Chapter-5 :- Tower of Mastery and Mega Island
It's been three month Naruto begin his journey to find more about Mega Evolution but so far he didn't have any success on it at all.
Even though Naruto didn't get any success on his research on Mega Evoulation, He didn't give up on his research but try even harder to find any and all information he can aquaire on Mega Evoluation.
Also just because he is on a field research didn't mean he didn't train his Naruto take this time to train all of his Pokemon to mastered their already known move as well as teach them How to harness and control their Aura Effectively which make all of his Pokemon very strong.
He also continue his training on Shinobi art and Aura as well.
In this time his Frokie and Kirlia evolved into Frogadier and Gallade respectively and both are very strong. He also caught some other Pokemon as well. Those are being A Fletchender, few different colour Vivillon, a male and a female Pyroar, some Flabebe, 2 Pangoro, a Doublade , a Helioptile , a male and a female Meowstic and a shiny Haluwcha
Though Naruto caught Many Pokemon He only kept Flechinder, Helioptile, Doublade and Haluwcha with him and sent other Pokemon to Prof. Oak's Lab.
Now we see Naruto is with Sumi and Lucario and is roaming on the mountain side of the Kalos Region and searching for Gible a Dragon and Ground Dual type Pokemon as they can be found in the mountain region of Kalos. They are on this for 2 hour already but he didn't see any sign of Gible.
They continued their search for another hour but couldn't find a Gible so Naruto decided to give up the search and take some rest.
Naruto sat down and call out his other pokemon out as well. He then unsealed pre made food and he and his pokemon started have their lunch. After finishing lunch Naruto wash the utensial while Haluwcha and Lucario help him with it.
After that Naruto and Lucario started to meditate while his other Pokemon are playing together.
" Master I can sense two signature clashing with each other one is felt like cold probably an ice type another is somewhat similar to Sumi's Aura so My guess is a clash between Dragon type and Ice type should we check it out ?" asked Lucario to Naruto through their mental link.
" Yeah let's check it out if luck is on our side then the dragon type can be Gible." Said Naruto to Lucario as they both got up and left to check out.
After some walking He and Lucario came to the scene of the two pokemon fighting with each other to Narutos Disappointment none of them is Gible.
Even though none of them is the pokemon he want but still Naruto brought out his research Pokedex and scan them as robotic voice of the Pokedex heard.
"Goomy the slug Pokemon. It is said to be the weakest Dragon-type Pokémon, it lives in damp, shady places, so its body doesn't dry out. It's covered in a slimy membrane that makes any punches or kicks slide off it harmlessly."
" Bergmite the ice berg Pokemon. It uses cold air to repair any cracks with new ice. Using air of -150 degrees Fahrenheit, they freeze opponents solid. They live in herds above the snow line on mountains."
" Why in the name of 7 layers of hell a Goomy and Bergmite doing here?" said Naruto to himself As there isn't any damp area or water body near by for Goomy to appear neither it's snowy mountain to Bergmite to appear.
" Is they also abandoned by their trainer for being weak?" thought Naruto as he watches the battle.
Naruto then signalled Lucario to intervene their battle as they are taking it far and going to be seriously injured.
Lucario understood his Friend/Master intention so he intervene the battle which make both Ice and Dragon type Pokemon go on high aleart.
Seeing the situation Naruto move to them while having a warm and comforting Aura Around him which make both Pokemon calm down.
"Hello Bergmite, Goomy. What are you guys doing this part of the mountain as this is not the ideal place for both of you to live and why are you both battling each other this intensely?" asked Naruto.
Though in place of getting answer he get weired look from both pokemon as they didn't belive that he could understand them. Seeing their looks Naruto said " Don't worry I am an Aura Guardian so I can understand you clearly if you still had any dought you can ask Lucario here who is my Aura Partner.
This shocked both Pokemon that an Aura Guardian is infront of them. They turned to Lucario who nodded in affirmation.
They then started to explain how their trainer abandoned them and why they fight each other which conform Naruto's suspicion.
" So Goomy your trainer had a battle with another trainer who uses a Bergmite in that battle and you loose to that Bergmite. Your trainer then abandoned you here where you could die as it's not a ideal place for you to live because she thought you are a weakling who deserve to die like the waste of space you are." said Naruto with anger in his voice to which Goomy nodded as tears started to come down her face. Naruto then turned to Bergmite and said " Your trainer made you fight a wild Gible even though you are an Ice type you still loose to that Gible as it's clearly very strong so your trainer abandoned you after catching the Gible with the help of his other Pokemon for loosing to a pokemon who's against you have type advantage."
Naruto is pissed not only the pokemon he was searching was caught by another trainer but also the said trainer as well as another one abandoned their pokemon where they could die at any moment.
Lucario is also pissed as he also was adandoned by his previous trainer.
Naruto then thought for a moment as even though Goomy is considered to be the weakest Dragon type but it's final from Goodra is a Pseudo legendery as well as Bergmite evolved into Avalugg which is a very strong Ice type Pokemon.
He then turned to Lucario and has a slient conversation with him. After some time both Naruto and Lucario nodded to each other and turned to the abandoned pokemons.
" Will you both want to come with me and be my pokemon?" asked Naruto to both Pokemon who looked at him sceptically.
" Why would we belive you Aura Guardian? How can we know that you will not abandoned us also?" asked Bergmite to which Goomy nodded but before Naruto answer Lucario said to both Ice type and Dragon Type pokemon " Don't worry My friend and Master Naruto will not do such a thing as he also save me as my prevous trainer abandoned me and abused me but He saved me took me in and trained me."
" Well you heard Lucario so don't worry as I am a Pokemon researcher and Aura Guardian and if I do such thing I can't call myself an Aura Guardian Neither I can call my self a Pokemon researcher and I know how it feel to be abandoned as well." said Naruto to both of the Pokemon.
He then explain his life in Elemental Nation to them which shocked them very much.
After hearing Naruto's explaination they both agrees to join his team as they finally found a trainer with whom they can become strong.
After that Naruto catch both of them and both he and Lucario goes back to their campsite. As soon as they reach the campsite Sumi asks in concern Naruto where he and Lucario went and is everything alright.
Naruto then told Sumi that everything is all right and explain everything to her.
As Naruto speaking to Sumi he sence an Aura as someone is hiding in the bush.
Naruto turn to the bush and said " Come out I know you are there." As soon as he said that all of his pokemon goes on high aleart as sound of someone moving in the bush came.
After some time the person cameout in the clearing. As soon as Naruto saw this person he became shocked as it's none other than Drasna of the Kalos Elite Four and a Dragon type specialist.
" Hello Prof. Naruto it's nice to meet you." said Drasna to Naruto to which he became even more socked but he answers " Hello Drasna-san It's pleasure to meet one of the Kalos Elite Four." He then asked why she address him as Professor as even though he is doing his field research he is still training to be one and he is even not a full proved trainer yet.
" Well you may not know this but all the research paper you wrote on Dragon type as well as Mind Arts trio is shown to all the gym leader, Elite four and Champion who has any of those types or a specialist on those types by Prof. Oak and also Prof. Sycamore declared as a youngest field researcher and a Professor after the test you took 3 months ago." Said Drasana to Naruto who became shell shocked at this.
" I see. I didn't know that they gave me Professor title." said Naruto to Drasna.
" Drasna-san not that I mind but what are you doing here?" asked Naruto.
" Oh I was nearby so I decide to walk through the mountain region instead of flying on my Noivern or Altaria and see if I can find any Dragon Type Pokemon." said Drasna then continued " Even though I didn't find any Dragon type Pokemon it's still worth it as I get to meet such talented person like you as well as a Legendery Dragon Type Pokemon." said Drasna with cheerful tone.
" So professor how is your research on Mega Evolution Coming Along ?" asked Drasna to Nauto to which he replied with a sigh " I didn't get much progress on it."
" I see. Did you check the Shalour city? As I heard from the Rumor that a Mega Lucario was seen there." asked Drasna to Naruto who is surprised but composed himself and answer " Thank you Drasana-san for telling me this as I didn't know about this rumor but I will check it out."
After sometime of talking to each other Drasna left there to reach Kalos league tower on her Noivern and Naruto moved Towards Shalour City.
Time skip a week :-
It's been a week Naruto meet Drasna and started his journey towards Shalour City and finally he reach Shalour City.
As he moving throughout the city he find himself infront of Pokemon Center so he decided to go in so Nurse Joy check his Pokemon if they are allright.
As he go in he saw Nurse Joy sitting on the counter and reading magazine.
"Hello Nurse Joy could you check my Pokemon and see if they are all right?" asked Naruto to Nurse Joy who look up from the magazine and smiled and say " Of course young man just put your Pokeballs on the tray."
Naruto did just that and move towards cafeteria to get some food as he is hungry.
Now we see Naruto is eating a sandwitch when he heared some trainers discussing how the Gym leaders Lucario went through some temporary evoulution which make it very strong.
Naruto realize they are talking about Mega Evolution so he decided to listen their conversation.
After some time Nurse Joy called him to the counter to collect his Pokeballs so he left the cafeteria and goes to the counter to collect his Pokeballs.
After collecting Pokeballs and thanking Nurse Joy Naruto left the Pokemon Center and started to look for the Shalour City Gym as there he will get to know more about Mega Evolution.
After 45 minutes he managed to find the Gym but before he move to the gym one of his Pokeball open and Lucario come out and inform him he sense a strange aura coming from the island in the distance as Naruto look towards the island and use his Aura to sense but didn't sense anything so he decided to link his Aura with Lucario's.
As soon as he linked his Aura with Lucario's he sense this strange Aura so he decided to check out the island but before he could do anything he heard a elderly voice from behind so he turned and see a elderly man with thick eyebrow and light green eyes looking at him and his Lucario curiously.
" Well young man who are you? And what are you doing here?" asked the old man to Naruto.
" Hello sir my name is Naruto and this is my partner Lucario we came here to meet Shalour city gym leader and asked him about something but we sense some strange Aura from that island so we just going to check it out." said Naruto politely to the old man who look in Naruto's eye to find any decit but found none so he smiled.
" Well young Naruto I am Gurkinn and I am the Shalour city gym leader it's nice to meet you." said the old man which surprised Naruto a little but before he could say anything Gurkinn said " Naruto lets go to the gym there you can ask me your queary and by the way your Lucario look quite strong too."
" Thank you sir I tried my best to train him but It's Lucario's determination and hardwork that made him strong but I belive there is still room for improvement." said Naruto with a small smile as they walking towards the Tower of Mastery to which Lucario thanked him.
" Well said my boy very well said but don't sell yourself short cause if you didn't guide your Lucario properly he will not be this strong." Said Gurkinn.
After some time they reach the Tower of Mastery which is also the Shalour city gym. As soon as they entered the gym they were greeted by a blond girl with green eyes who is same age as Naruto and has a Riolu with her.
" Ah Naruto meet my granddaughter Korrina and Korrina this is Naruto a Pokemon trainer." said Gurkinn to both Naruto and Korrina as he introduced them to each other.
" Nice to meet you Korrina I am Naruto." said Naruto to Korrina who smiled and reply " Nice to meet you too Naruto."
" Well Young man now you can ask me your query." said Gurkinn to Naruto as they seat on the couch.
" Well Gurkinn-san I am helping Prof. Sycamore with research on Mega evolution and I heard from Drasna-san that here in Shalour city a Mega Lucario is sighted so can you tell me if you know any thing about it." said Naruto to Gurkinn who is surprised a bit but compose himself.
" Sure my boy I will tell you about it as I can see that Prof. Sycamore trying to find about Mega Evolution and it's high time that other trainer get to know abou it as well." Said Gurkinn and started to explain about Mega Evolution to Naruto who listen all the information Intently.
" Gurkinn-san how about the island did you know anything about it ?" asked Naruto
" Yes my boy that island is called Mega island as there many mega stone are said to be present and the Pokemon who can Mega Evolve are said to be seen on that island." Said Gurkinn.
" Interesting an island where mega stone can be found huh." Said Naruto to himself then he turned to Gurkinn and asked if he can visit the island and see if he can find any Mega Stone for research to which Gurkinn was thoughtful for a moment but agreed in one condition.
The condition is that Naruto and his Lucario have to battle Gurkinn and his Lucario to which Naruto agreed as they moved to the battlefield. Korrina is also with them acting as a referee.
" This is a one on one battle between Naruto of Pallet town and Gurkinn the Shalour city gym leader now both trainer call you Pokemon." said Korrina.
" Lucario let's battle." said Naruto as he call out his Lucario.
" Lucario I chose you." said Gurkinn as he also called his Lucario
As soon as Gurkinn Lucario came out his pokeball Naruto see that there is a strange stone in Lucario's bracelet like one Gurkinn has on his gloves so Naruto asks " Gurkinn-san is that a Mega stone on Lucario's and your's hand?"
" Well my boy on my glove is a key stone with which we can trigger Mega evolutiuon and on Lucario's arm is a Lucarionite which help Lucario to Mega Evolve."said Gurkinn to which Naruto became surprised but shook it off and focuses on the battle.
" Is both trainer ready?" Korrina asked to which both Naruto and Gurkinn nodded " Well then begin." said Korrina.
" Lucario use Bone Rush." said Gurkinn.
" You as well Lucario ." said Naruto as both Lucario clash with each other.
" Lucario formation 1B." said Naruto which confuses Gurkinn but he wait and see what Naruto had planned.
Naruto's Lucario use a combination of Double team, Extreme speed and Aura Sphere.
Seeing the combo Gurkinn brcame shocked but composed himself and asked his lucario to use bone rush and deflect all the Aura Sphere.
" Now Lucario use Extere Speed to close the distance and use Close Combat." Said Gurkinn to his Lucario.
" Lucario use Flaming Lighting Fist." said Naruto to his Lucario as to counter Gurkinn Lucario.
Gurkinn again shocked with Naruto's statergy as Narutro's Lucario use a combination of Fire and Thunder punch as well as Blaze kick and what look like Electric verson of Blaze kick in Close Combat. It deal heavy damage to Gurkinn's Lucario.
On the sideline Korinna was shocked that her grandfather is loosing to Naruto.
" Well Naruto you surely hasome interesting statergy and move." praised Gurkinn to which Naruto thanked the man but Gurkinn said " Well Naruto I am impressed but let's see how you respond against Mega Lucario." and Mega Evolve his Lucario.
As the battle progressed Gurkinn saw Naruto's Lucario even though take damage still keep up with his Mega Lucario and Battle him on almost Equal Footing. It impressed Gurkinn that this boy meneged to train his Lucario to the level where he can go toe to toe with his Mega Lucario.
After Some time Battle ended as Gurkinn and His Lucario win barely.
" Well Naruto I am impressed." said Gurkinn and turned to his Granddaughter and said " See that Korinna this is how a real trainer battles." who nodded and determined to become as strong if not stronger than Naruto.
Gurkinn then give Naruto a Mega Glove and as soon as Naruto wear it He and Lucario started to sense Aura of Lucarionite from Mega Island which impressed Gurkinn.
" Well Naruto I see that You and Lucario can sense Lucarionite but as It late today let's go tomorrow to find the Lucarionite to the Mega Island."said Gurkinn to which Naruto agrees.
Next day Gurkinn Naruto and Korrina goes to the Mega Island by boat as Naruto see many Gyarados is swimming along side them. Naruto at first want to catch one but decided against it.
After sometime they reach the island and started to move towards the Lucarionite as Lucario can sense it's Aura.
Naruto also decided he would catch some pokemon on the Mega Island after getting Lucarionite and also will search for other mega stone so he can study the Mega Evolution properly.
As Naruto started to move he didn't know that he will about to bought a revolution on Pokemon World as his goal to find all type of Mega Stone and the Pokemon which can Mega Evolve with that stone will not only help him towards his Journey as an Aura Guardian and a Champion in the future but also help other trainer as well.
