Hello readers! I would like to thank Kingdom Infinite for reviewing the previous chapter, foxchick1 for commenting on chapter five as well as following, and M-Preg Angel for favoriting! Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Disclaimer: I do not own any aspect of Pokémon or Naruto. They belong to their respective owners. I only own this and every other story I have.

Zorua looked uncertain. "Well, I choose..."

The parent knelt down and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm okay with whatever you want to do, as long as you are safe."

The cub smiled. "Thanks Meema!" He then turned back to the leader. "In that case, I want to stay here; I can see the world at any other time but I believe that I'll never get to experience what I've been through today if I left!"

The crowd erupted into cheers as Tsunade beamed. "That's great! You two will be a great contribution to this village but first..." she extracted a pair of bands which appeared identical to what the shinobi wore, "you both need to wear these forehead protectors to signify your allegiance to Konoha."

The cub stared at the twin articles in confusion. "Forehead...protectors? I don't want to wear that because I like being able to hear properly!"

The woman chuckled. "You don't necessarily have to wear them on your forehead."

"I could wear it like a collar?!" The kit's eyes widened in delight.

"If that's what you want." The kunoichi tied the cloth around the fox's neck before handing it to the elder who did it herself.

"Yay!" He glanced at the piece of clothing in pride before facing his guardian. "Come on, Meema!"

"Okay." The mother scooped up her son and dropped him into her mane.

"Where are you going?!" The Hokage pressed.

The prankster popped out of the untamed mess, grinning. "I'm tired and I want to rest up. Don't worry; I'll be back!"

"See you later!" Naruto exclaimed as the gathering uttered their farewells to their savior.

The pup waved his arms excitedly as Zoroark retreated into the forest. "BYE!"

"Why?! Why?!"

"Shut up, usuratonkachi!"

Naruto and Sasuke had been sent on another task right after the latter had filled out the paperwork concerning his two most recent objectives. Rumor had it that a strange group was wandering the premises and it was their job to gather details about the bunch and stop them if deemed a threat.

"Aww, why were we sent on such a boring mission?" The blond whined. "For all we know, the 'rogues' could be a bunch of genin!"

The raven sighed in frustration. "We don't know that, dobe! That's why we were even sent; to discover who they are!" He rubbed his temples, clearly exasperated. "Why did Tsunade pair you with me and not Sakura?! At least she's bearable unlike a certain someone I know." The Uchiha glared at his partner.

"It's because I'm better than you!" The flaxen boasted as he gestured to himself with hubris. "After all, I'm going to be the next Hokage!"

"Next Hokage?" The swordsman scoffed. "Why would the council appoint an idiot to manage Konoha's affairs?!"

"WHAT! AT LEAST I'M STRONGER!"

The other tsked. "Yeah right."

"Wanna bet?" The Kyuubi holder abruptly pointed to the pond they were standing near. "Whosever jutsu can reach the other side of the lake...wins."

The latter smirked. "You're on, but don't cry when you lose."

"That's my line!" Naruto berated before holding a hand high above his head. A huge azure sphere immediately manifested, towering high above them both. "Chōōdama Rasengan!" He then hurled the orb, the globe flying past the body before approaching the designated spot. However, the caster deactivated the technique with a clench of his fist before turning to the companion, a proud grin on his face. "Four seconds! Believe it!"

His opponent snorted indifferently before concentrating on the pool. As blood streamed from the competitor's changed pupil, the aqua spontaneously combusted in black flames that immediatly reached the end before smugly dispelling the blaze with a wave of his hand. "Mine was instantaneously. I win." He grinned as he extracted a napkin to wipe off the liquid.

The loser's eyes bugged wide. "CHEATER!"

The victor smirked. "Yeah right. You never said that I couldn't use my Eternal Mangekyō Sharigan, usuratonkachi."

"SHUT UP!" The blond's ears spontaneously perked. "Who's there?!" He abruptly spun around to search for the source. An azure sheen suddenly surrounded the duo, picking them off of the ground. "What?!"

His partner grunted. "I can't move."

The flaxen made to swivel his neck to face his friend only to find himself immobile. "What's going on!"

"This isn't good." The Bijuu growled.

'What's happeni—'

A procession of cackles could be heard, snapping the boy's attention away from his thoughts as the sources made themselves known. A blunet male who bore emerald eyes which contrasted with an alabaster uniform consisted of a white shirt centering a crimson R and matching pants that were complimented by gainsboro gloves and boots stood to the right of a woman who wore the same outfit save for having a blouse which exposed her stomach above a pearl skirt over grey stockings all below cerulean hues as well as magenta locks that stretched far out and next to a bipedal neko who grew beige fur tinted copper at its feet, the tip of its curled tail and the insides of its pointed ears which were beside antennae that set off a golden striated clip which were identical to its whiskers near slitted lavender irises close to a huge mouth all on a large, ovular head. Another rustle resounded, a cryptic kraken who branched porcelain legs and lilac arms carrying a hint of violet from a purple body dotted with yellow spots all below a colony of tentacles over a ruby beak revealing itself as it stepped out, glaring with irises which glowed identically to the force that held the two up.

"That's right, Karamanero; keep up the Psychic!" The man exclaimed before leering at the victims. "Hand over all of your Pokémon, now!"

"Pokémon?" Sasuke sneered. "We don't have any."

The cat laughed. "Don't fool around! Where else could that humongous Hidden Power and infernal Will-O-Wisp have come from?"

"We don't have any." The Uchiha repeated.

"Then you twerps will stay like this before we take you hostage!" The feline snickered before huddling up with his teammates.

Naruto glanced at his counterpart. "Can't we just break free with some jutsus?" He whispered harshly after making sure their captors were too occupied to hear them.

"As if." The raven snarled. "We can't move our hands; no seals, no jutsus."

"Then could you at least cast them under a genjutsu?"

The latter growled. "I would be able to...if I could make eye contact with them but I can't since I'm facing the opposite direction from them. Because of that, I also can't use Amaterasu on them either. Tell me, what do they look like?" The blond described the villains to his partner, the listener remaining silent until he had finished. "I guess this gang is the one we're supposed to gather intel on. Based on what you've told me, they seem to be from Zorua's world especially since they thought what we did earlier was the work of Pokémon."

"I wish he was here right now." The boy grumbled.

"We've come to a conclusion!" The female declared. "You tell us where those Pokémon are and I'll tell Karamanero over there," she pointed to the squid, "to release you."

"I've already told you; we...have...none!" The swordsman barked.

The lady shook her head in disappointment. "Then we just have to search you. Karamanero, remove all of their possessions!"

A blur suddenly came into view and slammed into the mollusk, knocking it into a tree before it could comply. The creature was rendered unconscious, the spell casted on the shinobi disappearing as the targets landed on their feet.

"What was that?!" The fulvous shrilled as he was grounded.

"AHHHH!" The malignants shrieked as they discovered the cause. "NOT THAT!" The savior was dark green with a tan underside and had large brown eyes above a small mouth that were set in a determined look with yellow accents highlighting them. The markings trailed down its face and neck to two vestigial limbs that had an appearance of a collar—that were located above its short real limbs—and connected into a trail that led to its tail. A huge leaf that appeared to be of ivy was the limb's feature, being as large as its head. The arrival stood its ground, bulb lighted a verdant glow as it glared menacingly at the guilty. "THAT'S THE BRAT'S TSUTAAJA! IT JUST USED LEAF BLADE TO DEFEAT KARAMANERO WITH ONLY ONE STRIKE!"

"Tsutaaja...Zorua mentioned that Pokémon before." The genius mused.

"Wha?" The other observed the serpent's orbs. "They do look like your Sharingan."

"GET AWAY!" The kitten screamed. "WE'VE HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH! I WASN'T ABLE TO WALK FOR WEEKS THANKS TO YOU!"

The ivy snake smirked. "Taaja?"

"What did the twerp's tsutaaja just say?!" The sole demanded. "Not all of us speak Pokémon after all!"

The one in question quivered in fear. "'Are you scared of a little revenge for all you've done to my trainer?'. That's what it just said!"

"Let's capture it!" The ginger announced as she held up a gun and fired a succession of snares at the mentioned. The target smirked before flicking her frond, sending a round of bracts flying toward the sniper in retaliation which seamlessly diced the cables. "That Razor Leaf sliced through the ropes..."

"Taa?"

"'You thought you could subdue me with a petty trap?'" The biped glowered. "For your information, I spent an eternity on formulating the best material to create the maximum strength for the nets! They can withstand anything!"

The squamata appeared smug. "Ta? Tsu-jaa?"

"'Oh? Then how come I used a simple Razor Leaf, a move with only fifty-five percent power and ninety-five percent accuracy, to render them useless?'"

"I don't know about you...but I'm not staying around to be pulverized by that Kusa no Hebi again!" The guy decreeded as he fled, his partners shortly joining him. He then extracted a Pokéball and pointed it at the motionless form. "Karamanero, return!" The trainer pressed a knob on the device, issuing a red laser which dematerialized the target before the beam retracted into its source. As he stashed the sphere, the blunet clicked a button on a remote he withdrew, summoning a balloon that took on the appearance of the feline from the air. The trinity leapt into the green basket before making a hasty getaway.

The Grass Snake smiled. "Ja."

From above, the Pokémon grunted in confusion. "'Or so you think'? What do you mean by that?"

"Ta."

"'This'?"

With a sweep of her tail, a flurry of colored cotyledons were manifested and flew toward the contraption.

"Get away!" The lady commanded to the domestic who controlled the machine.

"There's no point; that's Magical Leaf, a move with sixty percent power and NEVER MISSES!" The attack impaled the rubber, creating a hole in the fabric. However, before the transport could whizz out of control, the assaulter called upon a pair of slender appendages from her collar and used them to latch into the handles. The summoner then yanked them toward herself, causing her enemies to be brought down without opposition. As she pulled away her limbs, the basket crashed onto the ground near the protagonists, the vehicle decimating in a terrifying explosion as it made contact with the ground.

"Snakes coming out of a snake?! That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen!" The whiskered commented.

"No, you're wrong." The translator rasped as his group emerged from the ruins albeit sustaining many scratches. "It used Vine Whip, a grass-type move with a power of thirty-five percent and one hundred percent accuracy that calles upon vines, not snakes, from the user's body to inflict damage! Sheesh, where did you come up with that idea; that's ridiculous!"

As soon as the antagonists had fully climbed out, the serpent narrowed her pupils at them. An obscure shadow crept out of the creature to manifest into a piercing cyclops before a swarm of malevolent orbs spontaneously popped out of nowhere, spelling a dark aura onto the intended.

"W-What happened?!" The sapphire hued whimpered.

"I'm outta here!" The anthropoid voiced as he made a beeline for the foliage only to run into an invisible barrier. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

The caster approached her foes, hands on her hips. "Ta? Taaja!"

"'Do you not know what I just did earlier? I used Mean Look!' AHHH!" The furry shrieked. "MEAN LOOK?!"

"What's 'Mean Look'?" The female demanded, arms crossed in expectation.

"IT'S A DARK-TYPE MOVE IN WHICH THE USER GIVES 'THE EVIL EYE', TRAPPING ITS TARGETS WITH A VICIOUS GLARE!"

The cause smirked. "Ja. Tsutaa."

"'That's correct. The only way to lift my Mean Look is for us to battle until one side is rendered unconscious.'" The multilingual wobbled on his feet, unable to keep still at the horrific revelation. "BATTLE?! WE HAVE TO FIGHT YOU?!"

Her lips widened into a grin. "Ta."

"'Yep'? NOOO!" The kitten nearly fainted on the spot.

"HEY!" The trio's attention was drawn toward the blond. "WHO ARE YOU ANYWAYS?!"

The trio beamed sinisterly, the fear instantly washing off of their forms.

"New faces I see? Prepare for trouble!" The woman announced while closing her eyes and placing both hands on her chest in a boastful fashion.

"Make it double!" The man added with a rose mysteriously materializing in his hand.

"To protect the world from devestation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!" The ginger screamed.

"James!" The blunet followed just as passionately.

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Nyarth! That's right!" The three fell into a rehearsed pose after that.

The ninjas exchanged glances, not knowing what to think but the expression on the reptile's visage was entirely different; a large sweat drop hung from her temples as she crossed her arms. "Tsutaa. Jaa-Taa? Jaa."

A tick mark grew predominant on the Scratch Cat's forehead. "Why you little..."

"What did that Kusa no Hebi just say to get you so riled up?" The jaded pressed, brow quirked.

The speaker faced his accomplice, eyes ablaze. "'YOUR INTROS JUST GET LAMER AND LAMER EVERY TIME. CAN'T YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING LESS STUPID? YOU THREE ARE SO VAIN TO FEEL THE NEED TO POSE AFTER EVERY SENTENCE.' THAT BRAT! I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S LAME...ONCE I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!" The infuriated retracted lengthy claws from each finger, the talons emitting a malicious violet. "COWER BEFORE MY NIGHT SLASH!" He batted his paws, aiming to tear flesh.

His opponent effortless evaded each swing as she smiled slyly. "Taa. Jaa?"

The enemy roared in a fury. "'PATHETIC. YOU CAN'T EVEN THROW A NIGHT SLASH EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ACCURACY?' KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, KUSA NO HEBI! ONCE MY ATTACK GOES THROUGH, YOU'LL TAKE TONS OF DAMAGE SINCE DARK-TYPE MOVES ARE EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE AGAINST YOUR KIND!"

The ivy snake bursted into laughter as her opponent kept at his feeble attempts. "Ta? Taajaa! Taaja! Tsutaa!"

A vein bulged from his skull. "'Effective? If I am a ghost or psychic-type it would be...but I'm a grass-type; dark-type moves deal a normal amount of damage against me! Your knowledge of types is infinitesimal! I bet I could beat you in one hit with a move that would normally deal no damage against you!'" The feline grimaced. "I'd like to see you try!"

The verdant's lips curled upward. "Ta..." The endotherm pulled back a clenched hand, manifesting a violaceous fist before launching it.

"'You'll regret saying that...'? Yeah right!" The attack disappeared into thin air. "Hahaha! Missed me! Missed me! Nananana—" All of a sudden, the duke reappeared and hit Nyarth square in the jaw. His head rocked back, and he was sent flying into a stray sand dune. When the dust cleared up, his eyes were swirls, and his mouth hung open, mumbling incoherent phrases.

"Huh! What was that?" Jessie exclaimed in absolute shock.

James answered her. "That was Shadow Punch, a ghost-type move with a power of sixty percent. It never misses; however, Nyarth shouldn't have been affected since he is a normal-type. All I can guess is that the twerp's tsutaaja is correct; his type match up is so poor that he was affected and defeated by an attack that under normal circumstances shouldn't have damaged him."

"That's ridiculous! In any matter, we must stop that serpent!"

"I agree! We must avenge Nyarth!"

"Koromori, Pururiru, Dokucale!..."

"Desumasu, Morobareru!"

"I choose you!" Both exclaimed at the same time.

Five palm-sized balls with red tops and white bottoms were thrown into the air. They opened, white beams emerging from all of them. A pentad of distinct creatures emerged from the lights. The first one was covered with white hair, a large heart-shaped nose appearing from the mass, and had small wings. The second was pink all over, lighter around the crown on its head and its five tentacles. It had light blue eyes and a prideful smirk. The third one had lily-like wings, four red legs tucked into its purple body, and yellow antennae above equally fulvous eyes. The fourth was black all over except the area around its corneas, which was accented a burnt orange. It had large arms and a mask-like object hanging from its tail. The last Pokémon summoned had a large cap-like head and twin shields as hands that had the appearance of the spheres that were thrown, except tan replaced the white. It had small eyes and a pink mouth. All were set to battle.

"Pururiru, use Psychic on Tsutaaja!" The redhead announced as she pointed straight at her target.

"Puruuu." The squid chanted as it unleashed its telepathic power. Suddenly, a blue aura surrounded the grass-type, lifting her off the ground. Being caught in its grip, the snake couldn't move no matter how hard she tried.

"Hahaha! Now you're trapped. Even the mighty Tsutaaja is helpless if it can't move!" Jessie taunted. "Now follow with Ice Beam! Koromori, use Air Slash! Dokucale, use Silver Wind!"

"Morobareru, use Sludge Wave! Desumasu, use Will-O-Wisp!" James continued.

Straight away, all the mentioned Pokémon charged up their attacks.

"Unlike Nyarth, we know all of your weaknesses; after all, grass-types are weak against fire, ice, flying, poison, and bug type moves, aren't they! Now that you are about to be hit with all of them, you will take severe damage!" The woman laughed hysterically.

Naruto gasped. "Isn't that what Karamanero used on us earlier?!"

Sasuke grunted. "Yeah. I wonder how she'll react to this..."

"Taaaaaa..." Her tail began gathering light, glowing white. Instantaneously, a sphere of energy formed between her hands.

"Jaaaaa!" The snake screamed as she fired the stored power. It hit Pururiru dead on, stopping it from successfully firing its attack and breaking its curse. The mollusk fell back, knocked down.

Being freed, the squamata gracefully evaded every hit that was meant for her. Avoiding the possibly serious damage, she focused on retaliation. The snake inhaled deeply, breathing out a conflagration that took on the shape of the kanji symbol of fire. The columns collided with the fungus, incinerating it out of awareness. Not skipping a beat, the serpent contracted, screaming as she released a huge quantity of electricity into the atmosphere. The lightning struck the bat, electrocuting and causing it to fall from the sky. Straight afterwards, sharp rocks surrounded the ivy affinity and launched themselves at Dokucale, causing it to go cross-eyed. Glancing at Desumasu, she propelled herself in the ghost's direction opened her jaws wide. She chomped hard into its flesh, eliciting a cry of agony before it plummeted to the land below.

"SolarBeam, Fire Blast, Thunder, Stone Edge, Crunch...the first four all have one hundred and twenty percent power while the last two have one hundred and eighty percent respectively. I would like to know as to how that Kusa no Hebi could use such powerful moves consecutively without tiring..." The blunet muttered.

"It doesn't matter!" The magenta exclaimed. "We need to capture it to increase our ranks and take over the world!"

"Take over the world?" The blond echoed.

The Uchiha growled. "They're up to no good."

The villains smirked as they extracted a myriad of Pokéballs and threw them into the air...
