"What's wrong with me?" Akari sat against a tree, her face in her hands. Reshiram nudged her shoulder, letting out a concerned growl. She smiled wearily and stroked its snout.
"I'm OK, Reshiram. It's just…I think…I miss N." Reshiram growled again. It knew what Akari was feeling. Ever since it had accepted her at N's castle, it had known that the girl had feelings for the young man that Zekrom, its legendary counterpart, had chosen to stand beside. Akari yawned.
"It's late Reshiram. Let's get some sleep." Reshiram curled around Akari, and she leaned against its vast white body, looking up at the bright moon.
"N…" she murmured before falling asleep. Two of her other Pokeballs opened up, and out came Samurott and Victini. The two Pokémon curled up next to their trainer and dozed while Reshiram kept a silent vigil. All of a sudden Reshiram looked up at the sky and growled, waking Samurott and Victini as it saw a black and blue shape in the sky. It knew that shape. It was Zekrom. The huge black Pokémon slowly descended to the ground, and a green haired young man slipped off its back. That young man…it was N!
"Reshiram, Samurott, Victini, it's been a while," he said softly. Samurott inclined his head, and Victini yipped excitedly, scampering around N as he came closer to Reshiram. Reshiram lifted a wing, revealing Akari's sleeping form. N knelt beside her, stroking her face gently. Reshiram bent its head and nudged Akari's neck. She stirred and moaned sleepily.
"What is it, Reshiram? I…" she broke off, her eyes widening as they opened and landed on N.
"N…?" She choked. "It…it is you…" He nodded, pulling her close to him.
"I missed you, Akari. I didn't know if you hated me or not, but I just had to see you again." Akari was silent for a moment, and then she seized him around the neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and cried.
"Oh N," she sobbed. "I missed you too! I wanted to see you again too!" N hugged her tightly, feeling his stomach flutter, as it always did when he was around Akari.
"Akari, I want to ask you something," he said softly. She looked up at him, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Yeah, N? What is it?' Her voice still quivered. He locked his eyes with hers and took a deep breath.
"Will you…allow my friends and me to travel with you?" Akari's eyes widened and filled with tears again, but this time they were tears of joy.
"Of course! We'd all love to have you travel with us, N!" Victini yipped excitedly, scampering about with delight. Samurott did an odd kind of back flip. Reshiram raised its head toward the sky and uttered a ringing roar, Zekrom responding likewise. Once the noise died down, N looked up at the moon.
"You must be tired now, Akari. Shall we get some rest?" Akari nodded and leaned back against Reshiram. Zekrom curled around N and lay next to Reshiram. Samurott curled up next to Akari, and Victini curled up next to N. Once they were all asleep, N opened his eyes and looked over at Akari. He reached over and pulled her against him. She sighed and nuzzled against his chest. Blushing a little he murmured in her ear.
"Sleep well Akari. I love you…"
