Thunder And Flames (N x Reader)

Truth Route [12]

You're not sure when you fell asleep, but now you've just woken up in Ghetsis' office.

Ghetsis is sitting at his desk, looking down at you with an unreadable expression.

You quickly stand up, earning a chuckle from Colress, who's standing nearby.

"I heard the news," Ghetsis says. "You're in quite a bit of trouble, Y/N."

"However," Colress pushes his glasses up. "our Lord Ghetsis is willing to show you mercy."

"That's right. If you are willing to forget N and search for Reshiram, we will act as if this never happened."

You clench your fists at your sides. "No way! I told you I want out!"

"Now, is that any way to speak to Lord Ghetsis?" Colress scolds. "After all he's the one who ever so generously gave you that Liepard of yours."

"No, it was N who gave her to me!"

Ghetsis sighs. "They really do remember everything. What is the meaning of this, Colress?"

"Colress?" You look over to the scientist in confusion. You had assumed it was Ghetsis responsible for your memory loss, but maybe it was actually him?

Colress simply scoffs. "Are you really surprised, Y/N? Of course it was me who made the device to erase your memory." He pulls a small, microchip-like device out of his pocket. "And it works, Lord Ghetsis, so long as nothing happens to trigger the target."

Ghetsis' brow furrows. "Trigger?"

"Essentially, something happened between Y/N and N to remind them of their past relationship."

Your face heats up just thinking about it. This is so not the time.

"However," Colress adds, startling you. "I'm sure it will work again. Lord Ghetsis, I suggest we try this once more, but limit the time they spend interacting with other people.

You take a big step back. "I won't let you do that! I don't want to forget him!"

Memories play through your mind like a movie. From when you first ran into him in Virbank to when you two last parted ways. So much has happened in so little time. You won't let them just take that all away.

"Well Lord Ghetsis, what do you think?"

He pauses, the glint in his eyes showing through his monocle. "Hm... We can easily replace them, but given the situation..."

Colress takes a step towards you, raising his strange device.

You back away from him. "Don't touch me! Go away!"

Unamused, he grabs your arm and yanks you towards him. "Just make it easier for both of us."

You let out a scream, just as someone kicks the door down.

It's N! He scans the room, making eye contact with both Colress and Ghetsis.

Ghetsis stands. "My son. How good it is to see you again."

N narrows his eyes, then glares at Colress. "Put them down. Now."

Ghetsis slowly reaches for a Pokéball. "I assume you're here to return to us, correct? It's been two long years."

He keeps his gaze on Colress, who still hasn't let you go, and probably never will.

Moving swiftly, he rips Colress away from you and grabs your hand. "Y/N, let's go!"
