Disclaimer:

I don't own pokemon or Naruto cause if I did, I would've made a select few pokemon more op and I would've ended Naruto after the War.

Snowpoint city was such a cold place to live in. Even for Sinnoh natives, it was quite hard to live there. Only when you were raised there, would you be able to tolerate the cold. Just like Namikaze Naruto. He was a 6 almost 7 year old boy who could go with a simple shirt and shorts on such a freezing day if he so wished but... The same couldn't be said about his now dead mother. Namikaze Kushina ~ formerly Uzumaki ~ died of illness that was pretty common yet uncommon in the mountains. Something like this would've been normal for most people in snowpoint city but she was affected quite harshly for it cause she wasn't used to the cold. You see, Narutos parents came here for a Vacation 7 years ago. To visit his father's birth place. It was about a month into the vacation, when his father died because of a car crash. A day before his death was when he found out that he would become a dad. Kushina... overcome by sadness, went out that day with nothing but a nightgown... searching for the car his dad had used, even though it was miles away. It was loaded with medicine that was supposed to heal her. The Cold affected her and made her ill... and her immune system wasn't strong enough to potect her.

Kushina was an average coordinater born in Hoenn. But sometimes, she also battled some gyms. Now, Naruto's last living relative was dead and he cried as he stood in front of his mothers grave. Snow fell upon the small town. It may have been called a city, but that was just because of some myths, said to have happened thousands of years ago. The Graveyard Naruto found himself at...was actually a hill. Not many were buried here because of possible avelanches. Namikaze Minato ~Naruto's father~ always dreamed of being a part of snow. That's why he was buried here and his mother wanted to be buried beside her husband. The hill also made it possible to overlook the small town called snowpoint city. So when Naruto looked at the poor condition his Home town was, he gritted his teeth and clutched something in his hand. Or rather... three things in his hands. They were his mothers last gifts to him. One was a single pitch black shiny earring, another was a dawn stone she had won in her first ever competition against Minato. And the last was a Master ball. Naruto swore that he would treasure his mothers gifts and made a silent promise as he looked at his beautiful city.

3 years later, Naruto flew to Hoenn to start his journey there. The age requirement back in Sinnoh were upped to 13 after the death of a 12 year old when Naruto was 8. Age Requirements are being upped in the other regions as well. Meetings are being held between the champions and the league owner who sponsors for all who can't afford a starter.

What?

You think they're free? How else would Pokemon researchers get rich and afford flights for their trainers when necessary? Selling information and introducing new subjects and new discoveries are a few ways for them to get money. The wealthiest man in the world sponsors all the leagues and gives the money he gained there for all those who can't afford to start their own journey. Due to unwanted deaths and accidents, did they finally decide to change the age requirements for people to start their journey safely and have more experience. 'Took them three decades as well' Naruto thought, looking out of the window. He currently was on a plane nearing the Hoenn region. You had to be 13 to start a journey in Sinnoh as far as Naruto knew. The meetings were still underway to decide what your age must be in other regions though... and they just so decided to start with Sinnoh.

Naruto finally arrived in Hoenn. At first he decided to travel through Kanto but realized that it was a dumb idea. The champion there was known to be the strongest of two leagues and by default, strongest trainer in the world. You see Kanto and Johto were two neighboring regions. So they decided to collaborate with each other and have one single champion for two regions. Of course the standard 8 gyms and 4 elites were still there, making it 16 gyms and 8 elites to defeat before even thinking about challenging the champion. Naruto was sure that he wouldn't grow in a place like that. Amateurs wouldn't go far unless you have two years of experience. He would start here, in Hoenn, where his mother started her journey. Naruto stood in front of route 102. Petalburg city ~ where the plane landed ~ behind him. Naruto was a spiky blond, ocean blue eyed boy who also has a black backpack slung over his back. Naruto wore a black turtle neck shirt with neon blue accents whose sleeves were a bit too long so his hands were always hidden. He also wore Black baggy pants with neon blue stripes at the sides which were tucked into white medical bandages at the ends. Black shoes with neon blue accents accompanied his Outfit. Last but not least were his own trademark dressing habits. The first was the face mask that covered half of his face which had three whisker marks on each cheek. The second was his white zip up sweater that he always tied around his hip, making him look like he's wearing a man-skirt. And the third was the earing His mother had given him. The earing was formed like an hourglass which Naruto wore on his left ear. He was currently on his way to meet professor Harold Birch, to sign himself up for the league and get his starter. It was nearing night time when he hit the road. Naruto thought about how he should continue his life. He planned to do everything possible like battling gyms and joining contests. But being a champion or a top coordinator isn't his goal. They're more like stepping stones and learning experiences for him. 'To achieve my dream... this is the hardest and only way' Naruto thought. He then thought about which pokemon he should catch, cause catching every pokemon left and right isn't all that smart. He planned to have at least 20 pokemon but that can come later. Naruto never really planned what pokemon he should have in his first ever team but being a bit picky is a must. He couldn't just capture any pokemon he sees... correct? He actually wanted to go back to sinnoh and get himself the pre evolution of frosslass. You can't fault him. Being raised on a mountain makes you love Ice types. 'meh. I'll just see what fate has to offer... ' it was then that his musings were interrupted.

"Get out of the way kid!"

Two men wearing a long sleeved black shirt, matching pants and black boots, shoved Naruto out of their way. A rather noticeable sign... was the capital S printed on their shirts. It was colored Emerald green. Naruto wondered what they were doing in the forest... of course, maybe to catch pokemon but they look way to suspicious for that. Naruto decided to investigate further and turned to the forest they just came out of. Naruto entered it and rushed ahead. He couldn't really navigate through the thick forest cause he went too far inside after some time, so he decided to climb a tree and tree hop forward. It was when he entered a clearing, that he saw something that would haunt him for a long time. Naruto gasped at the sight... It was a gardevoir laying face down. Its white 'dress' looking body covered in a weird red substance. Naruto rushed to it and examined it. He then turned it around and saw The most gruesome sight he had ever seen. He couldnt take it anymore. Naruto stood up form his crouching position and took a few step back. he turned around and vomited the taco he ate at the plane.

que shudder.

trust me! plane food is not cool man.

He drank some water to get the nasty taste off of his tongue. He then returned to gardevoir and looked at its wound again. He almost vomited again. The gardevoir had a hole through its abdomen and was loosing blood at a fast pace. Naruto rapped her up and tried to help all he could, but it wasn't enough. Narutos expression showed absolute sadness when he looked at the gardevoir. But when it twitched, his face showed a sign of relief and awe. The gardevoir opened its eyes and looked at him. It looked relieved to see him somehow. Naruto thought that it was because it knew that it was being saved. But no... The gardevoir looked at him and gave him two things from under her dress. The first was a second was a violet pokeball with an eye on the middle... where it got it... Naruto didn't know. He knew what it was... He studied every thing he could about pokemom when he turned 5 and even then, Naruto continued to learn. A mind ball is very expensive and rare to find in markets.

'the fact that she has this pokeball is astounding' He thought, looking at the mind ball, specifically designed to capture psychic types.

'but why would it give these things to me?' Naruto thought confused. The gardevoir then held her hand out, a pink-purple aura appeared before it. Suddenly, another pokemon appeared out of the aura. Naruto guessed that the move used to do that was teleport. Naruto's eyes widened to the size of pizza plates. Cause sleeping on Gardevoirs hands was a ralts with a wierd color sheme. Naruto knew all to well what those were. A pokemon with a different color scheme from the norm. They're called shiny. The ralts was a special ralts with a blue 'helmet' instead of the ordinary green. Gardevoir then painfully gave the shiny ralts to Naruto. It looked at him calmly before its eyes glowed orange before closing again. Naruto didn't realise it but his blue eyes glowed a bit before returning to its original colour. It was far to quiet in the forest now. As if it knew that it lost something wonderful. The sun long since passed the horizon, finally showing a clear night sky. A warm breeze passed Naruto's face as he stared at the now dead Gardevoir. Slowly but surely, Gardevoirs remains turned to violet-pink particles. It was a sad thing to see. He couldnt even bury her. 'yeah... it was probably a she.' Naruto thought as he looked at his hands. 'No self respecting male would carry a ribbon with him' Naruto smiled. Not that anyone could see, cause of his mask and the fact that there's nobody here except him and the ralts. He pondered what could've happened to the gardevoir... It was then that it hit him with a ton of bricks. 'Those men...' Naruto narrowed his eyes. 'They must have known about the gardevoir mothering a shiny. This ralts was their goal... but why so much trouble for a different colored ralts... urghh! this doesn't make any sense.' with a sigh Naruto looked at the still sleeping ralts. Naruto then went around to check the perimeter to secure his camp and maybe find some berries if he was lucky. While leaving, he never saw the twitch that came from ralts body.

'mhm... for an open field in the middle of the forest... it seems pretty safe to me' Naruto expected to have encountered a pokemon or 5 by now, but all he saw were signs of battle. 'Scorch marks, dents on trees, even a few body shaped holes on the ground... what could've possibly happened here.' he thought whilst touching a scorched patch of wood. 'More importantly, who were those people...' Naruto sighed.

'looks like I'll have to stay here for an extended period of time...'

you see, Naruto never planned to stay in Hoenn for long. He planned to travel it a bit for 3 to 4 months before flying to the next region, but this mystery is plaguing his mind right now and he wanted to know where this leads too. If curiosity killed the cat... then it has 8 more chances to learn. Of course, he still had his dream to accomplish and that can't really wait. 'Meh, I'll just do both at once... maybe a journey here in Hoenn wouldn't be that bad. Naruto Looked up to the clear night sky where he star gazed for a second.

'it really is quiet here.'

He was about to return to his camping spot, but he saw something that made him try and look more closely at the sky. It was obviously flying and serpentine like in body. More importantly it was black and was probably very big if he could see it from here. Naruto knew what pokemon it was. He'd be dumb not to recognize the Rayquaza. 'Heh, first day into my journey and i meet a shiny rayquaza' Naruto eye smiled at the thought. He then returned to his camp...only to see ralts awake and looking at the sky in wonder. Naruto slowly but surely walked towards it.

Ralts shied away as Naruto sat beside it. He just eye smiled and offered it a berry he found in the woods. ralts looked away and kept turning its head, looking at everything in sight... as if searching for something. It then squeaked its name. It was at this point that Naruto knew what it was that this ralts was searching for. It was searching its mother. He then calmly looked at the ralts and lowered his right hand with the offered food. Inner conflict which was comically displayed as a war was seen inside Narutos head. 'should i tell her the truth... no no... that would traumatize it...' Naruto had this awful desire to scream in frustration. The Ralts was searching for answers and as he was its solution book, Ralts looked at him. Even though Naruto couldn't see its eyes, he could practically feel those doe like innocent eyes behind its blue hair. It was 3 minutes later when Naruto had decided what he would do. It was a decision that Naruto would come to regret.

"Ralts, as you can see, your mother is not with us..." at this he paused and Ralts looked on innocently. Naruto could see that she wouldn't know the double meaning behind his words cause it was still young. What would you expect from a child? "Ralts, your mother gave you over to me in hopes of me raising you. You see, there is an evil organisation that she had to defeat and she couldn't just carry a child with her" Naruto knew that this was rather farfetched and unbelievable but hey... try telling a kid that your mother had died. Naruto then thought about how he found out that his own mother had died.

'the people in snowpoint were too blunt'(2) Naruto sweat dropped at the thought. His thought process was interrupted by a close to tearing up Ralts.

"Ahh Ralts... your mother didn't abandon you, she just didn't want you to get hurt while she's fighting." ralts squeaked its name in confusion. It understood what the human told it but it didn't help ease the pain in her chest. So it tucked her knees together and hugged them in an attempt to calm itself. A few minutes later did it finally fall asleep. Naruto sighed... he knows all to well what this ralts will go through... he just didn't know when.

'i can't leave her here... its to dangerous for her, especially when trainers pass through. I'll take it with me and tell her the truth once she has evolved into gardevoir or gallade... i wonder what its gender is' with these last thoughts, Naruto took ralts and carried it to his tenth where he then fell asleep.

He never saw or heard of something leaving the area.

Naruto woke up early in the next morning. He yawned and searched for the shiny ralts thats accompanying him for the time being. He smiled when he saw it sleeping like a baby should. It was probably still a few weeks old but baby pokemon grow up fast. Its a universal law that just cannot be changed. Of course, if the ralts want, Naruto can train it with a few restrictions... like not battling other pokemon. If ralts comes with him, he wouldn't let it battle for a few more weeks. 3 maximum Naruto concluded.

' I'll think about it later, but for now... time to cook breakfast'

With that, Naruto silently left the tent, not wanting to wake ralts up. Naruto decided to have some bakon and some scrambled eggs for breakfast and decided to give ralts some berries.

In the tent, a blue haired feeling pokemon woke up due to the smell of something good. Ralts stood up and followed the smell in trance.

Naruto heard some shuffling in the tent and wondered if ralts had woken up. He eye smiled when he saw ralts walking up to him as if in hypnosis. He gave ralts the berries he had cut into pieces to make it easier for ralts to eat. Ralts delicately took the plate and looked back to Naruto, as if asking for permission to eat. Naruto continued to eye smile ~ something thats starting to confuse ralts ~ and shoo'ed ralts away with his hands, gesturing for it to eat. Ralts ate infront of the tent in contant, Naruto a few ways in front of her. As they continued to eat, Ralts longingly looked at Naruto's plate cause her berries were all gone. Naruto saw this and wondered if its ok to give pokemon human food.

"meh, there's a first for everything right"

Naruto then went over to ralts and held up a spoon with scrambled eggs for her to eat. Ralts hesitantly got closer to the spoon and slowly opened its mouth. It then flinched away, scared that the spoon would eat her instead. Naruto just eye-smiled and ate the scoop himself. The look on Ralts face ~ half face ~ was hilarious. It looked so devastated that the food was gone now. It even squealed its name in despair multiple times. Naruto chuckled and went to get the leftover eggs and bakon from the pan. Whilst ralts was on the verge on crying, it calmed down as soon as it saw another spoon of scrambled eggs in front of it. Ralts looked at Naruto for permission. Naruto just eye smiled and held the spoon closer to it. This time, ralts took the offered food and immediately loved it. Naruto gave her the plate and let her eat herself. Ralts was disappointed with something but didn't know why. As it ate, Naruto went on to pack his tent and clean up the clearing. When he finished, he saw ralts using psychic to hold the spoon in font of it and feeding itself quite awkwardly. Naruto eye smiled to hide the surprise in his eyes. He walked over to ralts and took the spoon right before it could take another bite. "Psychic.. very impressive for someone as young as yourself..." Naruto looked at the spoon as he said so, not seeing Ralts beam at the praise

"but using it to feed yourself is kinda wrong..." and Ralts joy was crushed, it felt like crying.

"if you want to be fed then I'll gladly do it for you ralts" Naruto chuckled and offered her another spoon of scrambled eggs. Ralts smiled in joy and expressed it by squealing her "language/name" in joy. They left the clearing after breakfast. Ralts followed him because that was the better option and the fact that it liked Naruto was one of the reasons she followed him as well. Ralts have always been a good judge of character after all. Beautiful scenery's passed them as they walked, some were big flower fields where Naruto saw a weird black flower with red accents. He narrowed his eyes because of the sun blending him and tried to search for the flower again. The next thing he knew... the flower was gone.

'probably just my imagination' He thought. Naruto entered Oldale town after a two hour walk and decided to restock. Before entering though, Naruto decided to carry ralts so that trainers wouldn't think about catching it. As he walked through the city, ralts curiously looked at everything in sight, be it buildings, shops, restaurants, food and whatnot. The thing that interested it and confused it the most though, were the pokemon that came out of pokeballs. Ralts turned to Naruto and voiced her confusion. At first Naruto didn't understand what ralts was saying but soon understood that she wanted to know more about pokeballs once she pointed to a trainer that just released his own pokemon. He eye smiled.

"well ralts... those round objects where the pokemon come out of...are called pokeballs. They're meant to show which pokemon belongs to whom so that other trainers can't capture them. As a matter of fact, I'm carrying you now so that other trainers won't try to catch you..." Naruto explained before being interrupted by ralts squealing its name in confusion.

"well, there are bad people out there that would either catch you to sell you off somewhere... you wouldn't like that right?" Ralts shook its head sideways very quickly and tried to bury its head into Naruto's chest. It hurt a bit because of its horn but Naruto didn't say anything. He just opted to continue his lecture. He realized that he already was in the market and walked, as if on autopilot. "Those pokeballs... as they are called..." Naruto said making sure that Ralts remembers the term.

"...are also safety precautions for when someone has strong pokemon and becomes evil. With a system like that, the league can take pokemon from their trainers... but only then, when the correct reasons are met. So it means that every trainer is monitored by the league." Ralts still seemed not to understand so Naruto decided to give it an example. He took some Pokeballs from the shelf as he started to explain things to ralts.

"for example... if I catch you now then that would mean that the league won't be able to track or take you from me.

That would make you my pokemon.

But if I captured you after getting signed up for the league then they can take you from me the moment I turn evil" Naruto looked at ralts to see if it was understanding what he said. It seems that ralts did and went on to its next question. She then pointed at a weird device a boy was holding in front of a torchic. Naruto eye smiled again.

"Those are called pokedexes Ralts. Those are what bound trainers to the league. They enable trainer to see stats of pokemon and moves they can learn and pretty much everything you can think of. The price for such information is that the professors you got it from will be able to see what pokemon you will eventually find and also be able to block access to ones pokemon. For example: I turn bad and use a pokemon i captured after getting the pokedex, then they can confiscate said pokemon when I order it to do something that's outside our laws. While doing that, they can also take ones trainer licence..."

Ralts looked very confused at the new term and voiced it as much. Naruto chuckled and continued to lecture it.

"A trainers licence is what allows people to become trainers or coordinators in the first place. To get one, you fill in information about yourself online or on paperwork which will then be sent into a... database... you could say. After that, it'll be connected to a pokedex. So whenever someone catches a pokemon, data of said pokemon ~which is easily scanned within the pokeball~ will be merged with the humans own data which was the form you filled out in paper that was then sent to the pokedex. This merged data will then be transformed into a code. This code enables a pokeball to function. You with me?" Ralts nodded and waited for more information.

'This ralts is very smart... for one so young to understand all this... I'm young as well but certain things force one to grow up faster' he eye smiled at ralts and continued his lecture. Naruto already finished his shopping and went to route 101 towards Littleroot town.

"As i was saying. The code is a mixture of the pokemons data and the humans data, if one's missing then the pokeball will malfunction and won't open. In short, taking the license is taking the human data. Taking the pokedex is taking the pokemons data." Ralts was amazed at the system humans had created and was also quite unnerved. This system makes the Pokemon and the humans not really free... what if you have to do something bad to someone to do something good for someone else. They reached a cleering with a single big tree in the middle an hour after he left Oldale town. Naruto put Ralts down and left it to play with some toys he bought in the shop, mostly puzzles. After making sure that ralts had fun, Naruto went on to cook them a meal. They quickly hit the road after lunch ~which were sandwiches and berries~ and continued to travel to littleroot. On the way, Ralts had a final question for Naruto. It 'drew' a ball in the air with its hands and pointed at Naruto then back at itself.

"you want to know what happens if i capture you know? ok..." Ralts didn't really meant that but was still curious about it so it listened.

"I did explain that for a pokeball to function, it must have a code mixed with the humans data and the pokemons data. Now that only applies when the trainer owns a pokedex. Because that's where the trainers data comes from and is at the same time, linked with the pokeball a trainer owns. After all, every trainer buys pokeballs with the dex since you automatically get money if you win. The money is safely ... banked... in the dex after winning against an opponent. If I were to capture you now without owning a dex, then you'll be my pokemon. The league would have no influence over you cause the data in the pokeball is yours and yours alone. That means that you dont need my own data to open it"

Ralts smiled, nobody can take it away from Naruto when he catches it now. Ralts then jumped on Naruto's shoulders and Opened his bag. It took out a violet pokeball and jumped back down in front of Naruto. His look was equivalent of a Mother catching their daughter doing it with their boyfriend.

"You want me to catch you?" it nodded in agreement and even squealed shyly.

"if you do this then you're the one choosing you're trainer, cause essentially, you decide when to open the ball or not"

It just let itself get captured without struggle. Ralts quickly came out of it though and took the mindball from the floor. It shyly walked over to Naruto and looked away as she held her pokeball in front of her for naruto to take. Naruto took it with an eye smile. He pocketed it and kneed in front of Ralts. Patting its head, Naruto told her. "I swear...I'll train you to be the greatest pokemon ever, A pokemon that can go toe to toe with legendary pokemon. And I'll make sure to take care of you" Naruto eye smiled at the blushing ralts. Ralts then jumped at Naruto and hugged him.

'I'll tell you the truth when you're ready' He thought with a little bit of guilt sapping his mind. He had to tell it about its mother.

But for now...

"Oh my..." Naruto laughed sheepishly and looked at the ralts still hugging him.

"I still haven't introduced myself... did I?"

Ralts timidly let go and took a step back before looking at its new trainer.

"My name is Namikaze Naruto. A pleasure to meet you" He said.

Ralts then pointed at itself trying to tell Naruto what it wanted. He was confused at what Ralts wanted '...a toy maybe...'

he thought. It all went clear thought when Ralts wrote the word 'Name' on the dirt ground.

"You want a name?" Naruto eye smiled as it nodded. "Unlike other trainers who nickname their pokemon nonsense... I give them a meaning. So first and foremost... Ralts, are you a guy or a girl?" It nodded its head when Naruto said 'girl'.

'so you're a girl then...'

"Mhm... what should I name you..." He thought... though after 5 minutes, Naruto knew what her name should be.

"Shi...zu... ka" He said quite slowly too.

Ralts squeaked, confused at the choice but still happy.

"... your name's Shizuka...

Because we met on a Silent summer"

Ralts happily agreed with the choice.

so... what do you think?

was it good

If there are any grammatical errors then please tell me... i don't have a beta tester yet so that's why it might get crappy...

Update- I found all of my errors, probably. Sadly all the other chapters i wrote up to chapter 10 were gone. So I'll have to redo my work again. The next update might take longer. Sigh... i should have written this shit on wattpad.
