A pleasure to meet you too, Ms Lang.

So tell me... what exactly is a "pokemon"-?

Pokémon are basically magical creatures. They live alongside people - they don't rule over us, and we don't rule over them.

...Basically.

And they're kept in those balls, are they?

Well - many of them are. They allow for easy transport and are a lot more comfortable than they look. However, a fair number of Pokémon tend to stay outside of their Poké Balls if they want to.

Mm. It really is.

(puts the Ball back away)

Not everyone has pure intentions with Pokémon, however. Some people traffick and abuse them... and that's one of the things we at Aether want to stop.

A good and honest profession.

I approve heartily.

-smiles-

And, I did rather expect that not everyone had the purest of intentions...

I sailed with some men who wanted the gold of exploration, not the experience.

(nods)

It's an ideal in Kanto to go out and explore. "Aim To Be A Pokémon Master".

Nobody knows what the term "Pokémon Master" means, but it motivates people to go out and better themselves. Some people interpret it less... purely than others do.

Exactly. And back in 2996, when Team Rocket was at its prime - it definitely seemed viable.

Making slaves of Pokemon.

Though it seems odd to me that such a thing would be considered viable.

They're very powerful. They can't be affected by most manmade weaponry - and a rare few are even worshipped as gods, touted as being able to destroy islands, or even the planet.

(wry chuckle)

That sounds like it would make a good weapons industry, wouldn't it?

Certainly, if you could control it.

But no man controls a volcano easily.

And no man would likely control a pokemon so easily-

Without its' consent.

For something to truly be your weapon, I always imagine that it must do what you ask it to- without question and without hesitation.

A sword needs only to be swung- in order to cut, after all.

There is no variable where the sword doesn't want to cut....
