Steve: "SPECTER!" He shouts to grab Morgan's attention. His face stern as he does so. "I understand that some mons do not trust humans which can come from their destructive behaviors and the negative reputation that comes with it." He states, his face and tone unchanging as he speaks. "Is it safe to assume that these are the reasons that you also distrust them or is there another reason for that?"
*Upon hearing the manectric’s shout, Morgan instantly turns to face him with a terrifyingly unnatural smile as his feathers rise from beneath his cloak…*
*He composes himself when he hears your question*
Ah sorry, didn’t realize you just wanted to ask a question!
As for humans, you’re right in why I distrust them.
They trap pokemon in small spheres, force them to fight, and mistreat them…
But truth be told, I would be a fool to believe that only they were capable of such cruelty…
After all, various snake pokemon squeeze their prey and swallow them whole leading to the prey suffering a slow painful death, despite the fact most if not all pokemon are at least capable of eating apples and berries which can be grown and farmed.
Alternatively they could just kill the prey before eating it if there isn’t any other source of food remaining, yet some will still resort to the many cruel ways that nature taught them to survive even when there are better options available.
Cruelty is a natural as it gets. It’s not always done by every person thankfully, but everyone is still capable of it to some degree.
But cruelty tends to be personal, it hurts specific people or maybe even a group. You can typically imagine the amount of people hurt by your actions.
The same cannot be said for foolishness, pride, nor an envy for power that can never be sated.
You aren’t thinking about others, you couldn’t care less if they were alive or dead, you just focus on yourself…
*His face turns frustrated*
Who cares if you label some Pokemon as entirely evil, outright refusing to accept that some aren’t malicious, and spreading tales to make others fear them more than they already do?
Who cares if you exploit your own people just to keep improving your already adequate technology?
Who cares if you end up in a war with the deities meant to keep your world running because you wanted that power for yourself?
*He looks outright angry*
Who cares if your kind won’t live to see the horrid evershifting destruction of the world, making it impossible to know where you even are!?
Who cares if you doom every future generation to have to fight and kill each other just for the mere CHANCE to get enough food to survive the day!?
*His pupils briefly split open, revealing red sclera and yellow pupils underneath as he stares at you angrily*
WHO CARES ABOUT ANY OF THAT WHEN YOUR ALREADY DEAD!?
*He calms himself down with a sigh as his eyes return to normal, he looks… defeated…*
Who cares if you can’t take your anger out on them since they’ve been long gone?
You never even got the chance to see them before they took away your chances of a normal life…
*There are some tears starting to form in his eyes*
S-sorry about that… I’m just… not a fan of humans… let’s just keep it at that…
H-here… Take this for spending the time to listen to a ghost ramble on about some long dead people who couldn’t even be bothered to think about how their actions would affect the world…
