It was cool here. It didn't like it. It could feel it moreso than usual. This manifestation... it dove beneath the treetops, its body breaking up into pixels before forming into the familiar Aerodactyl skeleton, dropping to the forest floor. It needed to find its friend......assuming it was even in the right area. 

The skeleton's tail flickered behind it as it crawled along the ground. Humans tended to live in buildings. If it found a building, maybe it would find its friend.

+ Through Good times and The Bad. [N & Touya]

Touya's smile brightened as he felt N's arms close around him. Such a reassuring feeling it was! He pulled N closer to himself; face buried tight into his chest as he sighed in bliss. It could be seen as only an irritating reminder of their height difference (which was nearly a foot!) but Touya ignored it. He pulled away after a long moment and grinned cheekily.  "I guess that's my fault," He admitted with a weak laugh. Touya rubbed the back of his neck and shifted from foot to foot. "I've been travelling around for the past little while. In fact, I spent the week in Sinnoh! It was an interesting but nothing worth staying any longer for. I only got back today, actually." He pursed his lips in thought, then grinned again. He was a bit curious as to why N was wandering around in his hometown but it was nothing he would bother bringing up in question. It wasn't as if he was complaining! Ever since Cheren and Bianca became busy with their own affairs-- it had been quite lonely. "Say, N. You should come over if you're not busy!" Touya suggested, "It's getting late-- we better get inside before we get attacked by a swarm of Woobats! Ha ha!" Without bothering to wait for a response, Touya grabbed N's hand in his own and pulled the man along with him. He was gentle-- for he knew he had to be with N. Touya squeezed his hand reassuringly. The two men walked silently for a bit before Touya, the chatter box, piped up again.  "But what have you been up to? You're always disappearing as well, N! It's not just me!" Touya joked. "Have you done anything cool lately? Anything worth mentioning?"

+ A brink of hope. [Colress and N]

"My Lord?" Colress' tone was quiet as he knocked the back of his knuckle against the large door of N's bedroom. There was no response-- but he didn't bother to wait for one. He knew what had happened. The furious, booming voice of Ghetsis echoing throughout the corridors had been more than enough to inform him of what had happened. He pulled his plastic gloves up; snapping them against his wrists before he pushed the door open and looked down at the familiar sight in front of him. N laid in the middle of the floor, trembling and heaving heavily. Soft purple bruises began to blossom along the man's torso; his tea-green tresses sprawled around him. From what Colress could see of the boy's face-- a black-eye was forming and crimson blood dribbled from between his lips. The scientist sighed softly, walking quietly over to N's side before he knelt down beside him.  "Again, huh?" Colress murmured, more to himself than to N. For surely at this point, such an occurrence was not odd nor unfamiliar. He reached into the inner pocket of his coat and pulled out a potion and some other equipment. He knew from past experiences that N didn't like any kind of medicine that was 'unnatural'-- and in N's terms; that referred to anything that wasn't designed for use on Pokemon.  Being very careful, Colress reached his gloved hand down to tuck the stray hairs out of N's face and behind his ear. "Lord N-- can you lift your head for me? I need to make sure your cheekbones are still in place," He spoke gently but he knew it was useless. The boy was practically heaving. And Colress knew that if Ghetsis came back-- both of them would get in some serious trouble.  But simply allowing Ghetsis to push the boy around like that; beating him and degrading him-- it was disgusting. It made him wonder why he was associated with a man like that, but that wasn't the problem. Ghetsis' son was seriously injured and Colress, using the medical experience he had, would do his best to help soothe his pain. N was the future king, after all. And to be tossed about so terribly was horrendous.

What.... What was that? Wandering aimlessly down Castelia city seemed to become a daily routine for Touya. There wasn't anything to do anyways. After collecting all his badges and concurring the Pokemon league two years ago; what was there to do? The city skyline was something all to familiar at this point. Never changing, bright city lights that bled into the night sky and masked the stars. And now that the region had grown colder with the changing season, the usual evening snowfall was nothing new to Touya either. Tightening his scarf around his neck, Touya rubbed his red hands together and kept walking down the sidewalk. But the sight of something unusual caused Touya's gut to churn. It was almost as if deep in his mind; he knew. As a flash of pastel green became visible across the city square, Touya's eyes widened for a double take. But by the time he turned, it was gone.  What? But I could have sworn-- No! There it was again! A full head of shaggy green hair slipping between the wandering city folk. Touya's stomach flipped in sudden excitement  There was only one person that could be! But, having green hair wasn't that unusual, was it? The disappointment he would feel if his assumptions were denied... Just then, the figure turned to glance sideways. Even if it was only for a second; those clear features confirmed it. Touya could recognize that child-like face in a crowd of millions. Which essentially, he did. He stood dumbfounded in his spot. Almost as if his winter boots were made of lead and refused to let him move.  "N," Touya breathed, fog passing his lips as his warm breath clashed with the cold atmosphere. "N!" Words only motivating himself, Touya changed gait into a hurried walk. Bolting across the city square would only draw attention. But as more people made their way down the side of the road in a hurried manner, Touya lost glimpse of him for a brief moment. And that alone was enough to motivate him to run hurriedly towards the man he'd been searching for for the past two years.  Adrenaline pumped through him. Oh, all the things he had to say! All the questions he wanted to ask! Where had he been? Why had he left? Where was Ghetsis? What had happened af-- Touya's thoughts were interrupted as he lost balance on a patch of sheer ice that had dried by the fountain and been covered in snow. He let out an embarrassing sounding squeak as his feet flew out in front of him and he landed on his abdomen. Pain rippled up his backside and he groaned out, his pants instantly dampening from the snow that had melted upon contact. It took him only a minute until he was back on his feet, dusting the snow from his knees and taking off in direction of where he had last seen N.  And surely, the man was still there. He had stopped and was looking in the window of some shop to Touya's relief. But still, he ran as if N would spontaneously com bust at any moment. As if he would disappear and Touya would miss his chance to ever talk to him again. "N!"   Touya's tone was not happy; nor was it filled with excitement  But rather the name slipped from his tongue in a voice filled with frustration. He stormed up behind him, pants covered in snow and huffing from toll the sudden run had taken on him. Touya's cheeks flushed with a vibrant crimson from the cold and his fingers clenched in his gloves. "Where--... Where have you been?!" Touya exclaimed. His expression was filled with dismay; much like that of a puppy that had been left at home alone for far too long. "I've looked everywhere! Do you have any idea?!"
