* Overdrive

Levi is a protagonist of Nightfall, introduced in Volume 5.

## Appearance

In his normal form, Levi is an Absol with minor traits of a Reshiram. Two tufts of fur spike out of the top of his head and two short wisps of fur adorn the back. Additionally, there are two large tufts of fur on Levi’s shoulders, and longer, spikier ones on his thighs. The fur around his neck also appears to have more fur jutting out near the front.

Levi’s front ankles each possess two silver rings, similar to that of a Houndoom. One minor difference is that Levi’s pupils are black rather than the normal white for an Absol.

His Life Orb is connected to a bracelet above the silver rings on his right ankle.

### Overdrive Mode

When in Overdrive Mode, Levi’s Reshiram traits grow more prominent, while he also adapts a form similar to a Mega Absol.

His snout appears more sharp and firm compared to normal Levi’s rounded and soft features. Levi’s eyes are a constant bright glowing blue with a black stripe marking on the back of his eyes.

His white fur grows slightly duller as large wings protrude from his back. These wings are almost the same as a Reshiram’s, despite there only being fur where the hands should be. The flowing fur on the sides of his face are much more curvy, with the left side being a bit longer than the right. The left side of the fur also is tipped with an orange-red, glowing marking.

There are two very long mane-like wisps of fur on the back of his head where the smaller ones once were. Both are also tipped with the glowing orange marking. All four of Levi’s feet now don the shackle-like rings as opposed to just the front ankles.

When using Blue Flare, Levi becomes shrouded in blue fire, which engulfs his wings so much to the point where they look as if they're made of fire.

## Personality

Levi was a very timid Absol. He was often shy and aloof, but always happened to get himself somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be. The Absol’s mind was exceptionally susceptible to wandering off into the wrong places, and even he himself knew this.

The Dark-type was also prone to stuttering when faced with an uncomfortable situation, such as meeting a Pokémon who seemed intimidating. He was also easily spooked and overthinked too much, causing him to become paranoid about circumstances that would never happen. Levi always hated fighting and would always rather choose flight rather than fight.

However, fleeing from battle wasn’t always the case. If Levi was too agitated during a battle, when he was left scared and hopeless, the spirit of the Reshiram he was fused with broke through. When this happened, Levi was no longer in control, and it was all the Reshiram’s doing. This is when he would adapt his Overdrive Mode.

### Overdrive Mode

The Reshiram spirit living inside Levi was never ill-natured towards its comrades, but was very violent and reckless nonetheless. It refused to back down despite the dangers, half of the reason being Levi was immortal. Regardless, even if Levi was injured, Reshiram would continue to fight, torching all of its surroundings in brilliant blue flames. It was all bite and no bark.

Although Reshiram was very short-tempered and aggressive, it would still obey the commands of its teammates. On its own, the Dragon would continue to attack without logically thinking. It doesn’t consider strategies or planning attacks, it would go straight for the offence.

## Relationships

### Axel

Levi almost instantly gravitated toward the Shiny when he met him, likely due to them both being quadrupeds. He viewed Axel as a mentor and wanted to develop a friendship between them, but Axel didn’t see him the same way. Axel was only tasked with watching over Levi, therefore making him a bit aloof towards him despite the Rigon's normal exuberant personality.

### Lightning

Levi’s relationship with the Zoroark was almost the same as Axel, but he was much more enthralled by Lightning. As the Corrupt Pokémon was the one who rescued Levi from Glaze, the Absol felt very safe around him and idolized him. Surprisingly, Lightning was a little more friendly with Levi than Axel was, despite his stress with being the temporary leader of the Alliance.

### Zera

When first meeting Zera, Levi was instantly intimidated by him. Despite knowing Zera was benevolent, Levi was still afraid of the Zeraora and the cold aura he gave off. He tried to stay away from Zera as much as possible, but was able to force himself to be near when necessary.

### Glaze

His relationship with Glaze was like Zera’s, but more intense. Like with Lance, Levi absolutely hated Glaze and was afraid of him at the same time. He acknowledged Glaze’s true nature underneath the control collar, but knew there was no chance of the Gallade pulling through and fighting it off. Also due to his first encounter with Glaze, Levi became paranoid near him and even had occasional nightmares about him.

## History

Levi's past prior to being kidnapped isn't known.

What the hybrid had explained is that he had no memory of how he was captured. He woke up in a cage moments before the immense pain that ensued. This pain was the process of Levi being transformed into a fusion, and the incident had haunted the Absol ever since.

Levi managed to escape the Prism Followers and run into the forest to escape, but stumbled upon an abandoned building, decaying and overrun with nature. Thinking he would be safe, the fusion wandered inside. It wasn't long before he came across the prison that held Noir. The forbidden cage evoked caution within Levi, but once Noir let his presence be known, this fear faded.

Noir's strong manipulation skill was able to bring Levi's guard down enough to make the Absol free him via the pull of a lever. Once his cage was down, Noir threw down his kindred disguise and attacked Levi, giving the fusion his large scar on his waist. The Silvally was able to take down Levi and left, believing he was dead and unaware Levi was immortal.

### Encountering the Alliance

The Absol escaped into Gilded City, where he was immediately met with Glaze. However, since Glaze was wearing the control collar from the Prism Followers, the Gallade instantly went on the offense. Glaze managed to get several good hits on Levi before Lightning rescued him and scared off the Shiny.

Lightning led the Vast Disaster Pokémon to the Alliance base, where he was nursed back to health by Sapphire and Blaze. Soon after, Levi learned of the dangers of the Prism Followers, and who to avoid. Looking at a picture on the wall, it was revealed to Levi that Glaze was the leader of the team before being captured and subjected to mind-control.

Levi spent most of his time near Axel for the Rigon to ensure that Levi wouldn't wander away to places he shouldn't be. Despite Levi being mesmerized by Lightning, Axel, and the rest of the team, they unfortunately only considered him an acquaintance and not an actual member of the team.

After surviving what was clearly a fatal attack by Toxic Lance, the team questioned how he managed to pull through. That was when Levi explained to them his immortality, even provoking Ultra to stab his chest via his arm blades. Just a few minutes later, Levi rose back up from the ground, unharmed.

### Ending Immortality

While exploring one of the Prism Followers' many hideouts, Zera discovered a machine that supposedly lifted the effects of immortality, and he showed it to Levi. Knowing the serious expertise the Prism Followers have with technology, accompanied by their former scientist, Twilight, Levi had a reason to believe this machine worked.

He stood in the machine while Twilight and Spear activated it, and he said he could feel a strange weight being lifted from him. On their way back to the Light Base, Levi developed a plan to find out if this machine really worked.

That night, Levi sat there in the dark, lost in thought. The pains that haunted him were too much to handle, and he knew more injuries were inevitable. This was his chance to end it. He used a long strip of twine and hooked it to the ceiling, attaching the Light Sword to it. Once this mechanism was finished, Levi pulled on the twine, raising the blade above himself.

In the morning, Shine was greeted by a gruesome sight. She discovered Levi in a pool of blood, Sapphire's Light Sword in his side. As she entered a nervous breakdown, her screams alerted everyone in the base. Lightning was quickly able to find the cause of this; Levi's own doing.

Proving the success of the Prism Followers' machine, the Absol never moved again.

## Additional Information

If Reshiram's hostility dies down, Overdrive Levi will return to his normal state, which normally happens after battle. Because of this, if Reshiram loses its focus, even for a second, it will be forced back to its “passenger” state. It will no longer be in control and Levi will have to take the wheel again.

Overdrive Levi's wings also enable him to fly unlike normal Mega Absol. Once Blue Flare overtakes his wings with fire, it remains like that for the rest of Reshiram's control.

## Trivia

* Levi is the only immortal character introduced in the story.
* Though not said by any of the characters, Levi's process of being fused was the same process used on Fiore and the Ultra Eevees. However, it is rumored that he was an early victim of this process since the Reshiram was still conscious, as opposed to the Ultra Eevees always having full control.
* Levi was originally planned to use a Flame Plate, but the item was replaced by a Life Orb.
	+ Levi's use of a Life Orb has a bit of symbolism aside from just strengthening his power, as his life was never-ending until he found the machine that revoked immortality. When he died, his Life Orb was separated from his body, symbolizing his loss of life.
