♢ Religions in the pokemon world

((OOC: Could you have picked an anymore complicated question that is simply NOT able to be…well…SIMPLE?! Asdfghkl;  TAKE NOTE I AM LITERALLY SPILLING WHAT COMES TO MY HEAD! I’M SORRY IF SOME OF IT IS WRONG!)

There are three main religious beliefs that are broken down:

Arceism , Giratinism, & Unioism

Arceism

The Equivalent of Catholicism

The belief in One truly Holy ‘mon that is the creator of all and guides all with His words and gives mercy to us all. That is how Arceism views their belief. Arceus was said by millions to be the creator of all; of the galaxy, of the planet, of the lands and seas and airs all around, and the true ancestor to those who are alive to this day. He died for the sins of His children and brought religious safety and hope to all. He is the balance and One who, in the eyes of Arceists, lays out your future, and the obstacles you must go through to get to the end. He is the Divine Being of all and of Nature too. It is believed Crescelia is his devoted and angelic moon follower that blesses the world with the beauty of the moon and serves as Arceus’ guard.

Giratinism

The Equivalent of Satanism

The belief of the True One being the Banished “Creator”, Giratina. Unfortunately, many view this religion as a truly sinful and evil religion to believe. The rules are viewed as wrong and everything against the beliefs of Arceism. Magic and Black Magic are two separate things that have been signified with Giratinism, however they still are viewed as “evil” and against the laws and creations done by Arceus. More spiritualism and symbolism is used in this religion, to give great honor to Giratina and his fallen Angel, Darkrai; who is also viewed as the former guard of Arceus and was banished by Crescelia when suspected and rumored “caught” having been objecting the views and rules of Arceus.

Unioism

The “Hybrid” Equivalent of Spiritualism, Buddhism & Hinduism

This religion is the most diverse and branched out religion out of the three. Most believe there is eternal balance between everything. For everything bad thing that happens, good things counter it out. For every good deed done, the mind and body are cleansed and happiness is earned. It matters not how big or how much there may be, it is always there in front of our eyes. But we have to be wise enough to see it. There is no one “God” that is in Unioism, nor is there one “Evil God”. But they balance each other out, and the teachings of accepting and understanding them are believed to bring one closer to becoming a part of everything around them. Souls are watching over every ‘mon, and each living ‘mon contains their own soul that different from another ‘mon’s, no matter bloodlines. The discovery of this religion is relatively unknown, being one of the oldest out of the three main articles of religion. Unioists believe their paths are chosen by themselves, and that it is changing everyday they make decisions, that no one can determine and plan out their futures for them. They believe the spirits and souls and passed loved ones around them are there to guide and when the time comes of passing, to lift them and support them into the afterlife of everything.

Other Legendaries themselves play a vital role in beliefs more so than with religion nowadays. Tribes and other individuals honor and worship many of them. Many would consider them Unioists, but it’s not the case. But because Legendaries are roles in beliefs, not religion (aside from Arceus & Giratina), that’s for another time and ask~

Dreamer's Eye is another name for Andalusst. Andalusst is more specifically the city in itself. What I meant with the question was how did you get to the mentioned land?

(OOC: My Apologies! We all read that wrong XD; ) 

Jade: We came here as an escape. I promised to protect Nootau. But even so, we do not wish to live in the city itself, for many ‘mon we do not nor cannot trust very much.

♢ Power sources (like electricity)

Most power sources are just a simple fire and kindling to keep it alive in many homes. It does cause enemies to locate a ‘mon easier, but it in general has served the same purposes since it was discovered and harnessed; to keep those alive and warm. 

Electricity is almost a fancy power source to get. Lightbulbs and other creations that need electricity are pretty expensive to make. Even with Electric types around to help, it’s still a big price to charge on not only companies, but residents too. But, if the deals are made properly, places like restaurants, larger homes, etc. can pay for it. electricity can be made through Pokemon (obviously) or, more commonly in rural farmlands, through hydroelectricity by a water wheel or two. 

Funnily enough, it is more common to find a residential ‘mon with both electricity and fire to keep a steady life. Fire is free, can cook food better and more thoroughly, while electricity produces better lightning in a room and is less of a threat in burning down the building.

Jade what are your thoughts on evolution, do you see yourself as a pupitar anytime soon?

Jade: …

I’m unsure… I don’t want to break the promise I made years ago to someone dear to me. I’m happy for other ‘mon and Larvitar that evolve, but… I’m lost on it for myself.

If Nootau is deaf, or if even partially, wouldn't he be able to understand sign language? I figure it would be pretty interesting to see a quadruped use sign language, if they could at all.

Nootau: Actually, I do understand sign language. Even though recently Jade has stopped using sign language, we are both very fluent in sign language. Ina had five fingers on her paws, so she taught me how to understand it. In both quadruped or humanoid format. So I can usually understand a ‘mon that’s quadruped like myself. If not, I merely ask them to write it down on a paper or on the ground.

I can do sign language too, but because I’m guessing that many wouldn’t know how to understand a three claw-toed Absol signing, I don’t do it often.

Most of the time, though, I just read a ‘mon’s lips or listen to their souls.

How often do you two get to eat out? Are there any particular food joints you like?

Jade: Actually we don’t do it often! We are pretty good cooks ourselves and make up pretty good meals with what we can find. But if we are in the mood for something else, we either travel to the supermarket on the outskirts of the main city of Andalusst, or we go to this delicious joint called ‘Weng Ju Spice”. They have pretty good food, a lot in varieties.

But because Nootau is mostly a carnivore and his main nutrient supplies comes from meat, he tends to stay away from those more so than I. I don’t push him, cause I know how touchy the subject of eating meat in Andalusst can be. The only exception he makes is eating herbs and berries.
