Oh, chapter 2. (or chapter 1.5 if you want specifics). Chapter 2 was always N.'s chapter but now that I've split the first chappie… well, let's just say N. gets some more back story.

I awoke early in the morning. I turned my head left and saw a beautiful sunrise. I peered down, through the branches of the tree I was sleeping in to see people walking in the park. I pitied them, most not knowing what it felt to sleep outside. They had no sense of how some people lived; the only had their houses and cars.

I wasn't really interested in these people though. My eyes scanned the park searching for a person of interest. My eyes landed on a blond standing close to the swing set. I slide down the trunk of the tree. I probably suffered a splinter but I ignored it and dived into the underbrush.

Stealth was my friend and green hair is great for hiding in the grass. I slowly made my way closer to where the blonde was. I didn't take my eyes off of him; I didn't want him getting away. I was very close to him now and I decided to make my debut.

I walked up from him behind, which luckily put me in-between him and the path. He would run away from it if he tried to get away. "Hello." I greeted, catching the blonde's attention.

"Hello…" The blonde said hesitantly.

"Would you like to play a game?" I asked, smiling.

The blonde took a few steps back before muttering a reply. "I'd rather not."

"But you'll enjoy it." I replied.

The boy stared at me for a bit, blinking occasionally, before taking off running. I followed after him, walking until I was sure I wouldn't be seen and then running. The blonde was running from the path but I didn't want to lose sight of him.

The blonde kept running until we reached a more secluded part of the park. The blonde needed to stop and suffering a fall made him. I slowly walked up to him, standing over his quivering body.

"What do you want?" The blonde asked.

"Nothing much," I told him sitting down beside him. "Just you." I was just about to place my hand on the blonde when I heard footsteps.

I leaned down to the blonde. "I'll be back for you, so don't go anywhere." Then I went to investigate. I climbed up a tree, and glanced down onto the path. I noticed a head of brown hair in a pattern that matched my Toy-Touya's.

I climbed down the tree to make check if it was him and made a bit of noise in the process. The brunette glanced up at the tree to figure out what was making the sounds and I took that chance to walk in front of him so I would be the first thing he saw when he brought his head back down.

The boy lowered his head and my bluish-green eyes met pure brown ones, and I knew I had found Black. I must have startled Black because he flipped himself over the bench. I stared as he lay awkwardly at him with his legs over the bench and the rest of his body hanging over the back. He let his legs fall over the back.

I poked my head under the bench to get a better view of his face. I was very close to him now and I was sure it was him. "Hey Black." I said, using Touya's real name.

Black groaned and stood up. I stood up also and then Black noticed how close we were and he backed up. I gave Black my biggest smile and waved at him. "Well hey N. been touching any kids lately?" He asked scratching his the back of his neck.

I almost wanted to glare at him for that comment. What makes him think that I would do something as lowly as touch children? I touch pre-adolescents. "Black, do you know what the chances I'd meet you here are?" I asked, trying to ignore his offensive question.

"It's almost like you knew I'd be here." He said and I gave him a smirk. I pointed to the tree behind the bench.

"I always sit up in that tree in the afternoon." I said turning around to marvel at the beautiful piece of work that I called home. "It is kind of strange actually… that I'd find you here. I had a previous playmate you know, and I left him to come talk to you. I wonder if he is still there… waiting for me to come back… I think he is really looking forward to what I have planned… it seems that he wants it, even though he's showing it in a very weird way… he wasn't running as fast as he normally does… I think he does want it. What do you think Black?"

I turned around to get a response and noticed Black had taken off running. I had just broken my first rule; never let your subject get out of your line of sight. I ran after Black because I wasn't in the mood to go scanning for a 'yellow pages' just to go scanning for his name and number to go scanning for his house. There was no way I was doing that again.

Black ran down a dead end, which was lucky for me; I'm not really a runner. Black kept going until he reached the end, like the wall would disintegrate at his touch. I approached Black and he edged his way into a corner that was blocked from the street by a dumpster. Toy-Touya must be in the same mind frame as that blonde.

I trapped Black in the corner, and he glared at me. I glared back for a lack of things to do.

"Black, stop glaring." I ordered and much to my surprise he stopped.

"Um, N. can you let me out."

I shook my head. "Do you know how long I've been looking for you?" I asked and Black simply shrugged. "A very long time." Black began to bit his lip, making it bleed and that made me upset. "Stop that. If anyone is going to hurt you it's going to be me." Black rolled my eyes.

I paused for a moment. Black seems very happy to see me; maybe he could even help me with my 'problem.' "I need your help…" I started.

"And you have me against a wall because?" I let him off of the wall and he let out a sigh of relief. "What do you need help with?"

"Black… I need a place to stay, and I was thinking…" Black gave me as skeptically glance. "Or I could go back to what I was doing earlier…"

"Ok. Fine you can stay."

Black walked out of the alley and I followed closely, watching him closely. He started to walk home and I followed. I knew where he lived, from scouting the island but I don't think he needs to know that.

On the way home, I heard someone calling for me in the bushes. I glanced at Black, who kept walking, totally unaware of my stopping. He wouldn't notice if I disappeared for a bit…

"I walked over to the bush and was greeted by a group of Minuns.

"What do you need?" I ask the Minuns.

"Well," One started. "Our friend here wants to know about human mating rituals…"

"Oh, that's easy." I said sitting down and getting comfortable.

…That's not what happened!...

Even though I got detoured I beat Black home. He must be a really slow walker.

"Hey, There's Black." Reuniclus said, cheerfully. Black was walking up the street and when he oticed me on the porch he started to glare.

"Black, who's Minun?" I asked.

"I… don't… know. He just pops up every now and then. Well, anyway hey, Minus how's it been?"

"It's been good. Keeping people in check while practicing my moves…" Minus started.

"Let me guess you came here for accuracy training."

"Yeah, Thunder just has been missing too much… it missed twice in the last two weeks!" Minus exclaimed.

"How's your ratio been?" I asked. I didn't like getting involved into the demographics of pokemon battling but if Black did this 'accuracy training' thing I guess it couldn't hurt to learn about it.

"28/30 hits, this is the lowest it's been in years!"

"28/30 that's pretty good, considering thunders accuracy." I interjected. Minus and Black shot a glare at me.

"Ugh, just forget about it. Minus is here because I asked him to help with our battle subway excursion." Reuniclus stated blandly.

"What battle subway excursion?" Black asked confused.

"You said you'd take me to the battle subway next month."

"Which train?"

"Double battle."

"Argh!" Black yelled in exasperation.

"What's the big deal it's just two Pokémon, right? You've got two here." I stated. It upset me a bit that Black still like to battle pokemon.

"No N. you need four to get on the double train, and I've got two!" Black said as he gripped at his hair. \

"Well, you could get a… What's it called the dark and ground…"

"Hate em'."

"You hate them? They could cover your weaknesses." Black his head at my statement. "Volcarona?" A shake. "Scrafty?"

"Yes N. that's it and I saw one in the park! Let's go."

[Five minute run to the park]

"Black what are we doing?"

"Shhh, N. and what do you mean 'we'? I'm doing surveillance, and Reuniclus is looking out for Minus who has the pokeballs."

"You, don't have any?"

"Nope, he got me as a gift and he could never get enough money to buy any or recovery items for that matter… why did you think I know recover?" I nodded his understandment.

"I'm back." Minus sang out in a sing song voice.

"I said military voices!" Black whisper yelled.

"Um, reporting in sir. Current mission completed sir. Awaiting new orders… What…what are you doing?"

"Surveillance. Ok, I think he's going to go to sleep…"

"Black, that's bad sport. You can't catch a sleeping Pokémon…"

"Contrary to popular belief you can, Major Minus." Black said in a matter of fact tone.

"I didn't say… that… that was N. Wait… are you insulting me…?"

"Shhh! I was talking to N."

"…But you said Minus…"

"Like loser? Get it? Argh! I work with idiots."

"So… you think I'm a loser?"

"No."

"Good, because if you don't want me to fry to that better stay your answer."

"Black, you think I'm a loser?"

"You lost to me how many times?"

"Four maybe five times?"

"That's right Reuniclus."

"Ok, let's move out!" Another whisper yell.

We all jumped out the bushes and snuck up on the sleeping Scrafty. Black lifted up the poke ball. I grabbed his hand.

"What are you doing, crazy!" Whisper yell. The Scrafty stirred.

"Don't throw it, those things are hard"… Black stared at me skeptically.

Black pressed the button on the poke ball and caught the Scrafty.

"N. you can let go now." I ignored him and held his hand all the way home.

Well… it's that time again, ay? Author comments… Well, I can see N. being a tactical planner or something of that nature and chasing down "pre-adolescents" because they aren't "children". I feel bad for Blonde-boy Barry in this one, but Toy-Touya(That's how I used to pronounce Touya!) came to save the day.
