See the bottom of the script for a guide on how lines change in White - note there are some spoilers involved. Should the game use only Hiragana and Katakana lettering? Or should it use Kanji? [ Kana / Kanji ] << Juniper's intro >> Hi there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! You can call me Juniper. But you'll hear people calling me the Pokémon Professor. (She brings out Minccino.) Right! This world is full of Pocket Monsters... Well, usually called "Pokémon" for short! And they're fantastic creatures! Pokémon possess miraculous power, come in all shapes and sizes, live in all kinds of locales... And we humans live together with them in peace! We're always there for each other, the both of us. But joining forces to help each other can often be a difficult task. And while it's their most popular role of all, making fellow Pokémon fight only binds them further. And that's why I study Pokémon. (Minccino disappears.) Now, that's quite enough about me... Won't you tell me some about yourself? (Gender selection comes up.) Are you a boy? Or are you a girl? (Select.) You're a girl, then? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Well, I want to know your name, too! So... tell me your name! [ Name entry ] White, is it? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Your name's White! That's just wonderful! Now then, allow me to introduce the friends who'll be with you on the way. (Cheren appears.) This boy here is Cheren. He's a bit moody at times, but he's very frank about things. (Bianca appears.) And this girl is Bianca. She tends to take things at her own pace, but she's a persistent one for sure. And now, I've given the three of you a present containing your precious, long-awaited Pokémon. White!! From the moment you choose your Pokémon partner for the journey ahead... That is when the tale of your own adventure begins! On this journey, you will meet countless Pokémon, and many people who think in different ways! Through all these meetings, I deeply hope you find something that you alone can treasure... Right! As you come into contact with people and Pokémon, you will mature as a person. And that is the greatest goal of your adventure! So, let us be off! Into the world of Pokémon! << White's room >> Cheren: White! I heard from Professor Juniper... So did you get the Pokémon? ... ... ... ... ... ... And Bianca's her usual...? (Bianca comes running upstairs.) Bianca: Uhhh, I'm so sorry! I know, I'm late again... Cheren: Hey, Bianca! I've known you were a slowpoke for ten years now, but sheesh... Today's the day you get your Pokémon from Professor Juniper, remember? Bianca: Okay, I said I'm sorry! Sorry, White, Cheren... So, where are the Pokémon? Since they were sent to White's house, I'd say White gets to choose first. Cheren: Well, of course. Our Pokémon await us inside that box... Well, White? Take the first step and check it out! Hurry, we want to meet our Pokémon! Bianca: Heyyy, what kind of Pokémon do you think they are...? Cheren: Won't you open the box, already? I'm sure the Pokémon are dying to meet us, too! [White opened up the present box!] (Letter from Juniper:) ...I've delivered three Pokémon along with this letter. You and your friends should get together and choose among yourselves. Well, my regards! - Juniper (The box opens.) Choose a Pokémon! Grass Pokémon "Snivy" Fire Pokémon "Tepig" Water Pokémon "Oshawott" Is this Pokémon alright? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] White obtained Oshawott! Bianca: Well! I choose this Pokémon! And Cheren gets that one! Cheren: And why are YOU choosing my Pokémon...? Well, not like I didn't want Snivy from the start anyway. Bianca: Everyone's chosen their own Pokémon! ...Which means... Heyyy! Let's have a Pokémon battle! Cheren: ...Uh, Bianca? Our Pokémon are still weak. And there's no sense in a Pokémon battle indoors! Bianca: Gosh, it's fiiiiine! Like you said, our guys are still weak, right? And we gotta raise 'em somehow, so why not fight! Thus and thus... White! Let's start out with a Pokémon battle! Pokémon Trainer Bianca challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Yaaah!! That HUUURT!! I'm not letting you do THAT again!! (At low health:) Ooh, I'm making a mess of things... I can't do this all that well! (End of battle:) ...Regardless of the Pokémon, I DID do my best, okay?! (White's room is wrecked.) [ If you won ] Bianca: Phewww... White... You sure are gonna be an awesome Trainer, aren't you? That's how I feel, anyway! [ If you lost ] Bianca: Phewww... I was kinda in a daze there, and wasn't sure what moves I was picking, but I guess I won... Cheren: ... ... ... ... ... ... Bianca... Look around, would you? Bianca: WAAAH! W-What's all this about?! Pokémon are MIND-BLOWING!! And to think they're so dinky...! I'm sure glad I could have a Pokémon! ...Oh... sorry, White. Cheren: ...There's really nothing to be done with you, is there... Here! I'll recover your wounded Pokémon... [Cheren recovered Bianca's Pokémon!] And of course, White's Pokémon needs to recover, too. [Cheren recovered White's Pokémon!] Bianca: Heyyy! How about you fight a Pokémon battle, Cheren? Now that you know how it goes, you can fight like a pro and not make any of the screwups I did! Cheren: W-Well, of course...! On top of my knowledge, I won't have to worry so much about messing up the room. And most importantly... only the two of you getting to enjoy a battle wouldn't be fair at all. So... I challenge you! This will be our first Pokémon battle! Snivy... I'll show them your power! Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) I've finally become a Trainer... It all starts here! (At low health:) I'm not finished yet! This is the moment I've been studying for! (End of battle:) ...! So THIS is a Pokémon battle! [ If you won ] Cheren: I may have come away from my first Pokémon battle with failure, but... This intense excitement... I've finally become a Trainer! [ If you lost ] Cheren: This intense excitement... I've finally become a Trainer! ...And yet, I suppose we'll have to apologize for the state of your room to your mom. Bianca: Oh! Yeah, me too! Cheren: I'm truly sorry that we caused such a ruckus. Bianca: U-Um, we'll clean it up... Mom: Clean it up? Oh, it's fine, it's fine! I'll take care of it later. Better that you go meet Professor Juniper, am I right? Cheren: Yes, ma'am! Well, if you'll excuse me. I must be off to give my thanks to Professor Juniper. I'll be waiting in front of the Pokémon lab. (Cheren leaves.) Bianca: Oh! I've got to go home for a sec. Thanks, ma'am! Sorry for being a nuisance! (Bianca leaves.) Mom: White... Pokémon battles are exceptionally lively, aren't they! I heard Pokémon cries and the like from all the way from down here! Your very first Pokémon battle! Ah, how I remember my own... Right! I'll have to rest the Pokémon you battled with! (Da-da-dadaDA.) Your Pokémon is feeling great! Oh, and if you're going out, don't forget your Xtransceiver. [White obtained the Xtransceiver!] [White put the Xtransceiver in the Key Items pocket.] You're going to thank the Professor too, aren't you?! Well, be off, then! << Over at Bianca's house >> Bianca's Dad: No, no, and NO!! Bianca: But I... I got a Pokémon, and I'll be a great Trainer, watch! I can totally go on an adventure! (Bianca walks out and notices White.) Bianca: Ah! White! ...It's alright. ...Like, really! Well, I'll be waiting in front of the Pokémon lab. Bianca's Dad: How can this be?! How could our daughter go on an adventure with Pokémon... when she's so hopelessly naďve?! Bianca's Mom: He worries so much about our daughter. A child going on a Pokémon journey simply means they're becoming an adult. << Bianca and Cheren waiting outside the lab >> Bianca: ...Keep what you saw earlier a secret! Cheren: Well! Time to meet the Professor. << Inside the lab >> Hi there! I've been waiting for you, boys and girls! Allow me to introduce myself. My name's... Cheren: ...Professor Juniper? We already know your name. Juniper: Well! Aren't YOU so suave, Cheren? Today's a day worth commemorating! So make sure you stand up straight, huh? Now then, back to my introduction... My name's Juniper! I investigate when exactly the creatures we know as Pokémon were born. Ah, magnificent! You've already had some Pokémon battles, I see. Could it mean that your Pokémon have already begun putting their trust in you...? Yes, I feel it must! By the way, will you give a nickname to your Pokémon? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Juniper: I see, I see... So the nickname ___ is okay? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Juniper: ___, huh? Talk about a great name! [ No ] Juniper: I see, I see... No nickname for you. Well, some are like that. Juniper: Now then, the reason I gave you all Pokémon... Cheren: For the Pokédex, right? Bianca: Pokédex...? Juniper: Oh, marvelous! Spot on, Cheren! You're always studying up on Pokémon, eh? That said... Well, let me explain it formally for you all! A Pokédex is...! A high-tech device that will automatically record the Pokémon you meet! So, seeing as White and you two are going to a great many places, I want you to see all the Pokémon throughout the Unova region! Now then, listen to me... White! Cheren! Bianca! Go, and embark on a journey to complete the Pokédex! [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Juniper: Why, I never! What I WANTED to hear was that you'll scour the world! Have some courage! They're just words!! [ Yes ] Bianca: YESSSSS! I mean, yes, ma'am! Cheren: Thank you very much! It's all thanks to you that I could become a Pokémon Trainer like I always dreamed. Juniper: Thanks, everyone! That's the best reply I could expect! [White obtained the Pokédex!] Juniper: Now, the next step. I'll tell you how you can find Pokémon, so come onto Route 1! (Juniper leaves.) Bianca: Oh, well, if the Professor asked us... I guess it really is okay to go adventuring? And... it'll be okay to search for something to do with our lives along the way, right? Cheren: Yeah. As we go along completing our Pokédex, we can wander however we see fit. Bianca: I'm getting kinda nervous... Hey, White, what are you gonna do with your Oshawott? Cheren: ...I've finally become a Pokémon Trainer. And I'll fight other Trainers to get stronger, I will! << Stepping outside the lab >> Bianca: Heyyy! Wait up, White! Mom: There you are! So how did things go with the Professor? ... ... ... ... ... ... She asked you to complete the Pokédex?! Oh, WOW!! Well, um... Actually, being your mother, I already knew about that... Which is why I brought the three of you these Town Maps. [White obtained a Town Map!] [White put the Town Map in the Key Items pocket.] Mom: Here, Cheren. Cheren: I'll take good care of it. Mom: Okay, and Bianca too. Bianca: Th-Thank you sooooo much! Mom: I've got to go clean up White's room now, so again, don't you worry about that. Hey, White? At any rate, Pokémon really are amazing! Even the cute ones can be hiding unbelievable power and room-wrecking potential! So long as you're going to be with Pokémon, you can be at ease wherever you go! That's a message from me, but it's really from all your moms and dads! And it's not just about Pokémon. Unova is a beautiful place all on its own. So full of things to find... I know you'll grow into stupendous adults! Now, get going!! (Mom leaves.) Cheren: Using the Town Map, we can see where we are... I'm glad to have this. Well, off to Route 1? The Professor's waiting! Bianca: Ah, hold on! White, make sure you come quick! << Waiting in front of Route 1 >> Bianca: White! Over here! Cheren: Bianca thought that if we're going to start a journey, we ought to all start it with the same first step. Bianca: Hey, White! We're all gonna step onto Route 1 together! Cheren: Okay, here goes! Bianca: HEAVE!! (They all step forward. "Route 1" appears.) Bianca: AAAH! W-Whoa, I'm getting waaaaay too overexcited!! Cheren: Yeah, sure. Okay, the Professor's waiting. (They walk up to her standing in front of tall grass.) Cheren: Sorry to keep you waiting, Professor Juniper. Juniper: All present? Then I'll begin my explanation! Meeting Pokémon will automatically fill up the pages of the Pokédex! And! Catching a Pokémon will add further information about it! That said, I'll show you the catching of a Pokémon in action! (Juniper encounters a Patrat, weakens it with Minccino, and catches it.) Juniper: So, did you see that? I'll go over the main points. First, weaken the Pokémon! It's tricky trying to catch a healthy Pokémon. If possible, you can also use your Pokémon's moves to paralyze the Pokémon you want to catch, or put it to sleep! Now then, a Poké Ball present for you all! [White obtained Poké Balls!] [White put the Poké Balls into the Items pocket.] Juniper: Those Poké Balls are used to catch Pokémon. And once caught, they're also used to carry them around! Now then, I'll be waiting up ahead in Accumula Town! (Juniper leaves.) Cheren: By the way, Pokémon appear in grassy areas. Well, I'm heading to Accumula Town too. Bianca: Right! And if we don't go there, we won't be able to buy more Poké Balls! Bianca: Wait a second! Heyyy! White, Cheren? I just had a great idea! We... Cheren: Well, should we go? The Professor's waiting, remember. Bianca: Would you LISTEN when I'm talking?! How about we have a Pokémon catching competition? And the Pokémon we got from Professor Juniper count! The one with the most Pokémon wins! Cheren: I see... That could be fun, for sure. And it'd fill the pages of the Pokédex too, so the Professor would be delighted. Oh, by the way, until we reach Accumula Town, feel free to go back home to recover your Pokémon. Bianca: Me and Tepig are an unbeatable team! We're gonna come in first, I'm already sure of it! Cheren: White, would you compare with Bianca? Bianca and I are both tied at two Pokémon right now. Bianca: Well, White? Should we compare who has more Pokémon? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Bianca: Hmm... Well, I'll be waiting here. [ Yes ] Bianca: THREE?! Oh man! Oh, MAAAN!! Seeing that many Pokémon at once gives me butterfrees in my stomach! Cheren: By the way, if you check the Pokédex, it'll tell you how many Pokémon you've seen and caught so far. Well, to Accumula Town! The Professor's waiting! [The Xtransceiver is ringing.] [White connected to the Xtransceiver.] Juniper: Hi there! Everybody doing good? Looks like you're starting to get along with more Pokémon! Bianca: Oh, Professor! Juniper: I'm at the Accumula Town Pokémon Center! I've got some guidance to give you all, so hurry over here! Bianca: Understood! The Pokémon Center it is! Juniper: Okey-doke! See ya later! Cheren: ...Meaning we just need to go a little further ahead. << Juniper waiting outside the Pokémon Center >> Juniper: Hiiiii, White!! To walk down all roads with a Pokémon! That's the joy of a Trainer! Meaning! I need to tell you about the most important place for a Trainer, so come on in! (Juniper goes inside.) Juniper: This is a Pokémon Center! Almost soothing, isn't it? Now for my guided tour! (Juniper walks up to the nurse and Bianca joins.) Bianca: Oh, I'm here too! Juniper: The Pokémon Center is a wonderful place! Why's that? Because you can recover your Pokémon! And it's all free! These nurses are a Trainer's best friend! Now, White, try recovering your Pokémon! Juniper: You shouldn't be talking to me, talk to the helpful lady there! Bianca: I think you can trust them with your Pokémon, White. Good day! Welcome to the Pokémon Center. Here, we'll heal your Pokémon to perfect health! Shall we heal your Pokémon? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Okay, we'll take your Pokémon for a few seconds. (Da-da-dadaDA.) Thank you for waiting! Your Pokémon are all fit and healthy! We hope to see you again! Juniper: Okey-doke! Your Pokémon are feeling great! So next I'll explain the Pokémon Center's PCs! (She walks over to it.) Juniper: This is a PC! All Trainers are bound to use one sometime. You can leave Pokémon that are in your party here. On the flipside, you can also withdraw Pokémon you've left on the PC. By the way, whenever you should have six Pokémon in your party... If you catch a new one, the Pokémon will automatically be sent to the PC! Isn't technology grand?! Aren't you just floored?! Also, if you look at the Professor's PC, I'll do a Pokédex evaluation for you! Bianca: Professor... The screen says "Someone's PC"... Whose PC is that...? Juniper: My, Bianca! Good eye! That's a very good question. And one I'd like to answer, but for now, you can use it without worrying about that! That "someone" has set up a Pokémon storage system on their PC. I'm sure you'll meet them someday! Well, next on the list! (She walks over to the shopkeepers.) Juniper: Here's the Friendly Shop! They'll sell you helpful items. You can also sell them items you don't need! Just talk to that young man there! Give him a big smile! Juniper: SO, then! That means I've taught you the most basic of Trainer basics! I'll be heading back to Nuvema Town. But one last thing! If you go to Striaton City, meet up with the inventor Fennel. She's an old friend of mine, and she'll be a help on your adventure. And with that, I wish you luck! May your journey be an abundant one! Bianca: Hmm, what should I buy? I know Potions and Poké Balls are going to be important... << Stepping outside the Pokémon Center >> Something looks to be going on in the plaza! Hm, should we check it out? Cheren: White! Come see this! Ghetsis: I am Ghetsis... Ghetsis of Team Plasma. What I have to tell you all today concerns the liberation of Pokémon. ("Huh?" "What?") Ghetsis: We humans have lived together with Pokémon. We require things from each other, and consider some partners... All would seem to think this is the case, in fact. Yet, is it really true? We humans all entertain only that same thought... Has there never been the consideration that it might not be? Trainers order Pokémon to do whatever they please... They work them hard under the guise of being partners... What if that were to be prevented by someone to clearly divide them? ("Gasp!" "That's..." "Wha?") Ghetsis: Don't you agree, everyone? Pokémon are creatures whose sheer potential is limited by humans. We are beings who feel they must study a great many things. But what should we humans do to be ambassador to the oppressed Pokémon? ("Whaaat?" "Liberate...?") Ghetsis: Correct! We must liberate the Pokémon!! And once we do, humans and Pokémon will for the first time stand as equals. Everyone, please do consider what must be done to properly get along with Pokémon. And thus, I, Ghetsis, conclude my speech. Thank you for your attention. Old Man: That speech... Hm, what should we do? Young Man: Liberate Pokémon? Now THAT'S a crazy idea! ???: Your Pokémon... They speak to me... Cheren: ...Boy, you talk fast, don't you? Also, they... speak to you? What an odd thing to say. ???: Yes, they do. So... perhaps you cannot hear them...? Pitiable... My name is N. Cheren: ...Well, I'm Cheren, and this is White. We were asked to complete the Pokédex, so we're on a journey to do that. Though my primary goal is to be the Champion... N: The Pokédex, hm...? That would require a great many Pokémon to be imprisoned in Poké Balls... I, too, am a Trainer, but I am always doubting. Am I making my Pokémon happy, I ask...? White, was it? Let me hear more of your Pokémon's voices! Pokémon Trainer N challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) More! Let me hear more from your Pokémon! (End of battle:) There are Pokémon who would say such things...?! N: Restrained to imprisonment in Poké Balls... Pokémon cannot be perfect creatures. For the sake of my friends, the Pokémon, the world must be changed. (N leaves.) Cheren: ...What a weirdo. But don't worry, it's all right. Trainers and Pokémon always help each other out! Well, I'll go on ahead. Off to the next town... I want to fight with Striaton City's gym leader. You should battle through the gym leaders, too. The best way for Trainers to get stronger is to challenge the gym leaders across the land. < Right after going onto Route 2 > [The Xtransceiver is ringing.] [White connected to the Xtransceiver.] Mom: White! It's mom. How are you doing over there? Are you starting to realize how fun it is to get along with Pokémon yet? I just wanted to try out the Xtransceiver, but... you can turn it off now, okay? (Mom then SNEAKS UP ON YOU FROM BEHIND.) Mom: White! I finally caught up... You're already this far, huh? Professor Juniper told me you were probably heading for Striaton City around now, so... Here's another present from mom! White! Put these on! [White received the Running Shoes!] Wear those Running Shoes, and you can get anywhere in a flash! Here, I'll read these instructions, and you listen. "Press the B button to use the Running Shoes and run faster than ever before!" "Put on a pair of Running Shoes and run your heart out!" ...they say. I found them, bought and never used, while I was cleaning up your room. ...I think I should do that more often. You know you're not alone, right, White? You've always got friends in your Pokémon. And your mother's always, always thinking about you! So enjoy the journey! That's what matters! << At the exit from Route 2 to Striaton City >> Bianca: White! Hey, White! (Bianca comes from behind.) Bianca: Heyyy there! Let's Pokémon battle! I caught some new Pokémon and got them a little stronger! Well, let's begin! Pokémon Trainer Bianca challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) G... Giving it my all! Me AND my Pokémon! (After sending out last Pokémon:) Alrighty then! This one's up next! (End of battle:) Whoaaa... I couldn't win... Bianca: Phew... You sure are strong, White, and that's the truth! I'll be sure to train my Pokémon so they won't lose, either! Okay, bye-bye!! << The gym leader is supposedly at the Pokémon School, Cheren's there >> Cheren: Pokémon that are poisoned will steadily lose health as they fight. Yet it only occurs while they're fighting... Oh, hi, White. Did you come looking for the gym leader? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] He was here talking about Pokémon types a while ago... I guess you just missed him? Anyway, White, would you battle with me? I want to test how important items are. [ Yes ] Cheren: Hm, how useful will items be...? Or perhaps I should test how long I can fight without items? Of course, we're battling inside, so let's not be too rough. Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Attacks that'll always hit, attacks that can hit first... There's all kinds! (After sending out last Pokémon:) Considering what your Pokémon should hold is crucial... (End of battle:) ...So I see! Losing to you must mean I still lack experience. Cheren: Yes, I see now that item usage is key. Okay, White, I'll give you this berry. [White obtained an Oran Berry!] [White put the Oran Berry in the Berries pocket.] Cheren: If you give Pokémon a berry to hold... They'll eat it themselves whenever they're running low on health in battle. Although they can't use items people would use, like Potions... Well, do your best! << In front of the gym >> ...Huh? I'm the gym leader of this town, but... Who are you...? So you want to challenge the gym, then? Well, then... What was the first Pokémon you chose? Oshawott...? Okay, so it's weak against grass types. I suggest you come up with some kind of counter-measure for that. Like, say, going to the Dreamyard to train your Pokémon. Well, if you'll excuse me. (He goes inside.) << Inside the gym >> Hey there! I'm a guide for Trainers tackling the Pokémon gyms. Call me Guido. Thank you very much for taking on the gyms. Take this in commemoration! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] The basics of Pokémon battling center around type weaknesses. Use Pokémon and attacks that are an advantageous type to the opposing Pokémon, and victory will be before you. That said, this gym has Pokémon types displayed on curtains. Step on the switch for the Pokémon type that'll be effective against it, and head onward!! Cilan: Welcome. This is Striaton City's Pokémon Gym. (Chili walks out from behind Cilan.) Chili: I'm the fire-type freak, Chili! (Cress walks out from behind Cilan.) Cress: I'm the water-user, Cress. Pleased to make your acquaintance. Cilan: As for me... Call me Cilan, with a preference for grass-types. Cilan: Um, well... You may ask why there are three of us... Chili: Well! Lemme explain! We are three! And the type of the Pokémon you first chose decides who you fight! Cress: That's right. And the first partner you picked was a water-type. Cilan: Right... Meaning your opponent is I, Cilan, preferrer of grass-types. Cilan: If you are so willing, I would gladly commit myself to being your opponent. Gym Leader Cilan challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Ah! My Pokémon! (After sending out last Pokémon:) ...Oh? Could it be I'm down to one Pokémon? (End of battle:) ...Er, is it over? Cilan: ...You surprised me. You're very powerful indeed. It would appear that neither Chili nor Cress could have bested you, either... [White received the Trio Badge from Cilan!] Cilan: Gym badges are proof of a Trainer's strength. With one badge in hand, Pokémon up to Level 20 will recognize your power and obey your orders. Please take this in addition. [White obtained TM83, "Work Up"!] [White put TM83 into the TMs pocket.] Cilan: The contents of TM83 are known as Work Up. Use Work Up, and your attack and special attack will increase! By the way, Technical Machines like that can be used indefinitely. Guido: Make sure to forever remember that magnificent moment when you got your first gym badge! << Stepping outside of gym >> Yahoo! I'm Fennel. Professor Juniper asked me to give you something. So come on, follow me! (She walks you into her house.) Fennel: So you guys are out to see all the Pokémon in Unova, eh? Oh! The stairs are over here! (She walks over.) Fennel: My room's above. Going up! (She walks upstairs.) Fennel: Now to really introduce myself! Yes, I'm Fennel. As you can see, I'm a researcher. And as for what I research, well, it's all about Trainers! Professor Juniper has been a friend of mine since our college days. So she asked me to help you guys out! That said! I'll start by backing you up with this Hidden Machine! [White obtained HM01 "Cut"!] [White put HM01 into the TMs pocket.] Fennel: There are moves that Pokémon can learn to use even outside of battle! That Hidden Machine, Cut, allows you to learn a move that can cut through some trees. Furthermore, Hidden Machines, like Technical Machines, can be used indefinitely! Ain't it great! ...Only thing is, once an HM is learned, it's tough to forget. ...So, rather than me assist you, can I ask you to do something for me? Um, on the edge of Striaton City, there's a place called the Dreamyard. I want some Dream Mist from the Pokémon Munna that appears there. And once I have that... we can do a Game Sync! We'll be able to assemble together reports from Trainers all over! Fennel: So Juniper asked you to complete the Pokédex, huh? ...Having to update the Pokédex from time to time can be a hassle. Oops! I said that out loud, didn't I? Go get some Dream Mist from Munna in the Dreamyard! Please! I'm begging you! You're a Trainer? Well, have you ever used a PC in the Pokémon Center? I'm Amanita, and I manage the storage system boxes. Um... Are you familiar with Battle Boxes? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Go you! [ No ] Oh, they're simple! Battle Boxes are used to register Pokémon you use often in battles! Amanita: Make sure to use my Battle Boxes! You can record Pokémon on that PC over there if you want! << After cutting the tree in the Dreamyard >> Bianca: Oh, White, are you looking for a mystical Pokémon, too? Bianca: I wonder, though... how exactly does this "showing dreams" business work? Bianca: Heyyy...! Didn't you hear some kind of sound behind that wall?! Hey, c'mon, let's check it out! Munna: ...mmmn. Bianca: Ah! Hold up! ???: Found you, Munna! ???: Alright, come on! Cough up the Dream Mist! Munna: ...mmm! Bianca: Hold on, what?! And just WHO are you? And what're you DOING?! ???: Who are we? We're Team Plasma, and we're fighting day and night to liberate Pokémon from moronic humans! Grunt: And what are we doing? Munna and Musharna produce a special mist called Dream Mist that shows you dreams, right? But people want to abuse those Pokémon to make use of it... And if it showed their dreams, it would influence people's hearts! Munna: Mun... naaah... Grunt: Hey! Cough up that Dream Mist! Bianca: You're kicking that poor Pokémon just so it'll give you Dream Mist? That's horrible! Why would you DO that?! Aren't you Trainers, too? Grunt: Yeah! We're Pokémon Trainers, alright. But unlike you, we're fighting to make Pokémon free! Grunt: And we WILL free your Pokémon from you! We'll fight you and snatch them away... to liberty! Alright, then... Let us save your Pokémon! Bianca: WHAAA?! Help, White! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) PLASMAAAAA! T-The dreams...! Grunt: Guess he underestimated you as just some brat, huh? Whatever. I'm next! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) PLASMAAAAA! This is a nightmare! Grunt: ...I can't BELIEVE we both lost! But we HAVE to get the Dream Mist! Hey! Gimme some Dream Mist!! Bianca: Stop it! (Ghetsis... teleports in?) Ghetsis: ...What foolishness is this? (A... second Ghetsis teleports in? UH.) Ghetsis: We of Team Plasma are to separate foolish humans from Pokémon! If you cannot accomplish that duty...! Grunt: W-What's this...?! Isn't that Lord Ghetsis...? The one who was giving that speech to fool everybody?! Grunt: Right... and since we screwed up our plan... Lord Ghetsis is going to punish us good...! Grunt: W... Well, let's go apologize really quick and maybe he'll forgive us! (They run and Ghetsis disappears. Musharna comes out from behind a wall to join Munna.) ???: M'nah! Bianca: ...What was all that? That Ghetsis guy was, like, in two places at once... that wasn't real, was it? ...Maybe it was a dream? And that Pokémon... ???: WHOA! (Fennel runs in.) Fennel: I couldn't wait any longer, so I just came anyway! And is it just me, or is that Musharna?! Musharna: Moosh? Munna: Murm. (They leave and drop an item.) Fennel: What happened? Bianca: Oh, Fennel. Um, well, there was Munna... but then some guys from Team Plasma came and kicked it... Then Musharna came... and then we saw something that might've been a dream? And then the Plasma guys ran, and... Fennel: ...I see. Musharna is the Pokémon that evolves from Munna. It saw its friend Munna was in a pickle, so it used its power to make a dream into reality and save Munna. ...But, wait, hold up! (She walks up to the item.) Isn't this Dream Mist?! Then with this, my research is complete! Now, you two, come back to my house!! (Fennel leaves.) Bianca: Whew... That was all... totally hairy and stuff. White, would you go to Fennel's house? Me? I'm going to look for that Pokémon we saw! << Fennel's room >> Fennel: TADAAAH! Thanks to you getting me the Dream Mist... We can now collect records from Trainers all over! I'm truly thankful! As an expression of my thanks, I'll let you use the C-Gear! The C-Gear is a device that uses wireless infrared communication, or Wi-Fi, to connect you to others. [White obtained the C-Gear!] WARNING! In places with restrictions on wireless communication, such as airplanes or hospitals, please turn off the C-Gear and cease communication. Turn on the C-Gear and begin communication? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Fennel: Look! Upon booting up the C-Gear, a screen appears! Touch the ? in the lower-left corner of the screen to read an explanation of the C-Gear. And now, the Game Sync, the system used to collect Trainer reports... Do you want me to do a little explaining of the system? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Well, sorry, but I'm so happy that I'll explain anyway! After all, it's thanks to you that I was able to make such an incredible achievement!! [ Yes ] A Game Sync utilizes Dream Mist to produce the memories of a sleeping Pokémon! That's right! And reports from Trainers worldwide can assemble together!! And there's something even more incredible! Game Syncing allows you to see the dreams of a sleeping Pokémon! Just put a Pokémon to sleep with Game Sync... And that Pokémon's dream is made reality in a place in the center of Unova called the High-Link!! Game Syncing is just astounding, isn't it?! Your interest is not only piqued, but peaked, I'm sure? If you're interested, you should try sending in your report, too! The details are summed up in the PC over there, so check it if you must! Amanita: Oh, Trainer! I'm big sis's assistant. I'm very grateful to you! This is from me. It's alright, you can have it. [White obtained the Pal Pad!] [White put the Pal Pad in the Key Items pocket.] Amanita: You can connect over Wi-Fi with the friends you record in that notebook. Connecting with them allows you to enjoy Pokémon matches and Pokémon trading. Now, a quick explanation on how to record friends. Use the Pal Pad in your bag's Key Items pocket and directly input your friend's code... Or, using the C-Gear's IR communications, simply record them straight away! << On Route 3 >> Cheren: Halt, White! We've both got the Trio Badge, so I want to see which of us is stronger! Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Oof! You chose quite the move, as always... (End of battle:) Why...? We have the same number of gym badges and everything... Cheren: ...I see. So that's how you fight... ???: Shove it, comin' through! (Plasma Grunts run by.) Cheren: What was that...? Is that Bianca? Why's she running? (Bianca comes in with a girl.) Bianca: Heyyy! Which way did those guys just head? Cheren: Uh, that way... So why are you in such a hurry? Bianca: Ah, sheesh! They sure made their getaway fast!! Girl: ...Miss... what about my Pokémon...? Bianca: It's alright! So... so please don't cry!! Cheren: Um, Bianca, so WHY are you in such a HURRY? Bianca: Listen! Those guys you just saw stole this girl's Pokémon! Cheren: Well, you should've said so earlier! White, we'll get back that Pokémon! Bianca! You stay with the girl! (Cheren runs off after them.) Bianca: Please, White... Get back that Pokémon Team Plasma stole! Girl: ...Why would... you take somebody's Pokémon...? (Cheren's waiting outside a cave.) Cheren: ...They went in here. White, are your Pokémon healthy and prepared? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Well, my pride won't allow me to lose to lowlifes who would steal someone's Pokémon! I'll be waiting here, so get your things in order quick! [ Yes ] ...Okay, let's go. Cheren: White! Nothing's getting through to these annoying punks... Grunt: Twerps like you can't control Pokémon! You feel sorry for the Pokémon's pitiable plight, huh? Well, just hold out your Pokémon for Team Plasma, and we'll nab 'em, too! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) Whoa, whoa, whoa! Losin' to a runt? Now that's a shocker! Grunt: How?! How can we lose when we're in the right?! Cheren: Well done, White! Now, hand over the Pokémon you took from that girl! ???: We ain't returning nothin'! (Two more grunts walk in.) Grunt: Ugh, what a mess! Don't you get in our way if you got no reason in your heads! Grunt: Us two'll be your opponents! Once you see our amazing union, you'll just KNOW we're right! Cheren: There are more...? Even so, you're nothing more than Pokémon thieves! White... Let's show them what a childhood duo can accomplish! Team Plasma Grunt and Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) PLASMAAAAA! We lost?! I can't believe Team Plasma was done in by this lot...! Grunt: We're stealing Pokémon from stupid humans to liberate them!! Cheren: ...Yeesh. You guys are a real pain. What reason could there ever be to steal somebody's Pokémon? None, that's what. Grunt: Trainers like you are making Pokémon suffer... Cheren: ...How are Trainers making Pokémon suffer? That doesn't make sense at all! Grunt: Fine, have your Pokémon back... But it's such a pity that it'll be abused by people... Grunt: ...You'll realize your folly someday! (The grunts leave.) Cheren: There exist Trainers that can show the true power of Pokémon... And there are Pokémon that believe in and even respond to Trainers. Given that, how could Pokémon be pitiable? I just don't get it. Now then... White, I'll go give back the Pokémon. << Go back to Bianca and the girl >> Bianca: White! I'm truly grateful! You two took back the Pokémon together! I'm just so glad to be friends with White and Cheren!! Girl: Thank you, big sis!! [sir] Have this as a reward! [White obtained some Heal Balls!] [White put the Heal Balls in the Items pocket.] Bianca: Oh, Heal Balls! Pokémon you catch with those will have their health recovered to full. Well, I'll be taking this girl back. See you, White! Bye-bye!! << Down the path on Route 3 Bianca refused to let you go down while the Pokémon was stolen >> Cheren: Halt, White! That thick-looking grass over there... It's rare, but you may encounter two Pokémon at once in there. Basically, take caution if you need to step into thick grass. Well, I'm off to Nacrene City. << In Nacrene City >> Cheren: Come with me. (Cheren walks over to a house next to the Pokémon center.) Head straight this way to get to the Pokémon Center. And... if you want, you can use this. [White obtained a Chesto Berry!] [White put the Chesto Berry into the Berries pocket.] Give a Chesto Berry to a Pokémon, and even if it falls asleep, it'll use it to wake up. Lastly, some advice. The gym leader of Nacrene City uses normal-types. If you bring fighting-type Pokémon, they'll probably be a great advantage. << N comes out of the museum when you try to enter >> N: I... want to see things no one else sees. The ideal for the Pokémon we keep inside balls... The truth of what a "Trainer" should be... And a future where Pokémon have attained their zenith... Don't you wish to see them, too? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] N: Is that so? Then, can my friends and I show people the future? Allow me to test with you! [ No ] N: ...Hmph. So my expectations were incorrect. More importantly, can my friends and I show people the future? Allow me to test with you! Pokémon Trainer N challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) The future remains to be seen... The world has not yet chosen it... N: As they are now, my Pokémon cannot save all Pokémon... The formula that can change the world is yet to be solved... I require power... Power that will let everyone understand... (He starts walking away.) ...I know what power it is I need. ...That of the legendary Pokémon that, together with a great hero, made this land of Unova... Zekrom! I shall be your hero, Zekrom... and I shall befriend you! << Inside the museum >> Hmm! Every time I behold this skeleton... it's simply charming! (He turns around.) Oh, hello. I'm the vice-curator, Hawes. You've come a long way. Allow me to guide you around the building! This skeleton... It's from a dragon-type Pokémon. Perhaps there was some form of disaster while it still roamed the lands, leaving it to fossilize like so. (Walks over to a meteorite.) This is an impressive stone. It's a meteorite! It would appear to contain some kind of mystical space energy. (Walks over to a rock.) Ah, this is... just a plain old stone. It was found in the desert, but the only value it has going for it is that it's old... But it's quite pretty, so we put it up on display. (Walks up to the back.) Beyond here, the museum becomes a Pokémon gym. Furthest in, you'll find the strong, yet kind gym leader awaiting. Oh... and by the way, gym leader Lenora is my wife. << Inside the gym >> Guido: Further into the museum, a Pokémon gym awaits challengers... Atmospheric, don't you think? That said, take this! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] This gym is full of Trainers that use normal-type Pokémon. And just between us... Normal-type is weak to fighting. And you're sure to find some fighting-type Pokémon near Pinwheel Forest, so... Now, let me explain the gym itself! To proceed through this gym, you must answer questions hidden in books. By the way, the first book to look for is "Hello, My Pokémon." Whenever you're not sure where a book is, listen to what everyone has to say! (First Trainer:) My first recommendation is "Hello, My Pokémon." It's on the shelf for children's books near the entrance. (Young girl on stepladder:) Hm? Looking for a book? ...Er, I believe "Hello, My Pokémon" is on the bookshelf nearest the entrance. (Scientist girl on stepladder:) ...Hm, yes... I see... Oh! I was reading "Locomotive Construction." If you want to read it, come over to me. (Lower-left bookshelves, left side:) It's a shelf for children's books. Read the book "How to Draw Pokémon"?

[ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] A fairytale about a boy who meets a Pokémon for the first time in his life. He takes a little brown Pokémon along with him. There's a note stuck in the pages...! "LadyTrainers and gentleTrainers! This is gym leader Lenora! There are four questions hidden in books in this library. Can you answer those questions and get to me?! Now, the first question! Q. What was the first Pokémon you met in this gym? Here's a hint... it's a book in the middle row! So go look for it!" (Lower-right bookshelves, left side:) It's a shelf for children's books.

[ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Writings on the anatomy of Patrat. Patrat communicate with their tails. A tail standing up on end signals that they've spotted an enemy. ... This doesn't seem to be the book you're looking for. (Middle-left bookshelves, right side:) It's a shelf for books on Pokémon. Read the book "Snivy Anatomy"? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Writings on the anatomy of Snivy. If their tails point to the sun while in direct sunlight, it means they're in the midst of photosynthesis. ... This doesn't seem to be the book you're looking for. (Middle-right bookshelves, left side:) It's a shelf for books on Pokémon. Read the book "Oshawott Anatomy"? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Writings on the anatomy of Oshawott. The extremely hard shell that forms over Oshawott's navel can be used as a tool. ... This doesn't seem to be the book you're looking for. (Top-left bookshelves, left side:) It's a shelf for books on society. Read the book "Potions Own!"? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Writings on the creation and proper use of Potions. It also talks about how to use them on misbehaving Pokémon. ... This doesn't seem to be the book you're looking for. (Top-right bookshelves, left side:) It's a shelf for books on society. Read the book "The Art of Pokémon Battle"? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Writings on the proper timing of Pokémon switching. "Switch Pokémon before the situation should look to turn dire!" ...

[ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Sums up the design of a Pokémon Center. It also details a day in the life of a nurse. ... This doesn't seem to be the book you're looking for. (Young girl on stepladder, after reading the first question:) Good day, Trainer! So you found a note and are looking for a Pokémon book, huh? Oho! Well, actually, I'm reading a book on Pokémon too. ...Er, this one's about Tepig. Wasn't the first Pokémon you met in this gym a Tepig? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Oho! That's too bad! The first Pokémon you met here wasn't a Tepig! Try to remember which Pokémon you fought at the gym's entrance. A hint: check the shelves to the left! [ No ] Oho! Right you are! What WAS the Pokémon you fought at the gym's entrance, then? A hint: check the shelves to the left! (Reading the Patrat book after talking to the girl:) There's a note on the last page...! "That question was pretty simple for you, right? Now for the second one! Q. Flame burns in its body, and it runs with smoke coming out its head... What book fits with that?! Here's a hint... Somebody may be reading it?!" (Scientist girl on stepladder after reading the second question:) ...Hm, yes... I see... Oh! You're looking for a book because of a note you found? What did it say? "Flame burns in its body, and it runs with smoke coming out its head..." And I'm reading "Locomotive Construction"! Is this the correct book? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Oh! And correct you are! "Flame burns in its body, and it runs with smoke coming out its head..." Yes, that's a locomotive! Well, I'll let you read this book. But first... I'd appreciate it if you could have a Pokémon battle with me for my research! [ No ] Ooh... Sorry, no! "Flame burns in its body, and it runs with smoke coming out its head..." Yes, that's a locomotive! ...Well, I'll let you read this book anyway for trying. But first... I'd appreciate it if you could have a Pokémon battle with me for my research! (Battle.) Return a read book back to its shelf... That's a book-reading rule. (Reading the book behind the scientist girl once she moves:) It's a shelf for books on society. Read the book "Locomotive Construction"? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Writings concerning locomotives. They run on steam power provided by the flames burning inside them, letting out smoke on the way! There's a note on the back cover...! "I see you've made it this far! Maybe it means you could challenge me? Well, here's the third question! Q. What becomes tasty when you simmer it all around in a pan? Hint: a book close to the entrance!" (Reading the Poffin book after reading the third question:) There's a note in the afterword...! "None of the questions have stuck you yet, huh? Okay, here's the last one! Q. From this bookshelf... Go up two, left one, back two, right one, and up one... where are you? As for a hint...? Well, just try it out yourself!" (Young girl on stepladder after reading the last question:) ...So I suppose you read the last note and ended up at me! Well, I'm here to give you the last question! "Q. If you beat me, will you be able to get to the gym leader?" [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Oho! Correct! So let's go, Trainer! [ No ] Ooh! Too bad! But I'll tell you the answer if you beat me! (Battle.) You'll meet the gym leader soon. Here's the last book! Well, go on! Read it! (Reading the book behind the young girl once she moves:) It's a shelf for books on Pokémon. Read the book "Tepig Anatomy"? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Writings on the anatomy of Tepig. Flames burn within them and blaze out their nostrils, but when they're not feeling well, only smoke can come out. There's a letter stuck in the pages...! "You made it! You don't have just brawn, but brains! I look forward to fighting you! - Gym Leader Lenora" Click! There was a switch under the book! (The bookshelf moves. Very slowly.) Whoa! A staircase appeared! Hello there! I'm the curator of the Nacrene City museum and gym leader of Nacrene Gym. That's right, I'm Lenora! So then, my challenger, just how do you fight with your lovingly-raised Pokémon? Allow me to study you! Gym Leader Lenora challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Aha, NOW I get to see what kind of Trainer you are! (After sending out last Pokémon:) Even in these circumstances, I can find a way to win! (End of battle:) Now that was really something! Ain't you just charming! That battle was just indescribable! I was in a trance! You're just the right Pokémon Trainer to give this Basic Badge to! [White received the Basic Badge from Lenora!] With two badges, any Pokémon up to Level 30'll listen to what you say! Also, you oughta take this TM, too! [White obtained TM67 "Retaliate"!] [White put TM67 in the TMs pocket.] If an ally Pokémon was defeated on the previous turn, Retaliate will have double the power! If you learn to master it, it can take down some formidable foes! Honey!! (Hawes runs in.) Hawes: Honey!! This is bad! Very bad!! These Team Plasma guys were all, "We'll take this skull!", and... Lenora: What're you talkin' about?! What do you mean?! White! You come with! (Lenora runs out really fast.) Lenora: Hold up, you! Stop foolin' around!! Grunt: Oh, you came, gym leader? We're going to take this museum's Dragon Skull for our cause of liberating Pokémon! Grunt: And to show you we're serious, we'll do it right before your eyes! Grunt: Alright! Smokescreen! ("Plasmaaaaa!" "Plasmaaaaa!") (They smokescreen away with the Dragonite skull.) Lenora: What in the name of... (Lenora runs out.) Hawes: Uh... uh?! We've got to chase them down! ???: Hey, Miss Lenora! Found any good fossils? Lenora: And are you out lookin' for inspiration again? White! Take a good look at this guy, 'cause he's Burgh, Castelia Gym's leader! Burgh: ...Hmm? Is it just me, or is something off about you? Could there have been... some kind of trouble, maybe? Lenora: You bet there is!! They've got one of my exhibits! (Bianca walks in.) Bianca: Heyyy, uh, White? Why's everyone bunched up here? (Cheren also walks in.) Cheren: ...Is there a problem, White? Lenora: What's all this, then? These kids... they friends of yours? ... ... ... .. ... ... Bianca and Cheren... alright, you must be Trainers! Then let's split the work! I'll go this way... And you kids! Cheren and Bianca, watch the museum for me! Then Burgh and White'll go search Pinwheel Forest! Alright? Burgh, you lead the way. I'm beggin' you all! (Lenora runs off.) Burgh: Well now... You're... White, then? Well, shall we go? Let's do away with those thieves! (Burgh leaves.) Bianca: Oh, White! Take this with you! It's a Dowsing Machine Fennel left with me! [White obtained the Dowsing Machine!] [White put the Dowsing Machine in the Key Items pocket.] Using the Dowsing Machine won't let you see invisible items, but it will let you see their locations! Cheren: Is it really... I don't know, safe to leave us protecting the museum for the time being...? (Cheren goes inside.) Bianca: Oh, me too! << Waiting on the path to Pinwheel Forest >> Burgh: Pinwheel Forest is just ahead. If they did indeed run off there, it could be troublesome. << In Pinwheel Forest >> Burgh: Hm... There are only two ways out of Pinwheel Forest. The path straight through, and the path that goes through the forest. If we head down both, we should catch up to them. Even if they're not there, we'll make sure to shut up the exits so they can't run. Would you search this route to see if there are any Plasma grunts hiding? There are lots of Trainers, too, but it's a straight path in essence, so you won't get lost. Well, then! Shall we do this, for Miss Lenora? << At end of forest >> Grunt: Oh, what's this? My allies couldn't have been defeated by this twerp, could they?! Well, whatever! I'm your opponent! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) PLASMAAAAA! Alas, the Pokémon couldn't be saved! Grunt: ...Alright, fine. Have your stupid skull back! [White obtained the Dragon Skull!] [White put the Dragon Skull in the Key Items pocket.] Grunt: Could this mean that our hopes... and our king's hopes... are all futile...? (Gorm walks in.) Gorm: Are you alright? You vowed your loyalty to the king! Grunt: Sage...! I got the skull this far, but then it was stolen before my eyes! Gorm: It's fine. We'll just give up on the Dragon Skull for now. After all, it had nothing to do with the legendary Pokémon Team Plasma is searching for. But we will not overlook your meddling. Don't get in our way again, or we'll make you pay. (Burgh walks in.) Burgh: Ah, great! From the bustling of the bug Pokémon, I could tell there had to be a bigshot around. Did you come to help the guys we just beat? (Lenora runs in.) Lenora: White! Burgh! The others didn't have jack... So, what, is this guy their boss? Gorm: I am one of Team Plasma's Seven Sages. Ghetsis, also one the Sages, is using his eloquence to convince people to release their Pokémon! The rest of us Sages order Team Plasma to steal Pokémon! But this is only a minor and necessary evil. The bug-user Burgh, and the normal-user Lenora... I know you two would fight a hundred battles... We will obediently pull back for now. But we shall take Pokémon from Trainers to liberate them! Not even from gym leaders shall we allow any meddling! When might this matter be resolved? Regardless, I look forward to it... (Gorm and the grunt disappear with a fadeout.) Lenora: They're quick runners, eh? Well, Burgh, you gonna chase after 'em? Burgh: No... We cornered them and got back your stolen skull. I don't know what else they're guilty of. Well, Miss Lenora, I've got to be going... And also... I'll be waiting for YOU to challenge me at the Castelia City Pokémon gym. Yep! Ooh, really looking forward to that... (Burgh leaves.) Lenora: White! That's the Dragon Skull you toiled to get back, right? [White handed over the Dragon Skull!] Lenora: I'm truly grateful, White! A Trainer as kind as you is sure to make any Pokémon around happy. This is a token of my thanks. Treasure it! [White obtained the Moon Stone!] [White put the Moon Stone in the Items pocket.] Lenora: That's a Moon Stone! There are Pokémon out there that'll evolve if you use that on them. Well, I've got to get the Dragon Skull back to the museum. Alright, watch yourself! << Try to enter the gym in Castelia City >> Cheren: Hey, White! I just challenged the gym leader Burgh. He's definitely quite the gym leader... I got the badge, but it was honestly pretty tricky. Well, not like I was going to have any problems with bug types, anyway. I'm going to keep beating all the gym leaders in Unova. Then I'll head for the Pokémon League and beat the Champion! Once I do that, everyone'll recognize me as a powerful Trainer... I really feel that's what I'm living for... (Cheren leaves, then Burgh comes running out.) Burgh: Oho? You... Yes, you fought Team Plasma in Pinwheel Forest... And I believe your name was... White! Perhaps you're here to challenge my gym? Aww... er, I know it's awful of me, but could you wait a little longer? I've heard word that Team Plasma is in town! You need to come too! Head to Prime Pier!! << On the pier (the primest one) >> Burgh: Here, this way! Burgh: Team Plasma... stole this girl's Pokémon. Bianca: ...What do we do, White? My Munna... Team Plasma took it! ???: I heard this missy here screamin' and came running! ...But this town is just massive. I lost the thieves in the crowds. Burgh: Iris... You did what you could. Iris: ...But it ain't right! You just CAN'T take somebody's Pokémon!! Pokémon and people coexisting is just so... super! Having each other there for support is TOPS! Bianca: ...Iris... Burgh: Right! Which is why we'll get the Pokémon back! Right, White? ...Of course, searching for a person or a Pokémon in Castelia City is like searching for a needle in a haystack... (A Plasma grunt walks in.) Grunt: Uh? Why's the gym leader here?! I mean sure, after coming all this way, it sucks we could only snatch one lousy Pokémon... but, um, I think I gotta run...!! (She does.) Burgh: White, let's go! Iris! You stay with this girl. (Burgh leaves.) Iris: I'll serve as Bianca's bodyguard! Don't worry, missy, I'll chase off anybody who just LOOKS at you funny! Bianca: ...I'm sorry, Munna... I'm a Trainer who can't even protect her own Pokémon... I... << Find Burgh by the fountain >> Burgh: Thataway! Hm, wait, isn't that the way to the gym?! Burgh: ... There's no doubt, this is the place. Grunt: Nope, sorry! There's no Plasma members or Sages in here! You think I'm lying? Wanna fight about it? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Grunt: ...Hmph. Now scram! Burgh: ...It seems battling is the only way we're getting in. [ Yes ] Grunt: Grrr! I'll take this weakling, so you two go for the strong one over there! Burgh: ...The nerve! White, you take care of them! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) Ngh! Seriously, just for taking somebody's Pokémon?! Grunt: This is bad... This is awful, terrible, worst, worst, worst! Team Plasma's been smashed again! Plasmashed, you could say! We'll have to report back to the Sage for now...! (The grunts run inside and Bianca and Iris arrive.) Iris: ...Whew, I got lost. Even trying to work out directions over the Xtransceiver, it's all moonspeak to me! Burgh: Team Plasma is right here. So maybe the Pokémon they stole will be, too! Okay, I'm going in! (Burgh runs inside.) Iris: Alrighty! I'm fighting too this time!! Hey, and missy Bianca, too! Bianca: H-Hold up, though... White, you need to come too! (Bianca and Iris go inside.) Ghetsis: So this is the gym leader Burgh... Burgh: Team Plasma... are you the ones stealing what you want from people? Bronius: Hiding out in plain sight near his gym seemed like an interesting idea, but it sure let him find us out quickly... Ghetsis: Quite so... Well, we've already established a magnificent hideout. Now, are you familiar with the legend of Unova's formation? Iris: Yeah, I know that! The one with the black dragon Pokémon, right?! Ghetsis: Correct... How can a world with so many countries arguing be put to order...? There was a hero who pondered over that idea. And a black dragon Pokémon who turned its fangs on those who defied it... The hero and the Pokémon used their power to bring order to the hearts of all by creating Unova. And once more! The hero and the Pokémon shall be revived here in Unova to capture people's hearts! A remarkably simple desire of mine... rather, of Team Plasma's! Burgh: There are many people here in Castelia City... Their lifestyles and ways of thinking are all incredibly diverse. So honestly, what are you saying? 'Cause I really think you're missing something. ("Buh?" "Like what?") Burgh: But everyone shares a similarity in one respect: their valuing of Pokémon. We communicate with even our closest friends through Pokémon! Through battling or trading... Oh, about the speech at Accumula? I'm thankful that you gave me a chance to reconsider what it meant to get along with Pokémon. And so I swore...! I would earnestly stand face to face with Pokémon! But what you're doing isn't exactly strengthening the bonds between people and Pokémon, now is it? Ghetsis: Wahahaha! Don't think of it as seizing so much as dividing. I have plenty of good sense. And I love humans, really. After all, our king has brought together we Seven Sages to be an assembly of wisdom from all nations. Very well! For now, I'll leave you to your opinion... That girl over there... Give her back her Pokémon. (A grunt produces Munna and it runs back to Bianca.) Bianca: Th-Thank you! Munnie...! Welcome baaack!! Iris: Missy!! Don't you see how villainous these guys are for taking people's beloved Pokémon?! Bianca: Y-Yeah... But I'm just so happy Munnie is safe... Ghetsis: What a beautiful sight! Fellowship between man and Pokémon! But we must still liberate Pokémon from foolish humans. And for that purpose, we must re-enact the legend to change people's hearts... Well then, take care... (Team Plasma leaves with a fadeout.) Iris: And why exactly did you let those scoundrels go?! Burgh: ...Hrm. What else could we do, given the stolen Pokémon at stake? Bianca: It's all right! Thank you, Iris! Nobody got hurt or anything. More than anything, it's just about meeting my precious Pokémon again! Iris: Awright... I guess it's fine, then... Burgh: So, what will you all do now? Bianca: ...I kinda wanna look around Castelia City, but, uh... Iris: You're in luck!! Don't worry, I'll keep bein' your bodyguard, missy Bianca!! Bianca: Oh, Iris... Burgh: Hm, alright. Iris is an extraordinary Pokémon Trainer, although she doesn't care much for this city. But anyway, people and Pokémon need to help each other! Cooperation and all that!! Iris: Oh, and you, other missy! Thanks for lookin' for the Pokémon! Take this! [White obtained a Yache Berry!] [White put the Yache Berry in the Berries pocket.] Iris: See ya later!! (Iris pretty much pushes Bianca out the door. "Wh...!" "Hold up!") Burgh: Well, White, I'll be waiting in the gym. << In the gym >> Guido: Whew! How's Castelia City? Just getting to the gym through the crowds wore you out, I bet? That said, take this! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] The theme of this gym is breaking through to the other side of walls! The honey walls may not look especially penetrable, but keep at it and you'll make it through! And when you can't seem to get anywhere, just find a floor switch to step on! Burgh: Thanks for earlier! My bug Pokémon were clamoring to fight with you. Alright, well, I might be going a little quick, but it's time to battle! Gym Leader Burgh challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) BISH!! You've hit the switch of my soul!! (After sending out last Pokémon:) Let us further... the bug spirit! No, no, I don't mean it like that! (End of battle:) Ooh...?! Could this be the end?! Burgh: Aww... I lost... Regardless, it shows you're definitely a strong one! Take this gym badge! You beat me, after all! [White received the Insect Badge from Burgh!] Isn't the Insect Badge just awesome?! In fact, with three badges, Pokémon up to Level 40 will listen to you. Er, right. And take this, too. [White obtained TM76 "Struggle Bug"!] [White put TM76 in the TMs pocket.] Struggle Bug deals damage to foes and and lowers their special attack. Even something that seems trifling can be crucial, remember! << Outside the gym >> [The Xtransceiver is ringing.] [White connected to the Xtransceiver.] Bianca: Heyyy, where are you now? I've got a favor to ask you... um, which is, let's have a Pokémon battle! I think I've gotten a little stronger training with Iris. I mean, I should at least be able to protect my Pokémon from now on... Well, let's meet up at the gate leading to Route 4! That's that! Okay, see you later! << In the gate between Castelia City and Route 4 >> Bianca: Heyyy, White! Remember the promise we made over the Xtransceiver? Let's get started with this Pokémon battle right away! Oh, but first... (Bianca goes over to talk with the clerk, then comes back.) He says to make sure our Pokémon battle doesn't damage the news ticker! But I'm nothing like I was when I started! It'll be just fine! So let's begin a brand new Pokémon battle! Pokémon Trainer Bianca challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Me and my Pokémon... We're way strong now! (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) Oooooh... Am I in a tight spot...? (End of battle:) Even though I trained with Iris... Nah, I couldn't win after all... Bianca: ...I'm not really trying to be as strong a Trainer as you, White... or Cheren, or even Iris, but... Since I set out from Nuvema Town, I've met so many people... And I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life! I mean, Pokémon have shown me so many things for the first time! ...I was uneasy and clueless on what to do when my Pokémon was stolen... But I'm still so glad I could go on this journey! Plus, I've learned how very valuable it is to be with Pokémon! Well, let's meet again somewhere! Bye-bye, White! << Out on Route 4 >> Cheren: Hey, White. I've been waiting for you to get the Insect Badge. It may be sudden, but I want to see... which of us is the stronger Trainer? Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) I know full well the value of getting the first strike! (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) If I show the full power of my Pokémon, I can still turn this around! (End of battle:) ...Well done. But why can't I win?! Cheren: ...I see. Perhaps the reason you're so strong is because of your trust with Pokémon. But, no problem. Me, Slitheroot... we'll all get stronger! [The Xtransceiver is ringing.] [White connected to the Xtransceiver.] Juniper: Hiiiii there! White, could I talk with you for a bit? Cheren: Do you need something, Professor Juniper? Juniper: ...Bianca hasn't noticed I called, has she... Wonder what she got distracted by now? I'll just have to talk to her later! Well! The two of you! I'm waiting at the gate in front of Nimbasa City! Cheren: ...U-Um?! Cheren: ...So. To get to the Nimbasa City gate, we just proceed straight through Route 4 here. << In the Route 4 to Nimbasa gate >> Juniper: Hiiiii there, White!! Cheren: Come over here. Juniper: Elesa called me over to ask me all about electric-type Pokémon, and I was reminded of you... So, this is what I "wanted" you for! Bam! At your service!! Here, Cheren! And here, White! [White obtained some Ultra Balls!] [Eselle put the Ultra Balls into the Items pocket.] If you ever run into a Pokémon you want to keep, don't be frugal, make sure you use a good Poké Ball! You never know if it'll be both the first and last time you see that Pokémon! ...Well, of course I'd say that, having asked you to complete the Pokédex and all. It might sound a little weird, but I really do want you to enjoy your journey! ...Oh! Not like I'm saying it's fine to completely ignore the Pokédex, of course. Now then... I've got to meet up with Bianca. (Juniper leaves.) Cheren: ...She gave us Pokémon and Pokédexes so we could go on a journey... That's the gist of it. It's what my mother told me. They wanted us to see the world, so my mom, your mom, and Bianca's mom all asked Professor Juniper to help. So, White. What will you do now? Hm... Well, excuse me. I think I'll go catch some of the Pokémon I haven't caught on Route 4. << Near the entrance of Nimbasa City >> Grunt: Hey, gramps! So you're a caretaker, huh?! Team Plasma knows your needs! Grunt: Yeah, we take people's Pokémon! You could say we're taking Pokémon into our custody to raise them! So hand 'em over! Old Man: What nonsense! (He notices White and runs over.) Oh! Trainer, you look strong! Help me! Grunt: Get in the way, and we'll take your Pokémon too! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) PLASMAAAAA! ...AAAAA! Grunt: !! Grunt: What ARE you?! I think we better run for now! Let's head into the park! (The grunts run off.) Old Man: Thank you! Take this as an expression of my gratitude! I was planning on riding this bike to and from Nimbasa City, but... Well, I don't think I'll be doing that after all. [White obtained the Bicycle!] [White put the Bicycle in the Key Items pocket.] Old Man: I run a daycare on Route 3! If there's any Pokémon you want us to raise, feel free to leave them with us! ...Whew, coming here was quite an experience! (The old man leaves.) Bianca: Heyyy! White! (She walks up.) I heard from the Professor that Nimbasa City is loaded with attractions! It's like an amusement park! The Big Stadium, the Little Court... And the Battle Subway! Me, I'm gonna go to the Musical Hall! See you!! << Outside the hall >> Bianca: Oh, White! You're wondering about the musicals? Come in with me! Bianca: Heeey! Awesome, huh? Owner: Oh, hello, Trainers! I'm the owner of this musical hall. Nice to meet you! Hmm! I get a good feeling from you Trainers! Putting decorations on Pokémon... You might call it "dress-up," but won't you please give it a try? Here, I'll even give you a free Decoration Case! [White obtained the Decoration Case!] [White put the Decoration Case in the Key Items pocket.] You can put decorations for your Pokémon inside that Decoration Case! Okay, first, choose a Pokémon! (Choose.) Now, let's dress them up! (Um... okay.) Ohhh! The two of you are so well-coordinated! It's positively charming! Once you've dressed someone up, they can be entered into a musical! Please, I implore you to enter a musical! Go to the receptionist for an explanation on musicals. Well, I look forward to seeing you on the stage! Bianca: Hmm... Wonder what should we do? Musicals sound wonderful and all, but there are other things I'm curious about... ...Okay, decided! I NEED to see the rest of Nimbasa! See you, White! << Stepping outside the hall > Bianca: Dad?! Why are you here? Bianca's Dad: I came to take you back home by any means necessary! I heard from your mother that you'd come this far... Isn't this enough for you? Bianca: No way!! I'm still on a journey with White, and with my Pokémon! Bianca's Dad: It's pointless! Seeing new places is one thing, but home is home! Bianca: Yeah? Well maybe I'm just me! And you're just dad! ???: Young lady... do continue your journey. (Elesa walks up.) Bianca Dad: Excuse me?! And who are you? This is a family matter! Elesa: Call me Elesa. I'm a model, and this town's gym leader. Naturally, the world is filled with all kinds of people. And with people who don't think at all like you, there may be times when you feel hurt... Bianca's Dad: That's right! Of course there are! That's why I'm so worried... Elesa: However... As such things recur, the differences between you and others become simply natural, and you learn to value them. And though you worry, remember that there will always be Pokémon to stand at a Trainer's side. They may appear merely cute, but if you call for them, Pokémon are extremely dependable... Bianca: I'm begging you! I know there are things out there that you're right to worry about, dad... I know that! But...! There are really nice people, too! And by being with Pokémon, I'll even get a little stronger! So... so...! Bianca's Dad: ...Hrmm... ... ... ... ... ...Well. I'd say it seems selfish of you to want to continue your journey, Bianca, but... It would be much more selfish of me to force you to stop. Any way you slice it, I'm the one being childish... The gym leader has helped me realize something. Yes, Bianca... you can very well do what you please, definitely. Your father will be praying that your journey leads you to many worthwhile things. White, look after Bianca for me. (Bianca's dad leaves.) Bianca: Dad... When I find what it is I want to do, I'll be sure to come home! Elesa: He, too, must have adventured as a Trainer long ago... But it's tough being a parent. Was I too nosy? I was a little bothered when I saw you arguing, so I sort of just stuck my head in... If you're Trainers, then you're welcome at the Pokémon gym. I'll show you how intense your journey can be. (Elesa leaves.) Bianca: SO cool! I wish I could be as suave as Miss Elesa! ...Huh... yeah, I wonder what I could do? Well, before that, I've gotta find what it is I WANNA do! See you, White! << N in a fair area >> N: ...Are you looking for Team Plasma? They ran off to the center of the park. Come with me. (He walks over to the Ferris wheel.) N: ...Not here. Let's ride the Ferris wheel and look for them there. I love Ferris wheels, you know. Their circular motion... the dynamics... a beautiful combination of formulas... N: ...I shall go first, then. I am the king of Team Plasma. Requested by Ghetsis, we aim to save Pokémon together. How many Pokémon exist in this world, I wonder...? Grunt: Lord N! Grunt: Are you alright?! N: I'm just fine. My followers, who collaborate to save Pokémon... I must protect them, too. While I fight, you two get away from here. ...So, White, do you understand my thoughts? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] I see... That's a shame. [ Yes ] I'm truly happy to hear that. Now then... This is the future I have seen... Even if I cannot win against you here, I shall fight you for the sake of Team Plasma! Team Plasma Member N challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Your Pokémon seem so... happy! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) Even if I lose, is the future you see different... or not? (End of battle:) So we were alike... But, you... What are you? N: ...You are strong. But there is a future I must change. And so...! N: I shall surpass the Champion. I will stand as an undefeatable opponent... And I shall liberate Pokémon from all Trainers! But you... you wish to be together with Pokémon! If that is your desire, then collect all the gym badges and come to the Pokémon League! Once there, try to stop me! N: If you do not feel as strongly... you shall not stop me. << Nimbasa City intermission: female >> (Depending on the season, you can fight a variety of Trainers in front of the Ferris wheel, then go for a ride with them afterward. Um... most of the rides could be classified as "dates." So, without further ado.) [[ Breakdancer Dirk - Spring ]] Ahhh, it's been sweltering day after day, and now I'm getting sleepy... Hey, you there, you got a sec? I'd like to take a ride on this Ferris wheel, buuut... This one's a dual-rider, so I can't ride it all on my ownsome. So, if it's okay with you, would you sit with me? I can't give you much in return, but I'll fight you with this Pokémon I raised real good! [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Alright... I guess I'll let you off if you're worried. Well, I'll find somebody else! Sorry, but thank you muchly anyway! [ Yes ] Huh? Seriously? Thank yooou! You seem like a good girl! Alright, now to introduce you to my super-beloved Pokémon! (Battle with Breakdancer Dirk, who has a Darumaka. "Owow... How is it you're so strong?") Err... White, is it? Wow! You're super awesome! From the looks of you, I thought, man, she couldn't beat anybody I know! I thought you were just kinda cute, but your Pokémon are stylin' too! Talk about rad! Now, then... Alright, let's get on this Ferris wheel already! (They get on.) ...Risin' up, risin' up... Whoa, this is surprisingly speedy. Oh! C'mere for a sec! C'mon - huh?... Aah... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... (They get off.) ...Eh? Am I alright? Y-Yeah, I'm fine, just fine! It ain't nothin' at all! ... ... ...White, thank you muchly for today! I used to think the Ferris wheel was just for little kids, but hoo-whee... That view is just beautiful... It's just so... thrilling... Yeah, I don't think it'd be such a bad idea to do this again from time to time! If you want, let's ride again sometime! See ya, White! Oh! If it isn't White! U-Um, if it's alright, wanna play with me? I mean, as in, a Pokémon battle... and then a ride on the Ferris wheel? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Alright... Sorry, that was unreasonable of me. Well, anytime you got time to spare, gimme a holler! See ya, White! [ Yes ] Huh? Yes? Seriously?! YESSS! Thank yooou!! You're so good to me! Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself, but let's have a Pokémon battle! (Same as the first battle.) Aah! So sad!! As ever, you really are pretty strong! You think you could aim to be the Champion one of these days? If I were you, White, I wouldn't count that out as just some fantasy! I'm behind you all the way! Now, then... Alright, let's get on this Ferris wheel already! (They get on.) ...Risin' up, risin' up... Whoa, this is surprisingly speedy. Oh! C'mere for a sec! C'mon - huh?... Aah... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... (They get off.) ... ... ... ... ... ... Oh, sorry, sorry... I was just thinking to myself. There's something about it... The time I spend playing with you seems to go by too fast, White! Time is short! Don't you think...? Haha, well, don't you worry your little head about it! Thank you muchly! Let's play again! Bye-bye, White! [[ Ace Trainer Austin - Summer ]] These hot days just keep coming... Hm? What's up...? Perhaps you had an interest in this Ferris wheel? Unfortunately for you, this Ferris wheel is a two-rider, so you won't be able to ride it on your own. ... ... ...Right. Would you battle with me? Should you win the battle, I shall allow you to ride the Ferris wheel with me. How about it? Shall we battle? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Is that so? Very well then... [ Yes ] Ah, I see... If you are that captivated by the Ferris wheel, you and I must share similar interests. Ah, but never mind that... As an Ace Trainer, I have no reason to lose. (Battle with Ace Trainer Austin, who has a Swoobat. "... ...What?") ... ...I'll be frank. I could never have dreamed I would lose to you... Heh, well, you can't judge a book by its cover... Now then... As I promised earlier, shall we board the Ferris wheel? Truthfully, this will be my first time experiencing one. (They get on.) Ooof, this goes higher than I expected... Aieee, it's shaking more than I expected... Hey, don't move! Do you want to make us fall?! I'm begging you, PLEASE don't move!! Ah... I can't stand it... this is it for me. ...Can I... can I hold your hand? (They get off.) ... ... ... ... ... ... I myself didn't even know that I was so terrified of heights... It was all your... well, maybe it was partially your fault... so you better be thankful! However... I want you to sincerely remember this deep in your heart. In exchange, if you want to ride the Ferris wheel again at any cost, come do it with me. I'll overcome my fear. That's what makes me a true ace... Oh... it's you... ...Could you perhaps want to ride the Ferris wheel once more? V-Very well... I know what you're thinking, but I shall overcome my fear today. Fight with me, and if you win, I shall allow you to ride the Ferris wheel with me once again. So, will you? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Really! Ah, that's a shame! I was thinking today would be a good chance to overcome my weakness... aha, haha... [ Yes ] Ah, I see... Yes, a battle...? Very well, so I must... Let us begin! (Same as the first battle.) ... ... ...S-So I must. I'll overcome my fear and make the evolution to a true ace. It shall be a thing to remember! And you'll be quite happy to be present! Aha! Hahaha... (They get on.) Ooof, this goes higher than I expected... Aieee, it's shaking more than I expected... Hey, don't move! Do you want to make us fall?! I'm begging you, PLEASE don't move!! Ah... I can't stand it... this is it for me. ...Can I... can I hold your hand? (They get off.) ... ... ... ... ... ... Is it just my imagination, or did I see you grinning a little? ...Oh, whatever. It may not be soon, but I'll overcome my fear someday. Because I am an ace! Excuse me for today, but whenever you've thought REALLY hard on it, and absolutely super-duper HAVE to ride the Ferris wheel again... tell me. [[ Waitress Aurora - Autumn ]] It's gotten pretty chilly... I guess it'll be flat-out cold soon... Huh? Could you possibly want to take a ride on this? But this Ferris wheel only has seats for two... ... ...Right, well. Would you battle with me? So if you win, I'll ride together with you? [ Yes / No ] [ No [ Ah, really? Well, I should be around here for a while yet, so... [ Yes ] You made your decision quick... Or perhaps you're just that confident? Well, I suppose I'll find out if we battle. Quickly, let's begin! (Battle with Waitress Aurora, who has a Swadloon. "Oww... so uncool...") I'm not even close to a match... Though I had at least a LITTLE confidence in my Pokémon battling... You're certainly impressive... ...Well, as promised, shall we board the Ferris wheel? (They get on.) ... ... ... ... ... ... Well, you went through the trouble, so should we chat? ...I know, right! ... ...Yeesh! And then... ... Like, really... ...Since I liked him... I was always... ... ...just a bunch of lies!... (They get off.) Hoo! That was fun!! And talking with you helped me get a lot of things off my chest! Fellow girls really ought to talk amongst each other! I should be around here for a while yet! So if you have the time later, please come by again! Oh! It's you from before! You doing well? If you have time, please, spend some of it with me! Have a Pokémon battle? Ride the Ferris wheel? Have a chat? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Huh? Oh... really...? Sorry, that WAS kinda unreasonable of me. Whenever you have the time, please come back again! [ Yes ] Oh! You sure?! Thank you! Something about being with you just makes me feel great! Well, first, let's have a Pokémon battle! (Same as the first battle.) Whew... I lost again! Even your Pokémon are just too good for me to compete with. They're so much slimmer and prettier than me... I sorta admire them, really! Well, let's board the Ferris wheel already! (They get on.) ... ... ... ... ... ... Well, you went through the trouble, so should we chat? ...I know, right! ... ...Yeesh! And then... ... Like, really... ...Since I liked him... I was always... ... ...just a bunch of lies!... (They get off.) Aww, it's over already! The time just seems to fly when I'm having fun with you! I've not the type to have a whole lot of friends, so I really treasure a chance to discuss things like this! Thanks for today! If you like, please come play with me again! [[ Rich Boy Martin - Winter ]] Hey... It's cold today... Um, excuse me... Do you have some time? I actually haven't gone outside in a long time... I figured I'd come out all this way to get my Pokémon exercised... And... I kinda wanted to ride this Ferris wheel. If it's okay with you, could you spend a little time with me? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Okay... Sorry... It was a weird thing to hope for... [ Yes ] Huh... really, it's fine? Thank you... You're a kind person. Well, it's sudden, but could you help my Pokémon get some exercise? (Battle with Rich Boy Martin, who has a Unfezant. "Hahhh, hahhh, hahhh, hahhh...") Pant... wheeze... It's been so long since I've gotten such a workout, so I'm getting a little tired... But... It was really fun! My Pokémon got to stretch out, too, and it looks really happy! Thanks for battling me! ...So... Next up, the Ferris wheel? I've... always sorta wanted to ride one of these. (They get on.) Wow, the town's getting smaller and smaller... It's so pretty... ... ... Cough! ...Hack! Cough! Sorry... I'm getting a little chilly... Huh...? Thank you... it's warm... You're such a... kind person... (They get off.) Thank you, Miss White... And sorry for causing you such trouble... ...I just wasn't born with a very sturdy body. As a result, I can't exactly go out whenever I please... So I'm really glad I could play with you here today... Thank you, Miss White. I'll be here when I'm feeling better, so I'd be overjoyed to play with you again... Hey... Miss White... It's cold, but are you doing okay? I'm feeling alright today, so I've come out once again... If it's fine with you, Miss White, I'd be really glad if you could exercise my Pokémon and go on the Ferris wheel with me... I mean, if you want... Would you spend some time with me? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] I see... You must be busy. If you have time, I'd be happy if you came back again... [ Yes ] Thank you... I'm so glad... So... Could you help exercise my Pokémon? (Same as the first battle.) Pant... wheeze... I still... Can't strain myself too hard... but... Getting some exercise... Fighting with somebody... it's really fun... My Pokémon seems really glad to meet you, too. Thank you... So... Should we board the Ferris wheel now? Let's go... Miss White... (They get on.) Wow, the town's getting smaller and smaller... It's so pretty... ... ... Cough! ...Hack! Cough! Sorry... I'm getting a little chilly... Huh...? Thank you... it's warm... You're such a... kind person... (They get off.) Sorry... I've caused you such trouble once again. ... ...But... I had fun with you, Miss White, so I'm not feeling so bad. Not to mention... Playing with you just makes me so happy... So if you want, I'd be glad if you could spend some more time with me... I'm really thankful for today... See you, Miss White... << Nimbasa City intermission: male >> [[ Lass Maya - Spring ]] It sure is nice having all these refreshingly warm days... Oh! Hey, there! You there! Do you have some time? If it's okay with you, won't you... spend some time with me? Um, I want you to battle me! Alright? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Okay... I know it was sudden to spring that on you, anyway... sorry for the weird request! [ Yes ] Thanks! You've got a good attitude! Alright, I know it's sudden, but let's have a Pokémon battle! (Battle with Lass Maya, who has a Gothita. "Huh, it's over already? I lost in the blink of an eye...") Wow! Black, huh? Your Pokémon are sooo strong! Since you're such a reliable Trainer, Black, there's one more thing I'd like to ask of you... Um, let's take a ride on the Ferris wheel, you and me! You can't turn down a girl's request! Alright! Okay! Let's ride! (They get on.) Whoaaa... Oh man, it really IS high... Ah, I'm... I'm getting kinda scared... Ooogh... I'm shaking... ... ... ...It's SO high, I'm SO scared... ... Oh no... I can't take any more... Come... be beside me... okay? (They get off.) ...U-Um, thank you! I always kinda wanted to ride this Ferris wheel, but you need two people... I figured if I went riding with a friend or something and freaked out, I'd get so embarrassed... Not that doing it with you stopped me anyway! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have even tried! I guess I really am just hopeless when it comes to heights... But... Um... it was kinda fun... If you want, let's ride together again! Oh! Black! You doing good? Hey! If you want, would you spend some time with me? Let's have a Pokémon battle together, then go for a ride on the Ferris wheel! Something tells me I won't get scared this time around! [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Oh, okay... That's so... kinda disappointing... But I'm sure you must be busy, Black... [ Yes ] Teehee, I'm so happy! Thanks, Black! Alright, I know it's sudden, but let's have a Pokémon battle! (Same as the first battle.) Black, your Pokémon really are strong...! No matter how hard I tried, I don't think I could ever beat you! Enough Pokémon battles! ...So let's get on the Ferris wheel already! ... ... ... Aw, don't give me that look! I'll be fine! Really! I've got it this time! At least, I should! (They get on.) Whoaaa... Oh man, it really IS high... Ah, I'm... I'm getting kinda scared... Ooogh... I'm shaking... ... ... ...It's SO high, I'm SO scared... ... Oh no... I can't take any more... Come... be beside me... okay? (They get off.) Ooogh... it was still scary... But somehow... Even though I was scared, since I was with you, Black... Having you to look ahead at what frightened me, I kinda managed to enjoy it... Teehee... Well, if you have time for it, come by again, Black! [[ Hiker Andy - Summer ]] Whew! You there, boy! How 'bout this humidity, day after day! Can't help but make the best of a summer like this! Eh? So hey! How 'bout you take a ride on the Ferris wheel with me! For free, of course! All I ask is you go up against my best Pokémon, boy! [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Aah! Shame, shame, boy! A young bud like you oughta enjoy a sweltering summer season! [ Yes ] Really now! Boy! You've got promise, I tell you what! Well, instead of a greeting, let's go headfirst into battle! (Battle with Hiker Andy, who has a Boldore. "Oho! Boy, boy! Your Pokémon are ripped!") Whew, great! Boy! You and your Pokémon are splendid! Wonderful! Can't get enough of 'em! So, now... We've warmed up both our bodies and souls, so... let's head into the Ferris wheel! Come along, boy! (They get on.) Ho ho... sure is humid... like a sauna, boy, I tell you what! Ahhh, it's so hot... you're really sweatin', boy... By the way... boy... you ever had a lover? (They get off.) Man, that thing was way more hot and humid than I was expecting! But I think gotten to know you a little better, boy! Y'know?! I'm planning on loitering around and about for a while longer! Whenever you feel like improving your understanding, don't be shy, come by and holler! Right! Okay, see you again, boy! Hey, you came, boy! Summertime doesn't last! Enjoying it? If you're not enjoying quite enough, how 'bout you and I make a summer memory on the Ferris wheel! [ Yes / No ] [ No ] What! I say what, boy! Kind of a downer, you are! How could you forget the time we spent together? Eh? Our summer together doesn't have to wait 'til next year! Y'know? I'll stick around, so I hope you change your mind! [ Yes ] Really! Oh, really! Boy! I think we're gonna make some big progress in our relationship here! Well, first, in place of a greeting, let's charge into a Pokémon battle! (Same as the first battle.) Boy, your Pokémon sure are sturdy! They're fine, they are! I believe there'll be a lot of growth and possibilities ahead of you, boy! Well then, better get on with it... Time for today's main dish! We're heading into the Ferris wheel! Let's roll, boy! Come on! (They get on.) Ho ho... sure is humid... like a sauna, boy, I tell you what! Ahhh, it's so hot... you're really sweatin', boy... By the way... boy... you ever had a lover? (They get off.) Our shirts are soaked with sweat, but it tells the story of the time we passed, boy! And with this, we've developed a deeper understanding! Our summer vacation together will never end! Well, see you again, boy! [[ Secretary Trisha - Autumn ]] It's autumn already... Summer went by so fast... Ah... Hey, you there... Do you have time at the moment? See this Ferris wheel here? The cars seat two, but I'm all alone at the moment. So I want to ride, but I can't. Thus... If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you something. Would you ride on the Ferris wheel with a lady like myself...? I can't give you much in return, but if you'll get along with me, how about a Pokémon battle? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] I see... Forget it, then... Sorry for bringing that up so suddenly... [ Yes ] Heehee, thanks... You're young, but you're so kind. Well, let's get Pokémon battling! This lady will do her best! (Battle with Secretary Trisha, who has a Minccino. "Heehee... You're strong...") Aww, I lost?! I tried hard, I swear! Heehee, thanks anyway! There was something... really fun about it. Well... Should we get on the Ferris wheel? (They get on.) What a fantastic view... ... ... ... ... But... ... ... Sniff... Sniffle... ... ... ... ...Sorry. ...Can I stay by you? Until we get off is fine... ... So, stay there... please... ... (They get off.) ... ...Sorry. When I gazed upon the landscape from the Ferris wheel, I remembered so many things... But it's alright now... Yeah... I still haven't asked your name, have I? Well? Do you want to tell me? ...Hm, Black, is it... I'll be here a little longer, so I'd be glad if you came by to ride the Ferris wheel again. Ah... it's you... Um... Are you doing well...? Um, er... I won't mind if you aren't able to, but would you spend some more time with me? The two of us... Having a Pokémon battle... then riding the Ferris wheel... it makes me happy, so, uh... [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Ahaha... um, okay... You do seem pretty busy... Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Bye... [ Yes ] I'm so glad... thanks... Well, so long as I'm being selfish, grant me one more thing. Just this once, don't mind me... if I call you by your name... ... ...Well. Black! Let us battle Pokémon! (Same as the first battle.) Whew... That was fun... You're really good at Pokémon, Black. Battling me isn't even really satisfying, is it? But, letting me be your opponent anyway... You're so kind... I... misjudged you... ... ... ... ... ...Sorry. Shouldn't we get on the Ferris wheel already? Hey! Go time! Black! (They get on.) What a fantastic view... ... ... ... ... But... ... ... Sniff... Sniffle... ... ... ... ...Sorry. ...Can I stay by you? Until we get off is fine... ... So, stay there... please... ... (They get off.) ... ... ... ... ... You've spoiled me again, Black... I'm just this pitiful, middle-aged lady... But you're Black... No, it's alright... It's nothing... Black! Thanks! I really had fun today! I'd like to spend some time with you again! Bye, Black! [[ Kindergartener Winter - Winter ]] Aww... it's cold, but at least it's nice when it's snowing... Uh? What is it, big bro? You wanna ride? Hmmmmm... But big bro, you can't ride if you're all alone! Riding this Ferris wheel on your own is nooooo good. ... ...Oh! I just gots a great idea! I'll be alone 'til daddy comes back... So you wanna play Pokémon wit' me? If you play wit' me, I'll ride on the Ferris wheel wit' you, big bro! [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Huhhh?! Aww, you're no fun! You're a big dumb party pooper, big bro! [ Yes ] Huh?! You WILL play! Eheh! I'm so happy! Then let's play Pokémon! (Battle wit' Kindergartener Winter, who has a Solosis. "Yays! Hooray! Awesome! Big bro's so strooong!!") That was fun! Thankies! I could just tell you were strong 'cause of how big you were, big bro! But my daddy's Pokémon are reeeal strong too! He's been busy at work lately, so he can't play wit' me much, but... Today I got to play wit' big bro! Yaaay! Okay, big bro, now let's get on the Ferris wheel together! (They get on.) Yay, yaaay! It's going rooound and rooound! Wheeeeee! We're getting so high up! Whoooa! So high! It's SO high up! Ehehe! This is fun, big bro! Hey, hey, big bro! Can I sit on your lap? (They get off.) Ahhh! That was fun! You had fun too, right, big bro? It's been forever since I had that much fun! Even when daddy does come home, it's only to sleep... I can't go anywhere wit' him! But I'll be sure to play lots here 'til daddy comes back! Let's play again, big bro! Big bro Black! Hey, hey, I've got lotsa time! You too, big bro? Then play wit' me! Let's play Pokémons! And ride the Ferris wheel! [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Booo... You're busy too, big bro? Adults are all so busy... So boring... [ Yes ] Eheh! Yay! Thankies, big bro Black! Okay... so... First things first! Let's play Pokémon! (Same as the first battle.) Eheh! That was fun! You're so strong, big bro Black! Maybe even better at Pokémon than daddy! Okay, next things next! Ferris wheel! Ferris wheeeeel! Hurry, let's hurry! (They get on.) Yay, yaaay! It's going rooound and rooound! Wheeeeee! We're getting so high up! Whoooa! So high! It's SO high up! Ehehe! This is fun, big bro! Hey, hey, big bro! Can I sit on your lap? (They get off.) Eheh! I had a lot of fun! Right? Right? I know you had fun too, big bro! Thanks for playing wit' me! I love you, big bro! ...I dunno about daddy lately, though. Even when daddy's not there wit' me, I know it's 'cause he's working hard! But still... I don't like that he can't play wit' me! I wish he'd play more! Big bro, make sure you come by and play again! See you! Bye-bye! << In the gym >> Guido: How 'bout it? Surprised, aren'tcha?! As you can see, this gym is built around a rollercoaster!! Well, first off, let me give you this! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] The first thing to do in this rollercoaster gym is to get on the car! Then get off at the platforms... onto the footholds! There, switch the paths. Sometimes you can even ride onward in the cars of defeated foes! Do this to make your way to where the gym leader awaits! By the way, electric-type Pokémon are weak to ground-type attacks... Elesa: ...You aren't too dizzy from the speed, are you? Of course, now I'll make you dizzy with my lovely Pokémon, but... Gym Leader Elesa challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) You and your Pokémon... they're shining gorgeously! (After sending out her last Pokémon:) Well, things have to look bad before there can be a dramatic victory! (End of battle:) I was planning on dizzying you, but you've dazzled me instead! Elesa: Marvelous... I'm enchanted by your fighting style! I feel to the deepest level that you are a great Trainer... Take this...! [White received the Bolt Badge from Elesa!] With four badges, including the Bolt Badge, Pokémon up to Level 50 will follow you. In addition to that, this is my favorite technique... If you like, you can use it too. [White obtained TM72 "Volt Switch"!] [White put TM72 in the TMs pocket.] That is Volt Switch... After it attacks the foe, you can switch to another Pokémon. Of course, if there aren't any Pokémon to switch to, you'll just stay there... So... are you going to Driftveil City next? After all, there is a Pokémon gym there. Ah... But of course, you can't. Right... I'll help you get through. I'll be waiting on Route 5. << Stepping onto Route 5 >> Cheren: Halt, White! We've both got the Bolt Badge, so I want to see which of us is stronger! Well, let's have at it! Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) I see! So you would choose that move... (End of battle:) ...! Strong as ever! Cheren: ...Why? Why can't I win against you? (Elesa walks up.) Elesa: So you two are friends, then... How nice... That way, you can boost each other up when needed. Well, let's go. (They walk past Alder and he notices them.) ???: Oh! If it isn't Elesa! ???: Festivals are great! Gotta have some fun with life! Cheren: ...And this is? Elesa: He's Alder, the Champion of the Unova region. Cheren: He's the Champion?! And why is the Champion frolicking in a place like this? Alder: ...Man, I heard that! You're a harsh lad, ain't ya? Hey there. My name's Alder. Champion of the Unova Pokémon League! And for your information, I'm not "frolicking," I'm questing! Questing through every nook and cranny of Unova! Cheren: ...I come from Nuvema Town, myself. Call me Cheren. As a Trainer, it's my goal to become Champion, but... Alder: Hm! Adventuring with a goal's a right admirable thing. So what do you plan to do once you're Champion, kiddo? Cheren: ...Is there anything to it beyond seeking power? The Champion is the strongest Trainer... and that's about it, right? Alder: Hmm, getting stronger... stronger, huh...? Wonder if that's really such a good goal to have? Well, I won't be one to shoot down your ideas, of course. Different strokes for different folks, so I let people live with Pokémon how they see fit. I'm always putting that first in my thoughts. But maybe if you tried playing with the kids here, you'd understand a lil' better. Would you have a Pokémon battle with these two kids? Hey, you! C'mere for a sec. (Two kindergarteners walk up.) Cheren: ...I understand. Well, first... [Cheren recovered White's Pokémon!] Cheren: Now, let's go! Kindergartener Yumi and Kindergartener Tomoya challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) My Pokémon were sooooo cute! Pokémon listen to me and fight for me! Alder: Oh, you scamps! You didn't win, but it was still a great battle! Your Pokémon sure look happy, too! Now then, lad. There's guys like you who seek strength... And there are guys like these who are satisfied just being with Pokémon. All kinds, I tell you. And all kinds of answers, too. We seem to have different ideas of what it means to be Champion, but keep thinking yours anyway! Elesa: ...Well, let's go. The drawbridge to Driftveil is just ahead. Cheren: Being the Champion is all about strength! That's the only answer there can be...! Cheren: Over here. Elesa: Okay, I'll get in contact. (Phooooone. Phooooone.) It's me. Lower the drawbridge. There's Trainers here who want to challenge you. Yeah. Thanks. Now, watch! (OH MY GOD THAT DRAWBRIDGE IS INCREDIBLE) Elesa: I've got a TV stint, so I'll be heading back now. The gym leader in the next town's a bit of an old-timer, but just do your best. (Elesa leaves.) Cheren: ...I'm a Trainer. Getting stronger and winning is how I can prove I'm right. Even to the Champion. << After crossing the drawbridge >> ???: Hmph! You the Trainers Elesa was talkin' about? I'm Clay, gym leader of this here town! Guess I gotta welcome ya. Any rate, thanks ta lowerin' the bridge, some Team Plasma grunts we'd caught fled into town! Cheren: ...What a pain. Well, I'm thankful you let the bridge down for us... er, but that's unrelated, isn't it? Clay: No way, son. It was important that ya came here... sure, it meant lettin' Team Plasma into town, but so be it. I was just thinkin' this to myself, but y'oughta search out Team Plasma too. Yer some real go-getter Trainers, ain't ya? (He starts to leave.) Right... Once ya find Team Plasma, come challenge me at the gym! Life's a give and take! (He leaves.) Cheren: Understood. He didn't have to tell us so, but we'll search for Team Plasma. They're a tedious lot to beat again and again, but at least it makes us stronger, I suppose... White! I'll go on ahead. << Down in the freezer storage area south of town >> Cheren: White... You don't think Team Plasma could be in there, do you...? ...I hate cold places, but I suppose we'll have to check. What a pain... Cheren: ...White, would you hurry up and look inside? Cheren: ...Even so... Is there really something more important to being a Trainer than strength, like the Champion said? ...No matter how much I think on it, I don't understand it. ...Well, it's troublesome, but let's investigate further in. << In front of an open crate >> Cheren: ...? White, is someone inside? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Well... then should we go? [ No ] But isn't that the only place we haven't explored in this freezer? Cheren: Well? Aren't you going to investigate? Zinzolin: You pansies... Bundle me up all you want, I don't care about the cold... Cheren: ...Yeesh, they were really hidden deep. It's such a bother to do this in the cold... could we lead them outside or something? Zinzolin: We're holding onto Pokémon that are friends of the king. You won't bring harm to them here! You, give those brats a beating! Grunt: Understood, Sage! Alright, we're your opponents! (The eight of them spread out. How convenient.) Cheren: White! Let's split up to take care of these guys! Grunt: I can still be pretty strong in the cold! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) What's taken will be returned... Got it? And don't forget it...! Grunt: ...I'm shivering too much to win in a place this freezing... Grunt: I'm tough whether I'm in the cold or not! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) So what did you think?! ...I'm such a sore loser. Grunt: ...Yawn... why am I feeling kinda sleepy? Grunt: I can be reeeeeal powerful in the cold! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) You're such a figurative thorn in our magnificent plan's metaphorical side! Grunt: ...We were getting things together to transport some stolen Pokémon. We were assembled in front of the freezer in the dead of night... And that old-timer Clay saw and caught us... Grunt: I can be sorta good in the cold! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) Long live the Plasma! Grunt: ...Pokémon that work with humans might look happy, but they're suffering, count on it! No doubt about it! (After beating all four grunts on your side, Clay and some workers walk in.) Clay: Whoa there! So you were hidin' out in this freezin' place, eh? Take these Pokémon thieves away, boys! Worker: Roger!! (The workers carry the grunts out. "Here, now!" "Eeeek!" "Hweeeh!") Clay: Not bad, you two. Well, a promise's a promise! C'mon and challenge me at my gym! (Clay leaves.) Cheren: Whew... Team Plasma's logic, I tell you... They want to separate people from Pokémon... Is that really any different from just removing Pokémon from the world entirely...? What an annoying bunch. White... It's cold. Let's get outside. << Outside the gym >> Ghetsis: Hello, Mr. Clay. I am Ghetsis of Team Plasma. I see you've taken care of some of my own. Clay: Oh, no need ta thank me. Yer members were stealin' Pokémon, after all. Ghetsis: Oh? I think there's been a misunderstanding. We are merely freeing Pokémon from evil people. Clay: You really goin' with that? Honestly, I ain't too good with words... And on the other hand, you're pretty fancy with 'em... but they reek of a liar. So what d'ya mean ta say? Ghetsis: Team Plasma has an interest in Driftveil City. There are many people who are only to be found here... Clay: ...Not sure if that's a lie or truth, but... It's always best ta come to a victory without havin' to fight it. Hmph! Awright. Take 'em back, fine! Ghetsis: Just as I expected from the one they call King of the Hills... A magnificent decision-maker, indeed. Now... Allow me to speak with that Sage there... Zinzolin: Lord Ghetsis... Thank you so very much... Ghetsis: Oh, it's fine. We're working for the king together... Are we not both Sages? Well then, everyone. Whatever day we might meet again... (Team Plasma disappears with a fadeout.) Clay: You found them rotten Team Plasma guys and all, but... Well, gotta pull myself together. Let's get ta our Pokémon battle! Don't make me wait, now! (Clay goes inside.) Cheren: ...Are both of them looking to prevent quarrel in the town? Either way, I don't feel that Ghetsis fellow to be any ordinary person. ...Well, I'll be training my Pokémon. I don't want to lose to Clay one bit! I'll take the gym badge after a flawless victory! << In the gym >> Guido: As soon as you come to town, this and that goes haywire... Well, first off, take this! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] The gym leader Clay uses ground-type Pokémon! And just between us, ground-type Pokémon are weak to water-types. ...So I wonder why Clay lives so near water? Clay: Well now... The gym leader Elesa took a likin' to you, huh? Guess I ought to take a looksee at skill of that caliber! Gym Leader Clay challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) ...Ho now! That's how it'll be, huh? (After sending out last Pokémon:) It's fine by me if ya wanna give up anytime, y'know! (End of battle:) Well, I give up... And keep in mind I wasn't goin' easy on ya! Clay: So I see! And am I ever pleased! After all my years of battlin', I knew there had ta be somebody with talent like yours. Heh! Go on, take this! [White received the Quake Badge from Clay!] Five badges, eh? In that case, Pokémon up ta Level 60'll obey you. Next up, take this TM! ...Or so I'd say if I didn't have a lil' somethin' to attend to. Come up to the cave at the end of Route 6! I'll be waitin"! << Going to Route 6 >> Bianca: Heyyy! White!! (Bianca walks up.) Um, did you maybe go to the gym? Whoooooa! That's the Driftveil gym badge! Niceness! That's so awesome!! Oh, no, no! I'm just admiring! I'm a Trainer too, you know! And at times like this, we battle! Pokémon Trainer Bianca challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) That's all you got? Ha, I'll be fine! ...Totally. Maybe. I think. (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) Uhhh, this is looking... pretty bad for me, actually...! (End of battle:) ...Whew! I'm beat. I mean, beaten... Bianca: It's been a while since I had a Pokémon battle with you, White, but you've gotten REALLY strong! I'm still not that strong, so I can't put it into words all that well, but... I think you really understand the feelings of your Pokémon, White! Oh yeah! You should have this HM, too! [White obtained HM02 "Fly"!] [White put HM02 into the TMs pocket.] Bianca: Dad gave me that after... you know! So I'll always be able to come back right away and whenever! Or so he said, anyway... Oh yeah, I guess I'll have to give it to Cheren too... See you, White! Bye-bye!! << Checking the web over the Route 6 cave >> Clay: Kept me waiting! (Clay walks up.) This is a nest for an electric Pokémon called Galvantula. Why they made a nest 'round these parts, I haven't a clue... But people are worried about it, so as a gym leader, I've gotta do something! Go! Krokorok!! (Krokorok comes out and charges the web, making it turn to dust or something.) See that?! Now take this TM! It's my pride and joy! Teach it ta ALL yer Pokémon if ya like! [White obtained TM78 "Bulldoze"!] [White put TM78 in the TMs pocket.] That's Bulldoze... an attack that'll hit a foe and lower its speed. Some ground-types are kinda lackin' in speed, after all. So if ya use Bulldoze, ya can cover for that weakness. I still ain't sure just how able ya are, but... Think ya wanna go somewhere, and ya can go anywhere. Think ya wanna do somethin', and ya can, anytime. And it's alright to do what ya like, y'know? The only limit... is yerself! << Inside the cave >> (TELEAMBUSH BY TWO CREEPY WHITE-HAIRED PEOPLE) ... ... ... ... ...Come. (The two walk you over to N.) ... ... ... Go with Lord N. (The two vanish into thin air.) N: ...Thank you. Those men you just saw were two of the Shadow Triad. They're members of Team Plasma assembled by Ghetsis. By the way, it appears it was they who set up the Galvantula nest at the entrance to this cave. N: Chargestone Cave... This is a nice place. Electrical equations are put in practice, and it has connections to Pokémon... ...Were it not for the human visitors, it would be an ideal locale for me. Now then, you have been chosen... Do you find this surprising? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Ah, I see. You do look surprised. [ No ] ...Hmph. I suppose without telling you the reason, you couldn't be surprised, could you? I have spoken of you all to Ghetsis. And through the Shadow Triad, we have investigated you. Cheren is searching out an ideal he calls strength... And Bianca believes in a truth, the truth that no one has reason to grow stronger. You have not settled upon either. A neutral entity, so to speak... And that would seem to be a positive quality. Team Plasma members await you ahead. Ghetsis will test how much of a Pokémon Trainer you truly are. Bianca: Heyyy! (Bianca walks in.) Bianca: Hey, White, did you know? These floating rocks move when you push them. Isn't that right, Professor! (Juniper walks in.) Juniper: Hiiiii there! You doing well, White?! As ever, this place seems filled to the brim with that electricity Pokémon love! And there are these stones, floating by means of electricity repelling against itself Of course, not all stones can be pushed. As for why I'm here, my father asked me to look into a gear-like Pokémon called Klink. I look into the origin of Pokémon, the era when they were born... though working the behest of others is a bit annoying... Of course, though, I enjoy investigating what I'm interested in! Ah, right! White, take this with you! [White obtained a Lucky Egg!] [White put the Lucky Egg into the Items pocket.] Juniper: If a Pokémon holds that Lucky Egg... The experience it gains from battle will be slightly increased! And toughening up your Pokémon is an easy way to fill the Pokédex's pages! Juniper: White! Are you filling up your Pokédex? Meet more Pokémon, fill more pages! Bianca: Me? I'm serving as the Professor's bodyguard! Not like she really needs one or anything... But you gotta protect what's important to you! << In the middle of caving >> Juniper: Hiiiii there! Find anything? I wonder if I'll be able to collect a lot of data over here? This cave has been here since long, long ago, yet... I haven't found even a scrap of data proving Klink even existed prior to 100 years ago. Yes! Klink abruptly originated 100 years ago... That must be it! Pokémon... where'd they come from? And where are they headed...? If we could know those things, we could get along so much better. That is what I believe! Bianca: Heyyy, White! Pokémon really are wondrous, aren't they?! Why would these amazing little guys want to be with me, I wonder...? Bianca: I'm gonna catch some Pokémon here, too! The journey's all about who you meet on the way! << A little further than that >> (The whole Shadow Triad teleports in this time.) ... ... ... ... ...Come. (They walk you over a bridge to a floating rock.) ... ... ... ... ...There are stairs leading down ahead. Team Plasma is waiting for you there. << At the end of the cave >> N: The world turns gray with the mingling of a great many thoughts... I can't allow it to happen. Pokémon and humans should be cleanly split. As clearly separate as black and white. And it is then that Pokémon can be perfect. Yes! That is my dream! A dream I seek to make reality! White! Do you share my dream? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] So you too have such a dream... That's magnificent. ...But what is the extent of your dream? Let me see through battle! [ No ] ...Can those who cannot dream hope to understand me?! Grr... you... have you no heart?! Team Plasma Member N challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Do you believe we come to mutual understanding through Pokémon battles? (After sending out his last Pokémon:) I overflow with a love for my friends from my ancestors! Let me show it to you! (End of battle:) My friends are wounded... This is what a Pokémon battle does! N: ...Why? Why is it that though I agonize over being a Trainer, no matter how much I fight, I can't win...? Ugh! Is this how I am to pursue my ideals?! The legendary Pokémon... will it befriend me...?! Bianca: White! (Bianca walks up.) Mistralton City is just ahead! (Juniper walks up.) Juniper: ...Good ears, Bianca. I can't believe you heard White from so far away! So, White, who's that Trainer there...? N: ...Juniper? People without doubts on the relation between Trainers and Pokémon classify Pokémon by arbitrary rules, as you know... I can't very well approve of your "Pokédex"... but what exactly are your thoughts on it? Juniper: Oh...? You sound quite opposed to it. But, hey, your opinion is just one way of looking at things. And my own wishes, too, are just one of the ways. How to get along with Pokémon... that's for everyone to decide for themselves, isn't it? N: ...So it's people with mistaken beliefs who torture Pokémon... I can't simply ignore such an idiotic world as that! (N leaves.) Juniper: ...Well, I wasn't exactly expecting him to get it right away... It's alright for him to learn bit by bit, so I hope he comes to understand how we all feel. Now then... I suppose I'll collect a bit more data here, hm? For us to better get along with Pokémon, we need to know more about them! Bianca: Uhh, White! I'm serving as a bodyguard for Professor Juniper right now, so I'll be sticking with the Professor! << Walking into Mistralton City >> Oh! It's you! You must be White!! Can I take a quick look at your Pokédex? ...Hm, yes... So you've found __ Pokémon! Oh! And you've found Klink?! You're quite the Trainer! Oops, I'm sorry! I got a little overexcited there. My name is... ALSO Juniper. That's right! My daughter is the one who made your Pokédex! She's told me all sorts of things about you. I'm just overjoyed I could meet you here! So in commemoration of our meeting, let me upgrade your Pokédex! Okay? [White's Pokédex was upgraded!] Juniper: There are some Pokémon that are of the same species, but have different forms. With this upgrade, you can now keep track of which forms you've seen! Plus, I've added some additional functions to make it easier to search for Pokémon! (A girl walks over.) ???: Professor Juniper, who's this Trainer? Juniper: Oh! ...Oh! Sorry, I'm sorry. Skyla, this is White, an acquaintance of my daughter! White's journeying through Unova, aiming to complete the Pokédex. Skyla: I see! Then you'll probably challenge the gym here, right? Wow! I'm really looking forward to it!! Juniper: Yeah, White! It'd be great if you challenged her! I'm sure you'll just soar right through the gym here! Well, Skyla, if anything comes up again, I'm counting on you! Skyla: ...Professor, my plane's a cargo plane! It carries luggage, not people. ...Not to mention places like Kanto and Sinnoh aren't easy destinations! Juniper: Hey, now, don't be so harsh while you're making such a cute face... Humans need to help each other, just like we do with Pokémon! Well, you two, hope we meet again! (Mr. Juniper leaves.) Skyla: ...Why! So irresponsible for a world-renowned Pokémon professor! I still don't believe it. Now, White! As the gym leader, I'd be very glad if you were to challenge my gym. But first, there's something I need to do. Earlier, when I was flying my cargo plane... I saw something atop the Celestial Tower. It was a weakened Pokémon, I'm sure of it! I can't very well ignore it, now can I? So I'm going ahead and investigating! That said, I'm going to the Celestial Tower on Route 7... And if you want, you can come too. << At the top of the Celestial Tower >> Skyla: You came! Thank you. What I saw earlier was indeed a wounded Pokémon. But it's alright now! I gave it a Max Revive, then it got better and flew away! Teehee! Great view, isn't it?! A pilot needs eyes that can see things from miles away! Right! Since you came all this way, how about you ring that bell? The Celestial Tower's bell calms the spirits of the Pokémon. And its tone is affected by the heart of the one who rings it... Skyla: Don't be shy, give it a try! It's the Celestial Tower's bell... Ring the bell? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] White rang the bell... The sound of the bell echoed out all around... Skyla: What a nice sound... White, you're a kind and powerful person... That's what this sound tells me... So allow me to reintroduce myself! I am Skyla, gym leader of Mistralton Pokémon Gym. I use flying-type Pokémon. As soon as you're ready, please do come to my gym! I'll be ready to give you a warm welcome! << In the gym >> Guido: Here, take this Fresh Water! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] Just between the two of us... Rock, electric, ice... flying-types have quite a few weaknesses, surprisingly! So as ever, use Pokémon and attacks of those types and victory is before you! And such. By the way, you'll have to get inside cannons to proceed in this gym. You can step into the cannons from any side - top, bottom, right, or left! Skyla: Teehee! I've been waiting for you. Did you have fun with my pride and joy, the cannons of Mistralton Gym? Well, next up, you can do something even more fun with me! Gym Leader Skyla challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Just what kind of Trainer are you, I wonder? I'm getting pretty excited over here! (After sending out her last Pokémon:) It's my last Pokémon... which means I can't give up here! (End of battle:) I feel stronger just battling with you... thanks! Skyla: You're an amazing Pokémon Trainer! Me and my Pokémon are both happy to have had our first real challenge in a long time. I'm happy to present you this official League-approved gym badge! It suits you! [White received the Jet Badge from Skyla!] Oh, you're just so amazing! And with just that gym badge, Pokémon up to Level 70 will listen to you. Also, seriously, I'm REALLY happy! So I want you to take this TM as thanks for our battle! [White obtained TM62 "Acrobatics"!] [White put TM62 in the TMs pocket.] If you use that attack I gave you, Acrobatics, and the Pokémon isn't holding any items, it'll double your power! It's kind of a strategic attack. ...As in, you can use it to cover for your demerit of not holding any items! ...Right, so. If you cross Twist Mountain to Icirrus City... Team Plasma, was it? Well, they seem to be headed toward there... What kind of people are they, anyway? << Outside the gym >> N: ...To understand each other, Trainers struggle through battle, and wound Pokémon in the process. Am I the only one? The only one who sees how very painful it is? Regardless... I have spoken to your Pokémon. ...Since the day I was born, I have been brought up with Pokémon. It's more comfortable to me than talking with people. So I know Pokémon cannot ever lie. Unfezant... Would you tell me what kind of Trainer White is? ...I see. So you were born and raised in Nuvema Town, together with your mother... Taking the opportunity presented to you by the Pokédex, you are out on a journey to see the world... hm. Even so, for whatever reason, this Unfezant seems to believe in you... How splendid...! If only all people could get along with Pokémon as you all do... Yet the fate of Pokémon and humans is left in the hands of those who only use Pokémon for themselves... Ghetsis is having Team Plasma search for a special stone. The paired Light Stone and Dark Stone... they are what we seek. The body of the legendary Pokémon was destroyed, and it sleeps in the form of a stone, awaiting the hero's return... I will revive the legendary dragon Pokémon from its slumber. And I will befriend it, and the world will recognize me as a hero... ...My dream is to make this a world without strife. If the world is changed by force, there will be those who oppose it. And when there is opposition, those wounded are the innocent Pokémon whom foolish Trainers abuse... Yes... Pokémon are not playthings for people to control! As such... It pains me a little to separate Trainers from their Pokémon when there are ones like you who respect each other... << Heading toward Twist Mountain on Route 7 >> [The Xtransceiver is ringing.] [White connected to the Xtransceiver.] Mom: White! It's mom. How are you? Whoa, Route 7?! You've gone a long way! Hey, are your Pokémon feeling fine? You couldn't have made it that far all by yourself! It's thanks to your Pokémon always being there for you, so take good care of them! And I'm super serious about that! Alright, be well on your way! This was your superior-in-Pokémon-training mother speaking! << Before going up the stairs to Twist Mountain >> Cheren: White! We've both got the Jet Badge, so I want to see which of us is stronger! Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Your strength... versus my strength, hm... (After sending out his last Pokémon:) Is strength a matter of not being beaten? Or is it all about winning? (End of battle:) ...Pokémon battles are fun, but what is strength?! Alder: Ho! That was a fine Pokémon battle! The two of you must've been raised Trainers! (Alder hops down from the cliff. Uh.) Cheren: ...I was wondering who that was... The Champion Alder, huh? I got whacked 'cause I'm weak! ...So it really worries me that you'd say it was a good match regardless... Alder: ...Oh, you. Cut down on the harsh words, kiddo, I'd really appreciate it. So anyway, I asked you earlier too, but what're you gonna do once you get stronger? Cheren: ...Once I get stronger... Once I become the Champion, that'll be my reason for living. I want a proof of my existence. Alder: Hm... You remind me of Marshal. Alright, I suppose it's valuable to have something to aspire to. But it's important to have something else to value, so you can use that power you've got! Don't you think? Well anyway, take this! Hey, you too. [White obtained HM03 "Surf"!] [White put HM03 into the TMs pocket.] Alder: If you use that move, Surf, you can cross over water! Later, young Trainers! And don't forget to consider what the Pokémon walking with you want! (Alder leaves.) Cheren: What do I want to do...? If I don't know that, then as a Trainer, I have to prove myself to everyone by getting stronger! ...White. Next time, I'll win! << Inside Twist Mountain >> Cheren: ...White! Clay: Wasn't expectin' ta meet ya while checkin' on Twist Mountain... Mighty coincidence, that... Anyway, you look like you've toughened up. Cheren: ...Really? Clay: By the way, you two... You seen Team Plasma lately? I've heard from other gym leaders they're meetin' up, but... They buried deep or what? Who knows where they're hidin' out. But this is the only attitude I can have 'bout it... Well, this has got nothin' ta do with you, anyway. Kids oughta just have fun journeyin' with their Pokémon. Twist Mountain's nice! My favorite place of all's just down this passage... Hrm... you'd probably get it better if ya saw it for yerself. See ya, chickadees! If ya want, come see me on my mountain for some Trainer trainin'! (Clay leaves.) Cheren: I was sorta mentally preparing for him to dump some annoying task on us again... White... Well, I'll go ahead, so. << At the end of Twist Mountain >> Grunt: Ugh, you're strong... But that strength only comes as a result of you Trainers controlling Pokémon, doesn't it?! Cheren: ...So you want to liberate Pokémon... If that's what you desire, you can very well try. But resorting to force and stealing everyone's Pokémon is just wrong, no matter what. That's not strength! (Another grunt comes in.) Grunt: Oh, buddy! So here you were! We found it! We need to head to the tower! Grunt: Hear that?! Team Plasma has obtained the power that will change this Pokémon-abusing world! Grunt: That's right! If a mistaken world needs to be righted, brute force is the natural answer! Now, we'll be off to our king, Lord N!! (The grunts leave.) Cheren: I'm... not sure what they might have gotten their hands on, but... They're real pests, even going so far as getting stronger just to annoy everyone... White... I'm going to stay here a little longer. I need to think for a while. About what it means to be Champion... What do I want to do once I become strong...? And who was I doing it for in the first place...? << Coming outside Twist Mountain >> (Mr.) Juniper: Oh, White! How's that Lilligant doing? Wow! Lilligant here seems really attached to you! The Pokédex is important and all, but times of togetherness like these are so much moreso! By the by, do you know about Dragonspiral Tower? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Oh! Admirable, well done! [ No ] Oh, well. Even if you don't know about it... Right! Then listen to a smidgen of what this old coot has to say. Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the oldest structure in the Unova region. Most importantly, it's also the place where the legendary Pokémon was born. And lastly... where it now slumbers! It's just past Icirrus City here... I don't know any details beyond that, though. At any rate, someone's gone inside the tower... My daughter's investigating in there, too. There are some things she knows nothing about... She finds them romantic, in a way. That said, old coot here is going to go sightseeing at Dragonspiral Tower! See you! << In the gym >> Guido: Here, take this Fresh Water! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] Fire melts ice, or you can smash it with fighting. Or maybe you can crack it with rock and steel! Brycen: Your heart seems suitably prepared to challenge a gym leader. Now, come! Gym Leader Brycen challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) You are strong! No, rather, your Pokémon are strong! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) I shall try you at my limits! You shall be schooled! (End of battle:) You and your Pokémon...! They are a stellar combination! What a beautiful friendship you've built! Brycen: You possess a strong heart! Have this! [White received the Freeze Badge from Brycen!] Seven badges... I see. Now, Pokémon up to Level 80 will hear out your every order. Take this TM, packed with my thoughts! [White obtained TM79 "Frost Breath"!] [White put TM79 in the TMs pocket.] That is Frost Breath, an attack that will always land a critical hit. << Outside the gym >> Cheren: ...White. Bianca and I were talking, and... have I... changed since we set out from Nuvema Town? What do I want to do? What SHOULD I do? I've been thinking over those questions... And when I look at myself, I can't think of any answers to them... Have I really gotten strong...? Or is it just my Pokémon? I don't know anymore... Bianca: Oh, that's our Cheren... even when he's got his two best buddies here for him! White! I'm gonna be going over to the Pokémon Fanclub now. I'm searching for what I want to do... and what I CAN do! (Brycen comes out.) Brycen: Who's there? Bianca: Who's... that? I'm Bianca, and this is Cheren... Brycen: I know you're here. How about you show yourselves? (The Shadow Triad materializes.) Triad Member: ... ... ... ...Well done, Icirrus gym leader. Few can perceive the Shadow Triad lurking in the shadows. Triad Member: ...There is something we planned to tell White alone, but never mind that. Lord Ghetsis has a message for you. Come to Dragonspiral Tower. Triad Member: ...Lord N awaits you there. That is all. Brycen: Dragonspiral Tower?! What do you mean...? Hey! Details...! (The Triad disappears.) Brycen: !! If you youths back there wish to challenge the gym, I ask that you wait a little while. I'm heading toward Dragonspiral Tower now! Cheren: I'm going too! Dragonspiral Tower is north of here, right? (Cheren and Brycen leave.) Bianca: Whoa whoa whoa! W-What... what do I do, huh?! F-For now, I guess I'll have to go to Dragonspiral Tower... Umm, north from here, huh? << In front of the entrance to Dragonspiral Tower >> Bianca: Heyyy, White! (Bianca catches up. Also, Mr. Juniper was already standing out here.) (Mr.) Juniper: Oh, White! And Bianca there, too! See, I'm also a Juniper. My daughter was the one who gave you your Pokédex. Bianca: Hello there, Uncle Juniper! It's all thanks to Professor Juniper that I could go on an adventure. I'm sooooo grateful to her for exposing me to so many possibilities! Well, indirectly, at least! Juniper: Is that right? That's great. But we can leave talking at our leisure to later! White! Bianca! I'll explain the situation. A huge number of Team Plasma grunts tore through the walls of the tower and got inside! Brycen... and that other youth, Cheren... The two of them were chasing Team Plasma, but... Bianca: ...Professor Juniper, what's the Dragonspiral Tower? Juniper: Bwahaha! You're really wondering now, am I right? Then let me explain it simply. Dragonspiral Tower is... A towering structure from long, long ago. Before the creation of Unova, even. On the very top floor, the legendary dragon Pokémon awaits the appearance of a human in the pursuit of the ideal... so they say. So, are you two going to chase down Team Plasma like Cheren? I can't exactly approve of you going up against Team Plasma... Bianca: It'll be fine! White and Cheren are super strong, and they've beaten Team Plasma a bunch of times now! ...Umm, I'm not that strong at all, though. ...I guess, if you want... I could... stay here and be your bodyguard... uh, Professor...? Juniper: Really? Thank you! That's really reassuring. Well, White! I'm counting on you. This is all the consolation I can really give you right now. [White obtained Old Gateau!] [White put the Old Gateau in the Medicine pocket.] Juniper: Regardless... What is Team Plasma aiming for...? Bianca: White... You can't push yourself too hard! << In front of some stairs in Dragonspiral Tower >> [Something's...] [Struggling on top of the tower...?] (After actually going up those stairs...) Cheren: White! (Pan over to Cheren.) Even collapsed structures can serve as paths. Well, I'm out! I've got to chase down Team Plasma! << Further into Dragonspiral Tower >> Brycen: White?! I'll hold off these grunts! You go on ahead! Cheren: You seem so calm about all this... But for Team Plasma to be here, of all places... What a royal pain! << Higher up in Dragonspiral Tower >> BZZZZZRRRRRGH!! [Something's...] [Zinzolinlently struggling on top of the tower...?] Giallo: There's less and less doubt that Lord N will be the hero! What?! You came all the way up here?! How... bizarre! Well! For the sake of Lord N! Trap them here! (The grunts do so.) Giallo: All but Team Plasma are enemies! We shall use all our power to remove them! Grunt: There's no room for obstacles like you getting in the way of Unova's new dawn! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) Unova's new dawn is growing distant... Grunt: Grr... losing to a twerp like you... But Team Plasma is more than just one! Grunt: Our wish is finally being granted! No one can stop us now! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) Stooop! Er, but like I said, you won't stop US! Grunt: Okay, you stopped me... But the next guy won't let you make a move! Grunt: Let's go! PLASMAAAAA!! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) Even if I lost, I'll say it anyway! PLAS-MA! PLAS-MA! Grunt: Our king will make a new land! Grunt: Come on! Can you handle four of a kind? Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) What?! You're still fighting fit! Grunt: What's with you...? Why have you persisted so FAR? F-For now, go on ahead...! << At the top of the tower, N and Zekrom >> N: Well, White? Zekrom has shown himself for the hero who will guide the world. Together we will fight to bring reassurance to all Pokémon! And now, I will head to the Pokémon League with Zekrom, where we shall surpass the Champion! Thereupon we shall put an end to the Pokémon battles that wound Pokémon so. A world of only Pokémon... it shall finally be realized. (Zekrom TAKES TO THE SKIES.) If you wish to stop us, you too must become a hero! So! Seek out Reshiram, the Pokémon paired with Zekrom, and finally all shall be equal! Then you can stop us! So, what will you do? My prediction...? In the future I foresee, you will indeed meet Reshiram. I offer a challenge to you who walks with Pokémon and earns their trust...! Can you put up an opposition to the formula that will change the world...? If you wish to preserve the bonds between people and Pokémon, search out Reshiram! ...Reshiram surely awaits you in the form of the Light Stone. (N walks away and Zekrom scoops him up. Cheren and Brycen come in.) Cheren: White, was that flying thing...? Brycen: What on earth?! Cheren: Why...? Was that N just now? How was he with the legendary Pokémon? He couldn't really be called a hero, could he?! And did I hear him telling you to search out a legendary Pokémon?! Brycen: Calm down! Let's head back first. The key for now is to clear up what's happened and decide what to do next. (They return to outside the tower.) Juniper: I'm astonished... The legendary dragon Pokémon has truly been revived in our age... Cheren: And that man, N... The boss of Team Plasma seems to be the one who revived the legendary Pokémon. Furthermore, he told White to search for another legendary Pokémon and flew away... Bianca: Huh? ...There are two legendary dragon Pokémon? ???: Ah, yes! (Alder walks up.) Juniper: Isn't that Alder? Long time no see! Are you doing well? Alder: Cut the introductions. That intense lightning coming from the tower... That Pokémon has the power to destroy the world... If someone who can subdue it wants everyone to release their Pokémon... Will he do it through fear...? Or admiration...? Either way, we can't let the world be changed, no matter what... I can't imagine a world where we and Pokémon are separated... Juniper: I see... And this Team Plasma boss who revived Zekrom, N, spoke of searching for another, Reshiram...? Alder: ...I believe the legends say Zekrom and its powerful electricity, together with another Pokémon, destroyed the former Unova in an instant... So N knew of this, and claimed the other was awaiting you? Bianca: Huh... uh? Wouldn't reviving a Pokémon that dreadful be kinda... dangerous...? Alder: ...Little miss, you're too soft. But I really don't even know if any other Pokémon can oppose it. At any rate, the legends look to be true... It would be best to do what N said... It's not searching for the dragon - well, its stone - that's the problem. Rather, it's the disaster that could occur if Team Plasma revived the both of them! There's a place I know of from my journeys across Unova... Let us head to the Relic Castle! White, all of you, come! Juniper: Really, now? Well, I'll leave that to you. I'll investigate the tower in case I can turn up anything useful... Brycen: Then I will be with you. (The two go inside.) Cheren: ...I think I sorta understand now. ...Being able to do something for Pokémon in times like this... for anyone... that's strength. I'm sure of it. And my strength has been given to me by my Pokémon. Alright, Champion, let's hurry! (Alder and Cheren leave.) Bianca: White, this has become a major incident... I'm getting a little confused, honestly... You're going to the Relic Castle, right, White? It's deep in the Desert Resort connected to Route 4... The Relic Castle, I mean... << In front of the entrance to the Relic Castle >> Cheren: Halt, White! That's the entrance to the Relic Castle. Even so, White... you're amazing. You got here so far ahead of me... The Pokémon in the Desert Resort took up a surprising amount of my time... I've come this far thanks to my Pokémon. ...Alder's gone ahead. We need to hurry, too. << Lower in the Relic Castle >> Ryoku: Lord Ghetsis spoke of you. Just how powerful are you? Allow me to test! Show me if you can defeat we of Team Plasma! << At the bottom of the castle >> Cheren: ...We finally caught up. Alder: ...You... Over here... Stand by me. Ghetsis: What an orderly little bunch... The other dragon... You've gone through a fair amount of trouble looking to revive Reshiram. But the Light Stone you're looking for isn't here. Now... I must congratulate you, White! You have been chosen by our king. If you wish for this world where people live with Pokémon to go on... You must subdue the other dragon Pokémon spoken of in legend, and fight our king. If you do not, Team Plasma will steal Pokémon from all people and let them loose! Alder: ...Let them loose? Is that what the Pokémon who co-exist with Trainers really want? Is Team Plasma saying that stealing Pokémon from people is setting them free? Ghetsis: Oh my, so this is the Champion Alder. You lost a long-time Pokémon partner of yours to illness some years back. Afterward, without having to fight a battle, you were ordered by the Elite Four to protect the Pokémon League. You've made the Unova region unsteady... Such a Champion as you wishes to protect this world where people and Pokémon live together? We and our king will show the people of Unova that Team Plasma is stronger than the Champion! And just like the hero who created Unova, we will subdue the legendary Pokémon and make all follow our orders! All Trainers will relinquish their Pokémon to us! For that purpose, our king has already prepared a suitable castle for the legendary Zekrom. Alder: ...I can't lose to you! For all Trainers who love their Pokémon...! And for all Pokémon who believe in their Trainers...! Ghetsis: ...Our king has no interest in you. He thinks of you as nothing more than another foe. Alder: ...Did you stay here to say that? Then I've been made a fool of, too... Ghetsis: Oh, could you really be...? Gentle, now, calm down... We wouldn't want the Champion to get pointlessly hurt, now would we? We will surely send all people into despair... And how I will love to see that moment. Well then, take care... (Ghetsis leaves.) Cheren: ...Alder, what will you do now? Alder: ...Hrm. I've got no choice but to return to the Pokémon League and fight N. Like Ghetsis said... or instructed... We should find out what to do with the Light Stone, right? Cheren: ...Anyway, Alder, shouldn't we go outside? Alder: ...Uh, I suppose. It's sorta hard to breathe down here! Cheren: ...I'm not quite sure how to say it. But I can't let this stand! Alder: ...I wonder what this N person really wants? Does he want to prove himself right by having the two dragons fight? [The Xtransceiver is ringing.] [White connected to the Xtransceiver.] (Ms.) Juniper: White!! White!! White!! Hello?! White!! Oh, it connected! Um... White!! I need you at the Nacrene City museum right now! RIGHT NOW! Okay? REALLY right now! Alder: ...Man, I heard Juniper's daughter from over here. Guess something serious is going down. Something awaits us at Nacrene City's museum... Well, let's go on! (Alder Flys away.) Cheren: ...I'll look inside once more. I don't want to believe what Ghetsis said... But you head to the Nacrene City museum! << In front of the museum >> Juniper: ...I heard about things from Alder. White, we've gotten involved in something very serious... (Lenora comes out.) Lenora: This, right? Bianca: That's, um... That old stone you found in Desert Resort... Lenora: Yeah... So, it's seriously a dragon Pokémon? Juniper's Dad: Um...! I did some investigation of Dragonspiral Tower. There were materials that indicated it was from the same era as this Light Stone! Juniper: ...And I've checked up on that. Lenora: Nice work, guys! Bianca: Um, whatever the case... It's a really good thing Team Plasma didn't notice this old stone before. Lenora: Yeah... Now that I think about it, since they were planning to revive a legendary dragon Pokémon, that must've been why they stole the Dragon Skull! Well, White, this is for... Alder: Wait, White! Taking that Light Stone means fighting N, should anything happen to me. Is that alright? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Alder: Then, the world N wants... A world where Pokémon and Trainers are separated awaits us? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Alder: But... But still! Please! Come on! Just take the stone, for our sake! [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Alder: ...Sorry I had to get so forceful. The world where everyone can live with Pokémon... protect it for us! [ Yes ] Alder: ...Your resolve is impressive. Alright. Take heart, and accept it. Lenora: ...Right then. This Light Stone's for you. You gotta protect the true future, the one for both us and Pokémon! Keep this safe, White! [White obtained the Light Stone!] [White put the Light Stone in the Key Items pocket.] Juniper's Dad: ... So... how are we planning on waking the dragon Pokémon up from the stone? ("Oh?" "..." "Umm...") Lenora: Aha! Aren't they there? You know, those two? Alder: Ah, yes. There is them. White! Head for Opelucid City. The gym leader of that town may know something about the dragon Pokémon. I'll be waiting there! Later! (Alder Flys off.) Juniper: Aha! Yes, perhaps Opelucid's Drayden may be familiar with it! Juniper's Dad: White! Don't forget there are always Pokémon right beside you! Juniper: What kind of creature is the dragon Pokémon? Is there a way to wake it up? We'll head back to the lab and look into it... (The Junipers leave.) Lenora: Don't you worry! You need anything, just come runnin' to us! Bianca: ...Man, I can't tell what's going on other than major bad news, but... ...White, do you know how to get to Opelucid City? Cross Tubeline Bridge from Icirrus City, and it's just past there. And if you didn't get that explanation, you can always check the Town Map... << Entering Tubeline Bridge >> Bianca: White!! (Bianca walks up.) I've been thinking about a whole buncha things lately... What can I do now that I'm journeying? Just what do I wanna do with my life? I aspired to be a fantastic model like Elesa... And I thought I might want to be a Pokémon professor like Professor Juniper... But to be that, I need to know all about Pokémon! That said, let's battle! Pokémon Trainer Bianca challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Ohhh! You chose THAT move! (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) This always happens when I know my Pokémon are watching... (End of battle:) ...Regardless of my Pokémon, I've TOTALLY done my best!! Bianca: Yep! White, you sure are awesome! I was really moved! So take this! [White obtained a Full Restore!] [White put the Full Restore in the Medicine pocket.] Bianca: ...I had my precious Pokémon stolen from me by Team Plasma back in Castelia City, you know? So I TOTALLY understand!! If Team Plasma tries to forcibly free Pokémon, it'll just leave everyone in tears! White! Go stop Team Plasma! So that people who love Pokémon won't have their Pokémon taken away from them! That's the truth and the ideal I think you should seek, White... Bianca: Sorry... I know, this is kind of an emergency and all, so it's pretty dumb that I'm still saying stuff like this. I was really hoping I could just tell you to relax, White, but... ...But I know you'll be alright, White. Yeah! Totally just dandy! I give you my guarantee! So, yeah... I dunno how to say it, other than... Bye-bye!! << At the end of Tubeline Bridge >> (The Shadow Triad appears.) ... ... .. ... ...Come. (They walk you up to Ghetsis.) ... ... ... Go with Lord Ghetsis. (They teleport behind Ghetsis.) Ghetsis: Splendid... It seems you obtained the Light Stone. First I must congratulate you on your efforts. I will tell you Lord N's intentions... As you have both subdued legendary Pokémon, he wants to fight with conviction, to see if he is truly a hero... I have trained him for the role of one who would become a hero since he was very young. And as a result, he has earned the recognition of the legendary Pokémon... He is truly a pure one. The liberation of Pokémon that I... that Team Plasma speaks of... It means the separation of Pokémon from foolish people! Yes! So that all Trainers would be powerless, unable to oppose me. It would be perfect if we were the only ones who could use Pokémon! So I made my preparations. If I were to put my perfect plan into action... I would have to relinquish one or two Pokémon from foolish Trainers who would not challenge Team Plasma. Then the count would grow to a hundred people, on to a thousand... Even the Champion and the gym leaders would follow, and would not dare defy me. Owning Pokémon would become a crime! Even those like Bianca, who had her Pokémon stolen in Castelia City, would be willfully sending off their Pokémon. That's the kind of world it would become. Even though you hold that stone, I highly doubt the legendary Pokémon would recognize you as a hero. Yet if you do not wish to part from your beloved Pokémon, you must try your hardest... << In Opelucid City >> Alder: ...Oh, White? Over here. (He walks you over to Ghetsis with a crowd of people.) That lying Ghetsis... He's desperately trying to fool everyone with his phony speeches. Ghetsis: It is so! Through Lord N, we have joined forces with the legendary Pokémon! A brand new land shall be created! This shall be a reliving of the legendary hero's construction of our Unova! ("Hero?" "Dragon?!" "Legend!") Pokémon are creatures whose sheer potential is limited by humans. We are beings who feel they must study a great many things. If we wish to see their true magnificence, we should liberate them from our control! ("Liberate?" "The Pokémon?") Create a new land, together with we of Team Plasma! For a new land where Pokémon, people, all shall be free... Everyone, please let your Pokémon go! And thus, I, Ghetsis, conclude my speech. Thank you for your attention. (Ghetsis and his grunts leave.) Old Man: Hm, so we... We've been torturing Pokémon...? Woman: Ooogh... Should I give up my Pokémon like Team Plasma says...? Woman: ...But that's...! I can't! I'd be so lonely without my Pokémon! (Everyone leaves, except Drayden and Iris.) Iris: Man! Now THAT was a weirdo speech! Drayden: ...Unova was made via people and Pokémon joining forces. If Pokémon wanted nothing to do with people, they would willfully free themselves... If they despised Poké Balls, their feelings on the matter would not and could not be held back. Alder: Shall we go, White? (They walk up to Iris and Drayden.) Alder: Long time no see, Iris, Drayden. Iris: Oh! Uncle Alder and the missy from before! Drayden: ...What is it? What could the Champion who left the Pokémon League to wander the land want from me? Alder: Frankly...! I want you to tell me about the legendary dragon Pokémon! Iris: Y'mean Zekrom? Or maybe Reshiram? Also that's kinda sudden, so what's up? Drayden: That shady Ghetsis man who was just making that speech mentioned them. And that a character named N has revived Zekrom... Alder: Right! That Trainer N told White here to search for another dragon Pokémon or something. Drayden: ...I don't follow. Is this N planning to have the two dragon Pokémon fight to prove his own convictions? Iris: Huhhh?! He's already made friends with the dragon Pokémon?! Alder: Correct, Iris. Fighting with Pokémon is done both for fellow Trainers... And for Trainers and Pokémon to understand each other. Well then... I'll head for the Pokémon League! No, in this case, it would be returning, wouldn't it...? I'll beat N, of course! I'll teach him how wonderful this world where we can live in harmony with Pokémon is! And, White! As the Champion, I'll be waiting for you! So once you have the Opelucid gym badge, come to the League. Of course, the Opelucid gym leader is tough! Well, I'm leaving it to you, Drayden, Iris! (Alder walks off. What, no Fly?) Iris: ...Aww, he left... Are things gonna be okay? He looked a little frightened there. Drayden: ...Don't worry, Iris. He's the strongest Trainer in Unova, remember. Now, White? Come to my house. Like Alder said, I can teach you about the legendary dragon Pokémon. Iris, you lead the way. (Drayden leaves.) Iris: The tale of Zekrom and Reshiram is a tale of two Pokémon! We'll tell it to you! I can lead you anywhere around Opelucid! This way! (She walks you forward some.) Iris: And that way! Iris: Just a lil' more!! Iris: It's here! Drayden: ...Well, I'll start. That's the Light Stone you have there. Reshiram, who will awake from the Light Stone, and the already-awakened Zekrom were originally one Pokémon. Iris: ...That one dragon Pokémon made a new land together with twin heroes. And people and Pokémon lived their days happily! Drayden: But one day... The older of the two heroes sought the truth, and the younger sought the ideal. A dividing struggle began to decide who was right... The single dragon that had walked with the twins was also split into two to support both... Iris: A dark dragon that searched through the new, hopeful world for its ideal... Its name was Zekrom. And another... A light dragon that searched through the world of the past for the truth... Its name was Reshiram. Drayden: The two being equal entities from the very start only made the quarrel more violent. Whichever side won, they would end up absolutely exhausted... The twin heroes, too, could not find either to be right in their struggle... So the struggle was ended... Iris: And yet, yet, yet... the hero's sons began to struggle again... So Zekrom and Reshiram used their lightning and flames to eradicate Unova in an instant... But if people hadn't been mistaken about how to get along with Pokémon, the world wouldn't have been destroyed! So Zekrom and Reshiram did their best for everyone and made a new land! And so so so...! Drayden: ...I'm certain Pokémon don't need possessions. As people continue having their own thoughts on Pokémon, some of them may be hateful... But even so! It is necessary for Pokémon and people to believe in each other to continue living... Iris: Yow, that's right!! And so so sooo! We just CAN'T let Team Plasma separate us from our Pokémon! Drayden: ...I'm sorry, that last part was a bit off-topic. But that's all we can tell you. Unfortunately, we know nothing about how to awaken the legendary dragon Pokémon... Drayden: ...Well, I made a promise to Alder. You'll have to come get the Opelucid gym badge. Well then, White. I await your challenge at the Pokémon gym! Iris: It's great when everyone can get along, Pokémon and humans! << In the gym >> Guido: Welcome! This is Unova's greatest trial for the greatest Trainers! I'm talking about Opelucid Gym! First off, here, take this Fresh Water! [White obtained Fresh Water!] [White put the Fresh Water in the Medicine pocket.] I'll quickly explain the tricks and traps of Opelucid Gym! This gym has paths resembling a dragon's back, neck, and head. But if you press the switches on the dragon's arms, your destination will change! Be sure to watch how the dragon's neck moves! Drayden: Good, so you've come. I am Drayden, leader of the Opelucid Pokémon gym. ...As a mayor, I have put my efforts into the city's growth... And as a Trainer, I have merely pursued strength... What I seek now is a young Trainer that can show me their bright future. Would I be right to hope that you can show me your future as Iris does? Gym Leader Drayden challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) ...So you'd do that? Yes, you seem a tough opponent... (After sending out his last Pokémon:) Well now! This is a do or die moment... May my ancestors' blood flow in me!! (End of battle:) I'm worn out, but boiling over with emotions... What can I say...? Drayden: Magnificent! I'm grateful I could both meet and battle you! [White received the Legend Badge from Drayden!] Hm! You've obtained all the Unova gym badges? Now, any Pokémon will follow your orders! Take this as well. It's a favorite TM of mine, named Dragon Tail. [White obtained TM82 "Dragon Tail"!] [White put TM82 in the TMs pocket.] Dragon Tail is an attack that deals damage to a Pokémon and returns it to its Poké Ball. Essentially, it forces the opponent to switch to another Pokémon. ...I have a request for you. I want you to go after Alder, toward the Pokémon League. The Pokémon League is beyond Route 10 from Opelucid City... But you'll have to pass Victory Road to get there. I know Alder's strength, but I am unsure about this man N... << Outside the gym >> Juniper: ...Hiiiii! Did Drayden toughen you up? Oh, I come bearing a report on methods to revive the legendary Reshiram. Telling it to you over the Xtransceiver seemed pretty inexcusable... So, we came to a conclusion... But we still don't really know anything, unfortunately. We're sure that the Pokémon will awaken if it recognizes somebody's strength... And aren't you more impressive than anybody?! You've collected all eight Unova gym badges, haven't you? You're a real bruiser now! You may not realize it yourself, but you've changed hugely since you set out from Nuvema! Now, as for where a Pokémon Trainer who's done visiting all the gyms is to go next... Allow me to guide you! (She walks you up to the Route 10 gate entrance.) Juniper: If you pass through this gate and go through Route 10, there'll be badge-checking gates. Cross Victory Road beyond those, and you're finally at the Pokémon League! I remember back when I was leading you around Accumula's Pokémon Center... Hey, White, do you regret having journeyed with your Pokémon at all? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Juniper: Oh! Alright, that's fine! No need to go into the details, now. But still, I'm very glad you three chose to go journeying with Pokémon! [ No ] Juniper: Well, thank you! That's the best reply I could expect! And I, too, am very glad I gifted you three those Pokémon! Because once again, it's given way to more fantastic meetings between people and Pokémon! White, take this present of mine! [White obtained the Master Ball!] [White put the Master Ball into the Items pocket.] Juniper: That Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball, always bound to catch any Pokémon! This may be the only real assistance I can give you, but... White, keep being White! And whatever happens, keep your bearings, and sally forth with your Pokémon! Seeeee yaaaaa!! << Partway through Route 10 >> Cheren: ...Halt... White! (Cheren and Bianca walk up.) Bianca: Drayden and Professor Juniper told us... you're heading to the Pokémon League? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Cheren: If it's Alder... if it's the Champion fighting, I believe it'll turn out right in the end, but... [ No ] Cheren: You don't have to hide it. If the worst should happen, you'll have to battle Team Plasma's boss, N... So I want to test you! To see just how strong you are! Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) I'll hit you with everything I've gained on this journey! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) ...My Pokémon and I will show you the full extent of our power! (End of battle:) ...Thank you. You're truly amazing, you know that? Cheren: ...You're just too good. That's honestly what I think. ...Well, I suppose I've got to make your Pokémon better now. [Cheren recovered White's Pokémon!] Cheren: ...Neither Bianca nor I are any match for you now. If we can be any aid in the battle with N... Bianca: White! It's all I can do for you, but... have this, from me! [White obtained a Max Revive!] [White put the Max Revive in the Medicine pocket.] Bianca: Despite everything, it's been delightful! Everybody and everything! Cheren: "Delightful"? At a time like this? You're hopeless... Bianca: Go on, Cheren, laugh it up! 'Course, I know you won't, since you're always all serious and moody-looking! Umm, well... we've met a lot of Pokémon now... We've all walked the same routes, but encountered all different things... everybody's changed a ton. What you wanna do isn't always the same as what you're able to, huh? But still, our journey had meaning, and I'm just glad for that. Cheren: ...Really? ...I feel we've found that everyone has their differences and capabilities, and that's just fine. Cheren: ...Because the ideals and the truths people find are as numerous as the people themselves. But in times of trouble, it's only natural to us to help each other out. Lately I've come to realize not only that people and Pokémon should always be together, but also the reason why... White! If anything happens to you or Alder... I'll do my best to help you... That's the end I've sought to achieve by becoming stronger. So... don't push yourself! (Cheren runs away.) Bianca: And he's off! White! I'll be sure to do what I can too. So... err... It's times like this I really wish I had something cool to say... Um, well! Let's both do our best!! Yeah!! << Victory Road gates >> Wait up! You shall not pass without the proper qualifications! The key to opening this gate is the Trio Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Trio Badge! Take up the challenge at all times! Wait up! The key to opening this gate is the Basic Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Basic Badge! Show off all the wisdom you've gained! Wait up! The key to opening this gate is the Insect Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Insect Badge! Fight fancifully as a bug! Wait up! The key to opening this gate is the Bolt Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Bolt Badge! Make a paralyzing battle unfold! Wait up! The key to opening this gate is the Quake Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Quake Badge! Make the hearts of your opponents shake! Wait up! The key to opening this gate is the Jet Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Jet Badge! Head onward with force! Wait up! The key to opening this gate is the Freeze Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Freeze Badge! Show the sharpness of an icicle! Wait up! The key to opening this gate is the Legend Badge! (The gate opens.) Owner of the Legend Badge! Once you make it through Victory Road ahead, you're heading into the Pokémon League... prepare yourself for it! << Some ways into Victory Road >> Veteran: You can slide down the cliffs here! See? Watch me!! (He does.) Okay, you try! Ace: EEEEK! That's TERRIFYING! I can't do that! << At the Pokémon League >> The Pokémon League is a place for those who purely seek strength to prove their worth! The way they do so is simple! Simply defeat the Elite Four and the Champion! You can begin by challenging any one of the Elite Four. Once all of the Elite Four have been beaten, you can challenge the Champion! However! Once you make your first challenge, you can't leave until you beat them all or lose! Understood? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Then make your arrangements! Go into the entrance there to heal your Pokémon and prepare to the best of your ability! [ Yes ] Then, continue! << Shauntal >> "A dark flame filled the man's eyes... He would refuse all others to fulfill his sole justice." ...A passage from my book. ...I wrote it about one of my previous challengers, but it's rather... sorrowful story. Excuse me... I meant on the challenger's part. Now, let Shauntal, ghost-user of the Elite Four, be your opponent! Elite Four Shauntal challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Just like a good book, the introduction to a battle is key! (After sending out her last Pokémon:) ...And now begins my last chapter. (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) The epilogue of our story draws nearer... (End of battle:) ...Ah, I can't believe you've done this! Incredulity is me! Even with all the words I know, I simply can't express myself. To put it into words would shackle my pure feelings... But allow me to say this... You are great!! I-I-I'm so very sorry! I must first apologize to your Pokémon... It is my fault that I put them through such pain - I am truly apologetic! Oh, please don't think ill of me! That's just how battles go. And that is the foundation to why I'm in the Elite Four! Both people and their Pokémon have Pokémon stories to tell! But stories of people alone... stories of Pokémon alone... They are infinitely less appealing than the stories of people and Pokémon helping each other! << Grimsley >> Whew... What kind of day might today be? Challengers always come one after the next... And accomplish naught. I am Grimsley of the Elite Four. And may you fulfill your purpose as my opponent! Elite Four Grimsley challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Such a move, at such a time...? Oh, I'm simply charmed! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) Now then... However the battle goes, I shall not back down. (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) Even at this rate, I know... there is still a way to win! (End of battle:) Whenever anyone wins, another must lose. That is the essence of a battle. A good battler does not boast of his victory nor fall to distractions, but simply seeks the next victory. I put in all my strength, and this is how chance rolled. A loss is a loss... And so your victory glitters bright. Yes, you are radiant now indeed. Yes, I am an unsightly loser... and nothing more. Now... that strength of yours... You would do well to test it against the others of the Elite Four. << Caitlin >> Who...? Who is this boorish Trainer who would wake me from my slumber? It is you... Hmph... A combination of power and kindness makes one stubborn indeed... But do not show me a bore of a match that only makes me yawn... Elite Four Caitlin challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) This is looking to be a wonderful time... I'm getting a bit excited, actually. (After sending out her last Pokémon:) Even now, I won't be confused, and I won't clamor... (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) I shall not give up, for my Pokémon fight with their belief placed in me. (End of battle:) You're a most elegant and excellent Trainer, you are. Your Pokémon carry such dignity that it was a joy to face them. Be there any of the Elite Four you've yet to challenge? Never you mind me. Continue on your way. ...Whenever I battle, my emotions are rattled. She who ruined all that around her whenever she evoked her power is no more now... And yet, still... My ideal is to wake up to an elegantly-earned victory. You... May you continue to be my companion in battle... or otherwise. << Marshal >> Challenger... My name is Marshal. I studied under Alder to master the art of fighting, and continue to train... And you, too, are a Trainer who has earned my master's recognition! Your strength... What is its extent? You must show me!! Elite Four Marshal challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) ...Such strength! You're making my heart leap! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) Last one! I'll put in all my remaining strength! (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) ...Might this be the end? I'll put my all into the next attack! (End of battle:) There's no ultimate Pokémon. No best combination ever was... That's why continuous victory is so difficult. But a heart that seeks strength wants to know what it is to be the strongest... I feel that is precious. And I respect you, for you possess it. Now... You have become the strongest Trainer in the Pokémon League. Ride on the statue in the central room and go to meet the Champion! The Elite Four of Unova are wholly neutral under the Champion's orders! The rest is up to you! << Alder >> N: ...It's over! You won't wound and bind Pokémon any longer. All thanks to my friend Zekrom! I won't do away with the title of Champion, however... Champion... you're too soft. You lost a Pokémon to illness years ago, a partner. You wandered Unova searching for something to fill that hole... It's been quite some time since you last earnestly fought, hasn't it? That part of you may despise it, but... As one far, far stronger than the Champion, I shall give Unova an order. An order to all Trainers, to release their Pokémon! Alder: Please! Separating Pokémon and people... Anything but that!! N: ...You and I fought, with all our strength, for our own beliefs. And I won. So I'd prefer you don't say another word. ...I've been waiting. Just as I foresaw, you have also obtained one of the stones. That Light Stone... It reacts to Zekrom. ...However! This is not the appropriate place for the dragons of legend! Rise from the earth, Team Plasma's castle! Encompass the Pokémon League! (Intense cutscene in which YES IT DOES.) N: Team Plasma's castle has manifested itself! The king's word... It shall roar down on the commoners from such great height! You must come to the castle as well. There, all shall be decided. Shall Pokémon be made perfect by their separation from mankind?! Or will Pokémon and humans live together as if it were meant to be...? You and I shall see... whose thoughts are more powerful! (N goes up the convenient staircase into the castle and Cheren comes in.) Cheren: Alder, you look beat! ...It's not very Champion-like of you. Alder: ...You made it here too, kiddo? Cheren: ...I managed to win my way through the Pokémon League somehow. It was pretty tough. I guess. Alder: ...You didn't really, did you? Cheren: ...I've become stronger from learning exactly what I need to do. White! You need to talk to N! Tell him that people can become stronger by being with Pokémon... And in helping me along, my Pokémon have become stronger, too. Alder: ...I lost. He speaks of a preposterous dream... I should've shown him the bonds we have with Pokémon until it shut him up... I sorta wonder if his beliefs might not even be genuine? Put your soul into it! The guy's desperate about realizing his dreams of changing the world. So I'm begging you, White!! No good will come from the separation of Pokémon and people... Teach it to him good! << Inside the castle >> Sage: That which obeys the heavens lives. That which defies the heavens perishes. Sage: There is honor in the obsolete. Sage: Know one without knowing two. Sage: To err and not change one's ways: this is what it is to err. Sage: Wise men discern for goodwill. Ignorants discern for benefit. Sage: The heavens have not two suns. A nation has not two kings. Sage: Now... We have a serious affair with our king. A collapsing of Lord Ghetsis's perfect plan, you could say. Lord N is dejected, but we six shall defeat you here! ???: Can ya really do that? (Clay comes in.) Clay: You still ain't worn out, White? Sage: You... The gym leader of Driftveil...?! Clay: Hmph! Ain't just me! (All the other gym leaders come in... uh, except for the first trio, and including both Iris and Drayden.) Lenora: Shucks for you... Not only are we tough, we've got numbers too! Sage: You... gym leaders! Elesa: Team Plasma... As a gym leader, it would be a terrible thing for me to leave you alone! Burgh: Erm, also, Bianca asked us to come. Brycen: ... Skyla: It's all right! Iris: It's all good! Drayden: Possessor of the Light Stone, go on ahead! Lenora: I'm with my Pokémon! Always have been, always will be! Burgh: Your Pokémon strive for you, don't they? Why would anyone want to divide such a pair? Elesa: ...I care little for obstinate types. Clay: Things won't go a lick like yer expectin'! Not one BIT!! Skyla: Now! ACROBATICS!! Brycen: ...! Drayden: Even if can't comprehend what they're thinking... I can't let them simply deny all else! Iris: I AIN'T losin'! Nope, nope, NOPE!! ... ... ... ... ...Come. (One of the Shadow Triad appears.) Even in this castle, you can recover your Pokémon and use a PC... Take relief. ...First, it would be best to rest your Pokémon in that room. Then continue into the deepest part of this castle. That is Lord N's desire for you... I am Anthea, goddess of love... Rest now, Trainer arranged with N... (Da-da-dadaDA.) You are now healthy. You and your Pokémon both... Trainers never fight to wound Pokémon. N knows this deep in his heart, yet... Admitting it would bring much sadness to this castle... I am Concordia, goddess of peace... You who will grant N peace... ...N has been apart from humans since a very young age, raised instead with Pokémon. Pokémon betrayed, oppressed, wounded by evil people... Those are the only Pokémon Ghetsis would allow to approach N. N saw those wounds and came to seek an ideal that considered only Pokémon. N's excessively pure and innocent heart... It too beautifully pristine to be truly frightening, and yet... (Another Shadow Triad member.) Is Lord N the hero of the ideal? In your fight with him, you will know. Does he want to protect this world where you now walk with Pokémon...? That too you shall know. (And the last.) That room is the world Lord N was given... Even if I entered, I would think nothing of it... but perhaps you would feel something. << Entering N's room >> Ghetsis: Welcome, possessor of the Light Stone. This castle, once concealed under the Pokémon League, is a sign that Unova will change. The lord of the castle has tamed the legendary Pokémon and surpassed the Champion... the ultimate Trainer! And furthermore, his heart burns with ideas of what he wishes to do with the world! If you wouldn't call him a hero, then just who would you? Once the stage has been put in order, we will capture people's hearts! A remarkably simple desire of mine... rather, of Team Plasma's! With only us in control of Pokémon, we will rule the powerless. It's been so long! I've lived in hiding so my plan would not be exposed... But those days of suffering are over!! Now, continue! And will you too become a hero...? Well, it couldn't hurt to try! N: What I want is a world of only Pokémon... By separating Pokémon from people, they will regain their natural power. ...Now. This will be our final battle. I am prepared! Even if my Pokémon friends are wounded, my beliefs will prevail! ...Since you have come this far, certainly you must feel something similar? If you do, I ask you to come forth and show it to me! Prepare yourself!! N: You came all this way with the intent to battle me... ...Yet Reshiram is not reacting. Does it still not recognize you as a hero? How disappointing... ...I'd taken quite a liking to you, though. In all our battles, I felt you could be a Trainer who valued their Pokémon! ...But it seems that was nothing more than a baseless assumption! Yes, as much as Trainers fight, they can never build an understanding! You have two options! Fight a hopeless battle...? Or else leave here, and let Pokémon be separated from humans to form a new world? N: Come, Zekrom! (Zekrom bursts in through the wall in an intense cutscene.) [Is the Light Stone... moving inside the bag?!] N: Your Light Stone is...! No... Reshiram is...! (The Light Stone floats out in front of Zekrom.) [The aura-wrapped Light Stone radiated an immense power!] [And now...] [It's releasing...!!] (Reshiram is summoned from the stone in another intense cutscene.) N: Zekrom and Reshiram... Originally one life... one Pokémon. Distinctly opposite, yet exactly the same entity. Zekrom and Reshiram both appeared before ones they recognize as heroes... ...I see. And yes, as is the same with you. Do you hear the Pokémon speaking? Let me tell you what he says. "I want to fight you... Make me your ally!" He wants to test if you have come this far seeking truth... I want to know your power as well... Now! Catch Reshiram... befriend him!! (You're forced to catch Reshiram. If you make him faint, he comes back and "look[s] at White as if saying "Catch me!"" If you run out of Poké Balls, you can warp out and buy some. If you run out of money... maybe N gives you one or something. And he can be easily caught in orange health with a normal Poké Ball. So... yeah. After catching him, if your party is full, it asks you to replace one of your Pokémon with him. ...And it just forces you to after two "no"s.) N: ...I see. It is said that power was lent to the hero who pursued truth. Reshiram has recognized your power and chosen to walk with you, then... N: Now... Your Pokémon are wounded. Winning against such an opponent would be meaningless. [N recovered White's Pokémon!] N: I have seen the future! I WILL win!! Team Plasma Member N challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) ...You think you can stop us with that?! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) My final friend... Lend me your courage! (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) Do you mean the world has not chosen me, but you?! (End of battle:) With this... my ideal... Pokémon's dreams... they have crumbled... N: ... ... ... ... ... ... ...Zekrom and I have been beaten. Your thoughts... your truth... Is that what has bested me...? N: Reshiram and Zekrom... Those two chose heroes upon varying qualities... Is that the case? Two heroes in the same era, one seeking the ideal, one seeking the truth, coexisting... is that correct? ...I don't understand. I would not deny differing ideas. In fact, in accepting differing ideas, the world will experience a chemical reaction. This... is the formula that can change the world... (Ghetsis comes in.) Ghetsis: Even still, are you not of the Harmonia name, the same as I? What a worthless son... Ghetsis: From the very beginning... N's revival of the legendary ideal-seeking Pokémon in our time... It was all for the glory of MY Team Plasma! To manipulate the fearful populace! You did well to come that far. But you wanted to fight a fellow, belief-driven Trainer who could also subdue a legendary Pokémon, to see if you were a true hero... And in the end, you were beaten by a petty commoner for it, you utter fool! It seems being raised with Pokémon only made you a wretched and imperfect human in the end... White! I had not the slightest conception of the legendary Pokémon choosing a Trainer like you... Yet nothing will impede me toward my goal! I will not falter! So that I shall rule the world with an iron fist! So that I can manipulate the hearts of those humans who know but nothing! N has served as the king of Team Plasma. But you know the truth of why that is... And for getting in my way, I will have to eliminate you! (Alder and Cheren come in.) Cheren: ...Rule the world? Wasn't Team Plasma's goal to liberate Pokémon? Ghetsis: That was but a lie told to help in the construction of Team Plasma. What good would come of letting useful things like Pokémon free? But by manipulating Pokémon, the potential of humans grows tremendously. You must acknowledge that! And so! It would be most pleasing for I to be the only one using Pokémon! Alder: ...You dirty, deceiving...! Ghetsis: Regardless. Now then... that which is called a god, but is ultimately only a Pokémon... And White, the one it has recognized! You have much to fear... Now, have at you! I wish to see that glorious flash of despair upon your face! N: White!! Ghetsis: Try what you may! I shall not be stopped! Team Plasma Member Ghetsis challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Ha! I have made ample preparation for THAT! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) ...Grumble... What could this mean?! (End of battle:) My scheme! My perfect scheme to dominate the world!! Ghetsis: ...What is this? I am the creator of Team Plasma, the pinnacle of mankind! Should the world not change to place me in total control?! Alder: So, N... What do you think about separating Pokémon and humans now? Ghetsis: ...Wahaha! I obtained the legendary Pokémon without even having to be the hero... That's all I ever needed you for, N!! Look at yourself! You're a heartless, inhuman monster! Is it even worth talking with such an aberration as you? Cheren: Alder. Listening to this guy's starting to just get annoying. We all know he's the heartless one here! Alder: You said it, kiddo... He's just plain hopeless. N... You must be thinking many things. But you were never really controlled by Ghetsis. You weren't pursuing an ideal, just acting according to your own thoughts! Isn't that why you were able to meet the legendary Pokémon?! N: ...But me, a hero...? I meet no such qualifications! Alder: Is that so? Well, now that you have the legendary Pokémon, what will you do now...? That's what's important! N: Try to understand... We've been arguing over our own beliefs until now. And yet...! Why?! Alder: N... Even if we can't understand each other, there's no reason to reject other ideas! Humans don't quarrel for the sole purpose of determining who is right... Please, think about that. (Alder and Cheren take Ghetsis away. Mother 3 Love Theme plays - I mean, uh...) N: ...There's something I want to talk to you about. When I first met you back in Accumula Town... I heard the voices of your Pokémon, and they shocked me... Why do these Pokémon... Why do they claim to be... fond of you...? They said they wanted to be with you... ...I couldn't comprehend. That there were Pokémon in this world who liked people... I had no knowledge of such Pokémon until that moment... And from then on, as my journey continued, my feelings swayed... Pokémon and people were all selflessly joining their hearts to help each other... So I wanted to fight you, to ascertain my belief... I wanted to face you as a fellow hero. That I desired... I considered only Pokémon... no, only those poor Pokémon I had known, even... I should never have opposed you when you were surrounded by Pokémon who love you... N: ...Well, the Champion has forgiven me, but... My life is now in my own hands... (N lets Zekrom out of his Poké Ball.) White!! [If you answered no to "Do you share my dream?" in Chargestone Cave] You... must have dreams! Believe in them, and walk whatever paths to fulfill them! And someday, surely, your dreams shall be realized!! [If you answered yes] You said you had a dream... That dream... must be realized! Your wonderful dreams, your ideals... have the power to change the world! White! You can do it!! Well, then... Farewell...! (Credits roll with intense music, Zekrom flies through the sky, END.) << Downstairs in White's house >> Mom?: Welcome back, White! All that amazing stuff made for a real rollercoaster ride, didn't it? Mom?: Right, yes... It's just astounding to me that you met TWO legendary Pokémon! Mom?: Oh, and this is... Mom?: Oops! I'm still in my dashing disguise! Apologies abound! Allow me to introduce myself! (The other Mom transforms into Looker and his theme starts playing.) I am a member of the world-patrolling international police! I shall tell you my name... no, my CODEname! Which is, of course, Looker! I AM ever one, which is why all call me such! Looker: An organization in the Unova region known as Team Plasma is lurking behind the scenes... I came speeding here on account of that account, however... Thanks to the admittably admirable work of you and the gym leaders... Team Plasma's castle has crumbled, and its members have flown the coop! Or so I've heard. However, but! Yet, however! The head members known as the Seven Sages still lurk somewhere in Unova. Thereupon! I naturally have a request for such a dashingly talented Trainer as you! I want you to make the rounds around Unova and find the Seven Sages! This plan of action was also recommended by the Champion Alder... [ Yes / No ] [ No ] A-HEM! Allow me to ask that ONCE MORE!! [ Yes ] Looker: Oho! I'm most grateful! Good thing, cause I've got a million friends who agree! Now then, I'll give you this. [White obtained the Super Rod!] [White put the Super Rod in the Key Items pocket.] Mom: ...Ah, that's a Super Rod. Looker: Yes! It is a most super Rod! Mom: ...You were just talking about the Seven Sages of Team Plasma, weren't you? So... does that Rod have anything to do with searching for them? Looker: Ah, I see! A very good question from White's esteemed mother. Allow me to answer it! The answer being: no, there's no connection at all. ("..." "...") Mom: Huh... Looker: Well, I'll quickly explain the Super Rod. Firstly, use the Super Rod while facing the water! Nextly, concentrate intensely! When you've caught a Pokémon, a great "!" will appear, and that will be your time to swiftly pull back the Rod! So, White! I ask you kindly! Mom: He's certainly... unique. For an international policeman, I mean. Well, don't worry. As long as you want to do it, I think it's fine! Your mother agrees. I can't believe you've matured so much already, can you?! << Outside White's house >> Cheren: Hey, White. You finished talking with Looker? Bianca: ...Sorry, from both of us. We called the gym leaders of Striaton City to come too, but they were all late... Cheren: ...I have to apologize myself, though. The Shadow Triad found an opportunity to help Ghetsis get away... Bianca: ...Ghetsis? Shadow Triad? Cheren: ...I'll tell you what went on in the castle later, okay? Anyway, forget that, Bianca. What are you two going to do now? Bianca: I'm, um, I'm... gonna go to Black City! Cheren: Ah. That's past Route 16 from Nimbasa City, right? I see... You just might find some Pokémon you've never seen before over there! (Juniper's dad walks in, probably coming from the lab.) Juniper's Dad: Oh! Now this is nice timing! You're all together and everything! I just got the data for the National Dex from an acquaintance! Since I'm already here, let me upgrade your Pokédexes to the National Dex! I mean, you're just going to keep going places, aren't you? So you're bound to find more and more Pokémon too! Obviously! Let me have your Pokédexes for a second! Right, Bianca! And next, Cheren! And lastly... you! [White's Pokédex was upgraded to the National Dex!] Juniper's Dad: And with that, all your Pokédexes are updated to the National Dex. Completing the National Dex maaay be a bit extreme of a task, but... Well, keep at it, and keep enjoying the thrill of finding Pokémon! (Juniper's Dad goes back to the lab.) Bianca: Whoaaa, a National Dex... There's still a LOT of Pokémon I don't know about yet, huh? Oh yeah! I'll have to show my Pokédex to mom and dad! That said, I still hope I meet you two again somewhere!! (Bianca goes back home.) Cheren: Even after her long journey, Bianca's still going at her own pace like always... I'm planning on looking through everything again starting from Route 1. I'm sure there are new discoveries to be made everywhere. And you never know, I could find some of the Seven Sages along the way. That said, White, if we meet again somewhere, you know we'll be battling! << At the end of Route 18 >> Rood: It smells of salt here... The same salty smell of my homeland... ...Lord Ghetsis wandered the world in a search to gather all kinds of wisdom. From the moment we met, he understood my needs. He knew his companions' hearts and desires. It is a necessary quality to live alongside someone else... Lord N was superb as well for his ability to understand the hearts of Pokémon. However, he was not raised with and still seems to lack the ability to understand people as well... But that too was a part of Lord Ghetsis's perfect plan... I'm not sure now which qualities of Lord Ghetsis were true and which were lies... ...Lord Ghetsis gave this to me, but I don't need it anymore. You'll make better use of it. [White obtained TM32 "Double Team"!] [White put TM32 in the TMs pocket.] Rood: ...If someday, Lord N comes to understand not merely the feelings of Pokémon, but of humans as well... I hope that we can come together again... And I strongly desire that we can someday meet eye to eye with Lord Ghetsis. (Looker comes running up with his theme.) Looker: Alright, then... I'm an international policeman, so tell me what you know about Team Plasma! Rood: ...If that's what you seek. Looker: Thanks! Besides Ghetsis, I guess this leaves five of the Seven Sages remaining... I want to know what they were thinking and hoping for... Well, see you again! << On Route 14, after some Surfing and Waterfalling >> Giallo: You're the powerful Pokémon Trainer who came to Dragonspiral Tower! Did you become friends with Zekrom? In this world, as long as you understand yourself... You can make the heavens, the ends of the earth, the furthest things seem to be right beside you... That's what they say. Like Lord N and his Pokémon, you and your Pokémon have a mutual understanding. Thus, take this. [White obtained TM08 "Bulk Up"!] [White put TM08 in the TMs pocket.] Giallo: ...The legend of Unova is that of a new world's creation through the combined forces of man and Pokémon! That simple fact carries a reassuring message. If those that change the world are heroes, then anyone can be a hero. Through everyone's respective changes, the whole world can gradually change. (Looker comes running up with his theme.) Looker: Alright, then... I'm an international policeman, so tell me what you know about Team Plasma! Giallo: Well, I don't mind. Team Plasma changed me, but the world refused to change... I'm expectant of what you all will do with it. Looker: Thanks! Besides Ghetsis, I guess this leaves four of the Seven Sages remaining... I want to know what they were thinking and hoping for... Well, see you again! << In Chargestone Cave >> Bronius: When I saw you back in Castelia City, I thought nothing of you, but... You were tested here in Chargestone Cave by Lord Ghetsis... ...Well, you seem in search of something once more. Now, show yourselves! (Two Plasma grunts run up.) Grunt: Lord Bronius! I'll take this punk down! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) The strength that brought down Lord N... I feel it in my bones! Ow! Grunt: This one's the real deal! Grunt: So it's your fault we're now the "former" Team Plasma? Who wants to be a "former" anything? How COULD you? Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) So this is the Trainer who protected our world of coexisting with Pokémon... Grunt: ...In that moment, the former members of Team Plasma became just plain Pokémon Trainers. Bronius: Even Team Plasma's Pokémon were fighting for the Trainers. We were overlooking something so common... I'm grateful you showed us that. Take this. [White obtained TM69 "Rock Polish"!] [White put TM69 in the TMs pocket.] Bronius: ...I wonder if Lord N now understands why Pokémon, even when wounded, wield their power for the sake of Trainers...? (Looker comes running up with his theme.) Looker: Alright, then... I'm an international policeman, so tell me what you know about Team Plasma! Bronius: ...Forgive these two, for they have left Team Plasma to treat Pokémon well. However! Those that will not face up to Pokémon justly, I will not have stand. Looker: Thanks! Besides Ghetsis, I guess this leaves three of the Seven Sages remaining... I want to know what they were thinking and hoping for... Well, see you again! << Re-entering the Relic Castle >> Juniper: Hiiii there! White! I heard about these Pokémon statues and came to investigate! By the way, these statues are actually Pokémon called Darmanitan. They're currently asleep and all hardened up. As for how long they've existed, well, a rough estimate... Like, wow! Over 2500 years ago! That seems to be when they fell asleep, at least. It's around the same era in which this ruin, the Relic Castle, was prosperous. Could it possibly be they were guarding the town? These Pokémon... They're in a state of contemplative sleep, so if they wake up, they'll be active once more. And to wake up the Darmanitan... you need this! A Rage Candy Bar!! That said, White, I'll give one to you! [White obtained a RageCandyBar!] [White put the RageCandyBar into the Medicine pocket.] Well, I'll be heading back to the Pokémon lab. Buh-byyye!! << In the Relic Castle >> Grunt: !! Grunt: Dangit! Team Plasma Grunt challenged you to a battle! (End of battle:) PLASMAAAAA! I fell in the Relic Castle... Grunt: The Sage Ryoku is looking for a Pokémon here in the Relic Castle. I was keeping watch to make sure nobody got in the way, but... I'm so weak, and stupid, stupid, STUPID! And one more stupid, for good measure! And just to be cute, I'm a silly stoopidhead! Ryoku: ...Once I catch the Pokémon Ulgamoth in this castle, I'll present it to Lord Ghetsis. Or so I planned, but isn't even the Shadow Triad saying that Lord Ghetsis has hidden away somewhere...? The Seven Sages... And when all seven are gathered, they are perfect... I don't know what those words really mean anymore. I can understand their use, but I can no longer see the dream... I don't need this anymore. Lord Ghetsis gave it to me, but I have no intentions for it. [White obtained TM04 "Calm Mind"!] [White put TM04 in the TMs pocket.] Ryoku: Both this Relic Castle and our castle have crumbled... The only difference is that the Relic Castle is the remains of a civilization... Nothing of our castle was left behind... (Looker comes running up with his theme.) Looker: Alright, then... I'm an international policeman, so tell me what you know about Team Plasma! Ryoku: ...Understood. But we know little about Lord Ghetsis and Lord N both. We don't even have a certainty that they are truly parent and child... Looker: Thanks! Besides Ghetsis, I guess this leaves two of the Seven Sages remaining... I want to know what they were thinking and hoping for... Well, see you again! << After going through the Dreamyard basement >> Gorm: Sha-WOW! Did I scare you?! Skilled Pokémon Trainer, destroyer of our castle! I do believe you were scared! Whenever Pokémon or people are scared, a little crack forms in their hearts. When that happens, they can't even show their most basic power. We revealed the castle, found the legendary Pokémon, brought fear to all people... Deep, deep in the cracks of their hearts, people felt Team Plasma's excellence, and the wonder of that coming new world. But seeing you and the gym leaders' strong wills, I wonder how much virtue there ever was to that plan...? ...Will that strength of heart be necessary to lead Pokémon to the next stage...? Hrm... sorry for making you listen to my rambling. You should take this. [White obtained TM75 "Swords Dance"!] [White put TM75 in the TMs pocket.] Gorm: Lord N's dream... you were the one who could put a stop to it. Please, don't ever forget that. (Looker comes running out of the basement with his theme.) Looker: Alright, then... I'm an international policeman, so tell me what you know about Team Plasma! Gorm: ...The Dream Mist that comes from the Musharna here... The dreams it shows are mere illusions. But that which comes true is a real dream... Looker: Thanks! Besides Ghetsis, I guess this leaves one of the Seven Sages remaining... I want to know what they were thinking and hoping for... Well, see you again! << In the Driftveil freezer >> Zinzolin: ...You came back here? What a curious Trainer. Depending on exactly how curious, perhaps I should talk to you a little? ...I breathe, and my heart beats. ...Is that really all there is to life? I do not feel those actions alone to be living. Feeling that you are alive through both joyous times and painful times is valuable. Lord Ghetsis gave me that perspective on living... What did I want? Such things did not matter. I've been living here and shivering away... ...Pokémon and humans both living close and depending on each other... perhaps that's what I feel living is. Then is releasing Pokémon not so necessary after all...? In telling you these things, I've realized new questions I should consider... As something of a thank you, take this. [White obtained TM01 "Claw Sharpen"!] [White put TM01 in the TMs pocket.] Zinzolin: Lord N said... that he wanted Pokémon to be made perfect. But even relating with humans as they now do, perhaps Pokémon strive to be perfect regardless... (Looker comes running up with his theme.) Looker: Alright, then... I'm an international policeman, so tell me what you know about Team Plasma! Zinzolin: It's too cold here... I think I've shivered enough. If you give me some time to think, I'll try to tell you something helpful. Okay, let's go. Looker: Thanks! Okay, White... There's something I need to tell you. I've heard intel that, somewhere really far away from here, there's been sighting of an N-ish person with a dragon Pokémon. I'm going to go and see if it's really true! Well, see you again someday! << On Marvelous Bridge, east of Nimbasa >> (The Shadow Triad materializes.) ... ... ... ... ...You? Triad Member: Lord Ghetsis is gone. ...After escaping from the castle, he went somewhere on his own. Triad Member: We vowed to protect Lord Ghetsis's life. And now we have been ordered to never search for him... Triad Member: Also, Lord Ghetsis said to give this to you... [White obtained the Adamant Orb!] [White put the Adamant Orb into the Items pocket.] Triad Member: Take this from me... [White obtained the Lustrous Orb!] [White put the Lustrous Orb into the Items pocket.] Triad Member: And this too... [White obtained the Griseous Orb!] [White put the Griseous Orb into the Items pocket.] Triad Member: ...Where did Lord Ghetsis obtain these items? What was he planning? Why give them to you? We have been yet unable to ascertain these things. ...Is he testing you? ...Is he using you? Triad Member: We, the Shadow Triad, have been, are, and will always be Lord Ghetsis's devoted. And Lord Ghetsis's ambitions can never be stopped! Triad Member: ...We will not meet you again. So long! << In a lab on Route 15 >> Oh, good day! If you've come here, that makes you a visitor, doesn't it? Oh, you're not? Well, you have come quite a ways... Ooh, really? A Trainer, are you? On a daring adventure? Hm, and this is your Trainer Card? Wh-wa-wait a second, you! You have ALL the gym badges?! That's nuts! Then maybe you could... PROFESSOR PAAAAARK! Hurry, hurry! (She runs ahead and White follows. At a walking pace.) Here we are! Professor! You got a minute? Good! Now listen! This kid's a Trainer who got all the gym badges! I'm positive they could use the thing! Park: Haven't I said it a million times? This invention is pretty great and all, if I do say so myself, but without a professional Trainer... (He turns around and runs up to White.) ALL THE GYM BADGES?! FANTASTIQUE! FANTASTICO! WHOO-HOOOOOOOOOO! (He spins around really fast and hops.) What a beautiful day! Such greatness! I can't believe it! Well, I am Professor Andrew Park! You! Err... Scientist: It's White! Park: White! Would you participate in an experiment that will change history?! This device is called the PokéShifter! By evoking energy particles, one can... Through a "DS"... The molecules... Using a double-junction... Pokémon from far away... Gigawatts of freak energy... Match up... In twelve parsecs... Alpha drive... With a Pokémon... Fantastically-executed... Scientist: ...In short. Using this device, you can send over Pokémon from other regions... possibly. However, you can't send held items along with the Pokémon! Sending them over empty-handed is the best way to ensure their safe transmission. Park: ...That said, YOOOOOU! You FANTASTIQUE Pokémon Trainer, you! Won't you assist in the experiment of the century?! The PokéShifter requires two DSes! There'll have to be another DS ready to experiment. Is that alright? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] If you ever want to do it, come again! << In Mistralton Cave >> I see you're quite skillful for your age... Perhaps you could... hrm... It's a possibility, I suppose... Well? Will you lend your ears to this old man's ancient story? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] If you can't obediently listen to the elderly, I have no hope for you... This is not a place you belong! Take your leave! [ Yes ] It was long ago, when people and Pokémon lived in their own separate worlds... Through a war humans started, a forest in which Pokémon lived was engulfed in flames. The Pokémon could not escape through the fire and smoke... There then appeared the legendary Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion! Terrakion used its characteristic strength to destroy the boulders blocking escape. Virizion made use of its swiftness to protect Pokémon from the sparks. And Cobalion guided the frightened Pokémon out of the forest. Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion fought away the warring parties with overwhelming strength. The parties, frightful of the power the three showed, at last put an end to their war... If people do not cease fighting, Pokémon can have no peace. The trio knew that people's deeds could cause the loss of many lives... To avoid contact with people, they went away to places unknown... Since then, the three have almost never been seen, and they thus turned to legend... I have been searching for them for countless years on end... And at last, I have ascertained there to be one deep in this cave. But the legendary trio has no trust in humans. If a person draws near, they will bare their fangs and attack. They only know the world as it was so long ago, so it cannot be helped... They remain ignorant of the fact that our world has become one of people and Pokémon understanding and helping each other. Perhaps if you could make them realize that people and Pokémon can live together in trust... Even they could choose to live with people if given a reason to reconsider them... GWHOOOOOHHH! (Catch Cobalion.) Through you, Cobalion seems to have realized that the world has changed into one where people and Pokémon live helping each other... Cobalion seems to desire to live together with you. If Cobalion's heart was softened through fighting you, Terrakion and Virizion, whom he shares a strong bond with, should also know soon. I think they, too, will want to evaluate your heart. The obstacles keeping people away from Terrakion and Virizion should be gone now. Finding them, however, is up to you... But they are undoubtedly awaiting you... << Inside a house in Undella Town >> ???: Oh...? How... familiar... I never expected to meet a Pokémon Trainer with the same eyes as that one, and especially not in a place like this... What's your name...? ... ... ... ... ... ... White, then. I'll be sure to remember it! I am Cynthia. I'm just a curious Pokémon Trainer investigating the myths of Pokémon. There are underwater ruins here in Undella Town, you know. As such, I borrowed a villa from an acquaintance of mine. Now, in order to make a deep acquaintance with a fellow Pokémon Trainer... I would like us to have a bout with our Pokémon... Would you be my opponent? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Ohoho. A... most composed decision. When you are prepared, I would be delighted if you return and say so! Cynthia: Oh? So you've made your preparations. I would like us to have a bout with our Pokémon... Would you be my opponent? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Before I send out my Pokémon, my chest always throbs... It is filled with the joyous feelings of the Pokémon inside their Poké Balls. So, what manner of Trainer are you? Pokémon Trainer Cynthia challenged you to a battle! (After sending out her last Pokémon:) Just how long has it been since I've been cornered as such?! (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) Oh, it's not over yet! Such an enjoyable battle can't be ended so simply! (End of battle:) My heart is racing after having experienced such a tempestuous match...! You truly are an amazing Trainer!! Cynthia: How admirable! That was a magnificent battle. ...Yes, familiar indeed. Like that Trainer that faced down Giratina... Hm. I won't bore you with my own story. I also have much to investigate in Sinnoh come spring and summer... I would be overjoyed if you would come see me again, most wonderful of Pokémon Trainers! (In the spring, Shauntal and Caitlin can visit Cynthia's villa.) Cynthia: ...Pokémon and people can have their lives brightened when they challenge a powerful opponent with utter devotion. So, I, too would like to battle with you. Do you accept? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Cynthia: ...I'm a bit let down. After all, my battling with you was of the highest caliber! Both our lives should be ever brightened as such... Cynthia: How about it? I would like you battle you with all my might, so that it may brighten up my life. Do you accept? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Cynthia: Via each of our beloved Pokémon, I shall know more about you! (The battle goes the same as the first.) Cynthia: When you oppose a Trainer, battle allows you to understand what manner of person they are. What Pokémon do they use, and what moves do they know? What items do they possess? Words are meaningless then... So! If you wish to know more about me, I implore you to come to the Sinnoh region! Shauntal: ...My muffler can give people the impression of looking like a Pokémon. Understand? Imagination is the key, isn't it? Shauntal: The Rainbow Wing... The Silver Wing... They stir up my imagination! Shauntal: When writing a story... there must be many inputs, or there can be no output. Trainers work the same way. They must battle much, study a variety of things, and test things out to become stronger. Shauntal: ...No matter how much data I collect, I haven't a clue. How old is Cynthia, I wonder? What do you think? Shauntal: ...That Pokémon in the Distortion World is such a fantastic spectacle! Caitlin: ...This is a villa of mine. I have them all over the world, so I allow Cynthia to use this one. You're free to play here if you wish, as well. Caitlin: ...Are you familiar with the Battle Castles? One exists in Johto and Sinnoh, so if you like, go and challenge them. Caitlin: ...No matter what, I can't defeat Cynthia. Perhaps in the past, I would have exploded with rage. But now, I calmly review the battle, and consider how I can become stronger. Caitlin: Things always turning out the way you like is a precedent to unhappiness. There are things I can and cannot do. Recognizing that is key. There was an annoying person who said that long ago... Caitlin: ...If one's psychic ability were truly uncontrollable, one would be better off without it. (In the summer, Lenora, Elesa, Skyla, and Iris can visit Cynthia's villa.) Cynthia: I have a problem. A white swimsuit or a black swimsuit... which one better suits me, I wonder? Cynthia: What is necessary to become stronger from here on? Might it be an ever-continued coexistence with Pokémon? That is the way I have always been, so I can state it to be nothing else... Cynthia: I'd like to live here, but if I did, my research workpile would stack as high as a mountain... That's right! Cynthia! This time, you shall settle things for good! Cynthia: Once every couple years, the Champions of the various regions should get together and decide who is the strongest of all! Don't you think such a gathering would be amusing? Cynthia: ...Hm. It's difficult... I have so many swimsuits I want to wear, it's impossible to choose one... Lenora: Cynthia's a famous archaeologist, so, y'know! We fellow researchers like to talk amongst each other, all academic-like! Lenora: When I was little... My pops dug for rocks in the mountains, and always used to bring back bones. My childish fascination for the things is what made me become a researcher! Lenora: Aren't fossils just amazing? Being dead, they shouldn't be able to say a thing, yet they tell us all about the age they lived in. Hahaha... that's a line from Juniper's lil' girl, though, 'course! Lenora: That Bianca girl came to ask me about Pokémon the other day. When you want to know more about stuff you like, you never wear out! Lenora: You can use TMs indefinitely, y'know? If you teach Retaliation to a bunch of Pokémon, someday you should find just the right Pokémon for it! Elesa: ...Nimbasa City actually runs on energy provided by electric-type Pokémon. ...Not really. Elesa: Without speaking... Without comprehensible language... Pokémon can convey my feelings to Trainers in place of me. Elesa: When you get right down to it, isn't a swimsuit just a piece of cloth? Elesa: ...Showing off a Pokémon's charm often takes away the charm. It's difficult. Elesa: Constant worry is bad for both the body and mind. At times like that, you have to short-circuit your thoughts to restore your proper mood. Skyla: Shooting through rainclouds in the midst of stormy weather is quite the spectacle... I'd like to show it to you someday! Skyla: Whew... Swimming in the sea feels great! Skyla: ...I was thinking just now. Are swimsuits meant to be revealing? Or else, to be concealing? Skyla: People can fly to even far-off Sinnoh with a cargo plane! I personally love the feeling of having a Pokémon use Fly, though... Skyla: I'm good friends with Elesa and all, but... Pokémon battles are kinda different! It's absolutely crucial I make plans to counter electric-types! Iris: Hey, hey! Have you seen Cynthia's Garchomp? It's SUPER CUUUUUTE!! Iris: We're on a BEACH!! Iris: The ocean is pretty, so I always like to dive real deep... but everybody always worries about me! Iris: Sometimes I remember the village I was born in... but I don't care a bit! 'Cause leaving has let me meet all these people and Pokémon and everybody! Iris: I'm gonna go on a cruise with uncle Drayden soon! Castelia City's packed with people, but I'll be with gramps, so Iris'll be a-okay! << Shauntal rematch >> "What day is today? I don't know, but I won't forget it for a lifetime." I was just reading from a story I wrote. It's a tale I adore: a tale of a Trainer who came to challenge me, and the Pokémon they shared their heart with! That said, please allow me to witness more about you! Elite Four Shauntal challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) The opening is key. In battles, and in stories. (After sending out her last Pokémon:) ...And now begins my last chapter. (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) The epilogue of our story draws nearer... (End of battle:) ...Ah, I can't believe you've done this again! Incredulity is me! Even with all the words I know, I still simply can't express myself. To put it into words would further shackle my pure feelings... But allow me to say this... You are even more great!! I-I-I'm so very sorry! I must first apologize to your Pokémon... It is my fault that I put them through such pain - I am truly apologetic! Oh, please don't think ill of me! That's just how battles go. And that is the foundation to why I'm in the Elite Four! << Grimsley rematch >> Life is a battle that must be fought with the cards we are given. Rather than raising complaint at being given useless cards, it's key to discover how to use them. Now, let us begin... The winner will take everything, and the loser will be left with nothing. Such battles are a proof of existence... Elite Four Grimsley challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) That move, and now...? You're as charming as ever! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) Now then... However the battle goes, I shall not back down. (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) Even at this rate, I know... there is still a way to win! (End of battle:) Whenever anyone wins, another must lose. That is the essence of a battle. A good battler does not boast of his victory nor fall to distractions, but simply seeks the next victory. Well, in our world, a bad way of winning... is a good way of losing. Such a simple dichotomy, yet amusingly melancholy. A flipped coin has no reason to land on either head or tails. Sometimes, it may just not fall at all. << Caitlin rematch >> Who...? Who is this boorish Trainer who would wake me from my slumber? ...Hm. It's you again... As ever, a combination of power and kindness seems to have made you even stronger... But do not show me a bore of a match that only makes me yawn... Elite Four Caitlin challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Here begins another wonderful diversion. This is my favorite part of all... (After sending out her last Pokémon:) At any time, I won't be confused, and I won't clamor... (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) For my Pokémon who fight with their belief placed in me, I shall not give up! (End of battle:) So far... No, so far and beyond, you'll prove to be a most elegant and excellent Trainer, you will. Your Pokémon carry such dignity that it was a joy to face them. I have a fondness for telling my family information about Trainers, but even so, I can't win... I came here to catch a glimpse of Trainers like you... ...An inexperienced soul runs wild with its power. There were some days on which I was prohibited from battling... That same soul that yearned for battle dances at times like now... Ohoho... You've got me smiling. This is a tad embarrassing. << Marshal rematch >> ...I'm grateful from deep down that we could trade blows like this once again. I am Marshal, seeker of fighting strength. You shall be the weak one to be wrecked. I shall fight with my strongest convictions. And my desire is for an overwhelming victory! Hardened challenger! Come at me! Elite Four Marshal challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) ...Strong as ever! You're making my heart leap! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) Last one! I'll shout out all my remaining strength! (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) ...Might this be the end? I'll put my all into the next attack! (End of battle:) There's no ultimate Pokémon. No best combination ever was... That's why continuous victory is so difficult. But a heart that seeks strength wants to know what it is to be the strongest... I feel that is precious. And I respect you, for you possess it. Your strength is etched into my heart... Head into the next room, and there, fight to become the strongest Trainer in the Unova region...!! << Alder >> Alder: ...I have to thank you for dealing with N. ...I don't know what he's off thinking about now, but... I'm sure he's realized that all people and Pokémon have different paths of their own. Now, as the strongest Trainer in the Unova region, shall I witness your spirit?! Champion Alder challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) If you choose moves after thinking things over thoroughly, that'll do you good! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) WHOOOA!!! Still fighting strong... What a splendid one you are! (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) You think you're having it your way, eh?! Nonsense! I'll knock you back over!! (End of battle:) At the end of the battle, a refreshing breeze blows in my heart... Head on beyond our battle... onward, to the next step!! Alder: Bravo! You're truly unrivaled now! Now, come this way! Alder: ...This is the Hall of Fame. A place where Trainers and Pokémon with true strength of heart and kindness are written into history. Now, White. Your names will be etched into this Hall of Fame! And along with your names, the memories of your journey, and the history of your battles! Everything that supports you in becoming even stronger than you are now! Now, you... And the Pokémon partners you battled alongside... will be recorded in this machine! (CONGRATULATIONS, AWESOME CREDITS MUSIC AGAIN, THE END) << Oh right, but on Route 5 >> Cheren: ...Strength was the sole value of my existence. When I met Alder here, of that I was convinced. ...But winning in Pokémon battles isn't everything. Ever since I've been shown that, I've seen so much more. In a way, everyone is strong... People and Pokémon possess their own unique strengths. Strength to make dreams come true, strength to protect things... I've come to think that because of you, White. Thanks to you and Bianca... and Alder, and all the rest. ...It would have been nice if N could have seen the same thing. I'm going to take a look at myself on Victory Road. What can I accomplish, and what should I become...? If you want, you can come too. I'd like to have Pokémon battles with you. << At the top of Victory Road >> Cheren: ...White. It's difficult... confronting myself. I keep noticing parts of myself I dislike, or even hate. ???: That's right. And no one can ever run from their true self. (Marshal comes in.) Cheren: ...Marshal? Marshal: My master told me about this, so I came to see. Do you understand? Even if you lose in battle... As long as you surpass your past self, you've still achieved a victory over yourself. So for that purpose, through battle, we see opponents! We see Pokémon! And we see ourselves! Cheren: ...I suppose that's a line you're passing down from Alder? Marshal: ...Well, yeah. What I want is to fight a Trainer who sees themselves that way... In associating with such a Trainer, I know I and my Pokémon would get even stronger... Well, I'll be awaiting your challenges at the Pokémon League! Cheren: ...Well then. Okay, White! Show me a Pokémon battle! Pokémon Trainer Cheren challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) Confronting myself reveals all my strengths and weaknesses! (After sending out his last Pokémon:) It's not the end yet. I still have a Pokémon with me! (When his last Pokémon is below half health:) I believe in the strength of my Pokémon, so I won't ever be led astray. (End of battle:) Thank you...!! I now see what I lack! Cheren: ...Fighting with so many Trainers and Pokémon... Once you establish what you are, a straightforward road materializes. And that road exists so that I can be myself. You and I both have Pokémon who are there for us. And our precious Pokémon walk these roads alongside us... << AND THE TRUE CHAMPION... >> Bianca: I'm working as Professor Juniper's assistant! It just occurred to me when I was looking through my Pokédex... All the Pokémon I met on my journey... I want to know more and more about the little guys! Oh yeah! Do you know, White? About Pokémon swarms? [ Yes / No ] [ Yes ] Bianca: Well, that's our White! A swarm is when tons of Pokémon roam in the grass. Look at the electronic tickers inside the route gates, and you can tell where in Unova there are swarms taking place! [ No ] Bianca: Ohoho... Well, I'll tell you, then! First of all, a swarm is when tons of Pokémon roam in the grass. As for how you can tell there's a swarm going on, look at the electronic tickers inside the route gates! Kinda rules, doesn't it? Pokémon research takes a lot of studying, but I went out journeying and found this was what I wanted to do, so I don't care! It's fun! But hey, White, you should have Pokémon battles with me from time to time, too! I mean, that way I can know even more about Pokémon! (And on a Saturday evening after her making this request...) Bianca: Oh, White! You wanna have a Pokémon battle with me today? [ Yes / No ] [ No ] Bianca: HUHHHHH?! Hold on a... oooh, man, talk about a letdown... [ Yes ] Bianca: Alright! White! We're battling indoors, so don't you get too excited! Pokémon Trainer Bianca challenged you to a battle! (After one hit:) So I see... You chose THAT move?! (After sending out her last Pokémon:) I-I'm still doing alright! I'm just FINE, darnit! (When her last Pokémon is below half health:) Awww... Just what am I supposed to do at a time like this...? (End of battle:) Thanks for being my opponent! Yeah! It worked out as a study session! Bianca: Whewww! Man, White, you are just SUCH a super strong Trainer, you know?! I love the Pokémon battles you fight, White! I mean, even your Pokémon look really happy! < Conversion to White > - Replace the legendary N summons with Reshiram and the one you have to summon with Zekrom. - Of course, the Dark Stone and the Light Stone are also switched. The "plain old stone" is described the same way regardless. - Any line that mentions both legendaries at once always puts the one you have to summon first. No, really. - Replace almost every lone instance of "(the) ideal(s)" with "(the) truth" and vice versa. - Drayden tells Iris to go to the gym after they tell you the legend, and you fight her instead. She's, well, usual Iris. - Bianca says she's going to White Forest instead of Black City. (In reality, though, she just hangs around the lab.) << SOME OF MY OWN SHOTS AT ENGLISH PERSON/PLACE NAMES WHICH YOU CAN IGNORE >> (Names in parentheses I'd probably just leave be, were it up to me.
