Hello everyone! T'is I, Kyroshiro, here with a very merry chapter of NNL! It's been quite a while since I've updated one of my fics. so updates may or may not be slowed down… I will say that I have some spectacular ideas for my current fics. and for future fics. as well. Anyways, I shall get on with the fic., but first I'd like to wish ALL of you a very merry Christmas/Hanukah/Whatever you celebrate!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or Naruto still….

Naruto sighed happily as he walked through the city if Driftveil, watching as white specks fell from the sky, and landed on the ground before being trampled on by children in coats and sweaters as they played in the city. The crunching of the snow as he walked through the lively area were drowned out in the laughter of the children and the adults that watched over them. He looked around and saw many houses decorated in the oh so familiar Christmas look, and many Christmas Trees littered the yards. He giggled when he passed by a house and saw two boys having a snowball fight, before it escalated to an all-out war with snow tanks and a snow F-117 Stealth Bomber…. Naruto shook his head at the excessiveness of the Snowball fight as he saw many other children joining in. HE could have sworn he heard someone shout 'SNOW GRENADE" and then explosion as he turned the corner, but chose to ignore it to keep his sanity intact…

Anyways, Naruto continued walking around as he thought over what had happened until this point. After Professor Juniper had fainted, the group decided to stay in Driftveil City for a few more days, mainly to take a break from their traveling. It was getting closer to being Christmas, a week to be exact. Naruto and the others had been relaxing as they enjoyed their time off, curtesy of Ash. Though Pikachu and he could tell why Ash had done so… well part of the reason. Ash really did appreciate his Pokemon and wanted them to be well and rested before they traveled again, but the two could tell he and Iris were doing things behind closed doors….

Naruto shook his head as he got back onto his train of thoughts. Juniper had been a little bit annoying at first, but Naruto had grown used to the Professor… still didn't mean he was creeped out when she appeared out of nowhere when he did something unusual or 'new' that other Pokemon hadn't been seen doing… But today she had decided to let him be as she had called her father and had wished him happy holidays. Last he saw her, the two were talking very excitedly about something. The group of trainers had exchanged gifts with one another earlier that day, as did the Pokemon. Everyone enjoined what they had gotten, though Naruto and Snivy had mainly gotten some baby stuff for their child when he/she was brought to the world. Naruto smiled softly as he stopped walking and stared up into the sky, several people noticing the Pokemon, but letting him have his space. Naruto shook his head again and continued his walk through the city. Kyuubi was probably somewhere, enjoying his Macho Brace that Excadrill had given him… where the hell did that mole get an item like that anyways?

Naruto had decided to take a walk in the city, to enjoy the sites. Snivy allowed him (getting some whipping motions from several of his friends, before they paled when Snivy glared at them) while she talked with Jirachi. Naruto had thanked her before saying he'd be back later. So here was our favorite Multi-Type, though now the name pertained to his Forme Changes rather than being more than two types. While he hadn't unlocked the other formes yet, he knew he had them all ready for when he needed them. Naruto sighed as he came to the watery edges of the city. He looked into the waters, looking at his reflection, before a Pokemon had popped out of the water. It was a big and pink Pokemon with green eyes and a large maw. Alomomola, if he remembered from looking at Ash's Pokedex. He didn't pay attention to where they were found however, so he had no idea if this one was in its natural habitat.

Naruto grinned as he greeted the fish. "Hello there, and Merry Christmas," Naruto spoke, using pokespeech. The pink fish looked at him before grinning.

"Hello to you too and Merry Christmas as well," the Water Type spoke, its voice revealing it was a female. She then dived back into the waters, leaving Naruto alone with his thoughts. Naruto sighed as he looked at the waters, before looking up into the sky. He saw the sun was at its highest point, and decided to head back to the PokeCenter to spend time with Snivy and Jirachi. That was another thing that had occurred. While they haven't mated yet, Jirachi was officially part of Narutos little Harem, as Pikachu had called it once. Of course that got him a beating from Snivy and Jirachi, Emolga joining in as well for the fun of it. Naruto chuckled softly, before he began running to the PokeCenter. He idly noticed that Oshawott was out and about, dodging snowballs from the aforementioned mouse as well as Emolga from the sky. He saw Krookodile with an excessive amount of jackets and sweaters on him, but it was understandable as hes more of a desert Pokemon, which meant more heat for him rather than cold. Unfezant was inside of the Pokemon Center looking outside while several of the Pokemon were lazing about outside of the Center. Naruto ran through the doors as they opened for him, before he slowed to a stop and looked around for his mate(s). He saw them near the connoisseur as he rested on the couch looking absolutely exhausted, while Ash's friend form Kanto was moping around.

"WHY CAN'T I GET A GIRL TO LOVE ME," he suddenly shouted, getting a sweatdrop from many of the people in the building. Naruto decided not to dwell on the teen as he moped in his… 'depression'. Naruto walked up to Snivy and gave her a hug from behind as she gave out a startled cry while Jirachi giggled silently. Snivy looked behind her, only to get a familiar muzzle to lock lips with her. She groaned in pleasure before she began to respond to her mate. Jirachi sighed silently in contentment as she watched her mate make out with her sister. They were sharing the same mon after all, may as well see each other as that. The two finished their make out session and Naruto was about to engage Jirachi in one, before she raised her hand and giggled once more. He was confused before he looked above and saw a mistletoe with a purple aura around it above him. He looked back at Jirachi only to see she was right in front of him, planting a kiss on his lips. He responded to her advances, making Snivy smirk. Their egg was wrapped nice and snuggly with a Santa Hat, getting some cooing from Snivy as she rubbed the egg gently. At this point, it was around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, but because of the time of year, it had gotten quite dark out, the stars twinkling as they appeared. Ash, Iris, and Juniper had joined the small group at the front portion of the Pokemon Center, which had also joined the Christmas traditions, if the Nurse Joy dressed up as a Misses Claus was any indication.

The group were simply enjoying each other's company as Juniper was speaking to Brock and Ash and Iris were talking to one another. Cilan, however, was snoozing away, having had a bad night the previous night. They talked quietly to let the connoisseur have his rest. Naruto was laying on his side, Snivy and Jirachi laying on him, Snivy and Narutos egg in the middle of the trio as they looked around the center. Pikachu was taking a power nap from all the activities he had done with the others, who were resting as well, while Kyuubi was trying to perform handstands to cure his boredom. Axew and Scraggy were sleeping next to the groups table, and Oshawott and Emolga were talking to one another on one of the windows in the center. It was very peaceful in the center, as everyone was taking a breather from the day, when a sudden cracking noise was heard. Everyone who was awake looked around, while those that were asleep (except Cilan, who was practically dead to the world) awoke, all of them getting on guard in case it was Team Rocket. More cracking could be heard as everyone was furiously looking around. Naruto had the strange urge to look down. He didn't notice anything out of the order, just cracks appearing around his and Snivys egg with light pouring out of it…. wait…

"SNIVY THE EGG," Naruto cried out in PokeSpeech, getting all of the Pokemons attention as they rushed to the trio. Ash and the others (again except Cilan) took notice and looked down to see the egg hatching. Nurse Joy and her Audino also took notice and rushed to the group. The others had arrived just in time for the egg to shake and crack once more before a bright light bathed the room. Everyone covered their eyes, before the light vanished. Everyone cleared their eyes, before looking down. In Narutos paws was a baby Snivy with a tuft of fur that was like Narutos. The Snivy had a red color tone with yellow lines running on the outer edges of it, almost looking like an outline. They had a cream underbelly, and rather than having three leaves at the end of its tail, it had a one leaf, but it was covered in fur. It slowly groaned before opening its left eye, revealing the standard red of a normal Snivy. It then opened its right eye, giving everyone a surprise. It was Narutos cerulean eye color that greeted them. It looked around before it looked at Snivy and then up at its father.

"M-Meema," the Snivy spoke, revealing it to be a female. Snivy had tears in her eyes as she smiled at her daughter. She walked tentatively to her daughter, before wrapping her with her tail as she hugged the newly born Snivy. The little girl giggled as she hug her mother. Naruto smiled widely as did the others.

"Hello there, my daughter," Snivy spoke to the smaller Grass Type. "Welcome to the world. I'm your Meema, and that" She pointed at Naruto, getting the smaller Snivy to look at her father. "Is your father." The little girl looked at Naruto for a while, making him fidget nervously. What if she didn't like him? What if he ended up being a bad father? What if-? His train of thought was stopped when his daughter jumped at him, giving him a hug.

"Poppa," the little girl cried out happily as she hugged her father, who wrapped his paws around his daughter. He smiled with small tears going down his cheeks as he whispered encouraging words into her ears, getting small giggles from the new born. Snivy looked around as everyone stared at the beautiful sight. The professor was looking very giddy though. She was excited about this new discovery, but would keep her cool until later. After all, she wouldn't want to ruin a magical moment like this.

(A few hours later: 10 P.M.)

After a few hours of tests to make sure their daughter was healthy, Nurse Joy had given the parents their daughter back, who had instantly latched onto her father, giggling as she laid on his back, enjoying the relaxing position as his body raised up and down in tune to his breathing. Snivy rested on Narutos left side while Jirachi was lying next to her. The small family enjoyed each other's presence as they all stared outside, looking into the night filled sky as snow fell down.

"Are we going to name her," Snivy spoke to Naruto quietly, the others being asleep at this point, exhausted from all the excitement during the day. Well everyone but them of course, as well as Oshawott who was playing with his shell near the window as he looked out into the night as well, and Pikachu who was looking at the ceiling of the Pokemon Center. He heard the question though and he came down to join the group.

Naruto was startled by the sudden question as he was beginning to nod off, but he thought it over. He looked at the Grass Snake Pokemon as their daughter looked her mother with a questioning look.

"Meema," Little Snivy spoke to her mother. Snivy looked at her daughter, before giving a motherly smile and grabbing her with one of her vines, hugging her daughter with her arms. Little Snivy snuggled with her mother, before falling asleep. Naruto and Pikachu smiled at the sight while Jirachi looked at the smaller Snivy with a motherly smile much like Snivy's. Of course she'd be the Aunt at most, and she was glad of that.

"Well, everyone does deserve a name, just that most of you guys choose not to have a name," Naruto answered, smiling smugly when they blushed at what he said. Most Pokemon chose not have nicknames or regular names, opting to go for their species name, though they were able to tell who was being spoken too by other hints. "I don't what kind of name to give her though… she has both of our qualities blended in so well… and she was born on Christmas…. So she should have a very nice name…." Snivy pondered on this as well. Jirachi and Pikachu didn't want to bother them, so they stayed silent… well Pikachu did… A few more seconds had passed by, before a suggestion came to Naruto.

"How about… Stella," Naruto spoke as he looked out the window, seeing a star twinkle at just that moment. Snivy mumbled the name a few times. She grinned when she looked at her mate.

"I like it," she said as she brought him in and kissed the Howlen. He grinned into the kiss before he broke it apart to look at their daughter.

"Welcome to the worlds, Stella Uzumaki," Naruto whispered as he curled around Snivy and Stella, closing his eyes. He felt Snivy and Jirachi lay on his side, before he let sleep consume him.

And there we have chapter 20 of NNL. I appreciate you guys that want to keep reading this story. It means a lot to me, and I always feel guilty when you guys are wondering when the next chapter is, yet I have no idea of what to write. I truly, truly appreciate you guys and all you've done. So I'd like to say, Thank you, each and every one of you guys mean a lot to me, and I don't know where'd id be if you guys hadn't stuck around. I am eternally grateful for everything you've all done for me.

So we finally have the egg hatching out and Naruto becoming an official father now. Will he be a good parent? Or will things happen to prevent him from enjoying his happy life with his new family? Who knows, you'll just have to find out in future updates!

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND A HAPPIER NEW YEARS! I hope you all stay safe, and enjoy your time with your families. If you're in school, remember to keep doing your homework, no matter how boring your guys think it is. If you're having trouble with something or someone, talk someone about it. It's better to talk about what's troubling you than to keep it in, trust me. Once again, I wish you all happy holidays!

Thank you, and happy holidays!
