Not Alone
Once his eyes opened again, he saw a familiar setting.
He stood up fast and shouted. "No!" His voice echoed throughout the white room as pain echoed throughout his body. He stayed on his feet though.
"N! Sit down!" He heard Black's voice say.
He blinked in confusion. "Black? That's impossible..." He turned around, facing the direction he heard the voice come from.
"N, sit down." Black was sitting against one of the white walls with his arms crossed.
'How is Black here?' N thought, before cautiously sitting next to him.
"If you are wondering what happened, I've no idea so don't bother asking." Black said, looking rather irritable. Black closed his eyes and sighed.
N stared at his friend with a concerned look on his face.
Black sensed this and opened an eye to glare at N. His expression softened when N frowned. He opened both of his eyes and turned to face him. He gave a pained smile. "I'm fine."
"Are you lying?"
"...No." He said coldly.
N raised a quizzical eyebrow and Black cringed. "Move your arms then."
'Busted.' Black thought to himself and moved his arms slowly.
N's eyes widened. "You need to go back to the Pokecenter!"
Black sighed and moved his arms back over his chest to conceal the wound. "I wish I could. There's no way out of here from what I can tell."
"I've had just about enough of white rooms this month." N said, his hands balling up into fists and punching the wall beside him. The wall shifted some and N's eyes widened.
"What is it N?"
"The wall, it moved just now..." He touched it again and it shifted. "It's a door. But it must open into the room. There's no nob on this side either..." He tried pulling the door in but failed.
"It could be locked N." Black said softly, standing up but cringing and hugging his chest tighter.
"Sit down and rest, you shouldn't move too much with a wound like that." He said standing up and trying again.
"N... Just stop. Trying that over and over again isn't going to get us anywhere." Black said after he had been sitting for a while.
"What do you suggest we try then Black?" N said, looking rather fed up.
"Try sliding something thin, like a gift card, up the crack of the door to unlock it."
N sighed. "I don't have anything like that Black."
"I do, hang on." He closed one of his eyes and moved one of his arms to reach for his pocket. He pulled out a gift card to a Pokemart and handed it to N.
N took it quickly but gently and tried what his friend had suggested.
