I realize I've been hard on him. Maybe too harsh.. Eventhough he might not show it, I know he would break down eventually. And my gut feeling confirmed that. After the 'fight' we had, as you might call it that, we've been avoiding each other since. But tonight I just couldn't let him be the loner he always has been. It broke my heart to hear his silent sobs, trying to cover it up by pushing his soaked face into the pillow. Fists clechend and digged into the covers. Eventhough I was angry with him, I never intendetly wanted to hurt him. But with truth comes realisation, which more or less leads to pain. We've been trying to get some sleep that night, backs towards each other, to stubborn to face eachother after the harsh words we had spoken earlier. But as I knew, how skilled Red may be in hinding or supress his feelings, he'd reach his breaking point fairly quick. And so it happened tonight. I wanted to ignore it, not because I wanted him to suffer, but I wanted to make my point. If he wanted to be alone, so be it. But as stubborn and cruel I can be, I'm not heartless. So I had to help him.. Once more I gave in.

Green: [Sits on Red's bed, caressing his back] Red.. I would like to say, don't cry .. but I know that would sound rediculous.
Red: I'm .. S-sorry..
Green: What for?
Red: Disappointing you..
Green: Listen to me carefully when I say this ; Red, I love you. And I do care about you. I wish to help you, but you must let me in. I need you to talk to me. Tell me what's on your mind, and maybe you were right, and won't I be able to help you, but at least you can tell your story and get rid of those emotions.
Red: I'll try..
Green: You have to trust me, Red. Because I would give my life for you.
Red: [Nods]
Green: [Whipes off Red's tears with his thumb, smiles briefly]
Red: [presses his lips on Green's] Thank you. Even if you have no reason to help me.
Green: [Smiles, adverts his gaze, bites lip] I do. Plenty of reasons. And you are one of them.
Red: You want to help me because.. I'm me?
Green: Correct. You've got a complicated personality, but you're worth the effort.
Red: When did you become so.. caring?
Green: Ever since my dream got shattered and all I had to get back to, were the basics.
Red: I need to work on my social skills as well.. I yell at Leaf all the time, and I also scoffed at Brendan and May..
Green: I treatened to beat up a 14 year old kid on this boat because he fears boats.. [Smirks]
Red: Hmm. I guess we all have our flaws.
Green: Flaws are good. Gives us something to work on and talk about.
Red: And argue about.
Green: True.

hilda: hilbert, have you heard from N?
Black: Want to open up the wound once more, White?!
White: You aren't the only one who suffered from his departure. I miss his company as well..
Black: .. No, I haven't heard from N.
White: Well, I did. He told me something might be happening to Unova.
Black: And ofcourse no details, eh?
White: Always the same mysteries with that guy, you know him.
Black: So, what does he want us to do about it?
White: He wants us to keep out tourists..
Black: How the hell are we gonna succeed doing that?
White: We could inform Prof. Juniper. She knows when the Unova Sea Travel brings in new trainers.
Black: Okay..

Gold: I can't sleep.. Silver?
Silver: .. Gold, go to sleep. It's 5 in the morning..
Gold: I'm afraid, Silver..
Silver: [Sits up straight, rubs through his still sleepy eyes] Why's that?
Gold: I've been thinking about Red lately..
Silver: Red? Who's that?
Gold: I met him on Mt. Silver when I wanted to take on the League..
Silver: Why worry about him? Is he sick?
Gold: He's .. ill. But not the kind of ill when you need a good night's rest.
Silver: I don't think I quite understand..
Gold: He .. I can't explain. He's the kind of person you just have to worry about. Even if you don't know why. You just don't need a reason to, I guess..

May: Brendan, you up?
Brendan: Just waking up.. so, yeah.
May: Something's wrong. I can feel it..
Brendan: What do you mean? Is this a girl thing?
May: Something is about to happen. I just.. have a gut feeling.
Brendan: Are you having your period? Your stomach hurts?
May: You're still sleeping aren't you?
Brendan: [yawns] A little.. Sorry.
May: .. Our trip to Unova isn't going to go all that smoothly. I just know it.

Mr. Willinger: We have arrived at our destination, Unova. We'd like to welcome you to Castelia City!

Green: [Watches everybody on board go on the deck to look at the city]
We're here, Red. We're finally here..
Red: [Nods, gets a firm grip on his back pack]

Brendan: Wow; this town kinda reminds me of New York City..
May: Look at those buildings, they are huge!

Silver: You must be thrilled to get off this boat, aren't you?
Gold: I sure am!
Lyra: Hey, and guess what Gold, we're still alive !

Serena: [Hugs Calem] We made it!
Calem: [Kisses Serena's cheek] Sure did. Now we have find Nuvema Town!

Bianca: I'm sorry, but Prof. Juniper won't be back for quite some time. Can I be of any assistance?
Black: Bianca, do you know what time the Unova Sea Travel arrives in Castelia City?
Bianca: I should arrive any moment. Why do you ask? And why do you guys seem so upset?
White: We got word from N. He asked us to keep out as many tourists as possible.
Bianca: N? I thought he left Unova a while ago. Why does he make such requests?
Black: You need to trust us. When N senses danger, he's telling the truth.
Bianca: Well according to the hours on the Unova Sea Travel website, the 10am boat already arrived in Castelia City..
Black: Damn it!
White: Bianca, make sure no other boat from Unova Sea Travel leaves Unova.
Bianca: You guys, as much as I'd like to help you, I cant just shut down sea transportation!
Black: You have to!
Bianca: There's no way you can prove N's right. He was wrong about his theory on Pokemon in posession of trainers as well...
White: Bianca, please.. Trust him. We do ..

Red: Let's find our way to Nuvema Town. We can get our first Pokemon there.
Green: Hmm. Okay.
Red:We sure are far from home, now.
Green: We'll be alright. We're together, bud.
Red: .. [Takes Green's hand, rubs over his knuckles with his thumb]
Green: You're driving me crazy, kid.[Smiles]
Red: Eh?
Green: I haven't gotten some action in quite a while .. so, every touch you give me, sends my body on alert-mode.
Red: .. I turn you on? [blushes]
Green: [Nods]
Red: .. Eh. That's a good thing, right?
Green: Not really. You see.. It's hard to control myself whenever I get horny as fuck.. [Smirks]
Red: Hmm..
Green: Did I say something?
Red: No. haha.. I just don't really know how to handle situations concerning sex..
Green: I'll get you into that world, but on your pace.
Red: [Nods] Okay, Nuvema Town, here we come

May: Brendan, what way is the shortest to Nuvema Town?
Brendan: We have to pass 3 cities first. Nacrene City, Striaton City, Accumula Town and then we'll reach Nuvema Town. [Puts away map] We head East!
May: Okay!

Lyra: Let's make this interesting! The first to get to Nuvema Town, can choose his Pokemon first!
Gold: Sure!
Silver: I'm already on my way, kiddos! [starts running]

Rosa: I'll take the girls, you take the guys, kay?
Nate: Okay. Braviary, come out! I'll see in Nacrene city, Rosa! [flies off]
Rosa: [Waves, gets on Darmanitan's back] Off to Nacrene city, Darmaniatan!

Serena: Excuse me? What way to Nuvema Town?
man: The best way to go is east. You'll get to Nacrene city, which leads to Striaton City. Keep following the paths and you'll get to Nuvema Town eventually.
Calem: Great, thank you!

Lyra: Okay, so according to this sign I'm at Nacrene city..
Rosa: Eh? Hey! [Runs to Lyra] Did you get here by boat?
Lyra: I did. Why do you ask? Who are you?
Rosa: I'm Rosa, and this is Darmanitan. I'll be the one escorting the ladies to Nuvema Town. [Smiles]
Lyra: [Looks at Darmanitan] Wow! A Unova Pok mon! They look so diffrent from the Johto ones.. [gets up and looks at Rosa]
Okay. I'm Lyra, and I'm from Johto.
Rosa: Nice to meet you, Lyra. Are you here on your own?
Lyra: No, my friends are out here somewhere. We set off on a race, to see which one of us could make it to Nuvema first.
Rosa: Okay. Well, my friend Nate will guide the guys to Nuvema. So all we have to do is wait on the other girls.. How many are there?
Lyra: I think I saw two girls. A brunette and a blonde.
Rosa: All we have to do now is wait for them to come by.
