"So this is Nimbasa City's amusement park," I mused. I looked at Victini on my shoulder. "Team Plasma ran in here somewhere. Let's keep an eye out for them."
"Tiii," Victini said, nodding in agreement. We started to explore the park, when a familiar person caught our attention.
"Victini, is that…N?" No doubt, it was N. There was no mistaking that green hair for anyone else. His back was turned to us, and he looked deep in thought.
"He looks deep in thought," I whispered to Victini. "Let's not bother him." Victini nodded in agreement, and we carefully began to make our way past him. But before we could slip away, I felt a hand grab my shoulder.
"Going somewhere?"
Darn. Caught.
N turned to face me, his emerald eyes glittering with an emotion I couldn't identify. This wasn't like our other meetings, when his eyes were full of sadness. No, this was a new emotion.
"You're looking for Team Plasma, right?" N's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "They ran this way. Come with me."
Yeah, like I really had a choice. N just grabbed my wrist and pulled me along with him, Victini struggling to stay onmy shoulder. N looked around.
"Hmm, they're not here." He turned to me. "Let's ride the Ferris wheel and see if we can spot them from above."
Once again, I had no choice but to go along with him. He still had my wrist in his grip, and pulled me into the car.
Awkward was definitely the best word to describe the situation I was in. We were alone, in a Ferris wheel car, with Victini closely watching our every move.
"There's something I have to tell you," N said softly. "I...am the king of Team Plasma."
The words hit me like one of Victini's Flame Bursts. N, the leader of Team Plasma? Victini sprang to his feet, ready to defend me. N held up his hands.
"No, no, I'm not going to harm you, I promise." Victini backed off. "Ghetsis asked me to work with him to help save the Pokémon." N turned to stare out the window. "I wonder...how many Pokémon exist in this world..." He fell silent then, and nothing more was said until our car reached the ground. Once we exited, two Plasma grunts ran up to us.
"My Lord N! You're safe, sire!" The grunts exclaimed.
"There's no problem," N said, not taking his eyes off me. "There's just something that I have to say."
I blinked at him in confusion. What now?
N tilted his head, smiling slightly. "You know, Hisaye, I've become quite fond of you. You care for your Pokémon, you are kind and strong, and I can tell you have a bright future ahead of you."
"Are you trying to say something?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. N chuckled softly and walked closer to me, moving a few stray strands of hair out of my eyes.
"All I want to tell you is this," he said softly.
"I don't get-mmff!"
What I was about to say died in my mouth when N suddenly pressed his lips against mine. I heard the grunts gasp and felt Victini's surprise practically radiating from him. Not like I could blame them though, I was pretty stunned myself. This came out of nowhere, but for some reason I felt...happy?
N finally allowed the kiss to end, but he didn't pull away from me. He just held me close to him, stroking my hair. "Hisaye...do you understand how I feel?"
"I…" I stuttered. "I think so…"
N smiled and kissed me again, this time I kissed him back. My heart was doing back flips; I couldn't believe this was happening!
I had fallen for the enemy...and I couldn't have been happier.
