Chapter 2
(N's POV)
"I- I've done it Father.. I am the Hero of Unova. The Pokemon will be set free." I said. I was almost in disbelief of what had just happened.
I did it. I beat Touko. I had The legendary Zekrom at my side and the Sages behind me. I would begin a new world for the Pokemon.
"And what of that girl?"Ghetsis scoffed. He turned and looked at Touko. He was eying her coldly.
"Touko and I are under agreement. She's coming with us in exchange for the freedom of her Pokemon." I stated.
"Fair enough." He spoke. "But she is to stay in the dungeon until you carry out your duties as King. I don't need you getting..." His words seemed to trail off as he looked down at our hands. "..distracted.. Am I understood?"
I inwardly sighed. Touko was far more than a distraction at this point. But I couldn't let her go. And I couldn't let The Sages and Team Plasma down. I suppose I could learn to balance out both.
"Yes, Father." I replied. I looked over at Touko. She seemed on the verge of tears. I could understand why. She was about to lose everything she once knew. I wanted desperately to comfort her. I wanted to hold her and tell her how much better things would be from here on out. But this was neither the time or place to do such things..
"Alright everyone, head to the Castle. Anthea, Concordia, take that girl to her quarters." Ghetsis commanded. "We leave for Liberty Garden in one hour to set in a new order under Team Plasma's reign."
Touko was shaking as we prepared to move out. Her hair and clothes were becoming drenched from the rain. And she was dressed only in a shirt, vest, and those unbelievable short shorts.. My eyes trailed down her shapely legs..
I quickly cleared my thoughts and grabbed the blanket Anthea offered. I placed it over her shoulders and whispered to her. "Don't cry Touko. I'll take good care of you. I promise." I reassured her.
Though her mind seemed to be elsewhere. "Touko.. I don't know how to make you understand right now, but things have to be this way." I stated as I walked off with the seven sages to begin our plan.
I looked back as Concordia and Anthea led her towards to castle.
Things were going to change from here on out.
Later in Liberty Garden
"People of Unova," I spoke into the microphone proudly. "The time has come for a new era in Unova. An era where Pokemon and humans are to live out their lives separately. Trainers and Pokemon will coexist no longer." Several gasps and whispers were heard among the crowd that had gathered to hear Plasma's words. "Beginning tomorrow morning new laws will be set in order."
"First and foremost, all Pokemon trainers, Breeders, Gym Leaders and otherwise shall be expected to release their Pokemon into the wild by sunrise. And hand over their trainer ID's and badges to any and all Team Plasma authorities. Failure to do so will result in the apprehension of said individual and their Pokemon. Proper punishment will also be given to any of which are found to be accomplices."
"Secondly, the sale, possession and distribution of Pokeballs is strictly prohibited. And all Pokemarts and Pokecenters will be shut down and cleared of merchandise. All said individuals and accomplices will face consequences as stated in rule number 1."
"Lastly, all Pokemon Gyms, Training areas, Contest Halls, and Battle areas are to be closed. All said individuals and accomplices will face consequences as stated in rule number 1."
I read through the rules. Our plans were flawless. The Pokemon would finally be free. As I finished my closing speech, I took several questions from Interviewers and crowd members before I was greeted by Father and the other Sages.
"Good work, boy. By tomorrow, Team Plasma's plans will be set in motion and you will be crowned to King of Unova. This is excellent."
Father placed his hands on my shoulders. "N you have done it." All seven Sages bowed, and I watched as the entire crowd followed suit.
It was really happening.
The Liberation of People and Pokemon. My dreams were coming true.
I even had Touko with me. I almost couldn't believe it.
As I was led off stage and back the Castle, I thought of Touko again. Was she holding out okay? I wanted to see her.
When we reached the halls of the castle, I asked one of the Sages to fetch Concordia and Anthea. I arrived at my bedroom and removed my cape and crown. I grunted as I fell back onto my large bed. I was definitely exhausted. And things would only get more stressful when I assumed my position as King of Unova..
"My lord, you called for us." Spoke Anthea as she entered the room, Concordia at her side.
"Yes, I wanted to know how is Touko doing? You two have been put in charge or caring for her. Is she alright?"
"The girl has not spoken a word upon being brought here. And she has not touched her meals or her spare clothes." Concordia stated flatly.
"I thought that might be the case.. She's been through a lot. I don't see why Fa- Ghetsis insisted on her being put in the dungeon. Her state will only become worse in a place like that. I wish for her to be brought to me. She'll be staying with me from now on."
"But N, my lord," Anthea insisted "Ghetsis will not approve of this."
"I know that, but is Ghetsis going to be crowned King of Unova?" I asked, becoming a bit irritated with my requests being questioned.
"No, My Lord, but-"
"Then it's settled. Bring Touko to me and if Ghetsis or the other Sages have anything to say about that, they will get the same answer. Am I understood?"
" Yes my lord, I apologize." Anthea and Concordia both bowed and left to return with Touko. I knew I was right. I was the King of Team Plasma, and tomorrow I would be King of Unova. I was beginning to realize what that meant..
I would rule over everyone and everything..
My word would be law.. And Touko.. Touko was mine.
I smiled at the thought.
Meanwhile In the Conference Hall
"He WHAT?" Ghetsis fumed as Concordia and Anthea reported N's words to the Sages.
He slammed his fist down onto the table. "That wretched boy thinks he can do whatever the hell he pleases?! Well he has another thing coming. I'll be damned if that boy 'King' gets in the way of my-OUR plans, because he can't control his hormones! That girl is nothing but a distraction. I knew I shouldn't have allowed her to come here!"
"What do you suppose we do, Great Sage?" Concordia asked.
Zinzolin folded his arms and sighed. "That boy will never truly know what it means to be king without becoming corrupted. It's only a matter of time before he finds out just what he can do with his position and things will take a turn for the worst."
"And I'm not so sure that girl will even want to stick around to see him become the inevitable power hungry dictator. Surely she will try and escape." Added Rood.
Ghetsis shook his head "The boy has a wavering heart. While he may be naive, he has always been a bit.. unstable. He gets attached to things easily and has a problem letting them go. And seems quite attached to the girl. He also lacks understanding of human emotions. The girl will resist him, and sooner or later he'll grow tired of playing nice. It seems bringing that girl here could actually work to our advantage.."
"What exactly are you getting at?" Zinzolin questioned
Ghetsis smiled. "You two aren't wrong. A king doesn't enjoy being told 'no'. That trainer will become the trigger for his darkest desires; and once he feeds into them, he won't be able to stop. And that is when he'll fully understand his position. He'll learn how to rule with an iron fist. Team Plasma will be unstoppable."
The Sages began to chatter among each other.
He turned to Concordia and Anthea "For now, we start with The girl. You two fix her up and bring the her to our young king. I think it's time our boy started becoming a man."
N's Room
I was at my desk finishing up some paperwork when I heard my door creak open.
"My lord, we have brought the one you wished to see." Anthea called out.
I was growing quite bored of my work and was glad I would get to spend some time with Touko. My thoughts only seemed to be focused on her lately..
"Great, bring her to me." The door was pushed open and Touko was pulled along by Concordia into my room. My breath hitched in my throat as she entered through the door.
She had been changed out of her dirty clothes from before and was looking like new, dressed in a lavish lilac gown. Her hair was pulled out of her usual ponytail and flowed down her shoulders in soft waves. I cleared my throat. "Thank you, you may take your leave now." The two servants bowed and exited my chambers.
Touko stood staring blankly at me. Things were becoming a bit awkward for the both of us, so I spoke first. "Touko, please sit." I motioned to the spot on the bed next to me.
She lowered her eyes. "N, please. I want to go home." she whispered.
I felt my heart waver a bit at her words. But I finally had things going exactly the way I wanted them to be. And I was excited with Touko being here.
I breathed out a deep breath and shook my head. "No. We had a deal. I spared you and your Pokemon in exchange for you staying here, remember?"
"Y-yes, but-"
"But nothing." I said sternly.
"N, I know you saved me back there and I agreed to come with you, but I really don't think I can stay here. Things are going to get hectic soon and I should be with my family befo-"
"TOUKO!" she flinched as I raised my voice. I was growing tired of everyone talking back to me.
"Listen, Touko I will try to make your stay here as comfortable as possible, but I need you to understand your situation here. I allowed you to choose your fate when you lost the battle. And you chose to let your Pokemon go. You are not leaving. Am I clear?" I asked her sharply.
She gulped and nodded her head. "I understand."
"Now come, and sit." I patted the spot on the bed.
She slowly approached the bed and sat down. Her scent filled my lungs as she drew near, and I felt my heart beat a bit faster.
"Touko look at me." I said softly. She turned to me I looked at her face.
She had a look of sorrow hanging on her features. I was so glad to have her here..
Why couldn't she just feel the same way I did?
"Tell me, is there anything I could do for you to make you even a bit happier while you stay here?" She pondered my question for a moment and her eyes seemed to brighten for a second. "Could I call my mom, and my friends?"
I thought about that. Was she up to something? Did she plan to have them come here to help her escape?
"I don't know, Touko."
"Please, N!" She pleaded, grabbing onto my sleeve and bowing her head. "I just want to let them know I'm okay."
I stared down at her. I couldn't refuse her like this. I wanted her to want to be here.
"Very well. I'll allow you one phone call."
Her eyes lit up again. "Thank you, N! Thank you!" She breathed out squeezing my arm.
"But," I interrupted her. "You make the call from the phone in my room, and you aren't to leave my sight, got it?"
"Uh, Okay." She mumbled. And turned to grab the phone.
"Wait," I added, "Before that.. I.." She cocked her head to the side. "What?"
I caught her gaze and she didn't move. I reached my hand out to her. My fingertips trembled as I ran them down her shoulder. Her skin was soft and smooth.
"N, what are you..?" She questioned. Her eyes growing wide.
"Shh.. Don't move." I whispered as I closed the gap between us. My face only inches from hers.
I reached my other hand up and cupped her cheek. Her cerulean irises glistened as she locked them onto mine.
I stared down at her mouth. I shut my eyes and let out a shaky breath as I pressed my lips to hers.
"Mmph!" She muffled and tried to pull away. But I snaked my other arm around her waist and held her close. I kissed her deeply and felt an ache in my stomach that fell all the way down from my groin into my toes.
I opened my eyes as I was shoved away. Touko stood gaping at me, eyes wide. "What the hell do you think you're doing!?" She snapped at me.
What the hell was I doing? I asked myself. It was a spur of the moment thing, I'm sure. Or was it? I can't say I hadn't thought about her lips more than once. and her skin was softer than I had imagined. I couldn't stop myself.
"Touko, I- I'm sorry.. I didn't think you'd react this way."
She stood with her arms wrapped around her body and a scowl on her face.
"Well what did you think would happen when I got here N? That I'd be your girlfriend? Because that is never going to happen. I didn't even want to come here in the first place. I'm only here because I wanted to save my friends, and now I'm stuck until Arceus knows when!
So for the time being, please do not touch me. Just being here with you is bad enough!"
All I could do was stare. Her words stung like a thorn right in my chest.
I hung my head; My green hair falling over my eyes.
Touko grabbed the phone from my night stand and ran into the bathroom, slamming and locking the door. I heard her dial a number. The phone rang twice before someone picked up, a boy's voice.
"Hello? Touya? It's Touko! It's so great to hear your voice.. you won't believe where I am right now.."
And in that moment I felt something in me begin to snap.
Her words still rolling around in my thoughts. 'just being here with me was bad enough', huh?
I chuckled and sighed to myself.
Touko, you don't know how much worse things could be for you, dear.
A smirk spread across my face as I stood and approached the bathroom door.
But I think it's time you found out.
And that is chapter 2 folks! N is starting his transition into something terrifying ;-;
