Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon.

A/N: The cover picture inspired this story. Also, if any of you have ever watched Ef- A Tale of Melodies, than you are awesome. I really love Kuze and Mizuki. They have a large age difference but love each other. I predict them having an age difference of 8 to 12 years. This story is sort of going to be like that.

Ages: Touko-8 and N-19

Touko's POV

I was walking through the woods that were right next to my home town, Nuvema Town. I loved to explore the wilderness and see all of the wild Pokémon. I was climbing over a dead tree that lay on its side when I heard a noise. It sounded like a quiet sobbing sound, like someone was crying. My mind told me to run back home but my curiosity got the best of me. Mommy said that I've always been the oddball that likes to check out the dangerous things. I weaved my way through the trees and brush towards the source of the sound. I made it to a small clearing where I saw a boy leaning against a tree crying. His knees were drawn up to his chest as he cried. He looked like a teenager. He was tall and had long tea green hair. "Hello" I called out quietly from the tree I was behind. The boy's head shot up and started scanning the surrounding area.

"H-H-Hello?" the boy called out.

"Hi" I said while stepping out of the clearing but keeping my distance from the boy. Mommy said to stay away from strangers. As I stepped in to the light, I could see him more clearly now that I was closer to him. He wore long tan pants, a white dress shirt over a black turtle-neck sweater, green sneakers, black and white hat, a gold cube hooked on his pocket, gold bangles, another bracelet, and a strange necklace. His face was tear-stained.

"W-Who are you?" he asked me.

"My name is Touko White. What about you?"

"Natural Harmonia Gropius, N Harmonia for short."

"What's wrong mister?" I asked the boy, N.

"Nothing" he mumbled.

"Liar! You're crying so something is obviously wrong" I huffed while crossing my arms. I started to tap my foot, impatiently waiting for the truth.

"Maybe you should just mind your own business, little girl" N growled out. I was unfazed. I stared at him determinedly and sat down in the grass in front of him. I smoothed out my dress and scooted closer to the boy. N sighed. "You're not going to leave unless I tell you what's wrong, are you?"

"Nope" I said with a sickly sweet smile on my face.

"Fine. I'll tell you, but only because I have to get this off my chest." I nodded in encouragement. "I'm sad because my father kicked me out. He said that I am a freak that has no heart, and that's why I don't have any friends. How can he do that? I am a king. Literally, I am or was the King of Team Plasma. My father, who is a lower authority than me, kicked me, the King, out of my castle" N said before crying again. I felt bad for the boy and stood up from where I was at. He lowered his legs and straightened them out on the ground. I walked up to N and wiped away his tears with my thumbs. He opened his eyes and watched me as I continued my actions.

"I don't think you're a freak, N. Besides, we can prove your father wrong. I'll be your friend" I said happily. N seemed like a nice guy.

"R-Really?" N asked me.

"Really." I put my hand out for N so that I could help him stand up. He gently grabbed my hand, and I tried to pull him up. N laughed at my struggle with his weight. I put my other hand over his and used all my strength to pull him up. He pushed his other hand off the ground and helped me help him. He stood up to his full height. He was really really tall. The top of my head only reached his belly. I grabbed his hand and led him towards my house.

"You're pretty cute, Touko. I like your outfit too" N said.

"Thanks" I replied while looking down at my outfit. I had on a white dress with a small black vest over it and small black boots. I hated dress shoes. My hair was in a ponytail with two small strands loose on either side of my face to frame it. A small pink clip pinned back each of my two loose strands. "So how old are you?" I asked N as we walked.

"Nineteen. What about you?" N asked.

"Eight. I'll be nine in a few months" I said proudly while pumping a fist in the air. N laughed at my actions. I ignored him and picked up my pace towards my house. We dodged trees and rocks as we walked. My house came into view, and we burst into the open, the wall of trees behind us. "Here we are, Nuvema Town!" I stated, throwing my arms out to add a dramatic affect to our arrival.

"This place looks homey. It is small and has a comforting feeling to it" N said.

"Why don't we go see my mom? Maybe, she can help you find a place to stay."

"Touko, I never said that I was looking for a place to stay."

"But you said that you got kicked out of your castle, right? If so, then you need somewhere to stay" I concluded.

"Fine" N sighed.

"Yeah! Afterwards, we can play, right? I have a whole bunch of stuffed animals or maybe we can play house or maybe we can dress up?" I blurted out.

"Uh…I don't know" N said awkwardly.

"Please" I whined. I clasped my hands together and made a pouty face. I looked up at N and stared at him, trying to make a cute face.

"Touko, I really don't—" N started saying. I cut him off by crying. N is a big meanie. He doesn't want to play. I looked up at him with my big blue eyes. N started to panic and look around frantically like he didn't know what to do. I ran away from him and into my house. My mom heard me come in and looked at me. She ran to my side once she saw that I was crying.

"Oh sweetie, what's wrong?" my mom asked.

"My new friend won't play with me. He needs a place to stay so I told him that you could help him find a place. Then I asked him if he wanted to play, and he said no" I explained while sniffling.

"Honey, doesn't he have any parents? Is he lost? What does your little friend look like? What is his name?"

"His daddy kicked him out of his castle. He was a King there. I think he is outside somewhere. His name is Natural" I said. Mommy gave me a hug. I heard the doorknob turn behind me, and I glanced over my shoulder. The door swung open and a panic-stricken N stood in the doorway. He spotted me and rushed to my side. He knelt down on one knee and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Look Touko, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just never had a friend to play with, so when you asked me, it made me nervous. I felt like if I played with you than I wouldn't know what to do. I promise I'll play with you later, okay?" N promised. I wiped my face with the back of my hand and studied N's face. He seemed sincere. I sniffled before giving him a weak smile.

"I forgive you, N" I said while giving him a hug. His body tensed up under me, but he hesitantly returned the gesture. Hasn't anyone given him a hug before?

"Y-You're Natural?" my mom stuttered out.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. White" N greeted with a slight bow.

"Oh my, when Touko said that she made a new friend, I thought she meant someone much younger. But now that you are here, I understand. Touko said you needed a place to stay, right?" mommy asked N.

"Yes, ma'am" N said.

"Well there is a house up for sale nearby. It's only a few houses down. You could stay there. Do you have any money?"

"Yeah, I have plenty of money" N said.

"Well then, why don't we go check out that house?" my mom said. She grabbed my hand and led us to the door. I tore my hand away from my mom's and grabbed N's instead. He seemed a little surprised but didn't pull away from my grasp. He looked down at me and smiled. I smiled up at him in return. I pulled him towards the house for sale and let my mom follow behind.

"Here we are" I said while walking up to the front door and opening it. Inside, there was a small kitchen and living room from what we could see. N walked around looking at every little detail of the house. Once we looked at the downstairs, which consisted of a living room, kitchen, bathroom, closet, and washer and dryer room, we went upstairs. The upstairs had a bedroom, guest room, bathroom, another closet, and a small room for anything you wanted.

"Wow, this place looks so big with no furniture in here" my mom stated.

"Yeah. I like it. It's like a giant play house. What do you think, N?" I questioned the tall boy as he inspected everything.

"I think that it's…perfect" N praised.

"It's a little big for one person, but it is cheap. Houses in little towns are never very much money" mommy said.

"That's okay, as long as I know someone around here, I'll be okay" N said while winking at me. I giggled. N was strange, a good strange. After we left the house, my mom wrote down the phone number of the old owners, and we walked back home. The house that was for sale was four houses down from my own. It was a short walk. Once inside my house, my mom grabbed a phone and dialed the number of the people that wanted to sell the house. She handed N the phone. N talked to the old owners for an hour before he hung up. He was grinning uncontrollably.

"Well, did you get the house?" my mom asked N.

"Yep, and they even lowered the price because I'm unemployed and only nineteen. They said I can move in right away and will send the deed over in the mail. I just have to sign the transfer papers and send them back when I'm done, then the house will officially be mine" N said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! N's going to be one of our neighbors. Now, I can see him anytime I want" I cheered while dancing around the room. N laughed and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. I stopped dead in my tracks as I realized something.

"N, you still need to buy furniture. How are you going to afford all of it?" I asked him. N chuckled.

"Don't you remember that I said that I was a King? I have all of the money I need. Trust me, there is more than enough to last me a life time" N said like it was nothing, waving it off with the wave of his hand.

"Wow, so you're rich?" I said with awe.

"I guess" N said nonchalantly.

"Wow, when Touko said that you were a King, I thought she was joking" my mom said in disbelief.

"Nope" N said.

"Then why are you moving into such a small town and in such a small house? You could live in a mansion or condo in some fancy city or something" my mom questioned.

"Well, I don't know anybody outside my castle. I don't even know the region very well. My father never let me leave the castle" N sighed.

"Well now you know us, and I can show you around the surrounding area" I suggested.

"That sounds amazing, Touko" N beamed.

"I can even introduce you to my friends. Maybe, they'll want to be your friend too" I said.

"Maybe" N said unsurely then frowned.

"Don't be such a frowny pants. I'm sure they'll love you" I said. "Now come on, you got your house so let's play. I want to play house." I grabbed N's hand and dragged him up the stairs and into my room. My room contained a single bed, a TV and Wii, computer, toy box, dresser, tote full of dress up clothes, and small play plastic kitchen. The kitchen was fully stocked with plastic utensils and plastic food. "Okay, so you can be the daddy, and I'll be the mommy."

"Ummm, how does that work out exactly? I'm like eleven years older than you. Isn't that sort of wrong?" N asked me. I stared at him with a blank expression. The only hint that I gave him to show that I heard him was that I blinked a few times. "You know, falling in love and getting married with that much of an age difference?" N said to clarify things more.

"Ohhh" I said. "Haven't you played house before? This isn't real. We can pretend that we're the same age, silly." N started blushing out of embarrassment.

"I told you that I never played any games with anyone before. I've only played games that can be played by myself. I did have sisters, but they weren't much fun. They didn't like to play many games. If they did want to play a game, then it was either a board game or just playing with Pokémon, nothing else."

"Sorry" I said apologetically.

"Huh? For what?"

"Sorry, that you didn't have anyone to play with" I said sadly, tears started to form at the corners of my eyes.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I've got you to play with now" N said. He wiped away my tears with his thumb like I did to him earlier. I gave him a small smile.

"Let's get started" I announced. I grabbed my small white chef's hat out of my dress up tote and put it on N's head after removing his cap. I grabbed the apron too and slipped it over his head and tied it around his back. I threw on a pair of pink fairy wings. I grabbed a wand and spatula. N took the spatula from my hand and stood on his knees in front of my fake stove. He pulled out a pan and threw on some fake burgers. He flipped them like he was cooking for a BBQ while whistling at the same time.

"I'm home" I called out as I walked up to N. I pecked him on the cheek. He stopped his whistling and his face turned a little red. He shook his head before looking at me.

"How was your day at work? Did you grant anyone's wishes?"

"Yep" I chirped. "I helped a few people. But right now, I just want to relax. I'm exhausted from using my magic powers. I want to talk about what you did. I really missed you since I love you so much."

"I missed you too. I actually just got back from work. My team and I had to explore the candy jungle. We discovered a secret chocolate spring" N said, trying to sound convincing but failing. We looked at each other a laughed. I fell onto the ground with N beside me. He was so weird, but I like weird. We are going to be good friends.

A/N: Sorry, if you thought this idea was stupid. Also, stop reading if you have a problem with romances that have large age differences. Review and tell me what you think.
