Two years have passed since Team Plasma was defeated and Trainer Black was sucked into the Light Stone along with Legendary Pokémon Reshiram… Now Team Plasma is back to its wicked ways, controlling other people's Pokémon and even wild Pokémon with technology. Luckily, a new young hero and Looker of the International Police are on their trail…
Whitley is beginning to have feelings for Inspector Blake, but it seems all he cares about is figuring out if she is a Team Plasma spy planted at their school. A chorus tournament in Castlia City strikes some sour notes when the Seven Sages crash the event. And then, who will save Legendary Pokémon Kyurem from Team Plasma…?[6]
The Story Thus Far, Tenth Chapter[]
Summary of events so far
The Unova region. Two years have passed since the notorius Team Plasma attack on the Pokémon League. The citizens of the Unova region are still recovering when young investigator, Blake of the International Police arrives in Aspertia City. He has assumed another identity to enroll at the Trainers' School for two reasons: first, to arrest the Seven Sages, the Team Plasma executives who have scattered all over the region; second, to retrieve the memory card hidden by the opposition group within Team Plasma.
Blake deduced that a new transfer student, Whitley, might possess the memory card in question, so he approaches her whenever an opportunity presents itself at school events. Meanwhile, the leader of the New Team Plasma, Colress, searches for Zinzolin in order to capture the Dragon- and Ice-type Legendary Pokémon Kyurem…[2]

Message from Hidenori Kusaka[]
Students, teachers, classmates, classes, special events, romance… School is a place filled with all sorts of excitement. That's why TV dramas and manga set in school have become a classic genre and are always popular. And so, I decided to challenge myself by trying my hand at creating "Pokémon Adventures'" first school-based arc. I apologize for keeping you waiting so long, but finally a new semester at the Pokémon Trainers' School has begun!![6]
Message from Satoshi Yamamoto[]
The first time I played "Pokémon White". I noticed that when I talked to the nonplayer townsfolk, they often said things like, " I think I'm doing very well with my Pokémon," as if they were trying to convince themselves I felt a bit of peer pressure, which made me more intimidated by the ordinary townspeople than the evil Team Plasma members. When I draw Whitley, I try to remember that.[6]
