IX. Death

The sun is bright and shining

The air is clean and warm

We live as one, in harmony

We are stewards, Pokémon

Romping through forest

Swimming in seas

Soaring by clouds

Resting on flowers

BOOM! CRASH!

PitterpatterpitterpatterpittepatterSPLASH!

These monsoon rains darken the sky

The Earth, a muddy wasteland

We shattered, broken, torn apart

We were stewards, Pokémon

Now brittle limbs slowly deteriorate

Powerful waves drained of their might

Clouds of ash that block the sky

All remnants of flowers are long gone

Law 271: Purification

The people shall no longer associate themselves with Pokémon. These creatures, spawn of Satan, are to be obliterated. If you refuse to do so, you shall suffer under the pain of death, and forever reside in the fires of Hell.

If you so wish for eternal salvation, as the Church promises, to reside in Heaven with the Lord's true people, you must exterminate at least one hellspawn. Failure to do so will be seen as assisting them, and you shall be excommunicated and offered a chance to repent.

If excommunicated, you may enter the Church once more if you abolish a Pokémon within thirty days. If you ignore this last chance, you shall be executed and burned at the stake.
