EXT. TUBELINE BRIDGE - MORNING
CUE - "EVENT BATTLE" FROM BLACK & WHITE OST.
Iron towers canopy the walkway as busy people with suitcases and eager young Pokémon trainers, heading wherever they need be...
The floor of the bridge is like a catwalk, and passerbys can see and feel SUBWAY trains pass under it. The sun glistens on the messy wet blankets beneath and surrounding TUBELINE BRIDGE.
CRANE SHOT:
Of the clouds. DARKENING. Slight WHISPERS of ELECTRICITY CRACKLE and DANCE through the black sky...
POV SHOT ON THE BRIDGE:
In the eyes of a random commoner. Rain begins to trickle as we TROT through the crowds of people. The rain starts slow - and then seems to INSTANTLY pick up into a raging monsoon. DRAMATIC WINDS blow against the bridge.
Our pace picks up - we're running through the crowds. People are shouting, pissed that they're getting so soaked without much of a warning.
A large LIGHTNING STRIKE smacks the ground in front of us. DEBRIS flies everywhere and we HIT the ground. We TURN - our focus on the SKY now -
A JET BLACK DRAGON IS ZOOMING DOWN FROM THE SKY. LIGHTNING COMING DOWN IN STRIKES FROM BENEATH ITS WINGS, AS IT GIVES A HORRIFYING ROAR.
ZEKROM.
WE leave this POV SHOT.
ON the faces of the horrified people as they race to whatever end of the bridge they're closest too - just trying to find a way out.
LIGHTNING zaps the bars that hold the bridge together. The metal begins to TWIST and CRUMBLE. The wires SHATTER like GLASS.
The bridge begins to groan... it CRACKS, the subways underneath CHURNING.
INT. BATTLE SUBWAY TRAIN 341 - MORNING
Trainers of all ages - from young kids to the elderly - battle with their Pokémon. The train begins to rumble and SHAKE. A YOUNGSTER, no older than 11, tips his cap as he holds onto a rail.
YOUNGSTER
...Was that us?
A young LASS, beautiful, 16, shakes her head in worry.
LASS
I don't think so...
A big blast of LIGHTNING slaps the side of the subway. BOOM!
The lightbulbs explode. People SCREAM as it goes pitch black.
INT. NIMBASA CITY - BATTLE SUBWAY STATION - MORNING
A technician watches the monitor. His eyes widen - definitely an "Oh, crap" expression.
TECHNICIAN
There's a disturbance at Tubeline Bridge... Loss of power.
A second technician looks over his shoulder, clicking on the screen. LIVE FOOTAGE of Tubeline Bridge. The thing is collapsing, the subway train underneath trapped.
TECHNICIAN 2
Oh Jesus...
They can hardly see Zekrom amidst all the smoke and destruction.
TECHNICIAN
Do you see that? That dark - that black outline?
(beat)
Stop all trains from going there immediately.
The technician beside him is confused.
TECHNICIAN 2
But what about the people on the train already there?
TECHNICIAN
...We floor the train. Get Heatmor and Eelektross to generate all the energy they can to Train 341. Get them the hell out of there!
TECHNICIAN 2
Yes, sir!
She rushes off...
INT. NIMBASA CITY - BATTLE SUBWAY STATION - GENERATOR ROOM - CONTINUOUS
...Heading into the BACK ROOM. Alive with lights and monitors. Poké Balls line the shelves against the wall and a large machine with a plexiglass door, many wires dangling from the ceiling, sits on the opposite side. The technician picks up two of them, and she tosses them out.
HEATMOR is a blood-red anteater Pokémon that looks like it's equipped with metal markings, looking almost like a living flamethrower. The EELEKTROSS beside it is an two-armed, deep green electric eel with an enormous, intimidating face.
TECHNICIAN 2
Guys, hook up to the generators...
Both Pokémon rush over, seeing the panic in her eyes, to the nearby generator. The technician applies them with wires, plugging them in. She shuts the plexiglass door and plays with the touch screen pad outside... entering in "341".
She punches in more buttons just as the generator begins to light up. FLAMES begin to surround Heatmor, it makes a noise. Electricity sparks through Eelektross...
A BLINDING LIGHT flashes in the technician's eyes - she blocks her face with her arm -
INT. BATTLE SUBWAY TRAIN 341 - MORNING
The train starts to get back. The YOUNGSTER's horrified face peeks outside, where the bridge is collapsing around their train. He sees people falling plenty of feet, plummeting to the ocean. HORROR crosses his face...
...just as the train PICKS up. Everyone inside is thrown backward as it ZOOMS through the tracks -
EXT. TUBELINE BRIDGE - MORNING
ZEKROM's striking the bridge angrily with plenty of lightning strikes, giving a massive roar in the process. The subway beneath the bridge manages to zoom through the tunnel and disappear out of sight - they're safe.
But the people walking on the bridge continue to fight for their lives...
A CAMERAMAN records the footage. His eyes are alight with wonder and awe.
Suddenly, he hears the snapping of a wire. He spins around - barely has time to register the horror as an entire ARCH swings for him at blinding fast speed and -
EVERYTHING GOES BLACK. THE MUSIC STOPS.
Silence.

I am taking some creative liberties here D:
I am aware that:
A) The Battle Subway only travels through Nimbasa City in the games. I decided to expand it and have it moving throughout the region, just for a better visual effect, plus it makes more sense to me that the subway travels everywhere.
& B) Zekrom and Reshiram ARE the Dark & Light Stones. Everyone puts their own spin on their stories and the legends involving the legendary Pokemon in the games, so I don't see the Stones acting as summoning artifacts (like the Orbs in the Ruby/Sapphire and Diamond/Pearl games) as too big of an issue, but that's not for me to judge!
Hopefully these changes don't turn off readers!
