Prologue:
At that time, he was young, innocent. He was living in a close world. He had a big dream, an ideal dream that he knew he can achieve and could have turn it into a reality. However, he did not know the outside world…
When he did, then he realized, his dream wasn't exactly what he wanted it to be…
Where are you right now?
In the quietest night in the pinwheel forest, Pokémon are sleeping. Even on the east side of the forest, the Skyarrow Bridge is also quiet.
There are such low density between the trees in the forest, it always looks very dark at nigh. The light stands in the forest tries really hard to brighten the forest up. Even during the day time, and the sunlight can barely get through these trees. On this quiet night, wind passes the forest, trees and the grass are moving, it sounds like a lullaby, smooth suing for the Pokémon who are asleep in this peaceful night.
Two shadows of human approaches, with a tiny baby in one of their hands carefully walking through in the forest at this hour.
"Are you sure about this?" One of the shadow says. The shadow appears to be wearing some kind of long uniform, with hat and mask, but it's too dark to see the details. The voice is a female.
"Yes, it's our order. We must leave him here." The other shadow replies, the voice seems to be a male.
"But he's merely a child." The female shadow says, looks at the small child she's holding, wrap in bed sheets, who's asleep and isn't aware what's going on. The female shadow's hands are shaking, "What if the Pokémon in this forest attacks him? How would he survive? He can't fight back!"
"There's nothing we can do. It is our order to put him in this forest." The male says, however his tone and expression seems guilty, he knows, what they are doing isn't the right thing.
As they approach to a broken tree branch, there's a large hole where you can pass through it to go to lower level of the forest. Kind of like a latter except it's an empty, and smooth pathway in the center of this branch. This forest is full of these branches to connect lower or upper level the forest like a latter.
"Let's leave him here." The female shadow says, "At least it's not too deep down the forest so maybe someone might see him and save him. Maybe a trainer who passes by in their journey in this Unova region." She looks at the boy who's asleep peacefully.
"Wouldn't that kind of go against the 'Purpose' of the order?" The male shadow looks at the female shadow, asks.
"We'll have to let the fate decide then… I wishes this boy best of luck… " the Female shadow gently kisses the boy's forehead and puts him inside the branch. She puts a few blue colour berries beside him, "At least when he wakes up, he can eat these Oran Berries."
After leaving the Oran berries where normally they give those to Pokémon to eat in order to regain energy in battle, the lady shadow starts to run, the male shadow follows her and tries to catch up with her.
As she's running, her tears flies with the wind, it's like broken string of jewels falling down.
"Are you ok?" The male shadow catches up to the female shadow's running speed, asks.
The female shadow wipes her tears and with smile on her face:" I look forward to the day to see you again, my lord."
"Zoruu?" A small black fox Pokémon, with red ascent on the head and feet, with a bushy tail sniff on this child who's a sleep in the branch inside of the pinwheel forest. This Pokémon is name Zorua. As it spots couple Oran berries around the boy, it happily jump up, and take a bite on one of the berries. The smell of Oran Berries leads this little guy here, it's a full on breakfast!
"ZORUAAA!" Zorua put a big smiles with really satisfy expression on its face after eating the delicious berry.
Zorua's triangular ears stands up, he looks back to the boy. The boy seems to breath really fast, his face is really red. Zorua walks close to the boy, it slowly reach out its tiny feet, and lightly pokes on the boy's cheek. The boy doesn't seem to make any reactions, still breathing really fast with his mouth open. Zorua backs off abit, with the ear stand up, just like a little cat seeing something new and curios in front of them. It slowly walk closers to the boy, leans his head with smooth black fur against the boy's forehead, he's burning up! Zorua panics, and back off a few more steps, and looks around.
"ZORUUUA!" It roars with the loudest voice as it can, "ZORUUU!"
Slowly, upon hearing the S.O.S help from Zorua, numbers of Pokémon poke out their head out of grass, beside the trees. Deerling, a deer Pokémon that changes looks depends on season, it looks green, looks like its spring time…, Pidove, a grey dove Pokémon, timburr, Tympole, Throh and Sawk who have the most power and strength all show up that same time. Audino, a pink Pokémon who has floppy ears that can heart beats well, and they are able to detect the health conditions of a Pokémon, it is expert at nursery take off the bed sheet on the boy, and tries to clean the sweat off the boy.
This small child, he has pale skin, short green tea hair, really smooth and thick hair. His entire the body is burning up and he has really fast breathing. It seems it catches a cold for leaving in the forest overnight in the wind. The wind might be mild for adults to sleep, but this child who looks like in the age between two or three, he doesn't have the immune system for it.
"Audiii! Audinoo!" Audino asks kindly from Timburr. Timburr and Sawk nods and takes the berries beside the boy and starts to grind it into juices.
Pidove and Deerling went into the forest and look for any berries that can heal the boy's fever.
Under a few feed by the Pokémon, and Audino's caring, the boy's fever has finally calm down and the boy finally sleeps in peace once again. It's almost the afternoon, the sun has already move to the west side of the forest. Pokémon's who took part of this are all so tired, especially Audino. They all lie down on the ground and rest up.
Slowly, the boy wakes up in the bed sheet that Audino fixes, he gets up, rolls his eyes with his tiny hands. He looks to the front with his half open eyes:"Poke…mon?" He saw all these tired pokemon lying down in front of him, some of the Deerlings are cuddling with the Petilil sleep together, same with Sewaddle and a lot of Pokémon are sleeping right next to each other. It's like a warm family.
The boy realizes he's not in his usual bed, he quickly looks around him and up. He's in a forest alright… where's everyone? Zorua hears the sound of the boy gets up on the grass, it wakes up, and looks up to the boy who's in front of him. The boy has a panic look on his face, with his mouth open, as he's looking around and he starts to run. Upon hearing the sound of the boy running on the grass, it also wakes up the Pokémon who were sleeping beside him.
"Audino?" Audino stands up and about to chase after the boy.
"Zorua ZO!" Zorua runs after the boy, letting Audino and other Pokémon know to leave the boy to him, it will bring him back.
The boy runs and as his tears comes out of his shiny grey blue eyes, his tears are dropping onto the grass. The Pokémon who he passes by witness him running in despair. The boy is running and breathing really fast. As he gets tired, he realize, he's lost in deep in the forest.
It's getting darker, although the tree in the forest has such low density between each other, when it gets dark, the forest is technically dark, and it's difficult to see where you are going. Especially for a little boy like this, they are usually afraid of dark with no guardians around.
The boy opens his eyes wide, tears continues to fall down, hand and feets are shaking, he opens his mouth wide, and his fearing voice is trembling. He screams and cries.
"Vullabyy!"
"Mandibuzz!"
A couple dark pink bird shows up with behinds the trees with intimidating look. The one that calls out Vullaby has an egg on it, it looks like it's a family of birds.
"Gasp!" The boy frightens even more, he steps backwards slowly. His hands and feet are shaking even more, he has nowhere to run, he doesn't know where he is… A young child like him, does not know what other ways he can defend himself.
"DARMAN!" A low voice appears, where the voice come from seems to lighten up the forest with its light. It's a fire Pokémon, it must be. A huge red fire Pokémon that looks like a squat ape has flame colour eye brows. Is that Pokémon name Darmanitan here to save him? The boy doesn't know, but why would a Pokémon who lives on a dessert showing up in this forest?
"DARMANN!" Darmanitan roars, it taunts on the dark birds and the birds starts to roar out, and sounded like they are having an argument fighting who gets the boy.
It is the chance to run, as the boy watches the Pokémon and ready to turn and run, he trips over the moss rock on the ground and he falls down, makes a loud sound on the grass and himself.
The Pokémon hears the sound, they look over to where the boy is. Damn it! The boy lies on the ground, with the face of despair. Someone please help… He calls out in his heart, he's really scared and helpless in this situation. Where is he, what happened, why is he here in this forest alone with no guardian? All these questions are popping in the boy's mind. He turns his head towards where the Pokémon's are, as he hear they are approaching, his tears drops even more. As the Pokémon coming closer, he closes his eyes.
"KYUUREMMM!" What a magnificent roar, it was so loud that it blows heavy wind on the forest, it is like a tornado. The boy opens his eyes, a large ice dragon stands in front of him protect him from the other Pokémon. Compare to other Pokémon, this Pokémon feels so much different, it isn't the ice that the boy can feel off the dragon Pokémon, and the boy feels it. The power of this dragon, a power that people are desire to rule the world. All the Pokémon on the field, includes the boy are stunned by the power of this Pokémon.
Darmanitan, Vullaby and Mandibuzz runs away like a scared puppy immediately upon seeing the dragon Pokémon.
The boy shows relieve on his face, his tears are already dry out on his face, and he smiles. As he slowly approaches that dragon Pokémon. The Pokémon turns his head, it has sharp teeth and really intimidating face. The boy stops approaching the Dragon Pokémon, his expression changes back to his fear. Is the Pokémon going to eat him?
"Audino!" Another Pokémon's voice is coming close, the boy is afraid to look. Audino stops, and looks at the Dragon Pokémon.
The dragon Pokémon looks over to Audino, the boy looks behind him where Audino is, and he immediately looks at the Dragon Pokémon again: "NO! PLEASEE!" The boy screams.
Suddenly the Dragon Pokémon close its eyes and disappear in the wind. The wind blows up and blow sand into the boy's eyes, the boy closes his eyes. When he opens up his eyes again, it's this cute Zorua shaking its head of something, and smiles.
"Huh?" The boy is confused.
"Zoruaa!" Zorua puts its head up and shows his cockiness with the smirk on its face.
"Audino!" Audino puts both of her hands on her waist.
"Could it be…" The boy slowly understands, he walks towards Zorua, and bends down to Zorua's level on the grass, "Was that you who turned into that huge dragon?"
"ZORUAA!" Zorua nods with a smile.
"Gasp!" The boy shows a face of relief, and smiles, "Thank you… Zorua… That's your name right? Thank you!" The boy tightly hugs Zorua, "Thank you for saving me!"
"Zoruaa!" Zorua happily being hug by the boy.
Audino walks behind the boy and hug him behind, the boy can understand it, Audino is telling him:
"Don't worry, you are not alone, you have us! We'll help each other and be with each other."
Maybe slowly, the boy can understand the Pokémon better, more than any human in this world, the boy thought. Maybe he belongs to be with the Pokémon, is that the reason why he was abandon in the forest? That questions pops in the boy's head every day.
Few years has passed…
"Ah, green tea sure is good. Touya's mom always makes great teas!" A girl wearing with green round hat with white stripe on the hat, wearing a skirt, holds a cup of green tea on her hands. As a group of families are sitting together in the Pinwheel forest, having a picnic. Pinwheel forest has slowly becoming a popular area for any kind of camping and picnic for families and travelers.
"Thanks Bianca. It is very nice to see our children to have such great energy in them!" Touya's mom smiles and says.
"What's taking Cheren and Touko so long? I hope they are not lost…" Cheren's mom speaks.
"Don't worry, he's our son, with his critical calculation in his head, I'm sure he will find his way back with Touko." Cheren's dad says, as he drinks a sip of the green tea.
"I'll go look for them!" A boy with short brown hair, with an ahoge on his head. He has such nice smooth hair that forms two perfect curve arc on both side of his hair. He stands up, and wear his shoes.
"Sure Touya." Touko's mom says, "Please be careful, and here's the map of the forest," Touko's mom gives the boy the map, "don't get lost! Bring your sister and Cheren back."
"You got it!" Touya grabs on to the map and ready to go.
"I'll… I'LL COMM…COME… WITH YOU… TOO!" Bianca stands up, her face is red, and speaks in a really nervous tone. Her legs are shaking, and her hands and faces are sweating.
"Sure, tag along!" Touya smiles, and turns his back on her and starts running, "But you gatta catch up to me first!" Touya says as he runs.
"Www…aiittt upp!" Bianca changes to her shoes with his legs are shaking, and as she runs towards Touya's direction he trips on a moss rock and fell down.
"Oh no Bianca, are you ok?" Touko and Touya's mom asks, "Touya, why don't you just wait for her?"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry!" Touya stops running and runs back to where Bianca is, bend down and pulls out his right hand, "Can you get up?" Touya smiles.
Bianca's heart races up beat fast, she looks down and slowly reaches Touya's right hand with her shaky right hand, Touya pulls her up.
"Are you ok?" Touya asks, "Common, let's go find Touko!"
Touya doesn't seem to notice Bianca's feeling, as he holds her hand and starts running with Bianca's flame red face down.
"Touko! Where are you? Toukoo?" Touya puts both of his heads up in front of his face and calls out. "Touko, please come out! We can't play hide and seek right now, our parents, Cheren and Bianca's parents are waiting for us! Touko!" Touya calls out, he seems like the type of boy who gets drag around by his sister.
"Cheren!" Bianca screams out, compare to Touya, she can call out so much louder, "Where are youuu?"
"Bianca? Touya?" A boy with black hair comes out in the land of trees with glasses, and he wears a tie and suspenders, feels like some sort of smart kid or genius.
"Cheren!" Bianca calls out, and Touya with the smile on their face, they run towards Cheren who's already got dirty while looking for his way out in the trees.
"Where is Touko?" Touya asks immediately.
"We lost each other… She starts chasing after Cottenee and we got lost from each other from there. You know she's a fast runner." Cheren sighs as he pushes glasses.
"Ahh man I got lost! And I lost Cheren too!" A girl with dark brown hair, with a pony tail up, she likes wearing jean shorts and kind of tom boyish look, with shiny blue eyes.
"Hahahahaha~" Someone's voice is laughing! The girl looks towards that direction, she sees the boy with long green tea hair colour is running with numbers of Cottenee. From his face, he looks really happy, It is like this forest is the happiest place for him. It is not just him, the Pokémon are also happy. Suddenly one of the Cottenee turns into a black fox Pokémon with red ascent on it/Zorua, and jumps on the boy and starts to lick the boy who's enjoying the fun. The girl is really surprise by the Pokémon's transformation, she walks towards the Pokémon with her eyes wide open.
"Hey there!" The girl walks close towards the boy, shows the brightest smile on her face. To the boy, he hasn't seem such bright smile except through the Pokémon in this forest. However, years of indirect contact with human, the boy has back off a few steps, shows a face of fear. He holds on to Zorua tight, Zorua just stares at the girl with intimate look, other Cottenees ,they also back off, and squeeze closer to the boy. As if the girl is a huge monster and about to attack them with her shadow on top of them.
She notices they are really shy about this, she puts both of her hands up on her waist, "Hmn…"
"Hi!" She tries again, "My name is Touko! I kind of lost my way while chasing a Cottenee, can you direct me which way is the picnic area?"
"Uh…" The boy stares at Touko with a bit of an easier look, as he wants to speak with his mouth slightly open, but he closes his mouth again. Maybe she does need help, the boy wonder. But he doesn't have the courage to speak to this stranger who is a human.
One of the Cottenee closes its eyes, as if it's scared of Touko.
"Hey!" Touko grabs on to that Cottenee, Cottenee immediately struggles, and trying to flee out of Touko's arms with its tiny leaf arms, "You are that Cottenee I was chasing after wasn't it? Can you lead my way back? I'm really hungry you know!"
"Cottenee! COTTENEEE!"
The boy looks at how much Cottenee is struggling, he takes a deep breath, he let go of Zorua , close his eyes and pulls out his arms and yells out: "STOP! PLEASE DON'T HURT MY FRIEND!" He pushes Touko away, his long green tea hair flies up through his moving motion as he pushes. Touko falls on the ground on side way as she also let go Cottenee. Cottenee flies and escapes away and hide behind the boy.
The boy remaiin his position and opens his eyes, and shock of what he has done. He has the same face of fear once again.
Touko is on the grass, the injure on her left leg when falling down gives her difficulties to get up.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? I WASN'T PLANNING ON HURTING COTTENEE YOU KNOW!" Touko yells, with really angry tone, with single drop of tears on staying on her eyes.
The boy backs off, and runs away into the deep woods, along with the Pokémon that's with him.
Touko struggles, and manages to sit up with her legs bend up. She stares at the injury on the leg, the grass are surprisingly sharp, but at least it's not bleeding.
"Ugh… it hurts!" Touko expresses.
"Touko!"
"Touko!"
It's Touya and Cheren's voice! Touko looks to her right, Touya, Cheren and Bianca are running towards her.
"Are you ok Touko?" Bianca rushes over to Touko and hugs her tight.
"Did you injure your leg?" Touya worries, as he sits down, "Can you get up? What happened?" As usual, Touya is being a really caring brother, a really worry-some type.
"I'm fine Touya. Just some strange kid pushes me because he thinks I'm hurting his 'Friend'… tsh!" Touko says with unpleasant tone, with her eyes looks up the other way.
"His friend?" Cheren asks.
"I said I'm fine Touya!" Touko says as Touya carries her up on his back.
"You are my most important twin sister! It's my job to take care of you!"
Touko blushes:"UGHH!" She knows nothing she says will convince Touya to put her down. She puts her head comfortably on Touya's back. Touya's back has always been so wide and warm. Touko smiles.
Bianca and Cheren are walking behind them, she looks at these two siblings, she puts an admire look towards them, and she looks down.
"It's nice to have a brother or a sister, don't you think Cheren?"
"I guess… They will just become my competition." Cheren says in a serious tone.
The 4 of them has been growing up together, Cheren always speaks in a serious tone, Touya is always the worry type and clumsy type of brother, Touko will always be the tom boy and independent, and Bianca is always the clumsy and hurried one.
To Bianca, Touya always has a special place in her heart.
"Oh man Cheren, just give yourself a break, will ya?" Bianca laughs.
"You know, Touya and Touko are not actually related, right?" Cheren says as he stares forward the siblings.
"I know…"Bianca nods, "We all know that."
"Nee… Touya…" Touko asks in a quiet tone, "Why are the wild Pokémon so afraid of human?"
Touya turns to Touko who's calmly staying on his back, "Not all of them. Maybe certain ones. Maybe some trainer mistreat them, they need communications. "
"What if…" Touko asks, looking up to the sky, filled with trees in the pinwheel forest, "we can create a world where Pokémon and Human can get along together?"
"I'm sure we can. Just wait until we pass 10 years old," Touya says with smile on his face, "We can officially become a Pokémon Trainer, you and I can travel Unova together!"
"I can't wait!" Touko says in an exciting voice, with both of her hands up.
"AHH! Touko, don't move so much, I'm losing balance!" Touya struggling not to fall. A small kid like Touya who's the same height as Touko, it is difficult to maintain balance.
"Going journey together?" Bianca run and catches up to Touya and Touko from overhearing their convocation, "Let's do itt!"
"But Bianca you are 2 years younger than us…" Cheren catches up, pushes his black glasses.
"What? So we'll have to wait for 2 more years then…" Touko says in a disappointed tone.
Touya sighs and smiles and looks up to Touko: "Why not? It'll be fun right? All of us start our journey together, and we won't leave Bianca and Cheren behind. " Touya says.
Bianca blushes as she looks at Touya's smile towards her.
Touko thinks, and she nods: "YUPPP!"
So Scared… Human are so scared… The boy hides under the tree, hugging Zorua tightly.
"But…" The boy remembers the bright smile on Touko, it was so bright, as she doesn't seem like a bad person.
"I'm sorry Roggenrola, you have fail me multiple times in battle. You haven't been able to beat the gym leader…"
"Roggen… la…?"
The boy hears the voice, and peeks out of the tree with Zorua. A trainer just leaves his tiny rock Pokémon, and walks away without much of hesitation.
"ROGGENNROLAAA!" Roggenrola cries.
The boy did not have any hesitation, he runs towards the Pokémon, and hugs it tight. The boy looks closely, there are so much battle scratches, and injure. The trainer did not bother bring this Pokémon to Pokémon Center or any type of healing before he releases it… The boy cries.
He can't forgive the horrible things human do to Pokémon. This isn't the first time the boy sees the trainer releases the Pokémon in this forest.
Pokemon are bound to be in the wild…
"Hello my son." A man black cape, with Grey- green long hair, with three stroke of hair on his top, and two side. He has Red eye colour and a scout glasses on his right eye. He bought his men in silver uniform alongside with him. Some are holding flags that have black and white on one side, and a blue font size of P and Z.
The boy hesitates, and sits on the grass. He climbs backwards tries to run away. Zorua jumps in front of him, along with other Pokémon who are trying to protect the boy.
"Who are you?!" The boy asks, his voice is shaking.
"Like I said, you are my son, and I am your father, my name is Ghetsis. I'm here to pick you up, and take you back to our team plasma. Once you are older, you shall be the king. "
"King? Team Plasma?" The boy doesn't understand. If this man is his father, why was he abandon in this Pinwheel Forest when he was young?
"We Team Plasma is here to create the border line between Human and Pokémon. Isn't that your dream? N?"
"My dream… N? Is that…"
"Natural Harmonia Gropius, in short form, N. That is your name, my son."
Being in Team Plasma, he can reach the dream, he can stop the Pokémon suffer from being with Human… He can be the King, and change the world.
Ghetsis stares at N with the straight eye, and a smirk on his face. Waiting on his respond patiently.
N puts his head down, Zorua turns and look at him. He shows no expression.
"Zoru…"
"A young child like you will need more proper care than living in a forest, am I correct? At least you learn survival in the past years alone with these precious Pokémon. Of course you can always visit the Pokémon or we can bring them over to you. You may take whoever you like, but remember, you want those Pokémon to live in the wild."
Without any answers, Ghetsis snaps his finger, two of his men grabs on to N and take him onboard with him. N did not fight back, he just remain with his head down. Zorua came with him.
"Stay, Zorua." N finally speaks, and he looks back to Zorua who's on the grass. N's eyes changed, they are no longer shiny, optimistic and happy, and instead they seem emotionless.
Zorua stops and steps back, it looks at the N, who turns his head back towards his father, its ears are down. N has changed…
