Looking around the road on Route.1 I was amazed at the scenery. Flower petals blew in the wind as I continued down the road to Accumula Town. I noticed several gray bird Pokemon flying. Pidove. In the thick brush I noticed a small purple cat. Purloin. After that a rodent Pokemon. Patrat. I knew the names of these Pokemon because id gotten the information from Professor Junipers aura. After ten minutes of walking I entered Accumula Town.
Walking on the road I noticed a nice melody coming from a house on the top of two staircases. One going up and one going down. "Now were is that announcement?" I thought. I then closed my eyes and used aura. Using aura made everything around me seem hazy and cobalt blue. Then I noticed a large amount of aura in the center of town in a park like area. I thought about using aura to read the people thoughts, but I hesitated. "A persons mind is their last sanctuary." Riley had told me once. I figured that It would be rude to read someones aura without permission. I mean the professor had let me read her aura but that was because I didn't know any Pokemon in this region. My thoughts were then interrupted by a scream. "HELP!"
Running towards the scream I ran with surprising speed. Arriving in a small corner I saw a small 6 year old girl in a corner. "NO, LEAVE PIDOVE ALONE YOU MEANIE!" she screamed to a 20 year old guy who was trying to take something from her. "Leave her alone, you bastard!" I snarled angrily at him. He was in his mid twenties and wearing a strange dress like garb with a hood. On the chest it had an emblem that had a P on it. He turned towards me. The curse had gotten his attention. "Whats this? A kid who thinks that just because he has a Pokemon hes a hero or something. Just having a Pokemon doesn't mean anything you brat. First I'm going to take your Pokemon and then I'm gonna finish taking this girls." He then released from its pokeball the purple cat that id seen earlier. "Purloin use scratch." he said angrily. "Lucario block." I said as I released my friend from his pokeball. My blue bipedal fighting type Pokemon then blocked the enemy Purloins hits with ease. "Lucario please knock it out I said." Lucario then used his palm to knock the little catlike Pokemon into his owners face knocking them both to the floor. The guy then struggled to his feet but Lucario pinned him with his foot. Retrieving the girls pokeball I then tossed it to her. "Whats your problem? Messing with a little kid." I said angrily. I then asked Lucario to let him up. He had gotten a scratch on his chin during the fight and he glared back at me. "Foolish trainer. Do you think that your Pokemon are happy being locked up in pokeballs? Do you think they like fighting for our amusement? Do you think that they like being treated like tools? Don t think for a minute that you have the right to judge me. Just as I was about to speak another person in the same uniform ran up to him. "As much as I would like to stay and enlighten you, my king needs me. Think about what I have said." they then both ran off. "Pidove just go please." I heard the little girl say behind me. I saw that the little gray bird Pokemon had tried getting close to her. "Pidove is your Pokemon. Why would you want him to leave?" I asked. "Because the man said that Pidove hated me. And now hes pecking my face so it must be true." she replied sadly. Using aura I realized why Pidove was angry with her. "Pidove is angry with you because you think that he doesn't care about you. Nobody but pi dove can say that Pidove hates you." At that moment Pidove started to calm down. "Now do you understand that that guy was full of garbage?" I asked. She responded that she did and ran off playing with her Pidove. As I walked towards the center of town I felt a sudden anger well up inside of me. Maybe some Pokemon were mistreated but that little girl hadn't mistreated her Pidove in anyway. This guy was going to get what was coming to him sooner or later. I then ran with surprising speed towards the center of town
Arriving in a park like area in the middle of town I noticed that there was quite the crowd gathered around a big stage. I then saw two of the kids that I had met in Nuvema Town. "Hey Innay!" screamed Hilda. As I walked closer I saw that they were Hilda and Hilbert. Hilbert in turn greeted me with a distracted look on his face."So what Pokemon did you two pick?" I asked curious. "We both picked Tepig." Hilbert responded. Just as I was about to ask them another question a voice said to please listen. After that about half a dozen people in the same uniform that I had seen earlier. Three in the front and three in the back they escorted a man onto the stage. "Greetings good people. We are members of Team Plasma, a group dedicated to Pokemon liberation. Today we have all gathered to hear from a wise speaker. May I introduce one of our leaders Ghetsis Harmonia." Announced one of the guys in uniform. They then parted to allow a man in a blue and yellow robe with an intricate pattern that resembled eyes. For obvious reasons it unnerved me. He then began to speak.
"My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk to you about Pokemon liberation. I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokemon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However... Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans... only assume that this is the truth? Pokemon are subject to the selfish demands of trainers... They get pushed around when they are our partners at work. Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I saying? Now ladies and gentlemen, Pokemon are different from humans. They are living beings with unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me what is our responsibility towards these wonderful beings called Pokemon? That's right! We must liberate the Pokemon! Then, and only then will humans and Pokemon truly be equals. Everyone I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokemon. And the correct way to proceed. I thank you for your attention." it was then that I hurled an aura sphere at Ghetsis.
The sphere of aura landed right in front of Ghetsis's feet sending splinters of wood flying in all directions. To my surprise Ghetsis didn't even look fazed. Has I was about to hurl another aura sphere Hilda threw herself on my right arm preventing me from throwing it. "Innay please stop!" Hilda pleaded. "Innay you have to calm down." Hilbert added while holding me back. "Boy what quarrel do you have with me?" Ghetsis asked calmly. "My problem with you is that your just spreading useless garbage." I replied angrily. "Can you yourself say that your own Pokemon are happy?" he replied completely calmly. His damn attitude was what was starting to anger me even further. At that moment I freed myself from Hilbert and Hilda s grip and released both of my Pokemon, Lucario and Hydreigon. My Lucario then observed Ghetsis and glared along with me at him. Hydreigon was looking around obviously surprised to be back in Unova. "These are both my partners who I've known since I was a child. Lucario here is by far my closest friend and I raised him since an egg. Hydreigon here I caught when I was here by Nuvema Town a couple years back. Just as I would take a hyper beam for them I have no doubt in my mind that they would do the same for me." I said surprisingly calm. "It is true that these Pokemon trust you with an unnatural amount of loyalty. However you are just an exception when it comes to trainers. May I ask why you feel so hostile towards our cause?" "Oh I wonder." I replied voice dripping with sarcasm. "Maybe its because one of your damn grunts was attacking a little girl trying to take her Pidove? Maybe its because that same grunt made her think that her Pidove hated her? Mess with someone who can fight back, like me." I said the gale force anger returning. "I apologize for that unfortunate incident, but I will have to cut this meeting short. We have another announcement to make in a bit. Goodbye and at least consider what we propose." At that he turned to get of the stage. Quick as an Accelgor I blocked his path. "You honestly think that ill let you make more announcements?" I asked angrily. "Young man if you do interrupt anymore announcements I will alert the authorities." He responded coldly. "Ha call them, what can they arrest me for" I asked. "You are not respecting my right to speak now are you?" he said. Shocked I realized that he was right. If I intervened he could have me arrested for assault. And I couldn't say that he was doing anything wrong by speaking. Walking past me he replied "You might be a problem later on. Ill have to watch out for you." Then as the crowd dispersed I felt a presence watching me. No wait was it three presences? Then they were gone.
