"I don't know what you're talking about," Isagi replied as he walked past Noel, further into the booth, but the teenager from Cloud would not be satisfied with that.
"Those insects of yours. They were already in the arena before you even got there. You were preparing the stage before you even set off for your battle," he said, and Akatsuchi looked ready to explode. Well, wasn't this interesting? I doubted it would lead to anything worthwhile. All I noted was that Isagi was cr...

That would have only been a problem if it had been a one-on-one battle. Ino was focused on keeping Lance locked, but the difference in power between them meant she could actively multitask. A blast of rainbow-colored light knocked Dragapult off balance, and Igneel showed his presence in this fight with a bang. He flew across the grounds, firing fireball after fireball at the ghost type. Each hit was devastating, and when Igneel got to him, Dragapult looked to be very much on his last legs. Of...

Lance's Pokémon fought like monsters. That was the first thing I noticed as Drakloak was almost trampled by Charizard while it fought off the aggressive Igneel. None of my team would have been so uncaring. The ghost dragon had no difficulties escaping the situation, though, and headed right back for Ino and Kenpachi. Ino remained still, drawing it in and teleporting away at the last possible second. Instead, it found itself meeting a barrage of shadow balls that Kenpachi had fired like bulle...

I asked no questions when I was called down by one of the Kusa Chunin. The task must have been over. The day had given way to night hours ago, and even the most aggressive of genin had made their way to the tower. Even Kurotsuchi had returned a few hours ago. The Iwa team had continued their reign of terror until they matched up against a Kumo team. The same Kumo team I'd robbed of a member in my first clash with Noel Yatsuki. They had no interest in dicking around, and the Iwa tea...

I moved at breakneck speeds across the field, not allowing anyone or anything to catch up. My mastery of the shunshin had grown with time, so now I covered the space between me and the tower at a speed that most chunin would have difficulty keeping up with.
Of course, everything would go wrong shortly. Very shortly. I moved, and it was only a sudden voice in my head that helped me stop in time to avoid running right into a clothesline. However, the person in front of me didn'...

Lance. Fucking Lance. What he wanted and why he was here didn’t matter, not now. What mattered was that I needed a way out of here, a way without involving Sabrina. I was sure the two of us could find an escape, but I would never doom her to a life on the run simply to prevent my own arrest. Not her. Never her.
I stared at him, noting the Pokéballs on his belt. The good news was that the only Pokémon he had released right now was his Dragonite. However, the bad news was that it wasn...

It was pure pandemonium that ensued the moment the proctor started the test. Isagi tugged at both Rin and me with his bugs, silently telling us to follow him as he made his way from the hall. I guessed he had already gotten the requisite amount of clues. As we ran, I searched the hall with my eyes, taking note of the standouts in the chaos. I searched, especially, for the three prodigies. Kurotsuchi was the easiest to spot. There was a wide berth around her and her ...

Kisame rushed into Dragonite with an aura of water surrounding her just as Kenpachi began his retreat. He walked backward, keeping his face toward the dragon, and when it tried to pounce on him, sensing some sort of weakness in my Pokémon, Kisame was there. She was a storm bound in flesh as she moved. Every swipe of her tail was matched with a blast of water that could rip through solid stone with ease. Against Dragonite’s body, the water broke, barely eliciting a wince from the durable cr...

My father - the one from my first life, and if we were being realistic, the only one I've ever known - had a saying: "A good night will always be followed by a bad morning." Sounds pessimistic, right? Well, it wasn't. It was a saying about alcohol consumption and hangovers. Of course, I've since turned it into a guiding dictum for my life. I had an amazing night. The best night of my life - both lives, maybe. So the morning was bound to be something else. That's why I wasn't even surprised wh...

"And once again, Danzo, you come to me with nothing but failure," I sighed at the man sitting in front of me, taking a sip of my tea. My agents at Root had reported the mission to me the moment it was authorized, but I had turned a blind eye, hoping to see my friend's impetuousness finally achieve something useful for the village he was sworn to serve. Of course, it hadn't yielded any real results.

I watched in shock as Donnell Oak took his place by Bruno’s side. Some words passed between the fighting master and the young elite trainer before the fighting type master actually gave ground to his younger counterpart, stepping back and allowing him to claim the place opposite Giovanni.
“I’ve wanted to get you alone for so long, Giovanni, and now that it’s you and I here, you won’t be leaving here very intact,” Oak said as the shadow pokemon by his si...

“Uh, uhhh. Keep telling yourself that. You lost, Giovanni, and I know it hurts. How does it feel to stand defeated at my feet?” Oak said, clearly uncomfortable with how calmly the terrorist was taking his words. He wanted to rub it in, and a very large part of me loved seeing it.
The bell suddenly rang, signifying the end of the trial, and Oak turned to the Dusknoir. “Our bargain is concluded. Thank you,” he said, before bowing to his Pokémon, and the Pokémon bowed in return. ...

I scowled at the fish in front of me. Even after hours of trying to pump it full with medical chakra, it still remained in the state of suspended animation that Chiyo had placed it in with only a tap from one of her fingers.

The exams were slated to be held in Kusa, so that meant I had to deal with lessons on how to fight in the grassland, as well as even more brutal training sessions with The Bastard. The good part was that every single one of my stats had seen visible, measurable improvement. The downside was that every day, I tested the limits of my natural healing factor and endurance. I still had not been cleared to use medical ninjutsu on myself, so I had to deal with the pain for the few minutes it took my...

The entire thing had been insane. I couldn't even believe what was happening right before my eyes. I had released Hypno from his ball to make sure I wasn't stuck in some sort of illusion. First of all, Donnell Oak had lost control of his Pokemon, which had viciously maimed another competitor's Pokemon, and then Agatha had appeared out of nowhere like a vengeful spirit.
The crazy old coot had gone toe-to-toe with an actual Pokemon, and she hadn't just survived. She h...

It shed its pretense of being harmed by the attack and pounced right on the attacking water type. The creature’s scream, as a single drill hand smashed into its chest, was grating to my ears. It moved backward, ceding ground to the attacking rock type. And there, it made its third mistake of the battle. The first had been agreeing to fight the monster at all. The second was believing it could ever be harmed by an attack like its Hydro Pump. The third was letting it take a meter of space. Fu...

I stared up at Baki as we covered the ground to the village in a blur. I wondered if I should ask. If I even could ask. I know Baki had had several conversations with Lord Chigiri before we’d dropped the shaken man at the capital. I’d not been allowed into those conversations and what was discussed there was anyone’s guess. If I was a gambling man, I’d wager that they’d at least discussed the attackers. Baki hadn’t even broached the subject with me. Beyond giving me the duty of se...
