[action] Outside Striaton City, trying to figure out how limited he is here... [video} later

[creepy_son_of_a]

Currently outside of Striaton City there is what appears to be a free for all among Sephiroth and most of his Pokémon. Except after a few seconds it becomes apparent that the Pokémon are all attacking the trainer. They look like they might have been at this for a while.

A Vulpix shoots a flame while an Emolga is trying to trip him up and Absol is aiming a Bite at the man's arm.

Sephiroth doesn't have his practice sword today. Oh well, why doesn't really matter. He counters the Vulpix's fire with some sort of Ice. He doesn't manage to dodge the Bite and swings his arm to dislodge Absol, flinging the Pokémon across the field before Emolga manages to trip him.

Then he rolls to his feet in time to get out of the way of a Dragonbreath attack from a swooping Vibrava only to be slammed to the ground again by a Dragonair.

He looks frustrated but, gets up again anyway. Looks like he doesn't plan to stop any time soon.

[[ video ]] Several hours later

[ Sephiroth is sitting against a rock looking like he's just been through hell. In the background some of his Pokémon can be seen curled up sleeping and also kind of looking like they've been through hell. ]

It doesn't seem to take that long for a properly trained Pokémon to gain some extremely destructive powers. And any idiot can gain access to them with little trouble.

[ A pause as he regards his sleeping team. Even weakened by this place he is impressed that they can keep up with him. ]

So, how is it that this world has not devolved into chaos?

[Batgirl observes the wounded man and Pokemon, amazed that someone else had decided to adopt similar training as her. However, it was clear that this person was both doing things differently. From the way he spoke, she figured he was also from a world with at least a comparable amount of metahuman activity and power, if not more so.]

I wondered the same thing when I first arrived. This world also lacks the heroes of my world who would fight for justice or keep peace. It has powerful trainers, gym leaders and the Pokemon League, but they have other duties... and protecting this world does not seem to be their focus.

[She pauses for a moment to collect her thoughts and words]

I believe... perhaps both the people and creatures here simply have good natures; more often than not.
