I went to Nimbasa City to do some training, where Zach grew to Level 39. After I was done with training, I headed off to Driftveil City to explore the Mistralton Cave located on Route 6. While on the path I found TM84 (Poison Jab) and also an Ultra Ball and an Elixir. Also, while I was heading to the cave, Cole grew to Level 39, and I taught Mason to use Thunderbolt in place of Discharge.
I went inside the cave, and it was pitch black. I pondered teaching one of my Pokemon to use Flash, but I really didn't think such a move was going to be useful by itself, especially when Mason already knew Thunder Wave to cause paralysis. Fortunately I had a map from Bulbapedia, and I wandered around in the dark for a time.
I moved a large boulder around, then I went down some stairs and headed east, before I was stopped by a Hiker for a battle. After the battle I continued east, moved a boulder, then I went north up some stairs, and got into a battle with another Hiker. I snagged a Max Repel at the end of the side path, and then I taught Nora to use Bulldoze in place of Mud Shot. After that I continued on the main path, I got into a battle with a wild Axew, and after the battle Mason grew to Level 39. I felt a bit disappointed that I didn't catch it, but I knew I could catch one at a lower level from Pokemon Y when I get to it.
I continued west and moved a boulder to become a shortcut to the entrance, then I went south and then up some stairs to the next floor. I moved a boulder, went back south to grab an Ultra Ball, and then went across the path and snagged a Hyper Potion. I went up some stairs onto a hill, moved around a bit, then grabbed a Hard Stone before I moved a boulder. Before going to the next floor, I went north and west, and snagged TM80 (Rock Slide). Nora also grew to Level 39 during some wild Pokemon battles.
I finally reached the third floor, and found that it was bright, and that I could see. The third floor was called the Guidance Chamber, and as I made my way through the cave I was stopped by an old man. The old man had a story to tell, and I said I would listen to him.
The old man told me a story, about when Pokemon people lived in different worlds. He told me of a war between people, which started an intense fire in a forest where many Pokemon lived. The Pokemon were in danger from the fire, and three Legendary Pokemon, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion appeared to save them all. Terrakion used it's strength to destroy rocks blocking the escape route, Virzion used it's speed to protect Pokemon from the flames, and Cobalion led the frightened Pokemon out of the woods.
The old man continued, saying that the people who started the war were stopped by these Legendary Pokemon, and because of these three Pokemon the war ended. He said that when people fight, there's no peace for Pokemon either, and that those three Pokemon knew that such events could have dire consequences for their world. He told me how they disappeared, cutting themselves off from people, and so they faded into myth.
The old man told me that he'd been searching for them for decades, and finally found one of them deep in the cave we were standing in. He told me that they don't trust people, that if people approach that they would attack, and he said it couldn't be helped because the three Legendary Pokemon only know the old world. They still didn't know of the unity between people and Pokemon, and how both sides work together for the betterment of both.
The old man thought I would be able to show them that people and Pokemon could trust one another, that they could live together. He thought that if they took another look at people, that perhaps they would stop hiding, and while I didn't know anything about that I did know I wanted to catch this Legendary Trio.
I made my way through the cave, and Arthur grew to Level 39 with a few wild Pokemon battles. I also found a Dusk Stone at the end of a path, and Rare Candy at the end of another. Finally, I reached Cobalion and started the battle against it.
I sent Madelyn out against Cobalion, and it used Sacred Sword for great damage, before Madelyn countered with Aerial Ace for good damage. Cobalion tried using Helping Hand next, but it failed, then Madelyn went high, and struck with Fly for great damage. Cobalion used Iron Head next for great damage, and Madelyn was pushed to the red, before she countered with Aerial Ace to push Cobalion into the yellow.
I switched out to Mason next, and he got hit by Sacred Sword for massive damage, and then Cobalion failed with Helping Hand before Mason struck it with Thunder Wave to paralyze it. Mason hit Cobalion with Stomp for minor damage, and Cobalion flinched, then Mason Stomped it again for minor damage, before it used Sacred Sword to knock Mason out.
I sent out Zach next, and he used Slash for minor damage to push Cobalion into the red, and it was stopped by paralysis. With Cobalion in the red and paralyzed, I decided to start using Ultra Balls to try catching it. The first Ultra Ball did nothing, and Zach was knocked out, and I switched to Nora, before I continued using Ultra Balls. The second Ultra Ball gave one shake, the third did nothing, and finally the fourth was successful!
Cobalion (Steel/Fighting, Lv. 42) was caught, and then the old man came up to me. He told me that because of me Cobalion had sensed a change in the world, a world where people and Pokemon live and work together. The old man believed that Cobalion wanted to remain with me and travel with me, and he told me that Terrakion and Virizion should feel the same because of the close bond between the three.
The old man told me he was sure the other two would give me a chance to prove my worth, and I found myself eager to get all three. The old man told me that any obstacles that separated the other two from people are probably gone now, and he said that the decision to search for Terrakion and Virizion would be up to me, but they were definitely waiting for me one way or another.
I used an Escape Rope to get out of the cave, then I had Madelyn fly me to Nacrene City to heal up, and make preparations to travel through Pinwheel Forest once more to find another of the trio. I remembered the old man blocking the path before, talking of a powerful Pokemon through it, and I knew that one of those Legendary Pokemon had to be there.
