Pokémon world locations

The Cold Storage (Japanese: 冷凍コンテナ Freezing Container) is a building in Pokémon Black and White found inside of an area of warehouses to the south of Driftveil City. After defeating Ghetsis, Zinzolin of the Seven Sages can be found and arrested here.

During the two year gap between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, the facility was demolished to make room for the Pokémon World Tournament.

Geography

Despite being a series of buildings, only one of the Cold Storage warehouses can be entered. Inside this warehouse, some of the floors are frozen over, resulting in ice skating puzzles. There are multiple Workers inside the warehouse who will battle the player. In the back of the warehouse is a container, where Zinzolin is both first and last encountered.

Outside the warehouses, there are additional Trainers who can be battled, as well as some tall grass and a Vending Machine.

The Cold Storage in the anime

The Cold Storage appeared in The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue! where Dr. Ferrara, also known as Cryogonal Man, planned to steal the frozen treats to attract Pokémon. However, his plans were foiled by Ash and his friends, along with Charles and Linda.

In the manga

The Cold Storage in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Black and Cheren went to the Cold Storage in Fight in a Cold Climate, following a pair of Team Plasma Grunts who had stolen Cheren's Snivy. Thanks to the two's teamwork, Snivy was recovered, after which the two defeated the Grunts' two Beartic with their newly learned Grass Pledge–Fire Pledge combo. The Grunts were then ordered to retreat by Zinzolin.

In True Friends, Cheren revealed that he had later returned to the Cold Storage to learn more about Team Plasma's motives. At the Cold Storage, he had met Zinzolin, who had taken him to see how N awakened Zekrom. Upon seeing this, Cheren had chosen to start following Team Plasma's ideals.

In the Black 2 & White 2 arc, the Cold Storage was revealed to have been abandoned while the Pokémon World Tournament construction had begun nearby. In PS535, Colress confronted Zinzolin inside the building, asking him to tell him what he knew about Kyurem, which he had been searching in disregard of Ghetsis's orders. Colress eventually figured out that Zinzolin had in fact managed to find and capture Kyurem, which was confirmed by Zinzolin himself, revealing that Kyurem was with them in the Cold Storage as they were speaking. As Zinzolin refused to hand over Kyurem to Colress, the two started battling, with Colress eventually defeating Zinzolin with Thundurus and Landorus. The noises of the battle caught the attention of Blake, who had come through the Relic Passage, following the cold air produced by Kyurem. Noticing Blake, Colress used the Reveal Glass to transform Thundurus and Landorus into their Therian Formes.

Trivia

• The in-game maps show the Cold Storage to be on the mainland of Unova. However, the facility is actually on an island.
• If a Pokémon caught in the Cold Storage is traded to Black 2 and White 2, its status screen will say it was caught at the "PWT".
