♔ Eyes brimming with dark flame...
Characters: N and Minato
Status: Closed.
It had been two days since N had been home, and no one seemed quite sure where he was. His name was still on the SFC, and he had been spotted once or twice, but he missed any appointments he had made and did not contact any of his friends or housemates.
If one paid close attention, however, in the early morning hours, they might catch sight of Purrloin darting down the street, a stolen bagel in her mouth. She heads out of the plaza and far beyond the city limits, slipping into the forest.
In one of the forest clearings, there sits the missing boy, surrounded by his team and seemingly content. He reaches out and takes the bagel from Purrloin's mouth, giving her a fond stroke before he takes a bite.

Why do Pokemon and humans live together?
no subject
[ He says it so plainly, so cleanly, as if he is reciting from a textbook. ]
no subject
That is the only way humans and Pokemon ever grow to live together?
no subject
[ N had his own problems thinking about that, but he was focused on trying to explain this to Minato. ]
no subject
If an "unless" exists, more may as well. Then it is no longer an absolute statement--how may you judge absolutely on a statement that is flawed?
no subject
The "journey" consists of attacking any wild Pokemon one encounters in their habitat as the children travel through cities, and capturing those they decide are useful, to use in battle with any trainer that challenges you. They are vicious, you know. You have no choice but to battle them when they spot you, and they push their Pokemon so hard--
[ N growls under his breath. ]
This is what is "acceptable," to humans. To send their children out to attack Pokemon in their homes, leave them fainted in the grass or take them away from their family units, their packs and flocks...who knows how many eggs have gone cold, or hatchlings have starved, because a trainer caught their parent and took them away.
no subject
I did not suggest that one way was right and the other wrong. It isn't my place to pass a judgement like that.
...Likewise, that is what I'm questioning.
Whether it is right or wrong...for so long as it is not that way in its entirety, it is not fair to judge all for the thoughts of some.
no subject
[ N's expression darkens further, a deep set anger in his eys. ]
Or will you not pass judgment on that, either?
no subject
I would not pass judgement.
There are other ways to make changes for the better.
no subject
[ His gaze focuses somewhere far away. ]
It is a system, like a train rail that was laid down years and years ago... there is no way to change the direction of the trains except to rip it all up.
no subject
It is never too late to make that choice, and it is never too late for humanity.
I do not know what made you decide that there was a time limit on people--but there should never be and there isn't.
no subject
That is limit enough for me.
no subject
Will you destroy that? Will you destroy families? Torture those who are happy by taking away their happiness? Because you have judged it to be just?
no subject
no subject
He looks at N for a moment, responding quietly.]
You do not know that for fact.
[And then quietly, tone nearly cold--]
To judge off of presumptions and hearsay...that is unfair to people and Pokemon alike. Remember that before you make any more judgements--or mistakes.
[And then, just as carefully and deliberately...he walks away. Because he's growing angry, in his own quiet way, and he doesn't wish to be angry at N.
And so he quietly moves on. He will...come back another day. Or even in a few hours. But for now...this hits too close to home.
And so he leaves, calmly, hopefully leaving N with more to think about.]
