A/N: I know it's short and really slow, but isn't every other story? Events happen that lead up to drama. If you want, review it and tell me if it's ok so far, and give me some feedback I suppose. I support any kind of criticism, but just don't tell me it plain sucks. Tell me what about it that does suck, and tell me my weak points so I can work on them. Thank you! :3
"I challenged Alder yesterday. His first Pokémon wasn't really that hard, but they progressively got harder as we went along the battle…"
Bianca kept rambling on about her battle with Alder. All I could think about was N. I felt guilty thinking about him. I was sprawled on my bed, thinking, eyes closed, when all of a sudden her sharp, shrill voice startled me.
"Sephyr! Are you even listening to me? Agh. You know what? I'll just wait 'till Cheren gets here to tell you guys."
With that, she just left my room. I closed my eyes again, imagining N's warm embrace pinned against my torso, leaving me breathless. His soft, tea-green hair was falling onto my shoulders, dancing with the wind. Imagining that was usually as far as I get, but this time was different. This time, he pulled me in closer. I could feel each of his breaths, as short as they were. Our lips finally met, and it felt as if a Volcarona had used its Fiery Dance on me. I felt my person getting warmer with this thought, noticing I was blushing wildly. I was awoken by Cheren clearing his throat, making me acknowledge that he was, in fact, in my room, where I was daydreaming.
"Have a nice, erm, thought?" He said, apprehensively.
I sat up, somewhat disappointed about having to stop dreaming, but excited that my friend had arrived.
"I was just thinking about exploring a volcano. Man, those things are hot!"
"Mhm." He replied, smirking, knowing I was lying.
I scoffed. "Well, I'll be right back. Salacia needs to be fed."
Bianca took this as a chance to run to my room so she could have Cheren, whom she likes, all to herself. I feel guilty, honestly. There's nary a soul who I've told about N. Bianca and Cheren have been my life-long friends. I tell them everything. I've told them about when I was in grade school, and I liked a boy, but I was nervous, so I burped and he thought girls' burping was gross. I've even told them about a certain womanly thing that occurs each month. But I can't tell them about my liking my former enemy.
I went outside to our pond to find Salacia, my Samurott, sunbathing.
"Hey girl, lemme just feed you."
She nuzzled up to me, which was her way of hugging me, of course, then went for her food. Some of my other Pokémon were at the Pokémon ranch not too far from my house. They were playing with other people's Pokémon. I went back inside, but stopped at the door frame to my closed-off room. I really wanted to see N, but couldn't with them.
I traveled back outside to a finished Salacia.
"Salacia, we need to jet."
I recalled her, and ran to the Pokémon ranch to get a few of my Pokémon. I grabbed my Togetic, Simisear, and Mantyne. I had Sublimity, my Togetic, fly me to White Forest. If I knew N well enough, he'd definitely be here. N's such a nature head. He despises Black City.
I looked around, walking, unsure of where exactly N would be. I realized having my Herdier with me would make things easier. He could use Odor Sleuth. I heard a rustling in the nearby bushes, and got my hopes up. I was disappointed to find two Oddish playing Hide-and-Seek. I was even more startled when my X-transceiver started going off. It was both Cheren and Bianca. I internally ignored their call, feeling bad whilst doing so.
In a split second, I saw the tail of a Zoroark. I followed to where I saw said tail. I traced a path upwards to White Hill, the biggest hill in Unova. From atop its vastness, I peeked, while shielding my eyes from the sun, around, looking for any sign of Zoroark, or even N. I did, however, see what appeared to be tea-green hair. I ran down the hill, cautiously avoiding any slip-ups.
As soon as I reached the spot where I thought I had spotted N, he was gone again. I looked around, about to give up, when I heard a voice from behind me.
"Looking for someone?"
