And a good game isn’t based on pixels alone!

…And so much I need to say about it all. Everything that happened, everything that will happen now…There’s just so much.

But, I need time. Everything happened so quickly, though it took well over a week…

I know I knew deep down it would come to this, of course, yet—

No. I knew this would end as it did. How could it end any other way, really? Still, I need time to go everything once more in my mind…in my heart. I, too, need to find answers right now before explaining the questions…

Then I will start from the beginning of it all, right after winning my eight badge and making it to the Elite Four.

The Search For the Light Stone

Fri, 08 Jul 2011 04:40:00 -0400

When I left the Dragonspiral Tower, I was bombarded right after with questions from so many people—even Juniper’s father was there. I knew that I still had the eigth gym to face, but there was the Light Stone. After telling them about how N had told me to find it, I was told where to find it. I felt so silly; I had already searched all of the Desert Ruins I could and found nothing. How could looking again make much difference? But, once we all flew to the site we discovered another part had been recently cleared out and was now explorable.

It didn’t take too long until I found it. But, when I picked it up it did nothing. Zekrom had just appeared for N, hadn’t it? Surely the Light Stone was a fake or maybe…

No, I don’t want to consider it. I don’t want to think that N might succeed in achieving his dream. It’s such a terrible dream; to have a world separate from Pokemon. How did he ever think of such a thing when he himself seemed so close to his? I don’t understand it, but…its something I will think about later on.

Anyway, Professor Cedric Juniper says that Lenora might be able to help me learn more about the stone; she is the director of her own museum. She knows about fossils and such. With luck, maybe there’s just something I’m missing, and not…No, I simply won’t think of that. It’s not an option.

I have to awaken Reshiram. I have to face Zekrom. And most importantly—if not most difficultly—I have to defeat N. For both Pokemon and trainers alike.

I just have to keep reminding myself that.

Well, kidding—already engaged. But God, if my fiance wasn’t so awesome and I didn’t totally love him more than anything I’d honestly make an offer.

CAUSE YOU ARE THE COOLEST PERSON EVER!!!!!! ))

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 07:10:00 -0400

The Dragonspiral Tower wasn’t what I expected. Or, well…I didn’t really know what to expect. I can honestly say I was scared going in. From the ground it just looked so…looming. So dark and mystical. Victories over all those Plasma grunts helped restore my confidence, though. By the time I had reached Brycen and Cheren I was feeling pretty good about the whole ordeal. Having them close by and ready if something went wrong made those final steps to the top easier.

…I still can barely believe it. But, I can’t not believe it when I saw it with my own eyes. I remember coming up the steps and feeling the ground shake…I remember what he had said before—N.

“Now I know what power I need. Zekrom! The legendary Pokémon that, along with the hero, created the Unova region. It’s my turn to become that hero—and you and I will be friends!”

I didn’t believe it—didn’t think it was really possible. Not just the first part, but the last. I wondered how he could tell me he was going to make sure that Pokemon and people were taken from each other and never allowed to be together again, that he wanted to keep me and my Pokemon apart, and still say we’d be friends.

But as I watched Zekrom land beside you…I can’t deny it. You said to find Reshiram, to try and awaken it and face you, hero-to-hero…I don’t know which surprised me more; that you were in fact one of the legendary heroes, or that you believe I may be one, too. But that isn’t important really, is it? You are, and I may be. And I will listen to your words, take your advice though it would mean the possibility of your dream being shattered. Which makes me wonder…

Do you want me to find Reshiram and face you because you think you’ll win…or you hope you’ll lose?

(( OOC:

Okay, so before I get to a post on Touko’s journey through teh DT, I just wanted to step-in a talk about my real-life boyfriend. Well, fiance, though the word still makes him a bit breathless and deer-in-the-headlights-y.

This is me, and my love, Billy. He’s been my life for over a year and a half now. I love him more than anything in the world, and if talking about Touko’s feelings for N in a tumblr blog makes him jealous, I’m going to let everybody who sees this know who really has MY heart. :) Because I love you more than anything, Billy. More than Pokemon, more than my awesome Gardevoir Athena, more than all the shinies you could shove into the storage.

He’s been there for me through many, many things in my life. Times when things between my best friends were going wrong, when my family was getting overwhelming, when school was taking its toll, and when my past was breaking my present. He has—and continues to still today—supported me even when I’ve doubted myself more than anything, and made me realize that love is real, that marriage won’t mean learning to hate somebody you love, and teaching me that not every guy in my life will leave me or hurt me. He’s helped repair the damage of years and years of things I still feel I won’t ever be able to face completely…but he’s working on it with me, and helping me come to terms with it if nothing else.

He makes me laugh and always makes my troubles disappear when we’re together. I have theories about him being an awesome Japanese-made cyborg, but…he eats and doesn’t spark when we go swimming, so yeah. And I know he’s not prefect—but he’s the closest I’ve ever seen to it. He makes me want to be a better person because he’s a better person than I think I might ever be. But for him, I try everyday.

He’s shown me that people can be selfless and kind, genuine and intelligent. That lvoe doesn’t have to be based one lies and money, or owing somebody. And more than that, that love doesn’t hurt—that it doesn’t mean trying to be somebody you not to make somebody you care about care about you, too. It’s simply wanting to be the kind of person that person would be proud to say, “That’s the one I love. The one I want to spend my entire life with.”

And Billy…you’re that person. You’re MY true love, my soul-mate, and the man I want to be with for the rest of my life. I want to be your best friend forever, your wife until we’re old and wrinkly, and the mother of your children. And I know I will be. :)

Billy, I love you more than anything, and will always be here for you no matter what. ))

I overheard that today is Kissing Day. There are plenty of people I believe would be quite pleasurable to kiss… if they would allow me to.

You could kiss me!

But please, keep it to the cheeks and forehead.

Shadow Triad

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 17:37:00 -0400

They always give me the creeps, but when they ambushed me, Cheren, Bianca, and Brycen outside of his gym…I swear, I almost dropped my bag. But when they said N wanted to see me…My heart skipped a beat. Nobody noticed of course; they were busy announcing they were heading to Dragonspiral Tower. Though, Bianca was a little hesitant; can’t blame her; I would be too if N wasn’t waiting…

I know that isn’t the point of going—or at least, I know it shouldn’t be. I have to stop Team Plasma. I have to save Pokemon and people alike before they try to separate them…But I can’t help the overwhelming feelings N stirs in me.

Maybe he really is different. Or, well…different in a way that’s different from the normal sort of different. It doesn’t make sense, but I’ve been told I’m different; and that would make N a whole other galaxy of different.

Not that that’s a bad thing. In fact I think its part of why he has captivated me so easily…But for now, I have to remember why I’m really going to the Tower. Why I have to stop Team Plasma.

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 17:11:00 -0400

I’ll admit it—I was not looking forward to facing the Ice gym. Not because I thought Manny and Miji would have any trouble with the Cubchoos and stuff; I really hate sliding on the ice! Its cold and I smash right into rocks and mounds of ice. I wonder who in the world would find it fun, because I certainly do not.

But it went quick enough. It only took as long as it did because I kept getting confused on the ice. But once I got past that and up to Brycen, my Pokemon were ready. Lucky for me, Manny packs a powerful Hammer Arm attack. Brycen’s ice-type team stood no chance, and I won with only poor Feliz getting knocked out. Guess I’ll need to train him a bit more…

And now that I defeated him I have to go stop Team Plasma at the Dragonspiral Tower…But a part of me knows I’m only going because I want to see him—N.

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 16:46:00 -0400

Last night I had a dream…In it, I was as Reshiram and he was as Zekrom. Not the Legends themselves, of course. But I knew who we were supposed to be…

But unlike the legends, we didn’t feud or destroy. Instead, we got along—like the beginning, we became one again. It was beautiful and impossible…right?

Tue, 05 Jul 2011 05:38:00 -0400

Isn’t he adorable! I got him a little while ago as a Mareep, but didn’t want to make him uncomfortable. Feliz, you see, hates the spotlight. Unlike Manny…that little hot-headed monkey loves stomping around in the Pokemon musicals!

But now that he’s asleep I can finally get a good shot of him. He evolved yesterday while I was fighting some Minccinos. Those things can be pretty tough, I tell you. But Miji, Feliz, and Manny sure pack a wallop together!

-fennel:

Happy Unova Day!

Damn, I totally blanked on Unova Day…Mom’s gonna be mad. Oh well, I was busy training my Miji and Manny for the seventh gym; she’ll understand. Got to get those fire-type moves and fighting-type moves perfected if I’ll ever beat Brycen…Though God how I hate sliding around on that ice!

Oh well…I hope everybody had fun! Save me some sweets?

Music makes being on the road easier.

Until it reminds me of you…You’re not only in my head but ringing in my ears! How’ve you jumbled me up with words and a ferris wheel ride?

I want it to stop, and yet never want it to end…

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:49:00 -0400

I hope it went like this. For me it did, but for you…Did your words mean more than what you believed they did?

Or was that just the dizziness from the height making me all wistful? Only you know.

Do only I hope?

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:27:00 -0400

We started so long ago! The four of us, all ready to explore new cities and find new Pokemon.

Only later did I find out there were five, not four…Isn’t it amazing how you can be so oblivious to things that seem so important later on? I could barely believe Team Plasma and N had traveled halfway around Unova before I ever knew of their—of his—existence. But now I’m taking note of where he goes, what Team Plasma does. Rumors, whispers, signs, tv reports…My eyes and ears are glued to my surroundings more than ever.

Goes to show that I don’t just slide down hills and tumble off ledges for no reason, then…Though looking out for those would help a lot.

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:04:00 -0400

I remember that day so well…Hard to think it was the first time we really talked. I didn’t know what to think when we got on, but by the time we got off, I knew exactly what I thought.
