The cityscape spanned across the entirety of her vision, proud buildings in steely greys and muted blues rising to meet the day. Reshi watched as neon lights shone brightly despite the harsh sunlight dulling their glow. Each tile was separated by these lights and it enamored her the brilliant hue they glowed.
She truly felt as if she was in a brand new world, spinning in awe. Proceeding theough the town, she realized how similar the layout was to the Opelucid she knew. It was almost as if it was an edited memory…
And yet the more she looked…
“We’re here based on reports our leiges have recieved, remember?” A voice echoed in her mind. “Well it’s nice to spend some time together away from the castle!” Her own voice had responded.
“Stay vigiliant.” He had reminded her, firm, yet not rude.
How long had it been again…?
Right. 3000 years. It felt longer each time she thought of it.
Did she truly-?
…
“My Lady?” A hand clasped her shoulder pulling Reshi from her thoughts. “Are…Are you alright? You seemed to be staring off for awhile.”
“Mm. Just reminiscing.” She replied. “Ah, the change is rather drastic from what you are used to. It is quite a marvel though.” His gaze admired the city, her own following suit.
“Indeed.”
“Please! Listen to what we have to say!!” A voice interrupted the two, catching their attention at a crowd formed around an odd group. White uniforms with a stark emblem.
“What are they doing here.” Tornadus growled. Reshi moved closer, eyes focused on the man speaking towards the crowd.
“Our lord N has combined his power with the legendary god of old and intends to create a new world with his aid! We herald the return of the hero of Unova, founder of this region. Pokémon are different from people. They are living beings who contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. They are beings whose greatness we should acknowledge! Beings who should be freed from our oppression! Think of the harm you are inflicting upon your beloved pokemon on a daily basis! The battles we force them through for our own entertainment, the food we feed them! Are we truly caring for them and giving them the best life possible?! Or are we demeaning them into mere pets!”
The man’s eyes caught hers, and he gave her a warm smile, a waver to her steeled resolve. Something wasn’t right.
His passion and conviction…his words were fervent, and yet something inside them felt hollow. Just who was this man?!
"We, Team Plasma, invite you to join us! We all want to create a new world where people and Pokémon are both free! Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you now... Please, release your Pokémon. And so I end my plea to you today. Thank you one and all for your attention."
