Author's Note: Well, I know it's been a long time, but there's a reason for that. My laptop that I was typing my stories on broke so yeah that sucked. I thought I lost all the files, but I remembered that I had a flash drive with my stories on it. After getting a new laptop after a month, I checked my files on the drive and I saw that the story was there, but it didn't have this chapter. I was pretty pissed about that so I decided to just stop writing all together for a while. After reading a couple of other fanfics, I decided to try to make the chapter, which I succeeded in as you can see, but since it's been a while, don't expect it to be all that great. I'll try to update my stories at least every couple of weeks or so from now on. With that said,
Enjoy!

Chapter 15: Rhydon Rampage and New Traveling Companions!
Naruto and Cynthia threw their pokeballs in the air, releasing the pokemon within.
Both the pokeballs opened up, releasing a red light, and it revealed the pokemon.
The first pokemon was a bipedal, canine-like Pokémon, with fur that is blue and black. It has a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has a long snout, ears, and 4 black small appendages on his head. It has cream-colored fur on its torso, and blue fur on its thighs that resembles shorts. It has a medium length tail of the same blue color as well. It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot.
This pokemon was Lucario, an Aura Pokemon.
The other pokemon that was revealed was a dragon-like pokemon with a red belly as the rest of it's body was black. It also had dark crimson red flame on the end of it's tail that was as big as an average sized human head and strange eyes with a unusual pattern consisting of colors red and black.
This was Charizard, a Flame Pokemon, AKA Madara.
Both pokemon and their respective trainer moved out of the Rhydon's way as he crashed into the wall of the gym, shaking the whole building.
Naruto looked over at Cynthia and her Lucario and, when he saw that they were safe, sighed in relief before looking towards Madara, who was staring intently at the wall where Rhydon crashed into.
Without even activating his pokedex, it let out a sound and gave some information on Lucario.
*BEEP*
Lucario, the Aura Pokemon. By reading the auras of all things, it can tell how others are feeling from over half a mile away. This Lucario is female and is level 42. This pokemon knows the moves Quick Attack, Foresight, Detect, Metal Claw, Dragon Pulse, Counter, Feint, Power Up Punch, Swords Dance, Metal Sound, Bone Rush, Quick Guard, Double Team, Shadow Ball, and Aura Sphere.
Naruto was glad to hear that Cynthia's pokemon was strong and, even though his face didn't show it due to the serious situation, was incredibly impressed with the stats of Lucario.
"With a fighting type on our side, this should be over faster than with just Madara, but with that evil aura surrounding him, I'm not sure if it'll be enough."
Naruto bit his lower lip as he continued to think of the kind of power the evil aura gives.
He was broken out of his thoughts by Rhydon roaring in rage as the evil aura grew bigger around him.
Naruto shook his head and narrowed his eyes in concentration, staring at Rhydon's form.
"Now's not the time to be overthinking things. We'll just have to attack it with all we got and hope for the best."
Naruto glanced at Madara and sent him a message through Aura.
"Madara, I want you to power up as much as you can using Swords Dance while I tell Cynthia what to do. When you are fully charged, I want you to rush towards Rhydon as fast as you can and strike it with your Metal Claw."
Madara gave a brief glance to Naruto and turned back to the enraged Rhydon, nodding his head.
"(Alright, Master.)"
Ignoring how Madara addressed him, Naruto turned to Cynthia, who got up from the ground, and yelled over to her.
"Cynthia," said girl looked towards him, "I need you to have your Lucario to distract Rhydon for a bit and maybe even damage him so when my Charizard reached his maximum limit, he can give the final blow to knock it out."
Cynthia nodded her head with a serious look on her face before turning to Lucario, who was standing to her right.
"You heard him, Lucario. Let's do this."
Lucario gave an affirmative nod and walked a few feet in front of Cynthia, getting into a battle stance.
Rhydon, seeing Lucario get into a battle stance, roared and charged Lucario, with a brown aura mixing with the purple, black, and red aura.
Cynthia widened her eyes in recognition of the attack about to be used, despite it being more sinister, and quickly gave out her orders to Lucario.
"Lucario, use Quick Attack to dodge to the side and as you're right next to him, I want you to use Metal Sound by his ear, followed up with Aura Sphere!"
As Rhydon's body spun like a drill towards Lucario, her body was shrouded in a white aura and quickly did a spin to the right, barely avoiding the dangerous looking Drill Run attack.
Before the Rhydon's body passed her, Lucario quickly brought up both of her forepaws up and, using the spikes on the back of each paw, created an unbearable and horrible sound by Rhydon's ear by colliding the two metal spikes.
The brown aura around Rhydon's body dissipated and feel to the floor, clutching his ears and roaring in pain.
Lucario dropped her left arm and flipped over her right arm so that the spike on the back of her forepaw was facing the ground. The appendages on her head seem to levitate a bit as she charged aura into her forepaw, forming a blue sphere the size of a basketball.
She aimed the attack at Rhydon and launched it from her hand.
The sphere collided with Rhydon's stomach as he skid on the floor.
Both Naruto and Cynthia winced at the damage Rhydon took, but knew that this was the only way to subdue him.
They thought he was down for the count, but were proven wrong when Rhydon got back up, angrier than before.
Rhydon glared at Lucario, who was staring at him in shock, for causing him pain and wanted revenge.
The aura around him shrunk, but it was darker and even seemed denser than before.
Before anyone knew it, Rhydon appeared by Lucario's side, which should be nearly impossible with how big it is, and his horn glowed white, with tints of black in it, as it spun.
Cynthia desperately gave out a command.
"Lucario, use Detect, quick!"
Luckily, her command was in time as Lucario's appendages on her head levitated and was outlined by a blue glow before evading the Horn Drill attack in time.
This didn't deter Rhydon at all.
In fact, he seemed to have been anticipating that kind of move because after his attack was evaded, he used Tail Whip, tripping Lucario, causing her to fall to the ground, and used Stomp.
Lucario, being two times smaller than the Rhydon, was greatly affected by the attack and let out a cry of pain.
Cynthia cried out worriedly,
"LUCARIO!"
Naruto grit his teeth in anger, which was mostly directed at himself for letting this happen to Cynthia's Lucario, and looked over at Madara, hoping to see that he was done charging his attack.
When he saw his partner gripping his claws in anger, he knew that he wasn't ready to attack yet or else it would just be a waste.
Not wanting the rest of his other pokemon get hurt, Naruto decided to handle this by himself.
Cynthia could feel tears ready to fall from her eyes as she watched one of her closest pokemon cry out in agony and not being able to do anything about it as she was too far away to return her pokemon and wouldn't even be able to get close with Rhydon most likely striking her.
Just as she thought all hope was lost, she saw Naruto walk towards Rhydon.
"N-n-naruto?"
Rhydon, finally getting a hit on Lucario and trapping her so she couldn't run away, lifted his foot to finish her.
Naruto, seeing Rhydon lift his feet, stuck out his right hand towards Lucario's down form as his hand was surrounded by a red glow along with his eyes glowing the same color.
Lucario's form was suddenly outlined by the same exact glow of Naruto's eyes and hands.
Before Rhydon's foot could smash Lucario, Naruto yanked his right hand back as if he was pulling on something, which caused Lucario to be sent flying towards him.
Using his Psychic powers, he slowed down Lucario's body so she didn't crash into him harshly, and instead, landed in his arms slowly.
Naruto set her down on the ground carefully as Cynthia ran to her side and placed his left hand on her head.
He used his aura to heal as much damage as he could before pulling his hand away.
Cynthia let tears of joy flow down her face as she hugged her pokemon.
Naruto gave a small smile before he continued to walk towards Rhydon, who just glared daggers at him, with narrowed eyes and a stoic face.
He closed his hands into a fist and they gained a reddish brown aura to them while at the same time, Rhydon's horn glowed white and ran at him at astonishing speeds for a pokemon his size.
Rhydon went to stab Naruto with his horn, but ended up missing as Naruto leaned back.
Naruto, while still leaning back, punched Rhydon directly on his chin with a Mach Punch using his left fist, making Rhydon's head snap back and stumble.
He didn't stop there as he quickly got up and, using the momentum of getting up, punched Rhydon in the middle of his chest, the same place he was struck by Lucario's aura sphere.
This made Rhydon roar in pain again at the damage of the super effective move as he skid across the floor.
Naruto let his right arm drop and walked towards Rhydon, with a bluish maroon aura surround his right fist.
Rhydon got off the floor by pushing himself up with his arms and when he did, glared at Naruto, with his eyes glowing red and black.
Finally understanding that close range combat wouldn't work, Rhydon brought his hands close together and a familiar brown aura, mixed with the evil aura, surrounded his hands before a rock the size of a soccer ball formed in between them.
He roared launching 5 rocks from his hands at deadly speeds.
Naruto just stared at the incoming rocks with a bored look in his narrowed eyes and used aura to easily dodge the rocks.
After dodging the last rock, Naruto was surrounded in a white aura and was next to the Rhydon in an instant.
He brought back his right arm and punched Rhydon in the side with a powerful Force Palm attack.
Rhydon backed up in pain holding his side and grit his teeth in anger when he felt his body unable to move.
Naruto saw the paralysis take affect on Rhydon from the Force Palm attack and looked towards Madara to see if he was ready.
Madara, who was surrounded in a humongous white aura, grinned towards Naruto, who smirked back.
Naruto decided to take this opportunity to weaken Rhydon to the point where Madara's Metal Claw attack will finally knock it out.
Naruto's hands were covered in a greenish maroon aura before he appeared by Rhydon and jumped up, causing said pokemon to follow his movements by moving his head.
Naruto brought his two hands together behind his head and, as he fell, slammed it down on top of Rhydon's head, which also caused the Drain Punch's energy-draining ability to be doubled.
Rhydon couldn't handle the attacks anymore and feel on his left knee.
Naruto quickly jumped back and yelled out,
"NOW!"
Madara's wings turned a dark silver and rushed Rhydon by pushing off the floor, creating a crater.
Madara, once he was above the Drill pokemon, slammed his wings down on Rhydon's back, forcing him to fall on the floor and created a dust cloud.
Naruto and Cynthia, who returned her Lucario so that it wouldn't suffer the pain it gained from Rhydon's stomp attack, watched the dust cloud anxiously.
They didn't have to wait long as the dust cloud was cleared by Madara, who flapped his right wing once.
It revealed Madara standing victoriously over the unconscious form of Rhydon, who finally lost the evil aura.
Both trainers released a sigh of relief and Naruto approached Madara.
Naruto smiled up at Madara, who gave his usual smirk, and patted him on the stomach.
"Great job, Madara. I knew I could always count on you."
Madara brought his head up arrogantly, with his smirk still in place, and let out some fire from his nostrils.
"(Of course you can count on me! I am the strongest after all!)"
Naruto sweat dropped at his reply, which grew even more as he heard the input of his only flying type pokemon on his team.
"(Who ever said you were the strongest, you wanna be dragon?!)"
This made a tic mark appear over Madara's right eyebrow and glared at a specific pokeball on Naruto's belt.
"(I just did! I also have the power to back it up, so ha! Stop trying to act so high and mighty you oversized chicken!)"
"(What did you call me?!)"
"(You heard me!)"
"(Oh, it is on! After all this mess is cleaned up, prepare to fear my wrath!)"
"(Bring it! I'll just burn your ass easily like I have been for the last couple of weeks)"
Naruto just chuckled at the conversation between his pokemon before he grabbed Madara's pokeball from his belt with his left hand.
"Alright, alright, guys. Calm down. You guys can talk about this later. For now, Madara, I'm going to return you and see if Cynthia's okay."
Madara nodded in acceptance and Naruto pressed the button on the poke ball with his thumb, causing a red light to hit Madara, returning him to the pokeball.
Naruto put his pokeball back on the belt and walked to Cynthia, while telling Kushina and Reto mentally that he'll explain later why he didn't use them in the battle.
Cynthia saw Naruto approach her and smiled at him while looking in his eyes, as she was only a few inches shorter than him.
Naruto gave her a small smile as well while his eyes showed some slight concern.
"Are you alight, Cynthia? Did you get hurt in anyway? Also, is Lucario going to be okay?"
Cynthia's smile grew at hearing Naruto's concern for her.
"I'm okay. No, I didn't get too hurt too badly, just a few scrapes and bruised here and there. Lucario will be back to normal once I get her to the Pokemon Center."
Naruto nodded, glad to hear that everything was fine, and it seemed just as they finished their conversation, Officer Jenny with a few other cops and Nurse Joy came in through the door.
The Next Day
After Officer Jenny returned Rhydon to his pokeball and Nurse Joy got some Chansey to carry Brock to the Pokemon Center on a stretcher, Naruto and Cynthia followed the group to the pokemon center to heal their own pokemon and check up on Brock.
A couple hours passed before Brock finally woke up and was told the story of what happened in the gym along with Officer Jenny, who needed to write up a report for this, and Nurse Joy, who wanted to see how bad each pokemon and person were damaged, by Naruto.
Brock, Officer Jenny, and Nurse Joy were incredibly impressed with Naruto's ability to take down Rhydon and were even in awe at his capabilities of using Psychic and Aura.
Officer Jenny shook Naruto's hand in gratitude and Nurse Joy also expressed her gratitude by hugging him, causing said boy to blush a bit in embarrassment.
When it was revealed that Brock didn't have major permanent damage, he was released from the Pokemon Center and was advised by Nurse Joy to not do anything strenuous for a couple days, which he agreed to with hearts in his eyes as he would listen to any pretty girls words.
This made Naruto and Cynthia instantly come up to the conclusion that he was a pervert.
Who knew?
Anyways, after being released, Cynthia asked Brock about her gym battle and he said he would gladly accept the battle after her pokemon were healed, which she was grateful for.
All the pokemon were healed, where Naruto took this time to explain to Kushina and Reto why they weren't used.
Suzumebachi was a given considering her level.
Kushina was a Legendary so he didn't want to reveal her just yet.
Reto, despite having some super effective moves against Rhydon, would have a major disadvantage than Madara, who was a higher level and had a better chance of beating the Drill pokemon faster.
Kushina easily accepted her daddy's explanation and Reto begrudgingly accepted the explanation, causing Madara to gloat.
Going back to Cynthia's gym battle, after receiving her pokemon from the center, she battled with Brock like he promised and beat his Onix and Rhyhorn with her Gible.
Gible was a small, bipedal dragon-like Pokémon that is primarily blue. It has a big mouth filled with sharp teeth, no neck, and arms that start at the outer edges of its jaws. A red underbelly stretches from its abdomen to the bottom of its jaw. It also has two horns that resemble jet or plane engines, each with a light blue stripe in the middle, a single light blue stripe wrapping around its back, and on top of its head is a dorsal fin.
When Naruto, who was watching her battle, saw this, he took out his pokedex and got some information on the pokemon.
*BEEP*
Gible, the Land Shark Pokemon. It nests in small, horizontal holes in cave walls. it pounces to catch prey that stray too close. This Gible is female and knows the moves Tackle, Sand Attack, Dragon Rage, Sandstorm, Take Down, Sand Tomb, Flamethrower, Dig, and Dragon Claw.
They were now standing in front of the gym with Cynthia shaking hands with Brock as Naruto watched from behind Cynthia.
"That was an amazing battle, Cynthia. It was as much fun as battling Naruto and your strategies are really interesting."
Cynthia grinned.
"Thank you, Brock. I also had fun battling with you."
Brock and Cynthia let go of each others hands and Brock approached Naruto, who smiled up at the teen, holding out his hand.
Looking at Brock's hand, Naruto grabbed it with his own right hand and shook hands with him.
"I'm really glad to have met you, Naruto. You are an amazing trainer and that's not because of your abilities. You have amazing strategies that would no doubt stump many people and have strength that will make you go far in this world. I would also like to thank you again for saving my Rhydon. Without you here, no one here would've been able to beat him."
Naruto grinned at the teen.
"I'm also to have met and battled against you, Brock. I can tell that you are a very caring person that would do anything to help any pokemon or person and I respect that in a person. Also, like I said before, don't mention it. I was just doing my duty as a human being and helped as much as I could."
Both of them let go of each others hands and Naruto backed up so that he was standing next to Cynthia.
Brock stared at the two trainers and wondered about something.
"Are you two going to be traveling together to collect badges and compete in the Kanto League?"
Both trainers blinked and turned to one another, staring at each other in the eye.
Both of them thought about how strong the other was and always wanted a rival that could stand up to them.
They smirked at each other before turning to Brock, nodding.
"Yeah, it'll be fun having someone who can actually put up a fight against my pokemon."
"I always wanted to travel Kanto with someone since this is my first time being on Kanto."
Brock smiled sadly at the two as he could see an amazing adventure with these two.
"I wish I was able to go with you guys. I know that with you guys, you're bound to encounter many amazing and mysterious things. I actually wanted to be a breeder, but since my dad left after my mom died, I was forced to be the gym leader and take care of my siblings."
Cynthia and Naruto frowned sadly at Brock for his situation.
Before they could say anything, they heard a shout.
"BROCK!"
They all turned to the direction of where the setting sun was and saw the silhouette of a figure, which was revealed to be Flint, who Naruto first met when he got to Pewter City, when the sun finally set.
Brock's eyes widened and he could only whisper,
"Dad."
Flint approached the group and explained the situation to them of why he left. He also explained how he heard that Brock got hurt and felt terrible for hurting him unintentionally, as he said that if he didn't leave then that would've never happened.
Flint ended his speech by telling Brock to go with Cynthia and Naruto to follow his dreams as a Breeder.
Brock felt so happy to finally pursue his dream that he hugged his father and thanking him while on the sidelines, both blondes watched with a smile.
After giving his father a list of instructions, Brock followed Cynthia and Naruto with a backpack and a huge smile on his face as they left Pewter City.
