Good Things Come in Fours
The day begins with a commotion around the gates of Union. The Guards, who otherwise have been left with little else to do but to clear the paths leading in and outside of the city’s walls of snow and ice, gather en masse as a small party of strangely dressed individuals congregate there. Standing at the head of the crowd is a young woman, her two-toned hair and odd clothing a stark contrast from the norm around Union, holds herself confidently, a jovial smile on her face.
“Like I said,” She began, her voice surprisingly peppy, bouncing slightly on her heels, “We want to speak with your leader. It’s very important, and we've come such a long way.”
It’s an unusual scene to say the least, and as people pass by, they may catch the young woman’s eye, getting a pleasant smile and a chipper wave before she redirects her attention to whoever she happens to be talking to. Passers-by are urged to keep moving, nothing to see here, and after a very long, very circuitous series of conversations, the newcomers are given a personal escort.
The rest of the day passes without incident, until the evening, when all Warp Bands come to life. Standing in the frame is a young woman, no older than 18 or 19, her black-and-white hair tied up to one side with looks to be a crystal of pure ice. She smiles, practically beaming, leaning in toward her audience.
“Hello, people of Union! My new friend tells me that all of you should be able to hear and see me. What a convenient thing, haha. In any case, my name is Sveta, and I come representing a group of individuals calling themselves the Elite Four. I must say, actually seeing this city, I’m impressed! The stories don’t do this place justice. I hope to be able to meet more of the Gods’ chosen for myself while I’m visiting!”
Humming a bit to herself, she sits down, crossing her legs. “We believe that fate has brought us together. We heard that there were other civilizations out there, but never did we imagine that there would be people with the same aspirations as us! But I should explain. You see, the Elite Four, seek to understand our past, and be able to atone for the wrongdoings that our ancestors have committed. So you can imagine how excited we were when we heard about Union. I had to rush over.
“I promise that we won’t take up too much of your time or space, but I want to get to know you, the people of Union, better! I believe that we can all come together and create a better world. Your council has been kind enough to give us temporary lodging here within the city. I hope that we will be able to get along! Okay, how do I turn this of--”
And with that, the impromptu feed ends, the cheery young woman’s face fading away before another quick message takes over the airwaves. But worry not, citizens of Union. Over the next few days, the young woman from a strange new land will be wandering the streets of your city, observing, talking to others, and generally doing her best to not make a nuisance of herself. It’s hard to say how successful she’ll be at that last part.

[ She thinks about this for a moment, tilting her head this way and that. ]
South of here? I haven't had a chance to get out that far myself.
I heard that Union is pretty welcoming, which was one of the reasons I had to come see. People blessed by the Gods, willing to help others around them, there's so much we can talk about!

[A beat, realizing he said something like that so casually, Sinbad moves to switch topics]
So what are you looking for exactly?

We're looking for allies. People with the same goals as us. We've heard stories about the people of Union, and believe that we can work together.

['Allies' - the word alone seem to cause him to perk up, tail waving like an overexcited growlithe]
I would like that - could you tell me a little more about your goals?

The Elite Four seeks to learn from the sins of humanity of the past, and carve a peaceful future alongside pokémon. We're seeking out others like ourselves. When we heard about the people of Union, we knew we had to come here. Together, I think that we can move toward that future.
Re: video
Elite Four? Are they your government leaders, and do you guys like something like this band? It helps people to understand Pokemon if they don't have a natural gift for it like I do.
video
The band? You mean your communicator? Why would we need something like that? We have no problem understanding pokémon.
Re: video
Most can get a general understanding by tone and body language, though some are harder to read than others, but by default most people don't understand the verbal language, so the bands help with that.
So your group have no trouble understanding any pokemon?
