Lucian got up early the next day and used Air to fly to Virbank. There he caught a Frillish and named her Fish. He went back to Driftveil before Galen woke up. Once Galen woke up they went to Mistrsalton Cave. On the way they talked about yesterday's events.

"Your Pokémon were brutal in the World Tournament." Galen said.

Lucian shrugged. "I guess…"

"I just want you to know that I'm not upset about losing my Pokémon. I just caught them so I had no attachment to them." Galen put his hand on his friend.

Lucian smiled. "I just hate seeing unnecessary death."

"You can be so pure." Galen laughed.

"And you can be so umm… Not pure."

Galen laughed again. "Anyway, what was with the Shadow Triad? They said that Ghetsis hadn't ordered our deaths, but the grunts said that they had set a trap to kill us."

Lucian nodded. "Either Zinzolin and the grunts were operating outside of Ghetsis orders, or the Shadow Triad were."

"I can imagine Zinzolin going against Ghetsis, but not the Shadow Triad. Maybe-"

"Shush!" Lucian said. He spotted a Boldore. He followed her into the cave. There he caught her and named her Bolder. He and Galen went further in. When they got to the Guidance Chamber Lucian found an Aron. He caught him and named him Iron.

Next they went to Chargestone Cave. When they got there Bianca was there. She was talking to Leia and N.

"N?!" Galen said.

N turned to him. "I go by Luke now. N was just a name my father gave me to hide my true identity, as well as his."

"You're the king of Team Plasma! Your father killed my master!" Galen yelled.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry isn't going to bring him back!"

"Stop!" Leia yelled. "Sorry won't bring Master Kota back, but nothing will."

Galen paused. He took a deep breath. "You're right. I have to let it go. He wouldn't want to fall because of him."

"What are you doing here?" Lucian asked.

"We're investigating the prophecy of the Seeker of Truth and the Holder of Ideals." Leia said.

"So far we haven't found anything that dates back more than fifty years." Luke said.

"We believe that our father is being deceived and controlled by someone or something. We want to know who or what and why." Leia said.

"A master like Anakin Skywalker. Whoever or whatever must be powerful." Galen mussed.

"Could it be Zinzolin? He's the only one of the seven Sages still with Ghetsis." Lucian suggested.

Luke shook his head. "No. Ghetsis was controlling him. Zinzolin is only with Ghetsis because of a failure. This is his punishment. If he goes out of line Ghetsis will kill him and his Pokémon."

"Well it can't be the Shadow Triad." Galen said. "They are far too loyal."

"What about Colress?" Lucian said.

"Colress?" Leia said.

Lucian nodded. "He's a scientist Galen and I have come across. He seems rather suspicious."

Leia shook her head. "I have heard of him. He's a bit of a mercenary. Joining anyone whiling to fund his research."

"That leaves one option. One that Leia and I have been looking into." Luke said.

"Kyurem." Leia said.

"Kyurem? That's the Pokemon that split off of Zekrom and Reshiram. Why would it want to control the world?" Galen asked.

"Far as I know, all it would want is Zekrom or Reshiram. Maybe both so it can be whole again." Bianca said. "But that doesn't have anything to do with world domination."

"Knight Marek, Padawan Dayrider." Leia said. "I wat you to look into Kyurem. Luke and I will continue or investigation into the prophecy. If it is Kyurem, then it may have been the one to create the prophecy so Reshiram, and or Zekrom, would be awakened."

"Understood." Galen said. Lucian nodded. Galen and Lucian went deeper in the cave. Lucian caught a Joltik and named it Jolt.

When they arrived at Mistralton they went right to Route Seven. There Lucian caught a Zebstrika and named her Spark. Next they went to the Celestial Tower. Lucian caught a Litwick and named him Flame. They went to the Pokémon Center where Lucian, with a heavy heart, put Poison in the PC and took out Flame. He then spent time training Flame.

While training on Route Seven a young Lass came up to him and Galen.

"The League has a nice bounty on you two. 6,000 poke each." The Lass said.

"So?" Galen said.

"So, I'm here to cash in. I will make enough to buy new clothes. Duckletts, Unfezant!" She sent out three Pokémon for a triple battle.

Flame was already out. Lucian sent out Bug and Air to help him.

"Blow that candle out with Air Slash!" The Lass said.

"Flame!" Lucian cried. He reached for Flame's Poké Ball, but dropped it. He watched in horror as his new team member died, but then Bug leapt in the way and took the attack. His wounds were too severe.

"Bug… You saved Flame." Lucian felt anger. "Sand! Bury them with Rock Slide!"

"Kro!" Sand yelled. She buried not just the birds, but the trainer as well.

"Bug…" Lucian cried.

"Pin…sir…" Bug closed his eyes and passed.

"My Pokémon killed a human. And I don't feel guilty. Is that of the Dark Side?" He asked Galen as they buried Bug.

"Are you still angry?" Galen asked him.

"Not anymore." Lucian said.

"Then it's not of the Dark Side. This is part of being a Reshkari." Galen assured him.

"Have you or your Pokémon killed anyone?" Lucian asked.

Galen sighed. "Yes, but don't ask how many. My master took me on many missions where we were sent to take out a threat. My first kill was a nameless trainer." Galen looked at the nearby tower.

"We should go to Celestial Tower and ring the bell for Ordinary and Bug. And my Pokémon to." Galen said.

Lucian nodded. They went to the top and rang the bell. Doing so made Lucian feel better. When they returned to Mistralton Master Juniper was there.

"Master Juniper." Galen and Lucian bowed.

"Knight Marek. Padawan Dayrider. Leia said she wants you to see what you can learn about Kyurem. Lacunosa Town would be a good place to start. Defeat Skyla then met me here." Master Juniper said.

Galen and Lucian bowed and did as Master Juniper said.

"Skyla. I'm here to battle you." Lucian said.

"Well aren't you cute." Skyla teased. "I've been watching you train, and I have already concluded that you can't beat me."

Lucian ignored her and sent out Magnet. Skyla sent out Swoobat. Swoobat went in with Heart Stamp to break Magnet's sturdy. Magnet shocked Swoobat to death with Electro Ball. Swanna was up next. It used Featherdance to weaken Magnet. It did no good. It died to Electro Ball.

"This vwasn't supposed to happen." Skyla said. Sent out Skarmory. It came in with Steel Wing. Magnet barely felt it. It used Flash Canon to break Skarmory's Sturdy then used Electro Ball to kill it.

"Ugh! I won't forget this!" Skyla vowed.

Lucian shrugged and took his Jet Badge. By the time he and Galen met back up with Master Juniper it was late. The chose to rest for the night and leave for Lentimas Town early the next morning.
