Ben and the Cartoon (Reshiram or Zekrom?)

This is about me and the cartoons. In this one, I had to choose either Reshiram or Zekrom. Which one should I choose? After choosing a legendary Pokemon, I shall use it to defeat the Pokemon League. Maybe I should get the DNA Splicers fuse Reshiram and Zekrom together to get both, but that won't work. It can only combine the third legendary Pokemon Kyurem and one either Reshiram or Zekrom together. If my dream was to combine the three legends then I would bring Black Kyurem to Reshiram or White Kyurem to Zekrom to try to make Kyurem claim all of the legendary Pokemon's power. One time I can use it to stop Team Plasma's modified Genesect.

1. How did you use a separate photo, cartoon and background? I had to look into Google Images.

2. What parts are overlapping? Reshiram and Zekrom are overlapping.
