Here's Pokemon Rejuvenation : Light, Darkness and Shadow. In Marble Mansion where Aevia, Venam are thinking of trying to save Maria until Anathea got an idea :

Anathea : Perhaps I can free her from the crystal?

??? : You all just don't know when to quit, do you?

Aevia : That voice. Oh, no!

Dark Gardevoir appeared from the void.

Gardevoir : Did you really think you three snuck down here undetected?

I merely allowed you all to be witnesses to Indriad's glory.

Venam : Why isn't anything ever goddamn easy in this world?

Venam realized what Dark Gardevoir said.

Venam : Wait a minute... You said... Can you-

Aevia : It's obvious she saw Anathea and so we are because our connection is too strong.

Gardevoir : Very perceptive.

Anathea : Gardevoir... if I may ask you a question?

Gardevoir : I don't see why not? Ask away, maggot.

Anathea : How long has Vitus continued to work with this cult?

I thought I ended things when we got married. He promised to end this...

Aevia : How?

Venam : Anathea... You knew all this about him?

Anathea : I discovered this side to him long before we married. I begged him to stop.

He looked me straight in the eyes and told me he would... But he lied to me.

Gardevoir : No, that's not correct. It seems you're on the wrong path, Lady Anathea.

There's no doubt that Vitus was lost. He had no intention of continuing what he left behind long ago.

But it seems like with your death and a little help from me, he was able to see things clearly once more.

With you out of the picture... Everything will fall into place accordingly.

Aevis : You monster!

Venam : Stop talking! We're getting Maria out of here no matter what!

Gardevoir : What makes you think you'd stand any chance against me?

I even engaged in battle with Aevia a while back, and even then, I was barely scratched.

Aevia : But I still kicked your butt before you used your powers on me!

Gardevoir : NO MATTER!

If only a fraction of my power was necessary to stand even with Aevia, then imagine what would happen if I went all out!

Aevia : It's just you. And it's "pride before the fall" as they say.

Venam : We don't have a choice but to stand up to you... If we don't-

Gardevoir : Oh, but you do have a choice!

I will give you the choice of leaving here unscathed.

However, refuse my offer and I release Maria from her prison.

She will fall into the abyss and fall to her death.

Venam : Wh-What? Y-You're bluffing! There's no way you'd do something like that!

Aevia : Venam. It's serious this time.

Venam : What? Are you kidding me?

Gardevoir : Are you able to take such a chance?

Don't underestimate me, maggot. I will do what needs to be done.

Venam : Urgh...

Anathea : Gardevoir, stop this!

Gardevoir : I will not! Anyone who gets in Master Indriad's way will feel my wrath!

Venam : Let's... Let's just leave.

Anathea : But what about Maria?!

Venam : I know! It sucks but we can't risk her doing anything here...

This won't be the end I promise, so let's just retreat for now!

Gardevoir : Hmph... Did you know that I'm awful at keeping promises?

Aevia : Figures!

Gardevoir : Sorry, but I've decided to end you here. There's never really ever a choice, right?

Goodbye you wretched fools!

Anathea : Nooooo!!!!!

As Dark Gardevoir prepares to excecute them, she suddenly...

Gardevoir : Wait? WHAT?!

So that was your plan at all the time?

Very smart move but this isn't over yet! I'll deal with you later!

Dark Gardevoir left.

Anathea : What's going on?

Venam : It worked. He managed to free the officer.

Aevia : But let's not get crazy, right now.

Venam. You know what to do.

Venam : Got it. Charizard!

Venam summoned Charizard but the latter is still truant. Yet, Venam still rides on it.

Venam : Hey, stop wasting our time and help me the hell out!

Charizard reacts angrily and flies away.

Venam : Not this fast, dammit!

Both Venam and Charizard went to the rescue.

Aevia : This should do. By the way, how did that guy with green cloth saw you? Does he have connection with you?

Anathea : Not this time. We must do something.

Note : After Home being compatible with Scarlet and Violet, things went completely badass, this time. If only Terastalization were banned, that would be a downer outcome. See you tomorrow.
