# 0_0 Iris: Yahoo! I haven't seen you since
I ran into you in Castelia City!
# 0_1 Are you here to battle Grandpa?
Yep! Opelucid City's Gym Leader,
Drayden, is my grandpa.
We're not really related, though!
# 0_2 Oh! The Gym is that way!
Before challenging it,
you might want to go to Route 9!
# 0_3 Still, your Pokémon really respect you!
I feel how much fun your Pokémon are
having, even from inside their Poké Balls!
Good luck!
# 0_4 Still, your Pokémon really respect you!
I feel how much fun they're having,
even from inside their Poké Balls!
Good luck!
# 0_5 Drayden: I'll show you the way.
Follow me.
# 0_6 This way.
# 0_7 We're here.
OK! Come inside.
# 0_8 What was that?
# 0_9 This world of ice...
# 0_10 Haxorus!
Use Dragon Tail!
# 0_11 Rarh raaaah!
# 0_12 That's enough, Haxorus!
# 0_13 Not only did the ice stay unbroken,
there's not even a scratch on it!\f
What's going on?
# 0_14 ???: I don't think that's going to work.
# 0_15 Drayden: I remember you from N's Castle.
# 0_16 Zinzolin: It's bitter cold.
I'm shivering.
I'm suffering, but I'm alive!
It's what the essence of life feels like!
It's proof of my existence!
But that's enough of philosophy.
Here are the facts for your admiration:
This ice was specially created by
Team Plasma's technology.
As long as we have our secret weapon,
you'll never be able\f
to melt or break this ice!
# 0_17 Let me explain our purpose here.
Drayden, hand over the DNA Splicers!
Opelucid City is a city where the
past and the future are entwined.
Could there be a more perfect place
for the splicers that connect the\f
separated Pokémon?
# 0_18 Drayden: Do you think someone
who knows what you did two years\f
ago will just hand them over quietly?
# 0_19 Zinzolin: Humph.
That's what I thought you'd say.
At this point, I'd like to threaten
you with another volley of ice,\f
but we can't use it for a moment...
Sigh. It won't be enjoyable in this cold,
but I guess we'll just search for them.
# 0_20 Drayden: Those foul villains!
# 0_21 VAR(256, 0)!
I want you to help me!
We're going to drive Team Plasma
out of Opelucid City!
# 0_22 Team Plasma: Pokémon are pawns!
They're a means to an end.
That's what I was taught!
Don't think about it too much.
It's easier that way!
# 0_23 Team Plasma: How can this be?
Is that the kind of power Pokémon have
when they're not treated like objects?
# 0_24 Team Plasma: The others were saying
that the only place we haven't yet\f
searched is the Pokémon Gym!
# 0_25 Team Plasma: This time, we'll take over
the Unova region!
You! You're trembling already?
From fear or from cold--either's good!
# 0_26 Team Plasma: It's not over!
The others will find the DNA Splicers!\f
When they do, the Unova region is ours!
# 0_27 Team Plasma: Now that you mention it,
I think I might have been ordered\f
to comb the Pokémon Gym...
# 0_28 Team Plasma: Don't get in our way!
You bother!\f
Bother, bother, bother!
# 0_29 Team Plasma: How humiliating...
Being bothered by a bother...
# 0_30 Team Plasma: Zinzolin said to stick to
Drayden, because that's where we'll\f
find anything important!
# 0_31 Team Plasma: I lost.
I didn't stand a chance...
I can't believe Haxorus blasted me
all the way over here!
# 0_32 Team Plasma: I think Zinzolin was going
to check the Pokémon Gym...
# 0_33 Team Plasma: I've been nursing a
grudge for two years, old man.
...Even if this is the first time
I've battled you!
# 0_34 Drayden: They're getting tougher!
VAR(256, 0)!
Take care of the others!
# 0_35 Drayden: The only one left is
Zinzolin of the Seven Sages!\f
Where could he be?
Oh!
What's going on at the Pokémon Gym?!
# 0_36 Team Plasma: That old guy won't hold
back even if his opponent is a young girl.
# 0_37 Team Plasma: Oh, that Drayden!
Where did he hide the DNA Splicers?\f
Somewhere familiar and common, right?
# 0_38 Zinzolin: Oh, for crying out loud...
I didn't expect to have to fight
hampered by cold like this.
Well, no matter! The fact that I'm
shivering means I'm truly alive!
# 0_39 Zinzolin: You're a strong Trainer.
You definitely are adept
at handling Pokémon.
I believe I'll take my leave, simply
because I can't stand this cold.
But...imagine this...
A Unova region...completely...covered...
in...ice.
To achieve that splendor,
we'll do whatever it takes\f
to obtain the DNA Splicers.
# 0_40 Drayden: You're even better than I
hoped. Thanks to you, we drove them off.
I'm grateful to your Pokémon, also.
After all that, the least I can do
is heal them with this medicine.
# 0_41 Wait here a moment.
I'll be right back.
# 0_42 Harrumph...
That's a new record for
making it there and back.
# 0_43 Look, VAR(256, 0).
These are the DNA Splicers!
# 0_44 This is what they were after!
We're really fortunate Team Plasma
didn't get their hands on them!
I don't know what their goal is, but I'm
sure they're planning something wicked.
# 0_45 Shadow Triad: As we suspected...
The hiding place was in the Gym.
Well thought out.
If Drayden isn't there, we can't get in.
If he is there, he's the strongest
guard we could possibly face.
It also explains why the
Pokémon Gym was remodeled.
Whatever.
The DNA Splicers are in our hands now.
# 0_46 Drayden: It's beyond my imagination to
think you'd use one of the Seven Sages\f
to find out where the splicers were!
# 0_47 Shadow Triad: Now you know, then.
We will accomplish our goals,
no matter what the cost.
We don't have the ability to captivate
the hearts of others like Lord N does.
Instead, we will bend people
to our will with brute force.\f
Two years was a surprisingly long wait.
# 0_48 Drayden: If they've been stolen from us,
we'll just have to take them back!
# 0_49 Drayden: They don't seem to be in
this area. However, they can hide their\f
presence, so be on guard as you look!
# 0_50 Shadow Triad: Heh heh...
You don't really think you can take
the DNA Splicers back, do you?
# 0_51 Shadow Triad: Awww. How unlucky.
I don't happen to be the one
holding the DNA Splicers.
I was just buying time
for the others to escape.\f
Cheerio, bye-bye, whatever.
# 0_52 Drayden: Oh no! Ah! No!
No, no, it's not your fault, VAR(256, 0).
You were impressive!
It's me who's let everybody down.
# 0_53 The Xtransceiver is ringing.
# 0_54 VAR(256, 0) picked up the Xtransceiver.
# 0_55 Drayden: Augh!
If there were only two of me!
Then I could protect the town
and chase after them, too!
# 0_56 Cheren: VAR(256, 0).
Drayden, glad to see you're safe as well.
# 0_57 Drayden: Hello, Cheren.
You have certainly grown.
I hear you filled in for Lenora by
becoming the Gym Leader in\f
Aspertia City.
# 0_58 Cheren: Thanks.
We should save catching up for later.
I have a good idea of where
Team Plasma is hiding.
The place with the lowest temperature
in the Unova region right now is\f
an area close to Humilau City.
Drayden, please protect Opelucid City.
VAR(256, 1) and I will find Team Plasma!
# 0_59 Drayden: Very well.
I'll do my part--and thanks.
The chase I'll leave to you!
But...don't do anything reckless.
# 0_60 Cheren: VAR(256, 0)!
I could use your help, if you're willing.
You're a skilled Trainer who can go
toe-to-toe with Team Plasma.\f
That's my definition of useful.
Drayden, we're off!
# 0_61 Drayden: Humilau City, huh...
Is there anything to the
north of Undella Town?
VAR(256, 0), protect Pokémon
from Team Plasma!
All people should think for themselves
about the nature of the relationship\f
between people and Pokémon.
It's not something Team Plasma gets
to decide for everyone!
# 0_62 Drayden: Little by little,
the ice is starting to melt.
It's all thanks to you.
As a fellow Trainer, I heartily thank you!
# 0_63 Why do Pokémon stay by our sides?
If we could talk to them, we could ask.
I'm a bit scared about what they'd say.
# 0_64 The memories of everyone who has lived
in this city have built up over the years\f
without changing much.
# 0_65 This city changes endlessly.
And every change is engraved in the
memories of the people who live here.
# 0_66 I reached heights I never could
have arrived at because I had\f
Pokémon by my side.
And I believe my Pokémon became
tough because they were with me!
# 0_67 I think some things shouldn't be
changed, even if it's inconvenient.
# 0_68 I think some things must be changed
no matter how much you love them!
# 0_69 A person called N had the
legendary Pokémon with him,\f
but was he really the hero?
# 0_70 A world of ice.
Such beauty goes beyond old and new--
inspirational, yet terrifying.
Though, to me, there's a comfort in
old things that you can't find in the new.
# 0_71 A world of ice.
Such beauty goes beyond new and old--
inspirational, yet terrifying.
Though, to me, there's a coolness to new
things that I prize more than the old.
# 0_72 Gym Leader Drayden leads
Opelucid City as its mayor!
He's always training by wrestling
with his Pokémon.
# 0_73 My Pokémon show me affection,
so I'm not lonely!
And I return their affection even more!
# 0_74 There was a group that told
people to release their Pokémon.
They were great big liars, but it
created a good opportunity to think.
# 0_75 After that speech, my Pokémon
and I have been thinking about\f
what's true for us.
# 0_76 After that speech, I've been thinking
about the ideal relationship for me and\f
my Pokémon as we move forward together.
# 0_77 Unova's symbols are
Zekrom and Reshiram,\f
but I wonder where they are now.
Are they passing along their
ancient knowledge to someone?
# 0_78 Pursuing ideals is different from person
to person and Pokémon to Pokémon.
In this city, it seems the ideal is
to cherish the past.
# 0_79 The truth people pursue is different
from person to person and\f
Pokémon to Pokémon.
In this city, it seems the truth is
constant change.
# 0_80 The hopes of an ancient people are put
into this melody...
I will bring them back to us now.
# 0_81 Our hopes are put into this melody...
I will send them to the future.
# 0_82 I was just reminded of Iris.
Yes, the Champion.
That Iris...
# 0_83 I wonder what kind of
Champion she'll become.
