White Kyurem - Pokémon Generations (2016)

Through DNA manipulation and splicing technology, the Boundary Pokémon Kyurem could alter its form and abilities when exposed to compatible genetic material from fellow members of the Tao trinity.

Using stolen DNA Splicers from the Opelucid City Gym leader Drayden, Ghetsis merged Kyurem and Reshiram - reverted back to the Light Stone - into White Kyurem.

Turning on N, they attempted to kill the young trainer with an Ice Burn, only for the attack to be countered by a thunderbolt from Zekrom.

Sensing that the two could be separated from one another, N and Hilbert prepared to use the Deep Black Pokémon to free the confined Reshiram.

Kyurem - Pokémon Generations (2016)

Known as the Boundary Pokémon, Kyurem was a legendary Dragon and Ice-type Pokémon residing in the Unova region. They were part of the Tao trio alongside Reshiram and Zekrom and with the intervention of genetic investigations, can bond together through a process called Absofusion to construct two new beings; Black and White Kuyrem.

After Team Plasma acquired knowledge of their existence, Kyurem was hunted down and captured by the criminal organisation. Suspended in a glass tank, they were immersed in a chemical solution and used as a power source for a newly generated super-weapon.

Stored aboard Plasma's Frigate, they were experimented upon by Corless, who wanted to determine the dragon's capabilities. As part of this analysis, he was forced to use his powers to freeze Opelucid City. After being subjected to severe electrical stimulation, the cannon immitted a second blast, completely decimating the city.

With Corless satisfied that they were completely loyal, Kyurem was returned to Ghetsis, who took him to the Giant Chasm to complete the final part of Team Plasma's plot; freeze Unova and rule over the remains.

However, their blizzard was interrupted by the arrival of N and Reshiram, driving the angered leader to use DNA Splicers to combine both Kyurem and Reshiram together to create White Kyurem. 

The Kyurem Cannon - Pokémon Generations (2016)

Designed by Colress, the Kyurem Cannon was an armament that harnessed the power of the conquered Boundary Pokémon, unleashing their eminent cryogenic attacks as its own. 

Fitted onto Team Plasma's Frigate, it was utilised by the criminal organisation to freeze Opelucid City, while Zinzolin and his grunts launched an assault on the populace.

Bombarding the city from above, Colress pushed Kyurem beyond their limit, exponentially increasing the potential of the weapon and encasing the entire of Opelucid and its people in ice.  

Burgh's Leavanny - Pokémon Generations (2016)

Captured and raised by the Castelia City Gym leader Burgh, Leavanny was a graceful and elegant Pokémon both in and out of combat. They were trained to employ both bug and grass attacks, as well as how to put on a performance. Mastering Burgh's mannerisms and movements, they could simulate his friend's style in perfect time; able to carry out pirouettes and bows.

Cutting their way through Team Plasma's Scolipede and Seismitoad with their leaf blade, Leavanny moved to Burgh's side, joining in with his trainer's sardonic obeisance.

Lenora - Pokémon Generations (2016)

The director of the Nacrene Museum, Lenora was an archaeologist and Pokémon trainer, rising through the ranks to become one of the eight gym leaders in the Unova region. She utilised normal type Pokémon and had a Herdier among her team.

Sending the loyal dog Pokémon ahead, she sarcastically apologised to Team Plasma for her part in stopping their scheme to take over Unova, before steering their attention to the other gym leaders.

Burgh - Pokémon Generations (2016)

The Castelia City Gym leader, Burgh was an artist and Pokémon enthusiast. He was passionate about bug Pokémon and shared a close relationship with his Leavanny. The bond between them was so strong that Leavanny had copied his trainer's physical movements and posture, able to move in sync with one another without instruction. 

Joining forces with the other Unova Gym Leaders to fight Team Plasma at their palace, Burgh gave his opponents a mocking bow as he promised the Seven Sages that he would do all in his power to stop them. 

Clay - Pokémon Generations (2016)

The renowned leader of the Driftveil City Gym, Clay primarily trained with ground type Pokémon, which he used in his battles with opponents. 

After learning that Iris had gone off to stop Team Plasma and end the ascension of their King before N's rulership over Unova could be established, he decided to gather the rest of the Unova Gym Leaders and offer her reinforcements. 

Taking her by surprise, he expressed his admiration at the young trainer's abilities and determination, adding that she needn't worry about fighting Team Plasma's forces as help was at hand. 

With his fellow leaders assembled, Clay and the others joined the fray. 

Iris - Pokémon Generations (2016)

Sharing the position of Opelucid's Gym Leader with Drayden, Iris was a young Pokémon trainer specialising in dragons. 

Opposing the activities of Team Plasma, she learned about the criminal organisation's concealed dwelling deep beneath the Pokémon League and decided to check it out for herself. 

Arriving at the scene during a storm, she witnessed in shock as N's Castle burst through the earth and formed itself around the League. Regaining her composure, she tasked Druddigon to destroy the nearest staircase, preventing the advancing Team Plasma Grunts from attacking her. Turning her attention to Giallo, she angrily told him that the grand and pompous speeches he and the rest of the Seven Sages made were merely hollow and meaningless words. 

Fighting intensely alongside Druddigon, Iris did not realise until it was too late that she was completely defenceless against a triple Liepard sneak attack. Bracing herself for the assault, she was saved at the last moment by an Excadrill. Stunned by the timely arrival of the Subterrene Pokémon, her confusion was cleared by the appearance of their owner Clay. Complementing her skills as a trainer, the Driftveil Gym Leader added that they were not alone, motioning to the fellow Unova Gym Leader's and their Pokémon as they emerged from the shadows and fought back against the mass of Team Plasma Grunts before them. 

Although she and the Leaders were outnumbered, she rushed the onslaught, clashing with the Grunts as the group tried to reach the Seven Sages and their King. 

N's Castle - Pokémon Generations (2016)

Secretly developed and built beneath the Unova Pokémon League building, N's Castle was the base of operations for Team Plasma, housing vast numbers of their outfit. 

Despite being kept hidden from public knowledge, the location was eventually discovered by Iris, who arrived just in time to see the palace erupt through the ground and surround the League. She watched in shock as the Seven Sages set into motion Ghetsis' plan to enslave all the region's Pokémon and install themselves as the ruling body. 

However, before the scheme could be enacted in its entirety, the Unova Gym Leaders led an assault against the castle. Battling their way up the stairs, the Team Plasma Grunts did their best to defend their headquarters, only to be pushed back by the defiant charge.
