As I'm sure you all have seen by now, the results of the elections are in. I tried to assimilate into the culture here and to form a symbiotic relationship with this place. However, the people here have made it clear that they do not wish to have a Pokemon in charge of guarding this place, despite the roll of guarding nature that Pokemon take on naturally in our own world.

As such, I have little choice in the matter here. While I search for a way to escape this place, I will require sustenance. I refuse to simply starve myself for the convenience of humans, meaning the only recourse left to me is to take what I need.

If you value your safety, do not attempt to stop me.

For a man bereft of humanity, Bison could empathize with the creature. Democracy was such a farce; conquest, on the other hand...

"You need not reduce yourself to a common thief. If you wish for something more symbiotic, you need only join Shadaloo. We can offer you so much more than mere food and drink. A chance to use your gifts for a higher purpose. Power enough to cause fear in your enemies. Respect. All things you have so long been denied.

Give the matter some thought."

It didn't take a psychic to see the ambition and madness in Bison's eyes. It was a look Giovanni had as well, though this seemed much more... unhinged.

"Fear was a weapon I grew proficient in wielding early on in my life. I was trained in it's application quite thoroughly. However, it is a weapon that I have discarded. I have no interest in your cause, nor do I wish your respect."

He sighs, closing his eyes in thought for a moment. "I was shown how ineffective fear truly is. Fear only serves to inspire the hero, and embolden those who stand to lose everything. Fear only brings defeat to its wielder."

[Yeah, no. Raye can't keep quiet about this.]

With a selfish attitude like that, it's no wonder you didn't win! You got money to live on, the same as anyone else, and if you want more, get a job! Don't throw a fit just because you didn't get what you wanted. If your immediate course of action is to steal and threaten other people with physical violence, then you're not fit to be a guardian at all. Guardians protect people, and help them!

Shape up, accept defeat, and try for something else. There are plenty of things you could do if you really wanted to.

You have no idea what you're talking about, human.

I was created with a very singular purpose; battle. I was a weapon in design and concept. Battle is my only marketable skill, and I know for a fact that the people in Fayren would not hire me for any kind of work where I was too visible.

I had intended to help the people of this place, but if they're more interested in hiring someone who announced her presence in this place by burning innocents, far be it from me to stand in their way.

I know a lot more than you think, so don't patronize me.

[She huffs, folding her arms.]

So you're saying the only option you have left is to be just as bad as her? Give me a break! Go do some bounty hunting! After all, it's the city that pays you, not individual people. Like they can afford to dole out piles of cash for someone who can slay demons and dragons. Go serve as a bodyguard in Nova City. Ask to be a guardian assistant, if you're so dead set on working in that field!

So you would ask me to hunt the closest things I have to brethren? I will not stand in the way of those that take that path, but I refuse to walk it myself.

I was here for quite some time before I announced my intention of taking that position, and explored the opportunities something like I would have. This was my final option before I resorted to this.

That's the biggest garbage excuse I've ever heard! Have you seen what those monsters do to people?! I wouldn't be so quick to call them brethren!

You make your own choices. Stop blaming everyone else and take some responsibility!

And have you seen what humans do to each other and their environment? Humans aren't all that different, really.

I have made my choice and will take responsibility for it. However, you have no right to judge me based on your exceptionally limited knowledge of me and my situation.

So you plan to hurt people if they try to stop you? Are you sure you really wanted to be Guardian?

And you're so much better? I don't think so! You're deliberately choosing to steal from someone else who worked honestly for what they have, that puts you in the 'worse' category.

Your situation is the same as anyone else who showed up in this place, stop feeling sorry for yourself and get your act together! You're not going to solve a single thing by behaving this way, it'll just make everything worse. So don't blame me or anyone else if you pay the price for breaking the law.

[She tosses her head and shuts off the feed. Honestly!]

Considering my opponent, and her track record, I am preparing for the worst. I do not wish to, however, I will defend myself where necessary. And by the nature of my powers, and the relative fragility of the human form, even the weakest of my powers could do serious mental or physical damage to a normal human.

What's the worst that could come from her?

I'm not going to down you for being willing to steal to eat, I've done worse for less. But you don't have to. You have other options, you know. If you really are some power psychic, you should know that.

Considering when the first arrived here, she set a man on fire for daring to contradict her when she demanded a hotel room, free of charge? Let us just say that I don't have faith in her judgement.

And just what are humans going to be willing to pay me to do? My only marketable skill is battle, and I'm not exactly good for business when put in any kind of visibility.

I've explored my options.

Okay, yeah. That's pretty..bad. You might have gotten my vote if I had known that. Might have to keep an eye on her.

Though you are saying you will hurt people that get in your way from taking what you want, I assume that means shop keepers or vendors. So you are very nearly as bad as her in that regard.

You ever think about asking for help?

[PM to Raye}

Ted was almost shouting with laughter. "Raye, you firebrand! You ass! As if adding wrath to pride softened the latter. Things could hardly go smoother if you were the thing's mother, however fitting your tongue lash. Watch, and see the sweetness of honey, and learn the futility of vinegar." :D

Not a very good loser, was he?

"Oh, that's not necessary. I received a very generous stipend upon arrival, and if you're not too proud to be treated, I'd love for you to join me at a new tea shop. Tea and conversation; for starters, you might tell me what in god's green earth a pokemon is. I look forward very much to meeting you."

[ Weiss wasn't going to say anything to him at any point. She'd made her assessment of him, and now she's glad that she just took Azula's word for how he was. She wouldn't have said anything, but he basically threw a fit and turned to a life of crime because he didn't win. And Weiss? She was bad at keeping her mouth shut. ]

Have you considered the fact that throwing a tantrum like a toddler because you lost isn't going to make anyone regret not voting for you? Whether you're a Pokemon or not, the reason I didn't vote for you was because you expressed the notion that you can protect Fayren while ignoring the other linked cities. Preventative measures and planning are just as important as reactionary measures, and you failed to form appropriate connections with others that could have helped you accomplish your job more effectively. You clearly still hold a dislike of humanity, making most of us not feel comfortable having you in charge of protecting us. Anyone can say that they have power and experience from another world, but unless you actually demonstrate your abilities and effectiveness, you can't hold other people accountable for your faults.

Get a job and work with the rest of us and stop acting like an entitled child if you ever want to be considered for a position of any kind.

[She had to admit she didn't know either party to know of who to vote for, thus why she never did, but she never would have expected a reaction like this.]

I don't believe being who you are to be the reason. I didn't vote simply because I didn't know either side and that was my fault completely. But it seems you've formed an opinion that everyone is the same when that's not correct. We are all different once you get to know us.

Though at what you say about sustenance and what you say after. Have you not been eating correctly? There are ways to get food, it's simply a matter of using what skills you do best, but taking it by force is not a way to go about it.

[Considering she only voted because you scare her because of the last time they talked. She is trying her best to be a tiny bit more brave right now.]

If you want people to think better of you, you have to meet them half way. While you can be intimidating, I know that maybe somewhere deep down inside there is a kind person.

[Midboss considered replying to this for some time. The implication for violence was...concerning, but he still held his previous view that Mewtwo had been the 'safer' of the two candidates.

Still, trying to avert anyone getting harmed unnecessarily was something of a priority. Although he did wish he had Lamington here - that would make playing and resolving this mess significantly easier - he cautiously opened up a private video feed.

He was not certain exactly what powers Mewtwo might have to read his mind, but he trusted that his intentions would not upset him.]

Biases are difficult for many people to overcome, unfortunate as that may be. It is a matter that I have been attempting to resolve in my own world. Still, we have no way of knowing for certain what feelings or thoughts pressured the votes of others.

...I would be willing to assist you, if you will let moi. There is no need for you to suffer unduly as a result of this.

I only take what I need, and shouldn't run into the vendors themselves, as I intend to operate at night. The message itself was directed more toward those that would seek to find me after the fact.

There are few things I have left that humans have not taken from me. My pride as a Pokemon is one of those. No, I will not ask for help.

Not really, no.

"My diet is extremely strict. It was another way my creators could control me. I do not drink tea. As for your questions, you're free to ask them if you can find me."

I couldn't care less if my actions caused anyone to regret.

[That bit about his announcement gets an eye roll.] So you would rather vote for an unhinged warmonger who's first order of business when she arrived in this place was to set fire to a man who dared to question her when she demanded a hotel room free of charge? And you call my reaction a tantrum?

As for my dislike of humanity, yes, I don't find myself fond of them. Neither would you if you were born with the sole purpose of being a human's weapon designed solely to bring your world to his knees. I have explored the possibilities available to me, I have tried to assimilate. However, when your only marketable skill is battle, and look like what most would call a "monster" my options are limited.

So instead of judging me for taking the measures I have been forced to, why not examine your own biases first?

[At this point, Mewtwo is starting to get tired. He hasn't eaten in a while, no, and he's not going to just go storming the market while it's open.]

I was under the impression that the archive feature on these devices were fairly simple to use. A quick check would reveal that when my opponent first arrived in this place, she set a man on fire for refusing to give her what she wanted.

As for my opinion, I ask you, if you were told from the moment you gained consciousness that you were not natural, not born normally, and then coerced into serving another on his quest for world domination... how would you feel?

Is someone being a big baby and taking it out on people?

I don't mind, but so long as you don't interfere with me, I won't bother you.
