MORE UNOVA-AU STUFF

HILDA HAS MADE HER GLORIOUS RETURN

GOLD HAS APPEARED



THE SUBWAY HAS BEEN VERY RELAXED AND QUIET, BUT HOW LONG IS THAT GOING TO LAST WITH THESE TWO RECENTLY ARRIVING IN UNOVA?

[He bows his head down a little and heads on in along with Weavile. Guess it's the moment of truth, huh...

They make sure to keep quiet to avoid disturbing any Pokémon on the way.]

[nharmony]

[There's a hiss and growl, a strange creature moving in the darkness. There's flashes of red and the glint of something shiny and green before the form disappears further into the cavern, leading Silver into the buried castle ruins.]

[tsuntrader]

[...Well that's concerning. It's gone before he or Weavile react, but if it wanted to attack them it would, right?...

The two of them keep moving, but they're more cautious this time.]

[nharmony]

[It goes deeper and deeper. It finally ducks into a final room, one where light is faintly glowing from.

Inside, N is sitting at the throne, and he pets the Zoroark reassuringly. There's a party of Pokémon around him, looking pleased and tame, despite Zoroark's unsettled whining. N simply whispers to it, words spilling out swiftly despite the calm of his tone.]

Do we have a visitor? I'm not worried. With all of my friends, we will be safe.

[tsuntrader]

[Well that's not tacky at all-

...What the.]

Nice throne. [He and Weavile step up pretty cautiously; they make sure to take in the Pokémon around them before scrutinizing N more closely.]

[nharmony]

[Oh. N stands, looking rather confused.]

You certainly are not Rosa. Who are you? What has led you here?

[tsuntrader]

Name's Silver. Rosa told me about this place. I'm looking for some guy named N.

That's you, right?

[nharmony]

Rosa sent you here? Then that means that you're friendly, at least.

[N relaxes, and touches Zoroark, who relaxes in turn and shifts to disappear into the shadows.]

Why are you looking for me? I'm not interested in battling, and if you have reasons beyond that--

[This guy is just babbling at a mile a minute]

[tsuntrader]

Hey, hey, slow down. [Yep, he definitely fits the description-]

I'm not here for a battle. I was just wondering if you knew Hilda.

[nharmony]

I don't know where she is, if that's what you're asking of me. I'm surprised that someone would come to me to ask such a thing.

[tsuntrader]

I do. ...Kind of. She's been looking for you.

[nharmony]

She has?

[tsuntrader]

Duh. You sounded pretty important to her when she described you.

[nharmony]

I see.

[Well! He turns pink, at that. There's a snicker-like trill from his ninetales.]

If you know where she is, then, I suppose I should go out to meet her. But facing her again after all this time... I'm not sure I'm ready for it.

[tsuntrader]

That's fine. I've got no idea where she is right now.

[But he's pulling out his Pokégear--!]

[nharmony]

[It doesn't register exactly to N that Silver may be calling Hilda. (And is of course being met with a turned-off phone message)

So in the meantime, he scratches his Arcanine's chin as it lowly barks and bellows at him, and he begins conversation with it.]

[tsuntrader]

[Which was predicted, because she's about as good as keeping her phone on as he is.

So he sneaks in a quick picture of N- sorry dude, no privacy allowed- before texting her.

This is N, right? I'm leaving my phone on. Call me.

Alright, done, now to turn his attention to what he's... doing...

...Dude water u doin]

[nharmony]

[He am Pokémon Whisperer]

[tsuntrader]

...Are you reading their thoughts?

[nharmony]

Hmm? No, they're talking to me. I hear their voices and understand them. I've always been able to.

[tsuntrader]

[...] What are they saying?

[nharmony]

They're talking about you. Arcanine is curious about your scent, and he knows that you have a lot of Pokémon that you live with.

You've entrapped them in PokéBalls, of course...

[tsuntrader]

[Well then. That's nice.]

...Why wouldn't I? It keeps them safe.

[nharmony]

It's stifling. It's not needed.

[A slight sigh.]

Someday humanity and Pokémon will come to understand each other well enough to not need such things.

1/2

[tsuntrader]

...You don't get it.

[He pulls out Gyarados' Pokéball and lets him out.

He's easily double the size of the average Gyarados, if not larger.]
