Hello, welcome to my first ever Pokemon fic with actually people in it. XD. And it ended up being a NXTouko fic, my favorite pairing. Like most of my other stories, it's going to have a lot of action and of course N and Touko moments. Just as a little note Touko is the only name from the Japanese version, everything else uses the English names and such. The reason is because I don't like the name Hilda for the main character. XD So yeah. Enjoy the story!

"Okay Cubchoo! Use icy wind!" cried Touko.

The small bear-like Pokemon inhaled a deep breath before opening his mouth and releasing the ice-type attack against the Zebstrika it was facing. Without even thinking the electric-type horse dodged to the left before charging at the Cubchoo with a flame charge attack. Cubchoo's eyes widen and he covered his eyes with his hands as the huge Pokemon charged towards it covered in flames.

Touko, knowing this could get bad spoke up, "That's enough Zebstrika."

"Zebstrika!" cried the zebra-like Pokemon before the flames around him vanished and he walked over to Touko and the Cubchoo in a slow walk. He gently butted the Cubchoo with his head in a gesture to ask if the young Pokemon was alright. In response the bear made a happy noise and hugged the Zebstrika's head.

Touko sighed and put her hands on her hips. She had been at it for days and still Cubchoo would have trouble dealing with attacks coming straight at it.

"Touko!"

Turning to the voice Touko said happily, "Mom!"

Touko's mother chuckled as she held up a basket. "I brought lunch."

"That's great!" Touko said happily. She turned to her other Pokemon who were relaxing under a tree nearby. Emboar, Carracosta, Hydreigon and Zoroark. They were glancing over at the mention of lunch. "Thanks mom," said Touko as she took the basket from her mother.

"How's the training going?" asked her mother, glancing over at Cubchoo who was now climbing onto Zebstrika's back.

Touko sighed. "I don't know where it's going. Cubchoo is still afraid of battles. Of course I'm not going to give up!" she exclaimed.

Touko's mother chuckled to herself. "Well I know you can do it honey. I mean you did take down Team Plasma and become the new Pokemon league champion. You'll be able to overcome this challenge in no time."

"Thanks mom," Touko said with a grin.

"Well good luck then. Be home in time for dinner tonight. I'm making your favorite."

"Okay mom," promised Touko. She waved goodbye to her mother who had begun the walk back to Nuvema Town. She gave her mom one last smile before turning to her Pokemon. "Okay guys! Lunch time!" She ran over to the tree that most of her Pokemon were resting under followed by Zebstrika and Cubchoo. "Looks like mom outdone herself!" Touko opened the basket and began pulling out the many different types of food her mother had made. Sandwiches of almost every single kind along with some homemade cake with a flask of lemonade.

The pokemon around her gave their approval with their voices as Touko distributed the food out onto the paper plates and handed some to everyone before taking some for herself. As she ate her lunch she thought over what her mom said. Team Plasma. Yeah. That had been a difficult battle and she would have never done it if it wasn't for the help of her friends.

She then thought of the battle against Reshiram. It was hard but in the end she had captured the legendary Pokemon. After her battle against N though she had released the legendary Pokemon since she didn't feel like it was right to keep a legendary Pokemon in a pokeball and use it whenever she wanted it. She knew if she ever needed Reshiram the legendary would come to her aid though. Thinking of that though brought her focus onto N.

She took a bite out of her sandwich as she thought of the green haired man. "It's been half a year hasn't it," she murmured to herself. She could still remember it. N with Zekrom behind him, telling her that she should follow her dream before he jumped on Zekrom's back and flew away to who knows where. Touko leaned her head against the tree and looked up at the blue sky filtering in through the leaves. "I hope you're happy doing what you think is right," she murmured to herself.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned to see Zoroark looking at her with concern. "Oh, I'm fine," she said quickly to the fox Pokemon. She wasn't surprised that Zoroark picked up on her feelings so quickly. Being the only female Pokemon on her main team, Zoroark had become the team mom in a way. She was always in tune to the feelings of the other Pokemon as well as Touko herself.

"Emboar?" Her starter glanced over at her in concern in mid-bite of his sandwich.

Looking at the rest of her team, they were all giving her worried looks. "Thanks guys but I'm fine, really!" said Touko quickly. She gave them a wide grin. "Thanks for worrying about me though!"

Zoroark suddenly her head to the sky and let off a low growl. "What's wrong?" asked Touko. She glanced over to the rest of her Pokemon and saw they all looked on guard too. Cubchoo ran over to Touko and huddled next to her leg. What was going on here? Touko quickly got to her feet and stepped out from under the tree and looked up at the sky. She couldn't see anything. All she saw was bright blue sky with puffy white clouds. Nothing out of the ordinary. Glancing at her Pokemon though, she could tell that something was off. They wouldn't be acting up otherwise.

She kept her eyes peeled as she looked around. Nothing. She couldn't see-wait. The air felt strange now. It was like there was something heavy in it. Was this what her Pokemon were feeling? She heard a loud screech come from above her and she looked up to see the sky suddenly turn into a deep dark purple with other colors laced throughout it. "What's going on here?" she whispered. The air felt heavy and thick and the sky was that odd color. She had never seen anything like this before.

She thought she could hear something that sounded like a roar but it was too far away, whatever it was, for her to really understand what the sound was. Then as the sky suddenly turned the purple color, it reverted back to the normal sky blue. A glance over at her relaxed Pokemon told her that it was over, whatever it was.

She ran over to her bag and pulled out the pokeballs for all of her Pokemon. "Return!" she said as the red light flashed out of the pokeballs as all of her Pokemon returned to them. She put the pokeballs away before quickly cleaning up the plates and shoving them into the basket. She picked up both the basket and her bag and hurried back into Nuvema Town and then to Professor Juniper's lab.

"Cheren, Bianca," said Touko in surprise when she walked in and saw her two friends were in the lab. Professor Juniper was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey Touko," said Cheren. "Did you see the color the sky turned to?"

"It was so strange!" exclaimed Bianca. "I was taking a walk when the sky suddenly lit up and turned purple! I ran over here hoping Professor Juniper could explain and I ran into Cheren doing the same thing."

"The Professor is in the back talking to someone," explained Cheren. "Someone named Professor Rowan I think. Apparently the concentration of whatever happened took place in Sinnoh."

"Sinnoh," repeated Touko. She had heard of that region. It was really far north from here. Some big incident happened with a group called Team Galatic that involved legendary Pokemon and such. She didn't know the details about it though. She was about to ask Cheren more when Professor Juniper walked out of the back room and over to them.

"Looks like all three of you hurried over here after seeing that sky huh."

"What was that Professor?" asked Bianca. "The sky turning purple and all?"

Professor Juniper crossed her arms and a solemn look crossed her face. "Well after it started, Professor Rowan contacted all the professors from the different regions and said the epicenter was in Sinnoh. There was a minor earthquake there along with the sky turning a deep purple and Professor Rowan fears that something bad is going to happen there. The Pokemon league champion of Sinnoh is on the case right now of what is going on over there."

"So it's nothing to worry about?" asked Touko.

Professor Juniper turned her attention to Touko. "Well technically yes. The champion of Sinnoh was also the one to defeat Team Plasma so it shouldn't be too much trouble. However there is something that troubles me." Her eyes were now locked on Touko's. "Professor Rowan said he thought he saw someone riding a huge black dragon-like Pokemon through the sky while the sky was purple."

Touko's eyes widen and she clenched her fists. It couldn't be. Why was N there? What if he was caught up in this mess too? What if he got hurt? Or what if he was involved…

"Touko…" said Cheren.

Touko nodded and lifted her head. "I'm going to Sinnoh."

'What!" cried Bianca.

"Touko," began Cheren. "I don't think-"

He cut off as Touko gave him a look. She wasn't going to let him or anyone sway her in this decision. She would go to Sinnoh. Maybe it was foolish to just go after N but she was curious to what was going on over there too. She was the hero of Unova after all. Maybe she could help with whatever was going on.

Professor Juniper smiled at Touko. "I expected as much from you."

"Well I'm going too then," said Cheren.

"Me too!" said Bianca quickly.

"But it might be dangerous!" cried Touko. She glanced back and forth between her two friends. It was one thing for her to go but for them to go with her? She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if anything bad happened to them!

"Don't worry about us Touko," said Cheren with his trademark smirk. "We can handle ourselves."

Bianca nodded. "Yeah Touko. We'll be alright!"

Professor Juniper chuckled. "Why am I not surprised you three would end up going to Sinnoh? Anyway, I'll get in touch with Professor Rowan and get you some transportation to get there. It's too far to fly using your Pokemon."

"Thanks Professor," said Touko. She smiled and bowed to the Professor. "Thanks for doing this for us."

"Don't worry about it Touko," said Professor Juniper with a laugh. "Plus it'll be good for you three to get out and see the world. Just don't take any unnecessary risks okay?"

"We won't," promised Cheren as he pushed his glasses up his face.

"Well I better go tell me dad so he'll have enough time to calm down after finding out the news," said Bianca before she hurried out of the lab.

Touko realized that she would need to do the same too. She would need to tell her mom about what was going to happen. "I'll go tell my mom too," she said before hurrying out of the lab. Cheren was doing the same, probably to tell his family. Once outside she looked up at the bright blue sky. It looked nothing like how it was only minutes ago. "I will find you N," she promised before running towards her mom's house.
