AN: Okay. So hiiii. Usually my stories fail in every possible way, so after four years, I'm back with a new story. It's going to get more exciting, I promise. Also, please, please, review. I would love to know how I can improve and maybe fix my story. Alright, the rookie is going to try and make it good!


I watched in terror as the black dragon slowly slid down to the floor, with a cry of anguish. "No." I whispered. "This isn't how it's supposed to end."

The green haired male straightened a bit, before giving a small smile, he seems like he's about to talk, but the man behind him interrupts him. I narrowed my eyes as Ghetsis roars with laughter, "It's over, Black! Your ideas will never happen! To think… I feared you might actually win!" He sends out a blue, dark looking dragon. I'm too dazed to move, what was he planning to do next? "Hydreigon! Take his pokemon!" I opened my mouth to protest, but no words come out. I try to move, but I feel too weak and light-headed. It feels like a nightmare, and everything goes in slow motion as I'm knocked down by a purple pulse of energy. I swear I hear N scream, but I couldn't even tell anymore. I feel everything blur, watching as Hydreigon snatches four of my pokeballs.

"No…" I whispered hoarsely, Zekrom roars with fury and with his last inch of strength grabs me and flies off. Hydregion follows before Ghetsis calls him back. I watch from the sky as Ghetsis starts examining my pokeballs, opening them one by one. I feel like such a failure. My pokemon will never forgive me as long as I live, is the last thought that goes through my mind as my eyes close shut.

I wake up a little while later to see my mom standing over me with tears in her eyes. "Mom…?" I realized that no words came out of my mouth, and cleared my throat.

"Black! Black, sweetie? Are you alright?" My mother hugs me tightly, and I feel enraged over the question. Alright? I want to tell her, I'm just fucking peachy. I lost all my pokemon, and now everyone will have to lose their pokemon! After I think this thought, I feel a pang of guilt as my mind floods back to what happened.

"Where's… Zekrom…?" I asked so softly, my mother had to lean down to hear.

"Zekrom… The dragon? It flew off two days ago. I don't know where it's going bu—"

I didn't let her finish, "Two…days?"

"Honey, you've been knocked out for three days." She bit her lip.

"Three days!" I sat up quickly, only to wince and slowly lay back down. "Bianca? Cheren?"

"Are fine. Everyone's fine, baby. We're just concerned about you, right now. Okay?"

I nodded tiredly. "I want to sleep."

"Alright baby. Close your eyes." She pets my hair as I closed my eyes once more.

I wake up again to see a rather pale green, snake-like pokemon staring at me. "Amadeus?" That's impossible, my mind screams. Ghetsis took you away from me. I wince at the thought. Instantly, my serperior nudges my arm, and I rub his head. I'm surprised as hell- Amadeus is completely unaffectionate at all, so this means he was really worried about me. I smiled at the thought. I sit up; the pain on my body from being blasted by dragon pulse is gone. Amadeus instantly moves away, and my heart drops a little in sheer disappointment.

I turn to face the television, and grab the remote. Maybe some TV will calm my nerves for a little bit, before I have to think about how to fix the entire situation. I heave a sigh and click on the television. To my horror, I find this:

"…And if you don't willingly give up your pokemon…" A green haired man pauses in thought, and grins, his red eye glows in insane delight. "You will suffer the wrath of Team Plasma." The camera angle moves a bit to reveal a huge group of members. "We know where you all are." Just like that, it turns back to the news I was suppose to be watching.

They appear as shocked as I am, "A-a-and that was a special report from… that… man." A news-reporter lamely said. I snarl, and shut off the television, just as my mother comes in with a plate of food.

"Hello Black!" She gives a false, cheery smile. "Seems like you're feeling better."

"The news." I scowl, she spots the remote in my hand, and her happy expression fades.

"Oh, Black, sweetie. I wouldn't be too concerned, we're… fine. No one seems to care about that crazy man on the news." Her voice is too hoarse to believe, which causes me to get pissed off. I know when that woman is lying.

"Oh?" I give her my harshest glare, "That's a lie, and you know it."

"So some people have given up their pokemon." She places the plate on my desk and sits on the edge of my bed. "It doesn't mean everyone is listening."

I search her face, but eventually give up. That woman has a great poker face. "Okay." I say weakly, "Amadeus is here."

She looks blankly at seperior. "Yes… He is." Her voice is flat. It's obvious that the air has gotten thick and awkward. She gets up and hands me the plate of food- scrambled eggs. "Here, eat some food. It's brain food." With that, she scurries out.

"It's brain food." I mock silently, before pushing my eggs around with a fork to make it appear that I've eaten something. I wasn't in the mood to eat, the guilt in the bottom of my stomach refuse to let me eat anything. "Want some brain food, Amadeus?" Amadeus just gave me a look like I was crazy. I sit there, playing with my food and lost in my thoughts before I stand. "Let's go see Cheren and Bianca." I tell Amadeus, "We can figure out what's really happening." I'm about to walk out before I glance quickly at myself in the mirror. I look like complete shit. "Maybe… After I change." I sniff myself. "And shower." Amadeus gives me an amused look as I rush off.

An hour and a half later, I knock on the door of Cheren's house. His father answers and he doesn't seem too pleased. "Hello Black."

I quickly response, "Is Cheren home?"

He shakes his head, "He's out on his journey. Trying to stop this Team Plasma." My heart drops.

"Do you know if Bianca's home?"

"Why don't you ask HER family?" With that, he closed the door. Great. Thanks, asshole.

I walk just a few feet to Bianca's house, and I knock on the door. I'm relieved when Bianca opens the door. "Black?" She hugs me so tightly, I start to wheeze.

"Yeah… it's me…"

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I was soooo worried about you!" She sniffled, and let go of me. "It is sooo great to see you!"

"Can I come in?" I ask, trying to get the numbness away from my body.

"Of course, silly!" She steps away, and I step in. "MOM! DAD! BLACK IS HERE!"

Her mom automatically responded, "THAT'S GOOD SWEETIE! TELL HIM I SAID HI!" Bianca closed the door behind me.

"Sooo, what's up? How are you?"

"Just great, I got my pokemon jacked by lunatics, and stupid Ghetsis is making lame ass—"

"Announcements on the TV?" I hate it when she finishes my sentences, but this time, I nod and not tell her off. "Yeah. I hate watching them. My aunt already told us we should give in and give us the pokemon. I refused!" She turned and stormed off to her room, leaving me to follow. Once we got there, she continued talking. "The only problem is… Unova is really agreeing with this. And some of the other regions are to."

I choked, "Other regions know about it?"

"Yep, Worldwide broadcasts on TV and radio almost every hour of the day. Kanto and Sinnoh are kind of already in for it."

"You're serious?"

"Yeah. Cheren is determined to find Ghetsis and really just fuck. him. up. Oh, excuse the french. Mainly because he's mad that you got your pokemon stolen."

"It was my own fault." I stated bitterly, "I could have protected them."

"But you didn't." Bianca said, I looked at her in utter surprise at her sudden calmness, "It doesn't matter. We're all going to get your pokemon back!"

"Really…?"

"And, and, and. You're going to love this. We're finally going to travel together and everything!" She clung to my arm. "Isn't that great? I already called Cheren on the Xtransciever and he should be here whenever he can."

"That's awesome!" I had missed my friends when I was traveling alone, but I suddenly deflated. "But… All I have is Amadeus." I turned to look at Amadeus, who had a pissed-off expression.

"You can borrow some of mine…?"

"Nah. It's alright." I grinned down at Amadeus. "Ready for another journey?" The sudden determined look Amadeus gave scared even me. "Great. Then we're off!"
