Leia walked along Tubline Bridge. The Shadow Triad appeared and garbed her. They brought her to Ghetsis.
"So you have found the Light Stone." Ghetsis said.
"Yes. And I will use it to defeat N." Leia said.
"It is your destiny to battle him. But do you really think you can win? He has been going easy on you. He has a team he has been training since he was young." Ghetsis said. "I trust that N will win."
"Why do you care so much?" Leia asked.
Ghetsis remained silent.
"Lord Ghetsis. We must be heading to Opelucid City for your speech." One of the Shadow Triad said.
Ghetsis and his Shadow Triad left. Leia followed them. She stopped on Route Nine to catch a Mincino. She named her Dorothea. When she got to Opelucid City Ghetsis was already there. Alder was also there.
"Leia. This is bad." Alder said. "People are starting to listen to Ghetsis,, and releasing their Pokémon."
"Yes. N, the King of Team Plasma, has awakened Zekrom. He has become the Holder of Ideals. He will soon give the order for all trainers to release their Pokémon. This will end not just this conflict, but all future conflicts. Order will at last come to this world." Ghetsis said.
"He shall rule this world. So bow before your new king and release your Pokemon! Those who resist shall be dealt with by Team Plasma." He was escorted away by some grunts.
After the speech Alder took Leia to Drayden and Iris.
"Hmp. What are you doing here?" Drayden asked.
"I need you to tell Leia any extra information about the prophecy of the Seeker of Truth and the Holder of Ideals." Alder begged.
"Ghetsis claimed that this N is the Holder of Ideals." Drayden said.
"I have the Light Stone." Leia said. "If N is the Holder of Ideals, then I must be the Seeker of Truth."
"I guess we don't have a choice." Iris said.
"Leia. Come to my house. I will tell you all I know." Drayden said.
"Thank you. I am off to the Pokémon League. Leia should the worst come to pass, Alan Dayrider is ready with Giratina. His wife, Kento Marek and Malie Marek are also on stand-by." Alder said.
Leia watched Alder fly off. She followed Iris to Daryden's house.
"No one knows who wrote the prophecy, or when it was written." Drayden began. "You know that Reshiram and Zekrom were involved in the first Great War between the Reshkari and the Riazeks."
Leia nodded. "They were once one Pokémon, as the Reshkari and the Riazeks were once one group. A pair of twins were set to inherit leadership of the group, but began to argue about how to lead the group. The Brother fell to the Dark Side, while the Sister remained in the Light. This caused Reshiram and Zekrom to split."
Drayden nodded. "It seems that that war is going to happen again. However, it is possible the prophecy was made up. It is not mentioned in any holy book, despite looking like it came from Arceus, or The Ancient of Days for you Reshkari. It is possible Ghetsis is/was manipulated into believing in it."
"You mean someone else could be pulling the strings?" Iris said
"It is possible." Drayden said. "The prophecy has no winner. Ghetsis is an Aura user. He was likely a Reshkari. All other Reshkari prophecies have a winner. Even all Riakek prophecies have a winner. With no clear winner it would make the prophecy seem more legitimate. No matter who wins, the believers of the prophecy aren't/weren't wrong. It just seem strange to me."
"When was it first discovered?" Leia asked.
"That's another strange thing about it. It came out of nowhere only five years after the fall of the Church of the Helix and Church of the Dome. So it is very new despite people claiming it is an ancient prophecy." Drayden said. "Now I've told you all I know. Come to my gym and prove that you are this Seeker of Truth." Drayden left for his gym.
Leia went to train first. She caught a Foongus on Route Ten and named him Vaike. She trained until Olivia evolved into Vanilluxe. Once Olivia was ready Leia challenged Drayden.
"Now that you are here I will test you to see if you are worthy of challenging the Elite Four!" Drayden sent out a Fraxure. Leia sent out Olivia. Olivia used Ice Beam to freeze Fraxure solid. She did the same to Drudigon and Haxorus.
"I barely got to move. You are worthy of challenging the Elite Four." Drayden gave Leia the Legend Badge.
She exited the gym and saw Master Juniper.
"Leia. You have collected all the badges. I knew you could do it."
Leia bowed. "Thank you Master."
"I discovered that no one knows where the prophecy was found. My father and I looked everywhere. None of the professors outside of Unova could find anything either. That is adding to the theory that someone, or something, made it up."
Leia thought about that. "Drayden said that is first appeared not that long ago."
"At any rate, Ghetsis and N believe in it. Here." Master Juniper gave Leia a Master Ball. "A Legendary Pokémon deserves a Legendary Poke Ball."
Leia accepted the gift.
"Get some rest. You have a long day tomorrow." Her Master said.
Leia obeyed her master and rested for the night.
When morning came Leia went to Route Ten. Cheren and Bianca were waiting for her.
"So you're off to the Pokémon League." Cheren said.
"Yes." Leia said.
"I know you're going to win!" Bianca said.
"Thank you. I will win. I may not end this war, but I will at least slow it down." Leia vowed.
She hugged her friends and left for Victory Road. She made way to the top and there before her stood the Pokémon League. She went into Grimsley's room first.
"So you're the Reshkari everyone is talking about." Grimsley said. "Alder may be our Champion, and he may have taken a liking to you. However, I don't care. Those who oppose the Pokémon League must be put in their place."
Grimsley led with Scrafty. Leia chose Chrom. Chrom quickly killed Scrafty with a well-placed Brick Break. Liepard came out to take its ally's place. Leipard used Arial Ace. Chrom took too much damage and had to be switched out. Jaffar came out to take care of Liepard. One Earthquake was all it took.
Krookodile was up next. Gregor came out and used Seed Bomb. Krookodile was knocked off the stage. It fell to its death. Bisharp was last. Jaffar came back out to kill it with Earthquake.
"I lost again." Grimsley sighed.
Leia went to fight Caitlin next.
"It's late." Caitlin moaned. "I was trying to sleep. Just make this battle interesting."
Caitlin started off with Reuniclus. Leia used Hubert. Hunbert fired a barrage of Shadow Balls. Reuniclus soon collapsed. Musharna was up mext. Leia switched to Jaffar. Jaffar sliced Musharna in two with X-Scissor.
Sigilyph was next. Jaffar trapped it under rocks with Rock Slide. He then cut off Sigilyph's head with X-Scissor. Gothitelle was last. It used Shadow Ball and killed Hubert. Gergor tried to avenge his friend but died to Psychic. Jaffar came out and killed Gothitelle with X-Scissor.
"I guess that was fun. Now please let me sleep."
Leia was furious. How could Caitlin act so nonchalant after killing two Pokemon? She shook her head and continued to fight Shauntal.
"Oh? I'm busy writing a book, but I can battle you." Shauntal said.
Shauntal led with Cofagrigus. Leia led with Jaffar. Jaffar tore into Cofagrigus with Shadow Claw. Chandelure came next. Jaffar used Earthquake to kill it. Golurk was up next. Olivia came out and froze Golurk with Ice Beam. Jellicent was last. Chrom was sent out. Jellincent used Surf. Chrom took the hit and responded with Payback. Jellincent fell to the ground dead.
"You won. I guess I'll have more to add to my book." Shauntal said.
Leia went to the final room. Marshal's
"I'm Marshal. I will be the one to finally put you in your place Reshkari!"
Marshal led with Throh. Leia with Chrom. Throh tried to slow Chrom down with Bulldoze. Chrom shook it off and used Brick Break on Throh's head. Throh fell back dead.
Conkeldurr was next. Conkeldurr used Hammer Arm. Chrom waited until Conkeldurr grew tired. Once it did he struck with Brick Break. Conkeldurr collapsed from exhaustion. It soon stopped breathing. Mienshao was next. It used Jump Kick. Chrom waited for it to come close. He allowed Mienshao to hit, then used Brick Break to break its spine. Sawk was last. Sawk used Karate Chop. Chrom slowed it down with Bulldoze, then Used Brick Break to kill it.
"I lost?" Marshal was stunned.
Leia ignored him and went to find Alder. When she did, she was too late. N had already won.
"I won." N said.
"No…" Adler fell on his knees.
"Alder!" Leia ran to him.
"Leia. I lost." Alder cried.
"Leia." N said. "You haven't awakened Reshiram yet. You should come to my castle. That will be a good place for it to awaken."
Castle? Leia tilted her head
"Arise Team Plasma Castle and surround the Pokemon League!" N yelled.
The ground began to shake. Out of the ground an enormous castle erupted. Stairs shot out from it and entered to Pokémon League.
"This is my castle." N said. "It is from here I will shout 'Trainers! Release your Pokémon!'"
"No…Please." Alder begged.
N ignored him. "But first we should rest. I am sure both of us had some losses. We will both need to train new team members. I will be waiting in my throne room."
"Alder! Leia!" Cheren came running in.
"Cheren…" Alder said.
"Come on. It's late. You should rest. You too Leia." Cheren took them to a room for challengers to rest.
The next day Leia buried Hubert and Gregor. With no time to grieve she garbed Byleth and trained him until he evolved into Leavannny. She occasional saw N who was training a Vanillite.
Once she was ready she gathered with the Gym Leaders and Reshkari and stormed Team Plasma's castle. While her allies dealt with the Seven Sages and grunts she went straight for N.
"Are you looking for N?"
Leia stopped and turned. She saw a young woman, about her age, with red hair and green eys.
"I'm Mara Jade. I am to be N's queen." The woman said. "If you're looking for N he just got back from training and is in his throne room."
Leia thanked Mara and left. As she made her way she spotted the Shadow Triad.
"Hey!" She called. "Why are you three loyal to Ghetsis?"
"He saved my life and taught me everything I know about Pokémon and Aura." One said.
"He carried a burden that should have been mine to carry." Another said. The third remained silent.
"Hm. Now where's the Throne room?" Leia asked. They took her there. When she went in N was waiting with Zekrom. Leia took out her Light Stone and pored her Aura into it.
"I am Reshkari Knight Leia Skywalker! The Seeker of Truth! Now awaken Reshiram and lend me your strength!"
The Light Stone shone bright. When the light faded Reshiram stood. Leia offered it her Master Ball. It accepted. She named it Rhea.
"Now let us end this Seeker of Truth!" N yelled. Rhea and Zekrom became locked in a fierce battle. Zekrom used Fusion Bolt. Rhea shook it off and used Dragon Breath. Zekrom smashed Rhea with Giga Impact. Rhea held on and used another Dragon Breath. Zekrom collapsed unconscious.
N sent out Carracosta next. Leia switched to Frederick. Frederick slowed Carracosta down With Bulldoze. Carracosta used Waterfall. Frederick healed some HP with Drain Punch. He took another Waterfall before washing Carracosta away with Surf..
Klinklang was next. Leia switched to Chrom. Klinklang used Hyper Beam, but Chrom shrugged it off. He broke Klinklang in two with Brick Break. N chose Vanilluxe. It too fell to Brick Break. Zoroark was up next. Zoroark used Focus Blast. Chrom dodged the attack and killed Zoroark with Brick Break.
"My last Pokémon." N said. He sent out Archeops. Archeops used Acrobatics. Chrom fell, but got right back up. He then buried Archeops with Rock Slide.
"I lost…" N fell to the ground. "I won't be saving the world."
Ghetsis walked in. "N!"
N looked up. "Father… I'm sorry." Tears began to fall down his face.
"FATHER?!" Leia screamed.
"It is no matter. I will defeat Leia. You will still rule the world!" Ghetsis said. He turned to Leia. "I am sorry it has to come to this, but I cannot let my son's dream of an Ideal world come to naught. Forgive me my daughter."
Ghetsis sent out Cofagrigus. Leia was too shocked to act. Rhea came out to fight. She used Fusion Flare to burn Cofafrigus.
Bouffalant came next. Leia had recovered and sent out Chrom. Bouffant used Head Charge. Once again Chrom fell, but got back up. He used Brick Break to split Bouffalant's head open.
Hydreigon was next. It used Dragon Pulse and Fire Blast. Chrom took the hits and used Brick Break to snap each of Hydreigon's necks. Elektross was next. Elektross used Acrobatics. Chrom let Elektross hit him and then used Brick Break to kill it. Seismitoad was next. Byleth came and cut off Seismitoad's head with Leaf Blade. Bisharp was next. Jaffar came out and used Earthquake to end it.
"I lost?' Ghetsis said.
"Father please. Enough." N begged. "Leia has won. I-I… I don't want this any more."
Ghetsis turned to his son. "What?"
"Even if I won the war would only continue. It may even get worse. I'm tired of fighting." N said.
Ghetsis looked away. "Then I will do it. I will end this war and seize control of this world. When I do, then you can come and rule it. It is your destiny. Tarkin!"
"Fear!" A Fearow appeared and Ghetsis got on it. He escaped.
"Was he really?" Leia asked.
N sighed. "Yes."
Leia's face fell. She had fulfilled her dream, but at what cost?
Zekrom stirred.
"I never wanted any of this." N, no, Luke explained. "I never wanted to sell my soul and rule the world. I only went along with it because father wanted me to. I loved him and didn't want to disappoint him. He made so many sacrifices just for me. I used his darkness to awaken Zekrom. I never fell. He did for me."
Luke looked up. "He did all that because he loved me. He wanted me to live in a world of peace."
"But he created a world of war." Leia said.
"I had a vision. I fear that father is being controlled by someone. I want to find out who and end their control of father." Luke turned to Leia. "Will you help me?"
Leia smiled and took her brother's hand. They hopped on their dragons and left. At last she had found her brother, and with his help she will find and free her father.
