Zygarde looks after the ecosystem. If it falls into chaos, it will appear. Some say that it monitoring those who mess up the ecosystem and that it will show up and reveal its secret power. It can change forms by changing the number of cells it has.
Its 10% form, introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon, uses up 10 percent of its cells. It can run up to 60 mph and finish foes off with its sharp fangs and skilled close combat. However, this form cannot last long.
Its 50% form was introduced in Pokemon X and Y. 50% of its cell have been gathered in this state. It wipes out foes without even a shred of mercy. People in Kalos thought that there was a greater power that lies hidden within it.
Its Complete form has the power to overwhelm both Xerneas and Yveltal and can destroy all who go against it. Its appears when all of its cells come together to form one being. From the orifice on its chest, it radiates high-powered energy that eliminates everything.

863164 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary%20atresia | Pulmonary atresia | Pulmonary atresia is a congenital birth defect of the pulmonary valve in which the valve does not develop. The valve is completely closed making it harder for blood to travel from the heart to the lungs.
The pulmonary valve is located on the right side of the heart between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. In a normal functioning heart, the opening to the pulmonary valve has three flaps that open and close; however with this defect some of the flaps are not formed.
The symptoms/signs of pulmonary atresia that will happen in babies would include fatigue and some shortness of breath.
Pulmonary atresia can be fatal if no emergency surgery is done. If surgery is done, most children affected by this can live normal lives although problems such as strokes, heart disease and seizures are possible.

863476 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark%20Woerde | Mark Woerde | Mark Woerde (1973, The Netherlands) is a Dutch social activist and writer.
Early life
Mark Woerde was born in the Netherlands.
He graduated from University of Amsterdam.
In 2000, Woerde co-founded the renowned Dutch advertising agency Lemz, which became part of Havas Group in 2016. This transition put Woerde in a position where he could leave the advertising company and focus solely on LetsHeal.
In 2011, Mark Woerde published the book “How Advertising Will Heal The World And Your” which lays the foundations for a radical paradigm shift in branding and advertising.
Social activities
Woerde was the driving force behind the success of Neighbor Day (Burendag), an early prosocial activity to stimulate social cohesion. It was developed by Woerde and his partners at advertising agency Lemz; Peter de Lange and Remco Marinus for coffee brand Douwe Egberts. Neighbor Day was started in 2006 and has evolved into an annual tradition in the Netherlands. Neighbor Day inspires people to look after their neighbors, spending time together and making their neighborhood even more beautiful. After three years, Woerde managed Neighbor Day to earn the participation of the Dutch Royal Family and the Oranje Fonds.
In 2013, the Dutch branch of Terre des hommes, noting that efforts to combat child sex tourism in impoverished countries had resulted in pedophiles instead seeking victims online, joined forces with Mark Woerde and his team at advertising agency Lemz that at first preferred to remain anonymous to create the animated, photorealistic image of a 10-year-old Filipina girl named Sweetie. The Sweetie operation took almost 2 years of preparation. In a period of 10 weeks more than 20,000 predators interacted with Woerde's team. Eventually over 1,000 predators from 71 countries were identified and handed over to Interpol. Most of the identified predators could be identified via bits of information revealed by the team using a fake identity as a 10 year old Filipino kid. Sweetie as an avatar/virtual girl proved to be especially useful in a smaller but difficult to track down number of predators. The information was given to the local police or Interpol. Over one billion people have seen the operation in the evening news.
After receiving a letter of recognition from the United Nations, Woerde and his team admitted to the creative industry that they were behind this initiative. Woerde decided to give one public interview to the popular TV show Humberto Tan’s RTL Late Night to explain the intervention and to make clear that he was no longer involved in Terre des hommes, Sweetie or police activities.
In 2017 Mark Woerde and his team from Lemz and LetsHeal developed together with The Elijah Interfaith Institute the groundbreaking, record-breaking and award-winning media project “Make Friends Across Religions” that brought to the man on the street a friendship call by the world’s most prominent faith leaders, such as Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama.
Awards
The Sweetie campaign won several important awards, such as the D&DA White and Black Pencil and the Cannes Lions Grand Prix For Good.
Mark Woerde won the Global Business & Interfaith Peace Medal in 2018 for his project "Make Friends Across Religions" and received this from former secretary of the United Nations Ban Ki-Moon.

863506 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi%20Uematsu | Satoshi Uematsu | Satoshi Uematsu (, 1990- ) was a Japanese mass murderer, a perpetrator of 2016 Sagamihara stabbings that killed 19 people. He was a 26-year-old (at the time of the incident) man.
Incident
Uematsu used to work at the care home Tsukui Yamayuri En (津久井やまゆり園). He resigned from working at the facility in February 2016 after having been employed there for over three years.
In February 2016, Uematsu appealed by letter for the legalization of ending the lives of those with multiple disabilities in cases where it was requested by their guardians, and asked for Tadamori Oshima's assistance in delivering his message to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe. In it, he wrote, "I envision a world where a person with multiple disabilities can be euthanised, with an agreement from the guardians, when it is difficult for the person to carry out household and social activities." He also wrote that the killings of the disabled would be "for the sake of Japan and world peace" as well as to benefit the global economy and prevent World War III.
In 26 July 2016, Uematsu killed 19 people at Tsukui Yamayuri En by Knives. On 16 March 2020, Uematsu was sentenced to death by the Yokohama District Court, having previously said he would not challenge any verdict or sentence. On 30 March 2020, his death sentence was finalized as he withdrew automatic appeal to the upper courts.
