"I dislike Pokemon battles, but it's not a simple matter."
"Pokemon battles can be a component that can make changes to this world!"
The Mysterious N told the teen.
Standing in front of Victory Road waiting for the teen's arrival.
There are so many things the teen don't know about "That battle".
They enter the hidden castle, where the legendary battle happened three years ago.
Happy Reading!
Black 2 and White2 34: N
"Pokemon battles do nothing more than just hurting Pokemon… That's how I understood it."
Under the wind, and the bright light of the Gym badges shape surrounded them, shining in its badges' colours.
N stands on the stairs above the teen, he shakes his head, "This is why I hated battles. However it's not a simple matter… isn't it?"
Kyouhei arrives upon the entrance of Victory Road, N was standing there waiting for his arrival.
Since two years ago's damage, Victory Road and the Pokemon League have been renovated.
The hero he admire, said this to him. His opinion about Pokemon battles.
Something he didn't expect a hero hates.
Soothing wind blows against their shoulder, their hairs are waving in soft motions.
"Pokemon battle indeed decide on winners and losers, yet Pokemon battle can see wonderful things that everyone contributes. The effort, the bond… with you, your Pokemon, your opponent, and their Pokemon. Accepting different ideas, different beings, changes the worlds like a chemical reactions! Pokemon battles can definitely a component that can make changes to this world!"
N close his eyes, and smiles: "If Pokemon is with you, you will pass the Pokemon League and recognized your own ideal. That's what I see you in, Kyouhei. Please think about what I said earlier."
After saying these words, N left.
These words are deep in meaning, Kyouhei watches N's direction where he exsits with Zekrom, wonders his words.
"N… he's the 'Hero of Ideal'." Upon defeat Iris in Pokemon League, both her and Kyouhei are walking down the stairs back to the entrance of Pokemon League from the Champion hall.
"So he's that legendary hero… huh?"
"Three years ago, Team Plasma invaded Pokemon league, now their castle is still somewhere inside here." Iris laughs, "At that time I was still a GYM Leader training under my grandpa Drayden. Hahaha!" Now she has already become the Pokemon Champion in the Unova Region. She still has the innocent child act and laugh.
Watching Iris in her fancy clothing, Kyouhei remembers the day the news announced the new champion not too long ago on TV.
Iris must has work very hard at such young age to become a champion.
"I remember reading it on textbook, Zekrom follows the 'Hero of Ideal'. And there's a counter part… if I remember correctly." Kyouhei asks.
"That'll be Reshiram." Iris continues to walk down the stairs, while Kyouhei stops in the middle of the stairs upon hearing the name, "A pure white dragon with the power of flame on her tail."
"That's right Reshiram! Any idea where it might be?" Kyouhei thought, maybe he can acquire Reshiram and be the new hero. He holds up both of his fists up front and nervously looks at Iris. Since Iris is specialize in Dragon Type Pokemon, she might know something. Afterall, she is the grand daughter of Drayden's and great-great Grand Daughter of the Lacunosa Town's elder. Not to mention, a new champion in Unova.
"Nope. But…" Iris stops, she turns her head looking up at Kyouhei who's standing on the upper level of the stairs, "Reshiram has a trainer already."
"A trainer?" Kyouhei stops, for a moment he believe he may already know who that trainer is. Cold winter wind is blowing from the west against both of their hair.
"Yup! But right now she's probably in another region training her Pokemon."
Kyouhei closes his mouth nervously.
"I can't wait to see her again." Iris smiles and continues to walk down the stairs.
This trainer sure been mention multiple times by everyone in this region.
Kyouhei slowly following Iris walking down the stairs.
He remembers that day, Hugh, Mei and he were in Hugh's house watching the news, when Team Plasma invaded the Pokemon League, they couldn't catch anything due to huge explosion of both red flames and blue lightings.
It was an epic battle.
Kyouhei remembers when he look at Hugh's face, he was biting his nails holding in his anger.
Until then he's really eager to know who was in that battle, and how the battle was like.
Hugh already has his own trained Pokemon since young after his sister's Purrlion was stolen. After that event in the Pokemon League, Kyouhei decides to also practice pokemon battling, and be part of Hugh's help when they are old enough to train their Pokemon.
"Inside the Pokemon League huh?"
Lucario stands in front of Kyouhei, closes his eyes.
"Can you find a secret path here, Lucario?"
"Arr…" Lucario opens his eyes, anticipates and jump to a different direction they come from.
Kyouhei watches Lucario and runs after him.
With all the running, Kyouhei doesn't know what places has they gone to in this Victory Road. Espcially, this place is already confusing as it is.
"Wai… Wait up Lucario…" Kyouhei is running out of breath from running.
As Lucario skits and lands on the ground, he turns back watching his master who looks like he's running out of breath, trying his best catching up to him.
Lucario smirks.
Kyouhei stops in front of Lucario, hanches down with left hand on the bend down knee and wiping sweat off his face with his right hand.
Lucario gestures by pointing his head towards the east "Arr…" He mumbles.
Kyouhei looks up.
There's piles of grass on the ground, but there's only wall of flat rock mountain surface.
"Is the entrance there?"
"Arrr!" Lucario nods, and jumps in inbetween the two large bushes of grass.
Kyouhei runs over, look around the surface of that area that Lucario believe is the entrance.
He reaches his hand over, his hand seems to have enter some kind of barrier.
Suddenly Lucario alerts to something, Kyouhei pulls his hand back and look over to him.
A dark sihourette attack is coming towards them in a fast speed.
Lucario jumps in front of Kyouhei, and holds both of his hands up overlapping each other.
A pink barrier blocks the attack, causes explosion.
Kyouhei blocks the gusts blow by the attack with his arm, he looks over.
"Who are you?"
A dark fox Pokemon with red ascent jump out of no where, standing in front of them.
"Zoroak?" Kyouhei leans forward, "Are you N's Zoroak?" He asks.
Zoroak reacts to Kyouhei's question, he squints the eyes.
"ARR, lucarrrioo! ARR!"
"ZOROAKK! ZOOR!"
Kyouhei doesn't understand what they both are saying, but he can tell that Lucario is trying to explain to Zoroak why they are here.
Zoroak jumps up in the mid-air and transform into a large dark Pokemon, lands on the ground with his weight, causes shaking on the mountain.
"Zekrom?!" Kyouhei manages to stable his balance from the shaking of the heavy stomp when Zoroak transformed into Zekrom and lands on the ground.
Zekrom opens his bright red eyes, leans his body forward pushes his mouth open to show off his mighty roar.
Strong gust blows grass and sand off the mountain by small pieces, Lucario blocks in front of Kyouhei.
Kyouhei has his arm blocking himself, his eyes tightly close.
"Just like Zorua, Zoroak has the power of transform huh?" Kyouhei tries to peek out under the huge gust.
"Zorua, Feint Attack!"
A voice of a girl, a small fox Pokemon appears and attacks Zekrom multiple times.
The fox lands on the ground with his light weight: "ZORUAA!" He barks.
Zekrom immediately stops the attack, watching this little guy.
Zekrom transforms back to Zoroak.
"Zoruuuaa! Zoorr!"
"Zorok?" Zoroak tiled his head.
"Kyouhei!"
Lucario and Kyouhei look over where the female voice come from, Mei is running towards their way up ahead.
"Mei!"
Mei stops in front of Kyouhei and Lucario, with both of her arms wide open: "Please don't attack us Zoroak, we are here to see N! We are not your enermy!"
"Zorr…" Zoroak grins his teeth, "ZORKK!" Zoroak refuses.
"ZORUUAAA!" Zorua tries to barks out as loud as he can to convince Zoroak.
"ZOROAK!" Zoroak answered back right away with cold tone.
Zorua grins his teeth.
"We are here to see N! We are not here to disturb you!" Kyouhei tries to explain.
Zekrom seems to pause for a bit, he squints his eyes.
"Stop, Zoroak." A gentle voice from behind, a man appears walking through what it seems to be wall of rocks outside of the mountain of Victory Road, where Kyouhei and Lucario were about to enter.
"N!" Kyouhei and Mei look over.
N stops by the entrance, looking expressionless.
"What a relief…" Mei sighs with smile.
"N, we are…"
"What are you doing here?" N's cold tone silents both of them. Suddenly, N doesn't sound so friendly anymore.
"… Well we heard that your castle is near by... and…" Kyouhei mumbles.
"…" N looks at Kyouhei and Mei, "My castle isn't welcoming anyone." N closes his eyes, "It's just an empty castle. Only occasionally wild Pokemon come in. Please go home." N turns his back towards Kyouhei and Mei, and about to take his step back into the cave.
"… I..!" Mei steps up, "I have something to ask you."
N stops.
"I want to understand Kyurem… Please tell me more about him!"
N slightly turns his head.
"I as well! I wanted your advice of how to be a hero! I want to know about that 'trainer'. Please allow me to battle Zekrom!" Kyouhei steps forward. Then he remembers what N said back when he saw him in front of Victory Road, "I understand… you don't like Pokemon battles… But…"
"What Zekrom seek for, it's a hero with a great ideal." N says.
Both Kyouhei and Mei silences.
"Very well…" N steps into the cave.
Zekrom turns back into Zoroak.
Mei bends down and pick up Zorua with both her arms, Zorua jumps onto her and they all follow after N.
Upon enter that entrance, a large castle is by the ground, with a long metal path connect from the soil where they are standing, and to this gianomous castle. It was probably shiny and golden before, now it's all cover in dust and dirt. Kyouhei and Lucario proceed to the latter, Mei looks around her. She can't see the bottom of this place, she gulps. Surprisingly this path is stable, and isn't shaky.
They enter the castle on the side way.
N and Zoroak already standing inside of the castle waiting.
Kyouhei and Mei looks around here.
It's a very luxury castle, but the place is breaking down. Ceilings are already fallen out multiple times, rocks everywhere on the ground. So many water strings and rooms are being block.
This luxury place… is a huge mess now…
"This is Team Plasma's castle." N turns around, back facing both of them, "This is the place where Ghetsis' dream was ruined and destroy for the first time." N turns to Kyouhei and Mei, "Inside the deepest chamber of this castle, there's a place that holds a special meaning to me."
Kyouhei turns to N.
"Special place?" Kyouhei repeats quietly.
"If you want to battle me, then we must do it over there."
"Let's go." N turns around and starts walking towards the stairs not too far away.
Kyouhei and Mei exchange a look with each other and follow him along with Lucario, Zoroak and Zorua on Mei's arm.
"I wonder what's in those rooms…" Mei notices the room right beside them before they are about to go on the stairs.
Kyouhei glance over to the same direction.
Mei suddenly trip and almost fall, Kyouhei manages to catch her arm with his single arm.
"Be careful."
Mei nods.
Both of them look down, there are different sizes of rocks around, they gatta watch their footsteps.
Zorua who was walking on the ground jumps onto her shoulder.
"If you want to go in there…" N stops and stares at that room.
For a moment, both Kyouhei and Mei feel that look was sorrowfulness.
"I don't really need to…" Mei waves both of her hands.
N remain silent, and walks inside that room. Kyouhei and Mei exchange a look with each other, and follow him along.
This is a kid's room, the light inside this room is dim. Music box is playing off-cored music. The music somewhat gives Kyouhei and Mei the chills with the tone and beat.
The room is destroy just like other places inside of this castle.
The toy train truck is not line up properly, the train is lying on the ground side ways. And the other part of the train rail is all the way on the other side, leaning inbetween the basket ball and the skating board area. The indoor basketball net falls over on pile of toys in a tall yellow circular bucket.
"What happen here?" Kyouhei asks, he glances over to N waiting for answer.
N still has that sorrow look on him, remain quiet and stares at this room.
"This place…" N breaks his silence, "This room was my entire world…"
Kyouhei and Mei gasp.
"What do you mean?" Kyouhei asks.
N takes a few step, walking towards the broken toy train track. He stares down at the pieces of different colour tracks split all over the place.
"When I was little…" N speaks, "I was abandon in the deep woods, and I was raised by the Pokemon who lived in that forest." He lifts his head up, "Then one day…" N turns over to Kyouhei and Mei who are standing behind him listening. "A man appeared in front of me, claimed that he's my father."
"Ghetsis…" Kyouhei mumbles that name with slight rage in his mind. He frown, it irritates him thinking about this person's name.
N closes his eyes: "He gave me the name of 'Harmonia'... Brought me the ways to be the King, bring me Pokemon who have shut their heart towards human, that I can't communicate with…" N looks on the ground.
Mei looks around this room, this room is surely well decorated, and look at the amount of toys and facility they provide. It's very lonely… She looks over to N, this is the sorrow feeling that she senses from N. Her tears slowly gather around her eyes.
N shakes his head with the smile: "Well that's enough about this room. I'll be outside." N walks pass Kyouhei and Mei and about to exsit the room.
N stops a small distance away from Mei, back facing her. "Please stop. This isn't worth wasting your tears."
Mei looks over, her eyes are shaking.
N exsits the room.
Mei and Kyouhei watch N exsit the room, they exchange a look with each other.
"There are a lot of scratches around here…" Kyouhei looks on the ground and around the walls.
"He probably hasn't return here for a while."
Mei nods.
She senses Kyouhei places his hand on her shoulder, she looks up.
"Let's go."He let go of his hand and walks towards the exsit.
"Zoru…" Zorua looks upset with both of his ear down, watching Mei.
Mei wipes her tears, and follow along with Kyouhei.
The bright light comes through as they exsit the room, both of them cover their eyes trying to adjust to the lighting.
N's leaning against the pillar near his room. He turns around and walk towards the stairs silently.
There are so many broken pieces of pillars, and ceiling parts, a lot of rooms are block from entering.
"This is the place." N stops in front of the room with two fancy door stands. He enters the room, Kyouhei and Mei continue to follow him along.
The room is dark, piles of rock everywhere on the luxury ground. There seems to be a large hole on the wall being block by multiple rocks that fell from the ceiling.
There must be some incredible battle here…
Kyouhei looks on the ground, cracks , burning marks are every where on the tile of the floor.
It used to be a very luxury and shiny floor, it becomes all rough.
"It was two years ago." N speaks, Kyouhei and Mei are looking at his back where is facing both of them. N lifts his head up looking to the ceiling, "For the sake of Pokemon… For my ideal world, I put my beliefs on the line and battle a certain Trainer. Right here… But I lost… However at the same time, I've learned that to make the world a better place, you must accept different ideas. That's the formular that can change the world."
"Incredible…" Kyouhei expresses with a light breath.
"Kyouhei." N turns towards Kyouhei and Mei who's standing behind him.
"Y…Yes!" Kyouhei suddenly feels the tention.
"You said you want to become a hero." N stares right into his eyes, "I want to see if you are strong enough to do that. Is your dream you seek is the ideal one? Are you strong enough for it?" N asks.
N holds up a Pokeball in his hand, and throws up in the mid-air: "Zekrom…"
The Pokeball spins, it opens, Zekrom comes out in a red lazor light and lands on the ground, with light groan.
"Prove to Zekrom and I, if you are worthy to be the hero."
Kyouhei reaches over to his Pokeball on his belt, he swallows. Looking at this fearsome dragon that's standing before him and Mei.
"Kyouhei…" Mei looks over.
"Are you ready?" N asks.
"One vs. one?" Kyouhei asks.
"You can use as many as you want to."
"Well then…" Kyouhei grabs onto the first Pokemon he can think of, and throw it on the field, "Go Emboar!"
Emboar arrives on the ground, roars with confidence, and both arms wide open.
"That's a great look on your Emboar. This definitely brings me back the old times." N smirks, he pulls out his arm, "Zekrom, Fusion Bolt!"
Zekrom flaps his wings and fly up in mid-air, his tail charges up with blue thunderbolt while it spins. Blue electricties are gathering all over the place.
This definitely explains where all the cracks on the ground come from.
"Emboar, use Giga Impact!"
Emboar charge himself up with orange energy, and burst into a purple sphere with orange light spinning around, he jumps up towards Zekrom, and directly hits onto Zekrom.
Emboar lands back on the ground, as expected on a legendary. No scratch at all…
"Emb…" Emboar is irritated, he knows he must charge up again before he can use another move.
Fusion bolt attacks towards him. Direct hit on Emboar.
Emboar instantly fainted and unable to battle.
"Emboar, come back!" Kyouhei enlarge Emboar's pokeball and takes him back in.
"Tsk…" Kyouhei grins his teeth, this isn't easy as expected.
"Well then… what will be your next move?"
"LUCARIO!" Kyouhei throws another Pokeball out on the field, lucario lands on the ground, "We are just getting started!" Kyouhei frowns.
N smiles: "This is exciting."
