A.N. Two more Pokèmon have been added to Naruto's roster in Bagon and Swinub.

Thank you God of Wind 200 and Kirito the Black Swordsman for commenting, I really appreciate it.

All Pokèmon on Naruto's team will have special abilities and moves when fully evolved, mostly move wise. The moves for all four chosen have been decided because of how I thought they would interact.

Please comment on any Pokèmon you wish to see on Naruto's team, but please to type overlap.

Anyways, Onto the Story.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE COST US, HIRUZEN SARUTOBI?!"

The figurehead tilted his head, making a show of thinking about it. "I believe I cost you all a collective 300 pokèdollars, maybe more."

One of the civilian council members made a show of slamming her fists down on the table she sat at. "You have let that demon free to roam the world! Millions of lives are at stake here! We must get him back at all costs! NOW TELL US WHERE THE DEMON IS!" She screeched.

The Hokage simply blinked at the outburst, as one of his old teammates in Danzo Shimura stood up. "Let's not be hasty, councilor Haruno. Our esteemed Hokage appears to be uncomprehending to our plight. Maybe we should use more layman terms, to make him see what we wish."

Hiruzen sighed and rolled his eyes. They weren't going to find Naruto, he had made sure of that. He took every precaution. When he said there were risks in taking Naruto out of the Elemental Nations as they had started calling themselves, it wasn't some slap on the wrist sort of deal.

They had gone straight through Iwa to get to Kalos. Though that isn't a risk unto itself, the implications of Naruto not returning could result in the Clans wanting blood.

Now, a blonde Konoha Shinobi, especially the sun-kissed blonde on Naruto, was a kill on sight for Iwa veterans. They simply hated their Fourth Hokage too much to resist that urge.

This would be likely to placate the civilian council if his plans of rumors works. He would be back in the good graces of the people.

But that left the Shinobi Council, the far more dangerous opponents. The Clans were likely to throw tantrums over losing such a valuable weapon, and he was sure to get an earful from Danzo. Oh, but he'll! It will all be worth it if Naruto gets out scott-free from this hellhole of a village.

'If it wasn't for the fact I'm this stupid place's figurehead with a few more plans to enact,' Hiruzen thought, ' I would be with him right now. I wonder how the Professor is treating him?'

Professor Sycamore raised an eyebrow at the complete lack of food in his kitchen. 'I could have sworn there was food here yesterday…'

Closing the pantry, he opened the fridge to find most things missing, like the delicious pork roast and polenta. Narrowing his eyes, he stood up and noticed a particular pair of eyes watching him.

Naruto's Fennekin, Kurama if he remembered, narrowed his visible eye while watching him from the left side of the hallway. "You took all that food to Naruto, huh?"

With a snort of what Sycamore thought was pride, the Fennekin nodded at him, making him sigh. "Well, as long as he ate the food…"

The Professor grabbed his head in frustration. "Ah, dammit, I have to go out to the store? Why did it have to be today, couldn't you have waited for tomorrow?" Professor Sycamore asked the fox.

The Fox snorted again and walked away in a snooty fashion, making a vein pulse on the Professor's head. He then sighed. "Well, no use complaining. Maybe I should bring Naruto with me to get more acquainted…"

Walking toward down the empty hall, he went to the only open door to see on the bed, a sleeping Naruto with his Popplio hugging his leg, with the food containers neatly stacked next to the bed, all empty. He was halfway off the bed, leg and arm dangling. His snores were loud and rattling, which was starting to get on his nerves.

The Fennekin jumped onto the bed and nudged Popplio, waking it. Sycamore raises an eyebrow at how the pokèmon straight up ignored his existence. Oh well, he better wake Naruto.

When he approached the sleeping boy, the Fennekin started growling, the Popplio too tired to join in. Sycamore sighed and walked back to the entrance of the room.

Flicking the light switch on, he said, "Okay, Naruto, you ate all the food last night, so you need to help me buy food." There wasn't any use, I mean the kid probably heard that all his life, so he needed to use other consequences.

The boy groaned, opened his eyes, and rolled over. This fanned the flames of the Professor's growing frustration of yesterday, last night, and lack of food. "Oh no you don't!" Professor Sycamore announced.

Ripping the blanket off of the blonde, he threw the boy over his shoulders and began walking out of the room. He saw the Popplio stop the Fennekin from jumping him, shaking her head.

Naruto was unceremoniously dumped onto a chair at the dinner table, where he was quickly given a bowl of cereal. Sniffing it, he was surprised at the non-sour smell of it.

Sycamore made himself a bowl of cereal as well, thankful Naruto hadn't drank the milk. He began eating, standing while facing Naruto.

Taking a bite, his eyes grew wide before he began inhaling it. "Hey, Nike Tour, can I get more of that stuff?" Naruto yelled out.

The Professor blinked at the name calling, but shook his head, more interested at the sudden change of demeanor. "What, don't you know what cereal is?"

The boy tilted his head at the word, making Sycamore run his hand through his hair in frustration and anger. "What the hell is wrong with that region?" He grit out.

"Hey, when is Jiji going to come back?" Naruto asked.

"You mean the Hokage?"

"Yeah! Jiji! He's the most powerful person in our village, no one can defeat him!"

He sighed, not really knowing what to tell Naruto. He knew the boy was smart. No boy couldn't survive what he had without being smart.

"Well, Naruto, I can give you two options. I can either tell you a lie, or I can tell you the truth." Sycamore said nonchalantly.

"You're a smart young man, I'll give you that, but I don't know if you can handle the reason why your Hokage came out here and left you with me."

"I want the truth, ya know! I'm not a kid! I know what shinobi do and are capable of! I know what Jiji's done in the past!"

Sycamore sighed, putting his bowl down, and leaning back on the countertop. It was better to go with half-truths and tell him the rest later. "I have decided to adopt you."

"NANI?! I thought adoptions took time and stuff!"

Sycamore laughed it off. "Well, they usually do, but your Jiji wanted you to be with a family as soon as possible." Now comes the hard part. "Your Jiji and I have been communicating about adopting someone from your village for a bit of time now." Now the sinker. "He just wants you to be happy."

Naruto didn't respond for a few seconds, slightly scaring the Professor. "Hey, Naruto, everything oka-uf?!"

A child-sized bullet rammed into his stomach, pushing out his breath. Momentarily stunned, he was snapped out of it by the sound of crying.

Looking down, he saw Naruto looking up at him, the biggest grin Sycamore had ever seen on Naruto's face.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Sycamore could only smile as he only heard a bunch of jiberish as Naruto hugged him tighter.

"Okay, okay, calm down. We need to go shopping for more food. You ate all I had last night," Sycamore responded, interrupting Naruto.

"Oh, yeah, sure! I'll go shopping! Do I need a lab coat like you? I can bring Kurama and Jolyne to help us! Should I change-"

"Hey, hey, slow down, Naru. We're getting food, clothes, and stuff for your pokèmon." Then a thought enter his mind. "Actually, do you have pokèballs for your pokèmon, and where are they-"

He got the answer to the second question when they were caught in a minimature rainstorm. Looking up, he saw both Fennekin and Popplio laugh at there expense. 'Oh God, they're just like their trainer,' The Professor thought.

Hiruzen sat at his desk for possibly and hopefully the last time. Next to him sat a bipedal, primate-like Pokémon that is primarily reddish-brown with sections of white fur on its chest, head, and lower legs. Several gold markings adorn its body: swirled, circular ones on its knees and shoulders flame-shaped ones on the back of its hands, and a stripe around its back that forms two swirls on its chest.

On top of its head is a large flame, which is never extinguished. Infernape has an orange, rounded muzzle, long, round ears with blue inside, and a red ridge over its eyes. The eyes themselves are blue with yellow sclerae. There are five blue digits on both its feet and hands, and it has a long tail.

The Infernape looked at his trainer in sympathy. The village of Konoha had darkened significantly in Naruto's absence. Storm clouds gathered, and malice filled the air.

Pulling out his cigar pipe, the Hokage compressed some tobacco into the pipe, with the Infernape liting a finger.

Just before he began to smoke, a frog-like hand smacked the pipe out of the old man's hand, making the old man chuckled. "Thought this would get your attention."

Standing just inside the office near the window, a figure glares at the old man, furious with what he had done.

"Where is he?" He growled.
