A/N: I did not create the character introduced in this chapter... remember that!

Chapter 16: The Weird Teddiursa

Buffy glared at the ones who left in the forest.

“If this ever blows over I’m send my brother after you.” muttered Buffy.

“Isn’t your brother a wannabe?” asked Naruto.

Buffy still glared at him which made Naruto hide behind Ichigo.

“Excuse me.” Came a voice.

They turned to see a Teddiursa, her eyes were sparkling at the site of Zangetsu.

“I’ve never seen a sword like that before.” Said the Teddiursa, “Can I see it.”

“Um sure.” Said Ichigo handing Zangetsu.

The Teddiursa began to examine the sword with her eyes sparkling.

“I’ve never seen anything like this… the metal is a strange one.” Said the Teddiursa.

“Um… is your name Tenten?” asked Naruto.

“No… it’s Taki. Why do you ask?” asked the Teddiursa.

“Sorry you just remind of this girl I sort of know.” Said Naruto laughing.

That’s when Shizuka sneezed causing her leaves to turned into blade and throw them… of course this was an accident, fortunately no one got hurt. This caused Taki’s eyes to sparkle once again.

“How were you able to do that?” she asked.

That’s when Shizuka began to cry, she began to latch on to her “big brother” (Luffy) or at least try… (she’s an Oddish, she doesn’t have any arms)

“What’s that over there!” shouted Naruto pointing in some random direction.

Taki turned around and a minute later they were gone.

“What the…” she muttered.

“Excuse me.” Came a voice behind her.

Taki turned around and saw Team ACT.

“Aren’t you Team ACT?” asked Taki.

“That’s right.” Said Alakazam, “We were wondering if you saw a rouge Rescue Team?”

“What do you mean a Rouge Rescue Team?” asked Taki.

“They’re called Team Ninja Sentai Pirate King, it consists of a Chimchar in a straw hat, a Squirtle with a weird headband, a Treecko with a pigtail, a Piplup with pigtails, a Torchic with bells tied to it’s head feathers, a Chikorita with a ribbon tied around its leaf and wearing a weird belt and an Igglybuff.” Said Charizard.

“Oh you forgot the new guy, the Pikachu with a giant sword.” Said Tyranitar.

“What did they do?” asked Taki.

“They’re the ones causing the natural disasters. Well they’re not doing it intentionally, but if we get them then they will stop.” Said Charizard.

“I see…” said Taki walking away without saying anything.

“She knows something.” Said Charizard.

“Leave her be, she saw them but brushed them off.” Said Alakazam.

“I’m going to find them.” Thought Taki, “No matter what…”

With Team NSPK (as they are known sometimes) they arrived a giant cave.

“So what’s this cave?” asked Naruto.

“I believe it’s Lapis cave.” Said Chiyo-Chan.

“We should really go in.” said Ichigo.

“Not to mention Ichigo’s stalker.” Said Naruto.

“What do you mean Stalker?” asked Ichigo.

“She’s going to follow you to the ends of the earth… I’m sure of it.” Said Naruto.

Ranma sweat dropped.

“What is it?” asked Asuna.

“I have a feeling that we’re just assuming it about her and don’t know what she’s really like that it will cause some problems.” Said Ranma.

“Why does that happened a lot to you?” asked Chiyo-Chan.

“No of course not.” Said Ranma with an invisible arrow pointing to him saying “happens all the time”.

“Let’s go!” said Luffy as they went into the cave.

They entered the cave to find it was a very beautiful place with glittering blue gems everywhere.

“Oh wow!” said Shizuka.

“This place is amazing.” Said Luffy.

“Remember we’re just passing though so that we can get people off our tail.” Said Ichigo.

They traveled though the cave… admiring the sights. Of course they had to fight some Pokémon along the way. But that was to expect. That’s when a certain Teddiursa showed up.

“Uh-oh!” said Naruto.

“Look I just want to talk.” Said Taki.

“What’s that over there!” yelled Naruto.

“That’s not going to work this time.” Said Taki.

“Uh…” said Naruto with a sweat drop.

“Tell me… why are they blaming you for all these natural disasters.” Said Taki.

“How about we’ll tell you if you agree if you don’t turn us in and not stalk us.” Said Luffy taking the role of leader.

“Why do you think I’ll talk you?” asked Taki.

This made everyone else sweat drop.

“I told you it wasn’t the case.” Muttered Ranma.

“Yeah, yeah…” muttered Naruto.

And so everyone sat down in a circle and talked…

“So everyone assumed you’re not doing this on purpose but by getting you then the disasters will stop.” Said Taki in disbelief, “I doubt that would work.”

“But still we’re fugitives and it’s getting hard to run all the time.” Said Asuna.

“It’s not that hard.” Said Luffy.

“I have to agree.” Said Ichigo.

Both of them were pecked in the head for the remark.

“Okay…” said Taki.

“Luffy as a human is a pirate and Ichigo is causing trouble so that a friend won’t be executed.” Explained Chiyo-Chan.

“I see.” Said Taki.

“Everything is my fault…” said Naruto, “I’m the human from the legend I’m sure of it.”

“So wait.” Said Taki.

“Right now our current theory is that the myth is a metaphor for Naruto’s situation.” Explained Asuna.

“Okay… now that I’m caught up with that… why are they traveling with you.” Said Taki looking at Ceres and Shizuka.

“They saved my life, so I’m indebted to them.” Said Ceres.

“Luffy’s helping me with my powers.” Said Shizuka.

“I see.” Said Taki, “Then I’ll join you in your journey.”

“Wait! Why?” asked Naruto.

“Because I can’t stop feeling like you’re getting the short end of it.” Said Taki, “I’m a skilled weapon user so I think I’ll make a great member of this group.”

“Well… I guess none of us can say no.” said Asuna.

Taki the Teddiursa has joined the party.

And so they continued their way out of the cave.

“It good to be outside again.” Said Naruto.

“We should continue judging from what I heard today we shouldn’t stop for anything.” Said Taki.

“What about a short rest?” asked Luffy.

Taki sighed, “Okay… a short rest.”

“No offense, you just join. How come your bossing us around?” asked Naruto.

Taki glared at hardly at Naruto. Naruto hid behind Zangetsu, knowing the big sword would distract her.

“Come on! Let’s go!” said Momoko.

“Right!” said everyone else with nods.

And so with Taki joining them they knew things were going to get even more interesting.

Next Time: With the aid of a Jigglypuff (not related to Buffy) the group heads towards Mt. Blaze in order to evade the other rescue teams. When they get there however the group in for a rather tough fight. Who will pull through for the group? Find out next time!
