Hello! This is my VERY FIRST story. YAY! I'll try to keep updates for the story, but I'm also really busy since school is starting up soon, and I can get really bad cases of writer's block. Anyway, I hope you'll read and enjoy!

It was a warm summer night at the Nimbasa City Fair. People were in line for the roller coasters, the new model show Elesa set up, and the Ferris Wheel. A green-haired guy was standing in front of the Ferris Wheel, waiting. People looked at him and walked faster when they passed by him.
A girl with dark brown hair, a white shirt, and denim shorts ran over to him.
The guy smiled as she came to stop next to him. "You came."
She looked weary. "You shouldn't be in Unova. Looker is still trying to hunt you down."
"He won't be able to find me."
She narrowed her eyes. "N, you are at the Nimbasa Fair, where tons of people come every day."
"Hilda, you worry too much about me."
"Can you blame me?" She tried not to raise her voice, even though she was getting mad. "Looker knows what we have! He knows about us! He's tried again and again to give up where you are!" Tears were rising in her eyes. "I don't want to lose you."
N grabbed her hand. "You won't lose me, I promise. But we need to talk."
Hilda squeezed his hand and blinked the tears back. "Ferris Wheel, I'm presuming?"
He pulled her to the bottom cart of the wheel. Once they were shut in, it began to move up slowly.
Hilda let go of his hand and moved to the other side of the cart. "Why did you want me to come here?"
N looked at the scenery. "Can't I just want to see you?"
"Really? You'd risk getting caught to see me?"
"Yes, but," he sighed. "I also need to tell you something." When she didn't respond he sighed again and said:
"I'm leaving Unova tonight. And I won't be coming back."
Hilda moved closer to him. "It-It's for the best, N."
He put his arm around her shoulder and glanced at her face. Tears were streaming down it. Pulling her closer, she cried on his shoulder.
They sat like this until N broke the silence. "I want you to come with me."
She still was lying on his shoulder. "N…."
"Don't say it. I know you can't. You've already become a Pokemon Center employee. And Zekrom is going to help you protect Unova."
When he spoke of the dragon-type legend, she sat up, with his arm still around her. "Are you taking Reshiram with you?"
"Yes. He's already told me he wasn't going to let me go by myself."
Hilda smiled. "He sounds like me, in a way."
She looked out of the cart and gasped. N moved his arm away.
"What is it?"
"Looker followed me!"
"What?" N looked out the cart too. Of course, Looker was down there, staring at the Ferris Wheel. N jumped to the back of the cart. "Did he see me?"
"Doubt it. We're almost at the-" The Ferris Wheel stopped. "Top."
Hilda sat down next to N. "Us stopping should buy us some time but you need to get out of here."
N had ideas buzzing through his head. "How can I get out of here without him knowing I was here?!"
Hilda looked at him. "If you're leaving tonight, it doesn't matter if he knew you were here or not! If you send out Reshiram, you can fly out!" As he pulled out Reshiram's PokeBall, Hilda put her hand on top of it. "Or better yet, you can use Zekrom and he'll think it was me, and he'll be surprised when I get to the bottom."
"I'm not using Zekrom! Reshiram and I can get out of here on our own!"
"If you fly off on Reshiram, he'll inform the rest of the police in the other regions!"
"So? They won't catch me!"
"Zekrom can help you and Reshiram!"
"Hilda, no."
Hilda looked at N sadly. "I'm probably never going to see you again, N. I at least want to know you're safe with both legendary dragons protecting you…."
N stood up and the cart shook a little. "If I can ever come back, or if I ever need to come back, I'll look for you. I'll be safe. I don't need Zekrom."
She stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He hugged her back. When they separated she looked in his green eyes. "Can you do me one favor? Please?"
N smiled and gazed into her blue eyes. "Anything."
"I decided to move away from Nuvema Town. I live in the corner of Unova now in a place called Aspertia City. Can you try to get Looker off your trail and try to visit me? Only for a little bit?"
"Hilda…."
"I know it's risky, but please?"
He sighed. He wanted to see her one last time, but staying in Unova was risky. And dangerous. But Hilda wouldn't have asked if she thought he'd get caught.
He nodded and Hilda threw herself around him again.
The Ferris Wheel began to move again.
They let go of each other as N grabbed the PokeBall again. "I need to go. I'll see you soon."
"Promise?"
He put a hand on her cheek and leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. When he pulled back, he pressed his forehead on hers. "A promise sealed with a kiss."
He looked away and opened the door of the cart. He saw a few people looking up at him from below, including Looker. He gripped the PokeBall. "Reshiram! Let's get out of here!" The white dragon Pokemon popped out of the PokeBall in a flash of light. Without looking at the crowd below, he jumped on the Pokemon's back and it began to fly off.
He looked as Hilda jumped off the ride as it was decending. He saw how furious Looker was as he began to yell at her. He fought the urge to go back, but lost it the second Hilda began yelling back.
He looked forward. That's my girl, he thought as he began to fly to Aspertia City.
N had Reshiram land in the trees near the city. The trees were so tall, and the darkness helped, and Reshiram could be hidden from view.
He sat on some tree roots looking behind the tree every so often.
How will you know which house is hers?
N heard Reshiram in his head. He had this ability with all Pokemon.
"I won't, but if I'm lucky, she'll send Cinccino to find me."
And if she doesn't?
"I'll keep waiting."
Reshiram grunted. I don't see why you care for her.
N smiled. "I don't understand why, but there's something about her that I like."
She defeated you and ruined Team Plasma.
N glaced at the Vast White Pokemon. "And you liked Team Plasma's ideas? And how they tricked me? And lied to me?"
Reshiram looked annoyed. I never said I liked them. I just think that it is strange she is girl you decided to fall in love with.
N tensed at the word "love".
Reshiram noticed it. You do love her right?
N looked away. "Yes. I do love her. But it's because of loving her that it's so hard for me to leave Unova; hard for me to leave her."
The white dragon looked in the trees. I like Hilda, and not only because you love her, or that Zekrom chose her, but because she seems to love and understand her Pokemon. She'd risk her life to save them if they were in danger.
N said nothing but looked back at a few houses in the city.
Reshiram broke the silence. I sense Cinccino. She's coming.
A few second later, the chinchilla Pokemon busted past a tree. Spotting N, she ran up to him panting.
I…. Finally…. Found you…. N heard her voice in his head. Smiling, he picking her up. Hilda…. Sent me…. To get you.
"You got me."
Cinccino jumped out of his hands to his shoulder and stayed there. She told me to take you to her house.
"So you can't lead the way?"
She glared at him. I ran through most of the woods trying to find you. I am not taking another step.
N laughed. "Okay, where is her house?"
She pointed straight ahead at one of the houses. "That one."
He looked at her, with a confused look in his eyes. "You said you ran through most of the woods, yet I was in front of the house the whole time?"
Cinccino sweatdropped. Uh…. I kinda thought you'd be farther out. Never thought to check close by.
Reshiram made a loud chuckle.
She glared at him. Shut it!
N returned Reshiram to his PokeBall, and walked to the house. Once he got to the edge of the woods, he had Cinccino go have Hilda open the door. As Hilda opened the door, she looked around until she saw N under a tree. She gasped and opened the door wider. He ran inside the house.
Before shutting the door, Hilda looked outside again to see if anyone noticed him. Once the door was shut, she flung her arms around him. He wrapped his arms around her. He saw Cinccino leave the room rolling her eyes and tried to hold back a laugh.
He turned his attention to the girl in his arms. "So, did Looker know I was there?"
Hilda still had her arms around his neck, but still looked up at him. "No, he thought someone stole Reshiram." She said sarcastically. "Of course he knew! He starting yelling at me about how if I keep protecting you, the police might take me in, too."
"What?" N pushed himself away from her and looked at her. "He threatened to take you in?"
Hilda rolled her eyes. "Don't worry. I just hope you weren't planning on going to Kalos."
"Why?"
"I told him that was where you were headed."
"Again, why?"
She smiled. "One: I didn't want to be arrested. Two: to get him off your trail."
N smiled back but he was still worried. "What if they realize you lied?"
She walked over to the couch in the corner of the room and sat down. "They can't prove that you weren't there. I can just say that's what you told me."
N sat down next to her. "I don't want you to get involved in this."
"N, last time I checked, I've been involved in this since we met up on the Ferris Wheel and you first told me you were the leader of-"
"Don't say it."
Hilda intertwined her fingers with his. "I won't, but I'm involved in this. I don't want you to get caught."
He leaned to her and kissed her cheek. "I won't be caught. Promise."
She looked at him and leaned forward. She kissed him. When she pulled back she whispered: "A promise sealed with a kiss."
N had stayed the night at Hilda's house, but left at dawn while she was still asleep. He hated leaving her, but if he stayed he'd just put both of them in trouble. When he left, he ran back to the woods. Once he was far enough from the city, he released Reshiram again.
Finally ready? The white dragon asked.
N hopped on his back. "Yes. Let's go."
Without saying another word, Reshiram took off into the sky. Once they were past the clouds, the dragon murmured, I see we have a new traveling companion.
N was about to ask what he meant until he saw a purple Master Ball on his belt. He took it off the belt and looked at it closely. Zekrom was staring back at him through the transparent top of the PokeBall. N placed the PokeBall back on his belt.
Reshiram kept looking forward. Turn around?
He wanted to know if he wanted to go back and give Hilda Zekrom back. "No," he murmured. "She must've put it on my belt last night when I fell asleep. Dang, she's stubborn."
He finally looked back, but all he could see behind his was the clouds.
He silently hoped he could come back to Unova someday.

So, how is it? I'm a little rusty on the writing, but I hope you enjoyed it.
