From the games: Ghetsis having N's Dragon in USUM. This man's Hydreigon could solo N's whole team, packing moves that were super-effective for each member. At best, N's life is constantly under threat by the Triad to keep the Dragon in line, but we all know Ghetsis isn't above murder. It's definitely possible he could have killed N and took the dragon as a trophy.
In the side series: aside from the implied people-boiling in Masters, almost getting executed by Dusknoir's pack of Sableye in PMD Explorers, all while your partner, who had looked up to Dusknoir and put a lot of faith in him, is pleading for Dusknoir to explain himself. You would have been literally shredded to death by Sableye's Fury Swipes. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
In the anime: Coco's parents getting run off the road by Zed and him leaving them to die in a fiery explosion, with getting away with it for almost a decade. He also thought he killed an infant. Honestly, the AU movies had been pretty heavy already between that one kid whose Luxray froze to death protecting him and the old woman whose Snubbull burned alive, but that just takes the cake.
Also, how Lysandre manipulated Alain into working towards "peace", only to reveal his vision of peace meant many people would die, and thanking Alain for helping him pull it off. Imagine being 15-16, and told you're culpable for genocide, despite being completely in the dark on what was actually intended. (Plus, it's clear that Alain had a lot of trust in Lysandre prior to all this.) No wonder the kid has a major breakdown after.
In the manga, several moments. There's Lysandre and Malva falling onto sharp rocks, ending up in a bloody pile, and for a while, I had assumed he had died from that until the full chapter release (a few years later) revealed he just took extensive damage to his spine. The entire XY chapter, honestly tho. Like, the way they play Flare for every ounce of paranoia the games missed out on. The kids never feel safe, and can't really trust anybody outside their little group. And even that gets tested later due to Essentia's holographic disguises.
Then there's Matt siccing his Sharpedo on Sapphire and Flannery, who are already drowning, apparently having gotten bored waiting on them to asphyxiate and deciding to make it a bloodbath instead. And Maxie burning Norman's corpse in front of Ruby, Norman's son. The RS arc is just about as bad as the XY arc in terms of trauma.

Lysandre: These idiots having crushes on each other is so annoying, and frankly, immature.
Archie: I agree, whenever I'm around the person I have a crush on I also go all stupid and annoying.
Lysandre: ... You're always stupid and annoying.
Archie: Yeah, don't think too hard about that.

Remember that post about Pokémon's villains together being a bunch of random dudes in a suit and Ghecis being, well, Ghecis?
I took the liberty to update it, it's just getting funnier

A new Pokémon Masters trailer just dropped and I can't help but love this chart showcasing the relationships between the villainous teams. Everyone wants to kick Giovanni's ass but then we have N and Colress with Ghetsis.
''We need to take down Team Rocket but after that? You are next.''

I heard it is XY 10th anniversary today ? As a happy coincidence I just finished these so I figured it would be fitting to share them ! 🌿🔥
No nostalgia or long lasting love involved for me as I'm currently just in the middle of discovering the game, ten years late... but I don't mind ! I'm loving finding my way back to the pokemon universe right now and learning to know a whole cast of amazing characters ♥
