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

The relinquished continued waving them off even as they disappeared into the horizon.

"Where to next?"

The remaining six ceased in their journey as they reached an open field, deciding what to do from there.

"Shouldn't we be getting back, dobe?" Sasuke huffed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Naruto frowned. "You spoilsport! I want to see more of the Pokémon World!"

"I feel the same way." The pair was slightly surprised as Roxas stepped up. "After all, all Axel and I saw was basically forest every time we came here prior."

The pyro nodded, confirming the statement. "That's true."

"Oh! Oh!" Zorua bounced up and down, drawing all attention to himself. "Why not go to Castelia City?! I always wanted to go there!"

"It's a nice place for sure." Tsutaaja added in, smiling. "Ash went there to win the Insect Badge from Burgh. While we were there, we explored the place and it's definitely a sight to see. It's located in south central Unova and is said to be the largest city in the region. We're actually not that far from there."

"Alright!" The Uzumaki turned towards his partner, hands clasped together as if he was begging. "Please teme? It sounds like fun! PLEASE?!"

The Uchiha scoffed. "Stop that; you look stupider than usual." He ignored the pout directed at him as he sighed. "Fine."

"YAY!" The raven tried but failed to avoid the crushing hug he was forced in.

The target groaned in frustration. "Usuratonkachi!"

"Okay then." The blond released his friend as the serpent took the lead, moving west as the others followed. "Let's go!"

"Whoa!"

A myriad of skyscrapers rose high above the paved roads, leaving those who witnessed the spectacle in awe. The ports surrounding the edifices were crowded with boats of all sorts. The grandeur of the metropolis made it stand out from every other place the group had ever went to within the realm.

The fox was struck speechless by the beauty. After a few moments, he finally managed to regain his voice. "Amazing! It's even better than I thought it would be!"

"Wow!" The flaxen couldn't help but gape.

His partner was no better albeit expressing it differently. "Hn."

"It reminds me of some of the worlds I've went to in how sprawling it is!" The samurai piped.

The assassin smiled. "Sure does."

"Well this is the heart of business and economy within the Unova region." The snake shrugged before taking a few steps forward and breaking into a full-out run. "Wait 'til you see the inside!"

"Wow!"

The streets were bustling with people, making it seem as if it never rested. Shops were strewn throughout the space, advertising all sorts of products.

"Yep." The verdant agreed as she led them deeper into the heart of the municipality. "Today's Tuesday, isn't it?"

The sable scoffed. "So? What does that have to do with anything?"

"Wait! I know!" The kit perked up, wagging his tail wildly. "Casteliacones! YAY!"

"Casteliacones?! You mean ice-cream?!" The nod the tawny received caused him to light up. "I want some!"

"Is there a Sea Salt variety?" Roxas pressed.

Axel chuckled. "I knew you would say that." He hummed. "I would like some too."

"Count me out." Of course it had to be Sasuke who grunted. "I hate sweets, remember?"

"There are other flavors too, you know." The reptile huffed, crossing her arms. "Besides, it's not just a cold treat; it has the ability to heal every status condition the consumer has, from poisoning to freezing."

"First berries and now ice-cream." The skeptical rubbed his temples. "How is that even possible?"

She groaned in frustration. "Why do you keep on questioning what I'm telling you? Do you think I would trick you?"

"It's not like I know you that well." That went a bit too far.

The Uzumaki stormed towards his partner, grasping the front of his shirt. "TEME! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!"

The ex-agents cut in. "Believe me, we've been together for quite some time and we know that she would never do that." The younger spoke.

"Trust him; he doesn't lie." The pyro backed him up.

"Don't you remember what happened with Mizuotokonoko earlier?!" The canine barked out, indignant. "Geez! You need to trust people more!"

The accuser tched. "Fine...I take back what I said."

"Teme, same as always; you can't just say a simple 'sorry'." He released his teammate, huffing.

The squamata shut her eyes. "If you don't believe me, you can always read a book on the healing properties of medical items; Casteliacones are there too."

"Hn."

"Come on! What are we standing here for?!" Zorua was back to his energetic self, bouncing about. "Let's go get some Casteliacones!"

"Sea Salt please!"

Tsutaaja had brought them to the spot, the six waiting in the line like everyone else before them. In the meantime, she gave them some money for spending; Munny and the shinobi's currency would not be accepted after all. She waved off any attempts to be compensated; it was not like she needed the cash anyways. After a long while of delay, the group was finally up.

The assassin stepped up to the counter. "Make that eight." The younger gave him a strange look. "What? We need some to-go as well, right?" Three scoops of the requested item were placed in each container before being presented to the two Nobodies.

After the order had been fulfilled and paid, the tanned went ahead. "I want two Oranges!"

"...Green Tea."

The blond pouted. "You're no fun." He was promptly ignored.

The bunch walked off upon finishing their orders. The pair gave the Pokémon their share—the metamorphose turning into Himeguma in the process in order to be able to hold them—and they all stored the extras before commencing to savor their treats.

"Ahh, this reminds me of the times at the Clock Tower." Roxas mused.

Axel smiled. "Same here!" He glanced down at the fox. "How's the flavor?"

The fennec beamed. "Mmm! Salty but sweet! No wonder you guys like Sea Salt so much!"

"Is it that good?"

The serpent faced the Uzumaki. "Why don't you try some for yourself?" Extending a vine, she took some of her own share before placing it on top of the other's.

Naruto licked the sample, eyes widening upon tasting it. "Wow! This is awesome!" He turned to his companion. "Try some, teme!"

The addressed grunted, unwilling. "If it has a little bit of sweetness in it, I'll hate it."

"Stubborn." The snake chastised. She grabbed some more of her own, holding it out to the obstinate. "Why don't you try it first before passing judgement?"

Sasuke stared at the offering before sighing. "Katte ni shiro." He reluctantly accepted it, evaluating it for himself. After a few moments, he shrugged. "I guess it's not too bad."

"See? I told you!" The reptile smirked before going to eat some more.

The hexad strolled, walking in silence as they ate. Once they had finished, they threw their trash away. Upon stopping, the six had arrived in a circular stretch of terrain covered in lush trees that was divided into several sections by a multitude of trails which all ended at a circular path. From where they were, a clear blue lake could be seen, providing a nice contrast to the green grass. All in all, it was a breathtaking sight. Zorua spoke up as he reverted. "What is this place?"

"It's the Central Plaza." The female whispered. "To believe a place like this can exist within such a bustling city; incredible."

"Hey you!" A random boy called out to the bunch, catching their attention as he was followed by a girl. The kid pointed at the Nobodies. "I challenge you to a Pokémon Battle!"

His companion joined in. "We're here to get the Insect Badge from Burgh so we need some opponents to practice with!"

"Umm...Tsutaaja and Zorua are the only Pokémon we have on us right now." Roxas explained.

The lad shrugged. "No problem! We'll just have two one-on-one battles simultaneously!" The pair took out a Pokéball each and threw them into the air, bright flashes of light bursting out as the creatures within emerged. A tall, tan bipedal insect sporting crimson hues below twin antenna ending in hemispheres that was covered in leaves appeared beside a giant grey quadrupedal behemoth which had crimson spikes protruding from all over its body. "Since we saw your Pokémon, we'll let you see ours. We'll take some time to strategize and you both can too; just meet us at the pond!" The four went ahead, leaving the sestet behind.

As soon as they were out of earshot, the Uchiha huffed. "Why didn't you object? They're a bunch of strangers after all."

"That wouldn't be nice." The samurai countered. "Besides, how would we have explained it if we refused? We can't say that Tsutaaja and Zorua aren't our Pokémon; they'd get suspicious."

The ginger crossed his arms. "What do we even do? Roxas and I have never participated in a Pokémon Battle before."

"You basically command our actions and reactions." The serpent explained. "You tell us what moves we use and all that."

"But both of you can fight pretty well yourselves!" The light elemental exclaimed.

The ectotherm huffed. "If we fight ourselves, it would seem as if either we are disobedient or our trainers are incompetent. Usually both." She sighed. "I'll tell you which moves I can use; I don't want to draw attention to myself for being an 'abnormal' tsutaaja."

"Same here!" The former agents crouched to the creatures' height, listening as they whispered into their ears.

"One more thing." The reptile added. "We'll have to communicate via Pokémonese to you both instead of utilizing Telepathy since talking normally would give our strategies away." She glimpsed at the fox before glancing at the ex-members. "Are you fine with that?"

"I'm fine with that!" The kit suddenly became uncertain. "But how would they understand us?"

The teen stepped in. "We can due to being able to comprehend lesser Nobodies."

"Then it's settled!" The adult declared. "Now let's go; we can't keep them waiting any longer!"

"Battle begin!"

The group met up with the duo, arriving at the designated area. Axel stood across from the boy as Roxas was to the girl, preparing to face off.

"I can't wait to see this!" The Jinchūriki exclaimed, absolutely excited.

The stoic shrugged. "Hn."

"Hahakomori, String Shot!"

"Dodge!" The snake evaded the thread, dashing forward. "Counter with Aerial Ace!"

"Oh no!" The maiden cried. "That move's x4 effective since Hahakomori's a grass/bug type!" She turned to the phasmida. "Pry it off with X-Scissor!" The arthropod crossed its limbs together, arms glowing as it advanced.

"Defend yourself! Vine Whip!" Twin appendages shot forward, wrapping around the attacker's wrists and ceasing the offense.

The verdant smirked. "Taa..."

"'Not bad'...huh?" The adolescent smiled. 'Although she probably isn't going at full power; the match would have been over in an instant.'

"Zor!"

Axel nodded. "Right! Zorua, transform into Kojondo!" The metamorphose jumped, a violet light overtaking him as he shifted into a white weasel bearing amethyst hues and purple patches across his crown, lids, hands, waist, the area below his knees ending at clawed feet, and tip of his tail as well as beige ones on his whiskers. The 'stoat' took a fighting stance, anticipating his foe.

"It doesn't matter if Zorua became Kojondo; my Gigaiath won't lose!" He faced his companion. "It's still a dark-type so fighting-type moves are still effective! Use Rock Smash!"

"Zor!"

The ginger nodded. "Dodge and retaliate with Aura Sphere!"

"What?!" The mammal did just that before forming an azure globe, launching it at the target. The orb collided, striking successfully. "Since when can Zorua use Aura Sphere?!"

The elder grinned. "My Zorua is special; it can use the moves of the Pokémon it transforms into!"

"Like a Metamon?!" The child exclaimed in disbelief. "No way!" He regained his composure. "Even if your Zorua is different, my Gigaiath is no pushover; its ability is Sturdy so it won't be easy to knock it out!"

The older was shocked. "What?!"

"I didn't expect that!" Naruto declared.

Sasuke frowned. "There's more than what meets the eye you know, dobe."

"Taa!" The serpent rubbed her temples.

'I can't believe what he said as well!' The windswept thought, agreeing with the snake. He turned to the lass. "Let's continue!"

A few clouds that had partially covered the sky suddenly parted, bathing the ground below in warm light. The phylliidae spontaneously started shining a bright green, crying into the heavens as the glow intensified. The owner beamed. "My Hahakomori's ability is Chlorophyll; in sunny conditions, its speed will be doubled!" She pointed at it. "X-Scissor once more!" The enchanced moved twice as swiftly as before, its movements on a whole new level.

"Jaa?"

'A bit more of a challenge now, huh?' The blond shook his head, smiling. His focus returned to the spectacle at hand. "Dodge and slow it down using Leaf Storm!" The selected rapidly moved out of the way, a tornado of sepals manifesting around her before the fronds were launched, knocking the opponent back a considerable distance. "You Pokémon isn't the only one that benefits from strong sunlight; Tsutaaja becomes faster too!"

"Wow! Not bad! Not only has your Pokémon become faster as well, its Leaf Storm sure packed a punch despite being only one-fourth effective!" The girl cried. "Tsutaaja is powerful!"

'More so than you know.' The boy smiled. "Thanks!"

She crossed her arms. "This match isn't over yet!" She stared at her comrade who exchanged the gaze. "Hahakomori, Fell Stinger!" The commanded homed in on the squamata, power accumulating in its limbs as it lunged forward.

"Don't let them strike you!" The serpent did just that, easily evading the swipes before leaping behind its head. "Energy Ball!" The emerald sphere was launched, catching the other by surprise. "SolarBeam!" The verdant harnessed photons from the ball of gas above, shooting a potent ray from her snout.

"It's too fast!" The trainer warned. "Guard with X-Scissor!" The insect crossed its offshoots in front of itself, utilizing the strengthened limbs to protect itself. Despite being pushed quite a bit, it was able to endure the attempt. The female cheered. "Alright!" She then grinned. "Retaliate with Leaf Blade!"

"Counter with your own!" The bug's hands were shrouded in a green haze as the other's tip was too, the identical attacks clashing midair. The pair struggled, each trying to gain dominance. "Don't let up!"

"Break through!"

"Rock Slide!" Gigantic boulders rained from above, all aimed at the 'weasel'.

Axel rapidly analyzed the situation before reacting. "Use Superpower to destroy those obstacles and hit Gigaiath!" The metamorphose obeyed as he aquired a crimson aura, slicing the outcrops into pieces before chopping at the behemoth's cranium.

"Didn't I say that it was no pushover?" The kid taunted, smirking. "Show that mimic who's boss! Use your own Superpower!" The creature gained on the fox, covering itself with the same kind of offense.

Axel looked down at the assaulter, an idea popping into his mind. He grinned as he glanced at the kit who was frozen in fear. "Snap out of it! Aim a Low Kick at its feet!" Upon hearing the instructions, the canine obeyed, sweeping a leg at its base as it drew near. The victim lost its balance, toppling over and canceling the move. "Land a Power-Up Punch while it's stunned!"

"Iron Defense!"

"What?!" The target hardened into steel, hurting the 'stoat's' fist.

The gainsboro took the opportunity to get up as the injured tended to his paw. "Power Gem!" A colorful blast cannoned out of the silver's skull, picking the victim right from the terrain.

"Zorua!"

The child smiled smugly. "Rock Smash once more!"

"I can't let it end like this..." A bulb literally went on in the assassin's head as an thought flashed by. "Force Palm!" A prominent burst shot out of his wrist, blowing the foe away.

The bairn was shocked. "Whoa!"

"I know." The elder shrugged, casual about what had just occurred.

The youth snarled. "Not yet!" He screamed. "Gigaiath, Stone Edge!"

"Incinerate those rocks with Focus Blast!" The giant bullet was fired, disintegrating the debris.

The minor growled. "Oh yeah? Sand Attack!" Dirt was tossed up, clouding the space.

"I don't think so! Bounce!" The mammal leapt high into the air, avoiding the cloud of dust. "Vital Throw!" Using the move against the employer, the shifter took the opponent by surprise, tossing it high up. "Hi Jump Kick!" A glowing knee was brought down, inflicting more damage. The quarry was launched even more up.

The boy cupped his mouth. "We can't let it end here! I believe in you!" Upon hearing those words, the distraught regained its balance, now dropping in a controlled manner. "Finish this! Show them your Superpower!"

"Grasp victory for yourself! Show then your Superpower as well!" The two complied, both radiating a crimson aura. The pair clashed, the area becoming obscure as soil was made airborne.

"Leaf Storm!"

"Fight on Hahakomori! Display your own Leaf Storm!" The bout earlier had ended in a draw, repelling the battlers. The grass-types manifested their own fronds, launching them at each other. An explosion ensued as the matter collided, shrouding the primacy.

The Uzumaki was astonished. "What happened just now?!"

"Who knows?" The Uchiha questioned, unsure himself.

The area finally cleared, revealing that both the insect and behemoth were rendered unconscious.
