AzPhantom Forces #117 Pokémon Card

AZ, or A.Z., is a significant non-player character introduced in the sixth generation of Pokémon games, specifically Pokémon X and Y. He is a mysterious and ancient king of the Kalos region, cursed with immortality after creating the ultimate weapon to end a devastating war 3,000 years prior. His immense grief over the loss of his beloved Floette, whom he resurrected using the weapon, led to its activation, resulting in the destruction of countless lives and his subsequent eternal wandering. AZ is known for his towering height, gaunt appearance, and long, flowing white hair, often seen wearing a distinctive red beanie and a green scarf. His narrative arc explores themes of war, loss, and the consequences of wielding ultimate power, culminating in a poignant reunion with his Floette. While not a Pokémon himself, his story is deeply intertwined with the lore of the Kalos region and the legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal. He represents a pivotal figure in understanding the history and motivations behind Team Flare's destructive goals.
