At 300 million years of age, Genesect is both the oldest known insect and extremely old even by divine standards, yet it is the only god which has been modified by humans. This is because, like most of its insect relatives, it had been surpassed by the evolutionary arms race; what was once a god who was viewed with terror had become as weak and fragile as many mortal pokemon, and its only worshipers did so out of affection for insect life.

When Team Plasma offered to upgrade it with a colossal cannon on its back, Genesect was willing to enter its service, and did not even care what it would be fighting for. Had it entered combat on Team Plasma's side, perhaps even the bug keepers would have turned against it and it would have been left without followers – or perhaps it might have changed the outcome of the war and headed its own pantheon alongside N's dragon god in a Plasma-ruled world. But its allies were defeated before its upgrade was completed, and Genesect was left upgraded without any opportunity to test out its new power.

Genesect attempted to challenge the other gods to battle, but none were interested, for either they had come to regard Genesect as too weak to battle, or they did not consider it fitting for gods to do battle without fighting for some grand objective; and Genesect, with its history of losses, had given up on divine causes. For this reason, it was forced to content itself with joining the team of a heroic trainer, and has spent the last years dominating the world of mortal pokemon battles, in the hopes of earning the respect of its fellow gods.


This concludes the Unova pokedex. Thanks again to everyone who's helped me with ideas and motivation along the way. And although I've written way ahead, I hope you enjoy what I have for Kalos.
