Chapter 514: Keldeo: I Must Succeed!
Chapter 514: Keldeo: I Must Succeed!
In the Unova Region, at the Cage Eye Town Pokemon Center.
"Fortunately, Teacher Jinghe, you stabilized its injuries, and it's now fully recovered," Miss Joy said, looking at Keldeo in the special treatment room.
Judging by Keldeo's condition, if it weren't for Jinghe using the Vitality Cube and Waveguide, it would have taken much longer than a few hours to heal.
"It's good that you're okay."
With the League's advanced technology and top-notch treatment techniques at the Pokemon Center, Keldeo quickly regained consciousness.
However, when Keldeo realized it was in a sealed room, it showed obvious signs of panic and tried to ram its head against the glass.
But it stopped halfway, seemingly remembering that its horn on its head had broken.
That horn was Keldeo's "sword," just like all the other "Saint Swordsmen." Now that the horn was broken, it was as if the sword had been severed.
For any true swordsman, a broken sword is a devastating blow to their morale.
After receiving permission from Miss Joy, Jinghe hurried into the special treatment room.
Every Pokemon Center has one of these special treatment rooms, and the construction costs are not low. If Keldeo were to destroy it, would it be considered Keldeo's responsibility or the Pokemon Center's?
Huff!
Upon seeing Jinghe, Keldeo turned around and assumed an attacking stance, directing its gaze at him.
"Who are you?!"
Its slightly immature voice echoed in Jinghe's mind.
However, just after asking, Keldeo seemed to realize something and slowly retracted its attacking stance while speaking again:
"Are you... the one who saved me before?"
It's good that it remembers.
Jinghe spread his hands out in front of him, indicating his peaceful intentions, and then used his Waveguide to try to communicate with Keldeo.
The familiar Waveguide...
It was indeed his savior!
"Thank you for saving me!"
Keldeo completely retracted its attacking stance and expressed its gratitude.
As a "just swordsman," gratitude was one of the first things it learned.
Jinghe also relaxed slightly, indicating to the Gramps hiding in the shadows that there was no need to be on guard anymore.
"Please! Please help me! Save the Saint Swordsmen!"
Keldeo seemed to have found a lifeline and pleaded desperately.
Keldeo, the "Zhiye version" of Pokemon, asked for help without confirming whether the person it was seeking help from was trustworthy or capable of providing assistance.
Fortunately for Keldeo, it encountered Jinghe.
"Don't be hasty," Jinghe said, lowering his hand to calm Keldeo down and sending a Waveguide to soothe and stabilize its emotions.
The Waveguide was indeed effective.
"Hmm..."
Keldeo half-squinted its eyes and hummed softly in comfort.
"Take your time and explain what happened," Jinghe said calmly, providing Keldeo with a peaceful environment.
"It's all my fault..."
After being soothed, Keldeo began with a remorseful expression.
Everything started with Tyrantrum.
Tyrantrum lived in the Giant Cavern, and not many people knew about it because the place was in ruins, and the vast cave was like a maze. Without familiarity, it was difficult to find a way out.
Moreover, at some point, the Giant Cavern became perpetually filled with cold air. Without sufficient cold resistance, venturing too deep could result in freezing to death.
If that were the only issue, it wouldn't be a significant problem, as the Giant Cavern was already in ruins.
However...
Tyrantrum was incredibly powerful, and its cold aura attracted a large number of Ice-type Pokemon. With Tyrantrum's Ice-type power and the presence of so many Ice-type Pokemon, the cold air spread from the Giant Cavern, affecting the survival environment of the wild Pokemon in the area.
Consequently, Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem, the three "Saint Swordsmen" who protected Pokemon and maintained peace, represented the wild Pokemon and went to the Giant Cavern to negotiate with Tyrantrum.
They hoped that Tyrantrum would show some restraint and keep the cold air within the Giant Cavern.
After all, the Giant Cavern was quite extensive.
But...
Tyrantrum was not one to negotiate easily.
So, Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem fought against Tyrantrum.
Keldeo, as their "disciple" or student, had also developed some confidence in its abilities after a long period of training. It believed it could assist its three teachers.
In the end, when facing Tyrantrum, Keldeo realized its own weakness.
It tried to resist but was easily struck down, and its horn, its "sword," was broken.
More importantly, the three "Saint Swordsmen" were injured by Tyrantrum while trying to protect Keldeo.
Listening to Keldeo's guilt-ridden account, Jinghe gently rested his chin on his hand.
The situation seemed to differ from what he had seen in the movies.
"So, Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem were all frozen by Tyrantrum?" Jinghe asked.
"Yes."
However, Keldeo's next words surprised Jinghe.
"But Hoopa and the others were frozen because they wanted to protect Tyrantrum, so Tyrantrum froze them."
Huh?
Gramps, having heard the entire story, also stepped forward.
He scratched his head, confused.
The more you explain, the less I understand. Weren't the three "Saint Swordsmen" attacked by Tyrantrum because they were protecting you?
Keldeo's face flushed with shame.
"Actually... I didn't even see Tyrantrum."
It wanted to help, but due to the dense fog and heavy snow, it couldn't even see Tyrantrum's shadow and was injured.
Gramps's expression turned peculiar, but Jinghe quickly rubbed his face, hiding his concern. He maintained his composure and asked, "What did you mean by Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem being frozen to protect Tyrantrum?"
Keldeo, unaware of Gramps's expression change, kept his head down and slowly explained, "Because... because another group of Pokemon came in later, and their target seemed to be Tyrantrum."
Keldeo paused.
"Tyrantrum and the three 'Saint Swordsmen' had already exhausted much of their strength in their battle, and these new Pokemon took advantage of their vulnerability."
Jinghe gradually understood the situation.
Initially, Tyrantrum had fought against Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem, a fair 'agreed-upon' battle, despite being one against three.
Keldeo's intrusion angered Tyrantrum, who believed the 'Saint Swordsmen' were breaking their promise.
The 'Saint Swordsmen' had to fight with all their might to protect Keldeo.
At that moment, another group of unknown Pokemon appeared. They were not weak, and taking advantage of Tyrantrum's weakened state, they attempted to team up with the three 'Saint Swordsmen' to deal with Tyrantrum.
However, they didn't anticipate the 'Saint Swordsmen's' 'Justice Heart.'
Keldeo's intrusion and the appearance of the unknown Pokemon were both attributed to the 'Saint Swordsmen' by Tyrantrum.
But the 'Saint Swordsmen' demonstrated their commitment to justice and their apologies to Tyrantrum through their actions.
Even though they were injured, they desperately helped Tyrantrum fight against the invading unknown Pokemon.
In the end, Tyrantrum was moved by their justice and, as they were about to reach their limit, froze and sealed them, acknowledging and protecting them.
The 'Saint Swordsmen' won Tyrantrum's trust through their actions.
However, this also trapped them in a prison.
Keldeo eventually escaped during the battle between Tyrantrum and the group of Pokemon because Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem had asked him to seek help before they were frozen.
Whether they wanted Keldeo to seek help or give him an excuse to escape remains unknown.
Perhaps the three 'Saint Swordsmen' could reach an agreement with Tyrantrum to train Keldeo because of their shared ordeal.
After hearing this, Jinghe had a rough understanding of the situation.
The group of unknown Pokemon Keldeo mentioned was most likely the Genesect group.
The five well-coordinated Apocalyptic Insects, with their Bug and Steel typing, had double resistance to Dragon and Ice types, making it a challenging battle.
If the Plasma Team's technology and strength were added to the mix, it was possible that the Plasma Team had already succeeded in their plan.
"Tsk."
Jinghe rested his hands behind his head and leaned back slightly.
If this was the case, the trouble was indeed significant.
"Can you help them?" Keldeo looked at Jinghe and Gramps expectantly.
This was no longer a question of helping; he needed to go and see for himself.
On one hand,
The Genesect group was there, and since Multivolt Beta had promised to help through Cage Eye Town's Pokemon Center, Jinghe wanted to make an effort to try.
On the other hand,
He needed to confirm Tyrantrum's condition and see if the Plasma Team had succeeded in their plan.
If the Plasma Team hadn't succeeded, he would stop them.
If they had, he would help Keldeo free the three 'Saint Swordsmen,' who could also provide some assistance.
So Jinghe quickly made a decision.
"Can you move?" Jinghe slowly stood up, his expression slightly grave, and asked.
"I can!"
Keldeo gritted his teeth and stood up unsteadily.
If not for him, the 'Saint Swordsmen' wouldn't have fought Tyrantrum to such an extent, only to be taken advantage of by others.
He had to be able to!
"Hng."
Gramps nodded slightly towards Keldeo, acknowledging his willingness to take responsibility, despite his recklessness.
"Jinghe-sensei, he's not fully recovered yet," Joy said worriedly, seeing Jinghe preparing to take Keldeo with him.
"I know."
Jinghe looked at Keldeo, who was walking unsteadily, and said seriously, "But I believe he can."
Hmm?
Keldeo suddenly looked up at Jinghe.
He can.
These three words deeply pierced Keldeo's heart.
He had been following Hoopa, Diancie, and Kyurem in his training.
Although the 'Saint Swordsmen' had taught him everything and cared for him, they always said:
"It's not time yet, Keldeo; you need to continue your training, Keldeo; there's still a lot for you to learn, Keldeo."
Keldeo understood they had his best interests at heart.
But they had never explicitly expressed their approval of him.
It was for this 'approval' that Keldeo tried to intervene in the battle between the 'Saint Swordsmen' and Tyrantrum.
He had messed up.
But this person in front of him, after hearing Keldeo's account, not only didn't look down on him or mock him, but also believed in him.
This was also Jinghe's simple assessment of Keldeo from their conversation and demeanor—he lacked approval.
Keldeo nodded firmly at Jinghe and Joy.
I can!
I must be able to!
