The Pokemon Emissary Among Worlds

Chapter 18 - After the Spar

When he saw Butterfree could learn a new move at the expense of another move, Okami felt conflicted because he thought that her moves were good. He did not want to delete Tackle because it was easily upgradeable to Master and was spammable. He enjoyed String shot even though it was not possible for him to get its Master grading unless he unlocked the next generations of Pokemon. As for Harden, it was a must-have for him because it was easily mastered and was very useful in fights. Confusion was a no-brainer. Just like Confusion, the Gust skill was a must-have because he wanted to have a cool Wind-Jutsu and could be upgraded to its Master form. All he had to do was redeem a Venonat and evolved it to Venomoth, thereby possessing three Pokemon with Gust skill. He could also breed Zubat and get Gust as his egg move.

As for Beedrill, it was an easy decision for him. He was not crazy about the Peck skill because he thought pouting his lips against the enemy sounded ridiculous.

He deleted String Shot from Butterfree's move set and learned Gust while he rejected Peck from the Beedrill's move set.

As soon as he did this, Butterfree glimmered. Then she flapped her wings rapidly, creating a small gust before her. Luckily she did it while facing away from the people thereby hitting no one.

While Okami was busy doing this, Team Akira were both shocked to see their talented Rinan being pummeled by pokemon. Akira felt his balls ache when he saw the Genin hit his crotch. Koga clenched his legs together and looked away while Nori jumped as she shouted, "Bullseye! Hit right at the target!"

Akira approached Rinan and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Do...I...look...okay, Sensei?" Rinan struggled to finish his sentence as he struggled standing up. Akira held his hands and assisted the Hyuga kid.

Nori looked around and there were clouds of dust scattered in the air as she saw Butterfree producing winds from her wings. "A Wind Jutsu?"

Koga clenched his hands as he approached his team. "I wanna have those bugs."

Nori gave Koga a glance and whispered, "But your clan is strict, aren't they? They just don't accept any bugs that are not under your clan's care. But I can tell why you want one of those. Heck, I even want to have the fox ones with the six tails. It's so cute!"

Koga snorted as he fiercely stared at Butterfree and Beedrill like how a man looked at a n.a.k.e.d woman. "Bugs are the best. I'd rather be with a bug than a pesky girl."

"Who wanted to be with a creep like you, anyway."

"Why are you offended? You are acting as if you are a woman."

"I am a beautiful woman."

"Pesky..."

"Shut it, kids. Can't you see that your teammate is suffering, here?" Akira stopped their bickering.

"He deserves it," Nora refuted.

Koga nodded. "I agree. Who asks him to fight against bugs?"

"Whatever." Rinan was feeling okay since the pain subsided. "You can release me, Akira-sensei."

As they were talking with each other, Okami approached Team Akira and bowed down. "Sorry about that, Rinan-kun. My Pokemon were very unruly."

Rinan looked away. "No worries. Everything is fair in a battle."

"That was great, Okami-kun. The way Vulpix smashed his eggs, that was a very glorious moment. Hope that you can do it again," Nori commented as she gave Okami a thumbs-up.

Koga reached out his right hand and opened it as if begging for alms. "Give me bugs."

Akira coughed as if telling everyone that he still existed. "Don't mind them, Okami-kun. It is getting late and we still have to do your request."

"I can let Koga-kun own a Pokemon if he wants to. After all, it is our clan's dream - to let everyone have their Pokemon as partners."

Koga suddenly grabbed Okami's right hand. "Then give me bugs."

Okami could understand why most people were creeped out by the Aburame people but he favored them. In the Anime, he was always interested in Shino's fighting style and was his favorite character among Naruto's batchmate.

"I can let you have one, Koga-kun. But you still have to wait until next month because I still have to settle many things."

Koga's mouth twitched until it formed into a full smile.

Nori widened her eyes. "Koga...Koga smiled..."

Akira and Rinan gulped loudly as they backed out from Koga.

Okami looked at everyone in amazement, wondering why they were acting that way. "Eh? Isn't it normal for someone to smile?"

Nori whispered on his ear. "Not with Koga. He only smiles when he plans to commit bad things. Ask him what he is thinking about and you will understand what we are referring to."

Okami gave Nori a suspicious glance and shifted his attention towards Koga, and asked, "Koga-kun, you're smiling because you are happy that you are about to own a Pokemon, right?"

"Huh? Of course not. I was just thinking of pummeling my brothers when I receive that bee-like Pokemon. I wonder if they can create an antidote against its stings, he he he."

Okami was in a momentary silence after he heard Koga's answer. After a few seconds, he then turned around and said, "It's getting late, now. I think it's time to do some cleaning."

Akira cleared his throat and stepped forward. "You're right, Okami-kun. Everyone, let's do some cleaning right now. Remember what I have told you about missions. Better do it properly."

"YES, AKIRA-SENSEI!!!" The trio shouted together.

Okami led the way and they all entered the house. The Pokemon were already inside after their fight with Rinan. They were now playing with each other.

"Can I touch the bee one?" Koga pleaded as his smiles were getting wider.

Okami wondered what the creep was thinking as he replied, "The bee is called a Beedrill. You may touch it as long as you request permission from your team leader."

"No, Koga-kun. You may do all the unnecessary things after we are done with the mission." Akira rejected him right away.

"Fair enough."

Akira was about to instruct the kids when he heard Koga chuckled. 'What in tarnation is he thinking right now?!' he wryly thought.

"Rinan, ask the client about the things that we can and can't do while we are inside this place. Survey the area and give the report after you are done."

"Yes, Sensei!" Rinan turned around and approached Okami who was busy petting the fox-like Pokemon. This time, he acted friendly towards Okami. "Okami-kun, are there any further instructions that we have to know besides cleaning the house?"

"You don't have to clean the right room on the second floor. I already did the cleaning. As for the rest of the house, you can freely enter."

"Okay." Rinan did a hand seal and activated his dojutsu, saying, "Byakugan!"

Okami could not help but stare at Rinan's eyes when the Hyuga kid used their clan's signature move. He wished he could have a dojutsu himself because Sharingan, Byakugan, and Rinnegan were powerful tools.

After Rinan was done surveying the place, he deactivated his dojutsu and reported to Akira.

Akira nodded after hearing the details. "Okay, let's divide the workload. Nori and Koga, you are the first team. Your team is in-charge with cleaning the first floor. Rinan and I will be dealing with the second floor. Let's meet outside the door after cleaning. Got it?"

"YES-SENSEI!"

Team Akira immediately executed their plan.

Okami remembered how Team 7 did all the odd jobs like catching the infamous cat and cleaning the house. He knew that these kids were fresh Genins from the Academy because they were the only ones who were tasked to accept such odd jobs. He carried a chair, called his Pokemon and led them outside so as not to hinder Team Akira. Okami set the chair as soon as he stepped outside and sat down.

Soon, the front yard was filled with Pokemon playing with each other. Beedrill, Butterfree, and Pidgey were flying together towards the exit gate as if they were in a race. Rattata and Vulpix ran as fast as they could towards the same direction. Paras was in the last place as he moved his tiny legs. Abra just sat down besides Okami and slept.

Okami chuckled. This time, he took out the piece of paper Kakashi gave him and studied it.

"Ninjutsu is one of the three main Jutsu categories. Ninjutsu is the most nebulous of the three, and may most simply be described as anything that is not genjutsu or taijutsu. Most ninjutsu requires chakra and hand seals, but this is not always the case since the mere usage of weaponry qualifies as ninjutsu. The huge range of ninjutsu's uses is ill.u.s.trated by its several sub-classifications: medical ninjutsu, reincarnation ninjutsu, space-time ninjutsu, barrier ninjutsu, sealing Jutsu, and cursed seal Jutsu.

Most ninjutsu use shape transformation, which deals with controlling the form and movement of the ninjutsu, while nature transformation deals with changing the ninjutsu's physical properties. Ninjutsu that uses nature transformation tends to follow a naming convention of their nature type followed by a more specific name. With practice and experience, certain ninjutsu can become second nature to a ninja, allowing them to perform it at will."

Okami wondered if he could master even one ninjutsu outside of using Pokemon in 'Absorb' mode. He could not wait to study hand seals and incorporate ninjutsu together with Pokemon skills.

As they say, 'Do as the Romans do when you are in Rome'. Okami needed to catch up with Naruto's batch because he knew the impending danger that was coming. He thought that it would be a terrible thing to die under Orochimaru's first attack seen in the Anime. Luckily, he had unlimited chakra because of his deal with Kurama.

He continued studying the notes and learned about hand seals. He already knew that there were a total of twelve hand seals but he never really cared about it when he was back on Earth. He just thought that it looked cool even though he knew that ninjas needed it to perform Jutsus outside of Taijutsu. But with this note, he found out that they play a major role in helping chakra mold inside a ninja's body to perform Jutsu. Some Jutsus have their commonly affiliated hand seals as well. For instance, the Ne/Rat was always used by the Nara clan every time they execute special Shadow Techniques. Tota/Tiger with the Fire and Earth Release and Mi/Snake with the Earth, Lightning and Wood Release. Tori/Bird with the Wind Release and Inu/Dog with the Water Release.

It was good for him to memorize all these things as soon as possible. Luckily, he had a good memory and this was the reason why he always took less cut from the directors every time he acted in a film.

But what he wanted right now was finding out his chakra nature.

He already had some idea with Chakra natures, its origin, and the different applications but he had to verify with Kakashi to compare how accurate the Anime and Manga depicted the usage of Chakra.

Okami was dismayed when he read the notes because the details about chakra were severely lacking. Without a choice, he spent his time memorizing the hand seals. He was preoccupied with his studying and failed to see the person who was already at the gate.
