I can't wait! Today I'm heading over to the legendary Dragonspiral Tower to find the friend I need to make my ideals reality. Reshiram, the famed Dragon Pokemon of fire. Alicia's coming with me (of course.)

Here she comes to pick me up. "Hi," I say to her. "You look pretty. My dad let anda wear your hair in a braid?"

"Yeah. He thinks it looks pretty too. I could tell. He'd never admit it, though."

"Well, Ghetsis is Ghetsis."

She giggles (again!) and says, "Come on, N. Time to go. Maybe Black will be there and you'll get to rematch him again!"

I perk up (even though I was lebih than perky enough already) at the thought of seeing Black there and then I remember my self-promise not to battle him again until he discovers the castle.

"Yeah. Let's go." I get on my bike and Alicia gets on hers (not really hers, I have two) and we zoom off to the tower.

~At Dragonspiral Tower...~

Okay, where's Reshiram?

"Reshiram? Where are you? I need your help, Reshie. Wanna be friends?" I call out. No answer.

Alicia gives me her "We're on the first floor and it's on the roof. Use your head." looks and I look at the ground sheepishly. She reaches into her bag and pulls out some Pokemon food. "It might be hungry," she says.

We race up to the roof and there it is... Reshiram. "It's so pretty. Kinda like you..." I say to Alicia, blushing. It walks toward me and I can hear it talking. I tell it with my hati, tengah-tengah my ideal world, a world with free Pokemon. It nods and turns around as if to say, "Hop on."

"Well, let's go," I say to them.

I catch a brief glimpse of Black just as I leave.
