It was Summer when I started started north on Route 8, and I quickly got into a battle with a Pokemon Ranger. I defeated him easily, then I snagged a Poison Barb before I started heading east, where I quickly found TM36 (Sludge Bomb). I quickly got into a battle with a Parasol Lady, and through it all Zach grew to Level 47. I continued east and fought against another Pokemon Ranger, and I defeated her and snagged a nearby Ultra Ball before I headed north through a clearing in the trees.
I found myself in the Moor of Icirrus, and I shoved a boulder over to the west to explore. I snagged an Ultra Ball and a Carbos before I got into another battle with another Parasol Lady. After I beat her, I headed back north, and got into another battle with a Pokemon Ranger. I found a Max Elixir and a Max Potion, then Arthur grew to Level 47 in a wild Pokemon battle before I continued east.
I found a Max Revive, and then I battled a Fisherman and a Pokemon Ranger. Nora grew to Level 47, and then I found myself at the end of the area. I went back on Route 8, and headed east again, where a Parasol Lady gave me TM42 (Facade). I continued east and battled a Fisherman, and Madelyn grew to Level 47. I fought against another Parasol Lady, then another one gave me a Damp Rock before I went to the gate to the east.
Before I could go through the gateway, I was stopped by Bianca. She told me she had been traveling lately, and had been thinking about things. Bianca thought about what she could do with her life, what she wanted to do, and she started thinking about being a model like Elesa, and doing research on Pokemon like Professor Juniper.
Bianca said she would have to know a lot about Pokemon to be like Professor Juniper, and asked that I battle with her. I agreed, and thus my next battle with Bianca began.
I sent Mason out against her Stoutland, and it used it's Intimidate ability to lower Mason's attack. Mason hit Stoutland with Thunder Wave to paralyze it, and it couldn't move, leaving it open for a Thunderbolt which did massive damage, before Stoutland used Work Up to raise it's attack and special attack.
Mason used another Thunderbolt, and Stoutland was knocked out. Serperior was sent out, and I had Cole fight against it. Serperior used Coil to increase it's attack, defense, AND accuracy before Cole knocked it out with a single Flamethrower.
Simipour was sent out by Bianca, and I had Mason go out to fight it, knocking out Simipour with a single Spark, before he grew to Level 47. I had Mason learn Wild Charge in place of Spark, and then I sent Zach out against Bianca's final Pokemon, Musharna.
Zach hit Musharna with Night Slash, and it was down in a single blow. I won the battle with that attack, and Bianca complimented me on my skills. Bianca gave me a Full Restore, and then she reflected on her Pokemon being stolen in Castelia City. Bianca told me because of that she understood the pain that people would feel if they were forced to liberate their Pokemon. Bianca asked me to stop Team Plasma, to not allow Pokemon to be stolen from Trainers who love them.
Bianca left shortly after that, and I went through the gateway. The gateway had a model of the bridge I was going to cross, and I found it interesting to have something there without a data screen or guide. I went through the gateway and found myself on Tubeline Bridge, walking a path above a pair of train tracks that were heading in two directions.
I talked with a couple people on the bridge, one of which warned me of being there on weekends, and another who gave me TM43 (Flame Charge). I continued on, and saw Ghetsis at the end of the path. Before I could confront him, I was stopped by the Shadow Triad, who commanded me to follow them.
The Shadow Triad led me to Ghetsis, and they appeared behind him instead before he talked with me. Ghetsis congratulated me on obtaining the Light Stone, and he told me that N thought that the two holders of the Legendary Pokemon should put their beliefs on the line and strive to find which is the true hero.
Ghetsis told me this wasn't necessary, that from N's infancy Ghetsis himself had provided him with the education required to become the hero of legend. Ghestis claimed that the proof was shown by his acknowledgement by the Legendary Pokemon.
Ghetsis said that the liberation of Pokemon of which he spoke was the separation of Pokemon from "foolish people." Ghestis said that it was the truth, that all Trainers would become helpless to resist them, that Team Plasma alone would be able to use Pokemon. It was just as I feared, Ghestis was planning on using N to separate Pokemon from people, only to use the strength of their Pokemon to rule over the world!
Ghestis started gloating, telling me that when his plan was set in motion, first a few gullible Pokemon Trainers who can't resist Team Plasma would release their Pokemon, then it would grow to the hundreds and thousands. Eventually even the Gym Leaders and the Champion would be unable to fight them. He said that having a Pokemon would be considered a bad thing, even people like Bianca would be unable to face public opinion and would have to release their Pokemon.
Ghetsis continued, saying that while I may have the Stone, there was no chance at all that the Legendary Pokemon would accept me as the hero. He told me if I wasn't willing to hand over my Pokemon, that I would have to search for some courage because I would need it.
Ghetsis left, and the Shadow Triad disappeared, and I continued through the gateway. I went through and reached Route 9, and just as I got through the gate I was tossed TM56 (Fling) from a nearby Pitcher.
I continued forward, and was stopped by a Biker. I battled with him, then I fought a Roughneck to the north and beat him easily. Cole grew to Level 48, and after the guy's demands to steal my Pokemon if I lost, admitted that he wasn't low enough to actually steal Pokemon like Team Plasma.
I put Arthur at the head of the team, and I got into a Double Battle against a pair of Hooligans, and they were beaten easily. I continued along the path and got into another battle with another Biker, who went down quickly. I found myself in front of Shopping Mall Nine, and I decided to check it out.
I bought some supplies from the mall, and got into some battles, and I received a Thunderstone as well. Through the battles Arthur grew to Level 48, and then I made my way out and finally reached Opelucid City.
When I got to Opelucid City, I was stopped by Alder, who guided me to a speech being made by Ghetsis and Team Plasma. Alder seemed to hate Ghetsis, calling him a liar trying to con everyone with his speech. Ghetsis told the people gathered that N had joined forces with the Legendary Dragon-Type Pokemon and intended to create a new world.
Ghetsis told the people that they would herald the return of the hero of Unova, continuing on to state that Pokemon were different from people, being living beings with unknown potential, living beings whom people have much to learn from. Ghetsis told them how Pokemon are beings whose greatness should be acknowledged, who should be freed from oppression.
Ghetsis continued, telling the people Team Plasma invited them to join them in their goal to create a new world where people and Pokemon are both free, and he asked the people to release their Pokemon. Ghetsis thanked everyone for their attention, and left with his small army of Plasma Grunts.
The people started talking among themselves, wondering if they'd been making Pokemon suffer, and some wondered if they should release their Pokemon like Team Plasma said. One rejected their demand outright, saying he'd be lonely and sad without his Pokemon.
The group dispersed, and there were a couple people remaining who talked about the strange speech they had witnessed. I realized one of them was a familiar face, and they continued talking among themselves about how if Pokemon didn't want anything to do with people then they would simply leave.
Alder said we should go talk with them, and he greeted them as Iris and Drayden. I remembered Iris, but had forgotten her name; She helped protect Bianca back when her Pokemon were stolen in Castelia City. Iris remembered me too, and it seems also forgot my name. Iris wondered what Alder could need from them, and Alder requested information about the Legendary Dragon-Type Pokemon.
Iris asked if he was talking about Zekrom or Reshiram, and wondered what the sudden interest was. Drayden told Alder that Ghetsis had come, telling people a Trainer named N had reawakened Zekrom. Alder explained the situation, and then he told me he would be returning to the Pokemon League. Alder was confident that he could defeat N, that he would teach N about the beauty of the world where Pokemon and Trainers live together in harmony.
Alder told me to come see him in the Pokemon League once I'd obtained the Opelucid Badge. He warned me about the strength of the Gym Leader, before telling me to take care. Alder told Drayden and Iris that he was counting on them, then he left us alone.
Iris was disappointed when he left, but said that he looked kinda scary. Drayden told her not to worry, that he was the strongest Trainer in all of Unova. Drayden told me to come to his home, that he would tell me everything he could about the Legendary Dragon-Type Pokemon.
I was led by Iris to the Pokemon Center, and she went down a road toward her home, waiting for me. Before I could do anything more, I would need to get my team healed at the Pokemon Center and ready for whatever would happen.
