A Gods Blessed Alliance

Around dinner time, all active Warp Bands come to life, a familiar visitor’s face flooding into view. Sveta looks to be broadcasting from a small, furnished room, likely provided by the council for temporary lodging. The lamplight flickers, and she takes a deep breath, smiling. She can hardly contain her excitement as she begins to speak.

“Hello citizens of Union! As you may know, my name is Sveta, a member of the Elite Four from the distant city of Ever Grande. I, along with my colleague Alina and a few others, came to you a few days ago after hearing the stories of your people, and after speaking at length with those around your beautiful city. I can say now with the utmost conviction that we wish for the same world, a place where pokémon and humans can live together in peace and prosperity. We do not have to be governed by the mistakes of the past; we can walk forward, hand-in-hand, toward a perfect and just future.

“The Gods have brought us together, the people of Ever Grande and the people of Union. I believe that now with every fiber of my being! This is divine fate, it is destiny, and we cannot ignore its call!”

Standing, the view shifts, and her expression changes slightly. While still animated, her eyes flash with excitement, and a bit of disdain.

“But there are those who would stand in our way. They place humanity’s needs first, believe that they are the true inheritors of the earth. That was the type of hubris that nearly eradicated the human race from existence. They deserved that fate. Humanity torched the soil, molded it, corrupted it, poisoned it. They attempted to play God, and they were punished for their transgressions.

The Elite Four will not stand for those that might repeat history to rise again. We, along with the people of Union, will act out the Gods’ will, for we are their chosen. It is our job, no, our duty to educate those who do not wish to see the error of their ways—if not with words, than with action. Those who oppose us will see a quick, merciless end; it is the only way.”
Throwing her arms out for emphasis, the icy crystal holding her hair back glows, and frosty fractals begin to materialize on the molding around her room. Her breath comes out in puffs as her energy level reaches a crescendo.

“That we were born in the same era is a blessing of the Gods themselves! Friends, let us create peace together, one where pokémon can live together in peace and harmony! There is no better time than now. We stand on the precipice of change, and together we can soar toward a brave new world!”

And with that, the feed ends.

[Well. That escalated quickly. Hayato frowns a little, he opts to choose his words carefully for once.]

This is starting to sound like a call to arms.

From what I know of the Swords, they act as protectors. From what I know of the Savior, she too, was a protector. There's a big difference between defense and offense.

[A pause.]

The people of the city want nothing more than peace, and they view the act of killing as the most unforgivable act. I'm not sure what it is you want from this place, but no one here is going to agree to anything ending in violence.

[....Huh.]

And of your own?

That didn't answer my question. If what you want isn't to rally Union into some kind of war, then what do you intend to do?

Tell me something. Do you know much about the conflict between my home and the city of Gigas?

[He's not sure he likes the way she's phrasing that, but fine, he'll just make sure to drive the point home.]

Gigas came banging on our door claiming that they owned us, and that is was their right to reclaim us as their own. If we didn't agree, then we would die. So, yes. We disagreed and we've been at war for decades. A bloody, unforgiving war with both sides suffering an unreasonable of death and misery. For what? Because Gigas has a power complex higher than the heavens and because Gigas thinks it knows what's best for the world.

[A pointed look.]

Your ideals are almost admirable, but your methods are going to lead to the same outcome. War may be what makes a statement but it will never be just.

[...You just. Kind of missed what he was trying to get at. Like. His point was a football sailing over a goal post. Two points motherfucker.]

[This bullshit is why he's a fucking atheist.]


It sounds like you're pretty dead set on this. I just hope you have the capacity to back up those claims. And that you're prepared to shoulder the burden of that much bloodshed.

Then you're underestimating them.

[He sighs.]

Either way. Don't be disappointed if Union isn't keen on your methods.

Right, or suffer the consequences if not.
