[Fai is looking unusually somber, and even in monochrome, it's easy to tell that he's a lot paler than usual. On his shoulder stands Babycakes, now evolved into a Floette, like an equally serious guard of honor with her flower like a rifle against her shoulder.]

[The young man says nothing at first, just holds up a rather skillfull sketch of a poké ball. Those with a bit of knowledge in history should probably recognise at least the general shape and design of it.]

Nevermind that they put those machines there to force Tyrantrum to evolve without their consent, but... they use these. Team Evolution, I mean. They keep pokémon imprisoned in these things, just like in the old days.

Despite how abhorrent this practice is - and believe me, I understand if you're angry - we should remember that they are from a different place with different laws. Wild accusations and demands aren't going to do us any good, is it? It's better if we try to reason with them, try to make them see why such treatment is wrong.

After all, the people in the old days were not all evil. If they were, why would the Savior have thought us worth sacrificing herself over? They were just ignorant.

But I thought you should be... warned.

No. That's not it. I'm concerned, angry, sad, disappointed... disgusted. She put that thing in my hand. I let one of my pokémon friends touch it because I didn't know - and she's just a newborn! [He swallows hard.] But I don't think a withc hunt will help us either.

[He smiles mirthlessly, shaking his head.] I almost wish that it had been someone unpleasant, someone I could really hate. But while it was clear that her way of thinking about pokémon is very different from ours, even from the start, I still don't think she's a bad person.
