Chapter 4-Takuto finally sets off on his journey!

I don't think I've ever been in the tunnel to route 19... But it seemed as if the man at the desk knew me.
"Hiya Takuto! Before you head on out you need a- Oh? You have a Pokémon with you! Take this as a going away gift!" He handed me a purple bottle.
"Wh-What is it?" I shuddered a bit.
"It's a potion...it brings up my health..." Ace said, playing my hair.
"Oh, well thanks Mister..." I smile wearily and exit the tunnel and enter route 19. It was so lush and...wow...I was actually taken aback by this.
"Dude...listen...Bianca is trying to help you..." Ace said, making me snap out of my trance.
"Took you long enough! Okay, so here is how things work. You pokedex will automatically record the Pokémon you have met so you don't need to worry about that. And when you catch the Pokémon, you get more detailed info about them! Now stand here, I'll show you how to catch one!" She smiled, walking into the tall grass. After taking a few steps into the grass, a purple cat with green eyes and pink markings popped out.
"Ace...is that..." I started. It turns out I didn't even have to finish. Ace understood what I meant.
"Yep...a Pokémon..."
"Go! Lillipup!" Bianca threw a pokeball and out came a tan-colored, dog-like Pokémon. It had big eyes and a red nose, and its face covered by cream fur. Its large ears have spiky lower extensions. Its tail is spiky and shaped similarly to its ears. While I was analyzing Lillipup, Bianca turned back and looked at me.
"First you have to lower the Pokémon's hp, then throw one of the pokeballs I gave you, like this!" She threw a pokeball at the purple cat as it was damaged by Lillipup. The pokeball bounced off of it's head and the cat was engulfed by a red light and was sucked into the ball. It rattled for a few second then just...stopped. Bianca clapped her hands together.
"Did you get all of that?" She asked as Lillipup returned to it's pokeball. I nod slowly, getting the concept."now, you want to give that map to Lyon? He probably went to Floccesy town which is down this route! Now I have to go. Get strong and meet lots of new Pokémon that will soon become your friends! Bye bye now!" She said, heading back to Aspertia. I wish I could actually tell her that she is...pretty. I look up at Ace.
"Well I guess it's just us..." I say, looking over at the tall grass.
"Let's go and catch one already..." Ace said as I started walking in the grass. A few minutes later, a little beaver thing popped out, declaring battle.
"Taku...that's a Patrat..." He said jumping down."let's go!" He said, ready to fight.
"Okay, use Tackle." I called out as Ace swiftly attacked the wild Patrat. The wild Patrat to the hit. It looked pretty damaged to me. Sadly I was wrong because Patrat tackled Ace back.
"Ace are you okay?" I ask. Ace nodded. I took out a pokeball and threw it at the Patrat. The Patrat was sucked in but didn't stay in. Damn, I was getting annoyed by the second. Patrat wasted no time and attacked once again, making Ace fly back.
"Ace...okay...let's try this again..." I throw another time. This time, one...two...three...it stopped, I finally caught one! I know I know, that was so anticlimactic, but that was just how I rolled...*pops collar*. As Ace and I went over to the caught Pokémon, I look at Ace.
"Um...good job Ace..." I mumbled, picking up the pokeball. Ace was about to respond but was cut off by a beeping noise in my bag. It was my pokedex...I slid it open quickly and I say Patrat again.
"Patrat: The Scout Pokémon ... Extremely cautious, one of them will always be on the lookout, but it won't notice a foe coming from behind." It said. Before I even had the chance to put the pokedex away, it started beeping.
"Would you like to give your Patrat a nickname?" It asked me. Ace and I exchange a bleak expression. I guess it wouldn't hurt...
"Um...I'll name you Zu-Zu..." I smiled wearily, looking down at the pokeball."maybe I should go and heal you two at Aspertia before continuing..." I mumble, turning around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In Aspertia City's Pokémon Center~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Ace and Zu-Zu were getting checked up on a man with a red bandana motioned me over. I know my mom said never to talk to strangers but he seemed like he needed to tell me something. I walk over.
"Y-Yes?" I shuddered a bit. The man looked at me.
"Wait you're..." He started.
We were inside Chargestone Cave when he started this conversation.
"Thank you my friend..." He said to me."Return to the peaceful life you lived before." I hesitated.
"Lord N. why are you releasing your Pokémon?" I asked him. Lord N looked away from me.
"I can't... I just can't keep Pokémon confined in pokeballs! Also, if they stay with their Trainers, Pokémon will battle, and they will be hurt... Even if it is for changing the world to protect Pokémon... It's too hard for me to put through such pain... " He said.
"But..." I started."Ever since we were young, we've caught Pokémon and made then battle. That's just how the world works, isn't it?" I asked him. Lord N shook his head sadly.
"Who decided that catching Pokémon and making them battle each other is how the world works? That wasn't how things were before pokeballs were invented... The rules that govern this world are wrong!" Lord N's words surprised me.
"Th-That's true..." I stutter." Well, I guess I'll let my Pokémon go, then." I step out, getting ready to release them. Lord N shook his head yet again.
"Not yet! The world hasn't changed yet! The time to free your Pokémon will be when I befriend Unova region's legendary Dragon-type Pokémon, surpass the Champion, and become the hero!" He growled out.
"Well then, I'll head to the next destination." It looked as if I head off, but I hid behind a rock to watch of The Lord.
"I will separate Pokémon and people, and black and white will be clearly distinct! Only then will Pokémon become perfect beings! But then why... Why do those Pokémon seem so sad to leave me? ...Nabia2[my heroine of Pokémon Black]! Is it because of that Trainer that me heart wavers now? We're the words of the Pokémon in Accumula Town really true? Does that mean Nabia2 is an ideal Trainer?... The cries of the suffering Pokémon filling that room... The borderline between Pokémon and humans... I exist on that line. I live in the margins between everyone, so I will save them! I will change the world! And to that end, I must fight to the finish with Nabia2!..."

I had so much I wanted to ask. Like who Nabia2 and N were and how am I anyway like that? I fell completely silent.
"Oh, I'm sorry...when I saw you, I just started talking for some reason. Please don't worry about it" He said, scratching the back of his head.
"Oh, don't worry about it...it's okay..." I mumbled, going over to get Ace and Zu-Zu.

To be continued...
