 [[File:Black blank.png|thumb|left|125px|Black emptying his mind]]
-Black is a young man who aspires to be the Champion of the Unova Pokémon League. He has been dreaming of this since childhood, nine years to be exact. However, these dreams fill his head to the point where he cannot think about anything else and any attempts to cause him to pass out from mental exhaustion. With his Munna, Musha, Black can have him eat his dreams, which he refers to turning his mind from "blank white" to "solid black". This technique, known as (Japanese: '''推理タイム''' ''Detective Time''), allows him to think much more clearly, become smarter, and improve perception. Also, when he does this, he apparently sees in hexagons. Due to his dreams causing him to forget about other things, Black has the tendency to do things without considering the consequences of his actions and their effects on other people. As the series goes on, Black slowly begins to consider the feelings of others and even manages to be able to think about other things for brief periods of time.

As the series goes on, Black slowly begins to consider the feelings of others and even manages to be able to think about other things for brief periods of time.
 He has been described as "hot blooded" by several characters due to his loud nature and tendency to do things on his own. He doesn't understand show business like White does and many aspects of it surprise him, such as [[Gigi]] and [[Tep]] getting to stay in a hotel room while he and White have to camp out. He is very familiar with libraries and went there frequently as a child, allowing him to complete [[Lenora]]'s Gym puzzle very quickly, setting a new record in the process. Black's tendency to dream also causes him to miss the things happening around him, such as when he completely forgot his promise with his friends {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}} once he received the package holding the Pokémon and [[Pokédex]]es they were going to receive. For his skills, he is given the title of '''"Dreamer"''' ({{tt|夢みる者|ゆめみるもの}} ''Dreamer''), which he shares with {{adv|White}}.

-Black debuted in ''[[PS462|Choices]]'', where he received a package from [[Professor Juniper]] containing a {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, and three [[Pokédex]]es. Having developed a cold from standing in the rain all night waiting for the package caused Black to sneeze and release the Pokémon from their {{i|Poké Ball}}s. A fight broke out between the [[starter Pokémon]], causing Tepig to run off with Black chasing after it. Black later found Tepig trapped on a tree, being attacked by a hidden Pokémon. With [[Musha]]'s help, Black deduced the culprit to be a wild {{p|Sewaddle}}, which Tepig quickly defeated. Afterward, Tepig joined Black's team and was nicknamed [[Bo|Tep]].

 In ''[[PS464|Black's First Trainer Battle]]'', Black met {{tc|Hiker}} Andy, a Trainer that once dreamed of competing in the Pokémon League, but failed multiple times and eventually gave up. After helping Andy put out a fire his {{p|Cottonee}} accidentally started, Black encouraged the man to try and continue challenging the Pokémon League again.

 In ''[[PS506|A Week to Go and Old Wounds]]'', Black decided to convince Drayden to let him participate in the League by capturing a Legendary Pokémon. At the [[Mistralton Cave]], he met [[Shoko]] of the {{p|Patrat}} show. They went in the cave to rescue Shoko's friend, Trish of {{tc|The Riches}} family, from Virizion, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Terrakion}}, and {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Cobalion}}, who defeated her after Trish tried capturing them. Black managed to free Trish, but Trish and Shoko's Pokémon were taken by the Legendary Pokémon, who intended on freeing them from their Trainers. After following them, Black managed to convince Cobalion the Pokémon wanted to stay with their Trainers.

 In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'', Black reunited with White, who had finished her training and obtained a Pokédex as well. Shortly after, Black, White, and Iris witnessed Alder losing a battle to N. Noticing that N awakened Zekrom, the Light Stone briefly transformed into Reshiram before reverting to its dormant state. When N tried leaving, [[Cedric Juniper]] appeared and asked Black to team up with him and get N to reveal the whereabouts of the kidnapped Gym Leaders. With Bo, {{adv|Amanda}}, and Cedric's {{p|Samurott}}, they managed to easily defeat N's Zorua and Gigi, but N revived the rest of his Pokémon, bringing them back to square one. Black tried getting [[Musha]] to clear his head, but it recoiled in fear instead. N told Black that his dreams changed over the course of his journey and were no longer appealing to Musha, meaning it no longer had a reason to stay with Black. As Musha floated away, Black fainted from the shock that the bond he shared with his longtime friend never truly existed.
 In ''[[PS511|Dream a Little Dream]]'', Black found himself at a hospital, where he learned the League's opening ceremony had already started while he slept. Feeling defeated, Black chose to go back home, but decided to stay after seeing how sad his Pokémon were to not be able to compete in the League. He went to Drayden and challenged him to a last-minute Gym battle, stating that he still had time until the tournament actually began. Drayden agreed and faced Black in a one-on-one battle in a hallway. Musha's betrayal still had Black in shock, preventing him from properly focusing. When [[Caitlin]] arrived and used her psychic powers to relay a message of encouragement from the Gym Leaders to Black, he regained his focus and defeated Drayden, earning the {{badge|Legend}} and a place in the League tournament.

 In ''[[PS513|Into the Quarterfinals!]]'', Black battled through the tournament and made it to the Best 8 alongside Cheren, Iris, [[Zinzolin|Gray]], [[Leo]], {{adv|Looker}}, and [[Colress|Hood Man]]. In the first round of the quarterfinals, Black went up against Looker, disguised as a man named Lou Karr. Despite Looker's use of {{p|Croagunk}}, a Pokémon not native to Unova, Black managed to defeat him and advance to the next round. In the semifinals, Black went up against Iris, who wanted to defeat N and restore Alder's honor. Though both were determined to win, Black ended up the victor and advanced to the finals. Sympathizing with Iris's desire to avenge her master's teacher, Black promised that he would defeat N for both them.

 During the finals, White discovered that Gray was actually Zinzolin in disguise, but Hood Man {{m|Teleport|teleported}} her away before she could reveal it. In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Black told Zinzolin to tell him where White was taken to, only for the man to activate a remote and summon [[N's Castle]] from the depths of the earth. The castle surrounded the League building while several Plasma Grunts came out and cornered everyone. Ghetsis, the other sages, and N had the Gym Leaders hoisted on crucifixes as a means of insulting the League. Ghetsis mocked Black's helplessness, as his remaining allies were too preoccupied with the Grunts to help him. A voice denying that claim revealed itself to be Andy, who was joined by Geoff, Chris, Logan, Jeremy, Shoko, and Trish. The seven Trainers told Black to go on ahead while they stayed behind to free the Gym Leaders.

 In ''[[PS521|Triple Threat]]'', Black sent his Pokémon to help Andy's group while he teamed up with Reshiram to battle N and Zekrom. Due to not being used to fighting with Reshiram, Black struggled against N, but with Cedric Juniper's help, he learned how to utilize Reshiram's abilities properly and dealt a heavy blow to Zekrom with Reshiram's {{m|Fusion Flare}}. Zekrom quickly got back up and fled to the inside of the castle with Black and Reshiram following after them. Once inside, they continued their battle, but a second Zekrom appeared to assist the first. Easily seeing through the ruse, Black had Reshiram attack the real Zekrom, defeating it. The second Zekrom revealed itself to be Zorua, who had remained to help N despite him releasing all of his friends prior to the attack on the League. Black told N that Zorua wished to stay with him despite being released. N understood Zorua's wishes, but both ended up passing out.

 In ''[[PS524|A Difficult Parting]]'', Black and White reunited again. N awakened and thanked Black and White for helping him see the error of his ways. N decided to go find his own path and left on Zekrom's back, leaving Zorua behind. With its counterpart gone, Reshiram began reverting into the Light Stone, the pull being so strong that Black feared he and White would be sucked in as well. This gave Ghetsis the idea to use Hood Man's {{p|Beheeyem}} to throw Black at Reshiram before making his escape. Knowing he was trapped, Black revealed he was wearing the BW Agency logo under his shirt and planned on revealing it to the audience after he won the tournament. Black asked if he paid off his debt, but was absorbed into the Light Stone before White could answer. As she confirmed that he did pay it off, White tried to reach out to the Light Stone, but it flew off to parts unknown as White cried out for Black to return.

-Two years later, in [[PS542]], the Light Stone and Zekrom were summoned to Unova, having been pulled there by the growing power of {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}. The Light Stone made a detour and stopped at the [[Entralink]], where it was found by White. After explaining to White about Team Plasma's return, N had White take the Light Stone to safety while he and Zekrom faced Ghetsis and Kyurem. He told White that Reshiram would awaken if Zekrom were absorbed by Kyurem and decided to leave the rest up to Black.

Black and White teamed up to attack Kyurem, but their assault was cut short when N was ejected from the Dark Stone. With his opponents distracted, Ghetsis had Kyurem launch an attack before escaping. While they searched for Ghetsis, Black and White found {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} on a nearby beach. The four Unova Pokédex holders introduced themselves and decided to stop Team Plasma together. After tracking Kyurem's whereabouts to the [[Giant Chasm]] with Musha's help, Black and the others rode on Reshiram's back to chase after Ghetsis.

There, they encountered Iris, who revealed she managed to succeed Alder as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova, and Gorm, who had betrayed Team Plasma to join the side of good. Tired of waiting for the heroes, Colress revealed himself and told Kyurem to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress, [[Rood]] appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt the [[Colress Machine]]'s effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the Dark Stone before absorbing Reshiram to become White Kyurem. Frustrated at his machine's defeat, Colress threw the device away and fled, revealing he decided to quit Team Plasma. While Black, White, and Iris fought Kyurem, Blake chased after Colress while Whitley went to the Plasma Frigate to rescue N, who was held captive aboard the vessel.

After the Shadow Triad stole the Dark Stone from the Nacrene Gym, the Light Stone rolled towards an unconscious Black, having chosen him as the hero to wield it. Brycen took the Light Stone and Black to [[Icirrus City]] to train him and make him able to wield Reshiram's power. After Black defeated Brycen in their Gym battle, Brycen entrusted the Light Stone to Black. When Black found N in a battle against Alder, Reshiram felt the presence of N's Zekrom, causing it to be released from the Light Stone. However, with a glare from Zekrom, Reshiram returned to its Stone, indicating Black's inability to control it. After winning the Unova League tournament, Black's resolve to defeat Team Plasma finally allowed Reshiram to be fully released from the Light Stone.
