Pokemon Black game script - Part 9
LJ being down gave me plenty of time to churn this out.
--- Icirrus City
Cedric
Hello, Black! How is Axew? [the first Pokémon in Black's party]
I can tell you're paying a lot of attention to training Axew.
Careful not to be too strict!
The Pokédex is important, but time spent having fun together is also important.
Say, I just had a thought -- have you heard of Dragonspiral Tower?
Cedric [if you say yes]
Really? Quite impressive.
Cedric [if you say no]
Eh... I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it.
Cedric
OK. Give this story a listen.
Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the Unova region's oldest building.
Stories say it's the place where legendary Pokémon come to life or where they remain in deep slumber.
I know it's just past Icirrus City, but that's all I know about it.
That's all anyone knows, because no one has ever been inside.
My daughter has wanted to investigate that tower for a long time.
"What! There's something I don't know?!"
That kind of feeling is pure adventure.
And I'm not too old for some adventuring.
Away I go to have a look at Dragonspiral Tower!
Catch you later!
[Cedric departs.]
--- Icirrus Gym
Clyde
Please take this Fresh Water!
Black obtained a Fresh Water!
Black put the Fresh Water in the MEDICINE Case.
Clyde
Ice can be melted with Fire or shattered with Fighting.
Or you might want to smash it into dust with Rock or Steel.
Grant
Well, well, if you are feeling dizzy because of the Gym machines, I will stand in your path!
--- VS Black Belt Grant
Team: Cubchoo, Cryogonal, Cubchoo
Grant [upon losing]
Oh, dear me!
Grant
Being fired into the air by cannons and spinning on the ice many times...
It's difficult to get Badges.
Miriam
Let me battle with you!
--- VS Battle Girl Miriam
Team: Cryogonal
Miriam [upon losing]
Wow...
You are my strongest challenger so far.
Miriam
Engage the switches and start from the defined position.
If you try all the combinations, someday you'll find the right one!
Kendrew
I always calm myself and choose the critical moment in a battle.
--- VS Black Belt Kendrew
Team: Cubchoo
Kendrew [upon losing]
Mmmm? What?
Really?! No way!
Kendrew
Being calm and having no emotion are different.
Brycen rejoices quietly, and he grows quietly in rage...
Mikiko
The problem is never whether you can battle or not.
It's whether you will battle or not.
--- VS Battle Girl Mikiko
Team: Cubchoo, Vanillish
Mikiko [upon losing]
If you don't fight, you won't lose, but you won't grow stronger, either.
Mikiko
When you're not sure if you'll succeed, build momentum and take a leap!
It's fine! Because your Pokémon are always with you!
Chandra
The slippery frozen floor is perfect for improving your sense of balance!
--- VS Battle Girl Chandra
Team: Vanillish, Vanillish
Chandra [upon losing]
I slipped and lost!
Chandra
Brycen slides on the frozen floor all the time, so it's worn down, and it looks like you can see the path... but maybe I'm imagining it.
Thomas
I am the King of Karate!!
I've taught my Pokémon moves that they'll use in battle with you!
--- VS Black Belt Thomas
Team: Vanillish, Cubchoo
Thomas [upon losing]
I am the King of Karate!!
I am skillful, but I lose quite often...
Thomas
I am from a fighting dojo in Kanto!!
This is my global debut, so to speak!
Brycen
You appear ready to face a Gym Leader.
Then...
Bring it!
--- VS Brycen
Team: Vanillish, Beartic, Cryogonal
Brycen [upon first attack]
You are strong!
No, both you and your Pokémon are strong!
Brycen [sending out final Pokémon]
Extreme conditions really test you and train you!
Brycen [upon losing]
The wonderful combination of you and your Pokémon!
What a beautiful friendship!
Brycen
In honor of your stout heart, I will give you this.
Black received the Freeze Badge from Brycen!
Brycen
You have seven Badges.
That means Pokémon up to Lv. 80 will obey you.
This TM will convey my regard for your accomplishments.
Black obtained a TM79 Frost Breath!
Black put the TM79 in the TMs & HMs Case.
Brycen
A move that always results in a critical hit: Frost Breath.
Brycen
No matter how many battles I fight, I don't know what strength is.
Perhaps you can find the answer.
Clyde
From Brycen, I've learned how to say more with fewer words.
--- Icirrus City
[Cheren and Bianca are waiting for Black outside the Gym.]
Cheren
Black, I've been talking with Bianca and I'm wondering...
Since we left Nuvema Town, has something about me... changed?
Thinking about what I want to do... Thinking about what I should do...
It felt like there was nothing...
Have I really become stronger? Or is it just my Pokémon that have?
I don't know anymore!
Bianca
Hey, hey. Cheer up, Cheren... Isn't it nice to see everyone?!
Black! Know what? This time, I'll go to the Pokémon Fan Club.
I'm really searching... for what I want to do and what I can do!
[Brycen exits the Gym.]
Brycen
Who are you?
Bianca
Who? Us?
I'm Bianca, and this is Cheren...
Brycen
I know you are there! Why don't you show yourselves?
[The Shadow Triad appear.]
Shadow Triad
...
Impressive, Gym Leader of Icirrus City.
We, the Shadow Triad, are beings of the shadows... and not easily noticed.
Shadow Triad
Our mission was to speak only with Black, but so be it.
Ghetsis has a message for you: come to Dragonspiral Tower.
Shadow Triad
It is there that our lord N waits for you.
...Now, our mission is complete.
Brycen
Dragonspiral Tower?! What's going on?
Hey! Tell me...
[The Shadow Triad vanishes.]
Brycen
Now, hang on.
Young man, if you're here for a Gym challenge, hang on for a bit.
I've got to head to Dragonspiral Tower!
Cheren
I'm going, too.
Dragonspiral Tower is to the north of here, right?
[Brycen and Cheren leave town to the north.]
Bianca
Whoooooa! Whoa. Wh-what should I do?
F-for now, I have to go to Dragonspiral Tower...
OK! I'm heading north!
--- Path to Dragonspiral Tower
Bianca [off-screen]
Hey, Black!
Black
!
[Bianca rushes to catch up to Black.]
Cedric
Oh, Black!
And you must be Bianca.
I'm the other Professor Juniper.
The Professor Juniper who gave you the Pokédex is my daughter.
Bianca
Nice to meet you, professor!
Thanks to Professor Juniper, I got to go on a journey and start figuring out possibilities for my life.
I'm very, very grateful to her!
Cedric
Is that right? Grand, grand.
Actually, we should chat later.
Black, Bianca, here's the situation.
Some members of Team Plasma -- quite a large group -- broke through the tower wall and went inside.
Brycen and that young man -- I believe his name is Cheren -- the two of them went after Team Plasma, but...
Bianca
Professor, what's the Dragonspiral Tower?
Cedric
Ha! I guess you would be curious. Well, I'll explain briefly.
Dragonspiral Tower has stood tall since long before Unova was founded.
On the top floor, the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon waits for a person pursuing ideals to appear...
That's what is said.
Are you going to go after Team Plasma like your friend did?
It's admirable of you to join the fight against Team Plasma, but it's risky, too.
Bianca
Don't worry!
Black and Cheren are both really, really strong, and they've beaten Team Plasma before.
But... I'm not all that strong, actually. I admit it. I'm not very strong, so I was thinking...
It would be nice if, maybe, I could...
Stay here and be your bodyguard?
Cedric
Why, thank you! That makes me feel much safer!
Well, Black! It's up to you! Climb the tower!
This is all I can give you, but it might help you rest!
Black obtained an Old Gateau!
Black put the Old Gateau in the MEDICINE Case.
Cedric
Still... What could Team Plasma be after?
Bianca
Black... Please don't do anything crazy.
Team Plasma
Earlier, the Gym Leader went up the tower.
If you are lucky, you might witness a legend!
--- Dragonspiral Tower
--- First floor
[The tower shakes as Black approaches the stairway to the second floor.]
Is...
Is something... going wild at the top of the tower?
--- Second floor
Cheren [off-screen]
Black!
[Black looks to see Cheren standing on a raised platform.]
Cheren
You can walk on the fallen columns, too.
I'm going after Team Plasma!
[He rushes off ahead.]
--- Third floor
[Cheren and Brycen are facing off against a number of Team Plasma grunts.]
Brycen
Black! We'll hold them here!
You go on ahead!
Cheren
This is nothing! But there sure are a lot of them...
Oh, what a complete bother!
Brycen
I'm fine, but there's no time!
Cheren
Why do you make that extra push?
What is the source of that strength?!
Team Plasma
No one! I won't let anyone get in our way!
Team Plasma
So this is the true strength of a Gym Leader!
Team Plasma
This strength... Could it be equal to the Seven Sages?
Team Plasma
Yeah, all right. If I have to lose, at least it's to the Gym Leader.
Team Plasma
Right now, our king is upstairs...
There's nothing you can do!
Team Plasma
Why do you get in our way even though you don't understand our sublime goal?!
Team Plasma
So young, but so tough!
Team Plasma
Brycen, Cheren... They are moving around being annoying.
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
I don't understand...
I don't understand you guys...
Team Plasma
Why are you and the Gym Leaders against us?
I just can't understand it at all.
Team Plasma
I will hurt anyone who disobeys Team Plasma!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Liepard
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Ouch, ouuuch!
My Pokémon got hurt!
Team Plasma
You, before you came here, how many Pokémon did you hurt?
Team Plasma
I'm sure you also thought "I am strong" and "I can win" and came here.
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Scraggy
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Huh...
You thought right!
Team Plasma
If the king of Team Plasma rules the world, Trainers will disappear, and disputes will end!
Team Plasma
We exist to serve our lord N!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Liepard, Liepard
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Ah!
Our lord N!
Team Plasma
Because there are nights, the sun is beautiful.
Because we exist, our king shines...
Team Plasma
Since coming to Dragonspiral Tower, my stress level has maxed out! The more hyper I am, the faster you'll go down!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog, Scraggy, Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Bahhh.
I have lost my motivation.
Team Plasma
Still, this is a great tower.
I feel not only its history but also its awe-inspiring power.
--- Fifth floor
[The tower shakes as Black climbs the stairs to the fifth floor.]
??? [off-screen]
It's shocking!!
It sounds like something is on a rampage at the top of the tower!
Giallo
It's finally time. Our lord N will become the hero!
!
What?!
Someone made it clear up here?!
Now! Stop that Trainer!
For our lord N!
[Four grunts surround Black.]
Giallo
Everyone who isn't Team Plasma is an enemy!
Use all your powers to take them out!
Team Plasma (left)
No one can interfere with Unova's new dawn!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog, Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
The dawn of Unova has faded in the distance...
Team Plasma (left)
Sheesh...
Losing to a kid...
But Team Plasma is more than one person!
Team Plasma (rear)
Our dream is about to come true!
No one will be able to stop us!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Don't stop us!
I told you that we won't stop.
Team Plasma (rear)
You may have stopped me, but my teammate will stop you here!
Team Plasma (front)
Here I come!
Plasmaaaa!!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Trubbish, Liepard
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Even though I lost, I will still say:
Plasmaaaa! Plasmaaaaaa!!
Team Plasma (front)
Our king will create a new world.
Team Plasma (right)
Bring it on! Can you take on four in a row?
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
What? It looks like you can still fight!
Team Plasma (right)
I don't understand... Why do you keep trying so hard?
W-well, we'll let you through for now!
[The grunts back away from Black.]
Team Plasma (rear)
So your Pokémon have gotten used to being your weapons...
Giallo
The hero will open up the way to a new world!
Which means you Trainers can all prepare to lose your Pokémon!
--- Top floor
Black
!
[N stands before Zekrom, which is so badass it needs a cutscene.]
N
What do you think, Black?
How do you like the powerful form of the Pokémon who appears before and fights beside the hero that will lead the way to a new world?
Now, Zekrom and I will head to the Pokémon League and defeat the Champion!
This will be the last of the Pokémon battles that hurt Pokémon so.
A world for Pokémon alone... It's finally going to be a reality.
[Zekrom flies up into the air.]
N
If you want to stop me, you must become a hero as well!
That's right! When Zekrom's counterpart, Reshiram, recognizes you, we will finally be even, and then you can try to stop us!
Well, what will you do?
My prediction... If the future that I see is true, you will meet Reshiram.
The Pokémon with you believe in you so strongly... Will you be the one who interferes with my formula for changing the world?
If you want to protect the bonds between Pokémon and people, you must search for Reshiram!
I'm sure it is waiting for you in the form of the Light Stone.
[Zekrom scoops N up, and they fly off.
Cheren and Brycen reach the top floor.]
Cheren
Black, did you see what flew off just now?
Brycen
How could this happen?
Cheren
Why? That was that guy N, right?
Why was he with the legendary Pokémon?
He couldn't really be the hero, could he?!
Also, did I hear him tell you to search for the other legendary Pokémon?
Brycen
Calm down! First, we go back!
It's more important to decide what to do next than analyze what just happened.
[The three leave Dragonspiral Tower.]
--- Path to Icirrus City
Cedric
Astounding...
I never would have imagined the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon would return now...
Cheren
That guy called N...
Team Plasma's boss apparently reawakened the legendary Pokémon.
He told Black to look for the other legendary Pokémon, then flew away...
Bianca
Huh?
There are two legendary Dragon-type Pokémon?
??? [off-screen]
Yes! Yes, there are!
[Alder appears.]
Cedric
Why, if it isn't Alder!
It's been a while! Have you been well?
Alder
No time for chitchat!
Those violent flashes of lightning that shot from the tower...
That Pokémon has the power to destroy the world!
If it's on Team Plasma's side, and Team Plasma tells everyone to release their Pokémon...
No matter whether it comes from fear or admiration...
The world can't help but change.
It will become a world where we are separated from Pokémon...
Cedric
Right...
Moreover, the boss of Team Plasma, N, who reawakened Zekrom, apparently said to look for the other Pokémon, Reshiram.
Alder
If I remember the myth, Zekrom's powerful electricity, along with the other Pokémon, devastated ancient Unova in an instant.
Even knowing that, N is still wanting to awaken the other?!
Bianca
H-huh?!
Isn't it dangerous to bring back a Pokémon that powerful?
Alder
Miss, you are a very kind person.
Still, I don't know if other Pokémon will be able to stand up to it.
Because no matter what, it is a legendary being...
I don't like the idea of taking orders from N, but searching for the dragon -- the stone -- might not be a bad plan.
We certainly can't let Team Plasma reawaken both of them!
Since I've traveled all over Unova, I have an idea of where it might be.
Let's head to the Relic Castle. Black, everyone, I'm going!
Cedric
I see. We'll leave that to you.
I'm going to investigate inside the tower. Hopefully, I'll find something.
Brycen
Then, I will go with you.
[Brycen and Cedric return to the tower.]
Cheren
I think I understand better now.
Being able to do something for Pokémon -- for somebody at a time like this -- is strength... I'm sure of it.
And my strength is something that is given to me by Pokémon.
OK, Champion, let's hurry!
[Alder and Cheren walk off.]
Bianca
Black, this has turned into a big deal.
So confusing... I dunno what to do...
Are you gonna go to the Relic Castle, Black?
Past Route 4, in the Desert Resort... I hear that's where the Relic Castle is...
--- Desert Resort
Cheren [off-screen]
Stop, Black!
[Cheren runs up to Black.]
Cheren
That's the entrance to the Relic Castle.
You're impressive, Black, making it here before I did.
Dealing with the Desert Resort's Pokémon took longer than I would've thought.
I only made it all the way out here thanks to my Pokémon.
Alder went on ahead. Let's hurry.
--- Relic Castle
--- B1
Ryoku
Ghetsis told us that once again we should test how much power you have.
We will see if you can defeat Team Plasma!
Team Plasma
I've heard about you.
I heard you work Pokémon hard!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog, Krokorok, Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Yes, I heard you are strong.
You match what I heard exactly.
Team Plasma
To get to a lower level, stand still in the midst of quicksand.
I'm not being kind... My companions will defeat you.
--- B2
Team Plasma
You!
To please my Pokémon, lose!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Scraggy, Watchog
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
What a Trainer!
Team Plasma
Because of you, my Pokémon lost!
Don't you feel sorry for them?
Besides, you are just depending on your Pokémon for strength.
Team Plasma
You can't change the world without a little pain!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Garbodor
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Ouch...
I don't like pain.
Team Plasma
We're trying so hard to change the world because nobody else is trying. Yet...
That's right! You! Can you understand our lord N's feelings?
--- B3
Team Plasma
If everyone frees their Pokémon, there is no winning or losing!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
If I don't have Pokémon, I won't lose like this!
Team Plasma
How dare you interrupt us without understanding us?
Team Plasma
Pokémon are too good for the likes of you! They are amazing, but putting them in the hands of foolish Trainers can bring nothing good!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Liepard, Trubbish, Trubbish
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Argh!
Annoying!
Team Plasma
Me, lose? Here I am, covered in sand, throwing everything I have into it, and I lose? Am I that much of a loser?
It should be your loss. And that's an order!
--- B4
Team Plasma
We fight for the young king... That's it!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog, Scraggy
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
My king...
I am so sorry.
Team Plasma
Everything changes. Unova will also be born again. Why don't you admit that?
Team Plasma
I won't tolerate people who have different ideas!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Trubbish, Liepard
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Argh...
I won't forgive you!
Team Plasma
I repeat! We won't tolerate people who have different ideas!
Your friends are waiting below -- now get out!
--- B5
[Alder and Ghetsis are waiting. Cheren falls through the quicksand pit after Black.]
Cheren
Whew! I finally caught up.
Alder
You two. Come here... Come to my side.
[Black and Cheren stand beside Alder.]
Ghetsis
It looks like everyone is here.
It seems you are working hard to resurrect Reshiram, the other Dragon-type Pokémon, aren't you?
But it appears the Light Stone you seek is not here.
Well then, congratulations are in order! Black, you were chosen by our king.
If you truly desire to keep the world as it is, where Pokémon live alongside people, you must bring the other Dragon-type Pokémon spoken of in legend and battle with our king.
Otherwise, Team Plasma will steal every Pokémon from every person in the world and release them all!
Alder
Release them, you say?
Do the Pokémon who live with their Trainers actually want that?
Is the liberation you talk about really just stealing Pokémon from people?
Ghetsis
What's this?
Champion Alder, even though illness took the Pokémon that had been your partner for many years, and you haven't had a serious battle in all that time...
Even you, who ordered the Elite Four to protect the Pokémon League and left to wander the Unova region alone...
Even a Champion like you now wants to protect a world where Pokémon and people live together?
Team Plasma's king will show the people of Unova that he is stronger than a Champion who keeps Pokémon bound!
And just like the hero who founded Unova, he will be accompanied by the legendary Pokémon.
He will give this order!
"Trainers, release your Pokémon!"
For this, we have prepared a suitable castle for the legendary Zekrom and our king!
Alder
I won't lose!
I'll fight 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 has already determined that victory against you is assured.
Alder
So you stayed behind just to tell me that? Just to make a fool of me?
Ghetsis
Of course not. I'm doing this out of kindness.
Yes, kindness.
I'm making sure the Champion doesn't get hurt for no reason.
Granted, the moment when someone loses all hope...
I really do love to watch that moment.
Well then, farewell.
[Ghetsis pushes Black aside and departs.]
Cheren
Alder... What are you going to do now?
Alder
Hmmm...
It seems my only choice is to return to the Pokémon League and battle N.
But it bothers me to do exactly what Ghetsis wants...
More importantly, what should we do about the Light Stone?
Cheren
Alder... Why don't we go outside for now?
Alder
Yes... that's a good idea.
It's hard to breathe in here!
--- Desert Resort
Cheren
It's hard to put into words... but I'll never forgive them for this!
Alder
What could that guy called N possibly want?
Could he be trying to prove he is right by winning the battle of the two dragons?
The Xtransceiver is ringing.
Black picked up the Xtransceiver.
Juniper
Black!
Black!!
Hello?
Black!!
[She's mute, you dumbass.]
Juniper
Oh! You picked up! Hey, Black.
Come to the museum in Nacrene City immediately! Right away, got it?
I mean right now!
Alder
I could hear Professor Juniper's voice from clear over here!
Seems like something big is happening.
I wonder what is waiting at the museum in Nacrene City.
I'll go on ahead!
[Alder flies off on a Pokémon.]
Cheren
I'll look around here once more.
I don't want to believe what that Ghetsis says...
You should head for the Nacrene City Museum.
--- Nacrene City
Juniper
Alder told me what's going on.
Black, you got caught up in something serious, it seems...
Lenora
Is this it?
Bianca
Whoa. Isn't that the... stone... found in the Desert Resort?
Lenora
Yes, that's right, but is this really a Dragon-type Pokémon?
Cedric
Surely...
When I investigated Dragonspiral Tower, I found elements that were dated to the same era as this Light Stone!
Juniper
...I looked into that.
Lenora
Impressive, as always.
Bianca
But, you know, we're lucky...
'Cause what if Team Plasma, like, noticed that old stone that time...
Lenora
That's a good point.
It's clear to me that they were trying to steal the Dragon Skull so they could revive the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.
If you would, Black, take this...
Alder
Wait a moment, Black!
If you take this Light Stone, that means you'll be the one to battle N if anything happens to me.
Are you really OK with that?
Alder [if you say no]
So, you're just going to allow N to fulfill his plans for a new world?
A world where Pokémon and Trainers are separated?
Alder [if you say yes]
Still, I must ask you...
Sincerely, I must ask you...
Take this stone. Just in case it's needed!
Alder [if you say yes to his first question or no to his second]
I am deeply sorry. I wish I didn't have to burden you.
This world of ours, where Pokémon and people live together...
Please... If anything happens to me, protect it!
Lenora
...I see.
If things don't go as planned, you'll use this Light Stone.
You'll protect the true future for us and Pokémon.
Black, we're counting on you. Please take care of yourself.
Black obtained the Light Stone!
Black put the Light Stone in the KEY ITEMS Case.
Cedric
...
So, how do we wake the Dragon-type Pokémon from the stone, then?
Juniper
Huh?
Bianca
Umm...
Alder
...
Lenora
!
That's it! We've got them, don't we?
Alder
Ah-hah. We've got those two.
Black! Go to Opelucid City.
The Gym Leader of that city uses Dragon-type Pokémon.
The Gym Leader could know something. I'll go ahead and wait for you there!
Until then!
[Alder flies off on a Pokémon.]
Juniper
!
That's right!
Opelucid City's Drayden might know something!
Cedric
Hey, Black.
Never forget that you always have Pokémon right by your side.
Juniper
I'm going to head back to the lab and do some research...
I'll see if I can uncover what kinds of beings these legendary Dragon-type Pokémon are and if there is any way to awaken them...
[Juniper and Cedric walk off.]
Lenora
Don't worry!
If we have something for you, we'll come running to find you!
Bianca
Ooh. Sounds real serious...
Um, that's about all I got out of it.
Black, do you know Opelucid City?
When you leave from Icirrus City and, like, cross the Tubeline Bridge, it's on the other side. Umm...
I'm not that great with directions, so if you need more, check your Town Map, OK?
--- Route 8
Bianca [off-screen]
Black!
Black
!
[Bianca appears]
Bianca
As I've been traveling lately, I've been thinking about things.
Things like what I can do with my life, and what I want to do, but...
I'm thinking how cool it would be to be a model like Elesa.
And then, how cool it would be to do research on Pokémon like Profesor Juniper...
If that's what I want to do, I'm gonna have to know a lot about Pokémon.
Sooooo... would you please battle me?
--- VS Bianca
Team: Herdier, Musharna, Simisage, Emboar
Bianca [upon first attack]
Oh!
So, you chose that move!
Bianca [low on health]
Every time I watch my Pokémon battle, it ends like this...
Bianca [upon losing]
The Pokémon on both sides tried sooo hard, didn't they?
Bianca
Yep! Black, you're amazing! I'm really, really, really impressed, and that makes me want to give this to you!
Black obtained a Full Restore!
Black put the Full Restore in the MEDICINE Case.
[Bianca tugs on the sides of her hat.]
Bianca
In Castelia City, my precious Pokémon was stolen by Team Plasma.
So I really, really understand!
If Team Plasma forces everyone to liberate their Pokémon, there will be nothing but sad people!
Black!
Stop Team Plasma!
Don't allow Pokémon to be stolen from Trainers who love them!
I think that's the truth -- or ideal -- that you've been pursuing, Black...
Oh dear, here I've come all this way, and I'm afraid I'm bothering you when you're going through so much.
All I wanted was to help you relax, Black.
Knowing you, you'll be fine!
Definitely! You'll totally be fine!
I guarantee it!
Anyway, you know what I mean...
Yeah... So, bye-bye!
--- Icirrus City
Cedric
Hello, Black! How is Axew? [the first Pokémon in Black's party]
I can tell you're paying a lot of attention to training Axew.
Careful not to be too strict!
The Pokédex is important, but time spent having fun together is also important.
Say, I just had a thought -- have you heard of Dragonspiral Tower?
Cedric [if you say yes]
Really? Quite impressive.
Cedric [if you say no]
Eh... I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it.
Cedric
OK. Give this story a listen.
Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the Unova region's oldest building.
Stories say it's the place where legendary Pokémon come to life or where they remain in deep slumber.
I know it's just past Icirrus City, but that's all I know about it.
That's all anyone knows, because no one has ever been inside.
My daughter has wanted to investigate that tower for a long time.
"What! There's something I don't know?!"
That kind of feeling is pure adventure.
And I'm not too old for some adventuring.
Away I go to have a look at Dragonspiral Tower!
Catch you later!
[Cedric departs.]

Well, well, if you are feeling dizzy because of the Gym machines, I will stand in your path!

Oh, dear me!

Let me battle with you!

Miriam [upon losing]
Wow...
You are my strongest challenger so far.
Miriam
Engage the switches and start from the defined position.
If you try all the combinations, someday you'll find the right one!
Kendrew
I always calm myself and choose the critical moment in a battle.
--- VS Black Belt Kendrew

Kendrew [upon losing]
Mmmm? What?
Really?! No way!
Kendrew
Being calm and having no emotion are different.
Brycen rejoices quietly, and he grows quietly in rage...
Mikiko
The problem is never whether you can battle or not.
It's whether you will battle or not.
--- VS Battle Girl Mikiko
Team: Cubchoo, Vanillish
Mikiko [upon losing]
If you don't fight, you won't lose, but you won't grow stronger, either.
Mikiko
When you're not sure if you'll succeed, build momentum and take a leap!
It's fine! Because your Pokémon are always with you!
Chandra
The slippery frozen floor is perfect for improving your sense of balance!
--- VS Battle Girl Chandra

Chandra [upon losing]
I slipped and lost!
Chandra
Brycen slides on the frozen floor all the time, so it's worn down, and it looks like you can see the path... but maybe I'm imagining it.

I am the King of Karate!!
I've taught my Pokémon moves that they'll use in battle with you!

I am the King of Karate!!
I am skillful, but I lose quite often...

You appear ready to face a Gym Leader.
Then...
Bring it!

Brycen [upon first attack]
You are strong!
No, both you and your Pokémon are strong!
Brycen [sending out final Pokémon]
Extreme conditions really test you and train you!
Brycen [upon losing]
The wonderful combination of you and your Pokémon!
What a beautiful friendship!
Brycen
In honor of your stout heart, I will give you this.
Black received the Freeze Badge from Brycen!
Brycen
You have seven Badges.
That means Pokémon up to Lv. 80 will obey you.
This TM will convey my regard for your accomplishments.
Black obtained a TM79 Frost Breath!
Black put the TM79 in the TMs & HMs Case.
Brycen
A move that always results in a critical hit: Frost Breath.
Brycen
No matter how many battles I fight, I don't know what strength is.
Perhaps you can find the answer.
Clyde
From Brycen, I've learned how to say more with fewer words.
--- Icirrus City
[Cheren and Bianca are waiting for Black outside the Gym.]
Cheren
Black, I've been talking with Bianca and I'm wondering...
Since we left Nuvema Town, has something about me... changed?
Thinking about what I want to do... Thinking about what I should do...
It felt like there was nothing...
Have I really become stronger? Or is it just my Pokémon that have?
I don't know anymore!
Bianca
Hey, hey. Cheer up, Cheren... Isn't it nice to see everyone?!
Black! Know what? This time, I'll go to the Pokémon Fan Club.
I'm really searching... for what I want to do and what I can do!
[Brycen exits the Gym.]
Brycen
Who are you?
Bianca
Who? Us?
I'm Bianca, and this is Cheren...
Brycen
I know you are there! Why don't you show yourselves?
[The Shadow Triad appear.]
Shadow Triad
...
Impressive, Gym Leader of Icirrus City.
We, the Shadow Triad, are beings of the shadows... and not easily noticed.
Shadow Triad
Our mission was to speak only with Black, but so be it.
Ghetsis has a message for you: come to Dragonspiral Tower.
Shadow Triad
It is there that our lord N waits for you.
...Now, our mission is complete.
Brycen
Dragonspiral Tower?! What's going on?
Hey! Tell me...
[The Shadow Triad vanishes.]
Brycen
Now, hang on.
Young man, if you're here for a Gym challenge, hang on for a bit.
I've got to head to Dragonspiral Tower!
Cheren
I'm going, too.
Dragonspiral Tower is to the north of here, right?
[Brycen and Cheren leave town to the north.]
Bianca
Whoooooa! Whoa. Wh-what should I do?
F-for now, I have to go to Dragonspiral Tower...
OK! I'm heading north!
--- Path to Dragonspiral Tower
Bianca [off-screen]
Hey, Black!
Black
!
[Bianca rushes to catch up to Black.]
Cedric
Oh, Black!
And you must be Bianca.
I'm the other Professor Juniper.
The Professor Juniper who gave you the Pokédex is my daughter.
Bianca
Nice to meet you, professor!
Thanks to Professor Juniper, I got to go on a journey and start figuring out possibilities for my life.
I'm very, very grateful to her!
Cedric
Is that right? Grand, grand.
Actually, we should chat later.
Black, Bianca, here's the situation.
Some members of Team Plasma -- quite a large group -- broke through the tower wall and went inside.
Brycen and that young man -- I believe his name is Cheren -- the two of them went after Team Plasma, but...
Bianca
Professor, what's the Dragonspiral Tower?
Cedric
Ha! I guess you would be curious. Well, I'll explain briefly.
Dragonspiral Tower has stood tall since long before Unova was founded.
On the top floor, the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon waits for a person pursuing ideals to appear...
That's what is said.
Are you going to go after Team Plasma like your friend did?
It's admirable of you to join the fight against Team Plasma, but it's risky, too.
Bianca
Don't worry!
Black and Cheren are both really, really strong, and they've beaten Team Plasma before.
But... I'm not all that strong, actually. I admit it. I'm not very strong, so I was thinking...
It would be nice if, maybe, I could...
Stay here and be your bodyguard?
Cedric
Why, thank you! That makes me feel much safer!
Well, Black! It's up to you! Climb the tower!
This is all I can give you, but it might help you rest!
Black obtained an Old Gateau!
Black put the Old Gateau in the MEDICINE Case.
Cedric
Still... What could Team Plasma be after?
Bianca
Black... Please don't do anything crazy.
Team Plasma
Earlier, the Gym Leader went up the tower.
If you are lucky, you might witness a legend!
--- Dragonspiral Tower
--- First floor
[The tower shakes as Black approaches the stairway to the second floor.]
Is...
Is something... going wild at the top of the tower?
--- Second floor
Cheren [off-screen]
Black!
[Black looks to see Cheren standing on a raised platform.]
Cheren
You can walk on the fallen columns, too.
I'm going after Team Plasma!
[He rushes off ahead.]
--- Third floor
[Cheren and Brycen are facing off against a number of Team Plasma grunts.]
Brycen
Black! We'll hold them here!
You go on ahead!
Cheren
This is nothing! But there sure are a lot of them...
Oh, what a complete bother!
Brycen
I'm fine, but there's no time!
Cheren
Why do you make that extra push?
What is the source of that strength?!
Team Plasma
No one! I won't let anyone get in our way!
Team Plasma
So this is the true strength of a Gym Leader!
Team Plasma
This strength... Could it be equal to the Seven Sages?
Team Plasma
Yeah, all right. If I have to lose, at least it's to the Gym Leader.
Team Plasma
Right now, our king is upstairs...
There's nothing you can do!
Team Plasma
Why do you get in our way even though you don't understand our sublime goal?!
Team Plasma
So young, but so tough!
Team Plasma
Brycen, Cheren... They are moving around being annoying.
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
I don't understand...
I don't understand you guys...
Team Plasma
Why are you and the Gym Leaders against us?
I just can't understand it at all.
Team Plasma
I will hurt anyone who disobeys Team Plasma!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Liepard
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Ouch, ouuuch!
My Pokémon got hurt!
Team Plasma
You, before you came here, how many Pokémon did you hurt?
Team Plasma
I'm sure you also thought "I am strong" and "I can win" and came here.
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Scraggy
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Huh...
You thought right!
Team Plasma
If the king of Team Plasma rules the world, Trainers will disappear, and disputes will end!

Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Ah!
Our lord N!
Team Plasma
Because there are nights, the sun is beautiful.
Because we exist, our king shines...
Team Plasma
Since coming to Dragonspiral Tower, my stress level has maxed out! The more hyper I am, the faster you'll go down!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog, Scraggy, Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Bahhh.
I have lost my motivation.
Team Plasma
Still, this is a great tower.
I feel not only its history but also its awe-inspiring power.
--- Fifth floor
[The tower shakes as Black climbs the stairs to the fifth floor.]
??? [off-screen]
It's shocking!!
It sounds like something is on a rampage at the top of the tower!
Giallo
It's finally time. Our lord N will become the hero!
!
What?!
Someone made it clear up here?!
Now! Stop that Trainer!
For our lord N!
[Four grunts surround Black.]
Giallo
Everyone who isn't Team Plasma is an enemy!
Use all your powers to take them out!
Team Plasma (left)
No one can interfere with Unova's new dawn!

Sheesh...
Losing to a kid...
But Team Plasma is more than one person!

Our dream is about to come true!
No one will be able to stop us!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Don't stop us!
I told you that we won't stop.
Team Plasma (rear)
You may have stopped me, but my teammate will stop you here!
Team Plasma (front)
Here I come!
Plasmaaaa!!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Trubbish, Liepard
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Even though I lost, I will still say:
Plasmaaaa! Plasmaaaaaa!!
Team Plasma (front)
Our king will create a new world.
Team Plasma (right)
Bring it on! Can you take on four in a row?
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
What? It looks like you can still fight!
Team Plasma (right)
I don't understand... Why do you keep trying so hard?
W-well, we'll let you through for now!
[The grunts back away from Black.]
Team Plasma (rear)
So your Pokémon have gotten used to being your weapons...
Giallo
The hero will open up the way to a new world!
Which means you Trainers can all prepare to lose your Pokémon!
--- Top floor
Black
!
[N stands before Zekrom, which is so badass it needs a cutscene.]
N
What do you think, Black?
How do you like the powerful form of the Pokémon who appears before and fights beside the hero that will lead the way to a new world?
Now, Zekrom and I will head to the Pokémon League and defeat the Champion!
This will be the last of the Pokémon battles that hurt Pokémon so.
A world for Pokémon alone... It's finally going to be a reality.
[Zekrom flies up into the air.]
N
If you want to stop me, you must become a hero as well!
That's right! When Zekrom's counterpart, Reshiram, recognizes you, we will finally be even, and then you can try to stop us!
Well, what will you do?
My prediction... If the future that I see is true, you will meet Reshiram.
The Pokémon with you believe in you so strongly... Will you be the one who interferes with my formula for changing the world?
If you want to protect the bonds between Pokémon and people, you must search for Reshiram!
I'm sure it is waiting for you in the form of the Light Stone.
[Zekrom scoops N up, and they fly off.
Cheren and Brycen reach the top floor.]
Cheren
Black, did you see what flew off just now?
Brycen
How could this happen?
Cheren
Why? That was that guy N, right?
Why was he with the legendary Pokémon?
He couldn't really be the hero, could he?!
Also, did I hear him tell you to search for the other legendary Pokémon?
Brycen
Calm down! First, we go back!
It's more important to decide what to do next than analyze what just happened.
[The three leave Dragonspiral Tower.]
--- Path to Icirrus City
Cedric
Astounding...
I never would have imagined the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon would return now...
Cheren
That guy called N...
Team Plasma's boss apparently reawakened the legendary Pokémon.
He told Black to look for the other legendary Pokémon, then flew away...
Bianca
Huh?
There are two legendary Dragon-type Pokémon?
??? [off-screen]
Yes! Yes, there are!
[Alder appears.]
Cedric
Why, if it isn't Alder!
It's been a while! Have you been well?
Alder
No time for chitchat!
Those violent flashes of lightning that shot from the tower...
That Pokémon has the power to destroy the world!
If it's on Team Plasma's side, and Team Plasma tells everyone to release their Pokémon...
No matter whether it comes from fear or admiration...
The world can't help but change.
It will become a world where we are separated from Pokémon...
Cedric
Right...
Moreover, the boss of Team Plasma, N, who reawakened Zekrom, apparently said to look for the other Pokémon, Reshiram.
Alder
If I remember the myth, Zekrom's powerful electricity, along with the other Pokémon, devastated ancient Unova in an instant.
Even knowing that, N is still wanting to awaken the other?!
Bianca
H-huh?!
Isn't it dangerous to bring back a Pokémon that powerful?
Alder
Miss, you are a very kind person.
Still, I don't know if other Pokémon will be able to stand up to it.
Because no matter what, it is a legendary being...
I don't like the idea of taking orders from N, but searching for the dragon -- the stone -- might not be a bad plan.
We certainly can't let Team Plasma reawaken both of them!
Since I've traveled all over Unova, I have an idea of where it might be.
Let's head to the Relic Castle. Black, everyone, I'm going!
Cedric
I see. We'll leave that to you.
I'm going to investigate inside the tower. Hopefully, I'll find something.
Brycen
Then, I will go with you.
[Brycen and Cedric return to the tower.]
Cheren
I think I understand better now.
Being able to do something for Pokémon -- for somebody at a time like this -- is strength... I'm sure of it.
And my strength is something that is given to me by Pokémon.
OK, Champion, let's hurry!
[Alder and Cheren walk off.]
Bianca
Black, this has turned into a big deal.
So confusing... I dunno what to do...
Are you gonna go to the Relic Castle, Black?
Past Route 4, in the Desert Resort... I hear that's where the Relic Castle is...
--- Desert Resort
Cheren [off-screen]
Stop, Black!
[Cheren runs up to Black.]
Cheren
That's the entrance to the Relic Castle.
You're impressive, Black, making it here before I did.
Dealing with the Desert Resort's Pokémon took longer than I would've thought.
I only made it all the way out here thanks to my Pokémon.
Alder went on ahead. Let's hurry.
--- Relic Castle
--- B1
Ryoku
Ghetsis told us that once again we should test how much power you have.
We will see if you can defeat Team Plasma!
Team Plasma
I've heard about you.
I heard you work Pokémon hard!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog, Krokorok, Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Yes, I heard you are strong.
You match what I heard exactly.
Team Plasma
To get to a lower level, stand still in the midst of quicksand.
I'm not being kind... My companions will defeat you.
--- B2
Team Plasma
You!
To please my Pokémon, lose!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Scraggy, Watchog
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
What a Trainer!
Team Plasma
Because of you, my Pokémon lost!
Don't you feel sorry for them?
Besides, you are just depending on your Pokémon for strength.
Team Plasma
You can't change the world without a little pain!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Garbodor
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Ouch...
I don't like pain.
Team Plasma
We're trying so hard to change the world because nobody else is trying. Yet...
That's right! You! Can you understand our lord N's feelings?
--- B3
Team Plasma
If everyone frees their Pokémon, there is no winning or losing!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Krokorok
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
If I don't have Pokémon, I won't lose like this!
Team Plasma
How dare you interrupt us without understanding us?
Team Plasma
Pokémon are too good for the likes of you! They are amazing, but putting them in the hands of foolish Trainers can bring nothing good!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Liepard, Trubbish, Trubbish
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Argh!
Annoying!
Team Plasma
Me, lose? Here I am, covered in sand, throwing everything I have into it, and I lose? Am I that much of a loser?
It should be your loss. And that's an order!
--- B4
Team Plasma
We fight for the young king... That's it!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Watchog, Scraggy
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
My king...
I am so sorry.
Team Plasma
Everything changes. Unova will also be born again. Why don't you admit that?
Team Plasma
I won't tolerate people who have different ideas!
--- VS Team Plasma Grunt
Team: Trubbish, Liepard
Team Plasma Grunt [upon losing]
Argh...
I won't forgive you!
Team Plasma
I repeat! We won't tolerate people who have different ideas!
Your friends are waiting below -- now get out!
--- B5
[Alder and Ghetsis are waiting. Cheren falls through the quicksand pit after Black.]
Cheren
Whew! I finally caught up.
Alder
You two. Come here... Come to my side.
[Black and Cheren stand beside Alder.]
Ghetsis
It looks like everyone is here.
It seems you are working hard to resurrect Reshiram, the other Dragon-type Pokémon, aren't you?
But it appears the Light Stone you seek is not here.
Well then, congratulations are in order! Black, you were chosen by our king.
If you truly desire to keep the world as it is, where Pokémon live alongside people, you must bring the other Dragon-type Pokémon spoken of in legend and battle with our king.
Otherwise, Team Plasma will steal every Pokémon from every person in the world and release them all!
Alder
Release them, you say?
Do the Pokémon who live with their Trainers actually want that?
Is the liberation you talk about really just stealing Pokémon from people?
Ghetsis
What's this?
Champion Alder, even though illness took the Pokémon that had been your partner for many years, and you haven't had a serious battle in all that time...
Even you, who ordered the Elite Four to protect the Pokémon League and left to wander the Unova region alone...
Even a Champion like you now wants to protect a world where Pokémon and people live together?
Team Plasma's king will show the people of Unova that he is stronger than a Champion who keeps Pokémon bound!
And just like the hero who founded Unova, he will be accompanied by the legendary Pokémon.
He will give this order!
"Trainers, release your Pokémon!"
For this, we have prepared a suitable castle for the legendary Zekrom and our king!
Alder
I won't lose!
I'll fight 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 has already determined that victory against you is assured.
Alder
So you stayed behind just to tell me that? Just to make a fool of me?
Ghetsis
Of course not. I'm doing this out of kindness.
Yes, kindness.
I'm making sure the Champion doesn't get hurt for no reason.
Granted, the moment when someone loses all hope...
I really do love to watch that moment.
Well then, farewell.
[Ghetsis pushes Black aside and departs.]
Cheren
Alder... What are you going to do now?
Alder
Hmmm...
It seems my only choice is to return to the Pokémon League and battle N.
But it bothers me to do exactly what Ghetsis wants...
More importantly, what should we do about the Light Stone?
Cheren
Alder... Why don't we go outside for now?
Alder
Yes... that's a good idea.
It's hard to breathe in here!
--- Desert Resort
Cheren
It's hard to put into words... but I'll never forgive them for this!
Alder
What could that guy called N possibly want?
Could he be trying to prove he is right by winning the battle of the two dragons?
The Xtransceiver is ringing.
Black picked up the Xtransceiver.
Juniper
Black!
Black!!
Hello?
Black!!
[She's mute, you dumbass.]
Juniper
Oh! You picked up! Hey, Black.
Come to the museum in Nacrene City immediately! Right away, got it?
I mean right now!
Alder
I could hear Professor Juniper's voice from clear over here!
Seems like something big is happening.
I wonder what is waiting at the museum in Nacrene City.
I'll go on ahead!
[Alder flies off on a Pokémon.]
Cheren
I'll look around here once more.
I don't want to believe what that Ghetsis says...
You should head for the Nacrene City Museum.
--- Nacrene City
Juniper
Alder told me what's going on.
Black, you got caught up in something serious, it seems...
Lenora
Is this it?
Bianca
Whoa. Isn't that the... stone... found in the Desert Resort?
Lenora
Yes, that's right, but is this really a Dragon-type Pokémon?
Cedric
Surely...
When I investigated Dragonspiral Tower, I found elements that were dated to the same era as this Light Stone!
Juniper
...I looked into that.
Lenora
Impressive, as always.
Bianca
But, you know, we're lucky...
'Cause what if Team Plasma, like, noticed that old stone that time...
Lenora
That's a good point.
It's clear to me that they were trying to steal the Dragon Skull so they could revive the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.
If you would, Black, take this...
Alder
Wait a moment, Black!
If you take this Light Stone, that means you'll be the one to battle N if anything happens to me.
Are you really OK with that?
Alder [if you say no]
So, you're just going to allow N to fulfill his plans for a new world?
A world where Pokémon and Trainers are separated?
Alder [if you say yes]
Still, I must ask you...
Sincerely, I must ask you...
Take this stone. Just in case it's needed!
Alder [if you say yes to his first question or no to his second]
I am deeply sorry. I wish I didn't have to burden you.
This world of ours, where Pokémon and people live together...
Please... If anything happens to me, protect it!
Lenora
...I see.
If things don't go as planned, you'll use this Light Stone.
You'll protect the true future for us and Pokémon.
Black, we're counting on you. Please take care of yourself.
Black obtained the Light Stone!
Black put the Light Stone in the KEY ITEMS Case.
Cedric
...
So, how do we wake the Dragon-type Pokémon from the stone, then?
Juniper
Huh?
Bianca
Umm...
Alder
...
Lenora
!
That's it! We've got them, don't we?
Alder
Ah-hah. We've got those two.
Black! Go to Opelucid City.
The Gym Leader of that city uses Dragon-type Pokémon.
The Gym Leader could know something. I'll go ahead and wait for you there!
Until then!
[Alder flies off on a Pokémon.]
Juniper
!
That's right!
Opelucid City's Drayden might know something!
Cedric
Hey, Black.
Never forget that you always have Pokémon right by your side.
Juniper
I'm going to head back to the lab and do some research...
I'll see if I can uncover what kinds of beings these legendary Dragon-type Pokémon are and if there is any way to awaken them...
[Juniper and Cedric walk off.]
Lenora
Don't worry!
If we have something for you, we'll come running to find you!
Bianca
Ooh. Sounds real serious...
Um, that's about all I got out of it.
Black, do you know Opelucid City?
When you leave from Icirrus City and, like, cross the Tubeline Bridge, it's on the other side. Umm...
I'm not that great with directions, so if you need more, check your Town Map, OK?
--- Route 8
Bianca [off-screen]
Black!
Black
!
[Bianca appears]
Bianca
As I've been traveling lately, I've been thinking about things.
Things like what I can do with my life, and what I want to do, but...
I'm thinking how cool it would be to be a model like Elesa.
And then, how cool it would be to do research on Pokémon like Profesor Juniper...
If that's what I want to do, I'm gonna have to know a lot about Pokémon.
Sooooo... would you please battle me?
--- VS Bianca
Team: Herdier, Musharna, Simisage, Emboar
Bianca [upon first attack]
Oh!
So, you chose that move!
Bianca [low on health]
Every time I watch my Pokémon battle, it ends like this...
Bianca [upon losing]
The Pokémon on both sides tried sooo hard, didn't they?
Bianca
Yep! Black, you're amazing! I'm really, really, really impressed, and that makes me want to give this to you!
Black obtained a Full Restore!
Black put the Full Restore in the MEDICINE Case.
[Bianca tugs on the sides of her hat.]
Bianca
In Castelia City, my precious Pokémon was stolen by Team Plasma.
So I really, really understand!
If Team Plasma forces everyone to liberate their Pokémon, there will be nothing but sad people!
Black!
Stop Team Plasma!
Don't allow Pokémon to be stolen from Trainers who love them!
I think that's the truth -- or ideal -- that you've been pursuing, Black...
Oh dear, here I've come all this way, and I'm afraid I'm bothering you when you're going through so much.
All I wanted was to help you relax, Black.
Knowing you, you'll be fine!
Definitely! You'll totally be fine!
I guarantee it!
Anyway, you know what I mean...
Yeah... So, bye-bye!
