Part 19: Nuvema Town

Beside him is a Minccino with a lot of bruises.

"Hey Black!" Juniper says. "How's Minccino doing?"

"Not too good," he replies simply. "Its fever has died down, though." He looks up, finally noticing you and N.

"Oh, these two trainers were kind enough to help me out by giving me a Hyper Potion. Miccino'll feel better in no time!"

"I see. Thank you." He adjusts his cap and returns Samurott to its Pokéball.

"Oh, and before you go, would you be able to len- to have Braviary fly these two somewhere?"

"OK. But first, I want to talk to Y/N.

N looks at you, then back at Black. He nods.

Black leads you outside the lab.

"What did... you wanna talk about?" you ask, hands fidgeting behind your back.

He takes a deep breath, as if the fate of the world relies on what he's about to say. "Are you... I mean... Did you... I-" He scoffs at himself. "Did Colress bring you here too?"

You stand there, blinking.

"Like...are you from the other world?"

You slowly nod. "Were you dragged here as well?"

"Yeah."

"Does that mean you can confirm Colress' dying theory?" you ask hopefully.

"No, but he told me about that. If it was me, I wouldn't mind it, but I'm sure there are other trainers that would. Things weren't too great at home for me, so being able to come here was like the ultimate salvation." He rests his hands on the back of his neck. "But I can't speak for you and I can't speak for whoever else Colress brought here."

"I get that."

"But, anyways. You needed Braviary's help?"

You nod. "Yes. N and I need to get back to Icirrus City, far away from here."

He smiles. "I'll do you one better and send you to Opelucid."

Black pulls a Pokéball out of his pocket and brings out a giant bird-like Pokémon with red wings.

"Braviary," he says, patting the floof on its head. "I need you to take a couple of trainers somewhere. Can you do that for me?"

Braviary lets out a dignified caw and stretches out its wings.

Black chuckles. "OK. Thanks buddy!"

You notice how close the two seem to be. It reminds you of N's reunion with Zoroark. Maybe certain people and Pokémon are meant to be together.

N comes out from inside the lab, smiling at you. "Are we ready to go?"

Black nods. "Take good care of them, Braviary."

a. "And we'll look out for Braviary as well!"

b. "Thank you, Black."

c. "I guess we're off then."

a. "And don't worry, we'll look out for Braviary as well!" You give him a thumbs-up.

Black smiles. "Thanks, Y/N! Good luck on your trip!"

b. "Thank you, Black."

"It's no problem. We'd better help each other out anyways."

c. "I guess we're off, then."

 Black nods and adjusts his cap. "See you guys later."

With a few powerful flaps of its wings, Braviary takes off with you and N on its back.

"Hold on tight, OK?" N says to you. "I don't want you to fall."

As the wind blows at you, you wrap your arms around N's waist and rest your head against his back.

(hey it's the motorcycle thing)

The entire Unova Region stretches out beneath you, from the mountains and cities to the ocean. You can make out the bright lights of Nimbasa City as a tiny speck among the blur of other things.

There are other bird Pokémon flying alongside you, Tranquil and Unfezant and Swanna and even other Braviary. There are so many!

"You've noticed too, haven't you Y/N?" N nods at the flock of different Pokémon. "It's amazing how diverse they are! There are many other regions out there, but none of their Pokémon can be found here."

You point out an Unfezant with a purple headpiece instead of a pink one. "N look! That one's shiny!"

"Wow, it is! They say it's good luck to spot a shiny Pokémon."

Braviary caws and starts flying down at a 90 degree angle, causing you to hold N tighter.

Braviary lands in the center of a beautiful city, made of cobblestone intertwined with vines.

 There is a young girl in the center square standing by the Pokémon Center, playing an erhu, lost in the notes.

N hops off Braviary's back and offers you a hand to help you.

"Thank you, Braviary," he says. He pulls out an Oran Berry and gives it to the bird before it flies away.

A/N: eheh sorry for the short chapter. Ok so I know Black's "Canon name" is Hilbert but Hilbert is a stupid name so I went with Black. (I'm sorry if your name is Hilbert I'm sure you're a lovely person) Do y'all like Braviary? I like Braviary
