Kyurem (M15): Difference between revisions

gender=Genderless|

Having been born at the same time as {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}} and {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}, 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.

Determined to finish their battle, Kyurem, aided by its {{p|Cryogonal}} followers, relentlessly hunted down Keldeo, but was stalled by {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}}, who found the Colt Pokémon and befriended it. After being lured away from Keldeo by Iris, and later Cilan, Kyurem returned to the abandoned mines, whhich Ash would later enter in his attempt to free the trapped Swords of Justice when Keldeo was once again gripped with fear. Kyurem, enraged by the intrusion of a human in its lair, confronted Ash, who was striking at the ice that held the Swords of Justice to free them. When Ash refused to leave, the Boundary Pokémon attacked him with Dragon Pulse, but the strike was blocked by Keldeo, who finally gained the courage to face Kyurem.

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}}, and 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 back 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.

Kyurem appears in the {{ma|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice|manga adaptation}} of the film, fufilling the same role as it did in the film.
