Perfection Cultist
|
Taen was a member of Perfection in Pokémon Insurgence. He used to be Reukra's right-hand man.
In the game
Taen first appears in the game as Harmony attempts to convince Orion to leave the Suntouched Gym by flying into the gym on his Kyurem. Once he lands, he explains that he only came to take Orion's white rock away from him. After slapping Orion, the white rock appears to awaken as Taen explains that he knew that the rock was actually Reshiram all along. He then goes on to explain the origin of Kyurem and Reshiram before leaving with Kyurem to pursue the fleeing Reshiram. Despite not interacting with the player at all during this scene, he appears to take note of their presence as he recognizes them later on.
The player's next encounter with Taen is inside of the Perfection Base. Here, Taen attempts to force both the player and Damian out of the base before Reukra interrupts him by explaining Perfection's interest in Mega Evolution. He then has the player battle Taen in order to see if they're worthy of being given a Mega Ring. After Taen has been defeated, he silently allows the player and Damian to leave as he returns to assisting Reukra.
Taen next appears with Reukra in the basement of the hospital in Sonata Hills. He only acts as support for Reukra until Harmony agrees to give Reukra access to her father, Malde.
In Kepler City, Taen commissions Anastasia to create a set of armor that will boost Zekrom's defenses and make it much more powerful. Reshiram appears shortly after, drawn by Zekrom, and is commanded by Orion to battle Zekrom in the hopes that they can defeat Zekrom and free it from Taen's control. However, the armor makes Zekrom too much for Reshiram to handle and Reshiram falls into Taen's hands, who heads off to the Dragon Ruins with his prize.
At the Dragon Ruins, the player is joined by Nora as they witness Taen attempt to resurrect the Original Dragon by fusing together Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem. However, this proves to be a failure as Taen does not know the name of the Original Dragon needed to complete the procedure. Angered by his failure, Taen takes on both Nora and the player in a double battle. Once defeated, Reshiram and Zekrom are freed as Taen vows to take revenge on the pair that defeated him.
