Don't Worry
It was a cold, clear, sharp night. The stars were shining brilliantly like diamonds in a treasure trove. They were veiled by the occasionally drifting of opaque mist-like clouds. Down in Castelia city's alleyway a lone man walked. His head wass down, and his dull eyes followed the road without a care. His feet were dragging across the ground. He exuded misery and sorrow, but not all was as it seemed.
"Why are you so sad?" a shadow murmurs, jerking once.
N glares up from under his cap. "Who are you?"
The shadow flickers, drifting randomly. "It was that trouble, wasn't it?"
The frustration quickly vanishes from N's face. He sighs, suddenly looking very tired. His hands clench by his sides and he frowns. Something, an unfamiliar emotion, flits across his face. N turns on his heel and bursts into a run. The memory of earlier replays itself in his mind, and he suddenly knows what's right;
The wind is soft, and the setting sun is gentle. The light catches on her shape easily. She starts to slow, her body language shifting alongside her mood, and she glances over her shoulder.
"N," she breathes, surprised.
"You didn't forget me," he murmurs, slightly taken aback. "How could you…"
"N, you're…" she begins, unsure what to say. "You…"
He tentatively looks at her, almost feeling guilty about it. She hasn't changed since the last time that he'd seen her. It wasn't under the greatest of circumstances either, and they parted ways. He turns away from her, ready to walk out of her life.
"You're leaving again?" she whispers.
"I don't need to stay," he replies.
"I…" she smiles. "Please take care on your journey."
"Thanks,"
Gyoooo!
N pats Reshiram's neck. The Pokémon nuzzles against his hand and begins to descend, slipping between fluffy clouds. N, anxious beyond what he's used to being, leans to his left and peers down at the distant ground. The twinkling lights down below them highlight Nacrene City. His gaze turns longing and he tears his sad eyes away.
Gyoo! Gyeo?
Reshiram quickly leans forward, nose-diving towards the ground at unbelievable speeds. Then, at the last moment, Reshiram pulls itself upright and lands safely. N's hands lash out to hold onto Reshiram, but he tumbles off. He shakes his head and drags himself to his feet. After a deep breath he bursts into a run towards the city's outskirts.
"Wait!" N yells.
"N? What are you doing here?"
He grasps her arm. "Don't walk away,"
She smiles, wrapping him in an embrace. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait for you; don't worry,"
He smiles. "Thank you, Touko…"
Author's Note: Yes, I'm aware that he's not in character. I wanted to show that he misses having someone by his side, and that he's chosen someone that he has a connection with. Touko is that person because they both have the Legendary Pokémon, and their fates were intertwined. I also hadn't mentioned Touko because I didn't really want to; for the sake of the story of course.
P.S. - This is also my comeback. Those of you who have read my other stories will know that my laptop was pushing for retirement, and I'm now working on my new laptop. I will be back to my other stories once I get to my wee stick data saver thingy. Thank you!
