….
…..
Hmm? Oh, hello! It's been a while since anyone has popped in. Since you're here, I might as well introduce myself. I'm Alder, the Champion of Unova! And what's your name?….Oh, (y/n) huh? Well, nice to meet you, (y/n)! To be honest with you, I'm not exactly the Champion anymore, even though I still stand as the final trainer people have to beat in the Pokemon League. Huh? Oh, the actual Champion? Well, she's pretty tough. Oh, you mean her name? Her name is Sora Mayheart, and she's from Nuvema Town. Let me tell you though, (y/n), her journey to attain the title of Champion wasn't easy.
6 months ago, a lot of things happened, and Sora was chosen as the Hero who Seeks Truth, while a boy named N was chosen as the Hero who Seeks Ideals. The legendary Dragon-type Pokemon chose both of them, Reshiram siding with Sora, while Zekrom sided with N. After their final battle, N finally understood why people and Pokemon were together, and to think things out for himself, he left. Things went back to normal for the most part, and Sora continued her travels around Unova with her friends and Pokemon.
But now, a bigger journey is ahead for Sora. And we'll all learn about it in the time to come.
"Come on! Catch it, catch it!"
"Go! Poke Ball!"
"Arrf!"
"Ack! It knocked it right back!"
"Where'd it go? Where'd it go?"
"In the tall grass all the way over there!"
"Well, don't just stand there! Go and get it!"
"What? I can't go in there! My mom says that unless you have a trusted Pokemon partner, you can't go in the tall grass alone or you'll get attacked by wild Pokemon!"
"But how are we supposed to catch that Lillipup, then?"
Someone laughing caused the small group of children to turn around, the Poke ball that had gone flying in the tall grass being thrown up and down in the persons hand before it stopped. "Does this belong to one of you?"
They only stared in admiration while the brown-haired boy who had thrown the Poke Ball nodded, moving forward. "It's mine."
"Well, I found it over there. Are you trying to catch a Pokemon?"
"Yes ma'am. That Lilipup over there," the boy said, pointing over at the Lilipup that had a bored look on its face while it scratched behind its ear, "but every time I throw the Poke Ball, it knocks it back!"
"Hmm…Well, that's a pretty big problem. Thing is, you really can't catch it unless you battle it and weaken it some. If you weaken it enough, it will stop fighting back."
"But we don't have any Pokemon!"
"Miss Sora, can you weaken it for us?"
The Unova Champion smiled as the little girl in the group asked her the question, nodding her head. "Well, I don't see why not! OK! I'll help you guys out!"
"Oh, cool!"
"The Champion is gonna battle that Lilipup for us!"
"You kids stand back some, now. Wouldn't want any of you getting hurt or something!" Sora said, making sure everyone was far away enough before she removed a Poke Ball from her belt, pressing the button in the middle to enlarge it. "All right! Samurott, let's go!"
Samurott materialized from the Poke Ball, landing in front of his trainer, the children staring at him, muttering about how cool and majestic he looked. Sora moved over to her partner and whispered to him quietly. "Be gentle with your attacks. Not full power like we usually do, 'kay?"
"Samu!"
"OK! Samurott, let's start off with Hydro Pump!"
Being as gentle as possible, Samurott used Hydro Pump, hitting the Lilipup that the children had their sights set on. The little dog like Pokemon let out a yelp, already weakened by the water attack. Sora threw the Poke ball at it and watched as it disappeared inside, crossing her fingers as it shook once, twice, thrice, before it finally stopped, confirming Lilipup had been caught. The boy who had been trying to catch the Lilipup ran over to the Poke ball and picked it up happily, his friends right behind him, before they all cheered happily and ran over to Sora.
"Can we see the rest of your team, please?"
Sora smiled, calling out the rest of her team, Minccino, who had been resting in a tree nearby, running over to her and climbing up onto her shoulder.
"Oh, cool! Reshiram is so awesome and strong looking!"
"So is Krokorok! Ground-types are awesome!"
"Charizard is rare here, so he's cooler than any of the others!"
"Sure, but Swanna is so pretty and elegant!"
"Minccino is so cute, though! And soft!"
"Samurott is really awesome! His water attacks are so powerful and awesome!"
Sora giggled slightly as she watched each child interact with her Pokemon, Minccino making one girl laugh as it climbed up onto her shoulder, nuzzling her cheek affectionately. Charizard was enjoying how several of the boys were arguing over him being cool, a relaxed look on his face, along with what Sora identified as a smirk. Samurott was happily enjoying being pet by one boy, rolling over onto his back so his belly could be rubbed. Krokorok just dug a hole for the kids while Swanna was busy showing off her feathers to a group of girls that had gathered around her, all of them staring in admiration as she did a little dance for them. Reshiram calmly allowed each child to pet her snout, purring in content as they did so.
Sora sat near Reshiram's feet, knees pulled to her chest as she thought back to that morning.
"A report has reached my ears of someone far from here. Indeed, this someone has spotted a person like N and a…dragon Pokemon. I depart to substantiate the substance of this information. Until next time, I say cheers to you!"
"Wait!"
"Hm? Yes, what is it, Sora?"
"Looker, please…what region did this person say they saw him in?"
"I'm afraid I-"
"Please, just tell me…."
"…They spotted him in Johto, but like they told me, they said it was someone who looked like him, so it isn't exactly legit. Good day, Miss Sora."
"Yes. Goodbye, Looker."
Even long after the children had thanked her and left, she still remained where she was seated, her Pokemon still out of their Poke Balls. While the majority of them either slept or played, the only ones to really take notice of her sudden silence were Reshiram and Samurott, Samurott laying down next to her and resting his head in her lap while Reshiram allowed Sora to lean into her side.
For the past six months, she had done all sorts of things. With the help of Cheren, she managed to find and apprehend each of the remaining Sages, not counting Ghetsis. After that, she traveled all over Unova again and completed her Pokedex, much to Professor Juniper's joy. Occasionally, she would battle Cheren and Bianca, and sometimes, she would have rematches with the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four. She had recently started traveling to Nimbasa City once a week to ride the Ferris Wheel with an Ace Trainer by the name of Austin, in hopes to help him conquer his fears of riding it over and over, despite the fact that she was still terrified of heights, she had overcome riding the Ferris Wheel. She endured it enough to ride the Ferris Wheel to help Austin.
But it pained her to do so. It brought back too many memories. Austin and his smile would reopen the wounds, since it reminded her so much of his smile. Since Austin was always too busy freaking out about the height, he never would notice Sora's change in behavior. Not many really ever noticed it. Everyone still acted the same. Cheren and his serious behavior, Bianca and her energetic moments, her mother and her motherly love, and everyone else…all the same. And she was so tired of it all.
She was a bit regretful that her adventure was over.
"Ah, there you are!"
Sora and her Pokemon looked off to the side where the voice had come from, most of them running over excitedly to greet their guest, Reshiram and Samurott staying by their trainers side. Alder laughed at their sudden excitement, making his way over to sit down next to Sora.
"Your mother said you were probably down here."
Sora smiled slightly, "Leave it to my mom to know where I'm always at. What brings you to Nuvema Town?"
Alder shrugged. "Just traveling around. Thought I'd pop in to see how Cheren and his team were, but no one was home."
"Cheren is at Victory Road training. His parents anniversary is today, so they probably went to Castelia City for the day. You can probably go find Cheren near the entrance of Victory Road or something…"
"Nah. I figured that since he wasn't here, then I'd come see you, since I haven't for awhile. Something's different about you."
"Like what?"
"You're not acting happy and normal."
She stiffened a bit at his observation, resting her head on top of her knees, "What are you talking about? I'm fine."
"…I heard about N from Looker earlier. He told me about how someone spotted someone that looked like him and Zekrom."
"Yeah…so what?"
Alder frowned, "I thought you'd be happy to hear about that sort of news. I was expecting Looker to say you were, but he said you didn't look like it."
"I'm happy."
"You're a terrible liar, you know?"
She frowned, glancing over at him. "What?"
"Everyone's noticed it. The reason I really did come here was because your mom called me. She's worried about the way you're acting."
"I'm fine."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"…Then how come Marshal told me that you lost your battle with him the other day?"
She chewed on her bottom lip, hugging her knees tighter. It was true. She had been beaten by Marshal in their little battle for fun the other day. She didn't know how it happened, just shrugged it off, even though Marshal persisted the question of if she was feeling okay. "He got lucky…"
"From what he told me, you were distracted and unsure. Throh took down Samurott with a single Brick Break. You didn't look like you knew what you were doing. Sora…everyone's worried."
She sighed sadly, "I…I don't know what to do anymore…I've done everything. I've traveled all around the Unova region, met all sorts of new people and Pokemon, completed my Pokedex, became the Champion of the Pokemon League, and saved the Unova region and the world from Team Plasma. There…isn't really anything exciting left for me to do…My adventure is over."
Alder sighed, shaking his head while placing his large hand on top of the 16 and ½ year olds bandana clad head, causing her to glance at him curiously. "You sure have a negative outlook on things, don't you?"
"Huh?"
"You're adventure in the world of Pokemon never ends, kid!" He ruffled her hair and laughed heartily as she flailed her arms around, "You wanna see everything there is to see, right?" she nodded and he grinned, "Then why don't you go visit the other regions out there?"
"But, I can't leave Unova! My friends and mom-!"
"Baby, you go on and do what you wish." Sora looked over and found her mother smiling softly at her, Cheren and Bianca by her side.
"But-!"
"No buts!" Bianca giggled, Cheren pushing up his glasses.
"Going out and seeing the rest of the world and the Pokemon out there…is something I'm hoping to do when I feel like I'm ready. But you, Sora…you're ready, you can do it."
"But, our pact that we all made! What about sticking together-"
"We'll catch up to you eventually!" Bianca said cheerfully, "How about we meet you halfway? We still need to try and catch up to you!"
Sora smiled and stared at them all, before nodding, "Thanks, guys."
"Where are you gonna head first?" Cheren asked, looking at her questioningly.
"The Johto Region."
Alder didn't need to take a second guess as to why she chose Johto first. He smiled as he watched her walk home with her mother to prepare for her trip.
After all, Johto was where N. was supposedly at.
Green eyes stared out of the cave mouth to watch lightning light up the sky, revealing the waves crashing at the jagged rocks below. A low growl came from the second occupant, the owner of the green eyes glancing over at the large black Pokemon, smiling at it slightly.
"It doesn't surprise me that you enjoy storms, my friend. You are a storm creator back in Unova."
N sighed as he thought about the region he and the Plasma's had terrorized for months, all because of his stupid fathers manipulation on him.
As he recollected the events that had happened all those months ago, he couldn't help but smile when an image of the one who had stopped him before it was too late popped into his head.
Sora was an odd person, but she was probably one of the most sincerest people that existed in the world. A determination to keep people and Pokemon together…it made N admire her. It was true he was nothing compared to Sora, and his sincerity was nothing compared to hers, but…he still wished to be as kindhearted as the young hero.
His lips tingled lightly as he recalled the kiss they had shared before he departed, leaving her behind in tears. He didn't really know why he had kissed her. Part of it was out of impulse, another part was from curiosity of what it would feel like, and the last part…
He just wanted to kiss her, plain and simple. But…he regretted it, just as much as he loved it. Because…
They were too different. Two different people that came from two different worlds….
N decided that he was just a big fool.
A/N: So? What do you think? Pretty good, eh? LEMME KNOW! LATER TATERS!
