'''Magearna Moves''' (Japanese: '''マギアナ、稼働く''' ''Magearna, Move'') is the 595th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the 47th and final chapter of the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}.

==Plot==
Some time after {{adv|X}} had his [[PS594|success ceremony]], {{adv|Trevor}} returns to his life at [[Lumiose City]] working as [[Professor Sycamore]]'s research assistant. One day, he comes across a mysterious, large rolling ball on his way to the lab, where he collaborates with [[Gurkinn's students]] to research [[Mega Evolution]].

Several days later, Trevor and the students take a break and happen to come across [[Cassius]] at a cafè. Cassius explains that he's been the police station; [[Emma]] was arrested on claims of wreaking property damage, necessitating him to give a statement on her alibi. To continue the explanation, Cassius brings Trevor's group to the [[Lumiose Museum]], where one of his gang members has taken up a new receptionist job. Cassius shows Trevor the damage was done, along with a surveillance photo of the Expansion Suit. Despite the Expansion Suit being under police custody, Cassius adds that the police accused Emma of hiding a separate suit to commit the crime; they have also been unable to interrogate [[Xerosic]] for more information due to rich ex-supporters of [[Team Flare]] preventing further investigation.

Studying the photo, Trevor spots the large ball he encountered also in the picture, which the receptionist confirms isn't a match for any of exhibits. Gurkinn's students identify the damage as being caused by {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Fairy}}-type moves. Remembering that {{adv|Y}} lent him her [[Pokédex]], Trevor tries to see if the Pokédex picked up anything on the large ball he encountered, and identifies the ball as {{p|Magearna}}, an artificial Pokémon created over half a millennia ago. Despite knowing that Magearna caused the damage, the group realizes they are no closer to solving the mystery, and decide to hold a stakeout after getting permission from the night watchman.

That night, following a long wait, Trevor and Cassius spot Magearna rolling up a stairway. The team move out to confront Magearna, who shifts into its activated form and begins defending itself against the students' Mega Evolved Pokémon, only briefly stopping at the sight of something and preparing to escape. Cassius orders his {{p|Gourgeist}} to use {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} on Magearna to make the students' attacks do more damage, but Trevor intervenes by having his {{p|Florges}} cover Magearna with {{m|Flower Shield}}. Before he can explain his actions, Trevor is pulled away by Magearna as it escapes. Confused, Cassius notices the night watchman taking one of the paintings, and is shocked to see that it's actually the Expansion Suit in disguise as the Suit breaks out of the museum.

Outside, a dazed Trevor wonders if Magearna pulled him away as thanks for protecting it. Pulling out his [[Holo Caster]], Trevor shows Magearna footage of their battle and asked why it stopped attacking; Magearna points to a painting behind Cassius's Gourgeist as the reason. Trevor guesses that the painting must show someone significant to Magearna, but the pair is quickly accosted by the Expansion Suit, wielding a {{p|Barbaracle}}. While Barbaracle and Magearna trade attacks, Barbaracle forces Magearna to stand down by holding the painting the Expansion Suit stole, letting Barbaracle attack unimpeded. Trevor has Florges cover Barbaracle with {{m|Petal Blizzard}} so she can retrieve the painting, and Magearna uses {{m|Fleur Cannon}} to defeat Barbaracle and break the suit. To Trevor's surprise, the suit is completely empty. In an interrogation room, Xerosic reveals that this other Expansion Suit was a prototype he programmed to seek out Legendary Pokémon for capture, but he abandoned the project once Emma signed on to become Essentia. Believing that his work has developed sentience and autonomy, Xerosic begs for an audience with his lawyer to secure a new sponsor and bail him out of imprisonment.

Returning to the museum, Trevor is greeted by Cassius, Emma and the receptionist. Discussing the events, the receptionist explains that the painting might portray Magearna's creator, and thus the curator has granted Magearna special permission to visit the painting as often as it wants. Trevor prepares to take his leave, revealing that he's been in contact with another Trainer to take custody of the [[Whitley's Delphox|Delphox]] stolen and trained by [[Malva]]. Cassius recalls that Delphox refused to open up to Trevor or any of his friends, and wonders if the newcomer is an intimidating, threatening person. To his confusion, Trevor remarks that the Trainer is someone who any person or Pokémon would want to be friends with. Back at the lab, Trevor is greeted by {{adv|Whitley}}, who has managed to convince Delphox to come with her after considerable effort.

Over a call, Trevor reports to X about recent events. X confirms that both he and Y are at [[Shalour City]], where [[Korrina]] has been overseeing the reconstruction of the [[Tower of Mastery]]. Trevor suggests that Korrina called X and Y over because she felt lonely, and Y joins the call. Trevor confirms that both [[Gurkinn]] and [[Professor Sycamore]] have headed for [[Hoenn]] to continue their investigation into Mega Evolution, and the mention of Hoenn turns Y solemn. Y brings up [[Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc (Adventures)|an incident]] that happened before X moved to Vaniville, remarking that a lot of adults behaved much like how Team Flare did in response to the crisis. Thinking back, Trevor agrees, noting that not just Kalos, but the entire planet was engulfed with despair.

'''Xerneas Gives''' (Japanese: '''ゼルネアス、与える''' ''Xerneas, Give'') is the 593rd chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the 45th chapter of the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}.

==Plot==
With [[Viola]] and [[Yvette]] leading, the team of {{tc|Sky Trainer|Vivillonists}} descend onto [[Kalos Route 10]] to rescue the Pokémon of [[Pokémon Village]] from having their life forces drained away, in order to give [[Alexa]], [[Clemont]] and [[Bonnie]] an opening to destroy the ancient absorbers powering the [[ultimate weapon]]. [[Chalmers]] and his fellow [[Team Flare Admin]] realize that Viola's team has used {{m|Electric Terrain}} and {{m|Safeguard}} to get around their armies of Pokémon guarding the area by preventing their own teams from falling {{status|Sleep|asleep}}. [[Whitley's Delphox|Malva's Delphox]] intervenes, using a {{m|Fire Spin}} from its wand and breathing out {{m|Mystical Fire}} to keep both teams at bay. Viola orders all the {{p|Vivillon}} to join formation with {{m|Hold Hands}} and release an expanding Safeguard to protect them from the fire, and the operation continues anew. Desperate, Chalmers prepares to call for backup, only for [[Wulfric]] to pick up the call, confirming that the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader|Gym Leaders]] have dealt with [[Team Flare]]'s remaining backup and will be on their way to finish the job. Falling to his knees, Chalmers laments that the end has come for Team Flare.

Elsewhere, the [[Vaniville Town]] children continue battling the Team Flare Scientists. With a powerful {{m|Inferno}} from her {{p|Houndoom}}, [[Mable]] melts {{adv|Tierno}}'s roller skates and badly injures him; to her irritation, his {{p|Corphish}} refuses to let go. Tierno confirms that like his Corphish, he refuses to give up the fight, having waited five years to see his friend {{adv|X}} step out into the outside world again. Corphish promptly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Crawdaunt}}, knocking out both Mable and Houndoom with {{m|Guillotine}}. Meanwhile, {{adv|Shauna}} and her {{p|Skitty}} Neko tussle with [[Celosia]] and her {{p|Doublade}} without appearing to deal much damage. Mocking Shauna for her weakness, Celosia taunts Shauna for falling for her {{p|Aegislash}}'s illusions, suggesting that right now she's being affected by an illusion just like before. As Shauna falters, Doublade knocks Neko to the ground, but Shauna has Neko respond with a {{m|Feint Attack}} that instantly knocks Doublade out. Shocked, Celosia inspects Doublade to find that Neko was using {{m|Play Rough}} to smother Doublade's edges with its fur and dull its strength. Shauna admits her weakness, but adds that she came prepared by borrowing [[Korrina's Lucario]] to shield her from Aegislash's powers, and only played along to get Celosia to lower her guard. She orders a combination of {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}} from Lucario, defeating Celosia. Collapsing from the effort, Shauna thinks of [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]], relieved that she avenged all of them. Tierno arrives on the scene, and the two friends ask where {{adv|Trevor}} is.

Caught by [[Croaky]]'s combination attack, [[Bryony]] has her {{p|Bisharp}} tear through the trap with its blades. Seeing a silhouette nearby, Bisharp slices into the neck of what turns out to be a decoy of Trevor made with frubbles. This allows Croaky to strike them both from above with {{m|Water Shuriken}} laced with {{m|Fairy Wind}} from Trevor's {{p|Floette}}, knocking them out. Jumping out from his hiding place, Trevor is caught by Aliana who threatens to decapitate him for real, but Aliana is quickly accosted by Tierno and the others, who threaten to do the same to her if she doesn't stand down. Surrounded and without options, Aliana glumly complies.

With his team of five [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon battling [[Lysandre]] and {{adv|Zygarde}}, X enters a trance, rendering him unable to hear Y's warnings as Lysandre's other Pokémon prepare to attack him directly. Only the intervention of {{adv|Blue}} and [[Blaine]] manage to keep X safe. Blaine confirms that Mega Evolution puts a Trainer's body under considerable strain to maintain the phenomenon; now that X is maintaining five of them at once, his mind and body are under immense pressure and the only thing he can focus on is defeating Zygarde. As the battle continues, {{adv|Y}}, [[Cassius]] and [[Emma]] observe green blobs emerging from Zygarde. Recalling that Zygarde is made out of countless cells, they wonder if X is dealing enough damage to cause Zygarde to break apart, but Blaine suggests that there might be another reason.

Trevor, Tierno and Shauna move to regroup with X and Y, only to find both [[Xerxer]] and {{p|Yveltal}} stuck frozen in a deadlock, with their eyes both blank and Xerxer's horns in Neutral mode. Telepathically, Xerxer reaches out to the five Vaniville children, explaining that it realized that this eventuality would happen as soon as it battled Zygarde, who only appeared in response to the endless battle between itself and Yveltal. Now that Zygarde is being exploited by Lysandre, Xerxer realized the only way to force Zygarde out of the picture is to seal itself and Yveltal away. As the two Legendary Pokémon revert to their dormant forms, Xerxer bids the children farewell and tells them not to give up hope, turning into its tree form with Yveltal's cocoon wrapped around it, before the two sink into the ground. To Lysandre's horror, he finds Zygarde disintegrating into its component cells, and X uses the opportunity to order a combination attack from his five Mega Evolved Pokémon, sending Lysandre flying and dissipating Zygarde. Noticing the battle from above, [[Malva]] tries to reach for Lysandre; her distraction allows [[Diantha]] to knock both Malva and her {{p|Talonflame}} out of the air. As Malva plummets to the ground, Diantha reaches out to grab Malva to safety, but Malva slaps Diantha's hand away to instead reach for Lysandre. The two of them hit the ground with a sickening crunch.

As the onlookers move around him, Lysandre weakly calls out for Malva, asking why the ultimate weapon has not been fired. As X and Y regroup with their friends, Blaine confirms that while Lysandre survived the fall, he also suffered grievous damage to his spinal cord and will likely never fully recover. Laughing bitterly, Malva remarks that both Lysandre and her have fallen from grace; despite Blaine trying to assure her that Lysandre shielded her from significant physical injury, Malva points out that Lysandre will no longer be able to protect her anymore. Diantha asks if Malva's loyalty to Lysandre was out of love for the man, but Malva retorts that she always planned on stabbing Lysandre in the back once Team Flare's plans came to fruition, since Lysandre brought her "nothing but humiliation". Smiling at Diantha, Malva remarks that she would rather die than accept Diantha's pity.

The Kalos Gym Leaders regroup with Viola's team, enjoying a celebratory moment at having prevented the ultimate weapon from firing again. Shauna's {{p|Furfrou}} looks over Malva's defeated Delphox in worry, while the [[Elite Four]] solemnly carry Malva's unconscious body from the battlefield.

With the battle over, the Vaniville children are brought back to [[Lumiose City]] by [[Professor Sycamore]], parting ways with Cassius and Emma. In the city, the children are stunned to see the populace go about their lives as if nothing happened. Shauna is aghast at their attitudes, given how close everyone came to losing their life; Tierno attempts to reassure her, but he overhears some townsfolk referring to him and his friends as dirty street urchins, and his face falls. X remarks that the people of Lumiose are able to be happy-go-lucky unlike them, since they witnessed Vaniville Town's destruction; at the same time, the people who supported Team Flare are now also able to go back to their lives without repercussions. As Y and Shauna voice their disapproval, Trevor begins wondering if they'll ever be able to fit into society again. Just then, [[AZ]] arrives on the scene, asking the children how they intend to continue living in Kalos.

==Major events==
* [[Clemont]]'s team work together to free the captured Pokémon, but are attacked by {{TP|Malva|Delphox}}.
* [[Chalmers]]'s attempts to call for backup, only to find the Gym Leaders have already defeated the other members of Team Flare.
* {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Trevor}} defeat the four Team Flare Scientists.
* Trevor's group goes to help the others, only to find [[Xerxer]] and {{p|Yveltal}} returning to their dormant forms.
* Xerxer reveals that with it and Yveltal gone, {{adv|Zygarde}} would have no reason to remain there.
* {{adv|X}}'s team continues attacking Zygarde, which begins splitting into pieces.
* After a combined attack, Zygarde is fully separated after Xerxer and Yveltal fully revert.
* With nothing to stand on, [[Lysandre]] falls to the rubble below.
* [[Malva]] attempts to save Lysandre, but both end up falling onto the ground and are defeated.
* With Team Flare defeated, X and his friends head back to [[Lumiose City]] and say farewell to their allies.
* Despite their hard work, the townspeople treat X and his friends as if they were dirty street urchins. [[AZ]] then approaches the group and asks how they plan on living in Kalos with the knowledge they had just learned.

'''Zygarde Agitated''' (Japanese: '''ジガルデ、猛る''' ''Zygarde, Rage'') is the 592nd chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, and the 44th chapter of the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}.

==Plot==
In the skies, [[Diantha]] and [[Malva]] continue their battle, but [[Diantha's Gardevoir]] is easily outmaneuvered by Malva's {{p|Talonflame}} in mid-air. Grinning to see Talonflame excited by the battle, Malva expresses her wish to have [[Lysandre]] witness her fight. Elsewhere, {{adv|Trevor}} hides from [[Bryony]] and her {{p|Bisharp}}, barely managing to escape Bisharp slicing the tree he's hiding behind into planks. Suddenly, the planks turn and surround Bryony and Bisharp; Trevor finds that [[Croaky]] used a combination of {{m|Mat Block}} and its frubbles to imprison the two, realizing that {{adv|Y}} left him behind to help. At [[Santalune City]], [[Alexa]] discusses the story of the [[ultimate weapon]] with her sister [[Viola]], recalling that the weapon can be used repeatedly if given enough life forces to power it up. Recalling that the day coincides with the anniversary of the weapon's firing 3,000 years ago, Alexa admits having a bad feeling of what's to come.

Back at [[Pokémon Village]], [[Emma]] continues relaying Lysandre's commands despite X's pleas for her to stop. {{adv|Zygarde}} launches a {{m|Dragon Pulse}} that finally defeats [[Blaine]] and {{adv|Mewtwo}}, prompting Lysandre to order Emma to finish the job. X begs Emma to stop again, but Emma simply reiterates that following Lysandre's orders is her job, and she's willingly doing it to help raise money for [[Cassius]]. At this, X realizes how he can reach out to Emma, reminding Emma that Cassius always looked out for her even if she couldn't help him with the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. X goes over his own past of shutting himself away from fearing the outside world, refusing to come out of his room and believing that he had nothing until [[Team Flare]] and the attack on [[Vaniville Town]] forced him on his journey. Despite this, he found that not only did his friends and Pokémon not treat him any differently, he also met other people who offered him and his friends help in spite of their circumstances, causing him to slowly get over his fears of the outside. Expressing empathy and solidarity with Emma, X implores her not to turn her back on Cassius and the Pokémon in her life who care for her.

Her convictions shaken, Emma tries to resist Lysandre's next commands, struggling against the Expansion Suit's influence as she falls to the ground in pain from the effort. Arriving on the scene, Cassius thanks X for his intervention before calling out Lysandre, accusing him of exploiting Emma for his goals even if it means killing her. When Lysandre doesn't deny this, Cassius prepares to take Emma home, causing Lysandre to panic; calling out to Emma, Lysandre claims that wearing the Expansion Suit gives Emma power and makes her worthy of living in the new world Team Flare plans to create. Angrily, Cassius declares that Lysandre has no right to destroy and ruin the lives of others, having his {{p|Gourgeist}} destroy the Expansion Suit's remote control. No longer under Lysandre's control, Emma tries to order Zygarde to attack Lysandre, but Lysandre's {{p|Gyarados}} scoops her up in his mouth and tosses her aside, allowing Lysandre to take Zygarde's Poké Ball and put it under his control. With another {{m|Land's Wrath}}, Lysandre sends Emma and Cassius flying.

From above, Y orders {{p|Absol|Solsol}} to attack Lysandre, and Solsol bites onto Lysandre's hand. Lysandre orders a {{m|Noble Roar}} from his [[Lysandre's Pyroar|Pyroar]], who roars at Solsol before biting on it and pulling it off Lysandre, but not before Solsol bites the [[Key Stone]] off his finger, causing Gyarados' [[Mega Evolution]] to revert. Clutching his bloodied finger, Lysandre snarls at Y for stealing his Key Stone, which Y retorts by pointing out that he stole the Stone from [[Korrina]] in the first place. Enraged, Lysandre has Gyarados blast Y out of the air with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Taking a call from his subordinates, Lysandre is pleased to hear that the new plans for launching the ultimate weapon are in place, and uses his [[Holo Caster]] to broadcast a final message to all of [[Kalos]], declaring that Team Flare will begin their operation to purge Kalos of those not chosen by Team Flare. While most of the citizenry is confused and unfazed, Alexa and Viola are alarmed by the implication that the weapon will be fired again, until they are approached by [[Yvette|another figure]].

Back at Pokémon Village, X and Y gather the beaten bodies of their allies. X picks up Diantha's dropped Key Stone from the ground, and Y acknowledges her possession of Korrina's retrived Key Stone, but notes that having multiple Key Stones on hand won't help them at all. Recalling the mechanics of Mega Evolution, X slips Blue's Key Stone ring off his finger, asking Y to hand over the Key Stones in her possession. Meanwhile, the operation at [[Kalos Route 10]] has begun, with the Pokémon stolen from Pokémon Village pressed against the menhirs, writhing in agony as their life force is drained away to power the ultimate weapon again. The [[Team Flare Admin]] [[Chalmers]] and his colleague look on in unease, but note that the [[Whitley's Delphox|Delphox]] Malva left behind is calm and collected. They note that with an army of {{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Amoonguss}} guarding the nearby routes, any intruders would be put to {{status|Sleep|sleep}}. They call Lysandre, who prepares to head to [[Geosenge Town]], only to be confronted by X. With the Key Stones of Diantha, Blaine, Y and Korrina along with his own, X performs a simultaneous Mega Evolution for his five Pokémon: [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga]], [[Salamè]], [[Élec]], Garma and Rute.

Shocked yet impressed, Lysandre orders another Dragon Pulse to attack X, but the effects of the move are lessened due to Y having {{p|Sylveon|Veevee}} use {{m|Misty Terrain}} to reduce the damage, giving X an opportunity to strike back. At Route 10, Delphox notices electricity sparking through the grass, prompting it to light its wand and prepare for battle. However, this causes a massive explosion to erupt through the field; as the Team Flare Admins panic, a voice declares that the {{m|Powder}} trap laid by her team's {{p|Vivillon}} has been set off by the fire. The team is revealed to comprise Yvette, Alexa, Viola, [[Clemont]] and [[Bonnie]], who have arrived to put a stop to Team Flare's operation.

'''Mewtwo Angered''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー、怒る''' ''Mewtwo, Get Enraged'') is the 591st chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
With [[Emma|Essentia]] looming over [[Blue (Adventures)|Blue]] and [[X (Adventures)|X]] atop [[Zygarde (Adventures)|Zygarde]], X is surprised to see that Essentia captured Zygarde after all, but questions why [[Team Flare]] didn't know of it. [[Lysandre]] reveals that until recently, Essentia had Zygarde stored in her [[Pokémon Storage System]], which is why they had no knowledge of it. X questions why Essentia isn't acting under Team Flare's command, and Lysandre muses that [[Xerosic]] must still have a shred of compassion left in him: the Expansion Suit he provided Essentia with puts the test subject inside under a state of hypnosis, and can only be used for a limited time before the hypnosis wears off and he loses control of the test subject. The mechanism exists to protect the test subject's body from deteriorating from prolonged usage of the suit, but Lysandre adds that he has since removed that restriction, allowing him to use a remote control device to manipulate Essentia's every move, including her control of Zygarde.

At this, [[Blaine]] walks onto the scene, revealing himself to be the one who [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] [[Mewtwo (Adventures)|Mewtwo]], remarking that Xerosic ultimately still has some redeeming qualities. Declaring himself as a man of science who once walked the wrong path just as Xerosic did, Blaine resolves to help end the current crisis. Lysandre orders Essentia to have Zygarde use [[Land's Wrath (move)|Land's Wrath]], catching the men in a massive attack that catches the attention of [[Cassius]] driving from afar, prompting him to head over.

Just as [[Malva]] has her [[Talonflame (Pokémon)|Talonflame]] attempt to strike [[Diantha]], she manages to release her [[Diantha's Gardevoir|Gardevoir]] and intercept the blow. Malva notes that Diantha had Gardevoir's Poké Ball under her shoe and used her heel to activate it; a [[PS037|tactic]] which Diantha confirms she heard from Blue. She reaches for her [[Key Stone]], only to find that Malva has taken her Mega Charm. Gloating that she can now use Mega Evolution like Lysandre, Malva escapes on her Talonflame, prompting Diantha to give chase with Gardevoir levitating her with its telekinetic powers.

With [[Y (Adventures)|Y]] riding Solsol, she attempts to make it back to [[Shauna (Adventures)|Shauna]] and [[Tierno (Adventures)|Tierno]], only to get caught up in muddy ground torn up by [[Aliana|Aliana's]] [[Diggersby (Pokémon)|Diggersby]] using [[Rototiller (move)|Rototiller]]. Y's [[Sylveon (Pokémon)|Veevee]] uses [[Disarming Voice (move)|Disarming Voice]] to knock Aliana's [[Pumpkaboo (Pokémon)|Pumpkaboo]] back, but Pumpkaboo retaliates with a [[Seed Bomb (move)|Seed Bomb]] boosted by Rototiller. Noticing this, [[Trevor (Adventures)|Trevor]] has his [[Flabébé (Pokémon)|Flabébé]] use [[Razor Leaf (move)|Razor Leaf]], leveraging the same boost to knock Diggersby out, which causes Flabébé to [[Evolution|evolve]] into [[Floette (Pokémon)|Floette]]. Trevor is surprised by this, believing that he hasn't been fighting as hard as his friends, but Y reminds him of all the times he stood up to Team Flare, pointing out that he's just as much of a capable fighter as they are. Grateful, Trevor asks Y to head back to X's group while he fends off [[Bryony]] and Aliana alone.

At the center of Zygarde's attack, X's group lies staggered around the battlefield. Noticing that Mewtwo has stopped moving, Lysandre recognizes the connection between Blaine and Mewtwo and orders his [[Gyarados (Pokémon)|Gyarados]] to attack Blaine; the backlash from Blaine's pain causes Mewtwo to flinch and revert back to its normal state. Amused, Lysandre has Essentia order a [[Camouflage (move)|Camouflage]] from Zygarde, ready to attack the group unseen, but just as Zygarde follows up with a [[Crunch (move)|Crunch]], Blaine manages to swap out Mewtwo's Mega Stone, allowing it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X and block Zygarde's attack. Blaine reveals that due to his unique bond with Mewtwo, the both of them can bypass the normal rule of one Mega Evolution per battle, but Lysandre gloats that in spite of this, all Mewtwo can do is hold back Zygarde's move. X takes the chance to attempt breaking Lysandre's hold over Essentia by having [[Marisso]] attack the Expansion Suit with [[Pin Missile (move)|Pin Missile]], only for Lysandre's Gyarados to attack him. With Solsol's help, Y manages to fend Gyarados off, and X's next attack proves successful. As he walks over to Essentia, he is stunned to see that the test subject wearing the Expansion Suit is none other than Emma.

Spotting Diantha and Malva in the sky, Y has [[Fletchy]] blast Malva with fire, forcing the latter to drop Diantha's Mega Charm onto the battlefield. Blue picks up the Charm, believing that multiple Mega Evolutions may be the key to turning the tide of battle. X tries to help Emma out of the suit, but Emma reveals that even under the suit's hypnosis, she's aware of everything she's done as Essentia. Despite this, Emma states that all her life, she's only known meanness and cruelty from others; the suit gave her confidence and strength like she's never had, and thus she refuses to take off the suit even if it destroys her. X pleads with Emma, citing that Team Flare must be stopped, but Emma asks him if Team Flare's defeat would lead to people finally being nice to her.

Meanwhile, Y offers to help Diantha fight Malva, but Diantha rejects the offer, declaring that she must fight the battle alone as the Champion of Kalos.

'''Yveltal Steals''' (Japanese: '''イベルタル、奪う''' ''Yveltal, Take'') is the 590th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
[[Xerxer]] continues battling [[Yveltal (Pokémon)|Yveltal]] as [[Trevor (Adventures)|Trevor]], [[Y (Adventures)|Y]], [[Blue (Adventures)|Blue]] and [[X (Adventures)|X]] watch on with [[Blue's Charizard|their]] [[Salamè|Charizard]], with Yveltal using [[Oblivion Wing (move)|Oblivion Wing]] and [[Phantom Force (move)|Phantom Force]] to attack Xerxer with increasing ferocity. As the group debates helping Xerxer to swing the battle in its favor, Xerxer telepathically reminds them that their priority is to head to [[Pokémon Village]] and stop the [[ultimate weapon]] from being activated again. Y volunteers to stay behind with Trevor to regroup with [[Shauna (Adventures)|Shauna]] and [[Tierno (Adventures)|Tierno]], and Blue states that he sneaked [[Diantha]] out of the battle with [[Xerosic]] so she can also head to the Village. However, as the two Charizard wielders fly off, it turns out that Diantha has already been cornered by [[Malva]], who has her [[Talonflame (Pokémon)|Talonflame]] strike Diantha with its wings to finish her off.

As Blue and X fly over [[Snowbelle City]] towards Pokémon Village, X considers the information at hand: while Xerxer and Yveltal are fighting harder than ever, [[Zygarde (Adventures)|Zygarde]] hasn't shown up in response to their battle despite [[Team Flare]] claiming no knowledge of its capture. The two of them reach the Village to find it deserted, only to be suddenly attacked by [[Mewtwo (Adventures)|Mewtwo]], who Blue recognizes. Despite this, Mewtwo is in an intense rage and refuses to heed Blue's calls, sending the two Trainers flying back with [[Psywave (move)|Psywave]]. [[Lysandre]] arrives on the scene, gloating that Mewtwo has decided to deal with his enemies instead, revealing that Mewtwo is the guardian of Pokémon Village who hid itself away until a night prior. Blue concludes that Team Flare kidnapped the village Pokémon to power the ultimate weapon, which Lysandre doesn't deny, and calls for the boys to put up a good fight with Mewtwo so he can capture it after it's been weakened. As if in response to this, Mewtwo releases a barrage of [[Psystrike (move)|Psystrike]] into the air, but redirects the attack at the last minute to hit Lysandre and his [[Gyarados (Pokémon)|Gyarados]] instead. As Lysandre scowls, Mewtwo suddenly [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Mewtwo Y, causing Blue and Lysandre to realize that the Trainer responsible must be nearby. Recognizing this, Lysandre produces a remote control and activates it.

At his house in [[Camphrier Town]], [[Cassius]] and his gang realize that [[Emma]] accessed her [[Pokémon Storage System|Pokémon Storage]] a few days prior at [[Kalos Route 22|Route 22]], prompting them to head out to search for her. As Mewtwo fights all of Lysandre's Pokémon at once, Zygarde suddenly emerges from the ground with a terrific upheaval.

* {{adv|Y}} and {{adv|Trevor}} decide to stay behind and help {{adv|Tierno}} and {{adv|Shauna}} while {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Blue}} head to the [[Pokémon Village]].

'''Charizard Transforms''' (Japanese: '''リザードン、化わる化わる''' ''{{tt|Lizardon|Charizard}}, Change Change'') is the 589th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
The [[Vaniville Town]] children, sans [[X (Adventures)|X]], are surprised to learn that [[Salamè|Salamé]] has been holding onto a [[Mega Stone]] all this time. While [[Xerosic]] insists that no records exist of a [[Charizard (Pokémon)|Charizard]] undergoing [[Mega Evolution]], [[Blue (Adventures)|Blue]] - finally waking up himself - proposes that he and [[Blue's Charizard|his Charizard]] are living proof of that phenomena, revealing his own Key Stone and Mega Stone. The group notices that the two Mega Stones are of different colors, prompting Xerosic to gloat that at least one of them must not be Charizard's corresponding Mega Stone, and sends out four [[Crobat (Pokémon)|Crobat]] to attack. Blue orders [[Y (Adventures)|Y]] to lead the others towards [[Pokémon Village]] while he and X hold Xerosic off; using an [[Awakening]] on [[Croaky]], Y orders a [[Smokescreen (move)|Smokescreen]] to mask their escape. Under the cover of the smokescreen, Salamé finally [[Evolution|evolves]] into Charizard, much to Xerosic's dismay. Just then, he receives a call from [[Aliana]], who declares that she and the other Team Flare Scientists will intercept Y's group. The four scientists swoop down on Y's group and separate them.

As Salamé struggles to fend off Xerosic's Malamar, Blue points out to X that his Pokémon is waiting for him to use Mega Evolution. The remark strengthens X's resolve, and the two Mega Evolution wielders Mega Evolve their Charizard into Mega Charizard X and Y. Barely dodging an attack from Aliana, Y yells out for her friends, with [[Shauna (Adventures)|Shauna]] facing [[Celosia]] and [[Tierno (Adventures)|Tierno]] fighting off [[Mable]], resolving to fight for themselves. [[Trevor (Adventures)|Trevor]] is cornered by [[Bryony]], who remarks that she won't let him, his friends or [[Zygarde (Adventures)|Zygarde]] interfere with [[Team Flare]], causing Trevor to realize that Team Flare means to activate the [[ultimate weapon]] again. With his [[Flabébé (Pokémon)|Flabébé]] covering for him, Trevor attempts to escape from Bryony's [[Bisharp (Pokémon)|Bisharp]].

With Xerosic's team no match for two Mega Evolved Charizard, X and Blue mount their Pokémon and fly towards Pokémon Village, only to realize that Y's group has been split apart. Salamé manages to rescue Trevor as Blue's Charizard blasts Bisharp away, but as Trevor warns X of Team Flare's new plan, Blue's Charizard is hit by a blast that resembles the attack from the ultimate weapon, and is soon attacked by [[Yveltal (Pokémon)|Yveltal]]. Y manages to send out [[Xerxer]] to intercept, giving the group a breather to exchange information. Y recalls the Pokémon who Shauna and Tierno saw drained of their life force, prompting X to conclude that Team Flare attacked the Pokémon Village to gather more sources of life force to power the ultimate weapon again.

On [[Kalos Route 10|Route 10]], [[Team Flare Grunt (Trainer class)|Team Flare Grunts]] secure the captured Pokémon to the ancient Absorbers. Shauna's [[Furfrou (Pokémon)|Furfrou]] is among them, and it recognizes [[Whitley's Delphox|Malva's Delphox]] as the [[Fennekin (Pokémon)|Fennekin]] that got separated from X's group, calling out to Delphox but is ignored. In the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], [[Emma|Essentia]] curls up on the ground, clutching her head as she suffers a migraine.

'''Chesnaught Protects''' (Japanese: '''ブリガロン、守る''' ''{{tt|Brigarron|Chesnaught}}, Protect'') is the 588th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
As [[X (Adventures)|X]] demands an explanation from [[Xerosic]] for why he ambushed the group before they entered [[Pokémon Village]], the Scientist's [[Malamar (Pokémon)|Malamar]] attempts to attack him, only to be held back by [[Croaky]]. X manages to pin Xerosic down, and Xerosic claims that he came to the Village, a haven where Pokémon abused by humans live, to regain the trust of [[Lysandre]]. Xerosic recounts that he has been a genius inventor ever since childhood, but despite parental support and commercial success, he never felt satisfied, and his mind began gravitating towards forbidden topics of research such as mind control. Eventually, Lysandre recruited him and supported his projects, even teaching Xerosic how to look at the world from different perspectives. After helping Xerosic's [[Inkay (Pokémon)|Inkay]] [[Evolution|evolve]] by turning it upside-down, Lysandre opened Xerosic's eyes to overlooking his code of ethics to fulfill his goals, such as discriminating between those worthy and unworthy of help. Xerosic adds that with Lysandre's new disappointment in him, he has cut all funding and support for Xerosic's projects, which Xerosic refuses to accept, and has Malamar hound Croaky with [[Hypnosis (move)|Hypnosis]].

X realizes that Malamar's [[Contrary (Ability)|Contrary]] [[Ability]] means that Malamar has gained a boost to its [[Stats|Speed]] despite being hit with Croaky's [[Bubble (move)|Bubble]], and orders a [[Double Team (move)|Double Team]] to evade Malamar's attacks while waking up his group with Croaky's tongue. Xerosic has Malamar use [[Topsy-Turvy (move)|Topsy-Turvy]] to reverse the change, allowing Malamar to nail Croaky with Hypnosis at last and put it to [[Sleep (status condition)|sleep]], leaving X with [[Salamè]] as his only capable fighter. X begs Salamé to come out of his Poké Ball, but Salamé refuses, allowing Malamar to slam X into the ground. Gloating, Xerosic has Malamar attempt to pierce through Salamé's Poké Ball, only for Salamé to roll away inside his Ball until cornered. Before Malamar can destroy Salamé's Ball, [[Marisso]] manages to recover from his sleep and uses his body to shield Salamé, to the shock of X and Xerosic. Despite Malamar unleashing a barrage of [[Night Slash (move)|Night Slash]], Marisso refuses to yield. Waking up, [[Trevor (Adventures)|Trevor]] suggests that Marisso knows that Salamé must be key to their victory, and the two Pokémon have been best friends ever since they started living under [[Professor Sycamore|Professor Sycamore's]] care. Under Malamar's relentless attacks, Marisso evolves into a [[Chesnaught (Pokémon)|Chesnaught]], but eventually runs out of stamina and collapses.

Pleased, Xerosic picks up Salamé's Poké Ball, only to find that Salamé has already let himself out. X asks Salamé if he has finally made his decision, and Salamé nods, prompting the rest of X's waking friends to ask why. X reveals that ever since the group [[PS584|witnessed]] the sundial phenomena at [[Anistar City]], Salamé was unsure of his ability to handle [[Mega Evolution]] and stayed in his Ball out of fear. Trevor is surprised, pointing out that [[Team Flare|Team Flare's]] list of [[Mega Stone|Mega Stones]] never mentioned one for [[Charizard (Pokémon)|Charizard]], but X asserts that he suspected that Charizard does, pointing out that while Salamé has always been clumsy and uncoordinated, he eventually became inspired by Marisso protecting him and the strength exhibited by [[Blue's Charizard]]. Xerosic insists that Charizard doesn't have a corresponding Mega Stone and promises to defeat X before the latter can find it, but X replies that he doesn't have to search: Salamé has always been holding onto his Mega Stone and kept it safe by holding onto his tail all the time. Sure enough, Salamé blows on his tail, revealing a [[Charizardite X]] hidden in the flame, much to the surprise of everyone else.

From atop a cliff, the four Team Flare Scientists - [[Mable]], [[Aliana]], [[Celosia]] and [[Bryony]] - muse at the predicament Xerosic is in, and how the children's teamwork has improved. They resolve to regroup with Xerosic and defeat the children.

==Major events==
* {{adv|X}} continues to interrogate [[Xerosic]], who refuses to give a straight answer.
* Xerosic reveals how he met [[Lysandre]].
* [[Croaky]] is defeated by {{p|Malamar}}, leaving X with only [[Salamè]], who still refuses to leave his Poké Ball.
* Xerosic attempts to attack Salamè's Poké Ball, but is stopped by [[Marisso]], who evolves into a {{p|Chesnaught}} to protect Salamè.
* Seeing his friend protect him gives Salamè the courage to come out and fight.
* X reveals the reason Salamè refused to come out was because he was scared that he couldn't handle [[Mega Evolution]].
* Despite Xerosic's confidence that {{p|Charizard}} doesn't have a Mega Evolution, Salamè blows on his tail to reveal a [[Charizardite X]].

'''Floette Returns''' (Japanese: '''フラエッテ、戻る''' ''Floette, Come Back'') is the 594th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
Looming over the [[Vaniville Town]] children, [[AZ]] asks them how they intend to live from now on. Recalling the disdain from the citizens of [[Lumiose City]], [[Y (Adventures)|Y]], [[Tierno (Adventures)|Tierno]] and [[Shauna (Adventures)|Shauna]] confess that they have begun doubting if their fight against Team Flare was worth it in the end. AZ brings out the key to the [[ultimate weapon]], revealing that he was the one who made it and retrieved the key from the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], explaining that the weapon can't be reactivated without the key and he does not wish to see the tragedy from 3,000 years ago repeat itself. Despite this, [[X (Adventures)|X]] and Y ask AZ why he didn't simply destroy the key and risked letting Team Flare stealing it from him. AZ admits that a part of him still believed that a day of great despair may come when the ultimate weapon has to be used again, which prevented him from destroying it for good. Seeing the intimidated citizens of Lumiose City crowd around them, AZ declares that their world is still filled with intolerant and xenophobic people, just as it was 3,000 years prior, and that "everything must end".

As AZ turns to leave, the children realize that he means to reactivate the ultimate weapon and chase after him, causing AZ to send out his [[Golurk]] to attack. As her friends protect each other and the townspeople, Y yells at AZ to stop, prompting him to ask her why she's doing this for people she believed weren't worth saving. Y responds that this was the same philosophy that [[Lysandre]] and Team Flare espoused. As Golurk prepares to blast Y, X orders a [[Pin Missile (move)|Pin Missile]] from [[Marisso]] to intercept the move, only for AZ to leap into the barrage and take the attack with his body to everyone's surprise. Recalling Golurk, AZ shows the children the shattered remains of the ultimate weapon's key, declaring with a smile that they have convinced him of their answer. Y realizes that AZ's actions weren't just to prevent the ultimate weapon from being used, but also to encourage them from not taking the same path Lysandre did. Finally at peace, AZ prepares to leave when he sees a familiar petal land in his hand; looking up, he is shocked to see the return of his friend, the [[Eternal Flower Floette]], and he falls to his knees in tears. As the group watches AZ depart, [[Trevor (Adventures)|Trevor]] guesses that Lysandre must have lost himself in despair after years of philanthropy in a bid to help the disadvantaged, and his bitterness led him to founding Team Flare in the first place.

To the group's surprise, they turn to see [[Professor Sycamore]] and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader|Gym Leaders]] having gathered behind them to investigate the brief commotion AZ caused. To Shauna's joy, a [[Furfrou]] next to [[Clemont]] and [[Bonnie]] leaps at her, confirming that she has finally reunited with her long-lost Pokémon. Clemont also hands [[Whitley's Delphox|Malva's Delphox]] over to Trevor, revealing that his team faced it in a tough battle and defeated it, but Shauna's Furfrou stood guard over it and refused to leave, leading him to conclude that it was connected to Trevor's group somehow. Grimly, Trevor realizes that Delphox was the missing [[Fennekin]] that he'd been searching for. Professor Sycamore declares that he intends to host a parade to honor the Vaniville children, only to be stunned when they decline his offer after a brief discussion. X points out that they still have many affairs to settle before they can think about celebrating, and the five friends turn to head for home. Following a long journey through Kalos, X's group finally reaches Vaniville Town, where Y has a heartfelt reunion with her mother [[Grace (Kalos)|Grace]].

Three months later, the Vaniville Town children returned to pursuing their dreams, with Shauna establishing herself as a full-time Furfrou stylist and Tierno forming a popular dance troupe with the children living in Lumiose City's back alleys. Trevor has also moved to Lumiose City to become Professor Sycamore's research assistant, in order to replace [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]] who have gone to the [[Alola]] region. In a flashback, [[Blue (Adventures)|Blue]], [[Blaine]] and Professor Sycamore discuss sighting a [[Zygarde Core]] after the battle against Lysandre; Professor Sycamore confirms that a similar creature was sighted in Alola, and deploys Sina and Dexio to investigate.

Separately, Y has returned to her training to become a [[Sky Trainer (Trainer class)|Sky Trainer]], while X dismantles the tent he built over [[Rhyhorn (Pokémon)|Rhyrhy]] now their journey has finished. X confirms that he's headed to [[Shalour City]] at [[Korrina|Korrina's]] request so he can go through the ceremony to become an official [[Mega Evolution]] [[Successor (Trainer class)|Successor]]. Y muses that [[Yvette]] has likewise been encouraging her to pursue becoming a [[Vivillon (Pokémon)|Vivillonist]], asking X to visit their friends when he passes by Lumiose City. X thanks Y, who gleefully asks him to repeat it again much to his embarrassment.

At Shalour City, Korrina is annoyed that X failed to invite his friends to witness his own succession ceremony, pointing out that [[Gurkinn]] and [[Gurkinn's students|his students]], Blue, Blaine and [[Diantha]] are all in attendance. Pointing out that X couldn't have mastered Mega Evolution without his friends, Korrina badgers X into inviting them over, and all of them agree to do so despite the last-minute request. With [[Alexa]] and [[Viola]] recording the event, X and [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|L'il Kanga]] are officially recognized as true Successors of Mega Evolution.

'''Overthrowing a Tyrunt''' (Japanese: '''チゴラス、砕く''' ''{{tt|Chigoras|Tyrunt}}, Break'') is the 566th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
With [[Clemont]] using his Aipom Arm to search for the [[Mega Stone]] in a tree, the {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} already hiding inside tries his best to avoid Clemont's camera, only to be caught while he muses about his journey to join [[Team Flare]]. {{adv|Shauna}} yells that the grunt is a villain, prompting Clemont to use his Aipom Arm to attack the grunt, sending him and his {{p|Tyrunt}} to fall out. No longer needing to hide, the grunt has his Tyrunt tear up the tree with its powerful jaw, sending it crashing down on the group of friends before Clemont can grab the Mega Stone. Despite Clemont managing to retrieve the Stone, the grunt pins him under the trunk and steals it from him anyway. The grunt sends out a group of four {{p|Espurr}} to attack the group, keeping {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}} at bay with their {{t|Psychic}} powers. Y tells X to give chase to the grunt, so X asks {{p|Manectric}} and {{adv|Trevor}} to follow him while the others keep the Espurr occupied. As she uses her {{p|Rhyhorn}} to rescue Clemont, Clemont reveals that he saw {{kal|Grace}} the previous day, much to Y's surprise.

X, Trevor and Manectric chase the fleeing Tyrunt to [[Parfum Palace]], losing it in the hedge maze. Before X and Trevor can deliberate whether they should risk entering, Manectric leaps into the maze, forcing them to follow. As the boys, Manectric, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga]] search, X realizes that Tyrunt isn't just running away, it's leading them around the maze for some reason. His fears are proven right as Tyrunt dives into Kanga's pouch, stealing Li'l Kanga's Mega Stone. Meanwhile, Y demands answers from Clemont, who recalls that Grace was also taken away by a group of Team Flare Grunts.

The commotion from X's chase draws the attention of [[Cassius]], who has been using Parfum Palace as a base of operations and looks up from a videocall with {{adv|Bill}}, much to the latter's annoyance. Cassius tells Bill not to worry since he's been running the [[Kalos]] [[Pokémon Storage System]] for years without issue, gently poking fun at Bill's [[Goldenrod City|Goldenrod]] accent before ending the call. He tells his gang of punk girls that he's decided to investigate the ruckus going on outside.

With Kanga and Li'l Kanga's Mega Stone stolen, Trevor is at a loss of what to do next. The Team Flare Grunt gloats at having successfully retrieved two Mega Stones, referring to them with their proper names: [[Kangaskhanite]] and [[Manectite]]. Seeing the boys confused, the grunt decides to tell them that every Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]] has a specific matching Mega Stone, taunting them that despite having two of such Pokémon, they no longer have the Mega Stones to use. To Trevor's surprise, X encourages Trevor by saying that they've now obtained more information on Mega Evolution, and asks Manectric if that was why it [[PS63|followed them]] all the way from the [[Lumiose Gym]] after seeing Kanga and Li'l Kanga Mega Evolve. X asks Manectric if it wants to be his Pokémon, which Manectric happily confirms. Giving Manectric the new [[nickname]] of [[Élec]], X rides it into battle.

Seeing X's initiative, Trevor realizes that Pokémon who can Mega Evolve have an innate drive to seek out their corresponding Mega Stone. He also observes that X has had many hunches throughout their journey that were proven right, and guesses that years of hiding away in paranoia have combined with X's natural affinity for battle to heighten his senses and insights. Trevor is happy to see that X is finally coming out of his shell as X orders a {{m|Wild Charge}} from Élec.

'''Fast-Thinking Froakie''' (Japanese: '''ケロマツ、消える''' ''{{tt|Keromatsu|Froakie}}, Disappear'') is the 565th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
While the group continues to travel, {{adv|Y}} gets in some practice with her {{tc|Sky Trainer}} routines alongside [[Fletchy]]. A sudden change in wind direction sends her hurtling towards the ground, but the {{p|Froakie}} traveling with them uses a bed of its frubbles to cushion her fall. {{adv|Trevor}} sends an update to [[Professor Sycamore]], revealing that Y has decided to keep Froakie and [[Nickname|nicknamed]] it [[Croaky]]. Before Y can strip out of her Sky Trainer uniform, {{adv|Shauna}} pulls {{adv|X}} out from the tent on top of Y's {{p|Rhyhorn}} and forces her to change out of sight. Trevor adds that he wishes to apologize for losing the [[Whitley's Delphox|Fennekin]] that he was also given, but he has no idea where to start looking. All of a sudden, Y bolts out of the tent screaming, claiming that something has run into the tent with her - which turns out to be an {{p|Electrike}} that has run away with her clothes. Croaky covers Y up as Shauna orders the boys to chase after Electrike.

At the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], {{kal|Grace}} is thrown into a jail cell as a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} and {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Chalmers}} discuss her recent escape, expressing frustration at her constant attempts while also acknowledging their network of operatives, who will track her down and make a complete escape impossible. As the Team Flare members leave Grace with five locks on her cell, the other imprisoned townspeople of [[Vaniville Town]] ask if she's alright, and if she managed to get any news from the outside world, which Grace sadly denies. Thinking back to the [[PS550|fateful day]], Grace recalls returning from a Rhyhorn race only to find the town in chaos, before she was caught in an explosion. After coming to, she and the other townsfolk were locked up and only let out to work on a mysterious project. The townspeople all start to lose hope at Grace's constant recaptures, but she tries to encourage them, assuring that they'll all be able to go home one day.

Walking along the path, [[Clemont]] reads one of the magazines that [[Grant]] handed him, learning that Grace is a famous Rhyhorn Racer and her daughter is following in her footsteps. He is briefly distracted by the group of Y and her friends chasing after Electrike for her clothes. With a storm of its frubbles, Croaky blocks Electrike's escape and engages it in battle, using {{m|Double Team}} and a body double made of frubbles to avoid Electrike's {{t|Electric}} attacks, managing to retrieve Y's clothes. As Clemont catches up to the group, he recognizes Y from the magazine he was reading as the group wonder why Electrike tried to steal Y's clothes, only for Electrike to jump on Y and try to yank up her sky suit. X suggests that Electrike wants Y to use her sky suit to fly somewhere high and look for something, based on its actions of looking upwards, which Electrike confirms. Annoyed, Y tries to decline the request, only for Electrike to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Manectric}} while perched on her head. Under pressure from the additional weight, Y hurriedly accedes to Manectric's request and prepares to change into her uniform again.

Seeing all this, Clemont introduces himself to the group, revealing that he's overheard their problem and volunteers the use of his Aipom Arm, only for the group of friends to believe he is untrustworthy and back off. However, X realizes that Clemont's Aipom Arm has a camera and sensor built in, which would make it more useful for searching. The group decides to trust Clemont seeing that X doesn't mind him. Clemont asks Manectric what it wants to look for, and X has [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]] take out her [[Mega Stone]], suggesting that Manectric wants to look for one of its own. Using his technology, Clemont deploys his Aipom Arm to look for one in a nearby tree, eventually finding one in its branches. However, another Team Flare Grunt has also set his eyes on the stone with his {{p|Tyrunt}}.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Y}} decided to add {{p|Froakie}} to her team and named it [[Croaky]].
* An [[Élec|Electrike]] attacks Y and steals her [[List of clothing (X and Y)|clothes]].
* Croaky defeats Electrike and retrieves Y's clothes.
* [[Team Flare]] locks {{kal|Grace}} in a cell.
* [[Clemont]] introduces himself to the group and reveals Electrike is from the [[Lumiose Gym]].
* Electrike [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Manectric}}.
* {{adv|X}} realizes that Manectric was leading them to something that it wanted at the top of a tree.
* The item is revealed to be another [[Mega Stone]], which a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}} is also looking for.

'''Corphish Pinches''' (Japanese: '''ヘイガニ、はさむ''' ''{{tt|Heigani|Corphish}}, Grip'') is the 564th chapter of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
West of [[Lumiose City]] lies [[Kalos Route 5]], where the group finds themselves at the local skate park, frequented by roller skaters from across the country to demonstrate their skills. With the clip-on skates he received from [[Korrina]], {{adv|Tierno}} proves to be just as skilled and puts on a performance that earns him applause from his friends, their Pokémon and other bystanders. The sight prompts {{adv|Trevor}} to think about the group's dreams, including Tierno's dream of being a dancer. While Tierno is happy at this, he's also concerned that his display risks drawing the attention of [[Team Flare]], but {{adv|Shauna}} points out that {{adv|X}} himself wanted to come, so there shouldn't be a problem if "Team Flare's biggest target said it was fine". The group notes that X has been hiding under the tent above {{adv|Y}}'s {{p|Rhyhorn}} ever since to study the [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédex]].

Looking at the Pokédex, X thinks over [[Professor Sycamore]]'s explanation on how the Pokédex divides Pokémon based on the three regions of [[Kalos]] and is designed to switch between them. He finds that the Pokédex not only tracks information on Pokémon he has and their [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolutions]], but data on Pokémon he's encountered as well. Scrolling through, X discovers that the Pokédex has indeed picked up on [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}}, only for Y to ask if he's ready to go. X declines, also pointing out that Tierno wants to skate more, and Trevor points to a skate rail on a nearby hill Tierno can use.

Glancing over the course, Tierno proceeds to skate down it only to collide into a stranger. As he gets up, Tierno discovers that the stranger has dropped a document titled "[[Poké Ball Factory]] Takeover Plan". The stranger, revealed to be a [[Team Flare Admin]], also recovers and demands the document back. Dodging her tackle, Tierno reads the document and realizes they contain detailed instructions for infiltrating the factory near [[Laverre City]] and stealing all the [[Poké Ball|Poké Balls]] within. He demands an explanation from the Admin, who admits that Team Flare believes that the universal access of Poké Balls has allowed unqualified civilians to capture Pokémon for themselves, turning the world ugly and distorted; their goal is to take away that power and give it to Team Flare, who they believe to be qualified.

Deciding that he must inform the others, Tierno escapes down the skate rail, prompting the Admin to have her {{p|Flygon}} use {{m|Earth Power}} to bend the rail and send Tierno flying. The ruckus catches X's attention, who rushes over to Tierno's side and Mega Evolves [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]] to do battle. The Admin recognizes the boys as being from the group of children Team Flare is pursuing and disrupts X's attack with another Earth Power, gloating that the two can't do a thing to her as long as she's airborne, and decides to steal X's Mega Ring as well. As Tierno grimaces, X shows him the Pokédex entry for his {{p|Corphish}}, suggesting that they may have a chance if Corphish can disable Flygon's wings with its pincers. While X has his Pokémon distract the Admin, Tierno skates up the broken rail and sends Corphish flying towards the Admin and her Flygon. Corphish manages to clamp onto Flygon's wing and twist it around, severely hurting Flygon and sending it crashing to the ground with the Admin. The boys quickly escape as the Admin swears revenge.

Back at the group, Tierno demonstrates a new dance move inspired by Corphish's attack, much to the approval of his friends. As they move on, Trevor muses that perhaps this journey will be about the group taking one step closer to fulfilling their dreams instead of constantly being on the run.

'''Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony''' (Japanese: '''エピローグ''' ''Epilogue'' or '''グラジュエーション・セレモニー''' ''Graduation Ceremony'') is the 548th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and the last of the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}.

==Plot==
A few days after the [[PS547|final battle]], {{adv|Whitley}} visits [[Rood]] at the [[International Police]] detention center, sharing that {{adv|Blake}} and [[Hugh]] have agreed to keep her membership in [[Team Plasma]] a secret so she can continue attending the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]]. On questioning, Rood states that {{adv|N}} will be released after serving his time, and kept on as an informant on other Plasma members at large while he returns Pokémon that Team Plasma stole to their original Trainers. Whitley asks Rood why N and [[Alder]] associated together so often, and Rood shares a revelation he'd heard from [[Gorm]]: N discovered that Alder wasn't fighting at his best during [[PS509|their]] [[PS510|battle]] and asked Alder about it, to which Alder admitted that he had started doubting his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon, and thus wondered if Team Plasma's ideology was true. Rood adds that Alder had lost one of his Pokémon to illness, and Team Plasma had leveraged the news by producing propaganda, claiming that the Pokémon's death was due to Alder's failure - despite N knowing full well from their battle that Alder truly understood the voices of Pokémon. Having taken the claims seriously, Alder became consumed with such self-doubt he decided he was no longer capable of continuing his responsibilities as the Champion. Whitley asks about [[Ghetsis]], and Rood points out that even under arrest, Ghetsis's skill at manipulation makes him a serious threat. He gently advises Whitley to not rush to conclusions in her mission to save Pokémon, and thus avoid making the same mistakes Team Plasma did.

Meanwhile, {{adv|Blake}} is surprised to learn he has been reinstated into the International Police. The chief explains it was due to his arrest of the [[Seven Sages]] and [[Colress]], ordering Blake to continue at the Trainer's School until further orders. After Blake dismisses himself, the chief discusses the state of affairs with an unseen associate, revealing that Blake's firing from the International Police was a risky test to prove his ability to choose between right and wrong, which Blake succeeded. The associate recommends that [[Looker]] be taken off a blacklist despite going against orders to assist Blake, remarking that men like Looker have their uses, and adds that negotiations with Colress to leverage his research have proved challenging given the scientist's personality. The chief orders his associate to proceed with handling a request for Colress that came from the [[Alola]] region, which the associate - revealed to be none other than the {{adv|Magician}} - accepts.

At Hugh's house, Hugh refuses to return to school despite the pleas of [[Leo]] and [[Hugh's sister|his sister]], forcing them to fling him into the beak of {{adv|Yuki}}'s {{p|Pelipper}} where he is put to sleep with a {{m|Sing}} from {{adv|Maya}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}. Waking up at school, Hugh's initial anger is ceased as Maya, Yuki and Yuko apologize to him for treating him so poorly, now understanding that his anger issues stemmed from Team Plasma and that his heroics were instrumental in halting the latest crisis. Embarrassed, Hugh agrees to start attending school again, and helped out of Pelipper's beak as Blake greets him. Leo remarks that the whole of Class E is present except Whitley, who is revealed to have been scouted by {{adv|White}} as an actress at [[PokéStar Studios]]. While she finds the experience of acting in different roles to be fun, Whitley turns down an offer from [[Stu Deeoh]] to be an actress full-time, having already decided on what she wants to do, confirming to White that it's something to do with her personal dream. White declares it's a shame as Blake has likewise turned down her offer, meaning she has to find another actress to pair up with rookie actor [[Curtis]], but adds that Blake has been reinstated as an inspector.

Some time later, the time has come for Class E to graduate from the Trainer's School. Much to the chagrin of [[Cheren]], {{adv|Black}} has decided to enrol as a student to prepare for the Pokémon League anew. In his charismatic persona, Blake tells his trio of girls that he is indeed moving from Unova, while Hugh strikes an awkward conversation with Whitley, calling her by name and to ask him for help if she needs it while on her journey with N. The realization prompts Whitley to talk to Blake as well, promising to call him by his name when their paths cross again, but Blake - in his normal persona - simply tells Whitley that she won't recognize him or his name by that point, and suggests that she call him by his name now. Briefly saddened that Blake will never return the feelings she developed for him, Whitley nonetheless calls Blake by his name and brings him to the hall, where the graduation ceremony for Class E takes place.

The days pass, with Whitley and N meeting [[Foongy]]'s original trainer, who admits that he'd only caught Foongy as it was the popular thing to do and he'd never truly bonded with Foongy, allowing Whitley to keep him. Leaving the house, N translates Foongy's voice: "Now I can officially say Whitley is mine", much to Whitley's relief and joy until she thinks over what N said. As Whitley argues if Foongy had said "Whitley is mine" instead of "I'm Whitley's", much to the amusement of [[Anthea and Concordia]], Blake watches from a distance in a Colress disguise. The Magician prompts Blake that their plane will be leaving soon and if he should say hello, but Blake simply asks to press on, and the paths of the two [[Pokédex holders]] diverge once again.

===History===
{{spoilers}}
====[[Igglybuff the Prodigy]]====
[[File:Wigglytuff and Chatot.png|thumb|left|200px|Wigglytuff and Chatot]]
Even as an {{p|Igglybuff}} of young age, Wigglytuff was considered an exploring prodigy by an {{p|Armaldo}} that he discovered and befriended. Seeing him as a mentor and friend, Igglybuff called him "master" repeatedly, even when Armaldo told him to stop. Much like his older and evolved self, he was very carefree and naïve to the point of befriending the local bullies, {{p|Skorupi}} and {{p|Banette}}.

One day, these bullies challenged him and his friends {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Wooper}}, and {{p|Budew}} in exploring Murky Forest; he was the only one who didn't back away and return home. The three explored Murky Forest until they came upon a cave that the locals believed was inhabited by a monster. As the "monster" approached, only Igglybuff stood his ground, and he even tried befriending the monster, which turned out to be an Armaldo. Armaldo at first was suspicious and somewhat annoyed with Igglybuff's antics, but later he revealed himself to be an explorer, which piqued Igglybuff's interest. Armaldo then showed him a treasure map which he was unable to decipher, explaining that he had never been able to figure it out; but when Igglybuff got a hold of the map, he ignited it on a nearby campfire, much to Armaldo's shock. However, Igglybuff revealed that he did so because he noticed that there were two layers in the map and the only way to make the map readable was by burning it. The map revealed that the treasure was located in Eastern Cave; Igglybuff was excited and was eager to join Armaldo in obtaining the treasure. Armaldo was reluctant at first, not wanting to leave his home, but eventually gave in.

The next day, Igglybuff visited Armaldo again and the two of them paired up to venture to Eastern Cave. As they reached the end of the cave, they came across a treasure chest that contained a Defend Globe, an [[exclusive item]] said to boost the {{t|Bug}} type. Igglybuff was excited at their first success and began to call Armaldo his "master."

The two then went on many adventures; on one of their adventures, however, both of them were spotted by a {{p|Nidoking}}. Back in town, Igglybuff's friends noted on his disappearances and told his parents. The bullies claimed that he'd been disappearing into Murky Forest a lot lately, much to the shock and worry of everyone around him.

Eventually, Igglybuff and Armaldo came across and explored Fortune Ravine. However, Igglybuff's friends and family, along with the aforementioned Nidoking and Officer {{p|Magnezone}}, apprehended the two. Armaldo was revealed to be a B-Rank Outlaw, and gave into the arrest; Igglybuff, however, refused to believe that Armaldo was a criminal, and almost burst into a rage if not for Armaldo calming him down. Armaldo thanked Igglybuff for the happy times and believed that he would become a great explorer. As a parting gift, Armaldo gave him the Defend Globe from their first exploration, which Igglybuff, now a Wigglytuff, carries and treasures to this day.

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]====
By the time of ''[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]'', Wigglytuff had fully evolved and developed a reputation as a promising explorer. While exploring [[Southern Jungle]], Wigglytuff collapses from hunger and is roused by [[Team Charm]], who offer him a {{DL|Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Perfect Apple}}. Grateful, Wigglytuff agrees to briefly accompany the team, helping to see past the traps and illusions laid by a {{p|Ditto}} to protect a [[Time Gear]]. Lured by the promise of more Perfect Apples, Wigglytuff proceeds to go on more explorations with Team Charm before eventually parting ways.

Eventually, Wigglytuff would settle down in [[Treasure Town]] and set up [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] with {{mdc|Chatot|2}} as his second-in-command, while exploring other locations such as [[Waterfall Cave]] and discovering their secrets. On one exploration with Chatot, the two journeyed into [[Brine Cave]] and were set upon by a {{p|Kabutops}} and two {{p|Omastar}}; Chatot shielded Wigglytuff from their attacks and passed out, prompting Wigglytuff to chase the Pokémon away and seek medical attention for Chatot. As luck would have it, a {{mdc|Lapras|2}} stood guard at the end of Brine Cave where a mysterious pattern was etched on the wall. Lapras agreed to help Wigglytuff, but also asked that he not look further into the pattern on the wall, to which Wigglytuff agreed.

During ''[[Bidoof's Wish]]'', Wigglytuff leads the guild to [[Star Cave]] upon being informed by Chatot of {{mdc|Bidoof|2}}'s actions, saving him from Team Rogue. He encourages Bidoof to seek {{p|Jirachi}} and finish his own exploration, but has to be held back by the Guild from pursuing Jirachi himself in hopes of wishing for more Perfect Apples.

Wigglytuff personally welcomes the player and the partner when they sign up to form an exploration team of their own, as well as {{mdc|Team Skull}} when they attempt to hijack the guild's expedition towards [[Fogbound Lake]]. Following Team Skull's actions causing the player to fail in their mission to retrieve Perfect Apples from [[Apple Woods]], Wigglytuff nearly loses his temper but is placated by Team Skull's own offering of a Perfect Apple. Despite Chatot's misgivings, Wigglytuff permits everyone to join the expedition, and soundly defeats Team Skull offscreen when they attempt to knock him out. Upon discovering that the secret of Fogbound Lake is a Time Gear, he promises to keep it a secret at the request of {{mdc|Uxie|2}}.

Upon the arrival of {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}} and {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}, Wigglytuff initially orders everyone to work towards apprehending the latter. After the player and partner return from the future, Wigglytuff welcomes them back to the guild and believes their explanation of what happened. He makes investigating the [[Hidden Land]] the guild's priority, eventually recognizing the pattern on the partner's [[Relic Fragment]], and realizes what must be done. On a private exploration, Wigglytuff seeks Lapras to tell him that given circumstances, he can no longer keep his promise of secrecy.

During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, Chatot is once again attacked by Kabutops and Omastar, prompting Wigglytuff to reveal himself and help evacuate Chatot while the player and partner continue onward to meet Lapras. As Lapras takes the player and partner to the Hidden Land, Wigglytuff explains his past with Lapras to the rest of the guild members.

After the credits roll, Wigglytuff appears under the guise of "the grand master of all things bad", a "foe" with his "minions" that the player must overcome in order to claim the treasure from [[Luminous Spring]] and graduate from the Guild.

===={{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}====
After the player has [[Connection Orb|connected]] with {{mdc|Bidoof|2}} and {{mdc|Loudred|2}}, they can accept a quest from Chatot's. His quest has him accompany the player's team in searching for the guildmaster, who has gotten lost again in a dungeon. Upon Wigglytuff's rescue, the pair will connect with the player and will be selectable.

===Personality and characteristics===
Wigglytuff acts very easygoing and somewhat naive, occasionally sleeping during morning briefings and referring to everyone he meets as "friends", which causes those such as {{mdc|Team Skull}} to underestimate him. He is known, however, for his explosive temper. Despite his childish behavior, Wigglytuff is an accomplished explorer and helps the team discover the mystery behind the [[Relic Fragment]] and the [[Hidden Land]]. He is also extremely powerful, proving able to withstand Team Skull's "Noxious Gas Combo", which has easily knocked out the player's team, as well as defeat Team Skull single-handedly. Wigglytuff also became serious when the Guild was asked to help capture Grovyle and also vowed to protect the secret of Fogbound Lake at the request of {{mdc|Uxie|2}}.

Wigglytuff has an obsession with {{DL|Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Perfect Apple}}s, and is known for {{m|Hyper Voice|crying out loud}} if he does not get one every day, as feared by the other Guild members, particularly Chatot. This obsession is taken further with a Perfect Apple being placed as a "treasure" for the player's graduation exam. Wigglytuff is also good friends with Chatot, having explored many places such as [[Brine Cave]] together.

==Trivia==
* If Igglybuff levels up to over Level 50 in the Special Episode [[Igglybuff the Prodigy]], Wigglytuff will still be Level 50 in the graduation exam.
* Although Wigglytuff's gender is male in Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, Chatot refers to Wigglytuff as a female during Super Mystery Dungeon.
** This gender confusion comes up again in Super Mystery Dungeon. During a mission for an Igglybuff to deliver an item to an Armaldo, Armaldo states that the Igglybuff who made the request reminds him of 'his junior'. Armaldo reminisces and refers to his junior, as a 'he' when stating that he is now a world-renowned guild master.
***The gender confusion may be a mismatch in the translation from Japanese to English as Wigglytuff has been referred to as male most of the time.
* The artwork depicts Wigglytuff's fur color closer to that of a Shiny, in contrast to in-game appearances correctly resembling the normal version (but still having the green eyes of a Shiny).

==Blurb==
While remembering his time with Hisuian Zorua, the older Alec finally arrives in the Hisui region. But the question remains: what became of their friendship?

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
Having arrived in [[Jubilife Village]], [[Alec]] is guided to his father's workshop by the local children. The two have a stern reunion as Alec's father asks why his son has returned. Alec expresses his wish to look for medicinal herbs in the Alabaster Icelands, and his father expresses his disapproval of Alec's ambition to be a doctor.

At the top of the village gates, Alec meets [[Cyllene]] as they observe a space-time distortion. Cyllene explains that they have no idea what the phenomena is, save for the fact that more distortions have been appearing. Spotting an injured {{p|Rufflet}} flying from the distortion towards the village, Alec rushes out to help, but is stunned to see the other adults refusing to step out of the village to assist. Despite the pleas of the children, the adults close the village gates behind Alec.

The scene cuts to the town hall, where Alec pleads with the elders to let him outside, declaring that there may be other injured Pokémon out there. The elders unanimously refuse, stating they have no reason to help wild Pokémon since the villagers can't even enter the local forest due to their presence. To the elders' surprise, Cyllene agrees to send out an expedition with Alec, deciding that the space-time distortion must be investigated before the village is put in danger. At his workshop, Alec's father questions his son why he cares about Pokémon. Recalling his experiences with {{p|Zorua}}, Alec admits that he wishes to learn more about them. Despite his misgivings, Alec's father gives his son a new pair of sandals for walking in the snow, indicating his decision to accompany Alec.

As the expedition leaves the village for the distortion, Alec picks up a [[Medicinal Leek]] along the way before the team enters the distortion's boundary. The group encounters a pair of agitated {{p|Abomasnow}} standing guard over a pair of injured {{p|Snover}}. Despite Cyllene's orders, Alec rushes forward and offers to help, showing the Abomasnow the leek he retrieved. After briefly convening, the Abomasnow lunge forward as if to attack, but instead of striking Alec they strike an [[Alpha Pokémon|Alpha]] {{p|Garchomp}} before it can attack the group, allowing Alec and Cyllene to pull the Snover to safety. Alec manages to bandage the Snover and declares that they have to evacuate. Cyllene notes that they don't have the equipment to bring Snover back to the village, but also refuses to leave Alec and the Snover behind. As the Abomasnow and Garchomp fight to a violent standstill, Alec's father shows up with a hand-pulled sled.

The group manages to load Snover onto the sled and pull them out of the distortion, only to be cornered by the Alpha Garchomp. Before Garchomp can attack Alec, it is stopped short by the sight of a violent purple blaze, which scares it into fleeing. {{p|Zoroark|A looming figure}} walks back into the forest, and Alec passes out from the experience. When he wakes up, he finds that the space-time distortion has cleared and everyone is still intact and healthy, including his father. Realizing what happened, Alec chases the figure back into the forest, only to find the mask he'd lost as a child on a broken tree stump. Behind him, Cyllene wonders what happened; Alec responds that they were helped by a friend of his.

Back at the village, Alec and [[Pesselle]] work to treat the Snover, Rufflet and a {{p|Munchlax}}. Alec's father admits that while he still doesn't understand Alec's need to concern himself with Pokémon, he now acknowledges that people and Pokémon may be able to coexist in peace. Seeing Alec off at the docks, Alec's father hands him a gift, asking Alec to visit more often. As the ship pulls away from the coast, Alec holds his father's gift in his hands: a new Zoroark mask in its [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] coloration. Inspired, Alec puts on the mask and lets out a howl in remembrance of his childhood friend.

==Blurb==
Did you hear the rumor? What might be the most powerful Pokémon ever has been discovered in Kanto! Green has begun her search for this elusive Pokémon...but she’s not the only one racing to catch it!

==Plot==
Arriving at [[Kanto Route 24|Nugget Bridge]], {{ga|Green}} looks over her [[Town Map]], with [[Cerulean Cave]] marked on it as the rumored location of the 150th Pokémon. Green looks at the [[Mewtwonite X]] and [[Mewtwonite Y]] in her possession before using her binoculars to scout ahead. She spots {{ga|Trace}} arriving on his {{p|Pidgeot}} and entering the cave after reading a similar report, prompting her to chase after him, but she is quickly accosted by the five Trainers guarding Nugget Bridge with their Pokémon. Unfazed, Green sends out her {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Kangaskhan}}, taking on all five opponents in a violent brawl offscreen, causing the lone Trainer on the other side to watch on in fear as he clutches the prize [[Nugget]]. In short order, Green defeats the Trainers and leaves them behind.

Upon entering the cave, Green is briefly beset by a {{p|Zubat}} swarm before catching up to Trace, both of them swearing to be the first to catch {{p|Mewtwo}} and heading deeper into the labyrinthine caverns, not realizing that Mewtwo is already watching their every move. Using her athleticism, Green avoids being cornered by a {{p|Graveler}} and uses her {{p|Blastoise}} to cross a lake, bypassing and defeating a wild pair of {{p|Poliwhirl}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}, allowing her to reach Trace again. In their rush to get ahead, Trace narrowly stops himself from plummeting down a deep crevice, sending out Pidgeot again to fly him over; Green responds by using her {{p|Victreebel}} to latch onto a stalactite and swing herself over as Trace and Pidgeot watch on in surprise. Their surprise is short-lived as another swarm of Zubat and {{p|Golbat}} attack them, prompting Green to order a {{m|Razor Leaf}} to chase the swarm away. Landing on the other side, Trace tends to his Pidgeot's injuries before thanking Green for the save, but also warning her that they're not the only ones pursuing Mewtwo.

Arriving at the center of the caves, Green spots a shadowed figure; thinking that it must be Mewtwo, she flings a [[Poké Ball]] at it only to find that the figure is actually {{ga|Elaine}}, who has already captured Mewtwo. Frustrated that her quarry has eluded her, Green challenges Elaine to a battle, sending out her {{p|Clefable}} as Elaine's {{p|Pikachu}} uses {{m|Zippy Zap}} to take Clefable out in one hit. In a jump cut, Elaine faces Green's Ninetales with her {{p|Rapidash}}, but Ninetales's flames eventually overwhelm it and it falls in defeat. Yelling at Elaine to show her what she came for, Green sends out Blastoise and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] it, and Elaine responds in kind. As Mewtwo rises into the air, Mega Blastoise barrages it with a series of {{m|Hydro Pump}} volleys, only to find that Mewtwo has used {{m|Barrier}} to shield itself. Using its fearsome {{m|Psychic}} powers, Mewtwo raises Blastoise into the air and hurls it back into a rock, causing Mega Blastoise to revert; another attack defeats Blastoise before Green can reach it. Disappointed, Green recalls Blastoise and acknowledges her loss, offering Elaine the [[Mega Stones]] for Mewtwo. To Elaine, Pikachu and Mewtwo's shock, Green teases them by asking Elaine and Mewtwo to become her Pokémon instead before leaving the scene.

At [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]], Green reports on her failure to catch Mewtwo and thus complete the [[Pokédex]], but [[Professor Oak]] assures her that she has caught many Pokémon in her quest, and forged strong bonds with her Pokémon in the process. He adds that Green wasn't taking on the initiative alone, pointing out Trace and Elaine standing at the doorway behind them. As Green realizes that her rivals were her allies all along, Oak thanks the Trainers for completing the Pokédex before receiving a call on his cell phone. Speaking to the [[Professor Willow|unseen caller]], Professor Oak learns of a brand new Pokémon {{p|Meltan|entirely made out of metal}}. Delighted, Oak announces to the Trainers that the Pokédex isn't yet complete, but the three Trainers have already left.

Outside, Elaine's Pikachu finds a couple of flowers and offers them to Green, causing her to smile before all three friends walk towards a bright horizon.

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
At [[Ecruteak City]], a festival is held to commemorate the twin towers in the city as the [[Kimono Girls]] prepare for their evening performance. Naoko, in particular, feels pressured to put on a good show as a vast audience gathers, including [[Morty]] the [[Gym Leader]] and his {{p|Gengar}}.

As the show begins, a projected image of {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appears on the curtains. The curtains pull back to play a projected animation while Zuki begins the story: centuries prior, the citizens of Ecruteak constructed two nine-tiered towers: the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], atop of which Ho-Oh and Lugia respectively roosted. Stagehands and Pokémon above in the rafters help to provide visual and sound effects as Zuki describes the communal relationship between people and Pokémon, until one fateful night 150 years ago. She releases her {{p|Umbreon}} who uses {{m|Moonlight}} to illuminate the stage.

Stepping out of the wings, [[Sayo]] recalls that a powerful lightning storm hit the city, sending out her {{p|Jolteon}} to put on an electrical display. She adds that one thunderbolt in particular hit the Brass Tower and set it on fire, as Miki is raised onto the stage via a platform with her {{p|Flareon}}, who uses {{m|Heat Wave}} to portray the inferno that ensued. Miki adds that Lugia tried to use its winds to put out the blaze and prevent it from spreading through the city, but to no avail. Kuni takes to the stage, revealing that Lugia summoned a rain storm to put out the fire instead, sending out her {{p|Vaporeon}} to use its {{m|Water Gun}} to clash with Flareon's {{m|Flamethrower}}. As effect smoke fills the stage, Miki collapses to portray the extinguishing.

As the sun rises on the city, Naoko takes her role with {{p|Espeon}}, stating that Lugia flew away from the tower, distraught by the destruction wrought by the fire. It now sleeps beneath the ocean waves, waiting for someone pure of heart so it might return one day, and thus the city maintains the Burned Tower in its dilapidated state as a token of remembrance. The sisters bow at the conclusion of their performance, receiving a standing ovation that reassures Naoko of her role.

Beneath the waters surrounding the [[Whirl Islands]], Lugia moves as if in response to the Kimono Sisters's story.

==Blurb==
Her whole life, Zinnia was told to put her people’s wishes before her own and to uphold her duty to Hoenn. But when the Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza arrives, will she have what it takes?

==Plot==
As the sun begins to set over the [[Sky Pillar]], [[Zinnia]] arrives on foot while {{ga|May}} follows shortly after on {{p|Latios}}, proceeding to chase Zinnia up the tower. May finds that the ancient monument is worn and unstable, struggling to catch her breath after the floor collapses behind her as she climbs it. Laughing, Zinnia congratulates May on following her thus far and begins to tell the story of the [[Draconid people]]: one millennium prior, a large meteorite struck the [[Hoenn]] region, releasing immense power that caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} to fight each other in order to claim said power for themselves. As Zinnia regales the legend, the painted murals around her seem to come to life, showing Kyogre and Groudon attacking each other with {{m|Origin Pulse}} and {{m|Precipice Blades}}.

The intensity of the illusions briefly causes May to flinch before she continues scaling the tower after Zinnia, who explains that her people came together to express their fervent wish: that {{p|Rayquaza}} would arrive, clad in emerald light, to save them from the crisis. The strength of their wish was so powerful that not only was Rayquaza summoned, its appearance was changed through [[Mega Evolution]] and it successfully banished Kyogre and Groudon back to the depths of sea and land. Zinnia concludes that the Draconids then built the Sky Pillar to house the "rainbow stone" that granted Rayquaza its power. Looking at the [[Key Stone]] in her hand, Zinnia proceeds to reach the tower's summit; May, recovering from a fall she had experiencing the illusions, retrieves the [[Meteorite]] in her possession.

At the top, Zinnia recalls that the Draconids foretold that a larger [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteorite]] would one day fall upon the Hoenn region, threatening to shatter the region. She expresses hopes that the Key Stones she's stolen will allow her to summon Rayquaza and save the region. Reaching Zinnia, May makes a last attempt to snatch the stolen stones from Zinnia, but Zinnia easily evades her. Remarking that her story has concluded, Zinnia reveals to May that summoning Rayquaza to save Hoenn has always been her duty, and asks May to take care of her {{p|Whismur}}, Aster, should anything befall her. As May nods in agreement, Zinnia raises the Key Stones in her hand and calls upon Rayquaza, who descends upon Dragonhark Altar but is unable to achieve Mega Evolution. Stunned by her failure, Zinnia realizes that Rayquaza doesn't have enough power and is at a loss after seeing that the Key Stones have no effect, just as May's Meteorite starts to glow. Zinnia recognizes the Meteorite's energy resembles that of a [[Mega Stone]] as May hurls it into the air, prompting Rayquaza to lunge and swallow it, taking it into itself.

Zinnia realizes that Rayquaza has chosen May over herself to be the region's savior, asking that May capture it as she gives May a {{i|Poké Ball}}. Heading into battle, May sends out her {{p|Aggron}}, who releases a {{m|Stone Edge}} that Rayquaza easily dodges, forcing May to switch to her {{p|Altaria}}. Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Rush}} cleaves through Altaria's {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, sending the latter plummeting through the air and prompting May to recall it as well. May follows up with her Mega {{p|Swampert}}, who meets Rayquaza with a powerful {{m|Ice Punch}} that freezes Rayquaza over briefly. The sight causes Zinnia to flash back to her childhood, listening to [[Aster]] telling her stories and preparing for her destiny of catching Rayquaza. Realizing that her destiny has slipped by her, Zinnia sheds tears as she yells to May to catch Rayquaza, which May proceeds to do with an [[Ultra Ball]].

Thanking May, Zinnia makes one final request as the last {{tc|Lorekeeper}} of the Draconids. From [[Pacifidlog Town]], a pair of {{p|Pikachu}} watch on as Zinnia's Mega {{p|Salamence}} clashes with Mega Rayquaza in battle.

==Plot==

Arriving at the {{gdis|Battle Tower|IV}}, {{ga|Barry}} is guided to the top floor to challenge [[Palmer]]. Under the weight of facing his father, Barry struggles with self-doubt as he and Palmer send out their first Pokémon, and he starts to flashback to pivotal moments in his journey.

''At [[Lake Verity]], Barry and {{ga|Lucas}} are attacked by a pair of wild {{p|Starly}} when they bump into a discarded briefcase. The briefcase falls open, revealing a trio of {{i|Poké Ball}}s. The two friends grab a {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}} from the selection and send them into the fray, successfully chasing away the Starly. Barry resolves to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]] strong enough to challenge his father.''

Palmer's {{p|Milotic}} releases a powerful {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, sending Barry's {{p|Heracross}} crashing into the wall behind him. As Barry tenses up from the sheer display of strength, Palmer simply smirks from the shadows.

''Barry's journey takes him to the [[Oreburgh Gym]], where his Piplup withstands an attack from [[Roark's Cranidos]] and defeats it with {{m|Bubble}}. [[Roark]] acknowledges his loss, much to Barry and Piplup's delight. As Barry inserts the {{badge|Coal}} into his [[Badge]] case, he wonders if Roark might be strong enough to challenge Palmer before he realizes his thoughts have been drifting, and he heads to the next destination with Piplup.''

Continuing the battle, Barry's {{p|Staraptor}} scores a direct hit on Palmer's {{p|Dragonite}} with a crushing {{m|Aerial Ace}}, prompting Barry to cheer. The intensity of the battle causes Barry's Badge case to slip out from his pocket and fall open, showing his full collection of Badges from the [[Sinnoh]] region.

''Barry confronts [[Jupiter]] and her {{p|Skuntank}} at [[Lake Verity]], declaring that he's going to be the [[Pokémon Champion]] and asking Jupiter to bring it on. Jupiter has Skuntank deploy a {{m|Smokescreen}}, causing {{p|Prinplup}} to miss with its {{m|Bubble Beam}} before defeating it with {{m|Night Slash}}. Mocking Barry for his sentiments and belief that he could ever challenge [[Team Galactic]], Jupiter brings the captured {{p|Uxie}} away as Barry stews in his defeat. For the first time in his journey, Barry wonders if he might never become strong enough to face his father.''

Back in the present, Palmer's {{p|Rhyperior}} launches its {{m|Rock Wrecker}} and takes Staraptor out of the fight.

''At the [[Spear Pillar]], Lucas confronts {{p|Dialga}}, [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]] and Jupiter, the latter two having sent out their {{p|Purugly}} and Skuntank respectively. Barry arrives on the scene, and Jupiter mocks him again after recognizing him. The two friends send out their {{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Empoleon}}, with Infernape easily sending Mars' Purugly flying, while Empoleon successfully withstands Skuntank's {{m|Flamethrower}} and Night Slash before knocking it back. Defeated, an amused Jupiter acknowledges that Barry has gotten stronger since their last encounter.''

In the present, Barry's Empoleon manages to dodge a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Rhyperior before retaliating with {{m|Hydro Pump}}, defeating it and winning the match for Barry. Laughing, Palmer congratulates Barry for the great battle, and muses that now Barry has defeated his own father, who will Barry beat next...?

==Blurb==
A sinister plot that manipulates both people and Pokémon has been realized!

==Plot==
In a series of flashbacks, [[Ghetsis]] details his plan involving [[N]], no longer willing to remain silent. Having found N as a "warped boy" living in the forest alongside Pokémon, he welcomed N into [[Team Plasma]] and raised him, giving N the training he needed to become Team Plasma's king. When he became old enough, N was formally crowned in a ceremony witnessed by the [[Seven Sages]], [[Anthea and Concordia]]. With N's ascension complete, Ghetsis moved to the next phase of their plan, starting by giving a speech at [[Accumula Town]] where he spoke of the need for Pokémon liberation, witnessed by {{ga|Hilda}} and [[Cheren]] as N observed the pair from a distance.

Eventually, Ghetsis put N to the test by having him unleash {{p|Zekrom}} from the [[Dark Stone]] at [[Dragonspiral Tower]]; his success marked him as worthy of sharing the Harmonia name. Team Plasma proceeded to deploy [[N's Castle]] at the {{un|Pokémon League}} as a sign of change to come. In the Champion's room, [[Alder]] faced off N and Zekrom with his {{p|Volcarona}}, denouncing Team Plasma's philosophy of Pokémon liberation as Ghetsis' lie. The accusation caused N to grip his necklace so hard it snapped, but Volcarona was ultimately overwhelmed by Zekrom. Defeated, Alder begged N not to go ahead with his plan to separate people and Pokémon. Back in N's room, Anthea and Concordia gently suggested that N follow his heart until Ghetsis arrived, simply telling N it was time.

In the present, Ghetsis is revealed to have been telling Hilda the true nature of his plan: to have Team Plasma spread the liberation of Pokémon throughout the region, so Team Plasma will become the undisputed rulers of [[Unova]]. At this, Hilda brings out the [[Light Stone]] in her possession, which Ghetsis identifies and invites her to try and prove herself a hero by stopping N. Advancing to the throne room, Hilda sees N atop his throne; acknowledging her presence, he calls out for Zekrom as it crashes through the wall, landing on the floor with a powerful shockwave that causes Hilda to flinch. As Hilda prepares to face N, Ghetsis remarks in a voiceover that he won't allow anyone to stop him or his plan to rule the world for himself.

==Major events==
* [[Ghetsis]] reveals his plan to {{ga|Hilda}}.
* In a flashback:
** Ghetsis adopts [[N]] and makes him the king of [[Team Plasma]].
** N awakens and befriends {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}.

'''Bo''' (Japanese: '''ブオウ''' ''Buoh'') is an {{p|Emboar}} that {{adv|Black}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and his third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} overall. He was given to Black from [[Professor Juniper]]. Originally, as a Tepig, his nickname was '''Tep''' (Japanese: '''ポカ''' ''Poka'') and as a Pignite, his nickname was '''Nite''' (Japanese: '''チャオ''' ''Chao''). As of ''[[PS521|The Power of Dreams]]'', he is level 51 and his [[Characteristic]] is "a little quick tempered."

==History==
==={{chap|Black & White}}===
[[File:Tep.png|thumb|left|130px|As a Tepig]]
Bo first appeared as a {{p|Tepig}} in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]''. It was one of the Pokémon owned by [[Professor Juniper]] along with the other [[Unova]] starters, {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}} and {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}. While he sloppily ate some {{Berries}} he roasted with his flames, Tepig got into a fight with {{p|Snivy}} after getting juice on his tail. The two fought each other until they were broken up by {{p|Oshawott}} who had gotten angry and easily knocked them away.

In ''[[PS462|Choices]]'', they are delivered to an impatient {{adv|Black}} so they can be the Pokémon of the new upcoming {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. After being sent out of his {{i|Poké Ball}}, Tepig and Snivy get into a fight once more and are again stopped by an enraged Oshawott. Tepig runs off and Black follows him, leaving Snivy to suffer the wrath of Oshawott. Eventually Black finds Tepig stuck on a tree and rescues him from a wild {{p|Sewaddle}} and takes him as his own Pokémon. [[PS463|After]] this Black goes to a library to look up the [[evolution|evolved]] form of Tepig so he can decide an appropriate nickname for him. Tepig assumes that Black meant that he was not happy with his present form and runs away. Black follows him and after finding out the reason why he ran away, decides to give him the nickname "Tep" instead of a name based on his final form.

In ''[[PS464|Black's First Trainer Battle]]'', Tep, along with [[Brav]] and [[Musha]], were used against {{tc|Hiker}} Andy, where they managed to defeat his three Pokémon in a [[Triple Battle]].

In ''[[PS465|Lights, Camera...Action!]]'', Tep is introduced to the Tepig of {{adv|White}}, [[Gigi]], and becomes friends with her. White, needing a male Tepig to go with her female Tepig in her media shootings, decides to employ Black and Tep after the former runs up a huge bill that he now needs to pay off. Tep and Gigi are then paired up in several shootings, such as movies or commercials. Tep is [[PS467|later]] used against {{adv|N}} in [[Accumula Town]] where he is almost defeated by the young man's powerful Pokémon. With words of encouragement from Black, Tep manages to get back up and defeats his {{p|Tympole}}, allowing N to decide that the battle is over and leave.

In ''[[PS469|Welcome To Striaton City!!]]'', Tep, alongside {{adv|Cheren}}'s Snivy and {{adv|Bianca}}'s Oshawott, are used in the [[Striaton Gym]] against the [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]. Due to the nature of the Triple Battle, the three are put at a disadvantage, and Snivy is eventually brought close to defeat. When [[Chili's Pansear]] attacks Oshawott he becomes enraged and defeats it, but is quickly knocked down by [[Cilan's Pansage]]. With the time limit almost up the three starters eat the leaves that Pansage dropped, rejuvenating them. With it now being three to two after the time limit runs out Black, Cheren, and Bianca win.

In ''[[PS476|A Direct Attack and a Daunting Defense]]'', Tep was used in a [[Double Battle]] alongside [[Tula]] against a {{tc|Janitor}} named Geoff and his {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Cinccino}}. Trubbish begun the battle by attacking Tep with {{m|Acid Spray}}. When Black checked on how Tula was doing, he noticed that Cinccino was using its fur to make Tula's electricity slide by. Geoff then had his two Pokémon attack Tep and Tula, sending them flying. Despite thinking that he had won the battle, Tep got back up enraged and slammed into Trubbish with a fiery attack, having used some bottles to block his nostrils to prevent Trubbish's stench from reaching his nose. Tula then swung down from the bridge and used {{m|Slash}} on Cinccino, knocking it out and finishing the battle.

In ''[[PS477|Lost in the Big City]]'', Tep and Black encounter a lost boy crying in one of its buildings. When Black leaves to find help to find out why the boy is crying, Tep is left to watch over him. The boy quickly reveals himself to be a {{TP|N|Zorua}} in disguise and causes havoc for Tep all throughout the building. Eventually, Tep manages to attack the Pokémon, but {{p|Zorua}} escapes and one of his attacks hits Black instead.

In ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]'', Tep begins his evolution process into his next stage. This causes White to freak out at the thought of losing her two Tepig duo between Tep and Gigi, causing her to grab Tep and shake him violently to get him to stop evolving. In his [[Gym]] battle against [[Burgh]], Black considers using Tep but decides against it when he remembers White's refusal against it. However, when Brav and Tula are defeated during the 3-on-3 Gym battle, Black was forced to use Tep as his last resort against Burgh's final Pokémon {{p|Dwebble}}. After nearly getting defeated by Dwebble's {{m|Smack Down}}, Tep was able to evolve into {{p|Pignite}} and quickly beat it by redirecting Dwebble's attack back at it. Afterwards, Black gave it a new nickname "Nite" to account for its recent evolution.
[[File:Nite.png|thumb|200px|As a Pignite]]
In ''[[PS484|Battle on a Roller Coaster]]'', Nite is used in Black's Gym battle against [[Elesa]], and goes up against her {{p|Zebstrika}}. Due to Elesa's strategy of using {{m|Volt Switch}} to repeatedly switch out her team and attack, Nite struggles with hitting his opponents. Eventually, he manages to defeat Zebstrika as well as Elesa's {{p|Emolga}}, making Black the victor.

In ''[[PS491|Fight in a Cold Climate]]'', Cheren was attacked by two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s and had Snivy taken from him. Black and Nite go with him to help reclaim Snivy. When Black and Nite become trapped in an ice wall, Nite manages to melt only the wall by igniting some berries and spreading them around. After Snivy was rescued the two defeated the Grunt's Pokémon with a {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Grass Pledge}} combination.

In ''[[PS493|Underground Showdown]]'', Nite fights against [[Clay's Excadrill]]. After having trouble with {{p|Excadrill}}'s hole-digging tactics, Nite counters by making his own holes in the ground, allowing him to find his elusive opponent. After a short time, the two Pokémon knock each other out.

In ''[[PS494|Up in the Air]]'', Nite is used in Black's Gym battle against [[Skyla]], where he faces against her {{p|Swoobat}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Nite comes out on top by crushing his opponent with a {{m|Heat Crash}}. Next, he faces Skyla's {{TP|Skyla|Swanna}}, but is quickly defeated due to its {{t|Water}} attacks.

When the [[Shadow Triad]] attempt to steal the [[Dark Stone]] from the Nacrene City Museum in ''[[PS496|Museum Showdown]]'', Nite is used to attack the Team Plasma Grunts inside to protect the stone. Later, when the Shadow Triad use the {{adv|Forces of Nature}} to attack the Gym Leaders and Black, Nite attempts to protect his Trainer, but is easily stopped. He soon evolves into an {{p|Emboar}} and breaks free, but is still not strong enough to defeat the [[Legendary Pokémon]].
[[File:Black and Bo.png|thumb|left|200px|Bo and Black]]
[[PS498|After]] the defeat, Black is taken to the [[Tubeline Bridge]] for training under [[Brycen]]. Black is tasked with training Nite in fighting against Brycen's {{p|Cryogonal}}. Initially, they have trouble due to Nite's stubbornness, but they manage to defeat Cryogonal and break the ice chain it had around Black's ankle. During the training, Black gave him the nickname "Bo" now that he reached his final form. [[PS504|During]] Black's Gym battle against Brycen, Bo was used against Brycen's Cryogonal. Using the training it had before, Bo easily defeated Cryogonal, only to fall to Brycen's {{p|Vanillish}} next.

[[PS510|After]] Musha left Black's team and Black fell unconscious for several days, he awoke to find the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament had already started. Feeling dejected that he did not obtain all eight Badges, Black decides to go back home to [[Nuvema Town]]. When he sees how sad his team is that they will not be able to join the League, Black decides to change his mind and challenge [[Drayden]] to a last-minute Gym battle for his final [[Badge]]. In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Bo is used to battle against Cheren in the finals. He fights against Cheren's {{p|Gigalith}}, but is nearly defeated due to a type-disadvantage. Eventually Bo is switched for Brav, who defeats Cheren's {{p|Unfezant}} and wins the battle for Black.

During [[Team Plasma]]'s attack on the League in ''[[PS521|Triple Threat]]'', Bo, Musha, Tula, and [[Costa]] are sent out to help Black's allies fight against the Team Plasma Grunts causing havoc below. Once they finish, Bo and the rest of Black's team return to their Trainer after he defeated N. The reunion is cut short when [[Ghetsis]] attacks Black in order to prevent the public from learning about N's defeat. With a team specifically designed to counter Black's, Ghetsis has the immediate advantage. With Musha's help, Black defeats Ghetsis by defeating his secret weapon, a {{p|Volcarona}}, and then unleashes a powerful attacks on Ghetsis's team, with Bo delivering the final hit against his {{p|Eelektross}}.

==={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}===
In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Black had Bo memorize the scent of {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}'s {{m|Blue Flare}} so it could track the location of Black Kyurem, which had been previously hit by the same move. He was [[PS547|later]] used to try to keep Kyurem from destroying the [[Plasma Frigate]].

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Bo, alongside the other eight Unova starters, fired their {{m|Fire Pledge|Pledge}} moves at [[N's Castle]] to stop the fire caused by the Plasma Frigate.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Tep and Gigi.png|thumb|200px|Tep and Gigi]]
Bo shares a love of [[Pokémon battle]]s and food with {{adv|Black}}, as seen in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]''. Bo has a big heart and wants to be appreciated for who he is now, as opposed to what he can become—as seen in ''[[PS463|A Nickname for Tepig]]'' where he was determined to show {{adv|Black}} that he was great the way he was, thus his nickname reflecting his current stage as opposed to the [[evolution|evolved]] stage like the rest of Black's party. Bo is a bit of a romantic, almost instantly sparking a relationship with [[Gigi]]. He is also very clever as he used {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}'s leaves to heal himself, {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, and {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}, winning the battle at the [[Striaton Gym]]. When in stressful situations, Bo has a tendency to become very angry and attack without thinking of a strategy.

Through his evolutionary stages, Bo demonstrated a heightened sense of smell, allowing him to track people and Pokémon based on scents that can't usually be detected, ranging from pollen to the unique smell of {{m|Blue Flare}}. However, Bo's sensitive nose also made him susceptible to colds as a Tepig, and made it difficult for him to battle a {{p|Trubbish}} due to its {{a|Stench}}.

==Filmography==
Bo, as an actor, has starred in several films and television series. Black mentioned one in ''[[PS470|Their First Gym Battle]]''.

====Films and Television titles====
* '''Days of our Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''マチ子の町''' ''Machiko's Town'')

==Trivia==
* Bo is the only one of Black's Pokémon to be given a name based on his base form rather than his final form. However, his nickname was changed once he evolved into a {{p|Pignite}} and later into an {{p|Emboar}}.
* If {{DL|Crystal (Adventures)|Natee}}'s name change currently only present in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translation isn't counted, then Bo's evolution marks the first and currently only time where a Pokémon belonging to a [[Pokédex holder]] has its name changed.
* The series Bo acted in, Days of our Pokémon, is likely based on the soap opera "{{wp|Days of our Lives}}".

'''Deduction Time''' (Japanese: '''VSギギアル''' ''VS {{tt|Gigiaru|Klang}}'' or '''リーズニング・タイム''' ''Reasoning Time'') is the 545th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
As [[Foongy]] wakes her up, {{adv|Whitley}} is terrified at the sight of [[Musha]] on top of {{adv|Black}}'s head, having a freakout before {{adv|White}} calms her down. {{adv|Blake}} explains that Black uses Musha to organize the information in his head, pointing out that as part of the [[International Police]]'s investigations, they gathered extensive information on Black. White hurriedly turns Blake down for an explanation on the data the Police have on her, and Whitley expresses relief that Blake is fine. Blake assures Whitley that Black and White share the same goal of liberating {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} from [[Team Plasma]] as Black reaches his epiphany. Ordering a {{m|Blue Flare}} from {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, Black sends out [[Bo]] to smell the scent of Blue Flare and track it; Bo confirms that the scent traveled northwest. Black explains that from his visions, he saw the [[Plasma Frigate]] facing northwest when it deployed its smokescreen, and Kyurem had been previously burned by Reshiram's Blue Flare, which explains why the scent of the flare traveled in the same way. He adds that he had a vision of a forest in a chasm from Kyurem's mind when Musha ate his dreams, which had never happened before. Blake confirms that the location Black saw is the [[Giant Chasm]], located near [[Lacunosa Town]] which is northwest from where they are. The group decides to head there as White registers everyone on their [[Xtransceiver|Xtransceivers]] to keep in contact, and sends out her {{p|Alomomola}} to heal everyone with {{m|Heal Pulse}}.

Black asks everyone to get on top of Reshiram, including a startled Whitley; she is helped on board by {{adv|Swords of Justice|Cobalion}}, amusing Black by the fact that it's taken to her so easily. The group discusses where N has gone, and Blake suggests that N must have been captured by Team Plasma to stop his interference, prompting Whitley's determination to pursue them. As the group flies off on Reshiram while followed by the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} below, Whitley is afraid of what might have happened to N, causing White to ask her if she's scared. White gently advises Whitley to focus on her personal dream, which Whitley explains is to have a world where Pokémon can live without fear or harm, and where humans may be permitted if they see fit. White shares that she had been living in fear for the past two years, but after taking her time and doing what she could, she eventually saw her dream come true: being able to have Black by her side again, and suggests that Whitley live to the best of her ability without the fear of not producing results. White assures Whitley that having seen how she cares for Pokémon, she believes Whitley can achieve her dream, and Whitley thanks everyone on board for their support.

At the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] construction site, [[Leo]] and [[Hugh's sister]] emerge from the [[Relic Passage]], only to be met by [[Elesa]]. Meanwhile at [[Aspertia City]], [[Hugh]] continues defending himself against the grunts from black Team Plasma to buy time for [[Rood]]; eventually Rood's {{p|Chandelure}} manages to fend the grunts off with a powerful {{m|Inferno}}. Rood mentions that the machine to neutralize [[Colress]]'s device is kept at the white Team Plasma hideout in [[Driftveil City]] and they will need to head there next.

Leo recognizes Elesa as she asks [[Skyla]] to come down on her airplane, and the [[Gym Leader]] confirms that she was asked by {{adv|Cheren}} to find him after [[Marlon]] and the others evacuated his classmates from the [[Marine Tube]]. Hugh's sister explains that Leo had taken her to eat Casteliacones when she heard Hugh's voice from the [[Castelia City Sewers]], surprising her from how angry [[PS536|he sounded]]. Just as Leo took her to investigate, the attack from the Plasma Frigate froze over the entire city and they had escaped it just in time. Elesa is surprised that the two made it out safely through the Pokémon-infested underground system, and Leo admits that his {{p|Deino}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Zweilous}} from the battles he had to fight. Leo's surprise at Team Plasma's involvement is interrupted as [[Looker]] arrives on the scene, fleeing from Skyla's plane as she nearly runs him over, much to her confusion. Looker admits that he had been trying to reach Blake's Pokémon, having seeing them knocked out, although he tries to deny previously knowing Leo as the two recognize each other from the [[Pokémon League]]. Skyla wonders which of the individuals present are Blake, Leo and Hugh as Leo explains the situation, but Hugh's sister is horrified at the realization that her brother has gone missing. At that moment, Leo receives a call from Hugh, who confirms that he's safe but can't get to them yet, promising his sister to return after he's collaborated with the white Team Plasma members to rescue her {{p|Purrloin}}.

Above Lacunosa Town, the Plasma Frigate pursues Black Kyurem, who has headed there despite the attempts of [[Colress]] and [[Ghetsis]] to control it. Colress takes offense from Ghetsis' suggestion that his device has failed to control Kyurem, and terminates the call between them. Colress wonders if the unconscious Zinzolin or N might have exerted some influence over Kyurem, admitting that he'd always been fascinated by N's ability to hear the voices of Pokémon. He spots Reshiram and the Swords of Justice in pursuit, and Ghetsis confirms that he's sent the [[Shadow Triad]] to intercept them. On the ground, the three members of the Triad release the {{adv|Forces of Nature}} in their Therian formes to battle the Swords of Justice, and [[Kelden]]'s mentors prepare to do battle as revenge for being frozen.

In the frozen [[White Forest]], a group of Pokémon break out of the [[White Treehollow]]. [[Iris]] emerges in her Champion's outfit, remarking that she didn't expect to be frozen in while training and wouldn't have escaped if she was only trapped with "Grandpa", while adding that the cloak that "Grandpa" gave her has been muddied. Another voice asks her to be clear who she's referring to; Iris corrects herself, pointing out that she'd only broken out with help from "Grandpa [[Gorm]]", and the cloak that "Grandpa [[Drayden]]" gave her was soiled. The voice takes offense over the fact that Iris hasn't said anything good about him yet, revealing himself to be [[Alder]]. Iris teases Alder, saying that her opinion will depend on his actions, and Alder affirms his desire to settle his score from two years ago.

'''Blake''' (Japanese: '''ラクツ ''' ''Lack-Two'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is a high-ranking member of the [[International Police]]. His rank is Inspector (Japanese: '''警視''' ''Superintendent'') and his codename is '''Black No. 2''' (Japanese: '''黒の２号''' ''Black 2'').

==Character==
Despite his young age, Blake is a member of the International Police with an S rank in the organization. He is tasked with searching for any remaining members of the villainous group, Team Plasma. Having memorized the contents of various communications manuals on how to speak with people and Pokémon, Blake is able to put up a persona that he believes fits his investigative goals; when undercover and looking for the suspected [[Team Plasma Grunt]] {{adv|Whitley}}, he acted like a womanizer by constantly flirting with the girls around him. Typically when on the job, he takes on a more serious and professional persona, and tends to speak openly and bluntly, which {{adv|White}} and {{adv|Black}} considered annoying. For his skills, he is given the title of '''"Arrester"''' ({{tt|逮捕る者|とらえるもの}} ''Arrester''); his superior also calls him Mr. Perfect due to his ability to charm information out of others.

Like Looker, Blake also uses the International Police Arms, but is more successful in using them. The jumpsuit he wears underneath his regular clothing doubles as a set of armor that can protect him from attacks.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prior to {{chap|Black & White}}===
Blake lost his parents as an infant, and was found by the International Police at a crime scene along with the [[DNA Splicers]]. Despite being found to have high intellect and physical skill, Black lacked emotions and a sense of telling right from wrong. To remedy this, Blake memorized various manuals that told him how to interact with other humans and Pokémon while the International Police trained him in methods of investigation and law enforcement. Blake was also taught by the Chief Commissioner of the International Police, who at the time was the investigator tasked with raising him, that his duty was to pursue and arrest dangerous individuals even if it meant having to ignore and violate the rights of normal civilians. This pedagogy formed the closest thing Blake had to a moral code and way of living.

==={{chap|Black & White}}===
Blake first appeared in a cameo in ''[[PS510|A Wretched Reunion]]'', where he saw {{adv|Looker}} going on a mission to investigate the {{un|Pokémon League}}. When he asked if he should go as well, Blake's superior said Looker was more than enough for the job, despite his clumsy nature.

==={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}===
Blake properly debuted in ''[[PS525|The Transfer Student]]'', where he broke up with [[Yancy]] before heading off to class at the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] with [[Leo]]. Their attempt to sneak into class was stopped by [[Hugh]], who angrily told Blake to focus more on improving himself as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} instead of flirting with girls. Their argument alerted the new teacher, {{adv|Cheren}}, who forced the three to sit outside as punishment. While they waited, Blake, Hugh, and Leo spotted the new transfer student, {{adv|Whitley}}, arriving at class. Hearing the conversation Blake and others were having about Whitley, Cheren decided to skip the lecture and instead had the students battle each other. Separated into two separate groups by gender, Blake and Whitley competed against their classmates and won, earning themselves a [[Pokédex]] from {{adv|Bianca}}. Later, Blake was seen in his room crossing off Yancy, {{adv|Yuki}}, {{adv|Maya}}, and {{adv|Yuko}} as potential [[Team Plasma]] members. He was approached by Looker, another member of the International Police who had been looking for him. After defeating a {{p|Scolipede}} that was sent to attack Looker, Blake revealed that he was Looker's superior on their mission.

[[File:Blake Defense Suit.png|thumb|left|200px|Blake's defense suit]]
In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Blake and Looker traveled to Aspertia City's alleyways, where Blake met with his maintenance man, the {{adv|Magician}}. Blake had the Magician create a custom [[Poké Ball]] cover to make using them easier. After hearing a loud explosion outside, Blake and Looker found the culprit was a {{TP|Blake|Genesect}}. Blake battled with Genesect and eventually discovered it was under the control of [[Colress]], a scientist on the run for conducting unauthorized experiments on Pokémon. Praising Blake's analytical skills, Colress had Genesect fire directly at the boy with its {{m|Techno Blast}}. With his Defense Suit and Dewott's assistance, Blake managed to survive. Noticing that Colress used the [[Colress Machine]] to control Genesect, Blake deduced that Genesect is a wild Pokémon and thus was able to be caught.

With the custom Poké Balls, Blake and Dewott attacked Genesect simultaneously, slowly whittling it down by forcing it to defend from two different attacks at once. When Colress discovered one of thrown Poké Balls was a [[Luxury Ball]], he assumed Blake to be a kindred spirit who agreed with his desire to artificially bring out a Pokémon's strength. Blake denied this and called the Colress Machine a failure, angering the scientist. Colress switched out Genesect's Neutral [[Drive]] for the Shock Drive, turning its Techno Blast into an {{type|Electric}} move. Dewott and Genesect clashed with each other, causing a large explosion, but when the smoke cleared, Genesect had been caught. Defeated, Colress revealed how Genesect works and that [[Ghetsis]] made him the new leader of Team Plasma before making his escape. Afterward, Blake revealed to Looker that his womanizing antics are merely a ploy to find a former female {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} that was tasked with protecting a memory card containing data on a machine that can counteract the Colress Machine. With their mission over, Blake and Looker headed back to the Trainers' School to write a report to headquarters about the incident.

In ''[[PS529|Pokédex Lecture]]'', Blake decided to use the Pokédex as a way of getting closer to Whitley. He dragged her to the [[Pledge Grove]] under the guise of a trip to fill the Pokédex with data. When Blake got too close, Whitley's [[Foongy]] retaliated with a {{m|Sweet Scent}}, accidentally summoning a {{p|Keldeo}} in the process. Keldeo immediately attacked, causing Blake and Whitley to fall off a nearby cliff. After saving himself, Blake carried the unconscious Whitley back to school.

In ''[[PS530|Movie Panic]]'', Cheren took his class to a school trip at [[Pokéstar Studios]]. There, Whitley acted in a [[Brycen-Man Series|Brycen-Man]] movie where she faced the titular villain while playing the role of the superheroine {{p|Foongus}} Girl. She easily defeated Brycen-Man's Pokémon, but a Mecha {{p|Tyranitar}} from another movie set appeared and began running wild. Blake, as the {{p|Dewott}} Kid, stepped in to save the day, much to Whitley's embarrassment. After leaving, Blake continued to frustrate Whitley with his advances on the bus ride home.

In ''[[PS532|Legendary Tornadus]]'', Blake took Whitley to {{rt|20|Unova}}, where [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]] had been spotted. Looker kept watch in secret to see if Whitley and Giallo would recognize each other and confirm their suspicions about her. Shortly after arriving, Blake and Whitley were attacked by {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Tornadus}}, who immediately turned into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Forme}}. Using Dewott and his new team member, [[Kelden]], Blake battled against Tornadus, only to discover its true target was Giallo. Together, Dewott and Kelden managed to freeze Tornadus, forcing the Plasma Grunts controlling it to recall it and retreat. Giallo was arrested, but the plan failed as Foongy caused Whitley to fall asleep with its spores as well as Giallo not recognizing the girl. Afterward, Blake took Whitley to the [[Virbank Gym]], where they watched a live performance by [[Roxie]] and her band.

[[File:Blake Dewott Kid.png|thumb|220px|right|Blake as Dewott Kid]]
In ''[[PS534|Choir Tournament]]'', Blake took part in the [[Autumn Choir Tournament]] as a member of Team {{p|Jigglypuff}}. After facing off against a variety of other teams in the tournament, Team Jigglypuff emerged as the winner. Roxie, who Blake had invited to judge the competition, had [[Pop Roxie|her father]] take the winning team and their class to [[Castelia City]] to compete in the Unova Choir Tournament. As they traveled on Pop Roxie's boat, Blake contacted Looker over the [[Xtransceiver]] and informed him that their true goal was to arrest [[Bronius]] and [[Ryoku]], who had been spotted around the [[Castelia Sewers]].

In ''[[PS535|Angry Boy]]'', the class arrived at Castelia City, only for Roxie to encounter an injured member of the executive committee for the Unova Choir Tournament. When the man revealed that his {{p|Karrablast}} was stolen by Team Plasma, Blake, Whitley, Hugh, and Roxie headed to the sewers to find the villains. After finding the culprits, a group of Plasma Grunts, the group was swarmed by a large number of {{p|Muk}}, forcing them to scatter. While the others battled the Grunts, Blake arrested Bronius and Ryoku. Noticing a strange chill in the airr coming from the [[Relic Passage]], Blake told Looker to handle Bronius and Ryoku while he headed down the tunnel to investigate.

In ''[[PS537|Colress Machine]]'', Blake followed the cold air to its source at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] construction site. After sending out his new team members, {{p|Kabutops|Kabutott}} and {{p|Gliscor|Glisott}}, Blake found [[Zinzolin]] at the [[Cold Storage]] defeated by {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}} and {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Landorus}}. Colress revealed he was controlling the two Pokémon and used the [[Reveal Glass]] to turn them into their Therian Formes. Colress took the unconscious Zinzolin away and sent Tornadus out to battle, forcing Blake to leave Dewott, Kabutott, and Glisott behind to fight them while he and Kelden went ahead. Colress took control of Zinzolin's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}, but was interrupted by Ghetsis, who had arrived on the [[Plasma Frigate]]. Ghetsis had Colress load Kyurem onto a special room on the Frigate. Blake attempted to arrest Ghetsis, but was stopped by the [[Shadow Triad]], whose presence caused Kelden to go berserk. Ghetsis and Colress activated the Frigate's engines, allowing the boat to take to the skies.

In ''[[PS539|Frozen World]]'', Blake managed to sneak aboard the Plasma Frigate, which traveled to Castelia City and used a special Kyurem-powered cannon to freeze several buildings and civilians in an instant. Later, Blake found that Whitley was captured and locked in an empty cabin. After picking the lock and faking his own capture, Blake reunited with Whitley and asked where and when she was taken. Finding his behavior suspicious, Whitley realized that Blake's constant advancements were to uncover her connection to Team Plasma. Whitley accidentally revealed her allegiance to Team Plasma, but claimed she never participated in their crimes. Having confirmed his suspicions, Blake handcuffed Whitley and told her he was an International Police officer. After assuring that he only wanted to talk, Blake asked Whitley where the memory card was located. Whitley agreed to help on the condition they freed Kyurem from Colress's control first. After battling through several Grunts, Blake and Whitley arrived at Kyurem's chamber and destroyed it, only to find it empty. Colress appeared and revealed that they drained Kyurem of enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress then had Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley solid before commanding some Grunts to toss them into the ocean.

In ''[[PS542|N Returns]]'', Blake awakened at the [[Abyssal Ruins]], where he and Whitley were taken to by Kelden after it used an [[Aspear Berry]] to break free of the ice. Due to the unique properties of the cave, Blake was able to hear Kelden's thoughts, allowing him to communicate with it. Kelden took Blake to the bodies of its master, {{adv|Swords of Justice|Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion}}, who had been frozen solid by Genesect's Techno Blast in their previous encounter with it. Reasoning that a {{type|Fire}} Techno Blast could melt the ice created by an {{type|Ice}} version of the same move, Blake sent out Genesect to free Kelden's masters, but was stopped by Whitley, who feared the faulty [[Burn Drive]] could explode and seriously harm Genesect. Confused, Blake revealed he cannot feel emotions such as pity or fear and stated he was using what he believed to be the most effective way to free Kelden's masters and that Genesect could simply be healed afterward. Techno Blast successfully frees Keldeo's masters, and as an act of gratitude, {{p|Cobalion}} uses its sword to remove the Burn Drive, preventing the explosion from harming Genesect. Afterward, Blake tried gaining access to the International Police surveillance satellite, only to discover that he had been fired from the International Police and his privileges were revoked.

Blake decided that if they were to face Team Plasma again, he and Whitley would need more team members. After catching a {{p|Shelmet}}, Blake traded it for Whitley's newly caught {{p|Karrablast}}, causing both to evolve into an {{p|Accelgor}} and an {{p|Escavalier}}. Afterward, the ruins started ejecting everyone out of it, forcing Blake and Whitley to ride on Kelden's back and head outside along with Kelden's masters. Kyurem's influence caused the [[DNA Splicers]] in Blake's bag to rapidly pull him, Whitley, and Kelden to the surface towards it. After they emerged, Blake flew towards Kyurem, but was knocked out by the DNA Splicers' power and fell back into the ocean, forcing Whitley and Kelden to dive back in to rescue him.

[[File:Aspertia Trainers School graduation Adventures.png|thumb|left|270px|Blake graduating from the Trainers' School]]
In ''[[PS544|Dream World]]'', Blake and Whitley were found on a beach by {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}}. Once they introduced themselves to each other, the four Unova Pokédex holders decided to team up and face Team Plasma. After tracking Kyurem's whereabouts to the [[Giant Chasm]], Blake and the others rode on Black's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}'s back to chase after Ghetsis. After arriving at their destination, the group encountered [[Iris]] as well as [[Gorm]], who had betrayed Team Plasma to join the side of good. Tired of waiting for the heroes, Colress revealed himself and told Kyurem to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress, [[Rood]] appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt the Colress Machine's effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the Dark Stone before absorbing Reshiram to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}. Frustrated at his machine's loss, Colress threw it away and fled, stating he chose to quit Team Plasma. Blake told the others to stop Kyurem from destroying the frigate while he chased after Colress. In the skies, Blake confronted Colress, who revealed he had a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect that was superior to Blake's. Blake had the Pokémon he left behind at the Pokémon World Tournament construction site returned to him by Looker. While Blake's Genesect struggled due to its injuries, Kelden appeared in its Resolute Form and struck Colress with its sword. The attack only shattered the Reveal Glass, reverting Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus back into their Incarnate Formes.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Blake realized Colress was using a second, improved Colress Machine to control his Genesect. Blake's team tracked down Colress's {{p|Beheeyem}} and destroyed the device it was carrying, causing the Red Genesect to kick Colress off of its back. Blake tried to save Colress, but the scientist ordered his Genesect to fire a Techno Blast, revealing that it was truly his Pokémon and the second Colress Machine was diversion. Blake's defense suit protected him, only for Colress to command a second shot. Blake used Escavalier to jam Genesect's cannon, causing it to backfire and explode, knocking both Pokémon out. Blake was then assisted by {{p|Victini}}, a Pokémon Black helped two years ago. After taking down Colress's last Pokémon, Kyurem appeared and froze the scientist solid, defeating him. He later regrouped with the others at [[N's Castle]], which had been set aflame due to the Plasma Frigate crashing into it. Blake, Whitley, Black, White, Hugh, Cheren, Bianca, [[Benga]], and [[Cedric Juniper]] combined the might of all three stages of the Unova [[starter Pokémon]] and unleashed a triple {{m|Water Pledge|Water}}, {{m|Grass Pledge|Grass}}, and {{m|Fire Pledge}} combination attack, successfully dousing the flames. Later, Looker reported to Blake that Colress had been successfully captured, deliberately ignoring that Blake was no longer his superior. Blake then watched as Ghetsis was arrested and taken into police custody.

In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Blake was reinstated in the International Police due to his work in capturing the Seven Sages and Colress. He was ordered to continue living his life as a student until his next assignment came. During the Trainers' School graduation ceremony, Blake informed Whitley about his next mission and told everyone he'd be moving away from Unova. Sometime later, Blake, disguised as Colress, departed for a new mission in [[Alola]] with the Magician.

==={{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}===
In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', Blake, disguised as Colress, handed [[Lusamine]] a large amount of [[Beast Ball]]s in preparation for catching another [[Ultra Beast]]. After asking why she needed such a large amount of Beast Balls when one was more than enough, Lusamine revealed her next target was the powerful Ultra Beast worshiped as the "Blinding One" by the people of the [[Ultra Megalopolis]]: {{DL|Light trio (Adventures)|Necrozma}}.

==Pokémon==
With the exception of Kelden, Blake gives his Pokémon [[nickname]]s by taking a part of the species name and attaching the suffix ''-ott'' to the end of it. While Dewott does not have a nickname, its species name still fits this naming pattern. In the Japanese version, Blake gives his Pokémon nicknames by taking a part of the species name and attaching the suffix ''-maru'' to the end of it. The Japanese name of the Dewott species, Futachimaru, also fits this naming pattern.

According to an insert in ''[[Pokémon Adventures volume 54|Volume 54]]'', all of Blake's Pokémon reference various weapons but are otherwise never referred to as such in the manga.

[[File:Kimi.png|thumb|150px|Kimi]]
'''Kimi''' (Japanese: '''ヒソカ''' ''Hisoka'') is a character in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. She is [[Drayden]]'s secretary.

==History==
==={{chap|Black & White}}===
Kimi debuted in ''[[PS503|Tooth and Claw]]'', having arranged for a media event on Drayden's behalf despite her misgivings on Drayden's intentional omission on the event's details. She then appeared during the event itself in ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]'', informing Drayden of another meeting and giving him a pretext to leave the media after announcing the opening of the [[Pokémon League]] in one week. Internally, Drayden admits that bringing the League forward is a gambit meant to force [[Team Plasma]] out of hiding; despite Drayden's gruff demeanor, Kimi points out Drayden's caring side by reminding him that he's also made arrangements to ensure the safety of the spectators.

Following the start of the Pokémon League tournament in ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]'', Kimi witnessed {{adv|Black}} confronting Drayden in a last-ditch attempt to collect enough Badges to qualify, and covered for Drayden and Black as they had an impromptu battle in ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'' while making sure that the opening ceremony proceeded without interruption.

In [[Iris]]'s [[PS516|flashback]], Kimi was shown to have accompanied Drayden on his trip to [[Blackthorn City]], and revealed Drayden's interest in having Iris succeed him as Gym Leader.

Following the reveal and subduing of [[Zinzolin]] at the League in ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Kimi helped Drayden contain the crowd and confirm Zinzolin's arrest. She continued to hold custody of Zinzolin in ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', assuring Black that Drayden and Iris had evacuated all the spectators, but was unable to stop Zinzolin from activating Team Plasma's Castle.

==={{chap|Black & White 2}}===
Kimi appeared in ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'' to help evacuate the citizens of [[Opelucid City]] who were frozen or trapped in their homes from Team Plasma's attack. She advised Drayden to head for the final battle, only to be rejected as Drayden affirmed his need to help the people as a politician.

Kimi does not have any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of her own.

'''Giant Chasm''' (Japanese: '''VSホワイトキュレム''' ''VS White Kyurem'' or '''ジャイアント・ホール''' ''{{tt|Giant Hole|Giant Chasm}}'') is the 546th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
In [[Opelucid City]], [[Drayden]] looks over {{tc|Doctor}} Logan as he inspects a frozen man. Logan confirms that everyone frozen by {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} is stuck in a state of cryogenic sleep, similar to [[PS068|incidents]] in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] he'd come across, and promises to make some calls to consult others who can advise him. [[Clay]] mobilizes his subordinates to break people out of their frozen homes, assisted by the [[Striaton Gym]] brothers as [[Chili]] orders his {{p|Simisear}} to burn away some ice. As Drayden helps to escort some elderly folk, he ends up slipping on the ice despite his warning to them, and Clay teases Drayden that having to be rescued must frustrate him. Worried, [[Kimi]] asks Drayden to head for the battle against Kyurem, but Drayden claims that as the city's mayor, it's his duty to assist citizens in need, and his role in the fight has passed: he passed on his knowledge to [[Alder]] and [[Gorm]] who have made their moves, and the [[Pokédex holders]] of [[Unova]] have also made their way to the battlefield.

From atop {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, the Pokédex holders spot the [[Plasma Frigate]] on the [[Giant Chasm]] forest floor, but Black Kyurem and [[Team Plasma]] are nowhere to be found. The heroes decide to alight, and quickly come across Gorm, who {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|Blake}} respectively try to apprehend but end up getting in each other's way. Before an argument can break out, {{adv|White}} confirms that Gorm is an ally, and Black decides to place his trust in White. The show of trust prompts a nearby [[Iris]] to gush at Black's dedication, although she takes offense at Black failing to recognize her due to her new costume. Blake presses Gorm for an explanation, and Gorm shares that his task in Team Plasma was to do research on {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, which allowed him to provide Drayden with the intel needed to create a counterplan against Team Plasma's plot for Kyurem. Iris adds that Alder, {{adv|N}}, Gorm, [[Benga]] and her all gathered at the [[White Treehollow]] to train for the upcoming clash; thus she took the opportunity to defeat both Alder and N in battle, cementing her position as the new Champion of Unova after she spent two years gathering the necessary [[Badges]] again. Flabbergasted, Black performs his usual cheer, promising to defeat Iris and become the new Champion, prompting Iris to shed a tear of relief that Black is well and truly back.

As Whitley ponders over why N would train with Alder, the person he previously claimed to be an enemy, the reunion is interrupted by [[Colress]] and Black Kyurem as the scientist addresses the group. Concurring with Gorm's research, Colress adds that being in the Giant Chasm greatly amplifies Kyurem's power, and he orders a {{m|Freeze Shock}} that freezes and paralyzes the group, preventing Black from commanding Reshiram effectively. A thick layer of ice starts to build over the chasm, but suddenly stops shy of completely freezing over despite Colress' command. From a distance, [[Kelden]] notices the ice, and is chided by its {{adv|Swords of Justice|seniors}} for its hesitation. Seeing Kelden worried about their safety, {{p|Cobalion}} reminds Kelden that the meaning of determination is to face its true battle as an independent Pokémon, even if it might mean abandoning or turning on its mentors. Anguished, Kelden lets out a cry as it leaves its seniors' side.

Behind Colress, [[Rood]] on his {{p|Swoobat}} declares that the effects of Colress' machine have been nullified by the white Team Plasma's Colress Machine Nullification Device, and Kyurem will no longer take Colress' command. Infuriated, Colress calls for another Freeze Shock, only for Kyurem to disengage from the [[Dark Stone]] and revert to its original form. To Rood's surprise, Kyurem forcibly absorbs Reshiram and changes into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}} forme, and Colress gloats that Kyurem had simply absorbed the legendary Dragon it deemed to be the stronger threat, meaning his influence over it hasn't waned. Colress orders an {{m|Ice Burn}}, but at the last second White Kyurem turns around and releases the attack at Colress instead, forcing Colress to barely dodge. Rood and Blake affirm that Colress' device has failed, and after some thought, Colress agrees with them, tossing his remote aside and cheerfully renouncing his ties with Team Plasma, proceeding to flee.

Blake immediately jumps on his [[Blake's Genesect|Genesect]] to chase after Colress, ordering the others to subdue Kyurem, who has begun chasing after the Plasma Frigate to destroy it. As Black's pleas fail to reach Reshiram inside White Kyurem, the others send out their Pokémon to fight Kyurem as Blake chases after Colress. Annoyed, Colress asks Blake why he's pursuing him when he's not a part of Team Plasma anymore; Blake counters that he's no longer a member of the [[International Police]] and isn't bound by their orders, so he's arresting Colress for posing a threat. Impressed, Colress acknowledges Blake as an equal who is not beholden to a larger organization, but adds that a friendship between them is impossible since he swore to destroy Blake when they first met. Shedding his cloak, Colress reveals himself to be standing atop a [[Shiny Pokémon|red Genesect]], surprising Blake that there was another, and Colress boasts that the power of Blake's Genesect doesn't come close to matching his. Watching the events unfold, Kelden realizes the truth: while it detected a sinister energy from the entity that froze its mentors, it didn't feel the same force from Blake's Genesect because it wasn't the one responsible for attacking its mentors. Realizing who its true opponent is, Kelden reasons that it isn't fighting to avenge its mentors, but to stop Colress and the red Genesect before they pose a threat to its friends and the region. The epiphany of determination prompts Kelden's change into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Keldeo|Resolute Forme}}.

'''Deduction Time''' (Japanese: '''VSギギアル''' ''VS {{tt|Gigiaru|Klang}}'' or '''リーズニング・タイム''' ''Reasoning Time'') is the 545th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
As [[Foongy]] wakes her up, {{adv|Whitley}} is terrified at the sight of [[Musha]] on top of {{adv|Black}}'s head, having a freakout before {{adv|White}} calms her down. {{adv|Blake}} explains that Black uses Musha to organize the information in his head, pointing out that as part of the [[International Police]]'s investigations, they gathered extensive information on Black. White hurriedly turns Blake down for an explanation on the data the Police have on her, and Whitley expresses relief that Blake is fine. Blake assures Whitley that Black and White share the same goal of liberating {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} from [[Team Plasma]] as Black reaches his epiphany. Ordering a {{m|Blue Flare}} from {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}, Black sends out [[Bo]] to smell the scent of Blue Flare and track it; Bo confirms that the scent traveled northwest. Black explains that from his visions, he saw the [[Plasma Frigate]] facing northwest when it deployed its smokescreen, and Kyurem had been previously burned by Reshiram's Blue Flare, which explains why the scent of the flare traveled in the same way. He adds that he had a vision of a forest in a chasm from Kyurem's mind when Musha ate his dreams, which had never happened before. Blake confirms that the location Black saw is the [[Giant Chasm]], located near [[Lacunosa Town]] which is northwest from where they are. The group decides to head there as White registers everyone on their [[Xtransceivers]] to keep in contact, and sends out her {{p|Alomomola}} to heal everyone with {{m|Heal Pulse}}.

Black asks everyone to get on top of Reshiram, including a startled Whitley; she is helped on board by {{adv|Swords of Justice|Cobalion}}, amusing Black by the fact that it's taken to her so easily. The group discusses where N has gone, and Blake suggests that N must have been captured by Team Plasma to stop his interference, prompting Whitley's determination to pursue them. As the group flies off on Reshiram while followed by the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} below, Whitley is afraid of what might have happened to N, causing White to ask her if she's scared. White gently advises Whitley to focus on her personal dream, which Whitley explains is to have a world where Pokémon can live without fear or harm, and where humans may be permitted if they see fit. White shares that she had been living in fear for the past two years, but after taking her time and doing what she could, she eventually saw her dream come true: being able to have Black by her side again, and suggests that Whitley live to the best of her ability without the fear of not producing results. White assures Whitley that having seen how she cares for Pokémon, she believes Whitley can achieve her dream, and Whitley thanks everyone on board for their support.

At the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] construction site, [[Leo]] and [[Hugh's sister]] emerge from the [[Relic Passage]], only to be met by [[Elesa]]. Meanwhile at [[Aspertia City]], [[Hugh]] continues defending himself against the grunts from black Team Plasma to buy time for [[Rood]]; eventually Rood's {{p|Chandelure}} manages to fend the grunts off with a powerful {{m|Inferno}}. Rood mentions that the machine to neutralize [[Colress]]'s device is kept at the white Team Plasma hideout in [[Driftveil City]] and they will need to head there next.

Leo recognizes Elesa as she asks [[Skyla]] to come down on her airplane, and the [[Gym Leader]] confirms that she was asked by {{adv|Cheren}} to find him after [[Marlon]] and the others evacuated his classmates from the [[Marine Tube]]. Hugh's sister explains that Leo had taken her to eat Casteliacones when she heard Hugh's voice from the [[Castelia City Sewers]], surprising her from how angry [[PS536|he sounded]]. Just as Leo took her to investigate, the attack from the Plasma Frigate froze over the entire city and they had escaped it just in time. Elesa is surprised that the two made it out safely through the Pokémon-infested underground system, and Leo admits that his {{p|Deino}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Zweilous}} from the battles he had to fight. Leo's surprise at Team Plasma's involvement is interrupted as [[Looker]] arrives on the scene, fleeing from Skyla's plane as she nearly runs him over, much to her confusion. Looker admits that he had been trying to reach Blake's Pokémon, having seeing them knocked out, although he tries to deny previously knowing Leo as the two recognize each other from the [[Pokémon League]]. Skyla wonders which of the individuals present are Blake, Leo and Hugh as Leo explains the situation, but Hugh's sister is horrified at the realization that her brother has gone missing. At that moment, Leo receives a call from Hugh, who confirms that he's safe but can't get to them yet, promising his sister to return after he's collaborated with the white Team Plasma members to rescue her {{p|Purrloin}}.

Above Lacunosa Town, the Plasma Frigate pursues Black Kyurem, who has headed there despite the attempts of [[Colress]] and [[Ghetsis]] to control it. Colress takes offense from Ghetsis' suggestion that his device has failed to control Kyurem, and terminates the call between them. Colress wonders if the unconscious Zinzolin or N might have exerted some influence over Kyurem, admitting that he'd always been fascinated by N's ability to hear the voices of Pokémon. He spots Reshiram and the Swords of Justice in pursuit, and Ghetsis confirms that he's sent the [[Shadow Triad]] to intercept them. On the ground, the three members of the Triad release the {{adv|Forces of Nature}} in their Therian formes to battle the Swords of Justice, and [[Kelden]]'s mentors prepare to do battle as revenge for being frozen.

In the frozen [[White Forest]], a group of Pokémon break out of the [[White Treehollow]]. [[Iris]] emerges in her Champion's outfit, remarking that she didn't expect to be frozen in while training and wouldn't have escaped if she was only trapped with "Grandpa", while adding that the cloak that "Grandpa" gave her has been muddied. Another voice asks her to be clear who she's referring to; Iris corrects herself, pointing out that she'd only broken out with help from "Grandpa [[Gorm]]", and the cloak that "Grandpa [[Drayden]]" gave her was soiled. The voice takes offense over the fact that Iris hasn't said anything good about him yet, revealing himself to be [[Alder]]. Iris teases Alder, saying that her opinion will depend on his actions, and Alder affirms his desire to settle his score from two years ago.

'''Dream World''' (Japanese: '''VSブラックキュレム''' ''VS Black Kyurem'' or '''ドリーム・ワールド''' ''Dream World'') is the 544th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
Having been absorbed into the [[Light Stone]], {{adv|White}} sees that she's bumped into {{adv|N}}, who she believed was trapped inside the [[Dark Stone]] after {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} absorbed it. N clarifies that they're now in the [[Pokémon Dream World]], which {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} had spoken of in their time together. White realizes that this is the realm [[Fennel]] suggested where {{adv|Black}} would be; sure enough, she hears Black yell out in frustration as he had planned on having Reshiram and himself absorbed into Kyurem so they could try fighting Kyurem from the inside. Hearing White's voice, Black apologizes for dragging White into the battle, and asks N to take over fighting Kyurem on the inside while he and White leave when {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}} wakes up. Before he can talk about their [[PS524|unresolved debt]], Black is stunned silent as White pulls him into a hug, welcoming him back.

A sudden upheaval and loud voice from Reshiram interrupts the moment, warning Black that it can no longer resist Kyurem's call to awaken. Reshiram shows the group a vision of [[Ghetsis]] standing on top of {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}, revealing that Kyurem has successfully fused with the Deep Black Pokémon. Awed by Kyurem's newfound power, [[Colress]] has Ghetsis order a {{m|Freeze Shock}} that instantly freezes [[Undella Town]] and the nearby ocean over without the power of the [[Plasma Frigate]]. As the villains recognize the Light Stone floating in mid-air, Black and White prepare to leave the Dream World. Black requests N to take over his role of attacking from within as he asks White to not let go of his hand. Adapting his catchphrase, White affirms that she'll never let go of Black again as they leap into a bright void.

Out on the sea again, White initially only sees her {{p|Vullaby}} and starts to panic if she had dreamt the entire encounter, only for Black, Reshiram and [[Brav]] to reveal themselves above her. Under Black and White's command, the three Pokémon launch a combination aerial attack that White had practiced with Brav and Barbara two years prior, but are forced to call off the attack as N is sighted falling onto Black Kyurem. The delay allows Ghetsis to attack everyone with {{m|Fusion Bolt}} as Black and White are surprised that N was forced out too; N admits he was thrown out of the Dream World shortly after Black and White left, and he can no longer hear Zekrom's voice. Amused, Colress asks Ghetsis to get rid of N; despite N calling him "father", Ghetsis knocks N off of Black Kyurem with his staff. Before he can dive in to save N, Black is stopped by a sudden smokescreen. Ascertaining White's safety, Black is forced to wait for the smoke to fade, revealing that the Plasma Frigate, N and Black Kyurem have all disappeared. From their vantage point, White spots {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} having washed ashore, along with Reshiram, Kelden and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} watching over them.

Black is surprised to see the Pokémon he'd [[PS507|previously encountered]], while White recognizes Blake and Whitley as {{p|Dewott}} Kid and {{p|Foongus}} Girl from the film they shot at [[Pokéstar Studios]], causing Black to suffer an information overload from not having caught up with developments for two years. White assures him that Blake and Whitley are also [[Pokédex holders]] as they are, showing him Blake's Pokédex; this causes Blake to promptly wake up and put White in a chokehold from the surprise. Quickly freeing White at the sight of Black's anger, Blake addresses his seniors, revealing that he knows who they are, including the knowledge that Black was previously imprisoned in the [[Light Stone]]. White's query of Blake's knowledge is interrupted as [[Looker]] calls Blake on his phone, distraught over Blake's dismissal, but Blake simply disconnects from the call. White is surprised that Blake is a police inspector given his age, and Blake candidly points out that White ran [[BW Agency]] when she was just as young, annoying White with his response.

Blake consults his seniors over what happened, including the disappearance of Black Kyurem and the Plasma Frigate. Reasoning that the team's next priority is to locate Kyurem, Blake asks why Black hasn't already done "that thing" to help out, causing Black to take offense before White calms him down. Releasing [[Musha]], Black orders his Pokémon to clear his mind out again by eating his dreams.

==Major events==
* {{adv|White}} and {{adv|N}} enter the [[Pokémon Dream World]], which is linked to the [[Light Stone]].
* White reunites with {{adv|Black}}.
* {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} successfully absorbs {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} and changes into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}.
* Kyurem freezes [[Undella Town]].
* Black and White exit the Light Stone.
* Black attempts to fight [[Ghetsis]] and Kyurem, but is defeated.
* N is revealed to have been forced out of the Dream World alongside Black and White.
* Seeing that N poses a threat to the stability of Kyurem's Absofusion, Ghetsis throws him into the sea.
* [[Team Plasma]] escapes thanks to a smokescreen.
* Black and White meet Blake and Whitley for the first time.
* Blake asks for Black's assistance in locating the [[Plasma Frigate]].

'''Abyssal Ruins''' (Japanese: '''VSチョボマキ''' ''VS {{tt|Chobomaki|Shelmet}}'' or '''アビシャル・リューインズ''' ''Abyssal Ruins'') is the 543rd round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
Upon reading the notice of his firing from the [[International Police]], {{adv|Blake}} realizes that the handcuffs he put on {{adv|Whitley}} were deactivated as a result. Without his International Police equipment and only having [[Kelden]] on top of his injured [[Blake's Genesect|Genesect]], Blake reasons that he will need to capture additional Pokémon to defend himself. Considering the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} to be too strong to subdue, he turns his attention to the nearby wild Pokémon. Meanwhile, Whitley asks {{p|Cobalion}} why it told Kelden to trust in Blake despite Kelden's concerns over Blake's lack of emotions. Cobalion points out that Blake, like Kelden, is intent on stopping [[Team Plasma]] and freeing {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} from their control; his calm rationale is necessary in assisting the group's efforts, and the Swords of Justice will decide if Blake merits their trust after the crisis is averted.

Sensing Whitley's unease, {{p|Virizion}} and {{p|Terrakion}} thank Whitley for her concern over Kelden, but Whitley admits that having witnessed Team Plasma's mistakes, her own convictions have been shaken and she is uncertain if she truly understood Pokémon, or if she acted out of self-interest. Virizion agrees that humans assume the emotions of Pokémon based on their own judgements, and Terrakion encourages Whitley to take her time to find her own answer. Arriving at an epiphany, Whitley approaches Blake as he investigates the [[Abyssal Ruins]], asking if she can help. Blake explains his rationale, offering Whitley a [[Quick Ball]] to capture a nearby {{p|Karrablast}}; having never handled a [[Poké Ball]] before, Whitley is traumatized at the idea of capturing a Pokémon, prompting [[Foongy]] to knock the ball out of her hand and make the capture. Blake proceeds to [[trade]] Whitley's new Karrablast for his {{p|Shelmet}}, prompting their simultaneous [[evolution]] into {{p|Escavalier}} and {{p|Accelgor}}. As Whitley reads up Shelmet's [[Pokédex]] entry, she realizes that she can use the Pokédex to understand Pokémon more. Realizing that the ruins' power will let her talk to Foongy, she attempts to talk to him, but is interrupted by the ruins' security mechanism, causing the structure to quickly flood. The Swords of Justice prompt everyone to evacuate, but not before Whitley offers them her thanks as the group moves towards the water surface in bubbles.

As [[Hugh]] comes to, he realizes that he's back at the Trainer School in [[Aspertia City]]. [[Rood]] makes himself known, and is promptly attacked by Hugh's {{p|Eelektross}} as Hugh demands for his [[Hugh's sister|sister's]] {{p|Purrloin}}. Rood recalls the details of [[PS531|Team Plasma's first abduction]], and acknowledges that Purrloin is safe and sound, but he cannot bring Hugh to Purrloin until the Team Plasma Frigate has been brought down, and the key to that lies in the memory card Hugh retrieved and left in his room. Rood informs Hugh of the two factions within Team Plasma, and Hugh recognizes the black faction as the team he fought in the [[Castelia City Sewers]]. As Rood finishes his explanation, members of the black Team Plasma show up to bring Rood into their custody, releasing their Pokémon to attack. To Rood's surprise, Hugh intercepts the attacks, and the boy admits he doesn't fully trust Rood, but acknowledges that given the circumstances it's his only option. Handing Rood the key to his room with [[Leo]], Hugh tells Rood where to find the memory card, letting Rood escape unscathed. Making it to Hugh's room, Rood locates the card behind a framed photo of Hugh, his sister and Purrloin from five years ago; overcome with remorse, Rood offers an apology as he retrieves the card.

In the sky, Kyurem and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} continue to fight. [[Colress]] is frustrated that Kyurem hasn't performed its Absofusion yet; upon hearing [[Zinzolin]] gloat, Colress uses his {{p|Beheeyem}} to force the answer out of Zinzolin. Despite an attempt to resist, Zinzolin blurts that Kyurem requires the [[DNA Splicers]] to trigger Absofusion; the item was not on Kyurem when he captured it, but ordering Kyurem to call to it will draw the Splicers to Kyurem. Excited, Colress asks [[Ghetsis]] to relay the command. Under the sea, Whitley realizes that Blake's bag is shining, and he produces a white sphere which he explains was found with him as an infant. Whitley is stunned to learn that Blake was orphaned as a child, and Blake reveals that the International Police found him as a baby at a crime scene. They realized he had great physical and mental aptitude, and thus put him through tests and training to be an investigator. However, Blake eventually learned that he lacked the ability to understand his emotions and those of other people, motivating him to memorize various manuals so he would always be able to present appropriate emotions to achieve desired results in communication. He muses that his experiences have proven that the manuals he read were inadequate, but given that he's been fired from the Police, he has no reason to report on his findings.

Whitley is shocked that Blake has been fired, and asks why he's still intent on saving Kyurem. Blake admits that he has no understanding of morality or the difference from right and wrong, adding that as part of his training, the investigator assigned to his care taught him a tenet: he had to pursue and arrest violent criminal individuals and organizations to bring them to justice, even if it meant ignoring or violating the rights of citizens in the process. Blake concludes that his pursuit of Team Plasma despite his firing is the only way he knows how to live. The moment is interrupted as the sphere in Blake's hand starts glowing, abruptly pulling Blake - along with Kelden and Whitley in their bubble - towards the surface, breaching the water as Whitley sees {{adv|N}} standing atop Zekrom. Unable to hold onto the sphere any longer, Blake is tossed back into the ocean, forcing Whitley and Kelden to dive back in and rescue him as {{adv|White}} watches from a distance. Colress realizes that the sphere itself is the DNA Splicers, and asks Ghetsis to prompt Kyurem to activate it, causing the sphere to change into its active, spike-shaped form before it is absorbed into Kyurem.

With the DNA Splicers absorbed, the ice on Kyurem's wings shatter as it looks towards N and White. N orders Zekrom to dive at Kyurem, and Kyurem releases several beams from its wing spikes, forcing Zekrom to revert into the [[Dark Stone]] along with N despite White's pleas. As the Dark Stone is taken in, the [[Light Stone]] suddenly flies towards Kyurem, dragging White along with it as she is absorbed into the Light Stone. In a [[Dream World|void]], White is stunned as she knocks into someone.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==
When chasing your dream, do you give up when everyone tells you it’s wrong? Should you listen? Or do you continue to follow your vision, even if it puts all of Kalos at risk?

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}

In [[Geosenge Town]], the earth is torn apart and houses destroyed as [[Team Flare]] deploys the [[ultimate weapon]]. Wearing his Lysandre Machine, [[Lysandre]] faces down {{ga|Calem}} and {{p|Xerneas}}, remarking that he must recapture Xerneas to feed its energy into the ultimate weapon, and sends out his {{p|Gyarados}} before activating its [[Mega Evolution]]. The battle proves to be short-lived as Xerneas defeats Mega Gyarados in a single {{m|Moonblast}}.

As [[Shauna]] and {{ga|Serena}} arrive on the scene, Lysandre lets out a roar in frustration, tossing his goggles to the floor and falls to his knees. In a series of flashbacks, Lysandre recalls his conversations with [[Diantha]] and [[Professor Sycamore]], going over his fears that [[Kalos]] will one day lose its beauty and Pokémon will no longer exist. Getting to his feet, Lysandre addresses the Trainers before him, saying that he doesn't expect them to understand his perspectives. Gesturing at the ultimate weapon, he remarks that its original intention was to give life, and it has enough energy for one final shot. His mouth turns up in a crazed grin as he declares he shall use it on himself and the three Trainers, so they may know the pain of eternal life and watching the beautiful world fade away.

In fear, Shauna and Serena back away with Calem following suit. Alarms sound through the base as {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s alike evacuate the facility. Rippling with power, the weapon sends one energy blast skyward, piercing the clouds and flying into space before diving back down, before Lysandre screams that he and the Trainers shall live forever. The energy slams into Geosenge Town before the ultimate weapon sinks beneath the ground as Calem, Serena and Shauna watch on silently.

A week later, Professor Sycamore watches [[Malva]] make an announcement on the [[Holo Caster]]. Malva acknowledges the shock felt throughout the region from Lysandre's actions, and plays a clip of Lysandre from a previous time, when he advised Trainers that the world was not set in stone, and they had the power to build a brighter future.

==Major events==
* [[Team Flare]] deploys the [[ultimate weapon]] in [[Geosenge Town]].
* {{ga|Calem}} battles and defeats [[Lysandre]].
* Lysandre uses the ultimate weapon in an attempt to grant himself, Calem, {{ga|Serena}}, and [[Shauna]] immortality.
* The ultimate weapon is buried again.

** Also, unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where the rival only obtains a [[Mega Ring]] during the post-game, Serena is seen wearing a Mega Ring here.
* The two {{p|Pikachu}} in this episode wear the hats of {{ga|Calem}} and Serena.

'''Blake''' (Japanese: '''ラクツ ''' ''Lack-Two'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is a high-ranking member of the [[International Police]]. His rank is Inspector (Japanese: '''警視''' ''Superintendent'') and his codename is '''Black No. 2''' (Japanese: '''黒の２号''' ''Black 2'').

==Character==
Despite his young age, Blake is a member of the International Police with an S rank in the organization. He is tasked with searching for any remaining members of the villainous group, Team Plasma. When undercover, he acts like a womanizer by constantly flirting with the girls around him. When on the job, he takes on a more serious and professional persona. Because of his flirting skills, the superior also call him Mr. Perfect. For his skills, he is given the title of '''"Arrester"''' ({{tt|逮捕る者|とらえるもの}} ''Arrester'').

Like Looker, Blake also uses the International Police Arms, but is more successful in using them. The jumpsuit he wears underneath his regular clothing doubles as a set of armor that can protect him from attacks.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prior to {{chap|Black & White}}===
Blake lost his parents as an infant, and was found by the International Police at a crime scene along with the [[DNA Splicers]]. Despite being found to have high intellect and physical skill, Black lacked emotions and a sense of telling right from wrong. To remedy this, Blake memorized various manuals that told him how to interact with other humans and Pokémon while the International Police trained him in methods of investigation and law enforcement. Blake was also taught by the Chief Commissioner of the International Police, who at the time was the investigator tasked with raising him, that his duty was to pursue and arrest dangerous individuals even if it meant having to ignore and violate the rights of normal civilians. This pedagogy formed the closest thing Blake had to a moral code and way of living.

==={{chap|Black & White}}===
Blake first appeared in a cameo in ''[[PS510|A Wretched Reunion]]'', where he saw {{adv|Looker}} going on a mission to investigate the {{un|Pokémon League}}. When he asked if he should go as well, Blake's superior said Looker was more than enough for the job, despite his clumsy nature.

==={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}===
Blake properly debuted in ''[[PS525|The Transfer Student]]'', where he broke up with [[Yancy]] before heading off to class at the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] with [[Leo]]. Their attempt to sneak into class was stopped by [[Hugh]], who angrily told Blake to focus more on improving himself as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} instead of flirting with girls. Their argument alerted the new teacher, {{adv|Cheren}}, who forced the three to sit outside as punishment. While they waited, Blake, Hugh, and Leo spotted the new transfer student, {{adv|Whitley}}, arriving at class. Hearing the conversation Blake and others were having about Whitley, Cheren decided to skip the lecture and instead had the students battle each other. Separated into two separate groups by gender, Blake and Whitley competed against their classmates and won, earning themselves a [[Pokédex]] from {{adv|Bianca}}. Later, Blake was seen in his room crossing off Yancy, {{adv|Yuki}}, {{adv|Maya}}, and {{adv|Yuko}} as potential [[Team Plasma]] members. He was approached by Looker, another member of the International Police who had been looking for him. After defeating a {{p|Scolipede}} that was sent to attack Looker, Blake revealed that he was Looker's superior on their mission.

[[File:Blake Defense Suit.png|thumb|left|200px|Blake's defense suit]]
In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Blake and Looker traveled to Aspertia City's alleyways, where Blake met with his maintenance man, the {{adv|Magician}}. Blake had the Magician create a custom [[Poké Ball]] cover to make using them easier. After hearing a loud explosion outside, Blake and Looker found the culprit was a {{TP|Blake|Genesect}}. Blake battled with Genesect and eventually discovered it was under the control of [[Colress]], a scientist on the run for conducting unauthorized experiments on Pokémon. Praising Blake's analytical skills, Colress had Genesect fire directly at the boy with its {{m|Techno Blast}}. With his Defense Suit and Dewott's assistance, Blake managed to survive. Noticing that Colress used the [[Colress Machine]] to control Genesect, Blake deduced that Genesect is a wild Pokémon and thus was able to be caught.

With the custom Poké Balls, Blake and Dewott attacked Genesect simultaneously, slowly whittling it down by forcing it to defend from two different attacks at once. When Colress discovered one of thrown Poké Balls was a [[Luxury Ball]], he assumed Blake to be a kindred spirit who agreed with his desire to artificially bring out a Pokémon's strength. Blake denied this and called the Colress Machine a failure, angering the scientist. Colress switched out Genesect's Neutral [[Drive]] for the Shock Drive, turning its Techno Blast into an {{type|Electric}} move. Dewott and Genesect clashed with each other, causing a large explosion, but when the smoke cleared, Genesect had been caught. Defeated, Colress revealed how Genesect works and that [[Ghetsis]] made him the new leader of Team Plasma before making his escape. Afterward, Blake revealed to Looker that his womanizing antics are merely a ploy to find a former female {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} that was tasked with protecting a memory card containing data on a machine that can counteract the Colress Machine. With their mission over, Blake and Looker headed back to the Trainers' School to write a report to headquarters about the incident.

In ''[[PS529|Pokédex Lecture]]'', Blake decided to use the Pokédex as a way of getting closer to Whitley. He dragged her to the [[Pledge Grove]] under the guise of a trip to fill the Pokédex with data. When Blake got too close, Whitley's [[Foongy]] retaliated with a {{m|Sweet Scent}}, accidentally summoning a {{p|Keldeo}} in the process. Keldeo immediately attacked, causing Blake and Whitley to fall off a nearby cliff. After saving himself, Blake carried the unconscious Whitley back to school.

In ''[[PS530|Movie Panic]]'', Cheren took his class to a school trip at [[Pokéstar Studios]]. There, Whitley acted in a [[Brycen-Man Series|Brycen-Man]] movie where she faced the titular villain while playing the role of the superheroine {{p|Foongus}} Girl. She easily defeated Brycen-Man's Pokémon, but a Mecha {{p|Tyranitar}} from another movie set appeared and began running wild. Blake, as the {{p|Dewott}} Kid, stepped in to save the day, much to Whitley's embarrassment. After leaving, Blake continued to frustrate Whitley with his advances on the bus ride home.

In ''[[PS532|Legendary Tornadus]]'', Blake took Whitley to {{rt|20|Unova}}, where [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]] had been spotted. Looker kept watch in secret to see if Whitley and Giallo would recognize each other and confirm their suspicions about her. Shortly after arriving, Blake and Whitley were attacked by {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Tornadus}}, who immediately turned into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Forme}}. Using Dewott and his new team member, [[Kelden]], Blake battled against Tornadus, only to discover its true target was Giallo. Together, Dewott and Kelden managed to freeze Tornadus, forcing the Plasma Grunts controlling it to recall it and retreat. Giallo was arrested, but the plan failed as Foongy caused Whitley to fall asleep with its spores as well as Giallo not recognizing the girl. Afterward, Blake took Whitley to the [[Virbank Gym]], where they watched a live performance by [[Roxie]] and her band.

[[File:Blake Dewott Kid.png|thumb|220px|right|Blake as Dewott Kid]]
In ''[[PS534|Choir Tournament]]'', Blake took part in the [[Autumn Choir Tournament]] as a member of Team {{p|Jigglypuff}}. After facing off against a variety of other teams in the tournament, Team Jigglypuff emerged as the winner. Roxie, who Blake had invited to judge the competition, had [[Pop Roxie|her father]] take the winning team and their class to [[Castelia City]] to compete in the Unova Choir Tournament. As they traveled on Pop Roxie's boat, Blake contacted Looker over the [[Xtransceiver]] and informed him that their true goal was to arrest [[Bronius]] and [[Ryoku]], who had been spotted around the [[Castelia Sewers]].

In ''[[PS535|Angry Boy]]'', the class arrived at Castelia City, only for Roxie to encounter an injured member of the executive committee for the Unova Choir Tournament. When the man revealed that his {{p|Karrablast}} was stolen by Team Plasma, Blake, Whitley, Hugh, and Roxie headed to the sewers to find the villains. After finding the culprits, a group of Plasma Grunts, the group was swarmed by a large number of {{p|Muk}}, forcing them to scatter. While the others battled the Grunts, Blake arrested Bronius and Ryoku. Noticing a strange chill in the airr coming from the [[Relic Passage]], Blake told Looker to handle Bronius and Ryoku while he headed down the tunnel to investigate.

In ''[[PS537|Colress Machine]]'', Blake followed the cold air to its source at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] construction site. After sending out his new team members, {{p|Kabutops|Kabutott}} and {{p|Gliscor|Glisott}}, Blake found [[Zinzolin]] at the [[Cold Storage]] defeated by {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}} and {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Landorus}}. Colress revealed he was controlling the two Pokémon and used the [[Reveal Glass]] to turn them into their Therian Formes. Colress took the unconscious Zinzolin away and sent Tornadus out to battle, forcing Blake to leave Dewott, Kabutott, and Glisott behind to fight them while he and Kelden went ahead. Colress took control of Zinzolin's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}, but was interrupted by Ghetsis, who had arrived on the [[Plasma Frigate]]. Ghetsis had Colress load Kyurem onto a special room on the Frigate. Blake attempted to arrest Ghetsis, but was stopped by the [[Shadow Triad]], whose presence caused Kelden to go berserk. Ghetsis and Colress activated the Frigate's engines, allowing the boat to take to the skies.

In ''[[PS539|Frozen World]]'', Blake managed to sneak aboard the Plasma Frigate, which traveled to Castelia City and used a special Kyurem-powered cannon to freeze several buildings and civilians in an instant. Later, Blake found that Whitley was captured and locked in an empty cabin. After picking the lock and faking his own capture, Blake reunited with Whitley and asked where and when she was taken. Finding his behavior suspicious, Whitley realized that Blake's constant advancements were to uncover her connection to Team Plasma. Whitley accidentally revealed her allegiance to Team Plasma, but claimed she never participated in their crimes. Having confirmed his suspicions, Blake handcuffed Whitley and told her he was an International Police officer. After assuring that he only wanted to talk, Blake asked Whitley where the memory card was located. Whitley agreed to help on the condition they freed Kyurem from Colress's control first. After battling through several Grunts, Blake and Whitley arrived at Kyurem's chamber and destroyed it, only to find it empty. Colress appeared and revealed that they drained Kyurem of enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress then had Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley solid before commanding some Grunts to toss them into the ocean.

In ''[[PS542|N Returns]]'', Blake awakened at the [[Abyssal Ruins]], where he and Whitley were taken to by Kelden after it used an [[Aspear Berry]] to break free of the ice. Due to the unique properties of the cave, Blake was able to hear Kelden's thoughts, allowing him to communicate with it. Kelden took Blake to the bodies of its master, {{adv|Swords of Justice|Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion}}, who had been frozen solid by Genesect's Techno Blast in their previous encounter with it. Reasoning that a {{type|Fire}} Techno Blast could melt the ice created by an {{type|Ice}} version of the same move, Blake sent out Genesect to free Kelden's masters, but was stopped by Whitley, who feared the faulty [[Burn Drive]] could explode and seriously harm Genesect. Confused, Blake revealed he cannot feel emotions such as pity or fear and stated he was using what he believed to be the most effective way to free Kelden's masters and that Genesect could simply be healed afterward. Techno Blast successfully frees Keldeo's masters, and as an act of gratitude, {{p|Cobalion}} uses its sword to remove the Burn Drive, preventing the explosion from harming Genesect. Afterward, Blake tried gaining access to the International Police surveillance satellite, only to discover that he had been fired from the International Police and his privileges were revoked.

Blake decided that if they were to face Team Plasma again, he and Whitley would need more team members. After catching a {{p|Shelmet}}, Blake traded it for Whitley's newly caught {{p|Karrablast}}, causing both to evolve into an {{p|Accelgor}} and an {{p|Escavalier}}. Afterward, the ruins started ejecting everyone out of it, forcing Blake and Whitley to ride on Kelden's back and head outside along with Kelden's masters. Kyurem's influence caused the [[DNA Splicers]] in Blake's bag to rapidly pull him, Whitley, and Kelden to the surface towards it. After they emerged, Blake flew towards Kyurem, but was knocked out by the DNA Splicers' power and fell back into the ocean, forcing Whitley and Kelden to dive back in to rescue him.

[[File:Aspertia Trainers School graduation Adventures.png|thumb|left|270px|Blake graduating from the Trainers' School]]
In ''[[PS544|Dream World]]'', Blake and Whitley were found on a beach by {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}}. Once they introduced themselves to each other, the four Unova Pokédex holders decided to team up and face Team Plasma. After tracking Kyurem's whereabouts to the [[Giant Chasm]], Blake and the others rode on Black's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}}'s back to chase after Ghetsis. After arriving at their destination, the group encountered [[Iris]] as well as [[Gorm]], who had betrayed Team Plasma to join the side of good. Tired of waiting for the heroes, Colress revealed himself and told Kyurem to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress, [[Rood]] appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt the Colress Machine's effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the Dark Stone before absorbing Reshiram to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}. Frustrated at his machine's loss, Colress threw it away and fled, stating he chose to quit Team Plasma. Blake told the others to stop Kyurem from destroying the frigate while he chased after Colress. In the skies, Blake confronted Colress, who revealed he had a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect that was superior to Blake's. Blake had the Pokémon he left behind at the Pokémon World Tournament construction site returned to him by Looker. While Blake's Genesect struggled due to its injuries, Kelden appeared in its Resolute Form and struck Colress with its sword. The attack only shattered the Reveal Glass, reverting Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus back into their Incarnate Formes.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Blake realized Colress was using a second, improved Colress Machine to control his Genesect. Blake's team tracked down Colress's {{p|Beheeyem}} and destroyed the device it was carrying, causing the Red Genesect to kick Colress off of its back. Blake tried to save Colress, but the scientist ordered his Genesect to fire a Techno Blast, revealing that it was truly his Pokémon and the second Colress Machine was diversion. Blake's defense suit protected him, only for Colress to command a second shot. Blake used Escavalier to jam Genesect's cannon, causing it to backfire and explode, knocking both Pokémon out. Blake was then assisted by {{p|Victini}}, a Pokémon Black helped two years ago. After taking down Colress's last Pokémon, Kyurem appeared and froze the scientist solid, defeating him. He later regrouped with the others at [[N's Castle]], which had been set aflame due to the Plasma Frigate crashing into it. Blake, Whitley, Black, White, Hugh, Cheren, Bianca, [[Benga]], and [[Cedric Juniper]] combined the might of all three stages of the Unova [[starter Pokémon]] and unleashed a triple {{m|Water Pledge|Water}}, {{m|Grass Pledge|Grass}}, and {{m|Fire Pledge}} combination attack, successfully dousing the flames. Later, Looker reported to Blake that Colress had been successfully captured, deliberately ignoring that Blake was no longer his superior. Blake then watched as Ghetsis was arrested and taken into police custody.

In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Blake was reinstated in the International Police due to his work in capturing the Seven Sages and Colress. He was ordered to continue living his life as a student until his next assignment came. During the Trainers' School graduation ceremony, Blake informed Whitley about his next mission and told everyone he'd be moving away from Unova. Sometime later, Blake, disguised as Colress, departed for a new mission in [[Alola]] with the Magician.

==={{chap|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}===
In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', Blake, disguised as Colress, handed [[Lusamine]] a large amount of [[Beast Ball]]s in preparation for catching another [[Ultra Beast]]. After asking why she needed such a large amount of Beast Balls when one was more than enough, Lusamine revealed her next target was the powerful Ultra Beast worshiped as the "Blinding One" by the people of the [[Ultra Megalopolis]]: {{DL|Light trio (Adventures)|Necrozma}}.

==Pokémon==
With the exception of Kelden, Blake gives his Pokémon [[nickname]]s by taking a part of the species name and attaching the suffix ''-ott'' to the end of it. While Dewott does not have a nickname, its species name still fits this naming pattern. In the Japanese version, Blake gives his Pokémon nicknames by taking a part of the species name and attaching the suffix ''-maru'' to the end of it. The Japanese name of the Dewott species, Futachimaru, also fits this naming pattern.

* In Japanese, Blake's title "Arrester" (逮捕る者) has the same pronunciation as {{adv|Crystal}}'s title "Catcher" (捕える者).
* Blake is 5'0" (152 cm) tall and weighs 110 lbs (50 kg).
* Every one of Blake's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a nature revealed has a Serious [[Nature]].
* Blake is the only Unova [[Pokédex holder]] to own a Pokémon that was introduced outside of [[Generation V]].

Shadowshocker:

{{ship}}
----
'''AgencyShipping''' (Japanese: '''ブラホワ''' ''BuraHowa'') is the belief that {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The name stems from the fact that Black works in White's [[BW Agency]] as an employee. This Ship is the [[Pokémon Adventures]] equivalent of [[ChessShipping]].

==History==
Black and White first met when Black was practicing his normal routine, interrupting a [[Xtransceiver]] commercial shoot White was hiring Pokémon out to in [[PS465|''Lights, Camera, Action'']]. When a {{p|Galvantula}} attacked the shooting site, Black used his dream-eating technique to find it, but then destroyed the shooting equipment when he tried to catch the culprit. Since a misunderstanding had occurred in which she brought only one female {{p|Tepig}} for the Director, but he had requested a female and a male, White was loath to let Black go, since he had a male Tepig, [[Tep]]. White then hastily employed Black without his permission to keep him out of trouble, and since then he became a part of White's talent agency.

==Evidence==
==={{adv|Black & White chapter}}===
* ''[[PS466|An Odd Speech]]''
: When White thanks Black for solving the Galvantula case and lending her Tep, there's a sparkly background that's often used for scenes in anime in which one person focuses romantically on the person with the sparkly background. She then begs Black to stay with her for a few more shoots, since the Tepig pair is so good. She talks about how raising the best Pokémon actors and being the best Pokémon talent agent is her dream, like Black's dream is to conquer the Unova League. Afterwards, Black is silent, then calls his Pokémon to sleep and says he'll think about White's offer. This is the first time he has called her "Boss", and he will do that continuously.

* ''[[PS467|Letting Go]]''
: After White finishes calling back the Director, she starts thinking about Black and what she knows about him so far. As she gets up from a sitting position to follow him and stretches, she suddenly thinks, "How many times did I say his name just now?" and blushes, then sweatdrops, but she shakes it off and remarks that Black is handsome and has a nice, hotblooded personality.

* ''[[PS482|To Make A Musical]]''
: After Black passes out on Route 4, White gets Brav to carry Black to Nimbasa City, meaning she wanted to be the only human to help Black. White told [[Elesa]] all about Black while he was asleep, including the fact that he is "pretty cute".

* ''[[PS474|Defeating Stoutland]]''
: After defeating Lenora, Black is met in the museum by White, who is grinning. White grabs Black's hands and says "I'm so happy!" which caught Black by surprise. Black thinks White is happy for his victory and says "Oh! Aw, shucks. My victory isn't that big a deal..." Whilst Black is saying this, he blushes. When Black finds out that White is happy because Nimbassa City has chosen her project, Black looks peeved.

* ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]''
: White gives Black a box of Castelia Cones although she waited for a long time to get them. When Black asks why, White explains that she has decided to support his dream and while she says this, the background is sparkly. Sparkly backgrounds in the anime usually used for romantic scenes. When Black realizes that he needs items like Potions and Poké Balls, White says that she is willing to pay those expenses for him. White wants Black to wear her company logo on his clothes in the Pokémon League. White then grabs Black's hands and says "I think we'll be a great team!" The sparkly background is there once more and Black blushes.

* ''[[PS479|The Case Of The Missing Pokémon]]''
: While Black is battling Burgh, White decides to stay and watch him when she could have been doing more important things. When Black wins, White says "you actually won?!" which catches Black by surprise. He stammers "B-boss!! What are you doing here?!" like he can't believe she is there when she has more important things to deal with than watch him battle.

* ''[[PS471|Battle At The Dreamyard]]''
: After Black faints and regains consciousness, White seems extremely relieved and is glad that Black regained consciousness.

* ''[[PS480|At Liberty on Liberty Garden]]''
: Apart from Professor Juniper's mission on researching Victini, part of the reason why Black and White visited Liberty Garden Island is because the massage spa manager mistook Black to be White's boyfriend and insisted that they go there together, to which White responds that Black is just her employee.

* ''[[PS486|Unraveling Mysteries]]''
: When Marshal approaches Black with an unconscious White slung over his shoulder, Black becomes extremely angry that his "boss" is slung over his shoulder. Black is also suspicious of the Servine that is following White and wants to protect White from it.

* ''[[PS487|A New Perspective]]''
: When the Mayor of Nimbassa City starts shouting at White, Black puts his arm between them and gets cross at the mayor for having a go at White after her shock.

* ''[[PS488|Growing Pains]]''
: Black still wants to work as White's employee after she has finished the Battle Subway, although it has been a pretty long time. Black also promises to wear the BW Agency logo to the Pokémon League. White looks pleased at this. Black gives White his Braviary, even though it's his Pokémon, to help White defeat the Battle Subway, although he admits that she needed three Pokémon to enter and that Brav didn't want to leave her.

* ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]''
: Iris wonders who it is that could really understand Black. She puts on a smirk, and inquires if the person is President White or his childhood friend, Bianca. Black barks that she has it all wrong, and states that only his Pokemon could really understand him, especially the two who have been with him since the beginning, Musha and Brav. Upon the mentioning of Brav, Iris recalls riding it when they chased down Team Plasma in Castelia, and realizes she hasn't seen it with Black lately. She wonders where it has gone, and Black reveals that he has lent it to White. His answer makes Iris smirk again, and she giggles that it is White who really understands Black after all.

: When Brav and White meet up with Black and Iris, White blushes and remarks that it has been a while since they've last met and thanks Black for lending Brav to her. Black says he's impressed by how she has improved and White shows him the Pokedex she got from Bianca, saying that she is now Black's fellow companion. From the background Iris whistles how sweet their reunion is and they both blush.

* ''[[PS509|Will The Truth Come Out?]]''
: When White promises to help Gigi fulfill her wishes, whatever they may be, N is impressed and tells White that she shares his ideals with his hands on her shoulders. Black is irritated and quickly pulls White away from him and tells N to keep his hands of his boss.

* ''[[PS524|Zekrom VS Reshiram V]]''
: When Black is thrown into Reshiram, and is in the process of being absorbed into the Light Stone, he shows White that he is wearing the BW Agency's logo underneath his jacket, asking if he's paid his debt to her. Before she can answer, Black disappears into the White Stone with Reshiram. Inconsolably, she whispers that Black paid his debt, and reaches out to the Light Stone, before it disappears to parts unknown, as she cries for Black to come back.

==={{adv|Black 2 & White 2 chapter}}===
* ''[[PS542|N Returns]]''
: As White and N fly off on Zekrom with the Light Stone, N points out that he has been following the Light Stone's unwavering flight, until they flew over the Entralink and it changed course drastically, suggesting that it detected White's presence and landed at the Entralink for White to find it. White is startled at the implications and holds up the Light Stone, which develops a visible blush, hinting that Black is inside and responding.

* ''[[PS544|Dream World]]''
: After White enters the Dream World with N, she hears Black shouting nearby about his failure to have Reshiram fuse with Kyurem and fight Kyurem from the inside. They recognize each other's presence, and Black begins awkwardly stammering about his plan with N, briefly mentioning his debt to White before she hugs him tightly from behind to welcome him back while Black blushes. Later, before they leave the Dream World, Black tells White to hold onto his hand; she adapts his usual catchphrase and promises that she'll never let him go again.

'''N Returns''' (Japanese: '''VSママンボウ''' ''VS {{tt|Mamanbou|Alomomola}}'' or '''エヌ・リターンズ''' ''N Returns'') is the 542nd round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
As {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} lands behind her, {{adv|White}} sends out her team to do battle, but quickly realizes from her Pokémon that {{adv|N}} isn't here to fight. N commends White for hearing the voices of her Pokémon and the care she's given them. Distraught, White asks N why only {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}} reverted to its inert state, and N admits he doesn't have an answer; only Zekrom knows why it didn't revert back into the [[Dark Stone]]. As Zekrom scoops up both White and the [[Light Stone]], N explains that Zekrom wants to go to where the Light Stone goes, and together they head in the direction of {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}. White and N go over the history of the three dragons, and N confirms that Kyurem is calling out to the other two dragons to absorb them, to the point where neither Zekrom nor the Light Stone can resist its draw. In addition, [[Ghetsis]] and the revived [[Team Plasma]] intend to use Kyurem's power to freeze over [[Unova]]. White accuses N of seeking to lead Team Plasma as its king once Kyurem fuses with the other dragons, and N declares that he will personally demonstrate that he is no longer under Team Plasma's sway by confronting Ghetsis and Kyurem. N also mentions that while he and Zekrom were pursuing the Light Stone, they watched it abruptly change direction and fly towards the [[Entralink]], as if it sensed White's presence there.

From the [[Plasma Frigate]], Ghetsis, [[Colress]] and the [[Team Plasma Grunt|Team Plasma Grunts]] spot Zekrom flying towards them. Ghetsis decides to face Zekrom, and Colress hands him Kyurem's control device, warning Ghetsis not to go easy on account of his parental bond with N; Ghetsis retorts that he's never thought of N as a son. As Kyurem and Ghetsis are released from the frigate, the two dragons begin clashing in mid-air. N warns White to fly away to safety with the [[Light Stone]], as he and Zekrom will be absorbed if they're defeated. He adds that Reshiram will likely awaken as a result, and asks White to tell {{adv|Black}} to help finish what he started. Fleeing on her {{p|Vullaby}}, White hugs the Light Stone tightly as the two dragons continue to fight.

Finally coming to, {{adv|Blake}} realizes that [[Kelden]] brought him and {{adv|Whitley}} to the [[Abyssal Ruins]], a mysterious underwater structure that has enabled both humans and Pokémon to share thoughts and communicate. Kelden recalls that Blake had handed it an [[Aspear Berry]] in case of an {{t|Ice}} attack, and brought the group to the ruins after hearing the voices of its {{adv|Swords of Justice|its mentors}}. Kelden brings Blake to the frozen bodies of its mentors, admitting that its {{m|Sacred Sword}} wasn't strong enough to break the ice. Blake reasons that the {{t|Fire}}-type {{m|Techno Blast}} of his [[Blake's Genesect|Genesect]] should be able to free them, but pauses as he notices Kelden's hesitation. {{adv|Whitley}} shows up, having been freed from Blake's handcuffs when she came to, and Kelden reveals that Whitley had tried all she could to warm Blake up and rouse him awake. Whitley confirms that the [[Burn Drive]] held by Genesect is highly unstable and risks exploding, and calls Blake out for cruelly putting his Pokémon in harm's way. To Whitley and Kelden's horror, Blake admits that he can't experience emotions and thus, concepts such as "fear" and "sympathy" are foreign to him; to Blake, Techno Blast is simply the best solution they have, and in the event of failure, Genesect can be healed and they can arrive at a different solution.

Kelden realizes that Blake does not care for Pokémon or suppress his emotions in the same way its mentors do, and watches as Blake orders the attack, freeing the Swords of Justice. Before the Burn Drive can explode, {{p|Cobalion}} separates the Drive from Genesect with its Sacred Sword, letting the Drive explode a distance away. {{p|Virizion}} and {{p|Terrakion}} thank Genesect for its role in freeing them, while Cobalion advises Kelden to not waver in its convictions, and to continue trusting and allying with Blake so it can face the "true enemy". Separately, Blake finally gets enough reception to use his laptop, but an error message on his screen confirms that he has been fired from the [[International Police]], and has thus lost all access to the database and his special equipment.

==Major events==
* {{adv|White}} asks {{adv|N}} why only {{p|Reshiram}} reverted to a [[Dragon Stones|stone]], but he is unable to provide her with an answer.
* White and N take off to confront [[Team Plasma]].
* [[Ghetsis]] takes {{p|Kyurem}} to face N.
* Fearing that he might lose, N has White run away while he fights Ghetsis alone.
* {{adv|Blake}} awakens at the [[Abyssal Ruins]], where he meets with [[Kelden]].
* Kelden takes Blake to the frozen bodies of {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}.
* Assuming that since {{m|Techno Blast}} was what froze the three Pokémon to begin with, Blake sends out {{TP|Blake|Genesect}} to free Kelden's mentors.
* {{adv|Whitley}} reveals herself and tells Blake not to use the {{type|Fire}} Techno Blast, as it is dangerous for Genesect to use.
* Blake reveals that he is incapable of feeling or understanding emotions like "fear" or "pity", and thus sees no problem with putting his Pokémon in serious harm, as it could just be healed later.
* Blake has Genesect free Kelden's mentors from their ice prison.
* Cobalion knocks the incomplete [[Burn Drive]] off of Genesect's back, after which it explodes.
* Blake discovers he has been fired from the [[International Police]].

'''Pink Slip''' (Japanese: '''VSメラルバ''' ''VS {{tt|Merlarva|Larvesta}}'' or '''ピンク・スリップ''' ''Pink Slip'') is the 541st round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
Roused awake by his students, {{adv|Cheren}} comes to at the [[Marine Tube]] alongside [[Roxie]]. A new figure shows up, revealed to be [[Benga]] and his {{p|Volcarona}} and {{p|Gabite}}, having brought along firewood to help everyone warm up. Cheren and the students finally recognize Benga as a student at the Pokémon Trainer School who was suspended for picking a fight and starting a highly destructive Pokémon battle against [[Hugh]], [[Leo]] and [[Blake]] on the first day of school. [[Marlon]] shows up, advising Benga against starting fires in the tunnel, and Cheren recognizes that Marlon was recently appointed as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Humilau City]]; in return, Marlon points out that Cheren is in a much better state compared to their [[PS517|previous encounter]]. Benga adds that he had been living with Marlon during his suspension until a day prior, and returned to school to find it deserted as the students had gone to visit [[Castelia City]]. Just before he reached the harbor, Benga witnessed the [[Plasma Frigate]] attack Castelia City with its freeze ray, and rescued Cheren and his classmates with Marlon's help upon recognizing them. Marlon confirms Benga's story and admits that they've been trying to gather people to mount a resistance, but haven't been able to reach anyone else save for [[Iris]]. As Cheren and the others realize that Whitley, Blake, Leo and Hugh are missing, [[Rood]]'s subordinate {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s and a {{a|Illusion|disguised}} {{TP|N|Zorua}} show up to help everyone warm up. [[Yuki]], [[Maya]] and [[Yuko]] wonder if Hugh's accusation of [[Whitley]] is true, but reason that she wouldn't be here helping them if she was truly a bad person. Marlon asks Roxie and Cheren to help them in the resistance, but Cheren insists on confirming the safety of Blake and the others first.

In [[Aspertia City]], [[Looker]] anxiously looks for the [[Magician]], finding the enigmatic man having packed his belongings and equipment, and is about to depart. Looker points out that he's lost track of Blake and thus considered asking the Magician for help, but the Magician explains that Blake has been fired from the [[International Police]] for his actions: namely giving the Magician illegal access to the police's classified database, retrieving [[Blake's Genesect|Genesect]] from storage without permission, and asking the Magician to create additional Drives to use with Genesect's {{m|Techno Blast}}, including a Burn Drive that Blake took with him before it could be safely completed. The Magician adds that the International Police have located his base of operations and he is thus also on the run, but informs Looker that Blake was last sighted at the sea near Castelia, and the Pokémon he'd left behind to fight the [[Shadow Triad]] have all been defeated at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] construction site. At the site, the Shadow Triad look over Blake's defeated team and decide to regroup with the Plasma Frigate at [[Undella Town]].

At [[Fennel]]'s laboratory, the [[Cedric Juniper|Professors]] [[Professor Juniper|Juniper]] listen to a radio broadcast, confirming that [[Lentimas Town]] has also been attacked and frozen over. With 70% of Unova frozen, Cedric assesses that based on what he heard from [[Drayden]], [[Team Plasma]] has likely gained full control over {{p|Kyurem}}. He adds that Drayden hasn't been able to contact any of the other Gym Leaders, including Marlon, Roxie and Cheren. The news brings {{adv|Bianca}} to tears as she admits she would be completely devastated if she lost Cheren after {{adv|Black}}, until [[Amanita]] shows up to inform the group that Fennel has had a breakthrough. Having studied [[Dream Mist]] for two years and collaborating with [[Professor Burnet]], Fennel believes she has located the [[Pokémon Dream World]] and identified a connection between it and the [[Light Stone]], meaning that Black is still alive. She adds that the [[Entralink]] in the middle of [[Unova]] is the place with the strongest connection to the Dream World, and she's already asked {{adv|White}} to go there.

Over the phone, White confirms that she's reached the Entralink. Falling to her knees, she picks up the Light Stone and hugs it tightly, only to flinch as {{adv|N}} and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} arrive from overhead.

==Blurb==
With a dash of determination and courage, Lillie vows to rescue her mother and bring back her friend Nebby! But be strong, Lillie—there seems to be a sinister presence on the horizon…

==Plot==
{{incomplete plot}}
As {{ga|Selene}} and [[Lillie]] approach the [[Altar of the Moone]], Lillie is plagued by self-doubt, recalling [[Lusamine]] and her dismissive question of how she plans to save [[Nebby]]. Lillie remembers moments of her journey: the time her fear held her back from saving Nebby from a {{p|Spearow}} flock, her confrontation with her mother in [[Aether Paradise]], and witnessing Lusamine using up Nebby's power to force open an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to locate and defeat {{p|Necrozma}}. With Selene's guidance, Lillie reaches the top of the altar, and together with Selene plays the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]] to activate the altar. A bright pulse of light erupts from the altar's central platform, prompting Nebby as a {{p|Cosmoem}} to fly into the light, evolving into {{p|Lunala}} as the light fades.

Lillie shares a tender moment with Lunala, pleading with Nebby to take her to where Lusamine is, declaring that she doesn't have to take on Necrozma all by herself. Before Lunala can respond, an Ultra Wormhole opens up above the altar, dropping Lusamine and [[Guzma]] to the ground, severely beaten and injured. Lillie runs over to her mother, and a clearly shaken Lusamine begs for the children to run away, describing Necrozma as a monster that attacked as soon as it was approached. Necrozma tears its way out of the wormhole, and after exchanging a look with Lillie, Nebby soars forth to do battle, exchanging series of devastating attacks with the Prism Pokémon.

Ultimately, after Nebby gets pinned by Necrozma, the latter absorbs Nebby into its body, changing into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings form}}. With all hope lost, Lillie appears about to collapse from fear before noticing Selene brandishing a [[Poké Ball]], ready to battle the new threat. The sight is enough to reaffirm Lillie's convictions as she stands up again, and the episode closes on Lillie's determined expression.


==Major events==
* {{ga|Selene}}, [[Lillie]], and [[Nebby]] arrive at the [[Altar of the Moone]].

'''The Power of Dreams''' (Japanese: '''ゼクロムVSレシラム IV''' ''Zekrom VS Reshiram IV'' or '''英雄''' ''Hero'') is the 523rd round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{Incomplete plot}}
As the [[Elite Four]] chase after {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Tornadus}}, {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}}, and {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Landorus}}, [[Marshal]] leads them in an attack on the three Forces of Nature, sending out their own Pokémon to do battle. Meanwhile, [[Grimsley]] observes [[Colress|Hood Man]] watching on the sidelines; Hood Man notes that the Forces of Nature's emotions have heightened from the intense battle, and produces a mirror from his cloak to force out their "true power".

In Team Plasma's castle, {{adv|Black}} finds that {{adv|N}} and {{TP|N|Zorua}} have fallen asleep, believing the battle between to have ended. As his Pokémon gather around, Black reconciles with [[Musha]], affirming their bond to N. The moment is interrupted by [[Ghetsis]], descending on his {{p|Hydreigon}}, berating N for his actions and referring to N as his adopted son. Ghetsis reveals the nature of his relationship with N to a stunned Black: N was chosen to lead [[Team Plasma]] and unleash {{p|Zekrom}} from the Dark Stone, becoming an ideal leader to subjugate the Pokémon League and convince the citizens of [[Unova]] to release their Pokémon, thus allowing Team Plasma to take full control of the region. Everything had gone according to plan until N decided that, in order to fully assume the role of a hero, he had to defeat Black - the Trainer aligned with {{p|Reshiram}}. Ghetsis mocks N for his idealism and loss to Black, but assures Black that his master plan will continue unimpeded when Ghetsis gets rid of Black, ordering Hydreigon to burn Black to a crisp.

Seeing that Reshiram is exhausted from the battle with N, Black sends in the rest of his team to do battle, but Ghetsis counters Black's team with his {{p|Eelektross}} against [[Brav]] and [[Costa]], {{p|Seismitoad}} against [[Bo]] and {{p|Cofagrigus}} against Musha. With [[Tula]] just as trapped by Hydregion's fire, Black realizes that Ghetsis's Pokémon all have type advantages against his, and Ghetsis confirms that after Black interfered with Team Plasma's plans so often, he built a team specifically to counter Black's. Ghetsis declares that by destroying Black, he'll be able to hide the "inconvenient truth" of N's defeat, and continue to lead Team Plasma as their hero, convincing the rest of Unova's citizens to release their Pokémon until Team Plasma are the only ones with Pokémon on hand. Trapped by the fire, Black exclaims that Ghetsis's ideal is the complete opposite of N's, and Ghetsis admits that N's role was nothing more than a mere front.

Angered by Ghetsis's callousness, Black swears to defeat the sage. Observing that Eelektross is fighting two of his Pokémon, Black calls to Brav to break free, and the Valiant Pokémon barely manages to retaliate. The attempt allows Costa to free Musha from Cofagrigus's clutches, letting Musha eat Black's dreams to discover the source of Hydreigon's fire: a {{p|Volcarona}} hiding in the light of the setting sun. With Brav using {{m|Whirlwind}} to clear out Volcarona's fiery scales, Black orders his Pokémon to switch targets, hitting Ghetsis's team on their weaknesses and knocking them all out. Ghetsis is aghast that even Volcarona fell so quickly, having had it and a {{p|Larvesta}} Egg retrieved from the [[Relic Castle]], but Black orders Costa to imprison Ghetsis in a cage of {{m|Stone Edge}}, declaring the end of Ghetsis's ambitions.

Meanwhile, Hood Man continues observing the Forces of Nature reflected in his mirror, frustrated that they have yet to change forms. He decides that the solution must lie in a [[Reveal Glass| different mirror]]; noticing that Ghetsis has been defeated, he returns the three Legendary Pokémon and bids the Elite Four farewell, beating a hasty retreat. As Black ponders on what to do with Ghetsis, he is greeted by {{adv|White}}, having found her way to the throne room, and the two friends reunite.

[[File:Kimi.png|thumb|150px|Kimi]]
'''Kimi''' (Japanese: '''ヒソカ''' ''Hisoka'') is a character in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. She is [[Drayden]]'s secretary.

==History==
Kimi debuted in ''[[PS503|Tooth and Claw]]'', having arranged for a media event on Drayden's behalf despite her misgivings on Drayden's intentional omission on the event's details. She then appeared during the event itself in ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]'', informing Drayden of another meeting and giving him a pretext to leave the media after announcing the opening of the [[Pokémon League]] in one week. Internally, Drayden admits that bringing the League forward is a gambit meant to force [[Team Plasma]] out of hiding; despite Drayden's gruff demeanor, Kimi points out Drayden's caring side by reminding him that he's also made arrangements to ensure the safety of the spectators.

Following the start of the Pokémon League tournament in ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]'', Kimi witnessed {{adv|Black}} confronting Drayden in a last-ditch attempt to collect enough Badges to qualify, and covered for Drayden and Black as they had an impromptu battle in ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'' while making sure that the opening ceremony proceeded without interruption.

In [[Iris]]'s [[PS516|flashback]], Kimi was shown to have accompanied Drayden on his trip to [[Blackthorn City]], and revealed Drayden's interest in having Iris succeed him as Gym Leader.

Following the reveal and of [[Zinzolin]] at the League in ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Kimi helped Drayden contain the crowd and confirm Zinzolin's arrest. She continued to hold custody of Zinzolin in ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', assuring Black that Drayden and Iris had evacuated all the spectators, but was unable to stop Zinzolin from activating Team Plasma's Castle.

Kimi does not have any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of her own.

[[File:Dozer.png|thumb|250px|Dozer]]
'''Dozer''' (Japanese: '''ゲンバ''' ''Genba'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]''.

Dozer met {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] while they were investigating an outbreak of {{p|Geodude}} at [[Rock Tunnel]], Having witnessed [[Ash's Farfetch'd]] and being impressed with its strength, Dozer challenged Ash in an official [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}, revealing himself as a participant. Ash accepted the challenge for a one-on-one battle, and Dozer used his {{p|Gurdurr}} against Farfetch'd. Following an intense exchange of attacks, Farfetch'd's {{m|Brutal Swing}} was able to smash through Gurdurr's girder. Gurdurr was subsequently knocked out, causing Dozer's ranking to go down. Dozer comforted Gurdurr afterwards, promising to build an even stronger steel beam for it to use and gave it his pickaxe as a temporary replacement. Dozer thanked Ash for the battle, referring to Farfetch'd as a "warrior" and encouraged Ash to train it well as Farfetch'd ran off.

==Character==
Dozer holds a fascination and respect for feats of strength, as demonstrated when meeting Ash and Farfetch'd for the first time and feeling Farfetch'd's muscles after witnessing Farfetch'd smash rocks by itself. During the subsequent battle, he refused to stand down and willingly met Farfetch'd in a battle of strength, pitting Gurdurr against Farfetch'd in a Brutal Swing standoff. Despite his loss, Dozer also showed good sportsmanship, comforting his upset Pokémon, referring to Ash as "brother" and encouraging him following the battle.

Bray Zenn

{{MissingInfo|1|enva}}
[[File:Bray Zenn.png|thumb|250px|Bray Zenn]]
'''Bray Zenn''' (Japanese: '''ガサッツ''' ''Gasattsu'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]''. He works alongside [[Cara Liss]].

Bray first encountered {{Ash}}, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] when they arrived in the [[Wild Area]], having been sent by the [[curator]] of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] to research the [[Fossil Pokémon]] of the [[Galar]] [[region]]. He apologized after his {{p|Mudsdale}} accidentally sent a large rock at them, which nearly hit Chloe and her {{p|Eevee}}.

Bray gave Chloe tools to work with, and she was soon able to find the components of a fossil and put them into a machine. While the group prepared lunch, Bray Zenn ended up taking the whipped cream Chloe intended on using for dessert, creating a Whipped Cream Curry that initially disgusted the others but turned out to be delicious. After the Fossils were restored and turned out to be a {{AP|Dracovish}} and {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt}}, Bray Zenn let Ash and Goh catch them respectively after obtaining enough data on them.

==Character==
Bray Zenn has a spontaneous, carefree personality that causes him to be reckless when around others and act without thinking, and tends not to be concerned about finer details. He has a somewhat peculiar partnership with Cara Liss, being quick in pointing out her incorrect terms, dismissing her attempts to go into detailed explanations and calling out her absent-mindedness, remarking that she's "so careless". They seem to share a friendly partnership regardless, and are just as open to flights of fancy on the Galar fossil Pokémon. Both of them are also quick to shrug off their mistakes or finer details on a whim, such as after mixing up the fossils, and were cordial to Ash and his friends during their visit, allowing them to keep the fossils they restored.

'''Cara Liss''' (Japanese: '''ウカッツ''' ''Ukattsu'') is a mysterious researcher in the [[Galar]] region. She acts as the [[fossil]] reviver for {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==In the games==
Cara Liss can be found on {{rt|6|Galar}} in [[Galar]]. She has a revival machine that can bring [[Fossil Pokémon]] that are found in Galar back to life. She explains to the player that the fossils in Galar are always found in halves. However, whichever top or bottom halves of a fossil the player finds, regardless to how they properly match, Cara Liss still revives the fossils into artificial hybrids.

===Pokémon created===
* {{p|Dracozolt}} ([[Fossilized Bird]] + [[Fossilized Drake]])
* {{p|Arctozolt}} ([[Fossilized Bird]] + [[Fossilized Dino]])
* {{p|Dracovish}} ([[Fossilized Fish]] + [[Fossilized Drake]])
* {{p|Arctovish}} ([[Fossilized Fish]] + [[Fossilized Dino]])

==In the anime==
Cara Liss appeared in ''[[JN050|A Pinch of This, a Pinch of That!]]'', when {{Ash}}, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] met her and her research partner [[Bray Zenn]] in the [[Wild Area]]. The group dug up some Fossils together, which were intended to be restored into a {{p|Dracozolt}} and {{p|Arctovish}}. However, Cara Liss and Bray Zenn mixed up their Fossilized Drake and Fossilized Dino, thus creating a {{AP|Dracovish}} and an {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt}} instead. After getting a satisfying amount of data out of the two Fossil Pokémon, the two researchers let Ash and Goh take the revived Pokémon with them.

==Character==
True to her name, Cara Liss tends to be absent-minded and neglectful of her appearance, wearing mismatched socks and shoes and appearing covered in mud. In the anime, her carelessness led to her showing up late for her meeting with Bray Zenn (owing to failing to set her alarm clock), forgetting to bring her pickaxe for excavation, and bringing chocolate instead of curry roux. Despite this, she demonstrates pride as a researcher and has a tendency to go into details on subjects she's passionate about.

Cara Liss and Bray Zenn share a somewhat peculiar partnership: while Bray Zenn is dismissive of Cara Liss' attention to detail and forgetfulness, she can be equally annoyed by his recklessness and spontaneous lack of interest, calling him "so brazen". They seem to share a friendly partnership regardless, and are just as open to flights of fancy on the Galar fossil Pokémon. Both of them are also quick to shrug off their mistakes or finer details on a whim, such as after their mix-up with the fossils in the anime, and were cordial to Ash and his friends during their visit, allowing them to keep the fossils they restored.

==In the TCG==
[[File:CaraLissShiningFates67.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Cara Liss]]
{{main|Cara Liss (Vivid Voltage 149)}}
'''Cara Liss''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as one of the {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards}}, with artwork by [[Hitoshi Ariga]], available in promotional packs awarded to Japanese participants of Pokémon Card Gym tournaments starting July 2020. It later debuted in English in the {{TCG|Vivid Voltage}} expansion.

Cara Liss allows the player to search their deck for up to two {{TCG ID|Darkness Ablaze|Rare Fossil|167}} cards and put them on their bench.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Cara Liss and the hybrid Pokémon she creates from fossils may be based on early paleontologists who would combine mismatched bones to produce new "discoveries", such as in the {{wp|Bone Wars}}.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is suggested that the [[Pokédex]] entries for the four Pokémon Cara Liss can create are made up by her and others based on their theories of what the species were capable of.

'''Homecoming''' (Japanese: '''ゼクロムVSレシラム III''' ''Zekrom VS Reshiram III'' or '''理想''' ''Ideals'') is the 522nd round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
Watching {{adv|Black}} successfully command Reshiram, Black's allies share a proud moment before continuing their assault on the [[Seven Sages]], who express surprise at the Trainers putting up such a fierce fight. {{tc|Baker}} Chris affirms that their group resists [[Team Plasma]] because they love Pokémon, and {{tc|Hiker}} Andy recalls how Black motivated him to start chasing his dream of competing in the Pokémon League again, justifying the need for Gym Leaders to set an example for him. The others likewise denounce Team Plasma's philosophy of Pokémon liberation, citing Black as the reason for reigniting their dreams.

With her {{p|Patrat}} and their usage of {{m|After You}}, [[Shoko]] gives {{tc|The Riches}} Trish and her {{p|Heatmor}} an opening, using {{m|Flame Burst}} to blast through the Seven Sages. The Patrat rush up to the Gym Leaders and free them from their bindings, shocking the Seven Sages. Freed from captivity, the Gym Leaders join in the battle as {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} gets its second wind and attempts to fly away. Black gives pursuit, only to crash into the [[Elite Four]] as they take on the {{adv|Forces of Nature}}. [[Caitlin]] reveals that she sighted [[Musha]] hovering around the stadium before the League began, and explains it was searching for a power source to evolve and it hadn't abandoned Black due to his dreams changing; she encouraged it to find Black and gave it a [[Moon Stone]] to evolve. She adds that {{adv|N}} and Zekrom have disappeared into the top floor of the castle.

Waking up in N's room, {{adv|White}} is greeted by [[Anthea and Concordia]], who reveal Hood Man had brought her there and explain that the room is where N spent most of his childhood. They add that N released all his Pokémon save for Reshiram, but [[Gigi]] returned to the room instead. The two begin to recount N's history: as a boy, N was ostracized for his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon. Ghetsis adopted N and in the years that followed, forced N to listen to the voices of abused Pokémon to shape his convictions. Once N was convinced that Pokémon needed to be liberated, Ghetsis allowed N to go out into the world to spread Team Plasma's message, but N hadn't accounted for one thing: the "unsolvable puzzle" he encountered when he met Black and heard the voice of his {{p|Tepig}}, which said that he wanted to stay with Black. Eventually, N advised his Pokémon before releasing them: If they ever come across a Trainer they like, it's fine to stay with them. He also encouraged Gigi to make her own choice to pursue battles or performing.

As Black and N tussle in the castle's throne room, Andy's group discovers that the [[Seven Sages]] have slipped away in the chaos. [[Grimsley]] continues to pursue Hood Man, who remarks on Grimsley's reputation of caring only for himself, noting that the dealer appears to show concern for others. Grimsley insists that he's only operating out of self-interest, expressing his annoyance at Team Plasma's underground operations disrupting his card and roulette games. Before his {{p|Bisharp}} can unmask Hood Man, the villain speeds away on a {{p|Genesect|shadow}} that Grimsley is unable to identify. In N's room, Gigi puts on a performance for White, Anthea and Concordia, affirming her decision to pursue show business again. White agrees to sign Gigi up as N's Pokémon before rushing off to find Black.

Despite dealing heavy blows to each other, neither Reshiram nor Zekrom are willing to surrender. Black tries to look for an opening before a second Zekrom makes its appearance. N is likewise surprised as Zekrom growls at its impostor, and the delay proves fatal as Black orders a {{m|Dragon Pulse}} that sends the real Zekrom and N flying back. Shocked at its subterfuge revealed, the fake Zekrom raises its {{a|Illusion}}, and N is shocked to see his {{p|Zorua}}. Black informs N that Zorua returned and tried to support N because it cares deeply for N. N finally comes to an understanding that both Zorua and Gigi willingly came back to him, but gently chides Zorua for disguising itself as Zekrom as the two share a hug.

'''Homecoming''' (Japanese: '''ゼクロムVSレシラム III''' ''Zekrom VS Reshiram III'' or '''理想''' ''Ideals'') is the 522nd round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
Watching {{adv|Black}} successfully command Reshiram, Black's allies share a proud moment before continuing their assault on the [[Seven Sages]], who express surprise at the Trainers putting up such a fierce fight. {{tc|Baker}} Chris affirms that their group resists [[Team Plasma]] because they love Pokémon, and {{tc|Hiker}} Andy recalls how Black motivated him to start chasing his dream of competing in the Pokémon League again, justifying the need for Gym Leaders to set an example for him. The others likewise denounce Team Plasma's philosophy of Pokémon liberation, citing Black as the reason for reigniting their dreams.

With her {{p|Patrat}} and their usage of {{m|After You}}, [[Shoko]] gives {{tc|The Riches}} Trish and her {{p|Heatmor}} an opening, using {{m|Flame Burst}} to blast through the Seven Sages. The Patrat rush up to the Gym Leaders and free them from their bindings, shocking the Seven Sages. Freed from captivity, the Gym Leaders join in the battle as {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} gets its second wind and attempts to fly away. Black gives pursuit, only to crash into the [[Elite Four]] as they take on the {{adv|Forces of Nature}}. [[Caitlin]] reveals that she sighted [[Musha]] hovering around the stadium before the League began, and explains it was searching for a power source to evolve and it hadn't abandoned Black due to his dreams changing; she encouraged it to find Black and gave it a [[Moon Stone]] to evolve. She adds that {{adv|N}} and Zekrom have disappeared into the top floor of the castle.

Waking up in N's room, {{adv|White}} is greeted by [[Anthea and Concordia]], who reveal Hood Man had brought her there and explain that the room is where N spent most of his childhood. They add that N released all his Pokémon save for Reshiram, but [[Gigi]] returned to the room instead. The two begin to recount N's history: as a boy, N was ostracized for his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon. Ghetsis adopted N and in the years that followed, forced N to listen to the voices of abused Pokémon to shape his convictions. Once N was convinced that Pokémon needed to be liberated, Ghetsis allowed N to go out into the world to spread Team Plasma's message, but N hadn't accounted for one thing: the "unsolvable puzzle" he encountered when he met Black and heard the voice of his {{p|Tepig}}, which said that he wanted to stay with Black. Eventually, N advised his Pokémon before releasing them: If they ever come across a Trainer they like, it's fine to stay with them. He also encouraged Gigi to make her own choice to pursue battles or performing.

As Black and N tussle in the castle's throne room, Andy's group discovers that the [[Seven Sages]] have slipped away in the chaos. [[Grimsley]] continues to pursue Hood Man, who remarks on Grimsley's reputation of caring only for himself, noting that the dealer appears to show concern for others. Grimsley insists that he's only operating out of self-interest, expressing his annoyance at Team Plasma's underground operations disrupting his card and roulette games. Before his {{p|Bisharp}} can unmask Hood Man, the villain speeds away on a {{p|Genesect|shadow}} that Grimsley is unable to identify. In N's room, Gigi puts on a performance for White, Anthea and Concordia, affirming her decision to pursue show business again. White agrees to sign Gigi up as N's Pokémon before rushing off to find Black.

Despite dealing heavy blows to each other, neither Reshiram nor Zekrom are willing to surrender. Black tries to look for an opening before a second Zekrom makes its appearance. N is likewise surprised as Zekrom growls at its impostor, and the delay proves fatal as Black orders a {{m|Dragon Pulse}} that sends the real Zekrom and N flying back. Shocked at its subterfuge revealed, the fake Zekrom raises its {{ab|Illusion}}, and N is shocked to see his {{p|Zorua}}. Black informs N that Zorua returned and tried to support N because it cares deeply for N. N finally comes to an understanding that both Zorua and Gigi willingly came back to him, but gently chides Zorua for disguising itself as Zekrom as the two share a hug.
