The years after the fall of Team Plasma were nothing short of freeing for N. N had settled down somewhere and built a home. A real home. The bright and colorful walls of his room were exchanged for a cozy one. The cabin was lined with thick furs and rugs for the winter, the hearth was always lit and he had a porch. He always dreamt of a porch; he thought they were neat. Reshiram stayed nearby or in the fenced area behind the house. His Zoroark and Purrloin were free to move in or out of the house as they pleased. Wild Pokémon sometimes came by and he could catch snippets of their conversations. Their daily lives were fascinating to him-- you could catch him just observing them for hours at a time.

Tonight was no different. You had started cooking up a hearty stew for the both of you. Reshiram, N's Zoroark and Purrloin already were served their dinner and actively eating outside in the fenced yard. N was skimming through your Pokèdex with gusto when a knock on the door interrupted both your trains of thought. N casted a quizzical glance your way before getting up and walking to the door. He leaned to one side in an attempt to see through the curtains, but couldn't make out much. The wooden door moaned and groaned against the hinges as N opened it. He was surprised to see it was a person at this hour. For a moment, he thought it was a lost hiker. "Are you-" "You know Pokémon right?!" The man asked hurriedly. He looked disheveled. "Yes.. Why?" The man reached into his jacket and held out.. a Zorua? It had white and blue fur instead of black and red. It didn't even look like a shiny Zorua, they would've been black and blue if they were. "I found them on the trail.. It's young and weak." N frowned and held out his hands for the Pokémon. The man practically shoved it into N's hands without a second though. "I checked the Pokédex, but nothing came up. I didn't know what to do." N looked down at the Pokémon with a raised brow. Its eyes were closed and so were its ears it seemed. "I'll see to them.. Thank you." With that, N closed the door and turned to face you with a nervous expression.
