Chapter 11: Plans are put into action
Stars and a full moon lit the desk up as I began to develop more of a plan on paper. I sloppily began to scribe what would eventually become phase one of my soon to be elaborate plan. Phase one: Trust. No matter what they ask, do it. Just do it. Phase too- I thought back to some of my tutoring that White had given me, and erased the 'too' and rewrote it correctly.
Phase two: Twist it. Once you've gained enough trust, twist it. Say you're going somewhere in the castle. If you're with an escort, then be sure to breeze past the place that Kyurem may be held in, to get a feel of how to get into the room. If you're alone, linger around the suspected area and observe the people that come in and out, and how they come in and out. Phase three: Infiltrate Kyurem's prison and free him. As soon as that Pokémon gets out, make all hell break loose, have him destroy this horrid place, leave it in ruins. Phase four: I hesitated before writing the only logical thing that had come to mind: Fake your death. During the rampage of Kyurem, make it look like you have died. Whether it's getting 'crushed' by Kyurem, or getting hit by hyper beam in an 'attempt to clam Kyurem.' Phase five: Go home and never look back. I finished, feeling satisfied with my new plans.
I tucked them away along with my letter before going to bed along with Crystal, who passed out as soon as I said the words 'stay up late and work'. "Night, Crys." I whispered, sleep easily overcoming me.

'Then Save her. Win her back.' White's words echoed in Black's mind, giving him a headache. He had decided to wait until he made up his mind before completely giving into Team Plasma's demands before releasing his team. Until he made up his mind, he decided to hide in the cold storage: where Team Plasma had hid from himself and Clay while he was on his journey. Emboar kept a warming fire going day and night to avoid frost bite.
"Archeops, come on out." He said mechanically, pushing the small button to release his flying Pokémon. "Cheops?" The Pokémon squawked, looking expectantly at Black, as if expecting an explanation. Black stayed silent, stroking the flying rock type while he let his mind relax for a single second. Black gasped as an idea entered his mind. "I've got it!" Black smiled, standing up. "Archeops, they may not allow people to leave Unova without a check-over, but they have nothing against Pokémon! Buddy you've gotta go Mount Silver and get Champion Red to get over here and help!" Black said, looking at his Pokémon. "But first, please go get me some paper, a pencil as well. I need to tell him what's going on!" Archeops nodded, leaving the cold storage, then coming back about twenty minutes later with a used-note pad and a pen. "Arch!" Archeops cried, looking quite proud as Black took the items from it.
Champion Red,
This is a call for help from Unova. Team Plasma has liberated every Pokémon from every person- good or bad. I've sent my Pokémon to hopefully get your assistance in this war. Team Plasma has kidnapped one of my good friends and her Eevee as well as Kyurem. With that kind of power they could easily take over any of the other regions, including your own. Please help Unova. I am hiding out in the largest cold storage vault in Driftveil City. Archeops knows where I am. Please come Champion Red.

"You sure you can do this?" I asked Crystal, as we sat on the balcony. Crystal rose an eyebrow at me. (Um I've been practicing my flying for like forever. I'm ready.) I sweat dropped. "Yeah, if forever means two days." I sighed, patting her head before taking the note from my bag and giving it to Crystal. "And you know how to find him, right?" Crystal nodded. (Yep! I may have to ask some Tranquill and Watchhog, but don't you worry. I'll find him and be back in a few days. I promise. You just have to worry about Kyurem.) Crystal smiled, allowing me to tie the note to her leg just in case it slipped from her vine whip while she flew. "Bye girly." I whispered, hugging her before allowing her to fly away from the castle.

Archeops flew through the sky with ease, Black's note to Red firmly grasped in his talons. Anytime a populated area came into Archeops' view, he made sure to go above cloud level so no one would suspect that Archeops was up to no good. Archeops had just passed the majority of Castelia City and was heading for the harbor, hoping to shadow a ferry that was heading for Kanto or Johto so he wouldn't get lost or too tired.
(Coming through!) Archeops jerked his head off to see a… Leafeon?! flying very quickly towards him. Archeops, baffled at the fact that a Leafeon was even in this region, stood paralyzed in shock. The Leafeon skidded to a halt in the sky, glaring at him. (What's the big idea?! I'm trying to save Unova and Kyurem here and you're just going to sit and stare at me like an idiot?) The Leafeon snapped, looking quite angry. Archeops forced himself to not glare back at her, not wanting to start a fight and draw attention from below. (Hey, it's not every day you see a Leafeon around here period. Now a flying Leafeon? I didn't think even in my wildest dreams that I'd see something like that.) Archeops retorted, hoping to poke more into what she was doing up here. (Hmph! Well it's not every day that you see an extinct Pokémon out here you know.) The Pokémon snorted, smirking stupidly at Archeops.
In an attempt to change to subject, Archeops took a different approach. (What are you doing up here?) He asked, eyeing the note tied to the Pokémon's ankle. The Leafeon took a look at Archeop's talons before responding. (What are you doing?) (Hey I asked first!) (Well I'm a lady so I think I deserve my answer first!) (What 'lady' smirks and glares and has a witty comeback to everything I have to say?) (Do you know where Pokémon Trainer Black is?) The sudden question made Archeops tongue tied, not sure what to say other than the truth.
(Black? He's my trainer.) Archeops responded, his eyes narrowing. (Do you happen to know a girl called Jemma?) Leafeon gasped before quickly hiding her surprise with another smirk. (It just so happens that I live with a human girl called Jemma.) The two Pokémon immediately nodded at each other, knowing exactly why they were out. (My trainer is in the largest cold storage vault just outside of Driftveil city.) (Jemma is in N's Castle, level twelve.) The two exchanged respectful gazes before continuing to fly.
