Ultima: Difference between revisions

hometown=[[Two Island]] |

Ultima is known as the "guardian of special moves", and has been known to require {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to go through trials known as the [[Pokémon Jump|Path of Skipping]], [[Dodrio Berry Picking|Path of Catching]], and Path of Battling in order for their Pokémon to learn these techniques. Through these trials, {{adv|Red}}'s [[Saur]] was able to learn {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and [[Blue's Charizard]] was able to learn {{m|Blast Burn}}. Ultima later taught {{adv|Green}}'s [[Blasty]] {{m|Hydro Cannon}} without having to go through the trials.

Ultima first appears in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. She is first seen on [[One Island]], where she informs {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} that she has decided to make one of them a successor in learning the special moves. When they refuse her offer, Ultima is infuriated and cuffs their wrists with the rings from her staff. The rings prevent Red and Blue from moving up to twenty feet away from Ultima. Believing that it may be a good chance to get stronger so they can defeat the {{adv|Deoxys}} that attacked {{adv|Green}}, Red decides to take up Ultima's offer.

Ultima takes the two Pokédex holders to her home on Two Island. There, Red and Blue are forced to take a series of trials to build up their endurance and determine which of the two will learn one of the special moves. After a series of exhausting competitions, Red and Blue managed to finish at the same time. When they exit to inform Ultima of the results of their training, they find her being attacked by Deoxys. They use the special moves to try and save Ultima, but a combination of fatigue and lack of practice causes the moves to miss. Ultima reveals that the Deoxys is actually just a {{m|transform}}ed [[Ditty]] and that it was only a prank. Ultima explains that Ditty informed her of what happened when Deoxys attacked its Trainer. She praises the two for learning Frenzy Plant and Blast Burn and hopes that they would master them and use them to defeat Deoxys. She then sends the two off on their quest and warns them to be careful.

Later, Ultima travels on the [[Seagallop]] to One Island with the intent on meeting Green to teach her the special Water-type move, Hydro Cannon. Upon arriving, Ultima finds Green being pursued by the inhabitants of One Island. The inhaitants attack Green with the intent of handing her over to [[Team Rocket]], who demanded that the Pokédex holders be given to them or else they would destroy the Sevii Islands. Ultima manages to get Green onto the Seagallop and escapes to the sea. They travel to Five Island, where they find Red, who battled Deoxys but was completely defeated. That night, the group camps out and discusses what to do with Team Rocket and Deoxys. The shock of his defeat causes Red to become fearful and begins questioning whether or not they can defeat Deoxys. Green tells Red that Team Rocket has her parents held captive, which is why she intends on fighting even if she doesn't know about Deoxys' strength. Green reveals that she managed to take one of Ultima's rings and sets off to learn Hydro Cannon.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, it is revealed that Ultima also stole a report on {{p|Jirachi}}, a [[Mythical Pokémon]] that can return the petrified Pokédex holders with a wish. Using this information, Professor Oak sends {{adv|Emerald}} to capture Jirachi while Ultima trains {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} in learning the special moves. At the end of the sixth chapter, Emerald wishes on Jirachi to free his fellow Pokédex holders from their petrifaction, allowing all ten to defeat [[Guile Hideout]]'s fake {{p|Kyogre}} with a combination of the special Fire-, Water-, Grass- and Electric-type moves. In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', Ultima is seen on a ship traveling to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} due to [[Scott]]'s wish for visitors on the Battle Frontier's opening day.

In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Ultima is enlisted by [[Steven Stone]] and [[Mr. Stone]] in helping stop a disaster that threatens to destroy the world. Ultima is tasked with training {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and Emerald in mastering the special moves so that they would be prepared to use them in their [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] states. Once they succeed, the group travels to the [[Sea Mauville]], which holds a machine known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] that can be used to power a dimensional shifter that will help stop the meteoroid.

* Ultima possesses a full set of the fully evolved forms of [[Johto]]'s starter Pokémon, who themselves are able to obtain the "special moves" either through evolving from Pokémon obtained on [[Mt. Battle]] in {{Pokémon XD}} or from a similar Move Tutor at a specific location in the post-Generation III games.
