Songs: Angel With a Shotgun by The Cab and The High Road by Three Days Grace
N's POV
At Undella Bay…
We arrived at the beach in record time. It was a beautifully warm sunny day. Touko and I rented a little beach house. We would be staying there for two days. Today we would go to the beach and tomorrow we would go fishing, then we would pack up and head to the White Forest. "Are you ready yet?" I called to Touko. She was in the bathroom getting changed into her swimsuit. I was in front of the door.
"I don't want to come out" she yelled.
"Why not?"
"Because…my swimsuit doesn't fit" she hesitantly said.
"Yes it does. You just tried it on this morning before we left the house. Now, get out here. We're wasting daylight" I said impatiently. Girls we such a pain, especially teenage girls. If you consider someone who is nineteen a teenager.
"You'll laugh at me" Touko mumbled.
"No I won't. I promise" I whispered to the door. The doorknob slowly turned, and the door creaked open. I took a step back and waited for the door to fully reveal Touko. Touko peered around the door at me. She then opened the door the full way. Her beach towel was covering her body. I raised an eyebrow at her. "Come on" I said while motioning with my hand to move the towel. She looked at the floor and dropped the material. I didn't know what Touko was talking about. She looked beautiful. Her two piece bathing suit was black with diagonal tea green stripes. I blushed and looked away.
"See. I look stupid. Maybe I should just go change, and we can go fishing or something."
"No. No. I was just admiring the color of it. You look really pretty."
"Yeah? I bought this sometime after you left. It reminded me of you" Touko said shyly.
"I think you got the color just right" I chuckled. Touko walked up to me and playfully hit me on the arm. I went into the bathroom next. I put on a pair of dark gray swim trunks. When I came out, Touko had on shorts over her bottoms and a pair of sunglasses on. I grabbed a white t-shirt and put that on. Touko and I gathered up our stuff. She grabbed her bag and put it on her shoulder. It had snacks, sun-screen, and drinks in it. We each carried a towel.
"I think I'm going to swim for a little bit then get a tan" Touko said.
"Race you there" I challenged. I ran out the door.
"Hey! Not fair!" Touko screamed while running after me. I reached the beach and threw my towel on the ground. Not many people were here. Everybody was probably working or at school. I looked back to see Touko, and she ran straight into me. I fell back into the sand with a thud. Touko lay on top of me.
"Owww" I moaned.
"Sorry, I sort of tripped. I can't run in flip-flops. I'm used to boots or sneakers" Touko apologized.
"That's okay." Touko crawled off of me and threw her bag and towel next to mine. I removed my t-shirt, and she removed her shorts and sunglasses. "It means that I can get revenge." I gave her a mischievous smile. Her eyes widened and she tried to get up and run, but she was too slow.
"No! Not again" she laughed out when I scooped her up and ran to the ocean with her. I tossed her into the sea. She surfaced and splashed water at me. I just kept laughing. While I wasn't paying attention, she pulled me under water. We both surfaced and held onto each other laughing.
The next day…
There is a lot that I still have to learn. I will be selfish and say that I am a pretty strong trainer and am good at battling. I think that I'm probably almost to Touko's level. However, I am bad at everything else. I can't catch wings that flutter down to the Driftveil Bridge, and I definitely can't fish to save my life. I can get a fish on the line but not reel it in without it releasing itself. If I want to impress Touko, I'm going to have to practice some more. I've caught nothing. Touko has caught a Shellder, Luvdisc, and two Wailmer. Two freaking Wailmer. She already had all those Pokémon, so she let them go but still.
At Dragonspiral Tower…
The tower was our next stop after going to the White Forest. Touko wanted me and Reshiram to visit the place that we met. It was a nice thought. This place was really old and mysterious. Who wouldn't want to come here?
At Celestial Tower…
I admit that coming to this tower was a mistake, but Touko really wanted for us to both ring the bell at the top and make a wish. "Can't we leave and just fly to the top?" I asked. I wanted to leave the building. It really gave me the creeps. The ghost Pokémon kept appearing out of nowhere and scaring us. I could hear what they were thinking too. They thought it was fun, but they also wanted to be friends with everyone. Their most common thought was to be caught and be part of someone's family. Poor ghosts. It broke my heart by just being here around all these graves.
"No. Last time you came here, you flew to the top and didn't even come inside and see what it looked like. We're climbing to the top even if it takes us all day" Touko hissed.
"Fine" I muttered. Three flights of stairs later, we made it to the top and were standing in front of the large bell. "I'll go first" I said. Touko nodded. I walked up to the bell and rung it. A mellow tone came out of it. I wish that Touko will say that she loves me then we will get married and raise a family together.
Touko's POV
"My turn" I said once N finished ringing the bell. I repeated his actions and rung the bell. I wish that N's wish comes true. I wanted N to be happy and have his wish come true. Last time he came here, his wish didn't come true. I wished that all Pokémon wouldn't be liberated and that Team Plasma would fail. My wish came true, and his didn't. It was the least I could do for ruining his wish last time.
At Castelia City…
Castelia City was our last stop. It has been six days since we left Nuvema Town. I know that our little vacation or trip, whatever this is, wasn't that long, but it wasn't supposed to be. Today was our last day together to have fun by ourselves. Yesterday we went to Relic Castle. I had some RageCandy that I wanted to use on those statues, sleeping Pokémon, in front of the one entrance to the ancient castle. I battled the Pokémon until it got too hot out. "Where to first?" N asked.
"Ummm…I know! There is this little museum that displays some of Burgh's art" I said.
"Sure. We haven't been to a museum yet" N stated. We walked to the museum and bought some Casteliacones before we went in. Inside, the berry guy gave me a berry for showing him a dragon type Pokémon. N got one too. Next, we went to get our Pokémon massaged. They were all pretty happy afterwards. The Royal Unova was our last stop before we would head to the one little café in the one alley.
"I love riding the Royal Unova. You can watch the sunset on it. It is the most beautiful sight ever" I said dreamily. I could watch it all day.
"Then let's go watch it. I know you love to battle the passengers, but why don't we take a break from that and watch it together" N suggested.
"Right" I said. I walked away from the room I was about to enter and went out onto the deck. There was no one there except for two people. One with spikey dark blue hair and the other with brown hair in buns. That hair style was unforgettable. I would recognize it from a mile away. "Mei!" I called out. The girl spun around to face me and N.
"Touko?" Mei said. The person standing next to her turned around as well. He looked at Mei with a confused expression then up at us. Mei didn't notice.
"Yeah. What a coincidence it is seeing you here" I said.
"Yeah" Mei said happily.
"Mei" N acknowledged the girl.
"N, it's so good to see you again" Mei stated. She look at us for a second before gasping.
"What?" I asked curiously.
"You found N!" she shouted. She ran up to me and squealed. We both dance around like idiots. We parted and looked at the two boys.
"So who is this?" I questioned, motioning to the spikey haired boy.
"That's Hugh. He's my best friend" Mei said. She walked up to him and dragged him over towards me and N by the hand. I could tell Hugh was blushing, even though everything had a red hue to it from the sunset already, and his face showed no emotion.
"Nice to meet you" I said while holding out my hand. He grasped it and shook.
"Hello" N said while holding out his hand too. Hugh hesitantly shook it.
"Do I know you?" Hugh asked N.
"Not that I know of" N said.
"Who are you?" Hugh said.
"Uh, N" N muttered.
"No, not who are you by your name. I mean like what were you. I saw you on TV a few years back. I'm talking about occupation" Hugh said clearly with annoyance.
"Ummm…I-I used to be the King of Team Plasma" N said nervously. Hugh jumped back from N like he was poison. Mei rushed to his side.
"Hugh, stop it! N's my friend. You can trust him. What he did in the past is in his past" Mei said calmly.
"I don't care. He hurt my family" Hugh shouted. "He is a monster and I could never be friends with him."
"I-I-I'm sorry if I or my father did something to your family a few years ago. I didn't know what I was really doing. I swear" N said shakily. Tears started to pour from his eyes. He fell to his knees and cried. I kneeled down next to him and wrapped my arms around his body.
"Ssshh, N. It will be okay. You said that you didn't care what people thought about you. What happened to that, huh? You're strong. I know you are. Please stand up. I'm here. Be the man I know you can be when it comes to what people think about you" I whispered. He just sat there and cried. After a few minutes, his crying turned into soft sobs. He looked up at me with red puffy eyes.
"I don't care what people think. I just want them to understand that what I did, I didn't mean to do. They judge me before they let me explain" N sniffled.
"I know" I whispered.
"Hugh!" Mei scolded. "How can you be so heartless? You need to consider people's feelings and maybe learn to control that temper of yours too while you're at it." Mei stuck her nose in the air and walked away.
"Mei? Hold on. I'm sorry. I love you, please wait up" Hugh said. Mei slowed her pace but kept on going. "Look N, I'm sorry. I apologize for my temper. I'll try to think about what you said and decide if you're telling the truth or not. I hope we can try to be friends but only because you seem like a decent guy, and Mei likes you" Hugh said. N let out a weak laugh.
"Does she love you back?" N randomly asked.
"Don't know. She never told me she did but I think she has a thing for me" Hugh smirked.
"You better go after her" N said.
"Yeah" Hugh said before running off in the direction Mei went. By the time we got off the Royal Unova, it was already dark.
"You know I love you too, right?" N asked me.
"Of course" I said. "You say it all the time."
"I would do anything for you. I would stick by your side even if you wouldn't want me to. I would die for you" N said seriously. Mom was right. N would die for me. That is so sweet but so creepy at the same time. We went to the café and ate there for about an hour then left. I almost fell asleep listening to the music. We stood in the alley, trying to decide what to do next. Should we camp or go home?
"Come here, girly" a masculine voice said from the shadows. I backed up against the wall of the building we just left. N stood in front of me. He frantically looked around the alley for the source of the voice.
"No!" I shouted.
"Touko, be quiet" N hissed. I closed my mouth. N scared me by the tone of voice he used.
"You're really pretty. Why don't you come back with us? We could have a really good time" the voice seductively said. Ewww. Wait. What did he mean by us? Just as I thought that, five guys stepped out from the shadows beside the dumpster. How would we defend ourselves? We didn't have our Pokémon. We took them to the Pokémon Center right after we got off of the Royal Unova. Wait, N still had Reshiram with him.
"N, get Reshiram" I whispered.
"Good idea" he said. He reached for his belt, feeling around for the dragon type's pokéball. I watched as his hand bumped the pokéball. It fell to the ground. "Damn it" N mumbled. The pokéball fell to the ground and rolled about three feet away, too far for me to reach. We're screwed.
"Move it, buster" the guy in front of the other four men said to N. He must be the one that was talking earlier. He must be the leader.
"Never! If you want her, then you'll have to get through me" N growled.
"Oooh, are you trying to be a hero, tough guy? Well it will be my pleasure to beat you" the man taunted. N growled louder. The man pulled out a pokéball. The four other guys followed his lead. They all called out their Pokémon. Five Pokémon stood in front of me and N. There was one Bisharp, one Stoutland, two Braviary, and one Emboar. Emboar was up front. They were all strong fully evolved Pokémon.
"Bring it on" N challenged. He jumped in front of all the Pokémon and started speaking to them quickly but quietly. He must be making an attempt to stop them. They all stared at him before making their respective growls and chirps. N nodded them started speaking to them again.
"What are you doing?!" the man screamed. N ignored him and kept talking. "Forget it! Emboar use Fire Pledge on that psycho" the guy commanded. The Pokémon stiffened and did as he was told. The other guys called out their own commands and their Pokémon obeyed as well. They all completely forgot about their conversation with N.
"N!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I stared in horror as all five powerful moves hit their target, N. He screamed in pain. "No!" I yelled. The attacks backed off and the guys looked at me. N lay motionless on the ground.
"Now attack the girl" the leader commanded. All the Pokémon looked at me with sympathy in their eyes, but they still attacked. I was frozen in my spot. I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried. I prepared myself for the pain when N stood up and jumped in front of me. He took the attacks head on again.
N's POV
The pain was too much to bear. My body couldn't handle it. I felt weak and tired. I had to rest. At least Touko wasn't hurt. I would do anything to protect her. I looked down at my body. Blood poured out of the many open cuts I obtained. I closed my eyes and thought back to everything I did over the years. I thought about my rule over Team Plasma and rivalry with Touko. Then I thought about all the bad things I did then good thing I did. Lastly, I remembered all of the time I spent with Touko. Those were my best memories. I took a breath. "Be safe, my love" I forced out.
Touko's POV
"NO!" I screamed again. N collapsed on the ground.
"Run" N said before passing out. 'No!' I thought again.
A/N: I must admit that I have never played Pokémon White 2 yet, so I don't know what cities there are or else I would have made N and Touko go to some of those too. I have it but not played it. I didn't have Mei and Hugh dating because I have no idea what pairing I like in that game. I just sort of made Hugh like Mei, a one-sided shipping. I know about Mei and Hugh though because I read about them on FanFiction and looked them up. I hope you review. This is a very boring chapter at the beginning, but it ends with excitement.
