[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.

[He draws a deep, shaky breath.]

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.

The sort of devotion? The blind obedience to ideas that caused the world to burn? They had to notice what happened to the world around them! How do you just miss that the rest of the world went dark and the old ways died?

How do you build machines that cause local Pokemon to go berserk, and demand them back after they cause huge catastrophes? They put them far from themselves so they wouldn't deal with the backlash of what it did, and are only now faced with it because we're here and saw what happened!?

No matter how bad our parents are, no matter how stuck to the rules they are? Would we ever let that happen? I don't even think we could do such things, no matter how bad we get...
