As Kyurem broke free from its slumber, the Swords of Justice unleashed a trio of Sacred Swords directly at the ancient dragon.
Three gleaming white blades of energy slashed across Kyurem's hide, drawing a sharp, pained howl from the beast.
In response, a torrent of pale blue cryogenic air erupted from Kyurem's maw.
The moment the Swords of Justice came into contact with the freezing blast, they were instantly encased in thick blocks of solid ice.
"The Swords of Justice are frozen solid. Let's see who else thinks they can stand in my way."
"Kyurem truly is the ultimate dragon. Whoever commands Kyurem becomes the undisputed master of the Unova region."
Ghetsis still held his most devastating trump card close to his chest, waiting for the right moment.
"Kyurem, awaken the ice legion! We march on Opelucid City!"
"Once we wipe out the Dragon Clan, Team Plasma will rise to become the supreme power across all of Unova."
Hearing Ghetsis's command, Kyurem unleashed a thunderous, earth-shaking roar.
Countless jagged icicles erupted from its body.
Shattering crystals materialized all around the dragon, and as they burst open, hordes of Ice-type Pokémon poured forth.
Cryogonal and Beartic roared as they charged wildly toward Opelucid City.
The sheer endless tide of Ice-type Pokémon swept forward like a frozen wave.
"Father, stop this madness!"
At that exact moment, a dark shadow streaked across the sky accompanied by a crisp, resonant dragon's cry.
A pristine white dragon soared into view.
N sat atop the dragon's back, his eyes laced with deep anxiety as he gazed down at the newly freed Kyurem.
Reshiram immediately sensed N's intent.
It opened its jaws and unleashed a searing, incandescent ball of fire.
The fiery orb plummeted toward the ground below.
With a blinding flash of white light, a massive mushroom cloud erupted from the earth, vomiting forth endless sheets of flame.
The raging firestorm instantly spread in all directions, swallowing Kyurem's spawned Pokémon whole in a blazing sea of fire.
"You ungrateful wretch! Why must you always interfere with my plans at a time like this?" Ghetsis roared in fury.
"Kyurem, hold nothing back! Teach this ungrateful brat a lesson he won't forget!"
A flash of ruthless anger crossed Ghetsis's eyes as he realized N had severely disrupted his grand design.
Kyurem parted its jaws, and towering walls of solid ice instantly thrust up from the earth.
These massive ramparts absorbed the punishing shockwave of the fiery explosion.
The blast shattered several of the ice walls in rapid succession before finally running out of momentum.
The ground was left scorched and blackened, while the Ice-type Pokémon caught within the shockwave melted instantly into slush.
A massive, spiral-shaped crater was gouged into the earth, hissing with billowing clouds of scalding white steam.
Kyurem's entire ice legion had been wiped out in a single blow—a testament to the terrifying majesty of a legendary Pokémon.
"What's happening? Why is the ground shaking so violently?"
"Look toward the Glacial Chasm! Half of the ice and snow is gone!"
"No way... Kyurem has awakened!"
Panic swept rapidly through the ranks of the Dragon Clan.
Kyurem stared down at the spiderweb of cracks fracturing its ice walls.
With a furious roar, it pulverized the barriers into a shower of glittering ice dust.
Then, it expelled a brutal blast of super-cooled air.
Countless massive hail-stones materialized in midair.
Spinning violently, the razor-sharp chunks of ice hurtled through the sky straight toward Reshiram.
"Reshiram, dodge the incoming icicles!" N shouted urgently.
Reshiram beat its magnificent wings, easily weaving around the barrage, but the falling ice had never been meant for Reshiram alone.
The massive hail was raining down directly in the direction of Opelucid City.
If those projectiles struck the city, the casualties would be catastrophic.
"Zekrom, use Thunderbolt!"
A massive surge of electricity descended from the heavens, wrapping around the falling ice like crackling dragons. One by one, the massive icicles shattered like glass under the heavy voltage.
"Zekrom is here too," Ghetsis muttered, his expression turning dark and sour.
"Vio, I never thought you'd actually betray Team Plasma in the end. You betrayed us all."
Ghetsis's sharp eyes immediately spotted Vio riding atop Zekrom's back.
"Ghetsis, is your goal really to destroy the Dragon Clan?" Vio fixed his gaze firmly on Ghetsis.
"That's right, Vio. Wasn't the Dragon Clan nothing more than a cage to you anyway?"
"Wouldn't it be much better if I simply tore it down?"
"I heard that the Second Elder has already stirred up war within the Dragon Clan. How is it that you have the leisure to come running over here?" Ghetsis taunted coldly.
"The Second Elder has already been dealt with, Ghetsis. If you don't want to be humiliated, you should retreat right now."
"The Unova region will never fall into your hands. Give up on your ambitions once and for all." Feng Che stepped forward, staring directly at Ghetsis.
"Unova won't fall into my hands? And it'll fall into the hands of a brat like you instead?"
"A wet-behind-the-ears kid like you has eaten more salt than you've ever drunk milk!"
"Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a Dragon-type Elite Four member in Unova."
"Even the Unova Champion has fallen before me; a mere Elite Four member is nothing at all."
"Kyurem, show our guests a proper welcome!"
Kyurem let out another earth-shattering roar, hurling itself back into the fray against Reshiram and Zekrom.
Though only recently unsealed and not yet at peak strength, Reshiram and Zekrom had also just awakened from their Dragon Stone slumber not long ago.
The three legendary dragons were evenly matched in a ferocious clash of titan might.
Feng Che and N leaped down from the backs of Zekrom and Reshiram.
Using Teleport, Feng Che instantly transported himself and Vio to a spot not far from Ghetsis.
N summoned a Swanna, descending smoothly from the sky to land nearby.
"N, I raised you with painstaking effort. Is this how you repay me?" Ghetsis leaned heavily on his cane, his face twisted in displeasure.
"Father, thank you for raising me, but you shouldn't have released Kyurem. It will destroy the entire Unova region," N said, his heart heavy with reluctance.
"Ha! It's just a tiny region. Let it be destroyed—it's nothing to me," Ghetsis laughed maniacally.
"To think the child I adopted would dare betray me. You've betrayed Team Plasma as well."
Ghetsis swept his arms outward in a sharp gesture.
The earth beneath them trembled violently.
The airships of the remaining Five Sages burst upward from beneath the soil, forming a tight perimeter around Feng Che and N.
"Vio, Feng Che, N—since you've all walked right into the trap, don't even think about leaving. Let me play the gracious host."
"I will raze Opelucid City to the ground. Once I unite the power of the Tao Trio, forget the Unova region—ruling the entire world is well within my grasp."
"When that day comes, what is a Frontier Brain worth? Master-class trainers are nothing more than pathetic ants when faced with true divinities."
Ghetsis burst into wild, unhinged laughter.
"The rest of the Sages! Intercept Vio, Feng Che, and N right here!"
Climbing aboard a ferocious Hydreigon, Ghetsis hovered above the battlefield, eagerly watching the titanic clash unfold between Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom.
