The sun had long hidden itself over the horizon, only its reflection to stand in its place. Spilling across the sky, the stars sparkled and twinkled, trying to compensate for the lack of natural light. Regardless, N found himself in the artificial lighting of Nimbasa City. The dazzling lights of the city’s notorious night life glistened in the dark. The street lamps created an illusion that ignored the time of day.
Having been turned away from the pokemon center for the lack of available lodging, N politely left the center. Although N had no problems sacrificing lodging to another, more needy trainer, he couldn’t seem to think of a solution to this predicament he had found himself in. Instead, N entered the city’s night life. Nimbasa City was truly one that never slept. N had decided to embrace that fact.
Despite the late hours, people continued to play. The flashing lights of neon hues illuminated the night sky. As if hypnotized by it, N had found himself attracted to it. With nowhere else to go, he followed the concrete side walk towards a familiar park. While N preferred more natural settings, there was something attractive about the urban set city. The colors that flashed back at him, urged him to continue to play into the night until eventually, the park had also decided to sleep.
Now eerily quiet, N found himself alone in the desolate park. His body worn from the day’s excitement dragged to the nearest bench. N still hadn’t solved the predicament that was thrust upon him but a moment’s reprieve wouldn’t hurt. He looked out at the empty park and gradually, that vision disappeared.
“...ir....Sir....Sir, wake up,”
Awoken from his sudden slumber, the traveler looked up at the figure before him. They were clad in a blue uniform, a formal hat adorned atop their head. A badge was pinned to their breast pocket, a shield embroidered on the sleeve. It was clear what their occupation was. Still foggy from sleep, N gazed at the person with a confused expression.
“Sir, do you have any sort of identification with you? Can you explain to me why you were sleeping out,”
