata.
"TOGEPRRRIIIIII!" the small egg Pokemon released its cry with glee. Hinata took out her lavender coloured Pokedex as it beeped.
Togepi the Spike Ball Pokemon. A Normal type Pokemon. The shell seems to be filled with joy. It is said that it will share good luck when treated kindly.
The Togepi was a male shown to be at level 5 with its known attacks being only Charm and Growl.
Naruto's Pokemon had slithered its way out of the egg shell and snaked its way around his arm before resting its large head on the boy's shoulder. The Pokemon was rather long for a baby Pokemon. Its body was a pale blue with a white underbelly. It had a large, white, oval shaped nose and a single white dot in the center of its forehead. Two white fins of some sort grew out from the sides of its head and looked like they were wings as the Pokemon flapped them. Its deep brown eyes blinked as it stared at the blonde's sapphire orbs.
"DRAAAAAATINI!" the Pokemon squealed as it nuzzled Naruto. The blonde chuckled as he heard his Pokedex beep. He withdrew his bright orange Pokedex and reviewed the information on it.
Dratini the Dragon Pokemon. A Dragon type Pokemon. Naruto rolled his eyes, 'No duh it's dragon type if it's called the Dragon Pokemon'. It is born large to start with. It repeatedly sheds its skin as it steadily grows longer.
Dratini was also shown to be a male at level 5 upon the Pokedex's scan of it. Its known attack were Wrap and Twister.
Naruto and Hinata looked at their new baby Pokemon before Naruto whipped out his Pokegear and dialed Professor Iruka's number. He put the Pokegear on speaker mode as the young, scar nosed professor answered.
"Hello, Professor Iruka Umino speaking"
"Professor, it's me Naruto!" the blonde yelled.
"I'm here too, Professor" Hinata notified the man. Iruka chuckled at the two.
"Hey you two, nice to hear from you again. What's with the all excitement? Did Naruto finally stop eating ramen?" Iruka asked causing Naruto to gasp.
"I am hurt, Professor. To think you would think such a thing" the blonde said causing those hearing it to laugh.
"So what did you call me for?" Iruka asked.
"Oh, right..Professor our eggs hatched. I got a Pokemon called Dratini and Hinata-chan got some weird looking egg thing"
"It's called Togepi, Naruto-kun" Hinata giggled.
"Ah, well done you two. I knew I could have counted on you two to hatch those eggs and it only took you guys nearly a week" Iruka smiled from his end of the Pokegear. "Well, since Dratini and Togepi aren't in Pokeballs I cannot receive them, but unless you guys want to keep them for your journeys that is quite fine with me, but just remember to send me a Pokemon so that you only have six Pokemon on your person"
"Alright professor, ja ne" they said.
"Ja ne, oh and Hinata good job on the stuttering thing. I can finally understand you" Iruka joked causing Naruto, Akatsuchi, Quilava and Eevee to snicker as Hinata blushed.
"A-A-Arigato" she stuttered. Iruka then hung up and Naruto put away his dark blue Pokegear in his vest pocket.
"YATTA!" Naruto cheered as he hugged his snuggling baby dragon type. "With Dratini on my team, nothing's gonna stop us from winning the Silver Conference"
"Yeah, but Naruto remember...it's just a baby" Akatsuchi reminded the blonde. Naruto smirked.
"So what, Dratini's strong already. Isn't that wight wittle Dwatini" Naruto coddled the little thing causing it to release a cry "Draaaaa" in response to its 'parent'.
"Togi togi togiprrrriiii" Togepi waved to Dratini who waved back with its tail.
"Quil Quilava Lava"
"Eeeveeeeee"
"Oh you guys wanna see them too?" after a bit of playing with the new baby Pokemon, the two pre-teens, their starters and their newest team members headed off towards Goldenrod City and to Naruto's next gym battle and Hinata's next contest.
"GUYS WAIT UP!" Akatsuchi cried out, "GUUUUYYYSSSSS!"

Character bio: Hinata Hyuga
Eye colour: A pale purple that seems to be colourless
Hair colour: Mixture of blue and black
About: Hinata was born in Saffron City with her father, Hiashi Hyuga, the gym leader of the Saffron City gym. Her mother was a doctor at the Saffron City Pokemon Center and taught Hinata a few things about healing. Hinata was loved by both her parents, however, due to Hiashi's spending so much time at the gym and her mother having to take care of Pokemon at the center as well as her younger sister, Hanabi, Hinata became neglected. One day during an unexpected training session to battle with Pokemon by her father, Hinata was looked down upon by her seeming failure at being able to battle when Hiashi wanted her to become his successor to the gym. Hinata was a gifted battler in reality, but she didn't want to be the gym leader as she felt she couldn't handle the responsibility and instead held back her true potential in battle. After being told this, Hiashi had sent his daughter to Johto to go live with his brother and nephew, Hizashi and Neji, in New Bark, but they moved to Ecruteak City due to Neji wanting to learn how to handle Ghost types. Hinata had stayed behind with Hizashi's wife, her aunt, to complete her education at Professor Iruka's lab.
