SO~ sorry about no updates for an entire month! I just started high school last month, so I wanted to adjust before writing more. (Plus, I was pounded with homework... And I wanted romance ideas.)
Letter I is going to be another couple-parter. Only because there's about 30 words, and this almost reached up to 4,000 words and 12 pages. So, this is going to be broken up, just like the G collection.
Special thanks to Skye Wolf for Iridescence!
Madame Rodoshe for Irene/Insane, Inside, Illness and Ice-cream!
and maxiumride123 for Ice-cream as well!
Enjoy! And sorry for the late update!
I:Iridescence (Skye Wolf)
Chargestone Cave; a place where a lot of electricity is sprung about.
"Come on N! Catch up!" Touko teased as she ran inside the dark, gloomy cave. N slowly trailed behind, suddenly remembering his fear of dark places; it reminded him the times his father would put him in 'time-out'. Although he met Touko there before, he was near the entrance, being the pansy he was.
"I…I'm coming!" He called out, wanting to accompany his girlfriend into the hell of the place. But then again, he didn't want to go anywhere near there. He slowly stepped inside, looking about for his brunette girlfriend.
"Look N! Don't you remember this cutie?" She dashed over, holding a Joltik in her hands. The tiny yellow Pokémon shivered in its old trainer's arms, which was a habit for it back in the day.
"No…?" N raised a brow, looking closer at the Pokémon. Touko sighed, giving a huge pout. She knew he was going to get the answer from her old Pokémon in no time. Finally, "Oh, this is LectroSpider? Your old Joltik that you released because it wanted to protect its family?"
"Yeah!" Touko smiled. "He looks well." She smiled happily, petting her old friend. Joltik, also known as LectroSpider, cooed at the human's hand gleefully.
"I still can hardly believe that a few members of Team Plasma threatened to harm its family…" N sighed, petting the Pokémon as well. Touko nodded, sighing. LectroSpider jumped out of Touko's arms. It lifted up one leg, beckoning them to follow it. "He said that he wants to show us something in gratitude for help protecting his family."
"Let's go!" Touko yelled, dashing after the small insect Pokémon. N sighed, groaning as he walked deeper into the cave slowly. Every step he took, a shot of electricity sprung out in front of him, causing him to jump.
. . .
Joltik quickly ran off to a secret part of the cave, which no humans knew about. Touko followed right behind it, wondering what it wanted to show them. Her eyes darted to the walls of the small cavern, seeing colorful jewels plastered onto the wall. Touko's eyes were glued to the wall until LectroSpider scratched her leg slightly.
N followed right behind, placing a hand on Touko's bare shoulder. He stared in awe to the wonderful unknown place that the small yellow insect showed them. Right before both of their eyes, they saw a humongous gem attached to one side of the walls. LectroSpider chittered gleefully, as it continued to scratch Touko's leg, eventually leaving little specks of blood.
"He's saying that since you've helped him and his family, he will give you a part of this gem. He also says that the gem can enhance any power when worn by a Pokémon. Not only that, but it looks extremely pretty." N explained, chucking at the little joke the spider made.
"Really? Thank you LectroSpider…" Touko cooed, petting the bug gently. LectroSpider nodded its head up and down before zapping a spot on the ginormous rock. A small piece of the stone gradually fell off. LectroSpider trotted over with the piece of stone on its back. Touko picked up the gem and stared at it adoringly. "Thank you LectroSpider, I'll treasure it forever." Suddenly, a whole harem of Joltiks appeared out of nowhere. Both N and Touko gasped at the possibility of hundreds of families of Joltiks right around them.
"This is my family; he said." N translated, still aweing over the fact that Joltiks reproduced this much. Touko didn't even comply with an answer; for she was too busy gawking over the number of Joltiks, like N. Instead, she knelt down and patted LectroSpider's back.
"Looks like you have a huge family." Touko giggled, tears forming at the ends of her eyes. LectroSpider looked away, blushing slightly. "Take care of them and yourself, okay?" LectroSpider answered by nodding slightly, crawling into her lap and kissing her on the cheek before running off to his family. Right before he left, he cheered gleefully, and with a lot of love in its voice. Almost at the same time, both parties left.
"Glad we saw him fine." N smiled.
"Yeah…" Touko hummed, still holding onto the gem, adoring its iridescence.
"He sure has a large family." N chuckled lowly, in a seductive voice.
Having no effect from her boyfriend using a seductive voice, "Yep." N thought for a while before speaking.
"Let's have a large family like that." He chuckled.
"Yeah- Wait, what? WHAT?" She yelled, snapping out from gawking any further with the jewel. N laughed; obviously satisfied with the reaction he received from his girlfriend.
I: Irene/Insane (Madame Rodoshe)
So, explain to me why again you felt it was right to steal my diary?" Irene looked at her friend's angrily, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well…" Touko and N laughed sheepishly. Zoroark, who was sitting faithfully by N's side, grunted silently; imitating Irene's action all the same time.
. . .
Flashback time:
Zoroark slipped carefully in Irene's room, trying not to make a single sound. He was looking for a book; a special book that human's call a 'diary'. His master, N, told him to retrieve it. Saying something that "that she wasn't feeling herself", or something. Zoroark didn't care for the reason why, he just wanted to get the treat N promised him afterward he got that diary.
But there was something that he had to look out for…
Right in that room, both Irene and her own Zoroark were resting. He certainly had to be extremely while taking the book without being caught by the two.
Tip-toeing quietly, he started his search for the pink book he was told to get. The book was placed right on top of the counter-like thing right behind Irene's bed. Zoroark walked over and picked up the book. In bright gold letters, 'DIARY', was written; under it was 'Do not read!'. Zoroark fully understood the English language, since N showed him so many picture books when he was a young pup; so it's almost as if he knew it by the back of his paw.
Right as he grabbed it carefully, his long mane lightly touched Irene's nose. She inhaled sharply before sneezing loudly. Quickly and hastily, Zoroark threw the covers over Irene and transformed into her. The other Zoroark in her room snapped its eyes quickly, glancing at the fake Irene.
The fake Irene smiled and patted its head. It wanted to bark and growl happily, but the fake Irene shushed it. The other Zoroark fell quickly asleep as the fake Irene transformed back into its true form. Right as he closed the door, he quickly dashed out of the house.
Zoroark met up with N and Touko outside.
"Did you manage to get it?" N asked his partner, patting his head.
"Yes, I did." Zoroark answered N. Touko looked at them confusingly as they had their own little conversation.
"Good boy…" N cooed as he rubbed behind Zoroark's ears lovingly, his sweet-spot. N lightly took the pink book away from Zoroark's grasp. He passed it over to Touko, who opened it skillfully. N continued petting Zoroark, giving him the treat he so rightly deserved; a squeaky ball and a box of his favorite Pokémon food, Poké-é-o's. In a flash Zoroark ripped the top of the box quickly and began munching his favorite treat.
"It says here that her birthday is… Friday?" Touko gasped. (A/N: Friday~ Friday~ Gotta get down on Friday~)
"That's only in a few days…" N muttered, scratching his chin.
"Well, we better start planning!" Touko grinned, her shoulder grabbed forcefully by a hand. "Huh-?"
Both N's and Touko's heart skipped almost a few beats, since both Irene and her Zoroark were standing right behind them. Zoroark didn't even care, he was too busy eating to his heart's content.
. . .
"Well…?" Irene stamped her foot.
"No reason!" N and Touko took off, running in the forest.
"What was that about?" Irene sighed, seeing that the page they were on. She had a little bit of hope that they were going to celebrate her birthday, but the other half of her became a pessimist.
. . .
"Hey, are we all ready?"
"Yeah!"
"Yo! You have your foot up my butt, bro!"
"... Touya…"
"Yes, Cheren?"
"That's not my foot." (A/N: Cheren was just joking!)
"DUDE, GROSS!"
"Shh! She's coming!"
The door swerved and clicked open. As soon as someone stepped through the doorway, everyone screamed "SURPRISE!" There stood Irene awestruck as she gazed upon all her friends and the colorful balloons everything.
"You… You all planned this?" Irene gasped.
"That's why we took your diary… We had to see what's wrong with you." Touko sighed.
"So, as make-up for missing your birthday… You get a Pokémon ring from me!" Bianca smiled, handing her a box.
"Glasses from me." Cheren smirked, trying to be funny. Irene rolled her eyes, accepting the gift nevertheless.
"A kiss from me." Touya grinned, laying a peck on her cheek. Irene gasped and blushed to a scarlet red color. Everyone else 'aw'ed at Touya's gift.
"And this is from all. You may want to send it out outside." N handed her a Poké ball. Irene nodded and stepped outside; releasing whatever was the contents of a ball. What appeared out of the ball was a beautiful Milotic.
"W-What! This is my favorite Pokémon! Thank you so much!" Irene ran over to N and Touko, hugging them tightly.
"It took us almost two days to find it. I had to trade away my Magikarp though…" Touko sighed.
"You traded to get me a Milotic?" Irene gasped.
"It was quite worth it though. Plus, it's also a gift from May as well; sending her wishes from Hoenn." Touko explained.
"Thanks you guys…" Irene sniffled slightly, feeling happiness and joy overfill her.
I: Inside (Madame Rodoshe)
"Touko…?" N asked on the phone, sighing slightly.
"Yes N?" Touko grunted. In the background, N heard an Aw Crap, I lost!
"Are you battling another trainer?" N asked, going off from what he wanted to say before.
"Yes. Is that all you had to say?" Touko asked, she pulled her phone away from her face and yelled, "That was a great battle! Try again, and you might be able to beat me!"
"No, actually!" N gulped. "Um… I wanted to tell you that I love you." He stammered, blushing fiercely.
Giggling just a bit, "I love you too, N."
"When are you able to take off? So… We can have a date sometime…?" N fumbled with his words. Truly, he was still inexperienced with love; despite the fact that him and Touko have been dating for a long time now.
"Um… About that N…" Touko sighed.
What…? N thought, having a sense of fear overwhelm him. Did she want to break up?
"I don't think I can get any time off for a while." Touko sighed. "So, I don't think we can go on a date soon. But listen, the first day I get off, I'll come to you."
"Okay…" N pouted like a girl. Ever since Touko became Champion of Unova, she has to face challenges almost every day. Any normal guy, who hasn't been able to see his girlfriend, would just break it off then and there. But N isn't like any normal guy; he truly loves Touko and cherishes her with every bit of his heart.
"Listen, another challenger is coming in. I have to call you back before Marshal yells at me. Okay? Love you, bye!" Touko rushed through her sentence, and hanging up on him quickly. N took a large sigh and closed his phone. He slumped backward on the head of his bed. He sniffled a few times, letting a tear roll down his masculine face.
"If only we can be together forever at all times…" N sighed. "I want to be with her all times…" N repeated, feeling an odd feeling in chest. In a second, he vanished in thin air. When he came to, he was surrounded by eternal darkness.
Is this is a dream? I don't remember falling asleep… N thought, looking at his surroundings.
"N?" Touko's voice appeared out of nowhere.
Touko! N yelled out.
"N, where are you?" Touko asked.
I… I don't know! He gasped.
"I think… you're inside of me, N." Touko gasped as well.
And that was the truth. No matter how much N thought it wouldn't come true, the wish did. He was now inside Touko, and possibly in there forever.
Touko… Where are you now? N asked, thinking for a moment.
"Me? I'm flying home. All of a sudden, I got a huge headache, so I flew home." Touko explained everything that happened the last five minutes. Suddenly, Touko's body reacted differently than before. She stood up on Zekrom's back, arms spread out. "Wha-WHAT?" She yelled.
Well, it looks like I can control your body… N smirked, liking this power he had.
"N! Stop! This is scaring me!" Touko whined. Realizing what he did, he gently sat Touko down before she seriously hurt herself.
Sorry… N apologized.
"It's fine… Just don't do that ever again." Touko growled, her whole body shaking from the rush of adrenaline. N nodded silently, feeling foolish for doing that. He just wanted to try something out. He got what he wanted, but scared Touko in the process. "So, how long do you think this is going to last? A night? A couple nights?"
Huh…? N looked upward with such a sad look on his face.
"Well, we certainly can't stay like this forever." Touko sighed. "What happens if this has a heavy downfall on my body? I have to be fit at all times, or else I can't be Champion, and Alder would take my place."
She's thinking about work again… N thought, forgetting the fact that Touko can practically read his mind now.
"What was that?" Touko asked, almost a bit insulted.
You work all the time… But you never see me I sometimes wish that you weren't the Unova Champion. N kept thinking, his emotions overflowing his thoughts. This is when N realized that what he was saying hurt Touko as well. W-Wait! I… I didn't mean that!
"You rather have me not being the Champion?" Touko asked, a little bit darkly.
Touko! That's not what-
"Fine. I won't be the Champion anymore for your sake." Touko hissed, tears slipping out of her face. At the same time, the same pain and emotions that Touko had rang through N as well.
Touko, what are-
Before he could finish her sentence, she hopped off Zekrom's back. Everything seemed to go in slow motion at that moment.
Touko! NO! N yelled, screeching Touko's ears. At the height that they were at, if Touko landed on the ground, she could break both of her legs at this rate! What in the name of Arceus was she thinking?
In a flash, N disappeared from that dark place and saw a brighter light. He was outside of Touko's body. When he saw Touko's body almost about an inch away from his, he shot out his arm immediately and grabbed her wrist with all of his strength. She winced in pain just a bit, N noticed this, but didn't loosen his grip on her.
"You fool! What were you thinking?" He yelled, not having enough strength yet to pull back onto Zekrom's back.
"What?" Touko asked, as if what she did was normal.
"Are you trying to kill yourself or something? Why did you jump!" He yelled, not able to contain his anger. "Did you wanted to hurt yourself so that you wouldn't be the Champion? Touko! That's an idiotic, foolish, imprudent -"He ranted, stopped by Touko.
"I didn't jump off! I fell off!" Touko argued back.
"What…?" N gasped.
"Zekrom almost hit a Pidove, so he jerked out of the way. I lost balance and fell off!" Touko explained.
"Then… why did you say 'I won't be the Champion anymore for your sake'?" N roared.
"Because I was being sarcastic." Touko raised a brow. Wow, he certainly made himself feel like a fool now.
"You scared the living Trubbish out of me…" N sighed in relief.
"I'm sorry…" Touko looked down. But right as she said that, N's body became transparent, letting go of Touko. Both of their eyes widened as Touko started moving slowly downward from N's sight.
"Touko!" N yelled out, commanding Zekrom to swoop down and carry her. Touko shivered violently in his arms, scared of what just happened. "I don't think you shouldn't fly for a while…"
"Okay…" Touko sighed. "And I'll take a few days off." She smiled.
"Huh?" N looked at her with widened eyes.
"You know, from being Champion. Alder can just take my place for a while, as long as he doesn't lose." Touko giggled.
"Okay…" N smiled, with a lot of love on his face. N can share all of his love with Touko inside and out.
(A/N: Just to clarify, the whole "N's body went transparent" idea isn't something that happens all the time. I was getting an idea for that happening not only for drama, but because it's the first time he gotten out of Touko's body. And again, Madame Rodoshe, I had to change a few things. I'm sorry!)
I: Illness (Madame Rodoshe)
Irene groaned, coughing slight as she laid in her bedroom. Irene caught a terrible cold, and was forced to stay in bed all day.
"Irene, I'm going to lock up the house and leave with aunty, okay? Don't let anyone in; especially your friends. They make such a terrible mess when they're around." Theresa, one of Irene's friends, commanded. (A/N: I assume it's a friend.)
"Okay…" Irene coughed in a quiet voice, her sore throat overpowering her.
"I'll see you when I come home, okay? There's soup in the fridge." The woman remarked as she walked out of the door. Irene was in total bliss and silence for at least an hour.
But, that was only for an hour. Her silence and slumber barged into her house and ran up her room.
"Are you okay, Irene?" Bianca yelled.
"We heard you were sick." Cheren remarked in cool voice.
"I got you some ice-cream!" Touya smiled. Irene rolled her eyes.
"I didn't get my tonsils removed…I'm just-"Irene started, her voice getting hoarse.
"Irene! My mom gave me some cold medicine for you!" Touko ran in with N, holding a dark brown bottle in her hands.
"I have some downstairs though…" She whispered.
"I'll go start the soup." N remarked bluntly, heading downstairs.
"But N! I have that too…!" Irene groaned, her throat causing her pain.
"Since there's nothing we can do, can we play Mario Kart©?" Touya asked loudly with a huge grin on his face.
"Fine…" Irene sighed.
"Cool! Let's go Cheren! And after a round or two, let's battle!" Touya smirked, already heading downstairs.
"You're on!" Cheren ran after him. Suddenly, a crash came from downstairs.
"I'll…I'll go help N while cooking." Bianca muttered sheepishly, walking downstairs as well.
"Is there anything you need?" Touko asked in a hush voice. Irene shook her head in response, her body and head aching all over. "Okay, I'll stay and keep you company, then." Touko smiled.
Just as Irene was ready to doze off and get ready for a nap, "Hey Irene! There's another bowl of soup in here! What should I do with it?"
"WOAH! It's spicy as anything!"
"MAN! YOU CHEATED!"
"Did not!"
"Did so!"
"Tell me, how on EARTH can you cheat at a Mario Kart© game?"
"HAX. YOU USED A ROM OR EMUATOR."
"Shut up! Irene's trying to sleep!"
"It's so noisy…" Irene muttered, throwing a pillow on her head. Touko nodded sheepishly. Touko didn't even know that some of her Pokémon escaped from their Poké balls and ran downstairs to raid the candy cabinet.
. . .
"Here you go Irene!" N smiled as he set down a warm bowl of…. Inedible soup. Irene, who had a headache all day, thought she had nothing better to lose if she gotten more sick due to the food. Touko smiled while trying to feed Irene, who just spit everything back up.
. . .
A week later…
"You're sick, Theresa! Your fever is up to 102!" Irene gasped. She has gotten over her illness at least a few days ago.
"Mm…" Theresa sighed as she pulled the covers over her nose.
"Theresa… I don't know if anyone could take care of you… I'm going out today, and mom and grandma are both out…" Irene muttered.
"That's fine I-"She sick girl coughed.
"THERESA!" Everyone barged in the door.
"Not again…" Irene slapped her forehead. But yet she seemed to snicker when she saw a bowl of soup already ready in N's hands.
I: Ice-cream (Madame Rodoshe, maximumride123)
"Hey, you guys…" N started, looking at his friend and girlfriend.
"Yes?" They both answered.
"Can I have a lick of your ice-creams?" The tall, older man licked his lips slightly. He just wanted to experiment of having a lick of chocolate and vanilla together. All he ever had before was that Vanillish ice-cream he had at the festival with Touko; but that was a long time ago. Since Irene had chocolate, and Touko had vanilla, it would be the most perfect opportunity to try it out.
"Sure N go ahead-"Touko started.
"Absolutely not." Irene said rather bluntly.
"Huh? Why not?" N whined like a ten-year old child.
"Yeah; why not, Irene?" Touko asked skeptically, raising a brow at her.
"It's indirect kissing, Touko. All guys long for that kind of kiss." Irene whispered. Touko gasped as she blushed. "Here N, here's money so you can go and buy your own ice-cream."
"Okay!" The green haired man cheered, happily trotting over to the ice cream stall.
"So… Do men really look out for that stuff, Irene?" Touko asked.
Knowing well enough to tease her, "Of course!" Touko, being gullible, believed it fully. N walked over, slumping as he walked. Touko wanted to punch N's arm for what Irene said before, but restrained.
"What's wrong, N?" Irene raised a brow.
"They said they're all sold out…" He mumbled. "That they're saving it for the festival."
"Festival?" Touko's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, it's tonight, I believe." N looked up to meet with his girlfriend's cerulean blue eyes.
"I know what we're doing tonight~." Irene sang out as she started to walk away from the couple.
"We're going?" Touko smiled.
"Well, if we don't, N would whine about not getting his ice-cream, wouldn't he?" Irene smirked.
"Hey! I would not!"
Phew! Done with part 1! I may not be able to update for a while as well, since I'm trying to set myself a goal that I will be updating all of my stories in under 10 days... (Sadly, this is my first thing I'm working on...And I'm on day 2 already...)
For those who don't know who Irene or Theresa, they're characters from Madame Rodoshe.
Thanks again to Skye Wolf, Madame Rodoshe, and maxiumride123 for their word suggestions! Sorry for not adding the other words! I didn't want to make it too long for one chapter!
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for part two of the letter I collection!
