Destiny is a Funny Thing - Chapter 22 and Epilogue

Chapter 22 - A Father's Gift

"Cofagrigus stand by for battle." Ghetsis shouted and a tomb Pokémon appeared.

Cofagrigus, the Coffin Pokémon. It has been said that they swallow those who get too close and turn them into mummies. They like to eat gold nuggets.

"Espeon let's go." I shouted and Espeon appeared.
"You can do it Espeon." Lucario said and Espeon blushed but looked determined.
"Espeon use Swift." I ordered and stars shot out of Espeon's tail and hit Cofagrigus and made it fall back a bit.

"Use Shadow Ball." Ghetsis ordered and Cofagrigus threw a purple orb at Espeon.
"Dodge it and use Psybeam." I shouted and Espeon dodged in time and huge amounts of rainbow color lights shout out of her mouth and hit Cofagrigus and Cofagrigus fainted.
"Return." Ghetsis said returned the fainted Pokémon to its ball.
"Bouffalant stand by for battle." Ghetsis shouted and some kind of bull with an afro appeared.

Bouffalant, the Bash Buffalo Pokémon. Their fluffy fur absorbs damage, even if they strike foes with a fierce headbutt.

"Espeon return." I said returning Espeon back to her ball and I looked at Lucario and he nodded.
"Bouffalant use Head Charge." Ghetsis ordered and Bouffalant charged at Lucario.
"Dodge it and use Focus Punch." I ordered and Lucario jumped into the air and his paw started glowing. He punched Bouffalant in the back and Bouffalant fainted and I could see Ghetsis getting pissed ad he returned the fainted Pokémon.
"Seismitoad stand by for battle." Ghetsis shouted and some kind of weird blue frog appeared.

Seismitoad, the Vibration Pokémon. They shoot paralyzing liquid from their head bumps. They use vibration to hurt their opponents.

"Lucario use Aura Sphere." I ordered and Lucario shot out blue spheres and they hit Seismitoad and cause it to faint. Now Ghetsis was really pissed off as he recalled the fainted Seismitoad.
"Bisharp stand by for battle." Ghetsis shouted and some kind of action figured/ space man Pokémon appeared.

Bisharp, the Sword Blade Pokémon. It leads a group of Pawniard. It battles to become the boss, but will be driven from the group if it loses.

"Lucario come back." I said and Lucario came back and stood next to me as I threw a ball into the air.
"Come out Pansear." I shouted and Pansear appeared.
"Bisharp use Night Slash." Ghetsis ordered.
"Dodge it and surround yourself with flames." I ordered and Pansear moved to the right and surrounded himself with flames.
"Use Fire Blast." I ordered and huge amounts of flames came out of Pansear's mouth and surrounded Bisharp. When the flames disappeared Bisharp had fainted. Ghetsis called it back and grabbed another Pokeball.
"Eelektross stand by for battle." Ghetsis shouted and some weird green eel appeared.

Eelektross, the Elefish Pokémon. They crawl out of the ocean using their arms. They will attack prey on shore and immediately drag it into the ocean.

"Eelektross use Crunch." Ghetsis ordered and Eelektross's teeth began to glow white and he bit into Pansear's arm.
"Pansear use Flame Thrower in Eelektross's face." I ordered and Pansear shot flames at Eelektross's face and Eelektross had let go and fainted due to the flames overwhelming it.
"That's it!" Ghetsis shouted in fury after recalling his fainted Pokémon.
"Hydreigon stand by for battle." Ghetsis shouted and a dragon with three heads appeared. I felt N freeze behind me and he grabbed my hand and held it tightly. I gave his hand a squeeze and smiled at him as he let it go.
"Pansear return." I said and grabbed my Pokedex and pointed it at it.

Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokémon. This brutal Pokémon travels the skies on its six wings. Anything that moves seems like a foe to it, triggering its attack.

"Wow he doesn't sound nice." I commented and looked at Lucario.
"Let's do this" I said and he nodded and went in front of me.
"Hydreigon use Fire Blast." Ghetsis ordered and Hydreigon shot huge flames that spread out like a fiery star at Lucario.
"Lucario use Metal Claw and slash through the flames." I ordered and Lucario's spikes on his hand expanded and he slashed through the flames with ease.

"Hydreigon use Focus Blast" Ghetsis ordered while I said at the same time.
"Aura Sphere." I shouted and both attacks created an explosion and it was a bit before I could see Hydreigon fainted on the ground. Lucario was standing tall and proud and Ghetsis had a look of shock and fury as he returned Hydreigon to his ball.
"What?! I created Team Plasma with my own hands. I'm absolutely perfect! I AM PERFECTION! I am the perfect ruler of this world!" Ghetsis shouted as Drayden and Brycen appeared.

"Take him." Alder ordered and Drayden and Brycen grabbed each side of Ghetsis's arm.
"Since I couldn't become the hero an obtain Zekrom myself... I prepared someone for that purpose-N!" Ghetsis exclaimed as he was being taken away.
"Wait." I said and they stopped and Ghetsis looked at me with amusement in his eyes.
"He is nothing more than a freak without a human heart. Do you think you're going to get through to a warped person like that?" He asked me and I glared at him.
"He has a heart, unlike you." I told him and he smirked.
"Take him away." I said looking away and Drayden and Brycen took Ghetsis out of the room and I looked at Alder who was looking at N.
"Now, N... do you still think Pokémon and people should be separated?" Alder asked and N nodded.

"N... I'm sure you have much to think about. I know you were not pursuing ideals because of Ghetsis's manipulation, but because your heart was truly inspired. That is why Zekrom chose you." Alder said and N looked at him confused and guilt ridden.
"But... I do not deserve to be the hero! I am not worthy of Zekrom!" N exclaimed.
"N, even if we don't understand each other, that's not a reason to reject each other. There are two sides to this argument. I'm sure White would disagree with you and say you deserve to be the hero. Give it some thought." Alder said and then looked at me with a smile on his face.

"Your father would be proud of you." He smiled and him and Cheren left until it was just Lucario, Reshiram, Zekrom, N and myself.
"What will you do now?" I asked N, turning to face him.
"The Champion has forgiven me, and... what I should do now is something for me to decide myself" N said and I smiled and kissed his cheek. He smiled sadly at me and moved away which caused me to frown.
"White, you said you have a dream... that dream... make it come true. Make your wonderful dream a reality, and it will become your truth" He said and I realized what he was doing.
"N." I whispered as tears fell down my face.

"White is anyone can, it's you!" He said walked towards Zekrom.
"Farewell, my dear White." He said and I ran over to him and hugged his back tightly.
"You can't go." I whispered and he turned and kissed my lips gently but passionately.
"I have to, I want to fix my sins from the past." He whispered and kissed me again.
"Tell me that you wish me luck." N said and I nodded.
"Good luck." I whispered and he smiled and kissed my lips again and I saw tears coming down his eyes as well.
"I love you White Rowan." He said.

"I love you N Harmonia." I said and N kissed me one last time before getting on Zekrom's back and disappearing into the sky. I fell onto my knees and cried my heart out as Reshiram enclosed me with her wings and Lucario hugged me. When I calmed down I stood up and looked at Reshiram who was watching me carefully.
"I will not force you to stay with me." I told her and she smiled.

That is fine with me, but I will always be there when you need help. I will watch over you from now on until the day you die. Just call my name and I will be there in a heartbeat. Reshiram said and I nodded and she flew off into the sky. I left the room with Lucario and met up with the others.
"What happened to N?" Cheren asked me when I appeared and I smiled weakly.
"He's gone." I told him.

Epilogue

Thanks for everyone who read my first ever fanfiction and I hope you enjoyed it. I'm writing a sequel to this called Till We Meet Again and the storyline is my own.
**************************************************************

Ghetsis and the Seven Sages went to jail and Team Plasma was disbanded. It's been a six months since the whole thing and I was packing my bags. I beat Alder and became the Champion of Unova back I gave him the title back.

"Now why are you doing that?" Alder asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.
"I want to see other regions and follow in my father's footsteps and challenge other regions." I told him and he smiled.

I went back home and chilled with mom and Cheren and Bianca. I'm packing my bag to go to Kanto and stay with Grandfather Oak before I start my journey. There only Pokémon I'll be taking on my trip is Lucario, Samurott and the others will be staying with Grandfather Oak while I travel.

Every once in a while I wonder what N is doing and where he is. I read his journal over and over again and it just makes me miss him even more.

I hope one day we'll meet again.
