History of Repeating Conflicts

From our survey, we learned Chien-Pao was captured by Team Plasma.

The other three still haven't been spotted.

That's enough for me to work with. Thanks for the report.

I suppose that means you are unaware of what I was trying to accomplish.

Team Flare has tasked all our members with protecting Chi-Yu.

That's Chi-Yu, without a doubt!

That Pokémon is a treasure of ruin?!

I've heard you know a lot about these ruinous Pokémon.

If you don't mind, could you teach me more about Chi-Yu?

Sure. I appreciate that you're trying to keep it safe.

Chi-Yu is a set of curved beads that sparked many conflicts. Envy accumulated within those beads...

and that envy clad itself in fire and became a Pokémon, or so they say.

Envy... So that's Chi-Yu's true form.

According to the legends, at least.

I was right to take it in, then.

Had I left Chi-Yu to fend for itself, foolish humans would have fought over it.

I shudder to think how that would affect Chi-Yu, the very embodiment of envy, enshrouded in flames.

How kind of you. Were you really that worried for Chi-Yu?

Of course.

With Chi-Yu in my custody, fewer people will see it...

and the chances of it causing conflict will be much lower.

Isn't that just wishful thinking?

Conflicts will happen sooner or later, even without Chi-Yu there to spark them.

Why do you say that?

History has proven people will always find a reason to fight.

Spoken like a true history teacher, I suppose.

That said...

People can learn from the past. Many have tried not to repeat their foolish mistakes.

History has proven that too.

... ... ...

Yeah. People do make mistakes.

But we'd be wrong to judge people by only their mistakes. They're only one part of us!

True...

We can leave the history lesson at that.

So about these ruinous Pokémon... So far, we know where two of them are.

Yup! It sounds like Chien-Pao is with Team Plasma.

I have no idea why, but it seems to trust Ghetsis.

(Trust? That's hard to believe, knowing him.)

(I'll have to see this for myself.)

You kept your word, only wanting to chat.

Perhaps it was presumptuous of me to worry you'd be so insolent as to stage an ambush.

Stand down.

Understood!

That Pokémon, Chien-Pao...

I hear it placed a great deal of trust in you.

Trust?

Myah-ha-ha-ha! What foolish blather!

Trust? Preposterous! I'm merely USING it!

Chien-Pao just happens to share my penchant for taking hatred out on others!

I must admit, it would be a shame to lose such a useful tool.

After all...

If it had no utility, I wouldn't have kept it in the first place.

... ... ...

In all my years...

I don't think I've ever encountered someone as despicable as you.

Agreed.

Enough blithering!

I only agreed to meet so I could take Chi-Yu!

Now hand it over, without any fuss!

That's my line.

I cannot allow Chien-Pao to remain with the likes of you!

Allow us to assist you, Lord Ghetsis.

We'll take care of them!

Myah-ha-ha-ha! Is that all you can do?!

Doesn't Team Flare believe in your dream of creating a "beautiful world" free of conflict?

Such a pity you seem too weak to make it happen!

Must I fight to create a world without conflict?

It's exceedingly contradictory.

Whimpering now, are you?

For some time, I've suppressed this feeling, due to a promise I made a friend.

But now...

my desire for a beautiful world has overtaken me!

Deep in my heart, the flames of my convictions blaze!

Hmph! They've gained the upper hand.

I'll retreat for now. But one day, Chi-Yu WILL be mine!

... ... ...

(If such foul people exist even on Pasio...)

(then I MUST use Chi-Yu's flames...)

Whoa! Amazing!

Serena and Greninja are totally in sync! ♪

A new Mega Evolution...

You pulled ahead of me, but I'll catch up!

I'll be waiting for you!

It's great how you two strengthen each other as you aim higher!

Well... Perhaps it is still too early to judge.

Power that is too strong can corrupt humans.

I suppose when I am with Chi-Yu, my own heart is put to the test.

It is because of such foolish humans...

that I must do what only I can, for both a beautiful Pasio and those with righteous hearts!
