Number 51: An Odd Request.
Story Outline: Whilst out helping out the other Legends in the Unova region, Keldeo and Meloetta get an odd request from Kyurem...
One of the duties of being a legendary is to help the other legends in your region.
It may involve gathering up crops, helping build something, or just generally help clean up.
Keldeo and Meloetta are walking through the forest, near Giant Chasm.
Genesect has moved into a small cave just on the outskirts of the Chasm, to live there.
But with all the duties of being a legend, Genesect is often out, and hardly has time to clean the place.
So, today, Meloetta and Keldeo decided to help Genesect clean the cave.
They helped Genesect clean out the obvious stuff, and discovered that the cave is bigger than he previously thought.
They left Genesect to think about putting in some rooms.
"I can understand why Genesect need help..." murmured Keldeo.
"There was a lot of stuff there..."
"Why is there boxes filled with random stuff?" asked Meloetta curiously.
"From what I heard from Mewtwo, behaviours of different bug type Pokemon are in Genesect's system."
replied Keldeo.
"Durants are hoarders, and that makes Genesect a hoarder."
"Oh."
As the two kept on walking, Meloetta notice it was getting colder.
She told Keldeo.
"That's weird." went Keldeo, frowning. "We should be faraway from Giant Chasm by now..."
He looked around, noticing that some puddles of water are quickly freezing.
"What causing this?"
Suddenly, a load of trees fell and a monstrous Pokemon burst through the woods.
The Pokemon is a gray and blue colored, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis.
It has a unique blue head and snout and has yellow eyes without pupils, has a pair of pointed light bluish horns on its head and a yellow crest on its skull.
Its jaws are frozen shut by the ice covering its head.
It's neck is long and gray in color with lines running around its whole body, legs, arms and tail.
The Pokemon has two arms, each with its own claw and each arm is jointed together from its blue oddly shaped wings.
Its wings are believed to be used for flying as well as storing cold air and have two spikes of ice each.
The ice covering the wings is breakable, revealing gray tendril-like appendages on it's back.
The right side of its body seems to be damaged in some way, as the wing and horn on its head on that side are shorter; the right side of its head also has a spiked edge near its jaw hinge that is absent from its left.
Its legs are somewhat slender, and has three sharp ice-like claws on each enormous foot.
Its tail has three blue icicle-shaped spikes on its tip.
Its tail appears to be some sort of propulsion device or a container of energy; exactly what it is based on is unclear, but it may be a damaged turbine.
This is Kyurem.
Kyurem stomped in front of the two, absent-mindedly, as he was thinking about something.
Keldeo instantly stood in front of Meloetta.
"Kyurem!" barked Keldeo. "What are you doing here?"
"Hm...?" went Kyurem, turning to the two.
"Keldeo? Meloetta? What are you two doing near Giant Chasm?"
"We're nowhere near Giant Chasm!" yelled Meloetta, annoyed.
Kyurem looked around.
"Huh. I must of got lost again. Me and my thinking..."
Keldeo stepped forward cautiously.
"What were you thinking about?"
"A problem."
"What sort of problem?"
"It involves an secret of mine..."
Kyurem brooded a bit, then came to ask something.
"You two still helping out the other legends?"
Both Keldeo and Meloetta nodded.
Kyurem sighed.
"May you help me with my... problem?" begrudgingly asked Kyurem.
Keldeo thought about it.
On one hand, Keldeo and Kyurem's relationship isn't that great, since the fight at Full Court.
But on the other, Keldeo isn't the one to turn anyone needing help, even if they are a zombie-ice dragon from out-of-space.
"Sure." replied Keldeo.
"WHAT?!" yelled Meloetta. "Why?"
"I can't turn down any request.
It's a Sword of Justice's duty to help anyone in need."
Kyurem sighed again.
"Here we go..."
The Ice Dragon turned round and began walking.
"Follow me..." he called.
A little while later, Kyurem, Keldeo and Meloetta are in Giant Chasm, inside the cave.
"Why are we at Giant Chasm?" questioned Keldeo.
"I thought you lived at Full Court."
"I do." replied Kyurem, growling slightly, in annoyance. "But, I also live at Giant Chasm.
I change homes every month, to make sure no creep trying to mess my territory."
"Like Darkrai?" Meloetta had asked.
"No." went Kyurem. "He's just... misunderstood. Some beings view him evil due to his ability to cause nightmares."
"Huh..."
Kyurem continued to walk, with Keldeo and Meloetta following.
"I wonder what Kyurem needs help with...?" whispered Meloetta, to Keldeo.
Keldeo shrugged.
"I don't partially know.
He's been quiet about it, and seems not to be proud of it."
"Do you have any clue about it?"
"No."
Meloetta sighed.
"That's a shame..."
"What's a shame?" asked Kyurem, curiously.
"Nothing!" went Meloetta, nervously.
If Kyurem had eyebrows, he would be raising them.
"Meh." he said.
"Anyway, we're here."
Keldeo and Meloetta noticed Kyurem standing in front of a room.
A chilling breeze floated through, plus something sweet.
Kyurem jested to Meloetta.
"Go inside."
Meloetta looked at Keldeo, who shrugged, and then she went inside the room.
A few seconds later, Meloetta walked out, confused.
"Is that..." she went. "Ice cream?"
Kyurem nodded.
"Eh?" said Keldeo.
Keldeo walked into the room, and saw a sight.
That entire room is filled with massive piles of Ice Cream.
Each pile is a different colour, to represent it's flavour.
Keldeo turned to Kyurem.
"Why is there Ice Cream?!" he asked, very confused.
"Where did you get it from?"
"I... made it." affirmed Kyurem, blushing slightly with embarrassment.
"You made Ice Cream?" questioned Meloetta. "That's unusual for you..."
"I..." started Kyurem. "...make Ice Cream as a hobby..."
Keldeo and Meloetta stared at Kyurem, if he was insane.
Kyurem sighed.
"I guess I must start from the beginning to explain this..."
The Ice dragon turned round.
"When... I was complete, when Zekrom and Reshiram were still a part of me, I was part of an now-gone kingdom.
The king appreciate me for protecting the kingdom, and help it grow.
For that, every year, celebrations were thrown in my honour, to show the kingdoms appreciation.
I would do shows involving ice, which was... pretty good.
One time, some of the local humans made some whipped cream with strawberry juice mixed with it.
It was due to be given to the King, as it was his favourite thing to eat.
Then my show came along.
One of the Ice Beam I used in the show accidentally hit the barrel containing the mixture, and froze the mixture entirely.
I remember when the king when to see it after my show, he tasted it, and said it was the best thing he tasted.
So, every month, when I wasn't busy, I would make Ice Cream.
Then I got separated, and then the War came along, and I forgotten the skill.
Around a couple months back, during a Hall of Origin meeting with the higher up legends, some snacks came along during one of our discussions.
Some had flavoured cream.
Reshiram suggested to me to take up the skill again, as me, Zekrom and Reshiram were once one, and shared my... memories...
One thing led to another, and now, Arceus has told me to do something instead of doing nothing or killing who gets into my territory.
And now I make Ice Cream on a bimonthly basis.
I said earlier that that I change homes.
With the territory bit, yes, but also to come to Giant Chasm to make Ice Cream.
There are rare plants at the Hall's garden that I use for ingredients."
Meloetta nodded.
"At least you have something to do that's good." she said, hesitatingly, trying not to insult Kyurem.
She turned to Keldeo.
"Isn't that right, Kelde?"
Keldeo is deep in thought.
He was imagining Kyurem as an Ice Cream vendor.
Kyurem growled a bit.
"This is embarrassing as the time I got covered by melted chocolate..."
Meloetta turned to Kyurem.
"So, what does this have to do with your problem?"
Kyurem stared at Meloetta, before starting.
"As I said, I make Ice Cream on a bimonthly basis.
Meaning, I make Ice Cream once every two months.
I deliver the Ice Cream with the Cryogonals on a cart, to a portal that's located somewhere here, in Giant Chasm, to the Hall.
It's then stored in the Ice Room, where many things that need freeze or stay very cold is located.
Unfortunately, last week, when wanting Ice Cream, Ho-Oh went in there to find that Mew had eaten the entire lot.
Arceus requested that I made more, which I have, but I can't deliver.
And this is where you are wondering, 'why can't you deliver it yourself?'"
Keldeo nodded.
"Why can't you?"
Kyurem sighed, with slight embarrassment.
"It's Articuno's birthday next week. I don't particularly get along with any other types apart from Ice types, as they get me.
I get along with Articuno very well, and vice versa.
Zapdos, as part of Articuno's trio, asked me to make some Ice Cream that is Glacier Berry flavour, for an Ice Cream Cake.
Glacier Berries are very rare, and hard to use to make food, plus it's Articuno's favourite berry.
I'm about 75% done with the request, and Arceus' order of Ice Cream is already done.
I'm too busy with the second order to make sure the first one is safe.
What I mean is, that I'm occupied with the birthday order that I can't travel with Arceus' order to make sure it's safe.
And this is where you two come in."
The two looked at each other, then back at Kyurem.
"I... want you two to travel with the cart of Ice Cream to the portal, through it, and to the Ice Room, to ensure that no one try steal it, especially Mew."
Keldeo looked at Kyurem, intently.
Meloetta looked over at Keldeo, curiously.
Finally, Keldeo nodded.
"Fine. I'll protect the cart."
Meloetta turned to Kyurem.
"So will I."
Kyurem nodded in response.
"Good."
He turned round.
"The cart was already prepared before I asked you, and some Cryogonals are guarding it.
I'll tell them that you are guiding them."
Kyurem walked off, leaving the two.
"I wonder if Kyurem is responsible for the creation of Vanillite and it's evolutions..." mused Keldeo.
Keldeo and Meloetta are now with the cart.
The cart is a regularly hay cart, to be pushed by Ponytas.
Inside the cart is a vary of coloured Ice Cream, and on the top, are several pieces of Nevermeltice.
Keldeo is pushing the cart, since he's strong enough.
Some Cryogonals are helping him push, while the rest are scouring the area for possible enemies.
"Isn't this nice?" asked Meloetta.
Keldeo nodded.
"These Cryogonals are very loyal to Kyurem." he stated. "Either that or they're scared."
Meloetta nodded.
"Cry!" went one of the Cryogonals.
"Is it me..." started Keldeo, suspiciously. "Or did Kyurem seem embarrassed that we learned that he makes Ice Cream?"
"Yeah..." murmured Meloetta. "I guess it has something to do with his pride..."
"Huh?"
"I can guess from all the Cryogonals he leads, plus he's quite powerful suggests that Kyurem has a lot of pride.
I think he's embarrassed that he makes Ice Cream.
Maybe he thinks it's girly or something."
"Huh. How did you figure that out?"
"Elementary, my dear Kelde!"
"Is that a Sherlock Holmes reference?"
"Yes, it is. Read it?"
"No, I haven't.
I've only read training manuals or historical.
I've only read about one fiction book."
"What's that?"
"'The Three Musketeers.'"
"Wait, what?!"
"It's a VERY good book. I recommended it."
"Isn't that based off y-"
"CRY!"
Keldeo instantly snapped towards one of the Cryogonals.
This Cryogonal seems kinda frightened.
Some of the other Cryogonals began to surround it, in some weird language of their's, to ask what is the matter.
Suddenly, all the Cryogonals went in a frenzy of panic.
All of them started to fly around, all panicking.
"What's got them in a panic?!" yelled Keldeo, as the Cryogonals besides also went into a panic.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW?!" screamed Meloetta.
Keldeo stared at Meloetta.
"Somebody's getting tired..." he whispered to himself.
Meloetta looked round, irritability.
You would too, if sentient snowflakes were flying round, panicking.
Meloetta closed her eyes, to concentrate.
"Right... What's causing you guys to panick...?"
"What are you doing, Meloetta?" asked Keldeo.
"I can detect rhythm in a bad situation." she stated, eyes still closed.
"Everything is living by a beat, and these Cryogonals are on a higher beat.
What ever is causing them to panic, is among us, which is making the Cryogonals.
I can detect this beat..."
Meloetta opened her eyes, looking slightly scared.
"I found it, but what ever it is, it's coming this way!"
"WHAT?!"
"VOLCAR!"
Suddenly, a massive insect appeared.
It has four small feet.
It has six leaf-like wings that are orange in color and have small black spots.
Its eyes appear to be compound and are two shades of blue.
The fuzz on its body is a smoky white and in tangles.
Its abdomen is black in the center and a pattern of light blue with black dots on the outside.
This is a Volcarona.
"Vol!" cried the Volcarona.
"Eh?" went Keldeo, confused. "A Volcarona?
What's that doing here?
I thought they like hot places...?"
"They do." affirmed Meloetta. "I heard that bug types can be attracted by sweet things. I think this one is attracted to the Ice Cream, since it's sweet."
Keldeo nodded.
"I can know see why it's here, and why the Cryogonals are panicking."
"Huh?"
"Volcaronas are part fire types, and you can probably guess why the Cryogonals are panicking."
"Fire vs Ice. I can see now..."
Keldeo looked round at the situation.
"Well, the Cryogonals can't calm down until that goes."
He leapt from the cart, in front of Meloetta, and facing the Volcarona.
"I'll handle the Volcarona. Keep the cart safe."
Meloetta nodded.
Volcarona screeched, then sent a Fire Spin at Keldeo, who dodge, and retaliated with Aqua Jet.
Normally, Aqua Jet would do some damage, but since Volcarona is a fire type, it did do some more damage than usual.
The Volcarona flew back slightly in pain, winching.
It composed itself, then launched another attack.
It is Silver Wind, and it did some damaged.
Keldeo used Aqua Jet again, to dodge the attack, and to hit Volcarona.
This repeated for a while, with barrages of Fire Spins and Silver Wind from Volcarona and many Aqua Jets from Keldeo.
Volcarona got frustrated and used Bug Buzz.
Keldeo instantly used Waterfall on Volcarona.
It's super affective!
"VOL-CAR-ONA!" screamed the Volcarona, before flying away in pain.
"Huff... Puff..." went a tired Keldeo.
Meloetta clapped, in happiness.
"You did it, Kelde!"
"I...I guess I did..." huffed Keldeo.
Meloetta looked round to see that the Cryogonals are calming down.
She told Keldeo, who looked up, then smiled.
"Looks like everything is going back to normal."
Meloetta smiled.
"Yes, they are."
One week later...
Keldeo and Meloetta had successfully delivered the Ice Cream to the Ice Room.
They had ran into Mew in the Ice Room, wanting the Ice Cream, but Darkrai came along and kicked Mew out.
The Cryogonals had stayed behind at Giant Chasm, because they're not aloud in the Hall, obviously.
A week passed, and Articuno's birthday came.
Every Legendary is invited to the Party.
One of the rooms has been changed for the party.
Instead of the usual white, the room is ice blue. Various music is being played, and the room lowed to a comfortable temperature for the Ice type legends
Currently, the birthday boy is chatting to some other legends, while Keldeo and Meloetta are having some of the cake.
"You know..." went Keldeo, to Meloetta. "I have never actually eaten Ice Cream or Cake before."
"Really?" replied Meloetta.
"Yeah." affirmed Keldeo. "When I was adopted by the Swords, we spent a lot of time training, and we didn't eat more modern food.
To me, a dessert is Pecha berries.
We mainly ate berries, sometimes plants."
Meloetta nodded in agreement.
"I can see that. That explains your reaction when you first tried Chocolate."
"Because it was very sweet."
"Like you."
Keldeo blushed.
Suddenly, some stomps were heard, and Keldeo & Meloetta turned to see Kyurem approaching.
"Hey." said Kyurem nonchalantly.
"Hello, Kyurem." bowed Keldeo.
Kyurem blinked a couple of times.
"Eh..."
Meloetta cocked her head in confusing.
"What's the matter?"
"I..." started Kyurem. "...just want to say thanks..."
He sighed, then breathed in.
"The Cryogonals told me what happened. I have no idea where that Volcarnoa appeared from. I got Genesect to check around the area for any nests, since Genesect is the Bug legend, after all.
I ... never got a chance to say thanks for helping.
You have no idea how that helped me.
So,..."
"What's wrong?" asked Keldeo.
"I'm not very good at saying thanks,but.." said Kyurem. "Thank you. I appreciated it."
Keldeo smiled, and Meloetta grinned.
"Your welcome, Kyurem!" exclaimed Meloetta.
Kyurem turned round, and began to walk away.
But, as the Ice Dragon walked away, Keldeo swore he saw Kyurem smiling.
What Keldeo and Meloetta learned that even if a being seems very intimidating, they may do something unexpected, which changes your whole opinion of them.
They learned that Kyurem, who's intimidating, makes Ice Cream, which changed their whole view of the dragon.
The moral of the story is that there will always be surprises to the ones you know, and you should take as an every day thing.
Because, everyone needs to be chilled sometimes, right?
