Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 514 Keldeo: I Must Be Able! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Unova region, Kagome Town Pokémon Center.

"Thankfully, Teacher Jinghe, you stabilized its injuries, and it's fine now."

Miss Joy looked at Keldeo in the special treatment room and said.

Judging from Kailudio's condition, if Jinghe hadn't used Vitality Block and Waveguide, it probably wouldn't have been cured in just a few hours.

"It's okay."

With the high-tech resources and top-notch healing technology of the Pokémon Center, Keldeo quickly woke up.

However, when he found himself in a closed room, Keldeo showed obvious panic and made a move to bang his head against the glass.

But it stopped halfway through its movement, seemingly because it remembered that the sharp horn on its head had broken off.

That horn was Keldeo's "sword," and like all "sacred swordsmen," now that the horn is broken, it's as if the sword is broken.

For any true swordsman, the sword is his life, and the sword is broken, so is the man. Nothing is more demoralizing than having your sword broken by your opponent in battle.

After receiving Miss Joey's permission, Jinghe hurriedly entered the special treatment room.

Every Pokémon Center has one of these special treatment rooms, and the construction cost is not low. If Keldeo destroys it, who will be held responsible?

call!
Upon seeing Jing He, Keldeo suddenly turned around and looked at Jing He in an attack stance.

"Who are you?!"

Its slightly immature voice echoed in Jinghe's mind.

However, as soon as the question was asked, Keldeo seemed to realize something, slowly retracting its attack stance and speaking again:
"You are... the person who saved me before?"

It's good that you still remember.

Jinghe spread her arms in front of her chest to indicate that she meant no harm, and then tried to contact Keldeo using her waveguide.

A familiar waveguide.
He truly is my savior!

"Thank you for saving me!"

Keldeo completely abandoned his attack stance and said with gratitude.

As a "righteous swordsman," gratitude was the first thing it learned.

Jinghe also relaxed slightly, indicating that the Gengar in the shadows behind him no longer needed to be on guard.

"Please! Please help me! Save the 'Holy Swordsmen'!"

Keldeo seemed to have grasped at a straw and hurriedly cried out.

If Keldeo weren't considered Ash's Pokémon, it would be surprising if it didn't even bother to verify if the person it was asking for help was a good person or capable of providing assistance.

It was just lucky that it encountered Jinghe.

"Don't be impatient yet."

Jinghe pressed her hand down and gave Kailudio a waveguide to soothe and calm it down.

I must say, waveguides really work.
"Well"

Keldeo squinted his eyes and let out a soft, comfortable hum.

"Tell me slowly and clearly what happened." Jing He's calm tone provided Keldeo with a peaceful environment.

"It's all my fault."

After being comforted, Keldeo spoke with a look of regret.

It all started with Kyurem.

Not many people know that Kyurem lives in the Cavern of Giants, because the place is a ruin, and the huge cavern is like a maze, making it difficult for unfamiliar people to get out.

Furthermore, at some unknown time, the Giant's Cave became perpetually cold, and without sufficient protection against the cold, venturing too deep could even lead to death from freezing.

If it had just been like this, it wouldn't have been so bad, since the Giant's Cave was a ruin, and it was frozen, so it was frozen.

but.

Kyurem is incredibly powerful; its icy aura attracted a large number of Ice-type Pokémon. With Kyurem's Ice-type power combined with so many Ice-type Pokémon...
The chill emanated from the Giant's Cave and spread to the surrounding area, greatly impacting the living environment of the wild Pokémon.

Ever since.

The three "Swordsmen"—Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion—who protect Pokémon and safeguard peace, travel to Giant's Cave on behalf of the wild Pokémon to attempt to negotiate with Kyurem.

Hopefully, Kyurem will tone it down a bit and keep the chill within the Giant's Cave.

After all, the area of ​​the Giant's Cave is actually quite large.

But right.

Kyurem is not so easy to talk to.

Therefore, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Kyurem engaged in battle.

As their "disciple" or student, Keldeo developed a strange confidence in itself after so long of training, believing that it could help its three teachers.

final result
When he finally stood before Kyurem, Keldeo realized his own weakness.

It fought back fiercely, but its head and horns were easily severed.

Its "sword" was severed.

more importantly.

In order to protect it, the three "Holy Swordsmen" were injured by Kyurem's attack.

Listening to Keldeo's remorseful account, Jinghe gently rested her chin on her hand.

There are some differences between this and the theatrical version he has seen.
"So, Gopaleon, Terakion, and Virizion were frozen by Kyurem?" Jinghe asked.

"Yes."

But what Kailudio said next surprised Jinghe.

"However, Gopaleon and the others were frozen by Kyurem because they wanted to protect Kyurem."

Ok?
"Genga?"

Gengar, having heard the whole story, also came out.

It scratched its head.

The more you talk, the less I understand.
Weren't the three "Holy Swordsmen" attacked by Kyurem while protecting you?
Keldeo's face showed even greater shame. "Actually... I didn't see Kyurem at all."

It wanted to help, but because the cold fog and snow were too thick, it couldn't even see Kyurem's shadow before it was injured.

Gengar's expression had just turned a little strange when Jing He quickly covered it up by rubbing it a couple of times. He continued asking with an unchanged expression:
"So what did you mean when you said that Gopaleon and the others were frozen to protect Kyurem?"

Keldeo, oblivious to Gengar's change in expression, lowered its head and slowly said:
"Because, because then another group of Pokémon came in, and their target seemed to be Kyurem."

It paused.

"The battle between Kyurem and Gopaleon has depleted their strength, and they are taking advantage of their vulnerability!"

That's how Jinghe gradually came to understand.

Initially, it was Kyurem fighting against Cobalion and the others. Although it was one against three, it was a "fair" battle as agreed.

Later, Keldeo barged in, angering Kyurem, who believed that the "Swordsmen" were untrustworthy.

In order to protect Keldeo, the "Holy Swordsmen" had no choice but to fight with all their might.

At this moment.

Another group of unknown Pokémon entered. They were quite powerful and took advantage of Kyurem's weakened state, attempting to join forces with the three "Saint Swordsmen" to deal with Kyurem.

but.

They never expected that the "Holy Swordsmen" possessed a "heart of justice".

Kyurem believed that the intrusion of Keldeo and the intrusion of the unknown Pokémon were brought in by the three "Saint Swordsmen".

However, the "Holy Swordsmen" demonstrated their commitment to justice and their remorse towards Kyurem through their actions.

Even when they were injured, they desperately helped Kyurem fight against the invading unknown Pokémon.

Finally, Kyurem was moved by their sense of justice and froze them when they were about to give up, as a form of recognition and protection.

The "Holy Swordsmen" earned Kyurem's trust through their actions.

But it has put them all in a difficult situation.

Keldeo eventually escaped from Kyurem's battle with the group of Pokémon, because Cobalion and the others had asked it to seek help before they were frozen.

Whether the intention was to get Keldeo to seek help or to give it an excuse to escape remains unknown.

Perhaps the reason why the three future "Holy Swordsmen" were able to reach an agreement with Kyurem to train Keldeo was because they had gone through hardships together.
After listening, Jinghe had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

The unknown Pokémon that Keldeo mentioned are most likely Genesect and its companions.

With their perfect teamwork, the combination of Bug and Steel types makes it hard to say whether these five doubly resistant to Dragon and Ice types.

If we add the technology and power of the Plasma Team...
The plasma team might have already succeeded!

"tsk"

Jinghe put her hands behind her head and leaned her body slightly backward.

If that's the case, then there's a really big problem.

"Can you help them?" Keldeo looked at Jinghe and Gengar expectantly.

This is no longer a question of whether or not to help; it's that he needs to go and check on things.

on the one hand.

Genesect and the others were also there. Since Jinghe had promised to help them through Polygonus Type B, he still wanted to give it a try.

on the other hand.

Determine the status of Kyurem and see if Team Plasma has succeeded.

If the plasma team hasn't succeeded yet, then stop them.

If Team Plasma has already succeeded, help Keldeo free the three "Holy Swordsmen," who should be able to provide some assistance as well.

Therefore, Jinghe made a decision quickly.

"Can you move now?" Jing He slowly stood up and asked with a slightly serious expression.

"can!"

Keludio gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet.

If it weren't for it, the "Holy Swordsmen" wouldn't have fought Kyurem to that extent, only to be caught off guard and attacked.
It has to be possible!
"Genga."

Gengar nodded slightly to Keldeo, as if to express its approval.

He can take responsibility, and even if he's a bit reckless, he's still a decent guy.

"Teacher Jinghe, it hasn't recovered yet."

Seeing that Jinghe was about to take Kailudio away, Miss Joey said with some concern.

"I know."

Jing He looked at Kailudio, who was walking with a slight limp, and said earnestly:

"But I think it's possible."

Ok?
Kailudio suddenly looked up at Jinghe.

It can.
These three words pierced deeply into Keldeo's heart.

It followed Gopalooung, Derakion, and Biligion in their spiritual practice.

Although the "Holy Swordsmen" taught it everything they knew and took good care of it, they always said to it:

It's not time yet, Keldeo; you still need to train, Keldeo; there's still so much for you to learn, Keldeo.
Keldeo knew they were doing it for his own good.

But
They never seem to have explicitly expressed their approval of it.

It was precisely for this "affirmation" that Keldeo attempted to intervene in the duel between the "Holy Swordsmen" and Kyurem.

As a result, it messed up.

But after hearing its story, the person in front of it not only didn't look down on it or even laugh at it, but instead thought it could...
This is also a simple profile that Jinghe made of Keldeo during the conversation just now, based on its words and expressions—it lacks recognition.

Keludio nodded emphatically to Jinghe and Miss Joey.

I can!
I must be able to!
