The Last Evil

Hey. Got a sec?

Ugh! You...

What're you doing here?!

I need more people to join me. Will you lend a hand?

There's a selfish "evil" out there that's trying to control the world by overpowering others.

All it does is steal what's precious to us, so I'm going to destroy it.

Th-that Pokémon!

Of course, I'm not asking you to help me for free.

I'll lend you Hoopa's power in return. How about it?

You serious, bro?

Wait. Why are you asking US to help you?

I thought you wanted to take down Team Break!

Because you all no longer have any goals or beliefs.

What...?

An organization's goals and beliefs...

They have the potential to create a different kind of evil.

But you...

Your goal of taking down the PML was ruined, and now your team lacks firm beliefs.

The most you've accomplished lately are pathetic thefts when nobody's looking.

Watch your mouth, you...

I'm just saying that you could accomplish something bigger if you join me.

Wh-what do you think?

B-but if we have to battle other organizations...

I...

I don't want Team Break to end like this.

I'll keep fighting, no matter who I have to join forces with!

Nice.

I don't hate how you think.

You're in Team Plasma, aren't ya?

Huh? Who are you?

Our leader sends his regards!

Waaaaaaaagh!

Yo! What'd we do to deserve this?!

Even if you haven't done anything bad yet, it's possible you will in the future!

Now stop talking back! Our newly reborn Team Break will take you down!

Cut it out! What are you doing?!

Shut up! If you're gonna resent someone, it should be your troublemaking friends!

Also, according to our leader...

anyone who gets in our way is an enemy!

Team Break's campaign to punish any and all "evil," led by Paulo, caused widespread chaos on Pasio.

Team Break was becoming a dangerous group that not many could oppose...

Dang. I can't find Paulo anywhere!

It's like he can see through our every move.

He probably studied our tendencies and how we think when he was working with us.

He was an avid learner, after all...

He even studied the villainous organizations we encountered so he could get stronger.

Ironically, that seems to have helped him strengthen Team Break.

That idiot...

Paulo's sense of justice is no longer reasonable.

I'm sure he's well aware of the fact that he'll have to face us eventually.

Wait a second. He...

The Paulo who fought beside us against those villainous organizations...

He would know that not all of their members are pure evil.

If he knows that, and he's still making Team Break attack them indiscriminately...

then what he's doing is undeniably evil.

... ... ...

Hate the crime, not the criminal...

As a member of the International Police, I am prepared to stop his out-of-control "justice."

And as an adult and his comrade, I must help him correct his path.

Looker...

Hey, Tina! Where are you...

I... I'll also do what I can.

I'll definitely, definitely, find him!

I have some research to do, so I'll take my leave.

Tina herself also requested it, after all!

What did you want to discuss, Archie?

You already know, don't ya?

I wanted to talk about Team Break and that little scamp, Paulo.

About how his ideals and sense of justice are out of control?

Archie... That sounds painfully familiar, doesn't it?

... ... ...

He lost his partner Pokémon and is now controlled by his own sadness and rage?

How will throwing away a bond change one's heart?

Perhaps I should observe this process and the results it will yield.

That BRAT!!!

Just as I was about to use Hoopa to carry out MY plans!

How dare he! He'll pay for this!

Before we begin, I'd like to thank you for your time, President Lusamine.

Now, what did you want to discuss with me and my foundation?

I'd like to have a chat about Team Break, that group causing problems all over Pasio.

Today, this man will also be joining us.

Oh! You're Galar's...

I'm hoping to discuss amongst ourselves how we should proceed.

Hey, Boss!

Our newly reborn Team Break has been giving the villains on Pasio a beatdown without a hitch!

...Is that so.

A lot of them are even surrendering to us in fear!

Our membership's been on the rise, too! No one can oppose Team Break!

Let's keep using Hoopa's power to get rid of all the evil in the world!

(These guys... They don't even realize they're being used.)

(I'll just let the villains keep on destroying each other.)

(From now on, I won't lose to anyone.)

(Until...)

(I'm taken down as the "last evil.")
