Happy New year dear readers! And welcome to Missing N Action, the sequel to The Pokemon Liberation Project!
My 'name' is Myraah, and I'll be your host. Along with the lovely reshiramgirl88! (go read her stories now-or when your done with this one)
We promised you all a sequel, and a sequel we deliver! First, however, I'd like to draw your attention to the title. It's a pun. For those of you from before, you'll know Reshiramgirl88 and I are a fan of puns. Especially N puns. Like, how we would say N-joy instead of enjoy. So, we used the title as a pun! Missing in action, Missing N action? get it? ehehehehhee...I'm sorry, we're too punny for you all...
er-hem! Next thing on my agenda! This next one is in regard to my other stories. I promised to start writing again for A True Friend, but I haven't been in the mood for it. I won't just leave it, though! I'll get to it!...eventually.
This story takes place two years after the events of Black and White. Enjoy!
"You sure you want to do this?" Looker stared at me with confusion in his eyes. "I mean, Ghetsis is still out there. If he found out you were out looking for his son-"
"Don't worry! I've got it all under control. Besides, I have my Pokémon with me! What could go wrong?" I smiled at Samurott, still sleeping.
"A lot could, big sis," muttered Rosa. I rolled my eyes.
"You worry too much Rosa! You need to lighten up if you're going to start your own Pokémon journey! Speaking of, when do you start? I forgot," I grinned sheepishly.
"I start next week, thank you very much! And if you go, you won't be here to see me take off!" She folded her arms on her chest.
"Aww, I'm really sorry Rosa. But, if I don't take this flight, I won't be able to leave for another month! The flight's a really long one, so it doesn't occur very often."
"Where exactly are you headed, Hilda?"
"Uh, I'm planning on going to Kanto. For the past two years I have searched Unova for N, with no luck. So now I think I ought to look further."
"Kanto? But that's soo far away!" Rosa pouted.
"Sorry, sis. But I've got to see N again! It's been too long." I thought back to that time at the castle. Tears leaked from my eyes.
"Hilda, don't worry," my mother smiled. "We trust you to make the right decision."
"Thanks, mom," I hugged her tightly. Rosa joined in, tears soaking my shirt sleeve.
"Alright, you guys," I murmured, breaking free. "I think I should go get some rest. My flight's tomorrow."
"Alright dear, goodnight," my mother whispered, kissing my cheek.
"G'night mom. Good night Rosa. And goodnight Looker. I'm sure we'll meet again soon."
"Same, Hilda! And to you all, as well. I think I should be leaving now." Looker walked out the front door. I myself headed up the stairs to my room.
"Hilda, get up!"
"Hilda dear, you've been sleeping for a while now. Wake up, honey!"
"Big sis, you'll miss your flight!"
"HILDA!" My eyes jerked open. Both my mom and my sister stood around my bed. I pulled my self up with immense effort.
"What…time is it…?" I yawned loudly.
"Uh, well, it's nine?"
"NINE?" I jumped out of bed. "But my flight's at ten! I'm going to miss it!" I ran down the stairs towards the door.
"NOT SO FAST!" I stopped in place. "Breakfast first!"
"Mom, I don't have time!" I groaned. Ignoring me, my mom pulled out some plates.
"Now, now! I made pancakes!" She piled steaming hot pancakes on my plate. My stomach grumbled.
"Well, they do look good," I mumbled, forking pancakes in my mouth. After I finished a few, I leaped out for the door.
"HILDA! GET BACK HERE!"
"What now?" Rosa giggled.
"Uh, big sis, you do realize you're still in your pajamas?"
"ATTENTION PLEASE. THE PLANE TO KANTO WILL BE HEADING OFF SHORTLY. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR TICKET PURCHASED AND YOUR LUGGAGE READY."
"Well, this is goodbye," I whispered.
"Aww…Hilda!" Rosa hugged me tightly.
"Rosa….I can't breathe," I gasped, loosening her grip on my waist.
"Hilda, I hope you'll come back soon!"
"Don't worry Rosa! And when I'm back, I'll challenge you to a battle! So be ready!"
"I will!" Rosa waved as I walked over to the plane. A tear spilled down onto my cheek. I found my seat on the plane and sat down.
"Welcome to Kan-Un airways!" I looked up to see a teenage girl smiling down at me. "If there's anyway I can assist you, let me know!"
"Uh…thanks?"
"You're welcome! I'm Reina! I'm a new flight attendant! What's your name?"
"My name's Hilda. I'm a Pokémon trainer!"
"HILDA? THE Hilda? Like the one who saved like, all of Unova and took down Team Plasma?" She grabbed my hand and shook it fiercely. "I'm like, you're biggest fan! Hey everybody, it's Hilda!" People around me turned in their seats.
"Are you serious? You're the one who beat Ghetsis?"
"Can I have your autograph?"
"How did you beat all the gym leaders?"
"How did you become the Hero of truth?"
"Or was it the Hero of ideals?" I sunk in my seat as I became surrounded by the other passengers.
"ATTENTION PLEASE. EVERYONE RIDING THE UNOVA TO KANTO FLIGHT SHOULD BE SEATED. WE WILL BE TAKING OFF SHORTLY."
I sighed in relief as the crowed dispersed into the seats of the plane. Reina the flight attendant ran off. I relaxed and looked out the window. After some time, my eyes began to droop, and I let myself fall asleep.
"MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE." My eyes blinked open while the speakers blared. "WE WILL BE ARRIVING IN PALLET TOWN SHORTLY. PLEASE PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE LANDING." I peered out my window to see the sights of PalletTown. It was unlike what I was used to back in Unova. The houses were much smaller, and a bit olden looking.
"Hilda!" I turned to see who was calling me, and to my dismay, it was Miss Reina herself. She plopped in the empty seat by me. "So, what is a Unovan Hero like you doing going to Kanto?"
"Uh, stuff?"
"What kind of stuff?" Geez, this girl was annoying.
"Um, visiting a friend," I half lied. It was partly true. I had hoped to find N in Kanto.
"Really? Where do they live? I can give you a tour around the towns here! I'm on break soon." I rolled my eyes, thankful this girl wasn't smart enough to realize.
"Well, I prefer taking my time looking around. Thanks for the offer though!" I jumped up as soon as the plane landed and the other passengers were getting up. I ran through the crowd off the plane.
"Hilda! You didn't give me your autograph!" Reina called out as I ran through the airport.
"Hilda? Like the Hilda? The one from Unova?"
Not again.
I ran through the airport with a group chasing after me. Slowly my breath began to get heavy. Before long I was gasping for breath.
"Psst!" I turned to my side, to see a teenage boy with tan spiky hair. He gestured for me to follow. Without hesitating, I did just that. Anything get away from this "paparazzi".
"Who are you?" I questioned, once my breath was back to the norm.
"Well, I get called by a lot of names. Gary, Green, Blue…but I'm most comfortable with Blue."
"Blue? That's not a name," I scoffed.
"Well, no, but I prefer the nickname over my name. My rival does too. Everyone just calls him Red nowadays. What about you? What's your name?"
"Hil-White."
"White? That's not a name." I felt my face turn red. I had just met this kid, and he was mocking me!
"Well, if I can create an alternate life here in Kanto, I won't be followed every where for being the famous Hilda."
"Ah. I see. I haven't personally heard of you, but I can guess what you're going through. Well, come with me."
After a bit of walking outside the airport, we arrived at a large building. Doors opened, and I could see we were in some sort of a lab. Men in lab coats ran wild about exchanging "discoveries". A small part of me felt a pang of nostalgia as I remembered my first time going into Professor Juniper's lab.
"Where are we? A lab?"
"Not just any lab…you ever heard of Professor Oak?" I mulled over the thought. The name was hardly familiar, Professor Juniper may have mentioned it once or twice, but besides that I wasn't able to remember.
"Not really," I confessed.
"You haven't? Don't you know who invented the Pokédex you're holding?"
"Uh…"
Blue groaned. "Come with me," he gruffed.
I followed him through the room to a small table with a case on it.
"Gramps? Gra-amps, where are you?" Blue called out. From behind a bookshelf popped out an old man. He pulled a pair of goggles from his forehead and placed them on the book shelf.
"Well hello! Blue- er, Gary, or whatever you call yourself nowadays, who is this young lady?"
"This is White."
"White, eh? I'm Professor Oak! Nice to meet you!" he shook my hand. "So, you're here for a Pokémon, eh?"
"What? No, no I'm not. You see-" ignoring me, Professor Oak opened the case on the table and pulled out the three Poké balls. One by one he sent out three Pokémon I had never seen before. But instantly I fell in love with them. They were soo cute!
"So, which one do you prefer? Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur?" Each looked at me with ambition and adorableness.
"Aww, they're soo cute!" I admired them one after the other. The red one looked as though it enjoyed standing in the spotlight. The blue turtle looked down at it's feet, as though shy. The green one however, wasn't like the first two. It seemed happy and playful. Like me. In fact, they all reminded me of Cheren, Bianca, and myself. I pulled the green one into a hug.
"So, Bulbasaur is your choice?"
I looked up at the professor. "If that's what this little guy's name is, then yes!"
I had come to Kanto on search of N, but I could train some Kanto Pokémon and look for him…right?
"Alright!" the Professor handed me a Pokéball. "Take care of Bulbasaur!"
"Hey," asked Blue, "why did you come to Kanto?"
"Me? I came to find an old friend of mine-his names N. Green hair, tied in a ponytail, ever heard of him?"
"No. Why? Is he your boyfriend?" Blue smirked. An assistant behind me laughed. I glared at Blue.
"No, he's not. Just a friend who went missing two years ago. Not like you would care. But, if I go and train this little fella, do you think people that see me will act like they did at the airport?"
"Uh, good point. Here." He shuffled through a random drawer behind him and tossed a pile of clothes at me. A turquoise tank top, a red skirt.
"Wear that. They won't recognize you." I went off to try it on. When I was done, I went back to the front where Blue was.
"Wow, she looks just like Leaf, Gramps."
"I guess he does," murmured the Professor.
"Uh, who's leaf?"
The assistant from before walked over to me. "His girlfriend," he whispered, smirking.
"What?" Blue's face turned red. "She is NOT my girlfriend." I laughed.
"Yeah. Whatever," I waved before walking to the door. "See ya later!"
I let the cool breeze of Pallet Town greet me at the exit to the lab. The lush, green grass, flowing like a calm wave, the trees whistling in the wind. It was nothing like Nuvema Town, where everyone was trying to get the latest technology and sat inside all day. Well, maybe it was, but I had been engulfed in materialistic things all my life. Even when I went out for my journey…
I sent out Bulbasaur. "Hey buddy," I whispered, rubbing his forehead. He smiled at me with a genuine look in his eyes. "Do you wanna come along with me on my journey?" He nodded quickly.
"Great," I smiled. I think you and I will become good friends."
"Hey!" I turned around. A girl younger than myself ran over to me.
"Um, I'm Layla," she gasped. I looked at her with a confused gaze.
"I'm White. Do I know you?"
"N-no, but the thing is, I just got my Pokémon! A-and, I kinda wanted to go on my Pokémon journey with someone else…" she looked down at her feet. I thought about it. If she joined along, people might have less chance of noticing me! Besides, the more eyes on the look out for N, the better!
"Alright, Layla! I'll go with you!"
"Really?" She jumped in the air, her navy blue curls bouncing up and down. "Thank you! I'm Layla, if I didn't make that clear yet."
I laughed. "Don't worry, you did."
And thus begins chapter 1 of this story! I hope you enjoyed it!
Read, and review, and read again! Because reading is fun!
