Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a wild ride. And here we are, the final chapter of Missing N Action.
Thankyou all for reading, reviewing, and everything else. I really appreciate it.
Let's take a walk through chapter 21, shall we?
I woke up again on the hospital bed, this time feeling a lot better. I pulled myself up and stretched, receiving that long needed relaxing easiness.
"Miss Hilda?" a voice asked. From the hall a doctor came into the room. He smiled.
"You must have been really tired. You've been sleeping for a while now. We were wondering when you'd get up."
"I guess I was," I smiled as well.
"Well, if you're ready, you are healthy enough to leave now. If you feel anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to return and see me. Understand?" I nodded. "Good. Your sister's here. She's been anxious for you to wake up." Rosa popped into the doorway.
"Hilda!" she ran over and hugged me. "Are you ready to go home?"
"Yeah. But, what about-"
"N? We've asked him if he wanted to stay with us for now." I smiled at Rosa.
"Rosa? How about I treat you to something I never did before?"
"Like what?" Rosa seemed excited.
"Oh, I don't know, depends if Reshiram is feeling up to it." Rosa's smile widened more than before. For years she'd been asking me if I could get Reshiram to give her a ride, and I'd always refused, saying she should see Unova when she went out on her journey, and feel the thrills then. But now she'd gone on her journey, so…
"Reshiram, I choose you!" I threw the pokéball in the air, and watch as my friend came out.
I pulled an innocent face. "Can we ride on your back Reshiram?" Reshiram turned his head up and down, which I took as a nod. Rosa and I climbed atop his back, and, lifting his wings, Reshiram soared into the sky. I could see that N had had the same idea, as he was flying nearby on Zekrom.
"Nuvema Town!" Rosa pointed. I smiled. The ice had melted away so quickly. Nuvema was shining with the beautiful colors only it could produce.
A week or so had passed since arriving at Nuvema. Laziness was getting to me, and I needed to do something. Especially since I'd left Layla so suddenly.
"Mom," I said one morning. "I'm going to leave soon again."
"What?" My mother's expression saddened. It hurt me to see her like that.
"I need to go back to Kanto. I left some things unfinished, and I need to cut off the loose threads and set things straight."
"I'll go with you, Hilda," N said quietly, sipping a cup of coffee. I looked over and smiled.
"I'd love to come with you, but I have to challenge the Elite Four and the Champion. But afterwards I might tag along! You can show me around Kanto!" Rosa threw her hands in the air, full of joy.
I looked over at my mom. "I know, I just got back, and I'm leaving again. But I shouldn't take too long. I think at the maximum I'll be there for a month maybe, but no longer. Team Plasma is gone, anyways. I won't get distracted this time. Plus, I've got N with me!"
My mother smiled softly. "Didn't I tell you I trust you completely? I know you wouldn't abandon me. n't forget me and try to return soon. It can get lonely. You know, even Cheren and Bianca are always out of the house."
"I know, Cheren's a gym leader, and Bianca's the professor's assistant." I smiled. "But I'll come back soon."
"Reshiram, you ready?" I called. He lifted his wings and we took for the skies. N flew about fifteen or so feet from me. I smiled.
The wind tore through my face, and I looked around.
We had been flying for half an hour.
"Do you think we should let them rest?" I called out to N.
"Yeah, probably!" N called back. We stopped in a bustling city. But I had never seen this place before.
"Where are we?" I asked, looking around.
A billboard answered my question, reading, "Welcome to Goldenrod City."
"Hey, Leaf told me the Magnet train connected this city to Saffron City. Isn't that where Layla is?" N said, pulling out a ticket. "Leaf lent me her ticket. Do you want to board the train?"
"Okay," I said, walking alongside him down the roads of Goldenrod. "But where are we? I mean, I know we're in Goldenrod, but where's Goldenrod?"
"We're in Johto, I believe. I've been here before." N pointed to a building. "I think that's the Magnet Train."
We walked into the building, and sure enough, it looked like a train station.
"Excuse me," a man dressed as a conductor walked over. "Are you two planning on boarding the train?"
"That's correct."
"Can I see your ticket?" N handed him the ticket.
"Alright, you may pass. But I'll warn you, I hear something odd is going on there."
I looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"
"Some weird guy is going about giving weird speeches or something. I don't really know."
I shrugged, and followed N aboard the Train.
Within seconds, we had arrived. I was impressed. This was one fast train.
Exiting the station, I looked around. I could recognize the buildings of Saffron. It wasn't that long ago that I was here, anyways.
"Hilda, it looks like something is going on over there. Let's go check it out!"
I followed N over to a stage like area. Two men stood on top, and on closer inspection, I panicked. Looking over at N, I could see he was doing the same.
"Today, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to talk to you about Pokemon Liberation," the green haired man called out.
If you still have any questions for tomorrow, we will be accepting them, so long as they are posted before we upload the finale chapter. So...
Bye! See you all at the celebrations that is the Finale Chapter!
