Mystery Dungeon: Green Rescue Team!

Chapter Five

Chapter Five:

The journey to Thunderwave Cave was a slow and boring one. Naruto was constantly bugging Sasuke, seeing, as there was nothing else for him to do. Sasuke tried his best to ignore the blonde idiot, but ended up attempting to hurt him and the two engaged in a small battle that Kakashi had to separate them from (since Sakura, the one who usually played 'peace maker', was missing at the moment).

While watching the two boys during their small battle, before he had stopped them, he had noticed both of them resorted to using taijutsu the whole time. Which meant they couldn't perform or didn't know about the ninjutsu-like moves that Pokémon could use. Which was understandable, after all, he only knew about them because of a helpful Pokémon known as Alakazam.

The moves Pokémon were able to use intrigued Kakashi, each type of Pokémon was able to learn a different set of moves. The Pokémon he had turned into – a Swellow – was only able to learn moves that were mostly Flying-type or Normal-type, however he was able to learn other moves from other types by means of something called a TM. Alakazam had been helpful enogh to him to give him two TMs, one containing Steel Wing and another containing Thief. TMs were, thankfully enough, easy to use, as alone had to do was to hold the disk-like object in their hand, or in Kakashi's case, beak, and break it. This also caused them to only be good for one use though, so they were not without drawbacks.

The Pokémon that Naruto had turned into was apparently known as a Pikachu, an electric type Pokemon that was able to learn mainly Electric-type moves and the Pokémon Sasuke turned into was called a Sneasel and was able to learn mostly Ice-type and Dark-Type moves. However, through the use of TMs, as many Pokemon did, meant that Sasuke could learn more types of moves than Naruto, with Sneasel being able to learn seven types of moves, while Naruto would only be able to learn four, which would likely infuriate Naruto even more.

He had come to the decision that as their sensei, he would have to teach them to use these moves. It was fairly similar to ninjustu anyway, so he owed it to them to teach them the moves. After all, he was their sensei.

However, the main problem with that plan was the different type of Pokémon they all were. The only thing Kakashi would be able to do to teach them would be offering ways they could activate moves. And to add to that, they way they would have to activate their moves would probably be different than the way he did his. It was probably unique to each Pokémon, depending on their personality, strengths and weaknesses.

"Sasuke, Naruto," Kakashi interrupted them from their insult match. "If you two want to become a good Rescue Team, you would have to learn how to use moves."

"Moves?" Naruto asked, in a naive tone. "What are moves?"

"Think of moves as ninjutsu, but without the chakra. Like with each ninja, each type of Pokémon is able to learn a certain type of moves. Like Naruto will be able to learn moves Sasuke isn't and vice versa. And if you don't learn these moves, then you will be bested by stronger Pokémon and will never get further as a Rescue Team. Pokemon are able to naturally learn moves you see, and moves do a lot more damage to an opponent then a simple punch will." Kakashi smiled, although it was a bit hard to tell due to the fact that now Kakashi had a beak.

"How do you use moves?" Sasuke asked, as he wanted to learn these moves as soon as possible. To be weak in an unknown world was horrible and shameful. Sasuke had always prided himself on being strong compared to his peers. There was very little doubt that he was the strongest of the Rookies. To now be weak made him feel as if all of his work was for absolutely nothing.

"It's different for each Pokémon. For some they might be activated by emotion and by others, simply by focusing. Also, certain motions might also activate a move," Kakashi tried his best to explain to them, however it was rather obvious that he didn't know exactly how to learn to use moves.
