"Cheren, don't worry. All that matters is that you're alive, and that's good enough for me, but I am upset to see all of them are dead." Touko said with a sad sigh, and tears coming to her eyes.
She was upset they were all dead; she never wanted to see so much bloodshed in her life. Suddenly, Reshiram began growling, and Touko looked upward with Bianca, and Cheren only to see a big black dragon landed before them, and someone jump off their back.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" the person said, and it was N, playing an act.
"Cheren, Bianca get on Reshiram." Touko said as she brought out her sword.
"Touko?" Bianca asked, but Cheren pulled her on him.
"Heehee, well, I see the Prince has shown himself." Touko said with a grin, playing along.
"I see you know who I am, or that I'm the Prince at least." N said and then looked at Cheren to see the broken armor.
"How pitiful. Going through the possibility of being seen, and capture just to rescue one man. How pathetic." N said, but it was strained, yet neither Cheren nor Bianca noticed.
"Pathetic you say? No, I say this is friendship, something you don't have." Touko said, trying to come across mean, but faltered a little bit.
"Still, I'm surprised to see that the Princess isn't fazed by the sight of what one unit can do." N said looking around, upset about what happened, and then Zekrom spoke to Reshiram through the mind, and Reshiram gave a smirk, but growled.
"Lady Touko, one unit of the Black Country did this. I'll tell you the rest later, we need to leave!" Reshiram said as he gave a roar.
"Tch! I can't waste my time with you, I gotta leave." Touko said getting on Reshiram, and N gasped as he got on Zekrom.
"I don't think so! Zekrom, Fusion Bolt!" N commanded, and Touko gasped as she had Reshiram dodge it.
"Alright Reshiram, let's go, but use Fusion Flare to help our escape!" Touko commanded, and Reshiram shot his Fire at Zekrom who dodged it, and growled at her.
"GO!" Touko said, and Reshiram toke off at amazing speed.
"Dammit!" N said, and was about to have Zekrom follow, to play along, but then Touya appeared.
"Don't N! You'll be falling into their trap!" Touya said worried, and N sighed.
"Next time Zekrom, we'll get them." N said, but inside he was relieved.
'Tell Reshiram, I glad her and him played along so well.' N said to Zekrom through the mind, and Zekrom gave a rumble to show he understood.
With Touko: Touko had Reshiram landed at the behind the gates of White Country, and Touko with Bianca and Cheren got off, but Bianca and Touko helped Cheren off. He was still slightly wounded because Bianca didn't bring her strongest staff with her, but Reshiram got his wings hurt from taking off full speed, and that Fusion Bolt attack resided on the ground, shocking upward to his wings through the body, so he was slightly hurt.
"Let's hurry to the Castle, Reshiram once we get to the Castle, we can get your wings fixed." Touko said, and Reshiram nodded with a low growl, at the pain in his wings.
"Also, N says he's glad you played along so well." Reshiram told Touko through the mind, and Touko smiled.
'Heehee, I love your ability to talk to Zekrom from so far away. Now, is it like a communication that is always open, or do you two open it yourselves?' Touko asked Reshiram, helping Cheren back.
"It's something that takes a while to learn. It's hard to explain, but I guess you could say we open it ourselves. Practically all we have to do is think about the other and…it's hard to explain, okay?" Reshiram said, not knowing how to explain it.
'So, could you like hear what the other country is saying?' Touko asked, confused.
"No, it doesn't work like that. If Zekrom wanted to, he could tell me what the other country is saying, but he's not that disobedient, he wouldn't betray his own Country, even if N asked him to. That's just like me. If you asked me to tell Zekrom everything we talked about, I couldn't." Reshiram said, and Touko nodded to show she understood.
All the plans her country talked about would stay in her country. Reshiram listened to all of them, but he would not tell Zekrom so Zekrom could tell N. He wouldn't betray them, even if she asked him to he couldn't. He cared too much about his own country to do something like that, but Touko would never ask him to do that. Suddenly, people in town began running toward them, to help them through the town and straight to the Castle, where Alder stood with Cleric's and Catherine the Queen. Upon getting to the Castle, Alder gasped and ran toward them with Catherine, and the Cleric's.
"Touko, Bianca, Cheren, you're okay! What about the other's?" Alder asked, and Touko looked away as Cheren looked down, and gave a small bow.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't protect my unit." Cheren said, and Catherine sighed.
"What happened?" Catherine asked.
"On our search, we got attack by a Unit from the Black Country. We were no match for them, as they seemed to have had more training than us." Cheren stated as a Cleric finished healing him, and they moved toward Reshiram after seeing his hurt wings.
"Then we'll have to train more. What about the Pokemon?" Catherine asked, and Cheren smiled.
"We caught some Pokemon, and gave them to me, as we put them in a bag. Here it is." Cheren said as he had Reshiram lower himself, and Cheren grabbed the bag.
"Thankfully, no rip in the bag, so none fell out. Here." Cheren said giving the bag to Alder, who sighed with a smile.
"Alright, go on inside Cheren and Bianca. Touko, I need to speak with you." Alder said, and looked at the Queen who sighed and went inside with everyone.
Reshiram, and Touko stayed outside in front of Alder, and Touko gave a sad sigh.
"Alder…I-I'm so sorry! I know I shouldn't have gone off like that, but-!" Touko bowed and apologized, but laughing from Alder caused her to look up confused.
"What're you talking about? I'm quiet glad you disobeyed me. Means you're growing into becoming a fine adult, and not only that, Cheren lived because of you. I was just too worried about your safety to think what could've happened." Alder said with a smile, and Touko gave a soft smile back.
"But I do believe I've influenced you. I was as reckless as you, and you're just as bad as me when I was 18." Alder said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Heehee. I guess I take after you." Touko said with a smile.
"Hahaha, but you take more after your father than anything else. You're just like him when it comes to running off." Alder said and Touko smiled, but inside she was sad.
She never meet her father, he had gone off to fight when Touko was born because they would've been run over had he not left to fight. He was killed though during battle, but most of the army survived thanks to her father.
"Anyways, I suggest you go inside and rest. You don't have to train today, okay?" Alder said rubbing her head, and she smiled as she returned Reshiram, and went inside.
Toukos' room: Touko walked into her room, and let all her Pokemon out from their Poke-ball's, and sat down on the bed. Lucario looked at her worried, Eevee snuggled into her lap, Reshiram nuzzled her cheek, Absol sat before her worried, Dragonair wrapped around her gently, and Samurott nuzzled her hand, and Touko smiled at them all.
"Thanks guys." Touko said as she laid her head in her hands.
