Raven's Corviknight

**Raven's Corviknight** (Japanese: **レイベンのアーマーガア** *Reiben's Armorga*) is the first Pokémon that Raven captured following her return to Galar after winning the Silver Conference.

## **New Era**

### **Background**

Shortly after Raven's return to Galar after winning the Johto League, she witnessed Corviknight battling against a wild Charizard in front of the former's pack of Rookidee and Corvisquire. However, Corviknight was losing badly as the rest of the pack watched on. Charizard used Fire Punch, knocking Corviknight away, and then Flamethrower to knock the Raven Pokémon down and out. As Charizard walked away in victory, Corviknight's pack simply expressed their disappointment in their leader and abandoned him, leaving the injured Corviknight alone in the snow. Raven then explains how she took Corviknight in and nursed him back to health, and bandaged up hisdamaged wings, and Corviknight subsequently joined Raven's team.

### **Hoenn Again**

Corviknight first appears, where he was summoned by Raven to fend off a flock of Murkrow that were attacking an unsuspecting Dwayne at Ever Grande City, with Corviknight easily clearing them off with his Steel Wing attack.

During the preliminary rounds of the Ever Grande Conference, Raven and Corviknight battle against a Trainer and his Charmeleon. The referee starts the match and Corviknight instantly dashes towards Charmeleon without even waiting for an attack order. Dwayne, Layla, Josie, and Jannette are shocked by this sudden action, but Raven remains calm and orders a Steel Wing attack. Corviknight extends its wings and launches itself towards Charmeleon, but its vicious Steel Wing is dodged by Charmeleon's incredible leap. Seeing an opening, Charmeleon uses Fire Punch as it lands, and successfully scores a direct hit. Raven orders a Brave Bird and Corviknight dashes towards Charmeleon. Unfazed by Corviknight's counterattack, Charmeleon retaliates with Fire Blast, and Corviknight gets blasted back to the other side of the arena, but manages to land on its feet.

Charmeleon then uses Mega Kick, which smashes Corviknight right into the stadium wall. Not one to give up however, Corviknight thrusts himself forward as Raven orders Iron Head, sending Charmeleon spiraling backwards. Raven instantly orders a follow up Hyper Beam, and Charmeleon is sent smashing into the ground and out for the count. The referee announces that it is unable to battle, declaring that Raven and Corviknight are the winners. However, Corviknight does not want the battle to end there, and it extends its wings once again and flies towards the fallen Charmeleon. Raven attempts to hold her Pokémon back, but it frees itself from its Trainer's grasp and dashes towards Charmeleon as the crowd are left startled by the ferocity. But before it can attack, Raven recalls Corviknight back to its Poké Ball, gazing at it in concern.

During the finals against Dwayne, Corviknight was chosen as Raven's fifth Pokémon to battle against Dwayne's Flygon. Corviknight begins the battle with a Steel Wing attack, scoring a direct hit against Flygon, who begins to show exhaustion from the previous battle. Dwayne orders Flygon to use Rock Slide, but Corviknight dodges and uses Brave Bird. Despite Flygon's attempts to counter with Dragon Breath, Corviknight pushes through the attack and lands a direct hit, knocking out Flygon in the process. Dwayne does not hesitate in this competition and chooses Dragonite for his fifth Pokémon. Dragonite is eager to battle and closes in on Corviknight while using Dragon Claw. While Dragonite continues its barrage, Corviknight launches a Hyper Beam attack. Dragonite evades the attack and repeats Dragon Claw. Dragonite then charges up a Dragon Dance, but Corviknight manages to recover and counterattack with a high-speed Iron Head, knocking Dragonite unconscious and unable to battle.

Dwayne selects Gardevoir for his final attack. Gardevoir scores a direct hit with Moonblast, but with little effect. Corviknight retaliates with a Steel Wing, but Gardevoir manages to avoid the attack and grab onto Corviknight's body and deliver a point-blank Shadow Ball, knocking Corviknight out of the competition.

## **Personality and Characteristics**

Corviknight is an incredibly withdraw and distant Pokémon, and while completely loyal and obedient towards Raven, Corviknight rarely, if ever, shows any signs of affection. Furthermore, Corviknight was always shown to have an intent and stern look on his face, and only smiling in a confident, yet slightly arrogant, manner.

He possesses a deep hatred towards the Charizard evolutionary line, stemming from his loss against one during his days as the leader of a pack of Rookidee and Corvisquire, which caused them to abandon him, and whenever Corviknight comes across a Blaziken, or even its pre-evolved forms of Charmander and Charmeleon, Corviknight enters an intense aggressive state, and often charges foward on his own accord, yet dutifully following his Trainer's orders during battle, but even after victory, refuses to let his hatred go, shown when Corviknight, after officially besting a Charmeleon during the Ever Grande Conference, attempted to attack the defenseless Flame Pokémon, only calming down upon being forcefully recalled.

Corviknight's power was easily noticable by anyone who laid his eyes upon him, easily fending off a large flock of Murkrow with a single attack, and being capable of defeating two of Dwayne's Pokémon – Flygon and Dragonite – with relative ease, and in quick fashion.
