Whitley's Delphox: Difference between revisions

==History==

Delphox was originally a [[starter Pokémon]] owned by [[Professor Sycamore]]. Delphox was first seen as a {{p|Fennekin}} in ''[[PS549|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', where she was given to {{adv|Trevor}} alongside a [[Marisso|Chespin]] and [[Croaky|Froakie]] in the hopes that {{adv|X}} would pick one and leave his house and go on a journey. His attempt was interrupted by the appearance of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}}, which appeared in [[Vaniville Town]] and caused destruction as they fought each other. Although Trevor and his friends escaped, the case with Fennekin's {{i|Poké Ball}} and [[Pokédex]] were lost during the chaos.

The case containing Fennekin's Poké Ball and Pokédex were taken to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], along with other [[Poké Ball]]s taken from Vaniville Town. When [[Malva]] returned to active duty as a member of [[Team Flare]] in [[PS570]], she dug through the collected Poké Balls and found the case with Fennekin inside, deciding to take her for herself while smashing the unneeded Pokédex under her shoe. Later, Malva informs [[Celosia]] about Team Flare's plan to retrieve the dormant tree form of {{p|Xerneas}} in order to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. [[PS573|After]] both sides separated to begin the operation, and she was released out of her Poké Ball, revealing that she had [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Braixen}} at some point.

In [[PS575]], the battle for the dormant Xerneas went on, and Malva and Braixen were seen observing from the trees as Celosia and [[Emma|Essentia]] fought against X and his friends in order to stop them from interfering with the operation to take Xerneas. When [[Korrina]], [[Gurkinn]], and [[Diantha]] appeared to help, Malva decides to step in to fight as well and beckons Braixen to join. Malva chooses Diantha as her opponent and has Braixen use {{m|Magic Room}} to surround them both in a giant sphere that isolates them from the outside. Malva notes that her plan was to use Magic Room to try and prevent [[Diantha's Gardevoir]] from using [[Mega Evolution]], only to find that move has no effect on [[Mega Stone]]s. Despite this, Malva continues to order Braixen to furiously attack and trap the [[Kalos]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. As they battle, the Magic Room begins to sink into the ground. {{adv|Y}} and {{adv|Shauna}} attempt to stop this, but are unable to break open the Magic Room barrier before it fully disappears. [[PS583|Later]], Braixen is seen with Malva watching [[Lysandre]] train in the [[Pokémon Village]].

In [[PS589]], at {{rt|10|Kalos}}, she is revealed to have evolved into a {{p|Delphox}}. There, she oversees a group of {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s and {{tc|Team Flare Grunt|Grunt}}s tying captured Pokémon to the prototype Absorbers that line the area. When she passes by Shauna's {{p|Furfrou}}, the Poodle Pokémon recognizes her from the Vaniville Town incident and calls out to her, only to be ignored. After the Pokémon are put on the Absorbers, their life energy is drained to power the ultimate weapon. The Admins are horrified by this event but note that Delphox is completely unfazed, which reminded them of Malva. Soon after, Delphox notices that intruders have arrived in the area and pulls out her branch to begin attacking. However, as soon as the branch is lit, the flames react to a {{p|Vivillon}}'s {{m|Powder}}, causing a gigantic explosion. The intruders then appear, revealing themselves to be [[Viola]], [[Alexa]], [[Clemont]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]].
