Pokémon: A New Chapter

Chapter 5: N

N did not know why the boy had caught his attention, he did not really stand out in the crowd, but N saw him next to another boy with black hair. His Snivy was probably the reason why he noticed him. The Pokémon was not really happy with the comments that Ghetsis made. He had already decided that he would go to the boy after Ghetsis was ready, he wanted to meet him. His Snivy seemed very satisfied with him and he wanted to know why.

He struggled to get the boy out of his sight again and turned his attention to Ghetsis' story. N believed every word of the story, so he only caught the Pokémon that were available on a route to release them later. Sometimes a few followed him, but after a while they gave up and continued with what they were doing. He had seen what people did with Pokémon and he would do anything to release them from their grasps.

As soon as Ghetsis had finished and the crowd had left, he saw the boy again. He was talking to the boy standing next to him during Ghetsis' speech. The Snivy was still angry and made eye contact with everyone who came too close to the boy, he didn't know why the Snivy was being protective. N could see the boy better now, he had some feminine traits and as he had concluded before, no one would look at him twice or no one would notice him. But he had something, a strong aura or something that made N notice him.

He quietly made his way over to the boys, as soon as the Snivy saw him he growled. "If you dare touch him I will hurt you" he said with anger flashing through his eyes. N was sure now, this Snivy had gotten him to notice the boy. The boy stopped speaking to his friend, and whirled around to look at him. He stared into a pair of brown eyes.

N was flabbergasted, he had known what he wanted to say but he had lost his words. The Snivy kept a close eye on him, reminding him to not say anything stupid.

"Just now... your Pokémon was saying" he said rather fast, still being nervous for some reason.

"Slow down! You talk too fast!" the raven haired boy cut him off, the boy with the Snivy remained silent. N wanted to hear his voice too, to see if it was like his Snivy's.

"And what's this about Pokémon... talking? That's a rather odd thing to say" the black haired boy continued.

N stood silent, 'I see' he thought, 'they can't hear them'. He rested his eyes on the brown haired boy, still no reaction.

"Yes they're talking" he spoke with confidence again, he stroked some of his tea coloured hair out of his face.

He watched the the two of them, the raven haired boy just raised an eyebrow like he wanted to say: "are you crazy or something?" the brown haired boy had turned to his Snivy, his eyes told N that he was thinking about his statement. This made N smile.

"Oh, I guess that means you two can't hear them either... how sad" he continued.

The raven haired boy still looked at him with the same expression, the brunette turned to him again, eyes filled with curiosity.

Then he finally introduced himself, "My name is N" a small smile formed on his lips.

"My name is Cheren" the raven haired boy, Cheren said. N nodded and quickly glanced at the brown haired boy near him.

"I'm Hilbert"

Finally the boy had spoken, N could almost cheer.

His voice didn't resemble his Pokémon's though, it was softer and less harsh. N looked at the Snivy again, the green Pokémon swayed his tail like an annoyed or angry Purrloin and had an irritated look on his face.

Definitely not like his Pokémon.

"What brings you to Accumula Town?" he begun, his green eyes rested on Hilbert again.

"We're on a journey to complete the pokédex, although I am mostly trying to become the Champion" N held in an annoyed sigh, he hadn't actually asked Cheren that question. Hilbert's eyes flashed, when Cheren answered, with something that N couldn't really place. He decided to shrug it off, he just wanted to battle him. To see what Hilbert's Pokémon would say in battle.

"So the pokéde, eh? So that means thar you two are going to confine many, many Pokémon in pokéballs, then?" The look on Cherens face was priceless and Hilbert turned to his Pokémon yet again. N couldn't help but smile at that small gesture, Hilberts eyes were filled with guilt and unsureness this time.

"I'm a trainer too" N spoke again, "but I can't help but wondering, are Pokémon really happy that way?".

Cheren looked at N, not another word had come out of his mouth. Which meant that N's words had hit him.

"Leo, are you happy?" a whisper that reached N's ears.

"Yes"

So sorry for the shorter chapter! But I wanted to start a new chapter for the fight against N! I finally am able to write the personalities that i headcanon for all of them so I can't wait! I also finished making Hilbert's final team and am now currently redoing Cherens and Bianca's team. I hope that you forgive me for the time that I took to write this chapter I just wanted to write from N's eyes :).

Greetings,
