As the lopunny ran over towards to the robbery scene, she crouched behind a bush nearby. "So that's where this criminal activity is going on," She whispered to herself, looking at the Good Eats restaurant. "This going to be easy. Just don't screw this one up, Jenny."
A familiar voice came out of nowhere said, "Excuse me, Ms.?".
It startled Jenny and gave her a bit of a heart attack. She fell onto her butt and saw the same group she talked to moments ago. "Glad to see us?" The vulpix asked.
The lopunny recognized the group quickly. She frowned and wiped some of that dust off her sleeve. "What you do think you're doing? This is dangerous!" She barked quietly. She made a brief look at the crime scene going on.
"We're here to help! What else would we do?" The fox answered with full confidence. The espeon shook her head and rolled it's eyes.
"Just run away, and find a building for safety for Pete's sake!" The tall bunny countered. She sighed in frustration and worry.
With worry in her eyes, she said, "Look, I appreciate you guys, or actually some of you wanting to help. But I can't let you kids go on your own, and trying to fight bad guys, thinking you can defeat them. I'm sorry, but you can't! Do you have any idea how much trouble and pain you could be in?"
"We've dealt worse," The vulpix replied. "Some of us nearly died while fighting some of those bad guys. We're a lot tougher than you think."
Jenny stared at them, seeming to be a bit taken back about what the young fox said. "I'm sorry," She responded with a bit of confusion. "What did you say? You… nearly died doing these missions you were talking about? You're not making this up, right?"
The vulpix shook his head, fully confident with his answer. The tall bunny still doubted him. She asked the espeon who was still frustrated, "Is this true? Are you not joking?"
The espeon took a deep sigh, and answered, "Yes, all of this is true. We all have faced near-death during our missions that were assigned to us."
Jenny stared at them in disbelief. These kids, at their age, had fought through dangerous tasks at this age, and maybe even risked their lives for the greater good. She asked, "What were some of those missions handed down to you? Who did you have to deal with?"
The espeon replied, "We had to chase down people, and bring them to justice. We all tried to prevent some sort of freak accident happening. We… tried to bring one of our friends back from the clutches of a bad guy who's really dangerous, but it didn't work out well."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Jenny apologized.
"It's okay," The vulpix replied back. "But these missions made us stronger then before, helped us learn from our mistakes. We've grown more through battles than our training, and that matters to me the most."
Jenny paused for a moment, stared at the group. She then asked, "You're not from that world that is invested with humans and animals, are you? I bet you're from the other worlds out there; not like the ones filled with ordinary humans, animals, or even Pokemon in this case. Aren't you humans the one that uses chakra while fighting and claim themselves to be 'ninjas'?"
"Yes," The glaceon quietly answered with a surprised look on his face. "H-How did you know?"
Jenny shrugged her shoulders, and replied, "It just so happened that I guessed. The world that you're from; it's one of the most well-known places. You must've been turned into Pokemon when you first entered into this inhabited world since you guys are human.
"But still, even if you dealt with tough situations, and gotten stronger along the way, I won't let you get involved with that robbery going around there! It's too dangerous! You don't know what your moves are, or know how to fight as a Pokemon! It takes practice and skill to make through a fight at least!"
"You may be right, but I'm not backing out of this one." The vulpix countered "I'll stop these bad guys for the greater good! Even if I don't know what I'm doing, I'm still going to try no matter what! That's my ninja way!"
Jenny was surprised by the vulpix's energy and noticed that the group lightened up a bit. For a few moments, they were feeling worried, and a bit frustrated there. However, some are still feeling apprehensive, despite the fox's motivational speech. She smiled, but still felt worried about them, since they don't know their moves, nor how to use them.
"Alright," She responded in defeat. "Just don't say I didn't warn you. Whoever wants to come can go with me. If you still don't want to go, that's okay. Stay behind this bush. For beginners, if you wanna fight, just be fast on your paws, and tackle them as hard as you can. You can do that, right?"
The vulpix, the espeon, and the growlithe nodded, as they stretched for a few minutes. The glaceon and the poochyena decided to sit back and stay behind. "By the way, what are your names? All of you." The tall bunny asked.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki." The fox answered. He then pointed out, saying the others are Sakura, Kiba, Hinata, and Akamaru.
"Nice to meet you," She replied. "The name's Jenny. Let's go!"
Jenny started to stand up and run towards the restaurant. The three who decided to go followed her. "So that's where Good Eats is… Gotta remember that for next time." Naruto said in awe.
"Just shut up and go! Don't get distracted, you dummy!" Sakura scowled.
As Naruto made a quick apology to Sakura, Jenny entered through the door and punched a robber hard in the stomach. The fallen opponent fell down to the ground unconscious. "Who the heck is that bunny? Oh no, you're Jenny aren't you?" Another robber exclaimed.
Jenny stopped herself in front of the robber and gave him an annoyed look. The robber is a drowzee, who just happens to be her ex-boyfriend. "Gary, what are you doing here? Why are you robbing restaurant?" She questioned.
"I don't know," Gary replied. "It's just what I do. Listen here, I'm sorry-"
"I know what you did," Jenny interrupted. "You just go ahead, ditch our night together so you can try to rob a bank. That's just selfish, you know? But, I still forgive you nonetheless."
"So…. you wanna go out sometime soon? Maybe this week?" Gary offered.
"Sorry," Jenny replied as she used jump kick, knocking Gary out. "You're not my type of guy. Don't wanna get into robbing stores and stuff, you now?"
"Naruto, Sakura, Kiba-" Jenny stopped her own sentence when she realized the three weren't right behind her. "Dang it, where did they go?" She whispered.
"Hold it right there! You don't know who you're dealing with!" Someone yelled out loud. It came from inside the restaurant. The person who yelled was Naruto, and Kiba was standing next to him. They were in the kitchen area.
Not too far from the boys are, Sakura is getting cornered by a couple robbers. She kept backing away, with worry on her face.
"Oh shoot. There they are… Gotta get to them fast!" Jenny whispered to herself as she quietly entered the restaurant. She hid behind some tables nearby.
As she looked around and saw Sakura. Jenny whispered, "Psst! Hey! Sakura! Over here!"
Sakura noticed Jenny and made eye contact with her. Jenny then made hand gestures, pointing to one of the robbers, struck a finger at herself, and then formed a fist; gently punching her own hand.
Sakura nodded, and then looked at one of the robbers again. Jenny slowly crept up, making less movement as possible. Suddenly, the robber looked behind, and shouted, "Hey! Who are-"
He didn't finish his sentence as Jenny kicked him hard in the gut. She tossed the robber into the counter and rolled down in agony. Sakura then, using a good amount her strength, attempted attacking the other criminal. As Sakura headed towards him, she felt this sudden quick movement going between her legs. She went head-first, tackling the robber. He flew off the ground, hit hard on the wall, and fell flat on his side.
Jenny, with an impressed look on her face, commented, "Great job, kid! I can't believe this! You've already learned your first move; quick attack. Not bad for a beginner."
"Thanks!" Sakura replied back, with a proud smile on her face.
"Just stay right there, and see if you can help anybody," Jenny ordered.
Sakura nodded and looked around to see if there's anything she can do. Jenny then went over to the kitchen to help out Naruto and Kiba, who are tied up at the moment. The two are being surrounded by a few robbers. "Crap! How do we get out of this one?" Naruto asked Kiba quietly.
"I don't know! Don't look at me!" Kiba barked back.
"So, what are going to do with these fellas?" The first robber asked.
"Beats me. We can just kidnap them and make them our hostages." The second robber suggested.
"We could corner these two and knock them out. And then we can take them, hostage." The third robber added.
Jenny walked slowly and crouched. Her plan is to basically grab one of the robber's attention and take him out. This should get the other's attention, and come towards her. She'll have to fight them off one way or another. Hopefully, the two boys would help out too, despite knowing the fact they don't know how to fight, at least as a Pokemon.
Just as Jenny came close to one of the robbers, a hard smack came out of nowhere, and sent the foe flying, crashing himself into a bunch of pots and pans. Once those items cleared out, she first saw a pangoro in sight. "That's… George. Hadn't seen him in two months." Jenny quietly said to herself.
"Hey, who the-" That robber's sentence was cut off as Jenny gave him a karate chop right on the chin, knocking the lights out of her opponent.
The final robber suddenly made dead eye contact with Jenny, and came towards her. He was about to use Water Gun when suddenly a zangoose came out of nowhere and tackled him to the ground. As the fallen foe rolled and grunted in pain, the zangoose got up and brushed his shoulder in case if there's any dirt left.
The zangoose made eye contact with Jenny and said, "Hey Jenny. Hadn't seen you in a long time."
Jenny stared at him, and her face started to feel red. "Hey," She replied. "It's been months since I've seen you, Andrew."
"Yeah, it's been months since I've seen you." He repeated.
The two just stood there, looking at each other, and then staring at the ground for a few moments. There was an awkward silence. Jenny broke the mold as she said, "Thanks for having my back there. I wouldn't be injured if it wasn't for you."
"Yeah, no problem," Andrew replied.
"You two! Get over here! Look me in the eyes! Tell me your names!" George ordered harshly at the two boys.
In the panic, the fox said, "My name is uh… Naruto. The one next to me is um… um…."
"Kiba! It's Kiba!" The poochyena blurted out in fear.
"Well, Naruto, Kiba, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! You would've been hurt, or killed! You're lucky you two aren't hurt in any way!" George scowled.
Naruto and Kiba, in fear, started to bow to George, and cried, "We're sorry! We don't do this again! Please don't hurt us!"
George glared at the two for a long time, and left the kitchen, growled, "You better be! Where's the rest of your friends? We have to get back to the guild. The master wants you."
Naruto and Kiba started to follow the pangoro, shivering in fear and started to shed out some tears. Behind them, Jenny stood in complete surprise and shock. "Wow, all this time and George hadn't changed one bit. At least we know he has a good heart." Jenny replied.
"Yeah, but he's intimidating alright," Andrew sighed. "C'mon, let's get going. It's time you've seen our master. It's been a year since you've seen him."
