It is said that human history was meant to follow a third path equally at odds with both sides of the age-old struggle between idealism and realism, but no one ever learned what it was. The reason for this is that while Reshiram and Zekrom have battled constantly, for thousands of years Kyurem was left frozen in its own ice.
A few individuals, dissatisfied by each faction, have sought to resurrect Kyurem and follow its cause in its stead, but because Kyurem was frozen before the advent of writing in Unova, there was little agreement as to what Kyurem actually stood for. The honest attempted to solve the problem with philosophy, attempting to find Kyurem's positions in what Reshiram and Zekrom both feared and opposed; the dishonest projected their own ideas onto a god and used Kyurem's name to attract a following. Kyurem movements have arisen countless times in human history, yet apart from veneration of and attempts to thaw Kyurem, and a hostility to both of the other dragons, they have had little in common with one another.
The most recent conflict between Reshiram and Zekrom was so intense that it melted Kyurem's ice, and Unova at last learned to their surprise where the third great dragon stood. Kyurem, in truth, is not an eternal third pole, but a dragon of peace and harmony, who sought kind relations with both sides; indeed, it is capable of fusing with either of the other two, but has been reluctant to do so for fear of tipping the balance of power in their favor. Kyurem sealed itself in ice because it wanted no part of the dragons' proxy conflict, yet was powerless to prevent them from seeking its power, and would rather withdraw from the world than stain its claws with blood.
