IMPORTANT Note: Heyo my dear readers! These side chapters won't be very frequent, and will most likely be just two side chapters per week at most, so you should cherish the side chapters while there are side chapters! Drop me power stones, at least as a show of support, aight?! Thanks, ma dudes!

'Ah, the chosen...' Naruto thought as he saw the boy tripping on the plain ground, it reminded him of Konohamaru. Maybe less rebellious, but it did remind him.

Professor Oak facepalmed before introducing the chosen, ''This one is called Ash Ketchum, as always, he is the last one to arrive. Boy, you're too late, they have already gotten all of their Pokemons.''

''Really?! What about these three with you?'' Ash asked suspiciously before noticing Naruto, ''Oh, hello! I'm Ash Ketchum, what about you?''

''Naruto Uzumaki.''

''What a weird name!'' Naruto's eyebrows twitched, 'Your name sounds like Ketchup but sure, my name is the weird one...'

Hearing Ash's question, Professor Oak looked at him warily before saying, ''These three won't become the Pokemon of Trainers, they're my only companions! But if you really want to become a Trainer, there is another Pokemon, but he's a bit... wild?''

''...'' Naruto felt that Ash was probably going to suffer a bit after noticing that Oak couldn't define the Pokemon properly. But Ash didn't care about that, and stars flooded his eyes, ''Really, thanks! I want that Pokemon, no matter what!''

Professor Oak sighed before leading them to another room, where a Pokemon with two long ears pointing upwards, yellow-colored skin and a lightning-shaped tail stood by, and it stared at them, ''Chu?''

''Woah! It's a Pikachu!'' Ash's eyes were flooding with so many stars that Naruto almost thought it to be the universe. Professor Oak facepalmed once again before giving a few Pokeballs, a Pokedex, and a few other necessary items to the cheerful boy, ''This is your starting equipment, remember not to lose your Pokedex. You can put the Pikachu on this Pokeball here.''

Without hesitation, Ash threw the Pokeball at Pikachu. With great expectations, it hit the Pikachu, but nothing happened. The boy quickly picked the Pokeball before throwing it again, for the same result!

''Pffft...'' Naruto laughed after seeing the blank reaction on Ash's face, ''Try being amicable, this one is a rebellious one, boy. Pokemons are intelligent beings most of the time, so don't think of them as tools.''

''I don't treat them like tools! I want it to be my friend, but thanks.'' Ash yelled before thanking Naruto calmly. Then, he approached Pikachu carefully before trying to c.a.r.e.s.s the small creature's head.

''Chu!'' Pikachu shouted, as yellow lightning flooded the entire room, literally shocking both Oak, and Ash. Naruto felt the yellow lightning carefully before it dissipated, ''You must be a bit hungry, yes? Here, eat a bit.''

Naruto slowly brought his hand near Pikachu's mouth, as a small amount of blue-colored lightning flickered there. Pikachu looked at him warily, before eagerly devouring it, and burping small streaks of blue-colored lightning.

'So they can eat elements, as long as it is beneficial to them. Good thing I used the lowest kind of Lightning!' Naruto thought in relief as both Oak, and Ash stared at him while feeling shocked. The boy was slightly bolder, ''You can use elements like the Pokemons?!''

''I can't. This is an ability of my Pokemon, it can connect with me, and allow me to use his element, both of my Pokemons can do that.'' Naruto said after thinking carefully, he decided to stay in this world temporarily. Then, two puff of smokes sounded as a human-sized Kurama appeared on his side, and a hand-sized Juubi appeared on his shoulder.
