This one is much longer than the others. Sorry about Chapters 2 and 3 being kind of boring. I'm basing it completely off of how I play the restarted game. Also, thanks sooo much for reviewing! I can't reply yet because I haven't had the account for 24 hours yet. Don't worry! I haven't forgotten about you!

Chapter 4

In the end, Touko won the contest, having a Patrat and Lillipup.

"For some reason I always get males," Touko said, as they kept walking. She had three Pokémon, while the others had two.

"And you give them weird names. Seriously, Pavit and Argos?" Touko puffed out her cheeks at Cheren's comment.

"Argos means vigilant guardian, and Pavit means purity. Pavity seems really innocent and pure and Argos seemed very protective of me. You are just upset that I can come up with such good names." She stuck her tongue out.

"I wouldn't call them good." She punched him, and she walked faster. They all went their separate ways after reaching Accumula Town. At some point, the other two had passed her up. Touko walked to the Pokémon Center. Professor Juniper was standing in front of the building.

"Let's go in!" Professor Juniper showed Touko inside after seeing her.

"Pokémon Centers are a Trainer's best friend. You can heal a Pokémon here for free! Go ahead and heal your Pokémon." Professor Juniper's happy attitude was contagious and Touko walked up the desk with a large machine behind it.

"Hello and welcome to the Pokémon Center. We restore your tired Pokémon to full health. Would you like to rest your Pokémon?" The pink-haired woman asked. Touko nodded shyly.

"Okay. I will take your Pokémon for a moment." The woman took Touko's Poké Balls and placed them gently in the machine. The machine began to glow and the woman turned to her.

"Is this your first time at a Pokémon Center?" She asked. Touko nodded.

"I am Nurse Joy, and this is my Audino." Nurse Joy gently patted the large pink Pokémon next to her. The machine behind her beeped and she pulled the Pokémon out of the machine.

"Your Pokémon have been restored to full health. Thank you for waiting." Nurse Joy smiled and Touko smiled back.

"Okay, next up is the Poké Mart. You can buy everything you need here. I'm going to head back to Nuvema town. Don't forget to talk to Fennel. We're close friends and she'll help you on your journey. Goodbye!" Professor Juniper left and Touko bought some Potions and Poké Balls.

She walked outside and noticed some people talking about something going on in the plaza. She walked there and saw many people with red hair in gray uniforms. There was a cloaked man walking back and forth on the raised part of the plaza. There were unfamiliar flags placed.

The man sent chills down her spine. He was tall with tea green hair and red, menacing eyes. She saw Cheren and ran to him. His dark eyes were narrowed and focused on the strange man. Then, the man spoke.

"My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk to you about Pokémon liberation." The crowd murmured and Touko felt uncomfortable. Ghetsis continued.

"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokémon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However… Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans… only assume that this is the truth? Pokémon are subject to the selfishs commands of Trainers… They get pushed around when they are our 'partners' at work… Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I'm saying?" Cheren felt Touko tensing up beside him. He glanced at her, and it looked like he would need to hold her back later on. He turned as Ghetsis kept talking.

"Now, ladies and gentleman, Pokémon are different from are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pokémon?" The crowd shuffled awkwardly.

"Liberation?" A hesitant person called out.

"That's right! We must liberate the Pokémon! Then, and only then, will humans and pokemon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon… and the correct way to proceed. We sincerely appreciate your attention." Ghetsis nodded to the crowd and the people in uniform packed up everything, and they were soon gone. The crowd dispersed, looking uneasy and confused.

A boy, not much older than Chereb and Touko walked over to them. He had tea green hair just like the man who had been speaking.

"Your Pokémon… Just now it was saying…" The boy's blue eyes bore into Touko, making her feel uncomfortable. She squirmed under his strong gaze.

"Slow down. You talk too fast and what's this about Pokémon… talking? that's an odd thing to say," Cheren said.

"Yes, they're talking. Oh. Then you two can't hear it either… How sad. My name is N," N said. Touko looked at him curiously, but said nothing.

"My name is Cheren and this is Touko. We were asked to complete the Pokédex and we just left on our journey. My main goal is to become the Champion though." Cheren said. N looked upset at this fact.

"The pokedex, eh? So… You're going to confine many, many pokemon in this process then… I'm a trainer, too, but I can't help wondering… Are Pokémon really happy that way?" N looked down at the girl below him. Touko resisted the urge to hit him.

"Why would they let us catch them then?" Touko asked.

"Hmm?"

"If they didn't want to be caught… If they didn't want to fight… Why they fight us then? Why would they let us catch them. The Pokémon who don't want to be caught aren't caught. That's how simple it is." N frowned at Touko.

"That's not… true," He said.

"Do you really know the truth of it? Or are you going on belief only?" She stared defiantly up into his eyes.

"Has it come to a fight based on truth and ideals?" N's eyes sparked with interest. Touko crossed her arms and looked up at him. The dislike was clear on her face. He shrugged.

"No need to be worked up about it. I'm only a foolish boy." N smiled. As far as you know anyways.

"You're the one who got her worked up in the first place…" Cheren sighed.

"Well, touko is it? Let me hear your Pokemon's voice again!" Touko knew N was challenging her to a battle.

"Fine. If only to prove that Pokémon are happy! Go, Argos!" She threw the Poké Ball for her Lillipup. She was going to make this guy sorry he said Pokémon weren't happy. She made sure her Pokémon were happy. She had seen Pokémon that were unhappy… She was never letting that happen to her again.

And... N has come! Sorry for the sort of cliffhanger... Also... not used to the whole "put in the horizontal line" thing... I always forget! I hope no one minds!
