Eternal Flower Floette, how should I put this?
It's a 'variant' of Floette. As everyone knows, Floette's evolution is Florges, a Fairy-type Pokémon with decent strength.
However, Eternelle Flower is not an evolution, yet its base stats are by no means weaker than Florges.
In the game, Florges's base stats are 552, while Eternal Flower Floette's are 551.
It's worth noting that while data for Eternal Flower Floette exists in the game, there is currently no way to obtain Eternelle Flower.
There is no legitimate way!
Eternal Flower Floette could only be obtained through 'cheats' before this; it wasn't even given out in events.
Eternal Flower Floette also possesses its own exclusive move, the Fairy-type Light of Ruin.
Light of Ruin has a power of 140, making it currently the most powerful Fairy-type move.
As an Eternelle Flower that only exists in the storyline, its origin is also very clear.
It was Az's ordinary Floette that died in the war, but after being bathed in the light of the ultimate weapon, it was revived and transformed into Eternelle Flower.
The Pokedex entry for Eternelle Flower reads:
'That ominous flower contains terrifying energy, yet it innocently waves that flower. (Eternelle Flower)'
Undoubtedly, the ultimate weapon changed this Floette, because the activation of the ultimate weapon relied on a large amount of life energy.
How many Pokémon lives did Az sacrifice back then to revive this Eternal Flower Floette? Only Az himself probably knows the answer to that.
Mammon was actually very interested in this Eternelle Flower, but he wouldn't go so far as to break up Az and Eternelle Flower, friends who had been separated for three thousand years.
Mammon admitted he wasn't a good person; often, to achieve his goals, he could resort to unscrupulous means, but he truly had his own bottom line.
Otherwise, this world would have already been a mess.
Just like how he coveted Hoopa, but Mammon clearly understood the bond between Hoopa and the Baraz siblings, which was stronger than family, so he wouldn't force it.
"We'll try it then."
Mammon mused for a moment; he would eventually bathe in the light of the ultimate weapon to gain eternal life.
At that time, bringing a Floette to bathe in that light with him would be enough; who knows, it might mutate?
In any case, a quick exposure wouldn't harm that Floette.
He would be disappointed if it didn't succeed, but if it did, it would be a huge surprise.
After waiting for a while, Az and Eternelle Flower finally recovered from the excitement of their reunion.
"Congratulations to you both. It seems my words are blessed; I just said I believed you would reunite."
Mammon said to Az with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you very much, stranger." Az's weathered face showed a sincere smile as he thanked Mammon.
Eternal Flower Floette sat on Az's shoulder, curiously looking at Mammon.
"My name is Mammon."
"I am Az." Az felt the name sounded a bit familiar, but he didn't pay much attention to it, extending his hand to Mammon.
Mammon shook Az's hand, but compared to Az, Mammon's hand was quite small.
Az's body was indeed unusually tall.
"Mammon, you're interested in the ultimate weapon, aren't you?"
Az glanced at the ultimate weapon; he could tell Mammon valued this machine greatly.
"That's right, to be honest, I want to gain eternal life with my beloved, and the ultimate weapon can help me."
Mammon didn't deny it, because there was no point in doing so.
"I see…"
Az was silent, but having resolved his inner turmoil, he didn't try to dissuade Mammon.
Although he himself had suffered from this 'Curse' of eternal life, he couldn't deny that at this moment of reuniting with Eternelle Flower, he couldn't help but be grateful for this 'Curse'.
Otherwise, how could he feel the emotion and joy he had now?
"However, activating the ultimate weapon requires a key. Originally, I had this key, but it was taken from me earlier."
Az revealed this, and the one who took his key was Lysandre.
But what Az didn't tell Mammon was that, strictly speaking, he had willingly given up that key.
Because Lysandre was a descendant of his younger brother; yes, Az was essentially Lysandre's ancestor.
Knowing this, Az willingly handed over the ultimate weapon's key. Otherwise, Lysandre truly wouldn't have been able to do anything to Az.
Although Az had been in a daze and decadent for three thousand years, Az's Trainer strength was actually quite good, and he was also a Champion.
At least much stronger than Lysandre.
"I know, I've already obtained the key." Mammon certainly hadn't overlooked this.
Az nodded.
"Where are you going next, Az?"
Mammon asked Az.
"I don't know, but I've decided to cheer up and live a good life again."
Az smiled; his demeanor had truly changed.
The once lifeless him had rekindled his anticipation for life and yearning for the future.
Since he possessed eternal life, he would now go into the future with Eternelle Flower, so he naturally needed to get his emotions in order.
"In that case, I have a suggestion. Would you like to consider it?"
Mammon pondered for a moment.
"What suggestion?" Az couldn't help but be curious.
"Actually, I am the leader of Team Rockets, and I own many businesses."
Mammon briefly introduced himself.
"Team Rockets, no wonder… When I was wandering before, I also heard others talk about your name." Az suddenly realized.
No wonder he felt Mammon's name sounded familiar; he had heard many passersby talk about this name recently.
"Just a little famous, that's all." Mammon was very humble.
"I'm planning to open several shops in Lumiose City, including hotels, restaurants, and jewelry stores."
"If you're willing, Az, I can entrust one of these businesses to you to manage. After all, now that you've reunited with Floette, you also need a job, right? Otherwise, you can't let such a cute Floette not even be able to afford Energy Cubes, can you?"
"This…"
Az hesitated, glancing at Eternal Flower Floette, who blinked at him.
"But Mammon, I have no management experience, and I've never done business…" Az said helplessly.
He was actually a bit tempted, and he also understood that Mammon was indirectly helping him.
But the problem was, he didn't know how!
Three thousand years ago, he was a king, but that was three thousand years ago, and after wandering for three millennia, he simply didn't understand these things.
"It's alright; you can learn slowly. I'll arrange for a professional to be your assistant."
"I have unwavering faith in your abilities. Someone who could create the ultimate weapon undoubtedly possesses great talent."
Mammon teased.
"…Thank you, Mammon." Az pursed his lips; his gratitude towards Mammon was now boundless.
He didn't refuse. Mammon 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 Mammon's kindness.
"You're welcome. Then, welcome to Team Rockets."
"Thank you."
"I said you don't need to thank me, and besides…"
Mammon's lips slowly curved into a meaningful smile as he looked at Az.
"Our time together will be very long, won't it?"
Az was startled, then chuckled. He was right; Mammon had already said he also wanted eternal life.
Their world would indeed be very, very long.
But how to put it?
Az didn't dislike it at all at this moment; he even looked forward to it, because this way, for him, Mammon would truly be a 'companion'.
After a brief chat, Mammon looked towards the ultimate weapon again.
"Are you going to activate it now? But its operation requires a large amount of energy."
As the creator of the ultimate weapon, naturally no one in this world understood the ultimate weapon better than Az.
"No, I think my body can still develop for another year. Otherwise, being stuck at this stage wouldn't be perfect."
Mammon shook his head.
Hearing Mammon's reason, Az was a bit surprised, but upon closer thought, it seemed reasonable.
Caitlin also fell into contemplation, looking down at her chest. Hmm, she wondered if it could still develop?
"I've already arranged with Xerneas to use its energy to activate the ultimate weapon, so there's no need to worry about energy."
Mammon glanced around. Such a large ultimate weapon would actually be quite inconvenient to hide.
In that case, it was better to put it back down.
"Mewtwo."
Mammon released Dark Mewtwo again.
"Put it back underground."
Dark Mewtwo's body slowly floated up, its eyes filled with Psychic power. It raised its hand, and blue Psychic energy controlled the entire ultimate weapon.
As Dark Mewtwo's hand gradually pressed down, accompanied by a violent rumbling sound, the colossal ultimate weapon slowly sank.
Finally, the entire ultimate weapon disappeared underground.
"Level the ground."
Dark Mewtwo remained silent, again manipulating Psychic power to raise a wave of earth, completely burying the ultimate weapon in the blink of an eye, and the ground was also very flat and natural.
"Amazing~!"
Az couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart. It was the first time he had seen a Pokémon like Dark Mewtwo use Psychic power so naturally and smoothly.
It was incredibly awesome.
"This way, there's no need to worry about the ultimate weapon being exposed. We can just pull it out next time we need to use it."
Mammon nodded in satisfaction. Next, he would send a Team Rockets squad to stay in Geosenge Town to guard the place for him.
This way, he could be completely at ease.
"After we finish the last thing, Az, you can come back to Lumiose City with me."
"Okay." Az nodded: "If you need my help, please say so directly."
"No problem, it's just that the Pokémon I just caught might not be very obedient, so it needs some education."
Mammon took out Yveltal's Poké Ball, a playful smile on his lips.
Educate a newly caught Pokémon? How to educate?
Az looked at Mammon in confusion.
But very quickly, he understood.
In a wide area outdoors, Mammon opened Yveltal's Poké Ball.
"Come out."
"Caw~!"
White light flashed, and the still heavily injured Yveltal shrieked angrily, spreading its wings like demonic claws.
Yveltal was furious at this moment!! Extremely furious!
That damn seven-colored deer, it actually kicked it with its hooves again and again!
Every time it just woke up, still dazed! And it kicked it unconscious again.
Damn it, taking advantage of a bird's vulnerability! If it hadn't been severely injured at the time, how could it have been so humiliated by that damn seven-colored deer?!
This was unbearable; it was going to lash out!
Yveltal let out another furious shriek, its whole body flickering with dangerous, ominous red light. It was going to kill that seven-colored deer!
But…
"Calm down first, I know you're very angry and impatient right now, but don't rush."
Mammon found it somewhat amusing and said to Yveltal.
Yveltal lowered its head at the sound, its icy gaze fixed on Mammon.
"You should know, right? You've been caught by me now. So I ask you, are you willing to become my partner? A partner we can rely on and trust each other?"
Mammon's tone was very gentle.
"Caw!!"
However, Mammon was only met with a cold, defiant cry.
Ridiculous, a partner?
Yveltal had never thought it would have a partner, nor did it need one. It was Yveltal!
"You're not willing, huh? How about you look around and then answer me?"
Mammon raised an eyebrow.
"Caw!!!" However, Yveltal completely ignored Mammon.
Look around and then answer? Yveltal disdained the idea.
What could be around…
Yveltal looked around, its eyes narrowing.
To its left, azure and golden light shone, and the mythical Primal Kyogre calmly watched it.
To its right, the sacred and magnificent Reshiram stood proudly, its pure blue dragon eyes noble and cold.
In front, Dark Mewtwo Y slowly floated up from behind Mammon, its eyes, flickering with deep purple flames, exuded immense pressure.
Behind, the purplish-black Dark Lugia's blood-red eyes were terrifying and horrifying.
Yveltal instantly felt a strong, terrifying pressure, but there was more!
It also felt an intensely oppressive sensation, coming from above.
Yveltal looked up, and what met its eyes was a huge, constantly swirling black space-time vortex.
The master of the Distortion World, the Creator's violent avatar, Origin Forme Giratina, now poked half its head out of the Distortion World, violent and cold.
Already heavily injured, Yveltal instantly stiffened.
Besieged on all sides! Besieged on all sides!!
Seriously, dude???
Can't you take a joke?
