Bab 23: Skills (1)
"It's over."
Hiruzen was thankful that everything went alright. No matter what, the village owed Minato and Kushina and he could not afford to hurt their only son. He knew that he had to cover up the truth about Naruto's real father so as to protect the boy from Minato's enemies.
Hiruzen was pleased to see Naruto able to learn the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. With the kid's great chakra reserve and strong stamina, this Jutsu could have a devastating effect on the hands of Naruto. He agreed when he saw Iruka letting the kid wear his own forehead protector. It was about time that Naruto would become a Genin.
And Okami. The more he learned about Ketchum clan, the more he was shocked. If the Uzumaki clan was the master of sealing Jutsu, then he could call the Ketchum clan to be the master of summoning Jutsu. Their abilities were flexible and useful. If they were to be used by Konoha, then he could imagine the threat they could cause towards the other villages.
Naruto Uzumaki and Okami Okaya. Both were orphans. Both of their clans were obliterated. There were many similarities between them. And both of them had the potential to become great shinobis as well.
Hiruzen went outside his office and saw the ninjas were very worried as they shouted in confusion.
"Did anyone find him?"
"No!"
"This is bad!"
"He could be far away from now!"
Hiruzen took out his pipe and smoked. "Everyone, there is nothing to worry about. Naruto will be back soon. Return to your homes"
Everyone looked flabbergasted as they heard Hiruzen's nonchalant words.
Hiruzen chuckled and returned inside his office. As soon as he sat on the chair, he commanded all the ANBU ninjas to return through the wireless earpiece.
The night was still long but Hiruzen knew that it was not time for him to sleep again.
=================================
"We will take it from here, Okami-kun." The female nurse bandaged Iruka's wounds, who was now topless, baring his muscular body. Her cheeks reddened as she wiped the dried blood from his back skin.
Okami looked at the nurse's reaction and knew that she had a thing for Iruka. No matter what, Iruka was single and he needed someone to take care of him. Who knows they might become an item.
Okami never forgot one of his plans - to befriend a worker in the hospital and redeem a Chansey. He thought that it would be easier for him to make her feel thankful towards him if he could let them become a couple.
"Sure, Reika-san. I hope that you could take care of Iruka-san." Okami sat down on a chair as he whispered to her. "You look good together."
Iruka blushed as he cleared his throat. "Don't act like I'm not here, brat! I could hear your words! What does a brat like you knows about love?! Don't act like Naruto!"
"Hey, that was uncalled for!" Naruto retorted as he pouted his mouth. "I don't act like that! I am more mature."
Okami shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I am just telling you the truth. Look at how your face reddens every time she touched your back, isn't it love? Reika-san, if ever Iruka-san would want to get married, the one that I'd like to recommend would be you."
Both of Iruka's and Reika's faces were beet red as they avoided each other's glances.
Naruto saw their reactions and grinned. "Ooh! You are right, Okami. They really like each other."
"Hah! Of course, I'm right. If Iruka was man enough, I'm sure that he would pursue you, Reika-san. Good luck."
The duo ran outside as fast as they could before Iruka could scold them again. They left the two on their own and walked until they reached the hospital's exit.
"Hey...thank you for believing in me, Okami." Naruto was teary-eyed as he looked down.
"You're a friend of mine, Naruto. Of course, I'd believe in you. Why should I believe trashes like Mizuki, anyway?"
Naruto rubbed his eyes and faced him. "That creepy bastard. I wished I could hurt him more."
"If your wish was granted, then you could have killed him back then if you hurt him more, Naruto."
"Hey, you were the one who did the final attack," Naruto refuted.
"Hah! It wasn't much."
"That wind Jutsu was really strong." Naruto thought of something and asked, "Could you teach me how to do that?"
"That was a Pokemon Jutsu," Okami replied as he kicked a rock on the ground. "Just like teleportation, I can do all those Jutsu by absorbing them. You could have also done that by absorbing Vulpix."
Naruto looked excited as he grabbed Okami's hands. "Teach me, then. Promise me that you will teach me how to fight like yours."
Okami flicked Naruto's hands away as he laughed. "Then teach me how to do Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Deal?"
"Deal!" They shook hands and their loud laughter reverberated across the road.
Okami gazed up the sky. "You're officially a Genin, Naruto. Congratulations."
"Heh! Thank you, Okami."
"See? Did I not tell you back then that you will indeed become one?"
Naruto nodded. "Yes, you are right. Anyway, when will we do the trade-off? Tomorrow?"
"Not tomorrow. I will meet with Kakashi-sensei and have some proper training. Besides, you still have to prepare for your picture taking."
"Why?"
"Don't you know that every Genin will be recorded in the Shinobi Registration Book? Better think of something that describes yourself and include it on your profile. And think of choosing the best look for the picture-taking."
"Oh?" Naruto scrunched his forehead as he was in deep rumination. After a few minutes, he chortled. "I know exactly what to do. Thank you for informing me."
"No problem."
Eventually, they reached Naruto's house. Naruto bade goodbye as he went inside while Okami teleported back to his house. Okami unsummoned all his Pokemon and did his evening rituals. He checked on his Pokemon App after he was done.

************************************
Okami was really annoyed that he had to delete many moves so as to cater more moves. This was a reality and he felt that such limitation was kind of unnecessary. No matter, he had to evolve his Abra and worry about them after doing so.
Abra evolved into Kadabra after the light dissipated.

*************************************
Okami ignored the prompts about deleting moves and proceeded to redeem Chansey. Okami was now very familiar with the process and waited for Chansey to appear.
A few seconds passed by when a pink, ovoid Pokémon with stubby arms and dark pink feet materialized. It had tiny eyes and three hair-like growths on each side of its head. The tufts of hair had dark pink tips and on the center of its belly was a dark pink pouch that contained a single white egg. Okami knew that the egg was said to be very nutritious and it laid several new ones every day. Finally, it had a short tail.
Okami was aware that Chansey was a female-only species with no male counterpart. He looked at the Pokedex entry.
***************************************

Chansey (Female)

****************************************
Okami laughed in delight when he saw Chansey's ability. The effects may not happen oftentimes but the possibilities of healing an ally during a fight might turn a battle in their favor. He was glad that he fulfilled the second requirement and all he had to do was hire a female receptionist and redeem two pokemon to create a Pokemon Center.
Since he had eight pokemon, then he could duplicate the rest of his pokemon once except Vulpix, which he duplicated back when Naruto wanted to become a Pokemon trainer.
Okami unsummoned all his pokemon and went downstairs. He chose the place near the table as the location for his Pokemon Duplicator and summoned it, including his pokemon. He proceeded to duplicate Pidgey first.
"What to do with these many duplicated pokemon?" He verified on the Pokemon App and found out that his best solution was to release his pokemon in the wild.
****************************************
Releasing a Pokemon
If you released your Pokemon within your territory, they will not become aggressive against you even though you do not own them. They will survive on their own even if you do not feed them. Pokemon Trainers will have their chance to capture these Pokemon using a Pokeball. Every time someone catches a Pokemon within your territory, you earn Pokemon points, which varies in amount depending on the grading level of the Pokemon.
****************************************
Since everything will be renewed next week, Okami decided to keep Chansey so as to turn her into the Pokemon starter of his receptionist. As for the remaining six, he opted to release them so that they can eat as well because he could not afford to feed them and his savings were slowly spent. The forest behind the house was the best location to release them.
"I'll release them early morning. It's still dark outside," Okami muttered to himself as he rubbed his head when he was reminded of the move sets of his Pokemon. He wanted to verify something with the mysterious God and tried contacting him inside his mind when he fainted.
=============================
[Wake up, child.]
"Oh, it succeeded?"
[Why did you call me? For your information, our meeting cost 150 DP.]
"Hey! That's the total Dream Points that I've earned today!"
[Remember our deal. No DP, no see.]
"Ugh! Anyway, I'd like to ask some questions."
[What is it, child?]
"I have some problems with the move sets. Could you explain why the moves are limited to four? Every time I see this prompt, I feel like I am inside a pokemon game."
[It is because of the poor mental strength that limits the pokemon.]
"Huh? Could you explain it in layman's term?"
[Ah! Then let me first explain what a skill is. Skills of pokemon are fragments of memories that were inscribed by Arceus when the Pokemon world was created. Different fragments of memories are given to every Pokemon and they are all stored inside their subconscious. The only way they can unlock these memories is by increasing their mental strength. And the best means to increase the mental strength of pokemon is by leveling up and evolving. That is why upon leveling up, some of the pokemon learn new skills because they unlocked the fragments of memories in their subconscious.]
