Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice

Ash, Iris and Cilan find Keldeo, a young apprentice to the Swords of Justice, injured and fleeing Kyurem. It had challenged the legendary to prove itself, and its mentors Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion were frozen trying to protect it. The group helps Keldeo reach the icy court where Kyurem lives, escaping an army of Cryogonal along the way. Keldeo wavers, gets scared and nearly gives up. With Ash's support, it finds its courage and takes its Resolute Form. Instead of fighting just to win, it uses Secret Sword to protect its friends. Kyurem acknowledges its strength, and the mentors accept Keldeo as an equal.

• Mid-credits In the Japanese version, the credits include extra post-adventure scenes, like the blimp being returned to the museum. The English dub cut these scenes.
