N... The king of Team Plasma. Although he was currently just a puppet, his abilities were still exceptional. However, kings are often lonely. Thus, N had very few friends; besides Pokémon, he had almost no friends at all.
But there are always exceptions to the rule. Even N had someone he considered a friend, or perhaps even a best friend.
Beep beep beep.
"This is N. Well, the only person who can call this number is you, Ash. What's up? Calling instead of texting?"
Knowing that Ash was the only one who had this mobile number, N went straight to the point.
On the other end of the line, Ash sounded a bit helpless. "N, I need your help figuring something out regarding Pokémon."
"Hm?"
Hearing this, N's interest was instantly piqued. He discreetly signaled his two sisters to come over. He had a premonition that he was about to hear some absolute explosive gossip.
"Tell me, Ash. I know quite a lot about Pokémon. But don't you have Meowth to translate for you?"
"I asked Meowth, but Meowth can't give me a straight answer. So I can only turn to you."
Now N was even more intrigued. "Go on. Maybe I can help."
"It's like this. I have a Ralts, you know that, right?"
"Yes, of course I do. What about her?"
"She evolved into a Gardevoir."
"That's a good thing. Evolving in response to your feelings."
"Right, but ever since she evolved, she's been acting really weird. Did you know? Whenever I sleep with my Pokémon, the moment I open my eyes every morning, I'm always greeted by Gardevoir making this extremely weird face at me."
"Hm?"
N, Anthea, and Concordia exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Elaborate."
"How do I put it... Every time I wake up, Gardevoir is always incredibly close to my face, looking weird, and muttering something. Actually, I recorded it. You listen to it and tell me what's going on."
Then, Gardevoir's voice played through the phone. To the ears of N, Anthea, and Concordia, it sounded like this:
(Damn it! That stupid alarm clock! My morning kiss plan!)
(Why does Darling set the alarm for a different time every day?! Ahhh! My morning kiss!)
(Ugh! That damn Squirtle! Sleeping practically glued to Darling like a baby! Can't you just let me monopolize Darling for a little bit?!)
After hearing the recording, N and his two sisters' jaws literally hit the floor. Such explosive gossip actually existed! They had heard of humans marrying Gardevoirs before—hell, N's own mother was supposedly a Pokémon—but this was clearly a case of a Gardevoir aggressively pursuing the human! And taking full advantage of the fact that Ash couldn't understand her!
"N, are you listening? N?"
After finally pushing his jaw back into place, N hastily replied, "Ash, I've confirmed a few things on my end. Do you have any other recordings?"
"Yeah, I specifically recorded them to ask you. Listen."
(There are too many people here. When will I ever get to night-raid Darling?)
(Sigh... This feeling... is so hard to convey to Darling. If Darling finds out I can communicate with him telepathically, I won't be able to call him 'Darling' without holding back...)
(Ahhhhh!!! Why are Squirtle and the others so clingy with Darling?! Can't they just sleep by themselves?!)
(Ah! I'm going to night-raid Darling tonight! Right here, right now!)
"Sorry guys, Lara and I have something to take care of today."
(NOOOO!!!)
After hearing the recordings, N's face was entirely red from holding back his laughter. Anthea and Concordia had already run off to the side, laughing hysterically. N had to hold it in; if he laughed out loud now, it would ruin everything!
"N, what's wrong with my Gardevoir? Is she sick? But she looks perfectly healthy to me."
"Pfft..."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Sorry. I burned myself while drinking tea."
Nearly bursting into laughter, N hurriedly took a deep breath. He was genuinely afraid he was going to lose it.
"Oh, be careful. So, can you give me some advice?"
Hearing Ash's question, N, unable to hide the grin on his face, smiled and said, "Actually, Gardevoir just feels a bit lost after evolving and doesn't quite know how to get along with you yet. When she was a Ralts, she needed you to hold her hand while she floated around. Now that she's a Gardevoir, she's a bit unsure of what to do."
"Really? This kid..."
Seeing Ash fall for the bait hook, line, and sinker, N's smile grew even wider as he continued, "Since that's the case, Ash, what you need to do is actually very simple. Just spend more time with her. Trust me, her mood will improve significantly. Oh, right, when you sleep with your Pokémon at night, try to hold Gardevoir in your arms. This will make her feel safe. Also, she's a bit jealous of Squirtle, which is why she makes that face in the morning."
"Ohhhh! I see. Thanks, N! It's easy once I know what's going on. Then I'll do exactly as you suggested. Thanks, N!"
"You're welcome. Let's keep in touch. My adoptive father doesn't really want me contacting you too much, though."
"Tch, I'll just beat that guy up when the time comes. Anyway, thanks a lot."
After Ash hung up the phone, N slowly put the receiver down. After double-checking that the call was definitely disconnected...
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
On that day, the laughter of N, Anthea, and Concordia never stopped.
