Your Love Gave Me Freedom

Chapter 1: Getting Caught in a Rainstorm and Meeting You

"Aria, could you run some errands for me?" My Mother asked as I opened the door.

"Sure, Shopping Mall Nine it is then," I answered as she handed me the pokéball that contained Braviary.

I let Braviary out, as Cheren and Bianca met me at the front of my house. "Where are you going to so early Aria?" Cheren asked as Bianca hugged me.

I smiled. "I have to run some errands for my Mom, so Braviary and I are going to Shopping Mall Nine," I answered as I climbed on Braviary's back.

"Be careful Aria," Cheren warned as Bianca gave me another quick hug. I mean, we're still six years old, but yeah, I'm running errands for my Mother right now.

"Got it!" I called as Braviary took off.

"Come on Braviary, we got to be quick, so Mom can make lunch," I whispered as Braviary sped up.

We made it to Shopping Mall Nine, and picked up the things that Mom needed. The problem was that on the way back, a thunder storm was starting. "Oh shoot! Braviary, do you think you could find a place to land?" I asked, knowing that Braviary was thinking the same thing that I was.

We landed in a nice field, and once I called Braviary back, I stayed under a tree, holding the shopping bag close to me, so it wouldn't get wet. Great, now how are we going to get back in this weather? I know that there's no way that Braviary can fly back in this weather! I thought to myself and for a moment, I couldn't feel the rain hit me.

Huh? What's going on? I wondered as I looked up, there was someone holding an umbrella over me.

"Are you lost?" A boy around my age, who had tea green hair asked as his grayish-blue eyes stared at me. He wore a light brown t-shirt, dark brown khakis, and white sneakers. Around his neck, hanging from a string was a Menger sponge.

Cheren had told me about those, but I still don't get it.

"Um…I'm not lost exactly, but I can't let Braviary fly me back home in this storm," I answered as he helped me up.

"Well, since that's the case, why don't you stay at my house for a while?" He offered as I looked at him.

"Sure, since I'd take somewhere nice and dry instead of wet and cold," I commented as he smiled.

"That's good. By the way, what's your name?" He asked me as I clipped Braviary's pokéball to my belt, since I forgot that I was still holding onto it, and balanced the bag in my other hand.

"Aria Melodia, but you can call me Aria," I replied as I carried the bag in my right hand.

"Well Aria, it's nice to meet you, I'm N Harmonia," he said, introducing himself.

"N? Does it stand for something?" I wondered as he nodded.

"Yes, Natural, but I'd like it if you'd call me N," he explained as he led me to a sort of grassy atrium.

"Sure, whatever you say N," I answered as we sat down under a tree.

A Litwick came over to where we were and sat down in N's lap, while looking at me curiously. "Lit Litwick?" 'Can we trust her?'

I had no idea what it just said, but it seemed that N did. "Don't worry, you can trust her," he answered as he smiled at me.

The rain continued to pour as I realized that most of these Pokémon were mistreated by their trainers, because they apparently only trusted N, and were wary of me.

The Litwick walked over to me and made itself comfortable on my lap. "Litwick LitLit," it said, but I couldn't understand, until I heard a voice in my mind say, 'N's right, she is nice.'

"Hey N, did Litwick just say something?" I asked as N smiled and grinned like I just said something funny.

"Yes Aria, he did, and you heard it," he whispered as it sunk in…for some reason, N could 'hear' Pokémon, and now, I could as well.

There was a huge flash of lightening, and I flinched, but N did notice. "Aria, are you okay?" He wondered as Litwick cuddled closer to me to try and calm me down.

I shook my head. "I just don't like thunderstorms," I whispered as another flash passed, and I flinched again.

"LitwickLit Lit Litwick," 'It'll be okay, so don't worry.' Just the whisper of those words made everything alright again.

"Aria, it will be fine, besides, the storm is almost gone," N commented as I leaned up against him.

I tried to smile. "Okay," I answered as N smiled at me.

I realized that I loved his smile.

Once the sun came back out, N led me back outside and I let Braviary out. As I got onto Braviary's back, N looked up at me. "Can you come back tomorrow?" He wondered as he handed me back the grocery bag.

I took it, thankful that I met him today. "I'll see what I can do N, but I think I'll be able to," I promised as he smiled and pet Braviary.

"Take her home safely Braviary, okay?" he requested as Braviary gave a nod.

Before I could say anything, to N, Braviary took off as N waved and watched me go, I waved back.

I knew that I'd find some way to see him again…
