As we got out of the building, several brainwashed pokemons are lined up straightly in front of a façade. As always, their eyes were bright red and it looks as if they were looking up high at someone. We followed the gaze of the brainwashed Pokemons and saw Ghetsis and Colress. Colress was managing the datas in the machine while Ghetsis watched as Reshiram hovers around him.

"Ah. What a sight. The whole Unova bows before me. Wait, not all..."Ghetsis let out a laugh."Colress, wouldn't it be good if we also brainwashed the people of Unova?"

Wait what? Brainwashing the people of Unova is more than enough. What if Cilan got affected? The people that i've been friends with, rivals or anyone that I had a close relationship with... What if WE got affected? Ghetsis is planning a rather exquisite ambition.

"N we can't let him!"(Y/N) exasperated, stomping her feet at the ground in anger.

"I know. But..."N was remorseful. Well 50% it's actually his fault so I wouldn't mind if he felt guilty about it anyway. What I care about now is that we have to save Unova from massive destruction.

"That would take too much energy."Colress uttered. Still typing informations in his machines.

I then looked down for a moment until a thought flashed through my mind,"I'll break that machine down."

"What?!"N and (Y/N) stared at me in shock.

"Ash, what you're planning is impossible! You can't possibly get passed through that herd of pokemons without you getting caught."(Y/N) muttered in sheer anger.

"I know. But... That's the only way... Unless you have some pokemon with Psychic power or Telekinesis? That can help me fly up there and break that machine that controls the pokemons, and maybe the humans—"I paused.

A sudden static sound was heard that stings our heads."Arghhh!! Is that what I think it is?!"

We covered our ears, the deafening sound of static that still passes through our palms. It's getting through our brains!

"Brainwash!!"N shouted,"keep yourself strong!"

I started seeing a series of black and white circles. The surroundings started to blur. But I have to stay strong! If I won't, this would be the end of Unova.

"Arghhhh!!"The sound of Ghetsis' lamentation was heard from above,"T..This is a bad idea! Stop that thing now Colress!"

"S..Sir! I..I can't!"Colress and Ghetsis was now brainwashed...

But who would be the one to control them?!

The Static sound stopped, and I sighed in relief as I slid a grin on my mouth."Guys! I manage to contain the sound waves!"

I turn to N and (Y/N) who was panting."We almost got there!"

"Those guys!" Our eyes widened in shock as we ran back to Cilan's room.

Serena and Cress' eyes were blank. It was dim and they are expressionless. Cilan's eyes were closed tightly as if he was trying to fight the sound waves... Though it's already gone.

"Cilan!!"I shouted.

Cilan's eyes snapped open. His eyes were normal. He sighed in relief as he saw the three of us normal and not brainwashed.

"Thank goodness you guys are here!"Cilan stared at Serena and Cress who were just sitting at the edge of the table.

(Y/N) ran to Cress as she tried to shake him so he could snap out of it.

"Cilan, We have to check on Chili."I said, sitting beside him.

"Chili.. You're right."Cilan then looked at the wall clock, and the clock says,"7 am"

"Can you walk now Cilan?"I asked, taking his hand.

"No..."He sputtered,"But... I'll try."

Cilan tried to stood up with my guide, he was shaky and his legs were wobbly and imbalanced. But after a few minutes, he finally got used to it. And so, he was back to that happy and energetic Cilan I know.

"It's back to me time!"He shouted in sheer excitement.

"But what about Cress and Serena.."(Y/N) sighed. Cilan and I turned to (Y/N) who was still trying to snap them out of it.

"It's no use until we destroy the machine."N mumbled."I'll stay here to look out for Serena and Cress. Go back to Striaton City, but stay alert. Those brainwashed people will most probably lunged on you and attack you... And... The machine will be hard to destroy."

"Why?"I then placed my bag on my back while Cilan fixed his stuffs.

"The Brainwashed pokemons are guarding the machines, and Reshiram will be your final boss if you try destroying it."N said.

"Well I guess we'll get some help. We'll need yours too if ever."Cilan smiled as he placed a cookie beside Cress,"If he ever snapped out.."

"What if Serena and Cress attack you?.."(Y/N) narrowed her eyes and gripped her shoulder bag tighter.

"If ever they go cuckoo I know how to handle them."N said,"I won't hurt them. Don't worry (Y/N)"

"I'm worried about Cress."(Y/N) mumbled.

"Huh..."Cilan said under his breath in shock.

"Cilan are you okay?"I turned to Cilan who seems surprised as he saw me staring at him.

"Y..yeah, i'm fine."Cilan sighed,"N, we'll be heading on. Please be careful."

"I will, keep safe everyone. Striaton City is still far ahead."N bowed down and sat beside Cress and Serena.

"We will! Thank you!"(Y/N), Cilan and I headed outside to travel back to Striaton City.

The pokemons are wandering around while some of the people are walking expressionless. Like Zombies.

"I am shivering... I can feel my goosebumps all over"Cilan wrapped his arms around his self while (Y/N) was scavenging her bags for lost belongings.

"My Pokéballs are gone... except Victini's.."(Y/N) sighed.

"Pansage and my other pokemons are gone... they must be inside the building.."Cilan looked down.

"Same goes with me..."I tucked my hands inside my pocket and continued walking.

The air was breezy, and it's rather cold. like a Christmas evening... though it's around Spring Season here. Probably the effect of Ghetsis' plans, which mainly harms Nacrene City...

We left Nacrene city, and headed back to the forest... the road that leads back to Striaton City.
