I was a little bored so I made up a Pokémon team I thought Kabuto would have if Pokémon were in the Narutoverse

★Furfrou

Personally I believe that one of the Pokémon Kabuto would have on his team would have to be a Furfrou due to the fact that it’s known for its loyalty towards their trainer (also known to serve kings in ancient times) like Kabuto was to Orochimaru. Another reason why is because Furfrou is said to be very intelligent same as Kabuto. Tbh I don’t think that Kabuto would really style the Furfrou, keeping it in its natural/standard form since.. well Kabuto worked as a spy and standing out wouldn’t work too well for a spy.

★Chansey

I chose Chansey due to it being considered a healer Pokémon in a way, similar to how Kabuto is a highly skilled medic shinobi. To be fair it is said that that Chansey would never share its egg to those with evil hearts, but nonetheless I believe Kabuto would have it on his team. I was contemplating whether to choose between Chansey or Blissey, though Chansey’s considered to be a much better option in any situation (unless you want it know the move flamethrower).. also to evolve a Chansey into a Blissey, a high friendship between the Pokémon and trainer would be needed, though Kabuto doesn’t exactly seem like the type to get overly affectionate with his Pokémon.

★Ekans

There isn’t really any deeper reason why I believe that Kabuto would have an Ekans on his team. If anything I just think that the Ekans would’ve been a little gift from Orochimaru or something.. Idk I just see it being on Kabuto’s team

★Yamask

At first I was contemplating whether to choose between Yamask or its final evolution Cofagrigus, but after some thinking I came to the conclusion that Yamask would’ve suited Kabuto much more. I chose Yamask since it sort of reminded me of the reanimated shinobi Kabuto resurrected during the 4th shinobi war. As the Pokédex states, Yamask arose from the spirits of people interred in graves. Each retaining memories of their former lives (Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 entries)

★Mimikyu

Mimikyu is considered to be a lonely Pokémon, always covered up by its disguise. Dressing up as Pikachu as if pretending to be something it wasn’t, kinda like how Kabuto sort of fact-kinned Orochimaru in a way, too suffering from an identity crisis. It’s the subtle similarities between the two which made me want to add Mimikyu to Kabuto’s team.

★Kabuto

Ironically enough, yea I think that Kabuto (the Pokémon) would be on Kabuto’s team, mainly because the Pokémon could be resurrected from a Dome fossil, similar to the reanimated shinobi (tbh I put Kabuto onto his team for the same reason as Yamask)

For the most part that’s all for now, this is just my opinion though I hope to do some other characters as well sooner or later, thank you for reading ^^

ALAN GRANT/ (NIECE) READER

Platonic obviously

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The familiar scent of dust and old paper filled Alan Grant's office, a chaotic haven of fossil fragments and well-worn books. He was meticulously brushing sediment from a Triceratops horn, lost in the Cretaceous period, when his phone buzzed with an insistent chirp. He grumbled, setting the brush down with the care one reserves for a priceless artifact.

"Grant," he answered gruffly, not bothering to check the caller ID.

"Uncle Alan! Guess what?" The voice on the other end was bright and brimming with an enthusiasm that instantly made his eyebrows furrow. It was Y/N.

"Y/N? What is it, kiddo? Did you finally find a decent fossil site that hasn't been picked clean by amateurs?" He tried to inject some of his usual dry skepticism, but a sliver of genuine curiosity peeked through.

"Better!" she exclaimed, practically vibrating through the phone line. "I got the internship! The one I told you about?"

Alan racked his brain, sifting through the mental clutter of dinosaur names and geological eras. "Internship? Remind me."

There was a slight pause, a hint of exasperation in Y/N's tone. "Uncle Alan! The one at Jurassic World? The animal behavior one?"

A cold dread seeped into Alan's chest, chasing away the Cretaceous warmth. Jurassic World. The very words tasted like corporate greed and impending disaster. He gripped the phone tighter. "Jurassic World? Y/N, are you serious?"

"Totally serious! They were really impressed with my work on cranial trauma in herbivorous dinosaurs. And guess what department I'm going to be working in?" Her voice bubbled with excitement.

Alan braced himself. He had a bad feeling about this. "Don't tell me... the petting zoo?" He tried for sarcasm, hoping it would somehow lessen the blow.

"No! Even cooler! I'm going to be a Pachycephalosaurus trainer!"

The Triceratops horn he'd been working on suddenly felt like it weighed a ton. A *Pachycephalosaurus* trainer? Those thick-headed battering rams of the Late Cretaceous? His niece, willingly putting herself in the vicinity of creatures whose primary mode of communication seemed to involve concussive force?

"A... a *what*?" he stammered, the image of those dome-skulled dinosaurs colliding with alarming velocity flashing through his mind. "Y/N, do you have any idea what those things *do*? They headbutt each other for fun! Their skulls are like reinforced concrete!"

"Exactly!" Y/n chirped. "Isn't it fascinating? Understanding their behavior, their social dynamics, how they use their cranial domes! It's cutting-edge research, Uncle Alan!"

Alan could feel a headache brewing behind his eyes. "Cutting-edge idiocy, more like! Y/n, those aren't lab rats! They're genetically engineered dinosaurs! And you want to... train them... to... what? Play bumper cars?"

"It's more nuanced than that!" Y/n protested, the enthusiasm in her voice wavering slightly under his barrage of horrified questions. "It's about understanding their natural behaviors and creating a safe environment for them and the park visitors. They have specific needs, Uncle Alan! And someone needs to understand them!"

"And that someone has to be my niece? The one with a perfectly functional skull that I'd prefer to keep that way?" Alan's voice rose with each word. He could practically see the headlines: "Beloved Paleontologist's Niece Suffers Severe Head Trauma in Pachycephalosaurus Training Mishap."

"Uncle Alan, you're being dramatic," Y/n said, a hint of amusement creeping back into her tone. "They have safety protocols. And I know what I'm doing. You always taught me to follow my passion, right? Well, this is it! Ancient creatures, behavior analysis... it's like paleontology, but... live!"

Live and potentially concussing, Alan thought grimly. He ran a hand through his already disheveled hair. "Live is one thing, Y/n. Brain-damaged is another entirely. Promise me you'll wear a helmet. A really, *really* good helmet."

"Of course, Uncle Alan," she said, though he could practically hear the eye-roll through the phone. "They have specialized gear. It'll be fine. You worry too much."

"I worry because the last time I was around genetically engineered dinosaurs, things didn't exactly end with polite tea and crumpets, Y/n!" The memories of Isla Nublar still haunted his sleep.

"This is different!" she insisted. "They've learned from their mistakes. And I'm going to be part of making it better, understanding these amazing animals."

Alan sighed, the fight draining out of him. He knew that stubborn gleam in her eye, even over the phone. It was the same determined glint he saw in the mirror when he unearthed a particularly significant fossil. It was in her blood.

"Just... be careful, Y/n," he said, his voice softer now, tinged with genuine concern. "Those aren't fossils you're dealing with. They bite back. Hard."

"I will, Uncle Alan. I promise. And who knows? Maybe I can even get you a behind-the-scenes tour sometime. You might actually find it... fascinating."

Alan shuddered. "Fascinatingly dangerous, more likely. But... call me. Every day. Let me know you still have all your cognitive functions intact."

"Will do, Uncle Alan. Gotta go! Knucklehead's being a bit of a... well, you know."

The line went dead, leaving Alan staring at the Triceratops horn in his hand. He suddenly felt a profound urge to return to the quiet safety of the Mesozoic, where the biggest threat was a hungry Tyrannosaurus, not a niece with a death wish and a penchant for thick-skulled herbivores. He just hoped Y/n knew what she was getting herself into. And that Jurassic World had invested in some seriously heavy-duty headgear. His niece was brilliant, passionate, and clearly a chip off the old, slightly eccentric block. He just prayed that block wouldn't end up with a permanent dent courtesy of a Pachycephalosaurus.

JOURNAL 06. LOCATION: SPROUT TOWER

<<Oh my gosh, I have SO much to tell you today--I hope you're sitting down!! Honestly, ever since earning my Zephyr Badge, I feel like EVERYONE around Violet has been treating me better! Is it normal to have your latest Badge pinned to your shirt, or do you think that's too much? I dunno!! My mom gave me a badge case, but is it so wrong to show how proud I am? I mean, Falkner was no joke!!

I think Falkner sees some real potential in me, because he recommended that I take on THE Sprout Tower challenge. You know, it's that tower full of sages who train ALL day...and if you make it to the top and defeat the Elder waiting there, you get a special reward! Well, OF COURSE I wasn't going to say no...but my team was still resting from the Gym battle, sooo...

...I went back to the Ruins of Alph! I know!! Sue me--but they are WAY too cool. I even found a DOME FOSSIL while poking around, and a friendly scientist is offering to revive it for me! It'll take a while, but how cool is that?! I remember watching a special on Cinnabar Island's fossil machine, and now they have one all the way out here in little ol' Johto! Crazy, huh? I'll be back to check on my fossil for SURE.

OH! One of Prof. Elm's assistants also met me in the Pokemon Center to hand off an Egg for me to hatch--isn't that awesome?? Honestly, I have no idea why all this cool stuff is happening to me, but maybe I'm just a magnet for these kinds of things!! Honestly, I just took laps around the city until the Egg hatched--I was sooo afraid that I would drop it! And look what hatched from inside...a new Pokemon!! An absolute cutie!! World, meet TOKI the Togepi. He's shy, so it was hard to get a good picture, but isn't he adorable? Still, I did hand him off to Elm's aide--I'm sure the prof will want to study him, and he'll be under the best care in Johto! Ancient ruins and new Pokemon eggs...how lucky can you get?!

This is turning into such a ramble again, sorry!! But one last thing--I did make it to the top of the Sprout Tower, and I did challenge the Elder and win!! Trouble, Sunny, and Minerva each helped secure another big victory for Kristyn Amagi--they're already starting to add up! Maybe I really AM a champ in the making...? (Either way, I'll be studying this awesome new 'Hidden Machine' tonight!! The Elder said it would help 'light the darkness,' which sounds nice. Especially after getting jumpscared by the Tower's Gastly over and over again. Ugh!! If only I had enough money for more Pokeballs...)

ps: I ALSO ran into that redheaded jerkface at the top of the Tower again!! He won his battle against the Elder too, but he yelled at his Pokemon the whole time and didn't even seem that happy to win.

...Is it weird that part of me feels almost sorry for him? That's weird, right? I don't know--maybe I should finally just go to bed, huh? New journey starts tomorrow...>>
