"Are you sure? I could've sworn I heard Reshirams' wings flapping outside." Cheren said, and Bianca giggled.
"Oh Cheren, you're such a worry wart, nothing's out of the ordinary." Bianca stated, and Touko heard them leave, before sighing in relief.
"That was a close one, huh Reshiram?" Touko asked as she sat up, and Reshiram gave his own chuckle.
"Yes it was milady." Reshiram said to her before falling asleep.
Next day: Touko yawned as the sun hit her eyes, and stretched making a bone or two pop, and then smiled in satisfaction. Lucario and the others did the same, without the bone popping, and then smiled at her.
"Well fella's. Let's get ready. We've got training with Alder." Touko said as she stood up, and got dressed in her fighting clothes.
Touko left the room with her Pokemon, except Reshiram for he had to be in a Poke-ball to travel anywhere in the castle aside from her room, the throne room, or the training room. Once she reached the main hall, Bianca came running up to her panicked.
"TOUKO!" Bianca screamed, and Touko gasped as she ran toward her.
"Bianca, what's wrong?! Are you okay?" Touko asked.
"It's Cheren! His unit had to leave last night, and they should've been back by now, but they're not! I'm so worried!" Bianca said in agony, worried about Cherens' safety.
"Don't worry Bianca. I'll get on Reshiram, and find out where Cheren is." Touko said returning all her Pokemon to their Poke-ball's.
"What?! Touko, you can't go alone." Bianca said holding Touko back.
"But Cheren is also my friend. If you want, we can go together." Touko stated, and Bianca nodded as they left the Castle, until she encountered Alder outside.
"Al-Alder?!" Touko said surprised to see him.
"Where do you think you're going Touko?" Alder asked, stern.
"To wherever Cheren and his unit are at. We need to make sure he's safe." Touko said as she released Reshiram from his Poke-ball.
"Touko, no! We can't risk you getting hurt." Alder said, but Touko glared at him.
"Where is he at?!" Touko demanded Alder, and Alder sighed.
Even if he is her mentor, he still has to listen to her, no matter how much it pained him to see she might get hurt.
"They went toward White forest, and went east. They should've been back by now with caught Pokemon, but they aren't." Alder stated, and Touko nodded as she got on Reshiram, and helped Bianca on.
"We'll be back soon!" Touko said and had Reshiram fly in the way described.
Black Country: Ghetsis sighed as he sat in the throne chair. His son was out on a Scouting mission with Touya, and they should be back soon. Suddenly Elesa busted in, but following after her, not as panicked, was Touya and N who were confused.
"Lord Ghetsis, the Shadow Triad have some news that could help us in the war!" Elesa said, and Ghetsis urged her onward.
"Sir, we've just seen Reshiram flying eastward of the White Forest. We believe they are on some kind of mission. If we take advantage of this, we could get Reshiram on our side." Elesa said panting.
"Good job Elesa. Since the Princess is riding Reshiram, kill her, and it'll weaken their army, and put them in a rage to where they are clouded by anger. Go forth and capture Reshiram!" Ghetsis said, and Touya came in fully nodding.
"Yes Sir!" Touya said saluting and leaving, bringing N with him.
"Well N, let's go get Reshiram!" Touya shouted, running ahead.
'Touko! No!' N thought, worried and ran outside, brining Zekrom out in a hurry.
"Zekrom, we've gotta go. Listen, we gotta save Touko also." N whispered to Zekrom, and got on him.
"Touya, I'll scout ahead." N said and flew off, not waiting for an answer.
"N! Dammit! Troops, hurry up. Grab any Pokemon that can be ridden, and let's go!" Touya shouted as he mounted Zebstrika, and left with his troops.
Later: Touko had Reshiram landed as they approached the area they were told of. Touko then helped Bianca off, but kept Reshiram out in case anything happened. Suddenly they moved some bushes aside, and gasped at the sight they saw. The unit was totally destroyed, and bloodied bodies lay everywhere. Many of them had a lost limb, or had their intestine hanging out. Bianca began sniffling at the sight. She may be a healer, but if they were already dead, they were no hope for them.
"Touko, I hope Cheren isn't dead." Bianca said, and Touko hugged her.
"He'll be alive, you'll see." Touko said.
Suddenly, Touko noticed some movement from the center of the area, and her with Bianca, and Reshiram went over to the area, and saw Cheren getting up, coughing.
"CHEREN!" Bianca shouted as she ran toward him, and helped him up.
"Bianca? Touko?" Cheren asked weak from his wounds.
"Y-Yes, it's us." Bianca said, and brought her staff out to heal him.
"What're you guys doing here?" Cheren asked, and Bianca explained.
Reshiram bent his head down toward Touko, and nudged her away from the two.
"What is it Reshiram?" Touko asked.
"N and his Zekrom are coming this way. I know this because Zekrom told me. Even though we are far apart, we can still interact through the mind. Zekrom can smell Cheren and Bianca, and has told N. A Unit from the Black Country is on their way here, and will be here soon, but not before N and Zekrom get here. N is going to have Zekrom attack so as to not make anything seem suspicious. Since Cheren is the only one alive, we can get away quicker…you already know what I mean don't you." Reshiram said through the mind, but cut off at seeing Toukos' bored look.
"Yes I do. Practically since the army is on their way here, me and N will have to attack as though we're enemies, and act like we're fighting so nothing is shown. Then once I know we can get away, we'll fly off at full speed. I know what's going on." Touko said and turned around right as Cheren was standing.
"Touko, I'm sorry, but no one else is alive. I failed in protecting my unit." Cheren said with a bow, and Touko sighed.
