A False Kings True Queen (N x Reader)

After the Attack [4]

Hey, you see that video? Well don't play it yet. Not until N starts playing it! Oops, spoiler.

N's P.O.V (He may be O.O.C.)

I leave the Poke Center trying to decide what to do, when I saw a Shiny Zorua by a girl around my age maybe a bit younger with (H/l), (H/c) hair. The Zorua seemed to be in a fight, but with who? I walk up to them and the girl looks up at me, with a quiet voice she calls my name. "... N?"
"Do I know you?" I ask politely. I look at the Zorua and see she is fighting a Team Plasma grunt, looks like the grunt just got hit with a powerful attack. "What do you think you're doing? Hurting this pokemon, for what purpose?"
"Sir N! The pokemon attack me, I was only defending myself." The grunt said. 'One side of the story.'
'Lies! You tried to hurt my human! I was protecting her!' The Zorua growled at the grunt. 'Zorua was protecting the girl? After she was hurt?'
'(Y/n)... Wake up!' The Zorua barked. Another pokeball was heard opening, it's in her bag? A small Lillipup hopped out of the bag, he looked around and growled at the grunt, but turning to me with fangs bared ready to attack. 'Both of these pokemon are protecting her?' I look at her, why would she just call my name? Wait, is she even okay right now?
"Lillipup, Zorua, I mean no harm to you or your human, I just want to see if she's alright. Can I?" The Lillipup looked at the Zorua, and then at the girl, then back to me.
'One wrong move, and I won't hesitate to tear ya to shreds!' He growled, but moved aside.
'He can't hear you Lillipup, (Y/n)'s the only one who can!' The Zorua barked. 'So, this girl, (Y/n), can understand them?'

I get to her and check her breathing. Still is breathing, good. Pulse, steady. I shake her gently hoping to wake her, but she shows no signs of awakening. Wait, didn't the Zorua say the grunt tried to hurt her? "Why did you attack her?"
"Sir? I didn't attack her, her pokemon attac-"
"How would you know this pokemon is hers?"
"I... I came to see if... If she was alright, she collapsed here. I came to see if she was okay, and the pokemon attacked me." The grunt was trying to white lie himself out of this, unbeknownst to him he's dug himself further into the hole he's made.
"But she was awake, or just barely before I came over here. Now tell me, why did you attack her?"
The grunt sighed knowing he was caught in his lies. He paused before replying with. "Classified information."
"I'm your king." 'This title has its perks.'
"You don't need to worry yourself about it then, I'll take my leave." And with that the grunt leaves. 'That not being one of them.'

'Why am I always left in the dark?' I look back at the girl, wait wasn't she with Hilbert? But she ran off... Her pokemon call her (Y/n), and the two trainers said she was with them... Why does she look familiar? I can't help but ask. "Zorua, who is this girl?"
'I could just bark, and you'd get something from nothing, I'm not saying.' Zorua growled.
"Please? I'll need to know if I'm going to help her."
'Nope, not sa-' Lillipup cuts in.
'ZORUA! He understands ya!' Yipping happily.
'You do?' Zorua asked while tilting her head to the right.
"Yes, now maybe I should move her... We don't want that grunt coming back for her. My camp is just out of the town, could we go there?"

Zorua nodded, Lillipup just followed along with Zorua's opinion. Such an odd relationship. I feel something hit my shoulder, and I look to see Zorua there. 'Well, pick her up! She's not walking and we're not dragging.' I put my hands under her knees and behind her back to pick her up, like a groom would to a bride. Lillipup hopped onto the girl's chest and huddled close to the neck, before we headed back to my camp. It was about a five-minute walk there from where we were, Zorua fell asleep on my shoulder, and the whole way there Lillipup glared at me. 'If looks could kill, I'd more than 6 feet under. More like 6 meters.' I shook off those thoughts and hurried back to my tent. I place her on my sleeping bag and put a light blanket on her body, Lillipup refused to leave her side, so I left him in the tent.

'(Y/n)... Why does that sound familiar? She looks familiar to. A worker? No, none of them are this young. Obviously not a grunt, she was attacked by one. I'll just have to ask when she wakes up.' The night was approaching quick, so I quickly made a small fire for me and the pokemon to be around. It was a clear sky tonight, they are always the most beautiful. A disturbance catches my attention, Zorua was looking at the tent. Maybe she's up? I was about to ask, but my question was answered. She sat up very quickly, she doesn't know where she is, she's scared. "Zorua, you go in first, I don't want her to panic... And burn down the forest." And just like I asked Zorua ran into the tent and a second later I heard happy giggles.

I open the tent door more so I can get through, when she looks up at me her face pales. She stopped laughing, smiling or anything. She froze. She looked like a statue, her eyes were like glassy gems. She began to tremble, tears escaping, she was muttering something, but I couldn't make it out. She was starting to curl up, her knees hugged tight to her chest and face hidden by the tops of her arms.
"Don't... don't take me back..." Back? Back where?
"I'm sorry? I don't know what you mean right now. Who are you if you don't mind me asking?"
"You already know N. He's won..." She was starting to shake violently, her pokemon were trying to comfort her but obviously it wasn't working. I had an idea, someone from a long time ago said that if you play this song it will heal all wounds. They said the name, but my memory was failing me, but I remember the tune; that's what's important. I pick a suitable leaf, and start to play. 'Who taught me this? Who was that girl?'

(Y/n)'s P.O.V

Over my sobs, I heard a melody that I haven't heard in years. 'Oracion, the song that will heal all wounds...' I sit there for a minute, just listening. I then pick up Zorua and put her on my head, and I hold Lillipup in my arms. I leave the tent and see N using a leaf to play the song. 'The way I showed him.' The song soothed me in so many ways, I was calmed. I started to hum along, nostalgia flowed like the melody. It was beautiful. 'When did he get talented at this? I remember he didn't even know you could play a tune with a leaf.' Eventually he stopped playing, but the atmosphere stayed calm. I felt rejuvenated, at peace and alive.

"It's a beautiful tune, it apparently can he-"
"Heal all wounds. It's called Oracion." I fill in. "I used to play it all the time when I was younger." A nostalgic smile bloomed on my face.
"A young (H/c) haired girl taught it to me, sadly I don't think she's with us anymore. I haven't seen her since." A sad look appeared on his face.
"She may be closer than you realise N." Even though what I said was true, it was just said to cheer him up.
"Why'd that grunt attack you?" That caught me off guard.
"How should I know? I was wandering after the speech and I walk by the back of the Center, a 'grunt' as you called them grabbed me from behind... Zorua tried to save me, I fell and passed out. In all actuality you probably know more than me." I laughed, only for a second, and let the tranquil atmosphere take its hold once again.

"... This may be none of my business, but what did you mean by 'Don't take me back'? Back where?" N asked.
"Well, if you ever remember that girls name, come find me. I promise I'll tell you when you remember her name." I got up and leaned towards him, hand balled in a fist with my pinkie out. "Hey, you know to do this. It's just a way to say 'deal'." He nodded and locked our fingers.

"I'm going to try to find my friends, do you know where they went?"
"They continued along the path out of town, you plan on going at this hour?"
I checked my watch, it was almost midnight. "Well, no. I didn't realise what the time was... Do you mind sharing a tent with me?" I watch his pale face become dusted with pink. "I have a sleeping bag, but it looks like it's going to start raining, and since Bianca had the tent for me and her... You get the point." His blush dulled down, but was still there.
"Um... Sure?"
"Thanks N." I go to put my sleeping bag in his tent, when I hear him ask,
"You never did tell me your name."
"No, but my pokemon did." I smile a knowing smile, if only I woke up to that song every day...
