Mesprit is typically depicted solely as the origin of human emotions, for pokemon emotions, although always acknowledged, have typically been viewed as something fundamentally different. But this is an error born of the weaknesses of human comprehension, for it is precisely those few chosen by Mesprit who have learned to master the emotions of pokemon.
It is not known why Mesprit has chosen certain individuals – great trainers all – as its champions. Mesprit's priesthood has typically chosen to identify it in it trainers selected for their kindness and compassion, but Mesprit are also the gods of negative emotions, and some people infamous for a ferocious temperament and for ordering their pokemon to rampage have likewise claimed Mesprit's blessing. All that can be said for certain is that those Mesprit blesses combine powerful, unchained emotions with a supreme understanding of their pokemon comrades; many (but not all) are even said to speak fluently in the languages of pokemon.
It is not known whether pokemon can also receive Mesprit's blessing – our language is said to be the sole province of humans and the gods - but speculation abounds. From psychics whose telepathy was a little too easily confused for speech to shapeshifters and ghosts and the strange legend of a talking Meowth in the employ of Team Rocket, people have sought a divine explanation for pokemon who seemed more at ease in the midst of civilization than the tall grass or the confines of a pokeball. If these tales are false (and some surely are, although others even theologians take seriously) then perhaps it is simply a human attempt to bring order to the chaos of blurred divisions, or perhaps people, wishing to believe their own lives remarkable, eagerly believe in their own distant connections to the divine.
