he brown spiky haired boy in black pyjamas and brown bed headed girl in white pyjamas woke up in his best friend's bedroom in Nuvema Town. Touya and Touko have just woken up from their extended sleep over after the lesson with Gris and Grace about Alternate Black and White Version Realities. They decided after experiencing something sad and depressing that they should sleep in and dream together doing something that only in their dreams they could imagine happening... like dreaming of getting married in various chapels and gardens... dreaming it repeatedly until Touko was satisfied. After each dream marriage, Hilda would kiss Touya up and hug him to death. She would keep on kissing and cuddling with Touya until Touya would imagine another wedding scenario with a different priest and different place. But after each wedding Hilda would do the same thing to Touya because she loved her just that much and wished that marriage was real...
Touya promised her that if the time comes when they grow older he will ask her the serious question. When Hilda heard this, she broke out in blushes, jumping, screaming, and excessive kissing all over his face. It was when that happened when they woke up. Hilda still had Touya's old sewn up Blitzle Doll in her hand as she and he woke up in their sleeping bags.
"... Yawn... good morni-AH!", Touya's morning greeting was interrupted by Hilda's kissing and hugging. At the window sill there stood a Pidove looking at the two cuddling and kissing each other. The bird Pokémon almost blushed at the sight.
"I love you so much... you make my dreams feel like reality Touya. Don't ever think I'd leave you." Said Hilda as she rubbed her cheek against his. Touya's right eye closed as the happy brunette girl cuddled his face and kissed him repeatedly.
"Why do you love me?", asked Touya with a serious tone. Touko stopped and backed her head and looked at Touya's face. Her big blue eyes were so beautiful Touya couldn't help but feel hypnotized... until Hilda replied.
"I love you because I love you. You've been my first and my best friend for so long... and through that time you helped me overcome my challenges. Not like helping me beat the Pokémon League, but like personal challenges like making new friends, getting over my fear of heights, not being able to swim like you can, and cheering me up when I lose a battle or just feel low on self-respect. Even if you hurt me because of your paranoid Nightmares and thoughts I'll still love you... When did we start loving each other Touya? I think it was after the Pokémon League... but we haven't confessed it until you started giving me gifts like Big Pearls, Heart Scale Bracelets, and other things like that. Remember that? You're so sweet and I love you! I love you so much!" said Hilda again as she was about to bombard Touya's face with kisses but Touya pushed her away and asked her another question.
"But don't you think I'm selfish? I mean if you think about it I over react whenever I hear anything about you and N together... Just thinking that makes me so sad and yet so... mad..."
Hilda hugged Touya and whispered into his ear before he could finish his statement.
"Don't think about me and N ever becoming what you dare to dream about. It's only an Unreal Nightmare that you have there. The day I leave you for N is the day your Nightmares come true... and your Nightmares will never come true... now let me kiss you!", said Hilda as she smiled and giggled as she was about to unleash her kisses on him again. Touya thought about one last thing and asked her before she could come in for another round of pecking.
"What about the Team Plasma survivors at Orre? Should we spend more time here or should we get packed for a trip to the desert region? I doubt Michael could hold on for much longer with their new tactics..."
"Tell you what, in four days we leave for Orre. In the meantime, let's have some fun and pack at the same time. We can go shopping for Hyper Potions and other medicines for our Pokémon and hang out where ever we want to. We can even go spend a night or two at Castelia's Four-Star Hotel with all our money we got and enjoy some luxury together. I'll pay for it!"
Touya then looked at Touko's cute grin at the close distance they are and said to her.
"No. I'll pay for it. I got more money than I know what to spend it on."
"Both you and I know we're filthy rich after beating the Pokémon League over and over again with Amulet Coins on your Samurott and my Emboar. I heard we might even be richer than that rich family that lives in that villa in Undella Town... just imagine what you and I could do with our money combined..."
"We could buy all of Unova...", suggested jokingly by Touya. Hilda giggled and cuddled with him again.
"An entire region? How about two? No... three?" asked Hilda playing along.
"Which one? We got Unova... do you want Johto? Orre? Kanto? How about Hoenn? I hear Oblivia is a great region with its islands and scenery... oh wait I got a better idea! I'll buy the world for you! No... I'll buy a planet! A new world! A new solar system! A-"
Before he went on Hilda interrupted him by saying.
"That's sweet... but you can't buy what you already have... that just doesn't make any sense... and it doesn't even make sense in the first place even buying it because it's not on sale."
Touya gave her a confused look... the bed headed brunette girl giggled and said.
"You already have my heart... You can't win hearts truly by buying them with stuff or paper or coin money... that's just wrong and boring..."
"Boring?," asked Touya curiously. Hilda slipped out of her sleeping bag and revealed her white pyjamas to the light in the room. She moved up to Touya who was still in his sleeping bag and looking at her with a curious expression. Hilda leaned her head again only an inch away from each other's faces with her body laying on top of his sleeping bag. Touya blushed as Hilda whispered.
"Yes... boring... buying a heart doesn't get you the fun in trying to get it... it's like giving a Rare Candy to a Pokémon to level it up without needing it to go into battle... it's no fun. You lose the fun in training. And you, Touya, are a really good trainer!" exclaimed Touko giggling and blushing as she hugged him through the sleeping bag. Touya's eyes opened wide and he blushed and smiled slightly as the also blushing brunette girl cuddled closer and closer to his face for another kiss. As soon as they kissed again the door swung open and there was Hilda's mom!
"... oh?...", Mom said when she saw her teenage daughter laying on top of her best friend's sleeping bag with him in it. Hilda looked back at her mom still blushing red on her cheeks. Touya's quick reaction to the sound of the door swung open was to close his eyes and act like you're asleep.
"I knew something like this would've happened... considering you two are practically..."
"MOM! Why?! Why you come in here without knocking first and wait for me to answer like we discussed?!" exclaimed Touko embarrassed and shaken. Her grammar was a little bit off. The white pyjama clad girl sat up straight on Touya's sleeping bag and made Touya feel a little uncomfortable with her positioning. The Pidove at the window was joined by two more Pidoves.
"This is what happens when he comes over for sleepovers? You two better not be... well... better not be doing anything bashful or anything. I know you two are boyfriend-girlfriend but know the limits alright?"
"Limits?", asked Hilda to herself as her mother announced that breakfast is ready and that she was worried because they didn't come out of the room around the usual time.
"One last thing... were you about to kiss him in his sleep?" asked Mom to the girl in the white pyjamas with the Blitzle doll in her hand. Hilda blushed and replied.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
"Y-Ye- N-N-No I was just making s-sure he wasn't cold. I was hugging him to give him extra warmth."
Mom looked at her teenage daughter with an expression that clearly said.
"Ha! Likely story. Tell me for real it's okay just tell me if you really were going to kiss him that way I can tell his mother-"
Just then Touko's Mom froze in place for a second staring off into space while Touko admitted that she was indeed going to kiss him. Touya was listening to the entire conversation through but he wondered why Touko's Mom suddenly stopped talking...
"...You know what? I think I'll just take another nap. You kids have fun... Just don't have too much fun alright? Breakfast is ready when you are. I'll be right down to clean your dishes..."
Touko's Mom walked out of the room looking a bit nervous or even terrified of something. She closed the door and immediately ran to her room as if she were running from a ghost.
Hilda sat there on top of Touya's sleeping bag wondering why that happened. Touya still had his eyes closed. The white pyjama girl ignored the strangeness of her mom and instead turned her attention to the boy she's sitting on. She started to unzip his sleeping bag.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!"
"It's cold..." whined the brunette girl, " I just wanted to get closer to you... so that you can keep me warm."
"You have your own sleeping bag! Did you forget? Please remember or ask before you try doing something like that again... And what happened to... actually never mind I don't want to know."
Hilda smiled a little as she slipped back into her sleeping bag. She scooted herself next to Touya and unzipped his bag again. Touya stopped her and asked why and she said.
"I want you to hug me! Please? You're so nice and warm and I just want a little love hug..." whined Hilda again cutely. Touya's face became really red as Hilda scooted her sleeping bag into Touya's sleeping bag. With Touya's sleeping bag enlarged, Hilda zipped the bag back up and turned herself around even though the bag was very tight for the both.
"Hug me..." said Hilda as she hugged Touya through her sleeping bag and cuddled with his face. They both blushed as they held each other close. Touya looked so very red but Hilda reassures him.
"It's okay. This is as close as I want to get to you... just forget the Nightmares and look into my eyes while you hold me tight..."
Touya did as was instructed. He closed his eyes and felt a soft kiss from the girl in white pyjamas again. The spiky haired boy blushed as did the girl.
"For the next few days... let's have some fun and get work done in preparation for our trip to Orre. We'll go to Castelia soon and maybe find a hotel or something, a luxury hotel in the city or maybe the rumoured paradise hotel the Unity Tower. Maybe we'll make a new friend or see new Pokémon at that place... then we'll see what we do next."
"Forget the pain. I love you because I love you. You helped me with my problems I'll return the favour."
"I love you too Hilda... I'm glad we're in the same world together... Black and White..."
"What are the limits?", asked Hilda curiously about what her mother said before.
"I don't want to talk about it. Just don't give me too much love... or things make look weird if you know what I mean..."
"No I don't know what you mean." Replied Hilda to the boy in black pyjamas. Touya hugged her closed and nervously gave her a hint.
"... it...um... ah it's like... Black and White... Making little shades of Grey... Now you get it?"
"Oh you mean like too much kissing and eventually we'll be merged into one person? Black and White together makes a new being? Like how Reshiram and Zekrom merged together makes the original dragon which I presume is grey... Not sure if Kyurem is supposed to relate to them... wait um... is that what you mean? Merging to become one being?"
Touya looked at her with eyes wide in shock. Obviously, she hasn't been given "The Talk". Touya smiled nervously.
"Um um ah yeah yeah sure it's like that. Even though quite frankly that sounds completely ridiculous."
Hilda giggled.
"You and I deserve to have each other but we shouldn't even think about loving each other too much until maybe after marriage."
"What is loving each other too much? Too much love? Is there a such thing?" asked Hilda as she relaxed in Touya's warmth from his arms and body
"Loving each other too much... like forcing yourself in my sleeping bag demanding hugs and kisses."
"Oh! Oh sorry! I didn't know it could be too much. I'll go then."
Hilda stretched her arms for Touya's zipper and unzipped the bag. She unzipped her bag and crept out of both the sleeping bags feeling fine. Hilda looked down on Touya and asked.
"So... is that good enough?"
"Wait a sec..." said Touya as he slipped out of his sleeping bag and stood up next to his best friend. Her bed head was abnormal but she still had that cute smile that made his hear feel heavy with how much he truly loved her. Touya looked at Hilda and Hilda looked back at him. By this time there were at least ten Pidoves at the window sill looking at them.
"You're so cute Touko..." said Touya before he stretched his body. Hilda giggled and blushed and said to him.
"You are too Touya. You look good stretching yourself like that... hah... Yeah."
One tooth brushing and changing into casual gear later...
Touko and Touya are now eating breakfast. Egg omelettes served with small bits of Tomato Berry and other condiments. Chesto Berry juice were given to them as an aid to help them feel more awake in the morning. In the middle of munching on his omelette, Touya asked the shorts girl eating next to him.
"Hey um... one question for you... when you heard Gris explain on how my Alternate committed suicide after leaving Entralink with your Alternate with the Blitzle doll... How did you feel? Did you feel sad? How did you feel?"
Hilda stopped eating and placed her fork down on the plate. The ponytail-through-cap girl moved her head down and thought about it for a few seconds... then she turned to the blue jacketed boy next to her who asked her the question.
"I felt... Crushed... I felt... like if I were in the situation my Alternate was in I too would throw myself off the Dragon spiral Tower. Crying and leaning against the window between my world and your new world... it's just depressing... Seeing you leave me after waiting who knows how long for you... I... I guess I would just live the rest of my life without you... enjoy playing with my Pokémon and other friends... live and be the heroine I've been born to be for my region...for the good of all of us... except the ones who are dead and are in another reality."
"So... you wouldn't commit suicide?"
"At first I may consider it but then I'll remember all of the things we built and protected while we had each other... becoming champion and all... keeping Team Plasma disbanded... I guess I would stay for the world we used to rule together. In your name I would defend everything from the forces of darkness. The evil that tries to take over my world... our world. Then when it's done I'd celebrate with returning home as the hero. Never let a single man or Pokémon fall to the enemy... but that is when we'd rule the world... even if I rule alone..."
Hilda realized she might be speaking something weird at that moment but Touya interrupted him.
"... so, would you miss me?"
"Are you kidding?! Of course, I would miss you! Not a day would pass without me thinking of you! My first and my best friend! I would never forget you!"
"... alrighty then.", said Touya with a smile. Hilda smiled back and they continued to eat their breakfast.
An hour after breakfast they were already at Castelia City. They bought themselves food and supplies for their Pokémon and requested a fine place to stay. The Unity Tower is their next destination.
To be continued...
