Quoted By:
A long time ago, some thousands of years before the events of the games and years before Arceus's stand against the meteor, the Gardevoir were pure fairy type, and they were monsters.
The Gardevoir delighted in the rape, torture and death of people and Pokemon alike. They travelled in hordes, and could appear at any time of the day or night without warning. Even if you saw them coming, precious few could even hope to fight back.
Armies were lost. Villages disappeared. Entire species vanished. To be taken by the Gardevoir was to be given an empty grave.
In their darkest hour, the world turned to their god.
The Gardevoir attacked the great temple of Arceus, the last bastion untouched by their evil, slaughtering everyone who had sought it's shelter and protection. As the innermost chamber was breached, Arceus appeared.
On the Gardevoir before it, Arceus passed it's judgement, and a blinding light filled the temple.
>ALL THE DAMAGE YOU HAVE DONE
>ALL THE PAIN YOU HAVE CAUSED
>ALL THE LIVES YOU HAVE TAKEN
>BY MY WILL
>YOU AND YOUR KIN WILL FOREVER KNOW
>BY MY MIND PLATE
>YOU WILL FEEL
>EVERYTHING
The Gardevoir vanished for some time. Some think they fled to escape the overwhelming grief of their actions. Some think they retreated so that their sudden newfound power adjustment wouldn't damage the fabric of the world. Some think they left to wage war against those among them who did not suffer Arceus's will.
When they returned, they were much more like the Gardevoir we know today, an echo of the lord's judgement buried in their chests.
