Chapter Fourteen

N's POV 3

Yeah, I had to have at least one more chapter from N's POV before the end of the series. I don't want this series to end...:'( But all good things must end...But this is the final countdown! I hope that this will give you a little background on N. That's what I was going for at least. This is the last epic battle, and it was quite fun to write. It's all resolution from here. Anyways, love you guys! xoxo-Star

My entire world seemed to go in slow motion. I saw her falling back through the glass, and I lunged for her. But my hand just barely missed hers. I saw her falling backwards into the lake, landing with a soft splash. I stared at the place she had landed, hoping to see her head come out of the water at any minute. But she didn't. I screamed her name, my voice reverberating through the empty castle. Then, I felt myself jumping off the edge, diving into the same place that she had gone. When I landed, I swam down to the bottom of the lake.

I searched frantically, waving my hands everywhere, trying to find her. After what seemed like days, I felt myself running out of breath. But I wouldn't come up for air. Suddenly, I felt my hand catch on something. I wrapped my hand around it, paddling up to the top of the water. When I broke the surface, I coughed loudly, pulling White above the surface. Not even thinking about the fact that I could use a Pokémon, I just swam over to the shore, pulling White up behind me.

I saw two figures running towards me, but I pushed their presences aside. All I could do was shake her, demanding that she wake up. I felt myself being drug off of her, and I kicked and thrashed angrily, but it was no use. I saw Lucas and Alder hauling White away, and then I saw another figure forming in the sky. I looked back at White, deciding that, for the moment at least, Alder and Lucas would be more helpful to her than I would be. I turned my attention to the large, black object in the sky. I saw my father flying down on his Hydreigon. It was time to finish this.

"Zekrom, GO!" I screamed, throwing the Pokeball into the air and watching the huge Pokémon lunge out. When my father landed on the shore next to me, he jumped off of his Hydreigon and pointed at Zekrom.

"Hydreigon, use Dragon Tail again!" he yelled out over the sound of the thunder. The Hydreigon flew over to Zekrom, smacking it heavily with its tail. Zekrom flew backwards, and then saved itself with a small backflip. But I could tell that it hurt Zekrom. I felt my rage growing. My father had hurt my friends multiple times, and now he had hurt White, the most precious thing to me. It was the least I could do to take him down. I looked up through the rain at my Zekrom, shielding my eyes.

"Zekrom, use Fusion Bolt! Take your power out of the sky! Charge yourself up!" I screamed up. I saw Zekrom look down at me out of one eye. Then, it soared up through the sky, hovering in a cloud. I saw a flash of lightning, and then heard the crash of thunder. Suddenly, Zekrom was flying back down, glowing with electricity.

"Zekrom, Fusion Bolt!" I screamed once again. Zekrom cried out, unleashing its full power on the Hydreigon. I watched as the electricity surged, erupting in a flow of pure lightning. The Hydreigon flew backwards, getting slammed onto the ground. Smoke rose from the ground, and I saw Ghetsis staring unbelieving at his Pokémon.

"It's over my father. You have lost." I yelled across the shore. Still in shock, Ghetsis just stared at me in fury. I strode over to him, releasing my Zoroark. I told it to grab Ghetsis and take him back to the Police Station in the nearest city. Zoroark growled, slinging Ghetsis over his back and bounded off. I recalled Zekrom quickly, thanking it and speeding quickly away towards the Champion's temple.

I stared at White's limp body, which was now sprawled across a small bed in the hospital. She was still alive, but only just. She had stopped breathing for a minute after my return, and I thought I had lost her. But she had come back to us. I reached forward and stroked her hair. I had been sitting here for at least two days. Maybe more. I wasn't really very sure. Everything had been an absolute blur since the accident.

All I knew was that Ghetsis had gone to prison. He was supposed to have a life sentence, but I wasn't sure of anything anymore. I was just going to wait until she woke up. They had told me today that she should regain consciousness in a few days, and I wanted to be the first thing that she saw when she woke up.

My fury with Ghetsis hadn't died. I didn't even consider him my father anymore. Even though he had found me and taken me in when I was just a small child, I still could never forgive him. I was nothing more than a pawn in his game. He had taken everything from me. I would never get over that fact. I could never trust him again.

I still remember the day that he found me. It's a bit fuzzy, but I can recall almost all of it. I was alone in the woods with my Zorua. I was scared, and worried. But as long as I had my Pokémon with me, then I was going to be alright. I remember Ghetsis coming up to me, picking me up, and taking me back to his house. He told me he would take me in and adopt me, since I knew nothing about my real parents. I agreed, happy to finally have a home.

I had thought that Ghetsis actually cared about me. He began showing me many injured Pokémon and told me how hurt they were. He said that all of the Pokémon had been abused by their evil trainers. Even though I had always planned on becoming a trainer myself, I began to hate all trainers for what they did to Pokémon.

Later, Ghetsis introduced me to my castle. He told me that it was all mine if I would agree to fight with him for liberation of all mistreated Pokémon. I agreed with him, not for the castle, but because I felt that it was the right thing to do. I began to put every thought and idea that I had into stopping all Pokémon trainers from hurting Pokémon.

After a while, I became absolutely obsessed with liberating Pokémon. I then started to realize that not all Pokémon trainers were bad. That was about the time that I had met White. She showed me the error of my ways. That's the main reason I fell in love with her. She was brilliant. Flawless. Perfect. And I loved her more than anything in the word. I didn't need anything else. I felt my face fall. And now, here she was, passed out in front of me, at death's door.

I knew that I had failed in my duty to protect her. I was in love with her. We were engaged to be married. And yet, I had not protected her when she needed me the most. I couldn't stand myself. I needed to let her go. But I was too selfish. I knew that I couldn't do that to myself. And I also knew that White wouldn't be able to understand why I did it. No, I wouldn't leave her again. I would just do my best to protect her, no matter what. I would give my life to her. That was the best that a simple human like myself could give her.
