We don't set a time for us all to get up and decide to sleep in the next morning. It's now 12 o'clock and we're getting our stuff back together.
"You okay?" Rosa asks me.
Since I woke up, I've been shaking. I guess I'm more nervous than I originally thought, either that or I'm really excited. I can't get my feelings in check. I can't help but think of negative things. Will he wanna see me? Will he push me away? Will he ignore me? Will he even come? Will he remember me? Even I knew that last one was a stupid question along with all the rest of them, but I couldn't help but think them... I'm not good at being a positive person when it comes to things like this.
"Y-yeah..." I stutter out.
She gives me a smile and returns back to doing whatever she was doing before. "You look nervous. I'm sure he's going to show up and love to see you."
"D-do you really think that?"
"I'm sure of it. He always talked about you. The question is, why wouldn't he want to see you?"
"Y-yeah..." I can't stop myself from shaking. Arceus, I'm such an idiot! I shouldn't be this unprotected and showing this side to them! I'm the Champion for Arceus sakes!
"Even the Champion needs to let loose once in a while."
"Are you like reading my mind or something?"
She laughs. "No, it's just written all over your face."
"Oh..." I don't normally do that. I usually keep my emotions in check. Is this how N makes me feel? I've fallen this hard in love!?
She finishes what she's doing and turns to me. "You ready to go get breakfast? Nate, Lucario, and the rest are all there already."
"Yeah, alright."
We both get up and walk out the door into the booth that contains Lucario and Nate.
"You guys are finally up?" Nate asks.
"She sleeps till 1 or 2 usually," Lucario says and points at me.
"Really?! Dang!" Nate says.
"I usually catch up on Champion work at night."
"That sucks," Nate says.
"Yeah," I agree.
Nurse Joy walks over and places our breakfast in front of us. "This morning we have eggs and bacon along with milk to wash it down. I hope none of you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian."
"This is perfect!" Rosa and I shout out.
"That's great, have a good meal," she says and walks away.
"Sunny side up, just the way I like it!" I say and begin eating my food as well as Rosa.
"So after breakfast, are we going to go awaken Zekrom?" Nate asks.
"That sounds like a good idea. Rosa, you ready to catch him?" I ask.
"Reammdyaseeevrrrgh!" Rosa says with her mouth full.
"Don't talk with your mouth full!" Nate fusses.
She swallows. "I said 'ready as ever', can you hear?"
"I'm pretty sure nobody understood what you said with your mouth full," Nate says annoyed.
"On top of that it's gross," Lucario says.
"Well, sooorrry!" Rosa complies.
We laugh.
"But seriously, are you ready?" I ask.
"I'm ready. The question is, are you?" she asks.
The question catches me off guard, but I regain my composure. "I believe so."
Nate says something else, but I don't hear him as my attention was drawn to Nurse Joy, who's walking with a tray of food towards the rooms. (There's somebody else here? Well, that would explain why we got room 2... I wonder if I know who's in that room?)
"White! Hello? Earth to Champion White? White?!" Nate yells.
I jump a little and turn to him. "Sorry, did you say something?"
"You okay? You zoned out on us," Nate says worriedly.
"I'm fine, just was thinking," I say.
"Oh," Nate says with relief.
...
After about 30 minutes, Rosa and I finish our food. We return all our Pokémon to their pokeballs, except for Lucario, of course, and take our leave towards Dragonspiral Tower.
We turn right from the Pokémon Center and make our way up, passing by a group of 4 friends twirling around in a circle while turning in circles. Then we pass by a woman with a parasol and the old gym. We travel through the entrance of trees to Dragonspiral Tower.
It looks the same as before same broken down pillars and the man-made stairway built by Team Plasma when N was going to capture Zekrom 2 and a half years ago.
We continue up the stairs into the tower to the first floor.
Again it looks exactly the same as before except it seems brighter.
All 4 of us walk along the aqua tiles onto the next set of stairs and to the next floor. We continue along and walk towards the big boulder ahead.
"Well, great, how are we supposed to get around this?" Nate complains.
"We have to use the move strength," I say.
"My Stoutland knows that move!" Nate exclaims.
"Then come on! Let him out!" Rosa shouts at him.
"Okay, okay, sheesh..." Nate says annoyed and grabs Stoutland's pokeball, tossing it out revealing him. "Strength!"
"Stout!!" he calls and pushes the large boulder into the hole that was in front of it.
Once Stoutland finishes, Nate returns him and we continue up to the next floor.
We turn to our right and travel up the long, curved staircase onto a platform that has many smaller platforms all in front of it with little ledges going on to each one. We take the only one we can and run into another problem.
"Which way do we go?" Nate says frustrated.
"I guess we each can take one and see where it leads to," I say and choose the farthest one, Nate chooses the middle, and Rosa takes the closest.
"Alright, let's see, who's the winner," Rosa says and we hop over our first ledge onto the next platform.
I hop over two more ledges and it seems as if mine was the one that won, since Lucario and I are clearly the only ones at the stairs. Rosa's path went in a circle and Nate ended up starting all over.
"It's the path I took," I call out.
"Stupid tower!" Nate fusses.
They eventually make it to us and we continue up the next set of curved stairs.
This floor seems easier as we just walked up a small staircase that was laid out in front of us. After that, we turned left and up another small staircase, then right and up another small staircase, then another right and up a staircase, then finally we turn left and are up into the next floor.
"Why do I have the feeling that the next floor is gonna be even more confusing than that other one?" Rosa asks to no one in particular.
"That's because it is," Lucario says.
"Dammit!" Nate sighs.
The next floor opens up a room with 4 platforms in the shape of a circle with one inside the next from large to small. There are little bridges connecting the pieces, but some ledges and walls prevent you from going a certain way making everything more difficult.
We eventually make it to the next set of stairs to the next level after a mentally frustrated breakdown from Nate.
Now on the 6th floor, we turn right and I stop walking, recalling the memory of the shaking ground and the sound of something that seemed like it was on a rampage at the top of the tower.
"You okay?" Rosa asks.
"Yeah... This place is just full of memories..."
"Alright..." they say unsure.
We continue and turn left then once again I stop, recalling the memories here.
*Flashback*
"It's finally time. Our lord N will become the hero!" Giallo, one of the Seven Sages, says and then realizes I'm there. "What?! Someone made it clear up here?! Now! Stop that trainer! For our lord N!" He scurries back and one of the Team Plasma grunts grabs me and forces me out a little. The three other grunts get on every side of me. "Everyone who isn't Team Plasma is an enemy! Use all your powers to take them out!"
"Not one can interfere with Unova's new dawn!" the grunt that pulled me says and our battle begins.
He had a Watchog and a Krokorok, which I easily defeated.
"Our dream is about to come true! No one will be able to stop us!" the next guy I'm about to fight says.
He only had a Krokorok, which of course I defeated with ease.
"Here I come! Plasmaaaa!!" the 3rd guy I'm battling shouts. His Pokémon consisted of Trubbish and Liepard. Both of which were defeated by yours truly.
"Bring it on! Can you take on four in a row?" All of his Pokémon consisted of a single Watchog. Of course, defeated.
They couldn't believe that only a child, well, compared to them, could defeat them so easily and all in a row with no breaks. They all cautiously take a step away from me. Then I continued to the top.
*End of Flashback*
I shake my head and come back to the present and notice Rosa and Nate staring at me in concern.
"Sorry, I'm fine, just recalling the memories," I say and continue up the last set of stairs to the very top with everyone following behind me.
I remember walking up and seeing N staring up at Zekrom. I couldn't believe my eyes then, but now...
The tower begins to shake once Rosa travels deeper into the last floor.
"What's happening!?" Nate shouts.
"My bag is wiggling!" Rosa shouts and pulls out the Dark Stone. The whole room turns white and the Dark Stone absorbs the surrounding area, sucking in immense dark power, causing Zekrom to appear. Zekrom notices me and seems as if a look of shock crosses his face then he smiles, at least I think so; I smile back.
I walk over behind him out to the edge of the roof that gives you a good view of Unova and Lucario sits beside me, our legs dangling off the side. Then we wait till Rosa's done battling Zekrom and finally catches him.
...
N's POV
It's 12:45 am and I could feel Zekrom call out to me. I'm guessing Rosa just entered Dragonspiral Tower.
"Zoroark, it's time. Let's go," I say and we leave the room, I grab my team from the pc, exit the Pokémon Center, and make our way to Dragonspiral Tower.
...
White's POV
I listen to the battle happening behind me just waiting for it to be over.
I collect my breath and slowly breathe in and out. I'm scared, nervous, worried, and excited all at the same time.
The roars cease and the room stops shaking and I assume the battle is finally over.
I turn around to see Rosa walking up claiming her new Pokémon. "Whoo hoo!" she cheers.
"Good job!" I say cheerfully.
"Great job, Rosa!" Nate cheers.
I look at all the scattered broken pokeballs, ultra balls, great balls, and a few others she used, spread throughout the floor. Then each one begins to disappear to some unknown place. I look at the pokeball she used to discover an ultra ball. Good choice.
"Congratulations, you've caught Zekrom," a new, more soft, mellow, sweet voice says.
Rosa and Nate swirl around to catch site of the person I've been looking for, for two and a half years. He's standing right over there.
The man, the one I love the one I've been searching for, is standing right there. The man with the long tea green hair and green eyes. The same outfit, black long sleeve shirt with white long sleeve shirt over top, tan pants, green tennis shoes, the famous black and white hat, and his little accessories; the dangling cube at his side, necklace, and the wrist bracelets. All the things that made the man that I fell in love with.
"N..." Rosa says.
He looks from Nate to Rosa with a smile. " I believe he will be happier being with you and-" I stand up causing N to stop talking and glance over at me. His eyes widen and he cautiously walks forward, walking past Rosa and Nate without even acknowledging them, and keeps going; eyes locked with mine the whole time. Tears begin streaming down my face for no apparent reason. "White..." he whispers.
Lucario stands up and walks over towards Nate and Rosa. "Let's leave them alone," he says and ushers them out. Zoroark follows behind them.
N slowly makes his way over to me, never dropping his gaze, and stands right in front of me; green eyes staring into my blue. He stares at me for a second before he gently touches my cheek as if to see I'm actually there. I lean into his hand. Once he realizes that it's actually me, he quickly pulls me into a hug and squeezes me as tight as he can as if I'm going to slip from his grasp. I place my hands on his arms and just cry into his chest.
"White... This is a surprise to see you here... So... We Meet Again... at long last..." he says sniffling, telling me that he's crying as well. "I've missed you... so very much..."
