Viridian in Unova (Pokémon FanFiction)

Chapter 33

Y's P.O.V.

I woke up when I heard knocking on the door the next morning.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes, "Come in..." I said through a yawn.

Ghetsis came in, "Queen Y, I have a message for you from N. He seems to have gotten Sick, and it will take him a few days or so to recover. He said to tell you to go to Verbank City today, and get your last Badge. Then Meet him in Humilou City." He bowed and left my room.

I sighed and got changed into my clothing. I placed my hat over my ponytail, and walked out.

In the hall, I looked in the direction of N's room. Two guards were standing in front of the door. Strange... If N was sick, then those guards wouldn't be there, because they would get sick as well...

I decide to go and visit N. I always had a good immune system, so it wasn't very likely that I would get sick.

I approached N's door, but the guards stepped in the way, "No one enters." One said. It was Lunner. That's just great... The guy who hates my guts is standing guard and was between me and my BoyFriend.

But I gave him a stern look and tone, "Let me in."

The other Grunt, I don't recognize her, nodded, "Sorry. We have orders from Ghetsis."

I crossed my arms, "Last time I checked, he wasn't King. N is. And I'm his Queen. So now I'm ordering you to let me though!"

The two grunts exchanged glances and stepped aside, "Very well your Highness..." They mumbled as they bowed to me.

I grinned to myself before unlocking the door. Why the door was locked, I had no idea. I then opened the door and slowly walked in, "N?" I called out.

The lump under the covers shifted a little as N called out, "Get out Yellow... I don't want you to see this..." He said in a muffled voice.

I sighed, "N, I'll be fine. Ghetsis told me you were sick, so I thought I'd visit you."

N suddenly growled, "He lied... I'm not sick..."

I tilted my head, "Then what's wrong?" I asked as I approached his bed.

But then the scent of blood hit my nose.

"N? Why do I smell blood?! What happened?!" I asked frantically as I tried to pull the covers off of him, but he held them on.

"No... You shouldn't have to see this..." He murmured.

I took the covers and with all the strength I had, I ripped the covers off of him and almost screeched at the sight before me.

N was curled up on the bed, covered in burns, bruises, and gashes. Quite a few of them were on their way to getting infected, and he was bleeding slightly.

"Oh N..." I whispered, "What happened to you?"

N looked away from me, "Ghetsis got angry at me..." He muttered, a haunted look in his eyes.

I stroked his unscathed cheek gently, "And he did this to you? Why do to let him do this to you?"

"I don't have a choice Yellow..."

"You're a King N! A King!" I pointed out.

He just sighed, "I told him that, and that's why he got angry at me..."

Anger at Ghetsis boiles inside me, "This isn't right! I won't allow this!" I growled.

But N just shook his head, "No... Please don't get inbetween me and him... You'll put yourself in serious danger... Just get your last Gym badge, and head for the league. I'll be right behind you as soon as I can..." He gave me a pleading look, and I sighed. I hated this, not being able to help N... But all I could do was do what he wished me to do.

"Alright... Just please be careful..." I kissed his forehead and left the room. I had secretly left Omny and Gravvy in their Pokéball under N's bed, so if Ghetsis got in again, they would protect them.

I went to the rooftop garden and took out Whiteflame, climbing on his back. I had three choices on which gym I could make my final gym... Sakkaku was seen in Occulcide, so Dreyden was out of the question... I didn't really wanna battle what's his face of Humilou, especially since he was for water types and had an advantege over Whiteflame.. I guess that leaves Roxie in Verbank. Poison types it is I guess. I probably left Dody instead of Gravvy, but oh well. I'll deal.

I flew to Virbank.

***

I landed in Verbank, and scrunched my nose at the smell of the city. Fumes from the Verbank Complex polluted the air, almost making me gag. But this certainly was a place for Poison Types.

I searched around for the gym and found it in a dirty trashed backally. It only showed as an old wooden door with the Gym Sign on the door. I opened it to find stairs leading down to the basement. I crept down the creeking stairs, and I began to hear rock music, and it got louder the farther down I got. When I got to the door to the actual gym, the sound was booming (and probably popping my eardrums).

I opened the door and found Roxie rocking out on her guitar, and a defeated challenger in front of her. He picked up his Pokémon, a Mawile, and ran past me in a paniced state.

Roxie looked to me, "Great! Another challenger! Who are you?"

I let a determained smirk come to my face, "Name's Y. Queen Y at that. I'm ruler of Team Plasma next to King N." I was past the whole 'Undercover stage' thing. It was time people knew who I was.

Roxie's eyes widened in shock, "You're Team Plasma's leader?!"

I nodded, "Yes. And I challenge you!" I sent out Dody and he cawed boldly.

Roxie smirked, "Alright. If you're Queen of Team Plasma, then let's make a deal. You're on the run from the cops, correct?"

I snorted, "So what if I am?"

"Here's the thing. I'll accept your challenge under one condition. If you win, I'll let you leave with the Verbank badge and no problems. But if I win, you come with me and I turn you in."

I smirked, "You're on. Let's go Dody!"
