0:00What if I told you there's a Pokémon that will tear open a black hole to keep one single person safe.
0:03This is Gardevoir.
0:05The games call it the Embrace Pokémon, and once you actually know its lore, that name hits different.
0:08Start with the horn on its chest.
0:11Most people assume it's just part of the design.
0:14It's actually connected straight to Gardevoir's heart.
0:16So when you're around it, it isn't reading your face or guessing your mood.
0:19It literally feels what you're feeling, the moment you feel it.
0:22If you're happy, it's happy.
0:25If you're hurting, it hurts right along with you, even if you never said a word out loud.
0:27Even the name gives it away.
0:30Gardevoir comes from two French words.
0:33Garde, to guard.
0:35Voir, to see.
0:38The one who sees you and guards you.
0:41They named it that on purpose.
0:44And it can sense the future.
0:46So it's never waiting around to find out if something hurts you.
0:49It already knows what's coming, and it's already standing between you and it.
