Chapter 25 here we go. I am taking it back to Unova... super creative chapter title right?

This is again just a transitioning chapter, nothing too awfully exciting, and a little bit of fluffiness. (I really doubt that is how that is spelled, but ohwell)

This is rather short compaired to my other chapters, and it is also rather late, so I apologize.

Thanks for all the reviews and whatnot again. :P

Anywho I'll stop rambling now, Enjoy! :)


Chapter 25: Back to Unova

It was about one thirty when I saw the outline of Unova in the distance. I had gotten a late start, and I knew N would be worried when I didn't arrive at noon like I had said. I had had about five hours to contemplate what my surprise was. I finally settled on the idea that N had gotten me a Pokémon; that was the only reasonable explanation I could come up with. I turned Sigilyph a little to the left, so I would be heading towards the gate to Unova. Soon I saw where I would be landing. It wasn't so much of a gate, as it looked more like a runway for an airplane. It was a small paved area with forest on either side, and was on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the ocean. I saw the small building where the man who works there spends most of his time. I also saw a dot of green and knew N was there waiting for me. As I got closer I noticed he was leaning against the building, tapping his foot, looking around nervously. I smiled.

Soon I was landing and N looked overjoyed. As I got off of Sigilyph I looked around, waiting to see a small Growlithe or Vulpix with a ribbon around their neck; but I didn't. I returned Sigilyph and turned to N who was speed walking towards me. I smiled and started walking towards him. I had really missed N, and still hadn't realized exactly how much until I saw him.

I broke into a jog as I met him and threw my arms around his neck in a tight hug. He bent over a little and wrapped his arms around me, squeezing me even harder than I was him, almost to the point where I thought I wasn't going to be able to breathe.

"I missed you White" he said letting out a sigh.

"I missed you too N" I said, a smile showing through in my voice.

I pulled back and smiled up at him, my arms still loosely around his neck.

"Welcome back" he said with a smile, and leaned down for a kiss.

I was smacked in the face with something dark before he had the chance though, and I stumbled back a few feet. My hands flew to my face and peeled off the small object, which turned out to be Zorua, who was also happy I was back.

I chuckled, "Hi Zorua"

He yipped and licked my face, I giggled.

N chuckled but looked a bit irritated at the interruption.

"So where is this so called surprise?" I asked, excitement showing through as I petted Zorua.

"You will see tomorrow" he said, smirking.

"What?" I asked, "Tomorrow?"

He nodded, "I wanted to have a day with you first, and make sure you got here in time" he frowned, "by the way, why were you late?"

I shrugged, "Meh, I slept in longer than I had intended"

He looked satisfied with my answer and picked up Zorua from my arms. The small fox looked a little distressed at first but settled onto N's shoulder quickly. N grabbed my hand and started walking. We were stopped by the same man who always checked my pass. He held out his hand and I gave him my trainer card. He nodded and handed it back to me.

"Can you tell me when the subway to Anville town stops by the station near here?" N asked the man.

"In about a half an hour" the man said in a monotone voice, as he craned his neck to look up at N. I could tell the man didn't like N much, mostly because N stuck around the gate a while when I left, and apparently when I came back he did also.

"Thank you" N said smiling and started walking again.

"Where is Anville town?" I asked, as I had never heard of the place.

"It is on the outskirts of Unova, the only way to get to it is by subway" N said, looking down at me.

"Huh, sounds interesting" I said, looking up at him. Misty's question as to how tall N was crept back into my mind. He was a good foot taller than me, but then again I was rather short at only 5'2". I guessed N was around the six foot mark.

We walked for a while. N asked me how Johto was. I told him it was amazing.

The whole time N never let go of my hand and I realized it was going to be like the last time I came back, where he tried not to let me out of his sight, for fear I would leave again. I smiled to myself.

Soon I saw a building in the distance and as we got closer I realized it was in fact a subway station. Though it more looked like a railroad station. It was really just a small wooden platform with tracks in front of it.

We both walked up to a small glass window where a woman with short brown hair was working.

"Two tickets to Anville town please" N said with a smile and reached into his pocket.

"Okay that'll be-" N shoved an absurd amount of money through the hole in the window before she could tell him how much it cost. She slipped the tickets back through and started to get him some change.

"No need" N said with a smile and turned to give me my ticket.

Her eyes were wide and she grinned at what had to be the largest tip in history.

I took the ticket from N and even a few minutes later was still shocked at how much money N had paid.

He sat down on a wooden bench and motioned for me to also.

"It should be here in about five minutes" he said smiling.

I sat down next to him and he wrapped his arm around me. Pretty soon I heard a loud noise and saw a silver subway heading towards us. N smiled.

"Zorua if you please" he said, holding up a pokeball. Zorua was still perched on N's shoulder and he tapped his nose on the ball, becoming a red blob before he was sucked in. N put the pokeball in his pocket and stood up.

We boarded the subway and picked a seat near the door. It wasn't what I was expecting though, as there was literally no one else on the subway. It was a bit eerie and I wondered if we had gotten on the right car.

"Why isn't there anyone else here?" I questioned.

"Not many people go to Anville town, it's pretty isolated."

I scooted closer to him as the sounds of the tracks mixed with the emptiness started to give me the creeps. He chuckled and pulled me in closer. I did have to admit I felt a lot better with N there and soon relaxed.

We were there in about an hour and exited the subway car to see a beautiful scene. Everything was so green, a shade of green I honestly hadn't seen before. At times N's hair would blend in with the foliage and I would laugh, and he would stare at me, wondering why I was so giggly.

I breathed in and smelled a variety of flowers.

N looked pleased that I apparently liked it.

Anville town was very small, with a population almost as low as my home town. We walked around and saw all the kinds of flowers and plants that were exclusive to this town. It had some of the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen. Anville town also had a complex train station with trains going almost anywhere. Finally after a long but very fun day, we found ourselves sitting on a bench waiting to go back to Nimbasa City.

"Why did you take me here?" I asked, looking up at him.

He shrugged, "This is a beautiful place, and not many people come here, so I figured it would be good for you to see it."

I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder. At first it felt weird to do this with N and not Brock, but after a few seconds it felt normal.


It was almost pitch black by the time we arrived in Nimbasa City. I rented the same large room I had when I came back the last time and let all my Pokémon out. I went through the motions of getting ready for bed, my mind still on the surprise that I was apparently getting tomorrow.

N crawled through the bedroom window once again, and read a book while I took my shower. When I got out I trudged into the main room still drying my hair with a towel. Talace had once again gone in the other bedroom as he didn't want to be near N. I looked over to see the wall had a large black patch on it.

"What did you guys do while I was in there?" I questioned.

N turned around and closed his book.

"Talace wasn't too happy I was back, and his smoke ball of frustration collided with the wall." N said, smiling to himself, though I could tell it bothered him that Talace still didn't want him around.

I sighed and shook my head walking into the bedroom, making a mental note to get that cleaned.

N kicked off his shoes and closed the door behind him. I brushed my hair while sitting in front of the mirror and watched him as he walked over to wrap his arms round my waist, leaning down to my level.

"I'm glad you're back" N said smiling and looking at my face in the mirror. He rested his chin on my shoulder.

"I am too" I said now also smiling.

He gently kissed my neck before he stood up to walk over to the door to let in Zorua who was patiently sitting outside the door, leaving a tiny shadow.

The small Pokémon ran in and jumped up on the dresser in front of me; I smiled at him.

"So are you staying in here tonight?" I asked.

He barked in approval and I giggled. I set down the brush and picked up Zorua to give him a small kiss on the head before he hopped up to sit on my shoulder. N looked very unhappy and after a while I realized he was jealous of the kiss I gave to Zorua. I chuckled and stood up.

N gave me a confused look, wondering why I was laughing. I walked over and stood on my tip toes to give him a peck on the cheek. He blushed and walked over to climb into bed. Zorua had now climbed on top of my head and I was having to walk slowly to make sure the tiny Pokémon wouldn't fall off.

N smiled and patted the bed next to him. Zorua hopped off of my head and landed on the squishy mattress to start jumping around on it. I crawled in next to N and watched as Zorua played with a wrinkle in the sheets.

N sighed and laid flat. I did the same and rested my head on his chest. We were both very tired but Zorua obviously wasn't, as he romped around on the bed trying to make us get back up. N sighed and reached in his pocket to pull out Zorua's pokeball. He threw it so it rolled towards the door and the dark fox Pokémon flew off the bed after it, tapping it all around the room and finally out the door.

N chuckled and so did I.

"I still want to know what the surprise is you know" I said turning over a little to rest my chin on my hands.

"I know" N said, grinning.

"Why won't you tell me?" I questioned, a little irritated that I couldn't figure it out on my own.

"That would go against the very meaning of the word surprise." N said, playing with a strand of my hair.

I sighed in defeat, 'I guess I will just have to wait till tomorrow then' I thought.

"I hope you like it" N said absentmindedly.

"Well if you tell me what it is, I can tell you whether or not I like it" I said, trying to coax it out of him.

"I'm not falling for that" N said, giving me a wide smile.

I stuck my tongue out at him and flopped down, so I was now lying on my back.

N now propped up on his side.

"Oh, I forgot to ask, how did it go with Ash and Charizard?"

I blinked a few times, getting ready to answer the off the wall question.

"It went really well, they have almost gotten to a point of friendship" I said, smiling at how Charizard still grilled Ash with a flamethrower every time he was let out of his ball.

"Good" N said, nodding to himself. I yawned.

Soon I saw his face over mine, and he placed his hand around my face. I knew he was trying to make up for the missed kiss when I got to Unova due to Zorua. I smiled as he started to lean down, and met him half way, pushing myself off of the bed a bit. He kissed with a passion I hadn't felt before, and I realized he had missed me more than I had thought. Just as I was about to put my arms around his neck I felt a thud on the bed and Zorua pranced over to look at us; thoroughly confused. He barked, no doubt asking what we were doing. I pulled back and N gave off an irritated growl as he flopped back to his back on the bed. We hadn't actually had a kiss that wasn't interrupted yet, whether it was due to Talace, Zorua, or one of us wanting to tell the other something; and this fact frustrated N to no end.

Zorua happily turned around in circles to curl up on N's chest. His irritated look soon disappeared and he smiled down at Zorua.

"I have no idea why he likes to sleep like this" N said, lightly chuckling.

"Your chest makes a good pillow" I said, smiling. He grinned.

I clicked off the light and snuggled down next to N.

"Goodnight sweetheart" N said, pulling me in as close as he could.

"Goodnight N" I said, smiling.

Zorua yipped.

"Goodnight Zorua" we both said in unison, and started laughing.
