Dear bill, Unovan citizen here. I was out hiking in the Wilderness, when i got myself turned around pretty badly. I then felt this kind of pressure, and on a hunch, i stopped, dropped to a knee, and lowered my head. i did see glimpses of blue, green, and brown out of the corner of my eyes. when the pressure vanished, i looked up, and saw strange markings, which led me back to civilization. Did i do the right thing in the presence of the Swords of Justice? you’re pretty good with Legend info.

Believe me, if that wasn’t the right decision, you would be asking this question from an ICU.

That having been said, it’s fascinating to hear you’ve had such an encounter, anonymous. Normally, the legendary beasts of Unova only appear if they sense danger to the Pokémon that live in their territories, and even then, they typically only appear one at a time. To have all three appear at once must indicate that something strange is happening in Unova. Perhaps I’ll reach out to my Unovan contacts to see if anything big has been going on…

Unova Legendaries, Part II

Cobalion
The Iron Will Pokémon
Type: Steel/Fighting
Official Registration #: 638
Entry: Said to be the most charismatic member of the legendary group known as the Swords of Justice. Long ago, when Unova was engulfed in war, this goat-like legendary appeared to do battle against mankind and protect pokémon from human violence. Some say Cobalion had the right idea, and there are times when, quite frankly, this author can’t argue with that.

Terrakion
The Cavern Pokémon
Type: Rock/Fighting
Official Registration #: 639
Entry: Said to be the brawniest member of the Swords of Justice, capable of toppling castle walls with a single blow. Long ago, when Unova was engulfed in war, this legendary is said to have protected pokémon that had lost their homes to human violence … by destroying entire settlements, villages, fortresses, and other establishments of human civilization. Terrakion then went on to become a symbol of the Unovan military philosophy, because if there are two things no other institution can do better than the Unovan military, it’s seeking out the least productive methods of solving problems and missing the point entirely. (On that note, the author would like to announce his acquisition of several ground-types to Lt. Surge, former officer of the Unovan Army.)

Virizion
The Grassland Pokémon
Type: Grass/Fighting
Official Registration #: 640
Entry: Said to be the swiftest member of the Swords of Justice, whose battle style consists of confounding opponents with ultra-swift moves. Long ago, when Unova was engulfed in war, this legendary is said to have focused completely on protecting its pokémon friends, rather than going after humans or human settlements directly. Because of this interest in the well-being of its own kind and its focus on actual strategy, certain pokémon experts wonder if it is a native to Unova at all.
