"Flashbacks"

I've always been a fan of pokémon but never really been inspired to write a story about them until I read Mr. Chaos Harry Potter crossover. This story is based on a similar idea with his permission.

I also want to say I am not Japanese nor do I speak the language so at points I may improperly use something or mistake a name for what it is not. I simply go to google and found a translator for the pokémon names.

Please Read and Review!

Sunlight filtered through the trees covering the village of Konohagakure as villagers started to spill into the streets on their way to work. However in a large house just outside the main part of the village a figure slowly made their way towards one of the closed doors. Taking small careful steps the figure reached the door and slowly turned the handle, giving the door a light push to open it. The old wood creaked and the figure froze thinking they had been heard, holding their breath in fear the figure waited to be discovered. The figure released the breath when they heard the gentle snoring of the rooms occupant, careful moving around all of the scattered clothes, books and toys the figure made their way to the bed. The only visible sign of the occupant was spikey blonde hair coming out from the covers; the figure took a large breath when it got to the bed.

"WAKE UP ONII-CHAN!"

"GAAAH!"

Mito Namikaze giggled as she watched her brother Naruto roll off the opposite side of the bed from her. The eight year old girl had dark red hair like her mother and wore matching pink pajamas with Jigglypuffs on them. "Everyone is down stairs and Kaa-san said you need to get up so you can help setup for the party."

Naruto Namikaze rose up from the ground and glared at his little sister over the bed. The sixteen year old was shirtless and wearing only a pair of boxers. "You are so dead Mito." The little girl laughed loudly as she ran out of the room as fast as she could, Naruto sighed and stood up from the floor. He let out a yawn as he started rummaging around his room for clothes, after a few minutes of searching he found a plain black shirt and blue sweats.

Walking down the stairs Naruto heard voices and light laughter from the kitchen. Walking around the corner Naruto smiled when he saw his whole family sitting at the table, a few pokémon roamed around the kitchen as well.

At the stove was his mother, Kushina Namikaze, a top coordinator and winner of several Grand Festivals. Kushina was known for being one of the few people who had raised every evolution of Eevee, the Evolution pokémon. Naruto knew she was not just a top coordinator but was very skilled in battle as well, her pokémon were especially dangerous when working together. She had a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, fiery red hair — a common trait among the members of the Uzumaki family— with strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left, keeping it out of her eyes. She generally wore the same outfit consisting of a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting green dress.

His father, Minato Namikaze, sat at the table talking to Naruto's Grandfather Jiraiya Namikaze. Minato was the Champion of the Elemental Region, where they lived, and specialized in not only Dragon type pokémon but ones that were all faster than others of their breed. People dubbed him Konoha's Flash Trainer because of that and Naruto had to admit his father's pokémon were extremely fast. Like Naruto his father had Blue eyes and spikey blonde hair, though his was longer than his sons and had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. Fair-skinned like his mother Minato was in a dark blue long sleeved shirt and black pants, his white short sleeved jacket hung off the back of his chair.

Jiraiya Namikaze chuckled at something his son said and was ideally petting his Toxicroak, which was eating food under the table. Jiraiya was one of the Elite Four of the region that specialized in Poison type pokémon, Naruto found it hilarious the man's son was technically his boss. He was a tall man with waist-length, spiky white hair usually tied back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran down from his eyes. Jiraiya wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he wore mesh shirt that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit.

"Well look who's finally up." Everyone turned to see Naruto walking into the kitchen as his Grandmother Tsunade spoke. She was a light-skinned woman of average height with brown eyes and straight, blonde hair. Her hair is waist-length with shoulder-length bangs framing both sides of her face and the rest pulled back into two ponytails. She wore a grass-green haori with the kanji for gamble written in black on the back, inside a red circle. Underneath she wears a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matches her pants. Tsunade was the best medical professional in the Elemental Region, possibly the world, as she knew how to care for both humans and pokémon.

"Don't let him get me Baa-chan." Mito whispered loudly as she climbed into Tsunade's lap. The blonde woman chuckled.

"Just you wait little one." Naruto said as he took a seat at the table. "Baa-chan won't always be there to protect you." Mito stuck out her tongue at her brother and everyone chuckled.

"How did you sleep sweetie?" Kushina asked as she brought him a plate of food.

"Fine Kaa-san." Naruto said before digging into the warm meal.

"Ready for the party today?" Jiraiya asked as he ruffled Naruto's hair. "I remember the day me and Tsu-chan got our first pokémon." The older man looked down at his Toxicroak.

"Croak!" The frog like pokémon said cheerfully then went back to its food.

"I want a pokémon." Mito said with a pout, Tsunade combed the girls hair.

"Now now Mito-chan, you know you can't get a pokémon until your sixteen like Naruto-kun." Tsunade informed the young girl, unlike many of the other regions the Elemental Region had different rules for when children could go off on their own.

"You can play with mine and Kaa-san's as much as you want until then." Minato said as he reached to is belt and unclipped a poké ball. "Why don't you go get changed and then go outside to play with Hydreigon." Mito smiled and leapt off of Tsunade, grabbing the poké ball before running up to her room.

"She's going to be more of a handful after Naruto leaves." Kushina said with a sigh as she sat down at the table.

"Should have taken my advice." Naruto said between bites of his breakfast.

Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a confused look. "What advice was that?" Jiraiya asked.

"He suggested we get a Ditto to transform into him to keep Mito in line." Minato replied with a grin on his face, he was tempted to go out a find a Ditto right after Naruto said the idea but Kushina stopped him. Jiraiya and Tsunade laughed together while the older man ruffled Naruto's hair.

"So what's the plan for the day Naruto?" Jiraiya asked casually as he stole a piece of bacon.

"He's going to help his Parents clean the house and get everything ready for this afternoon." Kushina cut in before the boy could speak.

"Yea that's what I'm going to do." Naruto responded in a defeated voice. "Why do we have to have the Party here?"

"One, while the clans have large compounds they don't have the space we do." Minato began. "Two most of the clans don't want a bunch of people loitering around there houses, especially when said people also breed pokémon and might look for secrets."

"Would they really do that though?" Naruto asked curiously, his friends were mostly the children of clan leaders and he had met all their parents. To him they seemed like good people that wouldn't do something like that to fellow villagers.

Minato let out a sigh and scratched his head. "The clan leaders probably not but a member might sneak in while the party's going on and do it. Then they could use the secrets to improve their pokémon and get in the clans good graces." He had seen it happen before and not just in Konoha, as the Regional Champion he dealt with such issues.

"And since we don't have such things I offered our home for the party." Kushina said as she finished her food. "Now we have a lot to do and I want to have enough time to shower before everyone starts to arrive so let's get to work."

"And that's my queue to disappear." Jiraiya chuckled out as he rose from his chair. "I'll be back later, come on Hikigaeru."

"Croak cro." They frog like pokémon chirped as it hopped after Jiraiya.

"Don't you dare forget "it" Jiraiya." Tsunade called out after he husband, Naruto raised an eyebrow at her emphases on it.

Jiraiya turned around and placed his hand over his heart. "Tsu-chan how could you possible think I would?" He replied dramatically.

"Forget and Funsai-ki will be using you as a doormat." Tsunade threatened making Jiraiya go pale, he had seen Tsunade's Torterra destroy rocks with ease.

"R-r-r-right." Jiraiya stuttered out, taking a big gulp he ran out the door, Toxicroak following suit.

"What's "it" Baa-chan?" Naruto asked his grandmother curiously, the woman gave him a smile and patted his cheek.

"Well I'll be off to; I need to check on some patients before the party." Tsunade said as she hopped up, leaving a confused Naruto.

"Wait what's "it"? Baa-chan? Baa-chan!" Naruto jumped off his chair and followed after his Grandmother while Minato and Kushina chuckled at their son, they knew Naruto hated secrets.

"So what did they get him?" Kushina asked quietly as she started to clear the table.

"No idea." Minato replied as he began to help his wife. "They won't say but told me Naruto will love him."

Kushina puffed her cheeks in mock anger, like Naruto she didn't like secrets and the fact Tsunade and Jiraiya wouldn't tell them what pokémon they were giving Naruto as his starter didn't sit well with her. "And you couldn't get it out of your Father?"

"How exactly would I do that?" Minato asked with humor in his voice. "They only way would be to get him drunk and no one but Kaa-san can out drink him. I would have been passed out on the floor before he was even close to talking." Kushina chuckled a bit before she let out a sigh.

"True, still wish I knew." The redhead said as she placed the dishes in the sink. "What did you want to get him before Jiraiya asked if they could?"

"Well Kingu had some children so I was thinking a Horsea, that way he has a water and eventually a dragon type." Minato replied as he turned on the sink, ignoring Kushina's chuckle.

"It still gets me you named a Horsea Kingu and didn't know it was a girl." Minato blushed at his wife's laughter, he was still embarrassed by the fact and wanted to change the name but the Horsea had grown attached to it by the time he realized his mistake. "But that was a sweet idea." She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek, she started on the dishes as Minato went to check on Mito before they started getting ready for the party.

The Namikaze home was full of activity as the last of the guest arrived; tables were spread out in the backyard around the large pool Minato had built for training and enjoyment. Some of the teens were swimming while the parents all stood around talking about the latest gossip and news. "Kushina!" The redheaded woman turned to see her best friend, Mikoto Uchiha, walking toward her with her son Sasuke in tow.

"Miko-chan." Kushina cheered as she pulled her friend into a hug. "I almost thought you weren't coming." She replied with a pout.

"Yes well while Fugaku may not like Minato he should know I'm not letting Sasuke miss this." Mikoto replied with a smug look, Kushina chuckled and nodded. She knew Fugaku didn't like Minato simply because he had beaten Fugaku in the league championship, when they were teens, in the second round.

"How are you Sasuke? Excited to start your journey?" Kushina asked the young teen.

"Yes ma'am." Sasuke replied emotionlessly, he had no problem with Kushina but wasn't one for conversation.

"Well go join your friends, Ino and Sakura are in the pool." Kushina replied with a grin and suppressed a chuckle as Sasuke went pale. Everyone in Konoha knew about the girls crush on the young Uchiha and no matter what Sasuke did he could get them to leave him alone.

"Thank you." Sasuke grumbled out and took a deep breath before he headed towards the others.

Mikoto sighed as he walked away. "Even though I've done this before it doesn't get any easier." The raven haired woman turned to her friend. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm nervous and sad but I know he'll be fine." Kushina admitted as she looked over at Naruto. "I'm going to miss him so much."

"I sat in Itachi's room every night for a month after he left." Mikoto said as she rubbed her friends back for comfort. "Plus you have Mito so it won't be that bad."

"Right." Kushina replied softly. "Come on lets go talk with everyone else." Kushina took Mikoto by the hand and led her over to the other adults.

"Hey Sasuke." Naruto said as he saw the Uchiha walking over. "Didn't think you would make it on the count of your dad holding a grudge."

"Kaa-san changed his mind." Sasuke replied with a smirk, he loved his father but sometimes the man was stubborn. Sasuke wouldn't admit he was a lot like his father though. "Shikamaru, Choji." Sasuke said with a nod to the other boys.

"Hey *munch* Sasuke." Choji replied through as he devoured a bag of chips.

"Sasuke." Shikamaru said without looking up from his Shogi board as he thought out his next move against Naruto.

"So you still think you're getting a Charmander?" Naruto asked curiously, like most of the clans they received a pokémon that was breed by the clan. Sasuke's family breed mostly fire types with Charmander being the most popular to give as starters.

"I'm almost positive, I checked the breeding charts and they are the only ones young enough to give me." Sasuke said as he sat down at the table. "I've been studying our books on them and will have mine full evolved in no time." The Uchiha said with a smirk.

"Sure sure." Naruto replied with a wave of his hand, Sasuke always tried to rile him up but it only worked occasionally as they had different goals in life and Naruto didn't see them as rivals. "Of course you will because I won't have advanced knowledge like some people." Sasuke narrowed his eyes at Naruto and mental counted that as a win for Naruto.

"What do you think you'll get Naruto?" Shikamaru asked as he took one of Naruto's pieces.

"Not sure since my family doesn't breed anything but Tou-san was talking about Kingu being pregnant so I might get a Horsea." Naruto shrugged out as he studied the board.

"SASUKE-KUN!" The Uchiha's eyes went wide when he heard the voices and he tried to get up and run but was caught from both sides by Ino and Sakura. Both girls were dripping wet and Sasuke scowled as his shirt started getting wet.

"I'm glad you made it Sasuke-kun." Ino said with a big smile as she squeezed the boys arm.

"Not as glad as I am." Sakura said from his other side, copying Ino's actions. Naruto, Shikamaru and Choji all chuckled as they watched Sasuke's scowl deepened.

"Hello Sasuke-kun." Hinata Hyuga said quietly as she, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame all came over to the table.

"Hinata." Sasuke said with a nod to the girl, she was one of the only girls their age he liked because she showed no interest in him. "Shino, dog-breath."

"Duck butt." Kiba replied automatically as he sat down near Naruto. "So what were you guys talking about?"

"What starters we might be getting." Shikamaru said as he again took a piece of Naruto's, making the blonde groan. "Sasuke is pretty sure he'll get a Charmander, Naruto might get a Horsea."

"Did Kingu have her babies?" Ino asked with a smile, besides wanting to be a breeder like her family she wanted to study medicine like Tsunade. She was her unofficial apprentice until she got some experience on her journey.

"I think so; Tou-san didn't say which makes me think that's what I'm getting." Naruto replied as he concentrated more on the board, trying to beat Shikamaru.

"I'm not sure what I'll get." Ino said in reply. "We've had a lot of babies in the past few months so it could be any Psychic type we breed." She finished with a sigh.

"I don't have any idea either." Sakura said from Sasuke's side, her family operated the Poke Mart in the village and her parents didn't have pokémon so she was clueless.

"I'm getting a Poochyena." Kiba said with a grin. "Kaa-san and Onee-chan had me help with some new pups and one kind of bonded with me."

"I believe I will get a Nincada as my parents know I wish to get a Shedinja." Shino replied in his monotone voice. Ino and Sakura shivered at the thought of bug pokémon.

"What about you Choji?" Naruto asked as he looked up from the board, already giving up in defeat.

"Not sure either." The large teen said between mouthfuls of chips. "Probably a Munchlax or Phanpy." Choji's family breeds pokémon that were larger and eat a lot of food because they were Poke food gourmets, specializing in making food for each breed not just generic food.

"I don't know either." Hinata said quietly from her seat. "I think I convinced Tou-san but I'm not sure." The others nodded in understanding, the Hyuga's specialized in fighting types but Hinata wasn't interested in them. She had recently found an article talking about the new Fairy type pokémon and when she saw the list of them decided to talk to her father about becoming a Fairy type breeder since the Elemental Region didn't have one.

"If you made a logical argument I'm sure he will agree." Shino told Hinata from his spot across from her.

"Ya it'll be fine Hinata-chan." Kiba said with a big grin.

The others all nodded along and Hinata gave a small smile. "Thank you." She said quietly.

"Oni-chan!" Naruto turned around to see his little sister pulling another young girl towards him. "Hanabi-chan doesn't know about the Poke Sage and thinks I'm lying to her." Mito finished with a pout.

"I see." Naruto said with a chuckle as he looked over at Hinata's little sister and Mito's best friend. "What did Mito say because she might have embellished a bit."

Hanabi took a seat next to her sister and let out a huff of embarrassment as everyone looked at her. "She said the Poke Sage brought pokémon to the Elemental Region and that his nine strongest pokémon still live to this day, roaming the lands."

"Well she's not wrong about the first part." Shikamaru said through a yawn. "Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki somehow made it through the rocky waters surrounding the Elemental Region and landed in Shinnoh Region. After Traveling he returned with dozens of pokémon and breed them." Shikamaru let out another yawn. "As for his nine strongest that's something a lot of people argue about to this day."

"Oni-chan saw one though." Mito cut in quickly; Naruto chuckled as his sister defended him. It was true to, well when he was younger and playing in the forest outside the village he saw a large Ninetail's walking through the trees. His Grandfather says it was Kurama, the strongest of all the Legendary Nine pokémon. "And one day he's going to beat it, right Oni-chan?"

Naruto chuckled again and ruffled her hair. "That's right Mito-chan." Hanabi scoffed, drawing his attention.

"If it's so old and powerful how do you think you'll defeat it?" The young girl asked, thought Naruto could hear the curiosity in her voice.

Naruto grinned and wiggled his finger for Hanabi to lean in closer, when she did he whispered to her. "That's a secret." The others laughed as Hanabi growled and hopped up from the table and stormed off. Mito quickly followed after her, giggling all the way.

"So you still think you can do it?" Kiba asked with a grin, ever since Naruto saw the fox pokémon he had been saying he would track it down and defeat it.

Naruto acted hurt by the question. "You doubt my awesomeness and training skills Kiba?"

"Yes." Everyone said together before they all broke out in laughter, even Sasuke smiled. While they all did better in the academy then him Naruto was by far the best Trainer in a fight, using pokémon he didn't even bond with he could beat all of them. That was one of the reasons Sasuke saw him as his rival.

"What else are you going to do though?" Ino asked curiously, she was always one for gossip and Naruto was the only one who hadn't shared his plans with her. "I mean all of use except Sakura will become breeders and she wants to be a coordinator like your mother." Sakura nodded along with Ino, ever since she saw Kushina at one of the Contest she wanted to be like her. She constantly asked the woman for advice even though she wasn't competing yet; luckily Kushina liked her and was happy to give her advice.

"I'm going to train to not only beat Kurama but also Tou-san and become the Champion." Naruto responded with a grin.

"So what type are you going to specialize in?" Shino asked curiously, the others all nodded except Sasuke and Shikamaru as both knew the answer.

"All." Naruto said with a grin. "It's very rare for someone to have multiple types because of the difficulty in raising them all but it's been done by a couple champions from the other regions." Naruto's grin increased. "I'll be the first to do it in the Elemental Region."

"That's going to be really hard to do, you need to take into account weakness's, strengths, environment and more." Sakura said sagely as she thought back to everything they learned about raising pokémon in school.

"I'll be fine." Naruto said with a wave of his hand. "I've been reading up and making notes about this for around two years now." Everyone looked surprised at the amount of work Naruto put into something.

They then all began talking about their plans and what other pokémon they planned to try and catch. Soon Kushina called them all over to where the adults were all gathering; four tables were setup with seats on one side and boxes in front of each one with name cards. Each of the teens sat down at their box as Tsunade moved in front of them.

"Alright listen up." The blonde doctor said to gain their attention. "You all have passed you final tests and as of now have received your Trainers license." She paused to let the parents give a small applause, and Mito to cheer for Naruto. "Now open your box, inside each is a pokédex and six poké balls. The pokédex has been updated with all the latest pokémon stats and has your information stored on it." Tsunade then narrowed her eyes at them. "If you lose it you will not get a replacement and Funsai-ki will punish you." A light appeared behind Tsunade and took the shape of a large green and brown turtle like pokémon, a large tree grew from the top of its shell and moss covered parts of it.

"Torrrrrrr!" The pokémon yelled loudly, causing the ground to vibrate slightly and making the teens go pale. Tsunade smirked and pulled out her poké ball to return her Torterra.

"Good boy." She whispered to the poké ball. "Now I'm not going to give you some long speech about safety and all that because you'll hear it from your parents." Everyone chuckled. "You're all smart kids and I trust I won't be seeing any of you in the hospital anytime soon." She narrowed her eyes at Naruto as she finished and the blonde teen understood the message.

"Now for the part everyone's been waiting for." Kushina called out from the crowd behind Tsunade. "Now I believe it should be the girls first." Kushina turned and looked to Sakura, Ino and Hinata's parents. "Who wants to go first?"

"ME!" Ino and Sakura both cried out as they leapt from their seats and rushed to their parents, Hinata followed slowly behind and Naruto could tell she was nervous as she approached her father.

"Here you go Ino-chan." Inoichi Yamanaka said as he tossed a pink and white poké ball to his daughter.

"A Heal ball, sweet." Ino said with a smile as she grabs the ball in the air before tossing it to the ground in front of her. "Come on out!" Tossing the ball Ino was full of excitement to see what she got. The light died to show a small black and white pokémon with a purple head.

"Goth?" Ino broke out into a squeal as she looked down at her pokémon.

"Yes a Gothita!" The little pokémon flinch back at the sudden excitement and Ino quickly calmed down. "Oh I'm sorry I was just so excited." She knelt down and held out her hand to the Gothita. "I'm Ino."

"Ita?" The Little pokémon walked to her hand and poked it, then grasp it and shook. "Gothita."

"Oh you are so cute." Ino said again and pulled the psychic pokémon into a hug. "Thanks Kaa-san, Tou-san." Ino said as she ran to her parents and did her best to hug them without crushing her new partner.

"You're welcome Ino-chan." They both replied, they all turned when they heard laughter and saw Sakura on the ground trying to hold back a small brown pokémon.

"Vee!" It barked happily as it continued its assault on the girl; Sakura's father was holding his stomach from laughing.

"I told you she was an affectionate little thing." He said to his wife, who was giggling at the scene.

"I can't believe you got me an Eevee, thank you." Sakura said as she finally got a hold of the small pokémon.

"Well there's someone else you should thank to." Mebuki Haruno said as she nodded her head to the side, Sakura tuned to see Kushina give her a small wave and a smile.

"Really? Is this from one of yours?" Sakura asked wide eyed.

"Sadly no but a good friend from my traveling days breeds them and I called in a favor." Kushina said as she moved to Sakura and scratched behind the Eevee's ears, making the pokémon start to purr. "I know how much you liked Eevee and when your parents asked if I could help out I couldn't say no."

"Thank you so much Kushina-sama." Sakura said with a large smile. "I promise I'll take good care of her."

Kushina nodded and gave the pinkette a grin. "I know you will."

Hinata moved slowly to her father, he had stood off to the side of the other adults. It wasn't that he didn't like them Hinata knew but more he wasn't the kind of man who liked big gatherings. "Hinata."

"Father." She said quietly, she gulped as he pulled out a Heal ball like Ino had received.

"I thought about what you said and this is the decision I made." Hinata nodded to her father and slowly took the ball. She took a deep breath and tossed it just beside them.

"Ralts?" Hinata's eyes went wide when she saw the small white and green pokémon.

"After doing some research I found this pokémon is able to become a Psychic/Fighting type so I will allow you to pursue breeding Fairy type as long as you breed Ralts for both our family and the Yamanaka's." Hiashi informed her, Hinata was at a loss for words as the small pokémon pulled on her pants leg to get her attention.

Inoichi watched for across the yard with a smile on his face as Hinata picked up her pokémon. His family had enough pokémon to take care of and never planned to start with the Feeling pokémon but was surprised when Hiashi approached him with his idea. Inoichi could tell the man was just making it seem like a business venture but really just wanted to make his daughter happy, that was just the only way he knew how. "Alright Ino-chan why don't we let the boys meet their partners now." Ino nodded and picked up her pokémon and turned to watch as all the boys walked over to their parents.

"Finally, geez." Kiba called out as he approached his mother, Tsume Inuzuka smirked and tossed the pokéball on the ground. The light faded and a grey blur launched itself into Kiba's stomach, knocking the boy onto his back.

"Pooch." The small Poochyena said as it stood on Kiba's chest, its tail wagging happily.

"You got a hard head buddy." Kiba commented as he scratched the pokémon behind its ear getting a happy purr.

"Of course he does." Kiba looked up to see his sister Hana standing over him, her Houndoom triplets behind her. "They say a pokémon is very similar to its owner."

"Which explains why all yours are female." Kiba thought to himself as he stood up and walked over to his mother.

Hana narrowed her eyes at her retreating brother. "I may not be psychic but I know what you're thinking, will talk about it tonight." Kiba gulped as he arrived at his mother.

"Surprise." She said sarcastically as she scratched Kiba's new pokémon. "But seriously I expect you to take good care of him."

"I will Kaa-san don't worry." Kiba rolled his eyes as he spoke and then turned to see what the others got.

Shikamaru and Choji arrived at their parents together and both fathers handed them their pokéballs. "We hope you like them." Chōza Akimichi said with a big smile to his son and Shikamaru. Both boys nodded and turned around.

"On three?" Shikamaru asked Choji, the large boy giving him a nod. "One, two,…three." Both tossed their pokéballs and watched as the glowing lights took shape.

"Sla?" A small tan pokémon with two dark brown stripes on its back said. "Slakoth" it said with a yawn as it closed its eyes.

"Munch?" A hairy blue pokémon said as it looked around, it's eyes going wide when it saw the buffet table. "Munchlax!" It cried and ran to the table and began to eat, causing the others to chuckle.

"Really a Slakoth?" Shikamaru said with a glare to his parents. "That's a cheap shot Kaa-san." Shikamaru's mother just grinned and shrugged.

"I thought you would be happy with a pokémon who sleeps as much as you do." Shikamaru muttered a troublesome under his breath as he laid down next to the slacker pokémon.

"Thank you." Shikamaru said with a smile, his parents nodded in return. "I think that Munchlax eats as much as Choji." Turning the Nara's all say Choji, his Munchlax and Choza all pigging out on the free food.

Shino moved over to his parents, both wore high coats like him and sunglasses and you could only tell the difference in them because his father had spikey black hair. "Tou-san, Kaa-san." Shino said with a small nod.

"Shino-kun." His mother said as she handed him a Net Ball, Shino took it and unleashed the pokémon in side.

"Nincada." The white bug pokémon said as it began to examine it's surroundings. "Ninca?"

"Thank you Tou-san, Kaa-san." Shino said with a slight twitch of his lips, the closest thing to public affection he had ever shown.

Sasuke and Naruto walked over to where their mothers were standing, Mito bouncing on her feet beside Kushina. "Of course our boys have to be last." Mikoto said with a dramatic sigh.

"Save the best for last Kaa-san." Sasuke said with a slight smirk, his mother couldn't help but smile as she pulled out an almost black pokéball. "A Luxury ball?" Sasuke said surprised, they were the most expensive ball to buy and while he knew his family had money he was surprised it was used for a starter.

"Your father did it before I convinced him to allow us to come to the party, as an apology." Mikoto informed Sasuke, though the way she said convinced had the Namikaze's chuckling. Sasuke nodded and took the ball, tossing it to the side to reveal his pokémon.

"Char!" The red lizard pokémon called out as it looked around. "Mander." Sasuke smirked as he walked over to the Charmander and held out his hand. The lizard pokémon gave him a few sniffs the moved towards him so Sasuke was petting it. "Char char."

"I see you've been reading the family books." Mikoto said with a grin, Sasuke gave her a small nod then turned to Naruto.

"So dobe what did you get?" Naruto twitched at the nickname from their youth when he didn't study but held his tongue as he looked to this mother.

Kushina cleared her throat and turned to Minato, who mimicked her and turned to Tsunade whose eye was twitching in anger. "I'll kill him." She said heatedly before she turned stomping out of the backyard and into the house.

"So "it" was my pokémon huh?" Naruto asked while Minato and Kushina nodded their heads, the blonde teen let out a sigh. "I really shouldn't be surprised by this."

"Jiji's dead isn't he Tou-san?" Mito asked as she pulled on her father's pant leg to get his attention. Minato sighed and picked her up.

"Afraid so princess." Mito let out a sigh at her father's words. "Sorry about this Naruto, I should have expected it."

"It's fine." Naruto said with a shrug, though he was slightly disappointed. "What is it or what was it supposed to be?"

"No idea." Kushina answered as she ran her hands through Naruto's hair. "Your grandparents decided to keep it a secret from us, knew we shouldn't have left it to that pervert." Kushina glared at Minato as she finished.

"Don't look at me you told them both it was okay." Minato quickly said, he didn't want to be caught in his father's punishment.

"TORTERRA!" Everyone turned when they heard the large grass pokémon's roar.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" suddenly a red and white blur flew over the house and right into the pool. Everyone crowded around to see what it was when Jiraiya surfaced, gasping for air. "What the hell, I'm barely late and she gets all pissed at me?"

"Well seeing as your Grandson is the only one without a pokémon I'd say she had a right to be." Minato said evenly to his father, Jiraiya actually looked surprised and looked around to see all the other teens had their pokémon out.

"Oh." Jiraiya said as he paddled to the edge of the pool and climbed out. "Well sorry than Naruto." The blonde teen helped his grandfather out of the pool and gave a shrug.

"Well I was kind of upset but Baa-chan's revenge made it okay." Jiraiya chuckled and pulled off his coat.

"I should have done worse." Tsunade called as she appeared out of the backdoor, Jiraiya's Toxicroak hopping behind her. "But seeing as you were just taking your time and not peeping at the hot springs I'll let you slide."

"That was letting me slide?" Jiraiya asked as he pointed to the house. "You had me thrown over the house, front gate and half way down the walkway."

"Funsai-ki threw you into the pool." Tsunade said as she moved a stray hair out of her face.

"But did you have him aim for the pool?" Jiraiya asked with narrowed eyes.

"So give him to Naruto." Tsunade said, ignoring Jiraiya's question. Jiraiya sighed and pulled out a Pokéball, tossing it to Naruto.

Naruto took a breath to calm his nerves; this was the moment he had been preparing for since he knew what a trainer was. "Come on out." Naruto tossed the ball in front of him.

"Froakie?" Naruto smiled when he saw the small frog like pokémon looking up at him.

"A Froakie?" Kushina said as she examined the pokémon. "That's a pretty good choice; it's a starter for the Kalos Region." Minato nodded in agreement.

"You remembered?" Naruto said with a smile as he turned around to see Tsunade and Jiraiya grinning at him.

"Remembered what?" Minato asked as he turned to his parents.

"Well when Naruto was five…" Tsunade started to tell the story of why they chose this pokémon.

"You'll never catch me Hikigaeru!" A five year old Naruto yelled as he ran through the trees in the park.

"Toxi!" Jiraiya's Toxicroak called out as it hopped after the little boy. Jiraiya and Tsunade chuckled as they slowly followed after their grandson.

"He has far too much energy." Tsunade said with a tired sigh, they had been watching Naruto while his parents were taking a small vacation and he was wearing them out.

"Definitely takes after his mother, Minato-kun was never this energetic." Jiraiya said with a chuckle, Tsunade joining him. Suddenly they heard a splash followed by multiple splashes.

"Baa-chan!" Tsunade and Jiraiya both grew worried and sprinted through the trees towards Naruto's voice. They stopped short and suddenly broke into laughter at the sight before them.

"Look Baa-chan I caught a pokémon!" Naruto called out proudly, he was drenched and standing in a foot of water holding a squirming Froakie in his arms.

"He was so sad he had to let it go but Jiraiya-kun and I have been planning this since that day." Tsunade said with a smile.

"How did I not get a picture of this?" Kushina asked with wide eyes, she was a little upset she hadn't heard this story before.

"Hey Froakie." Naruto said as he dropped to the ground, the little frog pokémon watching him curiously. "How would you like to travel around and grow strong with me?"

"Froakie!" It chirped as it jumped into his lap. "Fro!"

"Alright." Naruto said with a grin as he held the pokémon up into the air. "Together were going to become the strongest ever."

"Kie!" Froakie called out as it raised its arm in the air.

"Will see about that Naruto." Sasuke said from beside him.

"Ya." Kiba called out as he walked over, his Poochyena at his side.

"I'll take you guys on anytime." Naruto replied as he hopped to his feet.

"Not in my backyard you won't." Kushina said with a glare at the three boys, she already had to clean up after the party and there was no way she was re sodding a yard after an amateur pokémon battle.

"I think it's getting late and we should call it a night." Minato announced to everyone. "After all these kids have a long day ahead of them." Getting agreements all around everyone helped pick up a little before saying their goodbyes and heading home.

"Froak?" Naruto's Froakie said from Mito's lap as it tried to examine the bag Naruto was packing.

"Don't forget these Onii-chan." Mito said as she held up Naruto's bright orange earbuds for his music player, Mito had gotten them for his last birthday.

"Of course I won't Mito-chan." Naruto said as he took them and ruffled the girls hair.

"All packed?" Naruto spun around to see his father and mother walking into the room.

"Mostly, need to pack some food for Froakie." Naruto replied with a nod to the pokémon.

"Fro froak!" The little blue pokémon said with a nod making everyone chuckle.

"Knock knock!" A voice called out from down stairs the family recognized.

"Up here Kakashi." Minato called out to his old student.

Walking up the stairs was a man in his late twenties, he wore a green vest over a long sleeved black shirt. He had tall gravity defying silver hair and a headband covering one of his eyes and a blue face mask covering his nose and mouth. Naruto noticed a Jolteon was walking in behind him. "Evening Sensei, Kushina-sama, Naruto-kun, Mito-chan." Kakashi said cheerfully.

"Jolt!" The yellow electric pokémon called out.

"I hope the party went well?" Kakashi asked and then spotted Froakie. "Oh a Froakie, an excellent choice for a starter Sensei."

"Actually Tou-san picked it out." Minato informed his student. "What's up Kakashi?"

"Hmmm can't I stop by and give my little brother a parting gift?" Kakashi asked dramatically, though he wasn't related he saw them all as family as his had all died when he was young. Naruto grinned and appeared right in front of Kakashi.

"What is it?" Kakashi chuckled and pulled his backpack off his shoulder and opened it, pulling out a plain medium sized box. Naruto took it and carefully opened it, gasping when he saw the contents.

"I figured your parents would get the basics but I thought you might like a few extra things." Kakashi said as everyone tried to look into the box. "First I special ordered you a badge case, I know orange is your favorite color." Kakashi took the box and placed it on the table and pulled out the bright orange badge case, handing it to Naruto. "Next I got you two Heal, Luxury, Great and Ultra balls." Pulling out a smaller box Kakashi handed it to Naruto and the blonde saw it held each of the different balls. "And finally a collapsible fishing rod and some bait." Naruto grinned as he received the last gift, placing it all down he pulled Kakashi into a hug.

"Thanks Onii-chan." Naruto said quietly to the man, earning a chuckle from Kakashi.

"Can't have you out their unprepared can we?" Kakashi asked as he shot Minato a wink.

"These were very thoughtful Kakashi." Kushina said as she placed the gifts into Naruto's bag.

"Well Naruto what is your plan for tomorrow?" Kakashi asked as he took a seat in the chair at Naruto's desk.

"Well I want to head to Grass country first, I hope to grab a fire type before I leave and train it and Froakie there while also catching a grass type. Then I'll head to Iwa for the Mountain Badge." Naruto informed them as he plopped onto the bed and took Froakie from his sister.

"Smart plan." Minato said with a nod. "Training Froakie against grass types first will boost his power better than just fighting fire types."

"And having a grass and fire type early on will help you out later on." Kakashi chimed in.

"That's what I thought, I'll also pick up a rock type while I'm there then head to Suna. Since Froakie and whatever grass type I get will be battle experienced and type advantage against ground types."

"Seems you have this well thought out." Minato said with a smile, proud his son wasn't just going with his gut.

"Do you plan to hit up the Safari zone in Kusa?" Kushina asked curiously. "They finished it last year and I hear it's good to get all kinds of pokémon types."

"I didn't plan on it but I'll look into it Kaa-san thanks." Naruto said with a smile and made a mental note to check out the Safari zone.

"Well it's getting late and it seems Naruto has everything in order." Kakashi said as he stood and ruffled Naruto's hair. "I'll miss you Naruto, don't forget to call every once and awhile."

"I won't." Naruto said with a nod to Kakashi, who returned it and headed for the door.

"Come on Mito-chan, time for bed." Kushina said as she scooped up her daughter.

"But I want to stay up with Onii-chan and I'm not tired." Mito whined though she yawned a bit at the end. Kushina ignored her plea and took her out the door leaving Naruto and Minato alone.

"Sochi." Minato said drawing Naruto's attention. "I want you to be careful on your journey, I know you've heard me and your grandfather talking so you know it can be dangerous out there."

"I will Tou-san." Naruto said with a firm nod. "Plus Froakie will keep me safe right buddy?"

"Froakie!" The frog pokémon said happily looking up at Naruto, Minato chuckled and nodded his head.

"So are you going to give him a name?" Minato asked, while not everyone named all their pokémon usually they named their first or ones they knew would be a part of their main team for a long time.

"I've been thinking about it and I think I came up with one." Naruto said as he placed Froakie in front of him. "So Froakie how would you like the name Kyūryū?" The small pokémon thought about it for a minute.

"Froakie!" It called out with a smile, Naruto grinned.

"Alright, Kyūryū it is then." Minato nodded his head at the name while his son talked to the pokémon. He was very proud of him and couldn't wait to hear about his adventures.

"Well I'm off to bed, don't stay up to late and will see you I the Morning Naruto." Minato gave his son a quick hug and then headed off to his room, pulling the door closed as he did.
