Super War Chronicles

Prologue

Training Fields, Hidden Leaf Village

Naruto Uzumaki, the current Nine-Tails jinchuriki and now world-famous hero for ending the Fourth Great Ninja War, is right now training his skills at the Training Fields near his hometown, the Village Hidden in the Leaves; currently practicing his taijutsu skills against a wooden plank and has been doing the repeated self-lesson for at least a half-hour since he's free with no missions at the moment, which the training helps keeps himself from getting bored. He did one more punch against the wooden plank before stopping, setting himself down with patting his face with a towel to relax.

"Glad to see you're working hard." A voice commented, which the young ninja turned to see his fellow ninja peer and squadmate, Sakura Haruno just arriving in the training field.

"Yo Sakura-chan," Naruto getting his friend as Sakura just arrived to see him.

"I've been SO bored lately I hit the training field most of the time," Naruto explained. "I'm bored!" He complained.

Sakura sighed. "Yeah, it's been almost four months since the war."

"Four months, huh? Makes it look like the war was just a short memory." Naruto explained.

"Yeah…" Sakura said, her mind on Sasuke, who was now redeemed by Naruto and now traveling the world as a nomad.

"Well, I better get back to the Medical Corps to help train new recruits." Sakura explained, stretching her arms.

"Well, I'll be back to training before getting a bite to eat at Ichiraku's." Naruto said.

"You better add vegetables in them." Sakura warned, slightly glaring at Naruto before leaving.

Naruto sweat-dropped and slowly nodded as Sakura left the fields. Now alone again, Naruto was staring at the bright sun that flared in the bright blue sky in this perfectly warm weather.

Fairy Tail Guild Hall, Magnolia Town

"Man, that was fun!" Natsu Dragneel, Fire Dragon Slayer and wizard of the Fairy Tail Guild in his hometown Magnolia, chirped.

"By 'fun', you mean literally destroy half the town we were supposed to protect." Lucy Heartfilia, another Fairy Tail wizard plus being a Celestial Spirit wizard, complained.

"You can't blame Natsu for that." Happy, Natsu's Exceed parter/foster brother, said with shrugged shoulders.

"And besides, it has been a while since the 3 of us done a job together." Natsu explained.

"Yeah. Just like the good ol' days." Happy said.

Lucy smiled, but a little sad.

None can blame her though. It has been only 1 month after Fairy Tail's war with Tartaros that ended while in victory, left heavy scars on every member of the guild. The guild hall that Fairy Tail calls home, once destroyed, is slowly getting repaired by not just their members, but many townsfolk who loved the guild a lot.

Lucy had her own scars of having to sacrifice Aquarius to summon the Celestial Spirit King to save her guildmates, but she knew that the water spirit would yell at her for being mopey and decided to stay positive for the sake of her friends.

"I can't wait to have some grub when we get back!" Natsu hollered, raising his head towards the evening sky with his arms pumped in the air.

Thousand Sunny, New World

"Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the infamous Straw Hat Pirates with a bounty of 1,500,000,000 Beli, is sitting at his usual spot on the figurehead of the ship/home of the Thousand Sunny, grinning like always without a care in the world. The skies are beautiful at night with the air calm and little activity in the seas.

"It's getting late, Luffy. Might wanna catch some sleep." A voice explained.

Luffy turned to see the cook of the Straw Hats and 'self-proclaimed ladies' man' "Black Leg" Sanji, having just cleaned up the kitchen.

"Nah. I love nights like these." Luffy said.

Sanji sighed, knowing he's not going to win with his captain.

"Fine. Just don't keep Nami-swan waiting." Sanji said.

"She's out like a log. Wanted to give her some sleep since she just pulled an all-nighter on that map she did from that cool island we visited." Luffy explained.

Sanji chuckled. "It was last week. But Nami-swan's diligent as she is beautiful!" Sanji hollered, doing his "love hurricane".

Luffy wasn't impressed, but didn't bother to argue with Sanji being his usual self. Sanji soon reverted to his normal self.

"Just get some sleep when you're ready, captain." Sanji said, before making his leave.

Luffy smiled and looked back up to the sky, staring at the moon.

Karakura Town, Tokyo

A roaring sound echoed in the afternoon sky, followed by a slashing sound that killed off the roar.

"Damn, seems like as usual a day in dealing with Hollows." Ichigo Kurosaki, known as the Substitute Soul Reaper (with his powers regained following the defeat of Kugo Ginjo), complained.

"Stop your complaining, Kurosaki. I thought you were relived to be back in this." Uryu Ishida, a Quincy and Ichigo's fellow classmate from Karakura High, chided. Besides him were Ichigo's other closest friends, Orihime Inoue and Yasutora "Chad" Sado, all on top of a tall building together.

"It's just how things are for us." Sado said.

"Look on the bright side, at least we'll have time to hang out for the rest of the day." Orihime explained, being cheerful.

Ichigo couldn't argue with that.

"Well, at least that was all of them in this area." Ichigo said, now looking at the sky to see if there are any Hollows in the air, but none so far.

Grandcypher, Zegagrande Skydom

It is a quite night on the flying airship known as the Grandcypher, sailing through the Zegagrande Skydom.

Standing near the forecastle of the ship is it's young captain and Singularity, Gran. Flying besides him is his trusty young dragon parter, Vyrn.

"The night sure does feel quite and nice. Just like we want it." Vyrn explained.

"Yeah." Gran said in agreement.

"Zegagrande was fun. Sure Fix-It-Dude and Id have it all covered." Vyrn explained, which Gran nodded.

"Wonder what the other skydoms are like?" Vryn asked.

"Who knows. And it might bring us closer to Estalucia before we know it." Gran explained, looking at the moon with a determined look.

XXX

Pallet Town, Kanto Region

It is a lovely night in Pallet Town of the Pokémon Kanto Region, where a certain young trainer and his partner are reflecting on something in their bed.

That trainer is none other than Ash Ketchum, having been back from the Kalos Region 6 months ago to enjoy some time home before restarting his ongoing quest to become a Pokémon Master.

"6 months, huh? Time sure flies, right?" Ash asked his longtime partner, Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon.

"Pikapi!" Pikachu hollered.

(A/N: New to Pokémon language, so I'll do the best I can.)

Ash got up towards his window and opened it up to look at the night sky, seeing the moon in its' full glory. Pikachu followed by leaping on Ash's right shoulder.

"I wonder… what kind of new adventures we're gonna do together." Ash explained.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu hollered.

XXX

Karasuno High School, Miyagi

"Man, that was some tough practice." Shoyo Hinata, first year middle blocker and decoy of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club, said; stretching his arms after a tough practice.

"Don't get too comfortable, Hinata. We still have to practice for upcoming nationals." Tobio Kageyama, 1st year prodigious setter of the same club, chided.

"Don't ruin my moment, you idiot." Shoyo Hinata defended.

Kageyama clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Whatever."

Hinata looked at the bright sky and raised his right arm to pretend like he can grab it.

"We're gonna reach the top when we get to nationals. That's a bet!" Shoyo Hinata hollered.

Kageyama smirked in response.

"Damn right, we will." Kageyama said in agreement.

XXX

Polar Star Dormitory, Totsuki Academy

Soma Yukihira, son of world-famous chef Joichiro Saiba-Yukihira and the new 1st Seat of Totsuki Academy's Elite Council of 10, was pouting for some reason at the Polar Star Dormitory balcony in the middle of the day.

"Soma-kun?" Megumi Tadokoro, new 10th seat and a chef expert in vegetables and hospitality, asked as she showed up to check on her best friend.

"Oh, hey, Tadokoro." Soma said.

"It's morning and you're usually in the kitchen. Something the matter?" Megumi asked.

"Just thinking what I'm gonna need to cook up to beat Erina." Soma answered.

Megumi has a sweat drop on her forehead, laughing nervously.

"Even though they're dating, they still compete with each other." Megumi thought.

"C'mon, Soma-kun. You know she's not gonna budge no matter how good your cooking is." Megumi explained.

"Yeah… she loves being stubborn…" Soma muttered.

"… but that's what makes it more fun!" Soma hollered, getting back in shape.

"Yep. Soma-kun's back." Megumi thought, not totally surprised to see the young chef bounce back.

Soma looked up in the sky that is still bright and clenched his fist like he's gripping the sun. Confident that one day he'll surpass the woman he loves in a Shokugeki.

But suddenly, a bright-colored flash happened out of nowhere, which caused Naruto, Natsu, Luffy, Ichigo, Gran, Ash, Shoyo Hinata and Soma quickly shield their eyes from harm.

At this very moment, the start of a grand new adventure begins!

Next time: Chapter 1 - Gathering of Warriors!

Chapter 1 - Gathering of Warriors!

Unknown Location

Naruto groaned before starting to slowly get up, now realizing he is not in the Hidden Leaf Village but completely somewhere else. It was more like an empty white void with no exit. No far distance to see beyond.

"Ugh… what was that?" Naruto asked himself.

He certainly hoped it's some sort of bad dream; pinching himself, he realize this is NOT a dream.

Sudden groaning sounds caused the jinchuriki to see behind him Natsu and Happy, Ichigo, Luffy and Blizzard, Gran and Lyria, Ash and Pikachu, Shoyo Hinata and Soma all on the ground, starting to get up.

"My head…" Natsu groaned.

"What the heck was that weird flash?" Happy questioned.

"Damn…" Ichigo muttered.

"Ow…!" Luffy groaned.

"What the heck was that?" Blizzard asked.

"You okay, Lyria?" Gran asked.

"Yep. Just woozy." Lyria answered.

"Must've looked at the moon when it was flashing." Ash muttered.

"Pika…" Pikachu said.

"This better not be another world issue again?" Shoyo Hinata questioned.

"That's my line." Soma muttered.

Their appearances surprised Naruto.

"Woah. Who are these guys." Naruto thought.

The eight heroes and the four companions all looked at each other with intrigued and/or surprised expressions, like the first time meeting together.

Suddenly, multiple flashes of light forced the heroes to cover their eyes for a while, before uncovering them to show the surprised looks on their faces.

Laying on the ground were all their must trusted and dearest friends or family members that each have a strong connection from each of their worlds.

From Naruto's world: Hinata Hyuga, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Sai and Shikamaru Nara.

From Natsu and Happy's world: Lucy, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell and Carla, Gajeel Redfox and Pantherlily, Juvia Lockser, Levy McGarden and Laxus Dreyar.

From Ichigo's world: Kon, Orihime, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryu, Sado and Renji Abarai.

From Luffy and Blizzard's world: Nami, Monkey D. Aika and Kumi, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Franky and Brook.

From Gran and Lyria's world: Vyrn, Zeta, Katalina Aryze and Sandalphon.

From Ash and Pikachu's world: Serena, Clement and Bonnie, Chase and Brad. Along with them are their respective Pokémon including Ash's from the Kalos region (Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern and Goodra), and surprisingly there's also a Tyrunt, a Gogoat, a male Meowstic, a Honedge, an Absol, an Amaura, and a Dunsparce.

From Shoyo Hinata's world: Hitoka Yachi, Kageyama, Kei Tsukishima and Tadashi Yamaguchi.

And from Soma's world: Erina Nakiri, Megumi, Takumi Aldini, Hisako Arato and Satoshi Isshiki.

"What the heck…?" Natsu questioned.

"I summoned them." A voice called out, which alerted the 8 heroes to look above.

In front of them slowly descending was an angelic-like woman dressed in white clothing and blue armor.

"An angel?" Gran asked.

That got Sanji up in a jiffy.

"An angel?! Where?! Where?!" Sanji frantically questioned, looking around like crazy before he laid eyes upon her, and in that instant, nosebleed like a rocket before falling down hard to end up knocked out, shocking the others except the angelic figure, and Luffy and Blizzard.

"Same ol' Sanji." Luffy muttered.

"That idiot never learns." Blizzard groaned.

"I can understand you have questions to why I have summoned you and your friends." The woman explained.

"But first, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cosmos." Cosmos introduced.

"Okay, 'Cosmos' - why are we here?" Soma asked.

"To tell you all first - you were summoned from your worlds because a powerful enemy seeks total annihilation." Cosmos explained.

"Annihilation?" The heroes (except Pikachu) questioned in unison.

"The enemy is a powerful god known as Chaos." Cosmos explained, showing an image of a god dressed in a ragged appearance with long white hair and dark skin via some kind of magical source.

Naruto, Natsu and Happy, Ichigo, Luffy and Blizzard, Ichigo, Gran and Lyria, Ash and Pikachu, Shoyo Hinata and Soma were quickly angered and shocked by this enemy.

"I don't know who he is, but he's rubbing me the wrong way." Ichigo said.

"Same here." Gran agreed.

Pikachu growled.

"What he seeks is 9 powerful crystal fragments that when gathered will grant him ultimate power to subjugate the entire multiverse." Cosmos explained, now showing 9 colored crystal-like fragments of red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, cyan, pink and white organized in a large rectangle.

"Can such a thing even be possible?" Lyria asked.

"Most likely." Cosmos replied.

"But he's not alone. He is assisted by enemies from 4 out of 8 worlds in his quests." Cosmos added.

"What kind of enemies?" Naruto asked.

"I do not know how many serve him. But I have managed to identify the four who serve as his commanders." Cosmos answered.

Cosmos flicked away the image of the fragments and showed four new images of Chaos' so-called commanders. But the mere images deeply shocked Naruto, Natsu, Ichigo, and Luffy, as well as Happy and Blizzard.

"Madara?!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Mard Geer?!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Aizen?!" Ichigo exclaimed.

"Blackbeard?!" Luffy exclaimed.

"No way!" Happy and Blizzard exclaimed in unison.

Gran, Lyria, Ash, Pikachu, Shoyo Hinata and Soma don't know the enemies of the first four, but they have a very bad feeling about it.

"Indeed its them." Cosmos said, vanishing the images once it all started to sink in.

"I understand if you don't want any part in all of this. This is only a fight between me and Chaos." Cosmo explained.

"But if he isn't stopped, all worlds will be under his dark control." Cosmos finished.

The twelve were a little conflicted on what to do after hearing all that. Getting involved in a war against a god and enemies that Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy and Natsu faced in the past on the hunt for 9 crystals may be out of their league. But they are well aware that if Chaos and his minions do whatever they please, the entire multiverse is finished.

Naruto was the first to step forward.

"Look - I'm in over my head about all this." Naruto said.

"But I made a dream to become Hokage and honor the wishes of my master for a world where everyone can be in peace together." Naruto added.

"And if Madara was brought back to cause trouble to another world, then I can't let him and this *Chaos* get away with this." Naruto added.

"I'll do what I can to help! Believe it!" Naruto finished, putting his right thumb on top of his forehead bandanna with the Hidden Leaf crest.

The others joined in as well.

"Hell yeah! I'm all fired up to kick their butts!" Natsu declared, mashing his fire-imbued fists with a cocky grin.

"Aye, sir!" Happy hollered in agreement.

"I swore I wanna protect my friends and family no matter what. You have my word on that." Ichigo explained, gripping his Zanpakuto.

"No one is gonna stop me from becoming King of the Pirates! To be free and eat whenever we want!" Luffy declared, grinning with him putting his signature straw hat on.

"And I'll be there right by your side, Luffy!" Blizzard hollered, or barked in dog speak.

"We're in this too! For the sake of the skies!" Gran hollered, gripping his fist.

"Yes! Nothing is impossible if we all work together!" Lyria hollered.

"And my dream is to become a Pokémon master! So I'll fight for the tomorrows of people and Pokémon!" Ash declared, adjusting his hat.

"Right, buddy?" Ash asking his partner Pokémon who jumped on his shoulder.

"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu hollered.

Cosmos smiled at the six heroes already onboard, then turned her attention to Shoyo Hinata and Soma feeling resolute to fight despite being ordinary people.

"I feel it's fair that involving your groups, you'll need these." Cosmos thought.

Cosmos instantly summoned the otherworldly weapons to Shoyo Hinata and Soma's groups. Especially Shoyo Hinata being granted his pair of Ninjatō swords, and Soma granted his twin metal gauntlets, which made the two high schoolers smirk.

"Then count me in too! I'll fly high against any foe!" Shoyo Hinata boasted, igniting his swords with sun fire.

"Got that right! No one has the right to take away a person's desire to do whatever they want freely!"

"SO COOL~!" Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Ichigo (uncharacteristically), Luffy, Blizzard, Gran, Lyria and Ash thought in unison, completely awestruck.

Cosmos smiled.

"Very well. I promise you all will succeed in these endeavors." Cosmos explained.

"You will have to tell all your friends when they wake up about the situation." Cosmos added.

"Right!" Naruto, Natsu and Happy, Ichigo, Luffy and Blizzard, Gran and Lyria, Ash, Shoyo Hinata and Soma hollered in unison.

"Pika!" Pikachu hollered, in agreeing with Ash.

"Good luck to you all." Cosmos said.

A sudden flash of white light enveloped everyone until their was nothingness.

Rivers Apartment, Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York City

Sitting in a nice comfortable room, a young boy with messy blond hair, brown eyes and wearing casual clothes was sitting in his room doing some drawing on likely superheroes.

The young boy suddenly saw a flash of light coming from his window several blocks from his apartment, totally intrigued.

XXX

Spartan House, Brooklyn, New York City

Another teenage young man with short, dark blond hair and blond eyes, and dressed in a red hoodie, black sweats and sports sneakers was playing a very familiar video game on his Nintendo 3DS outside in his backyard when something that looks like an energy instrument radar picked up a massive energy signature and suddenly felt the need to check it out.

XXX

Watson Residence, Astoria, Queens, New York City

Tending the backyard garden is a teenage girl with short blonde hair that reaches to her chin with a small red flower attachment to the right side of her ear, blue eyes, and wearing clothes along with gloves suitable for gardening just saw a bright flash of light coming from Manhattan, which made her very curious to have a look even if it doesn't concern her.

???, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City

The friends of Naruto, Natsu and Happy, Ichigo, Luffy and Blizzard, Gran and Lyria, Ash and Pikachu, Shoyo Hinata and Soma started to wake up, looking to their surroundings to see a massive five-story, castle-like townhouse building with a medieval and western mixture design, right now rundown and likely in need of construction.

Hinata Hyuga was the first to see Naruto and his new friends already waiting for them.

"N-Naruto-kun?" Hinata Hyuga asked.

"Glad everyone is up. 'Cause we've all got something to tell you all." Naruto explained.

Next time: Chapter 2 - Meeting the Cast.

Chapter 2 - Meeting the Cast

???, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City

"So let's get this straight." Erina said.

"We were chosen by a goddess to fight against a god that wants to destroy everything?" Erina asked.

"Yes." Soma replied.

"We're given the task to search for 9 shards that are LIKELY all around the world?" Lucy questioned.

"That's about right." Natsu answered.

"All of us are in all likelihood a different Earth." Hinata Hyuga explained.

"Pretty much." Naruto said.

"And we are dealing foes from four worlds that are said to be his soldiers?" Orihime questioned.

"Depends on them alive and brought from our world, or just copies." Ichigo answered.

Naruto, Natsu and Happy, Ichigo, Luffy and Blizzard, Gran and Lyria, Ash and Pikachu, Shoyo Hinata and Soma just finished explaining everything they discussed with Cosmos and started sharing with all their friends and family in one massive circle outside their supposedly new base.

"Guess we don't have much a choice." Sasuke said, being clear with the situation.

"We very well can't ignore any of this." Sandalphon said in agreement.

Soon enough, everyone else all nodded in agreement, knowing in their hearts they all feel the same way.

Naruto, Natsu and Happy, Ichigo, Luffy and Blizzard, Gran and Lyria, Ash and Pikachu, Shoyo Hinata and Soma all smiled at seeing all their allies on board.

"Why don't we first start with introductions so we can get to know each other better." Isshiki explained.

"Good idea." Brook said.

"Then how 'bout we first start." Shikamaru said.

"Good thinking." Sasuke said.

Naruto cleared his throat.

"To start, we're shinobi from the Hidden Leaf Village, a village in the Land of Fire." Naruto explained.

"Shinobi?" Hisako asked.

"We basically use ninja arts of three different types: Ninjutsu for techniques, Taijutsu for close combat, and Genjutsu for illusions and tricks." Shikamaru explained.

"Like ninja tricks! That's cool!" Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Gran, Lyria, Vyrn, Ash, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, Orihime, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Wendy, Bonnie, Chase and Yamaguchi hollered in unison. Even some of the Pokémon like Pikachu, Dedenne, Chespin, Hawlucha, Pancham, and even the wild Tyrunt and Amaura were impressed.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto hollered.

"Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke said.

"I'm Sakura Haruno." Sakura said.

"Name's Sai." Sai said.

"I-I'm Hinata Hyuga." Hinata explained.

"And I'm Shikamaru Nara." Shikamaru said.

"Why not us." Laxus replied.

"Fair enough." Tsukishima said, not totally interested.

"We come from a world of magic." Erza said.

"Magic?" Serena asked.

"It's no fantasy. We are from a guild called Fairy Tail that allows us to take jobs for payment aside from fighting against evil. We also have four dragon slayers in our guild." Erza explained.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel, the Fire Dragon Slayer!" Natsu hollered.

"I'm his Exceed buddy, Happy!" Happy hollered.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia, a Celestial Wizard." Lucy said.

"Gray Fullbuster, Ice Wizard and Demon Slayer." Gray explained.

"And stripper." Natsu teased.

"What?!" Gray exclaimed.

"He means your shirtless." Kageyama bluntly said.

Gray got shocked he doesn't have his jacket on and ran to find it, much to the shock of Hinata Hyuga, Orihime, Rukia, Zeta, Yachi, Erina, Megumi and Hisako.

Serena, Lyria, Bonnie and Aika had their eyes covered by Katalina, Lucy and Nami.

"Put your clothes on pervert!" Sakura snapped.

"How dare you say that to my Gray-sama, Ms. Flat-as-a-Board!" Juvia hollered.

The word "Flat" stabbed through Sakura's stomach, knocking her out.

"And I thought Isshiki-senpai was bad enough…" Takumi thought, getting the eerie feeling Isshiki and Gray share a similar habit when it comes to *almost* stripping completely.

"I'm Erza Scarlet, an S-Class Sword and Requip wizard." Erza said.

"My name is Wendy Marvell, a Sky Dragon Slayer." Wendy explained.

"I'm Carla." Carla said.

"Name's Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer." Gajeel explained.

"Pantherlily." Lily said.

"Juvia Lockser, a Water Wizard… and Gray-sama's beloved!" Juvia swooned, looking at the now dressed up ice user with heart-like eyes.

"I'm Levy McGarden, a Letter Wizard." Levy said.

"And I'm an S-Class Lightning Dragon Slaying Wizard. Laxus Dreyar." Laxus said.

"Why don't we go next." Nami said.

"Certainly, Nami." Robin said, beginning to explain about the pirates among this group.

"My friends and I come from a world that's in the Pirate Era." Robin explained.

"Pirates from another world? In the open sea, you mean?" Katalina asked.

"Yep! We're the Straw Hat Pirates and I'm the captain!" Luffy proudly claimed, much to the bewilderment of those who can't imaging Luffy being in charge. But Gran couldn't help but chuckle at seeing another captain of a different crew.

"There are rare fruits called Devil Fruits and whoever eats them gains extraordinary power at the cost of being unable to swim." Robin explained.

"Now that's cool." Naruto, Natsu, Ash and Shoyo Hinata commented in unison.

"My name's Monkey D. Luffy, thee future King of the Pirates who've eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit." Luffy explained, stretching his cheeks.

"King of the Pirates?" The Hidden Leaf ninja, Fairy Tail, Ichigo's Group, Gran, Lyria, Vyrn, Katalina, Zeta, Sandalphon, Ash's Group, and Karasuno and Totsuki students thought in unison, bewildered.

"The crew's swordsman, Roronoa Zoro." Zoro said

"I'm Nami, the crew's navigator." Nami said.

"The brave captain Usopp, the crew's sniper!" Usopp hollered.

"I'm Sanji, the crew's illustrious chef." Sanji said, in a charming-like expression.

"And womanizer." Zoro muttered.

"I heard that!" Sanji snapped.

"I'm the crew's doctor, Tony Tony Chopper. I've eaten the Human-Human Fruit that allows me to walk and talk like a human." Chopper explained.

"He's adorable!" Hinata Hyuga, Lucy, Orihime, Sakura, Erza, Juvia, Wendy, Levy, Rukia, Zeta, Katalina, Lyria, Serena, Bonnie, Yachi, Erina, Megumi and Hisako thought in unison, adoring the little reindeer from their respective seats.

"The Straw Hats' archeologist, Nico Robin." Robin said.

"The shipwright Franky. It's SUPER nice to meet you!" Franky hollered, doing his signature pose.

"He's a robot!" Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Ash, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, Orihime, Wendy, Clemont, Bonnie (surprisingly), Chase and Yamaguchi hollered in unison, extremely excited. Even Pikachu, Dedenne and Chespin were excited.

"Humming Swordsman Brook. Pleased to meet you all." Brook said.

"A walking skeleton?!" Naruto, Lucy, Wendy, Levy, Orihime, Lyria, Serena, Yamaguchi, Yachi and Megumi thought in unison, scarred as their bodies turned white.

"By the way, Nami-san… can I see your panties this time?" Brook asked, only to get a powerful kick that sent him flying high into the sky, before falling back down hard as everyone (except for the other Straw Hats) watched with dumbfounded expressions.

"How many times NO! And NOT in front of children!" Nami snapped.

"Idiot." Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Franky and Blizzard thought in unison, deadpanned.

"This is my dog, Blizzard." Luffy said, introducing Blizzard.

Blizzard barked.

"My name is Monkey D. Aika!" Aika hollered, now transformed back into her human form.

"And this is my pup, Kumi." Aika said, holding Kumi.

Kumi yipped.

"She's also my baby sister." Luffy said.

Aika nodded with a smile, causing many of the girls to get all mushy at her cuteness.

"We'll go next." Uryu said, adjusting his glasses.

"In our world, we're known as Soul Reapers who exterminate Hollows and it's our jobs to send souls to the Soul Society, which is a peaceful place for them to rest." Rukia explained.

"We also use swords called Zanpakuto to combat these hollows." Renji explained.

"Rather impressive." Sandalphon commented.

"Are Soul Reapers like g-g-ghosts?" Naruto questioned, trying to put up a brave face when in fact he's terrified of ghosts.

"Something like that - but we're very much alive." Rukia explained, which made Naruto sigh in relief.

"Most humans can't see us, except you guys for some odd reason." Renji explained.

Naruto sighed in relief.

"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki. Substitute Soul Reaper." Ichigo said.

"Lieutenant of Squad 13. Rukia Kuchiki." Rukia explained.

"Uryu Ishida. I'm a Quincy." Uryu explained.

"Quincy?" Laxus asked.

"They're the opposite of the Soul Reapers, despite being capable of sensing spiritual beings and destroying Hollows." Rukia explained, now showing a picture of Quincy, only to be bunny drawings.

"I see your crappy art makes no sense as usual." Ichigo commented, only to get responded by an annoyed Rukia's thrown illustration to his face.

"I'd say it looks like good art." Sai thought, thinking Rukia's style of artistry is good despite it being bad.

"My name is Orihime Inoue!" Orihime hollered.

"Yasutora Sado." Sado explained.

"I'm Squad 6 lieutenant, Renji Abarai!" Renji hollered.

"And this annoying little stuffed pervert is Kon." Ichigo said.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Kon exclaimed.

"We're up next, Captain." Zeta said.

"Sure thing." Gran said.

"My friends and I come from a world that is mostly all in the skies." Gran explained.

"IN THE SKY?!" The Straw Hat Pirates (except Robin) exclaimed in surprise.

"We're mostly called Skydwellers from four different races: humans, draphs, erunes and harvins." Katalina explained.

"And some of us formed a crew to traverse the skies to reach the ends of them." Vyrn added.

"The ends of skies?" Uryu thought, now curious.

"For introductions - I'm the captain of the Grandcypher crew, Gran." Gran introduced.

"You're a captain as well?!" Usopp and Chopper exclaimed in unison, totally surprised.

Luffy smiled at seeing another young captain and call tell he's got many things under his belt.

"My name is Lyria. It's nice to meet you all." Lyria said.

"You guys can call me Vyrn! Gran's best buddy!" Vyrn boasted.

"And I'm Katalina Aryze, protector of Lyria." Katalina introduced.

Erza felt the impression to challenge her to a friendly sparring match to test her mettle.

"As for me and this guy, we're connected to the crew but from different positions." Zeta explained.

"My name Zeta. I'm from the Society dedicated to hunt primal beasts." Zeta explained.

"And I'm the Supreme Primarch, Sandalphon." Sandalphon introduced.

"It seems we're up then." Clemont said, adjusting his glasses.

"Alright!" Ash chirped.

"To start, our group came from a world filled with unique and fantastic creatures called Pokémon." Brad explained.

Shoyo Hinata was literally giddy about Pokémon but Yachi patted his shoulder to keep him from let's say "spoilers".

"There are young Trainers who raise Pokémon for battle or for entertainment as a sign of friendship." Ash explained.

"My name is Ash Ketchum. And my dream is to become a Pokémon Master." Ash explained, which impressed Naruto and Luffy with a dream similar to their's.

"These are my Pokémon: Pikachu, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern, and Goodra." Ash explained, which his Pokémon greeted with love.

"My name is Serena, an aspiring Pokémon performer." Serena explained, giving a wink.

"And these are my Pokémon, Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon." Serena added, showing her trio of Pokémon who posed together.

"My name is Clemont. An inventor and Gym Leader of Luminose City." Clemont explained, adjusting his glasses.

"Meet my Pokémon friends, Chespin, Bunnelby and Luxray." Clemont introducing his 3 Pokémon, who all said hello in their respective language.

"I'm Clemont's little sister, Bonnie!" Bonnie hollered.

"And this is my best friend, Dedenne." Bonnie added, showing her Dedenne.

"Nene!" Dedenne hollered.

"My name is Chase! Ash's best bud!" Chase hollered.

"My Pokémon are Lucario, Litleo, Torterra, Braviary, Clawitzer and Dragonite." Chase explained.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Bradford, a Pokémon Breeder." Brad introduced.

"And these are my three Pokémon: Eeeve, Chansey and Golurk." Brad introducing his Pokémon next.

"Why don't we go next, Yamaguchi-kun?" Yachi asked.

"Sure." Yamaguchi replied.

"Our world's just ordinary. But me and my four friends here are part of the Karasuno High School Volleyball Club in Miyagi Prefecture." Yamaguchi explained.

"VOLLEYBALL?!" Naruto, Hinata Hyuga, Sakura, Fairy Tail (except Laxus), Ichigo, Orihime, Rukia, Renji and the Straw Hats (except Robin) exclaimed in unison.

"Not only that, we're also living counterparts of ourselves from another world that has ninjas both human and anthropomorphic animals - trained in the art of ninjutsu." Kageyama explained, showing his bow as did the other four Karasuno students revealing their own weapons.

"NINJAS?!" Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Aika, Ash, Wendy, Usopp, Chopper, Bonnie and Chase exclaimed in unison, excited.

This impressed the Hidden Leaf ninja to have different ninjas among them, while surprising the Totsuki students/chefs that they share the same "experience".

"They're like us." Soma, Erina, Megumi, Takumi, Hisako and Isshiki thought in unison.

"Back on topic…" Yamaguchi said, before Kageyama went up first.

"First-year starting setter, Tobio Kageyama." Kageyama said.

"First-year middle blocker, Shoyo Hinata!" Shoyo Hinata hollered, in a boisterous manner.

"But you're too small to be a blocker." Bonnie said in a teasing manner, causing Tsukishima and Yamaguchi to hold back their laughter while Clemont face palmed.

"I may not be tall, but I can fly!" Shoyo Hinata declared.

"Middle blocker. First-year. Kei Tsukishima." Tsukishima said.

"First-year middle blocker and pinch server, Tadashi Yamaguchi." Yamaguchi explained.

"Pinch server?" Zeta asked, confused.

"I hear they're the type of player to turn the tide of a match with strong serves to give their team a counterattack opportunity." Uryu explained, logically.

"That's a cool thing, man." Soma commented, making Yamaguchi chuckle.

"A-And H-Hitoka Yachi! First-year manager! Please to meet you!" Yachi hollered, stuttered.

"Why don't we go last, Nakiri-kun." Isshiki said to Erina, being the director and all.

"Absolutely." Erina said, now that her group is up to finish explanations.

"We're pretty much from a Earth just like Hinata-kun and the others." Erina explained, surprising the Karasuno students and earning puzzled looks from the rest.

"In Tokyo, our institution is called Totsuki Culinary Academy where the success rate of graduating is low. It's very much a harsh environment where all young chefs are pitting in many trials to sharpen their skills in the culinary world." Erina continued, causing many of the teenagers among the group to cringe and feel lucky their schools were different.

"At the top of Totsuki are 10 elite chefs governing the entire school aside from its' headmaster are the Elite Council of 10." Erina added, which got many interested.

"We're also, like Hinata-kun and his group, share the skills and memories of our otherworldly counterparts full of monsters and magic." Erina finished while showing her royal sword, surprising the Karasuno students.

"So you guys too? Guess we've got something in common." Shoyo Hinata commented, which made Soma and his peers smile.

"Hailing from different Earths, but share one similarity: being reincarnated souls from other dimensions." Shikamaru theorized.

"My name is Soma Yukihira. First seat of the 10, Totsuki first-year and my cooking is Yukihira Style." Soma introduced, with his white bandanna wrapped around his right arm.

"Yukihira Style?" Lucy asked, confused until Megumi answered "It's his own style of cooking."

"I'm Erina Nakiri. First-year headmistress of the academy and my style of cooking is all kinds." Erina explained.

"HEADMISTRESS?! AWESOME!" Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Ash, Shoyo Hinata, Wendy, Usopp, Chopper, Bonnie, Chase and Brad shouted, getting excited again.

"PIPE DOWN!" Sakura, Lucy, Rukia, Zeta and Hisako yelled in unison.

Tsukishima got annoyed and attempted to say something snarky, but Yamaguchi quickly hit him with a slapstick out of instinct to keep him in line; which the tall blocker didn't argue.

"My name is Takumi Aldini! Totsuki first-year 7th Seat and a specialist in Italian cooking! I am also Yukihira's rival!" Takumi claimed, only for Soma to ignore him as he was patting a very flustered Erina on the head.

"Don't ignore me, Yukihira!" Takumi exclaimed, which Soma turned and gave a sheepish nod. Megumi managed to pat Takumi on the back to calm down his ranting, which he did without complaint.

"And I thought you can be full of yourself sometimes, bro." Bonnie, now teasing his older brother, only to get a dirty look from Clemont.

"My name is Megumi Tadokoro. Totsuki first-year 10th seat. I'm good at vegetables and hospitality foods." Megumi explained, showing confidence.

"Hisako Arato. Totsuki first-year. I'm mostly Erina-sama's secretary and a chef in medicinal cooking." Hisako explained. Wendy looked at her with amazement.

"And last but not least, I'm second-year 2nd seat Satoshi Isshiki! A pleasure to meet my new adorable juniors." Isshiki introduced.

"At least he hasn't done his bad habit yet." Megumi thought, feeling glad Isshiki wasn't wearing nothing but his apron, especially in front of the younger children.

"Now for an important question…" Bonnie said, in a serious manner.

"Would any of you ladies take care of my brother?" Bonnie asked, kneeling down to do her "proposal" gig to the confusion of Hinata Hyuga, Sakura, Lyria, Lucy, Wendy, Orihime, Rukia, Nami, Zeta, Yachi, Erina, Megumi and Hisako.

Bonnie was suddenly grabbed by Clemont's Apimon Arm from his bag and lifted her up to his side, all the while totally embarrassed.

"But why?" Bonnie questioned, pouting.

"I've told to stop that a billion times now!" Clemont exclaimed.

"Trust me, man. I know exactly how you feel." Ichigo thought, understanding Clemont and Bonnie's sibling antics with his own younger twin sisters, Karin and Yuzu.

"Now, now, Bonnie. It would be better if I would marry one of you-" Brad said, trying to be flirtations, but Chansey once again pulled his ear and made him squirm, to everyone's bewilderment.

"Okay, I promise, Chansey!" Brad exclaimed.

Chansey continues to scold her Trainer in annoyance.

"She's saying 'You promised to be on your best behavior around older women'." Chopper explained, translating what the Egg Pokémon is saying.

"Woah, you can understand Pokémon, Chopper?!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Chopper is able to understand what any kind of animal is saying thanks to his Human-Human Fruit. Guess that means any kind of Pokémon is in that category." Robin explained.

"That's really amazing with the addition of being a doctor." Sakura commented.

"Saying that doesn't make me happy~!" Chopper hollered, doing his little dance to deny such a compliment.

"You ain't fooling anyone, bro." Blizzard said.

Kageyama noticed Natsu giving an impassive stare, which started to annoy the starting setter.

"What?" Kageyama asked.

"When I look at you, I see another Gray. And that pisses me off." Natsu answered, which got both Kageyama and Gray deadpanned shocked.

"I agree with Natsu-san. You both give off that ugly look on your faces." Shoyo Hinata mocked.

A second later…

"YOU WANNA SAY THAT AGAIN, DUMBASSES?!" Kageyama shouted, threatening to draw an arrow with his new bow as he is enveloped in a dark blue aura.

"BRING IT ON! WE'LL KICK BOTH YOUR ASSES!" Natsu shouted, enveloped in his fiery orange aura as he ignited both his fists.

"I LIKE TO SEE YOU AND THAT PIPSQUEAK TRY!" Gray shouted, preparing an Ice-Make spell with his shirt off (again!), being enveloped in a blue aura.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Shoyo Hinata angrily asked, drawing his swords as he is enveloped in an orange aura.

Everyone else immediately backed at least a few feet away as the four started fighting comically in a dust cloud.

"Now there's a pattern." Gajeel muttered.

"Well, fire and ice don't usually mix well." Sandalphon explained.

"And I thought you two are bad enough." Sakura said to Naruto and Sasuke, who vehemently deny by whistling. The same is said to Ichigo and Renji, who was getting the stink eye from Rukia.

Yachi was getting nervous at seeing Shoyo Hinata and Kageyama fight again, as they did during the summer and made her scarred. Lucy however, put a comforting hand on Yachi's shoulder, sensing the nervousness coming from the little manager.

"You don't have to worry," Lucy assured. "These things happen all the time at my guild. But it's always a way for friends to settle their disagreements - just as long as things don't go too far."

Yachi was understanding Lucy's point, but can't help but worry a bit.

Natsu and Shoyo Hinata were continuing their bout with Gray and Kageyama, until…

With four mighty blows to the head, Erza silenced the four idiots and got everyone else cowering in fear.

"Enough fighting. Understand?" Erza warned, giving off her signature glare.

"Yes… ma'am…" Natsu, Hinata, Gray and Kageyama groaned in unison.

"Such strength." Shikamaru commented, having a sweat drop on his forehead.

"That's why Erza-san's the scariest in my guild." Wendy added, nervously.

"Anyway… what are we gonna do about the Pokémon that aren't yours?" Nami questioned, pointing to the wild Tyrunt, the male Meowstic, Gogoat, Honedge, Absol, Amaura and Dunsparce.

Ash took out his Pokédex to scan the first four, while Serena took out hers to scan Absol, Amaura and Dunsparce.

"Tyrunt, the Royal Heir Pokémon. A Rock and Dragon type. Tyrunt's jaws are so big and powerful, it can crunch up a car. If it doesn't like something, it responds with a wild tantrum." Ash's Pokédex explained.

"Gogoat, the Mount Pokémon and the evolved form of Skiddo. A Grass type. Gogoat is able to sense its Trainer's feelings by detecting small changes in the grip on its horns. This allows both Trainer and Pokémon to move together as one." Ash's Pokédex explained.

"Meowstic, the Constraint Pokémon. A Psychic type. When faced with trouble, Meowstic will raise its ears and create enough psychic power to demolish a ten-ton truck. Its appearance varies, depending on gender." Ash's Pokédex explained.

"Honedge, the Sword Pokémon. A Steel and Ghost type. It is said that Honedge is actually a spirit living inside a sword." Ash's Pokédex explained.

"Absol, the Disaster Pokémon. A Dark type. When disasters are detected with its horn, Absol comes down from the mountains to warn people." Serena's Pokédex explained.

"Amaura, the Thundra Pokémon. An Ice and Rock type. This calm Pokémon lived in a cold land where there were no violent predators like Tyrantrum." Serena's Pokédex explained.

"Dunsparce, the Land Snake Pokémon. A Normal type. When discovered, the Dunsparce uses its tail to burrow into the earth and evade capture." Serena's Pokédex explained.

"That is a good question." Robin said.

Ash was about to say something, when Tyrunt, Gogoat, the male Meowstic and Honedge all gathered around him, while Absol came to Serena's side, and holding in its' right paw is what appears to be both a Key Stone and an Absolite Mega Stone. Amaura and Dunsparce (while looking to be not impressed) came over to Serena's side too.

"Guess that means we got new Pokémon, Serena." Ash commented, which made Serena blush hard.

Tyrunt, Gogoat, the male Meowstic, Honedge, Absol, Amaura and Dunsparce were glad to have chosen the right trainers, which made Pikachu, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern, Goodra, Braixen, Pancham and Sylveon happy to have new friends.

"Why not make it official?" Clemont asked, which Ash, Serena and Mairin already knew and each took out a Poké Ball, or in Ash's case, 4, and in Serena's case, 3.

"Then let's do it!" Ash hollered, which Serena smiled in agreement.

"Go, Poké Ball!" Ash and Serena hollered in unison, throwing their Poké Balls at the Tyrunt, Gogoat, male Meowstic, Honedge, Absol, Amaura and Dunsparce; the balls opened up and 7 flashes of red light captured each of them.

Each Poké Ball blinked a few times before one-by-one, the capture(s) were complete.

"Alright! I got four new Pokémon!" Ash cheered, followed by cheers from Pikachu, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern and Goodra.

"I caught myself an Absol, an Amaura and a Dunsparce! Alright!" Serena cheered, followed by cheers from Braixen, Pancham and Sylveon.

Everyone else smiled at the sight, especially Naruto, Natsu and Happy, Ichigo, Luffy and Blizzard, Gran and Lyria, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, and even Hinata Hyuga, Lucy, Orihime, Nami, Zeta, Yachi and Erina (who now share a form of closeness with Serena).

"With that done - we should start getting this place up and running." Erza explained.

"Then let's get do work, people!" Naruto commanded.

"RIGHT!" The eight hero groups all shouted in unison.

Next time: Chapter 3 - Team Rocket Attacks.

Chapter Text

Chapter 3 - Team Rocket Attacks

???, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City

Naruto and Natsu lifted some wooden planks with bravado, but the weight of the ones they were lifting were too much and ended up collapsing on their heads.

"Ouch." Happy muttered.

"That's what you idiots get for carrying so much." Gray mocked, carrying only one wooden bar with his left arm hung over the side of his head; and shirtless again.

"You two losers are hopeless." Sasuke added, carrying several two small boxes with both hands.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Naruto and Natsu snapped in unison, pushing the planks off of them after being insulted.

Natsu and Gray clashed heads again, while Naruto got up to Sasuke's face, who didn't even bother to budge back.

"You punks have a problem?" Gray asked, in a taunting manner.

"A problem with your stupid faces!" Natau answered.

"And your insults are getting boring!" Naruto added, which Sasuke didn't answer back to the Nine-Tails jinchuriki's aggravation.

Suddenly, a large steel smacked the heads of Naruto, Natsu and Gray to the ground in a manner like Wack-a-Mole. Only Sasuke avoided with ease.

"Enough arguing! We have a lot of work to do!" Erza, having used her Magic to dress up like a construction worker, chided.

"Aye…" Naruto, Natsu and Gray groaned.

Watching from the sidelines were Gran and Vyrn, Happy, Laxus, Shikamaru and Sandalphon, who all simply sighed.

"I swear." Sandalphon muttered.

2 hours have now passed and the eight groups are already working on building their new headquarters, starting with the outside first. Several groups were out getting Earth-based supplies like food, clothing, furniture, etc.

There are some things from other worlds like multiple boxes of Pokémon Berries of multiple varieties for the Pokémon, the Thousand Sunny (which is currently covered up in a large white sheet to conceal its' appearance), ninja tools such as shuriken and kunai in boxes, Soul Reaper and Magic items that are locked in sturdy boxes, among other things.

The only ones at the base were Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Carla, Lily, Blizzard, Kumi, Kon, Gran, Vyrn, Ash, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Gray, Erza, Laxus, Franky, Brook and Sandalphon, plus all of the Pokémon and the loyal horses of Takumi and Isshiki, Mustang and Charlie, staying behind to get started on outside work.

(A/N: Totally forgot about those two. My mistake.)

"It's a little to early to be fooling around when we still have work to do." Laxus said.

Franky, who just finished all the outside tables and chairs, did his signature pose.

"You guys don't have to worry about all that. Things like this are best to keep the mood going." Franky explained, getting annoyed looks from the Lightning Dragon Slayer and Supreme Primarch.

"I do hope Aika is okay on her own." Kumi said, worried.

"You don't have to worry. Wendy is looking after her." Carla assured, which did give the Akita pup some comfort.

"We can't risk going if people of this world freak out at seeing us talking cats or living Pokémon." Lily explained.

"Plus, Franky and Brook are abnormally weird and volunteered to stay as well." Blizzard said.

"Pika…" Pikachu said, agreeing with the wolfdog.

Pikachu then looked to see Ash getting to know the moves of his Tyrunt, Gogoat, Meowstic and Honedge with their teachers being five first Kalos Pokémon.

"Alright, guys! Let's get started on training you the best you can be!" Ash hollered.

Pikachu's mood soon brightens and quickly ran to his partner's side, who immediately returned by lifting the Mouse Pokémon up.

"And let's not forget you, buddy." Ash said.

"Pikapi!" Pikachu hollered.

"Just try not to damage anything, kid." Laxus warned.

"Don't be a killjoy, Laxus." Natsu pouted, only to get silenced by a glare.

"You have no room to talk." Laxus said.

XXX

Soon enough, Ash had Pikachu practice with Greninja, Tyrunt with Noivern, Gogoat with Goodra, Meowstic with Hawlucha, and Honedge with Talonflame with enough space for each of them.

Naruto and the others took breaks to watch the practice matches.

"Looks like we get to see what a battle between Pokémon is all about." Naruto said.

"Guess this little break has some merit." Sasuke said.

"Makes me wanna get in on the action." Natsu said.

"I think you should calm down, man." Gran said.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Let's go!" Ash commanded.

"Piiika-Chuuuuuu!" Pikachu shouted, firing a powerful bolt of electricity at Greninja.

"Greninja! Dodge and use Water Shuriken!" Ash commanded.

Greninja flipped backwards to dodge the Thunderbolt and generated a large shuriken made of water from his hands at Pikachu, who dodged effortlessly.

"Tyrunt, use Bite! Noivern! Match that with Dragon Claw!" Ash commanded.

Tyrunt jumped towards Noivern and attempted to bite the bat-like dragon Pokémon, but Noivern countered with green-empowered claws to intercept the Bite attack.

"Gogoat! Use Vine Whip! Goodra, endure that with Bide!" Ash commanded.

Gogoat shot out a pair of vines from the bushes on its' head and lashed them at Goodra, who stood its' ground to endure the assault, gaining power from the pain.

"Hawlucha, use Karate Chop! Meowstic, dodge then counter with Psyshock!" Ash commanded.

Hawlucha attacked Meowstic with a glowing claw and wing to strike with swiftness, but the Psychic-type Pokémon gracefully dodged then fired three dark purple beams at Hawlucha, scoring a direct hit.

"Talonflame! Use Flame Charge! And Honedge, counter that with Slash!" Ash commanded.

Talonflame coated itself in fire and charged faster than the naked eye, meeting a powerful white blade from Honedge itself, leaving an even match between the two.

To command like 10 Pokémon all at once in a training match is quite the sight. As expected of a talented young Trainer like Ash.

Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Carla, Lily, Blizzard, Kumi, Kon, Gran, Vyrn, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Gray, Erza, Laxus, Franky, Brook and Sandalphon were all impressed, while the Pokémon (both old and new) of Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase and Brad were cheering hard and feel like training themselves. Especially all of Chase's Pokémon who wanted to get in on the action, but would feel weird without their own Trainer to be a part of it since he likes having training matches with Ash.

Dunsparce couldn't care less and wanted to sneak off, but Absol gave off a side glare and forced the Land Snake Pokémon to behave.

Ash was about to make the next move when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the distance.

"Hey, guys! We're back with all our items! Plus some lunch!" Serena called out, joined by the rest of the gang who all got back from their errands, plus brining lunch like mainly hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries and drinks like sodas and water in plastic bags cooked fresh. Luffy was being pulled by Nami in the ear to keep him from eating all the food selfishly without sharing.

"Alright, everyone! Let's stop right there! Good work!" Ash commented, which Pikachu and the others agreed with cheer.

"LUNCH TIME~!" Naruto and Natsu shouted.

But from the distance, they were unaware they were being watched.

XXX

Everyone gathered around to enjoy their lunch together. Even the Pokemon were enjoying their first round of Berries to keep their stomachs full.

"SO GOOD~!" Naruto, Natsu, Luffy, Ash and Shoyo Hinata shouted, talking while eating.

"EAT FIRST! THEN TALK!" Erza snapped, causing the five to freeze up, getting snickering laughs from mostly Tsukishima and Yamaguchi.

Erina herself didn't criticize the food because of her God Tongue because she's in very good company that doesn't bring it out, despite her extremely sensitive palette.

Blizzard's ears suddenly twitched when he heard something and quickly moved out of the way, but Happy, Pikachu, Dedenne, Litleo, Eeeve, Carla, Lily, Kumi, Kon and Vyrn were captured, alerting the whole group.

"Hey!" Ichigo hollered.

"Who the heck did that?!" Soma questioned.

A trio of snickering came from the sky, causing everyone to look up and see an air balloon with a strangely familiar head-shaped.

Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase and Brad grimaced upon seeing who is really behind this.

XXX

Prepare for trouble!

And make it double!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Meowth! That's right!

From that narration, it is none other than the three arch-nemesis of Ash and Pikachu: the Team Rocket Trio of Jessie, James and the talking Meowth, along with Jessie's Wobbuffet and James' Mime Jr.

XXX

"Team Rocket!" Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase and Brad hollered in unison.

"Not these jerks!" Shoyo Hinata and Yamaguchi thought, totally annoyed upon recognizing who they are.

Sanji had heart-shaped eyes upon seeing Jessie, but Sakura bashed his head to silence him.

"Who the heck are these creeps?" Soma asked.

"Bad guys who always try to steal other people's Pokémon." Ash answered.

"What the heck are you guys up to?" Serena demanded.

"Isn't it obvious, Tweerpet. Stealing Pikachu as our No. 1 Goal!" Jessie declared.

"Along with stealing all these Pokémon here." James added.

"But we're not Pokémon!" Happy, Carla, Lily, Kon, Kumi and Vyrn snapped in unison.

"Maybe so, but you guys are quite the specimens to be caught." Meowth explained, in a smug manner.

"Is that a talking Pokémon?! So cool!" Luffy hollered, in excitement with stars in his eyes. But Chase smacked the back of his head.

"You idiot! They have your sister's puppy!" Chase snapped.

"If you know whats good for you scum, release them this instant!" Erza hollered, summoning a sword as she transformed back into her regular armor. Katalina did the same with her drawn sword in anger upon seeing Vyrn harmed.

"Oh, please. Like empty threats will stop us." Jessie bragged.

"We have the advantage." James said.

"Don't you twerps even try anything. This electro-proof need will keep any unwanted zaps away." Meowth explained, angering the heroes.

But two among them had other ideas and came to be Sasuke and Zoro, who respectively slashed both the net and the balloon, the net cut open to free the captives which Happy, Carla, Lily and Vyrn carried each carrying Pikachu, Dedenee, Litleo, Eeeve, Kon and Kumi respectively to Team Rocket's shock.

"THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?!" Jessie, James and Meowth cried out in shock. Wobbuffet and Mime Jr. sighed in depression.

Team Rocket's balloon came crashing down hard as the eight captives flew back to the gang unharmed.

"You okay, buddy?" Ash asked, which Pikachu responded with a raised up fist.

"Glad you're okay, pal." Natsu said, ruffing Happy's head, who smiled in return.

Wendy, Bonnie, Chase, Brad and Aika hugged their partners in total relief. Vyrn flew beside Gran and Lyria, both totally glad the little dragon wasn't harmed. Ichigo and Kon didn't look at each other out of their usual batter, but the Substitute Soul Reaper was glad his Mod-Soul partner was alright.

"Nice work, you two." Naruto commented, which Sasuke and Zoro didn't answer as they put their swords away.

Team Rocket quickly recovered from their fall, now battle-ready with a pair of Poké Balls in their hands.

"If you twerps wanna a fight…" Jessie said.

"… you'll all get one!" James hollered.

"Go! Seviper and Gourgeist!" Jessie hollered, calling out both Seviper (who hissed) and Gourgeist (who danced)

"Time to play - Inkay and Yamask!" James hollered, calling out his Inkay and Yamask.

"We'll take care of them!" Naruto declared, tightening his headband a bit as he got ready to fight.

And he's not alone.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsu hollered, mashing his fists together.

"Bring it!" Ichigo hollered, entering his Soul Reaper form and drawing out Zangetsu.

"Shishishi! I'm getting excited." Luffy laughed, cracking his knuckles.

"I want in as well." Blizzard said, snarling.

"You ready, Pikachu?" Ash asked, adjusting his hat as his main battling partner was all set and raring to go.

"Pika!" Pikachu hollered, generating electricity from his cheeks.

"Lyria. You and Vyrn stay with the others." Gran ordered, drawing his sword.

"Right!" Lyria hollered, falling back to watch alongside Vyrn.

"Guess we have to teach them a lesson." Shoyo Hinata said, drawing his Ninjatō swords.

"Can't wait myself!" Soma hollered, mashing his metallic fists together.

"Seviper, Poison Tail! Gourgeist, Dark Pulse!" Jessie commanded.

Seviper's sharp tail turned purpled and lashed forward, while Gourgeist shot a beam of purple rings made of dark energy from her mouth.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted, creating two clones of himself that charged forward and quickly took the hits, allowing the real Naruto to jump upward and create two more to deliver two drop kicks to the head, making them dizzy for Natsu and Luffy to follow up.

"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu shouted.

"Gum-Gum Pistol!" Luffy shouted.

Natsu and Luffy combined their fist attacks to knock out both the Fang Snake and Pumpkin Pokémon to Jessie's shock.

"Down in one hit?!" Jessie exclaimed.

"Inkay, use Psybeam! Yamask, use Shadow Ball!" James commanded.

Inkay fired a streaky blue blast with pink circles by hanging upside down while Yamask fires a ball of dark purple energy but Gran and Shoyo Hinata cleaved the attacks in two with their swords.

"Since when can twerps like them do that?!" Meowth questioned.

"Pikachu, Quick Attack! Let's go!" Ash commanded.

"Pikachu-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pika!" Pikachu hollered, unleashing a devastating super fast charge on Inkay, knocking him out.

Ichigo used Flash Step to help Soma get behind and grabbed Yamask by the arms with his gauntlets coated with red magical energy and threw him straight at Wobbufett and Mime Jr.; knocking all three out at once.

"My poor Inkay and Yamask!" James cried, in shock.

"Then let me have a crack at these punks with my Fury Swipes!" Meowth hollered, attempting to slash his claws glowing sharp. But Blizzard was one step ahead.

"Why not try my X-Fang!" Blizzard shouted, firing an X-shaped air blast that hammered Meowth hard right into Jessie and James.

"Now let's finish this!" Naruto hollered.

"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted.

"Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu shouted.

"Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo shouted.

"Gum-Gum Bazooka!" Luffy shouted.

"Bullet Fang!" Blizzard shouted.

"Reginleiv!" Gran shouted.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt - let's go!" Ash commanded.

"Piiika-Chuuuuuu!" Pikachu shouted.

"Dragon Fang!" Shoyo Hinata shouted.

"Super Hammer Fist!" Soma shouted.

All nine combined their attacks at Team Rocket, generating a massive explosion that sent them flying.

"If I had known our Twerps have freakishly powerful new friends, I would've called ahead!" Jessie whined.

"Guess there's plenty we don't know about." James muttered.

"In the meantime, let's say this…" Meowth said with dread.

"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN~!" Jessie, James and Meowth screamed in unison, followed by whines from Wobbufett, Mime Jr., Seviper, Gourgeist, Inkay and Yamask.

XXX

"Alright!" Naruto, Natsu, Ichigo, Luffy, Gran, Ash, Shoyo Hinata and Soma hollered in unison, doing a hi-five together.

"Heck yeah!" Blizzard howled.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu hollered, jumping on Blizzard's back.

"They kicked their butts!" Happy hollered.

The rest of the gang cheered or smiled, even people like Sasuke, Laxus, Sandalphon and Tsukishima let out smiles of their own even if they didn't want anyone to see their good moods.

"Guess we now know those creeps are here again." Serena said, in annoyance.

"They sure will never learn." Brad said, also annoyed.

"Who cares! If they try attacking us again, we'll send them flying!" Natsu boasted.

Pikachu suddenly felt his cheeks being pinched by a curious Luffy.

"Shishishi! You sure remind me of a Pikachu I fought with." Luffy commented.

(A/N: You can guess which One Piece x Pokémon I'm talking about.)

"Uh, Mr. Luffy! I think you should be careful!" Ash warned, but Luffy didn't listen as he kept pinching Pikachu's cheeks.

This greatly annoyed Pikachu and without warning…

"Piiika-Chuuuuuu!" Pikachu shouted, unleashing a massive Thunderbolt that zapped pretty much everyone in a comical big explosion.

When the dust settled, most likely Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Ichigo, Kon, Blizzard, Gran, Lyria, Vyrn, Ash, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Noivern, Goodra, Tyrunt, Gogoat, Meowstic, Honedge, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, Hinata Hyuga, Sakura, Sai, Shikamaru, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, Carla, Juvia, Lily, Levy, Orihime, Rukia, Uryu, Sado, Renji, Nami, Aika, Kumi, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, Brook, Zeta, Katalina, Braixen, Pancham, Sylveon, Amaura, Clemont, Chespin, Bunnelby, Bonnie, Chase, Lucario, Litleo, Braviary, Clawitzer, Dragonite, Brad, Eeeve, Chansey, Yachi, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Erina, Megumi, Takumi, Mustang, Hisako, Isshiki and Charlie got zapped.

Only Luffy (thanks to his rubber powers making him immune to all forms of electricity), Sasuke (who easily dodged to the side), Erza (who requipped into her Thunder Empress Armor to cancel the electricity coming to her), Gajeel (using his Iron Dragon Club like a lightning rod to shoot the electricity upwards), Laxus (having absorbed most of the electricity), Luxray, Dedenne and Emolga (being immune due to being Electric-types), Robin (who hid behind Laxus to avoid getting hit), Serena (who managed to instinctively get being Erza), Absol (who followed his Trainer right behind with a protective instinct), Dunsparce (who quickly fled underground using Dig), Torterra and Golurk (both being Ground-types which makes them totally immune to Electric type attacks) and Sandalphon (who also dodged like Sasuke without effort).

Pikachu became confused as Luffy laughed without a care.

"So cool!" A voice hollered, alerting everyone to see from the front entrance three similar teenagers with the middle one excited and the other two sighed upon being busted.

Chapter 4 - New Friends

?, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City

"YOU IDIOT!"

Followed by the loud angry voice of Nami, multiple sounds of pummeling soon followed as she began her punishment on Luffy for his little "prank" with Pikachu. Everyone around, including the 3 new visitors, quickly backed away out of fear.

"I-I'm… sorry…" Luffy groaned.

"Do another stunt like that again and you'll have no meat privileges for 2 months!" Nami hollered, which Luffy quickly agreed; nothing is worse than not having meat in one's belly.

"Yes… ma'am…" Luffy said.

"Scary!" Lyria, Wendy, Chopper and Bonnie thought in unison, terrified while holding onto each other tight.

"And apologize to Pikachu as well." Nami sternly said, as Pikachu himself laughed sheepishly, as did Ash.

"Don't worry about it. My buddy can be very sensitive with his space sometimes." Ash assured.

"But damn, that was one powerful zap." Naruto commented.

"He sure can give Laxus a run for his money." Natsu commented, flexing his right shoulder and arm.

"Sure can." Laxus muttered, which Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy heard thanks to their heightened hearing, only for them to be quiet from a glare from the Lightning Dragon Slayer.

"Okay, let's get back on topic to meeting our first new guests, please?" Zeta asked.

"Oh! Sorry for not introducing ourselves!" The first teenager hollered, getting nervous.

"M-my name is Taichi Rivers!" Taichi, being the first teen among the three, introduced himself.

"Name's Sam Watson. A pleasure." Sam introduced.

"And I can't believe I'm seeing real life Pokémon!" Sam thought, gushing upon seeing the Pokémon owned by Ash and his group.

"And I'm Alison Watson. Nice to meet you all." Alison introduced.

"Well, hey! I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto introduced.

"Natsu Dragneel. And this is my bud, Happy." Natsu introduced, while introducing his best friend.

"Aye!" Happy hollered.

"Ichigo Kurosaki. A pleasure." Ichigo introduced.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" Luffy hollered.

"And this my pet, Blizzard." Luffy introducing Blizzard.

Blizzard barked.

"Name's Gran. And this is Lyria and Vyrn." Gran explained, introducing himself along with his two most trusted companions.

"Hello." Lyria said.

"Yo!" Vyrn hollered.

"I'm Ash Ketchum, and this is my partner Pikachu." Ash introduced, to both himself and his signature Pokémon.

"Pika-Pika!" Pikachu hollered.

"Name's Shoyo Hinata!" Shoyo Hinata introduced.

"I'm Soma Yukihira." Soma introduced.

"And these are my friends from the Hidden Leaf Village: Hinata, Sasuke, Sakura, Sai and Shikamaru." Naruto introducing Hinata Hyuga, Sasuke, Sakura, Sai and Shikamaru, who all nodded.

"Meet my guildmates from Fairy Tail: Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy and Carla, Juvia, Gajeel and Lily, Levy and Laxus." Natsu introducing his fellow Fairy Tail guild members next.

"These are my friends: Kon, Orihime, Rukia, Uryu, Chad and Renji." Ichigo introducing his friends as the third group.

"This is my crew of Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook and my little sister Aika and her partner Kumi." Luffy introducing his Straw Hat crew fourth.

"You can call them Katalina, Zeta and Sandalphon." Gran now introducing the few people among his group.

"These are my friends Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase and Brad. Plus all our Pokémon." Ash introducing his friends and all the Pokémon from Greninja to Golurk.

"Meet my teammates Hitoka, Kageyama, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi." Shoyo Hinata introducing his Karasuno club mates.

"And these are my schoolmates Erina, Tadokoro, Takumi, Arato and Isshiki-senpai." Soma introducing his fellow chefs last.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Alison said.

"Isn't it weird that were speaking to Americans and they can understand our language?" Takumi whispered, getting close to fellow Earth-based Japanese among their group like Yachi and Uryu.

"It might have something to do with Ms. Cosmos granting us to totally understand different languages, even if they aren't our own." Yachi whispered.

"Possibly. Why else would they, like all of you, see actual Soul Reapers?" Uryu whispered.

"Anyway… what brings you three here?" Hinata Hyuga asked.

"Well, a few hours ago there was a bright flash near Fifth Avenue that we happen to see and all three of us got curiosity to check it out." Sam answered.

"Guess we weren't being inconspicuous enough." Shikamaru commented.

"Inconspicuous?" Natsu, Luffy and Shoyo Hinata asked in unison, totally lost.

"It means not noticeable or out of sight, dimwits." Tsukishima sneered, getting annoyed expressions from the Dragon Slayer, Straw Hat Captain and Karasuno decoy.

"We appreciate meeting you, but…" Katalina explained, trying not to sound to harsh in sending them away likely to keep other people from getting involved.

"Oh, don't worry! We were just curious and saw what happened. We promise not to be in the way." Taichi assured.

"What he said." Alison agreed.

"R-Really?" Sam questioned, a little confused.

"Hold on now." Naruto interjected.

"They are kinda now involved when they saw us kick the butts of those three crooks." Naruto explained.

"But Naruto-" Sakura tried to interrupt, but now Laxus jumped in.

"It would hurt to have people who know their way around this city. Maybe this world." Laxus explained, shocking his fellow Fairy Tail members.

"Is that Laxus talking?! Or someone else?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"That is almost a surprising argument there." Erza commented.

"Yeah. Having new friends wouldn't hurt." Lyria said.

Everyone see no harm in the logic despite potential risks, and decided to take a chance.

"Why don't you three show us around here." Katalina said, despite her earlier statement, she decided to go along with this, especially if her captain and Lyria want to do this.

"Wait, what?!" Taichi, Sam and Alison questioned in unison, taken aback by what they just heard.

"You mind showing some of us around this place so we can get used to it?" Isshiki asked.

"S-Sure! There's actually a hockey game going on at the Madison Square Garden today between the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils around 5 PM. We can still make it in time if anyone is interested." Taichi answered.

"A hockey game? For real?!" Shoyo Hinata and Kageyama exclaimed.

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's all go and-" Usopp said as he got ready to head out, but Erza grabbed him hard by the shoulder to stop the sniper in his tracks.

"Hold it! Only those 16 and younger can go." Erza ordered, surprising everyone present.

"HUH?! WHY CAN'T WE GO?!" Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Orihime, Usopp, Chopper and Zeta exclaimed in unison.

"Because the oldest among us still have to get this place up and running. Including those close to the age of 18." Erza explained.

"So that means the little kids can go too?" Aika asked, getting excited.

"Yep. But no pets allowed, I'm afraid." Sam explained.

"Oh…" Aika said, feeling down that she won't have Kumi with her.

Luffy and Nami were a little unsure for Aika to be out on her own. Especially when she gets into trouble.

"Don't worry. I can look after." Wendy interjected.

"Same here." Serena explained.

"Leave her safety to us!" Bonnie declared.

Luffy and Nami smiled.

"Then there's nothing to worry about." Luffy said.

"Yay!" Aika hollered, already holding Serena's hand first.

"C'mon! Let's get to the Square Garden! Follow me!" Sam hollered, already running out.

"H-Hey, Sam! Hold up!" Taichi hollered, trying to call out to his friend to no avail before following him.

"We haven't given them directions yet!" Alison hollered, chasing after the two boys.

"Well then, gang! To Madison Square Garden!" Shoyo Hinata hollered, already making a mad dash after the new friends.

"You got a head start, dumbass!" Kageyama hollered, chasing after his rival and partner for another "competition".

"Wait for us!" Lyria, Ash, Soma, Takumi and Bonnie hollered in unison.

Gran, Serena, Clemont, Chase, Brad, Yachi, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Erina, Megumi and Hisako sighed before chasing after them as well, leaving the oldest among them (including Hinata Hyuga despite still being 16 herself but willing to stay and help) along with all the pets and Pokémon.

"Guess we still got constructing to do." Shikamaru ordered.

"Yay…" Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Orihime, Usopp, Chopper and Zeta in unison, depressed.

Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, New York City

"And… GOAL!" The announcer shouted, saying so after a shot from one of the New York Rangers scoring another goal.

"That shot was incredible!" Ash chirped.

"Yeah! He just 'woosh' then 'boom'!" Shoyo Hinata hollered.

"More like 'bam' and 'pow'!" Chase hollered.

"Use your words, idiot." Tsukishima muttered, chewing on a baked pretzel.

"Behave yourself, Tsukki." Yamaguchi chided.

It was likely the final stretch of the game that the group of this team age 16 and below made it to in time with their three Earth friends, having arrived quite like an hour early to buy extra tickets (most likely thanks to Erina's wealthy influence at the new Totsuki headmistress) and get early seats straight near the clear walls to see the full game. Needless to say everyone were enjoying the ice hockey game so far.

"Yep. It may not be volleyball, but it is nice to watch other sports." Kageyama commented, surprising wanting to see another sport than just volleyball.

"It sure was worth coming to watch." Clemont said, getting interested.

"All thanks to Erina-sama's influence." Hisako commented.

"My family has some American connections thanks to grandfather and Alice." Erina explained, irritated at the last part mentioning her Danish cousin.

"Now, now." Megumi said, trying to keep Erina calm.

"Wow! This is what hockey is like!" Bonnie hollered, having star-shaped eyes.

"It's the coolest!" Aika commented, also having the same eye shape as Bonnie out of excitement.

"Totally the coolest!" Lyria cheered, feeling more excited than she's ever been in her skyfaring adventures.

"They sure seem hyped up." Brad commented, chewing on nachos with cheese dip.

"This feels like a first time for everyone in New York, and it is amazing." Soma commented.

"Indeed. This does seem like a nice way to relax after all that we've been through." Takumi added.

"I really hope next time the others can come here and watch." Wendy explained, drinking some water after she finished taking.

"That might be an issue for some." Yachi nervously said, thinking about some worse case scenarios in mind.

"But we can watch on TV when we get the place up and running." Serena suggested.

"Well a TV or two is on our list of things to get anyone starting tomorrow - which is smart." Gran explained.

Taichi, Sam and Alison all smiled at the conversations the others are having.

"Looks like they're all having a good time." Alison commented.

"See! What could ever go wrong?" Sam questioned.

"Say that the 'wrong' way and a lot." Taichi argued, which Sam responded with his tongue playfully sticking out.

XXX

"It is now the final stretch and the Rangers have one chance to take this match!" The announcer declared; the match between the Rangers and Devils now reaching the climax with only one point to claim for the Rangers if they make this shot.

Gran, Ash, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, Lyria, Wendy, Aika, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase, Brad, Yachi, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Erina, Megumi, Takumi, Hisako, Taichi, Sam and Alison all watched intensely to see the final outcome.

"Get it! GET IT!" Gran, Ash, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, Lyria, Wendy, Aika, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase, Brad, Yachi, Kageyama, Yamaguchi, Erina, Megumi, Takumi, Hisako, Taichi, Sam and Alison all thought in unison, hoping the Rangers get the last shot in.

On the ice rink, the Rangers were facing the Devils fiercely; both sides trying to make their move only to be stuck in some kind of equilibrium with one side trying to break the balance.

Soon enough, one of the Rangers made a fast break past some defenders with incredible skill, eventually swinging his hockey stick with strong force that blew past the goalie and made it into the goal, scoring as the alarm went off.

"And… GOAL~! THE RANGERS WIN THE GAME!" The announcer declared.

The whole audience went wild as the New York Rangers cheered in their victory over the Devils.

But no one is more happier than Gran, Shoyo Hinata, Ash, Soma and all the others.

"ALRIGHT~!" Gran, Ash, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, Lyria, Wendy, Aika, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase, Brad, Yachi, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Erina, Megumi, Takumi, Hisako, Taichi, Sam and Alison screamed in unison. Tsukishima only smirked but didn't want anyone to see that.

Serena hugged Ash out of impulse, causing the two to freeze and blush bright red before separating.

Shoyo Hinata, Yachi, Soma, Erina and Bonnie all smirked at the sight.

XXX

It is now likely 8:56 PM and the 23 teens are now at the front entrance of the group's new home after seeing the game finished and nightfall was upon them.

"Aw, man! I feel so moved in my life like that!" Soma chirped.

"It was really great to meet you guys." Gran said, holding his hand out which Sam shook with good will.

"No problem. And next time we'll bring the older ones to something fun." Sam explained.

The 20 kids/teens all nervously nodded, knowing that most of their oldest members can go overboard and cause trouble.

(A/N: We all know some of them are capable of trouble themselves.)

"We gotta go. Getting late." Alison said, which Taichi and Sam nodded and all three waved goodbye.

"Hope to see you all and everyone else again someday." Taichi said.

"You too." Ash said.

"Take care!" Shoyo Hinata hollered, as he Gran, Ash, Soma, Lyria, Wendy, Aika, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Chase, Brad, Yachi, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Erina, Megumi, Takumi and Hisako all waved goodbye; Taichi, Sam and Alison all did the same as they started to leave.

Once the three were out of reach, the 20 kids went through the gate and see the older members having stew for dinner all gathered outside at the newly built wooden tables and chairs with lanterns out for light.

"Having dinner without us?" Erina questioned.

"Sorry. You guys were kinda late so we had Sanji-kun and Isshiki make just beef or vegetable stew tonight." Nami explained.

"Man. We could've helped with that." Takumi said.

"Don't say that, Aldini-kun. You youngsters have every right to be having fun today." Isshiki explained.

"Wait. Is Isshiki-senpai normally dressed?" Soma and Megumi thought in unison, surprised at seeing Isshiki dressed in his normal clothes and not in his… well…

"Hey, big brother!" Aika hollered, rushing to Luffy, who eagerly took her in his arms and lifted her up.

"So you had fun?" Luffy asked, which Aika nodded with a smile.

"Shishishi!" Luffy and Aika laughed in unison.

"But now that you're all back…" Isshiki said.

"… it's time for us all to enjoy our first dinner!" Isshiki hollered, taking off his clothes and wearing nothing but his usual apron.

The 2nd Seat's sudden change freaked out almost everyone except Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Sasuke, Sai, Shikamaru, Laxus, Zoro, Franky and Sado. Even Erina and Hisako (the latter quickly covering the eyes of Wendy and Bonnie, with Katalina quickly covering the eyes of Lyria and Aika) were still freaking out themselves.

Chapter 5 - Start of a New Day

Guild Hall, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City

Dear Mom,

Let me tell you things have gotten to what I'd say… crazy. Lately, my guildmates and I got dragged into some kind of other war between two super powerful beings named Cosmos and Chaos, fighting over 9 crystal pieces that would grant Chaos power that would spell the end of not just our world, but the world my guild and I are right now in, and even the entire multiverse.

But luckily, it's not just me and Fairy Tail that's gonna stop him. We've got tons of new friends to help us! There's like ninjas, good pirates, Soul Reapers, a Quincy and two special humans, kids with wonderful creatures called Pokémon, skyfarers, an archangel, and teenagers with powers from other world counterparts.

They're like the guild in many ways. But every one of them are really nice and kind. Except for a few who have 'some' attitude problems.

I even made some close connections with some of the new girls I befriended: Hinata Hyuga, who is really sweet and a serious hard worker.

Orihime Inoue, while clumsy and scatterbrained, is very adorable and really cares about us.

Nami, who is a lot like me when it comes to dealing with idiots in our groups and act as the mature ones. Though, she goes overboard with money.

Zeta, a wild girl who loves a good challenge and acts like a teenage rebel. Gotta love her for spirit.

Serena, and she's an amazing dancer for someone so young. Like 2 years younger than Wendy but more mature and focused. Her Pokémon are really well organized and full of talent and don't give her TOO much of a hard time. Well, except for her Dunsparce, but he has his moments. Something my spirits could work with.

Hitoka Yachi, very shy and bit of a scaredy cat, yet she has a taste in design and management and doesn't run from responsibility. Just need to work on her courage a bit more.

And Erina Nakiri, who is almost as old as I am and already running a massive culinary institute, with a divine tongue to match when it comes to foods that suit her tastes. But she does like being a normal teenager from time to time and loves to read shojou manga; I would love to read one sometime.

Things aren't going to be that easy, but I believe we'll get through this no matter what comes our way. Wish me luck, Mom.

Love,

Lucy

Lucy, currently dressed in a casual pink sleeveless shirt, black shorts and her hair completely lose with no hair style, just finished writing another letter and put down her pen to let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Lucy! You done writing yet?" Natsu called out, making Lucy shriek in fright.

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM, NATSU!" Lucy snapped, turning her head to see not just Natsu, but with him. There's Happy, Luffy and Blizzard.

"Uh, Lucy… this is our room." Happy corrected.

"She doesn't want to admit this room has the five of us plus Nami, Aika and Kumi." Blizzard explained.

Luffy snickered.

Lucy groaned in frustration.

"Remind me again why I am living in a room with you four idiots when it couldn't just be us girls?" Lucy questioned.

"Blame Erza and Isshiki-san for that." Natsu answered, which he received a blank look from the Celestial wizard.

A week has now passed since the eight groups came together and are settling in the new abandoned building from top to bottom on 721 Fifth Avenue quite nicely; it is now called, by Fairy Tail's suggestion, the "Guild Hall". It has up to five floors, a basement and a sub-basement: the outside exterior largely resembles the Fairy Tail Guild Hall top to bottom, including the large bell over a dome-like structure (which is the fifth floor), the front banner now symbolizing the Alliance with a white clover leaf with blue and red edges, two smaller banners (one for Japan and one for the USA), and aside from the rest of the design, there is a greenhouse to the left mostly for plants, agriculture and Pokémon berries, and next to it is a small stable for Takumi and Isshiki's horses Mustang and Charlie; and to the right is a large rectangular two-floor garage with the width 53'0" and depth 41'0", the outside mostly made out of sturdy metal and the inside basically wood, stone and other materials used to make a garage with four doors in the back and in the front automatic open doors with the first floor having a road that leads all the way to a back gate. Inside is the workshop used for mechanical engineering and technology manufacturing, along with 4 vehicles under construction. The second floor of the garage is also, as said before, under construction with 2 more vehicles (that are built for the air) still being made in the process.

All floors from five to the sub-basement have both elevators and stairs depending on which one to choose. The top fifth floor is completely outside with the bell above, has at least 3 separate solid wood benches with one on the front, and two to the side.

Floors four to three cover 6 rooms (3 on the fourth floor and 3 on the third floor) for about 24 people each that can fit to at least 4 to likely 6 people (or more if including some pets) with each room having 4 separate beds (or 6 with two bunk beds) and sometimes 1 bed for any animal members to sleep in), two separate lamp walls, windows with hang-up sheets near two beds, two separate desks (one large and one small; while the third floor has one desk), a small TV on one of the desks, a large carpet, and a large closet, with air conditioning and heating. The floors each have 1 large bathroom with the boys bathroom on the third floor and the girls on the fourth floor with automated linen service/housekeeping and laundry service.

The third floor also has a large study hall that includes a quite reading area at the end of the third floor rooms, a vault room where they house the most powerful and dangerous artifacts that isn't in use yet, a Pokémon Stable where all the Pokémon members can mingle and sleep in outside of their Poké-Balls with toys and games, 2 separate classrooms with studies on Real World learning about Mythology, Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Japanese, Home Economics, Technology and Arts, and a media gallery on art projects and souvenirs.

The second floor has only a large gymnasium area for sports practice that covers half of the second floor with the additions of a locker room with two showers and a small bathroom (with boys on one side and girls on the other), while the other half has a second gym that has weight lifting equipment for physical training.

The first floor covers the front entrance, which also has aside from the 20 to 30 restaurant tables is an outside interior pool, a stage for practicing in music concerts, performance dancing and the like, two public restrooms with showers, a large TV hanging above the stage, a game room with so far a pool table, a dartboard and a pinball game with "Star Trek", a large waiting room, a library, an information desk, a kitchen, a medical room with ten beds, a public bar, a data storage room, and a small "job" board near the entrance.

The basement holds an extra laundry room, an oil and water heater, a wine/sake cellar, a computer system main memory, and an above-grade power back-up generator.

The sub-basement is a bit larger underground, having three different laboratories (physics, electronics and chemical/bio-chemical/bio-electronic), an automated surgery lab with pharmacy supplies, a memorial hall to honor the fallen, a launch hanger for the Straw Hats' main ship/home the Thousand Sunny (which also got dragged here and Franky found underground likely 2 days ago still in good condition), and above all, the Combat Hall for training exercises (with a control room, a ready room, a large waiting room with a small food/drink pub and a screen monitor, a de-briefing room, and holographic projectors).

(A/N: It is a mixture of the Main Fairy Tail Guild Building and Avengers Mansion, with some elements from the X-Mansion.)

The whole gang have already gathered at the first floor getting ready for breakfast, courtesy of being made by not just Sanji, but also by Soma and Erina big enough for everyone to have one (maybe 2) servings.

The breakfast before them is like a big banquet-like serving of eggs, bacon, waffles, toast, sausage, oatmeal, nuts, yogurt, cereal, fruits, and avocados along with orange juice, water and milk. Happy gets his usual fish, Carla drinks her favorite tea, Lily eats his kiwis like always, Blizzard and Kumi enjoy their dog food, and all the Pokémon eat the Pokémon made for them by Erina herself out of kindness.

"Alright, everyone! Dig in and enjoy our first breakfast feast we made!" Soma hollered.

"THANKS FOR THE FOOD!"

Everyone started taking their first bites and in that moment, they were totally blown away by the flavor and tastiness of their food. It felt like they were born in an all-new world of cuisine. Soma, Erina and Sanji were impressed by their reactions.

"It wasn't much!" Soma hollered, taking off his signature white bandanna with his cocky smirk coming from his trademark word.

"I can't get enough!" Naruto, Natsu, Luffy, Ash and Shoyo Hinata hollered in unison, almost talking while eating their food.

"Eat first, then talk." Nami groaned.

"You two outdid yourselves this time." Megumi commented.

Soma chuckled.

"As expected of my rival, but when lunch rolls around you and I are having a Shokugeki to determine our next win!" Takumi hollered.

"Bring it." Soma said, eagerly agreeing to Takumi's challenge.

Hisako sighed and turned their attention to Erina, who started to sit beside her, Serena and Bonnie.

"You did a fabulous job again, Lady Erina." Hisako commented.

"Why thank you, Hisako. It is me after all." Erina politely boasted, being proud of her skills.

"Ah, Erina-chan is amazing when it comes to cooking~!" Sanji commented, being his amorous self as always, which annoyed most of the girls and Zoro.

"Surprised she didn't criticize your crappy food this time." Zoro mocked.

"The hell did you say, you mossy-head slacker!" Sanji hollered, getting annoyed.

"No fighting, you two." Erza warned, which the Straw Hat swordsman and chef quickly obliged without argument, much less they anger the S-Class swordswoman.

"It seems the Pokémon are enjoying the grub too." Brad commented, looking to see all of the Pokémon in the group, including a now recently evolved Doublade from Honedge from yesterday after a hard practice battle between Ash and Chase using his Torterra, enjoying the food without complaints.

The new Pokémon Gogoat, Meowstic, Doublade, Tyrunt, Absol, Amaura and Dunsparce are fitting in with everyone quite well and have shown some talent in battling. They each do have their own quirks and issues to work out, but each of them love their two new trainers (with most of them loving Ash a lot) without question.

Well, there is one "bad apple" among this Pokémon group of rookies and that is Dunsparce. He is mostly arrogant, standoffish and has problems listening to Serena a few times, which Absol is the one who keeps him on a tight leash. Serena doesn't want to give up on him easily and has to be patient and try to earn his love somehow.

"Breakfast is nice and all, but shouldn't we get started on finding those little rocks?" Gajeel asked, chewing on some scrap metal for his breakfast.

"We have to talk about this now?" Levy questioned, annoyed.

"We do. We haven't heard any sightings of those fragments for a whole week." Zeta complained.

"The local worldwide news didn't say anything that would make public." Shikamaru explained.

"And nothing on the internet that has any recent news stories either." Ichigo explained.

"Since when do you read the internet?" Uryu asked, getting a growl from Ichigo.

"Did Cosmos herself tell you guys anything before we got here?" Sakura asked.

"No. I get the feeling she wants us to find them on our own." Gran answered.

"Even if we managed to find ONE, how can we find them all in time?" Sandalphon asked.

Clemont began to chuckle, which Bonnie immediately recognized and grimaced.

"He's not gonna…" Bonnie thought.

"I figured we would think about this problem. Luckily, I have come up with a solution with the aid of Franky-san and Tadashi-san!" Clemont explained.

"The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, on!" Clemont hollered.

In an instant, a strange machine with a small glass container in the middle was presented.

"I had a feeling that we need to be prepared for situations like this, so I present the Fragment Detection Locator!" Clemont hollered, presenting his latest invention with the help of Franky and Yamaguchi.

"It is SUPER cool, right?" Franky asked, doing his signature pose.

"I think it does look cool." Yamaguchi boasted.

"THE COOLEST~!" Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Luffy, Aika, Shoyo Hinata, Soma, Wendy, Orihime, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, Lyria, Vyra, Zeta and Chase shouted in unison, having star-like eyes out of excitement.

"Science is so amazing!" Ash commented, getting excited himself.

"Are they serious?" Nami questioned.

"That's my brother for you." Bonnie commented, in a sarcastic manner.

"Will this device help us locate the fragments?" Sai asked.

"First we need to find one, then put it in here and use its energy to locate the rest if they all share the same energy wavelength." Clemont replied.

"So much for that." Gray said.

"But it is a good start. And with our collective track records, trouble always seems to bring us to what we need." Robin explained.

"Can't argue with that." Levy said.

Out of nowhere, the front doors were suddenly blasted to pieces that caused a scare to almost everyone.

"What the heck?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"We just fixed those doors yesterday!" Usopp complained.

A sudden vacuum wave threatened to drag everyone in, but it seems to be strangely more concentrated at none other than Naruto, Natsu, Happy, Carla, Lily, Ichigo, Kon, Luffy, Blizzard, Aika, Kumi, Gran, Lyria, Vyrn, Ash, Pikachu, Dedenne, Litleo, Eeeve, Shoyo Hinata and Soma to everyone's shock.

"H-Hey!" Bonnie hollered.

XXX

The gang quickly rushed outside, where they heard laughter from a very familiar trio that made them all cringed.

"Don't tell me…" Serena said.

"Prepare for good ol' trouble on the clock!" Jessie chanted.

"And make it double 'cause-" James chanted.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" Sasuke shouted, shooting out a massive ball of fire that blasted the Meowth Balloon and burned only Team Rocket hard, interrupting their motto.

"How dare you interrupt our motto!" Meowth snapped.

"That is the whole thing about Team Rocket!" Jessie hollered.

"Twerps like you have no manners!" James hollered.

"If you morons are picking a fight with us, don't waste it on useless banter and get to it." Sasuke explained, ever so bluntly.

Everyone, including Team Rocket, and the captured heroes cramped together in a big net all deadpanned.

"That is so evil." Naruto, Happy, Carla, Lily, Ichigo, Kon, Luffy, Blizzard, Aika, Kumi, Gran, Lyria, Vyrn, Ash, Shoyo Hinata and Soma thought in unison.

"Pika…" Pikachu muttered.

Natsu only groaned as he was getting extreme motion sickness.

"It doesn't matter! We have our prize!" Jessie hollered.

Wobbuffet agreed with his Trainer.

"Spear of Arvess!" Zeta shouted, dashing to the sky with her trusty spear and cut through the net easily, freeing the captives to Team Rocket's shock.

"Land at last!" Natsu cheered.

"That's what you fools think!" Jessie hollered.

"Let's go, Yanmega and Woobat!" Jessie hollered, calling out her two fliers Yanmega and Woobat.

"Time to play, Carnivine and Amoonguss!" James hollered, calling out his two Grass-types.

But Carnivine instead bit on James' head out of affection.

(A/N: Classic James and Carnivine running gag.)

"Bite them instead of me!" James exclaimed.

"We got this!" Lucy hollered, now wanting to take on Team Rocket with help from Hinata Hyuga, Orihime, Nami, Zeta, Serena and her Absol (making this his first battle), Yachi and Erina.

No one on the team had any objections to that. Not even Naruto, Natsu, Ichigo, Luffy, Gran, Ash and Pikachu, Shoyo Hinata and Soma, who all nodded in agreement.

"Knock'em dead!" Shoyo Hinata hollered.

"We'll knock you twerpetts dead!" Meowth hollered.

"Yanmega, Sonic Boom! Woobat, use Air Slash!" Jessie commanded.

"Carnivine, Bullet Seed! Amoonguss, use Hidden Power!" James commanded.

Yanmega shot out a large shockwave; Woobat fired multiple blades of air; Carnivine fired a barrage of glowing yellow seeds; and Amoonguss shot a ball of green energy to combine one large attack.

"Santen Kesshun!" Orihime shouted, calling out her defensive technique of the Shun Shun Rikka to completely block and nullify the attack, giving Hinata Hyuga and the others the chance to attack.

"Eight Trigrams Air Palm!" Hinata Hyuga shouted.

"Open! Gate of the Scorpion! Scorpio!" Lucy shouted, summoning one of her 10 Gold Celestial Spirits.

"Sand Buster!" Scorpio shouted.

"Thunderbolt Tempo!" Nami shouted.

"Infinite Wonders!" Zeta shouted.

"Absol, use Psycho Cut!" Serena commanded, which Absol responded by firing a purple energy slash from his horn.

"Quick Blade!" Yachi shouted.

"Noble Blade!" Erina shouted.

The combined attack of Hinata Hyuga, Lucy and Scorpio, Nami, Zeta, Serena and Absol, Yachi and Erina easily overpowered the combined attack of Yanemga, Woobat, Carnivine and Amoonguss, blasting not only them but Team Rocket as well, destroying their balloon.

"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN~!" Jessie, James and Meowth shouted in unison, disappearing into the sky along with all their Pokémon

"We did it!" Hinata Hyuga, Lucy, Orihime, Nami, Zeta, Serena, Yachi and Erina hollered in unison, giving each other a collective hi-five.

Serena then kneeled down to Absol and petted his fur.

"You were amazing with that Psycho Cut, Absol. Not bad for your first battle." Serena commented.

Absol accepted the compliment with a smile, which Braixen, Pancham, Sylveon and Amaura couldn't be anymore proud of. But Dunsparce refuse to look at all and turned the other way.

"You girls rock!" Natsu hollered.

"Not bad!" Naruto commented.

"It was a group effort indeed." Gran commented.

"Thanks to Inoue doing her defense to give them a chance." Ichigo commented.

"You were so awesome in that combo move!" Luffy and Shoyo Hinata commented in unison, getting excited.

"Got that right." Soma said.

Hinata Hyuga, Lucy, Orihime, Nami, Zeta, Serena, Yachi and Erina all blushed.

"They're in love~!" Happy teased, intensifying their blushes.

"YOU'RE DEAD, CAT!" Lucy, Nami, Zeta and Erina shouted in unison, chasing after the blue Exceed as everyone laughed at the sight.

Athens, Greece

From a flame-like projection of seeing the eight groups, a sinister laugh echoed in a coliseum. Next to a mysterious figure happens to be a familiar red crystal piece.
