Hi there!
You don't know who I am but that's ok, it's not important right now, I'm just here to talk with you for a little bit!
Not long from now you'll be entering a portal to a place inhabited solely by Pokemon, but before you go, I just want to ask you a few questions.
This is important, so be sure to answer as truthfully and as sincerely as you can, do so with your heart, your head, or perhaps even both, whichever comes naturally, even if you don't realize it, you'll know which.
What can you see? Is there anything you can make out?
Its dark in here...
Is it though, or is there just nothing to see?
I… I'm not sure.
How do you think you got here?
I don't know.
But how do you think you got here?
I don't know, it's hard to think, everything is foggy, why isn't anything clear?
Patience, lets not get ahead of ourselves, with what you know, how do you think you got here?
Did you bring me here?
Perhaps I did, perhaps I didn't.
But if faced with an important choice, one that you knew would affect the lives of those around you and the ones you care about very deeply, how would you come to your decision? Would you act on your own gut instinct? Would you ask for help?
I think I would be nervous, maybe I'd tell someone how the options makes me feel before I choose, I don't know if I would rather ask them just to listen or if I would ask them for advice.
I don't even know if I would choose at all.
Everything is still so blurry.
I think… I think I would ask for advice, but whatever decision I made would be mine.
I see.
You get in a disagreement with a friend, you argue, it devolves into shouting, and things don't end well, what do you do?
It would depend on the situation I think... but I would probably feel guilty and go to them to apologize first.
Is that so? Interesting…
You find yourself lost in a storm far away from home, but there are houses nearby that you could seek shelter in, how do you approach?
If I could find somewhere else to stay or avoid approaching I think I would do that first.
I wouldn't want to bother anyone, but if it's bad enough… then maybe.
You see a man struggling to walk down the street, and looking at his feet it's clear why, they are raw from walking without shoes, what would you do?
I don't know if I would do anything... I might feel sympathy in my head but I don't know if I would be able to do something, I'm not sure if I'd even know what to do,, maybe I could give him my shoes...
I see, I believe I'm starting to understand what kind of person you are.
But I'd like to know, what kind of person do you think you are? What kind of person do you want to be?
Who do I think I am?
I think that... I'm someone who's learning, someone who's still figuring themselves out, I don't know what else aside from that…
I don't know who I am...
But I think I know who I want to be.
I think I want to be someone that can be happy with what they've accomplished, but not satisfied with it.
I want to be someone with people around me that I trust and that trust me in turn.
I know I want to keep growing, but I don't know at what, or what that will take.
I see.
Those are all my questions, thank you.
Before we part ways though, there is one thing left to do.
What is it?
Open your heart and your mind, relax, and let me see the color of your being and of your soul, I will take care of the rest...
Thank you
The deed is done, and your soul is the color of… a dense rainforest.
A rainforest?
Not just a rainforest, but the very depths of one, a place where even the sun's light struggles to penetrate the the thick canopy and vegetation, but despite all that's standing in its way, some rays of light still make it through.
You see, your soul is a rich, deep, dark green.
Like the forest floor, not many people get to see who you really are, you keep away from most people other than the few close people you're truly comfortable with.
You often keep to yourself, and you lean towards not wanting to bother people, even if you could really use their help, though when push comes to shove you may shelve your fear and do what you need to do to get something done, and you've learned how to socialize with new people from this.
Because of this reclusiveness though, sometimes you get held up with inaction when deciding if or how to help another, even if it's something you want to do.
At times this indecisiveness plagues you, maybe not always to an overwhelming degree, but there is most definitely doubt in your mind.
This doubt lets you mull over decisions and makes you think about them, it lets you take many things into account before deciding, so it can work to your benefit, but it can act as a detriment when you need to make choices in the moment.
My soul is… a deep green.
Now if you were to travel into a world of only Pokemon, it wouldn't do to have you running around in a human body, so when you find yourself there, you will awake as none other than a Pokemon! One that I think suits you and the kind of person you've shown yourself to be, and you might just be surprised with the result.
After you make your way through the portal, you won't remember me or this conversation, but as I said, it's not important that you know who I am, only that you know who you are.
Wait.
Who am I?
And so your head is now finally clear.
In entering this world you will meet many new faces, but you will remember none of the old, not even your own.
As you venture into this new frontier, do not let your fear halt you, this is just one more opportunity for growth after all!
On this adventure come into your own, cherish those around you, and for now…
Farewell my friend.
