So, Xerneas. I've read and heard a lot of interesting things about you and your lore, but one thing that I'd like to ask from you yourself personally is about your counterpart Yveltal. What's your relationship with him? Have you ever battled each other, like legends say? When did you last meet each other, and under what conditions?
And there's your nice tidbit of history for today, folks! I hope you learned something new and interesting!

Actually, it wasn't invented by Russians. It was first used in the Spanish Civil War, and later received its name from Finns during the Winter War. The name comes from the Soviet Foreign Minister at the time, who claimed that the cluster bombs the Soviets were dropping to Finland were food aid for starving Finns. So Finns started mockingly calling them "Molotov Bread Baskets" and designed and named the Molotov Cocktail as a "drink to go with the bread". It proved to be a useful anti-tank weapon during the Winter War.Gasoline, eh? Wouldn’t have thought to prepare a mixed drink with that. Those Russians sure are crazy.
