I own none of the characters.

A/N: If I switch between using "sister" and "nee-san", just letting you all know now that they mean the same thing. (I blame Anime influence! XD)

Chapter 2 Ghetsis's Message:

"Here we are. Accumula Town. Sure is nice, huh, Hareta," Mitsumi asked the brown haired boy walking next to her. He nodded excitedly.

"I'm gonna go and explore," Hareta said cheerfully after feeding his Pidove an oran berry. He ran off before Mitsumi could say anything, leaving her standing in the middle of the small town.

"Well, what should I do now…," Mitsumi thought. She needed to get some supplies for their journey.

"Guess I should head to the Pokécenter," the teen murmured. She walked to the center with her new Servine close on her heels.

There was a wide variety of items at the Pokémart, with many types of pokéballs in boxes, different types of mail, potions, and other assorted items behind the counter.

"I would like three luxury balls, four escape ropes, and an Inquiry Mail, please," Mitsumi said as she took out her wallet. The clerk nodded and turned around to find the items.

"Here you go. That will be 340 Poké, please," the clerk said. Mitsumi passed the money and thanked the clerk as she bagged her items. Now that Mitsumi had gotten what she needed, she walked back outside to find a crowd of people in the center of the town. Hareta came running over.

"C'mon, Mitsumi! There's something going on over here," Hareta said excitedly as he dragged the green haired girl over to the edge of the group.

At the center of the make-shift stage stood a middle-aged looking man with tea green hair red eyes. The man wore large fancy robes with red and blue embroidered designs and a red eye-patch over his right eye. Surrounding him were six people wearing blue-gray and white hooded uniforms. Four of them held banners that were black and white with a P on top of a Z. It was Team Plasma.

"My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today, I would like to talk to you about Pokémon liberation…," Ghetsis said, starting his speech with a sweeping gesture of his hand.

"What's this guy talking about… liberating Pokémon…," some people in the crowd murmured. Others simply kept silent and shook their heads.

"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokémon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However... Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans... only assume that this is the truth…," Ghetsis continued. Hareta yawned and stretched.

"He's still talking. Man… what a windbag," Hareta said in a bored tone.

"Shh," said one elderly lady who happened to be standing nearby.

"…Pokémon are different from us humans. They are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pokémon," Ghetsis said raising his arms dramatically. People talked among themselves for a short while before quieting down for the speaker to continue.

"That's right! We must liberate the Pokémon! Then, and only then, will humans and Pokémon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon... and the correct way to proceed. We sincerely appreciate your attention," Ghetsis concluded with a bow. The man's eyes lingered on Mitsumi for a moment before turning and following the small group of Plasma representatives as they left for Route 2. The crowd of people whispered some more before shaking their heads and dispersing.

"Well, he sure was theatrical," Mitsumi commented. Hareta yawned again.

"Pretty boring, if ya ask me," the brown haired kid said.

"I thought it a very interesting speech," Mitsumi countered.

"Father has a way with words, doesn't he," a voice from behind stated causing the two to jump in surprise.

"Woah! Who are you?" Hareta demanded. How did this guy sneak up on him so easily, he had to wonder.

"My name is N," N said, introducing himself to Hareta.

"I'm Hareta, it's nice to meetcha," the brown haired boy responded.

"Hello again, nee-san. I see that you have become well acquainted with my friend," N said to Mitsumi with a light smirk before looking down towards Servine. The Servine walked up to him and spoke.

"Ser ser servine," the green snake Pokémon said. N grinned and nodded back to the Pokémon. Hareta also listened in on what the Pokémon was saying.

"Servine approves of you, Mitsumi," both N and Hareta said at the same time. Both looked at each other, startled by the fact that they both understood Pokémon.

"Amazing! You can understand Pokemon as well," N said excitedly. He gave a genuine smile to the boy.

"I was raised by the Pokémon back in Sinnoh, so I learned how to understand them," the young boy responded. N nodded to this.

"As was I, my friend," the green haired boy said. He then turned towards Mitsumi.

"You have made a very valuable friend, Sister. Would you two like to travel with me? I plan to defeat the Pokemon League and the champion Alder," N proposed.

"Hmm… I don't know. What do think, Hareta," Mitsumi said with a look of mock indecision, but her eyes shone with a teasing light. Hareta laughed.

"Sure! Why not. The more the merrier, right," Hareta replied. N smiled.

"Then let's go! Off to Route 2," Mitsumi responded. The two boys nodded in unison.

Route 2:

The three kids made their way through Route two with ease. N proved himself to be quite the capable trainer, and a responsible one at that.

"Servine, use vine whip on Patrat," Mitsumi called.

"Zorua, use shadow ball on Minccino," N called. The battle of the last trainer on the Route was defeated. After defeating a trainer, N would comment on that person's fighting technique and heal their Pokémon for them.

"N sure is amazing, isn't he? He might be even stronger than you, Mitsumi," Hareta stated.

"It is very possible that he is stronger than me," Mitsumi replied with a small grin.

"The next town, Striaton City, is just up ahead," N informed them after he jumped down from a tree. They hurried to the town. The first gym of Unova awaiting them.
