Cheren and Leia walked with each other to Twist Mt. On their way they met Alder.
"Hello you two." Alder said.
"Tell me. If the Elite Four kicked you out, why are you still considered the Champion?" Cheren asked.
"That's because none of them are stronger than me. Even if they were to combine their strength, I'd still beat them." Alder explained.
"So how did they kick you out?" Cheren asked.
"If all four of the Elite Four agree on something, then they have the power to openly oppose the Champion." Leia said.
"You sure know you politics." Alder said.
Leia smiled.
"Yes. However the four, no matter the region, rarely agree on anything. Unless the Champion tells them to." Alder said.
"Hmm." Cheren rubbed his chin. "I think I understand. So they can oppose you politically, but you are still the Champion unless one of them can defeat you in a battle."
"Correct." Alder said. "Now I have to train. N will likely want to battle me soon, so I must prepare."
Leia stepped inside Twist Mt. There she caught a Boldore and named her Petra. She left the mountain and went to Mistralton Cave to catch an Axew. She named her Nowi. She went into the Guidance Chamber and caught a Woobat and named him Ashe. In Dirftveil City she found a Frillish. She named him Felix.
She went to Route Seventeen and caught a Alomola and named her Flayn. On Route Eighteen she found a Sawk and named him Chrom. At an abandoned laboratory known as the P2 Lab she found an Audino. She named her Bernadette. She also found an egg. On her way back to Mistralton the egg hatched over Skyarrow Bridge. It hatched into a Larvesta. He was named Roy.
When she got back to Twist Mt. Clay was waiting for her.
"There you are." Cheren said.
"You two again?" Clay grumbled. "It seems this war is heating up. Us Gym Leaders are planning a full scale assault on Team Plasma's HQ once we find it. You two can join us if ya want. We'll let you know."
"Thank you." Leia said.
Leia and Cheren went deeper until they found two Team Plasma Grunts.
"I'll hold them off." Cheren said.
Leia nodded and left. Cheren was done in a few minutes. They healed at the Pokémon Center then split up.
Leia went to Dragonspiral Tower to catch a Mienfoo. She named her Anna. In Icirrus City she found a Shelmet. She named him Donnel. On Route Eight she caught a Palpitoad and named him Frederick. In the Moor of Icirrus she found a Stunfisk and named him Libra.
She trained in the Moor of Icirrus. As they trained a water attack was shot out at them.
"Dedue!" Dedue blocked the hit, but he wasn't hurt. He killed the Alomola who attacked him. Then a Marractus used Giga Drain. Leia realized too late that Dedue had been hit by Soak.
"Con!" Dedue fell to the ground. Olivia came out and killed the Marractus. She saw the trainer and killed her too.
"Dedue… I should have payed attention." Leia began to cry. Jaffar dug a grave for his friend and wondered how many more would die.
Leia took Chrom out and trained him. Once Chrom was ready Leia went to the gym.
"I am Brycen." The gym leader said. "My Pokémon will freeze you."
Brycen lead with Vanillish. Lia lead with Chrom. Chrom snapped Vanillish in half with Brick Break. Beartic was next. Chrom used Brick Break. Beartic fell down, but got right back up and used Swagger.
Leia switched to Dimitri. Beartic used and drowned Dimitri.
"WHAT?!" Leia yelled. "HOW?! DIMITRI!"
Jaffar jumped in and killed Beartic with Rock Slide. He killed Brycen's Cryogognal the same way.
"Chrom this is your fault!" Leia shouted. "If you hadn't hit yourself in confusion Dimitri would still be alive! You're lucky I need you."
Leia grabbed her badge and stormed out. She wouldn't even be able to bury Dimitri as he had fallen in a crevice in the gym. She grabbed Frederick and trained him. After training Frederick evolved into Seismitoad. Leia headed to the Pokémon Center to turn in for the night, when she sensed something.
"I know you're there. Show yourselves!" She commanded.
"You are powerful. Just as Ghetsis said." The Shadow Triad appeared. "We have a message for you. Team Plasma has taken Dragonspiral Tower. There Zekrom sleeps. N has gone to awaken Zekrom. Just try and stop him."
Cheren came running with Brycen. The Shadow Triad vanished.
"Cheren! We have to head to Dragonspiral Tower." Leia said.
"I was just about to tell you that. I saw Team Plasma enter it." Cheren, Leia and Brycen ran to the tower.
Bianca and the elder Master Juniper was there.
"Knight Naberrie!" Master Juniper said. "Take Cheren in. Bianca and I will stay and protect the town."
"Understood." Leia said. Leia Cheren and Brycen ran inside. The three pushed aside any and all Team Plasma grunts. As they climbed Leia could feel darkness growing. She ran ahead and got to the top first. There she saw N and Zekrom. N's Aura had become dark. He had given into the Darkside to awaken Zekrom.
"So you have come." N said. He turned around. "Behold! The Legendary Dragon Zekrom! With Zekrom's help I shall take over the world. Then all trainers will be made to release their Pokémon. Soon there shall be an end to all fighting."
Leia grimaced. She was too late.
"If you wish to stop me, then you will need to find Reshiram. I know you will. It is our destinies to battle each other, my sister."
Before Leia could recover N left on Zekrom.
"Leia… Did N just call you his sister?" Cheren asked as he climbed the last of the stairs.
"We should leave. Let us met the others and decide what to do next." Brycen said.
Leia was too stunned to argue.
The met back with Master Juniper and Bianca. Alder was also with them. Cheren explained what had happened.
"So the prophecy is coming true." Alder said. "We need to find Reshiram."
"Relic Castle was ancient castile used by the Reshkari. Perhaps Reshiram is there." Master Juniper suggested.
"Very well. Cheren. Leia. Meet me at the Relic Castle." Alder left. Cheren and Leia followed.
When they got to Relic Castle they found it full of Team Plasma members. The three pushed them aside. When they got to the bottom Ghetsis was there waiting.
"So you are here to look for the Light Stone." Ghetsis said. "It is not here. Someone must have stolen it. Since it is a rather ordinary stone, you may have trouble finding it. However, since Leia is the Seeker of Truth, she is sure to find it."
"You! You kidnapped and brainwashed my brother Luke!" Leia yelled.
"I had no choice. It was the only way." Ghetsis said. Leia could have sworn there was guilt in Ghetsis's eye.
"I must go." Ghetsis left.
"So now where do we look?" Cheren asked.
Leia's Xtransceiver rang. She picked it up.
"Leia!" Master Juniper said. "Come to Nacrene City Museum now! That's an order!"
Leia hung up.
"Strange. Prof. Juniper rarely gives Leia a direct order like that." Cheren said.
"Must be important." Leia said. The three flew off to Nacrene.
When they got there both Master Junipers where there as well as Bianca and Lenora.
"I have been told what is going on." Lenora said. "This stone was found in Relic Castle."
"The Light Stone." Leia said.
"You must be the one to awaken Reshiram." The younger Master Juniper said. "I did a DNA test on that strand of hair and…"
"I know. N already told me." Leia said. "My guess is that he and Ghetsis have known all this time."
"If the two dragons fight it could turn into another Reshkari and Riazek war." Alder said.
"N seems to believe that his victory will end all wars." The elder Master Juniper said. "But it will only cause more. The Riazeks have been gone for some time now."
"It seems we have no other choice." Leia said. With a heavy heart she accepted the Light Stone. "I won't wake Reshiram here. I'll wait until the time is right."
Everyone nodded.
"I still question the legitimacy of the prophecy." Alder said. "Leia, you should ask Drayden and Iris if they know anything."
Leia nodded while stifling a yawn.
"We should all get some rest. We can continue this tomorrow." The Younger Master Juniper said.
Everyone nodded. When Leia got to the Pokémon Center she was barely awake. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit her pillow.
