Yuri's P.O.V:

The day was nice, the sun was shining, clear blue skies, and a fresh breeze, the day was actually perfect.

So I called Jen if she wanted to go out.

Not on a date, but just to hang out.

At a picnic...

Not that the guys needed to know that.

Not that I could tell them anyways.

They left.

There was a bitter feeling as I thought about it. I mean come on! We've been best friends since we were in diapers, and then suddenly these guys ditch me? What the hay? And the last thing they do is leave a flimsy note in our hangout! What kind of goodbye is that?!

Okay maybe I was more than a little bitter. But...I had a right to be angry, how come they didn't tell me? We were best friends!

It kind of hurt, I didn't let Jen know that though, all I wanted to do is finish with college, move out, and spend more time with Jen.

I didn't pick up the phone when they called, or texted.

But it hurt.

"Yuri!" I looked up and forced a wide grin on my face.

"Hey Jen!" pretty strawberry blonde hair, glowing tan skin, and teal blue eyes.

I took her hand in mine and interlocked our fingers, "How's it going princess?" I asked casually, feeling the anger from my previous thoughts ebb away.

"Wondering if you're okay." I flinched and turned to her, she was giving me a knowing look.

"Something bothering you Yuri?" She asked, I sighed, and scratched the back of my head, knowing I couldn't really lie to her.

"No...the guys ditched me to run off and travel...they didn't even bother telling me when they left..." I couldn't stop the vehemence, and hurt in my voice.

Jen suddenly stopped, causing me to stop, "Yuri, I'm sure they had a good reason for doing that, maybe...maybe they wanted you to stay here." I whirled around and glared at her.

"Why?!"

"For me."

At that I stopped, blinking at her in confusion.

She frowned softly, and slightly guiltily. "Yuri, we just started this relationship, maybe they didn't want you to leave, and break it off..."

My eyes narrowed at her, "How do you know that." her guilty expression grew, and she looked down.

"They told me, but I thought you knew about them leaving, that's why I didn't tell you!" she said hastily.

Her expression was sad, and ashamed, I couldn't fault her for it.

I sighed, covering my face with my hand.

"I guess there's only one thing to do." I felt her hand fall away from mine.

"I-I guess... Yuri...I'm sorry, and I understand if you don't want to talk to me again..."

I put my hand down and stared at her incredulously, "What? No, that's not it. You crazy? I ain't breaking up with you, nah, I was thinking more along the lines of getting some plane tickets, and going after them." I shrugged carelessly, looking at her with a hinting look, she stared at me with wide eyes.

Slowly the information sunk in.

"H-Huh?!"

Luca's P.O.V:

I smiled as I looked up to the sky, Pokemon I had never seen before flying happily. I gasped in amazement.

"Wow, I do love Sinnoh, but I won't lie, Unova is beautiful." I said as I looked around the neighborhood of Nuvema town, Kunie's new hometown, I was excited to see her, we hadn't heard from her in over six months, which made us worried for a while, but had gotten brief, and short updates from her parents, that she was well, and things were okay with them, but we still found it weird she didn't tell us herself.

Haku was silent as usual, petting his Infernape quietly. It was almost soothing to see how in sync the two were with each other.

I smiled at him behind my hand, not wanting to seem rude.

"Their house is over there Haku, we should go and say hi." I advised as I pushed his shoulder slightly with my hand, he nodded firmly before walking ahead to the house I had pointed out, I could see the open ceiling that Kunie had described before. I smiled as I saw it, knowing Kunie would probably be having a screaming match with Rune about another prank he had probably played on her.

We went past the white picket fence and walked up the cobblestone walk to the white painted porch, I looked around appreciatively, Mrs. Nagako had planted many flowers around, Begonias, Roses, Tulips, Camellias, the bright colors standing out with the baby blue of the house.

I barely had enough time to see if I was presentable before Haku rang the doorbell twice, we only had to wait a couple minutes before the light voice of Nagako Hana said she was coming, the door opened slightly, but the minute she saw them she opened the door wider, and grinned, I gave a quick scan of her, her hair slightly disheveled, she looked tired, and pale, and she had deep bags under her eyes, "Haku, Yuri! How wonderful to see you two! W-what on earth are you doing here?" she asked as she leaned forward and hugged Haku with slight difficulty, the two of us stared at the stomach with wide eyes.

"Either you're pregnant, or you've gained a lot of weight in the past months..." Haku deadpanned as he zeroed on the bulging stomach.

She glared at Haku's blunt statement, and smacked him.

"I'm pregnant you brat."

"Nonetheless you look just as beautiful as before Mrs. Nagako." She stared at me before a smile bloomed on her face.

"See? Now why can't you be like Luca, Haku? Such a polite boy." Haku simply scoffed in offense, clearly never planning on doing such.

Mrs. Nagako rolled her eyes before opening the door wider, "Well come in, you're lucky I was craving cookies." we both sighed in relief, grateful that the Nagakos, even in pregnancy, still had a raging sweet tooth. "Is this little Chimchar? He's already so big!" she said as she grinned wider, patting Infernape on the head, making him coo in response. We all went into the kitchen were she pushed over the plate filled with chocolate chip cookies, we both took one, "Do you two want milk, juice?"

"Milk." we both said in unison, Infernape took a cookie, and munched on it loudly, growling happily.

We only waited a second before a frowned slightly, why wasn't Mrs. Nagako calling for Kunie, it was already six, by now Kunie would be home for curfew, and she would have told us if Kunie was out.

"Where's Kunie?" I winced at the lack of tact Haku used.

She raised her eyebrow high, "You mean she didn't tell you? But I thought..." she looked down before her eyes widened, and she looked at them with an apology in her eyes.

Haku tensed beside me "What? What happened to her?" I grabbed his arm before he could grab Mrs. Nagako and force her to tell him, he needed to learn to control his emotions better when it came to Kunie.

"She... left, months ago, that girl! I thought she told you..." she gave us a second look, sighing tiredly, "you remember those stones?" We both nodded weakly.

"Well there was some kind of uncontrollable power in them, so Kunie went out on a journey with two teachers to help her, and Rune master it, the last time they were here was a couple weeks ago."

Silence filled the kitchen.

I stared at Haku, knowing he might react badly, eventually Mrs. Nagako did the same, he was looking down, a tense expression on his face.

"She's gone on a journey?"

"Yes."

"I'm going after them then." My eyes widened as I grabbed his shoulder.

"Haku wait! They went on a journey, they could be anywhere in Unova right now! We don't know this place yet... Look, we'll call them, ask them to wait for us, then we can catch up with them, think rationally." I said as quickly as I could, holding him back so he wouldn't leave mid-sentence.

"No, you look! She's in trouble! Okay!? I need to get to her now!" he shouted at me, making me flinch back slightly. Infernape winced, but didn't move.

At that I stopped, looking at Haku in a new light, realizing with growing dread that he was hiding something. "What...are you talking about?" I asked softly, confusion filling me.

He was silent.

Mrs. Nagako stood up, looking at us seriously, "Haku, you listen to me, and you listen good okay? My daughter has been through hay and back these past years, if you have any sign that she's in trouble you'll tell me, now!" she threatened, a dark look in her eyes, Haku looked at her almost guiltily.

But we weren't going to give him a choice, he shouldn't have been keeping secrets.

Especially from me.

"...You know about...how Kunie's psychic now?" we nodded, she had told us when she had come to visit us in Sinnoh.

"I am too..except mine works a little differently...I have...telepathic empathy dreams...I...I can see into the minds of others in my sleep, and I feel their emotions..." He looked at us, and for the first time in years I saw Haku's eyes fill with tears, "She's always so sad, and scared, but not like this..." the tears almost spilled over as his voice wavered, "She's so scared right now... I need to get to her, as soon as I can." his voice cracked halfway as he stared at us brokenly.

"That's why you wanted to come here so badly..." I whispered, remembering the determination he had when he suddenly packed his bags, and asked me to go to Unova with him to find Kunie.

I never really understood why, I thought it was because he wanted her to travel with him, or he just wanted to visit her.

Not because he had magical dreams that told him when she was in trouble.

Didn't matter, right now he needed to know i supported him, and his strange dreams.

"Haku." He looked at me, I smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"You know I am with you, together we will find Kunie." that made him smile, slightly tearfully, he wiped at his eyes and chuckled deeply.

"S-sorry..."

"We can't all be strong forever Haku, I'm glad you have told me." He nodded, we turned to Mrs. Nagako, who was looking down desolately.

"So she's going through problems again then?" She asked softly

Haku nodded. "Mostly likely."

"Then find her...Arceus knows I can't..." she placed her hand on her stomach weakly.

"He's due in less than three months..." she muttered softly, looking up at us.

"Bring my baby girl back, kicking and screaming if you have to, I'll straighten her out." she huffed, placing her hands on her hips with a stern look our way, we looked at each other and smiled.

Before a thought came to my mind.

"...I can actually see that happening..."

N was a good kid.

Anyone could see it.

The grunts loved him for it.

His father found it hard to be angry at him for it.

His sisters would do anything for him because of it.

His friends...would do anything for him because of it.

But it didn't stop there, he wasn't just a good kid.

He was an innocent one.

He could see what was right, and wrong, and never do the latter.

But there would be some people that would make things appear differently, cloud his eyes.

And make that innocent little mind make a mistake he would forever regret.

But that didn't make him bad, he didn't know any better...

He didn't know he was wearing a blindfold his whole life.

Nonetheless... he was a good kid.

("I wish I could meet the girl in my dreams...")

What would happen was not his fault.

("Why is that?")

It would be the master holding the strings that was a fault.

("Because I want to make her feel better!")

In the end, things would go the way they were meant to go.

("Why is that?")

And the boy would make a grave mistake.

("Because!...it's not right for her to be sad...")

But there will be no reason to fear.

("Why is that?")

Because the Black, and White heroes will save the day this time.

("I...I dunno...I just...feel it's wrong...")

("So you have no good reason? How childish.")

("But...it's the right thing to do.")

("Human's hurt us. Humans hurt you. Remember when you had nowhere to go? When no one loved you? It will be the same.")

("But...I am human...")

(You are a freak...)

"Hey. You okay?"

Light filtered through the green leaves on the trees, casting small streams of light to fall on the grass blades, Bird Pokemon chirping loudly from far away, it was mostly silent.

Crimson eyes opened, connecting to slate blue eyes.

Worried.

The human was worried.

"You were hurt, so I took care of you, but I don't know if I missed anything, can you tell me if anything hurts?" The boy said, putting his face closer to the Pokemon.

Usually close contact would bother him, but he couldn't find himself to pull away from the boy that lulled his pain away just by being close. There was something about him that caused the Pokemon to instead come closer and bump his forehead with the boy's, who smiled, despite the small bruise now growing there.

"Looks like you're okay. What's your name?"

He wanted to answer, but the man told him not to.

So instead he shook his head.

"What's the matter? Does your throat hurt?" Again he shook his head.

Feeling the pain that rang at the back of his neck, he winced.

The boy noticed, "Ah! You're hurt!" he instantly latched his hands to the back of his neck, exactly where the pain originated, he could already see the pain he would receive.

But it never came.

Instead the most soothing feeling he had ever felt came, washing over him, he sighed as he pushed his head closer, hoping to receive more warmth, and comfort.

The boy chuckled in amusement.

"Don't worry, you'll feel better in no time! Oh, my name is N by the way."

The Pokemon looked up, wild tea green hair tied almost lazily into a ponytail, and large almond-shaped slate blue eyes, with a cherubic face, also incredibly short.

He was adorable.

The Pokemon winced, pushing his blade away from the child, in hopes of making sure the child wouldn't cut himself with his weapon.

He had the unfortunate fate of meeting this adorable child.

He had a weakness for adorable things.

K.M:

Bear with me...yes this is another sort of filler.

Hey, anyone else notice that for a Pokemon fic this doesn't have a lot of Pokemon battles?

I should remedy that... Anyway, what, and who, moving on.

Luca, and Haku are officially in da house!

And N has found another Pokemon! He's not keeping that one though...Not much to say on this one...

Meh...PM me, Review, whatever, I don't really care which one you choose...

If you have any questions feel free to ask. You can read the answers below.

On to the answers:

RedIronFang: The stones are attaching themselves to Rune per say... You know how when a Pokemon touches a stone that makes them evolve they do, but it could be completely by accident and they would evolve anyway, because that's just what happens. Now these are not Evolution stones, but are more similar to a mega stone, in which case the evolution would only be temporary, but since he's still on his first stage they've attached themselves to him until he evolves to his second stage, in which case he would then mega-evolve, but until then the stones will stay with him.

MagicWarriorDragon: I don't think she needs one either, but I will put one if you guys decide she should have one.

RedIronFang: It's hard for Kunie to understand that she needs to have a connection with her Pokemon, she feels that she just has to do it and get it over with, which is why it's all bumps on the road with her.

Nyabear: N is the most likely pairing because Red is around his early twenties in this time, and Luca is seven years older than her, so there's no way I'm pairing them together, N is actually only three years older than Kunie, because he's four years older than Black and co, he's really only the closest choice because everyone else is like a sibling to her.

RedIronFang: Yes that's the vibe she portrays on the outside, making everyone think she only uses everyone for her own selfish purposes, but in truth she's really only acting this way to not seem as close to the others, it's just her way of being, but she really cares, and worries about them, she just finds the fact that the two people she cares about are in a depressive state when other people have been worse off and are happy, she feels they're being stupid for acting the way they are so she's doing what everyone considers is tough love, a "I love you but I'm not going to let you off the hook" kind a way.
