Quick recap

Black dreams of becoming Champion of the Unova Pokémon League and sets out with White, who runs the BW Agency and wants to raise the best Pokémon actor. Along the way comes Team Plasma, led by the mysterious N, which preaches separating Pokémon from their Trainers. Plasma raids the Nacrene Museum, steals the Dark Stone and kidnaps nearly all the Gym Leaders. N awakens and tames Zekrom, while Reshiram, still the Light Stone, picks Black as its hero. The League begins and Black beats Cheren in the final. Then Black and Reshiram defeat N and Zekrom, and after them Ghetsis. N says goodbye, and Black is sealed inside the Light Stone with Reshiram and vanishes.
