Documents kept in Lysandre Labs reveal more of AZ's story: he had a younger brother who wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed. After AZ ended the war by launching his weapon, his brother realized the error of his ways and sought to make amends for his actions by burying the weapon in an attempt to prevent it from ever being used again. | Documents kept in Lysandre Labs reveal more of AZ's story: he had a younger brother who wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed.

Although not by name, AZ is mentioned several times during the [[Delta Episode]] of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. He and his actions 3,000 years ago are first mentioned by [[Mr. Stone]], who tells that his grandfather got the idea to use the same energy used by the ultimate weapon to improve the lives of people and Pokémon alike, thus leading to the creation of [[Infinity Energy]], which the [[Devon Corporation]] used to grow into one of the top industries in [[Hoenn]]. Later, the player overhears [[Wallace]] talking with his master, learning that the tree planted in front of the entrance to the [[Cave of Origin]] was given to the people of {{ci|Sootopolis}} by a "huge man who visited from the Kalos region." Underneath the tree grows a flower of the same kind as the one carried by AZ's Floette. AZ is mentioned once more by [[Zinnia]] at the [[Sky Pillar]], telling that "a tall visitor from a distant land" | Although not by name, AZ is mentioned several times during the [[Delta Episode]] of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

|desc={{p|Golurk}} is AZ's second known Pokémon. It was used to attack {{adv|X}} and his friends in order to prevent them from stopping AZ's false attempt at reactivating the ultimate weapon. When {{adv|Y}} attempted to reason with AZ, Golurk turned into a cannon in order to attack her. X had [[Marisso]] attack Golurk in order to defend Y, but the attack was intercepted by AZ, destroying the ultimate weapon's key in the process. Afterward, AZ recalled Golurk back into its Poké Ball. | |desc={{p|Golurk}} is AZ's second known Pokémon.
