I walked through Pinwheel Forest, looking down at my feet solemnly. I had searched for White everywhere, and still couldn't find her. It was about time that I abandoned all hope of finding her…My only hope now was that she would uncover the message I hid for her in the Rubik's cube. Then, maybe, she would come looking for me. Of course, that I could never guarantee. My father would be after us both, and mostly White. She was the girl who had ruined Team Plasma, but to me, the Hero of Unova.

I stopped and sighed, looking up and shoving my hands in my pockets. It really was a beautiful day, but I could tell from the humidity that it would rain soon. I smiled slightly. I loved the rain…It was just as good as sunlight in my opinion. However, it is only natural for me to love both sunlight and rain after my many years spent in that room without any nature whatsoever. Once I was allowed outside to finally enjoy the outdoors, I had to look after sick and injured Pokémon. As the prince, I had always found it unfair that I never got the chance to enjoy my life.

However, now the reason for my torture was obvious. My father only wanted me around the sick Pokémon because he felt that it would influence me, which it did. I spent all of those years trying to fight against trainers, when really my own father was the wrong one. White had helped me realize that. Neither my father nor I had ever thought it possible for me to hate, but after what he had done to myself and White, I despised him. I despised him and what he had done to White and myself. Because of him, I would never be able to have a normal relationship with her, and it killed me inside.

If White did choose to return to me, we would never be able to be normal people. Not only does she possess one of the two Legendary Dragons, she is the hero of Unova. If anyone ever found out, there would be no end to the amount of people swarming her daily. But at least then she would be safe. Part of me wanted to expose her, to make sure she was surrounded by people should my father ever escape from prison. However, the more selfish part of me had taken over. I needed White in my life, so I would let her make up her own mind. She could either choose me, or she could choose to stay away from me for good.

I sighed, continuing to walk in the forest. As I walked, I continued to weigh the many possibilities of what could happen now. I was so distracted by these thoughts for quite some time. Honestly, I had no idea how long I had been walking before I heard the scream. I looked up immediately, trying to clear the many thoughts that were still running through my mind. The scream had come from directly in front of me. I ran up, and then slowed to a walk. I didn't really want to be seen here…So I simply put my ear up to the trees, listening intently.

""You're so weird. How can you be so scared of a tiny bug like that?" said a boy from the other side of the trees. I suddenly heard a voice from the other side that startled me. I fell back into a bush, yelping as its thorns dug into my skin. However I still had to clasp my hand over my mouth to stop from yelling out her name as loud as I could. I stood up, quickly running over and peering through the hedge. Yes, I was correct. The voice belonged to White.

""You have no idea how creepy bugs are to me…" she said, shivering slightly. I grinned happily. Yes, that was definitely her. She had always been terrified of bugs, hadn't she? I had almost stepped through the brush when I saw the person opposite her. I stared at him, the smile slowly falling off my face. I studied him, looking him up and down. I didn't recognize him at all. Suddenly, he leaned forward and hugged her, and she returned the gesture, looking at him lovingly. I felt my heart drop as I stared at the two. However, nothing in the world could have prepared me for what happened next.

"Lucas, I love you." She said, staring him in the eyes, and then leaning into his chest. I stared at the two, wide eyed.

"Love you too." The boy said. I staggered back, the world going gray. What had just happened? I felt myself standing up, and I was suddenly darting off in the opposite direction. I couldn't even comprehend what was happening. Could she have gotten over me that quickly? Could I be…Too late? I sped through the forest, unsure of where I was going. I felt an uncomfortable emotion surging through my veins. Was this…Anger? No, it was much stronger than anger. I could barely describe it…I felt like I was going insane…Like I wasn't myself any more. I had been replaced…Removed from my body.

No, I wasn't N anymore. I was someone very different. Scary different. Something about me had changed…I had never felt like this before. Something had been taken from me. All along I had known the fact was inevitable. White was just too amazing to not have someone fall in love with her. Yet, now that she was out of my reach, I was even angrier than ever before. I couldn't stand it. There was only one place for me now. I felt myself shaking with rage as I took out my Pokeball, throwing it on the ground. Zekrom came out, looking at me happily, its face suddenly falling when it looked at me. I jumped onto its back, roughly grabbing it on the back.

"Zekrom, take me back to my castle, right now." I said coldly. When Zekrom didn't move, I felt the rage building up inside of me.

"Now!" I yelled. Zekrom bolted up into the air. I still felt the rage building up inside of me, but out of habit, I apologized to Zekrom. It wasn't the Pokémon's fault…That I had finally turned into my father…
