POKÉMON
ADVENTURES: BLACK 2 & WHITE 2 delivers a brand new adventure
featuring readers’ favorite Pokémon game characters that jump out of the
screen and onto the pages of this latest action-packed manga series!
“Get
ready for tons of action and fun new characters and Pokémon in this
special three-volume story arc,” says Annette Roman, Editor. “New
adventures of Pokémon Trainers Blake and Whitley continue in this
exciting series set after the dramatic events of Pokémon Black & White. We know fans of all ages will not want to miss this fresh story arc set in a Pokémon Trainers’ School!”
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.
Colress,
the new leader of Team Plasma, is attacking the Unova region. His
machines control Pokémon, wielding their powers for evil instead of
good. Fortunately, a way to jam the signals is stored on a memory card.
But who has the card…? A girl at the Pokémon Trainers’ School! Maybe
that’s why our hero is such a flirt—he’s just doing his job gathering
intel. But he’d better stop playing the field and find that card fast
before someone beats him to it!
