Promise By The Ferris Wheel (N x Reader)

Part 8: Promise By The Ferris Wheel

It's fairly loud in the city, but your ears have managed to adjust.

There are almost as many people as there were in Castelia. But there are tons of different kinds of people; dancers, athletes and even people who look like they could be models.

How are we going to find N in this mess of people and Pokémon? 

Let's try finding more isolated parts of the city with less people.

On one side of the city, there's a carnival, and surprisingly, there's not that many people. Mostly everyone there are children with their parents or groups of teenagers who just want to hang out.

There's a large Pikachu balloon off in the corner, with harlequins dancing around and offering face paints. There are also stalls offering typical carnival food as well as games. 

And in the center, a huge ferris wheel.

Litwick seems unusually silent, but she's just too amazed to make any noise.

And frankly, so are you.

A tremble goes through Zoroark's Pokéball, and you let out a soft cry when it bursts out.

It looks at you with its narrow eyes, then grins and grabs your arm and runs off. It stops in front of the ferris wheel and barks, "N! I'm here!"

N?

 There he is, standing right in front of you, facing the ferris wheel. He turns around, noticing you and Zoroark.

a. "I was told to bring your Zoroark."

b. "Hah, he just dragged me right to you!"

c. "Oh, hi N!"

a. "Some grunts told me to bring your Zoroark," you tell him.

 N smiles brightly and scratches Zoroark behind its ears. He looks like he might start crying from happiness. "I can see that. It's good to see both of you!"

b. You laugh. "Haha, he just dragged me right to you!"

N looks overjoyed. He runs up to Zoroark and gives it a big hug. "It's so good to see you again, my friend!" He looks at you. "Thank you so much, Y/N!"

c. "Oh, hi N! I didn't think I'd find you here."

"Hello, Y/N." He waves to you, then looks at Zoroark.

Zoroark licks his hand excitedly, making N smile.

It's hard to explain, but seeing N and Zoroark so happy makes you happy too. But at the same time, you can't help feeling like a third wheel.

"Here, Zoroark," N says. "This is Y/N, and that's their Litwick. These two are my friends, you see?"

Zoroark smiles at you, showing its fangs, then bends down to talk with Litwick.

The two appear to become fast friends, because next time you look at them, Litwick is nestled up in Zoroark's fur.

"I was expecting a group of grunts to deliver him, so I was going to yell at them," N tells you, nodding at Zoroark who's playing with Litwick. "I don't want Ghetsis to ever lay a hand on him, even if it is to make him 'stronger'"

"Those same grunts told me to take him to you," you say, giggling. "One of them even mentioned being scared of you."

He joins in on your laughter. "Is that so? I suppose they have a reason to be afraid. I was... quite upset..."
