These youngsters are Riders,
continuing their quest to find blackened Kinship Ores
and stop the Black Blight, spreading across the world.
Using the power of Dr. Manelger's Mecha Kinship Stone,
Cheval has hatched the legendary white dragon egg.
I'm the one who'll be the next Redan!
The white dragon has responded!
I'm the one the white dragon has chosen!
Thus the "dragon white" of legend is born!
Could this mean Cheval is the legendary Redan?
Cheval, wait!
Cheval!
I'm going after him!
Help me out here, Ratha!
Cheval...
"Monster Hunter Stories RIDE ON"
"Episode 46: The Legendary White Dragon is Born!"
Did you hear that earlier?
I did.
That's the white dragon of legend.
What now?
All we can do now is trust those children.
Yep. We've got this baby to deal with!
Where are Cheval and the white dragon?
Navirou knows. He knows, all right!
That way!
C'mon, wait up! Wait for me!
What are you doing? You'll be left behind!
I already have been!
Darn it all! Time to get serious!
They're not here.
We musta lost 'em.
Lute!
Lilia!
Check out my full-tilt dash!
Normally Navirou'd say something snarky here,
but our situation is hardly normal.
Navirou'll let this one go.
Sorry, Debli.
Hey! No one asked you, anyway!
Lute, I'll look for Cheval, too.
No--we don't know what'll happen from here on out.
You wait here, Lilia.
I don't want to!
I've been searching all this time...
...searching for the real Cheval.
I want to see him.
I want to talk with him.
It'll be okay. If I can talk to him, I'm sure he'll understand!
All right, Lilia.
Thanks, Lute.
Right! Let's split up and look for Cheval!
Yeah! Good ol' Debli here'll find him for sure!
All right, we're off!
We'll take the long way around and search the surroundings, too!
Got it!
C'mon!
Oh, uh, right!
And I was so ready and rarin' to go...
--Cheval!
--Sheesh... --Cheval!
--Both Cheval and Lute can fly. --Cheval!
--Meanwhile, we're stuck walking! --Cheval!
Eh?
Huh?
Hey, Lilia! What's this?
Huh?
This is...
It says something.
"The Ore-born Blight
is become the Black Dread,
thwarting the workings of all."
Which means?
In other words,
a Blight that was affected by the Zalam Kinship Ore
turned into the Black Dread,
wiping out this village and everything in it.
What?!
No way...
So this place--
Lilia! Over there!
Cheval!
And Manelger and his flunky, too!
Lute! That was Lilia's whistle!
Right. Let's go, Ratha!
There they are.
Cheval!
Ah-ah-ah!
You can't just waltz right up to Cheval, you know!
I'm sad to say Cheval is no longer your pal.
He is none other than Redan!
Cheval's a hero now, thanks to the Kinship Stone I created!
What?!
Get out of my way!
I need to talk to Cheval!
Cheval!
How could you?
Why'd you give your precious Kinship Stone to them?!
The white dragon responded to me.
Not to anyone else.
I'm the one who will stop the Black Blight.
You can't stop me--not anymore.
Knowing this...
...would you still try?
I have to.
Wha-a-at?! That's the legendary white dragon you're up against!
Ride On!
Rathalos!
You shall know the power of the white dragon!
Go!
Behold: this is the white dragon's might!
White Breath!
Lute, this one's a force to be reckoned with!
This is a power bestowed only upon the chosen ones.
No one but I can stop the Black Blight.
Next one's for keeps.
Now!
Lute!
I feel a terrific power coursing all through me now,
like nothing I've ever known!
This... This is the legendary Redan!
The person I am now can do anything at all!
Take him down.
Get out of the way, Lute!
Ra... Ratha!
Are you okay?!
Ratha... you protected me!
It's no use.
Team up with your Monstie all you like--
you're no match for me now.
No one is.
Finish him off!
What's wrong? Do it!
What's the matter, sir?
Look!
His Kinship Stone!
Oh! What's that?!
What the heck is going on?
It can't be...
What the--?!
Sir! It's cracking!
Just like something's trying to hatch!
Mmm...
What...
Sir!
That dragon was so shimmering white, and now it's... it's...
...it's so black!
No--is that the Black Dread?!
I don't know. But...
If it is,
then have we brought back that Black Dread
to live again, here and now?
You should never have used that Mechinship Stone
to force the white dragon to hatch!
They went and formed the wrong kind of Kinship!
But you responded to me! Didn't you?!
Cheval!
Rathi?!
--Cheval! --Y-You're kiddin' me!
Cheval?!
Cheval!
Ride On!
Rathalos!
Cheval!
Lute!
I have to save him!
Count Navirou in!
Lute!
We're coming, too!
Let's go.
Eh?
We're going to look for Cheval?
Cheval has served his purpose.
Right now the only thing I care about is that.
Cheval!
He-ey! Where are you?
Cheval!
Where the heck are you, Cheval?!
Rathi...
No...
Rathi...
Rathi!
I don't believe in any Kinship!
Rathian, I'm done with you!
Rathi...
But why?
I'm breaking it off. All of it.
Don't come after me!
Rathi...
Why...
Why did you...
Rathi... I'm sorry.
Rathi...
Rathi!
Rathi... Thank goodness...
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
Rathi...
Ah!
Oh!
Cheval?
Phew!
Rathi here...
She protected me.
Even though I'd cast her aside.
Even though I'd severed the Kinship
that bound us together.
But...
A Kinship bound can never be broken.
That's what you always told me, Lute.
Yeah.
Right, Rathi?
Back when I found Rathi's egg,
I was so happy--so excited.
And so
I thought I'd surprise you and the others,
and sneaked it into the house.
Is that really a Rathian egg?
Yep--it sure is!
If Lute's Rathalos is "Ratha," that makes your Rathian "Rathi."
And that's why... my mom...
You were trying to protect her, weren't you, Lute?
Yet what happened to her...
I blamed it on you.
I...
I wanted so much.
Like strength.
I wanted power.
That way...
Yeah. That way you could keep everyone safe.
We all tried like crazy to protect the village.
What have I even been doing?
I'm so glad!
You and Rathi are safe and sound!
Lute...
Rathi... thank you!
Thank goodness.
I've finally seen him:
the real Cheval.
This is good, all right--real good!
Why are you crying?!
Shaddup! You're crying, aren'tcha?!
Navirou is not crying either!
Navirou never cries in public!
And that's... a Navi-rule.
Cheval, this here is Lute. Play nice, all right?
Yep! Nice to meet you, Lute!
Same here, Cheval!
I mean, you do know everything about me!
Well, I think you know everything about me!
Yep!
So do you, Cheval!
Lute?
That's because we're always together.
Because we're family, Cheval!
You don't have to say that.
That goes without saying!
How marvelous!
It's storing up a power that's even more tremendous!
Sir, this wouldn't be the time to stand around being impressed!
I'm telling you, this can't be good!
Huh?
What the--?! The sky!
Whoa! Is that...
Oh, no! The Black Blight is spreading!
We better hurry.
Ride On!
Rathalos!
And Navirou, too!
Lute! What are you doing?!
We have to stop it.
But--
Eh? Hey! I'm coming, too!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Doesn't it have way more power than before?
I will stop it!

Okay, time to form Kinship with your Monstie Egg!

"Deviljho"
Its giant mouth is constantly snapping up prey.
"Type: Power"
"Species: Brute Wyvern"
That's one ferocious monster!
"Overall Length: 402.3 cm"
No wonder they call it the "Violent Wyvern"!
"Overall Height: 163.6 cm (pumped up)"
