Thank you all! I hope you enjoy this chapter I worked hard on it. I hope you enjoy it.
As the young Uzumaki and his team were almost to Santalune City, but the blond decided to stop for a break to let his teammates relax outside their Pokéballs. Naruto told Tohru to land by a lush waterfall. From a distance, the waterfall had been like a silent white stream cascading over the rocky outcrops. As they had drawn closer, the noise had increased steadily until they were only a few hundred meters away. They could no longer even shout to one another over the deafening roar of the water. Closer still they drew until they were in the plume of water vapor that hung over the plunge pool. Naruto hopped off Tohru before landing on the ground swiftly. He stood in awe.
"This is the perfect place to set up for lunch" he smiled patting Tohrus muzzle for her fast flying as she purred from the blonde's attention. The blond patted Hikari as well as she still held on tightly to her father figure as he reached inside his tattered cloak fishing out all his very assorted Pokéballs releasing all his companions from there capsules at the same time. In a flash, all his Pokémon stood in different places looking from one place to another in curiosity.
"Hey, guys we are stopping for a quick bite to eat before we make it to Santalune City for my first gym badge. I just wanted you guys to take a break and relax for a bit" The blond grinned looking at every single one of his Pokémon large and small.
"I also want to introduce you to our new friend and teammate Ame. He will be joining us during practice battles and swimming drills. I know you guys will help him out with training and getting him adapted to the way we do things" Naruto said to all as his Pokémon as they all nodded their heads in supporting the young water type. Naruto let his team relax until he finished preparing lunch. Nova and Tohru flew off saying they will return when lunch is ready, and the blond nodded watching them fly off before cooking the meals.
While finishing unfolding the table the blond made a spread of fresh bread sandwiches, mounds of fragrant wild rice, sweet-smelling herbal soup and for the dessert course a Bluk berry pie. When the young Uzumaki brought all the saucers full of sandwiches over to the entirely clad table with one my hand and a pitcher of fresh lemonade in the other. The blond smiled spotting Thor and Hikari playing a friendly game of tag with Ame in the lush fields. While the blonde waited for the soup broth to finish boiling he grinned holding up his now updated Pokédex to each one of his Pokémon to get updated data from them.
The blond received Thor from an ex-member of Team Snagem. The blond traveled all the way out passed the Honnen region the blond stumbling upon the outside desert of the Orre region. The Orre region was listed as a distant land separated off from Honnen.
The desert of Orre was covered in rolling hills. The wind stirs up the wispy sand, and the sun's never-ending rays beat down on the blond mercilessly. Salty sweat rolls off his nose stung his eyes. The blonde's clothing was overwhelmingly hot and sticky. The stiff, desert breeze blows sand into his purple eyes and making his blond hair stiff with salt. The teen's tongue feels as if it's coated in fur and his lips are chapped and dry. The young Uzumaki long for crystal, cold water. The young teen stumbled upon a single gasoline stand/diner located in the southeastern desert in the Orre region. Called the Outskirt Stand. Naruto entered the establishment hurriedly pulling up his tattered hood to shelter his head from the blistering sun. The blond hopped onto the stall by the countertop ordering a tall glass of ice water and a couple of scoops of Moomoo ice-cream on the side. The bartender quickly started on the young teen request. The blond now had a chance to look around the shop. The stand itself is made out of an old locomotive engine. The machinery of the standstill works, with the steam engine providing electricity to the appliances inside.
Inside the engine is a small bar and restaurant that doubles as a convenience store. Weary travelers can rest in a booth and sip refreshing drinks while listening to the radio or jukebox. There is also a television, often showing the news.
Orre has no wild Pokémon and has only a few starting to pop up in specific locations, known as Poké Spots. In these circumstances, Trainers use Pokémon imported from regions of the Pokémon nation, primarily Johto and Hoenn. Pokémon battles are, for the most part, Double Battles. There is no form of a Pokémon League in Orre, but instead, a variety of facilities which offer constant battles. The blond was enjoying his frozen treat before noticing a customer that looked like a lab assistant leaving the shop rather quickly with a couple of shady folks following the frightened researcher closely. The blond hurriedly paid the bill before leaving a generous tip for the shop owner on the countertop already tailing the group leaving. When finally making it out to the front of the shop Naruto overheard them arguing about some stolen Pokémon and that their leader dislikes being deceived by traitors.
The scientist held up his hands in a pleading manner hoping to resolve the issue peacefully, but it seems like the other punks did not want to resolve things calmly as they each drew out there Pokéballs releasing a Golbat and an Ariados. Naruto unclipped a special Pokéball from his waist it had a green top decorated with four red dots slanting toward the center button on both sides of the vertical mid-line on the top half and a gold dot near the "top" part of the ball's top. A Friend Ball.
"Go Tohru use Fire Blast now!" the shiny Salamance opened her jaws releasing a powerful star-shaped stream of fire from its mouth at the two opponents, making them both faint from the overly powerful attack. The grunts quickly returned their fainted Pokémon before retreating from the scene immensely terrified of the huge dragoness as she roared after the cowards running away.
The researcher was named Hordel, and he was so appreciative toward the blond he gives the young teen an Elekid in exchange for helping him from being ambushed by those followers of Team Snagem. He explained to the blond he used to be a member of Snagem and work for them but decided to save the Shadow Pokémon instead. Shadow Pokémon are created through an undisclosed process that removes the Pokémon's emotions, turning it into a soulless fighting machine. Hordel asked the blond to take good care of Elekid knowing the blond would be a better trainer for the small electric type then he ever could. Naruto decided to name the electric type Thor. The blond wanted to check if the electric type would like the nickname when he got a chance to ask it. Naruto thanked Hordel before hopping onto Tohrus back before leaving for Unova once again after receiving an unexpected phone call directly from Professor Juniper lab about gathering some Pokédex data.
Naruto heard rustling in the treetops. When he looked up, he spotted one of his Pokémon with its arms resting behind its head, sunbathing. This Pokémon was a large, bipedal, reptilian, gecko-like Pokémon that also possess the traits of dinosaurs. It has powerfully-built limbs and muscular legs that allow it to run at high speeds to chase after its prey in the jungles where it lives. Its body is mostly vivid green in color, and it has a gracefully rounded belly with a horizontal, pale red stripe extending across it. It has a light red chin and narrowed eyes with small, slit pupils and yellow sclera's, with a red rim around the outsides. It has bladed leaves on its wrists, which it uses to slash. It has a long, large dark green, fern-like plant that resembles a tree for a tail and a cluster of small round yellow nutrient-rich seeds growing on its back. It has three sharp green claws on both its hands and toes.
"Comfortable up their Saber?" his grass type muttered out a half-answered replay before dozing off in the treetops. The blond shook his head lifting up his Pokédex to record the data he found.
Sceptile: Forest Pokémon: It agilely leaps about the jungle and uses the sharp leaves on its arms to strike its prey. The leaves growing on Sceptile's body are very sharp edged. This Pokémon is very agile-it leaps all over the branches of trees and jumps on its foe from above or behind.

Naruto smiled Saber was a happy little Treecko when he came with him when he first started his voyage in the Sinnoh region, but Saber wasn't his Pokémon, to begin with.
The south exit of Pastoria City in the Sinnoh region where the Great Marsh was first opening up to the public Naruto was one of the first ones in exploring the great swampland area making sure everything was safe, and no one was breaking the guidelines, and the Pokémon were living happily since the blond could communicate with them Professor Rowan wanted the young Uzumaki to make sure everything was working efficiently. The blond was about to turn back toward the entrance before noticing something crying out in pain. The blond raced toward the sound. The young child found a severely injured Treecko leaned up against a dead log conscious but weak. The blond quickly laid the small grass type down onto the lush grass putting his palms flat facing the frail Gecko. The blond's hands were glowing a light greenish color healing the Pokémon's wounds at a rapid rate. Treecko eyes snapped up suddenly feeling better all of a sudden. Treecko was surprised seeing the human child healing it with nothing but his hands.
"It's okay Treecko I am almost done" the young boy informed the small grass type. When Naruto was done he reached into his backpack pulling out a single Lum Berry and two Sitrus Berries to crush together into a lime colored paste mixing it with some water he feeds the Wood Gecko Pokémon gentle with a spoon until it finished the medicine. Naruto finally asked what happened to it. The Wood Gecko scowled while clenching its paws in irritation explaining to the blond how its trainer abandoned it because it was too weak and wanted to catch a better grass type while he in the Marsh. Naruto eyes sudden change of his deep cerulean eyes turning crimson from just hearing about Treekos previous trainer. Naruto held his head for a second holding back the overwhelming power surge overcoming his tiny body.
"Naruto you must stay in control" Nova voice called out to the blond from inside his Master Ball around his neck
"I know I sorry I lost my composure for a second I apologize" the blond closed his eyes while inhaling and soon exhaled making his eyes turn back to its previous blue color. Treecko was a little curious by the blond kid's powers also how he could understand him. The blond apologized to the grass type as well.
"I can tell you have a lot of spirit and I couldn't think that a Pokémon like you could have that much. I would be honored if you would join my team as we strive to beat the gym leaders and become the best Pokémon trainer in the whole world." Naruto said as he knelt down and held his hand out. Treecko was shocked at first but soon had the small smile nodding at the blond's invitation. Treecko jumped up on top of the blond's shoulder to nibble on his blond as Naruto laughed at the ticklish feeling.
"Welcome to the team, pal." He smiled while reaching for a special Pokéball for his new friend.
"And I know just the Pokéball for you," Naruto said as he took out a Pokéball with a camouflage design on the outside of the ball. A Safari Ball. He touched the ball to Treekos head, and Treecko was sucked in and after a single shake, it dinged, indicating Treecko was caught. Naruto immediately released the Wood Gecko from its Pokéball as it crawled up on his shoulder to nibble once again on the blondes' scalp playfully. The blond laughed thinking for a minute then nodded looking up at the playful Treecko.
"How would you like the nickname Saber, Treecko. I just thought it would be an awesome name for you since you will slash all your opponent's away" he cheered childishly. Treecko thought for a second before nodding in agreement to the name.
"I can tell you powerful Saber. And I know that we'll go far, and you'll become a powerful Sceptile." Naruto said with a smile. Saber nodded still on top of the blond child's head while the pair walked back to the front entrance.
Saber changed overtime when he fully evolved to a Sceptile, not in a bad way he just became lazier when he's on a break. Don't misunderstand, Saber was not disobedient or anything, he would instantly come running if his blond trainer needed him for a battle or training drills, but if the Forest Pokémon did anything with his free time it would be napping in a large tree nearby, that would be on the very top of its list.
Speaking of lazy Pokémon, a loud snore interrupted the blond's blue gaze caught the form of a giant, green, serpentine creature. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two extended, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils now closed from sleep, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw. Serenity was plastered across the wingless dragons' face as he slept. At peace, his features were much softer in sleep, oblivious to the younger Pokémon sliding down his back using the wingless dragon as a human-made slide. The blond teen chuckled to himself.
Rayquaza: Sky High Pokémon: It flies in the ozone layer, way up high in the sky. Until recently, no one had ever seen it. Rayquaza is said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years. Legends remain of how it put to rest the clash between Kyogre and Groudon.
Level: 72 - Abilities: Air Lock

Rayquaza appeared we he first come across Steven and his research team screaming in fright, when the dragon unexpectedly Mega evolved after it ate the Meteorite the scientists were studying. The green dragon believed the humans were invading the Sky-High Pokémon's territory. Naruto had the research team quickly escape before unfastening the Master Ball around his neck and unclipping the Cherish Ball from his belt, releasing both Nova and Mars. Steven couldn't believe his eyes were seeing a child no less commanding two legendries in facing off against the wingless dragon. Rayquaza tried to battle back but was swiftly overwhelmed by both the Genetic Pokémon and the Paleozoic Pokémon.
The battle was problematic, when Rayquaza continually used Dragon Dance and Extreme Speed, making it nearly impossible to detect where it was going to attack next, then again, it's to be expected from a legendary Pokémon. The dragon was highly impressed with the blonde child's, team of course it never before battled against two legendary Pokémon at the same time, Naruto didn't think the wingless dragon would last much longer against Mars and Nova's powerful attacks, but the dragon was doing just that. The Nova and Mars combined their attacks to counter the dragon's superior strength, the duo was finally able to bring it down hard.
Nova Mega evolved into its Mega-Y form moving at Mach speed firing off Ice Beams, Stone Edge and Thunderbolts which dealt an enormous amount of damage to its opponent, Mars tucked its body in moving the same incredible swiftness as Nova using Electroweb, Tri Attack and Gunk Shot while dodging most of the dragon's attacks, Rayquaza suffered significant damage before it was defeated by a combination attack from the pair.
"Mars, Nova finish him off with Techno Blast and Psystrike!" Naruto commanded.
Nova creates a white force field that expands rapidly from its body and firing it at its opponent, which fused with Mars attack as it fires an ice-like beam of energy from its cannon at the Sky-High Pokémon as well (Genesect Chill Drive). The airstrike detonated upon impact sending Rayquaza straight to the ground producing an enormous crater as it landed, defeated with comical swirls in its eyes, Naruto whipped out a black ball, with the yellow forming an "H" on the top of the ball. "Ultra-Ball, Go!" A pale red beam shot forth and sucked in the dragon. The ball shook once... twice... thrice... Ding!
Naruto stood quietly as his Pokémon landed behind the blond not at all tired from their match, he walked over to the Ultra Ball and picked it up. A grin graced his lips, "Yes! I've caught Rayquaza!" he held the Ultra Ball high in the air already looking back to the two legendries to congratulate them on their incredible teamwork but seeing them butting heads trying to shove each other backward by only using their brute strength.
"Your aim was off five meters, you stupid hairless cat!" the Paleozoic point his stinger in Nova's direction
"I do not make simple mistakes like you, Dung bug" Nova fired back in a cold tone
"How many times do I have to tell you, I am not a Dung Bug!" Mars yelled with an angry tick mark beside its head.
"Oh, really you sure behave like one with your shitty comebacks" Nova taunted shrugging his shoulders
"let's go you and me right now!" Mars called out while powering up its back cannon
"Very well, I am in the mood for another warm-up" Nova leered his eyes shining blue, still in his Mega-Y form. Naruto speedily ran over to break up the about to be death battle between his two strongest Pokémon.
A day of rest and his team was back at 100%, he made sure that they stayed within their Pokéballs until he spoke privately with the Honnen champion about what he witnessed. Steven ensured the blond that his secret was safe with him in the custody of legendries. The champion was so impressed by the blondes' quick intellect and battling style he offered the blond a small job confidential within the associates of the Devon Corporation. The blond agreed in doing a few side jobs mostly helping out with specific research and revisions of the main Pokédex data from time to time. The blond help did not go unnoticed the company of course deposited the teen a fine paycheck for his services and received complete updates and the latest state of the art Pokémon technology straight from the main factory best thing about it is that the items he received are not even released out to the public yet, so he gets first to pick before the new products flew off the shelves, free of charge. Naruto also received Chrome as a special gift from the Honnen champion himself.
Naruto chuckled at the memory in fighting Rayquaza that was almost the only time his two powerhouses worked together in taking down an opponent. They made a fantastic team even though they didn't think so. Sora carefully rolled onto his side and looked at the blond with one eyelid open shooting the teen a blank look while letting out a lazy yawn. Not caring that the young Pokémon were hoping all over his still body. Naruto rubbed the Sky-High Pokémon's snout softly before walking over to the edge of the lake. Sora closed his eyes once more satisfied giving of peaceful aura.
Naruto suddenly felt a firm shove followed by a deep growl coming from behind him. The blond looked over beside himself spotting a massive quadruped, yellow feline Pokémon with black stripes on its body. Its iris is red in color with a black pupil. It has a purple mane on its back, with white fur around its face. It has a thin, light blue colored tail with a spark shaped figure at its tip. It has a black forehead plate, with a light blue muzzle in the shape of an 'X'. It has three claws on each of its feet. The blonde chuckled stroking the purring saber tooth feline as it nuzzled against the teens' side wanting affection.
Raikou: Thunder Pokémon: The rain clouds it carries let it fire thunderbolts at will. They say that it descended with lightning. Raikou embodies the speed of lightning. The roars of this Pokémon send shock waves shuddering through the air and shake the ground as if lightning bolts had come crashing down.
Level: 62 - Abilities: Pressure/Volt Absorb
This Raikou is Male and Registered to Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto first comes across Zeus when the child was training with Nova nearby. Raikou was lured away by Team Rocket agents, using a device invented by Professor Sebastian. Raikou freed the Electric-type Pokémon trapped from inside the machine the agents were using. With Raikou there, they turn on the device to protect themselves from Raikou's electric attacks. As Raikou was beaten, Naruto stepped in to prevent Team Rocket from harming Raikou even further. Naruto released Tohru and Tessa to battle against the grunts, making them retreat.
After defeating the agents, Raikou was still injured and when Naruto offered to help him, Raikou fired some electricity at him, but the blond easy blocked the electricity with his powerful aura blocking any attacks. Nova released himself from his Pokéball protecting Naruto from any more electrical blasts, Raikou was surprised by the sudden encounter in meeting another legendary. Raikou felt the blonde's inner power and allowed Naruto to help him recover. Raikou was treated in a more secluded part of the forest away from civilization where he would recover faster. Naruto continued to heal the Thunder Pokémon with his healing aura. After Raikou was fully healthy, he slipped away from the group and went after Team Rocket again. The device once again proved to be a challenge for Raikou. With Raikou once again weakened by the machine. The Team Rocket agents used a capture bubble to absorb his electricity, but Tohru, Saber, and Kage's attacks destroy it. However, this didn't stop Attila from taking Raikou as he successfully placed him in the cargo hold of the mecha. Unbeknownst to the grunts, Naruto was caught too. The blond was able to open the door of the cargo hold and Raikou managed to jump out before the door closed. Far from the crystal's activation, Raikou attacked it which caused destruction from the machine's energy waves.
Despite the machine being rendered useless, Team Rocket had a trick up their sleeve. With the control panel destroyed, the crystal became twice as powerful since it is running on auto-destruct. The crystal grabbed Raikou and trapped him inside a bubble. The group does their best with destroying the bubble as it proved to be a challenge for them unlike last time. Tohru and Saber volunteered to drain the energy from the force field. Despite the grunts stopping them from freeing Raikou, Raikou broke out in the nick of time to protect the group from the grunts Pokémon's attacks. Raikou then destroyed the contraption for good and ran off into the forest. Naruto had Mewtwo hold down the Team Rocket agents while he called Officer Jenny and Officer Anko informing Pokémon poachers were stealing Pokémon. The police found the criminals tied up against a tree wrapped with a sturdy rope. The officers found all the evidence the police needed to put the grunts in jail but couldn't detect who made the call though. After the police department interrogated the grunts but then again none of them could remember who tied them up or the person that stopped their plans from capturing the Thunder Pokémon in the first place.
Naruto soon found the Thunder Pokémon after the police were far enough gone. The blond one was again healing him without a second thought. Naruto conversated with the massive electric saber tooth cat like he was having a cup of coffee with an old friend. Raikou observed blond child calmly working on his previous injuries. Although the cat still shot glances at Nova leaning against a tree, from time to time while the. Naruto offered a few Struis berries and Lum berries of any status issues. Raikou took the berries gently out of the blond's small hands chewing on the sweet fruits. When the berries were taking effect, the blond packed up the rest of his supplies and gear getting up ready to wave goodbye to the Thunder Pokémon but stopped when the electric cat as well stood up the same time as the blond. The thunder cat was a few inches taller than the human child when standing face to face. Raikou brushed up against the blond child as he allowed Naruto to stroke him as he purred.
"How are you feeling?" Red eyes slid over to the blond child as he finished petting him
"I don't think team rocket will come back anytime soon, Nova erased all their memories and everything dealing with their schemes so you're safe now" saber-tooth cat dipped his head down momentarily letting out a soft growling in gratitude.
Naruto's grin widened. "I'm glad to see that you are well again, so what will you do now Raikou? Are you going to go back home?" Raikou looked at him, and then got up and trotted over to Naruto's side, sniffing at the Pokéballs. Naruto, not understanding why looked down as well. "What? These are my Poke balls. They're all full see?"
Raikou's eyes narrowed at the information, and he nudged Naruto's side with his nose. The Thunder Pokémon sounded insistent and Naruto couldn't figure it out.
"What?" he asked, hearing Nova scoff. Raikou sniffed at his Pokéballs again, and then nudged him. Naruto processed this and ran it over in his mind a few times before his eyes snapped wide open. Slowly, he moved his pack off his back and to his side, the Raikou watching his every move. Naruto dug deep into his backpack and pulled out a Pokéball with yellow half-circles on the sides of both the top and bottom halves, with the top half being primarily red and carrying a lightning-bolt yellow mark on the very top. A Fast Ball. Raikou's eyes widened and he perked up.
Naruto held the Pokéball up. "Raikou, do you want—?" Raikou didn't even let him finish, because he raised up onto his clawed paw forward, touching the button in the middle and letting the white light swallow him up. It locked immediately without a struggle.
Naruto just gave his hand a stupefied look. "I guess . . . I caught Raikou?"
"I am assuming you earned Raikou's respect in a way" the blond looked over to his first Pokémon with a confused face.
"Raikou could sense your true emotions and felt content in being in your company. Especially the way you selflessly protected him from being captured as well as healed him without asking for anything in return. A sense of justice as you humans call it" the blond nodded looking back down to the Fast Ball in his hand nodding to himself.
"I was going to call him Zeus, what do you think. Raikou never really got a chance for me actually to tell him, you know?"
"The god of thunder. I think that is a fitting name for someone with his aptitudes" Mewtwo nodded as the blond once again grinned in catching a new friend.
After the blond finished petting the large feline, Zeus padded over to the shade trees, lick his paws before settling down for a quick catnap while waiting for Naruto finished preparing lunch. The young shook his head at Zeus cat-like antics.
The teen turned back to finish lunch but unexpectedly felt a sudden chill, crawling up his spine he felt on a regular basis. Naruto heaves a sigh then grinned looking toward his own shadow connected to the shade part beneath the trees he stood under.
"Come out Kage you can't hide from me this time, I felt your presence entering my body" the teen smirked feeling the once chilling presence leaving his body. Turning around with his Pokédex still in hand. A shadow-like, round-bodied Pokémon with two large, pointed ears and short spikes lining its back. Its two red eyes and a toothy, sinister smile. It has claws on its hands. Kage floated above the blond teen, snickering in being found out. Naruto first met Kage when he voyaged to the Kanto region in Lavender town.
Gengar: Shadow Pokémon: Should you feel attacked by a sudden chill, it is evidence of an approaching Gengar. It apparently wishes for a traveling companion. Since it was once human itself, it tries to create one by taking the lives of other humans.

This Gengar is Male and Registered to Naruto Uzumaki
When visiting Lavender towns Volunteer Pokémon House to talk to Mr. Fuji about a small task Professor Oak wanted to check out, but instead met one of its volunteers, Reina. Reina told Naruto that Team Rocket was near town poaching the ghost type Pokémon still living inside the tower, and how a newborn Cubone had lost its mother to them, and Team Rocket had then taken over the Pokémon Tower as their headquarters and kidnapped the owner of the Pokémon House, Mr. Fuji. Naruto decided to take Team Rocket on, so he went to the overtaken Pokémon Tower, where he encountered a sinister Gengar. Gengar was hostile at first thinking the blond child was a part of Team Rocket trying to tear down the tower. Naruto tried explaining the situation to the Shadow Pokémon, but the ghost type did not listen as it hurled never-ending Shadow Balls at the child. Naruto called out Saber the young Uzumaki's Grovyle to fighting off the threat, but then Team Rocket suddenly appeared from the upper floor trying to capture both Gengar and the blonds Pokémon but was stopped by an eerie howl from an unidentified presence.
A ghostly figure formed, which was then revealed to be Cubone's deceased mother, Marowak. Reina appeared with Cubone, who had a tender reunion with its mother. Team Rocket tried once again to attack the group but was overpowered in battle by both Gengar and Saber, so they retreated. Naruto advanced to the Tower's highest floor, where he found a tied-up Mr. Fuji. Naruto returned to the Pokémon House, where Mr. Fuji gave the young blond a Poké Flute and two unfamiliar stones. Naruto soon returned to the Pokémon tower to Gengar and the ghost type Pokémon carrying a big batch of Sitrus Berries and Oran Berries as an apology in getting the ghost/poison type caught up in all the drama. Naruto bowed to ghost type showing that his apology was genuine, nonetheless the ghostly Gengar just laughed as it jumped through the air and grabbed onto the startled blond. Naruto froze when Gengar licked him across the face with a slimy tongue. Naruto laughed while whipping off the rest of the ghosts' drool.
The ghost Pokémon insisted the blond should spend the night within the Pokémon tower the small child agreed as well making sure all the Team Rocket grunts were gone. Gengar seemed to grow fond for the blond child as they sat around a glowing lantern while they all chatted with the child snuggled up in his sleeping bag. All the Pokémon were fascinated that the blond could communicate with them, they were delighted to talk to him. Gengar grew curious when Naruto stated he loved playing pranks too and shared a few of his successful pranks with the ghost types before the child left his old village making the Shadow Pokémon laugh out in glee from the young child funny stories. The Shadow Pokémon called a few of the Barnette's and Duskulls living in the tower over to attempt to put on a comedy act for the blond by acting as a pair of performers. Naruto did enjoy the small comedy act while clapping in the end as the ghost types bowed from the praise. Gengar trailed the blond the next day telling him he wanted to tag along with Naruto throughout his journey also eager to do a few pranks along the way. Giving him the nickname Kage, the blond caught him within a Dusk Ball.
The blond chuckled as the ghost/poison type flew off into the treetops to probably mess with Saber until lunch was ready. The teen smiled returning to work in finishing up the large meal for his team.
The blond teen whipped the sweat from his brow after organizing all the dishes he was serving and was about to set the table. The teen hauled up a large stack of tableware in his hands before looking over to the shaded tree line spotting a bulky foxlike Pokémon covered mainly in dark grayish fur. Walking toward the blond from the dimness of the shaded trees on its hind legs. It has a pointed muzzle, red lining around its eyes and mouth, teal eyes, a fluffy black ruff of fur around its neck, and a long, voluminous crimson red spiky mane with gray tips. A teal-colored band encircles the bottom part was mane like a ponytail. It has three sharp red claws on both its hands and feet.
"Hey, Menma, is the Illusion barrier up okay?" the black furred foxlike nodded approaching closer to cuddle the blond a bit making him chuckle. The Illusion fox took the hefty tableware from the blond teen arms, helping him pass out the plates and utensils on top of the clothed table.
Zoroark: Illusion Fox Pokémon: Bonds between these Pokémon are very strong. It protects the safety of its pack by tricking its opponents. It doesn't just transform itself—it also has the power to make hundreds of people see its illusions.
Level: 47 - Abilities: Illusion
This Zoroark is Female and Registered to Naruto Uzumaki
Menma made sure to put up a powerful illusion every time the whole group came out to relax in hiding them from unfriendly individuals close by. Naruto always saw Menma as the overprotective big sister of the group making sure everyone was safe and taken care of. Naruto was passing through the Lostlorn Forest but got lost on the way.
"Before I even arrived in this place that Backpacker dude at the entrance said there were signs located all over the place leading individuals out of the forest and they were easy to spot from a respectable distance, but since I been in here I have not even noticed any signs what so ever and I feel like I have been walking for miles!" the blond shouted in a rant before sighing in defeat still trying to find an exit out of this maze. The blond trended deeper into the forestry completely lost before stumbling upon an uninhibited trailer in the middle of the forest and grew curious. The blond approached the trailer, noticing a woman emerging from the trailer while displaying a stern expression. The blond held up his map trying to ask for directions to the silent woman hoping she could assist him in directing him to the exit. The woman suddenly started emanating a bright crimson aura around her.
"Naruto get away from her now!" Nova demanded before the woman let out a screeching growl before attacking the blond head on. Naruto hopped back speedily, executing a couple of backflips out of the way from the mysterious lady's frontal assault. The mysterious woman started to change in front of the blonds very eyes. Naruto was unexpectedly facing a snarling shiny Entei aggressively clawing the ground.
"Zeus, I choose you!" Naruto tossed out his Fast Ball, freeing the Thunder Pokémon. Zeus released an earth-shattering roar, standing in front of the blond child protectively ready to fight. The shiny Entei stood a respectable distance away from the duo, waiting for them to make the first move. Naruto quickly ran through strategies in his head, he knew that the wild Entei was slower compared to Zeus by looking at the way it was waiting for them to make the first move, Zeus would be best to try countering its speed.
"Okay Zeus, I don't know what it will throw at us, so don't let your guard down." Naruto ordered, and the saber-tooth cat nodded in understanding. "Right let's do this!"
"Sprint ahead by zig-zagging towards him!" Zeus didn't hesitate and followed orders, then just as expected the shiny Entei momentarily vanished from view before reappearing directly above the Thunder Pokémon.
"Use Sandstorm to blind him!" it worked, just before Enteis' claws came down on Zeus' head the electric cat stomped down onto the ground, causing a giant twister of sand to spread out all over the field, causing Entei to be hit by the strong winds. Enteis' attack was knocking him off course.
The fire type got it's barring together before fired a scorching hot Flamethrower. Its mouth flicked with flames before it unleashed the flamethrower directly into Zeus. The flames were so intense it completely blew away the sandstorm, the high temperature utterly canceling off the dust tornado.
"Dodge it Zeus!" he jumps back as of the command. Entei also bounced back to avoid any further damage from his opponent, but Naruto was already planning ahead.
"Use Bulldoze now!" the blond commanded, and instantly Zeus stomps down on the ground creating a shock wave onto the ground. The shock wave then crashes directly into Entei causing it to cry out in pain. After the wild Entei received a fair amount of damage, a shimmer of black flames enclosed over the legendary fire type, before the illusion dispersed, revealing a snarling Zoroark in its place.
The dark type tried jumping back to avoid further damage, but then again Naruto was already cooking up a strategy. "Rock Smash, Zeus!" the said attack shined white before its claws smashed directly into the dark type Pokémon doing double the damage. The lone attack had enough force to send the Illusion fox skidding back flinching from the pain.
"Now use Calm Mind before it attacks another time!" Naruto shouted getting on the defensive now that Zoroark was out of range. Zeus stood ready surrounding himself in a colorful barrier increasing its power waiting for an incoming attack, which finally came in the form of a speedy Shadow Claw swinging horizontally trying to hit the saber tooth feline. "Counter, it with Iron Tail!"
Both attacks collided, making small sparks fly off in different directions. Equally, both Pokémon held their ground, with Zeus bright white tail smashing against Zoroark's black aura claws. "Now jump over his claws and then use Wild Charge!" the Thunder feline did as the child instructed, Zeus canceled his attack before soared straight over the dark types limbs completely getting some air before its body becomes surrounded by yellow electricity, before tackling the fox leaving a massive explosion in its wake.
Zoroark tumbled out of the haze of smoke onto its back from the blow, obviously dazed. When the fox tried getting on its feet, the blond noted small sparks of electricity coming off Zoroark's thick pelt, its form more sluggish. Noticing the dark type was now paralyzed from Zeus previous attack 'Now's my chance.'
"Finish this, by using Aura Sphere!" Naruto ordered the Thunder Pokémon follow through. Zeus opens his jaws forming a bright, light blue orb of energy in front of it. It then fires the orb at the sneering fox. As soon as Zoroark got back onto one knee the attack hit instantly finally knock it out of the battle, Zoroark blacking out.
The blond hurriedly pulled out a special Pokéball that was entirely black with a gold band around the middle as well as a gold button and carries rings of red on both halves which themselves are flanked by rings of gold. A Luxury Ball. Naruto tossed the Luxury Ball in the direction of the downed dark type. It was momentarily surrounded by a light until it was sucked into the ball, Naruto waited anxiously as the black ball shook once, twice, a third time then dinged. The blonde beamed rubbed the saber tooth felines head as it purred in pleasure from the blond's gentle strokes before returning him to his Pokéball, before thanking him from a job well done.
When the blond picked up the Luxury Ball the true expanse of the Lostlorn Forest was suddenly revealed, and the same Backpacker from the entrance reappeared and became surprised when Naruto explained his lengthy story and his battle (of course not informing the backpacker about him having a legendary himself) that the suspicious woman was really a Zoroark in disguise, who was only protecting her home by deceiving both people and Pokémon using illusions. He then states that Zoroark probably reacted strongly to the blond somehow. Naruto asked if it was okay to call her Menma, she did nothing to voice her objection to the nickname, so the blond kept it. Menma didn't trust Naruto in the beginning but quickly grown fond of the young child later on when he showed her kindness and genuine care if she felt anxious.
"If you want to go Menma, you're more than welcome to. It's your choice and if you want to leave, I will more than understand." Naruto said as Zoroark looked at the blond in astonishment from his kind words. Menma's eyes then glowed blue as it read Naruto's emotions and Naruto was truthful. Menma then shook her head no, deciding to stay. From that point on she choose to trust the blond child and stay by his side.
Naruto left Menma to prep the table until he licked his lips, trying to wet his mouth. The blond eyed up to his water bottle picking it up seeing nothing but the very bottom, the teen sighed as if it would have magically filled itself while he wasn't paying attention. A slight breeze blew past, making him shield his gaze. The object landed softly by the lakeside looking at its reflection.
The Pokémon was a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon with a metal body and a saucer-shaped head. It is primarily red with several gray markings. It has two large purple eyes and a small white part that could be either its mouth or a vent. It has thin arms with overlapping segments. Each arm ends with a single, pointed claw. There is a gray circle on each shoulder, and a gray band around its abdomen. Its segmented legs each end with a large, upward curving claw. The powerful cannon on its back and other enhancements were added as part of the bizarre modifications made to it by Team Plasma.
Genesect: Paleozoic Pokémon: This Pokémon existed 300 million years ago, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. Team Plasma altered it and attached a cannon to its back.

The blond gripped his knuckles in rage remembering the information he sent to Professor Juniper about the Paleozoic Pokémon because it was forcefully experimented on by the crazed organization of Team Plasma. Remember when he first met the ancient Pokémon.
Naruto was called in for a brief meeting with the Unova regions main Professor, Aurea Juniper wanting help with a specific project she was researching on and wanted the young blonde's participation in her latest development. Needing specific research data, she had Naruto fly out to New Tork City to the main library to investigate the ancient text relating to the legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom. While Naruto checked out the books needed for the female professor he was soon pushed to the side from a mob of terrified civilians running away in the opposite direction. The blonde soon found out there was a group of Genesect that went on a rampage throughout the City while attempting to search for their ancient habitat, thus bringing them into conflict with Nova. Naruto called out Nova to battle with the leader of the pack a red Genesect. The two powerhouses battled in the upper atmosphere leaving the planet for a brief moment before making a huge crater in the middle of the cities square. Whatever Nova discussed with the red Genesect made the Paleozoic Pokémon see things through a different light. The Bug/Steel type wished to travel alongside the blond and his team determined to get stronger to battle Nova on an even playing field. The blond nodded wholeheartedly catching the shiny Genesect in a Cherish ball. He decides to nickname him Mars like the crimson planet. Mars had a few hiccups in holding back its full strength during practice battles, soon later he got into the swing of things when Naruto gave him a stern talking to when helping their teammates get strong together as a family not doing things alone.
Mars and Nova butted heads every chance they got. Their relationship reminded the blond of Ino and Sakura trivial quarrels.
'I need to fill up my water bottle later when I get the chance'he thought putting down his empty container by his things before walking over to the vast body of water, bending down scooping a good hand full of clear liquid glopping down a good amount quenching his thirst. An enormous sleuth surrounded the young teens form from overlooking the lake, gaining the teens' attention he noticed a dragon-like Pokémon that is serpentine in shape and covered in blue and yellow scales. It has white fins on top of its body and it has a tan underbelly. It has fins on the side of its face and a large, blue crest on its forehead. Like Magikarp, it has "whiskers". The large Pokémon roared heatedly while facing the heavens. Naruto reared back shielding his eyes while standing right next to the massive water snake with no trouble at all from its monstrous roar.
"Hey, Tessa, how's the water feel girl?" Naruto asked as the massive serpentine bent down giving the teen a messy lick that lifted him off the ground, with an eye smile. Naruto wiped most of the drool off him and chuckled at his oversized Gyarados splash the blond a bit, once Tessa had evolved her size as a Magikarp had made her even bigger as a Gyarados. Naruto laughed, knowing that Gyarados were meant to be fearsome Pokémon yet Tessa seemed as playful as Victini at times. He stroked Tessa's scales causing her to turn her head to him, she was still seemingly happy. The blond pulled out a few Belue berries from his side pouch tossing a few to Tessa, who caught them eagerly while he munched on the remaining few while hold up his Pokédex.
Gyarados: Atrocious Pokémon: A tale is told of a town that angered Gyarados. Before the sun rose the next day, flames utterly consumed the town, leaving not a trace behind. Some people swear that any place Gyarados appears is fated for destruction.

Tessa first appeared as an overly large Magikarp that Naruto fished exclusively from the Lake of Rage of the Johto region, where the champion Lance caught the red colored Gyarados that was on a rampage not that long ago. Tessa was so massive she snapped the blonds rod when he tried pulling her up out of the water. She swam away taking the blonds bait with her. The blond still repeatedly fished until he found her again but wished he caught her on better circumstances. The Magikarp the child was trying to catch before unexpectedly evolved into a Gyarados when defeating some Team Rocket grunts that were still snooping around route 43. She blasted the grunts away with a powerful Hydro Pump. The giant water serpent quickly befriended the blond after, seeing the blond human was trying to protect her former home from the unwanted guests. Afterward, she challenged Naruto to a battle wanting to test to see if the young child would be a suitable alpha. Naruto called out Kage his Gengar in battling with the mighty Flying/Water type. While the blond came out the victor, he decided to name her Tessa. Tessa wholeheartedly agreed to the name and to travel alongside the blond wherever he went. She allowed Naruto to catch her inside a Lure Ball without as much as a fuss.
When Naruto was about to call over his team to the teen noticed Hikari glided over snatching an extra Bluk berry from one of the spare leftover bowls.
"Papa is lunch ready yet, I'm really hungry?" Hikari questioned still munching on the berry.
"We just finished Hikari" The petite fire type squealed in delight from the blond's words. The blond chuckled advising her to let everyone know lunch was ready to be served. She cheered happily once again before swallowing the rest of the sweet fruit whole already hovering off happily to inform everyone lunch was ready.
Victini was the cause of countless wars long ago because thousands of people wanted victory.
The young teen traveled to the westernmost pier of the Castelia City harbor, to Liberty Pier. The cheerful captain of the boat docked here recognized the blonds Liberty Pass, and volunteer to take the teen to Liberty Garden himself.
The ocean breeze whispered in his ear, placing salty kisses on his whiskered cheeks and tousling his long blond locks. On days like this it's peaceful the draft blowing through the sails of the boat, flutters its flags and pushes along the blue waves. I beamed feeling the small waves pushing against the vessel, sending white spray high in the air. The ocean breeze on his chest took him right back to his youthful years on the road with Nova. The salty taste of the air on his tongue and the scent of the sea in his nostrils while closing his eyes to the lullaby of the ocean, breathing in its poignant salty breath. Just listening to the squawking of Wingulls flapping their wings rapidly along the shoreline had him feel content, whole, happy.
Naruto looked across the ocean as he took in the landmass of the famous Liberty Garden since it was not exactly opened up to the community yet. It was an island located in the south-east area of the Unova Region, which requires a Liberty Pass. Naruto received the item as a thank you gift from the female professor from helping her out with her latest project as well as the Genesect incident too. According to Professor Juniper, the island was bought by an extremely rich man. She believes he was trying to protect the mythical Pokémon Victini. The blond hoped to at least get a photograph of this mysterious Pokémon. When the blond undocked the boat, he made his way toward the largest tower on the island. When the teen treaded closer to the tower he noticed there are two Team Plasma grunts Outside of the tower. The grunt quested why the blond was there before calling out there Pokémon to attack the teen. The grunts sent out a Patrat and a Sandile.
"Menma let's go!" As the black bipedal fox came out with a deep howl making the smaller Pokémon and the grunts clutch each one another in fright, when the Menma shot them a feral smirk. "use, Hyper Voice now." The wail from Menma was enough to take down both Pokémon in one hit, causing them to faint. Both Team Plasma grunts retreated after returning there downed Pokémon.
Before heading into the tower, Naruto phoned Professor Juniper about Team Plasma infiltrating the island. Professor Juniper said she would be there shortly with the police.
There were Team Plasma grunts all over the tower trying to capture the blond, but their battle experience wasn't anything special, soon after the blond finished them off quickly in no time. While the teen traveled to the top he interrogated one of the grunts in why the organization was trespassing on this island. The minor grunt informed the teen that Team Plasma was hoping to capture Victini to use in their future schemes. Naruto knocked all the grunts out with a swift chop to the back of their necks before tying them up outside for the police to get to them quicker. Naruto finally, reaches the lighthouse's hidden room at the top, where it said that Victini has been living for a long time.
There was one more Team Plasma grunt there with a Watchog, nothing the blond couldn't handle. Naruto blasted the normal type and the grunt away with a direct hit with Menma's Focus Blast. Finally, when you have defeated the last grunt, in tying him up with the rest of the group the blond approached Victini to see the poor thing hiding under its blankets shaking in fear.
Naruto returns Menma before following the sound of the soft sobs. Waiting patiently until the tiny fire-type calmed down. Her room was like a wonderland for comic driven recluses. The walls were a deep red that pulsed in the light, sprinkled with various posters, mostly of strange Japanese cartoon shows. I doubted she could read whatever was written on the poster. Her comforter was pulled over her bed, even though she hadn't cleaned it. The result was lumps of varying sizes and shapes and the comforter was weighed down by different Pokémon plushies. A desk sat in one corner, littered with wadded up pieces of paper and colored pens. A few shelves were pushed against the walls and filled with picture books. Some books sat on the floor in front of the shelves.
Naruto sat on the hardwood floor right next to her and followed her gaze to the setting sun, saying nothing. She wiped her wet nose with her paws and glanced his way. "Who are you, are you here to capture me too?" the blond shook his head no telling her he was just there to talk.
Then Victini's stomach growled as Naruto noticed the tiny fire rabbit looked hungry. Naruto smiled and reached into one of his bags and took out a pouch full of Nanab Berry flavored Poffins. "Here. You look hungry." Naruto said as he held them out but the Victory Pokémon it backed up a bit, wary of Naruto. Naruto understood and put them on the comfier of the bed and moved to the side.
Victini then slowly moved forward and looked at the pink colored Poffins and then at Naruto. It then took one of the Poffins with its paw and bit down. "This is yummy!" Victini said happily as she munched the Poffin with gusto. It then moved onto the next Poffin and then the others. Naruto smiled as he took out two more Poffins and a bottle of Momo milk he got from a stand back in Castelia City. He took the cap off the bottle and left it there as Victini quickly ate the other Poffins and drank the Momo milk rapidly.
Victini finished the milk and put the bottle down. "Thank you." she said as it let out a sigh of satisfaction, causing Naruto to smile.
"Glad you're feeling better. You looked like you hadn't eaten in a while." Naruto said as he broke off a part of his apple and held it out to the mythical Pokémon. "Go ahead." Victini got from out under the blankets and sat down on the side of the bedspread and ate the apple. "Besides, it's nice to eat with some company."
"Your right, it is" Victini agreed as it ate a chunk of the apple.
"So, you want to tell me the complete story in why you're up here sealed away from everything in this tower like an imprisoned princess?" Naruto questioned pleased in seeing Victini's blushing face. Victini enlightened to the blond about how a rich person bought Liberty Garden Island a long time ago and kept Victini in the tallest tower to protect it from greedy trainers who wanted its power. "What an idiot. What kind of person traps Pokémon away without even returned to see if they are okay. Besides, living here alone with anyone to guide them. None of this is your fault. If anything, it was that wealthy person's fault for not letting you travel the world the way you want to, it seems like whoever that person did not give you much of choice in the matter, did they?" Naruto said as Victini shook its head 'no' enjoyed the kind words the blond spoke.
"Thank you, blond haired human, you are kind." Victini shyly smiles up at the teen.
"Don't mention it. I hate people who won't consider the Pokémon's feelings. It just gives humans a bad name" After that, Naruto released Nova, Mars, Menma, Saber, Thor and Kage having a small party of sorts, the small gathering seemed to get Victini more relaxing and more social around other Pokémon and starting up a decent conversation. Kage cracked a couple of jokes getting the fire bunny to giggle a bit by making her calmer. Until it was time to head back to the to the mainland and get some sleep. Naruto stretched before returned his all Pokémon.
When the blonde stood up and looked at Victini shooting her big grin. "Victini. Today was a fun day. It was nice to meet you." Naruto said with a smile.
"I had lots of fun too." Victini said with a small smile but was unhappy to think the gentle blond teen her new friends would be gone, leaving her alone once again. Naruto noticed the Victory Pokémon floppy ears droop down unhappy.
"Victini do you like to come along with me?"
"Really you want me to come with you, I am not strong, and what if I mess something up."
Naruto held her gaze, "I don't care about much power you possess, I will love you just the way you are. I love all my other Pokémon equally and that will never change. You are just like the rest of us, you make mistakes. You will continue to make them too, as do I. But what's so special about you is that you own them, feel the hurt and force the pain to make you better."
"May I call you Papa, I always wanted a daddy for myself?" she asked tearing up fearful of being rejected.
"You may call me whatever you like, but of course I'll be your Papa. And you will be my little princess. I am going to take good care of you. . . Hikari, my little light" he stroked the Victory Pokémon softly brushed her warm fur gently. Whereas the Victory Pokémon cried tears of joy in finally having a family of her own. The teardrops landed on top of the bedspread and together with her tears shaped together into a single Pokéball, but what made this capsule different was the pink and dark pink patterns on top of the capsule and a dark purple and white design on the bottom half of the capsule. A Dream Ball. Naruto heard of these special Pokéballs but never seen one up close before. Naruto picked up the rosy colored capsule smiling while lightly tapping Victini's over the head consuming her in a bright light capturing her on the first shake of the pink ball.
Victini: Victory Pokémon: When it shares the infinite energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power. This Pokémon brings victory. It is said that Trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter.

The blond instantly freed Hikari from her ball as she sobbed trying to whip away her trickle of tears as she placed her paw into Naruto's hand. The mythical Pokémon gave it a gentle squeeze before gliding over by the blond to nestle deeply into the teen's shoulder and together they walked out of the tower.
Naruto is certainly pleased by how far Hikari changed since parting from the secluded island of Unova. Since then Hikari works hard during training sessions help out her teammates also to make her father figure proud of her. She only speaks when around his Pokémon and alone with no one around to see, she only reemerges from being invisible when she feels safe or if she's close to the blond Uzumaki, she's still distrustful of some people.
"Food's ready!" Naruto called as he and Menma started pouring equal portions into everyone's bowls as well splitting up pieces of the berry dessert.
"Dig in, we have plenty!" Just before he could enjoy the meal, he heard the familiar chime of his Xtransceiver from his backpack.
"Mm . . . I wonder who that is?" Naruto spoke aloud, preparing to get up and fetch the pack. When it glowed blue and floated up to him he grabbed it and smiled at Mewtwo still eating. "Thanks Nova." He just nodded silently before scooping up another spoonful of warm soup.
"Suck up" Mars muttered, before continuing his meal. Nova used his telekinesis in splashing the red bug/steel in its face. Mars whipped the warm broth of his face before cleanly slicing through Nova's glass of lemonade like butter when the Genetic Pokémon tried tasting the cold drink. Both of them glared hatefully at each other about to get up out their seats to attack one another. The blond swiftly grabbed both Pokémon by the shoulders forcing them to sit down.
"Cut it out right now, you two." Naruto said before bopped the two upside their heads, silencing their petty quarrel.
"Do not make me separate you guys" the blond added as he noticed the two legendries shooting each other dirty looks before quickly turning back to their bowls, innocently eating. Naruto then grabbed his X-transceiver out of his bag and put on his end of the call, immediately a tall, slender young lady with long, wavy, creamy blonde hair and gray eyes, black wearing all black popping up. "Yo, Cynthia!" Naruto greeted with a smile. "How are you?"
"I am doing well Naruto" Cynthia smiled.
"Where are you now, Cynthia?" the teen questioned curiously
"I'm visiting an old friend in Undella Town it's a large resort town in eastern Unova." She answered
"Undella Town? I think I heard of it, but I only heard that it's an incredible place for vacation spots?" Naruto asked, having never been there.
Cynthia chuckled. "To the east of the town is Undella Bay, where you can access an underwater temple known as the Abyssal Ruins. And yes, it is a lovely vacation resort too. Now Naruto, why didn't you call me right away when you first arrived in Kalos?"
"Yeah I know but—"
Cynthia pressed on. "You know I worry about my little brother, you don't want me to fly over there and pick you up myself, do you?"
Naruto shifted remorsefully. "No, I got to Kalos early this morning, but I was—"
"So why didn't you call? Was there anything immediate that needed your attention that badly?"
"Well . . . no . . ." Naruto admitted softly making the blond young lady sigh.
"Naruto, I expect you to be more responsible than this. I do not care if it's Arceus itself that needs to speak with you, you can spare a few minutes to call and let me, or Steven know where you are. We ask for a call once in a while because we care." The Sinnoh champ scolded, and Naruto nodded.
"Now that you understand, please tell me about your journey so far?" Cynthia joked with a small smile. "Did you get to Santalune City yet?" she questioned.
"No, not yet. I was going to call you when I first got there by the way" Naruto answered. The Sinnoh region champion and the blond teen conversated for a while longer until she had to end the phone call on her end.
"I have to go Naruto. Be safe and remember to call us okay" the slender young lady smiled waving farewell and when Naruto reciprocated, the X-trans cut off. Naruto sighed putting the device away and returned to his now cold lunch.
Once everyone was done eating, Naruto cleaned up with everyone pitching in to get the job done quickly before continuing on his way to Santalune City after returning the others into their Pokéballs, except for Hikari. He shortly after arriving in Santalune City, The Kalos native couldn't help but be excited as they got closer to the Santalune City gym. The blond passed by a fountain, which has a metal sculpture of a Roselia, a small Boutique, which specializes in selling hats. Already exploring the city, a bit more, he finally discovered the gym on the east side of town by the Pokémon Trainer School in the where he spotted young trainers outside learning all the intricacies of Pokémon Battling.
Naruto opened the entrance to the gym spotting a female receptionist at the front. The blond informed her he was here for a gym battle. The receptionist bowed before scurrying off to inform the gym leader know he was here for a battle. While the blond waited he went to look around the lounge area. It was decorated with various photographs the blond assumed to be taken by the gym leader.
On the way west towards the Santalune City Gym, as he let Hikari out and allowed her to turn herself invisible as she sat on his shoulder, although he would feel her shift once in a while for some reason, he didn't mind the extra weight.
The gaze landed on a stunning snapshot of a Vaporeon and Lumineon swimming in slow circles directly in the moon's reflection in a shallow pond.
"These are some amazing photos huh Hikari?" the petite fire type took that as a cue to show herself, which she nodded in agreement, she beamed captivated at all the photographs on display. A small flash of a camera went off from across the room. The duo was surprised by the unexpected flash it caught them both off guard for a second.
"I sorry I didn't mean to take your picture without asking. I couldn't resist seeing the two of you sharing a private moment together. I love for these kinds of pictures" a slim blond said walking to the two with her camera. A slim young girl with blonde hair cut in a chin length bob which curls under, with green eyes wearing a white vest, greyish cropped pants and, brown ankle boots with laces grinned at the pair.
"It's not every day you see a Victini up close and personal" the girl joked fixing the lenses of her expensive camera. Hikari was about to cry knowing she was caught on camera she vanished once again in tears.
"Hikari doesn't like people taking pictures of her, can you please delete that"
"I'm sorry I didn't know" the blond girl was scrolling through her camera about to delete the photo she took but stopped when the fire type reappeared behind the unknown girl observing the photo she just took, Hikari was entranced by how good it turned out.
'Me and Papa' Hikari thought to herself smiling at the photograph.
"Do you like it?" the blond-haired girl asked beaming up at the mythical Pokémon. Hikari nodded with a blush.
"How about this I gave a copy of this picture if I promise I not to show this to anyone Hikari. Is it alright if I keep this picture just for myself when I need some motivation in the near future pretty please! Something this special is a shot of a lifetime!" Viola asked pledging with a bow to the mythical Pokémon hovering behind her. Hikari thought for a moment before nodding in agreement indeed wanting the image of her Papa and her for herself to keep. The blond girl fist pumped in enthusiasm.
"Oh, by the way my name is Viola, the Santalune City Gym Leader and a user of Bug-type Pokémon as well as a professional photographer, it is nice to meet you both" she reached out shaking the hand of her fellow blond.
"Hello Viola, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and you just met Hikari. I was hoping to challenge you to a gym battle!" he exclaimed in excitement.
"Very, well. I accept your challenge Naruto, follow me this way to the battlefield" she said as he followed the female Gym Leader as Hikari glided over to perch herself back on Naruto's shoulder. Viola slid the doors opened to reveal a conventional battlefield, but the outer exterior looks like a greenhouse.
"I like your gyms design" the teen said in admiration.
"Thanks, this place was as well created as a statuary for Bug-type Pokémon to live if incapacitated and it's also perfect for live shots on my free time!" she smirked while adjusting her camera around her neck.
"How are we going to do this?" he exclaimed turning away from the female photographer before walking over to the opposite side of the battlefield. Spotting the receptionist going toward the middle as the judge.
Viola walked over to the other end of the room while the gym assistant stepped toward the middle to be the battle official "Alright! This is a two-on-two battle, between Gym Leader, Viola and Naruto Uzumaki! The winner shall be declared when one side is unable to continue, and only the challenger may substitute their Pokémon. Are the conditions understood?" Both blonds nodded, "Very well then, let's begin! Trainers, please send out your first Pokémon!" the gym assistant called out to the two trainers.
Viola and let out her first Pokémon, a Surskit. A blue insectoid Pokémon. There are semicircular pink markings under its dark, circular eyes. It has a round body with four long, skinny legs extending from it. On top of its head is a yellow cap with a single antenna.
"Surskit huh?" the Uzumaki held up his Pokédex for more information
Surskit: Pond Skater Pokémon: When this Pokémon senses danger, a sweet fluid oozes from the tip of its head. The taste of it disgusts bird Pokémon. If it's in a pinch, it will secrete a sweet liquid from the tip of its head.

This Surskit is Female and Registered to Viola
"Alright let's go Thor!" the small electric type came out rotating his arms charging up for battle.
"Match begin!" the ref shouted signaling the battle.
"Surskit use Ice beam on the entire field!" the little water bug covers the field in a solid sheet of ice. Elekid almost slipped before catching himself.
"Surskit use Water Pulse while Elekids guards down" the Pond Skater Pokémon gracefully skated across the field gracefully making its way over to Thor. Surskit lifted up its two front legs before firing the ball of water at its opponent. Thor crossed its forearms blocking the orb of water, but the attack still connected, slammed roughly against the electric type making it slide back a bit.
"Jump and use Mud Shot!" the Pond Skater Pokémon shot up the air firing a massive ball of mud at Thor head-on.
"Thor use Cross Chop into the battlefield to use the ice as a barrier" Thor crosses its arms to form an "X" ramming the icy ground with its crossed arms and pushing them back with its hands. Pushing the frost up like a buffer using the fence of ice as a shield from her attacks.
" Use Thunder Wave now!" The Elekid did as he was told releases a stream of electricity at the opponent from its body, trying to paralyzing the tiny water/bug type.
"Dodge it quick Surskit!" Viola commanded desperately hoping her Pokémon can dodge the small blast of electricity, Surskit hastily dodges the bolts of yellow electricity, just barely getting away. The bug specialist inwardly gritted her teeth at that; she hadn't expected the boy to pull such a tactic. She didn't want to risk-what he knew would be-guaranteed paralysis.
"Now Thor quickly use a two Thunder Punch combo, followed by Signal Beam and a Dynamic Punch jab from above!" Naruto instructed. The heavily detailed command caught Viola by surprise; almost doubting what she'd heard the blond call out and not sure if the small electric Pokémon could even do what was demanded.
Thor did as he was told, flipping back slightly as both of his fists surrounded itself by yellow electricity making the ice around him start to melt before concentrating in aiming the multi-colored beam from its antennas, canceling out the ground type attack having them collide with an explosion, making everyone cover themselves from the aftershock. As the smoke cleared away, revealing Surskit a struggling to stand however it was quickly punched by Thor as he appeared above to make the finishing blow.
"Surskit is unable to battle, Elekid is the winner!" The referee called out.
Viola scowled as her Pokémon had unquestionably fainted when Elekid smashed its fists into the now thawed battlefield from the barrage of attacks. At that moment, she thanked it for battling hard before recalling back her downed Pokémon. The bug type specialist watched as Naruto praised Thor, before getting ready to call out her next Pokémon, she called out to the Uzumaki, "You really good aren't you, is this really your first gym battle?" the bug gym leader questioned.
"It is why do you ask?" Naruto asked confused as he recalled Thor back to his side.
Viola gave a small smirk, to her fellow blond "because you battle like a veteran trainer, the way you are in total sync with your Pokémon, it's truly astounding." Naruto scratched the back of his head bashfully thanking her for her kind words before the referee started the match once again.
"Go Vivillon!" a butterfly-like Pokémon came out adorned with pinkish colorful decorative patterns on its wings. It has a round, grayish body with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antennas.
Vivillon: Scale Pokémon: Vivillon with many different patterns are found all over the world. These patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat. The patterns on this Pokémon's wings depend on the climate and topography of its habitat. It scatters colorful scales.

The blond showed a calm exterior as he put away his Pokédex. The blond went over the high chance of speed-based attacks, and waved for Thor to come back to him, "Come on back, Thor let's give Ame a turn okay."
The Elekid pouted but then saluted the blond as a soldier nodded before standing by his side to watch while his trainer called out his alternate Pokémon.
The Bubble Frog appeared with a hop to its name as it prepared for battle. Viola contained a frown, confused by the Uzumaki's choice of Pokémon even though Elekid had the type advantage but did not think too much about too. Nevertheless, she'd still win while in the air and Vivillon's speed. "Vivillon, begin with Sunny Day and follow with Acrobatics."
The pink winged butterfly cries towards the sky, causing the sun to shine brighter. Then instantly flew out of sight, striking the frog into the ground as Naruto retaliated, "Ame, Quick Attack!"
Ame strikes bug type easily hitting its mark, but wasn't enough damage, " Use Water Pulse" Froakie creates a blue sphere of energy from in between its hands. It then fires the sphere at the butterfly.
"Dodge it then finish it off with Solar Beam!" Vivillon momentarily glows a faint yellow. Numerous yellow balls appear and float around Vivillon as a larger ball forms between its antennae and it fires a beam of energy at Ame. The powerful grass attack collided into the ground creating an immense blast, covered their eyes until nothing was clouding their vision from the impact. As the smoke cleared away, revealing an empty battlefield with Froakie missing.
'Where did he go?' the bug specialist and Scale Pokémon looked from one place to another for the Bubble Frog, not noticing the smirk on Naruto's face.
"Ame Follow up with an Icy Water Pulse!" The blond quickly called before Viola could strike back. "Froooakieee." The water type called as it had done what it had trained to do with that command as it jumped high in the air pass the dense smoke rising over the Scale Pokémon at high speeds launching chilling covered Water Pulses in all directions.
"Evade with Aerial Ace!" Viola exclaimed but even with the scaled butterfly following the command, it couldn't evade the continuous bombardment of ice.
Eventually, it was struck and sent crashing into the ground as more sheets of ice coated Water Pulses struck Vivillon as it whimpered its name in a dizzy faint.
"Vivillon is unable to battle, Froakie is the winner!" The referee called the battle. "This battle goes to Uzumaki Naruto!" The blond and his Pokémon cheered, "You did it, Ame! We won!" The tiny frog Pokémon croaked in agreement as he hopped over to perch himself onto the whiskered trainer's shoulder, not minding his injuries, Thor also applauded from there win.
The gym leader shut her eyes in defeat as she recalled her fallen Pokémon and giving Naruto a large smirk, "You are definitely not what I expected. You're really good." The blond beamed as he petted Ame and Thor before recalling them both, "Thanks, I really appreciate hearing that."
Viola grabbed her camera before reappearing once more before the Uzumaki, while the gym official walked over with a small tray hand. "You have shown your strength in defeating me. May you remember this battle with pride and humility." The bug type gym leader wisely spoke as she presented Naruto the Bug Badge. Naruto put the badge inside his orange badge case.
"Thank you, Viola that was, an amazing battle" Naruto said giving her a small bow. Victini was hovering over with a small wave.
"You bet, I hope we battle again soon" the gym leader exclaimed with a grin. Pulling out a photo from behind her back, offering it to Victini. Hikari took the photo in excitement showing her adopted father as he patted her head gently.
"A promise is a promise. I had one of my reliable assistants get it developed away from prying eyes, so you don't have to worry about someone seeing it" she smiled as she walked the pair out. Hikari turned invisible once more when arriving outside.
"Where are you heading next. Heading toward the next gym badge?" she asked as Naruto nodded. "Cyllage City is to the north of Route 10. You can get there by going through the Connecting Caves" she informed the blonde. Before returning back into the gym as the blond walked away.
"We should spend the night at the Pokémon Center!" Naruto exclaimed hurriedly jogged along the way.
'That was an impressive battle you, two' Nova talking about both the electric type and the bubble frog. He felt them both shift inside there Pokéballs from the praise.
'Yeah but next time let us battle too' Mars said
'For once we agree on something' Nova agreed with his fellow legendary.
'You know I can't do that, you guys will probably destroy the entire Gym'the blond chuckled lightheartedly.
'This is just the beginning, one down seven more to go. Until my dream can be realized'The blond opened his badge case once more eyeing his first ever Gym Badge beaming proudly. He closed the case while shifting Hikari on his shoulder to a more comfortable spot, already dashing toward the Pokémon center to give his teammates the rest they rightfully deserved.

OMG this was the longest Chapter I have ever written for any of my stories. It took me a while to complete, but I pulled through somehow. Th full extent to Naruto's abilities will be explained in a later chapter I promise I just wanted his first gym battle knocked out of the way before I began explaining that part. If you have any questions for me, please send me a private message or type it a review that's cool too. Until next time.
