Cut to scene: Nimbasa City. Enter Dawn, Giratina and Shaymin. Shaymin and Giratina are both sparring now, Shaymin exchanging harder blows. Eventually, Giratina knocks Shaymin to the ground, but she gets right back up. After another minute, Giratina knocks Shaymin down and puts his foot down on her.)

Giratina: Did you really believe that could defeat me? You silly girl. No matter how passionate and devoted you are, you will never defeat me; you're not strong enough to stand with me in the caliber of strength and power, and never will be. That's the way it is, and you have to accept that little goddess… no matter how much you want revenge. But even so, don't let these truths discourage you. In fact, I am very proud of you.

Shaymin: You are?

Giratina: I am proud of you, Shaymin. Here within this place, you have shown me just how strong and brave you really are. You had lived within fear for so long, and yet you quickly rose up against it… even after my harsh words and cruel actions. I am the monster you fear, and yet you were able to stand up against me so quickly. Hopefully now, you realize just how courageous you truly are. You may never defeat me, but you have definitely defeated the monster you see.

(Shaymin hugs Giratina.)

Shaymin: You're not a monster! You're not a monster!

Dawn: I'm glad this issue has been solved. Way to go, both of you.


(Exit Dawn, Giratina and Shaymin. Cut to scene: Lacunosa Town. Enter Regirock, Regice and Registeel.)

Registeel: It seems Kyurem knows we're here; it is as if this ominous mist is an alluring beacon daring for us to come closer.

Regirock: It may seem so; however that is not the case. According to our young friend Victini, this icy mist has existed for over five hundred years – time which coincides with the moment of Kyurem's split, and when Reshiram, Zekrom and those splicers were born. Because this mist has been around for so many centuries, folktales sprout from its existence… one such folktale of a human and Pokémon eating demon.

Regice: That human- and- Pokémon eating demon being Kyurem, no doubt… I wonder how many travelers became most within its seductive mist over the years. This cloud of ice is nothing natural: it is a haunting chill, which leads me to feel rather concerned about our assigned mission of reconnaissance.

Regirock: What lies within that chill, is the heart of our enemy. It will be a dangerous task but someone has to do it, if we are to be one step ahead of our opponents. I believe Victini was wise to put her trust in us… let us not let her down.


(Exit Regirock, Regice and Registeel. Cut to scene: Pokémon Center. Enter Serena.

Serena: A play… you're going to be performing in a play…?

Ash (O.S): Yep. It's Keldeo's condition: we help him save the play he has dedicated so much of himself to, then he'll move on with us finding the other Unova legendaries. We don't have a choice really… so why not have a little fun while we're doing it? And besides, we only have three more to find so it's all good!

Serena: That's so like you, Ash: laid back and irresponsible, having a good time within hard challenging times… and confident while doing so. You haven't changed, have you?

Ash (O.S): Serena, you haven't given up until the end, just as I asked of you…

Serena: And I'm glad I followed your advice. So… when is opening night?

Ash (O.S): In just under five days. We've got a lot of work to do.

Serena: Well, I guess we'd better get things over and done with here, so we can go see it. No way am I missing you make a fool of yourself on stage! Just kidding. You're going to be fabulous! You know, I miss you, Ash.

Ash (O.S): I miss you too, Serena. Be careful out there, okay. I'll see you soon.

(Enter Misty, Brock, Suicune, Kyogre, Cheren, Articuno, Riley and Uxie. Serena goes to join the group.)

Serena: Wow, Riley! I had no idea you were Ash's father!

Riley: Ash's Aura abilities have grown stronger. I've started to see signs in Anna too.

Misty: Hey guys! What are you talking about? I was in the bathroom.

Brock: Battle strategies and ethics. Our young friend here seems to pursue the ideals of strength.

Misty: Don't tell me he's another 'Kamon'…

Cheren: Hey, what do you mean by that?

Riley: Actually Misty, it's completely different. See, when Kamon used to believe that Pokémon just only had to be strong to win battles, Cheren also knows that there needs to be something backing up that strength. I guess pursuing the 'knowledge of strength' is the best way to describe our friend here. What is true strength and what does it mean to be truly strong – that's what this guy is all about.

Cheren: I see. Well, there is no denying that a Pokémon needs to be strong. A Pokémon will always need strength to win a battle. It's the atheistic on how you use that strength that you need to pay attention to. Do you use that strength to achieve battle equality, or to just completely dominate? Are you gracious with that strength, or are you absolutely violent with your strategy… or no strategy at all.

Brock: Cheren… Why do you pursue strength?

Cheren: What, you know Adler or something? He asked me the very same thing during the middle of my journey. Why do I peruse strength? For what reason do I want to become stronger? The truth is I still don't know. I guess… I seek strength for the sake of it. I just want to become the strongest.

Brock: Well… For whatever the reason, you seem to have a good enough head on you to want it from the right reasons. Just keep looking for that right path until you finally find it.

(Kyogre and Suicune approach the group.)

Kyogre: I believe it is about time to discuss our next move.

Suicune: The sooner we have a plan of action the better.

Brock: Alright, let's get to it.

(They all sit down.)

Brock: Articuno, as an Ice type, your eyes should be able to see through any sort of icy mist, right…?

Articuno (Disappointed): Yes. You're going to make me work, aren't you?

Brock: Sorry Arianna, but everyone's gotta pitch in including you. We'll have you first scout the area through the air so we can get some sort of idea what we will be walking into. I will go with you and mark out a safe path that avoids all the hazards we find.

Suicune: I can scout from the ground, if you'll allow me. As the Being of Winds, I also have to power to see through mist… even dissolve myself within it becoming completely invisible.

Brock: And if you'd like, I can also clear the mist out to create a visible path for when we begin our venture…

Suicune: Clearing out sections for a path might cause alarm, so it'll probably best to avoid that if we can. We need to be completely incognito. When it comes to the worst and we do get lost, we'll have you do just that so we can get back on the path.

Brock: Very well, then how you propose we venture through that mist in the meantime?

Kyogre: We have a map and compass provided by Victini. And it's not that we'll be going in completely bind; the mist is not that thick, so we'll still be able to make out shapes of the forest surrounding us. This is just routine precaution – better safe than sorry right?

Serena: So when do we start?

Kyogre: Articuno, Suicune and I will head out tonight to secure a safe path. The rest of you just go around town and collect information. See if anyone knows what's going on up there… as well as what's going on here in town.

Cheren: Well, we better get started then. This town has an after hour curfew and the sun is due to set in a couple of hours.

Kyogre: All right then, let's go.

(Everyone exits but Brock, Uxie, Riley, Suicune and Articuno.)

Cheren: These old stories sure do have this town by the throat, don't they?

Uxie: The rest of Unova have just passed them off as old imaginative stories with little evidence backing them up. They're just tourist attractions promoting the town. I guess until you have actually lived in Lacunosa, you'll never truly understand how influential these stories are.

Kyogre: Despite their lack of authenticity, there is still truth behind them. I for one do not believe in a human and Pokémon eating monster… however there is one beyond that mist that has potential to fill that description. These are folktales about Kyurem wandering into this town during unique past occasions. That is the only explanation.

Riley: An old lady at the top of the town told me that during the time of legend, the monster would appear in the village at night bringing a cold wind with it. That totally sounds like Kyurem. I wonder if this town actually knows what the monster of legend really is. We're outsiders and we already know that it's Kyurem. It's gotta be him…

(Enter Groudon, Cheren and Misty)

Groudon: Don't forget that this legend has been passed down for over five hundred years. It may be that during the course of that time, the monster's identity was forgotten. Also, Victini said that if we were to mention Kyurem's name today, no one would have any idea what we're talking about. Kyurem has been completely forgotten… this being one of the main reasons he seeks revenge.

Cheren: Now knowing that, I can understand why he's so full of rage and wants to end it all… But that doesn't excuse him for doing it.


(Exit Brock, Uxie, Riley, Suicune, Articuno, Groudon, Cheren and Misty. Cut to scene: Nimbasa Theatre. Enter Hilda, Zekrom, Diancie, Hoopa, Shaymin, Victini and Keldeo.)

Hilda: We were pretty good today, Zekrom.

Zekrom: I know, right?

Diancie: I so can't wait to perform!

Hoopa: I couldn't agree more. I'm psyched!

Victini: Hey, uh… you look… you look good, Shaymin…

Shaymin: Thanks…

Diancie: Hey, why don't we head off to the amusement park after rehearsal and have some fun? We deserve a break after all the work we've put into this little play… let's tear it up for a while!

(Everyone exits but Keldeo. Virizion enters.)

Virizion: Hello, bro.
