The blue Legendary Silhouette appeared in the Astral Plain and shouted, " Swords of Justice, report to the Astral Plain immediately for an Emergency Meeting!" the Blue Silhouette as the Green, Brown, and the small Yellow Silhouettes appeared in the Astral Plain. "You called for an emergency meeting, what's the emergency?" The Green Silhouette asked, "is it about Shaun Ark again?" Keldeo asked with a sigh, "o-of... of course, *clears throat*, he's been captured by the young boy that is the embodiment of Zekrom, Zane Ark," the Blue Silhouette explained as the other Silhouettes gasped in shock and fear. "Oh no... not him, what do we do to help him?" The Green silhouette asked in worry, "I'm afraid... we're gonna have to do nothing," the Blue Silhouette explained. "What, but... but Shaun can't handle Zane and Team Plasma all by himself, this is the evil team of Unova he's up against!" The Brown Silhouette said with worry, "I'm sorry everyone, we can't help him," the Blue Silhouette explained, "don't you think Shaun being exiled, having to survive in a cave for months, and losing a family to disease that nobody can cure is enough torture for him!" Keldeo shouted. "What was that?" The Blue silhouette said, "I'm not gonna let Shaun fight off Zane and the rest of Team Plasma by himself, I know we all saw how powerful Zane was six years ago, it looks like he's gotten stronger too, Shaun's Pokémon were even there to help him as well and Zane only used one attack to defeat all of them!" Keldeo shouted, "Keldeo's right, Zane is too strong, trust me... I speak from experience... when I first fought him years ago... and I stood no chance, even a powerful form couldn't stop him," the Green Silhouette explained. "I'm sorry... I still say we wait it out," the Blue Silhouette said, "quit being stubborn, do you even hear what's coming out of that muzzle of yours!" Keldeo shouted, "that's it, I'm taking this into my own hooves, Shaun needs help and I don't care what you all say!" Keldeo shouted, "Keldeo, it's a flying invisible airship, how are you planning on finding it and getting up there?" the Blue Silhouette asked, "hmm... I got an idea, if any of you guys wanna help, you're welcome to join... I'll see you all later!" Keldeo shouted, "wait Keldeo... *sigh*... just be careful of Zane please!" the Green Silhouette warned, "I'll be careful, I'll save Shaun... and succeed, even if Zane does get in the way," Keldeo said as his silhouette disappeared from the Astral Plain, "please be careful Keldeo... Zane is really dangerous... I had to protect you from him six years ago... I don't wanna battle him again," the Green Silhouette said with a worried tone.
Shaun's Pokémon are walking through the icy cold forest trying to find the invisible airship to rescue Shaun while thinking that they have failed their trainer; but on the way Shaolin felt a presence nearby watching them. "Shaolin, what's the matter?" Lina asked as Shaolin closed her eyes to concentrate, "someone or something is watching us, keep your guards up everyone," Shaolin warned as Everton got their attacks ready for battle and gathered in a circle with their backs against each other. Shaolin closed her eyes to specify the location of the enemy as she swiftly opened them, "found you," Shaolin smirked as she charged an Aura Sphere and launched it at the bushes for a yellow horse creature with a red mane flew out of the bushes screaming in pain. Shaun's Pokémon walked up to the yellow horse and aimed their attacks right at him, "who are you, we never saw a Pokémon like you before, now tell us, are you a friend or foe before we blast you to smithereens!" Hydra threatened, "w-w-wait, wait, wait, hold your fire, please, I'm a fried, I'm here to help!" the Pokémon pleaded. "Then tell us, who are you?" Aqua asked, "I am the Mythical Pokémon and student of the Swords of Justice, Keldeo, pleased to meet you all," Keldeo bowed, "hmm, how can we trust you little runt!" Hydra shouted, "hey, don't call me little!" Keldeo shouted, "comrades, step away from him!" Leer shouted, "you said you were the student of the Swords of Justice, correct?" Leer asked, "y-yeah, didmtnyou hear what I explained to you all a couple of minutes ago?" Keldeo asked with confusion, "the Swords of Justice are my idols and you're their student, amazing!" Leer shouted with excitement, "Lord Leer you know the Swords of Justice?" Lina asked, "of course, iv followed their folk lore ever since I heard of them, the Swords of Justice are a small group of Legendary Pokémon, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion, Cobalion is the leader of the group, he's a Steel and Fighting type and his wise words of wisdom guide the group and is the strongest of the group, Virizion is Grass and Fighting type and is the wisest of the group and the most caring and loving Legendary Pokemon you'll ever meet, Terrakion is a Ground and Fighting type and is the strongest of the group, Terrakion can lift and break any boulders of any size, together they protect all of Unova's wild Pokémon from any danger," Leer explained with a shine in his eyes.
"Wow... you know a lot about our mythos," Keldeo said with shock, "but I've never heard of you though, could you please tell me about your capabilities please?" Leer pleaded, "um... I would love to explain I really do, but don't you realize that I came here to help you guys to save your trainer," Keldeo explained. "How do you know what our problem is?" Shaolin asked, "if we're separated or if we want a private chat then we have emergency meetings in the Astral Plain, the Swords of Justice have been watching Shaun for years, him maturing and growing older, and they knew that Dhaun was Reshiram from the start and wanted to give Shaun a good home, this was way before I joined the Swords of Justice, Virizion was walking through the forest on a stormy night and..." Keldeo explained.
Flashback-Virizion- sixteen years ago
Virizion walked through the forest as it began to sprinkle a bit of rain, "what a beautiful night, the rain drops just makes the tree's sparkle in the moonlight, the rain falling at a peaceful rhythm...*breaths in and out*, I don't think anything can disturb this inner peace of this forest," Virizion said as she heard a noise in the distance. "Wh-what... what's that sound, who can disturb the peace on this beautiful night... wait a second... that sounds like... a baby crying... oh dear, I must help it!" Virizion said with a worried tone as she ran to the sound of crying as she found the very young baby crying his eyes out. "Oh dear, you poor little thing, who would abandon you all the way out here in the forest like that?" Virizion asked as the baby kept crying and she knelt down on her knees too comfort it, "shh, quiet little one, shh... it's all right," Virizion said as she nuzzled the baby's chest to tickle him and made the baby giggle. "There, that's what I love to hear, where are you're parents anyway little one?" Virizion asked in caring voice but a poison stinger came out of nowhere and flew pasted her head and hit the tree. "Poison Sting... alright, who goes there!" Virizion shouted as a couple of Venipede and Whirlipede appeared from the shadows of the bushes, "Venipede and Whirlipede, grr, you all think that I'll let you all lay an antenna on this child, then you all thought wrong!" Virizion shouted as she shot an Energy Ball from her mouth at the wild centipede Pokémon but Energy Ball wasn't very effective, "grr, their Bug and Poison typing is too strong for my Grass typing, alright, keep calm Virizion, you have to protect this child at all cost!" Virizion shouted as she used the move Calm Mind to raise her stats, "okay, my only move that can damage them greatly is Sacred Sword!" Virizion shouted as the Venipede and Whirlipede all used Venoshock and Poison Sting but she dodged the attacks gracefully. Virizion charged up her energy as a giant green blade illuminated from her forehead and was about to strike, "prepare yourselves felons, this Savred Sword will end your villainous ways, En Guarde!" Virizion shouted as she charged toward the wild Pokémon with her blade and one-shotted each and every one of the Pokémon.
After she defeated all the Venipede and Whirlipede she sheathed Sacred Sword and returned to the small child, " *pant* *pant*, that was a little close, at least we're safe, come little one, I'll bring you too my comrades to see what they think of you," Virizion said as she grabbed the child with her mouth but she also noticed a tag on his leg that had four letters on it, "SARK, what in earth does that mean?" Virizion thought as she put the baby on her back and carried him to the other Swords. "Cobalion, Terrakion, I wanna show you both something," Virizion asked as she woke Cobalion and Terrakion from their sleep, "*yawn*... make it quick Virizion, what is it?" Cobalion asked, "look who I found abandoned in the forest all alone," Virizion said as she turned to her side to reveals she's carrying a human baby on her back. "What, a human child, what's he doing all the way out here in the forest?" Cobalion asked in shock as they stood up to check it out, "I don't know, I found him crying while he was cold and wet and all alone," Virizion explained as the baby hugged Cobalions neck, " haha, it looks like he likes you Cobalion," Virizion giggled as Cobalion blushed with embarrassment, "heh, he's pretty cute, why don't we take care of him, huh Cobalion?" Terrakion asked as Cobalion jumped back with a surprise and the baby stopped hugging him, "yeah, I was thinking the same thing, great idea Terrakion," Virizion smiled with glee, "no, bad idea," Cobalion said, "why, why is it a bad idea Cobalion?" Virizion asked, "because Pokémon can't care for a human child, we're not parents Virizion so we have no experience in raising a human child, and living in the forest with no shelter is not good either, the child will be cold when winter hits, and we also don't have the correct supplies to take care of him as well...*sigh*...I think it's best we find a home for this little one," Cobalion explained, "*sigh*... I guess you're right Cobalion... I will heed your words of advice on this one," Virizion agreed, "darn it, I was hoping we could keep him, he's so cute," Terrakion said as the baby giggled, "but Cobalion, won't he remember us and wonder where we are?" Virizion asked in worry, "he's in his young ages, he won't remember anything from his young childhood, let me get a closer look at him if you don't mind," Cobalion asked as Virizion nodded and let Cobalion look at the baby. As Cobalion got closer he felt a radiating heat coming from the child that felt like not any normal human could feel, as he closed his eyes to enhance his senses he felt a second more powerful being inside the child, "no... it can't be, I knew this heat felt familiar," Cobalion said in shock, "what, what's wrong with him Cobalion?" Virizion asked out of worry, "this... thing... is Reshiram," Cobalion said as the Swords were shocked with the news, " but didn't both Reshiram and Zekrom get resealed in their colored stones m, how can this child be Reshiram himself?" Virizion asked in confusion, "that's what I don't understand, he looks like a human, bug if I observe him more closely, he also has Pokémon blood, this doesn't make any sense at all, this child could be dangerous in the wrong hands, what was this child doing once you found him Virizion?" Cobalion asked, "he was crying when I found him, why do you ask?" Virizion asked as Cobalion touched the child with his cheek to reveal that the radiating heat is disappearing.
"The heat is gone... it must only activate when the child is upset, it's too dangerous for him anywhere, even with us, I don't think training his powers at this age will help him in the slightest, he will need a very good parent to raise him right, Virizion, in the morning you'll try to find a perfect home for him, would you?" Cobalion asked. "... agreed... I've been watching this single woman on the outside of this forest, she doesn't fight, steal or do any bad things, could that be the perfect place?" Virizion asked, "that's perfect, let's get some shut eye, good night comrades," Cobalion said as he and Terrakion feel back asleep and Virizion grabbed a leaf with her Vine Whip, lied down and used the leaf as a blanket for the baby and placed him by her side, "don't worry little one, we'll find a living home for you, I promise... I wish I could take care of you though... good night child," Virizion said as she licked the child on his forehead as they both fell asleep. The next morning both Virizion and Terrakion woke up with a fright by Cobalion's shouting, "rise and shine, time to get up!" "shhh... Cobalion, the baby is still asleep," Virizion whispered with anger, "right, forgive me... *ahem*, Virizion, you can go alone with the child if u like?" Cobalion asked, "o-of... of course... I'll be on my way," Virizion said as she put the wrapped baby on her back and left to find the home she mentioned last night; a couple of hours later Virizion reached the edge of the forest and saw the house she mentioned, "this is perfect, it's in the country too," Virizion whispered as she walked out of the bushes and toward the front door and set the sleeping baby on the front porch, "... I guess... this is goodbye child... I hope the resident here will treat you with care... even though we just met last night... I'm gonna miss you," Virizion said as she shed a tear and licked the baby's forehead again, "I will always be with you... and watching you, I promise," Virizion said as she rang he door bell with Vine Whip and ran away back into the bushes to hide as she heard a faint voice inside the house coming to the door. "Who could that be at this hour?" the woman asked herself as she opened the door to see the baby sleeping on the porch, "oh my goodness, who would abandon a child so terribly young, don't worry little one, I'll give you a living home, right here with me," the Woman said as she picked up the baby and took him inside the house but stopped in her tracks to look around the area for the feeling she's being watched but shrugged it off and went inside the house with the baby and as soon as he woman went inside Virizion came out of the bushes, "take good care of him, that child is very special, he's gonna do great things in the future, I can tell... goodbye my child... I promise me and the rest of the Swords of Justice will watch over you," Virizion said as she calmly walked back into the forest.
Present
"And that's how Shaun and the Swords of Justice got acquainted and how Shaun was adopted into the household he lives in today," Keldeo explained, " wow, that explains a lot of Shaun's past," Lina said with amazement, "yeah, now the time isn't for explaining now, you guys wanted help to save Shaun right, well I've got a plan to help you guys out," Keldeo said with a smile, "okay, what's the plan Keldeo?" Shaolin asked. "Okay, Zoroark's can see through illusions right, and tell what's fake and real?" Keldeo asked, "um... yeah, I can tell if another Zorua or Zoroark is nearby with my Illusion ability, why do you ask?" Lina asked, "we can fly into the sky and track down the invisible airship with you Zoroark, so we can break in and save Shaun!" Keldeo shouted in excitement, "hmm... sounds like a good plan, I like it," Aqua said, "you do realize we have names y'know other then our Pokémon names, my name is Hydra, these are Lina, Aqua, Guardian, Shaolin, and Lord Leer," Hydra sa d as everyone waved, "great to meet all of you too, now what are we standing around for, let's go save Shaun!" Keldeo shouted as Shaun's Pokémon cheered. While on the Team Plasma airship Zane threw the knocked out Shaun into a prison but before Zane was about to shut the door Colress walked in to stop Zane, "hold on a second Zane, I would love to observe and examine that ice shard of Kyurem around Shaun's neck, it might be of use to our plan," Colress explained with a greedy smile," whatever you say Doc, but are you sure that's a good idea to take that "thing" off?" Zane asked with a sigh, "nonsense, there's no harm in it," Colress said, "alright, it's your funeral Doc," Zane said as he walked up to the knocked out Shaun and unhooked the ice shard necklace from his neck and tossed it to Colress and he caught it, "perfect, thank you Zane, it'll take some time to examine this specimen, so you're free to do whatever you like around the ship until your next assignment, agreed?" Colress said, "*sigh*, whatever, at least I finally get a break for once on this stupid ship," Zane said as he walked away, "oh hush Zane... oh well, I've got more important matters to attend to anyway," Colress chuckled while dangling the crystal in front of his face.
It's been two hours of searching for the airship while flying on Guardian and Hydra while looking for it, "*sigh*... it's been two hours Keldeo and we haven't found the airship yet, are you sure this is even possible?" Hydra whined, "ah c'mon Hydra, you gotta have a little faith," Lina said, "Lina, this ship could be anywhere in Unova right now, where would you think an invisible airship could be?" Hydra complained as Aqua shot Scald at Hydra's face in annoyance, "could you please shut up and deal with it Hydra," Aqua said in annoyance, "I think I'm starting to agree with Hydra, where would we even find this ship?" Guardian asked. "W-wait... I think I see something up ahead!" Lina shouted in excitement, " what do you see Lina?" Keldeo asked, "it... looks... like... a giant blue sphere of some sort, what is that actually?" Lina asked in confusion, "well... it's an illusion right since you're the the only one who can see it, and think about it, why would a giant blue sphere be flying in the air," Keldeo explained, "yeah, you're probably right, it's the ship most likely, let's go in!" Lina shouted as Guardiam and Hydra flew into the sphere with everyone on their backs and the ship was inside the blue sphere. "Okay, I am impressed, an invisibility force field," Aqua said with amazement, "but how do we find M'lord Shaun in here," Leer asked as they all landed on the ship and got off Guardian and Hydra's backs, " I can try to search for Shaun's life essence, give me a moment," Shaolin said as she closed her eyes to feel for Shaun's essence and it's revealed that Shaun is at the bottom of the ship sitting down, "I can feel him... he's at the bottom of the ship!" Shaolin shouted, "then that's where we're heading, let's hurry up and save him!" Lina shouted but an alarm ran and shouted," INTRUDER ALERT, DISTURBANCE ON THE MAIN DECK!" "Oh no, I think we're about to have company," Keldeo warned as a bunch of Team Plasma Grunts surrounded them, "how did these Pokémon get in the ship, we're very high up to just climb aboard?" a Grunt asked, "wait, isn't that the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo?" a Female Grunt asked, "if that's the case then this will be a huge steal!" another Grunt shouted as all the Plasma Grunts threw their Pokéballs for Scolipedes, Sevipers, Golbats, Houndooms, and Liepards.
"Grr, we can't be here for long, Shaun needs our help now!" Lina shouted, "don't worry, we'll clear you a path, we'll keep these grunts distracted, just go rescue Shaun!" Shaolin shouted, "but what about you guys?" Keldeo asked, "we'll be okay, just go!" Aqua shouted as Guardian used Physic to clear a path to a doorway inside the shop for Lina and Keldeo, "thank you everyone, we'll be back as fast as we can!" Lina shouted as she and Keldeo ran to the doorway and entered; grunts and their Pokémon tried to chase them down but were blocked by Hydra, "I don't think so, you're gonna have to deal with us!" Hydra shouted as he shot Flamethrower at the grunts. Colress was busy examining the ice crystal necklace but heard the alarm as well, "grr... what intruders would even breach the ship, they'd have to fly and randomly bump into us for there to be any intruders!" Colress shouted in anger as he left his lab and entered the bridge to check the cameras, "computer, shoe all locations of the intruders!" Colress shouted as the monitor brought up two screens of camera's to show Shaun's Pokémon battling the Grunts while Lina and Keldeo were inside, "well... how intriguing, Shaun's Pokémon came all this way to rescue him, even bringing along the Mythical Pokémon Keldeo to aid them, no matter, I'll send a Shadow Triad member to deal with those two, but extreme measures will have to be taken on the main deck," Colress said as he touched his ear piece, "Zane... Zane come in!" Colress shouted as Zane responded back, "ugh, inwas just getting comfortable too, what do you want!" Zane shouted, "Zane, we've got intruders on the Main Deck and two heading towards the Prison Ward!" Colress shouted, "can't you have the Grunts or those Shadow Triad guys take care of it?" Zane asked, "the grunts aren't doing well on the deck and I've sent some Shadow Triad to the two intruders inside, but I believe this might motivate you, it's all six of Shaun's Pokémon and they're being aided by Keldeo!" Colress shouted, "oh, that little horsey brat, I remember him from six years ago, I would gladly love to beat the tar out of that horse , but the tall green protector of his got in my way!" Zane shouted with excitement and anger, "well I'm sorry to crash your party Zane, but I don't need you to go after Keldeo," Colress said, "what, well you're just a big killjoy!" Zane shouted, "I need you to help out grunts on the deck, the Shadow Triad should have the Shiny Zoroark and Keldeo under control, now go, I'll continue my experiments while you do that," Colress explained, "ugh... fine, I'll go!" Zane said with annoyance, "good luck Zane," Colress said, "oh I won't need luck Doc, I've already won," Zane chuckled as they both hung up.
Lina and Keldeo sprinted down each hallway and staircase to reach the Prison Ward as fast as possible before more Grunts stop them, "c'mon, we gotta hurry before Zane finds us, we'd stand no chance if he finds us!" Keldeo shouted, "*pant*... I know, hey look, that sign says Prison Ward, we're close, let's hurry Keldeo!" Lina shouted as they sprinted past the sign to the Prison Ward. Shaun's Pokémon finished up the Grunts on the main deck as the now scared Grunts returned their Pokémon to their Pokéballs and ran away in fear, "hmph, those lousy goons stood no chance against us!" Hydra gloated, "don't get cocky now Hydra... I sense a strong power heading our way... oh no," Shaolin said, "what do you mean, "oh no?" Aqua asked in worry as the doors burst open as Zane walked out of the door slowly with his eye shut and red electricity shooting out of him as he opened his eye to be bloodshot red with a crazy smile showing his sharp teeth and fangs, "ha, never thought I'd see you losers again," Zane mocked, "Zane... get out of our way, we got a job to do!" Aqua shouted, "I-I don't know guys... he took us down with only one attack last time," Guardian said in fear, "ah quit being a scars Purrloin Guardian," Hydra said, "Sir Zane, make way, we're not afraid of you, no matter how powerful you are!" Leer shouted, "tsk, tsk, tsk, how rude... conveniently I have a job to do as well... and that job is... *chuckles*... is to wipe the floor with you idiots!" Zane shouted as he laughed manically and charged his hands with electricity to prepare for battle. "Um... what do we do guys, he's too powerful for us to take on?" Guardian asked in fear, "c'mon Comrades, we can't be scared silly of this freak of nature, I say I do love a strong opponent, Hydra my friend, join me... you love strong opponents too!" Leer shouted valiantly, "yeah... you're right Lord Leer, let's dance Zane!" Hydra shouted, "you've all just sealed your fates, let's go!" Zane shouted, "En Guarde, Felon!" Leer shouted as Shaun's Pokémon and Zane charged at each other to fight.
Lina and Keldeo find the hallway for the Prison Ward, "yes, we found the Prison Ward, but how can we tell which cell is Shaun's?" Lina asked as Keldeo found a prison board for cell numbers with names by them, "hey Lina, I found this prison board, Shaun's cell number has to be on here!" Keldeo shouted but Lina heard something or someone coming, "Keldeo, look out!" Lina shouted as Keldeo ducked under three ninja shurikens flying through the air and hit the metallic wall behind them. "Alright... whomever's there show yourselves, I can see through your tricks!" Lina shouted as a Ninja came out of the shadows, "hmph, so you think you can save that freak of nature you call a master huh Zoroark, well you're wrong, Project S.A.R.K belongs to Team Plasma, and we ninja of the Shadow Triad do our best to accomplish our goals!" the Triad shouted as he threw A Pokéball and a Bisharp appeared before Lina and Keldeo for a battle. "A Bisharp, from Shaun's knowledge of types, Bisharp is a Steel and Dark type correct?" Lina asked, "yup, that means he's four-times weak against Fighting Types, and it just so happens that you have a part Fighting type standing next to ya," Keldeo smirked, "well, what are you waiting for, attack him with a Fighting Type move!" Lina shouted, "yeah...the problem is... I only have... one... Fighting Type move I know... hehehe," Keldeo laughed with embarrassment, "its better then nothing, do something!" Lina shouted, "if you won't attack then we will, Bisharp use Night Slash!" the Shadow Triad shouted as Bisharp attacked Lina with Night Slash but she didn't have the room to dodge it. "Whew... lucky that it wasn't a Critical Hit, Keldeo, hurry up!" Lina shouted, "okay, here I go!" Keldeo shouted as he charged up a blue sphere of energy from his mouth and shouted, "Focus Blast!" as he shot the ball of energy at Bisharp but it embarrassingly missed Bisharp and hit the close wall instead. "Keldeo... how did you miss that, he was a couple of feet in front of us!" Lina shouted, "sorry, Focus Blast has a high miss rate," Keldeo explained, "ugh... okay... I'll do this myself!" Lima shouted as she blasted Bisharp with Dark Pulse. "Not good enough, Bisharp use Slash!" the Shadow Triad shouted as Bisharp charged up to Lina to attack her with his sharp arms but Lina backflipped back and used Sucker Punch on Bisharp, "c'mon Bisharp, get up and use Shadow Claw!" the Shadow Triad shouted but Lina dodged the Claw by ducking, "some assistance would be greatly appreciated Keldeo!" Lima shouted, "okay, I'll try... Aqua Jet is my other only damaging move," Keldeo explained, "just do it anyway!" Lina shouted as Keldeo ran at Bisharp as he flew in the air with water engulfing him; and as he struck Bisharp with Aqua Jet, Bisharp fainted and the Shadow Triad lost.
"No way... Bisharp return!" the Shadow Triad shouted as Bisharp returned to his Pokéball, "I didn't know Bisharp was that low on stamina to be taken out by Aqua Jet," the Shadiw Triad said in awe as Lina walked up and growled menacingly in his face, "aaahhh, okay, okay, I'll go just don't hurt me!" the Shadow Triad shouted in fear as he used a smoke bomb to get away. "Now that's just sad," Lina said, "yeah... I agree," Keldeo said, "c'mon, we're wasting time!" Lina shouted as they found Shaun's cell number on the board and went to the cell where Shaun is being held. They reach the cell door that Shaun is being held and try to open the door but it wouldn't budge, "grr... it won't open, the key has to be around here somewhere," Keldeo said, "or we could just break down the door, that'll be a whole lot faster then beating every grunt here to a pulp until they eventually drop a key," Lina said, "yeah, that's true, what moves do we do to destroy this door?" Keldeo asked, "I can use Night Daze to blow the door down but you could also use Focus Blast," Lina suggested, "um... are you sure, I could miss y'know," Keldeo said with a worried look, "not at point blank range, you can't miss at close range right?" Lina asked, "yeah... I could try, but won't it also hurt me if I'm too close?" Keldeo asked, "ah don't worry, there's no recoil damage so there's no worries, now hurry up, Shaun is waiting," Lina said as she readied her charge for Night Daze, "um... okay, whatever you say," Keldeo said nervously as he charged up Focus Blast and walked up really close to the cell door; Keldeo fired the ball of energy at the cell and it hit but the door didn't budge, " ow, that actually hurt...grr, all I did was crack it, are you serious!" Keldeo shouted with frustration, "well at least you made my job easier, alright Keldeo stand back, this could get messy," Lina warned as Keldeo hid behind the corner of the hallway to avoid the blast radius, "alright... Shaun... I'm coming," Lina thought as she pounded her supercharged arms on the ground for a giant blast of darkness and it blasted the cell door down and it hit the wall inside the cell with a loud bang; Keldeo peaked around the corner to see Lina standing there with the cell door broken, "woah... that is one strong attack," Keldeo said with amazement, "thanks, now let's save Shaun!" Lina shouted as she and Keldeo ran inside the cell to see Shaun still knocked out on the ground but something was very different.
"Oh my goodness, what's wrong with Shaun?" Lina asked in horror, "I don't know, it looks like some parts of Reshiram are changing him," Keldeo tried to explain. Shaun had his black hair changed to pure white and he had Reshiram's white engine tail ripped through his pants, his blue eyes stayed the same but his four fangs have been expanded with his entire set of teeth full of dragon fangs, "look, Kyurem's ice shard is gone as well," Keldeo pointed out, "well we gotta wake him up somehow?" Lina asked, "trust me, I'm Part Water type, Fire hates Water, a bit of Aqua Jet from my hooves might work," Keldeo said as Keldeo raised his right hoof and sprayed water out of his hoof like a hose on Shaun as he woke up with a fright. "Ahh, w-who... where am I?" Shaun asked as he looked at his new appearance, "umm... what the heck happened to me, where's my crystal, and Lina who the heck is this Pokémon, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!" Shaun shouted in complete panic as Keldeo splashed Shaun's face again to shut him up, "get a hold of yourself, we need to get moving!" Keldeo shouted as he left the cell, "Lina... could you please explain what's going on?" Shaun asked, "no idea, but Keldeo is aiding us for your rescue," Lina explained, "where's the gang though?" Shaun asked, "they're holding off the Grunts on the Main Deck so that's why we have to hurry," Lina explained, "okay, but let's get my necklace back before we go though," Shaun said, "agreed, I'm right behind you," Lina said as they got up and sprinted out of the cell and down the hall to catch up to Keldeo but was suddenly interrupted by a sudden shout from a cell.
"Help... somebody... who's out there!" the man shouted inside the cell, "wait a minute... that sounds like N, N is that you?" Shaun asked, "Shaun... oh thank goodness you're finally awake, could you help me out of this cell?" N asked, "hmph, why should I help you N, you betrayed me and sold me out to Team Plasma, so you better have a good explanation on why I should even help you!" Shaun said with anger, "Shaun I'm sorry, I was being blackmailed to help them and if I didn't do what they said then that Zoroark's fate would've been sealed, I'm sorry, really, really, sorry!" N shouted. "Hmm...okay I guess... I get your point but... why did they lock you up?" Shaun asked, "they wanted me to do another assignment and I refused, they've locked me in here for months... just please let me out... I'll never harm you, your friends, or your Pokémon ever again," N pleaded. "Are you sure you wanna trust him Shaun, what if he betrays us again?" Lina asked with suspicion, "Lina if it wasn't for him then the pups mother Zoroark would've been a goner, I think he's on our side this time," Shaun explained, "um okay, whatever you say Shaun," Lina said, "now stand back, in gonna burst down the door," Lina warned as she charged her arms with dark energy again, "N back away from the door, it's coming down!" Shaun shouted as Shaun hid behind the corner to brace for impact as Lina's Night Daze busted down the door. "Wow, that is impressive indeed," N congratulated as he exited the cell and saw Shaun's new appearance, "wow, looks like Reshiram wants to be free earlier then I expected," N said, wait you know what's happening to me?" Shaun asked in confusion, "indeed, Kyurem's ice shard was what awakened Reshiram inside you, giving you your taste of his power by speaking to Pokémon and your capabilities of wielding blue fire but since you're slowly become one with Reshiram it's slowly turning your blood into that of a Dragon type Pokémon, making you weak and very fragile to Ice types, and since your necklace is made out of extremely powerful Ice, then Reshiram is held back and restrained inside you, but now that the ice shard is gone then Reshiram is free to do whatever he pleases without restraint anymore, and since you two are not in sync and bonded with each other yet well... it creates the monstrosity you are now," N explained, "so the reason that I look like this is because me and Reshiram aren't in sync and have a strong enough bond?" Shaun asked, "that's precisely what I'm saying, but I am curious, you were an experiment hybrid with these powers at birth, but you were defected and couldn't use them, what made them appear is now is beyond me and my concern," N said. "Well I'm gonna have to get my crystal back, I don't wanna look like this forever, and another question N, I started talking to Pokémon when I had the crystal on, but now that I don't have it I can still talk to Pokémon, why is that?" Shaun asked, "it's because you're a Pokémon inside, you may look human but you also have Pokémon blood coursing through your veins, I know this because I read through your experiment files when I used to work for Team Plasma for my adoptive Father," N explained, well that explains a lot about me," Shaun said as Keldeo came back, "c'mon, we're wasting time guys!" Keldeo shouted in panic as he ran off again, "aren't you gonna come with us N?" Shaun asked, "I'll catch up with you at a later date Shaun, there's a lot of trapped Pokémon in these cells so it is my duty to release them, oh and one more thing, if you want to find your crystal shard then it's located in Colress' laboratory in the ship, good luck to all of you, and farewell!" N shouted as he and Shaun shook hands and ran in their separate directions as Shaun and Lina headed upstairs and checked the nearby ship map to locate the lab.
While the two friends were on their way to the lab the passed the Bridge of the ship to hear Colress shouting at a Plasma Grunt, "what, Shaun managed to escape, well don't just stand there, find him!" Colress shouted in anger, "y-yes, !" the Grunt shouted in fear as he left the bridge at top speed and didn't see Lina and Shaun on the way out, "hey, let's listen In real fast, this could be some useful information," Shaun whispered, "good idea Shaun, we can probably tell what their plan is if we listen in," Lina whispered. " sir,, incoming transmission from the Grunts in the Kalos Region," he Female Grunt explained, "on screen now!" Colress shouted as a video transmission of two Grunts guiding a crane holding some kind of giant Cocoon, " m, Sir, coming in from the Kalos Region, we finally found our next stepping stone to our Plan B," the Grunt explained, "oh good, good good good, very good, I shall be expecting you two to arrive with the item in question very soon," Colress said with a smile, "of course, Plasma Grunts, signing off," the second Grunt said as the transmission ceased. "Perfect, at least our second plan will work out then our original plan to use Shaun and Zane to wreak havoc on Unova, but this is even better!" Colress shouted. "Kalos Region... never heard of that Region before l, let's keep listening,"'Shaun whispered as the Female Grunt appeared on screen again, " , a very important transmission is coming in!" the Female Grunt shouted, "from who, on screen!" Colress shouted as a shadowy figure was on the screen with a red right eye, " , it's been too long... old friend," the figure said, "ahhh, oh my goodness, Lord Ghetsis, it... it's been so long," Colress said in a panic, "sorry for the inconvenience, but I called because I was interested in your plans to destroy Unova," Ghetsis explained, "really, you like my plans, how intrigued were you by them?" Colress asked, "the plan of using Project S.A.R.K and Project Z.A.R.K were very intriguing to say the least, but your plan to travel across oceans to take control of a Legendary Pokémon capable of destroying Regions itself to do our bidding is my cup of tea, hats off to you Doctor," Ghetsis said, "th-thank you Sir, I know you would certainly be impressed," Colress said, "but from the looks of things, there could be a huge hinderance in your plan... Project S.A.R.K... is not on our side and could get in the way of your plans, I want you to get rid of him, by any means necessary, kill him if it comes to it, I don't care what you do, just get rid of him!" Ghetsis shouted, "b-b-but sir... what about Reshiram, if Shaun is destroyed or even killed, then Reshiram dies with him as well," Colress said in worry, "I don't care... just get rid of him... or else... that is all, I'll be seeing you in person at a later date," Ghetsis said as the transmission ceased.
"Destroy me... and a Legendary Pokémon from another Region capable of destroying entire Regions is coming to Unova, this is not good, we gotta get off this ship now before anyone finds us," Shaun whispered, "agreed, the lab is right around the corner, let's move quickly," Lina whispered as they ran around the corner and entered the lab to see his ice necklace on a nearby table, "there it is, let's grab it and go," Shaun said as he grabbed it and put it in his pocket, "the exit is right above us, let's go quickly," Lina said as they ran up the stairs and slammed the door open to the main deck. "*Whew*... we made it, where's the others?" Shaun asked as they saw Keldeo in front of them shaking in fear, "Keldeo, what's wrong?" Lina asked as Keldeo slowly pointed his hoof at a boy with a black sleeveless hoodie, torn up jeans, sharp teeth, long hair over his right eye and green scalely arms while holding Shaolin by her neck and the rest of Shaun's Pokémon fainted on the deck as the boy turned around slowly and grinned menacingly. "It's... it's... Z-Z-Z... Z-Zane!" Keldeo shouted in panic, "in the flesh, and it looks like the Dragon inside you is finally showing bro," Zane snickered, "let her go Zane, let her go and no one has to get hurt!" Shaun shouted, "hahaha, as you wish," Zane chuckled as he shocked Shaolin; and as she screamed in pain Zane threw her on the deck with the others. "Sh-Shaun... get out of here... we'll be okay... just go!" Shaolin uttered as Zane stomped on her neck, "I don't think so little lady," Zane said, "Zane, leave my Pokémon alone!" Shaun shouted. "Hmph, or what... what do you plan to do to save them?" Zane asked with a malicious smile, "your business is with me, leave them alone and battle me instead!" Shaun shouted as Zane lifted his foot off Shaolin's neck as she gasped for air and coughed, "you've convinced me, I'm willing to test your new power after you've finally gotten out of the feeling of running away from your problems," Zane chuckled, "shut it, no talk... just fight!" Shaun shouted. "Shaun no, he's too strong, you know you cannot win!" Shaolin shouted as she coughed again, "Shaun, are you sure about this?" Lina asked in worry, "I'm not afraid of him, we're virtually the same, that means I'm equally as strong as him," Shaun explained, "Reshiram... I know we're not in sync... but if you can hear me... I need your help, there are friends that I need to protect!" Shaun thought, "well what are we waiting for, come on!" Zane shouted, "okay Zane... let's dance Shaun shouted as some sort of Steel blades appeared under Shaun's arms that look like wings.
"Um... I didn't do that... what are these things?" Shaun asked himself, "what... that's Steel Wing you idiot, how do you know Steel Wing?" Zane asked, "wait a sec Shaun, if you didn't activate Steel Wing... then it must've been," Keldeo said with shock, "R-Reshiram did it... he activated Steel Wing... he did hear me, alright, let's go Reshiram, Steel Wing!" Shaun shouted as he charged toward Zane with the sharp wing blades, but Zane didn't budge. As soon as Shaun got close enough to attack Zane blocked Steel Wing with his scaley green arm as it started to glow green with a mysterious energy and extended as a huge aura Claw out of green scales to push Shaun back, "wh-what... how did you?" Shaun asked in confusion, "*chuckles*, rule number one bro, for this actual fight, not Pokémon Battle, never shout your attacks against me, it's the most basic of basics, for example," Zane chuckled as he lunged and scratched Shaun with the green energy claw to do Super Effective damage to Shaun," Dragon Claw," Zane chuckled."Oh no... Dragons are Super Effective against other Dragons... and with me being Dragon and Fire... we'll both be doing effective damage to each other, it depends on whomever lands their attacks, so I've gotta move carefully and unpredictable if I don't wanna get hit by Zane," Shaun thought. "Grr... Reshiram, do you know any Dragon Type moves, it will give us an edge if you do know any," Shaun asked to himself as a random tingly feeling came from his throat and shot a purple pulse from his mouth at Zane, "what the..." Zane asked with confusion as he was struck by the pulse attack and took Super Effective damage, "ha, Dragon Pulse, I know Dragon Pulse, who would've thought it!" Shaun shouted in excitement, "grr, whatever, eat this!" Zane shouted as he shot red electricity from his other arm at Shaun and shouted, "Bolt Strike!". As the red lightning hurled toward Shaun, it managed to miss Shaun by a landslide, "grr... curse Bolt Strikes eighty five percent accuracy!" Zane shouted, "hey Reshiram, anything else you got hidden in your sleeves... I mean wings?" Shaun asked as Shaun felt a burning fire in his throats and shot a powerful blue flame from his mouth directly at Zane and landed and Zane also managed to get the Burn status from it, "wh-what the... thats... Blue Flare... one of Reshiram's signature moves, this is impossible, and I managed to get burned... that's a thirty percent chance for a Burn you lucky devil... grrr, no matter!" Zane shouted as he charged at Shaun with both arms as Dragon Claws, "in still gonna beat you brother, no matter what moves or tricks you do!" Zane shouted as Shaun activated Steel Wing on both arms to clash with Zane.
"Hmm, it is strange, we really are equal, almost the same really, but one of us has to be stronger then the other, and I know for a fact that I am the strongest!" Zane shouted as he jumped backwards from their clash and shot more red Bolt Strikes and hit Shaun this time with incredible power and Shaun could barely move after that. "Haha, perfect, and I even got the thirty percent Paralysis," Zane chuckled but was burned for a bit of damage, "p-p-Paralysis... oh no," Shaun uttered, "now let's end this, you won't be able to dodge this now that you're paralyzed, Giga Impact!" Zane shouted as he floated in midair d charged up a huge airstream around him and began to charge straight towards Shaun. Shaun couldn't move because of his Paralysis status and covered his face to brace for impact, but in the nick of time Keldeo got in the way with his Double Team clones and Zane missed by hitting the wrong clone, "grr... not Double Team, ahh, now I have to recharge," Zane uttered, "nows our chance to escape while he's charging up his strength!" Keldeo shouted, "Keldeo I can take him, I'm not running away!" Shaun shouted as Paralysis shocked him, "yeah and Paralysis says otherwise, grab your Pokémon so we can escape!" Keldeo shouted, "ok, and how do you expect us all to get down from here?" Shaun asked, "you have wings in there right, use them to fly!" Keldeo shouted, "are you kidding me, I don't know how to fly!" Shaun shouted, "well you're gonna have to or we're gonna be stuck fighting Sane and losing!" Keldeo shouted, "Shaun, I believe in you, we all trust you to bring us down safely," Lina said as she put her paw on his shoulder. "O-okay... I'll try, everyone, return to your Pokéballs!" Shaun shouted as he grabbed all six of his Pokéballs and returned his Pokémon to them and put them on his belt and Keldeo jumped onto Shaun's back.
"Alright... here we go!" Shaun shouted as he jumped off the edge of the airship, "oh no, you're not getting away that easy!" Zane shouted as his energy recharged and went to the edge to shoot Bolt Strikes at them while while they were falling but managed to run out of Power Points, "what... ahh, darn it... you may have gotten away this time Shaun, but we'll meet again and when we battle, I'll be the one standing over your fainted body! Zane shouted as he walked away. Shaun and Keldeo were still falling while Shaun was trying to summon wings of some sort, "I told you I couldn't fly, now we're gonna die!" Shaun shouted, "well if Reshiram answered your call when you needed him up there so why not ask him again!" Keldeo shouted, "okay, I'll try," Shaun said as he closed his eyes, "c'mon Reshiram, we need you more then ever now, you know how to fly and I dint so take control and summon your wings and help us fly, please," Shaun thought as a blue fire auraed around him, "what's going on with my body?" Shaun asked in confusion as the fire stopped and spawned white wings on his back and they started flying on their own. "Shaun... it's working, he listened!" Keldeo shouted in excitement, "wow, I'm actually flying, wohoo!" Shaun shouted but the Paralysis status shocked Shaun and the wings stopped flapping, "oh you gotta be kidding me!" Shaun shouted in frustration as he and Keldeo fell closer and closer to the ground, "well... it was nice to meet you Keldeo!" Shaun shouted, "it was nice to meet you too!" Keldeo shouted as they both closed their eyes; but they suddenly heard a shout from the ground, "don't worry boys, we're coming!" the Female voice shouted as green vines aimed straight for them and grabbed them before they hit the ground.
"Wh-what... who grabbed us?" Shaun asked as Keldeo saw who did, "they did!" Keldeo shouted in excitement as he pointed towards the ground for it to reveal that Virizion of the Swords of Justice caught them with Vine Whip and Cobalion and Terrakion were standing next to her. Virizion put them on the ground and retracted her vines, "are you boys okay?" Virizion asked, "yeah... we're okay Virizion, thanks for the save," Keldeo said with a smile, " well look who it is, we finally meet in person, and look how big you've grown," Virizion said with a smile, "wait... that voice... you're that green silhouette aren't you!?" Shaun asked in shock, "*giggles*, you finally caught me, it is great to see you after all these years child," Virizion said as she hugged Shaun with her head. "Um... what do you mean by, after all these years" Shaun asked in confusion, "oh... oh um... well I," Virizion said before she was cut off, "sorry, but there is no time to explain, your friends look severely injured, come, follow us," Cobalion said as he walked away for Shaun and the others to follow close behind him. Shaun and the others followed Cobalion through the snowy forest and found a cave very deep in the woods, "oh, now I know where we're going," Keldeo said, "really, where are we going?" Shaun asked, "patience young dragon, this will help you and your friends heal yourselves, along with that Paralysis of yours, ah, here we are," Cobalion as they approached a wall of vines and Cobalion moved the vines with his antlers to reveal a spring with a tiny waterfall and small plant life all around the cave. "Wow, what is this place?" Shaun asked in amazement, "this is a special hit spring that can cure anything and heal the wounds of whomever the water touches, go on, give it a try," Virizion said, "okay, whatever you guys say, if it heals then let's have everyone join in as well, everyone come on out!" Shaun shouted as he threw all six of his Pokéballs for everyone to appear but were completely weak from the battle with Zane.
"Did we survive?" Guardian asked in fear, "where are we anyway?" Aqua asked, "by the stars above... are... are those... the Swords Of Justice!" Leer shouted in excitement, "yeah, if it wasn't for them then we would've been pancakes on the ground," Shaun explained, "really, I'm... I'm astonished... I might faint... I ... ahhh," Leer said as he fainted on the ground. "Um... is he alright?" Virizion asked, "oh don't mind him, he's just a big fan of your deeds and accomplishments," Shaolin explained, "well you and everyone will feel better once you take a dip in the spring," Terrakion explained, "okay, let's give it a try," Shaun said as he jumped into the spring, "well... I guess it wouldn't hurt to try," Lina said as she took off Shaun's leather jacket and scarf and jumped in. "At least this will heal these wounds," Shaolin said as she jumped in as Guardian grabbed the fainted Lord Leer and jumped in with him while Aqua and Hydra joined in as well, "Keldeo, it looks like you got hurt a bit, did you encounter Zane?" Virizion asked, "y-yeah... only once though, he stood in our way while we were escaping," Keldeo explained, "well that explains why Shaun and his Pokémon look so beat up," Terrakion said, "let's just be glad you all managed to escape that... wretched monster... with your lives still in your bodies," Virizion said as she exhaled in relief, "but jumping off the ship was a reckless decision," Cobalion scolded, "hey, it was either Zane or try to escape with our lives, we had no choice!" Keldeo shouted, " I understand your motives, but I agree with Cobalion, it was indeed reckless," Virizion said, "*sigh* sorry... it won't happen again," Keldeo said, "no need to apologize, just don't be reckless next time, I don't wanna lose a trainee to a madman y'know," Terrakion winked, "thanks guys, your the best," Keldeo said as Shaun and he gang came out of the hit spring. "How do you all feel?" Cobalion asked as Shaun tried to dry off his wings and engine tail; Shaun flapped his wings on his back to test if his status was gone, "I... I can move, the Paralysis is gone, hallelujah!" Shaun shouted, "the wounds have been healed, this spring actually works," Shaolin said with an impressed smirk as Lord Leer went up to the Swords, "Swords of Justice, I've admired your work for many years and I'm your biggest fan!" Leer shouted in excitement, "um... thank you... it is good to meet someone who admire's our heroic deeds," Virizion said, "I always wanted to ask... Master Cobalion... I beg of you... can I be your appre-... ahh," Leer shouted as Shaolin knocked Lord Leer out by hitting him with a small Dual Chop to the back of the head, "there, that should shut him up for a little while," Shaolin said, "is he gonna be alright?" Virizion asked, "oh don't mind him, it is indeed an honor to meet you and the others in person," Shaolin bowed in respect, "*giggles* why thank you, it's an honor to meet you too," Virizion said as she bowed as well.
"Shaun, how do you feel?" Keldeo asked, "has your strength returned young dragon?" Cobalion asked, "y-yeah... oh, almost forgot, I should put this back on," Shaun said as he grabbed the ice shard necklace from his jeans pocket and put it back on around his neck. As the necklace was strapped back on the new body parts and features of Reshiram faded away in blue fire, the wings, engine tail, and white hair were all gone except for the blue eyes and the set of four fangs, "there, that's better, and for some reading my pants fixed themselves... I don't know how that happened but I'll take it," Shaun said with a smile, "young dragon... you're thinking of yourself... don't you think think putting that ice shard back on would not make Reshiram suffer or be upset... think about it," Cobalion explained as Shaun felt something inside him, a sharp and cold,chilling pain, "I can feel him, it feels line Reshiram is suffering," Shaun said, "but do you feel safe to set him free Shaun?" Virizion asked, "I feel like it would be the right thing to do... but... I'm too scared to release our power... I don't want Reshiram to lose control and hurt someone I care about," Shaun explained. "That's an understandable answer... hmm... I feel like we can help you on this little predicament," Cobalion explained," really, how can you help me?" Shaun asked, "we've been thinking about his for a long time, even before you knew about your powers, and I think we al know the time has come," Terrakion said, "since Eeshiram is bursting for freedom inside you and wanting to release that power... well, we've decided," Virizion said with a smile, "we've decided to take you under the wings of the Swords of Justice, we can train you to Bond and become one with Reshiram so you can control his power," Cobalion explained. "Really... that... that would be a huge honor, thank you," Shaun said with gratitude, "your training shall begin first thing at the crack of dawn, get some rest, the sun is starting is set, we've got dens in the back of the spring as our homes when we return here," Cobalion explained, "w-wait, what about my friends, what do they do?" Shaun asked, "yeah, what do we do, we stick together," Lina asked, "...I'm sorry, but this training requires you and you alone young dragon, your friends will have to go home until you finish your training," Cobalion explained, "when will my training be finished?" Shaun asked, "you'll know you're ready when the time comes, but until then you'll have to say goodbye to your Pokémon," Cobalion explained as he walked away and Shaun noticed Lina shedding a tear. "Lina... are you okay?" Shaun asked, "*sigh*... I'm... I'm fine... at least I'll know that you'll be okay... I understand... I guess this is goodbye... for now, I guess," Lina said as she wiped the tear away, "hey Lina... don't cry, we will see each other again, I promise as soon as I'm done with training, I'll come back and visit you guys," Shaun said, "*sniff*... promise?" Lina asked, "I promise... you guys should be heading home... say hit to Mom for me will you?" Shaun asked, "of course... here you should have these back," Lina said as she grabbed Shaun's jacket and scarf, "have your cloths back, you might need them," Lina said with a smile, " no thanks Lina, I don't need them, you can keep them, in fact... give them to Mom, it'll show her proof that I'm alright," Shaun said, "okay... I'm gonna miss you Shaun *sniff*," Lina uttered as she gave Shaun a hug, "I'm gonna miss you too Lina, Shaun said as he hugged her back and Lina blushed a tiny bit.
"We'll miss you too Shaun... good luck on your training," Shaolin said, "you're gonna shine like the stars, goodbye Shaun," Aqua said, "you and Reshiram are gonna kick some tail in the future, goodbye," Hydra said, "*sniff*... I'm not much of a Pokémon that gets sad... but I can't help it!" Guardian cried as he grabbed Lord Leer off the ground and hugged Shaun and Lina as all of Shaun's Pokémon give Shaun a group hug as Virizion, Terrakion, and Keldeo shed some tears at this beautiful moment, "Cobalion, are you crying too?" Virizion asked in shock, "um... no, not at all," Cobalion said as he wiped his face off and walked away. "I'll miss all of you, and I'll make all of you guys proud," Shaun cried as everyone released the group hug and Shaun's Pokémon began to walk to the exit of the spring while looking back and waving while Shaun waved back at them; after everyone left Lima just stood at the exit and turned around to give Shaun another hug, "oh, I almost forgot, here's your guys Pokéballs, keep them safe Lina," Shaun said as he gave Lina his entire Pokéball belt, "the next time you guys see me... I'll be completely different... make me proud while I'm gone," Shaun said as Lina nodded and left through the wall of vines with the belt in tow. "Well... when do we start training Swords of Justice?" Shaun asked, "you'll be joining Keldeo's training session first thing in the morning, get some rest young dragon, you've got a long day tomorrow," Cobalion said, "um... where do I sleep?" Shaun asked, "oh, um... we weren't prepared for that," Virizion said, "hey, how about he stays with Keldeo, he's got some extra room in his den in this cave," Terrakion suggested, "that sounds like a great idea Terrakion, Shaun you shall be staying in Keldeo's den," Virizion said, "really, yay, we're gonna be roommates!" Keldeo shouted in excitement, "y-yeah... this is exciting," Shaun said sarcastically. "Well, we'll be heading off to our dens here, see you two in the morning," Virizion said as she and Terrakion went into separate dens, "well what are we waiting for, let's go and see your new room!" Keldeo shouted with excitement, "this could be interesting," Shaun thought as he entered Keldeo's den to see a small hole to represent a window and some cracks and bumps on the cave walls, "it's a bit small but it's home sweet home to me," Keldeo said with a smile, "what's with the cracks and bumps?" Shaun asked, "oh, those are just what happens when I train in here, it also could get a little drafty in here so I'm just warning you ahead of time," Keldeo warned, "it's okay, I don't mind at all, we better get some shut eye, we have a big day tomorrow," Shaun said, "yeah, I'll see you in the morning," Keldeo said as he curled into a ball on his bed of hay while Shaun latex in the floor but Shaun also noticed that Keldeo is shivering a bit, "*sigh*, okay... I'll let you loose just this once, warm up the den for Keldeo please," Shaun asked as he took off the shard necklace and lied down to fall asleep as Shaun's body heat from Reshiram warmed up the den.
Meanwhile on the Team Plasma Airship; Colress was pacing back and forth with anger on his face as the Grunts and Zane were standing there in the Bridge awaiting for Colress to lay down the punishment. "How... did Shaun... and all of his Pokémon... manage to get away!" Colress shouted in anger as the Grunts scattered in fear as Zane just rolled his eyes, "hey, don't look at me, I tried to stop them but he managed to slip through my hands," Zane explained, "*sigh*... let's just hope that Lord Ghetsis doesn't call," Colress said as a video transmission of Ghetsis appeared and he shouted," COLRESS!" "ahh... oh... L-Lord... *gulp*, Lord Ghetsis... why are you... calling in so late and out of the blue?" Colress asked in fear, "I was gonna check on your progress and from the looks of the condition of the airship I can tell that something wrong has happened, now I have a short temper tonight so I want the truth immediately!" Ghetsis shouted in anger, "w-well... you see... our Plan B was a bit destructive in the way in... you see," Colress explained, "*sigh*, no, not that at all, Shaun managed to escape with his Pokémon in tact, not only that but he stole his ice necklace back, released that poor excuse of a memeber N out of his cell, and N let out all of the captured Pokémon in the process and escaped with them," Zane explained with a malicious grin, "Zane, why would you!" Colress houses but was interrupted by a shout, "Shaun is still alive!" Ghetsis shouted in anger. "Well... y-y-yes... Shaun did... escape, but that doesn't matter though, we got our plan B coming from Kalos, don't worry, and eithbthe new research of this special bond power!" Colress shouted, "you've forgotten that Shaun is not a part of Team Plasma and he's still alive out there somewhere, so he'll do whatever it takes to stop us!" Ghetsis shouted, "don't worry, we can track Shaun down again with his built-in tracking devise... we just need to... recalibrate it," Colress said nervously, "search all of Unova tomorrow for that little brat, and do not fail me again!" Ghetsis shouted, "don't worry my lord, we'll all search while I try to calibrate the devise again," Colress said in worry, "you better find him before I arrive, or you'll be severely punished!" Ghetsis shouted as the video shut off.
Shaun's Pokémon were about half way back to Nimbasa City but decided to stop in the woods for the night, "let's rest here for tonight, we'll reach Nimbasa City by sunrise, Guardian could you get a fire place started?" Shaolin asked, "of course," Guardian said as he broke off some branches and grabbed some rocks to start a fireplace. "Hydra, light the fire for us please?" Shaolin asked as Hydra used Flamethrower to light the branchs ablaze, "*yawn*... I don't know about you guys but I'm getting some sleep, it has been a long day after all, I'll see you guys in the morning," Aqua said as he fell asleep, "I'm gonna join you Aqua, see you guys in the morning, night," Hydra said S he fell asleep too while Guardian and Lord Leer fell asleep by a tree but Shaolin noticed that Lina was staring at her crystal heart necklace around her neck. "You miss him very much, don't you?" Shaolin asked, "y-yeah... it's just... it's just after not seeing him for months and then... just saying goodbye just like that... it... it just doesn't feel right to me," Lina said, "don't worry Lina, once he's done training with the Swords Of Justice he'll come straight back to Nimbasa City as a new and completely different person,"' Shaolin explained with a caring smile. "You think so," Lina asked, "I know so... Shaun's gonna do magnificent things in the future... all we can do is wait... wait for our long lost best friend to return to us, safe and sound," Shaolin explained, "Shaolin... thanks... thanks for the talk," Lina said with a smile, "*chuckles* don't mention it Lina... it's best for you to get some rest," Shaolin suggested, "what about you?" Lina asked, "I'm gonna meditate for a bit, don't worry about me and get some rest," Shaolin said as Lina payed down and fell asleep as Shaolin meditated by the fire to relax by breathing in and out. "Shaun... make us proud," Shaolin whispered as she opened her eye to see a vision in the campfire to see Shaun and a giant Pokémon in the campfire, "huh... what is that Pokémon... what are the spirits trying to tell me?" Shaolin asked as the giant Pokémon overtook Shaun in a dark shadow to represent Shaun's defeat as lifeless Pokémon covered in black shadow with red eyes marched onward with the giant black scary Pokémon behind them, "wh-what... what's happening... oh no... spirits... please don't let this vision be true," Shaolin pleaded in horror.
