A Gods Blessed Alliance

[dueltyping]

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.

I need you close enough to scan her.

[ Or maybe you already did. Who knows.

She's also not going to point out that right out of the gate the first thing she's doing is trusting Rise, but they don't need to go over that, do they? It's sappy. ]

[senpaidol]

Already did! It works through the Warp Band.

[She looks downcast being reminded of Sveta's power.]

...she's on the same level as the Dragon God's human friend was. Ice/Ghost/Dark typing, and her 'blessing' was something I've never seen before. She's someone who could cause a lot of damage even by herself, let alone with Pokémon or a whole city backing her.

[ Haruka nods, which is probably as close to "thank you" as you're going to get while she's thinking. ] Might not be a coincidence.

[ In which case she's been beaten to the punch. Again. She wanted to find their stronghold first.

...that's done. She won't regret it. ] We won't attack first. But prepare for the worst if she doesn't leave quietly.

[senpaidol]

I'm not the kind of Psychic who can see the future, but I've got a really bad feeling about this.

Then get ready faster. [ So does Haruka. ]
