[[File:PS515.png|thumb|200px|left|Cobalion congratulating Keldeo on mastering the sword]]
Kelden first appeared in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'' as a wild Pokémon, practicing its sword techniques on a stone in [[Pledge Grove]], waiting for {{p|Cobalion|its}} {{p|Terrakion|three}} {{p|Virizion|mentors}} to appear. The {{adv|Swords of Justice|three}} Pokémon soon arrive, communicating through telepathy, apologizing for their tardiness. Terrakion and Virizion have Keldeo begin its final test and ask it to equip itself with its own sword. Focusing on all of its past training's, it begins to focus all of its power into its forehead. Keldeo then creates a {{m|Sacred Sword|sword}} of energy that emerges from its horn and attacks the stone. Right before the sword can make contact, Keldeo loses its focus, and the sword disappears. Terrakion and Virizion laugh at the embarrassed Keldeo, and Terrakion states that Keldeo is very close to mastering the move, and promises to help it finish the final steps. Soon after, Keldeo perfects the move and receives praise from its three mentors. Cobalion wastes no time afterward, immediately having the group set off to find the [[Shadow Triad]], not wanting to remain ignorant of their evil deeds.
Kelden debuted in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]''. It was first seen at the [[Pledge Grove]], waiting for its masters, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}. Once they arrived, they tested Keldeo to see if it was worthy of joining their group. Keldeo tried to cut the boulder with its sword, only to lose concentration and mess up. Terrakion and Virizion laughed off the failed attempt and helped Keldeo practice so it could try again. After finishing the training, Keldeo successfully mastered its sword and added a new cut to the boulder. Afterward, Cobalion had the others follow it.


The group [[PS519|soon]] locates the Shadow Triad, watching them battle against [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]. Worried, Keldeo asks which group is the bad side. Cobalion responds by saying that a battle between humans has no good or bad sides. Keldeo senses that the Shadow Triad's Pokémon, while winning, are not enjoying the battle, in contrast to the [[Striaton]] [[Gym Leader]]s Pokémon. Sensing evil from the Shadow Triad and the building behind them, Keldeo jumps into the battle after requesting from its mentors to use its sword. Having permission, Keldeo attacks the Shadow Triad with its sword, easily pushing back their Pokémon. Happy over its supposed victory Keldeo lets its guard down and is attacked by the Shadow Triad's Pokémon, only to be saved by its mentors. Cobalion praises Keldeo's use of the sword, and informs it that it needs resolution in order to obtain the other sword. With the [[Swords of Justice]] defeating the Shadow Triad, they begin to leave the area. Not wanting such [[Legendary Pokémon|rare]] Pokémon to escape, they release their {{p|Genesect|secret weapon}}, which attacks the Swords of Justice with a powerful {{m|Techno Blast|beam}}. Keldeo's mentors jump in front of the beam to protect it and are frozen, sending them sinking to the waters below.
In ''[[PS519|Something Suspicious]]'', Keldeo and its masters arrived at the [[P2 Laboratory]], where they found the [[Shadow Triad]] in battle with the [[Striaton City]] [[Gym Leader]]s. When Keldeo asked which side was evil, Cobalion stated that battles between humans had no moral alignments. Sensing evil from the Shadow Triad, Keldeo stepped in to attack them with its sword, easily pushing back their Pokémon. The Shadow Triad retaliated once Keldeo let its guard down, forcing its masters to step in and protect it. Cobalion praised Keldeo's use of its sword, but informed that it order to obtain another sword, it needed to be resolute. Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion used their swords to send both the Shadow Triad and the Striaton Gym Leaders flying. As Keldeo and its masters left, the Shadow Triad had their secret weapon, {{p|Genesect}}, fire its {{m|Techno Blast}} on them. Keldeo's masters stepped in front of the blast to protect their student, but were frozen and fell into the sea.

[[PS529|Two years later]], Keldeo is found by {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Whitley}} in Pledge Grove, who were there looking for Pokémon to fill up their [[Pokédex]]es. Trying to keep the two away, Keldeo attacks with its sword, throwing the [[Trainer]]s off a cliff.

Later that night, Keldeo was approached by Blake, who offered to help Keldeo strengthen itself and acquire new techniques. Agreeing to help, Keldeo joined Blake's team and was [[nickname]]d Kelden.  


In ''[[PS532|Legendary Tornadus]]'', Blake sends out Kelden to assist {{TP|Blake|Dewott}} in its battle against [[Team Plasma]]'s {{adv|Tornadus}} in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Forme}}. Tornadus focuses on capturing [[Giallo]], while Dewott and Kelden work together to overwhelm the Cyclone Pokémon. To prevent Tornadus from escaping, Blake had Kelden attack with an {{m|Icy Wind}}, followed by Dewott's {{m|Razor Shell}}, {{status|freeze|freezing}} it solid. With Tornadus frozen, the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s retreat, returning Tornadus to its [[Poké Ball]] as they leave.

In ''[[PS538|Therian Forme III]]'', Blake sent out Kelden to chase after [[Colress]] and the [[Plasma Frigate]]. When Blake attempted to arrest [[Ghetsis]], the Shadow Triad appeared in order to defend their master. Kelden, recognizing the Shadow Triad from its previous encounter with them, proceeded to attack the three on its own, distracting Blake long enough for the Plasma Frigate to take off. Blake, unable to get Kelden to listen to him, is forced to return Kelden to its Ball after he manages to sneak aboard the ship. After realizing why Kelden was angry, Blake promises to help it take down the Shadow Triad and get its revenge after they arrest Ghetsis.

In ''[[PS540|Flying Ship]]'', Kelden battled Team Plasma on the Plasma Frigate. After defeating some Plasma Grunts, Kelden destroys the chamber containing {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} to prevent Colress from abusing its power. To Blake's shock, the chamber was empty, but before he could process anything, Kyurem appears and attacks the group. Kelden pushes Blake and Whitley out of the way, but gets frozen in the process. Colress appears and reveals that their efforts were in vain because the Plasma Frigate had already absorbed enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress then has Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley alongside Kelden and has them thrown into the ocean.

[[PS542|Soon after]], the group is unfrozen due a [[Aspear Berry]] that Blake gave to Kelden in preparation for their fight against Kyurem. Kelden then takes the group to the [[Abyssal Ruins]], following the voices of its mentors. Upon arriving, Kelden breaks the handcuffs linking Blake and Whitley and soon after finds its frozen mentors. The Colt Pokémon attempts to break them out with Sacred Sword but is unsuccessful. Kelden then goes back to Blake and waits for him to wake up. After waking up, Kelden and Blake discover that he can hear the Colt Pokémon's voice, which they believe is due to a special effect of the ruins. Kelden then takes its Trainer to its mentors and Blake has Genesect use a {{type|fire}} Techno Blast to free them, as an {{type|ice}} Techno Blast was what froze them. Once freed, Cobalion tells Kelden to stay with Blake and trust in the decision it had made to make him its Trainer.
Using an [[Aspear Berry]] given to it, Kelden broke free of the ice and took Blake and Whitley to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[PS542]], Blake awakened and discovered that he could understand Kelden's thoughts, which he attributed to a special effect of the ruins. Kelden took Blake to the frozen bodies of its masters, but revealed it was unable to break the ice. With a {{type|fire}} Techno Blast, Blake had Genesect melt the ice and free Kelden's masters. Afterward, Blake and Whitley rode on Kelden's back as they and Kelden's masters escaped the Abyssal Ruins.

History

Kelden debuted in The Shadow Triad. It was first seen at the Pledge Grove, waiting for its masters, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion. Once they arrived, they tested Keldeo to see if it was worthy of joining their group. Keldeo tried to cut the boulder with its sword, only to lose concentration and mess up. Terrakion and Virizion laughed off the failed attempt and helped Keldeo practice so it could try again.

When Keldeo asked which side was evil, Cobalion stated that battles between humans had no moral alignments. Sensing evil from the Shadow Triad, Keldeo stepped in to attack them with its sword, easily pushing back their Pokémon. The Shadow Triad retaliated once Keldeo let its guard down, forcing its masters to step in and protect it. Cobalion praised Keldeo's use of its sword, but informed that it order to obtain another sword, it needed to be resolute.

Kelden and Blake

Two years later, in Pokédex Lecture, Blake and Whitley went to the Pledge Grove to fill their Pokédexes with data. After accidentally being summoned by Whitley's Foongy's Sweet Scent, Keldeo attacked the two to drive them away. Later that night, Keldeo was approached by Blake, who offered to help Keldeo strengthen itself and acquire new techniques. Agreeing to help, Keldeo joined Blake's team and was nicknamed Kelden.

In Legendary Tornadus, Blake sent out Kelden to assist Dewott in battling Team Plasma's Tornadus in its Therian Forme. Kelden and Dewott used a combination attack to overwhelm Tornadus before freezing it, forcing the Team Plasma Grunts using Tornadus to recall it and escape.

In Therian Forme III, Blake sent out Kelden to chase Colress and the Plasma Frigate. When Blake tried to arrest Ghetsis, the Shadow Triad appeared to defend their master. Recognizing them from their previous encounter, Keldeo wildly attacked the Shadow Triad, distracting Blake enough for the Plasma Frigate to take off. Blake was forced to recall Kelden after managing to sneak aboard the ship. After realizing why it was angry, Blake promised to help Kelden get revenge on the Shadow Triad after they arrest Ghetsis.

In Flying Ship, Kelden battled Team Plasma on the Plasma Frigate. After defeating some Grunts, Kelden destroyed the chamber containing Kyurem to prevent Colress from abusing its power. To Blake's shock, the chamber was empty, but before he could process anything, Kyurem appeared and attacked the group. Kelden pushed Blake and Whitley out of the way, but ended up frozen in the process. Colress appeared and revealed that their efforts were in vain because the Plasma Frigate had already absorbed enough energy to freeze all of Unova. Colress then had Kyurem freeze Blake and Whitley alongside Kelden and had them thrown into the ocean.

Using an Aspear Berry given to it, Kelden broke free of the ice and took Blake and Whitley to the Abyssal Ruins. In PS542, Blake awakened and discovered that he could understand Kelden's thoughts, which he attributed to a special effect of the ruins. Kelden took Blake to the frozen bodies of its masters, but revealed it was unable to break the ice. With a Fire-type Techno Blast, Blake had Genesect melt the ice and free Kelden's masters. Afterward, Blake and Whitley rode on Kelden's back as they and Kelden's masters escaped the Abyssal Ruins.
