A Zircon Under Night and Day
Chapter 1: Reunion
"Very impressive White!" One of the Subway Bosses praised the young female, White. "Somehow, someway, you were actually able to defeat 20 trainers. Who would have thought?!" White looked down sheepishly. She didn't even think she would make it this far in the Battle Subway.
"Emmet, can you try to be a bit nicer with the way you give your compliments?" The other Subway Boss asked. "As you already know, White, once you beat 20 trainers, you get the privilege to battle either me, Ingo," he bowed. "or Emmet. We are the Subway Bosses and we're very skilled trainers. Although you managed to beat 20 trainers, it won't be easy to defeat one of us! So who do you choose to battle?" Ingo finally asked. This was the first time White had to ever battle this much. She never expected to one day battle one of the Subway Bosses, even if this was just to test how the Battle Subway worked. She decided to put those thoughts aside and stood up straight. She saw that Emmet was really anxious to battle, while Ingo just seemed nonchalant.
"Alright then. I choose...Ingo!" White declared. Emmet immediatly started to approach White to ask her why she didn't pick him, but as always, Ingo pulled him back.
"Since I know you are new at battling, you only need to beat one of my Pokemon." Ingo stated and reached for one of his pokeballs. "Go Chandelure!" A chandelier-like Pokemon popped out of the pokeball. It emitted purple flames from its head and what seemed like arms. White never liked any types of ghost Pokemon and the way the Chandelure's eerie yellow eyes looked at her, creeped her out even more. She found enough courage to finally reach one of her own pokeballs.
"Go Servine!" She shouted. The Grass Snake Pokemon came out with a serious face as always. It was ordered to stay by White's side by N and White still doesn't know whether to trust it or not. "Uhm...Okay let's battle!"
"As you wish! Chandelure use Ember!" Ingo ordered. The Pokemon spun around releasing red flames towards Servine.
"Servine dodge and use...Leaf Tornado!" Servine did as it was told. It dodged the attack with grace and shot a storm of spinning leaves at Chandelure. It was a direct hit and Chandelure actually seemed to have taken some critical damage.
Unbelievable! Although Leaf Tornado is a grass type move, it seemed to have caused great damage to my Chandelure. I've never seen anything like this before. Ingo pondered. "I'm not going easy on you anymore! Chandelure use Ember one more time!" The Luring Pokemon repeated the same move.
"Servine dodge again!" White ordered. Servine skillfully dodged.
"Perfect! Chandelure use Psychic on the flames and direct them towards Servine!" The flames started glowing purple and coming towards Servine at a fast speed. The Grass Snake Pokemon had no time to dodge and got hit directly on the back. Servine cried in pain as it fell to the floor.
"Let's finish this off Chandelure! Use Flamethrower!" Ingo ordered. The shot of fire coming from Chandelure was making its ways to Servine.
"Ahhhhh! Servine uhmm...hurry dodge...and use Flash!" White quickly commanded while waving her hands up and down. Servine looked a little irritated but did what it was commanded. It barely managed to dodge the flames while emitting a blinding bright light. "Now use Energy Ball while Chandelure can't see!" White yelled. Her heart started racing at the excitement of battling. Is this how Black feels all the time? White thought.
"I'm not going down yet! Chandelure focus on where the sound of the Energy Ball is coming from and aim your Flamethrower at that direction!" Ingo yelled. Chandelure focused and when it thought it heard the sound, it unleashed a great wave of fire. Chandelure had guessed correctly and it was a battle between a Flamethrower and an Energy Ball. Of course the latter had no chance as the Flamethrower engulfed the grass attack and moved straight towards Servine. There was definitely no way of dodging this. Servine was already exhausted as the fire attack hit it with full power. After all the smoke had faded, Servine was found fainted on the ground.
"Oh no! Servine return!" White exclaimed as the Pokemon returned back into its pokeball. "You did a great job out there. Thank you." She praised the Pokemon.
"Are you sure you're a beginner trainer. You did a far better job than I expected you to do." Ingo stated.
"No fair! I'm missing out on all the fun!" Emmet complained. White gave him an apologetic smile.
"So who's next?" asked Ingo. White took out her remaining two pokeballs. She still had Jessica, her Deerling, and Black's Braviary, Brav. She didn't want to use Jessica because it would easily lose since it doesn't know a lot of attacks. White had no other option but to use Brav. Brav had to be the strongest Pokemon in her possession right now. With it by her side, she was able to defeat most of the trainers. She had to thank Black for lending her his Brav the next time they meet, which was very soon. Black...I wonder where you are right now. Probably yelling your goal in life so everyone can hear as always. I have come this far, so I can't give up right now! White took a deep breath and smiled.
"Be ready Ingo! I'll put my all into this next battle!" White confidently told Ingo. "Come on out Brav!" The pokeball unleashed the red light revealing the Valiant Pokemon. Its eagle-like appearance made it seem superior to Chandelure. Its dark red and navy blue feathers glistened in the light as well. "Are you ready Brav?" White asked the Pokemon. Brav turned his head to face White and let out a war cry.
"A Braviary? Impressive! I see you got some fighting spirit as well. Either way, I'll not go easy on you!" Ingo boldly responded. "Chandelure use Ember and send a Shadow Ball to go through it!" As Chandelure shot out Ember, it also released a Shadow Ball that soon became engulfed with fire.
"Quick Brav, dodge!" White ordered.
"Chandelure use Psychic on the Shadow Ball!" Ingo quickly commanded. The fire covered Shadow Ball started heading towards Brav.
"Not falling for that again! Brav use Aerial Ace on it!" Brav flapped its wings strongly causing huge winds. The winds made the Shadow Ball steer off course and ended up hitting the roof of the subway, creating a hole.
"Not bad, young White! But you should never turn your back on your opponent! Chandeleur use Double Team and follow up with Ember!" Ingo commanded. Chandelure surrounded Brav with Double Team and the Ember came from all around it.
"No! Brav...Fly through the hole that was caused earlier!" White instructed. Brav did as it was told and was barely able to fit through the small opening. This caused him to avoid getting hit by Ember. "Now Brav use Brave Bird!" Brav's body started turning a bright blue as it started to head back down in order to hit its target.
"Chandelure dodge now!" Ingo yelled. Chandelure managed to dodge in time as Brav was getting closer. Due to the collision Brav had with the ground, he was unable to move. "Now's our chance! Chandelure use Flamethrower and Psychic so the power will increase!" The Luring Pokemon unleashed a burst of fire that was later mixed with the power of Psychic which gave the flames a light purple color. If this wasn't a battle, White could've said the fire was beautiful.
What should I do?! If I don't do anything, Brav will get burned. What would Black do? He would calm down and think of solutions. White thought as hard as she could for a solution when it finally hit her. "Brav, snap out of it! Now fly towards the flames using Aerial Ace while spining. Hurry!" Brav did not question her. It performed all the moves. Soon, Brav started getting surrounded by flames, but this time it was able to control the motion of the flames. Enlightened to realize this, Brav increased his speed.
"No way! This looks like an Aqua Jet except instead of water, it's fire! Incredible!" Ingo marveled at the sight of this beautiful technique. Brav found his target, Chandelure, and moved towards it. A second later, Chandelure was hit with the powerful move and fell to the ground rapidly. No doubt that it fainted.
"Return Chandelure. You were amazing!" Ingo told the Pokemon. "I guess you beat me...hehehe...you win!" He applauded White for her great effort and acomplishment.
"I wish I took part in that battle. But I still got to see moves and combos that I never in life expected to see!" Emmet laughed.
"We...We won?" White questioned herself. "Brav...We won! We made it through the Battle Subway! It was hard at first, but I think I'm getting used to this already! We won!" White started cheering and hugged Brav at the same time. "Black will be so proud of us! Thank you Brav for your help!"
"I can tell Black motivated you through most of this battle even though he's not here. Am I right?" Ingo politely asked. White started to slightly blush. She always had that habit of thinking or saying Black's name a lot of times.
"Yes, you're right. Black always has this spirit of determination and I can see that sparkle of excitement in his eyes every time he's about to battle." White smiled remembering all those times they spent together, but then her smile quickly disappeared. "I think Gigi, my Tepig, saw this too and that's why she left me. Since I didn't have that. She also motivates me to do my best. One day, I hope she will come back to the BW Agency. Come back to me..." White said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Well, I'm sure she will come back. You have a strong heart and will. And Black will be there for you too." Emmet stated.
"Thank you, Emmet. Black promised he was going to be there. I wonder if he is waiting for me at the final stop." White looked out the window, seeing the darkness of the tunnel.
"About two more hours until we reach Nimbasa City. It will be soon." Both Ingo and Emmet left, leaving White by herself.
Today has been such a great day. I beat Ingo and I'm almost there to see Black...It has also been a tiresome day. White yawned and her eyes started to slowly close. Gigi...Black...
Meanwhile...
"I have to get to Nimbasa City fast!" A young trainer exclaimed. "The Battle Subway should be over by now! I spend too much time battling Skyla and talking with the other gym leaders! If only I still had Brav with me right now, I would have been in Nimbasa already!" The thought of Brav made him quickly think of White. "I wonder how she did. I can't blame her if she lost all the battles." The boy started to laugh.
The boy was running through the city of Mistralton City, his messy black hair flowing in the wind. He was lucky enough to get a ride here from the gym leader, Skyla. Now all he had to do was pass Driftveil City and cross the Driftveil Drawbridge. That will surely take him a couple of hours considering how in order to get to Driftveil City, you have to pass Chargestone Cave. He could waste no more time if he wanted to make it to the Battle Subway. The boy sighed when he reached the entrance to Chargestone Cave. He never liked going through caves since there were always a lot of different passages that can lead to different locations. He was about to step in when...
"Hey You!" A voice came from above him. The young trainer looked up to see a female using a pink rabbit-eared Pokemon to float in the sky. She slowly started to descend. "What's your name?" She asked.
"My name? My name is Black," The boy answered "and I will-"
"Awesome! I found you! My name is Blue. Prof. Juniper said you would be here. Come on, you have to come with me." Blue grabbed Black's hands and pulled him towards her Pokemon. Black had no idea how to react. "By the way I love your blue jacket." She winked at him causing Black to slightly blush. He shook his head and snapped out of his trance.
"Where are you taking me, first of all?" Black questioned her.
"I'm taking you to Opelucid City. There we have a rendez-vous with someone. I don't even know who the person is but we will see once we're there." Blue answered his question as quickly as she could. She then noticed Black was trying to free himself from her grasp. "What's wrong?"
"I'm not going with you." Black answered her. "You see, I have a friend that's waiting for me in Nimbasa City and that's located opposite of Opelucid City."
"I'm sure your friend will understand considering the situation at hand." Blue reassured him. She was about to place a hand on his shoulder, when he moved away.
"You don't get it. She just finished going through some tough battling at the Battle Subway. In case she didn't do well, I promised I would be there when she finished. And I don't ever go back on my promises." Black managed to say the last statement with confidence. Blue looked down.
This boy reminds me of Red and how he never goes back on his promises. Prof. Juniper was right: Black is the right person for this mission. Blue thought. Blue looked up and she had a smirk on her face. "I see what's going on here. You like that girl don't you, Black?" She snickered. Black's face started turning a crimson red.
"Wait what? No, it's not like that at all! We're just friends! Besides she's also my boss!" Black started blurting out. Blue couldn't help but laugh.
"Hohoho! I'm right. You do like her! Anyways come with me! I'll take you to her and she can come with us to Opelucid City." Blue stated as she once again grabbed Black's hand. He was still blushing from what Blue said, but he knew that thanks to her, he will be seeing White sooner than he thought. "Wigglytuff, you don't mind carrying two people do you?" Blue asked her Pokemon who in return shook its head. "Great! Come Black! Just hold on to one of its legs." She motioned.
"A Wigglytuff? I never saw one before in Unova." Black marveled at the sight of the pink Pokemon. Wigglytuff took a deep breath and it started to inflate. Soon enough, it was floating in the sky with the two trainers hanging from its feet.
"A Wigglytuff can be found in every region, but they are very rare here in Unova." Blue informed Black. This just made Black even more impressed with the Balloon Pokemon. "Black how about we stop by a store in the way and get your friend some flowers, huh?" Blue suggest with that same smirk she had on before.
"I already told you I don't like her that way!" Black yelled with a flustered face, but then his tone got serious. "Why do you need me for anyways? And how come Prof. Juniper informed you of me? What exactly is going on?"
"All very good questions. You see, I was assigned to deliver some information to Prof. Juniper in Nuvema Town and along the way I came across Team Plasma." Blue started to explain when Black interrupted her.
"Team Plasma?! They were in Nuvema? They were close to my hometown then." Black made a fist. "Those villains don't know anything about Pokemon and people."
"You know about Team Plasma already?" Blue asked the boy.
"Yeah I do. They tried to take Musha and Litwick from Bianca and me. Their leader, N, managed to take White's Tepig." Black became enraged at the memory of seeing White's lonely, hopeless, scared face. "I will never forgive that guy for what he did!"
"Wait! Did you say the leader's name was N?" Blue had to make sure she heard correctly. Back at Nuvema, the man in charge of the Team Plasma grunts name was Ghetsis. "Are you sure it wasn't Ghetsis?"
"The actual leader of Team Plasma is N. But White and I did meet Ghetsis as well. He seems to be a sub-leader along with other seven old people known as the Seven Sages." Now it was Black's turn to inform Blue. "Can you continue what you were saying before?"
Blue nodded and explained everything to Black. From her talk with Prof. Juniper to what she had to do to find him. Black listened to everything she said intently and nodded his head once in a while. When Blue finished her story, she looked down and noticed they had reached Nimbasa City.
"Black, we're in Nimbasa!" Blue informed the trainer. Black couldn't help but feel this feeling of anxiety and wanted to get down as fast as he could. Wigglytuff was getting closer to the ground and when they were close enough, Black decided to let go and run towards the Battle Subway. He so likes her. Ah young love...It's a shame He will never like me. Blue let out a small sigh as she started making her way to the Battle Subway as well.
She entered the building just in time to see Black calling out to the girl. The girl who turned around had long black hair that was tied back in a ponytail. She wore a white tank-top with a black vest on top and short shorts.
"Hey Prez! How did it go?" Black finally asked when he was close enough. White grinned widely at Black.
"I managed to beat 20 trainers and went up against Ingo!" She was very excited to tell Black the next event. Black already knew what she was going to say. "I...I beat Ingo!"
"Congratulations! I should have never doubted you!" Black congratulated her and the next thing he knew, White was hugging him. His face started to turn red. He always slightly blushed when she grabbed his hands, but he never expected his face to burn up when she hugged him.
"Thank you Black for lending me Brav! He was very helpful!" White finally let go of Black and handed him Brav's pokeball. Black was about to put the pokeball away when White asked him who the girl was that was standing not too far behind him.
"Oh, she's Blue. She helped me get here faster. If it wasn't for her, I would still be in Mistralton City." Black explained. White nodded in understanding and thanked Blue. Blue was about to reply and tell her that they needed to go to Opelucid City right away when her xtransceiver started buzzing.
"Who could that be?" Blue asked herself as the small device tried to show the best image of the person, since they were underground. Blue could barely catch a glimpse of spiky brown hair appearing in the screen.
"Hey Blue! Where are you? My grandpa did inform you that we were to meet in Opelucid City didn't he?" A voice came from the device. Although Black and White didn't know who it was, Blue knew perfectly well who that voice belonged to.
"I'm on my way. I just needed to do something first." Blue replied. She knew what he was going to say next.
"Just hurry up...Pesky Girl!" As soon as he finished saying his statement, Blue turned the xtransceiver off.
Why did Prof. Oak have to send him to help me. This is just great. Blue sighed at the thought of the boy who was waiting for her in that big city.
"You heard him. Let's go to Opelucid!" Blue ordered the two trainers.
Who is that boy who is supposedly Blue's partner for the mission? You have to wait for the next chapter to find out!
Oshawott: Who is she kidding? We all know who he is. -_-'
Me: Hey!
