Giant Chasm.
Located in the northeasternmost corner of the Unova region, this massive meteor crater can theoretically be seen from the high platform in Lacunosa Town.
Alder and the others had now arrived here.
They continued to advance along the cave, but as they delved deeper, they could distinctly feel the temperature continuously dropping.
"This temperature is a bit low."
Wallace couldn't help but tighten his cloak, looking around.
They could even see a lot of accumulated snow and frost on the ground; the air temperature was very low now.
"Hmm, everyone be careful. We're not far from our destination."
Alder glanced at the map, with Volcarona floating beside him. The group continued forward.
After passing through another cave, a world of pristine white unfolded before their eyes.
This was an incredibly vast glacial canyon, with ice crystals covering the mountain walls on both sides, snow piled on the ground, and jagged ice crystal fragments.
"It's so beautiful~"
Wallace couldn't help but exclaim. This world of ice and snow was truly eye-opening.
"This is the place." Alder exhaled, and because of the low temperature, the white mist from his breath was clearly visible.
The group continued forward, and after walking for about a few minutes, they simultaneously stopped.
In mid-air, a large number of Cryogonal floated and circled, with snowflakes continuously falling. This scene was breathtakingly beautiful.
But when their gaze shifted downwards, it was a terrifying sight.
A colossal grey-blue Pokémon was resting prone on the ground, its overall shape resembling a ferocious Tyrannosaurus, with an ice-blue spiked nose, and its face and lower jaw were also ice-blue, like fractured Icicle Spear.
It had a long grey neck, two arms that appeared small in comparison to its body, two wings made of ice crystals—one long, one short—and a grey tail.
It was currently closing its eyes, seemingly in slumber, as the ice and snow stirred up by the Cryogonal slowly fell upon it, making its sleep more comfortable.
"Is this the strongest Dragon, Kyurem?"
Steven carefully observed this sleeping ice dragon. Undoubtedly, its appearance was not beautiful; in fact, it could be described as somewhat fierce and terrifying.
"What do we do next? Wake it up?"
Cynthia slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Kyurem, who was sleeping soundly, attended by the Cryogonal.
They definitely couldn't just throw a Poké Ball at Kyurem like they did with Groudon, as Groudon was in a very deep sleep at that time, which they had tested.
But who knew how deep Kyurem's sleep was?
Moreover, from the current known information, Kyurem did not have a good temper. The initial pursuit of Groudon was mainly to target Kyogre.
And it was known that Groudon and Kyogre did not have a good relationship, so even when Groudon woke up later, it first sought out Kyogre's trouble.
But Kyurem was different. Although Kyurem might not have a good relationship with the Black and White Dragons, what if?
"I think…"
Giovanni pondered for a moment, but just as he was about to say something more, his expression changed slightly.
A chilling sense of dread instantly swept through his body, making Giovanni even feel cold in his hands and feet.
This was the sensation of being targeted by a top predator.
Giovanni's pupils constricted as he looked forward. Indeed, at some unknown point, the sleeping ice dragon had opened its eyes, its terrible, pupil-less eyes, gleaming with golden light, staring emotionlessly at them, these uninvited humans.
"Be careful!"
Steven's pupils shrank, and he immediately gripped the Poké Ball in his hand.
"Roar~!!"
Kyurem's low, violent dragon roar echoed throughout the entire glacial canyon, reverberating between the canyon walls.
The Cryogonal in the air hummed softly, startled, and drifted away unsteadily.
The colossal ice dragon slowly stood up, its incomparably cold dragon eyes looking down at Alder and the others.
A group of humans actually dared to come to its territory and disturb its sleep. Were they tired of living?
Kyurem glanced at Giovanni. If it hadn't sensed a strong aura from this person, it would have swept them away with an Ice Beam instantly.
But even so, it was not in a good mood at the moment.
A dense, tangible freezing aura slowly emanated and diffused from Kyurem's body. The temperature here visibly dropped further, so low that it made people shiver involuntarily.
But compared to the temperature, the gaze of this wild ice dragon was a far more terrifying presence.
That heavy, temperatureless gaze, and the terrifying, oppressive atmosphere that almost made one's heart stop, permeated their entire bodies and the air.
What a terrifying oppressive force!!
Wallace even felt his breathing about to stop.
"Kyurem, we did not intend to disturb your slumber."
Alder, suppressing the frantic alarm in his heart, spoke to Kyurem in a deep voice.
"We came specifically to find you this time because we wish to ask for your help. Afterwards, no matter what you…"
"Roar!!"
However, before Alder could finish speaking, Kyurem let out a violent roar at Alder and the others.
The fierce wind generated by the roar, like a storm, howled with ice and snow, making Alder and the others unable to open their eyes, and their bodies were almost blown away.
This was merely a single roar!
Volcarona immediately blocked Alder and the others, extending a Protect barrier.
Kyurem's icy gaze remained unchanged. Its golden eyes, devoid of any emotion, were like those of a merciless deity.
"What do we do? It seems it doesn't want to communicate with us at all."
Wallace asked in a low voice.
Undoubtedly, Kyurem's roar just now was unmistakably a warning and an expulsion.
If they continued to stay here, Kyurem might directly attack them.
It could even be said that Kyurem warning them first already indicated that Kyurem was giving them a chance.
But… should they just leave like this?
Alder was still a bit unwilling, having finally found Kyurem with such difficulty.
A few more seconds passed, and Kyurem's aura grew increasingly agitated, with impatience appearing in its eyes.
Ice-blue freezing aura continuously flowed out with its breath.
"Kyurem, these are your treasures, aren't they?"
Alder took out the DNA Splicers from his bag.
Kyurem's dragon eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the Splicers in Alder's hand. These were indeed its belongings.
However, these DNA Splicers had been lost more than two thousand years ago, and because it didn't really need them, Kyurem had simply been too lazy to go look for them.
It hadn't expected them to return now.
"Kyurem, I am returning this to you. Please help us this one time." Alder said in a deep voice.
Kyurem looked down at this human. The DNA Splicers shimmered with a faint light, floated up, and drifted to Kyurem's back, inserting into the spikes at the tip of Kyurem's wings and disappearing.
Seeing this, Alder's heart filled with joy. Did Kyurem agree?
But the next moment…
"Get out."
A low, rough telepathic voice echoed in Alder and the others' ears, causing them to freeze.
This was Kyurem's telepathy? But these words…
"Since you brought the DNA Splicers back, get out. I won't kill you."
Kyurem's low voice sounded again. It no longer wanted to waste words; it just wanted to continue sleeping soundly.
And this domineering attitude undoubtedly revealed Kyurem's personality.
Wallace looked at Kyurem in shock. Holy crap!
No, you took the DNA Splicers, and then you told us to get lost?
Even Mammon believes in fair trade, but you, Kyurem, do things like this? A bandit?
Alder fell silent. Clearly, he hadn't expected this outcome either.
But he did not repeat his request from before. It was very clear that Kyurem would not help them.
Although he felt very unwilling, what could be done?
"Kyurem, what will it take for you to help us?" Giovanni spoke with a magnetic voice, the green light of Tokiwa Power illuminating.
With the natural breath of Tokiwa Power, even if Kyurem was extremely irritable, it wouldn't directly attack them out of impatience.
"I'm not interested in your human trivial matters."
Kyurem squinted at Giovanni, its tone full of disdain.
Yes, it was not at all interested in the intentions of these humans, and as for stating its own demands? Equally uninterested.
Having lost the 'Truth' and 'Ideals' within its body, Kyurem had become completely uninterested in many things, because they were meaningless.
In fact, Kyurem even looked down on its own 'compatriots'.
Those two dragons, day after day, fighting over those ridiculous 'Truth' and 'Ideals'—it was too idiotic.
"Even if it's related to Reshiram and Zekrom?" Giovanni did not give up.
But Kyurem's golden eyes showed impatience.
"Do not test my patience, human. Get out."
"Kyurem, also a Legendary Pokémon left after the Dragon God split, yet the world only knows Zekrom and Reshiram, while your name remains unknown."
"Human!!"
As if provoked, Kyurem's terrifying golden eye-light suddenly flared, and it opened its massive maw, instantly spewing forth a violent Ice Beam.
An Ice-type Ice Beam!
The thick Ice Beam pierced through the air, coming incredibly fast.
"Groudon!"
Giovanni immediately pressed the Poké Ball in his hand.
A flash of white light, and the Ruler of the Earth appeared in front of Giovanni and the others, extending its arm to block the Ice Beam.
Crack! Crack!~
However, unexpectedly, Kyurem's freezing ability was terrifyingly beyond imagination.
Starting from its arm, ice crystals rapidly spread across Groudon's entire body.
In just two seconds, Groudon's entire body was completely frozen, turning into a colossal ice statue.
Seeing this, including Giovanni, everyone was shocked.
This…
"Foolish humans, since you refuse to leave, then all of you shall turn into ice sculptures and remain here."
Kyurem's golden dragon eyes were incomparably cold, and its low telepathic voice was filled with violence.
Time and again, did they think Kyurem's words were just farts?
Just then, a scorching red light emanated from the frozen Groudon, and the ice crystals on Groudon's body surface rapidly melted.
This sudden scene made Kyurem turn its gaze towards Groudon.
"Roar!!"
A 'Ω' phantom formed by red light flashed, and the even larger, lava-like Primal Groudon roared at Kyurem.
Damn it!
How dare you freeze me!!
Primal Reversion!
And with the appearance of Primal Groudon, a dazzling, scorching sunlight shone down from above the glacial canyon.
Under the scorching sunlight, the ice crystals and frost within the glacial canyon all began to melt.
Noticing this, Kyurem fixed its temperatureless gaze on Primal Groudon, its eyes growing colder and colder.
A cluster of lightning ignited from Kyurem's tail, instantly flashing across Kyurem's entire body.
"Roar!!"
A violent, ferocious roar echoed throughout the entire canyon, and a colossal, grey-black, bipedal dragon-like Pokémon appeared in its place.
Its physique was extremely robust, with one wing and arm black, and the other icy, and its tail was a black turbine.
Dark Kyurem!
"It transformed."
Steven frowned. Undoubtedly, this form of Kyurem was much stronger than before!
Dark Kyurem slowly floated up into the air, looking down at Primal Groudon, a massive and heavy dragonic presence permeating the air.
The two Legendaries confronted each other, and the entire glacial canyon was engulfed beneath the pressure of the two Legendaries.
The group of Cryogonal were now hiding in a corner, trembling. They could feel that Kyurem was truly getting angry.
"I wonder if Primal Groudon is a match for Kyurem…"
Wallace looked at the two Legendaries, whose atmosphere was growing increasingly dangerous, with some concern.
"Speaking of which, why does it feel like all these powerful Legendaries can 'transform'?"
