N kissed Touya on the neck gently, so gently. He then went for Touya's jaw. Then a soft kiss on the nose.

"Let's play Pokemon," he whispered, "I'll be Raichu and I just used Sweet Kiss on you."

And with that, N leaned over and planted a firm, possessive kiss on Touya's lips. The younger boy flushed as he felt his body heat up, his heart pumping faster than normal. Touya stood motionless with wide eyes. N didn't seem to notice. He withdrew his head and gave Touya's nose a lick with a flick of his tongue. Touya shuddered.

"C-Can Raichu learn Lick?" he stammered.

N's gaze traveled up toward the ceiling, showing that he was thinking.

"I don't know. But I know that Pansage can. I'll be Pansage. I'll trap you with my Vine Whip-" and then he picked Touya up bridal style, "and throw you up high."

He tossed the younger male onto the bed. Touya yelped as he landed softly. N smiled and jumped onto the bed as well. He laughed like a child as he began bouncing up and down, his face not showing a trace of seriousness.

Touya just stared at him until N ran out of energy. The green haired teen was out of breath by the time he stopped bouncing. He turned to Touya with a big smile on his face.

"Okay. Now I'm Munna and I use Attract. Now you have to kiss me."

The younger boy blushed. N really was handsome but that wasn't the only reason Touya had these unexplained feelings for him. N's extreme love for Pokemon touched Touya's heart. Even though he disagreed with him about Pokemon trainers, he knew that deep down N just wanted to make the world a better place.

And what was wrong with that?

Touya scooted closer to N and kissed him sweetly on the cheek. N laughed softly to himself.

"You're too cute."

Suddenly, N got off the bed. He stretched his arms and let out a yawn.

"Well, I guess it's about time to go to sleep. Will you be okay? You won't stay up all night thinking again, will you? If you want, I can get a Pokemon to help you fall asleep."

Touya shook his head.

"I'll be fine. Goodnight N."

The older boy nodded in understanding, then turned to leave. But before he reached the door, Touya called out for him. N, who was so willing to help Touya with any little thing, responded without hesitation.

"Yes? What is it?"

Touya was frowning, his head bowed down. He bit his bottom lip nervously before gathering the courage to look at N in the eye.

"Can I see my Pokemon tomorrow? Please?"

N's happy smile fell. He gave Touya a disapproving glance.

"They're not yours. You don't own them."

Touya bent his head in shame.

"I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. Can I see my friends? Please?"

N's expression softened. His eyes stared kindly at the distraught ex-trainer. Touya was a gift from Arceus, N decided. All for him. Touya was all for him.

And he loved making Touya happy. Touya was not like other trainers. He loved his Pokemon, even N could see that. Touya always gave his Pokemon credit when they won a battle and never blamed them when they lost. Touya made sure his Pokemon ate well, slept well and didn't push themselves too hard. Touya deserved to see them.

"Alright. You may. I'll come by around two tomorrow and bring you to them. I'm sure they'll be happy to see you."

A heartwarming smile spread through Touya's face and it made N's knees weak just looking at it. He did it. He made Touya happy. He loved making Touya happy.

But admittedly, he was a little jealous of Touya's Pokemon since they also made him happy. In the back of his mind, only he should make Touya happy.

But it was nonsense to be jealous of Pokemon. N shook the thoughts out of his head.

Darumaka punched the metal door for the thousandth time. He grunted when it failed to budge. Serperior raised his nose in disdain, all the while watching the other Pokemon's fruitless efforts.

"You're only going to tire yourself out again. Forget it, they've locked us up tight."

The Fire type glared at Serperior.

"Are you saying we should just give up?"

"I'm saying we should think before we act. Something very hard for you to do, I know."

Darumaka's flames ignited in anger. Simipour got between them. She hated it whenever they fought.

"That's enough you two. Touya is counting on us. N has him trapped somewhere."

"And he might kill him," Darumaka added with dread in his voice.

It was such a strong statement that Simipour took a step back. She held her hands to her chest.

"You don't really think-"

"No. He won't," Serperior interrupted, "Believe me. I've seen the look on N's face. I know how he feels about Touya. He won't kill him."

"What are you talking about?"

Darumaka's question went unanswered. Serperior just closed his eyes and kept his mouth shut.

"As long as he's alive, he'll find a way to help us. If we can just make our escape, we can come back with reinforcements. There's no way N and Team Plasma can handle all the Gym Leaders in Unova and the Elite Four," Unfezant chimed in.

Simipour was grateful that Unfezant hadn't given up hope. Darumaka hadn't either. But Serperior had been acting strange since they got captured. It was almost like he already gave up. Simipour turned her head towards Galvantula and Exadrill. They had both been sitting quietly in the corner, not making a sound. What did they think of the situation?

A yawn escaped Serperior's mouth.

"It's time to go to bed. I will retire for the night. Don't wake me."

Darumaka growled at how laid-back the Grass type was. He had it in mind to burn him up but he controlled his anger just enough not to do that. The last thing they needed was a weakened team member.

What they needed now was a miracle.

Finally updated. So sorry for the wait. Thanks to all who have reviewed so far. It makes me happy. =D
