Pokemon Black - Searching for the Seven Sages Part 1

I found myself back home, in my room, looking a LOT nicer than when I left it at the start of my journey. I headed downstairs, and spotted Mom, and someone who looked EXACTLY like Mom!

I came up to them, and the doppelganger admired the journey I had been on. They thought it was amazing that I met those two Pokemon of legend, and before they continued they realized they were still wearing their disguise. The person took off their disguise, and revealed himself to be a man, and a police officer.

The man told me he was an elite member of the International Police, and told me his code name was Looker. Apparently he had known of Team Plasma's actions in Unova, and he had come to Unova, but by the time he got here the Gym Leaders and myself had stopped Team Plasma. Looker told me that the members had gone their separate ways, but the Seven Sages were still hiding in the Unova region.

Looker asked me to travel through the Unova region and search high and low for the Seven Sages. He told me that Alder recommended me for the job, and I was more than willing to help him bring down those assholes and stop Team Plasma from ever returning. I agreed to help, and he handed over the Super Rod which both Mom and I found to be odd. Mom asked him why he gave me the Super Rod and what it had to do with finding the Seven Sages, and he admitted that it had absolutely nothing to do with the task at hand.

Looker left, and Mom wished me luck before I left the house. I found Cheren and Bianca outside, and asked if Looker was done talking with me. Bianca apologized to me, telling me that by the time she went to get the Striaton City Gym Leaders everything was over. Cheren told us that he also let Ghetsis escape when the Shadow Triad created an opening. Bianca didn't know about them, and Cheren said he would tell her about the Castle later.

Cheren asked Bianca what she planned to do now, and she told us she would go to Black City, which was located on the other side of Route 16. He told her that she could meet all sorts of Pokemon if she went that way, Pokemon she's never seen before. Before too long Cedric came by, glad to see us all together. He told us he had just received the National Pokedex from a colleague, and he upgraded our Pokedexes with the National Mode.

Cedric left soon after, and Bianca reflected on all the Pokemon out there she's never seen, then she left to show her parents. Cheren told me he would travel through Unova, starting at Route 1 again, and thought he'd discover many new things. He thought perhaps he would encounter the Seven Sages along the way, but I was hoping I could take them all down myself. Cheren left after asking to battle again someday, and I was ready to start my journey to find the Seven Sages.

First thing I did was fly to Accumula Town to put Reshiram in the PC and get Zach back in my team. After that I got some leads, and went surfing on Route 1 to get to land and reach Route 17, then I continued to reach Route 18. I remembered there being a secret lab over there, and even before I could reach it I found the first of the Seven Sages, Sage Rood.

Sage Rood reflected on the scent of the sea as he stared out at it, and told me it had the same smell as the place he was born. Sage Rood told me that Ghetsis wandered all over the world, collecting knowledge of all kinds while he searched for like-minded people. Ghetsis understood what Rood desired the moment they met, the ability to understand the minds and needs of others. He said that this was an ability that everyone needs to survive.

Rood told me that N was a kind and excellent person who understands the hearts of Pokemon, but conversely that his ability to understand the hearts and feelings of people wasn't developed enough. Rood reflected on the fact that even that was part of Ghetsis' plan, and told me when it came to Ghetsis that he couldn't separate the truths from the lies.

Rood handed over TM32 (Double Team) and told me that if N ever gained the ability understand the hearts and feelings of people, he would like them to gather again. He told me he wished to see N confront Ghetsis, but that wouldn't be possible with the latter in prison. Looker came by to arrest the Sage, telling me there were 5 more he needed to find and interrogate.

I remembered the schemes of Team Plasma to use Musharna's Dream Powder to warp the minds of people, so I went to the Dreamyard to find another of the Seven Sages. I went down some large stairs and found many people down there, ready to fight. I got into a couple battles with Scientists near the entrance, and though their Pokemon were strong my team was able to beat them, and through the battles both Madelyn and Zach grew to Level 58, and Cole grew to Level 59.

 I saw more Scientists around, ready to battle, and I fought through them all. By the end of all those battles Madelyn, Nora, Arthur, and Mason all grew to Level 59. I finally left the area down below, and came across Sage Gorm.

He startled me, asked if I was surprised, then told me that he was surprised by me. He told me that both Pokemon and people leave themselves open if surprised. Gorm told me that when surprised they can't use their powers like they normally would, and that their intention was to surprise people by making their castle appear and showing off the Legendary Pokemon.

At that moment they had planned to control people's hearts with the power of Team Plasma and their idea of a new world. Gorm told me that after he had seen the strength of spirit in myself and the Gym Leaders, he wondered how effective that strategy would have been. He wondered if perhaps that strength of spirit is what's needed to take Pokemon to the next level.

Sage Gorm apologized for wasting my time with this conversation, and handed over TM75 (Swords Dance) before Looker came to arrest him too. I decided to stop my search for now so I could train my team, because of how strong these Trainers had been, and I anticipated that they wouldn't get any weaker from there.

Needless to say, I would bring each of the Seven Sages to justice for what they had done, and what they had tried to do. None of them would get away.

Current Team:

Zach (Liepard, Dark, Lv. 58)
Madelyn (Unfezant, Normal/Flying, Lv. 59)
Mason (Zebstrika, Electric, Lv. 59)
Arthur (Simisage, Grass, Lv. 59)
