Plot
Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion belong to a group of Pokémon called the Swords of Justice, which travel the world to protect people and Pokémon in need of help. Keldeo is in training to become a member of the Swords of Justice. His final challenge before he can become part of the group is to battle Kyurem, a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon with the ability to wield the power of Reshiram and Zekrom which lives in an abandoned mine. However, the Swords of Justice do not believe that Keldeo is ready.

Keldeo sneaks out to the mine, Full Court, to battle Kyurem, lying to him that he is a Sword of Justice. Kyurem breaks Keldeo's horn, causing Keldeo to become nervous and afraid. The Swords of Justice arrive at the Full Court to try and stop the fight. Angered by this, Kyurem freezes the Swords of Justice in ice. Keldeo runs away in panic. Kyurem chases after Keldeo, announcing that their battle is not over.

The Pokémon trainers Ash Ketchum, Iris, and Cilan find an injured Keldeo on top of their train headed for Roshan City. Kyurem arrives with his minions, several Cryogonal, still wanting to continue the fight. However, Kyurem withdraws when the train enters a tunnel. Keldeo is taken to Roshan City's Pokémon Center to be healed. Outside, Ash, Iris, and Cilan agree to help Keldeo and free the Swords of Justice together. Iris commandeers a zeppelin from the city's museum while Cilan uses an abandoned mine cart powered by his Stunfisk to bait Kyurem and the Cryogonal into following them while Ash and Keldeo sneak away to save the Swords of Justice on foot.

Kyurem returns to the mine to continue the battle. Ash heads to the Full Court with his Pikachu, Pignite, and Boldore to free the Swords of Justice. Infuriated that they are trespassing his home, Kyurem tries to attack them, but Keldeo rescues them, gaining the courage he needs to fight. Kyurem reveals that he already knew that Keldeo had lied about being a Sword of Justice but still accepted his challenge and intends to finish the battle. Keldeo transforms into his Resolute Form. The battle causes the Full Court to start collapsing, breaking the ice the Swords of Justice were imprisoned in. Kyurem encases Keldeo in ice. Keldeo breaks out of the ice after learning the move Secret Sword, in which a glowing sword emerges from his horn. Kyurem and Keldeo fire blasts at each other but Kyurem's blast accidentally gets sent towards Ash and his friends. Keldeo slices the blast with Secret Sword, saving his friends but injuring him. Keldeo yields to Kyurem, and the battle ends.

The Swords of Justice praise Keldeo for finally learning the true power of the sword, which officially makes him the fourth member of the team. The group retreats from the Full Court as it collapses. Kyurem freezes the falling Full Court to prevent being crushed and any more damage from being caused.

Why This Film Sucks

 * 1) Incredible basic plot, which is unexcused for a Pokémon film.
 * 2) While likable, Keldeo is annoying as he acts all brave when in truth, he's scared, which cause most of the plot to happen.
 * 3) Kyurem is an incredible unlikable main antagonist as he goes all berserk and attacks Keldeo and later on attacks both Ash and his friends all because the latter "lied" that he's brave....talk about over dramatic.
 * 4) Very poor filler segments, such as the scene were Iris and Cilan use's vehicles to Kyurem and the Cryogonal into following them while Ash and Keldeo sneak away to save the Swords of Justice on foot.
 * 5) The part were Kyurem randomly attacks Iris and Axu as they ride zeppelin is incredible out-of-nowhere, not to mention a bit mean-spirited.
 * 6) Plot-holes:
 * 7) Kyurem is shown the ability to wield the power of Reshiram and Zekrom, even tho Reshiram and Zekrom are not with him and in the games, that fusion can only when when said Reshiram and Zekrom are with Kyurem.
 * 8) Before cutting back to Ash and Cilan, Iris and Axu are last seen in the zeppelin as they fall and about to crash down after Kyurem freeze's the zeppelin, however, in the next scene, both Iris and Axu are seen fine as they ride the zeppelin.......wasn't it seen falling???
 * 9) While not as bad as Pokémon: The First Movie, Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice is somewhat of a bottle film, as there are only two locations that this film takes place, with the rest of the film taking place in the abandoning mine.
 * 10) The Title of the film is somewhat misleading, as it makes it sound like Kyurem will be the main focuse, when its all about Keldeo.
 * 11) Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion are incredible bland and one-dimensional characters.
 * 12) The ending to the climax is INCREDIBLE anti-climatic, Kyurem and Keldeo fire blasts at each other but Kyurem's blast accidentally gets sent towards Ash and his friends. Keldeo slices the blast with Secret Sword, saving his friends but injuring him. Keldeo yields to Kyurem, and the battle ends. Yep, the main antagonist wins.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The animation is incredible.
 * 2) The soundtrack is decent.
 * 3) There are some funny moments.
 * 4) Good ending were the Swords of Justice praise Keldeo for finally learning the true power of the sword, which officially makes him the fourth member of the team.
