'''The Lesson Ends Here''' (Japanese: '''VSヒヒダルマ''' ''VS {{tt|Hihidaruma|Darmanitan}}'' or '''頂上''' ''Summit'') is the 508th round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}

In a mountainous area near the [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Marshal]] is tailing after his master, Champion [[Alder]], asking him to return to the Pokémon League because the tournament is starting in a week's time. Alder claims that the [[Elite Four (Unova)|Elite Four]] were appointed for that purpose, and wants to step down as Champion in order to live a normal life again. Marshal follows Alder towards the bottom of a cliff, where [[N]] is waiting for them. N tells them about the [[Tao trio|legend of Unova]]. During N's speech, Alder spots a black dragon hovering above N, and recognizes it as {{p|Zekrom}}. N finally states that he had been waiting for Alder, the advocator of "that drivel called the [[Pokémon League]]".

That statement provokes Marshal, but Alder tells him to stay calm, and even goes as far as believing N's words. Once Alder and N agree the terms of their battle, Marshal declares that he will judge. During the battle, Alder's {{p|Bouffalant}} and {{p|Escavalier}} team up to knock out N's {{p|Darmanitan}}. Alder uses the opportunity to ask N if [[Team Plasma]] was responsible for the kidnapping of the Gym Leaders, and whether he has anything to do with them. N not only confirms the Gym Leaders' kidnapping, but also states that he is King of Team Plasma, and that Zekrom has recognised him, which makes him a hero. N continues the battle with {{p|Zorua}}.

Meanwhile, {{adv|Black}} and [[Iris]] are climbing up the same mountainous area. Black, already depressed by several previous incidents, gets further annoyed by Iris' provocative words and threatens to {{m|Sky Drop}} her off the area but realizes that he doesn't have [[Brav]]. Coincidentally, Black sees Brav in the distance flying towards him, and bursts into joy once he is reunited with his childhood companion. He also deduces that {{adv|White}} must be around somewhere, and turns around to see a smiling White accompanied by a {{p|Serperior}}. White thanks Black for lending Brav to her, and states that she is returning Brav to him because she has a full team. To prove it, she sends out the three Pokémon that she recruited during the [[Battle Subway]] training, the {{p|Deerling}} that Black already knows about, and the {{p|Vullaby}} that she caught at [[Café Sonata]]. White surprises Black even further by showing him the [[Pokédex]] that used to belong to {{adv|Bianca}}. Just as Iris makes a snide comment about their reunion, she hears the sound of a fight, and rushes towards the source of the sound, with Black and White following her. Black, White and Iris reach the edge of a cliff and are shocked to see Alder sprawled on the ground next to his fallen Bouffalant, Escavalier and {{p|Vanilluxe}}.
