"LEIA! COME QUICK!"

Leia looked up from her lunch and saw Bianca and Cheren running towards her.

"What's wrong?" She asked

"Team Plasma stole something from the museum!"

Leia was shocked. She dropped off Nino and took out Caspar. Then she ran to the museum with her friends. She ran to the back and let out a sigh of relief. The White Stone she saw yesterday was still there. She didn't know why she was relieved though. She just was.

"So what did they steal?" Leia asked.

"They stole a Dragonite Skull." Lenora said walking into the room.

"Why would they do that?" Leia asked.

"Beats me, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that they stole something and I want it back!" Lenora shouted.

"Alright. I'll go look in Pinwheel Forest. Bianca, you and Cheren guard the museum." Leia said.

"OK." Bianca said.

"Understood." Cheren said.

"Leader Lenora, you should check Route Three."

"I can do that." Lenora said.

"What about me?"

Leia looked and saw Burgh, the Gym Leader of Castelia City.

"You can help me look in Pinwheel forest." Leia suggested.

"Will do." Burg nodded.

Leia and Burg left for the forest. "Burgh, guard the exit. I'll go deeper in." Leia ordered.

"You sure are bossy, but OK." Burgh mumbled.

Leia fought through grunt after grunt, as well as Pokémon Rangers, who were often Team Plasma sympathizers. As she battled Caspar evolved into Tranquil. Eventually she found the one with the Dragonite Skull.

"You are cornered. Give back the skull." Leia ordered. Catherine barked and took out the grunts Pokémon.

"You have fallen into our trap." The grunt said with a smirk.

"Indeed." A cloaked man walked up to Leia. "I am Gorm of the Seven Sages. I was once a Reshkari like you, until Ghetsis opened my eyes. I realized that a world built on Ideals is the best kind of world."

Leia took a step back. She knew that Gorm was a Reshkari Master. She stood no chance against him.

"Ghetsis has long been searching for you." Gorm said. "It is believed that you may be the Seeker of Truth."

"So you want to kill me because of some prophecy?" Leia asked.

"Oh no. It would be against his morals." Gorm said.

Leia rolled her eyes.

"Now you will come with me or-"

"Leia!" Burgh came running. Lenora came as well.

"You are one of Team Plasma's sages aren't you." Lenora said

"I am. Hmm… It seems we are outnumbered and out matched. Take the skull. We have no need of it." Gorm gave them the skull, then ran before anyone could act.

"I'll take the skull back. Thank you Leia." Lenora said.

"I'm going after them. It looks like they're going to Castelia." Burgh said.

Leia nodded. She went after Team Plasma as well. On her way out she caught a Sewaddle. She named him Byleth. She crossed Skyawrrow Bridge and was in complete awe. When she got to Castelia she wandered around until she found herself on Route Four. She found a Sandile and named her Tharja. She also found a Leaf Stone and used it to evolve Gregor into Simisage.

She explored Castelia while looking for Team Plasma. When she passed the gym she saw Cheren.

"Have you seen Team Plasma anywhere?" She asked him.

"No. Burgh said he lost them, so I had a chance to battle him." Cheren said. "I'm going to Route Four to train. If I see Team Plasma I'll let you know."

"Thank you." Leia entered the gym where Burgh was waiting.

"It seems your friend told you, but yeah. I kind of lost track of Team Plasma, but! Iris just called me with a new lead. Meet me at Prime Pier." Burgh left for the pier. Leia followed him.

When they got there they saw Iris and Bianca.

"Leia." Bianca sobbed. "Team Plasma stole my Munna."

"It seems they specifically targeted her since she's Leia friend." Iris said.

"They took the Dragonite Skull knowing Leia would go after them." Burgh said.

"That was a trap." Leia said. "This must also be a trap."

"But why? What do they want with you?" Bianca began to tremble.

"It seems that the leader of the Seven Sages thinks that I am the Seeker of Truth." Leia explained.

Iris gasped. "I've heard of that prophecy!"

Leia paused. She felt someone nearby. She focused her Aura and identified to person to be a Team Plasma Grunt. No doubt planning on leading her into an ambush.

"This way! If this is a trap for me I'll need all the help I can get." Leia said.

"Very well." Burgh said.

"We'll help you this one time." Iris said.

"I'll come too!" Bianca said

They followed Leia as she tracked down the grunt. It led them to a building outside the gym.

Burgh and Leia took out three of the grunts and went inside. When they got inside Ghetsis and two other sages were inside.

"Burgh. Leader of Castelia City Gym. And Iris. Gym apprentice." Ghetsis said. "I did not expect you to help a Reshkari."

"We just don't want you to get your hands on another one." Burgh said.

"Since you are here." Ghetsis turned to Leia. "Knight Naberrie. You have been told the story of when you were kidnapped as a baby, correct?"

Leia nodded slowly. "It was after my father disappeared. My brother and many other children were taken. Some, like me, were rescued. But other are still missing."

"The reason for that is because one day, and one day soon, two Heroes will emerge."

"You mean the Seeker of Truth and the Holder of Ideals?" Iris asked.

"Correct." Ghetsis nodded. "The two will clash for the fate of the world. I wish to prevent that. If the two are on the same side, then perhaps conflict can be avoided."

"What if one simply dies?" Leia asked.

"Then someone else will rise to take that one's place." Ghetsis explained.

"You believe that I am the Seeker of Truth?" Leia asked.

"I have had spies observing you since I saw you in Accumula Town. There reports have led me to believe so." Ghetsis said. "Join me Leia. With our combined strength we can end this destructive conflict and bring Order to the world."

"I'll never join you!" Leia shouted.

"Then you will face defeat at the hands of the Holder of Ideals." Ghetsis activated his blue blade. "Let us pass."

Leia reluctantly let them through. She knew she didn't stand a chance against three master level Aura users.

"Well I helped you." Burgh said. "Met me at my gym when you're ready to go back to hating each other." Burgh left.

"Look!" Bianca said. She picked up a Poke Ball. "They left my Munna! Umm, thank you everyone. I ah… I'm going to train." Bianca ran out.

Leia left to train. She was still bother by what Ghetsis said. Was he behind the kidnappings? Does he know what happened to Luke? If he was she doubted he'd admit anything.

"Pig?'

Leia looked at Ike. She realized that they had finished training and she didn't notice.

"I'm sorry. I was distracted. Let's go to the gym." She went to the gym and walked up to Bugh.

"I'm ready." She said.

"Great! My Bugs are ready to teach you a lesson!" Burgh said.

He sent out his first Pokémon. A Whirlipede. Leia sent out Ike. Ike used Ember. Whirlipede caught fire but used Poison Tail. Ike took the hit and used Ember again. Whirlipede became too burnt to move.

Burgh sent out Dwebble next. Ike started harassing Dwebble with Arm Thrust, but its shell was too strong. Dwebble used Smack Down. Ike shook off the hit and attacked with Arm Thrust again. This time he broke the shell, which allowed him to smash Dwebble.

Leavanny came next. Leavanny used Razor Leaf. Ike took it like a champ and responded with Ember. Leavanny, however, hung on. It used Razor Leaf again and dodged Ember. Then it used Protect to block the attack, followed by another Razor Leaf. Ike used this opportunity to set fire to the leaves which caused Leavanny to catch fire. It burned to the ground.

"Well you beat me." Was all Burgh could say.

Leia accepted the Insect Badge. She went to the Pokemon Center for the night, still wondering about what Ghetsis said.
