Poke?on Black and White / Kusaka, Hidenori

Bianca finally discovers her dream while helping a musician and a Poke?on. And a flashback tells the story of Black's first Poke?on capture.

"Poke?on Keldeo learns something surprising! Meanwhile, the Poke?on League is under attack by Team Plasma and...their castle?! Who will drive Team Plasma out--not to mention rescue all the kidnapped Gym Leaders? Not Black...because now that he's awakened Reshiram, he's got another battle to fight!"--Back cover.

"In his next Poke?on League battle, Black fights his young friend Iris and discovers he has underestimated her skills! Then, Black is shocked to discover that his friend Cheren is mistreating his fans-- and even his own Poke?on! How can Black set his childhood friend straight?"--Back cover.

"How can Black convince a group of embittered Poke?on to trust people again? And how can Trainer Alder convince Team Plasma leader N that the Poke?on League exemplifies the powerful bond between Poke?on and their Trainers?"--Back cover.

Following their fierce battle, Gym Leader Clay reveals a dangerous secret to Black, leaving Black determined to join the Unova Gym Leaders in their battle against an evil organization that threatens the entire Poke?on League Championship, but first he must prove himself.

Poke?on trainer Black finds crossing a drawbridge difficult when something or someone keeps sabotaging him, and then he is reunited with an old friend, but not under the best circumstances. Plus, while testing the Battle Subway, a Poke?on battleground prototype, White finds a strange woman on board.
