After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads them to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it. After this is done, N returns and tells the player that Kyurem has reawakened. With this, Nate/Rosa heads to the Giant Chasm again, catches Kyurem in its normal form, and recovers the lost DNA Splicers.

==Geography==
[[File:Unova PG.png|thumb|250px|Unova in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Unova is divided by two rivers that lead into an ocean to the south of it. These rivers cannot be surfed on, with the exception of the river directly below [[Village Bridge]]. It divides Unova into central and eastern peninsulas and a western landmass. These three landmasses are connected by five bridges: the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]], the [[Tubeline Bridge]], [[Marvelous Bridge]], and the Village Bridge. The eastern part of Unova is further divided by mountains that makes a southeast part and northeast part. The southeastern part is important to Trainers who want to compete in the Pokémon league since two Gyms are located there, but the northeastern part is not since there are no Gyms there and it mostly has tourism, as evidenced by the amount of people speaking foreign languages. Further away from this bundle of towns is where the {{un|Pokémon League}} is located. Interestingly, the northeastern part is the only place in the region to find Pokémon species foreign to Unova outside of Swarms. The central peninsula of Unova consists of two of the largest cities in the Pokémon world, [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]], as well as [[Opelucid City]] further north, all of which contain Gyms. Every bridge in Unova connects to the central part of the region from either the east or west. The western side contains medium-sized towns and more varied landscapes but it also has three Gyms there, making it another destination to visit for any Pokémon Trainer.
 
Unova is a mixture of urban and rural land. The region features 21 settlements which reflect the diversity of the region. Many cities have buildings that resemble real-world buildings, such as [[Striaton City]] and [[Castelia City]]. However, some cities remain the way buildings in the past do, such as [[Humilau City]], which has mostly wooden buildings on platforms above the ocean. [[Castelia City]], a sprawling metropolis, is one of the largest cities in the Pokémon world. [[Nuvema Town]], which is inhabited by the Pokémon expert [[Professor Juniper]], is smaller and quieter. [[Black City]] is a version-exclusive city found only in Pokémon Black. Unova's landscape also features several forests (one of which, [[White Forest]], is also version-exclusive), a [[Desert Resort|desert]], a [[Chargestone Cave|magnetic cave]] and areas where the move {{m|Dive}} can be used outside of battle. Although Unova appears in some ways more technologically advanced than the previous regions, this development is not spread across the whole of the region. There are several aesthetic differences in the region depending on the version; in Pokémon White and White 2, these changes make the geography more rural looking, while in Pokémon Black and Black 2, these changes are more technological in appearance.
 
===Climate===
{{main|Season (mechanic)}}
The climate of Unova, unlike other regions, solely depends on the time of the year.
 
Unlike previous regions, where climatic change was experienced locally (that is to say, some routes would always feature snow, and some routes would always feature rain), Unova is susceptible to national seasonal change. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter each last approximately thirty days, and recur three times each within a year. Each season brings with it different weather patterns, unlocks different events, and presents altered Pokémon availabilities.

Given that Unova is spread across three strips of land divided by two rivers, a number of bridges and an underwater tunnel exist to allow free movement across the region. Each of them has its own characteristic features and are even popular tourist attractions; they are:

Unlike previous regions, Unova's routes do not follow the same numbering system, with a jump to 301, but are numbered {{rtn|1|Unova}}-{{rtn|23|Unova}}, paralleling the [[Kanto]] region's numbering system and emphasizing Unova's dissociation from the previous four regions.
 
In the anime, it is also far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh that travelling to or from the region required either via airplane (as Ash and Delia did to arrive in Unova) or by ship (as evidenced by the return journey), the latter also requiring passage through the [[Decolore Islands]] to reach Kanto.
