No, I don't own Pokemon, or Scyther. This is just my interpretation of Scyther, and if you don't agree with it, then that's your opinion.

Survival

Just because a Pokemon has to kill for food doesn't mean he likes it. The word "predator" doesn't have to strike fear into the hearts of the hunted, it just does. My kind does more than just hunt, then just kill. We do it for food, for meat to quell our hunger and feed our young.

A hunting Scyther does more than just eat in the kill, he also weeds out sickness and disease from the prey species, taking care of the weak. It's no different than what a Growlithe pack does. Yes, Growlithe, the Pokemon that humans rely on so much. When it gets down to the fundamentals of surviving, Scyther, Growlithe, anything is exactly the same.

My appearance is enough to send almost anything running in the opposite direction. The blades, the fangs, it all screams out my intentions, on the hunt. You know me for my appearance, and have not delved deeper into my consciousness than that. It is sad, but it's the truth.

Emotions? Why, I have loved and lost, just as much as any other creature. My whole species would be gone by now if we were devoid of all emotions, if we were only tools of killing. Someday I'm going to have a family, you see, and teach my offspring about the cruel world, and its misconceptions.

I'm going to have to look that fledgling in the eye someday, when he asks, "Daddy, why do the Pidgey fly away when I'm around? And the Stantler, they flee!"

It'll be hard that day to give the answer. He won't like hearing the truth, but lying would do no good. "Because they think you're going to hurt them."

Now, I won't lie here either. I am not sorry that I was born a predator. If I could have chosen what species I would become, I wouldn't have changed, would still be a Scyther. The momentary rush of adrenaline that comes from the hunt-there's nothing like it.

I have hunted; and yet, and yet… I am not sorry for the lives I have taken. They weren't killed for sport. Hunting is no game…

…It's a battle. A battle for survival.
