Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and I don't own Pokemon. I do however, own this laptop and this story and NONE OF YOU CAN HAVE IT! :)
A/N:You can guess what this chapter's about from the title. Hope you guys like it. NOW ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Note: My story, Legend of the Wolf and the Fox:Twilight Princess is story that I had put on hold for a while and continued when I got back to it, however...I have lost my imaginative spark for the story. It's just not there anymore so I will either be putting it up for adoption or will be all out deleting it. Hopefully the former will be possible, but the latter seems more likely. Sorry to those of you who read that story, but I just can't write it anymore especially with Dragonslayer and this story going so well.
Also a suggestion from a reader. He suggested to put Akatsuchi, Sakura and Sasuke's teams below as well where I have Naruto and Hinata's team which I will do. I will also be showing Sasuke's current team. Hope you guys approve of them. Also the Pokemon that Sakura and Sasuke have will also be counted towards the Pokemon Seen and Caught at the end of the chapters.
Thanks to MasamuneX23 for giving me ideas as to how the Pokemon can be trained.
It had been one day since ROOT HQ had been demolished in Mahogany Town. All seemed peaceful in the small town, however the fun was not over, for you see...ROOT was about to launch its plan to try and get their former leader, Danzo Shimura, to return to ROOT as its leader once more. As a result of this, Izuna Uchiha, Sasuke's oldest living cousin and the current Pokemon League Champion of the Johto-Kanto Continent, has ordered Haku to train Naruto, Sasuke and the others for battle before heading off to report to the Pokemon League Association about ROOT's current status.
Also, Naruto's leg, which wasn't broken all that badly, but rather had just a few small, yet painful, fractures was rapidly recovering. Nurse Shizune had reported that his leg would be fine in two more days if he doesn't put too much pressure on the leg.
"So, Haku-san when are we going to start training?" Naruto said as he walked along next to the older girl, using his crutches for support. Hinata was next to him in case he needed help to stabilize himself should he nearly fall, which was a situation that happened quite frequently.
"Well seeing as you are much more vibrant today, we will begin your training today." Sasuke stared at the girl with Feraligatr standing behind him.
"What will you be teaching us? Although I doubt there is much you can teach an Uchiha." Sasuke said with a confident smirk.
"Sasuke-kun, she's a gym leader!"
"So, dobe and I have beaten six of them. There's no way she'd be strong enough to fight us."
"You are just like Izuna-sama when I first fought him."
"And you lost, right?" Akatsuchi asked. Haku shrugged.
"Yes, I did...but I managed to take down three of his Pokemon before he conquered me with his Charizard. Though my Pokemon are of an Ice type, I managed to fight off Charizard for a good while." Haku admitted. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"Impossible!" He shouted. "Izuna is one of the strongest Uchihas out there, he can't have been fought to such a degree." Haku smirked and took out a Pokeball before opening it to reveal her Delibird.
"Care to go for a little test run, Uchiha?" Naruto looked at Sasuke with a smirk.
"I wouldn't if I were you, teme. Like you said, know your limits." The raven haired boy scowled as his own advice was used on him.
"I know my limits, dobe. I know I can beat this girl." Naruto shrugged.
"Suit yourself, but know that I'm gonna rub it in your face when you lose."
"Naruto-kun has a point, Sasuke." Hinata added. "Haku-san is said to be the most powerful gym leader. Second only to the one from Blackthorn City where the Uchiha family is said to have been founded. True your family hails from Blackthorn, but that doesn't mean you can win through just by the fact your name is Uchiha."
Sasuke snarled at the pale eyed girl who remained impassive at his gaze. Sasuke took out a Pokeball.
"We'll see about that."
Lake of Rage
Haku and Sasuke faced off against one another. The weather had cleared up and revealed the blue sky and white puffy clouds floating lazily through the expanse of blue which was a stark contrast to the tension between the gym leader and her current challenger. The sky no longer suffered from harsh rainy weather due to the fact that it was due to ROOT's electromagnetic wave machine that had been used to make the Red Gyarados. The Red Gyarados, upon it's recent disappearance, had been releasing the very same electromagnetic waves and thus it caused the weather to remain as a storm, but with it gone, the weather returned to that of a calm sunny day's.
"PONYTA GO!" Sasuke yelled as he threw a Pokeball.
Ponyta the Fire Horse Pokemon. A Fire type Pokemon. It is a weak runner immediately after birth. It gradually becomes faster by chasing after its parents.
"A Ponyta? Oi teme when did you have that?"
"How do you think I caught up to you so quickly, dobe?" Sasuke smirked at his rival. The blonde Uzumaki could only blink as he couldn't voice a response.
"You have one more chance, Uchiha...back out now before I take down your Ponyta." Haku warned her opponent. Delibird bounced around the area, holding its sack at the ready. Sasuke and Ponyta stared at the ice type trainer and Pokemon.
"PONYTA USE AGILITY AND THEN FIRE SPIN!" Ponyta stamped its feet on the ground before its powerful leg muscles tensed.
"TA!" The Fire Horse Pokemon cried out before taking off in a burst of speed before running circles, literally, around Delibird before stopping just behind the Ice type. Ponyta's mouth opened before a spiral shaped flames flew towards the Delibird.
"Delibird, Blizzard." Haku stated. Delibird nodded, eyes becoming fierce and without even turning back to face the flames that aimed to burn it, it released a freezing wind from out of nowhere. Then, to everyone's surprise, the Fire Spin...froze.
"WHAT?" Everyone gaped in shock at the spectacle.
"Impossible, you froze Fire Spin?" Sasuke exclaimed. Haku remained stoic before looking at the Fire Horse who was in just as much shock as any other person present.
"My Ice type Pokemon have been trained to the limits of their powers. There is nothing they cannot handle. How do you think I lasted so long against Izuna-sama?" Haku said. Sasuke gritted his teeth.
"YOU LIE! PONYTA FIRE BLAST!" Ponyta reared its head back, Delibird jumping back to gain some distance as the fire type launched the powerful, star-shaped move.
"Delibird, Water Pulse." Delibird opened its beak and a ball of water flew towards the water type with unbelievable speeds.
"Ponyta, use Agility to dodge!" Sasuke commanded. Ponyta rushed forth, moving to the left to avoid the water move and continued its charge only for a second Water Pulse to appear in its path and engulfing it in water. Ponyta let out a whinny of pain before falling to the ground, unconscious. Sasuke blinked in shock before falling to his knees.
"What...What just happened?"
"I told you teme. In your face, I was right and you were wrong. NYAH!" Naruto stuck his tongue out at his raven haired rival. Haku walked up to the Fire Horse Pokemon and reached into her jacket pocket that she was currently wearing. She pulled out a revive and a Hyper Potion and applied them both to the downed Fire type. Ponyta rose back to its feet and trotted back over to Sasuke, head down in shame. Sasuke gritted his teeth, stroking Ponyta's nose before looking up at Haku.
"I demand a rematch!"
"No." Haku replied. "Your friends, including you, are in need of much training. The admins of ROOT are very strong, I believe you have faced them, Ruby, Sapphire and Wallace, the children of the Leader."
Narut, Sasuke and Sakura nodded.
"Yeah, they had their Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle ingest some kind of liquid and that allowed them to level up at an extremely quick pace, changing them into their final forms, Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise...all in one shot." Naruto explained.
"Exactly and if that liquid is successful then that means that many of ROOT's Pokemon may be fully evolved and thus stronger, however...the Leader...he is far stronger than any foe you will ever face should you meet him. His Pokemon are able to stand on par with the Champion's." Haku explained.
"With...the Champion's?" Hinata gasped, "But that's incredibly strong, bordering on legendary Pokemon strong!"
"Exactly. Therefore, I will train all five of you in how to fight. We have three days left to train your Pokemon. I will train you in strength, speed, stamina, endurance and your Pokemon and by the end of the three days...you will strong enough to take down almost any trainer you will face." Haku said with a serious look in her eyes. Delibird jumped atop her shoulder and crossed its wings across its chest.
"Delibird Deli Bird Bird Deli."
"We would be honoured to be trained by a gym leader." Akatsuchi bowed low.
"I share Akatsuchi's views." Hinata said.
"As do I." Sakura said as she and Hinata copied Akatsuchi's actions. Naruto and Sasuke remained upright, but nodded.
"Typhlosiooooon!"
"Feraligatr!" Both fully evolved Pokemon elicited cries and glared at Delibird as the Delivery Pokemon issued the challenge to become as strong as it.
Haku nodded. "Very well, now first...release your Pokemon."
The trainers nodded and tossed out their Pokeballs and in a bright flash of white, their Pokemon stood at attention.
Sasuke's team was shown to be Feraligatr, Sneasel, Gengar, Electabuzz, Rhyhorn and Ponyta.
Electabuzz the Electric Pokemon. An Electric type Pokemon. Its body constantly discharges electricity. Getting close to it will make your hair stand on end.
Gengar the Shadow Pokemon. A Ghost/Poison type Pokemon and the evolved form of Haunter. It steals heat from its surroundings. If you feel a sudden chill, it is certain that a Gengar appeared.
Rhyhorn the Spikes Pokemon. A Rock/Ground type Pokemon. It doesn't care if there is anything in its way. It just charges and destroys all obstacles.
Sakura's team contained a rather balanced team. Her team consisted of Meganium, Porygon, Vulpix, Jigglypuff, Pikachu and Azumarill.
Azumarill the Aqua Rabbit Pokemon. A Water type Pokemon and the evolved form of Marill. By keeping still and listening intently, it can tell what is in even wild, fast-moving rivers.
Porygon the Virtual Pokemon. A Normal type Pokemon. It is a manmade Pokémon. Since it doesn't breathe, people are eager to try it in any environment.
Jigglypuff the Balloon Pokemon. A Normal type Pokemon and the evolved form of Igglybuff. If it inflates to sing a lullaby, it can perform longer and cause sure drowsiness in its audience.
Vulpix the Fox Pokemon. A Fire type Pokemon. If it is attacked by an enemy that is stronger than itself, it feigns injury to fool the enemy and escapes.
Pikachu the Mouse Pokemon. An Electric type Pokemon. This intelligent Pokémon roasts hard berries with electricity to make them tender enough to eat.
Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Meganium and Espeon walked up to join the party of Pokemon before them. As Haku looked at the Pokemon, she smirked.
"Your Pokemon are well trained, that much I can tell. However, I can see your flaws. I will fix them. Now I will take each one of your Pokemon and I will remove them of their weaknesses while simultaneously working on their strengths."
"How will you do that, Haku-san?" Hinata asked. Haku turned to Delibird. The Delivery Pokemon jumped off the gym leader's shoulders before taking a deep breath and its wing was surrounded by a swirl of freezing wind and mist. Delibird used Ice Punch and the entire ground before them froze changing the landscape in front of the Lake of Rage to that of a partially frozen wasteland. Amongst the frozen wasteland were a few inclines making the landscape have a wavy appearance.
"You will have your Pokemon run through from here to Delibird. All the while, Delibird will be using Present, Water Pulse and Blizzard to slow you all down. This will also increase your Pokemon's endurance to pain." Haku said.
"So it's like a makeshift obstacle course?" Naruto simplified. The black haired girl moved her hair behind her ear and nodded.
"Exactly...now, go!"
The Pokemon charged forth and Delibird grinned with an evil glint in its eyes as it watched the charging Pokemon, many of which were trying to find their footing along the slippery ice before forming a Water Pulse in its beak.
Oh Delibird was going to have such fun with these rookies.
Two Hours Later
The Pokemon were currently panting in exhaustion, many of which were doused in water and were also sporting coatings of ice over portions of their bodies.
"Woah...they're really tired." Akatsuchi said.
"I know. I'm glad I didn't have to go through that." Sakura stated. The Pokemon turned to the pinkette and glared at her causing her to sweatdrop.
"Nice job, Sakura-chan. Now they're going to get us back one day."
"Shut up, baka!" Sakura yelled at Naruto, bopping him on the head.
"Owwww, Sakura-chan!" Naruto whined as he clutched his head only to suddenly tilt to the right as he forgot his leg was damaged and he accidentally let of his right crutch, thus...he was about to fall. Luckily, Hinata was able to catch the blonde before he fell.
"Naruto-kun, you better watch it before you hurt yourself again." She scolded him lightly. Naruto chuckled, baring his foxy grin.
"Sorry, Hina-chan." He said as he climbed up to his feet.
"Alright, your Pokemon will take a ten minute break and then I will have them move into the forest. There your Pokemon will move as fast as they can to reach the check point while simultaneously avoiding attacks from Delibird. This will help increase your Pokemon's reaction time and agility. Also, your flying type Pokemon will not be able to fly any higher than the canopy of the forest because this is the most difficult type of training for flying types. Due to the many obstacles in a forest, they will need to rely more of their keen eyesight and speed rather than their flight capabilities which I'm sure they are very good at."
The Pokemon groaned in agony, but their trainers walked up to them.
"Come on guys. I know this is tough and that you all are tired quickly..." Hinata started.
"But you guys will definitely get stronger from this." Sakura said.
"You saw how strong Delibird is. It took out Sasuke's Pokemon in one Water Pulse..." Ponyta gained a fire in its eyes when it heard about its defeat.
"PONY!" It whinnied and rose up to its feet and stamped its hooves, flames blazing. Typhlosion watched its fellow fire type and stood up as well, neck flames ablaze.
"TYPHLO!"
"That's the spirit buddy. You'll get stronger..." Naruto looked at all the Pokemon, "All of you will. And then...WE'LL TAKE DOWN ROOT!" The Pokemon all gained determined looks in their eyes as they sat up. The Pokemon nodded, releasing their respective cries in response to their trainers' words.
After the ten minute break, they headed for the forest and on Haku's signal, took off. Sakura's Pikachu and Vulpix and Naruto's Eevee, being the smallest Pokemon, easily took the lead as their small bodies allowed them to be very nimble and agile as they easily them through the small spaces between branches and trees. Naruto's Heracross and Sasuke's Sneasel were able to keep up as well with Sneasel's natural agility and Heracross's ability to move well through a similar setting. However, the two Pokemon quickly leaped apart as a blast of water, courtesy of Delibird, landed where they originally were.
The Delivery Pokemon noticed the others catching up and quickly launched a barrage of Water Pulse attacks, some of which they dodged, while others were struck by them. Delibird then took a deep breath and exhaled a Blizzard attack. A gargantuan ice wall was erected as the Blizzard froze a majority of the forest to prevent them from reaching the check point which was bright red flag at a pine tree where the trainers and gym leader were waiting.
Delibird jumped back and saw part of the ice wall turn a bright orange as Vulpix, Typhlosion and Rapidash used Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Spin, respectively, on the ice wall causing a large stream of fire to burst through the wall as the area was shattered and melted. Feraligatr and Azumarill easily put out the fires when they landed on some areas of foliage as they continued to try and reach the check point.
Water Pulse attacks, as well as Present attack, mostly in the form of explosives, hindered their progress greatly, but in the end they all reached the check point. Haku took out her stop watch and looked at it, Delibird resting on her shoulder.
"Eevee, Pikachu and Vulpix reached the check point in seven minutes, twenty-eight seconds. Sneasel, Heracross, Butterfree, Furret and Espeon made it in nine minutes exactly. The rest of you took ten minutes or more to reach the check point. It's a start, but by the time I'm finished with you all in three days, you all will be able to make through this course within five minutes tops. Even you Pidgeot, who made it in twenty minutes and forty-five seconds. You came last, but it's nothing to worry about. You are not used to flying through such dense forests." The Bird Pokemon nodded at the Ice-type gym leader as it was notified of its flaws.
"Alright, your next training exercise..."Haku spoke to the crowd of Pokemon, "will be to work on the power of your attacks. All of you here are powerful in your right, but strength in attacks is what helps win a battle in most cases." Haku explained. The Pokemon nodded before Delibird jumped off of Haku's shoulder and punched the frozen wasteland that it made earlier. Ice Punch took effect and its training was shown through the fact that the Ice Punch released a pulse of frozen wind before numerous pillars and rocks made entirely of ice appeared.
"Wow...such mastery over Ice attack." Hinata gasped.
"She really deserves that gym leader title." Sakura said.
"Your Pokemon will practice their attacks. Naruto, your Typhlosion knows a powerful move like Lava Plume so that attack will have no problem taking down the obstacles. However, your single opponent attacks as well as other attacks such as Swift, Flame Wheel and Flamethrower. Those attacks will need work. Vulpix is strong Sakura, but due to its small size its attacks tend to be lacking in terms of striking force."
"Sasuke, I will have Delibird train Feraligatr in physical combat personally and have it practice Blizzard. Since your Pokemon is a water type and knows ice type moves as well, it would make absolutely no sense to use Feraligatr in this type of landscape."
The trainers nodded.
"What about us?" Akatsuchi and Hinata asked.
"Your Pokemon will be trained in the same aspects as everyone else's. So don't worry." Haku smiled. "I will make you all strong."
And so for the next few hours, the Pokemon trained in making their attacks stronger. The ice pillars and rocks were shown to be extremely durable. Not even a strong Fire Blast from Ponyta was able to make it topple completely. Typhlosion's Flame Wheel didn't even make a dent and Vulpix's newly learned Flamethrower didn't even make it melt.
They definitely had a lot of work to do.
At the end of the day, the Pokemon had completed their training and were currently back at the Pokemon Center recovering with their trainers. Unfortunately, the Pokemon Center wasn't big enough to house large Pokemon such as Akatsuchi's Steelix so it had to be returned to its Pokeball.
Sasuke and Naruto then looked at the older trainer that was currently training their Pokemon.
"Haku?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, Naruto-san?" Haku smiled as she adjusted her scarf.
"The teme and I were wondering...when this training is done at the beginning of the fifth day..." Naruto paused as he checked to see if Haku was still paying him any attention. When he say that she was, he continued.
"We would like to challenge you for the Glacier Badge." The raven haired boy spoke. Haku's eyes widened slightly.
"Are you sure? The day after the fifth day is when we will set out for Goldenrod City. Your Pokemon may become exhausted from the battle and we may not have enough time." Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other and smirked.
"Then obviously you've never fought trainers like us before." The trainers' Pokemon all stood behind them with confident looks in their eyes. Haku chuckled at the two twelve year old boys and nodded.
"Very well. A Double Battle. Both of you against me and yes...I am that confident in my abilities." Sasuke then got up and Naruto looked at Eevee.
"Eevee, come on. We have some training to do." The Evolution Pokemon rose to its feet and jumped into Naruto's arms before walking outside with Sasuke.
As the two trainers were walking through the town of Mahogany, Naruto stopped off at Route 40 before seeing Sasuke had made a turn to go to the Lake of Rage.
"Sasuke, where are you going?" The blonde asked his rival. Sasuke reached into his pocket and pulled out a Great Ball and tossed it up and down in his hand before clutching it tightly.
"I have to train a new Pokemon." Was all he answered with before leaving the blonde and the Evolution Pokemon.
"Vee Eevee Eev?"
"I don't know, Eevee." Naruto stroked his Pokemon's head, "But although he's a teme, he's a strong trainer. He's know what he's doing." Eevee nodded before the two headed off to do their late night training.
Four Days Later
It was now the beginning of the last day of training. The Pokemon had just finished their final training exercise, to take down the strudy ice pillars and ice rocks that Delibird formed. Their attack, defense, speed, accuracy, all of their physical capabilities were now at, if not just below, their peak. The Pokemon had trained nearly non-stop for the past four days and the fruits of their training were shown in the form of many of the Pokemon undergoing evolution.
Naruto's Eevee, during one of his late night training sessions, had undergone evolution and its dream to become an Umbreon finally became a reality, along with the fact that it managed to finally succeed in being able to woo Hinata's Espeon with its new-found appearance and strength. An outcome that pleased the Moonlight Pokemon.
Umbreon the Moonlight Pokemon. A Dark type Pokemon and the evolved form of Eevee. When agitated, this Pokémon protects itself by spraying poisonous sweat from its pores.
Sasuke's Ponyta, having already been strong, had quickly and easily evolved into Rapidash and his Rhyhorn had become a powerful Rhydon. However, he replaced the Electabuzz he had with a Pokemon he dubbed as his 'secret weapon'. When asked about what the Pokemon was, he merely replied saying that he would reveal it in the fight against Haku.
Rapidash the Fire Horse Pokemon. A Fire type Pokemon and the evolved form of Ponyta. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed of 150 mph after running just 10 steps.
Rhydon the Drill Pokemon. A Rock/Ground type Pokemon and the evolved form of Rhyhorn. Its rugged hide protects it from even the heat of lava. However, the hide also makes it insensitive.
Sakura, having wanted to keep her Pokemon in their 'cute' forms for when she does her contests, and thus only allowed her Porgyon to evolve as she had it upgrade its software in its structure using a disc known as the Upgrade which she had found in the former HQ of ROOT.
Porygon2 the Virtual Pokemon. A Normal type Pokemon and the evolved form of Porygon. Further research enhanced its abilities. Sometimes, it may exhibit motions that were not programmed.
Akatsuchi's Zubat had also managed to become a very powerful Golbat and with moves like Mean Look and Air Slash, it proved to be a very challenging opponent in the mock battles Haku arranged between the trainers.
Golbat the Bat Pokemon. A Poison/Flying type Pokemon and the evolved form of Zubat. However hard its victim's hide may be, it punctures with sharp fangs and gorges itself with blood.
The entirety of the Pokemon squad gathered before Haku and their trainers. Haku and Delibird smirked at the obviously stronger Pokemon before speaking.
"You and your trainers have done exceedingly well to have come so far. Many of you have also managed to evolve which is an excellent result of your training." Haku smiled as she adjusted her scarf.
"Deli Deli Delibiiiiird!" The Delivery Pokemon congratulated the Pokemon before throwing out a Present. The Pokemon immediately reacted by leaping away from the present. Then as Pidgeot sent the sack flying away with a powerful flap of its wings, Rhydon sent forth a strong Rock Blast attack and utterly destroyed the present. Delibird gaped in shock before crying.
"It was just a present you guys, not an explosive. It was some ice medals to congratulate you all on a job well done." Sakura and Hinata informed the Pokemon. They all gaped in shock before sweatdropping at their actions and joined Delibird in sobbing as they lost their gifts. Haku giggled at the Pokemon before turning to Sasuke and Naruto.
"Now then, you all have completed your training. Your Pokemon are extremely strong, but then again...so are mine." Haku grinned. Sasuke scoffed at that.
"You may have taught us and our Pokemon, but with my secret weapon...dobe and I will crush you." Sasuke said as fingered a Great Ball he kept in his pocket. Haku giggled again, moving a lock of hair behind her ear.
"I look forward to seeing what this, 'secret weapon' is."
"So do we, you never told us what is was." Everyone chorused. Sasuke didn't reply before staring at his opponent.
"Teme...I thought we had agreed no more working together after our battle with Lee and Tenten."
"We can't afford to lose much time seeing as we have to go to the ROOT gathering in Goldenrod, dobe. So this is another exception to our working together." Sasuke said. "THEN...we stop. No more double battles unless necessary."
Naruto chuckled and his foxy grin appeared on his face. "No problem with those terms teme."
"Very well, come to the gym. Everything is prepared for our battle." Haku said as she walked away. Delibird have a happy "DELIIII!" as it hopped on Haku's shoulder and the trainers and their Pokemon all followed Haku to the gym.
Mahogany Town Gym
The gym, upon their entering, had revealed itself to be of a rather simplistic design. There was nothing special about it. There was a battlefield outlined by the white paint that marked its boundaries. There was a referee's area with said referee waiting to the right of the battlefield. A set of bleachers were set off to the side for any spectators. Also the entire gym was coated entirely by ice, the floors, the walls, everywhere was gifted, or cursed in the eyes of Haku's challengers, with a beautiful, crystalline appearance. Plus it was really, really cold. As it was stated before, the gym was nothing special.
"Welcome to the Mahogany Town Gym." Haku welcomed her challengers and their friends and Pokemon. The others stared in awe, Sasuke and Naruto were giving analytical gazes as they had to try and adapt to new battle strategies seeing as how the ice field ruined practically every single of them. Sakura, Hinata and Akatsuchi, along with their Pokemon, all walked over to the bleachers. Naruto, Sasuke and their teams remained at their end of the large battlefield.
The referee cleared his throat as he raised his flags.
"ALRIGHT, THIS IS A DOUBLE BATTLE BETWEEN THE CHALLENGERS, NARUTO UZUMAKI AND SASUKE UCHIHA FROM NEW BARK TOWN...AND THE GYM LEADER OF MAHOGANY TOWN, HAKU-SAMA! BOTH CHALLENGERS ARE ALLOWED TO USE TWO POKEMON EACH, WHILE HAKU-SAMA IS ALLOWED THE USE OF FOUR POKEMON! THE GYM LEADER IS ALLOWED THE USE OF ONE ITEM AND THE CHALLENGERS ARE ALLOWED THE USE OF TWO ITEMS, ONE EACH!" The referee explained.
The challengers and the gym leader nodded.
"NOW IF YOU ALL ARE READY...LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!" The referee threw down in flags and Haku took out two Poke Balls, one being a Lure Ball.
"Alright, let's go!" Haku announced as she threw the Poke Balls into the air. In twin flashes of light, the Pokeballs opened and revealed their contents. In one Poke Ball, there came out a large, brown, pig-like Pokemon. Its snout was a light pink and its black eyes were covered by its long hair. A pair of white tusks with dangerously sharp tips curved upwards on either side of the snout. This was Piloswine. The second Pokemon, the one from the Lure Ball, was a white sea lion-like Pokemon that was covered in white, slippery looking skin. Its black eyes shone with the lust for battle and at the top of its head was a lone, sharp spike. This was a Dewgong, the evolved form of Seel.
"Alright, Piloswine and Dewgong. Both Ice types, but Dewgong is part water type. Sasuke, maybe we could go our fire types off the bat and take out Piloswine and then try to corner Dewgong." Naruto stated. Sasuke pursed his lips.
"We could, but Dewgong could easily take Typhlosion and Rapidash out with its water type moves. Also it seems extremely powerful." Sasuke noted.
"True." Naruto said. Sasuke then got an idea.
"What about your Pidgeot and my Rhydon. Rhydon could use Earthquake to attack the field while Pidgeot remains safe as it's airborne and then I go in with quick strikes like Wing Attack." Naruto bit his lip at that.
"But both are weak against ice types. You've managed to have your Cyndaquil beat my Totodile in one of our earlier battles. If you could do it once, you could do it again." Naruto nodded before looking to Pidgeot.
"Pidgeot, let's fly." The Bird Pokemon nodded.
"PIDGEOOOT!"
"Rhydon, let's go."
"RHYYYYY!" The Drill Pokemon stamped onto the field. The rest of their teams went over to the bleachers to watch/await their turn to fight, should they get to.
"Why would they use those Pokemon?" Sakura asked.
"I wonder that too, Sakura-san. They are obviously at a type disadvantage."
"Don't worry you guys, I'm sure Naruto and Sasuke have good reasons for doing what they're doing." Akatsuchi assured the two coordinators.
"Hopefully you're right, Akatsuchi-san. Otherwise, Naruto-kun and Sasuke are in for a quick defeat." The Hyuga said.
The four Pokemon stared at one another with fierce looks in their eyes.
"I must say, this is one of the first times a trainer has WILLINGLY used a Pokemon against me that has a type disadvantage."
"Well like I said...you haven't fought against trainers like me and the dobe."
"Alright, teme...let's do this." Sasuke nodded.
"RHYDON EARTHQUAKE!" Haku watched as the Drill Pokemon raised its foot, but then turned to Dewgong.
"Dewgong, slide along the floor and use Aurora Beam." She commanded. Dewgong nodded before using the slippery floor along with its naturally slippery skin to swiftly make its way over to Rhydon. Sasuke and Naruto gaped in shock at the speed Dewgong moved at.
"Fast." The two trainers commented as a rainbow coloured beam slammed into Rhydon's stomach and sent the dual type Pokemon back a few steps.
"Pidgeot, STEEL WING!" Naruto commanded. Pidgeot flew down at a quick pace and slammed its steel hard wing against the ice type, but due to Dewgong's water type characteristic, the attack was not super effective. Dewgong skidded backwards before Piloswine slid along the floor and used Take Down on Rhydon.
"Rhydon, quickly...use Rock Blast of both of them." Sasuke ordered Rhydon opened its jaws and rocks started to fire from its mouth.
"Piloswine, Dewgong...use Ice Beam and block those rocks." Haku stated calmly. The two freezing ice blasts froze over the rapidly moving spheres of stone.
"NOW PIDGEOT USE GUST AND TWISTER!" The dragon and flying type moves combined to form a giant twister of destruction and tore through the air before slamming into both of Haku's Pokemon. The two were sent flying back by the attack and landed on the ground harshly.
"Piloswine counter with Ice Beam, quickly!" Piloswine launched the freezing beam, but Pidgeot dodged using its increased speed. However, Dewgong used Aurora Beam and struck the Flying type with a rainbow coloured attack. Pidgeot was sent flying through the air before a quick Take Down caused from Piloswine using the icy battlefield speed and making a ramp out of an Ice Beam, sent Pidgeot to the ground.
"Rhydon, use Horn Drill!" Rhydon's horn spun rapidly as the large Pokemon raced towards Piloswine. Piloswine quickly slid away and Rhydon ended up drilling through a boulder of ice and shattered it upon impact.
"Piloswine, Ice Beam on them both. Dewgong, use Water Pulse on Rhydon!"
"Pidgeot, use Twister to deflect them!" Naruto commanded. The large Bird Pokemon rose back to its feet and flapped its wings furiously. The dragon type move sprung to life and the twister froze into a rather beautiful spire of swirling ice before being shattered apart by Water Pulse.
"SASUKE NOW!" The raven haired boy nodded.
"RHYDON NOW'S OUR CHANCE! EARTHQUAKE!" Suddenly, the entire battlefield began to shake and Piloswine and Dewgong were struck by a powerful seismic shock. The Earthquake attack sent both ice types upwards as the seismic shock painfully affected them.
"Pidgeot, use Steel Wing. Multiple strikes, let's go!" Pidgeot's wings took on a steel-silver colour before it took off, using Quick Attack to enhance its already above average speed. The steel type move slammed into both Pokemon, but Dewgong's water type charactertstic was able to prevent the move from being super effective, however the same couldn't be said for poor Piloswine.
"So that was their plan to use Rhydon and Pidgeot!" Akatsuchi exclaimed.
"I must say, it is very useful. Rhydon's strength allowed for an already powerful move like Earthquake to be effective and Pidgeot's speed allowed the plan to work greatly."
Haku's eyes widened significantly as she watched her Pokemon meet the harsh ice floor as Pidgeot performed a makeshift lariat with its Steel Wing attack. Pidgeot then flew up as Rhydon stood in front of the downed Pokemon.
"Alright, Rhydon...wrap this up and use Focus Blast." Sasuke had bought the TM back in Goldenrod City before his fight with Fuka and boy was he glad to have remembered he had it now. Rhydon brought its forelimbs together in front of its chest before parting them slowly. Blue energy swirled into a compact sphere before it was fired off. The Focus Blast attack soared through the air and crashed into both Pokemon.
An explosion kicked up ice and smoke everywhere and Haku chuckled when she saw her Pokemon were now unconscious. She had not expected for Pokemon with such a large type disadvantage to earn a victory over her Pokemon.
"THE WINNER OF THIS ROUND IS THE PAIR OF CHALLENGERS! HAKU-SAMA HAS TWO MORE POKEMON REMAINING, THE CHALLENGERS HAVE THEIR TOTAL OF FOUR AT THEIR DISPOSAL STILL!" The referee announced as he raised the green flag that represented the victory for the challenger's side.
"Amazing strategy, you two. Be sure to remember it for when we reach Goldenrod City." Haku complimented her opponents. She held out the Poke Balls and returned Piloswine and Dewgong to their balls in a flash of red. Sasuke smirked while Naruto formed his foxy grin at the praise they received.
"I'm actually surprised such a move was capable of doing this much damage to my Pokemon." Haku said.
"You ain't seen nothin' yet." Naruto said. Naruto and Sasuke then decided to use their item options and healed Rhydon and Pidgeot.
Haku nodded before adjusting her scarf, a habit she always had. She took out a Poke Ball as Delibird jumped off her shoulder and onto the battlefield.
She threw the Pokeball and in a flash of light, there appeared a blue Pokemon that resembled a plesiosaur with a light cream coloured under belly appeared. The undersides of its neck, flippers, lower jaw and small tail were also this colour. There was a large horn protruding from atop the Pokemon's head. Its dark grey eyes stared at the opponents before it.
Delibird flew over to the Lapras and rested atop its head, sack held as it readied to throw Rhydon and Pidegot some 'presents'.
"A Lapras?" Sakura exclaimed.
"Those Pokemon are said to be extremely powerful when raised correctly and this one is no doubt raised well considering it's Haku." The Lapras released a beautiful song-like cry as it greeted its trainer and Delibird.
"Careful teme. That Lapras looks really strong." Naruto warned his temporary battle partner. Sasuke scoffed.
"I should be telling YOU that."
"SHUT UP!"
"NO YOU SHUT UP!"
Both trainers glared at each other, anime lightning sparking between them. Everyone sweatdropped at the scene before them before they returned to being serious as the battle resumed.
"Alright, let's do this again. Rhydon use Earthquake!"
"Not again." Haku grinned. "Lapras, Delibird...use Blizzard!" Haku yelled. Both Pokemon exhaled powerful blasts of freezing wind at Pidgeot and Rhydon.
"Pidgeot, use Gust to block it!" However, the wind circulation system, though taking some of the force of the Blizzard after freezing over, did nothing to stop the attack and both Pokemon were struck by the ice type move. Rhydon and Pidgeot flew through the air and landed against a pair of ice boulders.
"Come on you two, get up!" The trainers exclaimed. Rhydon and Pidgeot got up, though slowly due to the heavy damage they took from Blizzard. Areas of their bodies were also heavily coated in ice.
"End it, Delibird." Haku commanded. Delibird's wings became coated in ice and punched Rhydon with a ferocious Ice Punch in the form of an uppercut. Everyone was in awe when they saw Rhydon was lifted off the ground by the attack before it was sent flying through the air by the Water Pulse that followed after.
Sasuke watched as Rhydon flew over his head and landed outside the boundaries of the battlefield. Delibird then used Blizzard on Pidgeot and the Bird Pokemon was completely frozen and thus lost the battle along with Rhydon.
"Such...Such strength." Sasuke gasped. Naruto could merely nod. The Pokemon and the other trainers watching could only mimic their feeling of disbelief with how easily Rhydon and Pidgeot were easily defeated, even if the moves were super effective.
"THE WINNERS ARE LAPRAS AND DELIBIRD FROM HAKU-SAMA!" The referee announced.
"Sasuke, I hope that secret weapon of yours is strong because Delibird and Lapras are really strong." Naruto commented. Sasuke nodded as he and Naruto returned their Pokemon to their balls.
"Care to give up, boys?" Haku asked as she gestured to her Pokemon. "Lapras is my most powerful Pokemon and Delibird is my partner Pokemon is equally powerful if not a close second to Lapras." Naruto and Sasuke shook their heads.
"We never give up!"
"We're getting that badge from you, Haku!" Naruto said. Haku grinned.
"They say a trainer's feelings are reflected onto their Pokemon and that is the mark of a powerful trainer. You boys have unbridled determination to become victorious, your Pokemon share that expression." The pale skinned girl said. The ice type gym leader than waited as she watched her challengers take their time to choose their Pokemon.
"They are both dual type Pokemon, ice types, but Lapras's water type nature keeps it safe from fire attacks and since Delibird is part flying type...AMPHOROS LET'S GO!"
The Light Pokemon leaped to the battlefield and electricity sparked over its body as it prepared to fight. The Pokemon cheered for Amphoros as it crashed its fists together in an intimidating fashion, which was enhanced seeing as how it used Thunderpunch while doing this action.
"Alright, dobe...you might be a bit surprised when I use this."
"What is your secret weapon?" Naruto exclaimed.
"I wonder what it is." Hinata wondered as she watched from the bleachers.
"Probably something strong. It is Sasuke-kun after all." Sakura said as she got hearts in her eyes. "But hopefully it's something that will help in taking down Lapras and Delibird." Sakura added with a serious look. "An electric type, like what Naruto chose would have been really suitable."
"But Sasuke said he switched out Electabuzz for his 'secret weapon' though" Akatsuchi reminded the pink haired girl.
"Do you guys know what it is?" Hinata asked the members of Sasuke's team. They all shook their heads at the Hyuga's question and thus all the Pokemon were also curious as to what this Pokemon was.
Sasuke threw the Great Ball into the air and a flash of pale blue light filled the air. The light then began to take shape and was shown to be extremely tall.
"What the...?" Everyone could only stare in shock as the light died down and revealed Sasuke's secret weapon.
"NO WAY!" Hinata gawked at the Pokemon.
"WHAT THE FUCK, TEME?"
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Akatsuchi and Sakura exclaimed. The Pokemon also expressed their views with cries of shock or amazement as they watched Sasuke's sixth Pokemon.
"The...The Red Gyarados?" Naruto exclaimed.
The Atrocious Pokemon gave a deafening roar as it took to the field and turned to Sasuke with a respectful nod. Sasuke smirked and Red Gyarados roared in response to its trainer's greeting.
"How did you catch it?" Hinata exclaimed. "WHEN?"
"Isn't that the Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage? You actually caught it?" Haku asked. Sasuke nodded at Haku's question.
"Well Hyuga..." Sasuke faced the girl as he began to tell of how he caught the Red Gyarados.
Flashback
As the large whirlpool sucked in everyone into its depths Sasuke looked around and saw Naruto, Hinata, Feraligatr, Espeon and Amphoros swirling within the whirlpool with him. Sasuke noticed the Red Gyarados was also swirling past him as well. Sasuke gritted his teeth as he reached into his backpack and took a Great Ball.
"There is no way in hell am I letting you go!" Sasuke threw the ball and the crimson Atrocious Pokemon, now extremely weakened due to the tiring with the three trainers, became red energy and was sucked into the Great Ball and it flew back into Sasuke's hands. Sasuke quickly pressed the center button and the Pokeball shrank in size and he placed it in his backpack.
Sasuke then saw the darkness in the whirlpool before he was met with the seemingly crushing force of the waves from within the vortex of water and he was met with darkness and a very cold feeling as he fell unconscious.
End Flashback
"So that's what happened to it. Wait so if you had it, why didn't you use it in our fight against Wallace?" Naruto asked.
"Let loose a wild Pokemon like the Red Gyarados in such a cramped space where it would do more damage that good is not a smart move, dobe." Sasuke told the blonde. Naruto saw the logic in Sasuke's decision.
"Wait...so how did you manage to train it?" Sakura asked.
"I wonder that too. The Red Gyarados was extremely stubborn and angry." The Atrocious Pokemon glared at Hinata at the comments she made about it. "How did you get it to listen to you?"
"A lot of patience and a lot of glaring." Sasuke replied. The gym was silent for a few moments before Haku blinked.
"Ummm okay then." She said. "Let's continue, LAPRAS USE HYDRO PUMP, DELIBIRD USE ICE PUNCH TO FREEZE IT!" Lapras took a deep breath and suddenly launched a powerful blast of pressurized water. Delibird then punched the water and it began to freeze on it way towards the Red Gyarados and Amphoros.
"Amphoros, shatter it with Iron Tail and then use Thunderbolt!" Naruto said.
"Gyarados, use Thunder!" Sasuke commanded. Amphoros's tail took on shine as it glowed silver before smashing down on the frozen Hydro Pump attack that would have caused some heavy damage. Amphoros then launched a powerful Thunderbolt attack and Gyaradose became coated in electricity before launching a strong Thunder attack.
"What the hell? Gyarados can learn electric type moves?" Naruto exclaimed.
"And fire type moves too." Sasuke added. Naruto's jaw nearly hit the floor as he heard what the Gyarados species was capable of.
"Lapras use Hydro Pump and Delibird use Blizzard to fight off the attacks!" Haku commanded. The four attacks collided at the midpoint before causing a large explosion.
"Amphoros, use the smoke as cover and use Thunder Punch on Delibird." The Light Pokemon ran through the black smoke and to the surprise of Lapras and Delibird, Amphoros rushed out of the cloud with its fist surrounded by electrical currents.
"AMPHOROS!" The yellow and black Pokemon cried out before smashing the attack down on Delibird, however the Delivery Pokemon avoided the attack as Lapras moved its head back.
"Use Present!" Haku commanded. Delibird took out a Present and threw it at Amphoros and it exploded. The nicely wrapped gift was an explosive and thus it damaged the electric type Pokemon. Delibird then jumped off of Lapras's head and sent an Ice Punch to Amphoros's skull.
"Use Iron Tail!" Amphoros managed to twist and strike a powerful Iron Tail to Delibird's side and both Pokemon flew through the air. Delibird flapped its wings while Amphoros cracked the icy floor as it landed on its back.
"GYARADOS, FIRE BLAST!"
"HYDRO PUMP LAPRAS!"
Both powerful moves collided to create a cloud of steam before it was blown away by a powerful Blizzard attack from Delibird. The icy type move struck both of their opponents and Gyarados and Amphoros were partially frozen, however the heat from the steam allowed them to break free from their bonds with minimal effort.
"Teme, have Gyarados use a water move...it does know a water move right?" Sasuke nodded.
"GYARADOS, USE HYDRO PUMP!" Powerful blast of pressurized water flew through the air, but it froze as Lapras used Blizzard.
"Use Water Pulse!" Delibird used the attack and it struck Gyarados in the face. A few more Water Pulse attacks followed after and Gyarados suddenly became confused.
"Shit!" Sasuke cursed. "Gyarados!"
"It's confused, quick Delibird...Lapras...use Blizzard, full force!" Haku commanded.
"Amphoros use Thunderbolt and expand the electricity to make a shield!" Naruto commanded. Amphoros's body emitted a large amount of electricity before the currents began to form a pillar-like defense and blocked the ice type move. Another Thunderbolt followed after and it speared towards the gym leader's Pokemon.
"Use Water Pulse!" Lapras sent forth a sphere of water and blocked the attack before Gyarados lashed out multiple times and caused some ice boulders to shatter as well as causing itself pain as it slammed headfirst into the floor. Its tail slammed into Amphoros as well.
"Teme, get that Gyarados of your back in control." Naruto yelled.
"GYARADOS, LISTEN TO ME! BREAK OUT OF THAT CONFUSION, YOU CAN DO IT!" The Atrocious Pokemon gave a deafening roar as it continued to bash its head against the floor, only to be struck by two powerful Blizzard attacks. Amphoros was also struck by the freezing winds before Naruto got an idea. However...Naruto shook his head.
'No, it's a risk we have to take.' Naruto thought.
"Sasuke, tell Gyarados to brace itself." Sasuke was confused at that before he saw Amphoros suddenly build up electricity in its tail.
"Dobe, what are you doing?"
"AMPHOROS USE DISCHARGE!" Amphoros leaped into the air and slammed its tail onto the ground and a large pulse of lightning rocketed across the entire battlefield striking friend and foe alike.
The people and Pokemon in the bleachers were comically shocked by the attack, turning black and their eyes blinking through the ash. Qaugsire and all of Akatsuchi's Pokemon, minus Golbat, were the only ones that weren't hurt.
"Discharge! You used DISCHARGE?" Sasuke yelled.
"It was the only way to get Gyarados out of it!" Naruto argued. He then pointed at a damaged Lapras and Delibird. "Besides, I also got a hit on those two." Sasuke gritted his teeth before looking at his panting Gyarados. Having taken such a powerful electric type move, especially in its confused state alongside the fact that it was a water/flying type, made it much weaker than before.
"LAPRAS USE WATER PULSE!" Haku ordered. Lapras fired several spheres of blue water.
"Amphoros, Thunderbolt on all of them!" The Thunderbolt speared through every single attack, but Lapras used Ice Beam and summoned an ice wall to block the attack.
"Fire Blast, Gyarados!" The ice wall melted and a small explosion formed sending Lapras skidding backwards, Delibird clutching the water/ice type's horn.
"Delibird use Water Pulse in quick succession!" Delibird launched multiple Water Pulse attacks.
"Now use Ice Beam on Amphoros's feet, Lapras!" The opponents were too bust with holding off the Water Pulse attacks that they never realized it until it was too late. Amphoros became anchored to the spot it was standing before cursing. It couldn't angle its tail properly to smash through the ice. However, it was smacked by the Red Gyarados's tail and sent comically flying into a wall.
"That was payback for the Discharge!" Sasuke yelled. Gyarados roared in agreement with its new trainer before it ducked to avoid an Ice Beam from Lapras before countering with Hydro Pump.
"DISCHARGE!"
"USE THUNDER!"
Both of the challengers' Pokemon became coated in lightning before launching the attacks.
"Lapras, use Ice Beam! Delibird, Blizzard!" Both ice type moves collided with the electric type moves in an epic explosion. As the smoke from the explosion died down, Amphoros appeared and was struck by a Thunder attack from Gyarados.
"What the...you struck your own partner?" Haku exclaimed loudly.
"No...I was just giving him a power boost!" Sasuke answered as the electricity began to course through the Light Pokemon's body. Amphoros looked back to the Atrocious Pokemon and smirked in thanks. Gyarados nodded before taking a deep breath and exhaling a Fire Blast.
"AMPHOROS USE THUNDERBOLT!" A large thunderbolt crashed down on Delibird and Lapras before the Fire Blast attack followed later. A loud and large explosion filled the air before a large cloud of dust and ice swirled around them. Amphoros landed back in front of Gyarados and the two stared at Haku's Pokemon.
The smoke cleared before revealing Lapras and Delibird, both covered in sparks of electricity.
"Well this is an interesting development. It seems my Pokemon are paralyzed." Haku muttered. She quickly took out a Paralyze Heal and healed her Pokemon and curing them of the paralysis. After that was settled, Lapras and Delibird launched twin Blizzard attacks.
"Punch the ground with Thunder Punch!" Naruto commanded. As he said that, the Light Pokemon punched the ground and a pillar of lightning up in front of Amphoros and Gyarados and took the attack. Gyarados roared in acknowledgement to the Light Pokemon before opening its mouth even wider than before.
Lapras, however managed three Ice Beam attacks. One which Amphoros dodged. The other two struck Red Gyarados before it began to topple slightly.
"NOW USE IT...FINISH WITH THUNDER!" A large bolt of electricity flew from Gyarados's body.
"Don't let him show us up. Amphoros use Thunderbolt, give it all you got."
"USE BLIZZARD, BOTH OF YOU!" As the attack collided, there was another loud and large explosion within the gym. Ice and water formed from the heat of the electrical energy moving through the air. After the smoke cloud cleared, it revealed the two ice type Pokemon laying in a puddle of heated water from the electric attacks energy being converted to heat.
Haku stared in amazement as she saw her two most powerful Pokemon faint.
"THE WINNERS ARE SASUKE UCHIHA AND NARUTO UZUMAKI ARE THE WINNERS!" Haku watched as the two boys cheered, well Naruto cheered, Sasuke just stood their trying to pull off the 'I'm cool and emo look'.
"Good job in your first gym battle Gyarados. Now time for the big times..." The crimson serpent nodded before roaring. Sasuke returned it to its Pokeball along with his other Pokemon, except for Feraligatr, and Naruto did the same with his other Pokemon except for Typhlosion. Hinata, Sakura and Akatsuchi followed suit, with Hinata and Sakura leaving their partners outside as well. Meganium and Espeon did get along a well slightly.
Haku then walked up to the two trainers and pulled out two small badges hidden in her cloak pocket. They were in the shape of hexagonal snowflakes and covered with an ice blue colour. The badges were outlined with a darkish silver as always.
"Naruto Uzumaki...Sasuke Uchiha, I am proud to have had you and your Pokemon as both my students as well as my opponents. Take this...the Glacier Badge as proof of your winning." Haku then took out a small light-blue disc. The disc was an ice blue colour with the words, TM07:Hail, imprinted on it.
"The Glacier Badge is your seventh gym badge so you will only have one more before your quest to begin the Pokemon League starts. Also, the TM is one known as Hail. For five minutes, there will be a hail storm present that can periodically damage a Pokemon as well as up ice type moves in this weather." Haku explained. Sasuke and Naruto took the badges and each performed a small bow.
"Than you, Haku-san." Naruto and Sasuke replied.
After celebrating their victories when healing their Pokemon, the group gathered amongst one another and made a toast to Naruto and Sasuke for winning their battle. They then became serious as an awkward silence washed over them.
"Alright you guys...we've got the gym battle, an amazing one at that..." Haku smiled at Naruto for the compliment on her battling skills, "out of the way. Now that that is done then we will finally be able to go to Goldenrod City and combat ROOT." Haku stood up and her scarf and cloak fluttered in the wind of the open-windowed Center.
"Time to take down ROOT once and for all."
