I Just Met a Weirdo - 6

"I finally got my sixth gym badge!! Isn't that awesome Simipour?" I asked my Simipour cheerily.

"Simi simi!" it replied merrily as it jumped up and down. I'm taking that as a yes. I smiled back at him and patted its head as we trotted out of the gym.

"Hello again..Touko."

!!!!!

"NOT YOU AGAIN! QUIT STALKING ME!!!" I yelled. Man this guy is getting annoying. N chuckled and rubbed the back of his head.

"I told you I was merely just observing you. And speaking of observing, I saw your battle with the gym leader earlier. Quite impressive, Touko." he complimented giving me a small smile.

That made me grin.

"Weeell, that's just how I roll." I bragged, rubbing my newly obtained gym badge. N smiled again.

He sure is in a pretty good mood today.

"To understand each other, trainers struggle through battle and wound Pokémon in the process." he mumbled suddenly.

Talk about mood change.

"Am I the only one? The only one who sees how painful it is?" he asked.

"Uhh…" I was about to say.

"Regardless…I have spoken to your Pokémon. Since the day I was born, I have been
brought up by Pokémon. It's more comfortable to me than talking to people. So I know Pokémon cannot ever lie." he mused.

"Eh?" I asked. Again with the "I can speak with Pokémon" crap. Can he really understand what they say?

And to answer my question, N knelt down and faced Simipour.

"Simipour…would you tell me what kind of trainer Touko is?" he asked it gently.
And with that Simipour started to talk. Or rather..uh..what do you call Simipour language?

"I see…" N mused after Simipour finished his speech, which was really weird by the way.

"So you were born and raised in Kanoko Town together with your mother. Taking the opportunity presented to you by the Pokédex you are out on a journey to see the world. Hmm…" he uttered thoughtfully.

NO WAY! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE UNDERSTOOD THAT!!! I glared at Simipour. YA BETTER NOT HAVE TOLD HIM ANY PERSONAL STUFF OTHER THAN THAT MONKEY!!!

Simipour just stared at me innocently confused.

"Even so, your Simipour seems to believe in you. If only all people could get along with Pokémon as you all do." he muttered as he patted Simipour's head and giving it a berry in the process. Simipour munched on it happily.

I smiled at that. At least he's nicer to my Pokémon.

"Yet the fate of all humans is left in the hands of those who use Pokémon for themselves. Geechisu is having Team Plasma search for a special stone." he continued to say. "The paired Light stone and Dark stone. They are what we seek.  The bodies of the legendary Pokémon are destroyed and it sleeps in the form of a stone awaiting the hero's return.  I will revive the legendary Pokémon from its slumber, and I will befriend it, and the world will recognize me as a hero."

Not the legendary Pokémon crap again. He keeps repeating things. It's getting tiring.

"My dream is to make this world strife. If the world is changed by force, there will be those who oppose it. And when there is opposition, those wounded are the innocent Pokémon whom foolish trainers abuse. Yes, Pokémon are not playthings for people to control." he finally finished.

"Are you done with your speech?" I yawned. Boy was that long. I didn't understand much of it. "What you said was just the same as all the other things you said from our past encounters. You really don't have to repeat yourself all the time, you know."  I pointed out.

N smiled again.

"It pains me a little to separate trainers from their Pokémon where there are ones like you who respect each other." he told me, making a really cute face.

!!!

"OWW!!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" he growled clutching his sore cheek.

I couldn't help but slap him. THAT'S WHAT HE GETS FOR MAKING SUCH A CUTE FACE!!

"N-nothing! You can't just steal away trainer's Pokémon! Th-they are a symbol of our friendship! Some people may use them as toys like what you said, but the Pokémons believe in their masters and trust them no matter what! It all depends on how the trainer takes care of his Pokémon! SO YOU SHOULD JUST GIVE UP ON YOUR PLANS N!" I shouted. Actually I was just looking for an excuse, but it was perfect for our situation. And that's what on my mind anyway.

N sharpened his eyes.

He's making that creepy glare again…gulp.

"When I first saw you and first battled your Pokémon, it immediately had the impression that you would both be a strong and kind trainer. That's why I keep on following you. To see if you really are what I see. And when I heard this Simipour's confession, I immediately believed it. I wish all trainers are like you Tokou…" he confessed, as he placed his hand on my cheek.

"……"

"……"

"…uh…y-your…h-hand…"

"…"

"Tokou…I-I have something to s-say…" he stuttered, facing down, his face red all over.

"W-wh-wha…."

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FLUSTERING OVER HIM!!! Gwwuuuhhhhh…

"…"

"I-I.."


"I…I'LL SEE YOU LATER!!!! BYE!!!" he said instead and sped off.

"…"

"Simi?"

"…"

WHAT WAS HE GONNA SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????

"L-let's go S-S-Simipour…." I told him absentmindedly and walked off blindly..

SMACK!!!

…and banging on wall in the process.

"The canons too much for you little missy?"asked a concerned passerby.

"Yeah…N's stupid cannons of speech…." I groaned, eyes swirling. I can see little Pidoves swirling above me…how cute….

THUD.
