Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Yveltal: Seriously? You’re Playing Dirty?

How should Eternal Flower Floette be described?

It is a special form of Floette. As everyone knows, the normal evolution of Floette is Florges, a Fairy-type Pokémon with decent strength.

The Eternal Flower form is not an evolution, but its base stats are actually not weaker than Florges at all.

In the games, Florges has a total base stat of 552, while Eternal Flower Floette has 551.

It is worth mentioning that although the data for Eternal Flower Floette exists in the games, as of now, there is no way to obtain it.

There is no legitimate way!

Previously, Eternal Flower Floette could only be obtained by using cheat codes. It was never even distributed through official events.

Furthermore, Eternal Flower Floette has its own signature move: the Fairy-type move Light of Ruin.

Light of Ruin has a power of 140. Among regular Fairy-type moves, it currently has the highest power.

As an Eternal Flower that exists only in the story, its origin is very clear.

It was originally AZ's ordinary Floette that died during the war. However, after being hit by the light of the Ultimate Weapon, it was brought back to life and changed into the Eternal Flower.

The Pokédex description for the Eternal Flower is as follows:

"Terror-filled energy hides within that ominous flower, yet the Pokémon waves it around innocently. (Eternal Flower)"

There is no doubt that the Ultimate Weapon changed this Floette, because the Ultimate Weapon was powered by a massive amount of life energy.

Just how many Pokémon lives did AZ sacrifice back then to revive this Eternal Flower Floette? Perhaps only AZ himself knows the answer.

Damian was actually quite interested in this Eternal Flower. However, he would not go so far as to separate AZ and Eternal Flower Floette for it. They were two companions who had been separated for three thousand years.

Damian did not consider himself a good person. Many times, he would use any means necessary to reach his goals, but he truly had his own bottom line.

Otherwise, this world would have been a complete mess a long time ago.

For example, he really wanted Hoopa. But Damian clearly understood the bond between Unbound Hoopa and the siblings, Baraz and Meray, a bond closer than family. Therefore, he would not force the issue.

"I'll give it a try when the time comes."

Damian thought for a moment. Sooner or later, he would also bathe in the light of the Ultimate Weapon to gain eternal life.

When that time came, he could just bring a Floette along to bathe in the light with him. Maybe it would change too?

In any case, being hit by the light would not cause any harm to that Floette.

If it didn't work, it would be a shame, but if it succeeded, it would be a huge surprise.

After waiting for a while, AZ and Eternal Flower Floette finally calmed down from the excitement of their reunion.

"Congratulations. It looks like my words really brought good luck. I just said I believed you two would meet again."

Damian spoke to AZ with a smile.

"Thank you. Thank you very much, stranger," AZ said to Damian gratefully, a sincere smile appearing on his weathered face.

Eternal Flower Floette sat on AZ's shoulder, looking at Damian with curiosity.

"My name is Damian."

"I am AZ." AZ felt that the name sounded a bit familiar, but he did not think too much about it. He reached out his hand to Damian.

Damian shook AZ's hand. However, compared to AZ, Damian's hand looked quite tiny.

AZ's body was unusually tall, far beyond a normal person's.

"Damian, you're interested in the Ultimate Weapon, right?"

AZ glanced at the Ultimate Weapon. He could see that Damian placed great importance on this machine.

"That's right. To be honest, I want to gain eternal life along with my lover, and the Ultimate Weapon can help me."

Damian did not deny it, because there was no point in doing so.

"I see..."

AZ fell silent. But since he had already resolved the knot in his heart, he did not try to stop him.

Even though he had suffered because of this "curse" of eternal life, he had to admit that at this moment, reunited with Eternal Flower Floette, he felt grateful for that "curse" in his heart.

Otherwise, how could he feel this current happiness and joy?

"However, starting the Ultimate Weapon requires a key. Originally, I had the key, but it was taken from me earlier."

AZ mentioned this fact. The person who took his key was Lysandre.

But what AZ did not tell Damian was that, strictly speaking, he had given up the key voluntarily.

Because Lysandre was a descendant of his younger brother. That's right, AZ was actually Lysandre's ancestor.

It was precisely because he knew this that AZ gave up the key to the Ultimate Weapon of his own free will. Otherwise, Lysandre really would not have been able to do anything to AZ.

Even though AZ had been living in a daze and despair for three thousand years, his strength as a Trainer was actually quite good. He was at the Champion level.

He was at least much stronger than Lysandre.

"I know. I've already obtained the key." Damian certainly had not overlooked that point.

AZ nodded.

"Where do you plan to go next, AZ?"

Damian asked AZ.

"I don't know. But I've decided to pull myself together and start living a good life again."

AZ smiled. His mental state had truly changed.

The man who was originally lifeless had once again found hope for life and longing for the future.

Because he had eternal life, he would head toward the future together with Eternal Flower Floette. Naturally, he needed to get his emotions in order.

"In that case, I have a suggestion. Would you like to consider it?"

Damian thought for a bit.

"What suggestion?" AZ could not help but feel curious.

"Actually, I am the leader of Team Rocket. I have many businesses under my name."

Damian gave a brief introduction of himself.

"Team Rocket... No wonder. While I was traveling before, I heard others talking about your name," AZ said as he realized it.

No wonder he felt the name Damian was familiar. He had heard many passersby talking about that name recently.

"I'm just a little famous." Damian was very modest.

"I'm planning to open several shops in Lumiose City. This includes hotels, restaurants, jewelry stores, and things like that."

"If you're willing, AZ, I can give you one of the businesses to manage. Since you've reunited with Floette, you need a job, right? After all, you can't let such a cute Floette go without even being able to afford Pokéblocks."

"This..."

AZ hesitated. He looked at Eternal Flower Floette. Eternal Flower Floette blinked at him.

"But Damian, I don't have management experience, and I've never done business..." AZ said helplessly.

Actually, he was a bit interested, and he also understood that Damian was helping him in a roundabout way.

But the problem was, he didn't know how to do it!

Three thousand years ago he was a king, but that was three thousand years ago. Besides, after wandering for three thousand years, he did not understand these things at all.

"It's fine. If you don't know how, you can learn slowly. I will arrange for professionals to be your assistants."

"I have full confidence in your abilities. A person who can create the Ultimate Weapon has undeniable talent."

Damian teased.

"...Thank you, Damian." AZ pursed his lips. His gratitude toward Damian was now beyond words.

He did not refuse. Damian was right. Even if it was just to give Floette a good life, he needed a job.

However, AZ had already decided in his heart that he must repay Damian's kindness.

"No need to be polite. Then, welcome to Team Rocket."

"Thank you."

"I said there's no need to thank me. And..."

The corners of Damian's mouth slowly curled up. He looked at AZ meaningfully.

"Our time will be very long, won't it?"

Hearing this, AZ was stunned. Then, he let out a laugh. True, Damian had already said he wanted eternal life as well.

Their world would indeed be very, very long.

But how should he put it?

AZ didn't hate it right now. He was even starting to look forward to it. After all, this way, to him, Damian was a true "companion."

After chatting for a bit, Damian looked at the Ultimate Weapon again.

"Are you going to start it now? But operating it requires a massive amount of energy."

As the creator of the Ultimate Weapon, no one in this world understood it better than AZ.

"No. I think my body can still develop for another year. Otherwise, if I get stuck at this stage, it won't be perfect."

Damian shook his head.

Hearing Damian's reason, AZ was a bit surprised. But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Caitlin also fell into thought. She looked down at her own chest. Hmm, I wonder if I can still develop.

"I've already made an agreement with Xerneas. When the time comes, I'll use its energy to start the Ultimate Weapon. So there's no need to worry about the energy."

Damian looked at the surroundings. The Ultimate Weapon was so big that it was not very convenient to hide.

Since that was the case, he might as well put it back down.

"Shadow Mewtwo."

Damian released Shadow Mewtwo again.

"Stuff it back underground."

Shadow Mewtwo's body slowly floated up. Its eyes were filled with psychic power. It raised its hand, and blue psychic energy took control of the entire Ultimate Weapon.

As Shadow Mewtwo gradually pressed its palm down, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, the massive Ultimate Weapon slowly sank.

Finally, the entire Ultimate Weapon disappeared underground.

"Level the ground."

Shadow Mewtwo remained silent. It manipulated its psychic power again to stir up waves of soil. In the blink of an eye, the Ultimate Weapon was completely buried, and the ground looked flat and natural.

"Impressive!"

AZ could not help but praise it from the bottom of his heart. It was the first time he had seen a Pokémon use psychic power so naturally and smoothly like Shadow Mewtwo.

So powerful.

"This way, we don't have to worry about the Ultimate Weapon being exposed. We can just pull it out the next time we need to use it."

Damian nodded with satisfaction. Next, he would send a Team Rocket squad to stay in Geosenge Town to guard this place for him.

That way, he could be completely at ease.

"Next, after doing one last thing, you should come back to Lumiose City with me, AZ."

"Okay." AZ nodded. "If you need my help with anything, just say so."

"It's nothing. It's just that a Pokémon I recently caught might be a bit disobedient, so I need to give it a little education."

Damian took out Yveltal's Poké Ball. A playful smile appeared on his lips.

Educating a recently caught Pokémon? How?

AZ looked at Damian in confusion.

But soon, he understood.

In a wide open area in the wild, Damian opened Yveltal's Poké Ball.

"Come out."

"Skreee!"

With a flash of white light, Yveltal, who was still heavily injured, let out a furious shriek. Its wings, which looked like demon claws, spread wide.

Yveltal was very angry right now!! Extremely angry!

That damn colorful deer! It had actually used its hooves to kick it over and over again!

Every time it woke up while still dizzy, the deer would kick it unconscious again.

Damn it, taking advantage of an injured bird! If it had not been heavily injured at the time, how could it have been humiliated like that by that damn colorful deer?!

This was unbearable! It was going to explode!

Yveltal let out another furious shriek. Ominous red light flashed all over its body. It was going to kill that colorful deer!

But...

"Cool down and calm down first. I know you're very angry right now, and you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet."

Damian found this somewhat funny and spoke to Yveltal.

Hearing the voice, Yveltal lowered its head. Its cold, piercing gaze locked directly onto Damian.

"You should know, right? You've been caught by me now. So I ask you, are you willing to become my partner? A partner who can rely on and trust me?"

Damian's tone was very kind.

"Skreee!!"

However, the only response Damian got was a cold, arrogant cry.

Ridiculous. A partner?

Yveltal had never thought about having a partner. It did not need a partner. It was Yveltal!

"Not willing, huh? Why don't you look at the surroundings before answering me?"

Damian raised an eyebrow.

"Skreee!!!" However, Yveltal didn't pay Damian any attention at all.

Look at the surroundings before answering? Yveltal was disdainful.

What could possibly be in the surroundings...

Yveltal looked around. Its eyes narrowed.

On the left, blue and golden light shone. The Primal Kyogre.

On the right, Reshiram stood proudly.

In front, Shadow Mewtwo Y slowly floated up from behind Damian. Its eyes, flashing with purple flames, were full of pressure.

Behind it, Shadow Lugia's blood-red eyes were terrifying and oppressive.

Yveltal instantly felt a thick, terrifying pressure. But there was more!

It also felt a strong, heavy sense of oppression coming from above.

Yveltal raised its head. What entered its sight was a giant, constantly swirling black space-time vortex.

The master of the Distortion World, the violent counterpart of the Creator. Origin Forme Giratina was currently sticking half of its head out from the Reverse World, looking violent and cold.

Yveltal, who was already heavily injured to begin with, suddenly felt its whole body go stiff.

Surrounded on all sides! It was completely surrounded!!

Seriously???

You're playing dirty??
