Chapter 22: Too Much to Beartic!

Ever since Meowth of Team Rocket joined Ash and the others on their journey to Nimbasa city for Ash's next gym battle, interesting things had been happening along the way for them.

Along the way, they encountered a Purrloin being pursued by a flock of Tranquill and quickly came to its aid with Oshawott butting in as always. Purrloin pleaded with them to help save a friend who was trapped in an abandoned mine tunnel ahead, Meowth and Oshawott being smitten with the feline Pokémon agreed wholeheartedly with Ash and Iris. However Cilan refused to believe Purrloin as he had a horrible past experience with a Purrloin and Naruto sensed that it was lying to them but chose not to point, not wanting to alert Meowth of his ability so he followed but with precaution while Cilan stayed behind.

Upon entering the tunnel and being led by Purrloin, the group ended up falling into a trap where Purrloin revealed that it was all a trick to steal their food for itself, however Naruto had evaded the trap with a shadow clone and was about to confront Purrloin when Cilan appeared with a girl by the name Misha who's Purrloin's trainer. Purrloin got angry upon seeing the girl with Meowth translating that Misha abandoned it, but the young lady revealed that while Purrloin was at home, she got into an accident and was admitted to the hospital then returned a few days later only to find Purrloin gone and had been looking for it since then. Purrloin accepted the explanation, but things started to go wrong when the ground which Ash and the others were standing on began to act like quicksand and they were sinking into it. Naruto immediately swung into action by creating shadow clones and having them use the substitution technique to switch places with each of them before they submerged.

Afterwards, everybody was safe and sound with Misha thanking them for everything. That was when Meowth and Oshawott tried to ask Purrloin out on a date only to be told something…Purrloin was actually a guy. Both Pokémon were dumbfounded and disappointed while Kurama was laughing his head off and Naruto sympathized with them, having experienced the same thing with Haku who was just too feminine to be a boy.

Their next adventure was when they made camp, Meowth was to collect only to return with an unusual Pokémon known as Beheeyem who offered to make their dreams come true, something which Naruto and Kurama were rather skeptical about. Cilan wished for a good night's sleep in a five star hotel…and Beheeyem lead the gang right to one. The gang went to sleep only to be awoken by an Officer Jenny, she introduced herself to be from the Psychic Crimes Division and was in pursuit of a man called Leon the Dream Thief who traps unsuspecting trainers in dreams before making off with their Pokémon. Officer Jenny called on her Duosion with its psychic powers to break out of the dream only to find themselves on another one as Pikachu, Axew and Meowth were still asleep. They were able to get the first two to wake up but Meowth keep on dozing off which continuously traps them in layers of dreams until Cilan used some super spicy Figy berries to keep him awaken.

Finally escaping from the dream, Leon attempted to put them back to sleep with Beheeyem's Hypnosis but Naruto put a stop to that with a Rasengan for the knockout while a sleep-deprived Meowth took his frustration out on Leon with Fury Swipes to the point of shredding his clothes. Officer Jenny thanked them for the capture before leaving with said criminal.


At the moment, the gang are currently traveling down the road along a winding mountain trail on a fine afternoon.

"This is excellent! Once we get past this mountain, we'll be in Nimbasa city," said Cilan after looking at his electronic map.

"Awesome, I can't wait to see what kind of gym and gym leader they have. How you about you guys?" asked Ash.

"I'm all amped up!" said Pikachu with gusto.

"Yeah, we're gonna show them just what we can do!" Naruto smirked in anticipation.

"But I can't believe is how messy this path is," Like Iris said, the group could see several tree knocked over or torn from the roots and how uneven the ground is.

"Probably from the storm a couple of days ago," said Meowth and he was right as a heavy rainstorm did occur some time ago.

Naruto's ears perked up as he heard groaning and turned to see a small Pokémon a little bit ahead of him. It resembles a baby polar bear with the top half cover in light-blue fur while the lower half is white. Its muzzle is a deeper shade of blue, and it has a large round black nose with a thick droplet of partially frozen mucus dripping down like an icicle. Naruto saw that it was injured and barely conscious as he ran towards it to check if it was okay.

"Hey guys, we have an injured Pokémon in need of help here!" Naruto called out to them, Ash and the others quickly made their way over to him.

"Who's that Pokémon?" asked Ash.

"I'm sure that's a Cubchoo," said Cilan.

"A Cubchoo?" Ash took out his Pokédex to scan.

[Cubchoo, the Chill Pokémon. Cubchoo evolves into Beartic. Its constantly runny nose is the source of its energy and its sniffles power its moves.]

"That Cubchoo looks really weak," Iris looked at the Cubchoo worriedly, the Pokémon slowly opened its eyes and saw Naruto holding it in his tails but closed them as he was too weak to even speak.

"Cubchoo's exhausted alright, probably could use some chowing down," said Meowth.

"Then we need to find some berries, preferably an Oran berry or a Sitrus berry. Let's go and look for some," said Cilan.

While the group went to look for berries, Naruto stayed behind to watch over Cubchoo.

"Kurama, is there any way to help this Cubchoo even a little?" asked Naruto.

"You could use my chakra to restore its health a bit until they return with the berries," said Kurama. Naruto felt the fox's chakra flow through him, then he used one of his tails to touch Cubchoo as it flowed into it. Cubchoo felt something enter his body which made him feel a little better and woke up to see Naruto again.

"I see you're awake again," said Naruto.

"W-who are you?" asked Cubchoo feeling a bit scared.

"I'm Tokala which is my species name but you can call me Naruto, my friends and I found you hurt and came to help,"

"Oh thank you,"

"It's alright, but what are you doing out here?" asked Naruto.

Cubchoo was about to talk when they heard Meowth call out all of a sudden.

"Hey guys, I found an Oran berry! Just what the energy doctor ordered!" said Meowth.

"That's great Meowth, let's give it to Cubchoo," said Ash.

Suddenly, something burst out from a nearby bush and let out a loud roar. It turns out to be a Beartic which was soon joined by two more.

"Yikes, it's a group of Beartic!" Meowth, Pikachu and Axew scrambled back to the others while the Beartic loomed over them looking rather angry for reasons unknown.

"There's nothing worse than a bunch of ice types like Beartic, I'm freezing!" Iris and Axew shivered at the sight of said Pokémon.

"I get the feeling that they're buddy with that Cubchoo!" said Meowth, clinging to Cilan.

"Is that true Cubchoo? Are they your friends?" asked Naruto.

"N-no they aren't, these Beartic aren't part of my group," said Cubchoo as he clung to Naruto in fear.

"Bad news guys, Cubchoo doesn't know these Beartic," Naruto tensed in case the Beartic would attack them.

"This is really bad, I don't get why they're so angry if they don't know this Cubchoo," said Iris.

"Why don't you guys calm down a bit okay?" said Ash placatingly.

"This calls for a negotiator, and Meowth's the Pokémon for just that!" said Meowth.

"I don't think they're ready to listen Meowth," said Pikachu wearily looking at the Beartic.

"Of course they are, we just need to open the floor for discussion," Meowth waved him off before approaching the Beartic "I'm not sure why you're all so angry but I'm sure we can talk it out. There's no need for you to be so mad right?"

However the Beartic opened their mouths to launch a gust of extremely cold wind at Meowth, encasing him in ice.

"Those Beartic just used Icy Wind!" said Cilan.

Meowth broke out of the ice and frowned at the Beartic "Hey, I'm not the one who needs cooling off!"

The Beartic were about to attack again when a tornado when a mini tornado of maroon and yellow flew in and knocked back each of the Beartic before it stopped spinning to reveal a Pokémon. It is a bipedal ferret-like Pokémon with yellow and maroon fur that piles around its arms and legs like a monks robe. There are grey oval markings above its eyes, its legs are red with the yellow tail having a red tip, and it has one small whisker on either side of its face and small round ears. The Pokémon took a stance which told Naruto that it's a fighting type.

"It's a Mienfoo!" said Cilan.

"A Mienfoo?" ash took out his Pokédex to scan.

[Mienfoo, the Martial Arts Pokémon. Mienfoo's sharp claws strike quickly and precisely. It also overwhelms opponents with its skillful combination attacks]

Then a brown haired wearing a ranger's green uniform appeared before speaking to Ash and the gang.

"You better get away from here and follow me!" said the man.

"Right!" Ash nodded in affirmation before leaving with the rest of the group.


Later on they were led to a cottage which happened to be located right next to the mountain. The man treated them to a cup of tea while Cubchoo was offered a bowl of milk while sitting next to Naruto.

"The name's Cliff, I'm with the mountain patrol," said the man.

"My name is Ash and these are my partners Pikachu and Tokala.

"Hi there!" said Pikachu.

"Yo," Naruto waved a tail in greeting.

"I'm Iris, nice to meet you," said Iris.

"Hello!" Axew waved a paw in greeting.

"And I'm Cilan, thanks for getting us out of there," Cilan introduced himself.

"We had a close shave back there, so thanks for the help," said Meowth.

"You're welcome, though I've never seen talking Pokémon like you two before," said Cliff.

Naruto was currently checking up on Cubchoo, he doesn't know why but he felt like he should care for the young Pokémon like he did with Axew and Scraggy "Are you feeling ok now?"

"Yes I am, thank you," Cubchoo beamed at Naruto.

"So Cubchoo, what happened that you ended up like that?" asked Ash curiously.

"Well it all started some time ago…," with help from Meowth and Naruto to translate, Cubchoo told them that he was part of a Beartic group which live in the summit of the mountain, but then the storm happened and during their escape from a wildfire, he ended up being separated from them and everything was a blur after that "…and that's when I woke up and met you,"

"Wow, that's rough," said Ash.

"This Cubchoo and those Beartic from earlier belong to different groups," Cliff walked towards large map hanging on the wall and pointed at it "Here's the map, there are two Beartic groups living on this mountain. One lives near the summit, and the other lives here near the foot of the mountain,"

"So the ones we saw live near the foot of the mountain?" asked Cilan.

"But if so, why were they so hostile?" asked Naruto.

"That's the strange thing, I've never anything of both groups not being able to get along until I saw what happened," said Cliff.

"It's true, we never had any problems with the other group," said Cubchoo.

"There's must have been some reason why those Beartic are so angry," Cilan seemed to be in thought.

"Yeah, as far as we can tell, Pokémon never get really upset without something provoking them," said Iris.

"Well what's important is that we get Cubchoo back to his friends," said Ash.

Naruto nodded in agreement "You're right Ash, his friends must be worried about him,"

"You'll help me? Thank you so much!" Cubchoo jumped up and hugged him happily.

"Now that's one happy Pokémon," said Meowth.

"By the way, are any of you this Meowth's trainer?" asked Cliff.

"Uh no, Meowth doesn't belong to any of us," said Cilan.

"That's great, I can tell you how helpful it would be to have a Meowth that could talk. So I hope you don't mind me catching it," Cliff took out a Pokéball and threw at Meowth with him getting sucked into it, but the capsule popped open and Meowth glared at Cliff.

"This is the second time someone's tried to bag me! Listen pal, I'm an independent Pokémon you dig? I'm getting caught for no one?" said Meowth.

Cliff was taken by surprise and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly "I dig alright, sorry about that,"

Afterwards we find the group standing on a high ledge which overlooks the forest below with Cliff examining the map on hand.

"According to the map, the Beartic group from the foot of the mountain claim that area as their territory. So taking another route should lead us to Cubchoo's group without running into the other group," said Cliff.

With that said, the group began their trek through the forest, during the time Cubchoo was riding on Naruto's back and asking him many questions with the pokeninja answering them.

"So where were you going before you found me?" asked Cubchoo.

"My friends and I were on our way to Nimbasa city to challenge the gym leader and earn a badge, so far we have three with only five more to go," said Naruto.

"Really? Why?"

Pikachu then spoke up "Because there's tournament held once a year in every region including Unova where strong trainers and their Pokémon gather to who is the strongest and earn the title champion, but in order to take part, we need to collect at least eight gym badges from different cities after beating the gym leaders to get them,"

Cubchoo was awed by this "Wow, does this mean you and your trainer had been to other regions and took part in those competitions?"

"That's right, and this will be our fifth league so far and this time we're gonna win!"

Naruto smirked "With me on board, that's a promise!"

"I wonder what they're talking about?" asked Iris, since the only one truly speaking is Naruto.

"Whatever it is, Cubchoo seems to be quite interested," said Cilan.

"Bet they're telling Cubchoo about the Unova league since I heard him say something about badges," said Ash.

Suddenly Cliff stopped them from advancing any further and had them hide in the bushes, they peeked through to see a pair of Beartic examining the trees as if in search of something.

"There are Beartic here too?" Iris whispered fearfully.

"They aren't my friends," said Cubchoo clinging to Naruto a bit tightly.

"That means these are from the other group," said Naruto.

"If so, what are they doing here?" said Cliff.

"Naruto, there's a Beartic coming from behind you!" Kurama called out in alert.

But no sooner he said that did the Beartic in question roared out which attracted the other two for them to surround Naruto and the others.

"We're surrounded by three of them!" said Iris.

The Beartic got ready to use Icy Wind, Ash quickly took out a Pokéball and threw it "Tepig come out and use Ember! Tokala, use Crush Claw!" Tepig appeared and immediately launched sparkles of flames at the frosty gust to cancel them out as Naruto had already passed Cubchoo over to Cilan before rushing forward with his claws glowing white and slashed, knocking them back "Great job, guys!" then one of Ash's Pokéballs opened up to reveal Oshawott standing with them.

"I'll take care of them!" said Oshawott.

"Not you, Tepig and Naruto already have it under control," said Meowth, meanwhile Mienfoo took down the third Beartic to clear a path for them.

"Alright, leave the area immediately!" said Cliff.

"I'm outta here!" Iris took off with Ash and the others right behind her "I've had too much Beartic already!"

"Iris slow down!" Ash called out but she kept on running.

"I'm so sick of this forest!" but then they ran into another trio of Beartic and were flanked by the previous group "We're done for!"

"You guys keep forgetting something, I'm the negotiator so I can handle this!" said Meowth.

"Meowth this isn't the time for this!" said Naruto.

At that moment, the Beartic launched Icy Wind at Meowth who dodged it in time "Get hit once, shame on you. Get twice, shame on me," but when he landed, he frozen by the other group and was knocked into the air.

"And what of getting hit thrice, who's to be ashamed then?" thought Naruto.

"Hurry and move out of the way!" said Cliff as they ran from the Beartic.

Bet then, Iris and Cilan ended up tripping before a sloping rocky hill with Cubchoo and Axew falling out of their grips. Pikachu and Tepig ran after the Pokémon in order to catch them but an airborne Meowth crashed in Oshawott with both rolling right into the other Pokémon and they all fell towards the forest below.

"Axew/Cubchoo!" Iris and Cilan called out respectively.

"Oshawott, Tepig, Meowth!" Ash was just as worried.

"I'm going after them!" Naruto slid down the hill to go after them.


Meanwhile at the foot of the mountain, the Pokémon were waking up from the fall with Pikachu and Tepig checking up on Axew and Cubchoo. Meowth sat up while rubbing the back of his head in pain.

"Yikes, I hate rollercoasters," Meowth muttered to himself.

Oshawott walked up to him with a frown "This is all your fault!"

"What do you mean my fault!? None of this would have happened if you didn't poke your head out of your Pokéball!" Meowth glared back, then Pikachu and Tepig stepped in to break up the potential fight.

"You guys stop this! There's no time for arguing!" said Pikachu.

"Yeah, you're right. I bet that the twerps are probably worried sick," said Meowth, they tried to call out for Ash and the others but there was no response except the echo of their voices.

Cubchoo became depressed "What do we do now?"

"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that Naruto is on his way here before the others show up," said Pikachu.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, Naruto is good at finding people,"

"Okay, but we're hungry," said Axew.

"Me too," Cubchoo was in the same boat.

"In that case, Pikachu, Oshawott and I will go and forage for food while Tepig stays here until we get back," said Meowth.

With that, the trio wandered into the forest and it was at that moment that Cubchoo, Axew and Tepig heard something land close to them and turned to see Naruto walking up to them looking relieved.

"Naruto, you're here!" Cubchoo and Axew cheered up at seeing him.

Naruto smiled in return "Well I saw you fall down the hill so of course I would be worried and come looking for you…where are Pikachu, Meowth and Oshawott?"

"They went to look for food and will be back soon," said Tepig.

"In that case, we'll wait for them before making our way back to Ash and the gang,"

Elsewhere, Ash, Iris, Cilan and Cliff were currently making their way down the mountain in hopes of finding their Pokémon and resume their mission of reuniting Cubchoo with his group.

"I hope that they're okay, it would be awful if they ran into any Beartic," Iris looked rather worried.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they're fine and Naruto is with them by now," said Ash.

"Hang on, the Beartic group that lives at the foot of the mountain forages for food in this area," said Cliff pointing at the partially broken trees ahead of them.

"So this is as far as we can go?" asked Iris.

"But it's not like we can turn around after coming this far," said Cilan.

"Mienfoo, scope out the area," Mienfoo yipped to Cliff's command and scampered ahead, it looked around for a bit before returned and called out to them "What's the matter? They followed Mienfoo and were surprised to see that a large number of berries have been seriously damaged beyond consumption.

"All of the berries have been ruined!" said Cilan.

"It must have been from the storm that came through," said Cliff.

"Hey guys," the group turned to see Naruto landing next to them.

"Tokala, did you find Pikachu and the other Pokémon?" asked Ash.

"Yeah, and the boss sent me to lead you to them," said the now revealed shadow clone.

"That's great, but what worries me is that with the severe lack of berries here the group from the foot of the mountain must be starving," said Cliff.

"Then they must have wandered from home to gather as many berries as they can," said Iris.

"But when they saw us with Cubchoo, they must have thought that the Beartic group from the summit wanted to steal their berries which was why they attacked us," said Cilan.

"We've got to help them understand or there'll be big trouble," said Ash.

"But first we need to reunite with the others before anything else," said the clone.

Suddenly a rock dropped from above and looked up to see a group of Beartic and Cubchoo staring down at them much to their surprise and wariness.

Back with the Pokémon group, Meowth, Pikachu and Oshawott had returned with some berries and were currently eating them except for Pikachu and Tepig who refused to eat looking rather uncomfortable.

"What's the matter with you two? Aren't you hungry? There's enough to go around ya know?" said Meowth while munching on a Sitrus berry.

"I still don't agree with what you did Meowth, those must have belonged to somebody," said Pikachu.

"Like I said 'finders keepers, losers weepers',"

"What are you guys talking about? Surely you picked the berries from the trees right?" asked Naruto curiously.

"Not really, the thing is that-" Pikachu was about to explain when the bushes parted and a group of Beartic and Cubchoo looking very angry.

"I think we're in trouble again," thought Naruto.

"And what gave you that idea, the growling?" asked Kurama sarcastically but was ignored.

"Why did you steal our berries?!" demanded one of the Beartic.

"What do you mean by that, our friends were hungry so we went to pick some food for them," said Meowth.

"Someone came and took the berries which we foraged, and we know that it's you who took them!"

Naruto spoke up with Cubchoo hiding behind him "Please calm down, it must have been a coincidence. Surely we didn't steal anything right?" Naruto looked behind and noticed that Meowth was sweating "What's the matter?"

"Well the thing is…we kinda picked up a bunch of berries during our search," said Meowth sweating a lot now.

"…"

"…"

"…so technically we did steal their berries," a tick mark appeared on Naruto's head. At that moment, the Beartic used Icy Wind but Naruto quickly grabbed Axew and Cubchoo with his tails before leaping out of the way only for Meowth to be frozen again "You deserved that you dumb cat,"

The Beartic were about to continue with their attack when a loud roar was heard, everyone looked up to see a Beartic group with Ash, Cilan, Iris, Cliff and Mienfoo standing next to them with the shadow clone disappearing.

"It's my friends!" Cubchoo cheered happily.

"Looks like we got here in here in time, I'm glad to see you're alright," said Ash.

"Well better late than never Ash," said Naruto.

However the first group growled at the second group, Cliff spoke up in an attempt to placate both sides in order to prevent a fight from breaking out between them.

"Hold on! The Beartic group from the summit didn't come here to take your food, they only came to save their Cubchoo friend!" said Cliff, but they refused to listen and attacked with Icy Wind "Mienfoo, use Quick Guard!" Mienfoo leapt into the air before the second Beartic group with its body outlined with a red aura then it put its palms forward to conjure a large red energy shield to defend against the incoming attack.

One Beartic from the first group stood up with its body outlined with a light blue aura as a spinning orb of bright blue energy formed in front of it open mouth with the same happening with another Beartic from the second group.

"What's that?!" asked Ash.

"It's called Sheer Cold!" Cilan hastily replied.

Both Beartic fired a powerful light blue beam with light blue snowflake-shaped sparkles from the orb at each other with the collision causing a large explosion to knock everyone back.

Naruto got up to check on the others "Are you guys okay?"

"I'm fine," said Cubchoo.

"Me too," said Axew.

They heard a rumbling sound and looked up to see four large boulders rolling down the mountainside straight towards them, Ash quickly rushed over and called out to them.

"Guys, get up quickly! Pikachu use Electro Ball, Tokala use Rasengan and Oshawott use Water Gun!" Ash spoke up.

Pikachu focused his electricity to form a sphere at his tail before launching, Naruto held out a paw for a blue spiraling orb to take shape and flung it at a boulder, and Oshawott opened his mouth to fire a strong stream of water. All three attacks shattered their targeted boulders but there was still one more and is heading straight for Axew and Cubchoo.

"Cubchoo! Axew!" Naruto rushed to stand before them ready to protect, then a Beartic from the first group covered to protect them and another from the second stood in front and braced for impact. Both groups were momentarily surprised but they all used Sheer Cold to freeze the boulder in place before it got any closer.

"Tokala, Axew, Cubchoo, are you okay?" asked Ash.

"We're fine, the Beartic made sure of that," Naruto responded.

Cliff walked up to them with a smile on his face "These mountain Pokémon avoided a lot of trouble by working together, that's bound to clear things up,"

"I hope so, I never I want to go through that brouhaha again. Taking a cold shower is much safer," said Meowth.

"Maybe so, but you're taking a colder shower especially after what you did," said Naruto with a frown, Meowth sweated a bit and turned away from the curious looks of the gang.

Later on the sun was setting and the gang were being seen off by Cliff, Mienfoo and both Beartic groups at the foot of the mountain.

"Better take care of yourself Cubchoo, okay? I'm really going to miss you," said Naruto.

"Me too," said Pikachu.

Cubchoo looked at the ground sadly, he didn't want them to leave. He had really come to like being with Naruto and the others, their stories truly excited him as if he was there with them. So he came to a decision…

"I want to come with you!" said Cubchoo.

Naruto was taken by surprise while Kurama smiled knowingly "Are you sure of this Cubchoo? Don't you want to be with your group?"

"At first I wanted to, but I really had a lot of fun with you and I want see things you get to see too,"

"But still," Naruto wasn't convinced, that's when one of the Beartic stepped forward and spoke.

"I could tell that you were protective of Cubchoo so we find it okay for him to be with you, as long as you're willing to protect him," said the Beartic.

With that, Naruto let out a sigh before nodding in affirmation then he turned to speak with Ash.

"Yo Ash, Cubchoo wants to come with us and the Beartic are willing to allow it," said Naruto.

Ash and the gang were surprised to hear this "Is it true Cubchoo? You want to come with us?" Cubchoo nodded happily in affirmation.

"Is this allowed, Cliff?" asked Cilan.

"Normally it isn't allowed but I can make an exception this time, I can tell that Cubchoo really wants to go with you guys," said Cliff, giving them the go ahead.

"Thanks a lot Cliff! Now go Pokéball!" Ash threw a Pokéball which hit Cubchoo before opening up sucking it inside in a form of red energy, then it closed and fell on the ground as it rocked a few times before letting out a loud beep to signify a successful capture but locked up due to the exceeded limit "Alright I caught a Cubchoo!,"

"You got one!" Pikachu cheered.

"Gee, it's real swell to have Cubchoo with us," said Meowth.

"Be sure to take good care of it," said Cliff.

"We will," Ash replied.

Soon the gang resumed their journey to Nimbasa city as Cliff and the Beartic group bade them farewell with goodwill.
