Ok, this was a story I was thinking of a while ago, the first story I wanted to put on Fanfiction so this will possibly be updated a little faster than any other stories on here. This was mostly inspired by another Fanfiction called: The New Trainer by James Young.

I Do Not own either Pokémon or Naruto: Pokémon belongs to Nintendo while Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto with that out of the way...

"Did I die?" a weak voice asked as a young man laid on his back feeling exhausted. Around him was no noticeable landscape he recognized as he seemed to merely be drifting into the void, the stark white room both terrifying, yet relaxing at the same time...

"No... at least not yet brat" a voice echoed from his mind before he looked up and saw a large orange fox with red eyes and nine flowing tails looking at him in a mix of anger and uncertainty.

"F-fox, wait, why are you-where are we?" he asked, trying to get up and looking at the large beast with undivided attention. The fox itself merely looked on before answering honestly to his former host.

"This is your mind, Idiot. Though I think I almost prefer the pipe works and sewers over this place" he said, placing on hand under his chin to think. "That old bastard, Danzo... he blindsided us after the battle with Pain. Remember?"

The boy froze, trying to remember what the fox was talking about, only growing whiter with each second. "No..." he started to mutter before he was going into hysterics. "No-no, just... Damn-it" he shouted.

He remembered now, that old man and those Anbu. They ambushed him and slit his throat, why couldn't he remember more though. The Anbu, the old man and a shade of red with a black shuriken... Why didn't that make any sense?!

"So...so I'm really, I can't become Hokage, or see the others again" he cried out as the fox remained quiet with some respect he developed for the brat. "The others... Sakura, Grandma Tsunade, Hinata, Sasuke" he felt angry, he felt cheated...

He felt like breaking...

"I'm sorry brat" the fox said surprising him. "Just to set the record straight, I don't like you, in fact I wanted to see this day for myself." Naruto glared at him and was about to retort before what the beast said next surprised him.

"But you were one of the few good ones... someone who truly believed in the old man's dream. You had potential, much more than anyone else I've had the discomfort of knowing."

Naruto said nothing, shocked at the Kyuubi's revelation and looked at it intensely. Eventually, it started to annoy the large monster. "Hey brat, do I have something on my face. Quit staring" it said with narrowed eyes before the blond shinobi finally spoke up.

"Who's the old man" he asked as the Kyuubi raised an eyebrow. Naruto was interested in him huh, what right did the brat have to know or reason to tell the blond anything? Yet it wasn't like he had anything to lose by this point. If Naruto did die then he would have been freed by now, He might as well humor the idiot for some kind of reaction.

"Alright kid, I'll start from the beginning" he said as Naruto paid attention. "Long ago before you were even conceived, this world had not chakra, nor did it have shinobi villages or even us Tailed-Beasts. Long ago, there existed a tree known as the Shinju. And from that tree came a single fruit."

"What does this have anything to do with-?"

"I'm getting to that brat. Shut up and listen" the fox screamed, face against what remained of his prison as Naruto was quiet with wide eyes from the outburst. Seeing it as his turn to continue, the fox resumed his tale. "From that fruit, a woman named Kaguya gained great power and from what I was told, she used it to bring a false peace."

False peace, like with Nagato?

"She had two children...one of them were the old man, and as they grew up, they gained great power. However with the natural balance being disrupted, a cataclysm awoke."

"Huh" was the blonde's only response.

"From that tree came a beast, one that even I cannot compare to... That beast was formed from the hatred and conflict caused by the woman and her sons before becoming what was known Juubi"

"What, wait... there's a Ten-Tailed Beast out there?!" the blond shouted as he gaped and looked at the fox for answers, the fox eventually sighed, fighting a twitch for being interrupted... again.

"The beast rampaged; the woman disappeared for the monster had come to take back the power the woman had taken. The two sons fought and eventually defeated the beast, sealing him away in the oldest brother. That man's name was Hagoromo Ootsutsuki. The first Jinchuriki"

"What?" Naruto asked as the fox ignored him.

"You would better know him as the Rikudou Sennin/ Sage of the Six Paths."

"What?!"

"And with that power, he went to spread the ways of Ninshu... hoping to bring peace... true to the world." After that, the fox looked at the child and smirked, it was amusing to see the blond human look so shocked at that small revelation.

Naruto honestly didn't know whether to call bullshit or not. It seemed so unrealistic but at the same time... something in his gut told him that every word of that was true. Looking at the fox, he couldn't help but ask something.

"So, what happened then, to the Juubi" he asked as the Kyuubi's smile wavered and his eyes became clouded, as if remembering something.

"No one is immortal brat; the old man was no different."

"Uh... fox?"

"Upon his death, he separated the Juubi into nine different parts and gave us each a name... we Tailed Beasts are what remain of the Juubi's chakra."

"Wait-What, you mean you're a part of the Juubi?!" Naruto wasn't interrupted before the fox looked down at him in an intense glance before a small smile worked its way onto his furry mug.

"You kind of remind me of him in a sense... less amazing... more stupid and clearly a little brat but there was potential." Naruto blinked, not knowing if he should take the back-handed compliment or not. After a while Naruto asked one more question.

"Hey... Kyuubi, you said that Old Man Rikudou gave you a name right?"

"I did."

"Can you tell me?"

The fox said nothing at first before laughing at the request. "You want to learn my name... Ha, not that's funny." Naruto glared at the fox for mocking him.

"Hey, don't laugh you asshole, I just wanted to know your name, unless you like being fox" he yelled while pointing a finger at the fox. "But you know what, if you won't tell me I'll think of a new one for you... like, Fluffy or Mr. Cuddles? I'll even call you Mr. Grumpy Tails."

"Mr. Grumpy Tail's" laughter stopped as he twitched at the insulting names before speaking his mind.

"I will not be referred to as such horrible names. Call me that one more time and I swear brat I'll eat you alive!" Naruto on the other hand shrugged.

"I'm dying anyways... I've got nothing to lose." The Kyuubi said nothing before he started to chuckle.

"I guess not... very well then... in name of my begrudged tolerance of you, I will give you the honor of knowing my name. Take pride and bask in my generosity as I, the Great Kurama, shall grace you with my presence."

"Kurama..." Naruto muttered before smirking. "Well I guess it's nice to meet you" he said as he held his hands behind his back while Kurama growled at his name being said so casually.

If the brat wasn't already dead...

"Well then, I'm glad you got introductions out of the way then" another voice spoke up, causing them to turn to the source. Before them was a woman with raven hair, wearing a kimono and had an aura of great power. In her hand was a bow staff that was resting on her shoulder while she looked at them both with one matching black eye and a small smile. "Now we can begin."

Naruto instantly went on guard slipping into a basic fighting style before the woman sighed and tried to defuse the situation. "While I Understand your caution, I like to inform you I am of no threat to either of you."

"Yeah, then who the heck are you supposed to be" he asked while the woman kept her smile and with a flick of her fingers, summoned a small table and two chairs, Kurama disappearing and Naruto looking at this in shock.

"Don't worry, I merely separated us so I can talk to you in person" she said before sitting down, gesturing him to do the same. Naruto didn't trust her but he decided to see where this went. He was already dead, separated from Kurama and she basically could control this place.

He didn't like it.

"To answer your question, for many years I have been known as... Arcades" she said while Naruto raised an eyebrow. "I am a mere observer who doesn't usually meddle in these types of things but for now I have no choice."

"Huh, what do you mean by that" he asked, confused as she placed her staff down on the table.

"I guess you can say that I need help on a particular matter and with my abilities, I've brought you here to ask for your help." Ok, so that's what it was.

"But what can I do, I don't even know where we are" hell he was dead for crying out loud, were they going to reanimate him or something. The thought sickened him if that was the case, instead the woman smiled.

"It's true you died... but I'm able to pull a string or two. Similar to how Nagato revived those in the Leaf Village as his final atonement."

"Wait" Naruto said as he looked at her in shock. "You know Nagato?" he asked as she felt her own smile drop.

"We have never met before, but as I said, I am an observer" before getting to the point. "What I ask for you to help me with is to simply help me with an issue revolving around an interloper" she said as Naruto looked even more lost.

"An interloper, what the hell does that mean?" he asked while she smiled.

"I'm not of this dimension, she said before in a flash they appeared outside a small stadium. Looking down, Naruto saw something amazing. There were two monsters fighting, one was a purple four legged creature with a horn and two long ears. Another was a dark purple like shadow that held red eyes, making his skin crawl.

"In my dimension, we have no chakra; instead we utilize a source known as Aura. These creatures you see before you are what you would call Pokémon. Creatures who have full access to Aura, which most humans do not."

"Ok, wait, Pokémon? aura?" he asked as she nodded.

"Aura would be a parallel to your chakra. While chakra is the mixture of the body and mind, aura is a manifestation of one's very soul. Humans train rigorously to harness their aura while Pokémon naturally are blessed with it."

Ok, so he understood that part. It was like shinobi working hard to achieve their own abilities, people like Hinata, and Shikamaru who it could come really easy for... while others like Lee had to struggle for it with blood, strength and tears.

"Pokémon on the other hand are similar to both summoning creatures and Tailed Beasts. Humans work alongside them, sometimes for pets, sometimes for guardians and other times for battles."

"Battles?"

"The best way to describe it would be like your Chunin Exams. Where Pokémon would spar against one another to gain strength. The trainers also grow alongside them, yet there are those who would abuse them for nothing more than selfish glory and riches."

Turning to Naruto, she let out a smile. "This is one of the reasons I decided on you. Unlike most others, you hold a pure heart, despite your rashness and recklessness; you would truly make a remarkable trainer."

"So that's what I'm here for, to be a trainer?" he asked while Arcades nodded in conformation.

"Yes, but only in part of your true mission. As I said there is an interloper around these worlds, and that is causing serious damage that could kill many innocent lives"

"Huh, it's that bad?!" the blond yelled as she returned them to the white void and pointed upwards, only for the sky to darken and multiple stars to show up.

"Whoa" Naruto breathed in amazement as Arcades nodded.

"Yes it is rather breathtaking. Each star you see represents an alternate universe. A person could be born either male or female, their first Pokémon... the Pokémon they catch, even the ways they interact with others all vary on the world. There are worlds where there are no humans, worlds where certain Pokémon may exist where others of their kind do not. Every world is both unique and different. And that is what I'd like to save."

Turning away from Naruto, she finished her story. "This threat... is something that is currently destroying these worlds. They are getting erased one by one... like a game file being corrupted by a glitch. This is why I need to fight fire with fire. I need to locate this glitch taking out these worlds with one of my own."

"You mean... I'm a glitch?"

"You are an anomaly, one that should not by all means exist in these worlds yet you can and you shall. I need you to fight this interloper for me, to do so what I cannot and when you do and are victorious... I shall return you to your home return you to your life and leave you in peace."

Naruto stared at her in thought, weighing his options. On one hand, he would have a second chance, and a chance to return home... a chance to help others and even meet a few new people. On the other hand, he could be screwing himself over and could be walking into some kind of trap.

Then again, he was already dead so he might as well enjoy it while he can. As bad as that was to say... wait a minute.

"What about Kurama" he asked as Arcades smile didn't let up.

"Kurama... he is a packaged deal. If you go, he follows, he you stay, so does he" she explained as Naruto sweat dropped. Yeah, he better choose wisely, less he have the grumpy giant fox pissed at him again...

After a moment he just shrugged. "Why not, it's not like I have anything else to really do" he said as Arcades smiled and caught the blonde into a thankful embrace.

"You have my thanks Naruto Uzumaki... I will be in your debt and hoping for you to succeed... but there is something I need to point out."

"Huh?"

"Sending you there will have some... side effects, like temporary memory loss"

"Wait, What?!" he screamed, being tricked before it even began before Arcades clarified.

"What I mean is that you won't fully remember me, you won't remember why you're there until later down the line... and when you do then your mission will officially begin, and does that make sense?"

Naruto glared but sighed. He really hated that but if she was sure... but he swore if he forgot anything else he'd personally kick her ass and shove a Rasenshuriken up her-

"Fine, it's just our meeting, right?" he asked to confirm, getting a nod. "Ok then... anything else I should know about?" Will he grow another toe, or be able to fly with newly added dragon wings?

"No, just the temporary memory loss... your chakra being converted to Aura-and before you ask, nothing will change, and you will still be able to use it like chakra... just be more cautious with that... and that should be it."

Nodding, the blond shinobi smiled, albeit a little nervously. "Right, I'm ready then" he said before she nodded.

"Once you wake up, head to a town called Pallet and look for a man named Professor Oak, he will get you started on your journey as a trainer."

"Got it, I'll remember... wait, what if I forget... and what do you mean once I wake up" he asked but was ignored.

"Plus this will only hurt for a moment so try to keep that egg safe until it hatches ok." she said as his eyes widened in fear.

Egg? Wake up? Hurt for a moment... what the hell did she mean by-

Naruto Uzumaki screamed in pain, as his body felt like it was being torn apart piece by piece before from his stomached, came a bulge. And from that bulge formed what looked like to be an egg the size of Akamaru several years ago. Naruto also changed as his body started to shrink, reverting back to that of a twelve year old child.

Arcades smiled as she picked up Naruto with telekinesis and the egg with her hands; she placed the later in a backpack for the blond child. "That egg contains your partner, created from your strong will and heart. I know you two will do great things together... so I wish you the best of luck."

It didn't take long after for the boy to vanish from her domain, it took even less time for her to fall back on a chair and sigh. She knew that this was getting dangerous and having already sent out two more shinobi before him... he just hoped that the four of them were ready for when those leaches struck.

And once she acquired the last two... then perhaps the seven of them could stop the Ootsutsuki path of destruction in her domain.

She owed the world that the day she ate that fruit... and now she owed those shinobi too...

First Chapter done and the main plot is revealed. Also Naruto and Kurama won't be alone in this and the main threat will "assumingly" be the Ootsutsuki Clan.

Also, All Pokémon have already been, for the most part, chosen for Naruto's Kanto team. However, feel free to give me ideas on what you'll like to see for Naruto to catch for Kanto or any other regions.

For Parings... I already have a few choices but that will be a bit further down the list. Let's just say that you guys get a cyber cookie for guessing right.

Also for those of you who don't know who Arcades is. She is the unnamed guardian of Arcades from the Pokémon Reburst Manga: which I do not own. Those being said leave a like, review or any advice for the story
