(And we have one more chapter and that's it! This story will be finished! I don't know if we will have Pokemon news, but if we do get news next week, that's just a coincidence! Anyway, I hope the Dex Holders get a chance to meet up again. Enjoy!) 

         Cheren held Bianca's shoulders as they watched N turn himself and Hoopa in. Bianca wanted to stop N, but Cheren held her back.

"Why?! We can't let this happen!" Bianca expressed with worry to Cheren.

"Because we thought of this as a plan" Black answered as he appeared behind them with a determined expression, "Sorry about this. It isn't my best plan, but it should be enough to stop them and save our friends"

His childhood friends turned to him, in either utter disbelief or confusion. Black kneeled before them and opened his bag to give them Full Restores and Revives. They took the items to heal their Pokémon and looked to him, wondering what the plan was. Black explained most of the plan to them. They were surprised and worried that he easily gave up the lamp.

"I'm going to steal the lamp back for Hoopa" Black said as he gestured to Hoopa behind him!

"Why is Hoopa here?!" Bianca exclaimed as he giggled at her reaction.

"Blake mentioned something about Hoopa and the lamp" Black answered, "He was only looking for Hoopa. He never mentioned the lamp. So, I wondered if Hoopa really needs to be near his lamp. I had Hoopa come with me while N took the lamp and had Zorua use his illusions"

Cheren grinned as Bianca sighed in relief.

"So, what is the next phase of your plan?" Cheren asked.

"I need to steal the lamp back and have Hoopa use his powers to restore everything back to normal" Black answered, "I know I already asked a lot from you, but please, help me make take back the lamp!"

Cheren held his hand out with Bianca placing hers on top of his. She grinned as Black smiled at them before placing his hand on theirs.

"Thanks. Now, follow me!" Black said determinedly as they ran into the studio and towards the stage.

The trio entered the theater and hide behind a few seats as they overheard the first member of the Shadow Triad laughing.

"This power is incredible!" he declared as Cheren wondered if Zorua was using his illusions too well.

Black glanced over the seat to see N standing in front of White while their juniors were held or locked in a cage. The lamp was still in the member's hands, but Black was sure he would let go of it. So far, the plan was almost working.

"Cheren, you can help your students. Bianca, please look after White" Black whispered, "Ok, Hoopa, stay hidden and watch over me"

His two friends nodded as Black slowly crawled behind the seats and made his way towards the stage. Cheren and Bianca crawled to their students and White as quietly as they could. The member examined the lamp and raised it to create a lavish, red throne for himself and his fellow members to sit on. He placed the lamp on it as Black peeked over the seat and saw the lamp.

"Ok, there you are" Black whispered as he continued to crawl toward the lamp.

"Now, we have two wishes left" the member spoke to the two others, "What shall we wish for next?"

As they discussed this, Black noticed if he got any closer to the stage, he would be caught. He looked at Hoopa and grinned.

"Create a ring and open it near the lamp" Black whispered as Hoopa giggled softly and created two rings.

One ring in front of them while another one was near the lamp. Black grinned as he reached his hand through the ring and went to grab the lamp. N and White noticed Black's hand coming from the lamp.

"Play along" N whispered to White as she blinked at him.

He stood up, roughly pulled her up, and announced, "I believe I know what you can wish for"

Everyone turned their attention to him.

"N! What are you doing?!" Whitley exclaimed, in worry for her friend and fear for her king.

"Coming to my senses" N answered as White understood and faked struggling in his grasp, "She and her partner interfered with our plans for too long. Your second wish should involve them"

"My king!" the members said in delight as they bowed to him, "We knew you would come back to us! We will happily give you the lamp to make the wish!"

One member turned around as Black almost grabbed the lamp and gasped.

"Uh, hi?" he said with a wave.

"Get him!" the member shouted as he snatched the lamp.

The two members jumped after Black as he pulled his hand back and let Hoopa close the portal. They ran the other way as White pulled herself away from N to grab the lamp.

"Give it back!" White shouted as she struggled to pull the lamp out his hands.

The member glared as N rushed to help her. The member used the lamp to unleash a powerful wave of energy to blast N back and trap White in an hourglass! Sand was pouring on her as she looked up with concern. Black froze as he saw her captured. He turned his attention to her and charged!

He extended his hand as he yelled in a determined yet worried tone, "WHITE!"

She turned to him, surprised to hear her name, and slammed her fists against the glass. She was not going to give up. N picked himself up and groaned in pain. He saw Black avoiding the two members while the first one was looking at White. Cheren and Bianca tossed out Snivy and Oshawott towards the cage holding their students.

"Vine whip!/Razor Shell!" they shouted as their Pokémon worked together to cut down the psychic bars to free them.

Blake rushed out of the cage first, jumped off the stage, and threw a belt holding all of Black's Pokémon.

"Senior Black!" Blake yelled as he gained his attention.

Black grinned at the site of his Pokémon as Hoopa opened a ring to catch the belt and have it land safely in Black's hands. Black grabbed Nana's pokeball and Bo's to toss both out.

"Bo! Heat Crash! Nana! Get me to White!" Black ordered as he jumped on Nana's back.

The Mightyena carried his trainer to the hourglass just as Bo jumped with fire covering him. The giant, flaming pig crashed before the two members! They barely got away, but it was enough for Black to rush to the hourglass.

"Nana! Use Take Down!" Black shouted as he jumped off the hyena who lowered her head and ran at full speed.

Black rolled on the ground as he looked up to see Nana smash the hourglass holding White! She crawled out of the sand and made sure to avoid the shards of glass. Black cheered as he ran up to her. He kneeled before her to check and make sure she wasn't harmed.

"Oh, Black!" she said in relief as she hugged him warmly, "Thank you!"

He was surprised as he fell a bit, but he made sure his hands were on her waist and holding her close. He blushed as he held her with relief flowing through him. As for White, she was so happy. Black came for her, said her name, and was still here. This was perfect. Their friends could only smile at the couple, happy for them to be together again.

"No, we cannot fail again!" the first member of the Shadow Triad stated as he gripped the lamp in his hands, "I still have another wish left! I will grant it! I will stop you!"

Black and White turned to him, tense. He raised the lamp above his head. Purple mist gathered around the lamp, forming a dark cloud above him. He only grinned as he was ready to make his wish.
