Chapter One

(Touko's POV)

Wiping the sweat from my brow, I stood up and brushed the dust and rubble from my vest. The last attack from N's Legendary Dragon Pokemon had been strong enough to knock me down and severely wound my last Pokemon.

Serperior, Musharna, Cinccino, even Braviary and Darmanitan were no match for Zekrom. He had swept my whole team aside like it was nothing.

N stood proudly behind his Pokemon. His tea green hair blew wildly in the wind and his eyes held a determined expression. He was giving this battle everything he had as well. Reshiram was in bad shape, but we couldn't afford to lose. Touya, Cheren, Bianaca and the others.. They were counting on me. For all the trainers and Pokemon in Unova. I was their last hope. I grit my teeth and continued on.

"Go Reshiram! Use Dragonbreath, now!"

Reshiram roared, violet coloured flames exploding from his jaws. Zekrom quickly evaded the attack.

"Zekrom, Fusion Bolt again!" N commanded.

"Reshiram quick use Fusion Flare!" I shouted. Zekrom was faster, crashing onto the white dragon, using its enormous strength to hold my partner down by the throat.

Reshiram growled and struggled as The dark dragon began to charge up another powerful Fusion Bolt.

"NO!" I cried. I rushed over to Reshiram blocking the wounded Pokemon with my body.

"N stop this! You have to call off Zekrom! Reshiram won't survive another attack!"

"Hn." N leered.

"You really thought you could win against us? That your ideals, your dreams were stronger than mine? This era of Pokemon being used as tools of war ends today, here and now!" He proclaimed.

"How can you do this, N?" I panted out. "You said you wanted to save the Pokemon but you're not! Ghetsis and Team Plasma.. they're hurting them! You have to stop this!"

N's gaze dropped to the floor.

"And it pains me to do so." He whispered. "But this will be the last time Pokemon will ever be forced to fight. I will free them, and Pokemon and Trainers will never coexist again. It's over Touko.. get out of my way."

He wasn't listening to me. He was going to hurt Reshiram not matter what I said. I squeezed my fists until my knuckles turned white.

"No."

"I can't let you do this, N. I won't!"

"Very well." He replied. "Zekrom, finish them both."

"NO!" I clung to the white dragon, burying my face in his fur. This was it! I fought with everything I had, but it just wasn't enough..

I squeezed my eyes shut tight and braced myself for what was to come. I never imagined it would end like this..

Clap Clap Clap!

My eyes shot open, and I whipped my head around in confusion.

N was standing only feet away clapping his hands. A look of fascination painted his features.

"Amazing Touko! You'd protect your Pokemon even if it meant the end of you?" He asked, his eyes dancing with excitement.

I stared at him in awe."O-of course I would! My Pokemon and I are a team until the very end! You'd have to be out of your mind to believe I'd ever let anything happen to them!"

He crouched down and stared at me intently. "That's very commendable of you.. Undoubtedly so, I knew you had to be something special as I found myself becoming quite.. curious of you. Now I understand why."

He narrowed his eyes. "Tell me something, Touko. When I met up with you in Mistralton City, your Pokemon said they trusted in you very much. And I see you feel the same way about them. Would you be willing to risk anything to ensure their safety?"

"I'd do anything for my friends. I told you that already!" I snapped.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly. He stood and began to pace in slow circles. He seemed to be thinking about something.

"I said before that Pokémon and Trainers who care about one another- like you and your Pokémon, would be separated, and that it breaks my heart a little." He glanced to me with a frown. "I meant that."

"I've never met anyone like you before. I even thought maybe under different circumstances.." He paused with a scratch of the head. "That we could be.. friends.."

His expression hardened a bit. "But as the king of Team Plasma I knew I had to carry out my duty of liberating Unova. And that meant defeating anyone standing in my way. Even you."

"However, I see now that you and I are alike in more ways than one. You truly care for your Pokemon the way I do. We don't have to end things like this, Touko. You can help me. Set all Pokemon free from the senseless cruelty of battles and the selfishness confinement of Pokeballs. Come to Team Plasma's Castle. Serve under me. I will call off Zekrom and let you release your Pokemon safely into the wild. If you refuse, however.. this is going to be the end for all of you."

I was at a loss for words. Was this really the only way to save them? None of my team were in any shape to keep on with this battle. N had Zekrom and Team Plasma surely had the entire building surrounded. What choice did I have? Everything I had worked for was crumbling down in front of me. I was drained mentally and physically. This was it for me.

N crouched down to face level with me. "What do you say, Touko?"

My eyes started to swell with tears. I hung my head and spoke softly.

"Reshiram.. I'm so sorry.. You have to go."

N grinned madly. "Zekrom, return."

The dragon obeyed, flying back to his side.

"Please.." I pleaded my partner. "Keep the others safe as well."

The white dragon breathed softly and lowered his head to mine. I un-clipped my belt with my Pokeballs and placed it around his neck with a kiss.

"Thank you." I smiled, the tears flowing down my face as I hugged him tightly.

Reshiram weakly spread his wings and drifted into the sky.

Grey clouds began to roll in, and rain softly fell down onto my face as I watched my friends disappear.

"Goodbye everyone." I whispered.

My heart ached. I was crushed. In more ways than one. I lost my Pokemon. I lost to N, Team Plasma and Ghetsis. And I had lost hope for Unova.

N studied me for a moment before speaking. "You made a wise decision Touko. Your Pokemon will be very grateful for this, as am I. They will be happy with each other. And you'll be happy with the world we will create for them."

N snapped his fingers and in seconds I was surrounded by the Shadow triad.

They led me over to N, who offered his hand. I was tired of fighting. I numbly obliged.

Ghetsis, Concordia, Anthea and the Sages appeared just moments after.

N spoke, almost in disbelief. "I.. I've done it, Father.. I am the Hero of Unova. The Pokemon will be set free."

The older green haired man observed me skeptically. "And what of this girl?"

I shifted uncomfortably under his stern gaze.

"She and I are under agreement. She's to surrender to us in exchange for the freedom of her Pokemon."

"I see." He spoke. "She is to stay in the dungeon until you carry out your duties as King. We have an intricate agenda ahead. I don't need you getting..." His words trailed off as he looked down at our hands. "..distracted.. Am I understood?"

"Yes, Sage Ghetsis." N replied.

"We will make haste to the Castle at once. Anthea, Concordia, take the girl to the prisoners' quarters." Ghetsis commanded. "We leave for Liberty Garden in one hour to set in a new order under Team Plasma's reign."

I choked back a sob as reality set it. I'd never get to be with my Pokemon again. No one would. What would Touya and the others think? I looked like nothing more than a failure and a traitor at this point. What was going to happen staying in Team Plasma's castle? Ghetsis was not a fan of mine in the slightest, and N was like a encyclopedia written in hieroglyphs..

I shuddered.

A blanket was tossed over my shoulders and N whispered to me. "You made the only decision you could. This is the way the future was meant to be. I have not a single doubt in my mind about that. Let's be on our way."

His words fell upon deaf ears. Had I really made the right choice? What lied ahead for me, for the rest of Unova?
