==Biography==
The Bittercold is said to have been born from the negative emotions of Pokémon. The dark aura emanating from its center is known as the Winds of Despair and drains the energy of any Pokémon who gets to close, making it difficult to breathe. The Bittercold began amassing power inside the Great Glacier, hidden from the world, but rumors of a great crystal with the power to make things float inside the glacier spread.
The Player's team, minus Emolga, first unknowingly encounter the Bittercold's power during the expedition to the Great Glacier and everyone except the Player pass out and are taken to a different area by Kyurem. Without going into detail, Kyurem explains the Bittercold's power caused them to pass out and that the group could go no further. The team agrees to leave after Kyurem confirms the existence of the "great crystal" to Umbreon.
While the Player and Partner are on the run from Munna's gang, they meet the Voice of Life, Hydreigon, who tells the Player that he brought them to the world of Pokémon to destroy the Bittercold because the Winds of Despair doesn't have much effect on humans. Kyurem guards it because he wants to protect the future, even if that future is the world's destruction. Because of this, no human has ever gotten close enough to defeat it even though many other humans were brought to the world. On the way back to Post Town through Scorching Desert, Kyurem attacks the three, destroys Hydreigon's physical form, and mercilessly brutalizes the Player, only stopping when the Partner begs for mercy. Kyurem spares the Player and leaves, but not before revealing the Bittercold will destroy the world in a few days.
When the Player and Partner return to Post Town, they reveal the to the rest of their team the existence of the Bittercold and it's threat. The others decide to work together to stop the Bittercold and save the world. In order to try and weaken the Bittercold's power, the Player and Partner tell the Pokémon of Post Town about the Bittercold to start spreading a message of hope to change the negativity of the world into faith. However, during the meeting, an earthquake occurs and everyone discovers the Glacier Palace holding the Bittercold is now floating through the air and moving slowly across the sky. Umbreon and Espeon decide to user their entercards to create a Magnagate to the Glacier Palace while Dunsparce decides to stay behind and rally the Pokémon of Post Town. After getting past Salamence, the group uses the Magnagate to travel to the floating Glacier Palace. After getting past Munna's gang and even defeating Kyurem, the Player and Partner reach the Bittercold's chamber.
Immediately after reaching the Bittercold, the Winds of Despair cause the Partner to collapse and even the Player begins feel the effects of the Winds of Despair, but the power of encouragement from the other Pokémon soon suppresses them and the battle begins. After a few turns, the player realizes their attacks are not working and begins to lose hope and the winds return. With the encouragement of the other Pokémon and their Partner, the Player manages to muster up enough strength to smash the front of the Bittercold open, exposing it's core. The damage to the bittercold causes the darkness over the Glacier Palace to briefly dissipate and reveal the disappeared Rainbows of Hope. The other Pokémon in Post Town witness this and the return of the rainbows causes them to regain hope and encouragement. The Player hears the encouragements of everyone and the battle restarts. The player manages to defeat the Bittercold and shattering it, ending it's threat to the world. After this, the winds once again dissipate, and without the Bittercold's power Glacier Palace begins to fall from the sky, but Kyurem saves all those who were on it.
