In the plaza of the small village, a man with green hair and wearing a red monocle stood on the platform.
He raised both hands in front of him, continuously shouting passionate slogans from his mouth.
Each time he finished a few sentences, the Plasma Team members below the platform, dressed in white, would erupt into cheers.
The atmosphere grew more and more fervent, and many villagers from the village were drawn in by Ghetsis' speech.
Seeing more and more people gathering below, Ghetsis' lips curled upward, and in his fanatical eyes, a barely noticeable trace of mockery flashed across.
'Looks like my ideology finally succeeded.'
This village was just a pilot test. Once the people here released their Pokémon, he would move on to towns, even cities.
'In just a few years, the entire Unova Region will become my private territory.'
Thinking this, Ghetsis' speech became even more impassioned.
Under the influence of his charismatic speech, a few trainers began to waver.
"Tauros, should I release you?"
"Spearow, without me, you should have a better life…"
"Goodbye, Beedrill, I'll visit you in the forest someday!"
Voices like these echoed endlessly. More and more people released their Pokémon from their Poké Balls and waved goodbye to them.
Ghetsis' lips curled up madly. Clenching both fists, his voice was filled with infectious power, "Now some people have realized their mistakes and given their Pokémon the best home.
"What about the rest of you? Can you bear to let the Pokémon who live with you day and night keep living this way?
"Because of you, Pokémon have lost themselves.
"Because of you, Pokémon live every day in suffering.
"Ask your conscience, do you think you're worthy of your Pokémon?"
Just as Ghetsis was getting excited, a sudden sound of hoofbeats rang out.
The sound drifted unpredictably, as if each step pierced through space itself.
By the time Ghetsis turned around, a pink knight radiating a sci-fi aura had already appeared below the platform.
Behind the female knight, a gentle-looking young man gently held the knight's arm.
"Gardevoir?", Seeing the appearance of the knight, Ghetsis' face showed slight displeasure.
During the process of spreading this ideology, what he least wanted to encounter were Pokémon with the Telepathy or Justice Heart abilities.
The former are difficult to manipulate, and the latter are easily driven by righteousness, often ruining his plans.
Especially Pokémon like Gardevoir, whether or not they have telepathy, they can always clearly perceive human good and evil.
Ghetsis waved at his subordinate beside him. The subordinate instantly understood and summoned a completely gray Pokémon with a disproportionately large head.
A Psychic-type Pokémon, Beheeyem.
The moment this Pokémon appeared, Axel narrowed his eyes slightly.
This Pokémon's formal battle ability wasn't strong, but in field battles and unregulated fights, its performance was ridiculous.
The reason was simple, this Pokémon could manipulate others' memories.
"Gardevoir, attack!"
The moment Axel's words fell, Ghetsis was dumbfounded.
'What the heck?'
'We haven't even made a move yet, and you're attacking first?'
'Exactly who's the villain here, bro?'
Gardevoir gently raised her hand, the icy spear in her grasp hurled out with a roar.
An endless blizzard manifested from thin air, turning the path between Axel and Beheeyem into a snowy kingdom, the extreme cold instantly flooding into Beheeyem's mind.
Before it or its trainer could react, the ice spear brushed past Beheeyem's body, directly hitting its trainer, piercing through the person's arm.
The spear didn't stop, landing on a distant tree, transforming a large section of forest into ice sculptures.
Ghetsis' expression first showed shock, then fury, and finally… surprise.
Though he didn't know who the troublemaker was, one thing was certain, that guy was doomed.
Ghetsis had done years of research and was very familiar with the Unova Region's league laws.
His speech at best counted as incitement, it wouldn't warrant interference from Officer Jenny.
But Axel was different. He had actually allowed his Pokémon to attack a trainer.
No matter where you were, that was a serious crime.
"There's a criminal who's broken into the village and even harmed one of our public speaker group members!"
"Everyone, let's go! Capture this dangerous guy and take him to Officer Jenny!"
Hearing Ghetsis' words, Axel grinned.
If it were someone else, they might worry about whether they could attack the Plasma Team in public.
After all, they hadn't technically broken any laws and were using a relatively soft approach.
But today, they were facing Axel.
Just a few days ago, Jenny from Officer Jenny Headquarters had invited Axel to tour the Unova Jenny HQ. Now was the perfect time to bring Ghetsis over, consider it a gift for Jenny.
As for the reason?
He'd think of something later.
Sensing Axel's thoughts, Gardevoir blinked lightly, her face breaking into a radiant smile.
'These villains… deserve this kind of treatment.'
Gardevoir recalled the scene of Ghetsis using Black Kyurem to try and kill Axel, and her eyes brimmed with killing intent, almost becoming tangible.
'This guy… doesn't even deserve to be brainwashed.'
"Neighhh!"
Sensing Gardevoir's fighting spirit, Glastrier raised its front hooves, surging with powerful Ground-type energy, and charged toward Ghetsis on the platform.
At the same time, the armor covering Glastrier's body glowed brilliantly, instantly increasing its defense.
Still the High Horsepower + Iron Defense combo move. But thanks to the form change, its power was now several times stronger than it had been when facing N.
Almost reflexively, Ghetsis rolled off the platform, summoning Hydreigon, Haxorus, Eelektross, Cofagrigus, and several other Pokémon.
Seeing Ghetsis' lineup, Gardevoir's lips curled into a mocking smile.
If this had been ten minutes ago, perhaps she would've needed Mewtwo's help to handle these Pokémon.
But now… they were nothing more than petty rabble.
The pink cloak on Gardevoir's body spread wide, transforming into countless sparkling pink butterflies.
Rich Fairy energy immediately flooded the village. The sunlight in the sky was blotted out by dark clouds.
In the next moment, a massive bright full moon hung in the sky—
Moonblast Field!
