Hello there! This is going to be a short little drabble collection (five in total) about the different times White and N met. I know technically they met more than five times in the games, but I'm just handpicking five. First is Accumula Town. Hopefully they'll all tie in together well. XD

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! :D

Autumn

The first time she saw him the air was cold with beginnings and the fresh smell of autumn. Easily overlooked and yet starkly contrast he stood in that heaping crowd of people, seemingly unnoticed.

She was new, inexperienced, and a little afraid of the big wide world ahead of her. She had her bag, the clothes on her back and a Tepig in her arms but really that's all she had to her name. A new start as a new trainer, something she'd pined after for years and yet when she actually stepped foot out into the forest and walked away from her quaint hometown, it was a little scary.

She wobbled into the crowd, Cheren and Bianca at her sides. No one seemed to know why people were forming a tight bunch in the middle of Accumula Town, but everyone followed in suit, wanting and pushing to find out what was going on.

She'd never heard of Pokémon liberation before, and as she listened, only hearing snippets of the talk, her starter Pokémon squealing and flinching away as people shoved against one another, she couldn't quite understand. The pure concept of willingly handing over her friends seemed as if it was a joke.

The crowd dispersed as easily as it'd formed and she was left nearly alone, accompanied by her friends and staring at a tall boy, staring back at her. Their eyes met for a brief moment, confused blue against a lost grey. He was lost, she could tell. Although, she didn't know how or where or even his name. He just simply looked as if he wasn't sure what to do.

Whatever doubts or confusions she'd had regarding this Pokémon liberation she'd heard of, he put to rest. He talked as fast as a fleeting thought and with the careful caress of someone who knew so much more than she could fathom.

But even though their battle, and as she watched his smooth gait as he walked away, she still had the same feeling about him. She was new, a beginner, scared and inexperienced and yet she knew one thing: he was a lost soul in a crowd of veterans. She felt lost in her own way, being so new to the world, just opening her eyes, but with one look she knew he was far more lost than she.

That cold autumn day was, in looking back, a turning point for her, although she'd never have guessed it, only thinking about how not to make mistakes and the oddly fascinating stranger in a crowd full of people told to give their partners away.
