Chapter 130: Swordsman Kyurem Appears!
Terrakion, Cobalion, Keldeo.
They once lived peaceful lives on this land.
Until one day, humans waged war, and countless Pokémon lost their homes and freedom in the war… and even their lives.
Witnessing all of this, they were enraged, and thus, the three Pokémon formed a team called 【 Sacred Sword 】.
From that day on, they fought against humans to protect Pokémon who had lost their homes due to human wars.
However, years of battles made the three Pokémon realize one thing.
With their current strength, it was likely not enough to stop all of this.
To become stronger, to gain the power to protect their kind, they began arduous training day and night.
And this time, they came here to become a more powerful Swordsman.
They decided to challenge the powerful Pokémon that lived here, thereby achieving their training goals.
However, it seems someone has already taken the first step…
It was a human, a human with a few Pokémon by his side.
“Hmph, Kyurem is not someone anyone can challenge,” Terrakion, filled with hostility towards humans, snorted: “Such overestimation of oneself!”
Cobalion remained silent, calmly gazing at the scene below.
The human stood before Kyurem’s cave for a long time, then slowly and resolutely walked into the cave, his figure soon disappearing into the shadows.
“Shall we go too?” Terrakion said softly.
Humans were their enemies, and they didn’t need to care, but they couldn’t just stand by and watch the Pokémon in that human’s hand perish by Kyurem’s jaws.
They were ready to act at any moment, to “liberate” those Pokémon from the human’s hands.
“Hmph, let’s go together and see how that guy gets utterly defeated by Kyurem!” Terrakion seemed a little impatient.
Cobalion nodded slightly, then said solemnly: “Agreed.”

The Giant Cave was very dark.
To help Lei Wen guide the way forward, Victini gathered flames in its large V-shaped ears to illuminate everything around them.
“Thank you, Victini,” Lei Wen said with a smile.
“Nini~!” Victini circled him once.
Serperior followed behind Lei Wen. The temperature here was cold, which was somewhat uncomfortable for it as a Grass Type Pokémon.
But as Lei Wen’s Pokémon, it could somewhat sense the heavy and tense emotions emanating from its Trainer at this moment.
“Wuu?”
Serperior couldn’t help but turn its head.
“What’s wrong? Serperior?” Noticing Serperior’s unusual behavior, Lei Wen looked over.
“Wuu.” Serperior’s eyes, which usually held a proud expression, now showed a hint of worry.
“Serperior…” Lei Wen didn’t expect Serperior to be so perceptive.
Well, he was indeed a bit nervous. After all, Kyurem was a Legendary Pokémon with terrifying strength. With their current power, they were no match for it.
Should they fight a battle they knew they couldn’t win?
Lei Wen didn’t know the answer to this question.
Familiar faces in their territory, and the genuine smiles on the Pokémon’s faces, flashed through his mind.
Machamp, Garbodor, Sandshrew, Gyarados…
He only knew that he had to do this.
Chaos was coming, and only by gaining Kyurem’s recognition could they protect themselves in this chaotic world.
Lei Wen’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, and his heart was incredibly complex, but he still spoke to comfort it: “Don’t worry, I’m fine, Serperior.”
Serperior made no further sound. It silently extended a slender Vine Whip and firmly grasped Lei Wen’s hand.
Its gesture was as if to say to Lei Wen: Don’t worry, you are not alone; we are by your side.
Seeing this, Lei Wen was slightly taken aback. He took a deep breath, his heart growing even more resolute, and nodded heavily:
“Yeah!”
At this moment, the space ahead suddenly opened up.
Lei Wen gazed intently and realized they had passed through the outer cave and arrived at the central crater!
The space here was vast, and even after so many years, the traces of the meteor strike remained.
The giant meteor that fell from the sky had created a massive pit in the ground, piercing the underground water veins. A large amount of groundwater surged out, gathering in this impact crater to form a vast lake.
It was still dark. Lei Wen cautiously looked around but did not see Kyurem.
But the almost tangible cold air and the terrifying pressure told them that Kyurem was here!
Lei Wen clenched his fist and shouted into the surroundings:
“Come out, Kyurem! I am Lei Wen, the Third Prince of the Aindook Kingdom, here to challenge you! Reshiram and Zekrom have appeared, and a terrible war will break out in the Unova Region, during which countless humans and Pokémon will lose their lives.”
“I want to stop all of this, so we need your Power—in return, I will help you reclaim your lost Origin Power to supplement your strength! Kyurem, please come out!”
As his voice faded.
After a long time, there was no response in the dark cave, so quiet that the sound of water flowing in the underground veins was clearly audible.
Not here? Lei Wen was somewhat unwilling.
“Mmm…”
Suddenly, a faint sound came from the depths of the cave, shrouded in darkness.
The sound was deep and resonant, with an undeniable majesty.
Then, something seemed to move in the depths of the cave, and rolling cold air spread out from it, lingering on the ground and continuously expanding outwards.
When this cold air touched the vast lake, the surface instantly froze over. The ice spread, and in almost the blink of an eye, the entire lake had turned into a lake filled with chilling mist!
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a hoarse and majestic voice rang out from the darkness.
“To desire My Power, do you have the qualification?”
Kyurem’s massive body slowly emerged from the darkness, looking down from above at the human boy on the other side of the ice lake.
An invisible pressure swept out from its body, mixed with an ancient aura and a chilling cold that seemed capable of freezing everything.
Lei Wen’s body tensed. His hair, clothes, and the Scales on Serperior’s body were instantly covered in frost, as if frozen.
Even Victini’s flames flickered for a moment.
Is this a Legendary Pokémon? Even without using any moves, its mere aura could have such a profound impact on others.
“No matter what, I must try!” Lei Wen met Kyurem’s gaze and said solemnly.
Kyurem stared at him, remaining silent for a long time.
An undeniable pressure flowed through the air.
Lei Wen’s expression remained firm.
After a long while, Kyurem finally spoke again, with a hint of a curious emotion within its voice.
“Hmph, very good.”
