Chapter 7: Wintown or Bust
White and N woke up in each other arms the next morning. They both blushed a deep red color as they got up heading out having seen a note from Lucas saying he had things to do as Champion of Sinnoh. White called out Reshiram to fly them both to Canalave City to get a boat down toward Fiore. It was a quiet flight from Twinleaf to Canalave since the two of them were just enjoying each others warmth this chilly morning. Once they landed in Canalave, White returned Reshiram looking at N saying with a smile, "Let's go get that ticket."
"Yeah," N responded as they walked over to the ticket booth beside the docks together. White paid for their tickets since she was pretty wealthy from being League Champion.
She handed N his ticket saying, "We have a couple hours before the boat leaves, want to look around?"
"Sure, White," N said with a smile taking White's hand as they walked through the open market Canalava had together. They bought food there and ate together talking about the past 5 years they had spent apart in more details. White couldn't believe that N had been training in the Dragon's Den with Silver and Lyra for most of the last 5 years. She was impressed before telling him about what all she did as Champion and the reasons why she retired.
N frowned as he heard about Cheren confessing to White asking, "So Cheren actually loves you?"
"Yeah apparently but it can't be real I mean I love you and You love me so it is probably more Cheren was in lust after me," White said with a shrug looking at him with a small smile, "It's not like I could love Cheren, I see him as a brother."
"Well I'm glad I have your love, White," N said feeling much better as he pulled White closer into his side at the picnic table they were sitting at.
White smiled leaning up kissing his cheek whispering, "Of course you do N, though we should be heading to the boat now."
N nodded standing up with White heading over to the ship. They handed the guard their tickets before getting on board. It was supposed to be a 3 hour ship ride to Summerland in Fiore so they stayed on the deck watching the water. N held White close to him as they watched water pokemon playing all around the ship. White pulled him closer to the railing pointing out into the water looking at him saying, "Oh look Staryu."
N looked to where White was pointing seeing a rock covered with several Staryu that had their gems glowing from the sunlight. He smiled looking at White beside him hugging her close into his chest holding her there without saying anything.
They stayed close pretty much the whole trip except for when they decided to call out Zoroark and Samurott. Them and their pokemon walked off the ship in Summerland wondering where to start.
"So any clue where your sister lived in Fiore?" White asked looking at N curiously as they walked through Summerland toward the Ranger Base there to meet up with Solana and Lunick.
"I have a hunch it would be near Fiore Temple in the Sakra Range," N said as he glanced at the map they picked up on their way off the ship, "That area doesn't seem to populated and knowing my father they would want to keep her away from people just as they did me to try to make her a good person to take over if I should fail..."
White frowned looking at him knowing N was probably right but the idea that his own father thought so little of him was a little disheartening. She shook it off as they continued walking replying, "Well that is a start at least."
"Yep it is," N said with a nod looking at her, "So we need to head to Wintown next. Let's hope Solana and Lunick are prepared to see us."
"Well we are about to find out," White said motioning to the Ranger Base ahead of them grabbing N's hand starting to run Zoroark and Samurott following them quickly to the Base.
N looked at the two of them saying, "Stay out here, we will be right back." He then headed inside with White.
White looked around then felt herself getting hugged quite rapidly as she quickly looked to in front of her seeing the familiar girl with a blue pig tail and a plusle on her shoulder.
"Solana stop being so hyper, it gives all of us rangers a bad name," a male voice was heard from behind the girl as he came up pulling Solana off White shaking his head his raven black hair was longer then White remembered it.
"Awwww but it's been so long since we've seen White, Lunick," Solana said with a frown then smiled looking at White then to N, "Oh you must be N, we heard you were coming with White."
N nodded looking at Solana and Lunick offering his hand out saying, "And you must be Solana and Lunick, the rangers we were supposed to meet."
"Yeah that is us," Lunick said taking N's hand shaking it not noticing the small cringe N did since he was still getting used to being touched by most humans. Lunick finished shaking his hand pulling away asking, "So do you know what part of Fiore you two need to start your search?"
"N thinks Sakra Range would be a good place to start," White said with a nod looking at the two of them, "So we need to get to Wintown?"
"Hmm the only way there is by submarine," Solana said thinking then her eyes went wide as she smiled, "Unless you use Professor Hastings teleportation system. It can get you to Wintown in a jiffy."
"You know that system isn't tested fully," Lunick said looking at Solana frowning now knowing she wasn't going to listen to him.
Solana smirked shaking her head saying, "Your such a worry wort, it will work fine. They are in a hurry anyway so the teleportation system seems like the best way." She grabbed White's and N's hands pulling them upstairs.
"Slow down Solana," White said as they were pulled up the stairs, "We need to get our pokemon from outside."
Lunick heard this opening the door motioning for Zoroark and Samurott to come in pointing up the stairs saying, "You better hurry before those two are sent to who knows where."
Zoroark nodded as him and Samurott run up the stairs after their trainers.
They all got on a big teleportation pad as Solana put on some goggles looking at them saying, "Professor Hasting based this technology on Psychic Pokemon ability to teleport them and whoever they want to where ever they want. It works fine, don't let what Lunick said worry you."
Solana went to the computer starting to push random buttons as the machine started to glow as she called out, "Wintown, party of 4."
With that she pushed the go button and a blinding light went off sending the 2 humans and the 2 pokemon off in a flash of light.
White and N felt like they were falling landing on hard stone. They opened their eyes seeing Zoroark and Samurott was there was well.
N sat up looking around noticing drawings on the walls of the stonework they were surrounded by before finally looking at White asking, "Where are we?"
White looked at him then around before saying, "Well I think that machine got us close at least."
"What do you mean?" N asked looking at White's face confused.
White looked back at him into his eyes fear filling her eyes before replying, "I think we are in Fiore Temple... the home of legends. It is said to be a resting place for all legendary pokemon."
"Why are you scared?" N asked grabbing White's shoulders looking into her eyes deeper trying to tell her that he would protect her if anything happened.
"Because this place is sealed, no one has ever been in the inner chambers like we seem to be now," White said simply as she looked back at N, "Who knows if we will be able to get out of here..."
N hugged White close quickly whispering in her ear, "We will I promise, we are the heros after all."
