"What's keeping Bianca?" Leia's friend Cheren asked.

"I'm here!" Bianca called as she ran up the stairs.

"Since we are all finally here Lets open the box Prof. Juniper gave us." Leia said. She opened the box and found three Poké Balls. She had been thinking about her choice for some time now and chose Tepig. She named him Ike.

"I want Snivy!" Bianca said.

"I'll take Oshawatt." Cheren said.

"We should have a Pokémon battle!" Bianca said.

"What's the point of that?" Cheren asked. "Leia's going to win since Prof. Juniper and her mother have been training her since was a baby."

"Are you scared?" Leia joked. "You'll never become strong if you never challenge foes stronger then you."

"Fine." Cheren said. He sent out Oshawott. Leia sent out Ike.

"Oshawatt Tackle!"

"Ike jump out of the way then use Tackle!" Ike did as instructed and Oshawott into a bookcase.

"I knew I'd lose, but this feeling. I'm finally a trainer." Cheren said.

"My turn!" Bianca said. "Snivy Tackle!"

"Ike take the hit and use Tackle!" Ike did so and knocked Snivy into a plant.

"I won." Leia said. She took a look around her room. "Umm…."

"Your mom might not be happy about this." Cheren said.

"What is going on up here?" Padme Naberrie called. She walked up the stairs and sighed. "Leia…"

"Mother I'm sorry." Leia said.

"It's fine. I'll clean it up. You go to Master Juniper and get you first solo mission." Mrs. Naberrie said.

"Thank you." Leia and her friends ran out the door.

"I need to stop at home first." Bianca said. Leia followed her.

"Daddy! I got a Pokemon! I'm going to help Leia in the war and-"

"WHAT?! You! Fight in the war?!" Bianca's father said.

"I'm sixteen. I'm old enough to fight." Bianca said.

"I don't care!" Her father said.

Bianca sighed. "Let's just go to the lab."

At the ab the meet with Prof. Juniper.

"Hello." The Professor said. "I am sure you know why I gave you Pokémon."

"It is so we can fight in the war between the Pokémon League and Team Plasma." Leia said.

"Correct. Leia you may have been a Reshkari Knight for a while now, but this will be your first mission without me. As such I gave Bianca and Cheren Pokémon so they can help you."

"The war has been heating up. Soon the entire region will be engulfed in it." Cheren said.

"Yes." Prof. Juniper said. "Because the top members of Team Plasma are Aura users the Elite Four and Gym Leaders have become hostile to the Reshkari. And because the Reshkari do not condone the actions of Team Plasma, they are also hostile to us."

"So which side do we chose?" Bianca asked.

"Neither." Leia said. "We are our own side. However, should we prove ourselves to the League, the Gym Leaders may join us."

"I see!" Bianca said.

"Good! Now here is a Poké Dex and some Poké Balls." Master Juniper gave them each a Poke Dex and some Poke Balls. "Meet me in Accumula Town alright?"

On their way out they ran into Leia's mother.

"Leia. Are you sure about this?" Padme asked. "You have only two more years until you can run for city council."

"I'm sure mother." Leia said. "I am a Reshkari, just like father. I will follow in his footsteps and bring peace to Unova."

Padme smiled. "You are your father's daughter. If he was here he'd be so proud of you. Now go and have an adventure. Maybe you'll find clues as to what happened to him."

"I will. I know this isn't what you wanted for me, but…" Padme put her hand on her daughter. Leia smiled and left for Route One. On Route One Leia caught a Lilipup and named her Catherine. After a little training she caught to the other in Accumula Town.

"Knight Naberrie ad Bianca." Master Juniper said. "Behind me is a building Leia is quite familiar with. The Pokémon Center. They heal your Pokémon and sell items."

"Oh!" Bianca went in. Leia followed her. After her Pokémon were healed and her bag stocked she went outside.

"What?" Leia said. There was a crowd.

"Leia come here." Cheren said. "It's Team Plasma."

A man with green hair, obviously dyed, and a strange clock began to talk. "My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. I wish to talk to you about Pokémon Liberation. For far too long Pokémon have been used as tools of war. Members of the various Pokémon Leagues say that Pokémon are their friends, and yet many have forced them to fight to the death for their beliefs. I say it is time to put an end to all this suffering. But how, you may ask." He walked back and forth.

"By liberating Pokémon. Without them people will lose the means to wage wars. Order will be brought to this world. Even now the Unova division of the Pokémon League wages war against us, Team Plasma, simply because we refuse to see things their way. I shall leave you with that thought. I trust you will all make the right decision."

Ghetsis was escorted away by some Team Plasma Grunts.

"Your Pokémon. Just now it said…" A young man said.

Leia looked at him. "What about it? You can understand it?"

"Yes. I have a strong understanding of Pokémon. My name is N."

"I'm Leia and this is my friend Cheren." Leia looked at N. "Are perhaps an Aura user?"

"I am. You seem to be one too. I wish to better hear your Pokémon. They say a battle is the best way of doing that, but I'm not so sure. Pokémon shouldn't be forced to do that."

"Pup pup!" Catherine said.

"Looks like Catherine wants to battle you." Leia said.

"But why?" N questioned. "Very well. I will battle you." N sent out a Purrloin. Catherine used Tackle and knock the Purrloin over. She bark. Yelling at it to get up.

"Your Lilipup only likes to fight because that is all it knows." N said.

Catherine tiled her head in confusion. So being raised to fight by her parents was bad?

"I only caught her a few hours ago." Leia said. "You're not making any sense."

"I'm sorry. I just have trouble understanding why Pokémon like to fight. Is it because people make them, or is it a natural intstint. The battle is over." He picked up his Purrloin and left to heal it.

Leia shook her head. Weird guy. She went to Route Two and caught a Patrat and named her Nino. When she got to Striaton City she found an abandoned Pansage.

"What happened to you?" She asked it.

"Pan pan pansage." It said.

"Your name is Gregor and your trainer was killed by the gym leaders?"

"Pan."

Leia frowned. "I take you with me and help avenge your trainer."

"Pan?" Gregor asked.

"Yes. Now come. I have to train you." Leia spent the rest of the day training. The next day she challenged the gym.

"I am here to challenge you!" She said.

"Sure. I am Cress." One of the leaders said. "These are my brothers Cilan and Chili. First I must ask you-"

"I am a Reshkari." Leia proudly stated. "I'm on neither side."

Cress looked impressed. "Very well. I will have to punish you for crimes against the Pokémon League."

Leia didn't bother asking him what crimes. She knew it would be a waste of time. She sent out Catherine. Cress sent out Lilipup. Catherine slammed into Lilipup with Tackle. Lilipup shook it off ad used Work Up followed by Bite. Catherine refused to relent. She slammed into it again and knocked into a wall. It fell with a thud.

"My Lilipup." Cress said. Angered he sent out Panpour.

Leia switched to Gregor. "PAN!" Gregor cried. He used Vine Whip after Vine Whip until Panpour was dead.

"That Pansage." Cress said. "I wonder if its trainer was the last challenger we had. Its trainer sacrificed herself to protect it."

"It was." Leia said. "Why did you kill Gregor's trainer?"

"That is what you get when you go against the Pokémon League." Chili said with a shrug. "Any way, here's your badge."

Leia accepted the Trio Badge. Since her team fought hard she gave them the rest of the day off.
