"Important info" - Legends/Mythical Pokémon Talking
The early morning sunlight, soft and diffuse, gives way to the first strong rays of the day that bring genuine warmth. In this light, water evaporates in slow waves, waves that eddy in the gentle breeze, flowing upward to white-puffed clouds, ships of white in the blue above. The opera from the trees becomes all the more powerful as if these golden rays are their conductor's wand, and together, they are the song that calls forth the spring.
An explosion seared the air and earth, making the nearby Fletchlings and Rattata scatter in fear from the deafening sound around the once peaceful meadow.
A blur of green and yellow zoomed across the field, trading blows, trying to overpower one another. The green blur steadily tries to overpower the yellow blur. The green blur kicked the yellow flash with full force at the last moment. Missing the slippery yellow shadow, it followed up with one of its hands glowing white, ready to karate chop his opponent.
"Wow, Saber, is that all you got? Have you been slacking off with your training again?" a voice called out the green Pokémon that flexed its claws readily to attack.
The Forest Pokémon flashed forward, leaving behind an afterimage of itself as it shot toward the taunting voice.
The yellow flash didn't move but continued to wait on The Forest Pokémon. Bright blond bangs muted the bright sunshine, but he saw Saber flash toward him. He blocked the first punch easily. After raising Saber from a Treecko and training with Nova for years, the teen was familiar with the Forest Pokémon style and more aware of using all 6 of his senses at once. A kick, he blocked with downward arms. He ducked the next glowing punch and then used his right arm to block a kick to his head. Naruto never attacked, only blocked Saber's hits. It was obvious to him that the Forest Pokémon's strength had increased.
Saber narrowed his eyes at the blond.
'He's playing with me!'
He threw a few more punches and several kicks but backed off when the teen did nothing but defend himself.
Naruto gave another small smile and shrugged.
"Sorry, I needed to warm up. Ready?" He didn't wait for an answer but stepped forward quickly, landed a kick in Saber's stomach before he could counter, and sent the green Pokémon flying.
The group of Pokémon watched as the grass type hit the ground and rolled, landing several feet away. He got to one knee, coughing, and holding his striped belly. The Forest Pokémon stood shakily and looked up at the blond teen who had taken the stance he'd begun with.
A warmup? Okay then… Saber knelt down, arching it back and ready to start once again.
'I'll fight power with speed!' The grass type pushed off with enough speed to create a small crater. When he raced forward, he saw that Naruto was smiling at him.
Saber's full-force tackle connected, and the blond was again sent flying back. The teen skidded back a few feet but still had a big grin. He flashed forward to sweep kick the grass type, then repeated Saber's attacks only in reverse. The teen never intended for the low kick to knock the grass type down but to send him in the air for a spinning kick. His kick connected, and Saber was again sent flying back. The reptilian Pokémon was headed for a group of Pokémon, watching the spar begin to scatter out of the way, but the yellow blur ran ahead of the grass type's speeding body. When Saber finally reached him, Naruto's eyes glowed bright blue as a light blue glow outlined Saber's being. It became frozen under the young Uzumaki's control.
Saber's body hovered several inches away from the ground. The Forest Pokémon held its arms to yield to the bright-eyed teen as he stared down at the grass type in worry. The teen grinned as he held up his hands in victory and released the Forest Pokémon from his telepathic control; he adjusted his black gloves when he walked back to the center of the field.
"Those sparring sessions with that pink-haired Fighting gym leader have been paying off." Nova nodded to his students as he passed the blond a towel to cool off. Naruto pouted as he glanced at his guardian in describing the Fighting-Type specialist.
"Oh, come on, Nova, you know her name, but yeah, your right; I'm happy I got a chance to train and learn from Maylene for a while back then when we were in Sinnoh." The blond went over to his pack by a lone tree stump to sit down to take a break while also fiddling with his X-transceiver, thinking about maybe contacting the Veilstone City's Gym to ask for some advice for more practice in more diverse hand-to-hand combat styles.
Naruto already revealed himself in his black leather jacket while sporting a burnt orange tank top, which showed his impressive developing arms and showed an outline of a 6-pack forming.
The other newer Pokémon Naruto caught gazed at their blond trainer in astonishment, fascination, and love (Neon) at the quick outcome. A human going toe to toe with a Pokémon as an opponent was hard enough to believe. Not only could he speak to them, but apparently, Naruto could move and use powers that Pokémon could use. 'Guess he just showed us that all those muscles aren't just for show!'
Before anyone could speak, Thor walked forward, cracking his knuckles.
"All warmed up, Naruto. I hope so because I don't plan on letting you get the better of me this time!" Thor narrowed his eyes at his trainer, ready to take him on next.
Naruto looked up from his X-transceiver before letting out his famous smile. "Yeah, I'm all good to go. Alright, what have you got for me, Thor?" He rotated his neck and flexed his shoulders.
Before the group could start the match, a Riolu sprinted out of the bushes, panicked with a purple pouch wrapped around its neck, looking behind it, making sure whatever was chasing it was gone.
Naruto and the others looked on in surprise, seeing the little fight that seemed like it had been running for its life. The blond was about to call out to the blue Pokémon before it locked eyes with them in surprise, seeing all of them there. The Riolu started to back up in fear.
Thor then turns his attention to the Emanation Pokémon and begins going over to happily patting it on the back; though Riolu flinches from the contact, it does not seem to mind the attention. Then others seemed to come up to try calming the traumatized Pokémon down as it sat on the ground, trying to catch its breath.
Naruto then went up to help the frightened Pokémon before it locked eyes with the blonde and started to growl. The blue Pokémon flipped backward while putting its paws together, and a blue ball appeared between them. Riolu then fires it at the blond teen with lightning-fast reflexes.
The blue ball of energy was fired toward the blond swiftly before the blue sphere even got close to the teen. Naruto speedily knocks the sphere away as it extinguishes itself into thin air.
Riolu looked back in amazement before collapsing onto the ground from exhaustion. Naruto quickly picked up the fainted Pokémon and carried it securely to rest while his team followed, worried.
"Hey, Menma, what's up? I thought your illusions kept everyone and everything from entering this domain when it's just us out here?" the blond asked the black fox coming to his side as he laid down the blue Pokémon onto a spare sleeping roll.
"That is correct; it should not be possible to break the illusion without permission from either me or if you give me the word." She stated, watching the blond gently tend to the injured Pokémon's wounds.
"Then how did he break your illusion?" he questioned while concentrating on his task.
"I have no idea, but to my assumption, since Riolu also emanates aura, it could have broken the barrier by using its aura."
"You could be right about that, but a Riolu isn't strong enough or has control over its aura to break something like this, but it just used an Aura sphere?"
"Maybe he's just a special case."
Naruto pulled out his Pokédex to get a better reading.
Riolu: Emanation Pokémon: It uses the shapes of auras, which change according to emotion, to communicate with others. The Aura that emanates from its body intensifies to alert others if it is afraid or sad.
Abilities: Inner Focus
This Riolu is Male and Registered to Kyle.
"I thought so, a wild Riolu just coming out of nowhere; I knew it had to belong to someone." Naruto nodded, going over to his team, and steadily surrounding the sleeping Pokémon.
"Alright, guys, give him some room." The sea of Pokémon parted for the blond as he stepped away to let Riolu rest. Regardless, the tiny Pokémon still clutched onto the purple pouch wrapped around its neck tightly.
Riolu squinted into that bright sunlight as it awakened from its bright rays warming its fur. Riolu wakes up suddenly, not because of any noise or interruption, but because he dreams of separating from his trainer and being chased by those scary people for days on end.
The little fighting type tried to stand, but for the moment, his legs had given way to gravity, shaky, weak. Then, it finally noticed the white bindings wrapped around its limbs and neck.
"You might want to take it easy for a bit," a deep voice said behind him.
Riolu turned, spotting the human that knocked away his attack like 'child's play.' It stepped back, wary of the approaching teen as the fighting type gripped onto a purple pouch wrapped around its neck.
"It's okay. I won't hurt you, and I bet you were scared." The blond reached forward, patting the blue Pokémon softly before he unveiled his powerful Aura. Naruto looks deep into the fighting type's mind to see what happened.
Naruto sees Riolu peacefully in a valley with an older man as he is cutting wood, but then a group of goons shows up, holding the older man hostage. The older man told Riolu to escape before he was captured. Riolu quickly escaped the scene in tears as it clutched onto his satchel around its neck. The scene changed to Riolu still on the run from multiple passing steel-clad trucks coming from different directions as they released their Pokémon to attack head-on. The kidnappers' Golems and Claydols fired numerous Hyper Beams at the blue Pokémon, escaping through the thick forest. The scene then shows thugs dressed in black bulletproof vests attempting to steal Riolu, but what happened next got the blond angry at the person ordering Riolus's capture. What surprised the teen, even more, was the Aura spheres the little fighting type was firing off toward its foes as it fled from the hunter once again.
'I never seen or heard of a Riolu using Aura Sphere before its evolution stage.'
The blond continued seeing through Riolu's eyes as it looked up at a woman wearing a purple and black coat split towards the bottom, revealing maroon clothes underneath. She has short silver hair, is wearing a visor, and has a cannon-like device on her left wrist. She pointed the cannon device at Riolu before it fled in terror.
'It's that bitch, again!' the blond eyes flashed crimson before he immediately closed them quickly to regain control over his raging anger.
'I can't lose my cool; I need to think rationally about this.' The blond opened his eyes. He locked his blue gaze onto the tiny fighting type as it looked up at the blond in amazement and felt his powerful Aura wash over him.
"Hey, don't worry, Riolu, it's going to be okay," Naruto smiled, patting the Emanation Pokémon's head gently. Riolu wiped its tears away before questioning the blond.
"How can you understand me?!" Seeing the curiosity in its eyes, Naruto explained how he could understand it.
"I can understand you because I am an Aura Guardian." The Riolus eyes shined with recognition.
"Ah, no wonder you're so strong; I have heard about people like you from passing stories from my village and Grandpa. Humans with the power of Aura are said to be able to fight evenly with a Pokémon."
Naruto nodded, confirming his statement.
"That is correct. My guardian taught me everything I know and how to be strong, which caused his powers to transfer to me, and my powers continued to grow stronger as I grew older. I work hard every day to gain his acknowledgment and praise." The blond grinned and bragged as Nova turned away from the teen, his arms crossed and pink dusting his cheeks.
Riolu looked impressed with his comment before pleading to him.
"I'm sorry for attacking you earlier. I was still in shock and terrified after almost being captured. I need your help, Aura Guardian! My Grandpa is in trouble. Those poachers took him alongside the other Pokémon from my village. He told me to run, but I wasn't strong enough to save him. He sacrificed himself for me. I'm so weak," the fight type said, bowing down in tears and pleading.
Naruto smiled at what it said.
"I doubt a measly Riolu could travel for days without rest and deal with multiple opponents simultaneously and easily," Naruto said, gently patting the blue Pokémon's head.
"Anyone who can get back on their feet after learning their weaknesses is strong and admirable." The blond said, patting Riolus's head again.
The Riolu looked up surprisingly, wiping away his tears once more while still bowing his head in respect.
"I suppose you are correct; I have trained hard to protect and keep my grandpa safe, but I can't do this alone?" Riolu said while griping firmly onto the pouch around his neck.
Naruto seemed to think of a way to word his answer before he smiled, gently patting the Emanation Pokémon's head. Riolu looked up, facing the teen, as Naruto wiped its tears away before answering.
"Well, I was already planning to help you from the start. You don't have to worry, we'll help. Also, you are among the most interesting Riolu I have ever encountered. How are you able to use your Aura so well?"
"I have been training since birth to protect my grandpa and my village while still getting strong. I evenly learned how to have better control of my Aura." Riolu looked down at his paws while thinking deeply.
"It's okay if you don't fully understand, but when we reunite you with your grandpa, we have to have a battle. I'm really curious about how strong you are when pushed to the limit," the blond teen said, smirking. Quickly coming to a decision, the Riolu accepted the challenge.
"Oh, by the way, my name is Naruto Uzumaki; it's nice to meet you, Riolu," nodding to the blue Pokémon.
This was the first time it ever encountered an Aura Guardian, and it's heard so many rumors about how Aura Guardians were said to be as strong as Legendries if they were a master.
"Thank you for your help, and I accept your challenge when I reunite with my grandpa, Naruto." The Emanation Pokémon said, wiping away the rest of its tears as Thor came back over to pat it on the back in comfort.
"Well, guys, I know what we're going do today, time to kick ass and take names." The blonds' team cheered in unison. (Phineas and Ferb take there)
"And I think this is a great opportunity for Tohru and me to settle the score as well; what do you think, girl?" Tohru roared out her answer in a thunderous roar, slamming her tail down onto the ground and making the forest shake a bit.
"Hehe, I thought so." The teen grinned, zipping up his jacket before wrapping his tattered clock around his body. Hikari sat on her father's shoulder as the blond recalled everyone on his team.
"Naruto, are you sure you're up to the task?" Nova said.
"Yes, I trust myself and everyone here. I'm not going to run away; I never go back on my word! That's how I roll." Naruto nodded.
"I know you care more about others than you do myself." Nova shot the blond with a stern look as he recalled his team. He was worried about the blond jumping into danger once again.
"You know I can't just sit back and do nothing," Nova stated as the teen slid onto Tohru's back. Hikari perched herself on his left shoulder once he clipped his tattered cloak around himself.
"As you once said, Nova, I won't learn anything if I don't try to do something about it alone." The teen grinned at the legendary while packing up the rest of his things to get ready to depart.
Nova rubbed his brows, a headache coming on, knowing it was hard to change the blond's mind once he stuck to something. Even though he knows his apprentice will do something stupid, he's still pleased with the teen's progress and beliefs.
"Nova, come on. I can't do this without you." He waved to the Psychic type as he flew over to the teen, following the blond's lead.
'This kid. No matter what he's doing, he won't give up.' Thought to himself before sighing and recalling himself into its Pokéball.
From up here in the sky, from the aerial view, it is clear that the land looks so tiny from up so high. The clouds moved constantly, flowing as sheets hundreds of feet apart, yet appearing one layer below.
"You alright, Riolu?" The concerned voice of the blond asked, passing by sheets of clouds. The blue Pokémon looked up briefly at the blond, and Hikari looked back at him in worry because it was silent when they started traveling by air for a while. The blue Pokémon nodded but was still silent, not looking up from the clutched pouch within his paws.
"What's that pouch your always hold Riolu?" Hikari asked, spotting the baby Pokémon holding the small object in his paws before they took flight.
"Oh, this is a wooden doll my grandpa made; this is precious to me. I keep it everywhere I go," the blue Pokémon beamed, showing Hikari the small wooden Riolu doll as she looked at it in awe.
"I understand; I keep this cloak within my reach. This is one of my most prized possessions." He said, rubbing the rugged garb as he remembered how he received the cloak from Nova on his 9th birthday. Nova told him this cloak was infused with some of his powers, making this specialized garb fire, water, and ice proof (AN: technically, the cloak has the same special abilities as Thick Fat).
No matter how many tears and rips this cloak has received, Naruto never replaced it. Naruto would sew the pieces back together even if there were a small hole in the fabric.
'I would never replace this,' Naruto chuckled, feeling Nova's Master Ball shakes from his hip belt when hearing the blond's brief statement.
He continued to search the skies for an entire hour for any clue, already knowing that Pokémon hunter J was traveling by airship, which the blond saw in Riolus' mind, and he remembers when he rescued Tohru when he was younger. The blond knew he was pressed for time, so he had to devise a new strategy.
"I choose you... Kage and Chrome!" Naruto cried out as loudly as he could, hurling his Heavy and Dark ball into the air.
Both Pokéballs exploded in mid-air in a flash of white light, and a robotic Pokémon with teal, metallic skin and a dark purple, bipedal Pokémon with a roundish body burst out, ready to help.
"Hey, Kage, Chrome, can you two help search the skies to see if you can find a huge metallic ship? It may be hard to find since it sometimes turns invisible. If you see anything, just use your telepathy to call me. I should be able to pinpoint your location if you pulsate your Aura, understood?"
Both Pokémon saluted and nodded obediently as they flew in the air, flying away in different directions.
"Well, now, we just wait until one of them calls back, and then we'll proceed to locate Hunter J's ship," Naruto said. Then she turned to Hikari as she clutched his shoulder in worry.
"Hikari, I want you to search too, but make sure you stay invisible the entire time. I don't want those freaks trying to catch you, too, so please be careful."
Hikari nodded, hugging her father figure before vanishing from view, surprising Riolu in the process.
Naruto channeled his Aura, trying to feel any rapid foreign objects within a 5-mile radius, before he shut his eyes, channeling his Aura connection linking to Hikari, Kage, and Chrome's mind.
"Have you guys found anything yet?"
He waited for a few seconds until he got a reply.
"No, not yet, Daddy," Hikari thought discouraged.
"No, nothing on my end either," the steel type stated dejectedly.
"I think I see some strange people in a black vehicle people stationed west, 7 miles past your exact location."The ghost whispered, spying on the people dressed in black within the dimness of the tree line.
"What are they doing, Kage? Did something happen?" The blond channeled his Aura connection, linking it to Kage's mind, sight-sharing, the teen seeing what Kage is seeing. Naruto spotted a crowd of men packing a black Humvee full of strongboxes, but what alarmed the blond was the boxes of Pokéballs loaded into the truck, too.
"Kage, I'm going to need you to distract one of these men away from his party. Can you, do it?"
Naruto swore he could feel Kage's grin in his mind.
"Do you really have to ask, Naruto?"
Naruto smiled.
"I guess I don't, but please, no soul-sucking, okay? We don't need another incident like the other time, do we?" The blond said in a pointed voice.
"Of course. I won't make the same mistake." The grinning ghost said with crossed fingers, behind his large body, knowing his trainer couldn't see him.
Naruto nodded in satisfaction.
"Great. Immediately commence with the distraction as soon as the others get to your location, so we can easily get on the airship with no problems and deal with those assholes." With that, he ended the connection, telling Hikari and Chrome to meet with Kage at his location.
Naruto thrust his legs forward on either side of the dragon's powerfully muscled body as Tohru briskly took off ahead toward the blond's command.
The blond arrived just as one of the grunts stayed back as the others from his group went off to restock more of their supplies by the black vans. Naruto observed Kage with his Aura before he nodded, signaling Kage to start. A Cheshire grin appeared on the Shadow Pokémon's face; his now glowing red eyes shined, giving him a more sinister look as it snickered back into the darkness.
Kage broke some branches loudly next to the grunt to get his attention. The grunt panicky looked behind him quickly from the noise from the tree he was standing next to before he went to investigate the noise. The Ghost-type was ready as he floated up into the air, opening its giant mouth while snapping his glowing crimson eyes open. The grunt halts as an ominous violet-red aura surrounds him; the lanky man begins to tremble as he feels pain course through his entire body. It was silent for a few minutes until a soundless scream broke out from the dense underbrush before the grunt suddenly appeared again, seemingly walking forward crouched, drunkenly, trying to straighten up and walk on two legs.
"Hey, Murray, you, okay? What the hell are you doing? We got to get back to the ship, so stop playing around!" One of the two grunts called out, seeing their co-worker get up from the ground.
Murray swiftly got up, brushing himself off and displaying a big smile with slanted eyes. "I'm alright. Just had to take a quick leak and fell on a tree limb; these forests are really thick,"
"I know, but the boss wants the rest of the Pokémon we captured cleaned up from that poor ass village we ransacked."
"We better hurry up back to the ship. We still have to look for that missing Riolu, too. Miss J was really pissed it got away, too." The two grunts converse, not noticing the enraged teen behind them.
Naruto sneaked silently behind the two unexpected men. When he was directly behind the grunt's back, Naruto jumped up, hitting them both with an Aura-charged chop to the back of their necks, making them crash lifeless to the ground in a heap.
Naruto tied them both up with some of the rope in his backpack before confiscating all of the men's Pokéballs and possessions and storing them in his bag. The young Uzumaki anonymously alerted the authorities from his X-transceiver of his specific coordinates to arrest them.
"Good job, Kage." The blond nodded at the now possessed grunt, giving his trainer a sharp military 'salute' still grinning with mischief in his glowing, eerie, slanted red eyes.
The teen hurriedly returned both Tohru and Chrome. Riolu followed behind, leaving Hikari and Thor out before running around the random Humvees parked in the shade. The blond checked every vehicle thoroughly.
"Come on, come on, there has to be one at least here?" The blond's team, Riolu, and the possessed grunt wondered what the teen was searching so heavily for before the teen silently cheered, seeing a pair of keys still inside the ignition of one of the more geared-up Humvees with an evil smirk on his face he turned to the other nodding toward the geared up black tanked truck.
The forest was pleasantly quiet... That was until, in no time, a huge black metallic truck flew down AIRBORNE from the grove.
The car spun, wheels trailing smoke, around the bend. The hood to the top of the car flutters down violently in the wind. The black Humvee moved so quickly and noisily that Riolu wondered if the hood might break away from the truck. Hikari was having a blast as she rolled down the tinted windows to get a better view. She poked her head out the window, relishing the speediness.
"Damn it, Naruto, who taught you how to drive?!" Nova screamed within his Pokéball. "Big sis Cynthia did. Duh." The blond casually shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal. (That actually explains a lot)
Nova yelled at the blond, feeling a bit queasy inside the Master Ball from the relentless turns the blond made while avoiding numerous trees. More swearing for Nova filled the teen's thoughts, but Naruto ignored it.
"Look, there it is!" Naruto slowly pressed on the brakes as the van passed by a unique aircraft parked within a massive iron barn; shrink it down, and you could call it a fairly basic shed. Yet, on the scale, it was one of steel and grit.
The blond parked by the airship's back rim, evading anyone's sight.
"Now, how are we going to get in?" Riolu questioned. The blond looked over to the main entrance of the plane, spotting more people dressed in black boarding the aircraft.
"Hold on, I have an idea," The blond said with a mischievous grin, looking toward the ship.
While the men in black gear were carrying more cargo inside the airship, they suddenly noticed one of their associates trailing behind a blond youth bound by some rope, looking defeated with his head down.
"Hey, I caught this kid getting too close to the base. He knows some information about the village and that missing Riolu." Murray/Kage said curtly.
"Great work; we can integrate him when we get up and running to our next location in Ambrette Town. Put him in the holding cell with the others on board." One of the grunts said, patting Murray/Kage on the shoulder. One of the grunts with green hair by the main entryway led the two inside down the elevator to the basement level of the ship.
Naruto peered up from his golden bangs, observing and noting everything they passed by and how many levels they had to go down from the main entrance.
When making it down to the holding cell, Naruto noticed a group of people already within the cell. When the metal door came closer, the grunt with green hair intentionally pushed the blond inside, nearly making him trip over his two feet. Naruto glared furiously at the green-haired bastard who had the nerve to snatch his backpack away and laughed at the teen as the door closed behind him loudly, the heavy chunk of metal bolts sliding closed.
The green-haired bastard continued to cackle like an idiot, not noticing 'Murray' cutting his red eyes at the laughing moron with leering eyes ready to kill this stupid meat sack from touching his trainer. Murray/Kage hastily observed the blond as he shook his head. 'Not yet; wait on my signal'
Murray/Kage nodded in rejection as he pulled down the black cape on his head, covering more of his face, following the other grunts outside the cell calling for him as they strolled further ahead. The sliding doors shut tight.
Naruto noticed several security cameras as soon as he entered the ship, but he could tell there were some blind spots he could avoid without being noticed by the main monitor.
"Are you okay, young man?" Naruto turned, spotting a man with messy silver hair, as was the untidy green collared shirt he wore under a white apron. His eyes were so heavily lidded and weighed down with wrinkled folds that it was almost like talking to someone asleep, yet he was pretty alert.
"Oh, I'm fine. Are you okay, older man? You don't look too good," Naruto hurriedly up to the weakened older man still on the floor. He looked like a scarecrow more than a man, and all lop-sided at that. As the blond nears, his heart falls right through his sneakers.
The elder's left eye is swollen. I bet he can't see something out of that and won't for a while yet. His face still bears congealed blood; no wonder his clothes are an utter mess.
"My name is Naruto. I'm here to help you all get out of here." He said gently as he stooped next to the older gentleman. There were already a pair of ladies around the beaten elder trying their best to bandage him up, but they could only do as much as they could without the proper tools.
One of the people informed the blond that J tortured the older man, calling it interrogation for information on the Riolu whereabouts he was raising. Still, the older man kept information about how he developed in this state for his friend and the village. Naruto scowled in fury, noting J's cruel methods of getting what she sought.
Abruptly the elder started coughing, coming thick and fast, as if the oxygen had been sucked from the air around him. Naruto cursed as he felt his breath catch in his throat at the sight- as the old breathing became irregular. Naruto told the individuals that he knew basic first aid, but they had to trust him. They all parted, making room for the blond, not at all detecting the soothing green glimmer from his fingertips.
Naruto slid closer as; his hands began to glow a faint blue green as he held them over the older man's chest. It looked like the blond was doing chest compressions, soothing the elder's erratic coughing.
The blond took deep, shaky breaths to calm himself, his eyes determined and unblinking as he watched the elders' movements. It seemed so slow to him, but eventually, his erratic heartbeat calmed before finally stopping.
'Come on old man…' His breathing seemed to level out, but the teen still didn't like seeing all the bruises and welts covering the elders' frail physique.
'Damn it! I'm not the best at this! I can't fully heal punctured ribs by myself.' Nova could do it if only we had made it here sooner, but it's been too long. The blond thought, blaming himself for his faults. It took all his self-control not to lash out and blow up this entire ship.
'Focus, Naruto!' Nova hissed in his mind, his anger and unease almost overwhelming him.
Naruto then got up from his kneeling position, taking a deep breath. Suddenly, his mind felt clearer.
"He should be okay for now, but we must get him to a hospital as fast as possible. I did the best I could for now." Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Naruto, was it? I'm afraid that there is nothing we can do. We don't have our Pokémon, and the guards will hear. We should wait here for help. Officer Jenny already knows we are missing ..." one of the other individuals in the prison cell said in a distressed voice.
"Hey, it is easier to do something than to worry about it. I have my ways; just have a little faith in me, would you?" the teen said while staring at the camera facing the cell.
The blond puts his right hand towards his mouth, putting his index finger and pointer finger together before blowing lightly toward the video camera. In everyone's amazement, they watched the blond teen breathe out, and silvery clouds of crystals appeared, inflicting the small device. Not soon, in seconds, tiny Icicles hugged the black frame, freezing the video camera completely.
"There, that should do it. It shows us in the same position since the camera is frozen solid." Naruto approached the doorway, holding them in before taking a deep breath. He brought his right fist up to his face and charged it with an incredible amount of Aura. He brought his arm back before thrusting it forward. This caused the door to break off its hinges and fly directly to one of the grunts running inside after hearing the loud noise, instantly knocking him out.
"We better get moving." The blond regarded back to the group of people he freed with their mouths wide open, seeing the young teen standing there as if freezing something with just his breath is nothing and him blasting a steel door off its hinges like it was a twig. He saw the shocked looks register on their faces before he could hide it.
A small smile played on his lips. "Can we keep this a secret between us, right?" Everyone nodded quickly before getting up off the floor to leave.
Naruto gathered everyone in a single file line while he closed his eyes, channeling his Aura connection and linking it to Kage's mind.
"It's show time, Kage!" Naruto waited for a few seconds until he got a quick reply back.
"I'll release the other Pokémon, but you all must evacuate before I can do that." Naruto used the card key as it flicked the doors open.
The blond looked down the entrance, making sure it was clear. Naruto looked back while noting one of the taller men helping in carrying, the older man on his back since he could not walk because of the heavy injuries he sustained. Naruto cursed in his head, knowing they could not move as quickly because that would cause more injury to the elder.
"Hey, what are you doing here?!" A cluster of grunts passing by roaming the halls.
Naruto didn't even bother to listen to the man's statement as he looked at the geared-up bulky men before he thought, 'Pathetic.'
Naruto flapped over the group of bulky men before sweep-kicking a gaggle of them away from the group he was guiding. The teen ducked down, evading one of the bulkiest grunts after one of them attempted to grab the blond from behind. Naruto low-kicked the grunt, knocking him down, then sent him in the air with a spinning kick. His kick connected, and the largest grunt fell unconscious against the walls.
Naruto raised his left arm and opened his hand, causing his hand to glow blue as the grunts and a light blue aura surrounded them.
"What the hell?!"
"I can't move!"
"What's going on?!"
Naruto looked into each of their faces before he said, "I have no time to deal with scum like you."
He closed his fist, causing the rest of them to collide with one another. He then raised his fist slightly as they rose with his fist and brought it down, where they were brought down with stunning speed that knocked them unconscious as they moaned in pain.
"That felt great!" the blond beamed, stretching his arms as his eyes rolled over to the grunts and scattered bodies sprayed over the floor, but that wasn't what grabbed his attention. Naruto snatched a red-colored key badge, which one of the grunts was carrying.
The teen slid the card into his pocket before he noticed Murray/Kage running down the hall carrying his bag hurriedly, but stopped when he saw the horde of piled-up bodies everywhere in the hall.
'Do I even want to ask?' The Ghost-type cut his eyes and looked over to his trainer suspiciously. The villagers were still stunned by Naruto's speed and strength of overpowering men three times your size.
'I don't think you do.' The blond shrugged, pleased carefreely.
Some of the civilians were still frightened, thinking Murray/Kage was one of the guards trying to capture them. Naruto reassured every Murray/Kage he was on their side to help. Kage separated his soul from 'Murray' after the ghost type didn't need the useless meat sack anymore. Kage chuckled as Murray was left on the floor with foam coming from his mouth and a blank, dazed, dead look in his eyes. (They left Murray there half dead. Poor Murray, he was somewhat useful. Lol)
Naruto led the party over to one of the storage rooms close to an open-air vent connected to the outside of the airship bay.
As Kage opened the air vent, a blue shadow darted out. Everyone was surprised to see Riolu pop out, but Naruto clarified that Riolu helped them find the correct air vent they needed to escape safely outside using its Aura while the teen was pretending to be captured.
"Little one, why are you here? It's dangerous," the older man who was being carried because of heavy injuries said gently in a cracked voice.
The baby Pokémon cried as it quickly jumped into the arms of the older man in happiness and sadness. Naruto's mind soon clicked. This must be Kyle, Riolus's trainer he was trying to save so severely.
"I am okay now; I missed up too. Little one," Kyle shushed it as it rubbed Riolus's back affectionately, calming it down as it cried seeing the older man injured so badly.
In their embrace, the world stopped still on its axis. There was no time, no wind, and no rain. Riolus mind was at peace. He felt his body press in, soft and warm. Finally, he was home. (So cute!)
Hikari pooped out of her ball, nuzzling up to her adopted father, clutching his shoulder worriedly as the blond consoled her. (Naruto had to recall her before he entered the ship)
The happiness was infectious as everyone watched the duo hugging tightly and crying softly. Soon, the party had to separate as the ship started to rock. They all heard the intercom say about taking off in 20 minutes and to be ready.
Naruto and Kage helped get them inside the air vents as quickly as possible. Naruto soon could hear the hum of the rotors and the engines starting up.
"Let us pick up the pace a bit," the blond said, lifting a small child before tossing them to Murray/Kage, who was in the vent's opening, pulling the two up as they followed the group to safety.
Riolu jumped down by the blond, saying it wanted to help save his friends, and silently whispered to the blond it was also getting payback for what they did to his grandpa. Naruto nodded, understanding Riolus's choice by reassuring Kyle he would protect Riolu with everything he had. Kyle finally agreed, trusting the blond with his friend as they hurriedly through the ventilation system.
"I'll be fine; you ensure they get off this ship safely." Kage nodded obediently without saying a word as the air vent slid closed behind him.
The metallic door behind the blond almost immediately slid open as a green-hard grunt walked in on his cell phone, looking like he was trying to skip out from doing any work. But I was taken aback by seeing the blond teenager he had thrown in prison earlier and the Riolu they were supposed to capture.
"Hey, how did you get out of the holding cell?!" the grunt shouted, about to call back up, but never got the chance as he squealed when he was snatched roughly around the collar where he was face to face with a scowling Naruto.
"Did J already transport any Pokémon to anyone in that village?! Tell me!" Naruto shook the grunt as he demanded an answer.
The green-haired grunt just sneered evilly at him.
"I'll never tell you a thing, and even if I did, it wouldn't matter; they would've probably arrived at their supposed place soon." Naruto snarled and brought his head back before slamming his against the grunt's face, which caused his nose to break with an audible crack.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! My beautiful nose!" Naruto shook him more before striking him across the face, silencing the loud, loud grunt.
"Shut the fuck up! Tell me what you know now, or else your nose isn't the only thing I'll be breaking!"
The grunt stared boldly at Naruto, shaking him.
"Never." The grunt scowled back.
"I was hoping you would say that" Naruto smirked evilly with an aura around him that made him slightly scared to say no to him.
For a couple of minutes, all that could be heard from the area was girlish man shrieks of terror and agony.
15 minutes later
Naruto looked at the gory heap of the Pokémon poacher with an aggravated expression. At the same time, Riolu stood straighter and hooded obediently without saying a word Naruto raised an eyebrow as he dusted off his hands, not paying any mind to Riolus' sudden mood shift. (Naruto is scary when he's pissed off)
"I wish I had more information on the specific location this client is sending the captured Pokémon," he sighed.
"You will have to figure that out later when you have time to spare," Nova said as the airship was already in route to their following location.
Naruto proceeded to the location using his Aura alone of the still trapped Pokémon. Riolu trails behind, sticking close to the blond without missing a beat. Naruto raced urgently while trailing down the hall, evading all the undetectable security cameras. Naruto used the card key he swiped as it opened the doors to the room that had the trapped Pokémon. All the Pokémon were frozen like statues inside glass cases.
'This reminds me of when Tohru was captured too,' the blond thought in a fury before rapidly getting to work, freeing all the glass containers holding the Pokémon inside. Riolu and Hikari helped in opening all the containers as well.
An earsplitting alarm went off in the control chamber, indicating something was happening in the containment room. J tapped a few keys, getting a visual of what was happening.
Then, a scream from deep within forced its way from the slim woman's mouth as the crew looked back fearfully at their boss's seething face.
J furiously slammed down her fist as her long purple collared jacket weaved in the air. As she shouted out, she was going to handle the situation herself. Her red heels clicked in frustration as she called out a red arachnid Pokémon that resembled a spider. It has purple eyes, a pair of white mandibles, and a white horn on its forehead. Around its abdomen are two black stripes, two black spots, and a yellow spinneret on its rear. The spots and spinneret together form a pattern similar to a face.
"Ariados, stop that kid!" the Long Leg Pokémon hurried down the hall quickly, leaving its webs behind to trap its prey.
"There, that should be everyone." Naruto nodded as the group of Pokémon stood before him, confused and afraid. A few rare baby Pokémon are in the bunch, such as Chingling, Smoochum, Togepi, Iggybuff, Mime Jr. and Cleffa.
"Okay, relax, everyone. We'll get you back to your trainers safely, trust me." Naruto pulled out his Pokédex and walked over to a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon whose body resembled a flowing gown. Most of its body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of its gown are green. Its hair curls over its face and down the sides of its head. Behind its red eyes are short spikes resembling a masquerade mask.
Gardevoir: Embrace Pokémon: Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. This Pokémon will try to protect its Trainer even at the risk of its own life.
Abilities: Synchronize
This Gardevoir is Female and Registered to Kelly
'Hey, Gardevoir, I need your help, okay?' The bipedal fairy was somewhat stunned. The blond human could communicate with her in her mind but locked eyes with the blond as she paid attention to his every word, nodding timidly.
"Now, I need you to diligently locate your home and return to your trainer you love dearly. Close your eyes and imagine you are back safe in your village. I'll even help you. Take a deep breath and focus on going back. Once you lock onto your Trainer, use 'Teleport' with everything you have." Gardevoir nodded, trying to focus on her Trainer. The blond also shut his eyes, lifting his palm, and giving the dual type a slight boost to teleport a large group.
Out of nowhere, numerous strings of white sticky threads shot all around, one after another. Eventually, the strings make a web within the room.
Naruto pulled out his Pokédex as he tried calming the frightened Pokémon around him.
Ariados: Long Leg Pokémon: Ariados's feet are tipped with tiny, hooked claws that enable it to scuttle on ceilings and vertical walls. This Pokémon constricts the foe with thin and strong silk webbing.
Abilities: Sniper
This Ariados is Female and Registered to J.
The blond cursed 'of course it's hers' as Ariados released a spray of multiple purple darts from its mouth at the group, making them scatter away.
"No, it's trying to separate the group!" Naruto franticly thought, trying to bring everyone back together as Gardevoir was still building up more of her energy.
The Iggybuff and Cleffa toddled away in fright into the further corner of the room. The Long Leg Pokémon glared at the baby as red and black energy streaks came out of its face. It then releases red and black energy from its, as the energy morphs into a scary face, frightening the Pokémon group even more.
The babies were crying in terror, huddled up together in the corner, too afraid to come out.
The giant spider crosses its legs above its head, and its hands and pincers glow purple. A purple 'X' then appears in front of its crossed arms, and it opens its hands, firing the 'X' at the baby Pokémon.
Naruto grunted in frustration at not being fast enough to make it over to them in time.
Naruto gasped when Riolu appeared in front of the crying Iggybuff and Cleffa before the bug type finished charging its attack.
A bright orange flame already surrounds Riolu's foot, kicking the Ariados in the face, stopping the Pokémon from completing its move in time. The tiny fighting type wasn't finished there, though. Riolu pushed the giant spider back with a lightning-coated fist, knocking it out. (I hate all spider Pokémon, so this was justified!)
'Woah, that is one well-bred Riolu! I've never seen a Riolu learning Blaze kick before,' the blond thought to himself in an amazed voice as the other Pokémon cheered for Riolu's heroic bravery in saving the baby Pokémon in danger.
"Everyone gets closer to Gardevoir; she's going to use teleport to take everyone home." The group of Pokémon either held on to the tall Fairy-type or hung on to each other for dear life.
"Times up now, children, go Drapion!" J's voice shouted, calling out a large, purple, scorpion-like Pokémon. Its eyes are a pointed shape, with blue-colored upper portions. Drapion has two small, pointed protrusions between its eyes and one on the back of its head. Drapion also has protrusions on its jaws, two on the upper and three on the lower, with significant, fang-like, white-colored features extending from its mouth. Its body comprises many violet-to-lavender body segments, which end with a tail with two stingers.
Naruto pulled out his Pokédex quickly as J recalled back her Ariados.
Drapion: Ogre Scorp Pokémon: It has the power in its clawed arms to make a scrap of a car. The tips of its claws release poison. Its body is encased in a sturdy shell. Its head rotates 180 degrees, eliminating blind spots.
Abilities: Battle Armor/Keen Eye
This Drapion is Male and Registered to J.
Naruto sucked his teeth, aggravated, already knowing Drapion is an overly aggressive Pokémon, attacking anything that enters its territory. Drapion has a sturdy build and takes pride in its strength, being able to take down foes even without the use of its deadly toxin.
"Now, use Pin Missile; separate them." Drapion thrusts its claws forward and shot white streams of pins at the group of Pokémon surrounding Gardevoir but was stopped as a blue blur slid forward, ducking under all the raining white missiles as Riolu's heel struck the purple scorpion in the shins.
The dark type roared in pain as it bent over in agony.
"Drapion, get ahold of yourself and use Fire Fang!" she ordered as it righted itself in before getting back on its feet again.
With blazing fangs, the Ogre Scorp Pokémon rushed toward the Gardevoir, intending to hinder his target. Had not an orange-reddish shadow hadn't collided with the dark-type, knocking it back.
"What!?" J shouted, confused; even the dark scorpion stopped in surprise before being tackled by a tiny mythical Pokémon that materialized from thin air only seen in legends.
Hikari glared as she hovered mid-air, tiny arms spread out, protecting the pack of frightened Pokémon.
'That's my girl' Naruto nodded at her proudly to protect others from harm. Not at all upset, she revealed herself to the enemy.
"I have to give you my thanks by bringing back RX1 and a mythical Pokémon that will make me millions!" J chuckled greedily.
"Use X-Scissor, now!" Drapion turns its head 180 degrees with its claws glowing light green.
"Let's set up the playing field. Hikari use Will-O-Wisp!" Hikari raised its tri-pronged fingers into the air and blazed six mystical fireballs to life, which she then launched at her newfound opponent. Drapion stepped back, distracted, and avoiding the balls of flames.
"Use Incinerate Hikari!" Naruto shouted with his grin in place while a beam of orange, yellow, red, and black fire erupted from Hikari's throat and rushed down toward the surprised Drapion for a split second.
"Follow up with Shadow Ball!" Drapion barely reacted in time, though; a ball made from shadows was thrown into the heart of the flames and forced the Dark type back. The Shadow Ball continued to fly at Drapion, only for it to miss by a hair when the tiny Fire-type flew to the left as Drapion irritably tried grabbing at the Victory Pokémon with its pincers. Still, Hikari danced away from his grasp at the last second.
"Forget that flying fur ball for now; just get those village Pokémon! Use Dark Pulse!" Drapion' s eyes glowed red, redirecting his maw as an orb of his dark energy in the form of a ray toward Naruto and the group as Gardevoir continued to try and focus her psychic powers.
Riolu's eyes shone light blue momentarily as it raced forward, dodging the opponent's dark beam and ducking out of harm's way. When it was close enough, Riolu put its paws together, and a blue ball of energy appeared in between them. Riolu then fires its Aura sphere at Drapion, causing a shockwave and making J shield her eyes from the blinding light from the attack.
Before Drapion even reacted, though, Riolu rushed forward, grabbed the Dark-type by the sides of its pincers, pulled back one of its fists, which were surrounded by swirling energy that changed from white to light blue, and then punched the giant spider Pokémon, freezing it solid completely.
Gardevoir shouted out as it was ready, her whole body glowed white, gathering enough psychic energy.
"Gardevoir now!" Naruto shouts toward the dual-type Pokémon.
The Embrace Pokémon body glows multicolored and becomes outlined in light blue, washing over the others as they all disappear together, leaving just Naruto, Riolu, and Hikari behind.
"No! Get back here!" J's shouting violence in the air, she raised her voice as the Pokémon vanished from her sight, her muscles tensed, and her teeth ground in frustration recalling Drapion.
"Well, I guess you just lost your future investment; that's too bad," the blond teased back with a grin, winding her up like this was too easy, but to be honest.
"You! Salamence, go kill that blond brat! Fire Blast!" In a flash, a quadrupedal, draconic Pokémon with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a gray lower jaw and thickly scaled underside. The dragon roars its head back as it shoots out a stream of flames at the blond teen.
J was satisfied as she set the annoying blond alight, letting him burn in a ring of fire.
"Is that all you and your pissy baby lizard got?!" a bright shadowy figure shouted triumphantly through the sea of flames.
"Tohru, show that Eye licker a real Fire Blast!" Naruto demanded with great authority as Tohru flashed out of her Friend ball with a thunderous roar with fire spewing from her jaws. The green-scaled Dragoness shot out flames in the shape of the kanji for fire right at J's Salamence at point blank.
J's Salamence was hit back with force making it skid back across the ship. Making the whole airship rock.
"You damn bastard!" she looked back, seeing her Salamence getting back up while it shook itself off from the previous attack.
"Oh please, I heard worse, you crazy bitch. You had this coming to you. It would help if you had better security. Breaking in was too easy." Hunter J was not aware of the teen intrusion onboard her ship, but she wasn't going to let this cocky child know that.
"You defiantly made an enemy out of me," she said in rage as her Salamence came up behind her, snarling.
"Ohhh, I'm sooo scared" in a mocking comical way with his hands on his hips.
"Use Flamethrower, now!" J shouted as she pushed down her black visors to cover her face.
"Tohru, continue back-to-back Shadow Claws!" with his grin in place. At the same time, J's Salamence shot jets of flames erupting from its throat, rushing towards Naruto before Tohru reacted in time with a claw made from shadows as it slashed the attack into the heart of the flames and forcing the attack to subside. The Shadow Claw continued to fly through the flames at J's Salamence, only for it to miss by a hair when the enemy dragon type flew mid-air to the left—giving Tohru time to press the advantage and fly up quickly to the Pokémon above him, and with a demented glare.
"Rock Tomb, Salamence!" The blue dragon created a red orb of energy between its maw, throwing it into the air. The orb of energy then expands and solidifies into multiple large boulders that fall down onto Tohru.
The power from the falling rocks lands right on Tohru's left flank. Tohru grunted in pain from the super-effective attack, and she started to fall out of the air for a second before catching herself.
"It's turn up the heat! Tohru, time for a strong Dragon Claw!" Naruto shouted up to his Pokémon, and with a smirk, Tohru's claws both gained a large green aura around them with three aura claws sticking out of the aura. J's Salamence glared as she shouted out for Dragon Claw as well, and the two flew at each other. Before Tohru struck first, Salamence followed up. The claw of Salamence landed right in Tohru's chest, but instead of getting the wind knocked from her, Tohru tanked through the blow and slashed J's Salamence right in the face with a powerful blow that sent the blue dragon type flying back making it crash into a couple walls into the control room making the entire aircrew panic as they tried to get control of the aircraft once more but was unsuccessful.
"Well, I think that it's my cue to head out," the blond said as Hikari hopped on his shoulder, getting comfortable while picking up Riolu in his arms.
"I'll be sure to tear you limb from limb if you ever cross my path, you brat!" J hissed as she ran back to her subordinates.
"Ha, I bet, smell ya later! You old Hag!" the blond 'flipped off' the fuming Pokémon poacher before hitting a side panel under his feet, making him free-fall from the floor of the ship. (I hate hearing that insult 'smell ya later,' so I had to do it!)
Naruto grabbed onto both Hikari and Riolu tightly as the wild wind whipped his blond locks about his face, and he sucked in a deep breath as he brought his toes to the edge. As gravity took him fiercely toward the forest floor below, he struggled to claim any of the air that rushed into his lungs. Then, he flopped onto a large, scaly surface as he felt the whirl of color settle into the familiar sight of dense mountains and trees, only now they were far more significant. Tohru started flapping her wings as she stirred up a hefty gust to maintain balance, quickly catching the blond from the deadly free fall.
The young Uzumaki balanced himself while ensuring Hikari and Riolu were okay before he looked back and saw the invisible, flying object covered in smoke, failing around as it crashed into a dense mountain valley. The blond then inhaled deeply before he laughed to himself as Tohru looked back at her Master as he pumped his fists up, exhilarated from the rush. The shiny Dragoness shrugged off her master's weird behavior like it was normal.
"Let's head back to the others. I bet everyone's waiting for us." Riolu and Hikari nodded in unison, excited to head back. The teen kicked his legs forward on either side of the dragon's powerful frame as Tohru rapidly glided ahead from the blonde's commands towards the village. 'I hope so, so they can never be found.' The blond's eye flashed red briefly as he steered Tohru West.
Naruto smiled as he looked to his right, seeing happy trainers and Pokémon crying tears of joy and hugging, who seemed equally delighted to see them again. Riolu was crying in happiness as it was wheeling away on Kyle's lap to his home, out of harm's way.
The townsfolk thanked him many times, while Naruto kept saying it was fine. He told Officer Jenny and a group of investigators what happened and how he dealt with the men, leaving out the part of brutally torturing one of them and how he used his powers. They then returned to the city, where they met up with Office Jenny, who took the poacher into custody while saluting the blond for his great work.
"I'm glad that you all are back, safe." The teen nodded. Hikari also smiled in happiness.
Kelly and Gardevoir stopped hugging each other briefly to smile sadly at Naruto.
"Well, we're missing one more Pokémon, but without your help, we wouldn't have been able to save any." She said as Naruto's smile dropped before; he could ask which Pokémon had been taken. Kelly pointed over to a group of children crying into their mother's arms and skits bawling.
Silvervale Village was, in fact, a part of the luxurious Lucario Kingdom in the Sinnoh region. This particular settlement specifically breeds and trains only exceptional Riolus from birth until they evolve, where it will serve as the kingdom's new guardian. But this information is not disclosed anywhere since tourists would ruin this peaceful place, and demanding entities would do anything to kidnap and steal this village's secrets for themselves. The blond ponders J's last attack.
'How did J even find this place? It's not even on the map,' the blond was in deep thought, but the conversation between Officer Jenny and an older man with a long beard caught his attention.
Officer Jenny bowed low, informing the village elder that they had lost the connection correlated with J's previous client's location. The Silvervale village elder and chief named 'Edward' thanked her and the other officers before they left, saying they would continue searching for those missing Pokémon.
"What Pokémon did J take before I got here? Was it still on the ship?" The blond looked back worriedly but calmed down when a shaky, wrinkled hand stopped him as he shook his head. Edward is a very older man with much white hair, a long white beard, and flowing purple robes.
"This Pokémon, unfortunately, disappeared an entire week before J and her poacher even came to our village," the old man clarified.
"This Pokémon was hard to describe. It was semi-translucent and encircled with several white, star-shaped markings with wavy tentacles. Still, its body was beautiful, like it was made of various types of glass," he patted his white beard, trying to remember.
"We didn't know the name of this Pokémon, but we just kept calling it 'Moon' since it just showed up one night on a full moon; the mysterious Pokémon was very friendly towards the children and loved to play, so we welcomed 'Moon' with open arms into our little village, but since it disappeared, the children have been quite upset from its disappearance you see" Kelly sadly chimed in with Gardevoir at her side.
"Don't worry, Naruto, I bet it'll return on its own; we still like to thank you with a grand feast for all the help you have given us." Edward nodded in gratitude as everyone cheered in agreement.
"It was no problem as long as you are happy." he grinned, scratching the back of his head nervously, but they were happy with how the day ended.
Naruto stayed at a cozy inn within the village for a few days before hearing heartbreaking news washed over the town. Kyle Riolus, the grandpa/trainer who raised him, was not doing well. Kyle's injuries were more severe from J and her crew as they interrogated him of Riolus' whereabouts. J's and her band of crooks were cruel and brutal, not caring about the older man's frail body and age.
The blond paid a visit to the older man and Riolu that morning. Naruto has his arms crossed as his long bangs cover his face, hiding his expression while looking on as one of the village head doctors helps Kyle take his medicine. The doctor wore that face he always did when the news wasn't good as she checked the heart monitor once again before sitting by the seniors' bedside.
The older man had that look about him, the look of a well-lived life, one where love took a front-row seat in the challenging and good times.
"Kyle, have you thought about moving to a bigger hospital? I don't think I can fully treat you here; we must try at least." The female doctor asked as she gently removed the spoon from his lips.
"I appreciate you for coming to see me again, Mai. You said I'm as strong as a Tauros, last check-up," he chuckled, flexing his arms in a jolly manner, trying to crack a joke in this gloomy situation.
The doctor shook her head with the tiniest of smiles. "A cup can only spill over if there's something in it, and it's slow; you've got a while."
"Thanks for telling me straight, but you know I won't be able to even make the trip because of these shaky legs of mine," he brightly smiled, not at all bitter from the truth.
Hikari slumped down from the blond's shoulder as she tried to hide her tears. Mai quietly bowed to Kyle, saying she would start preparing dinner as she opened the door for Riolu to come in. Kyle beamed as Riolu paraded in with a big glass of water and a straw, in glee at just being in the same room as Kyle. The older man patted Riolu as it was basing in delight.
Outside the dim light room, Naruto asks Mai if Riolu knows the truth behind Kyle's condition, and Mai replies that she can sense it does. Naruto asks permission to stay the night to hang out with the pair. Kyle and Riolu joyfully agreed to have the blond over for dinner, as it was filled with nothing but smiles and merriment.
Later that night, Naruto was jolted awake by Hikari. She whispered something was wrong as she heard Kyle going into a raging coughing fit.
"Hikari, quick, get Dr. Mai next door!" The teen shouted as the mythical Pokémon flashed away, getting the female doctor briskly.
As the female doctor instructed the blond to do if this ever happened on his watch, Naruto quickly worked doing chest compressions. The blond promptly applied his basic first-aid training to the older man. Despite the pressure he applied, the blood pool darkened, and the stain on his pajamas spread from his nape to his stomach.
Riolu was by the blond's side, crying in panic as they saw his only family member deadly bleeding at sickening speed.
'Come on, Kyle, Damn it!' The teen pushed down again as the older man's coughing fit seemed to calm down a bit. Mai rushed in with Hikari by her side. The doctor's big bag was open as she inspected Kyle with expert eyes.
Mai informed Naruto he saved the older man's life from his constant chest compressions, but she did not know if they would be lucky next time as they saw Riolu lying by Kyle's side as the heart monitor beeping slowly within the room, hoping for a better day tomorrow.
Kyle called Naruto inside his room the following day as Riolu, Thor, and Hikari returned to play before breakfast. Kyle thanked the blond for saving his life. Naruto waved off his praise, only glad he was still with them.
Kyle slowly reached out toward the curtain by his bedside and drew it aside firmly. The light flooded in, bathing her in its warm golds, revealing to her the colors it had brought to the world beyond his windowpane.
"It felt like my lungs weren't there as I tried to bring air in. I could feel my muscles straining and the thoughts in my head turn from fear to a dizzy confusion." Naruto did not know if the older man was speaking to himself or the blond as the boy sat beside him in a peaceful silence by his bedside.
"Naruto, can you do me a huge favor?" he spoke in soft coughs.
"Of course, anything." The blond got up, tilting over to hear him better.
"Can you take care of Riolu for me, please? I think I could only trust you to care for him to bring out his hidden potential," Kyle speaks. Naruto knows it's him speaking, but the elder's voice is all wrong like he's speaking while being choked.
"Hey, old man, what are you saying?" Kyle shook his head gently, not explaining further, but smiled, telling the teen to call on a few people over for him. The blond immediately heeded the older man's order to collect specific individuals the elder said to retrieve.
At that moment, everyone gathered, knowing they were saying goodbye. The village elder Edward and Mai locked eyes with the blond, Naruto felt his face crack into the look he'd seen a few times, which point of no return. I saw Riolu rubbing its small head onto the elder's stomach, crying its eyes out. The blond could see Kyle's hair tumbled over his face, so Dr. Mai swept it back, feeling the coldness of his skin, before pulling away.
Kyle smiled so briefly before her breathing became a noisy rattle... then he was gone. That's how he departed. He lay on his bed with a soft smile still on his face, peaceful and lifeless as everyone still hearted. Only the flat line sound blaring from the heart monitor and Riolus howling could be heard from within the bedroom. (Don't blame me! I balled my eyes out writing this whole scene!)
Rays of early morning sunshine brightened the sky as dawn broke out over the village. The weather has been so warm recently, the air so velvety on the skin. Clouds drift by on the most relaxed of breezes.
The blond sat alone, holding Hikari as she lay asleep on his lap. They sat by the hillside as the village homes were stamped in the broad valley as if placed by some careful collector.
The funeral passed by a couple of days ago as everyone came together to send older man Kyle off. It was sweet sorrow, for in those moments of raw pain, when it feels as if the loving self-screams in silent anguish, there are the memories of the good times that come as a blossoming spring meadow.
Naruto ran his hand through his long locks three times in quick succession as he could spot Riolu again sitting by the neat-kept grass, one tombstone identical to its peers. Yet Kyles's name was etched upon it and spoke straight to blonds' hearts.
Naruto gently cradled Hikari without jostling her as he walked up quietly to gain Riolus's attention, offering it a Pecha beery, but Riolu sharply turned away, refusing to eat. The blond sighed, putting the berry in his back pocket before pulling the small wooden Riolu figurine from his cloak pocket. He explains to Riolu that 'he would want you to eat' as he returns the figurine to a pull-string bag and places it around Riolus's neck. As the baby Pokémon teared up, following the blond quietly.
As they cross the small river, Naruto tells Riolu that Kyle wants him to come with him so it can grow before returning to the Lucario Kingdom, where it will serve as the kingdom's new guardian.
"But I will not force you to go if you do not want to if that is what you choose." The Emanation looked down as it approached the nearby river, taking out the wooden figurine it held preciously between his paws. Then, Naruto experiences a sudden vision of the same house where Riolu received the same wooden figurine from Kyle. The vision abruptly stopped as the teen approached Riolu and gently patted its head, giving it time to think about the offer in getting stronger.
A few days passed, and no one saw the hide or hair of Riolu in the village.
Naruto and a few villagers were worried, thinking Riolu was kidnapped once again. With a few individuals, the Blond volunteered to search for the tiny fighting type before the search party was railed up. Everyone spotted the Emanation march forward down the hillside before it stood at the edge of the valley, pointing at Naruto out within the crowd in a challenging demeanor as it gazed back at the blond-blue eyes as it told of a lifetime of struggle that had never been put into words.
There is something about that gaze of his Naruto never found in another Pokémon, as if their souls have made a bridge in that moment.
"I finally get it; now I can hear your heart clearly. Okay, I will give you one if you want to battle that badly!" Naruto declared with a smirk, pulling his Quick ball from his belt with a grin and tossing it into the air in a flash. Thor came out ready. The electric Pokémon flexed as it grinned, locking eyes with his new pal. Riolu nodded back, removing its purple pouch safely before getting into a battle stance.
Edward looked over at Riolu with an eyebrow raised; it didn't take a genius to see that both trainer and Pokémon were in sync when it came to this idea. The vast crowd stepped back, giving them some room.
'I see; Riolu wanted to test Naruto from a battle for the right to catch it, having decided that it didn't want Naruto thinking it was weak and pitying him. This will be interesting.' He nodded as he scratched his long white beard, awaiting the results of this match.
Other than the noise of the distant clotheslines flapping in the near gale, the wind covered all traces of sound from the thunder rolling in. Neither side was flinching from the raging rainy winds.
Riolu took a step forward, taking off in a full-out sprint ahead.
'Wait for it... wait for it... Now!'
"Thor, Thunder Punch now!" he ordered. The electric type engulfed its fists in a raging storm of electricity and made a mad dash toward Riolu.
Bolting from his position, Riolu ducked under a downward swing and hit his target's chest dead center. Elekid doubled over the impact. Unfortunately, the yellow Pokémon stood his ground and grabbed hold of Riolu by its arms. Lightning expelled from his fur as he prepared to electrocute his opponent.
"You are not getting away, Elekid. Use Shock Wave!" the spark plug screeched furiously as he shot a jagged wave of electricity, its somewhat uncontrolled patterns shocking Riolu as it screeched in pain.
"Follow up with Dynamic Punch!" Thor's fists become surrounded by a bluish-white aura as he punches Riolu repeatedly. Riolu fought back with chilling blows from Riolus Ice punches while also gaining the advantage in height. Both Pokémon exchange blows fiercely.
Riolus body become outlined in orange. It put up its arms, blocking the repeated assault, and dug its heels in the dirt before releasing the built-up energy, sending the spark plug flying back from the collision, twice the initial power from Riolus' Counter'.
Before Thor could react, the Emanation Pokémon jumped up as its paw became surrounded by yellow-orange sparks. It karate chops Thor from above with the side of its arm. Thor staggered unconsciously, giving his opponent their window of opportunity. Riolu's paws turn light blue, and it strikes Thor with it, releasing a burst of blue energy from it on contact. Thor stumbled back under the force of impact several feet, looking worse for wear.
'It has Brick Break and Force Pam,' studying his opponent before seeing Thor breathing hard.
"Thor, are you okay?" The yellow plug gave the blond a thumbs up as he weakly responded.
Naruto felt a bead of sweat trail down his face, feeling Riolu had had more battle experience than Thor, but they were not giving up now.
"Come on, Thor, use Thunderbolt!"
Thor raged, swinging its arms as his signature attack sparks blitzed from his body while Riolu charged an orb of Aura energy; both fired their respective moves. The specters watched in awe as both attacks fought for dominance, "You can do it, Thor!" the yellow spark plus continued swinging its arms, increased his electrical output, and forced the aura sphere back a few inches, slamming Thor to the ground, canceling his assault, and creating a dust cloud.
"THOR!" Naruto shouted as the yellow Pokémon slumped over with purple bruises forming from both his arms as he tried stopping the Aura sphere by sheer brute force.
Naruto looked worried and looked at his companion, who had taken severe damage during the battle; it was only natural for a Trainer to worry for his Pokémon as it seemed like it was on its last leg.
Naruto used his aura link to connect to Thor as soon as the blue orb connected. The blond saw Thor using one of his free hands to create a yellow hexagon barrier, sponging some of the blasts.
Thor knelled down, trying to catch their breath again as they looked down in anguish.
Without delay, Riolu took a chance as it raced forward, its fists clutched while keeping an eye on the rising Electric-Type.
He froze before the blond could counterattack; everyone close enough could see what was happening.
Thor's body was glowing a crystal blue color, which began to grow in size; the glow soon popped, revealing an entirely new Pokémon—a slightly humanoid Pokémon with a few feline traits. Two long tufts of fur grew on top of its head and two large fangs in its upper jaw. It is covered in yellow fur with many black stripes. Its body grew more extensive, with a lightning bolt-shaped stripe on its chest, a V-shaped stripe on its forehead, and many rings around its long tail.
"He… he's evolving-" someone in the crowd muttered in astonishment.
Bringing a smile to his face, Naruto brought out his Pokédex.
Electabuzz: Electric Pokémon: When a storm arrives, gangs of this Pokémon compete with each other to scale heights likely to be stricken by lightning bolts. Some towns use Electabuzz in place of lightning rods.
Abilities: Static/Vital Spirit
This Electabuzz is Male and Registered to Naruto
"An Electabuzz, huh?" muttered Naruto, smirking and putting his Dex away as Thor turned around to face the blond with a cocky-fanged smirk as it flexed its now broadened muscular arms in pride.
"Alright, then, Riolu, round two!" the blond-haired boy grinned, getting Thor's attention as it flexed its muscles and cracked its knuckles, signifying its combat readiness.
"Now, Thor, Thunder Punch!" he ordered.
As lightning discharged from its fur, the newly evolved Electabuzz gave an intimidating roar. It slammed both knuckles together, engulfing both fists in a raging storm of electricity and making a mad dash toward the still-shocked fighting type.
Riolus's eyes widened for a split second before it shone light blue for a moment; as it dodged, giving it the overall speed of a second boost, Riolu could evade the quick jab. Using 'Detect'.
"Don't let up, Thor use Fire Punch!" Naruto exclaimed.
Thor circled back around fisting his palm, as the yellow tiger engulfed his clenched hand on fire; this got awed reactions from the audience as a non-Fighting Type Pokémon is rarely seen using such moves.
With quick reaction, Thor nailed Riolus's left side, forcing him off course, spiraling across the ground.
"Now, Thunderbolt!" Thor gave a primal roar; the yellow cat fired huge waves of high voltage lighting at his target and discharged a lightning bolt, causing Riolu to screech out in pain as bolt after bolt coursed through his body. The dust made from the explosion was lifted into the air.
The dust cloud dispersed, allowing them to see the downed fighting type Pokémon; Riolu had swirled eyes and was slightly burned with static scorch marks.
He rummaged his side pouch for a specific capsule that caught his eye. The top is blue with two red accents, and the bottom is white. He pressed the center button, causing it to grow, "Great Ball, GO!" Naruto tossed it; the ball shot a multi-colored beam and absorbed the Riolu into the capsule.
It shook three suspenseful times before it finally clicked; Naruto beamed as he ran and picked up his new family member.
The crowds spent no time sending cheers and applause for the winners; Thor grinned and laughed childishly as he performed various victory poses for the crowd.
As it landed on its feet, Naruto swiftly let the Emanation Pokémon out of its capsule as the teen knelt, placing a comforting hand on Riolu's shoulder as it held the blond-blue gaze.
"Welcome to the team, Levi." Naruto grinned as Riolu returned with an amused smile; both could feel the adrenaline pumping through their veins as their battle raged on, and as much as they'd enjoyed it, it had to end at some point.
Naruto stood back as the crowd watching flocked over to congratulate Riolu newly named 'Levi' while as complementing its strength and power. Riolu's eyes snapped open seeing a blurred image of Kyle nodding his head in approval, remember the dream from last night, Riolu stood in a white void and sees Kyle in front of it, prompting it to run up to Kyle but was unable to catch up as Kyle drifts away into the distance. He was waking up unable to find Kyle gone.
The tiny fighting type looked again, seeing the image of Kyle vanishing as it passed the gathering crowd, glancing at the tree his trainer liked to rest on and finally withering as the final leaf fell off the dying tree. Looking up at the bare tree, Riolu realizes that Kyle is actually gone as it tries to wipe away unshed tears.
Footsteps shuffled behind him, but Riolu didn't flinch at the familiar feel of Naruto's Aura as he silently knelt beside him. He gave the purple pouch back to Levi only to get caught in its Aura communication. Riolu thanked him for returning its prized possession before the blond pulled the Aura Pokémon in for a soft embrace.
There was something so warm that felt right and smelt right to the Pokémon. Riolu let his body sag; his muscles become loose. Naruto gave him the respect of an equal but cradled him like a cherished child. In that embrace, Riolu felt the teen gently brush its ears as its tears silently fell onto his black cloak...
Naruto loomed behind Levi as they stood in front of Kyle's grave. He gave the Aura Pokémon a moment as he bent down to lay some flowers, they picked on the way there. He watched Levi press his paw against the cold headstone and bow his head for a few moments before settling by his side.
The tombstone was of white rock. The tombstone marked the passing of one who'd been so beloved and left behind the kind of legacy that made the world a better place.
He, too, wished the elder a silent thank you as he thought of the man. Staring at Riolus's small form beside him, he fervently prayed a silent line of gratitude for protecting the baby Pokémon.
He was pulled out of his thoughts when Levi glanced up at him solemnly; Naruto gave it a gentle smile. "He'd be proud of you," he heard himself say.
Its crimson eyes moved back towards the grave as Naruto stepped forward, resting his palm on Kyle's grave, his demeanor serious once more.
"I will never betray your faith, old man Kyle. Thank you." The teen stepped back as Levi looked on as it accepted what happened to his family member and trainer in moving on, but always remembered those precious memories, still clutching onto the purple pouch wrapped around its neck tightly.
"I promise. We'll be back to visit again." Naruto shivered when a soft gust of wind blew through the clearing and sang its songs to stir emotions, letting it bring the sweet memories of times gone and hopes for a promising future ahead.
Two weeks later
Naruto looked up at the sky to see the sun setting over the horizon; it looked past supper time, and they gave the townsfolk a sad smile.
"I'm really sorry, everyone, but I must start heading to the next town."
Everyone was shocked and sad before they returned to normal, but with an understanding look in all their eyes.
"We all know you have your own adventure to go on, but your leave saddens us," Edward said, patting down his long beard.
Naruto frowned a little as he saw how depressed the townsfolk were before he gave a smile.
"Hey, don't be sad. This isn't the last time you'll see me. I promise I will visit you all when I have the time, and it's not like you're alone, right? You have each other, don't you?"
Edward stepped forward and patted Levi's eyes closed in bliss. The elder smiled at the baby Pokémon, remembering when it had hatched and grown up, before stepping back as it looked back. He was startled as Edward nodded, accepting his decision to leave off on his own journey to see the world.
"Remember, you both have a home here always." The map of wrinkles on his face told of the most incredible journey. His eyes told of laughter, warm smiles, and affection. Naruto and Levi nodded in sync.
Some of the folks wiped their eyes and looked at Naruto and Levi with happiness and no trace of sadness at all.
"That's right. We have each other, but you promise to visit?" Kelly asked hopefully as Gardevoir stood by her side.
"Of course, I promise to visit, and if there's one thing about me that you need to know, then Naruto Uzumaki will never break his promises; BELIEVE IT!" Everyone heard this and giggled at how cute it was.
Despite being embarrassed about saying his verbal tics, Naruto was happy that the villagers were happy before he turned around so that his back was facing them. He waved behind him as he left, cheering, and waving by until he disappeared from her view.
The village rippled as it disappeared on the horizon like a mirage; as the trio got far from Silvervale village, Nova released itself as Levi looked up in astonishment, seeing the powerful aura of the legendary Pokémon.
Naruto patted Levi on the head as the boy continued. "This is my master and guardian, Nova. Go on, introduce yourself."
The Genetic Pokémon nodded his head and then talked in a monotone voice.
"Half the time, I feel like a babysitter, cleaning up after your messes." Naruto stepped forward, embarrassed, as Levi and Hikari laughed. While Nova's face was expressionless, the blond grumbled back with crossed arms, continuing to walk ahead away from the powerful legendary as it followed on behind.
"Hey, papa, I saved it!" Hikari shouted excitedly, pointing from her father's shoulder.
"Huh, saved what?" the blond stopped walking, looking at her in confusion.
"Look!" the victory Pokémon points to a small hillside on the right side of the foliage.
The blond looked ahead, spotting a metallic black vehicle just sitting in broad daylight on a hill not too far from where the village was located.
"Wow, I wonder if Officer Jenny ignored this thing or if she even knew this was here?" Nova and Levi's sweat dropped comically.
"How cares! Great work, Hikari! We're traveling out of here in style!" as the blond hopped in a while, fastening Levi and his seatbelt, turning on the ignition, and bringing the Humvee to life. Nova popped out of its ball, ending up in the backseat with a panicked expression. Hikari was adjusting the mirrors in excitement.
'Now Naruto, now let's start …SLOOOOOOOWWWWW!' The Young Uzumaki stepped on the gas and floored it!
The car skidded around the corner and sped off in the distance.
Gas, gas, LEFT!
More swearing filled the back. Naruto grinned, ignoring it as Hikari laughed and leaned over to fiddle with the radio, finding a catch pop song to listen to. She bobbed her head to the beat as the car swerved wildly.
Right! Swerve! BRAKE!
The blond yanked the steering wheel. Tires screamed in agony, smoke and burnt rubber filling the cabin. "Hold on, hold on, hold on!" Nova chant-screamed, hoping Naruto heard it.
Levi cried, 'What have I got myself into!' Hoping the blond listens to the Genetic Pokémon. He looked over his shoulder instead. "Holy Fu-!"
The fighting type spots a bright yellow sign passing by a construction sign about an unfished bridge project ahead. Nova and Levi yelled at the crazy teens' recklessness as the car flew off the end of the unfinished bridge into thin air. Hikari and Naruto cackled like maniacs loudly from the trill.
Unknown Area
"Did it arrive, Fuu?"
"Yes, it arrived on time, Danzo-sama."
In a basement-like area with the only light from the ceiling, one kneeling as they faced the other sitting in a throne-like chair. A large, black Pokémon that resembles a mud statue with two stubby legs. Along the circumference of its head are many round, pink-eye-like structures alternating with yellow studs or beak-like protrusions between each "eye." The mud doll levitated ominously after being thrown close to its trainer.
One was a young man with auburn-colored hair and amber eyes. He wore a short, black jacket with red straps on the shoulders like all elite members of Root, which most likely shows allegiance to the organization. He also wore a short red kimono under the jacket with a black sash, a pair of black gloves, dark-colored pants, and regular sandals with straps that looked like it was possible to run in.
The other was a frail, older man who had a cane on his person as he sat down. He had black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged. He wore a white shirt with a black or dark grey robe over the top of it, covering from his feet to just over his right shoulder. The robe concealed his right arm, which was bandaged if one looked closely.
These were Fu Kurai and Danzo Shimura.
Danzo smirked as he looked at the statue in the glass case that resembled jellyfish tentacles, giving it a vaguely humanoid shape. Several tentacles mesh together, forming the appearance of a cape or long hair, while four shorter tentacles resemble shorter hair and arms. Two long tentacles make up the legs of the human shape.
"Soon, my plans will come to fruition, and the world will be in the palm of my hands."
So please tell me what you think. I know you have been waiting a long time for this. I'm so sorry. I've had quite close people pass from COVID and didn't have the inspiration to write for a bit, but one of my best friends who passed away let me know something his big sister sent in the mail. It was in one of those cool Pokémon lunchboxes from the 90's! He left most of his Pokémon collectibles to me. It made me happy, and the Pokémon I mainly saw in the lunchbox was Lucario. That was his favorite. He had one on his team every game we played, from Diamond/Pearl to the present before his passing. I wasn't going to give Naruto a Lucario since I've read so many stories with Naruto having one, but I now have to make it stick in my stories no matter what! I will have to backtrack and try to finish this story too little by little. I promise not to disappoint you all and make my chapters long as well.
I will answer a few questions for which you all were waiting for.
As you can see, Danzo and Root did appear in the story.
Yes, there is a reason why Naruto is discriminated against within the village. But you'll have to stay tuned to find out why. I will give you a small hint. It pertains to his mother's side of the family.
Yes, there will be a Kurama-like entity laced into the story.
Also, yes. Naruto will have a female companion in the future.
Yes, Ash will appear in the story, but very briefly in one of the future arcs. Then never again!
And no, Naruto is not the only one in the region that has a legendary on their team. I won't spoil it for you all but get ready for a superpowered Arc when the jinchuriki chapter comes out!
Final answer, Naruto will get his revenge upon the village. I promise you that.
