[ She really loves pokémon, doesn't she? She's heard some speak in that tone in Union, but Saber's words to her still ring in her mind. There is such a thing as too high a pedestal, after all..

Not diplomatic to say so, mind you. So Sophia smiles briefly instead.]

It is something worth pity - but with kindness and consideration, anyone can be shown the error of their ways. I truly believe that.

I am surprised that you had not heard of the great battle, given that you know stories of Union. [her face falls] It was terrible. A great white dragon appeared, with men at its side, and began to wipe out life in Glacier. Both people and pokémon were attacked, their homes destroyed. Even the wild ones were not immune to the loss of their habitat. The destruction was indiscriminate..

[she closes her eyes a moment, suppressing a shudder. She had hated to read about it, such destruction had been frightening to think about - and she hadn't even seen it in person!]

People from Union, Caldera and Citadel went to their aid, to prevent further loss of life. And the Gods appeared to help them stop the destruction.

[weakly] There are those who were there, that could give a much better first person account.
