VIDEO

[Who's the most terrible trainer in the world? Saionji Hiyoko, that's who. In any case, she's staring at the video screen, a Vaporeon sitting on her lap. And both of them looked pissed as hell.

Hey, it's not like Saionji didn't even notice Naoryuu was gone!... Okay, yeah, she didn't. But that doesn't change the situation right now.]

When I find out who took my Eevee and forcibly evolved him into a Vaporeon when I wanted an Umbreon, I'll have you publicly stoned! Since execution isn't an option here, I'll have to do with torture. You won't get away with this, slimy pig!

[And, video off.]

ACTION

[Said Vaporeon is currently paddling in the large pond behind the Gym in Violet City. Saionji is sitting at the edge and pouting. Her Petilil is hopping up and down the road bobbing sweets and biscuits on its head from... god knows where to Saionji, but always ends up having to go back to town for more because it gets splashed in the face and dragged into the water by the Vaporeon frequently. Saionji doesn't seem to care much.

...Approach?]

[konpeitoqueen]

Why not? I'm training them pretty efficiently. That's what trainers are for!

[She knows why not, but she's gonna make him say it anyway.]

[imthe_shit]

A Pokemon needs more than that. But I guess it's useless trying to explain something like that to you. [ Snake may not be the most cuddly of dudes, but he lived with 30 dogs in alaska for like 8 years he knows animals require affection. ]

[konpeitoqueen]

They're just animals. There's nothing to explain.

[A country of shitty animal rights + strained/nonexistent empathy = Saionji Hiyoko!]

[imthe_shit]

Animals that fight for you. At least, that's because people here assume you care for them appropriately.

But if you don't, who's to say they won't turn on their own trainer? [ He pauses a moment, hoping to let that sink in a bit. ] These are creatures with abilities far beyond our imaginations... What kind of "power" do you have over them?

Treat them badly enough... Maybe one day they'll get tired of you. [ He smirks. ] I've heard stories of Pokemon abandoning their trainers and running off... But there are a few of Pokemon turning on their trainers instead, especially the ones that don't treat them with respect.

[ Snake tilts his head a bit. ] What are your odds of surviving if you took a Hydro Pump to the head? What do you think the damage would be? Pokemon aren't just tools for you to use... They're living creatures that deserve your respect and your care.

[Turning on their trainers?

That's something new to her, but she's trying to look less aghast than she is.] I said, they're just animals! I've made sure they know their rightful place, and if they stay there, they get treated well. Simple as that! There's no ill-feeling anywhere.

[Yeah Saionji, you're just oppressing them so they don't know how to look for freedom. You know, the exact same thing others tried to do to you? It's really not so hard to become the monster you hate.] That's just how the world works. Those trainers who get turned on are terrible disciplinarians and don't know how to keep a reign on their own property. It's their own fault if they got turned on.

[imthe_shit]

You're right. It is their fault if they get turned on.

[ Snake narrows his eyes at her. ] The way you talk about them isn't going to make them want to protect you. It might be easy enough to boss around, say, a Totodile, but what about when it becomes a Feraligatr? Will it be so easy to boss it around then, call it worthless?

It's going to be hard for you to become a Pokemon Master if all of your Pokemon abandon you. Or you die.

[konpeitoqueen]

Size doesn't mean anything. And death doesn't sound possible here.

[That's all she's got to say, though.] So shut up, I'll handle myself!

[imthe_shit]

[ Smirks. ]

Size doesn't mean anything? That's exactly what a spoiled little kid would say. [ A beat. ] Oh right, and by the way... There are a lot of things in the world worse than death. Try not to mistreat your Pokemon too much, or you might experience one of those things.

+100 points for making saionji ragequit

[konpeitoqueen]

Shut your mouth. I know there's worst things than death, and I know how to avoid them.

[She just stares at the screen, and hangs up.]

tee hee

[imthe_shit]

[ ... He seriously wants that Vaporeon, though. ]
