I've been fantasizing about this fic for a long time now. At first, I didn't write it, 'cuz there were a lot of them in fanfiction, but I can't stand it anymore! So, here it is! This first chapter is going to introduce the characters.
Disclaimer: I DON'T own Naruto or Pokemon in ANY way! That applies for all chapters in this fic!
Introductions
Sakura Haruno
Gender: Female
Age: 12 years old (I'm starting at 12, not 10)
Outfit: A red two-piece outfit, with a tight, pink, sleeveless shirt underneath, and pink shorts. The red is the cover-up sleeveless jacket, and a skirt. (Much like the bottom part of her 12-year old outfit in the anime.) She's also wearing a pink headband on her head, like the way she wore her Konoha headband. She's wearing red, white, and pink shoes and a watch as well. Here's the link to her outfit, and I don't own that pic, I just got it off deviantart: http://serabie00 (dot) deviantart (dot) com / art / Sakura-Pokemon-Form-78454386
Bio: When she was young, Sakura was often made fun of by other people. That all changed when she met a girl named Ino Yamanaka. Ino made Sakura more confident, and even showed her what attacks her Azurill could perform. Ino told Sakura that when she gets old enough, she would participate in Pokemon Contests. Sakura, wanting to be more like Ino, decided that she would one day become a great Pokemon Coordinator as well. So, she finally decided to step out of Ino's shadow, and go her own way. Now, the two of them see each other as rivals, and best friends.
Friends: Ino Yamanaka, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi
Rival(s): Ino Yamanaka
Status: Trainer/Coordinator
Naruto Uzumaki
Gender: Male
Age: 12 years old
Outfit: A black long-sleeved shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, with an orange and blue sleeveless jacket on top. He's wearing matching orange and blue trousers as well as two black wristbands. Here's the link to his outfit, and again, I don't own that pic: http://pumpkin-girl (dot) deviantart (dot) com / art / MODERN-NARUTO-FINALLY-74228275
Bio: Naruto was ignored and isolated when he was a child. He had no-one, but his parents and some close friends. So now, he is determined to surpass his father, Minato Namikaze, and become the world's greatest Pokemon Master, so that everyone would respect him.
Friends: Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka (Not as close as the others, though.)
Rival(s): Sasuke Uchiha
Status: Trainer
Sasuke Uchiha
Gender: Male
Age: 12 years old
Outfit: A black long sleeved shirt, with the Uchiha symbol sewn near the neck of the shrit, with a dark blue jacket on top, and matching black pants. He's also wearing spiky wristbands and collar. Link to his outfit, and I don't own this pic: http://pumpkin-girl (dot) deviantart (dot) com/ art /Modern-Sasuke-64528905
Bio: Sasuke wasn't acknowledged by his father, Fugaku Uchiha, much when he was young. His older brother, Itachi Uchiha, was, and still is, one of the Elite Four. So Fugaku kept pushing Itachi to train and become one of the best trainers in history, ignoring Sasuke most of the time. Sasuke wanted his father to acknowledge him, so he tried to get Itachi to catch him a Pokemon, so that he could become a trainer too, even at a very young age. However, Itachi kept telling him that he's busy, so he never had a chance to get his own Pokemon then. Now, at the age of twelve, he vows to get stronger and surpass his brother so that his father will, finally, acknowledge him.
Friends: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno (That's all, since he doesn't interact much.)
Rival(s): Naruto Uzumaki, Itachi Uchiha
Status: Trainer
Ino Yamanaka
Gender: Female
Age: 12 years old
Outfit: A purple tank-top that's open to the shoulders, with a matching purple mini-skirt, with a fishnet undershirt. The word "Hime" is printed on her purple shirt. She's also wearing fishnet gloves, and her hair is pulled back into a high ponytail with a blue ribbon. Here's the link to her outfit, and again, I don't own the pic. In the picture, you can either ignore the blue highlights in her hair, or keep them there, your choice: http://pumpkin-girl (dot) deviantart (dot) com/ art /Modern-Ino-59521281
Bio: When Ino was a kid, she was a really popular girl. She made friends with a pinkette named Sakura Haruno, who was made fun of a lot of the time. She gave her courage, and respected her when Sakura told her that she would become a Pokemon Coordinator as well, and surpass Ino herself, someday. Now, she views Sakura as a rival, but also her best friend.
Friends: Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Sasuke Uchiha (She doesn't really consider him as a close friend, but still, an acquaintance.)
Rival(s): Sakura Haruno
Status: Trainer/Coordinator
Shikamaru Nara
Gender: Male
Age: 12 years old
Outfit: A green long sleeved shirt, with rolled up sleeves, and with a dark green vest on top. He's also wearing dark green wristbands, and matching green pants, plus a black tie.
Bio: Shikamaru didn't really have a sad past. He's considered a smart, but lazy kid. He, like Ino, befriended another person who was being picked on. In Shikamaru's case, it's Choji Akimichi. However, unlike Ino and Sakura, Shikamaru and Choji are just best friends; they didn't think of each other as rivals.
Friends: Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki
Rival(s): None
Status: Trainer
Choji Akimichi
Gender: Male
Age: 12 years old
Outfit: A white long sleeved shirt with a maroon colored strip in the middle of the shirt. He's also wearing a green jacket, along with green pants. Here's the link to his outfit: http://pumpkin-girl (dot) deviantart (dot) com/ art /Modern-Chouji-60159203
Bio: Choji, like Sakura, was picked on by other kids when he was young. He was made fun of mostly because he didn't really know anything and the fact that he was fat and useless. One kid didn't make fun of him though, and that kid is Shikamaru Nara. Shikamaru befriended him, and, like Ino did for Sakura, boosted his confidence. The only difference that separates Shikamaru and Choji from Ino and Sakura, is that the two boys don't view each other as rivals.
Friends: Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno
Rival(s): None

Bio: Hinata, at first, was thought of weak and useless by her own father, Hiashi Hyuuga. So, she tried really hard to prove him wrong.
