**A Vision** (ザ・ビジョン, *The Vision*?) is the 9th episode of *Guardians of Harmony: Generational Evolutions.*

## Summary

*When chasing your dream, do you give up when everycreature tells you it’s wrong? Should you listen? Or do you continue to follow your vision, even if it puts all of Kalos, the Pokéverse, and even the Multiverse at risk?*

## Plot

In Geosenge Town, the earth is torn apart and houses are destroyed as Team Flare deploys the ultimate weapon. In the Team Flare Secret HQ, Lysandre, wearing his Lysandre Machine, faces down the Guardians and their Pokémon, remarking that he must recapture Xerneas to feed its energy into the ultimate weapon, and sends out his Gyarados before activating its Mega Evolution. The battle proves to be short-lived as Xerneas and the Guardians' attacks easily defeat Mega Gyarados while his fireball spell proves to be useless compared to the Chosen Ones' attacks.

As the Burst Guardians arrive on the scene, Lysandre lets out a roar in frustration, tossing his goggles to the floor and falls to his knees. In a series of flashbacks, Lysandre recalls his conversations with Diantha and Professor Sycamore, going over his fears that Kalos will one day lose its beauty and Pokémon will no longer exist. Getting to his feet, Lysandre addresses the Guardians and civilians before him, saying that he doesn't expect them to understand his perspectives. Gesturing at the ultimate weapon, he remarks that its original intention was to give life, and it has enough energy for one final shot. His mouth turns up in a crazed grin as he declares he shall use it on himself and the Guardians, so they may know the pain of eternal life and watching the beautiful world fade away. He then starts throwing a manchildish tantrum demanding to know why he isn't one of the Chosen Ones, but Kyubey tells him that with that attitude, he is as far from worthy as one can get.

In fear, the Guardians and their Pokémon back away. Alarms sound through the base as Team Flare Grunts and Team Flare Admins alike evacuate the facility. Rippling with power, the weapon sends one energy blast skyward, piercing the clouds and flying into space before diving back down, before Lysandre screams that he and the Trainers shall live forever. The energy slams into Geosenge Town before the ultimate weapon sinks beneath the ground as the Guardians watch on silently.

A week later, Professor Sycamore watches Malva, Nadja Chamack, and Trenderhoof make an announcement on MNN (Multiversal News Network, a channel that broadcasts in all of the Multiverse for especially breaking news that affects multiple worlds, as opposed to the numerous local or world-specific news channels). The three reporters acknowledge the shock felt throughout Kalos, the Pokéverse, and the whole Multiverse from Lysandre's actions, and plays a clip of Lysandre from a previous time, when he advised Trainers that the world was not set in stone, and they had the power to build a brighter future.

## Trivia

* The episode is similar to *Pokémon Evolutions* episode "The Visionary," though Lysandre tries to use a fireball spell against the Guardians (only for it to be no match for them) and he demands to know why he isn't a Chosen One, to which Kyubey replies that he's *far* from worthy with how he acts.
* In the original, Lysandre literally blows up and dies from the blast from his own Ultimate Weapon as the Guardians watch on, silently stunned. In the dub, the death scene of him exploding into light is cut.
