I want to go back to that place where I thought I could be with you forever.
N wasnt coming back for me, I knew that much. If I ever wanted to see him again I would have to look for him by myself. I had fallen in love with him on my own and no one could help me show him that. This journey didnt involve the fate of the world. It was only me following my one desire, to be with N again.
Maybe if I retrace my steps, Ill find the answer that I missed along the way. Then Ill know what to do I thought.
Lets go Zekrom, I said to the black dragon standing before me. Its fiery eyes were filled with determination. I knew my new friend would take me where ever I wanted to go.
Take me to Castelia City, I said holding on as we soared into the endless sky.
When I arrived I was immersed in the maze of sky scrapers reaching high into the heavens. The glass windows shimmered with sunlight. Many people rushed past me saying various things that were just a murmur to my ears.
Thinking it would be conspicuous to walk around with a legendary pokemon, I had returned Zekrom to the poke ball. I was all alone in a blur of faces I didnt recognize. Being surrounded by so many people, yet I felt empty. There was only one person in the world I wanted to see. The sun couldnt warm my heart like N could.
Castelia City was said to be a place where anyone could pass you by. I scoured the crowd eagerly awaiting. Every once in while I would catch a glimpse of something green only to have it flash by leaving me disheartened. I would imagine him everywhere I looked but it was only wishful thinking.
By the end of the day, my hopes of finding N in Castelia City were gone. I wandered down the alleyway, checking my C-gear. I hadnt contacted my friends or family since I battled N in Team Plasmas castle.
I sighed heading towards the pier. Bianca and Cheren were probably waiting for me to tell them what had happened or wanting to battle. I didnt feel like talking to anyone about that and I didnt want to go back home.
They could wait, I thought. I couldnt wait for N, I needed him now.
I faced the wind at the waters edge. The pier was deserted, no one roamed the streets anymore. Night had fallen upon the city. I gazed into the waters surface rippling below me, just like before.
N had said we would be friends but when would I see him again, I wondered.
It was my first time in Castelia City. The sights were amazing to me. I had never seen a building touch the sky before. Tonight they were illuminated by a kaleidoscope of bright lights.
I had seen him just yesterday, how could I miss him already?
I found myself on a pier. A soft glow reflected upon the water. I looked down into the swirling depths that seemed to mirror my heart. It was overflowing with things Ive never felt before, a longing unknown to me. I heard footsteps coming closer behind me, I didnt turn around.
I was lost in thought, staring at the reflection of the moon, when I heard a familiar voice.
White. he said my name softly.
My heart skipped a beat. His teas green hair fell gently over my shoulder. A sweet sensation swept through me. My face broke into a blissful smile. I knew it was N, he didnt even have to say anything and I knew he was there.
What do you see?
I felt his hands cover my eyes, almost caressing my face. Id never been touched this way before.
I, I said in wonder, lost in the moment.
He tilted my head up, towards the sky. I hadnt bothered to really look at it, I had been too caught up in my thoughts.
Open your eyes, he said brushing away the tears that were beginning to slide down my cheek.
The stars glimmered together, all connecting in rhythm. Flickering in a dance. The moon shone above, covering us with a soothing light. It was beauty that I had never known. The sky was so open and free. I felt like I was flying, higher than the stars, looking above to something more.
Theres much more to the world than you think.
He held me as we watched the ever changing night, my head under his chin. Somehow it was natural, everything felt right to me.
Its beautiful, I said in awe, I was seeing things I had failed to see my entire life. Had my eyes been shut the whole time?
For everything to be together in harmonythats what I want the future to be, N said, his arms around me.
I would like to see that, I said grabbing his hand and smiling up at him, with you.
I noticed a Zorua perched on his hat. He always had his pokemon out of their poke balls. The little fox pokemon looked really happy. I could tell it loved him.
Rua! Rua!, the fury, black and red fox nudged him affectionately.
We stayed like that for a while into the night. It was as if we were the only ones in the world. It was as simple as this, being together. I felt changed in the most wonderful way.
If only I could have held onto that. Back when things were simple, the answers right in front of me. I glanced around but I already knew he wasnt going to be here tonight.
I had released Zekrom and its eyes were swimming with emotion, gazing into the distance.
You miss Reshiram too, I said knowing the answer.
Dont you, Zekrom?
Zekrom cried into the sky. A sorrowful sound of yearning.
We both searched the night sky. The stars were still there, glowing bright. Sure you could call it beautiful but
The sky isnt as beautiful without you around.
