Prior to the start of the {{chap|Black & White}}, {{p|Reshiram}} was part of a single powerful Dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] who created the [[Unova]] region. The two brothers argued over how to rule the Unova region. The elder brother pursued the truth while the younger brother pursued ideals. Unable to choose a side, the Dragon Pokémon split into two beings: Reshiram, who sided with the elder brother, and {{p|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger. Sometime after the two brothers battled, Reshiram and Zekrom transformed into the [[Light Stone|Light]] and [[Dark Stone]]s, respectively.

In the [[PS474|present day]], both stones were found at the [[Desert Resort]] by [[Clay]] and his mining crew. Feeling a strange surge of power every time he touched the stones, Clay became concerned and asked [[Lenora]] to study them. The Light and Dark Stones were taken to [[Nacrene Museum]] to be studied, but only the Dark Stone's discovery was made public knowledge. Lenora later discovered the both stones were actually the [[Legendary Pokémon]] Reshiram and Zekrom. As Lenora studied the stones, [[Team Plasma]] spied on her with the intent on stealing the stones.

In ''[[PS509|Will the Truth Come Out?]]'', Black stumbles across a battle between {{adv|N}} and [[Alder]]. When he notices that N managed to get Zekrom to join him, the Light Stone glows brightly and Reshiram briefly emerges from it before retreating back inside.

In ''[[PS518|True Friends]]'', Black, enraged that Team Plasma managed to manipulate his friend {{adv|Cheren}}, angrily demands Team Plasma to reveal themselves. This causes Reshiram to fully emerge from the Light Stone. After Team Plasma surrounds the {{un|Pokémon League}} with [[N's Castle]], Reshiram senses Zekrom's presence and goes off to fight its counterpart alone. After catching up with it, Black rides on Reshiram's back as they face off against N and Zekrom in their final battle. Though initially fearful that he may not be able to live up to the previous Hero's legacy, Black musters up the courage to fight alongside Reshiram. Together, Black and Reshiram hit Zekrom with a powerful {{m|Fusion Flare}}, knocking Zekrom and N to the ground.

In ''[[PS540|Flying Ship]]'', N and Zekrom were seen chasing after the Light Stone. The Light Stone [[PS541|eventually]] landed in the [[Entralink]] and was found by White. Zekrom arrived soon after and took the group towards Kyurem, being drawn in by its power. After [[PS542|reaching]] Kyurem, N had White take the Light Stone to safety as he believed that if Zekrom were defeated and absorbed by Kyurem, the Light Stone would react and turn back into Reshiram.

In [[PS544]], White and N were taken into the Light and Dark Stones, respectively, after Kyurem reverted Zekrom. They arrived at the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where they met with Black again. Black revealed he wanted the Light Stone to be absorbed so he and Reshiram could fight Kyurem from the inside, but decided to have N do it instead while he and White headed outside to fight Kyurem directly. However, when Reshiram tried to attack Kyurem, it was blasted back by a powerful {{m|Fusion Bolt}}. Soon after, Reshiram was seen interacting with the {{adv|Swords of Justice}}.

In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Reshiram leaves with the Unova [[Pokédex holder]]s and the Swords of Justice to pursue Kyurem, following the Boundary Pokémon to the [[Giant Chasm]]. [[PS546|Once]] they arrived at the Giant Chasm, Colress has Kyurem attack Reshiram and the Unova Pokédex holders. Using the Giant Chasm to boost Kyurem's [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem|Overdrive mode]], Colress commands Kyurem to freeze the entire chasm, as it can't directly freeze Reshiram. Before Kyurem finishes the attack, it stops on its own, as it had been freed from the control of the [[Colress Machine]]. Kyurem reverts to its normal form and absorbs Reshiram to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}.
 
In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram again before leaving. Reshiram then flew Black, White, and [[Iris]] to the [[Plasma Frigate]], where it helped those on board escape before it crashed. After Ghetsis was captured, Reshiram left Black.

In ''[[PS495|The Battle Within]]'', the [[Shadow Triad]] launched the operation to retrieve the Dark Stone. The Unova [[Gym Leaders]] each fought against the Shadow Triad to protect the Dark Stone. Eventually, the [[Gym]] Leaders won, but were defeated when the Shadow Triad revealed their trump card, the {{adv|Forces of Nature}}. Though the Gym Leaders were defeated and captured, the Shadow Triad were unable to break into the basement where the Dark Stone was kept. By disguising himself as [[Brycen]], a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} tricked {{adv|Black}} into leading him into the basement, allowing [[Ghetsis]] to take the Dark Stone and knock Black unconscious. Ghetsis took the stone to [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he presented it to {{adv|N}}, who awakened Zekrom. Though initially wary of N, Zekrom eventually decided to join N's side, choosing him to be the next Hero of Ideals.

In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'', N is approached by [[Alder]], who recounts the legend of Unova's founding before challenging N to a battle. When Black arrives to see the battle, he notices that N managed to awaken Zekrom. The Light Stone glows brightly and Reshiram briefly emerges from it before retreating back inside. Though N is not surprised that Black possesses the Light Stone, he questions why Reshiram chose him. After the battle ends and N leaves, he hears Zekrom's voice, revealing that it wishes to fight against Black once he has fully become the Hero of Truth.

Upon arriving, Black is shocked to see a second Zekrom fighting alongside the original one. Though momentarily confused, Black sees through the ruse and has Reshiram attack the real Zekrom, defeating it. The fake Zekrom soon reveals itself to be N's {{TP|N|Zorua}}, who wished to fight alongside N despite being {{pkmn2|released}} earlier. N scolds Zorua shortly before the two pass, leaving them unable to witness Black's final battle against Ghetsis. After Ghetsis is defeated, N wakes up. N, having his worldview changed, decides to leave Unova to follow his own path. Leaving Zorua behind, N and Zekrom fly off to parts unknown.

In ''[[PS540|Flying Ship]]'', Zekrom and N returned to Unova. They stopped at the [[Entralink]], where N reunited with {{adv|White}} after she obtained the Light Stone. After explaining the situation, N and Zekrom took White to the [[Plasma Frigate]], where they confronted Ghetsis and Kyurem. N revealed that if Zekrom were to be absorbed, then the Light Stone would react to Kyurem's power and revert back into Reshiram.

In [[PS543]], Ghetsis obtained the [[DNA Splicers]], which allowed Kyurem to revert Zekrom back into the Dark Stone, sealing N inside with it. Afterward, N arrived at the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where he reunited with Black. After White was taken into the Light Stone, Black decided to have N and Zekrom fight Kyurem from the inside while he, White, and Reshiram exited the Light Stone to fight Kyurem directly.

In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', Kyurem was freed from the control of the [[Colress Machine]] and ejects the Dark Stone from its body so it can absorb Reshiram instead. In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Zekrom emerged from the Dark Stone and saved Ghetsis from his fall off of the Plasma Frigate and handed him to the [[International Police]]. Soon after, Zekrom left N.

===History===
Prior to the start of the {{chap|Black & White}}, {{p|Kyurem}} was part of a single powerful Dragon {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] who created the [[Unova]] region. When the Dragon split into {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, a third Dragon created from what remained was born. This Dragon Pokémon, named Kyurem, belonged to neither Truth nor Ideals. Two years prior to the start of the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Kyurem sensed the energy from the now awakened Zekrom and, wishing for Absofusion, appeared before Zinzolin at the [[Giant Chasm]]. Kyurem was then captured by [[Zinzolin]].

Kyurem was then captured by [[Zinzolin]].  


Kyurem debuted in ''[[PS536|Cold Storage Battle]]'', where it appeared before Zinzolin and [[Colress]] at the [[Cold Storage]]. Impressed by Kyurem's strength, Colress demanded that Zinzolin handed the Boundary Pokémon over to him. Angered by Colress's arrogance, Zinzolin refused and commanded Kyurem to battle the scientist. During their battle, Colress came to the conclusion that Zinzolin's ultimate goal was to have Kyurem fuse with Reshiram or Zekrom through Absofusion. Eventually, Zinzolin was defeated by {{adv|Forces of Nature|Thundurus and Landorus}} and thrown out of the building.

Eventually, Zinzolin was defeated by {{adv|Forces of Nature|Thundurus and Landorus}} and thrown out of the building.

Kyurem saved the Pokémon by freezing the air to create a large bridge of ice, allowing the Poké Balls to harmlessly slide to safety. Afterward, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram again before leaving to find Colress, where the Boundary Pokémon froze him solid with {{m|Sheer Cold}}. Once all the humans had left the Giant Chasm, Kyurem covered the entire location in ice in order to rest undisturbed.

Black's Reshiram (Japanese: ブラックのレシラム Black's Reshiram) is the light Dragon and Unova's "truth" who was owned by Black and his sixth Pokémon overall.

History

Black & White arc

As the Light Stone
Reshiram right after being awakened by Black

Prior to the start of the chapter, Reshiram was part of a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes who created the Unova region. The two brothers argued over how to rule the Unova region. The elder brother pursued the truth while the younger brother pursued ideals. Unable to choose a side, the Dragon Pokémon split into two beings: Reshiram, who sided with the elder brother, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger. Sometime after the two brothers battled, Reshiram and Zekrom transformed into the Light and Dark Stones, respectively.

In the present day, both stones were found at the Desert Resort by Clay and his mining crew. Feeling a strange surge of power every time he touched the stones, Clay became concerned and asked Lenora to study them. The Light and Dark Stones were taken to Nacrene Museum to be studied, but only the Dark Stone's discovery was made public knowledge. Lenora later discovered the both stones were actually the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom. As Lenora studied the stones, Team Plasma spied on her with the intent on stealing the stones.

In The Battle Within, the Shadow Triad launched the operation to retrieve the Dark Stone. The Unova Gym Leaders each fought against the Shadow Triad to protect the Dark Stone. Eventually, the Gym Leaders won, but were defeated when the Shadow Triad revealed their trump card, the Forces of Nature. Though the Gym Leaders were defeated and captured, the Shadow Triad were unable to break into the basement where the Dark Stone was kept. By disguising himself as Brycen, a Team Plasma Grunt tricked Black into leading him into the basement, allowing Ghetsis to take the Dark Stone and knock Black unconscious. After Ghetsis had left, the real Brycen entered the basement and found the unconscious Black. He opened the lock to the Light Stone, which rolled towards Black, choosing him to be the next Hero of Truth. Brycen then decided to take Black and train him so that he may be able to wield Reshiram's power against Team Plasma.

In Will the Truth Come Out?, Black stumbles across a battle between N and Alder. When he notices that N managed to get Zekrom to join him, the Light Stone glows brightly and Reshiram briefly emerges from it before retreating back inside.

Reshiram and Black

In True Friends, Black, enraged that Team Plasma managed to manipulate his friend Cheren, angrily demands Team Plasma to reveal themselves. This causes Reshiram to fully emerge from the Light Stone. After Team Plasma surrounds the Pokémon League with N's Castle, Reshiram senses Zekrom's presence and goes off to fight its counterpart alone. After catching up with it, Black rides on Reshiram's back as they face off against N and Zekrom in their final battle. Though initially fearful that he may not be able to live up to the previous Hero's legacy, Black musters up the courage to fight alongside Reshiram. Together, Black and Reshiram hit Zekrom with a powerful Fusion Flare, knocking Zekrom and N to the ground.

Zekrom quickly gets back up and flies to N's Castle with Black and Reshiram following after it. Upon arriving, Black is shocked to see a second Zekrom fighting alongside the original one. Though momentarily confused, Black sees through the ruse and has Reshiram attack the real Zekrom, defeating it. The battle left Reshiram exhausted, leaving it unable to help Black in his final battle against Ghetsis.

After N and Zekrom leave, Reshiram lets out a roar as it begins reverting back into the Light Stone. Black realizes that if he and White stand near it, they will be absorbed into the Light Stone as well. Hearing this, Ghetsis uses Colress's Beheeyem to throw Black onto Reshiram before making his escape. Black is unable to escape and is sealed into the Light Stone alongside Reshiram. When White attempts to grab the Light Stone, it flies off to parts unknown.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

Reshiram fused with Kyurem

In Flying Ship, N and Zekrom were seen chasing after the Light Stone. The Light Stone eventually landed in the Entralink and was found by White. Zekrom arrived soon after and took the group towards Kyurem, being drawn in by its power. After reaching Kyurem, N had White take the Light Stone to safety as he believed that if Zekrom were defeated and absorbed by Kyurem, the Light Stone would react and turn back into Reshiram.

In Dream World, White and N were taken into the Light and Dark Stones, respectively, after Kyurem reverted Zekrom. They arrived at the Pokémon Dream World, where they met with Black again. Black revealed he wanted the Light Stone to be absorbed so he and Reshiram could fight Kyurem from the inside, but decided to have N do it instead while he and White headed outside to fight Kyurem directly. However, when Reshiram tried to attack Kyurem, it was blasted back by a powerful Fusion Bolt. Soon after, Reshiram was seen interacting with the Swords of Justice.

In Deduction Time, Reshiram leaves with the Unova Pokédex holders and the Swords of Justice to pursue Kyurem, following the Boundary Pokémon to the Giant Chasm. Once they arrived at the Giant Chasm, Colress has Kyurem attack Reshiram and the Unova Pokédex holders. Using the Giant Chasm to boost Kyurem's Overdrive mode, Colress commands Kyurem to freeze the entire chasm, as it can't directly freeze Reshiram. Before Kyurem finishes the attack, it stops on its own, as it had been freed from the control of the Colress Machine. Kyurem reverts to its normal form and absorbs Reshiram to become White Kyurem.

In The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram again before leaving. Reshiram then flew Black, White, and Iris to the Plasma Frigate, where it helped those on board escape before it crashed. After Ghetsis was captured, Reshiram left Black.

Personality and characteristics

Reshiram is a powerful Pokémon, easily competing with other Legendary Pokémon. Black was quickly overwhelmed by Reshiram's power, feeling as though his mind and body were being crushed by its presence. Reshiram has a close relationship with its Trainer, choosing Black as its Hero of Truth. Black was also able to quickly connect his heart to Reshiram during their battle against N and Zekrom.

Prior to the start of the chapter, Zekrom was part of a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes who created the Unova region. The two brothers argued over how to rule the Unova region.

Unable to choose a side, the Dragon Pokémon split into two beings: Zekrom, who sided with the younger brother, and Reshiram, who sided with the elder.

The Dark and Light Stones were taken to Nacrene Museum to be studied, but only the Dark Stone's discovery was made public knowledge. Lenora later discovered the both stones were actually the Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom. As Lenora studied the stones, Team Plasma spied on her with the intent on stealing the stones.

Zekrom and N

In The Battle Within, the Shadow Triad launched the operation to retrieve the Dark Stone. The Unova Gym Leaders each fought against the Shadow Triad to protect the Dark Stone. Eventually, the Gym Leaders won, but were defeated when the Shadow Triad revealed their trump card, the Forces of Nature. Though the Gym Leaders were defeated and captured, the Shadow Triad were unable to break into the basement where the Dark Stone was kept. By disguising himself as Brycen, a Team Plasma Grunt tricked Black into leading him into the basement, allowing Ghetsis to take the Dark Stone and knock Black unconscious. Ghetsis took the stone to Dragonspiral Tower, where he presented it to N, who awakened Zekrom. Though initially wary of N, Zekrom eventually decided to join N's side, choosing him to be the next Hero of Ideals.

In The Lesson Ends Here, N is approached by Alder, who recounts the legend of Unova's founding before challenging N to a battle. When Black arrives to see the battle, he notices that N managed to awaken Zekrom. The Light Stone glows brightly and Reshiram briefly emerges from it before retreating back inside. Though N is not surprised that Black possesses the Light Stone, he questions why Reshiram chose him. After the battle ends and N leaves, he hears Zekrom's voice, revealing that it wishes to fight against Black once he has fully become the Hero of Truth.

In True Friends, Black, enraged that Team Plasma managed to manipulate his friend Cheren, angrily demands Team Plasma to reveal themselves, causing Reshiram to fully emerge from the Light Stone. Team Plasma soon attacks the Pokémon League, surrounding it with N's Castle. With both Dragons fully awakened, N and Black have their final battle in the skies above N's Castle. Though N initially has the advantage in the battle, Black exploits the connection between Zekrom and Reshiram to deal a powerful blow to Zekrom with Fusion Flare, knocking Zekrom and N to the ground. Zekrom quickly gets back up and flies to N's Castle with Black and Reshiram following after it.

Upon arriving, Black is shocked to see a second Zekrom fighting alongside the original one. Though momentarily confused, Black sees through the ruse and has Reshiram attack the real Zekrom, defeating it. The fake Zekrom soon reveals itself to be N's Zorua, who wished to fight alongside N despite being released earlier. N scolds Zorua shortly before the two pass, leaving them unable to witness Black's final battle against Ghetsis. After Ghetsis is defeated, N wakes up. N, having his worldview changed, decides to leave Unova to follow his own path. Leaving Zorua behind, N and Zekrom fly off to parts unknown.

Black 2 & White 2 arc
Zekrom fused with Kyurem

In Flying Ship, Zekrom and N returned to Unova. They stopped at the Entralink, where N reunited with White after she obtained the Light Stone. After explaining the situation, N and Zekrom took White to the Plasma Frigate, where they confronted Ghetsis and Kyurem. N revealed that if Zekrom were to be absorbed, then the Light Stone would react to Kyurem's power and revert back into Reshiram.

In Abyssal Ruins, Ghetsis obtained the DNA Splicers, which allowed Kyurem to revert Zekrom back into the Dark Stone, sealing N inside with it. Afterward, N arrived at the Pokémon Dream World, where he reunited with Black. After White was taken into the Light Stone, Black decided to have N and Zekrom fight Kyurem from the inside while he, White, and Reshiram exited the Light Stone to fight Kyurem directly. However, N had been forced out of the Dream World by the next round.

In Giant Chasm, Kyurem was freed from the control of the Colress Machine and ejects the Dark Stone from its body so it can absorb Reshiram instead. In The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition, Zekrom emerged from the Dark Stone and saved Ghetsis from his fall off of the Plasma Frigate and handed him to the International Police. Soon after, Zekrom left N.

Zinzolin's Kyurem (Japanese: ヴィオのキュレム Vio's Kyurem) is the third Dragon Pokémon from the original Dragon who was owned by Zinzolin.

History

Prior to the start of the Black & White arc, Kyurem was part of a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes who created the Unova region. When the Dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third Dragon created from what remained was born. This Dragon Pokémon, named Kyurem, belonged to neither Truth nor Ideals. Two years prior to the start of the Black 2 & White 2 arc, Kyurem sensed the energy from the now-awakened Zekrom and, wishing for Absofusion, appeared before Zinzolin at the Giant Chasm. Kyurem was then captured by Zinzolin.

Kyurem debuted in Cold Storage Battle, where it appeared before Zinzolin and Colress at the Cold Storage. Impressed by Kyurem's strength, Colress demanded that Zinzolin handed the Boundary Pokémon over to him. Angered by Colress's arrogance, Zinzolin refused and commanded Kyurem to battle the scientist. During their battle, Colress came to the conclusion that Zinzolin's ultimate goal was to have Kyurem fuse with Reshiram or Zekrom through Absofusion. Eventually, Zinzolin was defeated by Thundurus and Landorus and thrown out of the building.

In Therian Forme III, Colress used the Colress Machine to take control of Kyurem. He used it to attack Blake, but was stopped by Ghetsis when he arrived on the Plasma Frigate. Ghetsis had Colress load Kyurem onto a special room located on the ship, allowing the Plasma Frigate to fly through the air. With Kyurem's energy, the Plasma Frigate gained access to a special cannon capable of freezing buildings in an instant.

In Flying Ship, Blake and Whitley fought to free Kyurem from Team Plasma's control. Blake used Kelden to cut and destroy the chamber containing Kyurem, only to find it empty. Colress explained that the Plasma Frigate had drained enough energy to freeze all of Unova before commanding Kyurem to freeze Blake, Whitley, and Kelden solid. He then had the three thrown into the ocean below.

In Pink Slip, Ghetsis was given control of Kyurem so he could battle with N, who had arrived to stop Team Plasma. During the battle, Ghetsis obtained the DNA Splicers, which allowed Kyurem to revert Zekrom back into the Dark Stone, sealing N inside with it. Kyurem then absorbed the Dark Stone to become Black Kyurem, giving it the power to freeze Undella Town with a single Freeze Shock. When Reshiram attempted to fight Kyurem, it was blasted back by a powerful Fusion Bolt from Kyurem.

In Deduction Time, Kyurem began heading towards the Giant Chasm of its own free will. After they arrived, Colress retook control of Kyurem and used it to attack the Unova Pokédex holders. When Kyurem stopped moving, Rood appeared, revealing that a machine designed to counter the Colress Machine had been activated. Kyurem reverted to its normal form and absorbed Reshiram, transforming it into White Kyurem. Colress tried to command Kyurem once more, only for it to fire off an Ice Burn at him, convincing the scientist to give up and flee. Kyurem then went to destroy the Plasma Frigate, forcing Black, White, and Iris to try and stop it from harming the people onboard.

In The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition, an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart, setting it ablaze and causing it to crash. When a piece of the ship tore off, a large pile of liberated Pokémon still inside their Poké Balls began plummeting towards the ground. Kyurem saved the Pokémon by freezing the air to create a large bridge of ice, allowing the Poké Balls to harmlessly slide to safety. Afterward, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram again before leaving to find Colress, where the Boundary Pokémon froze him solid with Sheer Cold. Once all the humans had left the Giant Chasm, Kyurem covered the entire location in ice in order to rest undisturbed.

Personality and characteristics

Kyurem is a powerful Pokémon, able to keep the Cold Storage at freezing temperatures with just its presence. Kyurem is described by Zinzolin as an empty shell that is not marred by truth and ideals.
