Long ago there lived two seperate lives, one lived in fear and the other one forgotten. This is the story on how their two lives came together.

Parallels are prevalent in our world for example, darkness and light, good and evil, war and peace, happiness and sadness, etc. It seems that these parallelisms tend to be seen in the lens of black and white rather than one in gray. In this gray lens people who believe in different things could be brought together. I had wished that people and pokemon could live in harmony but I was taught differently.

The story that will unfold will show the bitter truth of mankind. I remember the harsh red that burned across our village, the smell of death tickled my nose. All I could do was stand in fear as everything I knew at a small age was taken away from me. I was taken in by many kinds of the orphanages no one wanted me, every human feared me until I met the man who would change my life. His long green hair reaching to his back caught me at first because I have not met that many people with hair like mine. Though it was his red piercing eyes that gleamed with something that seemed odd but I didn't think of it during the time.

There was someone who actually wanted me in their family. He told me his name was Ghetsis, that was what I was expected to call him. He took care of me and later adopted my two older sisters. One day he found out about my ability and at that moment all I could think of was he was going to send me back. I mean who would want a son with such a freak of an ability. However, instead of giving me away his mouth broke out in a grin. He told me that I could go play in the back yard with the pokemon that was on the property. I met so many friends in the yard and so many happy memories until next week. Red and rotten flesh pierced my nose when Ghetsis called me back in to see the new pokemon that he had told they brought in. I was too shocked to move as the poor zorua hung on for its life. Ghetsis had opened my eyes that there were a lot of people in the world that saw pokemon as mere tools and when proved weak they were thrown away like garbage. I stayed indoors in that room nursing that poor zorua back to health. The zorua did in fact live and later became one of my most trusted friends.

Though there were many days after where more injured pokemon came in, some of them didn't even make it into the next day. The problem in the world are the people, they don't deserve pokemon as companions and what compainians they were as they cried out in pain about being released from their suffering. That slowly shaped my life as more and more of my friends came into my life as they laid there. I’m older now and we finally have enough followers to help restore the balance in our damned world. I could hear the murmurs of the crowds as I walked down the aisle of my coronation day. My knights dressed in their white and gray uniform looked at me as if I were a god. There were splashes of red on my throne as I came closer to it. My bittersweet childhood memories flooded back to me as I was reaching the aisle. As I sat upon the pedestal the weight of the fate of every pokemon fell onto my shoulders. That day I became a savior, people fell to their feet when the coronation was complete. Darkness was then born.

In the farther side of the region there lived another young man.
I was always a quiet child in my family. I was a surprise baby to my mother in childbirth since my parents expected the birth of my sister only. My sister and I never really got along even when we were little. She was always given everything she asked for, because of this she slowly learned how to be greedy. I was always tossed aside by her and forgotten by everyone around me. She was very well loved by teachers and peers alike, she would put on her mask and pretend to care about everyone but in reality she possibly forgot about the person she had just had a conversation with. I had friends once but she never liked the idea of her creepy brother to have any friends. Et tu brutus. My own parents forget that I exist sometimes, they spend all their time taking care of my sister and she asks for a lot of attention. It’s okay though. I don’t like being in the spotlight.

There are times like on our 8th birthday when my parents have remembered me. This year dad got two pokemon eggs from one of his breeder friends. I was really excited because this is the first time I would make a friend in a long time. The egg sometimes chirped as something was going to hatch from the egg. I heard squealing coming from my sister downstairs. I went to check on her and she was holding a newly hatched gothita. She squirmed in my sister's grasp as she wanted to not be smothered to death. I went back upstairs to see if my egg had hatched yet but nothing yet. My sister brought her new friend everywhere she went. Day after day went by as my egg still hasn't hatched. I grew concerned because eggs do not take this long to hatch. I almost gave up hope until day eight. On that fateful morning I saw the egg cracking, I was jumping in excitement as I would meet my new friend soon. A black fluff popped up from the egg and it was a deino. The deino was trying to get the rest of the egg off of its body. I went and helped it of course. It was very small for a deino, but just because it was small doesn't mean that it isn't strong. As the deino noticed my scent it head butted me backwards, air left my lungs. I thought it was wanting to harm me but I felt it nuzzling me and chirping joyfully. I wanted to name my new friend but I didn’t know if the deino was a boy or girl. I collected it in my arms and brought her downstairs to see if my parents could tell me. When my mother saw the deino she gasped and gave me a small smile. The deino is a girl and I gave her the name Nyx.

Nyx and I did everything together. She was there for every laugh and tear. We grew up together there good times and bad times. Nyx is the best friend anyone could ask for. My sister and I are both eighteen now and are anticipating our first pokemon journey we will embark on. I went to the lab at a different time than everyone else. My sister and her friends emerged from the lab with their new friends. Thoughts swarmed my head as I entered the building. Negative thoughts flooded me. I felt a head butt and looked down at Nyx who gave me a big reassuring smile , as she was telling me everything will be okay. Bright light filled my vision as I entered the professor's room. Light was then born.

No pov:

The sun slowly kissed the horizon once more as it dwindled down to its deep slumber. Rose petals danced their beguiling waltz in the air. The sky,which was a fusillade of colors, was consumed by darkness. As time flew by, it hung the stars one by one ;initiating different patterns and arrangements. The pidoves that flew around during the daylight were entranced by a soothing slumber. Woobats flew into Nuvema town not bothered by the twinkling lights around the natives home's. Not a single native was outside embracing the painting for nature but rather they lingered in the comfort of their homes. However, coming from the lab there was one brave soul different than anyone else in this town. Her bun ensnared her caramel colored hair causing not a single piece to fall out. Her eyes we like the ocean calm yet fierce with power. The woman held her pride in a simple pearly white lab coat. Her body was enticing to both sexes, her business type clothes hung to every intoxicating spot on her body; squeezing the right curves. In her hands was a blue box tied with a green ribbon containing the fates of the new trainers in Nuvema.
------------------------------------------------------
Touya Pov:

The room was silent however anxiety was filled throughout the air because of me. I am very nervous on receiving my first pokemon. What if it rejects me? What if it cannot stand my smell? Will it ever realize that everyone else is better than me? My mind grew with more corrupted thoughts when suddenly it shattered. My sister's best friends Bianca and Cheren came into the room they tried to comfort me with their presence but do they actually care for my thoughts?
My sister came running into the room and broke the silence. Her cheerful personality clashed with the Atmosphere and Won against it. In her hands was a small blue box tied carefully with a green ribbon. My sister's tepig, John, scurried into the room as if there was more food for it. Bianca excitedly picks out the first pokemon. It was a snivy, his body was very lithe and it looked graceful as a prima ballerina in a performance. However his beauty was shattered with his sassy personality. Cheren chose a tepig likewise to my sister, however he seemed a lot calmer and serious,like Cheren himself. I was always last in everything when choosing was involved. I hesitantly grabbed the ball, and released the Pokemon's invisible chains from the inside. The cutest Pokemon emerged from the ball. She was a blue otter with a scallop on her chest, hanging like a badge. She was an oshawatt. Oshawatt however seemed very shy as she gave a "wott " under her breath as she wanted it to be hidden away.
The silence broke as tokuo said, " Hey we should all battle each other so they could grow stronger!" John gave an approval snort at the idea wanting to probably show it's worthiness to Touko. I scoped up Oshawatt tenderly in my arms as if she was a newborn baby.
Oshawatt at first was terrified and I was somewhat somber yet not surprised by her gesture, however once she sensed safety she cuddled into my arms. I felt a small spark of content. Was I finally gaining a friend? Will she not leave me even if I screw up? Can I finally prove to the world that I could be the best? My thoughts were finally snapped as my sister won against both Cheren and Bianca. My room however was not spared it looked liked war had broke out. There was law prints and scratch marks decorating the room. My sister looked at me with a smirk " It's our turn Touya ". John gave a prideful snort with a hint of fire flowing from his snout. Oshawatt jumped out of my arms and was ready for battle as she slapped her tail on the ground. The air grew tense as both of our pokemon took on their stances to fight. "John use ember" my sister said as flames came out of John's nose. "O-Oshawatt please d-dodge it then u-use w-water gun." I said as Oshawatt dodges then water spits out of her mouth causing John's coat to become wet and tired him as he took the damage. "John use tackle. " My sister said still lingering on that hope that was present around her. Oshawatt took damage as John slammed into her. At that moment I froze. "oshawatt p-please use w-water gun again s-so w-we can f-finish it." I said with a sad tone. Oshawatt brushed off John's move and used the attack again. My sister frowned as tepig fainted. I felt a small amount of pride yet I felt guilty as the pokemon were hurt. I looked down at Oshawatt who was in my arms once more shying away from the others praises. She really was a beautiful pokemon. "Oshawatt is i-it o-okay if I n-named you Delilah?" I asked with slight embarrassment. Oshawatt chirped in happiness as she acquired a name. It was going to be me and Delilah from now on. Nothing can separate us.

Chapter 3 star crossed

Slowly the sky was being dyed with black ink the colors that had once been painted was tainted. One by one stars were hung alone and in peculiar patterns that illuminated the sky. The moon, herself , was dancing in her white bright lace. Kissing the dark sky like a new bride kissing her husband on her wedding day. Though the night sky was peaceful the little town was boisterous due to three teenagers heading towards the professor Juniper’s lab. However one of them was a silent young boy. He looked to be sixteen with chestnut brown hair that contradicted his personality. His eyes were a hazel brown that looked like a forest. In his arms laid an oshawott who looked content.
They had opened the door to the lab and their new adventure awaited them.
————————————————
The professor had let them all in and of course Touya was the final person to walk in. The professor had started a small talk of sort with him and the others. However, he blocked her out of his hearing because he was distracted by the flummoxed atmosphere that was being presented. The atmosphere in the lab that Touya noted was amorous, there was not a single area in which it was somber. In his arms, Delilah was astir and was curious to see around the lab. Which seemed very odd to Touya. Maybe she was excited to be home once more? I had felt something soft and fluffy rubbing against his leg. He looked down and saw a Pokémon with pearl white fur. It was a minccino possibly the professor's. It looked up to him with a wide smile as it murmured to him as if it was content. It's brown eyes warmed up his soul. He looked at it as a mother to her child. Maybe this lab was a safe haven. The professor had saw what Touya was doing and she started to smile small. Her eyes said he will do great things one day. "It seems my pokemon has taken a liking towards you Touya." The professor said with roguish pouring from her mouth. The others turned to him silently with amuse and curiosity. Touya at that moment became scarlet as his embarrassment flooded his face. He had tried to hide against Delilah's fur but even she was amused. After things little exchange everything went back to the way it was. Juniper had explained to them about the experiences of the journey and she had also given them a Pokédex for her data research on Pokémon . All of them walked back outside into the cool night so silent that even the evening dew that drips could be heard. Touya and Touko mother had all approached the teens. She had looked so proud at all of them however she for some odd reason would not look at Touya. This is normal for him though. Touko required more attention than he did so he had never gotten it as a young child. He saw as the woman had given each of them a town map of Unova in which she forgot about him. He had never received one from her lukewarm hands. He would have to purchase one in Accumula town. The others had left him to be in his own world as he became aloof. His supposed friends proceeded to route one forgetting about him. All but one. Delilah saw that her trainer was in a gloomy like mood and she comforted him like a real mother. She used her tiny paws to wipe away his tears. So he grabbed onto his tiny courage that he had and went into route 1. The others were nowhere in sight.
The route was much bigger than people explained how it is. There was fields of tall dark like, grass waving in the wind as a boat is stuck on the ocean at nighttime. The war cry of Pokémon wanting to fight was heard everywhere he walked. Though he brought Delilah closer to his chest , she started moving around and was wanting to fight them. Suddenly a wild lilipup appeared baring it’s tiny fangs growling, though it was a small and cute its eyes held mad bloodlust. Delilah seemed pleased and jumped out of his arms, taking shielding Touya as a knight bulwarking his princess. Touya saw that she wanted to prove to him that she was stronger at that moment so he said “Delilah use water gun.” She sprayed a gargantuan amount of water towards the dog like Pokémon. It was a K.O. hit. The lilipup had fainted on the spot. Touya eyes had finally realized that Delilah wanted to fight. So, he had cheered for Delilah when she would go against other Pokémon on route one. Progressing through obstacles of wild lilipups and patrats, the dynamic duo had finally saw the outline of Accumula town.

The town was small but definitely bigger than Nuvema town. In the entrance there was a scarlet glow from the Pokémon center, welcoming every person and Pokémon with open arms. Touya with Delilah ,who was in his arms once more, walked inside asking the nurse to restore the otters health back as it had a few scratches on its small body. The nurse took the Pokémon and had healed her back to normal. She came out looking healthy and was wanting to be embraced in her trainers arms once more. Touya had giggled at Delilah’s persistence and he carried her once more. She was holding onto him and nuzzled his cheek for affection. He felt very calm around her as he knew her for his whole life. He noticed that there was a sale for poke balls so he had bought five with him to start. As he walked outside he noticed his sister and her friends around a crowd of people. He got nervous. He did not like crowds it messed with his mind. He started breathing heavily as he felt a pressure in his heart as if something was crawling inside his chest. He tried counting to three but not even this was working. Delilah had calmed him down however by hugging his arm and licking his cheek. He took it easily and went towards the large crowd. His sisters and her group had not noticed him. However he stood in the back. There was a group of people giving some odd speech. They were dressed in all white like the knights of the old, they had prideful expressions on their faces. They walked into two lines holding banners in the ground with a giant blue P. There was a pause between their marching and one of them had moved out of the way for a man in a really large unstylish coat. Who in the world were these strange people. The man in the robe with green hair spoke like something Touya had never heard before. His voice boomed like thunder durning a severe storm. His red eyes pierced the crowd as if slowly killing each one of them with knives. However his words made Touya feel something that he had never felt before.

Anger.
Touya wanted to punch this man. How dare he exclaim that Pokémon should be separated from people. He did not want his first friend taken away from him. But the question still lingered in his mind.

Are we really making them suffer?

He hugged Delilah into his arms more as this foul man spoke. He did not know what to do. Will she truly be happy if he left her? However he looked down to her and she was angry at that man. As the speech was concluded Touya saw his sister and her friends walking away with foul moods. He could not blame them. Delilah was chatting away to him pissed off.

“Your Pokémon... Now it was just saying...”
A voice had pierced into the air as a flash of green had approached him. There was the most beautiful man Touya had seen. He was young man his age with long green wild hair however it was beautiful, his eyes were a deep blue as if Touya was staring into the ocean but it held curiosity , though he was dressed in casual clothes he had an air of nobility around him. Touya had turned away with read staining his face. Delilah however was not happy with this new person. She chatted something and that man looked shocked as if he was cursed out. “I did not expect this Pokémon to have vivid language.” He exclaimed . “Ahh so c-can you r-really hear t-them?” Touya stutters as his cheeks are not changing back. The beautiful man had looked sad at that moment. “Oh so you cannot hear them how sad. May I challenge you to a battle to hear her voice.” Touya looked at him with determination and nodded. The greenett had sent out a purloin and Touya had used Delilah. “Delilah u-use water gun!” Touya said knowing he had full faith in his partner . “Purloin please use scratch.” The teen said. The purloin was fast however Delilah’s water hit the purloin first. It fainted after two hits from her water gun attacks. Delilah had cheered as she once again proved herself to her trainer. Touya had giggled and grabbed Delilah then spun her in a circle. A rush of proudness had touched his feelings. “That was a g-good battle. Your purloin was so cool. My name is T-touya by the way.” Touya said with a red face once again to the other man with a proud Delilah in his hands. The other man looked to him and gave a small smile. “My name is N dear Touya and though I have to leave we will meet again.” N said as he patted the brunettes head walking away.
Touya just say there as a deer in headlights frozen with a red face. Oh my lands is he crushing on a guy he just met?

N pov:
Team plasma was told to go into the city of Accumula and as their king I were to give them my support in the crowd. I walked down the path of route 2 to reach my destination when I noticed a Purrloin. He was in a horrid state so I rushed to his side and aided him back to health. This is why Pokémon trainers are the scum of this world. They do not realize that slowly they are killing their precious Pokémon one by one. I talked to the purlion to see what had happened to it. Apparently it’s trainer abandoned him because he was weak. I asked him if he would like to travel with me for a while. It of course said yes. It did not want to be alone anymore. So the Purrloin raced up my arm and sat on it. I was then onto my journey of support. When I had seen Accumula town I did not expect it to be beautiful. After growing up in the backyard of the castle and not seeing anything of the outside world this city had fascinated me. I saw my team stand in front of the center as crowds gathered around. There were a good amount of people. There was one group that seemed to annoy me and that was a group with two girls and one guy. One of the girls was a shy yet quirky blond who had a snobbish snivy. The boy with glasses had black hair and looked to be serious however he had an air of arrogance around him as if was going to be important one day with him was a serious tepig. Lastly their leader was a brunette with long hair and a attitude with her was a tepig who looked bigger than normal tepig. There was one boy who caught my attention he was on the other side of the group he seemed different. His hair was the same color as the brunette but it seemed more appealing like warm coco being spread, his eyes were a rich hazel brown that held warmth but under the surface it held melancholy. Why did this beautiful being have heavy sadness? In his arms cradled like a babe was an Oshawatt. He was giving her praise and affection that he had never seen a trainer do before. She started to tell him that she loved him and that he was her best friend. However my thoughts were broken as my father started to speak. He hates it when I call him that. He spoke the truth however most people in the crowd shunned it. These are stupid blind fools. I peeked over to see the face of the boy. Odd he seemed upset of what father was saying. But not only was the boy mad but also the Oshawatt who told Ghetsis to piss off and stop spreading bullshit. Wow that little otter had a foul mouth. After the speech many people went away either concerned or angry. The group of teenagers seemed to walk away pissed off. However the beautiful boy he saw seemed to be contemplating though his Oshawatt was cussing out a storm at all the things Ghetsis said. So with my curiosity I went to speak with that beautiful boy. I approached him and said
“Your Pokémon... Now it was just saying...” he turned around confused those angel like eyes pierced my soul he’s to pure. His Oshawatt did not look happy. The beautiful boy turned away scarlet staining his cheeks making himself look more pure. “Oí bastard stop hitting on my trainer asswipe.” Oshawatt said with a sharp tongue. Pink dusted my cheeks a little bit. I then say to the boy “I did not expect this Pokémon to have vivid language.” He looked up again at me embarrassed and said with a stutter “Ahh so c-can you r-really hear t-them?” I frowned ah so he cannot hear his Pokémon how sad.
“Oh so you cannot hear them how sad. May I challenge you to a battle to hear her voice.” I ask him. His face became cloaked with assurance as a soldier in the battlefield. He sent out his Oshawatt Delilah and I send out my purloin he looked ready to fight. The Oshawatt then followed the trainers orders and K.O. my purloin in two hits. He face seemed to brighten up with joy and spun his Oshawatt around with glee. I smiled. His voice once again broke my thoughts “That was a g-good battle. Your purloin was so cool. My name is T-touya by the way.” Touya said with a red face. I look at him with a small smile and said “My name is N dear Touya and though I have to leave we will meet again.” I walked away from Touya. Many thoughts rush trough my head as I walk away What is this feeling I am feeling? I have never had this connection with another human before? Why is he so pulchritudinous?

Touya and 3 person pov:
Touya had gotten out of his shocked state when he realized that Delilah was moving around in his arms once again, telling him to move. He sighed and walked the path way that would take him to the next town. However, what he did not realize that there was a yearning in him for wanting to see the greenette again. He walked onto Route 2 the area was still ominous as the black sky lit up most of the area. However, there was a pathway with the moonlight as if she was guiding him on where he were to travel to. The grass seemed to form a blackish green ocean as it moves tough the wind only to wonder what lives in it. Many people however chose not to walk in the dark night due to fear. Though Touya never knew why but he was never afraid of the darkness. He embraced it as a child embraces their guardian. It brought that sense of peace and security that his own family could not provide. It was an escape place from the rest of the horrible world. Many thoughts would run through his mind as he was at peace “Why am I here?” , “What is my purpose?” , “Why am I alone?”, “Why is it that my sister is loved and normal yet I am here the unwanted twin?”, “Why am I such a failure?”, “Why doesn’t anyone love me?”. As Touya was contemplating on all these things Delilah plucked his sleeve and looked at him with her big blue eyes filled with concern. He looked at her and smiled. He held her closer as a few tears rolled down his cheeks as she nuzzled into his chest. She was the only one who loved him and that’s all he needed. He then started to walk again toward the tall grass unafraid knowing that Delilah will protect him. They went and crushed any wild Pokémon that were trying to attack them. As they were nearing the end way to route 2 a few woobat flew into the sky chirping as they were just as pleased with the night. Striaton City was not as boisterous as it was in the day however there were pretty luminescence lamps that kissed the grounds with its rays of light. Touya noticed his companion and only friend asleep in his arms so, he decided that he needed to rest up from such an eventful night so he was going to get a room in the Pokémon center. As he walked into the main room he heard cheerful laughing of voices. ‘Who would still be up this late?’ he thought. It was his sister and her two friends again they all seemed jubilant about some thing. He walked away, trying his hardest to block out to screeching that they made. He was kind of curious to see what they were talking about though. So he stopped and got a little closer without them noticing, not like they ever notice him anyway. He heard the slander as it lashed onto his ears as a viper causing him to be paralyzed on the spot. What flowed out of their mouths was like a twisted melody. They were talking about him. But not good things it was never good things. Touko told her group of friends that one of the main reasons their dad left them was because of Touya. He froze right on the spot like a deer in headlights. His sweat poured down his face like a waterfall. He was shaking like a young animal in the cold. Thoughts went through his head. ‘I am a freak of a child that is why father abandoned us. I’m such a freak with so many issues. Maybe he was just tired of having some mental son. ..Why am I like this? ...Why am I not loved? ....Why am I forgotten?’ His tears followed down his face like an uncontrollable waterfall, his hands grew colder and clam. He felt his somber aura choking itself around his neck trying to suck all of his hope from him or what’s left of it. The aura of the bright room could not even pierce the barrier of his depression. He then ran away from that damned place. He had nowhere to go so he ran and ran until he saw a park on the outskirts of town. It was a small yet beautiful park. There was surrounding rivers that flowed beneath many bridges. The water was clear and the moons rays caressed it causing it to shimmer. There were few Pokémon out here but they did not seem to be offended by his presence. The park had a bench on the far corner it was a cute little wooden thing. The park gave an aura of tranquility. It’s aura seemed to slowly unwrap him from his own. His mind started to clear once again as the peacefulness of the area influenced him. He went and sat on the bench Delilah still sound asleep in his arms yet she was cold so he brought out one of his travel blankets and wrapped it around her. He chuckled because she looked like she was in a burrito. He then looked up in the sky and looked at the stars. He doesn’t know why but the balls made of fire always gave him peaceful thoughts. As he sat there enchanted by the stars beauty he did not realize that there was another presence near him. There behind him was that tall greenette man that called himself N. N looked at Touya and watched him as his cheeks were stained red with tears he thought to himself ‘Why was he crying?’ and for some odd reason N decided to go greet Touya once again to make his presence known. “Good evening Touya. Why are you out alone? May I join you dear?”

Touya Pov:
I sat there with Delilah in my lap, entranced by the different seducers in the sky each one of them breaking the darkness of the night sky. They all cradled me like a new babe with their warmth and compassion. Then a soft voice broke the silence if the night. “Good evening Touya. Why are you out alone? May I join you dear?” I turn around to see N. His beautiful ocean eyes are filled with sympathy and concern as he gazed upon me. My face then started to burn a bright scarlet. ‘How long was he there?’ ‘Oh gosh did he see me cry?’ Then I snapped out of my thoughts and was one again met with his beautiful face. “ A-ah yes you c-can join m-me.” I said to him. He gave me a smile and took a seat right next to me. “The night sky is filled with untold mysteries of the old.” He said as his ocean blue eyes twinkled like one of the stars in the sky. We both sat there in silence. The sky had us both mystified by its seductive dance through the passing of stars and planets. I shivered because the air was growing cooler. N noticed this and pulled me into his side drawing warmth from the both of us. My face turned scarlet. “Are you alright?” he asked me getting a little closer to my face. “Your not running a fever are you?” My face grew hotter. “Ah n-no I’m fine.” I said pulling back a little still flustered. “You know one of my favorite things to do is look into the night sky and think of all of my dreams for my life and for Pokémon all alike.” He said still near me at my side. “Do you have a dream Touya?” He asked me with curiousness dipped in his voice. “Ah y-yes I do. I want t-to help Pokémon. They are like a second f-family to me. So I w-want to become a s-specialist for them.” I say still with a red face and a small smile. N gave me a curious and small smile and said to me “That is a great dream my dear. I believe you can accomplish it.” His arm around me pulled me and Delilah ,who is still asleep on my lap, closer. We just sat there once again in silence. My eye lids started to flutter until I saw N no longer.

“ Maybe I, I can never fly”- BTS AWAKE 

———————————————-

3 person Point of view 

————————————————

The sun kissed the two boys faces gently to awake them from their peaceful slumber. One was not affected by her presence yet the green haired one awoke. He proceeded to move the younger male off of his body. The other male still laid peaceful like a corpse, not stirring up in from his slumber. Before the green hair male parted away from the smaller male he proceeded to kiss his forehead.  And at that the farewell was yet one sided. The sun still stood their trying to wake up the smaller male yet there he still laid in silence.

Touya POV: 

————————————————

There was a feeling of moment on top of me. I opened my eyes to see Delilah chirp in happiness as I had woken up from my slumber. I realized that N was no where to be found. ‘I was all alone again’. ‘No I am not’ I told myself ‘I have Delilah’. I smiled down at her precious face. She then proceeded to rub her cheek on mine giving me the motherly love I had not obtained. I then remembered that there is a gym in this town that I should go beat to become stronger not only for me but also for Delilah. I lifted her into my arms and walked to the plaza and noticed that the gym was a cafe. I walked into the cafe asking for a battle. Out of nowhere three handsome men greeted me. One was very cheery and he had green hair and green eyes that reminded me of the forest. The second one was very fiery and had red hair and red eyes like the cooler part of fire. The last one was very calm and collected yet nice and had blue hair and blue eyes like the deeper part of the ocean. “Hello young sir how may we help you today?” the blue one said with a small smile. “I-I am w-wanting to c-challenge this-s gym. C-could I p-please?” I say shyly looking away from their gazes. “ Hell yeah you can!” The red head said with joy. “Well it looks like you will be fighting me since your starter is water.~” the green haired exclaimed somewhat flirtatiously. “I’m Cilan, the redhead is Chili, and the blue haired one is Cress. We are triplets!~” he said with pride. “Ok so you can follow me as I will take you to the battling ground.” He said as we walked to the battle platform. “Are you ready?~” he asked me with excitement. “ Yes!” I exclaimed. “Go pansage!~” he called out his Pokémon. Out of the bright light came out a green monkey. Hmm so it’s a grass type which is super effective to water. However I have my full trust in Delilah that we can beat this man! “G-go Delilah!” I exclaimed. Delilah jumped from my arms and was ready to battle. “Pansage use vine whip!” “Delilah dodge.” I say just in time as vine like whips came from the monkey. “Grab one of the vines and through him across the room Delilah.” I say as she proceeded to chunk  the monkey across the platform causing it to lose most of its health. “Pansage vine whip agian” he said as the monkey proceeded Delilah.  Delilah cried out as she took damage she was breathing a little hard. Oh crap what do I do I say in my head. “Pansage let’s finish this another vine whip.” The monkey came in full of gourde and almost hit Delilah. Delilah dodged in time, however white light surrounded her as her shape was changing. Delilah is evolving. “ Woot!” She cried out as she now had another scallop to her waist. “Delilah use fury cutter!” I exclaimed as her shells glowed green changing into swords. Delilah rushed into the Pansage with full force and used the move on it causing it to faint. We won! I was so happy. I picked up Delilah’s new form and spun her in excitement. We had received the badge and now it’s time to head out to the next town. On the way out of the gym I saw my sister and her friends approach my way. I then grabbed Delilah and passed her without looking back. On the way to the next town I was interrupted as a woman came up to me with a scientist outfit and glasses with long black hair. “Oh you have beaten the gym! Could you help me with my research?” She exclaimed with joy and hyper ness. “Oh I’m Dr. Fennal !” She said with enthusiasm. She had told me that she needed dream mist from the dream yard from a munna. I headed in that doc reaction she pointed and found myself in front of an abandoned and broken building. “Munna~” I hear as I see a bright pink Pokémon with flowers on its body. As I approached it out of nowhere team plasma came out and want it to give them the dream mist yet the munna was set on no. So I went in between both of the members to protect the munna. Delilah had then beaten both of the members patrat. The two members then fled as they did not know what to do since they had lost. The munna looked happy. “A-are you o-okay?” I ask the munna as I put him in my lap to check for injuries. “Munn~” He said as he nuzzled me. “W-would y-you like to c-come with me?” I ask him. “Munn!” It exclaimed as it was wanting to go with me. “O-okay! I’ll n-name y-you Arien!” Arien chirped as he like his new name. Looks like I have gotten another friend.

Touya’s POV:
Like Delilah I felt bad for putting Arien in his poke ball so he floated next to me as we continued to head back to the lab. Dr. Fennel ran up to me wanting me to hand her the dream mist. I set Delilah down so she could be comfortable and I took the item from bag and handed to her. I looked back up at her and she was cooing and cuddling Arien. Arien loves the attention he was getting at the odd and quirky scientist. She was hugging him for a few minutes until she remembered about the dream mist. She let Arien go and took the item from my hand. I however, did not expect to receive anything from her until she gave me something called a c-gear. I looked at her with a bright smile thanking her for the gift that she did not need to give me.
I scooped up Delilah back into my arms and Arien followed behind as we left the lab. There was a few trainers who wanted to battle, Delilah and Arien knocked out their Pokémon quickly. We slowly left route 3 and heading into Nacrene City where the next gym was. The city was a large yet small city. The pale marble of the museum glistens, tempting trainers to indulge in its secrets. The houses were apartment like and there was a small cafe, not as grand as the one in Striaton.
My stomach growled which caused a chain reaction to my Pokémon as their stomachs growled. Delilah looked up at me as we stopped in front of the cafe. “ A-are y-you two h-hungry?” I asked my Pokémon. They both chirped with enthusiasm. I sat with them giving them Poké food as I indulged with my sandwich. They looked very pleased as they engulfed their food down like an ekans.
After we finished and paid, we left to explore the forest. There was a nurse in the front of the forest entrance. “ Hello dear! This forest is known for having Pokémon falling into may issues such as sleep, burns, and paralysis. If you beat me in a battle I will heal your Pokémon for free.” She told me with a kind voice. “O-ok” I exclaim. “Go Audino!” “Audi no!” The Pokémon exclaimed with the same amount of joy like its trainer. “G-go A-arien.” “Munn~”. “Audino use quick attack.” Audino came charging at Arien with a quick speed as it tries to aim for Arien. “A-Arien dodge and u-use c-c-confusion!” “Munn” Ariens eyes glowed purple as it used it psychic energy. The Audino became confused durning this attack. “ Arien f
-finish Audino w-with psybeam!” “Munn.” A Multi colored beam of light shot out of Arien’s head. The Audino fainted. “ aw man, well a promise is a promise! Let me heal your Pokémon for you for having that extent battle with me!” Nurse Joy said as she put her Audino back into its pokeball.
After Arien was healed up nurse joy and I parted ways. As I entered the forest I herd a voice exclaim. “ Hey you cannot be here!” I look to see at least twelve members of team plasma. The team were nothing but liars and cowards who seemed to like to hurt Pokémon more than to help them. There was so many of them I don’t think I was strong enough to properly challenge them yet. Delilah and Arien growled at them, not welcoming their presence. “I-I’m sorry!” I exclaim as I ran out of the forest with Delilah cradled in my arms and Arien floating behind me. “T-that was kinda s-scary!” I said in between pants.
After that encounter I decided that it was finally time to enter the gym and challenge it. As I walked towards the marble building I was not focusing at where I was walking. I fell back and realized that I bumped into someone. I look up to see a hand “ Well my dear Touya are you alright?” The voice of N asked me as he looked at me with a small smile plastered on his face. My face went red as a tomato as Delilah looked at me and grinned. I took his awaiting hand, “ Y-yes I’m quite a-alright!” I say. He seems to notice Arien as he glances at the pink Pokémon direction. “ Is that a new Pokémon you caught?” He asked me petting Ariens face. “ U-um yeah! T-this is A-Arien. I s-saves him from T-team plasma who was beating h-him.” He looked down and the air became a little tense. “Is that so?” “But h-he’s ok n-now! H-he’s with me.” I say in a tone that will hopefully clear up this atmosphere. “You are correct” he said to me. N looked at me after he petted Arien. “ How about a battle Touya. I want to hear the voices of your Pokémon once more.”

Touya pov:

I nodded as I looked at N’s face. His hand reached into his pocket as his first Pokémon came out. It was a timbur, however he would be no match for Arien . “A-Arien I chose y-you.” “Muunn!” Arien declared with enthusiasm as he floated from my side over to duel. The intensity of the atmosphere sparked my an inner being I had not known unless in battle. My heart raced as the anticipation of the battle was about to begin.
“Timbur use force palm.” N declared. The rodent Pokémon started running towards Arien, it raised heavy log as it approached nearer. “A-Arien use confusion.” I stuttered. Arien glowed a pinkish color and a steam of psychic energy hit the timbur. Timbur fell from an intense blow. The Timbur has gotten up from the ground, however it was confused. This was the moment I had. “Arien h-hit Timbur again with confusion.” The Timbur could not handle the damage from the attack and it fainted. N looked shocked at how fast his partner went down, though he gave a grin and picked up his Pokémon.
“Thank you friend for giving it all.” He cooed at the now woken Timbur. “We are just getting started my dear Touya, come on out Tympole.” A small tympole came out of its pokeball cheering it’s greeting as it was set into battle. “Tympole use supersonic.” The Tympole has sent my poor Arien into confusion but I won’t stop now I have to win. “A-Arien you can d-do t-this use psybeam.” Though Arien was still in confusion he used all the strength he had and hit Tympole almost knocking it out. “Tympole use water gun.” The Tympole lifted its head and sprayed a beam of water hitting Arien. It did damage but Arien can pull through and finish this fight. I noticed a change in his eyes as he snapped out of his confusion. “A-Arien u-use psywave.” A wave of psychic energy stream towards the Tympole knocking it out.
“Good job friend you fought well.” N said as he was petting the Tympole. “Touya we are almost done.” He said to me in a calm voice. “Pidove please aid me friend.” N said as he brought forth a pidove. The pigeon like Pokémon fluttered his wings as he made himself known. I glanced towards Arien, the poor thing needs a break so I send in Delilah. “A-Arien please rest y-you did a-amazing. D-Delilah I chose y-you!” I exclaimed as Delilah ran from my side to fight. “Woot!” She exclaimed with a battle cry. “Pidove use gust.” The Pidove started to form a small gust of wind from its wings. “D-Delilah use a-aquajet.” Delilah created a wave of water surrounding her body as she went full speed hit Pidove. The poor bird was thrown to the other side of the ground. It got up once more however it noticed the dampness in its wings. It had a hard time trying to fly so I knew this was the moment to end the battle. “Delilah u-use watergun. “ A stream of water burst from Delilah’s mouth as she even further soaked the poor bird. The Pidove was knocked out in the process. I was so happy that my Pokémon won.
“Thank you friend now please take a rest you deserve it.” N said as he returned Pidove to its pokeball. “You have once again beaten me my dear. “ N purred as he approaches me. My face heats up as I realize what had happed throughout the battle. I cradle Delilah in my arms and hide away in embarrassment. Was that really me in battle? N poked my shoulders and I grabbed his hands becoming even redder than before. “You are so precious my dear. Though I must depart now. Goodbye Touya May we cross paths soon.” He said as he kissed my forehead gently. Oh Arceus I’m screwed.

Touya pov:
My mind was creating thoughts that caused me linger still outside of the gym. I was not in focus as I still remembered N’s lips on my forehead. I stood there for what felt like an eternity until I felt a force against my cheek.“Woot! Dew woot” Delilah slapped me then proceeded to scold me trying to get my head back in focus. I blush bright red as I forgot that I was here for the gym leader. I entered the marble museum with Arien following me floating with glee.

The inside of the museum was gorgeous. Marble walls glittered white every step that I took. There was many artifacts of the ancient world displayed. Right in the center seems to be a large Dragonite fossil. In front of it was a scientist looking at it with awe and adoration. The scientist turned around and saw me. “Oh hello! Are you here for the gym challenge? The gym leader is my wife! But before you head on back to the gym let me give you a tour of the museum!” He then proceeded to grab my arm and show me around the museum before I could even respond. Delilah and Arien chucked away they followed us. “Over here we have an old meteorite that is claimed to change the form of Deoxys. This is just an unimportant stone that we found in the Castle of relic.” I stared at the beautiful white stone. The white seemed to shine as I moved. Delilah and Arien looked at the stone with awe and fear. That was odd. I also felt an odd connection towards the stone, it seemed it was calling out to me. But was was it? I was snapped out of my thoughts as I was led to a staircase. He pats my back and says, “ Good luck earning your gym badge!” . I give him a soft smile, “ t-thank you!” . Delilah then proceeds to jump back into my arms to carry her. I turn to face the staircase and I sigh as I make my way up the stairs. Delilah gives me a nod of encouragement giving me a look that says ‘we can do this!’. Arien also gives a cry of confidence to show that we can beat this gym. I nodded to both of them then I make my way inside the room.

The room was a ginormous library that seemed to be over flooded with books. Clyde stood by one of the statues in the front right corner. He spotted me and started to walk towards me. “Hello trainer welcome to Nacrene’s gym. The gym leader Lenora specializes in normal type Pokémon so Pokémon with fighting type attacks are super effective. Here take this off my hands.” He then proceeded to hand me a water bottle. As I started to walk I noticed that in the entrance there was the first trainer that I had to battle. He noticed me and brought out a patrat. I sent out Delilah and she knocked out patrat with one hit. He gave us the first hint where the first book was to be found. My team and I walked towards the first bookshelf on the right. The book was called "Nice to Meet You, Pokémon!". In the book was a memo which told us to find the book that had information on the first Pokémon we fought in the gym. It said to look in the middle section of the bookshelves. I went to the far right bookshelf and found a book called The Biology of Patrat. The book has information on Patrat and there was another memo, which mentions a pokémon that has a fire inside and blows smoke when it moves. The note says to find a book about that pokémon, but it says that someone is reading that book right now. I head towards the back of the bookshelf and I see a older woman engaged in reading her book. “U-um
excuse m-me miss b-but um could y-you h-help me finding this b-book with t-the description of t-the Pokémon of f-fire in its b-body a-and smoke w-when it moves?” She gives me a smile. “Ah I’m reading the book on the Pokémon Tepig I think this is the book you are looking for. However to obtain the book you have to fight. Go herdier!” A larger dog than lilipup comes out of the ball and gave out a mighty bark. “D-Delilah I c-chose you!” I exclaim as Delilah rushed into battle with her own cry. The battle ended quickly with Delilah knocking out the Pokémon in one hit. The woman smiled at me and handed me the book she was reading. In the front cover was another memo. It asks what type of food can be cooked in a pot and tastes delicious. There was only a few more bookshelves I needed to find so I went back to the bottom right bookshelf and found a book about poffins. The memo stated that I was closer to the gym challenge even more. It stated to go two spaces back, one to the left, two spaces forward, and one to the right. I followed the puzzle like what the memo said and I brought me to a school girl looking at the bookshelf. She turned around and saw me and my Pokémon. “Are you here to challenge the gym leader then if so get ready to fight me before her! Go lillipup!” Bark bark lilipup sails with glee as it popped out of the pokeball. “A-arien go!” Arien floated towards the dog Pokémon. The battle was once again quick as Arien knocked out the dog Pokémon in one blow. “Wow you are good! Good lick facing Lenora!” She said as she moved out of the way. I walked to the bookshelf and found a button under one of the books. I pushed it and the bookshelf moved until it created an opening with a staircase. I walked down the stairs and I was led into another room. There in the middle of a room filled with bookshelf’s was the gym leader Lenora. She looked at me and my Pokémon with a kind look. “Well y’all made it. Are you ready to fight me?” She said as she pulled two Pokeballs from her pocket. “Y-yes.” I say with nervousness. “Go Herdier!” “G-go Delilah!”. The two Pokémon gave out their cries and the stared at each other with fire in their eyes. “Herdier use take down.” “Boof!” The dog Pokémon exclaimed as it was charging at Delilah with a fast speed. “D-delilah dodge and u-use revenge.” Delilah missed the impact, which caused the dog Pokémon to crash into the floor causing it to lose health. Delilah grabs onto both of her shells and swings her shells to the other Pokémon. Herdier took massive damage and fainted. Lenora started clapping and said “ rowing such power from a Pokémon. Let’s see if you can defeat the hardest Pokémon in the gym. Watchog go!” I knew that Delilah would be tired for the other mini battle so o switched her with Arien. “Mun” he cried as he floated towards Watchog. “Watchog use bite.” The Pokémon tried to bite Arien but he just floated higher to dodge the attack. “A-Arien use psybeam!” A beam of psychic energy hit the Pokémon causing it to become confused. As it was getting ready to attack Arien it hurt itself in confusion and knocked itself down. Lenora gave as smile as my Pokémon and I celebrated our victory. “That was an excellent battle young man. You definitely deserve this gym badge.” She said as she handed me her badge. “T-thank you for t-the battle.” I say as I put away my badge. Suddenly before I could leave there was commotion coming from the museum and a bang. Lenoras husband came rushing down the stairs. “Dear we have a problem! “

3rd person POV:

“Dear we have a problem” Lenoras husband declared as he ran down the stairs. Lenora returned her Pokémon. “Touya, let us see what is happening outside in the museum.” Touya nodded and his two partner Pokémon chirped in agreement. The trio sprinted back into the museum. There in the lobby was Team Plasma, they were destroying the display of Dragonite by removing the skull. “HEY! Put that back where it belongs and get out of my museum.” Lenora shouted running towards team Plasma. They had fled with the skull in possession. Lenora tried to catch up with them,but they were already gone.

Lenora with Touya exited the gym trying to see where the goons went. However, a voice cracked the two from their concentration “Hello Lenora, darling!” The two looked over near the south side of the town and saw the flamboyant bug gym leader. Burgh was a medium tall man that looked like a model. His hair was medium length down to his shoulders and dirty blond. His eyes were a pale green that held a certain fire whenever he stared at people. His clothes screamed artist. His pink scarf was blowing as he ran towards us. “Burgh this is Touya.” Lenora had explained to Burgh. “Nice to meet you Touya!” Burgh gave Touya a very hyper handshake. Burgh then turned his attention back to Lenora. This was a very interesting scene that was being played out. Brugh hugged Lenora extremely tight and she recuperated awkwardly. The chatted for about a few minutes. “L-lenora I a-am sorry if I-I sound rude b-but what a-about the s-skull that t-team Plasma had s-stolen?” Touya asked shyly yet he wanted the two to regain their focus on the problem in front of us. Lenoras face then returned to one of sheer frustration as she remembered the problem that was happening. “Brugh have you seen people in knight outfits?” She asked glancing around. “Oh that was what those things they wore were? Terrible fashion choice if you ask me. I saw them heading to Pinwheel forest.” Lenora was looking fiercely at the ground as if she was coming up with something. She was about to give us orders on what to do until we heard a couple of chattering voices approaching her. Touya had recognized those voices anywhere. It was his sister and her friends. “Hi you must be the gym leader! I want to challenge your gym.” Touko said while ignoring me. Lenora gave her a look that said not now but Touko being Touko, she wanted things to go their own way. “I am a challenger may I please battle your gym.” Touko said with a sweet yet bitter voice. Lenora not wanting to deal with drama accepted Touko proposal of a challenge. “Touya and Burgh can you please go to Pinwheel forest and retrieve the dragon skull?” Lenora asked before she went in. As the trio of friends were following Lenora from behind, Bianca gave Touya a sympathetic look. “Well that happened, well Touya let’s go to the forest!” Burgh said as he dragged Touya along, Touyas companions we following from behind.

The entrance of the forest was grand the trees reached at extreme length coving up most of the sky. The suns rays still pierced through the trees causing a kaleidoscope effect. The patterns looked like of those of a stained glass window. Burgh turned to Touya and said, “ So I will check the northern area of the forest and you will take the southern part of it. Touya nodded and Burgh went off to the path towards the North. Touya has heard a noise of leaves moving and saw that Delilah and Arien were playing in a pile of leaves. “A-alright g-guys lets g-go find the d-dragon skull.” Touya said as he started at the south side path. The trio went along the path side when they reached the entrance to another part of the forest they saw a member of team Plasma. The grunt had turned to them and was approaching them hastily. “What are you doing here? This is team Plasma business go away. Go patrat!” The grunt had then realized his patrat and the small rodent like Pokémon gave out a hiss. Delilah had moved in front of Touya and had knocked out the patrat with a razor shell. The team plasma grunt looked at Delilah with shock but that was broken as he grabbed his Pokémon and ran further along the path. Touya had then scooped up the otter Pokémon in his arms again as the trio went on with in the forest. They had run into some other members of team plasma who had let Touya continue his path along the way to the end of the forest. Touya had ran into some wandering rangers who gave Touya some berries after defeating them in a battle. Bug type Pokémon had at random moments attacked the trio but Arien took care of them. Touya had finally reached the end of the path and found the other team plasma member talking to another grunt and a elderly man who was wearing odd sage robes that had the team plasma logo. “That’s the trainer that defeated me in the entrance.” The grunt that Touya had defeated was pointing in his direction. Delilah growled in Touya’s arm ready to defeat another Pokémon. “It’s because you have only a patrat! I can beat this punk.” The other grunt had said with frustration in his voice. “Go sandile!” A small crocodile Pokémon had come out of the pokeball and gave out a battle cry. “G-go Delilah.” Delilah jumped from Touyas arm and had its hands near its scallops on her sides. “Sandile use bite.” The sandile came closer to Delilah with its jaw widening as it took closer steps to her. “D-Delilah dodge i-it’s attack a-and u-use razershell.” Delilah gave out a cry as she was too late to dodge but she brought out her sharpened sword like shell and attacked the sandile. The sandile gave out a cry out of pain as it fainted on the forest floor. “I w-win. Now m-may please h-have the skull b-back.?” Touya asked as he held Delilah tightly in his arms. The grunts scowled and returned the skull as they fled the scene. The older man approached Touya and gave him a look. “This was for our king but those fools did not know that this skull was not the legendary Pokémon skull.” He muttered as he walked away.

Touya was about to exit the area when Lenora approached him. “Touya did you find the dragon skull?” Touya then proceeded to give the skull back to Lenora. “Touya thank you for your help for attaining the skull. I have a moon stone to give you for my thanks. Give it to a specific Pokémon and it will evolve.” Lenora said as she guided Touya to the exit. Lenora had left with a wave and said “Good luck Touya with the rest of your journey.” Burgh was there and looked at Touya. “Great job on retrieving the skull back Touya.” Burgh said with glee. “This exit takes you to sky arrow bridge. That bridge will take you to Castelia city. I will be waiting for your challenge. Goodbye!” Burgh said as he exited the forest. Touya and his Pokémon had all left the forest to find themselves glancing at an extremely tall bridge. The view was breath taking from that tiny area as the sun kissed the horizon one last time before the twilight came out.

——————————————————————
The twilight gleamed as Touya made his way to the entrance of the gate of Skyarrow bridge. The bridge was over an ocean that seemed to stretch into the distance. Below the bridge is a noisy highway that contained cars of many types. They were extremely noisy but that was the life of city living. Before Touya started walking he noticed Delilah trying her best to stay awake. Touya had scooped up the otter and she slowly fell asleep to the noisy highway below. Arien however, seemed to continue to float by his side. There was no trace of drowsy ness on his body but Arien was nodding off. So Touya decided to not carry him with Delilah. As Touya continued his journey on the bridge he noticed that there was occupants on the bridge. They seemed to be mesmerized by the view over the ocean. Touya from that point went forward to the end of the bridge, Arien still floating by his side. Delilah gave out soft snores once in a while in his arms as she was resting. Touya stepped down the stairs that lead to the entrance to Castelia City.

The city was ginormous with buildings that seemed to touch the sky. The many lights of the city twinkled like stars. The lights seemed to replace the stars that were gone in the sky. There was a dock near the entrance way that seemed to have an orange boat. Delilah started to wake up due to the new scent that the city produced, yet she did not want to leave Touyas arms. Arien was looking at the multicolored lights with interest. Touya wanted to explore the city. So, Touya made his way to the hotels near the city’s entrance to get a room for the night. Touya entered the building and made a bee line towards one of the front desk. “Hi! How may I help you this evening?” The hotel employee asked. “Do y-you have a-any r-rooms available t-tonight?” Touya asked shyly. “We have a few rooms available tonight! I can give you one on the first floor? How does that sound?” The hotel employee asked. “T-that sounds g-great!” Touya said. Touya paid the nightly fee and received his key for the room. Delilah jumped from his arms and walked by his side to the room. The room was very comfy. The walls were a light purple color with a hydrangea painting hanging over the bed. The signature on the painting said Burgh. It wasn’t surprising to Touya that this was one of Burghs work. Burgh was known to be one of the greatest artist in Unova. Touya decided to head back outside to the city to not only grab food for him but for his friends as well.

Touya and his Pokémon were once again by his side excited to grab food and explore the city. Touya looked at this map and found a cafe that was still open. It was on Narrow street. The three companions went down and passed the busy people. It was very odd to Touya that even at night the city was still very lively. He went near the end of the city and finally found Narrow street. The street looked extremely shady as there was a gang that was seen walking the opposite way of the street. The cafe was there stuck on the corner. Just as Touya was about to enter the cafe. There was a man who handed him the move flash. It seemed really sketchy but he thanked the man and headed inside. The cafe itself was very pretty with red floors and tan walls. The music in the cafe was played live on the guitar. The tune was very medieval sounding with the usage of minor and major chords. It was very beautiful. There were some people who wore nice suits in this cafe but there was not a lot of costumers this late at night. Touya went up and ordered his and his Pokémon’s food. He went and sat down at one of the empty tables. While he was taking in the soothing atmosphere, a man walked up to his table. The man was wearing a fancy black suit and had a smirk on his sharp face. “Hey kid do you want to buy this rare egg, I’ll give you a great price and sell it for 500 poke dollars ?” He said with a nasally voice. Touya looked at the man. He did not know what to do. Touya would hate to see what would happen to the egg if it went into the wrong hands. “S-sure.” Touya stuttered out as he payed for the mysterious Pokémon egg. The man grinned and handed him the egg. Touya looked at the egg and it moved a little bit. It seemed to move a little bit and it looked like the Pokémon was about to hatch soon. Touya put the egg in his lap to somewhat keep it warm. His food came and he ate quickly and in silence. He glanced at his two companions as they were excitedly consuming their food.

Touya left the cafe once they were finished with eating. He left with a new friending tow. Delilah waddled beside him looking like she was about to nap once again. Arien was having trouble keeping himself awake. Touya decided that he was going to explore in the morning. Because he was also feeling drowsy. The three rushed out of Narrow street and made their way back to the hotel. Touya saw Delilah and Arien rush to the bed as they entered the room. He put down the egg in a warm blanket that was in the room. It somewhat shakes some more but the mysterious Pokémon still did not hatch. He went to get ready for bed. As he splayed down and stared at the out side he wondered how was N doing? And he fell asleep to the noisy streets of Castelia City.

No ones POV:

The twilight glistened as the greenette made his way to pinwheel forest. He had just once again lost to the brunette. However he did not seem angry, he seemed more intrigued of the other. N could not point out why but he seemed to have an attraction for the other boy. N had noticed the love he gave for his now Dewott, even though her language was foul. N had noticed the new addition to Touyas team, the munna. The munna seemed to also deeply care for the timid boy. And surprisingly it was not also in the confined of its pokeball. N hated pokeballs. They were a way to enslave Pokémon. N was not much of people’s person, he only wanted the company of Pokémon. N was one that had a dislike for humans due to their destructive behavior on other Pokémon. However he was completely enamored by the brunette. He could not get over their current battle. Touyas pokemon were extremely tough. The way the brunette looked as he battled. Those fierce and strong eyes that Touya held when he was in the midst of battle gave him butterfrees in his stomach. He shook his thoughts out of his head as he made his way to the Forrest, he had a dragon to find.

The greenette pushed back a lock of hair that fell out of his ponytail. As he entered the forest entrance his knights all bowed to him and let him walk by. He walked to an entrance of some sort and slowly made his way down the steps where he could talk with some of the wild Pokémon before he continued his search. He saw a whirlipede approach him with no malice. The bug Pokémon sat there as N was talking to him. After thirty minutes the whirlipede had to leave. N waved to the Pokémon as it left. He kept walking deeper into the smaller forrest.

There he found an old man standing on one of the ledges. The man saw N and gestured him to come closer. N was extremely hesitant to even talk to this person. N still doesn’t know arceus why he approached the older man but he did anyway. “Greetings young man. What brings you out into these woods?” The man asked with a smile. “That is none of your concern.” N said coldly. The man just laughed at N’s response and continued to say “Do you know about the protector of this forrest?” N looked at the man weirdly. He had never heard of the protector of this forrest. Was this man on drugs?

The man said “From the look of confusion on your face, I am guessing you have never heard the protector of this forrest. It is an uncommon story amongst the younger generations. Let me tell you the tale of Virizion the protector of this current forrest and the Swords of Justice. The swords of justice consisted of originally three legendary Pokémon Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion. These Pokémon in the past have challenged humans in order to protect other Pokémon. They did not like humans and had a great distrust for them because of the war that endangered Pokémon. There was a forrest fire that happened in the Moor of Icirrus. Many wild Pokémon were endangered but the Swords of Justice were there to protect them. Terrakion shaped the earth and created passage by which to escape, Virizion used its speed to shield the Pokémon from sparks and embers, while their leader, Cobalion, ushered Pokémon to safety. Despite their efforts, the forest eventually burned to the ground. However, amongst the ashes, the three came across a lone Pokémon known as Keldeo who was separated from its parents. The trio adopted Keldeo into their group and taught it the knowledge and moves necessary in order to survive. Over time, Keldeo began to surpass its teachers before leaving the forest, though it is unknown why it left.
The trio proceeded to fight back the armies, overwhelming them with their combined might. Legends of them continue to be told today, and it has been said that if human conflict ever again threatened to safety of Pokémon, that they would return to quell the fighting and preserve a climate of peace.”

The old man finished his tale. N sat there in silence. He had never heard of this legend before but this tale made him dislike humans more than before. N was about to continue on deeper into the forrest until he was stopped. The old man had stopped him. “Lad Virizion is said to dwell in this forrest, I would not mess with it. Virizion really hates humans and it seems that you are not the one.” N was confused what does he mean by “not the one”. The old man then sighed and said “A piece in the tale that is never told but there seems to be a part in which a trainer would come and tame the hatred in the Three Pokémon. And I know that you are not that person.” N was quite and somewhat angry. He was one that tried to protect Pokémon from humans how could he not be the one to tame and use the three swords Pokémon for other Pokémon’s protection. N turned around and went back to his original goal of finding the dragon. He walked towards the exit of Pinwheel forest and headed into the bridge that lead to Castelia City.

Castelia City was a nightmare for the greenette. There were people walking everywhere. He just went along and walked as fast as he could to avails the more crowded spaces in the city. He headed to one of the piers that was less crowded and saw a woman holding a Oshawott. Touya came back and started to haunt his head. N sat there on the bench thinking of the brunette. N wondered how he was fairing on his side. When N noticed the sun to fall he started to make his way out of the city and into the Desert, butterflies still flying in his chest.

Oh no, there you go, making me a liar

The brunette had woken up from his slumber from a clashing noise. He looked around his room to see if anyone had broken in the only thing that was visible was the clock that read 7:00 am. He nervously got up and turned on the lamp near his side of the bed. He turned around to see both of his Pokémon chasing another Pokémon. She has black mop of fur covering its eyes, it’s blue body in the shape of a small dinosaur-like creature. She had a tiny wound that was probably from running into things. This was a Deino. They were somewhat common in the northern area of the region. These Pokémon are known to be extremely blind so for them to learn about their surroundings they tend to tackle and bite. One thing that Touya noticed that the Deino seemed afraid of everything. Touya was curious to know where this Pokémon came from and he remembered the egg that he had bought. This was his Deino. Touya plopped onto the ground and held his hand out for the Deino. The Pokémon slowly inched her way towards his hand and sniffed it. She gave him a small lick and rubbed his hand around her face. She wanted to be pet a lot. Touya started giggling as he noticed her wagging tail. “Y-you are s-so cute. You need a-a n-name. How a-about Nyx?” Touya asked the dragon Pokémon. She continued to wag her tail so Touya took it as a sign that she likes the name. Touya stood up and went to go grab one of his heal balls that he has had on him to get Nyx on his team officially. As he almost walked away he felt a strong tug on his left pant leg and looked down to see Nyx pulling on it. Touya scooped her up in his arms and went to his bag, his other two companions following behind them. He opened his bag and found the pocket where his pokeballs were secure. He saw that he only had three heal balls and he would later go buy some great balls. He took out one of the healball’s and placed it next to Nyx. She was sniffing it and proceeded to bite the button almost cracking the healball with her strong jaws, but there was the light that pulled the Pokémon into her pokeball. The ball shook until it made the clicking noise to show that she was now his. He let her out of her pokeball because he did not like his Pokémon to be trapped inside them. Nyx plopped on the bed and started dozing off. This gave Touya the time to change and get ready for more exploring of Casteila city.

The brunette left the hotel with Nyx in his arms, Delilah waddling beside him, and Arien floating behind him. The city was still busy in the day than the night. The smell was not one that was pleasant all the time but the view of the ocean was very beautiful. Before Touya went into the bug type gym to challenge Burgh, he was wanting to grab some Castelia cones for his friends. They are known to be one of the tastiest treats in Unova. However, the crowd was bad when walking down Mode street. Delilah was clinging on Touya’s leg while Arien still floated above his head. Nyx started to nap in Toyuas arm. It seemed that she was extremely comfortable given the circumstances. Touya found the ice cream stand and there was not a long line yet. He stood in the line around ten minutes until he got four Castelia cones.

The four found a place in the town square to enjoy their frozen treats. When they had finished their treats they made way to the next gym. The gym was very bug themed but that made it have a more natural charm. “Hey kid, this is the bug gym. Good luck and here is a fresh water.” The man in the entrance way said. “Thank y-you!” Touya exclaimed. The first opponent that he was facing was a clown who brought out a sewaddle. “Go sewaddle!” “Go Delilah!” Delilah had her scallops ready as she had a fire in her eyes. “Delilah use f-fury cutter!” “Woot!” She cried out as she used her scalp blade to cut the bug. It was knocked out in one blow. Touya had then proceeded to enter the next room through the honey covered wall. When he exited though he ran into the next opponent by accident. “Go swaddle.” As he was about to call out Delilah, Nyx was trying to escape his grasp. Though she was young she wanted to fight. Touya agreed but he was going to recall her after her first attack so she would not hurt herself in there. “Sewaddle use string shot!” “Nyx dodge and use headbutt.” Somehow with Nyx dodged as she smelled the location of the string. She charged at full speed and slammed her head against the bug pokemon and it flew to the other side of the room. “N-Nyx return. Delilah f-finish it with a fury cutter.” Nyx once again returned to his arms as he lifted her in his arms. “Wot!” Delilah cried as she cut the Pokémon and caused it to faint. Touya then started pressing switches on the floor to open the gate in front of the gym leaders room. The final switch was found and the gate had disappeared and now it was Touya to prove his friends strength. “Ah glad you can make it Touya! Are you ready to go against me?” Burgh said enthusiastically. “Y-yes!” Touya said as he called out Arien. “Go Swadloon!” Burgh said as the second evolution of sewaddle made its presence known. “Arien use hypnosis!” “Na!” A beam came out of Arien as he put the leaf pokemon into a deep sleep. “Use paybeam!” A colorful beam shot out of Ariens head as it hit the swadloon as it was till asleep. “Finish it off with another psybeam!” The same beam shot out of Arien and knocked out the sleeping Pokémon. “Not bad! But let me show you my next Pokémon, go whirlipede!” A round centipede like Pokémon came out and cried out a battle cry. “Arien u-use psybeam again.” Before Burgh could command his whirlipede the beam shot of Arien and k-o the pokemon. “ Wow my last Pokémon I was not expecting you to be this strong! Come out my darling Levanny!” A mantis like Pokémon with a snails came out. “Arien return go Delilah!” Arien came back to Touyas side and Delilah made herself known. “Levanny Razor leaf!” Burgh said. “Delilah quickly dodge and use fury cutter!” The otter dodged the storm of leaves that came near it and started to slash the Pokémon. The Levanny was getting tired from the super effective blow . “Delilah one more time!” Delilah smirked at the Levanny and knocked it out. Before it could hit the ground Burgh recalled it into its pokeball. “That was a good battle Touya! Here is the bug badge!” Touya and his Pokémon cheered on. “T-thank you ask much Burgh.” Touya said as he started to leave the gym and head for the desert. The person at the gate had warned him about the harsh sandstorm.

The desert was harsh and Touya had to return his friends so they would not get hurt during the harsh sandstorm. There was a town that was being built in the middle of the desert. The hot heat had caused him to remove his jacket. He apologized to his Pokémon through their balls reassuring them that once they were out of the desert he would take them out of their pokeballs again. He rushed into the nearest gate past the bridge and took a wrong turn and he found himself in another sandstorm with more desert. He started to cough up sand as it made its way into his lungs. He heard a cry and felt something lift him up. To his surprise it was a Sigilyph with an odd coloration. It was carrying him gently into the entrance of an old castle. It looked familiar to Touya, he had recalled stories of this place when he was younger. “T-thank you s-so much.” He exclaimed to the Sigilyph. It chirped and was examining him as a mother looks at her child. He pulled out a Oran berry out of his pocket. “Are y-you h-hungry?” The bird like Pokémon came closer and sniffed the berry and ate it in one go. It let out a small cry of happiness. “I-I have t-to go b-but thank y-you for the s-shelter. D-do you k-know the w-way out o-of the d-desert?” The bird lifted him off the ground again and teleported to the exit of the desert. It had a sad look on its face as it started to float away. “W-WAIT!” Touya cried out. The bird like Pokémon turned around and looked at him with its gentle eyes. “W-would you l-like to come w-with me?” Touya asked as he brought out a great ball. The Sigilyph gave a happy chirp as it poked at the center of the pokeball opening it. When the ball stopped moving Touya had let her out of her pokeball. “Y-you need a n-name, h-how about Nazca?” She chirped with glee as her new friend smiled at her. She floated by him as they entered the gate into Nimbasa City. He took out his Pokémon once again and held Nyx in his hands. He let his other Pokémon greet Nazca and they approved of their new friend. Nazca lifted Delilah onto her back and carried her the rest of the way. Arien was very happy to be out of his pokeball again and was chirping happily. Nyx was nuzzling in Touyas arms as she felt safe once again in his arms.

“Help me!” Touya heard as he exited the gate. There was two team plasma members in front of him who was harassing an older gentleman. The old man saw Touya and rushed behind him. The grunts let out a watchog. To Touyas surprise Nyx leapt out of his arms and head butted the watchog until it was knocked out. She started growling in the direction of the grunts. “Ah fuck we better get out of here.” One of them cried out as they ran into the direction of the Ferris wheel.
Touya ran to Nyx checking and healing any winds she had gotten during the fight. To his surprise she was barely scratched and walked into his arms again, wanting to be picked up. “Young man you have some very powerful Pokémon there! Why don’t you take this off my hands, I don’t need it anymore.” Touya had received a bike from the older man and thanked him. Touya went into the direction of the fleeing team plasma members to see if he could find them. He heard a voice right behind him say “Why if it isn’t my dear Touya.” N stood there with a small smile. “I see that you have made some more friends.” He said as he pet both Nyx and Nazca. They both slammed grateful for the pets. He turned back to Touya and said “ would you like to go on the Ferris wheel?” Touya nodded and returned his Pokémon back into their balls because the Pokémon were not allowed to be out during the ride. He tools N hand as they entered the Ferris Wheel. They stared at each other in silence. “So my dear Touya, how have you been I saw that you have obtained two more members of your team.“ N said. “I h-have been g-good. The d-desert was r-rough to cross. How a-about y-you?” Touya said shyly to the greenette. “He smiled warmly and said “I am doing very well dear Touya.” N came to sit closer to Touya and they sat in silence for a good five minutes. “What is your favorite Pokémon type touya.” N had asked. “I like a-all Pokémon I d-dont have a favorite t-type
.” Touya had said. They sat there for a good ten minutes getting to know each other better. “ Has anyone told you that your eyes are very beautiful Touya eyes.” N had said. Touya shyly shook his head and said “ Y-you are the one with t-the pretty eyes. They a-are like the o-ocean.” Touya flushed red. N let out a chuckle and cupped Touyas cheeks.Touya had expected that the greenette was going to kiss his lips but the greenette kissed his nose lightly. Touya huffed a little bit and pulled N closer till they were touching noses. They both leaned in as they were in each other’s world but it was quickly shattered as N broke the silence. “Touya I need to tell you something.” N said as he stopped in the middle of the almost kiss. “I am the king of team Plasma.”

I don't wanna fight
'Cause you're always right
Tell you what you like
Even if it's lies
I don't know why I try
I shut up and cry - Zolita
————————————————————————

Orange and yellow were leaving the sky as darkness made her presence known. The lights in the amusement park penetrated the darkness and gave an air of calmness. Touya stood there for what seemed to be eternity as he stared at the greenette in front of him.

All it took was those few words in the Ferris wheel to make him feel confused. “Ghetsis has asked me to work with him to save the Pokémon. There are many evil being who find it satisfying to break Pokémon until it’s final breath. People do not deserve the companionship of Pokémon.” There was more silence until it was broken again by N’s voice “ I wonder how many Pokémon exist in this world…” The ride came to a stop and both men walked out with silence.

“My Lord!” was screamed as the two grunts that Touya had fought earlier rushed to their lord’s side. The two knights had saw the boy that had defeated them earlier and were stunned. There was even more awkward silence as no one had said anything. Tension was at high stakes.

What seemed for like eternity N turned to the grunts and said “ Go quickly, and let my battle cover your retreat.” The two grunts fled as N turned back to the silent brunette. “…Do you follow my logic my dear ?” Touya stood there quietly as he absorbed the information that was thrown at him. He look at N with a sorrowful yet anger loom in his eyes l. “Y-yes I do follow your l-logic. But I-I do not t-think it is right to s-separate humans and P-Pokemon from one another.”

N and Touya looked at each other once more until N took out a pokeball. “Go sandile.” Touya sent out Delilah. “Delilah u-use razor shell.” “Sandile dodge and use bite.” The small crocodilian Pokémon could not dodge the otters sword like shell as it impacted his smaller frame. N had returned sandile before anymore damage could be done on his friend.

N sent out his next Pokémon “Go scraggy” . The Pokémon jumped up in the air when released from its ball. “Use low sweep on Dewott.” “Delilah use r-revenge”. Both trainers said at the same time. Both Pokémon copied with one another as they both took the other’s attack. The scraggy took more damage as it was hit with a super effective move. The two Pokémon fought agin as another move was called out by both trainers finally the scraggy fainted from Delilah’s aqua jet.

Dewott had no problem wiping out two more Pokémon from N’s team one being a dwebble and the other being a darumaka. N had released his final Pokémon which was a Sigilyph as Touya sent out Nyx. Delilah rushed back to Touya’s side as she needed a break from fighting. N’s Sigilyph fell to the ground as Nyx gave it a harsh bite.

Touya had one this battle. N looked disappointed until he started to chuckle. He came closer to Touya and said “Your partners really care for you Touya. You treat them really well. But I have a future to change my dear. And for that future… I’ll defeat the champion and become unbeatable, unlike any other. I’ll make all trainers free their Pokémon! Just try and stop me! Till we meet again dear.” N picked up Touyas chin and placed a small peck on his lips as he walked off before Touya could say anything.

Touya sat there in silence lost for words as he tried to contemplate on what had just happened. His Pokémon came out of their balls looking at their friend in worry. The sun finally said it’s good bye as night made her appearance.
