Kyurem (M15): Difference between revisions

Having been born at the same time as {{mov|Reshiram|Reshiram|14}} and {{mov|Zekrom|Zekrom|14}}, Kyurem is considered the strongest Dragon-type Pokémon in the world. It can harness the powers of both Reshiram and Zekrom at will, allowing it to transform into White Kyurem and Black Kyurem respectively. According to {{mov|Keldeo|Keldeo|15}}, one cannot become a [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Sword of Justice]] until one defeats Kyurem, who the Colt Pokémon is eager to fight against in order to become a member of that position.

Residing in the abandoned mines of a mountain sanctuary named [[Full Court]], Kyurem was challenged to a battle by Keldeo, who claimed to be a Sword of Justice but in truth was training to become one. The Boundary Pokémon engaged Keldeo in battle, and although the Colt Pokémon managed to land a hit on Kyurem, the latter soon proved to be too strong for Keldeo, and the fight escalated with Kyurem breaking off Keldeo's horn with a Shadow Claw attack. [[Swords of Justice (M15)#Terrakion|Terrakion]], who had observed the battle nearby, attempted to stop the fight to help Keldeo, despite [[Swords of Justice (M15)#Cobalion|Cobalion]]'s warnings. Enraged by the intrusion, Kyurem shifted into White Kyurem and used Ice Burn on Cobalion, [[Swords of Justice (M15)#Virizion|Virizion]], and Terrakion, locking them in a block of ice to prevent further interference. Keldeo was overcome with fear and fled during the middle of the battle. Furious, Kyurem began pursuing the Colt Pokémon, angrily declaring that their battle was not over.

Keldeo admitted to Kyurem that it lied about being a Sword of Justice and did so in order to do battle with the Boundary Pokémon, but Kyurem revealed that it already knew that Keldeo was a liar from the start and then demanded that they ended their battle. Through Ash's support, Keldeo transformed into its Resolute Form and proceeded with its battle against Kyurem, with the Boundary Pokémon still proving to be too much for Keldeo. As it seemed that Kyurem won the battle by freezing Keldeo solid using Freeze Shock as Black Kyurem, Keldeo broke free and was able to learn a move called {{m|Secret Sword}}. With it, the Colt Pokémon landed a direct hit on Kyurem.

Pleased by this turn of events, and witnessing Keldeo's true power, Kyurem attacked at full strength by unleashing another Freeze Shock attack, which Keldeo blocked, but caused the attack to threaten Ash, Iris, Cilan, and the now freed Swords of Justice. Keldeo leaped in and split the Freeze Shock in half with Secret Sword, preventing the attack from hitting its friends, but took major damage in the process. This resulted in the Colt Pokémon collapsing, and Kyurem pinned Keldeo down by its horn. The Colt Pokémon admitted defeat, but instead of finishing the battle, Kyurem reverted to its normal form, impressed that Keldeo chose to protect its friends over winning the fight, earning Kyurem's respect. When the mines began to collapse from the damage it sustained from the battle, Kyurem changed into White Kyurem and simply froze the collapsing pieces into place, preventing the destruction of the mines and creating an ice castle to live in, while the Swords of Justice, Keldeo, and the others escaped to safety. Kyurem then shifted back into its normal form and lumbered back into its lair without a word.
