In Naruto, the System Asks Me to Entrust Pokémon

"Old Feng, are you sure you're not lying? The Anbu shinobi have already said that only strong Pokémon can be captured by shinobi, and even they may not succeed."

"Exactly! Don't joke about this, it's not funny at all."

"You guys seriously believe this? Come on, it's obviously fake. How could we, as ordinary people, possibly capture Pokémon? There's no way strong Pokémon would willingly let us capture them."

"Yeah, there's no way we can do it."

…

Hearing these words, Old Feng was fuming, his mustache practically trembling with anger. I'm telling the truth, and yet nobody believes me?

Unable to hold back anymore, he snapped, "Fine! None of you believe me, right? Come with me, and I'll show you whether it's real or not!"

With that, he grabbed Feng Tian and turned, striding in a certain direction.

The gathered crowd hesitated at first, then exchanged looks of uncertainty before following.

After a short walk, they arrived at a small grove.

Old Feng turned back to the crowd and said, "Watch closely. See for yourselves whether this is real or not."

Then, he looked at his Rattata.

"Rattata, use Bite on that tree!"

Over the past few days, under his training, Rattata had already reached level 11.

It was now strong enough to compete with Genin-level shinobi.

That was exactly why he had taken his son to capture Pokémon—because just as Ryo had said, Pokémon grew fast and had incredible potential.

"Rattata!"

Rattata responded with a nod, then fixed its gaze on the tree ahead.

In the blink of an eye, it dashed forward, closing the distance in an instant.

Leaping high, it bared its sharp teeth and clamped down on the trunk.

CRACK!

A loud splintering sound echoed as Rattata's powerful bite sank into the tree.

A deep indent, shaped exactly like its fangs, was left in the wood.

The gathered crowd stared, jaws hanging open in shock, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

"O-Old Feng, this… this is real! You actually captured a Pokémon?"

Old Wang was the first to recover, eyes wide with disbelief as he stammered out his question.

Old Feng rolled his eyes. "I've been saying that from the start! You're the ones who refused to believe me."

He was exasperated. They had made such a fuss, only to end up proving what he had said all along.

Of course, he conveniently forgot that he had also doubted it at first, until Ryo had demonstrated it to him.

But now that everyone had seen it with their own eyes, they finally reacted.

"Old Feng, how did you capture a Pokémon? Is there a way for us to get one too?"

"Yeah, Old Feng, tell us! I'll treat you to a meal if you do!"

"I'll treat you too! Just tell us how!"

"Right! Your son's Teddiursa is also a Pokémon, so you must know a method, right? Tell us!"

Hearing their eager voices, Old Feng felt smug. Ah, this feeling of being looked up to… not bad at all.

"Alright, alright! No need to pull me around. But first, you all better keep your promises about that free meal, or I'm not saying a word."

Without hesitation, they all agreed. A meal was nothing compared to the chance to capture a powerful Pokémon.

Seeing their eagerness, Old Feng finally turned serious.

"Listen up—everything you've been told about only shinobi being able to capture Pokémon is a complete lie. The truth is, ordinary people can capture them just fine!"

Whoosh—

Just as he finished speaking, a gust of wind swept through the grove.

Four masked shinobi appeared out of nowhere, their eyes filled with killing intent as they locked onto Old Feng.

One of them stepped forward.

"Feng Tang and Feng Tian, come with us."

Old Feng's face tensed, fear creeping into his eyes. "W-Why? I haven't broken any laws. Why are you taking us?"

Feng Tian also spoke up. "Yeah! Are you arresting us just because we told the truth—that ordinary people can capture Pokémon too?"

The leading shinobi's eyes narrowed. He waved a hand dismissively.

"We now suspect you of being foreign spies. We have the authority to execute you on the spot."

A chilling aura of killing intent surged forth.

Old Feng and Feng Tian trembled, their bodies instinctively reacting to the overwhelming pressure.

The shinobi leader didn't waste any time. "Take them down."

Old Feng's heart pounded. Damn it, Ryo! Didn't you say you'd handle any shinobi trouble? Where are you?

If you don't show up soon, my son and I are finished! They're already pulling out kunai!

The surrounding crowd instinctively backed away, fear in their eyes.

But at the same time, confusion filled their minds.

Old Feng, a spy?

They had known him for years—there was no way that was true!

"Rattata!"

"Teddiursa!"

Sensing the danger, Rattata and Teddiursa stepped in front of their trainers, standing firm against the shinobi.

Seeing this, both Old Feng and Feng Tian felt a surge of emotion—but worry quickly overtook them.

These shinobi weren't ordinary opponents.

Could their Pokémon really hold their ground against them?

The shinobi on the other side frowned deeply as they watched the scene unfold.

The leader spoke once more, his voice cold and indifferent. "Do not harm the Pokémon. Just eliminate the targets."

The other three nodded before swiftly charging toward Old Feng and Feng Tian.

At that moment, Old Feng's face became expressionless. Deep down, he regretted ever agreeing to Ryo's request.

Even Feng Tian felt bitter in that instant.

The crowd that had retreated into the distance quietly closed their eyes, afraid of witnessing the tragedy that was about to unfold.

"Rattata!"

"Teddiursa!"

Rattata and Teddiursa refused to back down. With furious cries, they charged forward.

To them, protecting their trainers was their most important duty, even if it meant sacrificing their own lives.

In mere moments, the shinobi and the two Pokémon closed the gap.

Yet, the shinobi completely ignored the attacks from the Pokémon, swiftly dodging around them as they rushed toward Old Feng and Feng Tian.

"Rattata!"

"Teddiursa!"

Seeing this, the Pokémon became even more enraged and frustrated.

They dashed forward frantically, desperately trying to intercept the shinobi.

But the gap in power was too great.

By the time the shinobi reached Old Feng and Feng Tian, the Pokémon were still a distance away.

Old Feng and Feng Tian watched as the kunai drew closer and closer, helpless and resigned to their fate.

Whoosh!

Just then, a figure clad in a blue dress appeared before them.

With a single graceful movement of her arm, she effortlessly deflected the shinobi's attacks.

A furious voice rang through the air.

"Unforgivable! You actually dare to interfere with Ryo's business!"
