Welcome to my first Pokémon one-shot, featuring one of my favorite pairings, which is ToukoXN, also known as FerrisWheelShipping. This is set after BW but before B2W2. Enjoy the fluffiness!

I looked to the sky and watched Zekrom fly away from the entry of the castle. N was beaten, Ghetesis was defeated. And I was broken hearted. I, being the stupid lovesick teenager I am, have fallen in love with the boy currently flying to his freedom, the boy that became my sworn enemy. I did the only thing I could think of at the moment. I sank to the ground, surrounded by my team, and I cried. Eventually, the gym leaders, Elite Four, and Champion Alder caught up with me and saw the devastation in the room we fought in. I got up, dried my eyes, and greeted my friends, who congratulated me on my triumph over Unova's biggest threat.

But my heart wasn't in it.

Two years have passed, and N still crosses my mind every day. When he told me he was the King of Team Plasma at the Ferris Wheel in Nimbasa, I cried after he left. I miss the way his uniquely colored hair flew out in the strong winds created by the amusement park, I miss the way his unfathomable green eyes glinted in the afternoon sun, I even miss his stupid riddles, the way he says my name. I can still hear it in my dreams.

Touko...

So why do I always end up at the Ferris Wheel every time I visit this part of the region, knowing he won't come back for me the way I've dreamed about?

I hate this stupid Ferris Wheel.

I find myself sitting at the front steps in the early morning sun, Reshiram out of its Pokéball and standing beside me. My ponytail drifts lazily in the breeze, and I'm grateful for the cap that I was given my my mother two and a half years ago today. My brown leather jacket shields me from the wind, and I'm still wearing my signature white tank top and my combat boots. I'm the current Champion, alongside Alder. He finally settled down enough to where he can stay in one place without feeling like he will go insane. I smile at that.

I love him. I truly love him, I think.

Reshiram lifts its beautiful white head and looks me directly in the eyes. Its ice blue eyes seem to drill into my soul.

"You do know the old saying about love, correct?" it asks.

I nod. "Yes. And it makes me want to sob whenever I think about it."

Reshiram snorts in amusement. "There is truth in everything. Things we lose always have a way of coming back to us when we need them most. You almost lost your will to fight when you faced the power of the Elite Four for the first time, yet your regained your courage when you stood in front of N and Ghetesis, did you not?"

I nod hesitantly. "Your point?"

"You believe that you lost N. He will come back," it replies briefly. I get the feeling that the case is closed, so I just sit and wait while fidgeting with my Xtransceiver.

I release Serperior from her Pokéball and she curls around me. "Morning," she announces sleepily. Communicating with Reshiram opened my heart to the truth that all Pokémon speak, so I can understand them now. It's quite something, and I remember nearly fainting when I understood my Unfeazant for the first time.

"Moping about N again?" she asks. I push her playfully and she snickers. My Serperior, nicknamed Ivy, knows me way too well. "Face it, Reshi here is right. He'll come back when he's ready to. Give him more time."

Reshiram shoots a glare at Ivy. "I intensely dislike that nickname." Ivy groans. "Whatever, Reshi."

I laugh, something I haven't done in a very long time. Once I start, I can't stop, and soon I'm giggling uncontrollably, and Ivy and Reshiram are smiling. I know it makes them happy to see me happy.

"I've missed that laugh, Touko," I hear a voice say. It couldn't be...

I turn around, and a familiar face framed by tea green bangs under a black and white cap with a Rubik's Cube attached through a belt loop faces me.

"N!" I shriek, and I jump up into his arms. He laughs as he spins me around in a circle, and for once, I cry tears of happiness instead of despair.

He sets me down and he wipes a tear from my cheek. "I thought you were happy?" he says.

"I am," I reply. I point to the tracks left down my cheek. "These are from happiness." He seems to have grown at least three inches while he was away. His Zekrom lands next to Reshiram, and the two are exchanging a non-verbal conversation.

I rest my head on his shoulder, and he wraps me in a hug. I sigh, and he rubs that tiny spot on my shoulder that is always tense. We pull away, and we hold hands as we walk back to the ferris wheel.

"Want to ride?" he asks. I nod eagerly, and he leads me inside. Ivy, Reshiram, and Zekrom wait for us outside. We enter the car and as it rises, we move in closer to each other.

"Touko, do you want to know something?" he says. I nod.

"I left because I thought I needed to look for a part of me that was missing. After I left Plasma, I thought that I would find it in another region. I went and explored Hoenn for a little bit, but I made it to a very deserted yet beautiful part of Kanto and met Misty, a Gym Leader. She said that she always went there to think, and I looked like I needed to get something off my mind. I explained why I left, and she just looked at me."

"And?" I respond.

"I figured out that the part of me that was missing was you," he replies. And he leans in and presses his lips to mine, and I can feel the sparks fly between us as the wheel lifts ever higher into the air.

I've always loved this Ferris Wheel.
