Promise By The Ferris Wheel (N x Reader)

Part 4: What's the truth?

Time skip brought to you by your Litwick, so you can't be mad

You carefully step out of the Pokémon Center and into the dark streets, Litwick waddling beside you.

"Why are we out so late, trainer?" she asks.

"I don't know, N said he wanted to-"

Your pulse spikes as a hand is clasped over your mouth and you're pulled into an alleyway.

Litwick's flame flares up as she's about to attack.

"Hold on," says your captor.

Wait, you know that voice!

"I'm not going to hurt either of you, understood?"

You nod.

"Now, I'm going to move my hand, so please don't scream." He lowers his hand and you spin around.

"N!"

"Oh, it's just him," Litwick lets out a sigh. "I was worried for a second."

a. "What did you want to tell me?"

b. "Did you really have to grab me like that?"

c. "Why so late?"

a. "So what is it?" you ask. "What did you want to tell me?"

He smiles. "I'm getting to that, don't worry."

b. "Did you really have to grab me like that?? I thought I was being kidnapped!"

Litwick lets out a little squeal that matches your irritation.

"I'm sorry Y/N! I had to be as subtle as possible."

c. "Why did you want to meet up at this time?"

He rubs the back of his head. "I apologize for dragging you out so late." He lowers his voice. "But this is the only time I can sneak out."

He leads you further into the alleyway, and Litwick sits on your shoulder.

"I had to ask something," N says suddenly. He turns around to face you. "Everyone in Team Plasma seems to know you, but there is no official record of your membership. I felt bad for not knowing your name, so I checked through some files to see if you're new, but...there was nothing. I require an explanation."

You stand there, locked in eye contact with him.

Uh oh.

Litwick looks back and forth between you two.

"Speak, Y/N."

"I-"

You come up with a lie, in the hopes he'll believe it.

a. You tell him your real name is something else, but Y/N is more of a preferred name so that's what everyone calls you.

b. You tell him you only recently joined Team Plasma so there just must not be a record of you yet.

c. Tell him the files must be mistaken.

N listens intently to your story until you're finished, without interrupting. He shakes his head. "C'mon, you think I'm going to believe that?"

You freeze.

Yep, he saw right through you.

"If you don't provide a proper explanation, I'll have to turn you in to Ghetsis."

You hold out a hand. "Wait! Don't-"

"I won't for now. I'll get the truth out of you one day, Y/N. But don't lie to me again." He adjusts his cap and bids you farewell, disappearing into the shadows.

You let out a big sigh of relief. 

What'll even happen if Ghetsis finds out about you?

You look up and head back to the Pokémon Center. 

Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Litwick chirps happily on your shoulder. She appears to always be excited about something.

You check in at the Pokémon Center and lie down in one of the rooms. "It's been a long day, huh Litwick?"

"Long day! Sleep now!"

You close your eyes, and Litwick's flame dims a bit.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but I hope you liked it anyways. Will N ever find out the REAL reason you're in the Unova Region? Will he even believe you? Now, if you've been reading all the way from part 1 to here and it's late, GO TO SLEEP. You know who you are. And if it isn't late then just go take a bathroom or snack break.
