Viridian in Unova (Pokémon FanFiction)

Chapter 31

Y's P.O.V.

I landed next to N on the castle roof. I returned Resheram, and headed back to my room.

"Yellow, where are you going?" N asked me.

"My room," I said simply, "Why?

"Well I thought we could train our Dragons together before bed. So how about it?"

But I declined, "No thank you N. I just want to sleep. Today has been too much for my brain and I need to be alone for tonight..."

N gave me a worried look, "Are you sure you're ok Yellow? Ever since Anne and the prisoners escaped, you've been out of character." Then he gasped, "Is it about what that ginger haired boy said about you?! You shouldn't be listening to him! There was nothing wrong with what you did! You just want what's best for Pokémon, just like everyone else on Team Plasma!"

I looked away, "I know that N. But I'm starting to wonder if we're doing the right thing..."

N gave me a shocked look, "Of course we're doing the right thing! There is nothing wrong with wanting to help Pokémon!"

I closed my eyes and remembered Sakkaku's unconscious body in Silver's cut and bloodied arms with their almost fainted Pokémon at their side, "But this battle has hurt both People and Pokémon alike. I remember when I started on my journey. It was my mission to find and rescue Red, and I ended up saving the world from Lance, the Champion of the Johto Region. Lance only wanted what was best for Pokémon, but his plans hurt and killed both humans and Pokémon alike."

"No one's ended up dead so far Yellow." N hissed, looking a bit unnerved.

I shook my head, "So far N. So far Sakkaku, Taretia, Silver, and myself have almost died in this war. I'm just saying that we need to become more careful N. Now I'm going to my room."

I went to my room and locked the door. I let out Resheram, "Now what to name you..."

Then Resheram growled at me, "My name is Whiteflame! You are not my true master, and I only follow you because your badges control my skills."

I sighed, "Fine. Keep your name." I returned the dragon and sent out Teppy, putting a hand on his arm since I could no longer reach is head, "What am I going to to Teppy? Please be honest."

Teppy snorted fire, 'If you want me to be honest, I don't think you should have joined Team Plasma in the first place. Do you remember the first day we met N? Ghetsis was holding a lecture in the town center. Do you remember what you asked me?'

I nodded, "Yes. I asked you if you thought Pokémon should be liberated. And you said no because you would miss me."

'Exactly. You say Pokémon are forced to do things they do not want to do, but you are doing the same thing!' Teppy turned his back to me, 'You have changed Yellow. You're not the same fun, kind, great trainer that chose me as her Partner. You've turned into a beast, caring for nothing but yourself and that green haired freak!'

That stung.

I sighed. I couldn't take any more of this. I returned Teppy to his Pokéball and fell asleep on my bed.

Had I really changed that much?
