For two and a half years, I haven't returned to my house in Nuvema Town. For two and a half years, I've been searching for...him... and haven't even gotten any leads. I even searched the Kanto and Sinnoh region for... him. For two and a half years... I've been the new champion, taking on all the challengers; defeating all.

"Go down here, Braviary, to that house." Braviary does as told and lands in front of my house. "Thank you, take a well deserved rest." I say, returning him to his pokeball. I turn towards the large wooden door with two long rectangular windows on the front and a golden handle. I take a few deep breaths in and out nervously. "Here goes nothing." I knock on the door and walk inside.

"White!" my twin brother, Black, yells and tackles me to the ground along with his starter, fully evolved from a Deino, Hydreigon. I know you're thinking that that's not a starter Pokémon. Well, you know how there's only three starters? I chose Snivy, Bianca chose Oshawott, and Cheren chose Tepig; leaving poor Black without one, so the professor made a special exception. "Where have you been! You missed our 17th and 18th birthdays! I can't believe you!"

"I'm sorry, Black, you know I'm busy," I say.

"Yeah, Champion," he says and gives my shoulder a light punch. "I still can't believe it."

"Dreee gunn!" Hydreigon barks.

I pet him on the head and he coos. "Nice to see you again too." To be honest I've only fought two challengers. It seems I'm too intimidating to battle, so no one challenges me. Which I don't mind. It just means that I can look for...him... I haven't told my family that I was the one to take down Team Plasma. I haven't told them anything about my travels. I mentioned...him... to them and I've been looking for him. But... I never mentioned his name. Lots of things have changed in the past two years. Cheren has become a gym leader and Bianca has become the Professor's assistant. Cheren looks like a model now and Bianca looks like an old woman. Black has become the top famous actor around. I just don't know what to believe anymore. "Neither can I," I say and give him a light punch back. "The famous Black! Now, can you get off me?"

My full name is White Lin Yang and his is Black Yin Yang. We're yin and yang. It's funny though because yin is the black side and it's referred to as the female one, while yang is the white side and it's referred to as the male one. I guess we should be switched, me be Black, and my brother be White. To be honest, I think women are more of a white color and men a black. I don't know, but that's just me. I mean, when women get married they usually wear white while the men usually wear black, right?

He laughs shyly and rubs the back of his head awkwardly then slowly gets off me. "Have you found him yet?" he asks, holding out his hand to me.

I grab it and he pulls me up. "No, sadly."

Mother walks into the room. "Oh, White!" She runs up and hugs me. "I've missed you so much!"

"...Mother... you're going to suffocate me..." I say, running out of breath.

"Oh!" She quickly let's go. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I've just missed you so much! It's like you were wiped off the planet!"

"I've missed you too."

"You should have come home to let us know that you're still alive! You know how irresponsible it is to let us think that you could have possibly been dead! A mother worries so much about her children and can't help but think of the worst! You've had me so worried!" Mother yells. "I can't believe you!"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry!" I say apologetically with my hands up in an 'I'm innocent' way. "Sorry!"

"You should be!" she says with a huff and turns away disappointed.

I walk up behind her and give her a hug. "I'm sorry, momma... I've just been busy with all sorts of things..."

She sighs. "You could've at least called..."

"Yeah!" Black agrees with her. "You could've called! I'm your twin brother we were born together!"

"I know, I always forget to call though..." I pout. "Do you forgive me?"

"I will if you remember to call us more," Mother says. "And visit and... give me more hugs!"

I laugh. "Alright, Mother."

Mother turns around and smiles after I let her go and a look of memorization crosses her face. "Oh!" she shouts. "There was a day, when I was left home alone, a girl came here. I thought she was you, so I hugged her and asked her if she'd found him yet. Then I realized it wasn't you and quickly apologized. She stayed for a little while and we talked. She said her name was Rosa."

"I think I've battled her! She has swirly buns on her head right?"

We all sit down and begin drinking some lemonade.

"Yes, that's the one!" Mother exclaims. "She told me she just lost to you. I told her that you were my daughter and we had a nice chat about her journey. What a roller coaster her journey was! She has the legendary Pokémon, Zekrom!"

The sip of lemonade I was taking, was spit from my mouth getting it all over the table. "What?!" She never used that Pokémon to battle me...

"Guunn!"

"White! What was that for!?" Mother yells.

"D-did you just say Zekrom!?" I shout.

Mother quickly gets some paper towels and cleans off the table. "Yes, that's what I said. Zekrom the other half of Reshiram, the Pokémon you have, well, except she hasn't woken him up yet."

I quickly jolt right up and slam my hands on the table, causing my Mother and brother to jump.

"Sis?!" Black fusses with me.

"Mother! Where does this girl live! Did she tell you the name of someone!?"

"She lives in Aspertia City and she mentioned a name... What was it? It was a letter..."

"N!"

"Dree gun dree!" Hydreigon exclaims.

"That's it! How did you know?"

"N! Is that who this boy is you've been looking for?!" Black yells at me. I look down. "Why would you be looking for that lunatic!? Stay away from him, White! You know he's the king of Team Plasma!"

"He's not a lunatic! I will not stay away from him! And I alone disbanded Team Plasma! He was being used by Ghetsis! He was being used as a puppet!"

"You what!?" Mother yells horrified.

"When did you do that!?" Black yells.

"When we parted."

"I can't believe this! Why didn't you tell me!?" Black yells infuriated.

"I didn't want to worry you."

"I could've helped you!"

"I didn't need you to help me."

"I can't believe you!" Black yells and runs upstairs. Hydreigon takes one last look at me then follows Black up the stairs, head low.

I sigh and turn to look at my Mother.

She looks at me with horror in her eyes. "Y-you went head to head against T-Team P-P-Plasma?" She runs up to me and squeezes me close. "Why would you do something so dangerous? You could've been hurt!"

I separate myself from her. "I had my Pokémon with me. I'm the strongest there is. I'm fine."

"I worry so much about you. I wish you would've told us. Something might've happened."

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm here and alive, aren't I?"

She sighs. "I thought I taught you not to get involved with dangerous things," she says.

"Mom, the real danger in life is to not take the adventure."

"Seems you've matured from when you left on your journey. I guess I should ease down a bit, but I'm too stubborn to stop worrying about my children." She smiles and disappears into her room.

I sigh. That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I look around the house. Nothing has changed since I left here two years ago. Same table, chairs, plant, kitchen, tv, couch, cabinets, and rug. Wow, I really actually missed this place. Wonder if Black messed with any of my stuff. I think as I make my way to my room and open the door once at the top of the steps. Giggling, I leap on my comfy bed as it creaks underneath me from my weight and roll onto my back. The room looks no different. It has the same plant, desk, carpet, bookshelf, tv, and of course my bed. All my favorite color, purple. 

I sigh. "I guess, I should go," I say and get up from the bed. "If I wanna find N then I need to go now." Closing the door behind me, I look at Black's closed door and sigh before heading to my mom's room to say bye. I knock on the door. "Mother?"

"Come in."

After opening the door, I walk up to her and give her a kiss on the cheek. "Where was the name of this city Rosa lived in?"

"Aspertia City," mother replies. "Are you going to find N?"

"Yeah, I'd like to see him again. If she's seen him then she must know how to contact him, hopefully."

"You must really love this boy, huh?"

"How'd you know?" I ask, shocked.

"A mother's intuition. That and I should know. I fell for a boy when I was on my journey and he was involved with some bad people too. That was your father."

"Where is he now?" I ask.

"He is out on his journey still, traveling the world. He's trying to make up for all the horrible things he did."

"I can understand doing that for maybe two to three years, but 18 mom? Is unforgivable. Are you trying to tell me to not go after N?" I ask, slightly peeved.

"I'm not going to stop you from going after him. I'm just trying to say to don't expect it to be a happily ever after. It won't be easy."

"I didn't once think it wouldn't be complicated. I mean, I am the Champion after all and he is the King of Team Plasma," I sigh and smile. "Anyway, Mother, I'm going to see if that girl is at her house. Tell Black that I love him and I'm sorry. Love you, mom." I quickly give her a hug, leave her room, and exit the house. "Braviary, take me to Aspertia City!"

"Brav?" he says and looks at me confused.

"Oh... we haven't been there yet... How do we get there? Maybe Bianca knows."
