He succeeded, but he was unable to overcome his despair, reconstructed the device into the Ultimate Weapon, which he used to wipe out many lives and bring the war to an end.

His Floette, having discovered the truth behind it returning to life later left him, unable to see the Trainer it once knew. Feeling regret for what he had done, AZ took to traveling to find Floette to start their relationship over to make amends for his mistake.
