Pokemon Black and White Rebirth: Chapter 5.2

Pokemon Black and White Rebirth

Chapter 5.2: Put our service to the test.

Team Plasma HQ

Underground Unova’s earth was a white, giant, multi leveled, lavish castle, made of the purest, richest ivory, and mixed in with solid gold. The floor was made out of pure black pear tile. The walls were bannered with the Plasma symbol. The many rooms had statues of birds, paintings, and computers. The Plasma Grunts were running around, patrolling for intruders, guarding prisoners, or training to hone their skills. The scientists were running tests, writing down notes, and helping in experiments. Pawns, sages, scientists, and Pokemon worked as one in the castle. At the heart of this fortress, was a long hallway leading to a throne room, surrounded by pools of water. The seat of power, however, was empty. Ghetsis knew this, and where to find the king.

N was in his room, a room that looked like a child’s, rather than for a king of terrorists. Toys on the floor, a basketball hoop to the side, a skateboard ramp next to his bedside. The long green haired boy was dribbling the basketball on the floor. The head sage opened the door to this room. N was trying to make a basket, but was failing.

“N my son, why are you troubled?” Ghetsis asked, noticing N hadn’t been the same since he had lost that battle the other day.

The two humans that defeated him. Their determined faces, and how the Pokemon had fought for them, was still in his mind. The words they spoke played into his mind.

“Team Plasma is a force of justice for Pokemon, yes? We are protecting Pokemon from the trainers that abuse, and enslave them, and I am the hero of Unova that will unite the dragon?” N asked, for the first time unsure of himself.

The Sage put his hand on the boy’s shoulder, and gave him a friendly smile,

“Of course you are, you can truly understand the hearts of Pokemon, and are the leader that shall bring us to glory.” Ghetsis assured him.

“Then why did my friends lose, why did those trainers act like I was the villain? Why did that Purloin attacked you? Why did that Axew call the human girl its mother?” N asked confused.

Ghetsis shook his head.

“N, my son, those trainers have brainwashed their Pokemon. The Oshawott, the Pikachu, the Purlion, and even the young Axew. However…it seems that they themselves have been brainwashed.” Ghetsis stated.

N’s eyes went slightly wide at this, but it assured the feeling that he had.

“…Then, might we be able to liberate their Pokemon, and bring them, to our cause?” N asked.

Ghetsis gave some thought to the idea.

“Well…it is possible, if not difficult. Why do you ask? You rarely care for our human members.” Ghetsis mused.

“They are strong, we need strong members, and their Pokemon could be used to save other Pokemon.” N reasoned.

“Well if anyone can do it, it would be the Hero of Unova. That battle was a fluke, out of sheer luck. Next time anyone gets in your way, you will crush them. You are morally higher, since you know the truth! Believe in your ideals, and become the hero, that you are destined to be.” Ghetsis proclaimed, slowly raising N’s resolve and spirit.

N then made a shot in the basket. Ghetsis was about to take his leave, seeing his work was done.

“…Thank you…Father.” N said in a quiet voice.

The man gave the teenager a small smile.

“Oh course, my king.” He said before shutting the door.

Ghetsis walked further away from N’s private room. He could see three small flickers of darkness surround him. In that flash appeared three long white haired humans, covered in black. Their mouths were covered and there were tattoos on their arms that looked rather ninja like.

“Shadow Triad.” Ghetsis stated.

“My lord, what is your will?” The three asked, synced in union.

“Those two children that defeated our King. I want you to find them, spy on them, and report back any useful information to me. You are to remain hidden.” He ordered.

“As you command Lord Ghetsis.” They stated before vanishing into thin air.

“Now to check on our Project Genesect’s progress, and my two daughters.” Ghestsis thought to himself while walking away, a satisfied look on his face. Things would soon come to together.


Back in the Striaton City Gym, our heroes were now starting to eat. Pikachu, Axew, Pidove, Purloin, Oshawott, Tepig, Pignite, and Lillipup were chowing down on the finest Pokemon food, and berries.

Their trainers were well fed as well. Bianca was enjoying some pancakes, with some eggs and Torchic bacon. Ash was stuffing his mouth with a burger and fries. Iris was loving some tri-tip with a side of fries of her own.

“Oh this is so good!” Bianca squealed in bliss.

“YMM TIS SS GRET!” Ash agreed with burger in his mouth.

“Ash, don’t be a little kid, and talk with your mouth full” Iris muttered, a bit annoyed with her friend’s table manners, while munching on a few fries.

“Wow taught wou ow to eat? No table manners.” Iris asked while putting more fries in her mouth. “I mean really.” Iris kept talking with food in her mouth.

“Oh wow, you can battle people here.” Bianca pointed out looking to find, waiters and waitresses were battling with a few trainers.

“Good food, battling, and pretty girls. I think I’ve died and gone to Heaven.” Ash thought to himself, while gazing back at the maid girls. He then quickly looked away, seeing a slightly irritated Iris.

“Okay, I need to stop before I turn into Brock.” He thought to himself while taking another bite of his burger.

The three then noticed the lights dim and a large light showed a red curtain. It was pulled open for everyone to see three trainers and their Pokemon. They were dressed sharply, in the standard, black and white waiter uniform, however it seemed they had their own aura of style. The triplets each had matching colored hair, cool bow ties, and even their eyes. The green haired young man had his in a slight spike style. The blue haired one’s was long, slightly braided, and it was covering one of his blue eyes. The last one, the red head, made Iris think that his hair was on fire.

“Visitors of our fine gym. We are Cilan, Cress, and Chili: The fantastic Striaton Triplets.” Cilan stated giving a slight bow. Ash and Iris could hear the many women, and young girls, fawning over the three of them.

“We single handily cooked the meals you eat now, quick and without flaws.” Cress boasted.

“And on this stage we are gonna have a hot blooded battle that boils the soul! Come on up!” Chill roared with energy.

“They’re so dreamy.” Bianca gushed.

“Yeah, if you like frilly, whimsy, pretty boys.” Iris snarked.

“Or arrogant, loud mouths.” Ash snickered while the two laughed together, and gave a quick high five.

“Don’t be mean.” Bianca pouted.

“Who here wants a Gym Badge huh?! Who here’s got the Ultra Balls to take us huh?!” Chili yelled.

“Do you have to be so loud?!” Cress hissed.

“Don’t put pressure on them, Chili it’s bad manners, and Cress he’s just energetic is all.” Cilan spoke trying to keep the peace.

Purloin’s ears flickered and she looked up to find the three flamboyant Gym Leaders, recognizing them.

“They could be helpful.” Purloin thought to herself. She quickly slammed her head on her trainer’s leg. This made him yelp and jump up, causing a fuss with Iris and Bianca. Pikachu did the same out of shock.

“Ah, a challenger at last.” The Mint haired butler looking Gym Leader said as Ash looked around to find many people were looking at him. A few other trainers wanted to fight, but it wasn’t to be.

“Um…hold on. Can we finish our lunch first?” Ash asked.

“Oh, yes of course.” Cilan politely said as they started to eat their lunches. After all he wanted everyone to get their fill.

They could see another challenger take Ash’s place, a boy about Bianca’s age. His short black hair had a slight upward curl. A pair of glasses covered his stone black eyes. He wore a light blue jacket, while underneath it, was a white t shirt with a red y pattern. This trainer pulled out a Poke Ball from his black pants pocket, and unleashed a green snake looking Pokemon with arms and legs onto his shoulder. His red eyes glowed, with respect and dignity, while keeping his long pointed nose up in the air. Oshawott and Bianca’s Pignite recognized that smug smirk, the signature expression of their old friend Snivy. Bianca felt her heart beat faster, and faster, unable to keep her eyes off of him. Ash thought he reminded him of his Sinnoh rival Paul. Hopefully he treated his Pokemon better. Iris was ready to see the show as the rookie trainer slowly made his way to the stage of the three Gym Leaders, and Chili was the one to step forward.

“So Snivy’s your starter huh? Tell me your name kid.” Chili requested.

“Cheren, now let’s cut the chit chat, and battle.” He said coolly.

“Oh my gosh, he sounds so cool.” Bianca thought to herself, feeling rather hot.

“What’s your Pokemon. It’s a one on one fight with me, or you can take all of us for the badge.” Chili explained.

Cheren, with a nod, had Snivy come down to the battlefield.

“You’ll be fine, get your Pokemon out. Let’s go.” He boldly proclaimed.

Chili looked like fire was about to burst out of his chest, the man pumped his fist in the air.

“Alright, that’s what I like to hear, but your gonna need to spice it up before taking me on!” Chili screamed as he threw his Poke Ball. It unleashed a small monkey like Pokemon, with red legs, a red tail, and a fireball like hair style on top of his head, and large ears.

“What Pokemon is that?” Ash asked, as he, Bianca, and Cheren looked it up in their Pokedexes.

“Pansear, Fire type …CRAP!” Cheren yelled as his glasses went slightly crooked, and his air of confidence had vanished.

“Wasn’t the hair, and the same colored bow ties a bit obvious?” Iris asked, as Axew climbed onto her lap.

“Alright Snivy, let’s see yo bitch ass, get to work.” Oshawott thought looking at the battle along with Ash, and the other Pokemon.

“COME ON SNIVY, LET BEAT THIS GUY!!” The boy with glasses yelled getting back into his bravo.

“NOW YOUR GETTING IT! PANSEAR FIRE BURST!” The passionate Gym Leader commanded as Pansear shot out a tiny, fast shot of fire.

“Snivy get out of the way!” Cheren ordered.

Snivy showed he had some very good speed, quickly dodging the attacks.

“Now use Vine Whip, on Pansear’s neck!” Cheren commanded, hoping to end this quickly.

Snivy then had two green vines come out of his body, and try to wrap around the fire monkey.

“Pansear, Flame Burst on the Vine Whips!” Chili ordered.

The Pansear shot out another Flame Burst, and much to both Snivy’s, and Cheren’s, displeasure and terror the Vine Whips were caught on fire, and soon the rest of Snivy’s body. This caused the Pokemon to cry out in pain, while rolling on the ground, as his trainer quickly left the battlefield and took a pitcher of water from one of the waiters. He came back and threw it on his Grass type. The poor guy sadly fainted. Bianca wanted to cry, while Ash’s Oshawott was laughing his head off. Pignite then smacked him upside the head for a being a jerk. Iris shook her head, slightly disappointed, but glad the Snviy was okay.

“Your gonna need a lot of training, and you might want to catch some more Pokemon. Come again when you and your Pokemon are stronger.” Chili stated.

Cheren growled, while picking up his Pokemon.

“I’m sorry.” Ash and Iris heard Snivy mutter.

Cheren just looked at him.

“No, I wasn’t ready, next time we will be.” He promised his Pokemon. Ash was more than happy to see him care about Snivy.

“Thank you for the match.” He said gritting his teeth before leaving.

“CHILI!!” The maids and fangirls screamed and gushed, while giving Chili a flashy grin, causing both Ash, and Iris, to groan.

Cheren slowly walked away, defeated and slightly frustrated. Ash got up to take his place, having finished his food. His Pokemon, Iris, and Bianca followed him.

“Um…hi. I thought you were pretty cool, and you lasted much longer then I would have.” Bianca said while getting very close to the guy, Iris and Axew noted her face was turning beat red.

“Thanks…I guess…um…” Cheren asked not knowing the girl’s name.

“Bianca, I’m Bianca, I hope Snivy gets better soon.” She said while rolling her hands around each other.

“Thank you, I’m Cheren.” He introduced himself.

Iris then looked at the rookie

“Hey, some advice, stay away from a group of people that look like knights. They call themselves Team Plasma, and they’ll take your Pokemon.” Iris warned.

Cheren’s eyes widened a bit, and he slowly nodded.

“Thanks for the advice.” He thanked her before walking out the door. The two girls then turned to the match.

Ash, Pikachu, Pidove, Purloin, Oshawott, and Tepig were now on the battlefield and across from them were the triplets.

“So, which Pokemon is your starter?” Cress asked.

Pikachu stood up, ready to fight.

“A Pikachu is your starter?” All three of the triplets asked in confusion.

“Yeah is that a problem?” Ash asked, an eyebrow rising up.

The three huddled up, and whispered. Ash and Pikachu looked around to find they were receiving angry stares from the waitresses. They were even pulling out very big steak knives, making Ash feel, very, very uncomfortable, and he made sure their backs weren’t in their range. He fought the flashbacks playing in his head.

“I hope he chokes.” Bianca and Iris heard one of the short maids whisper.

“I bet he goes down faster that that four eyed nerd.” Another maid ironically with glasses of her own said.

“No one beats up my Cilan and lives.” A third, very skinny, maid declared

“Go back to Kanto!” a fourth maid, with a large nose, yelled where Ash could hear it, which made things a lot worse for him.

“Go jump off a cliff!” A larger maid screamed.

“Great, now we have hecklers.” Pikachu muttered.

“Can I poop on them?” Pidove asked.

“Not yet.” Pikachu waved.

“I miss Dawn, and her cute cheerleader outfit.” Ash thought to himself thinking of Dawn cheering for him, and how he cheered for her in her contests. Right now he was feeling no love.

Iris could see Bianca wanting to say something, but the death glares were preventing her. Iris was getting really annoyed, ante angry. What was up with these crazy girls? They had no right to treat Ash like this or scare Bianca.

“Okay, put the knives away little girls, before you get hurt.” Iris warned while cracking her knuckles. Axew started growling, not liking the other girls.

“Like, who are you jungle girl?” One maid asked.

“Ash, don’t be a little kid! Focus on the match! I’ll handle these little brats.” Iris said, while giving him a smile, and thumbs up.

“Okay.” Ash muttered, with a smile. Her smiling made him feel a bit better.

“Um who are you, to call us brats?” The first maid repeated while getting a little steamed.

“We happen to be the triplets’ number one fans.” The maid declared with pride

“I’m Iris, the Dragon Master, and I don’t care who you say you are. You act like little brats when you insult, and scare my friends, and for that you shall be punished!” Iris declared.

Soon the maids pulled out their Pokemon. Iris, however, got fire in her eyes, as Axew prepared for battle.

Bianca, Lillipup, and Pignite weren’t sure which fight to watch.

Ash and Pikachu turned to the triplets.

“Normally you would be facing one of us, who would have the type advantage, but since your Pikachu is an electric type. We shall allow you to pick one of us for the badge.” Cilan explained.

“Or you could man up, and take all three of us.” Chili instigated.

“Choose wisely, young trainer, for you might bite more than you can chew.” Cress warned.

Ash and Pikachu looked at everyone else. Tepig wasn’t sure, Pidove and Oshawott looked ready to go, and Purloin just Cheshire cat grinned. They turned to the triplets again.

“Well I have a big mouth, so I’ll take all three of you!” Ash declared.

End of chapter.
