A.N. Well, sorry for not posting, just dealing with the hand of cards I've been dealt in life.

Though I have gotten far more done upon what The teams will be, and more! Only really missing the Akatsuki, though, I think I know what I'm doing with them.

Also, HOO BOY, the challenge of trying to have no repeating Pokèmon and somewhat unique movesets has taken its toll! Unfortunately, there are about 6 Pokèmon Trainers with overlapping Pokèmon, but uh…

You already know how stupidly long I've taken to try and do this. Lemme not waste anymore of your time, and…

Let me thank, genjuki, Zero Gawain, SFIAT, and yaroslavbro12 for following! I am fairly certain this story wouldn't continue without you!

Please enjoy Whirlpool Trainer - Rock and Roll!

The complexities of human nature is and has always been… too much for me to understand. It always garners so many more questions that others couldn't answer. They always tried to move our attention away from the question and blatantly ignored it.

Didn't really bother me though. Obviously, true human nature comes during a fight. Fights always show the truth of a person, or Pokèmon for that matter. There's so much to see from… uh, what did Syca-san call it?

Someone's true emotions is what he basically said, I don't really remember what he said, honestly. He says too much to begin with!

Oh, but wasn't I doing something before now?

Oh, yeah!

"Get the little shit!" yelled the trainer of 'Machoke the unbending.'

'Oh yeah,' Naruto thought with a vicious smirk and a devious glint in his eye. 'The foot race is starting.'

Several cronies tried to leap at him, which resulted in failure, Naruto simply jumping away onto a Dumpster. Brandishing a kunai, Naruto took a couple of swipes at the approaching thugs, a few yelps escaping the crowd.

"Where the fuck did the kid get a knife from?!"

Naruto was slightly annoyed at the mislabeling of the weapon, but that wasn't his main worry. Actually, who was he kidding, worry was farthest from him right now!

"Really," Naruto quipped in a mock polite manner. "All this to greet me? I am truly honored."

The trainer's face began to turn red, hands balling into fists like a child. "Maybe if you kept your hands off my territory and my girl, none of this would happen!"

"Your territory and girl?" Naruto looked truly lost. "Dude, first of all, I'm 8. And Secondly, there is no world where, 'Vick of the icks,' had both a territory and a girlfriend. Seriously, that is the biggest piece of Tauros shit I have ever heard."

"Vick of the icks?" Victor the Machoke Trainer heard a whisper behind him. "Okay, I'd switch sides just for that nickname alone."

"You won't get paid though."

"Ah, damn," the first voice muttered, lightly snapping his fingers. "Yeah, kinda need the money, sorry kid." Victor's eyebrow twitched, his face reddening more at the stupid nickname. All the more to destroy this kid.

"So…" Naruto drawled, lifting on and off the balls of his feet several times. "Are we… just gonna stand here in this dreary alley or are we gonna-"

"GET HIM!"

~ Play Rock And Roll by Led Zeppelin ~

And it was off to the races! The initial scramble to grab the kid caused immediate problems for the ragtag group of thugs and previous opponents of Naruto's.

Naruto began to laugh at the expense of the raging group as he ran farther along the alley, listening to the angered cries and quips between the quickly fading group.

"Hey, get off me, asshat!"

"Why don't ya back off, skid mark!"

"Hey, watch the arm!"

"Charmeleon, Flamethrower!"

'Okay, the last part might be a problem,' Naruto thought with a grimace. Quickly dodging to the left, Naruto was glad he'd kept His ears open as blaze and cinder filled the alley, shooting into the street.

"Hah! Never catch me with just a Flamethrower!"

"Oh, more than just a Flamethrower, huh?" Victor muttered, dozens of Pokèmon surrounding him and his men, making Naruto's breath hitch.

~ Pause Music ~

It was a quiet day for the city of light. Whispers of the council of Professors entered the minds of many, yet the city maintained a peaceful atmosphere.

Down on a road close to the Professor's lab, it was nearly just as peaceful, if only for two additional people.

With a groan that carried the thorough discomfort for their position and likely the many other misfortunes they faced, a blonde laid face down upon the Cafe table, her black-haired companion sighing, petting an odd, snoring, dark gray ball with brown ears in her lap.

A large pile of Pokèpoffins and various sweets for human and Pokèmon consumption sat in front of the two. "Don't even know why I buy you things," the Blonde muttered. "We shouldn't be buying this."

"But you're the one who brought us here-"

"Oh, just shut up and enjoy. Be sure to bring out the others to enjoy."

Sniffing the air, the brown face of the Pokèmon was revealed, pink, triangle-shaped nose sniffing the table curiously. Its eyes remained close, odd teardrop like growths running across the bottom of its eyes.

Opening its eyes quickly and jerking its body up, the gray pig shoved its nubby front feet onto the table in front of the Pokèmon, the short and curly tail upon the Pokèmon's behind twirling in excitement.

"My, my, Lechonk, are you always this hungry?" The black-haired lady chuckled, petting the stubby pig while pushing him back a little. "I can't have you eating all of this now, though. Wouldn't be fair for everyone else, would it?"

"Shizune, would you kindly cut that incessant baby talk?"

"Okay, I understand, Lady Tsunade," Shizune murmured, feeding a small Poffin to Lechonk with far less enthusiasm.

"God, this headache is killing me!" Tsunade spat into the table surface.

"Maybe you shouldn't have been drinking so much?" Shizune softly urged. "What you drank last night would've killed a man 50 times over."

Tsunade raised her right index finger violently, as if to make a point, but the finger wilted and slowly dropped to the table.

This only made Shizune sigh, feeding another small poffin to the Lechonk in her lap. "Well, if it's any consolation, I heard that there's some sort of Pokèmon Professor meeting happening-"

"Not interested."

Silence permeated the room, the two odd members of the Cafe garnering the attention of many, especially with there… order.

"How about-"

"Listen, Shizune," Tsuande said in an almost patient sounding tone, still not facing up from the table. "Can I just… recover in peace today? Please?"

Shizune looked at her master with pity and sadness, before a large flame erupted from an alleyway across the street.

"Uh, Lady Tsunade? We may have a problem," Shizune quickly warned, watching a small kid blitz out of the alleyway, feeling a small Earthquake tremble through the Cafe, alarming the patrons.

"Mmm."

"Lady Tsunade, this may be serious," Shizune continued, watching the other patrons of the Cafe begin to panic as the tremors grew and call the Police. "There's a kid in trouble."

"Mmm."

"Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked in worry as a huge group of odd thugs, trainers, and Pokèmon ran over each other to try and reach the young, limber boy, random moves firing off at seemingly random, hitting the buildings and causing a large amount in property damage, making Shizune wince. Thankfully, anyone who was on the streets had reached a safe space before the arrival of this event, so no one Shizune could see was hurt.

"..."

"Lady Tsunade, please, I need your help." Shizune murmured as she watched the group run after the boy, the tremors becoming smaller and smaller. "Those thugs are getting away."

"Zzz…"

'I shouldn't have expected much else,' Shizune thought, clicking a button on a Pokèball to return Lechonk. He wasn't made for such battles and missions.

Looking at Tsunade's sleeping form for a couple more seconds, Shizune turned around, muttering, "Who am I kidding? Lady Tsunade isn't some damsel in distress, she can take care of herself."

"Alright, Comfey, let's help that kid," Shizune ordered, grabbing another Pokèball before throwing it. 'I hope that kid's alright.' Shizune thought sadly. 'Must be traumatizing to get chased by such a crowd.'

Meanwhile, said kid was, in fact, not traumatized.

Darting through the streets, Naruto laughed loudly. This had been the most of thing of all! The thrill of the chase! Whether that be the hunter or the hunted! There was simply nothing that got his blood pumping more!

*HONK*

"Hey! Watch where you're goin' you little ru- WAH!" a man in a car tried to yell but in the end served to miss the group of idiots still chasing him, though their numbers had plummeted.

Many had realized after the first block that the work wasn't worth the pay and quit then and there.

"Me, a quick buck," Naruto murmured darkly under his breath. "Yeah, right, Lechonk's would learn Fly before that, ya know."

"Slow- *wheeze* -down- *wheeze* -you- *wheeze* -stupid- *wheeze* *wheeze* -idiot!" Victor wheezed, back bent at a 90 degree angle, hands on his knees.

"Those two words together are kinda…" Naruto made a show of choosing his words, "Redundant, ya know?"

"RAHHH!" A still winded Victor went to charge up a haymaker. A slow haymaker. One stumbling closer to Naruto.

Naruto didn't move from where he stood as he watched Victor hit the ground with a thud.

~ Stop Music ~

"... Was that it?" Naruto asked incredulously. He bent down and began picking and kicking at Victor. "Come on, I know you were pathetic, but you couldn't be this bad, right?

"Nah, you gotta be faking it. All Shinobi fake something, ya know. Come on, just get up already."

Naruto's right eye twitched as Victor barely twitched, a frown quickly marring his face.

He walked to the others that littered his previous path, trying to find one that would keep this high going for him, but all had burnt themselves to the wick trying to catch him.

"Why are you all just so…" Naruto raved quietly, watching few of Victor's cronies try and use the last of their energy to get to him by drag themselves across the sidewalk. "Just so damn pathetic? How are you this weak?"

"How is a kid so sadistic?" A thug whimpered out.

"Hey, hey! I resent that, ya know! I am not sadistic, I'm just saying it as I see it, and you all are weak!"

"Kid! Oh thank goodness you're alright. Are you hurt, do you need healing? I'm Shizune by the way."

Naruto could only turn in suspicion to the black-haired lady, eyes narrowed to hopefully not show him emotions. "Who are you? Why are you here? Are you Vick of the Icks ex-girlfriend?"

'Uh… did this kid not listen to the first few things I said?' Shizune thought, slightly put off by the boys needless questions.

"I'm Shizune, I was wondering if you needed help, and why would anyone go by Vick of the Icks, thats-"

"Oh, its just a nickname I came up with for a stupid guy. Nothing to worry about for me, though these losers probably need to be detained or something, I don't know, I don't pay attention to the Police's workings."

"Oh, that's… nice," Shizune responded with what she hoped was a friendly note. 'I need to talk with more people than just Lady Tsunade' Shizune thought to herself, slightly mortified by the complete lack of conversation skills she had with a kid.
