CHAPTER START~!

BOOOOOOOM~!

"RUN!" A blonde male screamed as he held a light lavender cat-like being in his arms as he and another male ran from a smoking hole that spontaneously exploded.

"YEAH, I KNOW IDIOT!" The other male cried as a black fur cat also ran behind them as they all headed to a rust-colored bike with a huge shiny engine with six tubes pointing out for exhaust. The blonde headed to the sidecar that was connected to the bike, "Yo Ivory and Ebony sit!" He ordered as the lavender cat gently sat on his lap while the black fur one roughly landed. Soon the other male reached and started up the bike, smiling as flames spewed from the engine.

"Traitors!"

The two teens looked back to see a muscular mustache man glaring at them from the hole that they escaped from, "Oh he is pissed!" The blonde teen smiled nervously as the cats nodded to him.

"As they say in my region, fick 'em!" The driver said before driving off at top speed, as the two laughed into the desert that stretched the horizon.

XXXXX

It's been a few hours as the two teens saw a broken and rusted train next to a gas pump, "Okay, let's get something to eat before I drop you off." The driver said as he slowed down to the gas pump. The blonde smiled as the two cats got off of him then ran underneath the train shadow to cool off from the sun. The blonde watched as the other teen hand went to a one-way steel-colored sunglasses, seeing his amber-colored eyes. The young man also took the moment to realize his friend's clothing, it was a sun-faded dark blue jumpsuit/jacket with jet black skin-tight pants connected to metal-clad boots. His tan skin isn't exotic in this region given the burning sun at this time of year, and their jobs often make them use their bikes for long term traveling. The sand-colored hair was comb back and spiky similar to the blonde's own hairstyle. Lastly, he had a single white horizontal stripe on his face across his nose. The teen looked back at the blonde with a raised eyebrow, "You coming?"

The blonde nodded immediately as he rushed in with the other teen to see a small restaurant in the broken down train, a large muscular man smiled at the two, "Hey, welcome, the same thing as usual Wes?" The man asked the blue dressed teen who nodded.

"Double it and some desserts, me and Naruto here got some business to talk about." The now named Wes of the duo said as he walked to the last table where they entered the booth. "Alright, you know what's going to happen right?" The shade wearer stated taking out a small device, it was a tape recorder.

"Right… okay…" Naruto took a deep breath as he nodded. "Let's do it."

Wes brought the device close to his mouth before he started, "This is Wes, Codename Leo of the international Police of the Orre region, my investigation of the criminal gang known as Snagem just concluded in rather… explosive ending ahaha." The young man laughed darkly at the joke, "Sadly though I had to bring in help to stop this activity. His name…" He placed the recorder between the two, gesturing a hand for Naruto to start off.

"Uh, Naruto Uzumaki, resident of the Orre Region?" He said softly as Wes nodded before watching the owner of the restaurant bring their food.

As the plates came Wes started, "This is all standard procedure, please explain how you got to Team Snagem."

"Right." Naruto nodded, before clearing his throat. "Okay, it all started when…

XXXXX

I was born into a clan… we… we've been told to always train ever since we were kids.

A young Naruto barely at five was running ahead of other older teens, wearing heavyweights on his limbs. Running as he threw wooden spheres at targets with deadly precision.

Train? For what?

Wes voiced soon changed the background to show Naruto with the kids, all were listening to an elderly woman showing them a stone monument of a small fairy-like creature.

We were trained to protect the world, from people who would try to disrupt the order of the world. Apparently it's not just my village but major cities in other regions.

I heard, but only rumors… but how did you get from being trained to be a good guy to snagging Pokemon from trainers?

The scene now shows a young Naruto stopping in his tracks when running with his friends to see the desert of the Orre region he lived in, but never explored before dashing forward.

That's… another long story in and of itself. You see… I'm the current leader's son, I have to take more brutal and harder training than the rest. I was going to be forced to stay in the little village forever, marry a girl, then never really doing anything until my time, if that ever in this lifetime, comes to protect the world of Pokemon.

So you decided to run off and do something about it? You didn't want to wait?

XXXXX

Naruto glared at Wes as he stopped eating his burger that was in his hands, "You know how hard it was for me to do anything I like?" He started out with a huff, "I can't watch TV with the kids cause Dad wants me to meditate if I have free time I need to work on trick shots to catch any type of Pokemon with less than average pokeballs that have low catching rates."

Wes who was cutting his steak in small pieces nodded softly, "You were stuck with Pokéballs and Great Balls?" Wes looked at the boy incredulously who shook his head.

"Defective Pokeballs, if a Pokeball has a rate of 1, then the ones I have are a rate of .5," Naruto explained as Wes's eyes widened. Even capturing a Baby Pokemon that just hatched would take a few times.

"Damn, I feel bad for ya."

"I somehow made it to Pyrite Town, the home of criminals and gangs alike…" Naruto spat out in disgust at the memory of the run-down place. "Thankfully, I ran with the Riders, a group who make bikes and deliveries, the leader was an ok guy despite some of the girls doing… some on the side fun for money." Naruto said with a small blush on his face on the times the girls who're skin-tight outfits and offer their services to him despite him being young at the time.

"Right, my bike was a custom job from them," Wes stated before finishing the rest of the food before pulling another plate of steak. "Alright so fast forward, where or when did you join Team Snagem."

"It was by chance, I'd done deliveries for them and the leader like how I always got their mail and parcels from a long distance to them in earlier times and great at keeping my mouth shut for under the table drop-offs." Naruto admitted as he looked at his remaining meal, "God I was stupid…"

"Naruto." Wes said, trying to understand but make him continue.

"The leader asked me if I wanted money, power, and girls. And I said yes to the first two, but I didn't know at the time what they did." Wes nodded before stopping the tape, making Naruto raise an eyebrow at him. "Why are you-?"

"I need to make sure not to get you deeper so I'll just lie saying I didn't bring enough tapes, so continue, anything incriminating comes up I will just lie to my superiors as thanks for helping me." The blue jacket teen declared.

"Um… are you sure? I mean-"

"Yeah, it's totally fine." Wes waved off. "Go on. Continue."

The young man nodded, "At the time, they stole Pokemon from trainers in the Orre Region and since there are no real Gym Leaders, Office Jenny's, or even a proper HQ for authority here it was easy pickings for them. But the more experienced trainers were the real targets, thus they made the first machine to steal Pokemon that belongs to other Trainers." Naruto said as he turned to his left arm… "The Snag Machine."

"How did they do it? I mean, how does the Snag Machine work exactly?" Wes inquired of the young boy.

"Do you know how Pokeballs can't capture already owned Pokemon?" Naruto asked the undercover cop. "That's when a Pokemon is caught that the system for registered trainers or people who have properly registered pokemon tells other Pokeballs they cannot be caught."

"Yet the Snagem Machine bypasses that security measure somehow in one way or another." Wes pondered in thought.

"My leader told me that we are getting support from another group who wants to save pokemon abused by their owners… which is why I agreed to use it. Anyway, the system supposedly does what it does by using the register pokemon like Wild Pokemon, which means the catching rate for Pokeballs works on captured pokemon like the wild. Thus it could fail if they lower the damage or had a low rate ball."

"I see, the eggheads will learn about this more when I tell them." Wes declared before taking a deep sigh. "And why did you defect?"

"…After collecting fifty pokemon, the Boss gave me a new pokemon that was because of my accomplishments. A recently hatched Ralts, but when I… brought to battle it was beyond any kind of aggression that a normal Pokemon should have." He said as Naruto took a moment to collect himself, "Later I learned that they did something to it, and I had to do something."

"Which led you to find me when you saw me downloading information-" Wes started as Naruto nodded.

"And lead to us stealing the machine and then getting some pretty damn good burgers."

"Right. That about sums it up." Wes said before picking up his drink, to down the last of the liquid before placing it down on the table. "Thanks, Naruto. You've been very cooperative. I'll be sure HQ gets this information and we'll go from there."

Naruto nodded at that, "Right, so this is it?"

"Not exactly, but due to me… unable to find you or your village." A sly smirk made Naruto realize he was telling him that he was letting him free. "So if the crimes don't pin on you, you're free… but I need to really know where it is, can't let you walk all the way there and need to find you in case we need you to testify." Wes explained the last bit, "On my word, I won't tell anyone, not even my superiors."

"Wes, I… I don't know what to say, really." Naruto got out.

"How about a thank you?" Wes smirked at the boy. "Either way, we better hurry. I gotta send this info to the mayor in that fancy city. So come on," he said, leaving the booth as Naruto followed.

"HEY! YOUR BILL!"

"Put it on my tab!" Wes called out, ignoring the owner flicking him off. "Bastard knows I pay at the end of the month."

XXXXX

The two resume the ride to pass the desert to arrive at a small area of forest, "This the place?"

"It is." Wes nodded as the two dismounted off the former's bike, taking off their helmets. "It shouldn't be too far from here going on foot."

"Wes you can't come, I'm already probably going to be banished for my leaving. If I bring a cop… an outsider, I'll be lucky to even leave with my clothes on my back. Please just go, you have to get that info, quickly as possible. I need to do this myself." Naruto said as the other teen took a moment before nodding.

"Alright, oh here," the teen pulled a small device, "Compensation for losing your job."

"What is it?" Naruto questioned, taking the small device. He looked at the object as it was a metal folded device, before turning it on where it showed a green screen that had… "Whoa that's a lot of cash." He said astonished at the amount that showed.

"Pokemon Digital Assistant." Wes said before smirking, "Standard stuff for us agents."

"…are… you sure this isn't a fax number?" Naruto looked at Wes with slight doubt.

"Your pay, take and leave it. Or go to the nearest pleasure house and spend it all. Goodluck." Wes said looking back with a calm smile before taking off. Naruto looked down and silently thanked him before turning away and walked, another few yards before he reached his village.

SHING

The blonde flipped back to dodge an arrow that nearly got him, to see a white eyed woman with short blue hair and a messy red haired woman that had a dark scowl. Next to the white eyed girl was a Vileplume. A bright red flower top Pokemon curly glaring at Naruto while the other Pokemon next to the messy haired girl was a yellow colored being holding a silver spoon, it was a Kadabra.

Naruto could only sigh at the person he was seeing in front of him now. He was hoping that they would at least talk things out, but it looked like diplomacy was thrown out the window before it even began.

"Long time no see…" Naruto smiled softly as the girls looked alarmed, the blue haired girl lowered her bow as she spoke in slight relief when realizing who he was.

"Do not do that." The red-girl sighed. "I would have had Kadabra blast you with a Psywave."

"Sheesh Tayuya, what about familial love?" Naruto said as the Kadabra pointed its spoon at him.

She whistled causing it to move back, "Hey watch it, you know the fam is already pissed at you." The red haired girl said, "Not to mention the Chief learned about what you did."

"He does? Well great, this is going to be more awkward." Naruto whispered to himself for that information being dropped.

"So? Should we do this the easy way or the hard way?" Tayuya questioned the boy, crossing her arms. "And please, don't get on my bad side. You know how colorful I can get."

"Wow, dad found a way to keep your sailor mouth in check… guess miracles can happen." Naruto teased as the red face girl fumed at his words. "I mean ma always said you sounded like you were getting railed like the rider girls when that mouth and loud voice of yours."

"Hold this Hinata." Tayuya said, passing the other girl her bow and Naruto only saw a swift punch before everything went black for him.

XXXXX

"Ughh…" Naruto groaned, opening his eyes to see himself inside of a cage made from bamboo. "Ok either this is my wildest fantasy or that my dad is-"

"Naruto…"

The blonde eyes became deadpan and lifeless when he realized it was the latter, "…hey dad…" He greeted lamely as he slowly sat up and saw the man in front of him. He was a taller almost mirror look alike to Naruto, save for the longer bangs and no whiskers marks.

"Do you know why you're here?"

"Yes…" Naruto answered. "I left the clan." His eyes wondered and saw dozens of people watching him from his little cage. "And join a crime syndicate… but I did the right thing and called the police to stop them."

"You still broke the rules." His father said sternly with a disappointing look.

"That's it? Rules?" Naruto glared at the man he called father, "You didn't think it was because of that I left!? While all the kids got gifts and fun play time, I had to work and learn how to survive better than most! I never had a good meal, because you told the cooks here to give me only fruits and vegetables while the kids enjoy home cooked meals. I did everything and you demanded more!"

The rest of the villagers gave him pitiful looks at his words as many of the kids knew this to be true. Naruto took a deep breath, "I didn't come back because I wanted to, but… I need help. My Pokémon… something is wrong with them."

The man took a moment to nod, "Hinata, give me his Pokémon."

"The two balls on the far left are the ones needed… but I recommend taking a step back." The caged teen warned. Everyone watched as the girl tapped the main button to enlarge the balls to hand sized and threw them to see two beams of light summoning out two beings.

The first was a small, quadruped, fox-like Pokémon with a red-brown pelt with a cream-colored underbelly. It has brown eyes, large, pointed ears with dark brown insides, and a triangular dark brown nose. Its paws are slightly darker than the rest of its pelt and have light brown paw pads. On top of its head are three curled locks of orange fur with bangs, and it has orange tails with curled tips. And it has six curled tails.

The second was a humanoid Pokémon with a white body. It has thin arms and legs that widen toward the feet. There is a wispy extension trailing off the back of its feet, creating the overall impression of a nightgown or oversized dress. Most of its face is covered by green hair that resembles a bowl cut, but a pair of pinkish red eyes is sometimes visible. There are two flat, red horns on top of its head: a large one toward the front and a smaller one at the back.

These were Vulpix and Ralts respectively.

"Awwwwwwwww!" Some of the young girls gushed at the cuteness of the Pokémon, Tayuya coming towards Vulpix until Naruto shouted as the fox pokemon nearly bit Tayuya's hand as Ralts lifted its head to show an empty look in its eyes.

"Hmmm… These Pokémon have been tainted." Naruto's father analyzed, examining their behavior. Before catching the fist from Ralts, with slight difficulty that showed on his shaking hand, "And… more powerful than they appear…" He grunted as the man moved back as Ralts stood there with empty eyes.

"That's the thing, they are more aggressive than type of Pokemon, even Graydos aren't this aggressive even wild unless you provoke them. Ralts usually flee from people not attack." Naruto said as his father nodded.

"I see it…" Right before the man's eyes was a pitch black aura in front of him, it seems that the legend is true. "Hinata, Tayuya, bring Naruto to the Monument." He declared as the man went to Nartuo's cage touching it. "HAAA~!"

BOOM~!

The young man looked stunned as the cage made from strong material was blast away. "Okay… that was fucking awesome!"

"Language please." The patriarch chided the young man. "I taught you better than that."

"No you didn't…" Naruto said in pure honesty, "That was ma…"

"Oh…" Was all the leader said with a rare blush.

LINE BREAK

And so Hinata and Tayuya led the boy over to the Monument that was in the village's center. Naruto eyes gaze over this area, "I know this place, whenever a festival happens or important events come, we would gather here.'

Hinata nodded, "Yes, but now it's time for it to be used." The gentle woman said moving towards the monument and went on her knees, spreading her arms before moving left arm upwards and right arm downwards to make a ball-like shape as they stopped a few inches from each other.

"Alright time for this practice to fuc-, pay off…" Tayuya said, taking out a wooden flute, "3… 3… 3… 3, 2, 1-!" After preparing herself she began to play a soft melody as the stone monument soon glowed green as well as Hinata.

Naruto watched as the girl stood, her eyes no longer a pale lavender, but bright emerald green… before a soft smile came into her lips, "H~ello!" A second voice came out along with the girl.

The leader of the small village took a knee before glaring at his son to do it also, to which he did so. "My apologies for summoning onto a host… Celebi."

The younger blonde eyes widened as heard that name, "Celebi as in the time traveling Pokémon?"

"Oh no, it's quite alright, really!" Celebi/Hinata answered. "So, what brought you to summon me today?"

"As you know, our clan has been serving your teachings ever since the Johto Celebi shrine was revealed to the public and we migrated to here in Orre-"

Celebi/Hinata yawned as the long explanation; "Yes, yes, yes, I know all about that. Now what Pokémon needs healing?"

The father looked flabbergasted, surprised that the time traveling Pokémon would be so casual and carefree. "Er yes, um… my son has brought with him a Ralts and a Vulpix that are tainted with the darkness."

"Hmm?" The young possessed woman looked and saw two of the empty looking Pokemon and frowned at the sight. "It seems history does repeat itself, although a bit earlier than I remembered. Who has them?"

"I do…" Naruto walked forward as Celebi/Hinata leaned forward and nodded. Making the young man lean back from the close proximity of a supposedly legendary pokemon.

"Cute enough, the gap between his strong handsome looks with a soft yet feminine face highlights him. Ehshishi, if I were a human girl I'd be on you, like stink on a Muk! Or better yet, a Skuntank or a Garbodor!"

"ER-HEM!" The father cleared his throat intentionally to get Celebi/Hinata's attention. "With all due respect, can we please focus on the task at hand?"

"Ehehe right…" The girl looked at the boy before using Hinata's arms to grab a hold of Naruto's shoulder while the other went to his neck. "Hold on a mo…" she said, watching a golden aura flowing around Naruto's body. "Alright, so your Pokemon, huh?"

"Y-Yeah." Naruto said nervously.

"Come with me, and I'll teach you how to fix this." The woman said, pulling Naruto before the green aura she produced started to fade, "Whoa! Better hurry, cause the red carpet is not lasting long."

"Fuc-"

"Tayuya!"

"S-Sorry!" The red haired girl blushed when almost breaking her concentration for keeping the spirit in Hinata.

Celebi/Hinata pulled Vulpix to her as she took a moment to breathe, "Let the aura you have flow into the Pokemon, while touching this~" she said crouching down to lay a hand on the red fox Pokemon while her free hand went and touched the monument. The green monument glowed brighter as its energy transferred to Vulpix, with Celebi/Hinata acting as the bridge.

"Vul…" The fox creature cried before the black aura around it became visible as it exploded. "V-Vulpix!"

"You did it." Naruto said in slight awe. "Does that mean-"

"Your turn…" she said with a glare, but soon faded out. "Please hurry, I want to test something out!"

"OK!" Naruto shouted as he brought Ralts to the monument. Holding Ralt's hand with one of his and touching the monument with the other, the energy from the stone transferred to Ralts. Naruto took a moment to watch as Ralts eyes regained life in them! Naruto's eyes smiled as he saw Ralts… glow white? "Wait, Ralts is-"

"It's evolving." His father said as Ralts changed shape and form, growing a little taller before it finished its evolution. It was a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon that appears to be wearing a tutu. Most of its body is white, and there are three ruffles on each hip. Beneath the ruffles, it has skinny green legs with long, pointed feet. Its arms are also thin with two digits each. It has green hair that covers most of its face and reaches its shoulders on either side, resembling two ponytails. Large, red eyes are visible on either side of the hair that covers its face. On each side of its head is a flat, red horn that resembles a hairpin.

"Kirlia, the Emotion Pokémon." The father said. "It is said that it uses the horns on its head to amplify its Psychic powers, and when this occurs, reality becomes warped, and future events can be seen."

"Cool! Give two secs!" Celebi said, vanishing before suddenly returning with a bathrobe. Smiling widely at her little test, "Ha, they do float!"

The man tried desperately not to roll his eyes, "Celebi, I thank you for-"

"Actually hold that thought Minato," she said dismissing him as she strutted towards Naruto.

"Um… what are you doing?" Naruto asked nervously as he was actually sweating.

"You… I entrust you to save what you did-" Was all she said as Hinata fell forward as Tayuya gasped out.

Naruto grabbed the girl before she could fall to the ground. "She's knocked out…" He muttered. He then looked towards Minato. "Thank you, Father…"

"...Was I really that bad?" He said as his son nodded whistling his two Pokemon before a hand was on his head. "You can stay...if you want, you don't have to train unless you don't want to. "

"No it's okay. I just..." Naruto shook his head. "I'll stay…"

XXXXXXXXXX

A FEW MONTHS LATER

XXXXXXXXXX

"Kirlia!" Naruto watched as his psychic Pokemon slowly danced in place. "Be careful Luna…"

It's been a few months since he returned home and saved his Pokemon, and the village has all welcomed him back. He had actually finished his last training just to get it down, but it was boring like last time. His family being guardians to this monument, meant he has to stay here forever.

"Another boring day…" Naruto sighed to himself, until he heard a ringing noise. He realized it came from his satchel. He took the item to see it was PDA, turning it on, he saw it was Wes slightly alarmed. "We-"

"Uzumaki, find a TV now!" Was all he said before it went dark.

"Whoa, whoa, what's going on!?" Naruto demanded. "Hey Wes!" He called out, but there was no response. Clicking his tongue in annoyance, he ran towards Minato's house. "Dad, is the TV on? I need to watch it!"

"Head to commons!" His father yelled as he was no doubt training. Naruto groaned before running towards the commons. He quickly found the remote on the coffee table and quickly pointed it at the TV and it turned on.

A news woman appeared on the screen, ["Greetings to all, returning to the news, we have startling news of super aggressive Pokémon spreading all across many regions. Most recent cases have been Kanto, Johto, Orange Islands and lastly Hoenn. We advise everyone to use extreme caution and stay in your homes unless advised otherwise."]

"No…" The boy said as he took a step back, that shouldn't be possible. How could this be? What just happened? He tried to rack his brain for answers, but he couldn't come up with any.

"Something wrong?" Minato said, entering the room to see the news. "What is happening…?"

XXXXX

"This isn't good, Naruto." The father declared knowing that if those types of Pokémon were out meant that someone was still making them.

"It's my fault, I know I captured a lot but for them to distribute them at this level? Three regions so suddenly? Either they found a new helper to steal Pokemon or… It doesn't matter. I'm going to save them."

"My son, listen-"

"No dad, I already left the village before I knew how things work outside compared to all of you. Not to mention I started this!" Naruto argued with his father knowing he wouldn't let him go.

"It's not-"

"I have to, alright? I made lots of mistakes but I can't look away from this." Naruto stopped as Minato grabbed his shoulders and shook him comically.

"Will you let me finish talking, boy!?" Minato shouted.

…

…

…

"Yes sir…"

"Good Arceus…" Minato sighed. "Now, as I was about to say, I'm not going to stop you."

…

"Say what now?"

"You heard me. I'm not stopping you. If you feel the need to do this, then by all means go." Minato said, crossing his arms. "Celebi has taught you skills even I can't copy, she must have chosen you as her guardian... Naruto, do you remember why our family exists?"

The young knew why, it was one of the reasons he left, "All regions have families worshipping and following the will of the Legendaries. In Kanto, I know those who listen to the Legendary Birds, Johto the Legendary Dogs by one clan while the other Uchiha's, our old allies, pray to the two legendary birds."

"Well, one of them is part dragon-ish." Naruto cOrrected.

"Er-hem, not the point. But you've forgotten that the Uzumaki/Namikaze clans used to be in Johto until the Shrine to Celebi was founded by the normal people and relocated here. Orre where it has a lack of wild Pokemon and also trainers to accidentally find us." Minato said, reminding his son the reason why they were used to being in Johto.

"And Hoenn is Regi's, not much is known about those and their clan due to them being very isolated to even follow followers of the Legendaries. They and its two dragons, once again not much is known ever since the War broke out in Sinnoh in ancient times where most Legendaries had to hide from the world when lords tried to use their powers for evil. Then the last three are Kyogre, Groundon, and lastly Rayquaza. Those clans were destroyed during said war, but given that none of the Pokemon return since their primal age and the war, it was better left to not talk about them." Naruto listed off, as the aforementioned clans were still in contact with his father, while the rest were either too good at hiding or died off. Either way, not much was said about the other regions due to distance, Kanto, Johto were a few days drive with a good bike like Wes' or usual public transport. A bit outside this landlocked region was a LARGE body of water that led to Hoenn, which either Kanto or Johto had to take a boat due to being much faster time to sail to from the sides then heading to Orre where nothing special was at.

"Yes…" Minato nodded. "I believe it's part of the larger scheme of things, times are changing. The Uchiha clan told me recently that a few years ago Lord Ho-oh was seen in Kanto."

"K-Kanto? It never goes outside to other regions, the last time-"

Minato nodded grimly, "The war that broke out in Sinnoh…" The man said looking at the sky, "Pokémon with dark auras, the rise of criminals all over the world… I believe the age of disaster is coming."

"No way…" Naruto said in disbelief.

"Listen to me, son. Arduous trials will await you. You will face harsh challenges the likes of which you've never seen." Minato warned. "But… as long as you face it together with your Pokémon, I'm sure you can overcome it."

"Dad, don't talk to me like I believe this." Naruto said with a sigh, "Just-"

The man nodded, "Okay… do what you will to fix your mistakes. And if you can be careful, furthermore… know that you can come home." He said holding his son as the man felt sad that he finally reconnected to his son only to have him leave again.

Naruto returned the gesture as he pulled away, "I'm going…" But his father soon gave him a bag, "Is this-?"

"You weren't the first member to be fed up with rules you know…" Minato smiled weakly as his son's eyes widened. "My… trainer days, it holds almost all the same stuff I had before returning home. Evolution stones, battle items, berries that I recently plucked from our gardens, and all the money from my bank when I used to hold my winnings. Should be a good enough start for you."

Naruto nodded, as his father also passed him a ticket, "I was going to use this ticket to visit the clans in Hoenn, if only to figure out the Regi clan members were alive or dead." Minato started, "We'll talk to the members of the other regions, with luck we can tell you more on some findings."

"Dad, I…" Naruto said, but raised a hand.

"Save your thanks, when you return home alive." Minato said.

Naruto walked until he left home for the second time in his life...

XXXXX

"Thank you for your patronage sir." A woman in a ticket booth said taking Naruto's ticket as he saw the luxury cruiser that was nearby. He had to go on boat to reach Hoenn the fastest, he had to pull some favors from his old Rider gang to get him to the docks just outside of the Orre region to arrive in time.

"Well, at least I'll be prepared for the initial trip of the journey." Naruto mused as he examined his bag of the items Minato gave him. He looked over the PDA, to see no news or emails from Wes so far-

Bump~

"Oww…"

Naruto looked down to see a cute girl he had knocked over, she was a slim young girl with emerald green eyes, dark black hair, and very pale skin. She has a strange hairstyle, with a partially shaved side, tufts of hair that resemble horns, and messy twin-tails tied with red ribbons. Her bangs are on her left side partially covering her eye.

Her attire consists of a studded black Gothic jacket, a pink mini dress with triangular holes cut into the bottom, and matching black and pink boots with sharply spiked heels. (Her boots also have three large studs and an upwards pointed toe.) For accessories, she wears a black choker around her neck (with a circle and three spikes outside of it) and a red diamond-shaped ear piercing. She also carries around a small red backpack that matches her hair ribbons.

"Damn just my luck for me to look like an idiot when arriving at a new place." The girl said with a slight cute accent. Naruto blushed on that, most regions never had much of different languages nor different cultures since the old wars from ancient times. She must be from the regions that were WAY out from this side of the world.

Naruto gave the girl his hand, "Sorry about that, I didn't see you on my PDA."

The girl only gave him a stoic look before taking it, "It's fine, I was just trying to head for the Hoenn cruise. But this region is odd, no Pokemon in the wild. It's different from Galar."

Galar! That's where the accent was from, huh, but what is she doing here? Was Naruto's thought pattern, before noticing that the girl was standing up, "I'm heading there too, need me to show you?"

"If it ain't too much of a bother." She asked, still looking rather… stoic, but he can hear her pleading tone underneath her polite words.

Naruto started to walk as the girl stood at his side, "So judging from your accent you're from Galar?"

The girl nodded, although looked downwards, "Right you are, I came here for the Hoenn League. To… g-get some practice before my region's own, Galar has hardcore battles so some trainin' might be good here."

Naruto nodded to that explanation, "Make sense…"

"What about you? Why are you heading to Hoenn?" The gothic girl questioned him this time as the blonde stopped his tracks… before smiling.

"Guess the same as you, to join the league." He said, as he actually was interested in the event as the girl made a surprised face before a small, but adorable smile came to her face.

"Good, hope we can travel about to help each other reach there… my name is Marnie Pointe," she said as she pulled out her right arm forward, "Merci for the assistance."

"Uh, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze… I know mouthful, and mercy back to you?" Naruto lately said missing the girl nearly chuckling.

"Merci, with an "i" at the end instead of a "y". It's our way of saying thanks in Galar. Our ancestors used to use a different language before they found more regions that spoke more of the common tongue." Marnie said as the two continued heading for the region.

Two trainers both with big dreams to accomplish, how will they achieve their goals? But for now, their tense and nerve wracking start became less scary due to how similar they were.

CHAPTER END

AK: Well I hope the wait was worth it, I tried to keep it unique until they arrived at Hoenn. So most chapters would be short to long as it would vary as it has Naruto own unique pace but he will battle the gym leaders. And yes Marnie will be his traveling companion similar to Broke/Clement/Cilan and Misty/May/Dawn. Maybe a few more would come but I'll keep a secret for now.

Now the harem as I promised there is one from each region...saved for the Aloha region to be honest I am going to skip that one is mostly not really a league one to me. I understand some don't like what I said but I stand by it, so here are the girls that I am revealing so far~

Kanto: Sabrina

Johto: Karen

Hoenn: Courtney (Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire look)

Galar: Marnie

As I said that's all I am revealing for now, might be more from other regions maybe not, the harem is decided and I gave a bone to you guys.
