Anko nodded, and Kurenai shared the same thoughts. Neither of them believed that when Fuji mentioned "another world," he was actually talking about a different dimension. Instead, they assumed Fuji had somehow discovered an inheritance place for summoning beasts and mistook it for another world.

"Another world? Is there really another world outside the ninja world?" Naruto asked in surprise, eyes wide open.

Anko waved her hand, explaining, "At the farthest reaches of the ninja world, there are places where summoning beasts are passed down from generation to generation. Some people call these places the psychic world. It's where many summoning creatures are from."

Fuji nodded in agreement, adding, "That's right. These inheritance places are considered to be another realm, in a way."

"As for Pokémon abilities, I've explained this to Anko before. Each Pokémon has a unique ability, and sometimes multiple abilities. For instance, Gastly has Levitate, Hoopa has Magician, Snivy has Contrary, and Vulpix has Flash Fire," Fuji explained, listing examples.

"Each Pokémon can only have one ability active at a time, even though they may have more than one. Some Pokémon only have a single ability, like Gastly's Levitate or Hoopa's Magician. But others, like Vulpix, can have two abilities—Flash Fire as the primary ability and Drought as a hidden ability. Snivy also has two: Overgrow and Contrary, with Contrary being its hidden ability."

Anko's eyes lit up. "So, my Snivy has a hidden ability! That makes it extra special, right?"

Fuji chuckled at her excitement. "Yep, hidden abilities are rare, and Contrary makes your Snivy even more unique."

Naruto, on the other hand, was disappointed. "Aww, so my Vulpix doesn't have a hidden ability? That's not fair."

Fuji shook his head, smiling. "Don't be too quick to judge, Naruto. Hidden abilities aren't always better than regular ones. For example, Contrary is definitely stronger than Overgrow for Snivy, but in Vulpix's case, Flash Fire is actually more useful than Drought, especially in the ninja world where fire-based attacks are common."

Naruto's mood brightened, and he happily patted his Vulpix's head. "So it's still strong, huh? Good to know!"

Kurenai spoke up next, deep in thought. "So, Pokémon have these traits and nineteen types of moves... If what Fuji says is true, Pokémon will definitely become well-known in the ninja world. They're incredible for battles."

Fuji smiled modestly, but with confidence. "I appreciate the compliment. It's only a matter of time before Pokémon become a major part of this world."

Anko, still curious, asked, "How do Pokémon learn these moves? Can my Snivy learn as many as Hoopa?"

"Of course!" Fuji replied. "Pokémon learn moves in several ways. One is through natural growth—moves they learn as they grow stronger, like the Wrap move your Snivy recently mastered. Another way is through move tutors, who can teach specific moves, though that service isn't available just yet. There's also something called egg moves, which are moves that Pokémon are born with. For instance, Vulpix's Charm, Gastly's Haze, and Snivy's Twister are all egg moves."

"The final way is through technical machines, or TMs, which allow Pokémon to learn new moves. These will be available in stores eventually."

Fuji's explanation was clear, and it drew a comparison to the way ninjas learned jutsu. Egg moves were like bloodline abilities, teaching moves was similar to passing down jutsu from master to student, and TMs were akin to learning from a scroll.

"In that case, could I teach Snivy our jutsu?" Anko asked, intrigued.

Fuji thought about it for a moment. "It's possible. After all, the summoning creatures in the ninja world can learn jutsu, so I don't see why some Pokémon couldn't. However, each Pokémon has different talents, so it might not work for all of them."

The group nodded, their excitement growing as they considered the limitless possibilities of Pokémon in their world.
