Hello all, and welcome to my next ColorShipping fic. This one will actually be multi-chaptered and have three pairing: Colorless will be the main pair, with ChessShipping and CobaltViridianShipping (CobalionxVirizion) as side pairings. This follows Pokemon Black post-game.

As for Zekrom's special nickname for Reshiram, I wanted to have a shortened version of Reshiram's name, but I wanted it to sound regal-like. So basically, to get Lady Rem, I took the first two letters and the last letter in Reshiram's name (Reshiram), and there ya go. I'd prefer nobody else use that nickname simply for the fact that it took a long time to come up with it and I'd rather keep that name with just my fanfics. So, without further ado, enjoy!

Soulmate

Ch. 1

Night had fallen as the full moon rose into the dark blue sky and bathed the entire Sinnoh region in silvery moonlight. A massive black dragon sat atop the peak of Mt. Coronet as his Trainer, a young adult male with long tea green hair, rested in the palm of the beast's clawed paw. The pair was engaged in a one-sided conversation, with the male Trainer speaking aloud and the black dragon communicating his responses telepathically, his deep masculine voice echoing in the green-haired male's head.

"Master N, I sense that something troubles you…"

"It's nothing, Zekrom, don't worry about me."

N smiled lamely up at his legendary friend, but the beast wasn't fooled.

"I'm your friend, N, you can talk to me. Don't push me away."

N took a moment to ponder his response, then let out a deep sigh, "…I feel like I'm hindering you…"

"In what way?" Zekrom asked with a curious tilt of the head.

"I always keep you in a Pokeball now so I don't draw attention to myself. I hate confining my friends to those ridiculous contraptions, and I know you don't like them very much."

"On the contrary, Master N, I love my Pokeball. It's very comfortable and it's made just for me."

This was news to N. "…How so?"

The Deep Black Pokemon gave a loud growling chuckle. "Pokeballs may appear insanely small, but once inside, it has a huge environment made for specific Pokemon. My environment is that of a large cloudy sky with lightning and thunder. I even have a huge thundercloud to sleep on."

"I… wasn't aware of that. Forgive my ignorance, Zekrom."

"Forgiven… Although, Master N, I fear this isn't the extent of your troubles."

"Heh, you read me like an open book, Zekrom." Another sigh. "Please don't take offense, but I want to give you to another Trainer."

Silence. Zekrom's blood-red eyes narrowed.

"I want to give you to Touko and Touya-"

"Absolutely not, Master N, I'm staying by your side no matter what!"

"Please, hear me out… I feel they would be better friends because you'll be back in Unova, you won't have to hide, and-"

"I said no, Master N—"

"—you'll be back with Reshiram."

That stopped any protesting on Zekrom's part, and a very faint blush touched the Black Yin's cheeks. "I see… so you are aware of how much I miss her…"

"Very much so. I've noticed it since Reshiram was awakened right before our eyes. I can sense how much you care about her, how much it pained you to have to battle her because of my false ideals, and how much it killed you to have to leave her so abruptly… and for that, I deeply apologize, Zekrom."

Zekrom blinked softly before gazing up at the full moon, its brilliant white glow reminding him so much of the beautiful white dragoness of truth. The moon was a dead ringer for Reshiram's dormant form as the Light Stone…

"I was ecstatic to see Lady Rem again…" His heart pulsed faster upon calling her by the special nickname he had affectionately bestowed upon her all those years ago. "It was an honor to fight such a powerful, graceful dragoness… Even if it did pain me to fight, I do not regret our battle."

"But it did pain you to leave her… didn't it?" N asked, his soft voice laden with guilt.

"…Indeed, it did…" Zekrom's ruby eyes glanced back at his Trainer, "...and I will forever regret doing so."

N's heart sank a little. "I don't want you to regret it anymore. Listen, Zekrom, you are an amazing friend and ally, and I love you for that. But what matters to me the most is your happiness, which is why I want you to go with Touko and Touya, and be with your loved one."

Zekrom found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place. He didn't want to leave N's side now that he had such a strong bond with the human Trainer, but to see his dear Reshiram again after hundreds of years apart was so tempting. So many things had been left unsaid between them when he and N fled from Unova in such a hurry. "But, Master…you're on the run from the Unovan authorities… and from that bastard guardian of yours…"

N's expression darkened at the mentioning of Ghetsis, but he quickly hid it with a fake smile, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine on my own. I still have Zoroark, Archen, and Carracosta with me. Getting around this new region will be no problem." He placed a hand on Zekrom's snout, "I know you don't want to leave me, but I know you'll be happier living carefree in Unova… Once enough time has passed for the authorities to give up looking for me and I can get my affairs in order, I'll go back… Just, right now isn't the time…" N swallowed, "I still have some unfinished business to take care of…"

Zekrom understood perfectly what N was talking about and why he wanted to do it, but that didn't mean he approved of it. However, he knew it wasn't his place to speak against any decisions his Trainer made.

Pushing that thought aside, the beast's eyes stared back up at the glowing moon and Reshiram's face flashed in his mind. He missed her so much and there were so many things he wanted to tell her that he never got the chance to tell her back at N's Castle - I love you, I miss you, I want to be with you forever. He craved her touch, he wanted to hold her. He felt that if he didn't see her again, he would lose it, and his heart suddenly ached when the reality of his feelings hit him hard.

Zekrom made his decision. "Alright, I'll go…"

He then stubbornly added, "But only if you promise me three things."

N gave a genuine smile this time and snickered in relief, "Anything, Zekrom."

"One, let me have something of yours so I can always have you with me."

"Of course…" N immediately searched himself, and then settled on the black and blue planet necklace he always wore. It was one of two gifts he'd received from Anthea and Concordia, the Menger cube being the other. He carefully removed the necklace and placed it in Zekrom's other paw. "…Two?"

"Here…" The legendary Yin dragon lifted his massive arm to his mouth and yanked off one of his shimmering, black scales before leaning his head back down to N's level. "Take one of my scales so you'll always have me with you…"

N's eyes watered as he graciously accepted the large, 18 inch scale, "Thank you, Zekrom…" He held the scale close to his chest, feeling slight electrical sparks emit from it, "…and third?"

"…Promise to visit me sometime… please?"

N gave a firm nod, "You got it, Zekrom. I promise."

The draconic beast nodded back and placed his hand on the ground to allow N to easily step off of his paw. "In that case… I'm ready to go with my new Trainers…" He stole one last glance at the moon. "…and Lady Rem…"

N smiled sadly as his feet touched the mountain's snowy ground and pulled a purple Master Ball out of his pocket. He lightly caressed the capsule device before he recalled Zekrom, who obediently went into his ball without a fight. N watched the ball shrink in his hand then settled his lips to the round surface and whispered, "Farewell, my friend… and thank you."

Yeah, the whole trading thing with Zekrom and N, cheesy. I know. Don't care! It'll make sense later.

Chapter two is already done, I'm just finishing typing it up and proofreading. Next chapter will focus on Reshiram and Touko.

And yes, I'm using the Japanese names for Black and White because their English names suck and their color names would be kinda weird to write. XD
