Ghetsis: Difference between revisions

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Ghetsis is revealed to be the true mastermind behind the new Team Plasma, which had seemingly been led by [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]] and the Shadow Triad. After Colress is defeated, Ghetsis confronts the player and angrily denounces Colress as being more interested in science than in Team Plasma's ambitions even after being appointed as the organization's official leader. He leaves the player to fight the Shadow Triad while he enters the [[Giant Chasm]] with {{p|Kyurem}}. By the time the player catches up with him, Ghetsis has prepared his plan to freeze all of [[Unova]]. He summons Kyurem to his side and orders it to use {{m|Glaciate}} on the player, only for [[N]] to arrive with Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} and interfere. This however was part of Ghetsis's plan, and while berating N for causing what will happen to Unova as a result of N's refusal to be his pawn in the previous games, Ghetsis uses the [[DNA Splicers]] to forcibly revert Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} into its [[Dragon Stones|stone form]]. Kyurem then fuses with the stone, creating Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis challenges the player to fight Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}, preventing it from being captured via a signal from his cane that disrupts the function of [[Poké Ball]]s. Upon the defeat of Kyurem, its Absofusion is reversed, separating it back into Kyurem and Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis flies into a rage and attacks the player, starting a final battle. When he is defeated, he suffers a mental breakdown and violently rejects the compassion N shows him. The Shadow Triad take him away from the Giant Chasm and later inform the player that Ghetsis is no longer mentally capable of any further criminal deeds, finally ending his threat to Unova.

:''"I'm sure most of you believe that we [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However... Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans... only assume that this is the truth?''

:''"Pokémon are subject to the selfish commands of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s... They get pushed around when they are our "partners" at work... Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I'm saying?''

;[[Castelia City]]

:''"My word, if it isn't the [[Gym Leader]], [[Burgh]]."''

:''"Indeed... No matter. We already have an exceptional base of operations. Is everyone familiar with the legend of the founding of the [[Unova]] [[region]]?"''

:''"The truth is this... The black{{sup/5|Bl}}/white{{sup/5|W}} dragon appeared before a [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|hero]] who sought the ideal{{sup/5|Bl}}/true{{sup/5|W}} way to knit together a world full of warring people. This black{{sup/5|Bl}}/white{{sup/5|W}} {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon shared its knowledge--and bared its fangs at those who stood against it. Together, the power of this Pokémon and the hero brought unity to the hearts of everyone in the land, and that is how Unova was created.''

:''"Myah-ha-ha-ha! You are quite hard to figure out--a little more intelligent than I'd expected. I am fond of intelligent people, you see. You'll enjoy hearing about this... From every corner of the world, I have gathered knowledgeable people for our king's benefit. You could call them the [[Seven Sages]]. Very well! We will submit to your opinion and be on our way.''

:''"[[Bianca|That girl]] over there... Return {{p|Munna|her Pokémon}}!"''

:''"[[Clay]]. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Ghetsis, of Team Plasma. I've come to pick up my associates who are in your care."''

:''"It looks like everyone is here. It seems you are working hard to resurrect Reshiram{{sup/5|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}, the other Dragon-type Pokémon, aren't you? But it appears the {{DL|Dragon Stones|Light Stone}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{DL|Dragon Stones|Dark Stone}}{{sup/5|W}} you seek is not here.''

:''"Well then, congratulations are in order! <Player>, you were chosen by our king. If you truly desire to keep the world as it is, where Pokémon live alongside people, you must bring the other Dragon-type Pokémon spoken of in legend and battle with our king. Otherwise, Team Plasma will steal every Pokémon from every person in the world and [[Released Pokémon|release]] them all!"''

:''"What's this? {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Alder]], even though illness took {{p|Larvesta|the Pokémon}} that had been your partner for many years, and you haven't had a serious battle in all that time... Even you, who ordered the Elite Four to protect the Pokémon League and left to wander the Unova region alone... Even a Champion like you now wants to protect a world where Pokémon and people live together? Team Plasma's king will show the people of Unova that he is stronger than a Champion who keeps Pokémon bound! And just like the hero who founded Unova, he will be accompanied by the legendary Pokémon. He will give this order! 'Trainers, release your Pokémon!' For this, we have prepared a suitable castle for the legendary Zekrom{{sup/5|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}} and our king!"''

:''"That blasted [[Colress]]!"'' (turns to the player and slams his cane) ''"The fool is far too committed to pure science. This is how he repays me for making him the boss of Team Plasma? How dare he put his personal intellectual curiosity before our ultimate mission of conquering Unova!"'' (steps right) ''"How fortunate for you! Few get to be the sole audience member for one of my speeches."'' (steps forward) ''"Team Plasma will use its knowledge and technology to take {{p|Kyurem}}'s true power to its absolute limit and freeze the Unova region. The terrified people and Pokémon will bow at Team Plasma's...no...at MY feet!"'' (walks closer and slams his cane) ''"Kyurem is an empty being. The remnants of a certain Pokémon when it split into Reshiram and Zekrom... My desire is absolute rule of Unova!"'' (walks closer) ''"That's right! Kyurem will be the vessel into which my desires will be poured!"''

:(to a [[Shadow Triad]] member) ''"It's finally here! The wonderful era in which I am the absolute ruler of Unova has finally arrived! I'll let you take care of this!"''

:''"I have a memory that has continued to haunt me. Just one. That unpleasant look in your eyes reminds me of it. That aside, this is my gift to you to show my respect for making it this far. I'll {{status|frozen|freeze}} you solid right here so you can watch my glorious ascent!"'' (slams his cane) ''"'''Kyurem! {{m|Glaciate}}!'''"''

:''"Oh, but it will! If I use these! The [[DNA Splicers]]!"''

:''"What's this? Your [[Poké Ball]]s are trembling. Could your Pokémon be shaking with rage?"'' (slams his cane) ''"No! That's not possible! Simple tools don't have emotion or thought! Come! Challenge Kyurem! Just so you know, catching it is impossible! My cane emits signals that disrupt the function of all Poké Balls!"''

:(turns away) ''"'''Shut your mouth! Shut up! Shut up! Shut UP! Don't talk like a person, you freak! No real person could talk to Pokémon!'''"''

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', N surrendered the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Colress releasing Ash's Pikachu from his control. Ghetsis then arrived at the White Ruins and initiated the ceremony, resulting in Reshiram's resurrection in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. This time, Ghetsis had Colress use his Pokémon Control Device on Reshiram, placing it under Team Plasma's control. Ghetsis ordered it to go on a rampage, turning its power on both his enemies and his own followers, but when Pikachu fought Colress's control and shocked it, Reshiram began to regain its free will. It helped Pikachu destroy the machine, freeing all the controlled Pokémon, but then went on an even more violent rampage, stopping only when N managed to talk it down. Ghetsis still refused to admit defeat, however, admonishing Reshiram for disobeying him. After Ghetsis was captured along with the other members of Team Plasma, N came to understand Reshiram's motivations, and it departed peacefully.}}

|desc={{p|Hydreigon}} is Ghetsis's first known Pokémon. It was used by Ghetsis to fly to the [[Dragonspiral Tower]] so that he could meet and give the Dark Stone to N. It is shown to be very powerful, as it was able to easily defeat Black's entire team in a short amount of time. At N's Castle, it was used to battle Black, where its {{type|Fire}} moves gave it an advantage over Black's [[Tula]]. Eventually, it was defeated by an {{m|X-Scissor}} from Tula.

|desc={{p|Eelektross}} is Ghetsis's second known Pokémon. It was first used by Ghetsis to attack and stun Black so that the Dark Stone could be easily taken from [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]]. At N's Castle, it was used to battle Black, where its {{type|Electric}} allowed it to gain an easy advantage over Black's {{p|Carracosta|Costa}} and {{p|Braviary|Brav}}. Eventually, it was defeated by a {{m|Flare Blitz}} from [[Bo]].

Eelektross's only known move is {{m|Discharge}}, and its Ability is {{a|Levitate}}.}}

* Ghetsis is the only Trainer in the [[core series]] games to use seven Pokémon to battle the {{player}}, as he has the player battle the Black{{sup/5|B2}}/White{{sup/5|W2}} {{p|Kyurem}} he controls before challenging the player to a battle with his full [[party|team]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. The only other Trainer with a similar style of battling is [[Greevil]] in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].
