"Zekrom, and those Genesect."
Alder narrowed his eyes. He looked seriously at these few Pokémon. All of them had very strong energy.
He expected Zekrom. But those Genesect were a big surprise.
Officer Jenny from Nimbasa City told him about them. She said these Genesect were old Pokémon. Colress brought them back to life and changed them. Their strength was very great.
He did not expect that many of them were back.
"It is okay, Champion Alder. We can handle these Genesect. Then, let Leon and Gym Leader Giovanni fight N and Zekrom."
Wallace spoke and gave a plan to Alder.
If Leon and the others could not beat Zekrom, they could still use Gym Leader Giovanni's best Pokémon. They could use Groudon!
"That is right. There will be no accidents in this battle."
Cynthia agreed fully. There was no way a mistake could happen in today's fight.
After all, Team Plasma wasn't like Team Rocket. Team Rocket had many executives and someone like Damian.
The pair of N and Zekrom was hard to handle. But it was not an impossible job.
"Alright. Then I will leave it to all of you," Alder said.
There were also elite Team Plasma members with Ghetsis. The police and the Unova Elite Four could finish them.
Once everyone knew who to fight, they started to move.
"Four Champion-level trainers?"
Ghetsis looked at the four people across from him. These were Alder, Cynthia, Steven, and Wallace.
They were all Champions from different regions.
A cold and dark smile appeared on Ghetsis's face. He was not afraid at all.
"For an evil person with such bad taste like you, I really do not want to give you an elegant ending."
Wallace was not happy. He really did not like Ghetsis. This man seemed full of greed.
He was even more annoying than Damian.
"Heh... A person like you who looks like a girl, what right do you have to talk about my taste?"
Ghetsis laughed in a mean way. This made Wallace's eyes open wide right away.
"You... you guy!!"
Wallace was angry. He was really angry!
He was such a handsome artist. This bad person actually called him a girl!
This was bad! In his whole life, nobody had insulted him like this!
"Steven, Cynthia, do not stop me later! I must teach this guy a real lesson!"
Wallace decided to show his real skills.
"Just with you?"
Ghetsis did not care. Four Champions were not a problem. His Genesect were enough to fight them!
"You will regret this! Team Plasma!"
Wallace's eyes became cold. He had to show this guy the "Phantom Dance of Water."
------------
Charizard and Beedrill changed with the light of Mega Evolution. Mega Charizard X and Mega Beedrill appeared.
"Is this Mega Evolution?"
N looked at the two Pokémon. They were very strong. A feeling appeared in his tired eyes.
"That is right. N, I have learned about you from Alder," Leon said with a serious voice.
"The goal of Team Plasma is to free Pokémon from humans. But is it right to take Pokémon if you do not care what they want?"
Leon looked into N's eyes. They did not have any light.
He was the King of Team Plasma. But anyone could see that Ghetsis controlled the team. This hero chosen by Zekrom was just a puppet for the group.
Ghetsis needed to use his power and his name as the Hero of Ideals.
"..."
N did not say anything.
"It is like Mega Evolution. You need a Mega Stone and a Key Stone. But you also need a strong bond between the trainer and the Pokémon to win. If you do not, the Pokémon will lose control because of the power."
Leon kept speaking.
"In the world today, humans and Pokémon are one group. This is the best way for this beautiful world. Separating Pokémon and humans is not possible. Also, it would make the world a big mess."
Giovanni spoke with a strong voice.
N: "..."
N looked at these two strong trainers. He bit his lip. His tired eyes became darker.
It did not matter who it was. Everyone said his dreams were wrong. Why?
Could his dreams really be wrong?
"Ghetsis lied to you. He is trying to use your power for his own big plans," Giovanni said.
"Father is not that kind of person."
N finally spoke and shook his head.
"My dream... is for Pokémon to find real happiness. My dream... is not wrong."
A light slowly appeared in N's eyes. He looked at the two Champions with a calm look.
"Zekrom!"
"Roar—!"
Zekrom's roar sounded out. The body of the Zekrom looked like black stone. It floated up. Thunder and lightning moved on its body.
The clouds in the sky made noise. A big bolt of lightning hit the ground.
It was the Electric-type move, Thunder!
"Protect!"
Mega Beedrill moved very fast to the area above Mega Charizard X. A green Protect wall appeared.
BOOM!
The Thunder hit the Protect wall. The bright light of the lightning made the sky bright. The power of that Thunder was very strong!
But the green light in the lightning stayed strong.
"It seems words cannot fix your wrong thoughts."
Leon's face became serious.
"Gym Leader Giovanni, I will fight Zekrom. You go and catch N. What do you think?"
Leon took out another Poké Ball and opened it. A Dragapult appeared in front of him.
"Fine," Giovanni nodded.
Actually, Giovanni really wanted to throw Groudon out. He wanted to use Primal Reversion and stop Zekrom. He wanted to feel the excitement of using a legendary Pokémon in battle.
He saw Damian show off a lot. So, Giovanni wanted to try it too.
But Leon and the others felt Groudon should be a secret. Groudon already liked Giovanni. They should keep it as a secret weapon. They did not need to show it so early.
Maybe there were Team Rocket spies near them. Giovanni had to agree.
"Do you think Zekrom is weak?"
Leon wanted to fight Zekrom alone. N looked calm.
His Zekrom lost to Primal Kyogre before. But that was Primal Kyogre!
N thought one Champion could not beat Zekrom!
N believed that. But in the fight, Leon really stopped Zekrom.
Zekrom was strong. But Leon was a very good Champion. His Charizard was even stronger because of Mega Evolution.
He was very powerful. If his whole main team fought together, Zekrom might lose to Leon.
In the past, Leon used his team to fight Eternatus when it was very strong.
On the other side was N.
N fought Giovanni's Mega Beedrill and his Nidoking. N had a very hard time.
His Klinklang and Archeops could not fight anymore.
Giovanni looked at Klinklang. It was having trouble with Mega Beedrill. Then he looked at N.
He was acting as a League Gym Leader now. If he was not, he could beat a young person like N in many ways.
The easiest way was to make Beedrill go forward. It could put its lance against N's neck.
This was not a real match. Catching the trainer is the easiest way to finish a battle.
But League trainers are usually fair. They follow the rules of fighting unless the other person does not.
Of course, Giovanni did not care about that.
Without Zekrom, N could not beat him. And now, Leon kept Zekrom busy. Zekrom could not leave the fight.
Giovanni thought this battle was easier than they planned. If they caught N, Team Plasma would stop being a problem.
And then...
"Gym Leader Giovanni! Save me, Gym Leader Giovanni!"
Someone cried for help. Giovanni stopped. He looked over. He saw a red Pokémon moving very fast.
Wallace was being taken by it. He was crying loudly.
It was the Shiny Genesect.
"Wallace!"
Steven and the others looked worried. They did not know the Shiny Genesect was so fast.
Very quickly, the Shiny Genesect took Wallace.
It used the move, Extreme Speed!!
Well, this was...
Giovanni's eyes looked strange. But he moved fast.
"Beedrill."
Mega Beedrill stopped and looked at the Shiny Genesect. It attacked with high speed.
But Mega Beedrill could not catch the Shiny Genesect. Extreme Speed was too fast.
Extreme Speed was very fast.
Soon, the Shiny Genesect went to Ghetsis. It put Wallace down. It had been carrying him like a princess.
Wallace looked at Ghetsis angrily. But the Shiny Genesect was there. He was afraid to move.
He looked weak and sad.
The situation was a bit strange.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Ghetsis looked at Wallace. He laughed in a very loud way.
"Tsk tsk~ Wallace has been captured again."
Damian was on a hill far away. He looked surprised.
He came to watch the fight between Team Plasma and the Unova League.
He did not expect Wallace to be caught again. Did his body always get captured?
He got caught in every fight. It was amazing.
"A Shiny Genesect that knows Extreme Speed. Tsk~ It is the one from the movie."
Damian looked at the red Shiny Genesect. This was the leader of the Genesect group.
Usually, Genesect do not know Extreme Speed. Only the special one from the movie knows it. That one fought Mega Mewtwo Y.
The game makers gave this special Shiny Genesect to players before. It knew Extreme Speed. It also knew the Steel-type move, Shift Gear.
Normal Genesect cannot learn the move Shift Gear.
Damian was interested in this Shiny Genesect.
"Ghetsis, stop fighting. Let Wallace go. Maybe you can get a smaller punishment," Alder said with a deep voice.
They were not careful, and they lost Wallace. He did not expect that.
"I told you. Do you think you can catch us with your group?"
Ghetsis laughed in a cold way. He looked at Alder and the others. He felt proud.
"Now I have this guy who looks like a girl. What will you do?"
Ghetsis prepared to win now.
In the fight, the two normal Genesect were losing to Steven and Cynthia's best Pokémon.
But the Shiny Genesect was very strong! Even Wallace and Alder together could not beat the Shiny Genesect.
That is why the Shiny Genesect caught Wallace.
This man is too proud.
Giovanni narrowed his eyes. He opened a Poké Ball behind his back in secret.
To tell the truth, Giovanni felt the League would fall apart without him.
They were winning, but Wallace still got taken. It ruined the good start.
Even if he was not a spy, this group could never beat Damian.
