Anxiety Trials is a Pokemon Special sandbox RP. We are a friendly, no-fuss site where you don't have to worry about posting 24/7, but when you've got the muse. We are based loosely around the Pokemon Special/Adventures manga, though set in a slightly alternate universe. If you're looking for a fun place to explore what life with Pokemon would be like, hopefully we're the place for you!

The Zoroark meanwhile released his hold on his Trainer from where he had been clinging to the front so he stood back on the ground and peered around, checking if there was any danger for the one he swore to protect, the very same one that had protected him and befriended him when he had been getting abused by his previous trainer. The fur on his back nearly stood on edge at the remembrance. The Illusion Pokemon relaxed when there was nothing and happily nuzzled the hand that raised to pet him, it was good to be back in familiar surroundings. The other Regions had been something as well though, but he found that he liked this better than anything.
N, himself, looked around as well. The smile widening for a moment. An innocent expression on his features and then it was locked away. He was not used to showing emotions yet, especially when anyone else but his friends could see. It was a scary thought, but that was okay, maybe he would meet Black or White again. The poke ball that he never used seemed to stir ever so lightly and he took it from his belt, cupping his hands around it and placing his forehead against it "You may go soon.." He spoke softly toward the Legendary that was confined in the device "But not right now, not right now..." He said mournfully. The white dragon stirred again, it seemed and he carefully placed the poke ball back on his belt. He really hated those poke balls but there was no other way to keep the Legendary from causing destruction when it met the keeper of Zekrom.
A light arching of his back, arms behind him and he mentioned to Zoroark. The black fox followed him easily, saying something at which N laughed softly and his fingers raised again to run through the thick mane of the Pokemon. A fond smile once more on his features and the fox actually nudged him with a shoulder, nearly toppling the green-haired Trainer over.

"Jessica slow down! If you don't we're going to crash into a wall again!" At White's words, the Buck Pokemon slowed down, full on bounds and hops turning into slower steps, the Pokemon now seeming overly-cautious. White rested the front side of her body on Jessica's neck, draping her arms over the deer's antlers. She breathed in and let the breath out entirely in one long sigh.
"At least you always do better at getting me around... Remember when we tried teaching Barbara to carry me around?" She felt Jessica shiver and that answered a simple question. Of course she remembered, because Barbara had been so displeased with White trying to ride the skies, that she disappeared for three days and came back only to give Amanda and herself a nice wallop for even letting White try such a thing.
"Well, at least we learned a valuable lesson right? No making Barbara angry...especially since she's been touchy ever since she evolved...is that like a Pokemon's time of month?"
"Saws..." Jessica groaned as they continued on, not wishing to hear any more of White's babbling. White quieted and removed herself from her comfortable position, glancing up at the sky from the Sawsbuck's back. She wondered how Black and N were these days, since she hadn't seen much of either. The last time she saw Black? Well, too long ago. And what about N? The guy just up and disappeared for two years! She was even a little mad at him. They had just become friends and then he went off on some random escapade?
"....That Moron!" She cried out suddenly, making Jessica stop just so she could turn to look back at her with an eyebrow raised. Covering her mouth, the excitable girl let out a nervous chuckle.
"Sorry, don't know what got into me!" Maybe somewhere deep in her head she understood why N had taken off. Maybe she knew that he just wanted to be alone, and maybe understanding he had been alone for years, she shouldn't have been so upset about it, but that was the natural White for you.
Quite a while ago it seemed, she thought of N as an enemy, along with Gigi who had decided to join him those few years ago, but she hadn't seen Gigi more than once after that. She though maybe N did what he did with most Pokemon and let her go when she was strong enough, but she couldn't be mad at him for that any longer. After all, in exchange for Gigi, she had gotten Amanda, who served her just as loyally as anyone else since the day he gave her to her.
"Well, wherever he is, I hope he knows I'm going to have to kill him when I see him again..." she mentioned out loud, not noticing that Jessica had been stopped for a while now. White blinked and leaned over to try and see past Jessica's head.
"Jess? What's the hold....up?" trailing off as she spotted a familiar green haired man and his Pokemon.
"....N?" She said loudly, hoping he could hear her. Once she was sure it was him, she quickly found her voice taking an angry tone.
"N, why you jerk!" she started as she hopped off of Jessica's back, the deer following as if unsure of what exactly her trainer was going to do. White stalked up to him and poked one of her fingers against his chest a few times.
"Just where the heck have you been for two years?" She demanded, her feet nearly rooted to the spot as she glared up at him.
[/style][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][style=font-size:9px; line-height: 13px; background-color: #ececec; color: #1f1f1f; padding: 5px; width: 280px; text-align:justify; height: 309px; text-transform: lowercase; overflow: auto; float:right;]He stopped at hearing a familiar call behind his back, his shoulders tensing ever so lightly and mouth slackening in shock. He hadn't expected to hear that voice so soon after returning and he had actually planned to seek her out on his own time, not be forced in this sudden meeting. He had hoped to actually meet Black again first, he knew the younger male better than N did her. He soon collected himself again and turned around, a smile actually lightly curling the corners of his mouth, although he was still wary of her. He had stolen her Pokemon from her once, although the pig Pokemon had chosen that fate herself and if she had to use N to achieve that goal. Who was he to say no to such a strong voice? He couldn't, not at all "White.." He spoke back in greeting. The Zoroark by his side peering from behind him and giving a curious stare. He soon moved though, clearly intent on protecting his trainer if it was needed.
N actually moved back when a finger poked in his chest and his eyebrows furrowed for a moment in something that could've been confusion. He took a few steps back and rubbed at the spot that she had touched, it didn't hurt, but it certainly had been felt. The Zoroark still shot her dark glares, nearly baring his teeth toward her and a hand on the fox's mane calmed it down again, although it still looked like it wanted to squirm between the two to push White away. He then paid attention to what she had said and he swallowed, trying to wet a suddenly dry throat. He also was insulted, but considering what he had done, leaving so abruptly, he thought that he deserved that. Yet the words struck something in him, it didn't hurt exactly, but it left an uncomfortable feeling "I'm sorry.." He spoke in the silence after her furious words. He looked down, pretty much looking like a chastised child.
The green haired trainer kept listening, before eyes flickered ever so shyly upward and he shrugged a shoulder "Here and there." He replied, before his eyes suddenly brightened and a smile stretched his lips again. He nearly grabbed her hands to express his joy, but luckily he managed to keep from doing so. He had seen so much and he simply had to share it. The Zoroark seemed to know of this and rolled his eyes, before walking over to the Sawbuck, deciding that the other Pokemon was currently far more interesting now that his trainer wasn't in any threat of bodily harm "I'vebeentoKanto,alltheforeignpokemonoverthere." He started explaining, eyes brightening even more if it was possible "AndinJohtoandHoenn." He jumped up and down on the ball off his feet. His green hair swaying with the movement and he absently patted it down, tugging the hat back in place.
While he spoke rapidly, he suddenly seemed to realize that he spoke far too quick and made an attempt to speak slower, even if it barely worked. The smile barely faded, although it thinned somewhat "Next time I'll take you along!" He crowded out, almost again stumbling over his words "Oh, and Black too, of course!" He nodded to himself, before looking straight at her. The smile widening once more "I think you would love them! He nodded his head to himself once more "Maybe Sinnoh first, that doesn't seem too terrible far.." He was already trailing off. The Zoroark meanwhile slowly decided that it was maybe a good idea to wander back to his Trainer.

She was so upset with him that it wouldn't have mattered if N had his Reshiram friend protecting him, she most likely wouldn't have backed down. Jessica wasn't sure if she should try and calm the upset female, or if she should just remove herself from the equation completely, but the latter sounded very, very right at the moment. After all, why place herself into the doghouse for someone she didn't know?
As N apologized, she was about to tell him she didn't care how sorry he was. She didn't care if he was on his knees right now, he'd need the Pokegods themselves to come rescue him! Until he started chattering excitedly. She glanced up as he explained how he had been to the other regions, though it was hard to understand his fast-paced speech, she was making due. Her hard expression finally softened, and one of Jessica's ears rose up as Zoroark came closer to her, inspecting her almost. She looked back at the Pokemon but didn't make much of a budge.
"You...just- you just tell us next time!" she warned before her voice lost all hints of its angry tone. She wasn't sure if Black had been wondering where N was, but knowing him he might have even thought of it in passing. Jessica nudged her in the back, reminding her to respond to what the rest of N had said.
"I think I'd like that. Despite looking like a seasoned traveler I've never been out of the Region." She mentioned, almost as if she was drifting with the very thought? What were other regions aside from Unova like? They probably held even more mystique than it did. Suddenly thinking of something, she pulled out a Pokeball.
"Oh, look!" she tossed the Pokeball into the air, the light forming into Amanda, her trustable Serperior. The last time N had seen her, would have been when she was a Servine, and White was indeed very pleased with her progress.
"She's getting better and better with every day!" White commented, pleased as the royal snake coiled lightly around her, investigating N with sharp, yet recognizing crimson eyes. "Serrph..." she hissed kindly, though her expression was as blank as it usually was. White reached up and scratched the Serperior on the side of the head.
"And Black, I think he's been doing okay...I mean, I haven't talked to him very recently, so that report is as of a few months ago." She mentioned, suddenly feeling that same sore feeling she had felt upon first seeing N, just a tad bit stronger. Yes, of course she'd have to kill him now too. Though knowing Black, he was probably out training somewhere in the Region's confines. Not wanting N to leave so soon, she piped up.
"You know, don't think I forgot how upset I am with you." she chided lightly, closing her eyes and looking away from him with a slight 'Hmph'.
"However....I might be swayed to see past that if we could grab a bite someplace." she mentioned, still holding onto Amanda lightly as she cracked one eye open to glance at N.

He did not want her to think that he disliked her, which he had almost done when they had first met after seeing the absolutely horrid show that she had forced on the little fire Pokemon. He was better at relaxing soon though than the fox Pokemon was and actually seemed to perk up as it was indeed White and not some stranger. His quick words proved that he was comfortable, after all.
It seemed that his chattering had distracted the female Trainer, which was fortunate, although N was not entirely aware that he was doing such a thing to be entirely honest. He was just happy to spill out the words that had threatened to escape for weeks now. He hadn't trusted anyone enough to do such a thing before, while he had spoken with others, it hadn't sparked something like it had done with the two Trainers he had met in this Region and thus she was the first to hear his tirade about all the beautiful places he had seen. He absolutely adored them, actually. Not that he would say such a thing out loud, but they felt the same, right? Otherwise they wouldn't be angry at him and show such concern. Oh yes, he could see that in humans now.
He stopped some of his tirade, until it slowed and then entirely stopped and he nodded his head ever so lightly "Of course!" He replied, rocking slightly back and forth once more. He bobbed his head "I'll take you with us.." He echoed once more. For a lack of anything else to say.
The Trainer shook his head lightly, frowning and leaning forward, nearly lowering himself to her height "It's a shame." He commented "They're beautiful to behold." He continued, his excitement making him speak a little faster again. His body bouncing once more and that seemed to do the trick for Zoroark who stopped giving the suspicious looks toward the woman and started preening himself, noticing that the Sawbuck had not much attention for him either.
A small cry actually escaped the older Trainer, even though the pokeball had made him tense faintly again. The welcome sight of the grass snake Pokemon was eagerly met, she scratched him and soon he took over the job and gently moved his fingers over the smooth hide of the Pokemon. The smile renewing itself on his features "She looks good.." He commented, the highest praise someone could receive from him. The Serperior also told him that she was happy where she was and that made N all the happier. It felt like nothing could make this day go bad anymore. It seemed like he met more and more old friends, which warmed his heart, as it would do anyone.
Yet it wasn't hard to notice that he still warmed up quicker to Pokemon than humans. Although it was immensely better than a few years ago. Even he could see that. He looked up when she spoke about Black and nodded his head lightly, eyes wide and curious, eager to know how they were all doing. He leaned back, not planning to leave, although she seemed to think so, not that he was aware of her thoughts.
He blinked his eyes toward her, upset? Oh.. Oh right. She had yelled at him not moments before. He gave her a rueful smile "I'm sorry." He spoke again, although it didn't seem to do much. He looked confused when she turned her head away and gave him a hmph, his hand nearly extending to touch her shoulder, to make sure that she was okay. She spoke again before he could do so however, and his hand fell back to his side just before her eye opened and he blinked again "S...Sure?" He stammered.

From his nervous stammer, White already knew something was going on with N. She felt like he wasn't telling her something, but she didn't know what it was. She turned away, a smirk playing on her lips. Well this could be fun. She loved messing with her friends from time to time, and N would probably be funnier. Of course, she didn't want to insult him or anything, so she wouldn't taking too far. Playing none the wiser, she allowed a smile to cross her face as she turned back to him. "Mmm..Awesome, come on then!" She rounded him she she was at his back, and nudged him lightly to get him moving before falling into step with him. Jessica rolled her eyes and Amanda looked on curiously, bur neither of them really wanted to become involved in their trainer's antics. Instead, the two began moving after them, Jessica already wishing she was back inside her Pokeball.
"I know this place not to far from here, it's pretty great. I went there with Black last year, and it had the most awesome buffet setting!...of course, Dorothy ate a lot more than I intended to pay for...ah...so did Black, but that's alright!" She explained cheerfully, not bothering to ask if anything was wrong with him. Of course, she herself had money, so paying for both of them to eat would be no problem if what she suspected was true. But...now that she had a more up close, non angry look at him.
"....N..." she asked soberly, the hint of playfulness in her voice missing. "Have you been eating enough? You look a lot thinner." She was more concerned than anything as the entered a small town area. Jessica gave a soft huff. White really was bouncing around with her emotions today. Well, Amanda had expected it. White had actually been fairly upset when N left.
She remembered that White told her she was mad, mad because he just up and left and hadn't even told Black where he was off too. The day she watched him leave the ruined castle, she thought he might hang around, but no. She had made an effort to get to know him, and he just vanished. Now he was back and she had the chance to become closer with him. After all, despite having people to talk to, Amanda knew that more or less, the only people she considered actual friends were Black, and somehow, N.
"...and then Nancy...That's my Alomomoma- she jumped so far out of the water, I really thought she was trying to imitate that Emolga!" As it turned out, Amanda had missed quite the...awesome story. Poor N, but not so poor her, she decided. White turned and recalled both of her Pokemon, each being too large for the small buffet.
"Well, here we are, quaint isn't it?" she asked, sighing contently as she thought of actually getting in there and eating.

She seemed to bounce from one edge to another without any prior warning. It left him baffled and wondering what he had to do. He wasn't made to deal with this. She smiled when she turned back to face him and his own uncertain smile crossed his features while he still pondered if running wasn't the better idea to do. She was a friend though, or someone that he could see as one very soon. It made other worries stir, of course, ones he didn't want to think about for too long. He had no concept what friends did and he didn't think that White would like if he pounced on her to roll around in the dirt. Pokemon were far easier to understand in that aspect.
His head twisted to keep watching her, tense once more and N's Zoroark growled slowly again, especially when she nudged his Trainer and waited for the slight exhale that would betray if his Trainer was in pain, but it didn't come and the Pokemon was startled. The green haired male took the hint however and started walking "Alright.." He murmured, because he couldn't exactly protest anymore, especially when she started walking next to him. He looked at Zoroark over his shoulders and that look was enough to make the fox Pokemon move after them, digging daggers in the female's back.
N noticed that she spoke again and turned his attention to her, being quite the attentive listener at times, when he wished to be. He had started smiling softly again, he found, her... eagerness for this place jumping over to him "Alright." He agreed once more, but his voice sounded stronger this time. He was.. excited to see this place that she described. His worries seemed to fall further and further away, even the bounce was back in his steps and once more he was tempted to run and act childish as he looked around himself. He didn't see the look that she shot him again, otherwise he would've been feeling awkward again.
"Yes?" He questioned, when his name was spoken, this time his attention turned to her fully again. The playfulness had faded and he caught up on that. It sounded so different than her usual voice that he could have done nothing else but notice. He blinked at the question "Oh..." He spoke up, blinking once more "Yes?" He wasn't even sure if he had been eating enough, most of what he had been eating was from the nature, like berries and roots. The Zoroark sighed and nudged his Trainer from behind, making the youth nearly stumble again, when N looked back he caught the disapproving look and once more he could do nothing more than to give a rueful look.
Then she started talking about her adventures and he laughed again "I wish I could've seen it." He spoke, a light note in his voice and was tempted to share his own stories from his travels and the many new friends he had made on said travels. When he noticed that the other Trainer recalled her Pokemon, he looked mournfully toward Zoroark who stepped forward and nudged the pokeball himself and allowed himself to confined in a small ball. N was tempted to take it from his belt and hold it close, like it was the most precious treasure and to him, it was.
She spoke again and he nodded once more "It does." He agreed. [/style][atrb=style,][style=background-color:#ececec; font-size:9px; text-align: justify; padding: 5px; width:410px; link-transform: lowercase; border-left: #8daa00 solid 5px; ]

She hadn't eaten all morning, and she was in fact quite hungry. With a rather cheery smile, she gripped N's wrist and led him forwards, stopping when the lady at the desk asked her for the charge, which was about 120 even for each. That wasn't a lot to Pokemon trainers though, since well even a Pokeball costed more than that half the time. Winking slightly at N, hoping to let him know that she hadn't expected him to pay, and pulled out a couple of bills, one of the last in her wallet for the time being. It was okay though, her mom had some of her money at home.
The waitress led the two inside, to the many booths that rested inside. Seating them at one, she told them they could help themselves whenever they were ready. White leaned back and took in some of the nice smells of the place, nearly shivering in delight. There was no way she loved food as much as Black did, but she was a close second. She actually could wait to get up and go fill her plate, no matter if it looked strange to her company that such a lean girl could consume so much.
"Sorry if I scared you with this sudden wanting to go out and eat, bur I figured we could use the time to catch up." She mentioned with a slight hint of cheer. Was White one weird woman to decipher? Well, of course. Standing up, she contained her glee and called to N.
"Come on, let's go grab some stuff! I need you to tell me more about Kanto too! It's always been my favorite place to hear about!" she mentioned as she walked towards the various carts of food and easily began filling her plate. It wasn't often she got to come here, and she fondly remembered how she and some of her old friends used to hold eating contests down at the old buffet. Humming a bit, she picked up a piece of bread and placed it down on top of a mound of other stuff, watching N like she was waiting for him to pick something.
"So, Kanto, how about it?"she questioned eagerly as she picked up a spoonful of some kind of cheese dish.

Yet because every time that he had seen something on the TV, it was the male doing the paying and everything. He was thrown for a loop again and that kept him silent, even when the wink was aimed his way. The very same wink that made him flush a gentle red. She was.. a strange Trainer, he finally thought to himself, but that didn't stop him from following her and looking around the room. Then both were seated and he stared at her for a moment, wondering what they would do now.
Because even after his travel, he didn't feel very hungry. He saw her sniff at the air and he lifted his head to the side, a bemused expression on his features. However he didn't comment on it and once more looked around, spotting all of the food lying there and then the meat. He grimaced to himself and suddenly felt squishy and hoped that she wouldn't force the issue. He had never been able to eat it, then he looked at White, somewhat hoping that she wouldn't comment on it and maybe even not eat meat herself.
Chuckling now, he shook his head faintly "That's okay, I don't mind." He spoke up, shrugging a single shoulder "And catching up is good.." He was glad that he at least knew this phrase, otherwise he only would have shot her another confused look. He saw her walk to the food stand and swallowed some nerves down and stood up himself.
Deciding that following her once more wouldn't stop him, following her when she went for some food and pointedly looking away from whatever looked like some kind of meat. Still the rest was overwhelming, especially after having lived two years upon only things what nature had to offer. Yet he couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm soon enough "Alright." He nodded his head a few times, before pondering what he should start with. His hands automatically grabbing some food, luckily none that contained meat, which was far and few between. It was to say that his plate was a lot smaller than White's.
Eventually he started speaking "Well.." He started, before pausing, once more thinking over his words "It has a lot of interesting places, but especially the towns." He continued, smiling faintly "They look older!" It wasn't that surprising, considering that Unova was said to be one of the latest Regions to be populated, at least he thought it was "The Pokecenters and markets are separated." He continued, that had been a huge shock. He had looked around, hoping to spot the men standing in every Pokecenter to sell potions and what not. He had been more shocked when they told him that it was in a separate building. The food he had picked for himself forgotten for the moment.

Separated? Was that even possibly. Recovering from her rather tense composure, she finished the last detail of her plate and headed back to the table, sliding into the booth and waiting for N to do the same before she let a breath of air go. "Separated? Are you serious? That seems like a lot more of a hassle than its worth!" she mentioned with a frown and wide- curious eyes. "That has to be bothersome even!" she continued before placing a spoonful of cheese shells into her mouth. Now she just couldn't quite grasp how Kanto could be so different so...weird. Then again, what was the norm to her had to be different to them as well. Going back to what he mentioned about the region looking older, she shrugged to herself.
"I guess our region is really new compared to theirs. I mean Unova gets a lot of the newer technology from what I've heard." She said finally, taking another thoughtful bite. He said the Pokemon that lived there were awesome, but she also knew N. Any kind of Pokemon was awesome to N just because it was a Pokemon to begin with. Smiling, she turned the subject onto the Pokemon.
"I bet there are tons of Pokemon we've never seen around here, huh?" She knew that this was normally a topic N loved, so maybe it'd get him to tell her more. If not, that would have been okay too, but it wasn't what she was hoping for. She also kind of wished Black was around. They could have had an eating contest or something.
Noticing something... Semi-peculiar, White tilted her head just a little bit as she looked down at N's plate, trying to figure out what she found so odd about it. She figured it out moments later, and looked back up at N with a rather peculiar expression.
"N...you didn't take any kind of meat. Do you not eat that stuff?" she questioned, her face ever innocent. She seemed to have forgotten about N's care for Pokemon for a minute, despite being so enthusiastic about it before. She just didn't eat meat dishes because she didn't know what was in them. Though most guys she knew (which was most of her family members) ate meat on a normal basis, claiming it made them stronger.

Those Towns really were weird, he thought as he followed her back to the table, feeling that it was impolite otherwise. It seemed like something one did in a place such as this, in the nature on the other hand no one looked up strange when you stuffed your mouth full of food.
A faint shrug of the shoulders "I don't know, I never stepped in their markets.." He commented, picking up something from his plate and nibbling on it, why would he stop into a Market while Berries provided everything that he needed to heal his Pokemon or why would he want to capture new Pokemon and tear them away from their families? The thought alone nearly made him shudder. He smiled at her and then popped the berry entirely in his mouth, before picking up another and doing the same process.
N's attention turned away and he agreed with a nod "It appears that way." He agreed, frowning ever so lightly "Their technology is truly behind ours.." He had found it interesting however and if he hadn't been talking with Pokemon, he could have been found in front of a shop or something similar and wondering if he could pick it apart and see if he could find out how it worked. Of course he had never actually done it, because most likely it wouldn't be appreciated by them, especially if he couldn't put it together anymore.
It indeed sparked a light inside him and he perked up "Oh yes." He nodded his head hurriedly, smiling again "The ones they can pick as starters.." A light shake of the head and his eyes widened briefly "There is one with a flame on the tip of his tail, or one who has a bulb on his back...." He then paused for a moment, gathering his words together "Their water starter looks like some Tirtouga, but... stranger, stubbier." He nodded at the last word, somewhat satisfied himself for using a word he could agree with.
"There are too many to describe!" He breathed, still smiling in obvious joy "There is even a flying fossil they resurrected, but it looks more like a dragon!" He then bit another berry in half and swallowed, pondering something for a moment "There is also this extremely cute dragon type that you would have loved, I think..." He scratched at his hair "Dratini, I believe they were called by everyone." A faint smile then "Apparently their third evolution has some kind of legendary status.." The smile didn't fade, not noticing her check out his plate.
Nonetheless he blinked when he suddenly focused on her and he looked down at it himself when he saw where her attention lied. Had he done something wrong again? He wondered and then looked back up, just in time for her question. He paled lightly, before shaking his head hurriedly "No!" He was quick to say, reeling back as if slapped. The idea alone that someone could eat... eat another living creature! He looked down at his plate "Wh- why would I want to eat something like that at any rate?" He questioned lowly, looking back up from underneath his eyelashes.

Really, what were they called exactly...? The thought of one of their names came to her tongue, but she it was quickly lost in her thoughts once again. So, instead of embarrassing herself by saying the wrong name, she stuffed her face with another delicacy. She continued to listen to him go on, and at the same time, she tried to maintain some focus on her plate, not wanting to run out of food and continue picking at it like there was something on her plate.
Her delight at the fact N seemed to have a nice journey was obvious in her. Still...she knew he could have told them where he was off to, at least Black if not her. Dismissing this mentally,she listened as he described the dragon Pokemon which he said she might of taken an interest in. It sounded adorable, and at the very least having a slight Legendary status come last evolution seemed like an awesome prospect!
After she had asked her question about his not touching meat, she nodded thoughtfully at his answer. Of course he wouldn't want to eat Pokemon, he loved them! Of course she did too, but then again, she wasn't even positive that it even was Pokemon meat they used...well, then again there was also nothing else she knew of that they could use, so maybe. She drew in a deep breath and let out a huff.
"Still N, you should eat a lot more than berries!" she mentioned, observing his own plate. That wasn't the kind of diet that someone should follow at all! he needed more than just vitamins and minerals after all. She felt herself become slightly annoyed, but she calmed herself with a breath. "You know that out of all People, Black and you are the two I worry about the most." she breathed slightly, leaning one of her arms on the table.
"So start thinking of at least eating something else? It doesn't have to be meat, of course. But cheese dumplings, danishes, something. Okay?" she asked, more of a underlying 'Make- sure- you- take- care of- your- diet- or- I'm- going- to- kill- you' tone under more or less pure concern.

It had taken him a while to learn their names himself, although they told him countless of times. The fact that he had never seen a Pokemon beyond the Unova Region and in fact the first few years he had only known a Zorua and a Darmanitan who had cared for the freshly orphaned child he had been. He didn't remember much from the period before that, only that he had been adopted by Ghetsis and then that room for years upon an end. He shivered lightly, before forcing it away and forcing the gentle look on his features yet again.
He knew that he had caught her interest and smiled again "I wanted to take my friend with me, but then she would have been separated from her family." A light tense look and he looked at his hands that had stilled above the plate filled with berries, to give them something to do, he intertwined them and then untangled them, picking up another object and popping it into his mouth "I couldn't do that.." A faint shrug and then he pushed some of the green mass from his face again.
The Trainer kept waiting for a comment about his lack of eating meat, but even then she surprised him by nodding thoughtfully. He actually blinked again and looked down, hopefully she wouldn't continue about the lack of things on his plate. He wasn't hungry and the sight of the meat there had sickened him even further, so even if he hadn't been hungry, he wouldn't have been able to fill his stomach. He didn't know where they got it from and didn't want to know, but he could guess it and even that was far too much to him. He had never tasted it, luckily enough, the sick had sickened him from the start and it had helped that the Pokemon themselves stayed far away from it.
A faint shake of the head and he frowned, getting exactly what he had tried to avoid "I'm.. not very hungry." He offered, hoping that she would let it rest at that. His fingers plucking up another berry and popping it into his mouth and chewing thoughtfully. He had thought that, but never had heard it confirmed and he actually paused and then frowned again "Why me?" He finally questioned, merely sounding like a confused child. Besides, he could understand Black. She had been friends with him for so long. There was somewhat of a pang, even now he hungered for more human contact without knowing how to get it, aside from when Black or White talked to him.
When she spoke again, he blinked up at her "I... never tried it..." He murmured softly "I... I.." He didn't finish it, frowning his frustration again at his inability to bring it under words. His hands leaned against the table, signaling that he was about to straighten himself. The smell of things he didn't want to know assaulting his nose even more.

He obviously didn't get the fact that she wanted to be good friends. In all honesty, it had been a lot easier to talk to N whenever Black was around, and that was probably because he knew him better than she did. She shook her head and then looked back up at N, her sapphire eyes shimmering with a certain uncertainty. They hadn't gotten off on the right foot, but she was really trying to fix that, despite it not being her fault, well at least she thought it wasn't her fault, N might have had another view on the whole thing.
"I care because I'm trying to be your friend." She answered lowly, glancing down at her shoes as if she had suddenly lost interest in what she was eating. It was weird for her, since she never normally lost interest in a meal, but for some reason she wasn't hungry anymore, and judging by how N seemed to dislike the air of the place, White stood up.
"Come on, let's get out of here." She muttered, leaving a small tip on the table and walking towards the door without waiting to hear if N was ready to leave or not. Once outside, she sighed and waited for N to appear outside as well before speaking. "N, do you want to be my friend? I mean, if you don't I could just leave you alone." pausing, she crossed her arms and looked away from him. "Besides, I've been friends with basically just Black, Bianca and Cheren for so long...its your choice..." she murmured finally. She wasn't trying to be mean or anything like that, but she didn't want him to feel like she was trying to force him to be her friend.
[/style][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][style=font-size:9px; line-height: 13px; background-color: #ececec; color: #1f1f1f; padding: 5px; width: 280px; text-align:justify; height: 309px; text-transform: lowercase; overflow: auto; float:right;] He would have apologized if he knew how White felt about the entire sensation, he would have apologized for not knowing how to converse normally with another human being. Although he had learned a lot the past two years, it was still not enough and besides, it had been mainly learning that battles weren't necessary a bad thing, that some Pokemon did enjoy battling for their trainers. Nonetheless, he was unaware of her feelings about the entire thing, was even uncertain about most of his own. Sometimes he wished that he still was in his room, only surrounded by his Pokemon, his dear friends and not having to wonder about anything else than them. It was not as complicated as this.
N's mouth opened for a moment, before blushing rather horribly and looking down to his own feet "Really?" He breathed, sounding more awed than anything else. He couldn't understand why someone had the desire to be his friend, at least none that said it outright like her. It was surprising. The lack of eating was noticed by him and he wanted to say that while he didn't eat, that she shouldn't stop for his sake. She stood up before he could do so however and he bit his lower lip. He soon smiled however, feeling happy for some reason. She wanted to be his friend!
The green haired Trainer nodded his head when she told that maybe they should go outside "Alright.." He looked at the money for a moment, once more wondering what the cause of that was. Hadn't she already paid for the food here? And yet again his lower lip was caught between his teeth and worried at.
She spoke soon however and his eyes widened, before he grabbed her hands in an impulsive thought "I do want us to be friends!" He quickly spoke, before releasing her hands just as quickly with an awkward expression on his features and rubbing his hair. He then became more solemn and looked away "I... just.... don't know how." He admitted. He heard of Black, Bianca and Cheren and envied her for having so many human friends, even her Pokemon adored her. He pushed that thought resolutely away though. He had returned to hopefully renew the friendship between White and Black and gain more friends along the way, too.

Listening to what he told her, she wasn't all that surprised. Of course that was it. He didn't know how to be friends with people. Ghestis had kept him shut out of humanity for so long, and now, now he had people trying to be his friend.
She allowed him to hold her hands in his for a moment as he explained to her further, and placed them back at her sides as he let them go rather quickly. He seemed sincere, so she simply smiled, a rather happy expression crossing her features for only a moment, before she drew a Pokeball from her belt. Throwing it into the air suddenly, the ball popped open and the white light the emanated from it materialized into the large grass-snake, Amanda.
"Serpher..." Amanda called, looking questioningly to White, even her expression was as blank as it always was. White could tell by now. She brought her hand up and tucked her arm under Amanda's head, scratching the other side of the Serperior's face gently. Amanda seemed to show that she was pleased by leaning her head closer to White's. For a minute, White could even recall the time when Amanda had refused to let herself be captured.
"Well...let's see... there are plenty of ways to make friends. We met in a... rather weird way I guess..." she mentioned, looking from Amanda back to him. Amanda seemed to see what she was getting at, but her stoic look did not change. "But regardless, your my friend now. You see how easy that can be?" She asked excitedly. Amanda raised her head and prevented herself from letting out a sigh. "But some people aren't that easy to make friends with. Take...Cheren for instance! He's a little bit of a grouch, and I'm not quite sure how Black has been friends with him all this time, though in the end, he isn't all that bad." She explained matter-o-factly. When she suddenly seemed to realize she wasn't getting to her point, she stopped herself and chuckled.
"Anyway, it's just important to try. See what they like and dislike, get to know them as a person, don't just put a name to a face, you get it?"
[/b]Amanda was sure hoping he did, because he didn't want to go through listening to this. She loved White, but she could rant forever if she really felt like it.

He had trailed of awkwardly again and didn't look at her, feeling like a freak, although it could be said that it wasn't his fault for what Ghetsis had done to him. His long fingered hands plucked at the sweater that he had carried, even that didn't look too different from what he had been wearing two years ago, a bit more worn out but not too much. He only hoped that she wouldn't turn away now, he would hate for that to happen, but it wouldn't come as a surprise if it truly did happen. Who would want to be friends with a freak like him after all, one that didn't even could help his papa, even though those plans had been for evil.
He was afraid for a moment, but instead of being angry, she smiled and for a moment he was confused again, but took it as the good sign it was and smiled softly back. She threw a pokeball again though and tossed it in the air, his eyes following the trajectory it followed, and then the snake Pokemon he had given to her emerged. He smiled wider and instantly greeted her, before being polite and refocusing his attention on the female Trainer.
N watched the bond between the two with gentle eyes, he was glad that they could find it with each other so well. He had feared for it once, but in the end he had nonetheless made the right decision. He was glad for that, both for White and the Serperior. The smile appeared again when she scratched Amanda's face and seeing the grass type respond with leaning closer. He suddenly looked away as if it was a private bond that he shouldn't witness and he scratched his hair for a moment. The silence didn't really bother him, besides he didn't feel alone. He had his Pokemon and those two were still here with him.
Only to blink when she started to speak, there where? He only knew how he had to approach a wounded Pokemon and become its friend, there was not truly a different approach to that. Although there had been once or twice when a Pokemon had run up to him and nearly begged him to bring them to the Pokecenters scattered around Unova. She called him her friend, he blinked once more, before smiling and nodding his head lightly, even though he didn't really understand it. Didn't they have to know each other better or something? But maybe he could deal with this too. It wasn't unpleasant, instead it somewhat felt even warm.
A faint tilt of the head as he heard the name Cheren and in mind came the image of a rather serious youth with glasses and he nodded his head faintly. He remembered him, he hadn't known what to think of the other and his Pokemon had told him mixed signals too. She suddenly silenced and chuckled and he observed that reaction, before shaking his head faintly.
"Oh.." He then smiled ever so faintly again and looked at White, eyes still innocent while he posed his question "Do you like Black, White?" He questioned. He liked Black, just like he liked White and Pokemon. He also liked sweets from time to time and even had liked his room on some days and to play with the toys scattered around. He dispelled the last few thoughts, knowing that it was unfit to think about such things now, or ever.

She continued mindlessly petting the grass-snake until N caught her attention again. She turned back, her sea-blue eyes finding N's form quickly as she listened to his question.
She knew it was innocent. He was only asking if she liked Black as a friend. Yet she couldn't help the slight flush of her face as she tried to think of the answer that she actually wanted to give him. In reality, the answer was simple, but in White's actress-prone mind, the answer was more complicated. Finally, she nodded and gave him a healthy smile, Amanda looking away at the sign of her trainer's clear momentary confusion.
"Well sure I like Black. He's my best friend." White answered cheerfully. Suddenly, a question came to her mind. She wasn't too sure what exactly happened between Black and N, and she wasn't too sure if they still considered eachother friends. She put a hand to one of the golden spikes on Amanda's body and finally begged her question.
"And how about you N? Do you like him? You've been away for quite some time, so have you seen him at all?" She questioned gently. She hoped they were still friends, at the very least.

N was curious about the slight pause though, before she finally seemed to move again and talk, replying to his question. He felt his muscles relax at that, wondering if he had said something wrong, apparently not. That was good. He nodded his head at her words, seeming to confirm something. He did, he took them as an example as people who shared friendship with each other and somewhat tried to copy them. It seemed like a good thing to do in most cases.
N did wonder at the 'best friend' part though, was that different than just friends? It sounded like it. Otherwise it wouldn't have best before it, right? He decided that he would see and wait before asking what it meant. He knew that he couldn't solve it with formulas. His attention turned back to the Serperior and he nibbled on his lower lip yet again and then she leaned against the grass snake and posed her own question and he blinked at that. His chin lowered as he considered the question. He considered the other male a friend, but he didn't know about Black's thoughts on the matter.
He did like the other male and he nodded his head slowly "I like him, yes." He voiced his agreement out loud as well. He nearly winced when he was reminded of his long absence once more and rubbed the back of his head "I... No, no I haven't seen him yet." He admitted, a faint embarrassed smile appeared on his features yet again. It turned a little smaller when he continued speaking again "But I'm planning to!"

It would have been terrible if he didn't, because then she'd have to choose sides. And as much as thought N was great, she knew she'd without hesitation choose Black's side. She would probably always do that. But shaking her thoughts, she smiled.
"That's great. Being friends altogether is a lot more fun after all." She mentioned, Amanda seeming to release a soft hiss of agreement as her large head hovered close to White's shoulder. It wasn't like she cared too much about who White's friends were, but she rather liked N, with him being her original caretaker. White listened to N as he spoke about possibly visiting Black soon.
"Well I'm sure he's around. We normally travel together, I just had to leave him for a bit because of an...agency shoot I was doing..." She knew that N disliked her job, of course, and that's why she was hesitant to mention it. Amanda brought her tail to wrap it gently around White's legs. In all the shoot had lasted for a month, because of constant actor changes, and all the things like that. "I know you don't like stuff like that but...ever since you spoke with me the first time, I've been making sure..." She paused with a slight sigh, patting the side of Amanda's head once again.
"I've been making sure that no one pushes the Pokemon too hard. I can't stop people from wanting to turn their Pokemon into stars, but I can make it easier on them..." She didn't know anymore, how she had gone on to talk about this. Maybe she wanted to let him know that, but she wasn't even quite sure anymore.

The fact, however, remained that he was completely unaware and nearly bursting in joy of being able to count both White and Black as his friends. He had actually human friends, the thought was both thrilling and scary to him. He only could still hope that he wouldn't mess it up and make them angry at him, although Black seemed the type to never be bothered by something and White like the forgiving kind. He didn't know them all too well however, but that didn't matter at the moment.
A faint nod in agreement "It is." He smiled, both at White and at the giant snake Pokemon, picking on what it felt and feeling comforted even more by it. He flushed for a moment and then scratched the side of his head "It is... It is nice having you both as... as my friends." He finally murmured. Seeming having the need to confirm it again, not knowing if he had already said so out loud or not and yet he found he again didn't care about it.
His eyes focused on her, without expression, just like he had done so many years ago and then he shrugged. While he would've protested like when they had first met on that faithful day, he had matured now and as long the Pokemon didn't protest, who was he to stop it anymore. He smiled faintly "I still do not like it." He finally murmured, admitting to it, before shrugging faintly again "But if the Pokemon do not complain, I won't either." He continued after a short silence and then smiled wider once more when she continued. She spoke about making sure that no one pushed them, she had matured too, he noticed.
"That's good." He breathed, before looking up "I think Pokemon will have a lot more fun now." Even that had changed, two years ago he had even protested against every Trainer. It had taken a long while before he had realized that not all Trainers where bad, that they often were good in fact. He was glad to have learned this much, he didn't see how far he would've come if he had stayed in his old set of beliefs.
