Why Do I Love You? {Sequel to IHEAY}

Chapter 2

After hearing about the DexHolder's, I felt pretty shaken up. Silver's gonna be here, most likely going to see me, and do Arceus-knows-what. He could beat the shit out of me, scream at me, maybe even turn me in. I managed to get him off my mind for a little bit, but only during my last two battles. And, shocker, I was actually able to win. I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, before they got there...if they were even going to be here today. 

After they announced my win, I ran out to the main lobby. They receptionists gave me my other three Pokemon back, and my prize money. I quickly thanked them, running out and looking for N. 

"N? N!? Where are you?" I yelled, pushing through the crowd. I put my hood down, to look around better and hope that he'd see me. Someone grabbed my arm, and turned me around. "N, don't do that, you nearly gave me a heart attack." 

The green haired boy chuckled. "Sorry, what's wrong?" He asked, noticing my paranoia. 

"We gotta go..." I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the crowd. 

"What's wrong? You don't wanna stay and look around a bit? You did say you wanted to get out a bit..."

"Well now I wanna go back, so we're going back!" I yelled, grabbing Dragonite's Pokeball when we got out of the crowd. As I was about to release the dragon, N grabbed the Pokeball from me. 

"Can't we at least go out and get some lunch together? Its been a while since we've done that." 

"But they-"

"No one's going to find you or turn you in. Or either one of us really, so calm down. What happened that made you so jittery?" 

He wouldn't understand. I never told him about the Dexholders, or Silver. Just that I used to be apart of Team Rocket and that I changed my ways. 

"Its nothing...just do whatever..." I mumbled. He smiled, and released Dragonite. He climbed on, and helped me up. Dragonite took off, and flew south east. 

"Where are we going?" I asked. 

"Castelia City." He replied. "I know a little place where we can eat." 

I sat there, impatiently waiting. I wanted to get back to the castle as soon as possible, but obviously that wasn't gonna happen. Besides, aren't there ports in Castelia? What if they took a boat and they're getting off now? I sighed, trying to calm myself. Worrying about it won't help at all. I just need to relax and go with the flow.

We landed on one of the ports, and N returned Dragonite to his Pokeball. I took Dragonite from him and hooked the ball onto my belt. N started walking into the main part of the city, and I followed close behind. We walked into a small alley, and there was a small shop there. N held the door open for me, and I walked in. I took a seat at the counter, with N taking a seat next to me. 

"It's a nice place, right?" He asked. 

"Oh, yeah, sure." I said, looking down at my lap. 

"Ok, something's wrong, what is it?" 

"I said it's nothing." 

"Come on, tell me." 

"I said it's nothing! Leave me alone, Arceus!" I yelled. 

"Seriously, Umber, it's been a while since you've bursted out like that. Something is wrong..." 

I sat there silently. N sighed, ordering us lemonade and some sandwiches. I leaned over the counter, resting my cheek on my hand. The waiter brought us our food, and I slowly nibbled at it. 

"Would ice cream make you feel better?" N asked, taking a bite out of his sandwich. 

"No."

"Some games?"
