Pokemon Black - Dragonspiral Tower

I headed north, starting on the path to Dragonspiral Tower. I was stopped by Bianca, and we saw Cedric at the gap between the trees leading to the tower. Cedric introduced himself to Bianca, and after a short talk decided they should chat later. Cedric then got down to business, telling us the situation.

It appeared that a large group from Team Plasma broke through the tower wall and went inside. Brycen and Cheren both went after Team Plasma, but there wasn't any information on their progress since they followed the group in. Bianca asked what Dragonspiral Tower was, and he explained to her that it had stood since long before Unova was founded, and that a Legendary Dragon-Type Pokemon waits for a person pursuing ideals to appear.

Cedric asked if we were going to go after Team Plasma like Cheren did, telling us it was admirable but also risky. Bianca told him not to worry, that both Cheren and I were very strong, and that we've beaten Team Plasma before. Bianca admitted to him that she's not very strong, and wanted to be Cedric's bodyguard. Cedric said that it made him feel much safer, and it was up to me to climb the tower, before he handed over Old Gateau.

I went forward through the clearing, and I found a new, metal bridge going through a large hole in the tower. I went through the hole and entered the tower, and found myself on some tiled platforms above the water. I quickly got into a battle with a wild Pokemon, and with a single blow Cole grew to Level 44. While on that first floor, I caught a Druddigon (Dragon, Male, Lv. 32), a Golett (Ground/Ghost, Lv. 32), and a Mienfoo (Fighting, Female, Lv. 33).

Before I could start on the second floor, the tower shook, and it felt like something was happening at the top of the tower. I reached the second floor, and was stopped by Cheren. who was standing on a raised platform to the west. He told me I could walk across the fallen pillars all around the floor, and then he continued on to fight Team Plasma.

Several pillars had fallen, making for paths I could walk across, and there was plenty of rubble from their destruction too. The problem I had was wondering if these pillars had fallen down years ago, or just recently from the commotion, and I wondered if they were supposed to hold up the tower? I snagged a Hyper Potion, then went across a couple fallen columns, and I snagged a Stardust before I continued west.

I went up some curved stairs to a third floor, and I found a platforming puzzle with platforms and ramps, where ramps led to different platforms. I made my way around, grabbed a Shiny Stone, then I got through the puzzle and went up another set of curved stairs to a fourth floor.

I found Cheren and Brycen both confronting a large group of Plasma Grunts, and Brycen told me they'd hold them there, and to go on ahead. Cheren was confident in his own abilities, but admitted that there were a lot of Plasma Grunts. I would help thin the herd, taking out a couple Grunts as I made my way past.

By the time I had reached the fifth floor, Arthur and Nora had both grown to Level 43, and I had snagged a Dragon Fang. I found that the fifth floor was a circular platform, spiraling around with steel slabs creating bridges as well as walls. It appeared Team Plasma had used the same panels that made the bridge to get further through the tower. I grabbed a Stardust, a Revive, and a Star Piece before I moved around to reach the sixth floor.

As I made my way to the sixth floor, the tower shook once more, and it appeared that something was on a rampage at the top of the tower. I grabbed a Max Elixir as I made my way through, and then I spotted one of the Seven Sages speaking to a group of Plasma Grunts. He told them that soon N would become the hero, before he noticed me.

The Sage was shocked that I had made it up there, and commanded his small army to stop me. They surrounded me, and he told me that anyone who isn't Team Plasma is an enemy. He commanded them to use all their powers to take me out, and I was forced to battle with them one by one. Through all the battles, Madelyn grew to Level 43, and afterwards they were forced to let me pass.

I reached the seventh floor, the top of the tower, where I saw N standing before a large, black Dragon-Type Pokemon, Zekrom. N asked me what I thought, asking how I liked the powerful form of this Pokemon who fights beside the hero that would lead the way to a new world. N told me Zekrom and he would head to the Pokemon League and defeat the Champion. N told me it would be the last time a Pokemon would be hurt in battle, and revealed that he wanted a world for Pokemon alone.

Zekrom left, and N told me that if I wanted to stop him, I would have to become a hero as well. N told me that Zekrom had a counterpart, Reshiram, and if it recognized me that we would finally be even, and only then could I try to stop him. He asked what I would do, predicting that I would indeed meet Reshiram. N said that my Pokemon believe in me so strongly, and wondered if I would be the one to interfere with his formula for changing the world. If I wanted to protect the bonds between people and Pokemon, I would have to find Reshiram, waiting for me in the form of the Light Stone.

Zekrom grabbed N and they flew away, and Cheren and Brycen both came up the stairs after. Cheren was amazed at what he just saw, and Brycen couldn't understand how this could happen. Cheren asked me why N was with that Legendary Pokemon, refusing to believe that N could be the hero. Cheren had overheard N telling me to search for the other Legendary Pokemon, and Brycen said that we needed to head back, that it was more important to decide what to do next than analyze what had just happened.

We all left the tower, meeting up with Cedric and Bianca. Cedric was amazed, never imagining that Zekrom would return, and Cheren told him that N had reawakened it. Cheren told Cedric what N had told me to do, and Bianca was surprised at news that there were two of these Pokemon. Someone called out to us, and we turned around to see Alder, the Champion.

Cedric tried to make smalltalk, but Alder told him it was no time for chitchat. Alder told us that Zekrom has the power to destroy the world, and that with it's power Team Plasma could force everyone to release their Pokemon. Alder said that with Zekrom's power, the world would become one where people are separated from Pokemon, and Cedric told Alder what N had said. Alder told us that according to legend, the power of Zekrom and Reshiram devastated ancient Unova in an instant, and couldn't believe that N could know that and still want to awaken the other.

Alder wasn't sure that other Pokemon could stand up to it, because it is a legendary being. He didn't like the idea of taking orders from N, but told us that searching for the other stone might not be a bad plan, telling us that we could not afford to let Team Plasma reawaken BOTH of those Pokemon. Alder said he had an idea of where it might be, telling us to head to the Relic Castle.

Cedric left to investigate inside the tower, and Brycen went with him. Cheren realized what strength was; being able to do something for somebody at a time like this, and that this strength is given to him by his Pokemon. Cheren went with Alder to the Relic Castle, and Bianca wasn't sure what to do, asking if I would go to the Relic Castle as well.

I went to the Pokemon Center to heal my team, and get ready for more fighting against Team Plasma. Now that I know N's ultimate goal, not just the separation of people and Pokemon, but also the annihilation of humanity itself, I knew I would HAVE to stop him!
