Virizion, Cobalion, Terrakion.
They originally lived peaceful lives on this land.
Until one day, humans started a war, and countless Pokémon lost their homes, their freedom... and even their lives in the conflict.

Witnessing all of this, they were filled with immense anger. Thus, the three Pokémon formed a team known as the Swords of Justice.
From that day on, they fought against humans to protect the Pokémon who had lost their homes due to human wars.
However, years of fighting made the three Pokémon realize one thing.
Their current strength was probably not enough to stop all of this.
To become stronger, to gain the power to protect their kind, they began continuous, arduous training day and night.
And this time, they came here to become stronger Swords of Justice.
They decided to challenge the powerful Pokémon residing here to achieve their training goals.
However, it seems someone has already taken the first step... It's a human, a human with several Pokémon by his side.
"Hmph, Kyurem isn't someone just anyone can challenge." Terrakion, full of hostility towards humans, snorted coldly: "How overconfident!"
Cobalion didn't speak; it calmly gazed at the scene below.
The human lingered for a long time in front of the cave where Kyurem resided, then he stepped forward, slowly and firmly walking into the cave. His figure quickly disappeared into the shadows.
"Should we go too?" Virizion said softly.
Humans were their enemies, and they didn't need to care, but they couldn't just watch the Pokémon in that human's hands perish at Kyurem's mouth.
They were ready to act at any moment, to "liberate" those fellow Pokémon from that human's grasp.
"Hmph, let's go together and see how that guy gets utterly defeated by Kyurem!" Terrakion seemed a bit impatient.
Cobalion nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice: "Alright."

It was very dim inside the Giant Chasm.
To help Draconis find his way, Victini gathered flames in its large V-shaped ears, illuminating everything around them.
"Thank you, Victini," Draconis said with a smile.
"nini~!" Victini flew a circle around him.
Serperior followed behind Draconis. The cold temperature here was a bit uncomfortable for it, being a Grass-type Pokémon.
But as Draconis's Pokémon, at this moment, it could more or less sense the heavy and nervous emotions emanating from its Trainer.
"Woo?"
Serperior couldn't help but turn its head to look.
"What's wrong, Serperior?" Noticing Serperior's unusual behavior, Draconis looked over.
"Woo." Serperior's eyes, usually filled with an arrogant expression, now showed a hint of worry.
"Serperior..." Draconis hadn't expected Serperior's perception to be so keen.
Well, he was indeed a bit nervous right now. After all, Kyurem was a legendary Pokémon with terrifying strength, and with their current power, they would be no match for it.
Should he still fight a battle he knew he couldn't win?
Draconis didn't know the answer to that question.
Images of the familiar faces in his territory, and the genuine smiles on those Pokémon's faces, flashed through his mind.
Machoke, Conkeldurr, Dugtrio, Gyarados... He only knew that he had to do this.
A chaotic era was approaching. Only by gaining Kyurem's approval could they protect themselves in this turbulent world.
Draconis's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, his emotions incredibly complex, but he still spoke to comfort it: "Don't worry, I'm fine, Serperior."
Serperior didn't speak again. It silently extended a slender Vine Whip and firmly held Draconis's hand.
Its demeanor was as if it was telling Draconis: Don't worry, you're not alone; we are with you.
Seeing this, Draconis was slightly startled. He took a deep breath, his resolve growing stronger, and nodded heavily:
"Mm!"
At this moment, the space ahead suddenly opened up.
Draconis looked intently and realized they had passed through the outer caves and arrived at the central impact crater!
The space here was vast, and even after so many years, traces of the meteorite's fall still remained.
The massive meteorite that fell from the sky created a huge crater in the ground, piercing through an underground water vein. A large amount of groundwater surged out, forming a vast lake in this crater.
It was still dim here. Draconis vigilantly looked around but did not see Kyurem's figure.
But the almost solidified cold air and the terrifying oppressive feeling indicated to them that Kyurem was here!
Draconis clenched his fist and loudly called out to the surroundings:
"Come out, Kyurem! I am Third Prince Draconis of the Eindoak Kingdom, and I have come to challenge you! Reshiram and Zekrom have already appeared, and a terrible war will erupt in the Unova region. At that time, countless humans and Pokémon will lose their lives."
"I want to stop all of this, so we need your power—as thanks, I will help you recover your lost original power to replenish your strength! Kyurem, please come out!"
His words fell.
For a long time, there was no response in the dim cave. It was so quiet that the sound of water flowing in the underground water vein was clearly audible.
Is it not here? Draconis felt a little unwilling.
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, a faint sound, as if present and absent, came from the depths of the cave shrouded in darkness.
The sound was deep and heavy, yet carried a hint of irresistible majesty.
Immediately after, 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 huge lake, the surface of the lake instantly froze. The ice spread, and in almost the blink of an eye, the entire lake had transformed into an ice lake brimming with cold air!
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, an ancient and majestic voice echoed from the darkness.
"You desire my power, but do you possess the qualifications?"
Kyurem's massive body slowly emerged from the darkness, casting its gaze down upon the human youth on the opposite shore of the ice lake.
Invisible pressure surged from its body, mixed with an ancient aura and a coldness that seemed capable of freezing everything.
Draconis's body tensed. His hair, clothes, and the scales on Serperior's body were instantly covered in a layer of frost, as if frozen.
Even the flames on Victini's body dimmed for a moment.
Is this a legendary Pokémon? It hadn't even used a move, yet merely its surrounding aura could have such a profound effect on others.
"No matter what, I must try!" Draconis met Kyurem's gaze and said in a deep voice.
Kyurem stared at him, remaining silent for a long time.
An undeniable sense of oppression flowed through the air.
Draconis's expression remained resolute.
After a long pause, Kyurem finally spoke again, its voice containing a hint of intriguing emotion.
"Hmph, very well."
