At six in the evening, as dusk fell, all the villagers of Lacunosa Village returned to their homes, tightly closing their doors and windows, waiting for the night to descend.
Draconis was still staying at the old village chief's house, where the elderly couple had prepared a separate room for them.
Draconis lay on the wooden bed, while the three Swords of Justice rested prone beside it.
Kyurem and Dragonite were resting inside their Poké Balls.
However, speaking of Kyurem—
Draconis's mind stirred slightly, and Kyurem's data immediately appeared in his thoughts.
[Pokémon: Kyurem]
[Attributes: Dragon, Ice]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Ability: Pressure]
[Moves: Dragon Rage, Icy Wind, Ancient Power, Shadow Claw, Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Ice Beam, Dragon Breath, Slash, Dragon Pulse, Blizzard, Hyper Voice, Icy Wind, Stone Edge, Hail, Rest, Snowscape, Avalanche, Imprison, Outrage, Freeze-Dry, Sheer Cold, Glaciate]
[Affection: 50 (Maximum is 100, can be exceeded in special circumstances.)]
[Pokémon Life History: In an unknown era, the Dragon of the Dao was born in the cosmos.]
[kingdom calendar Year 106, the Dragon of the Dao arrived on this planet.]
[kingdom calendar Year 107, the Dragon of the Dao split into three, and its husk transformed into Kyurem, sleeping deep within the Giant Chasm.]
[kingdom calendar Year 149, Kyurem recognized a human named Draconis and chose to entrust its power to him.]
"The Dragon of the Dao—"
Looking at Kyurem's life history, Draconis couldn't help but be stunned.
As a transmigrator, he was very familiar with the legend of the three Dragons of the Way in the Unova region.
Legend has it that Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem were originally one entity, known as the Strongest Dragon.
But later, due to some unknown reasons, that divine dragon split into three; its will and spirit became Reshiram and Zekrom, while the remaining husk became Kyurem.
At this moment, Draconis suddenly felt a surge of curiosity.
If he found both Zekrom and Reshiram at the same time, could Kyurem fuse with both of them to form its complete shape?
Logically speaking, it should be possible.
However, this form only exists in legends; Kyurem's original appearance has never been seen in games or anime.
"Kyurem," Draconis called out.
Inside the Poké Ball, Kyurem's eyes suddenly snapped open: "Hmm?"
"If I find Reshiram and Zekrom, can you fuse the power of both of them at the same time, becoming three-in-one?" Draconis asked.
Hearing this, Kyurem fell silent.
After a long time, it slowly spoke: "My power alone is not enough. Reshiram and Zekrom were awakened by human will; they have long since developed their own will and soul."
Unless a human is born in this world who simultaneously possesses Reshiram's "Truth" and Zekrom's "Ideals," and is recognized by both of them, they must also gain the recognition of it, the "Husk."
All three are indispensable.
Only then will those two Dragons willingly fuse with it to achieve Truth and Ideals, restoring its true form.
However, the difficulty of such a feat is self-evident.
Kyurem did not voice the latter part of its thoughts. After answering Draconis's question, it fell silent once more.
Hearing Kyurem's words, Draconis immediately felt immense regret.
Kyurem was right; Reshiram and Zekrom had already developed their own will and soul.
They probably wouldn't agree to fuse with each other.
What a pity, he wouldn't get a chance to see the legendary Strongest Dragon.
Draconis couldn't help but feel some regret.
Just then, Draconis suddenly heard a distinct knocking sound from outside.
The three Swords of Justice seemed to sense the abnormality as well and immediately became vigilant.
The village was utterly silent at night, devoid of any sound.
Precisely because of this, the knocking sound seemed even more abrupt and clear in this environment.
— The man-eating monster has broken into the village again!
This thought immediately flashed through Draconis's mind.
He abruptly stood up, walked lightly to the door, and peered through the crack to observe the situation outside.
Snowflakes had begun to drift in the night sky at some point, accompanied by gusts of cold wind.
Snow in June!
This strange sight absolutely could not be a naturally occurring phenomenon for this season.
"Has that man-eating monster come to the village again?" The three Swords of Justice stood up and walked over.
"It should be," Draconis nodded. Based on the monster's cycle for capturing people, its next visit to the village was due within the next few days.
Before leaving, he had to help the villagers here resolve this incident.
Firstly, to prevent the villagers from suffering further harm, and simultaneously, to clear Kyurem's name.
Secondly, Lacunosa Village is home to many Ice-type Pokémon, which is an excellent resource for humans.
Draconis had plans to develop Lacunosa Village into a castle town. At that time, his subjects could come here to train and capture Ice-type Pokémon.
Especially in this era without refrigerators, Ice-type Pokémon could substitute for refrigeration, allowing food to be stored longer.
Thinking of this, Draconis immediately opened the wooden door.
"Whoosh—!"
A gust of cold wind howled past, and the knocking sound in the village suddenly ceased.
Through the swirling white snow, Draconis's gaze Lock-On the entrance of a residence not far away.
Standing there was a figure dressed in a kimono, floating in the air like a ghostly woman.
It was Froslass, just as expected!
That Froslass had knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening from behind her.
Froslass turned around and saw the door of a nearby residence being opened from the inside by a young man.
The moment she saw him, Froslass's eyes instantly lit up.
This prey—is so beautiful!
She decided!
She wanted to freeze him and take him back to her lair as decoration.
That way, she could be with him forever!
"Fros!"
Froslass let out an ethereal, ghostly cry.
While quietly approaching the man, she beckoned to him like a graceful maiden, indicating that he should come closer.
But just as she was about to reach freezing distance, three figures suddenly leaped out from behind the man.
Virizion, Cobalion, and Terrakion looked at the Froslass before them with complicated expressions.
Froslass was startled: "Fros?!"
"Stop this, Froslass," Draconis stepped forward slowly and said, "Don't harm the villagers anymore."
However, this Froslass seemed to realize that the person before her was not easy to deal with. She immediately turned around, intending to flee.
Draconis quickly took out Dragonite's Poké Ball, then swung himself onto its back: "Dragonite, follow her!"
Catching Froslass was not his objective. His true intention was to follow Froslass to find her lair and, in doing so, find the human villagers she had captured!
"Woo—!"
Dragonite let out a long, melodious cry, then spread its wings and soared into the sky, chasing after the Froslass.
Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion followed closely behind.
