Or Maybe Your People Have Always Been Like This!

So, the world went from game to real life, and now the humans were dicks. No real surprise there. In the game, everything always seemed to be perfect, and even the bad guys were half-baked with cheesy ass lines.

"So, ten years later, you are all still being hunted and forced to fight each other, but why?" You are all Pokémon, so why are you just taking this?!" I asked with confusion.

There were many Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that could level cities if they wanted. The idea that humans could have an advantage over creatures like them was ludacris.

[The problem started with most of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon had been caught, and at first, the others were used to fight a war. All duplicates of Mythical pokemon disappeared like they had never existed. Legendary pokemon were reduced down to no more than five of each.]

"Oh great, you don't even have to tell me what happened next. Most of the strong pokemon are in the control of all the strongest Pokémon, right?" I asked, turning away from Melia and scrubbing both my hands over my face as I started to pace circles around her.

We were on a raised stone dais, and I cut laps around it as Melia explained more to me about how the humans were using pokemon for food and going as far as using the evolved versions as unpaid prostitutes.

That wasn't even the worst of it all.

There were no laws that protected Pokémon and basically allowed them to be killed freely. All to be considered a form of training and an inconsequential loss.

Gone were the days of Pokémon fainting and then magically disappearing. Instead, now they were just slaughtered for food, or just killed and left to be eaten by others; Feral Pokémon.

[Feral Pokémon are Pokémon that have given up and have decided to revert to wild savage creatures. These are the few that humans stay away from, but we also stay away from them.]

I was on my eighth lap around Melia now, and I finally stopped, rubbing my hand over my head in frustration. This is so much more than I had assumed, but there was a reason that I was here.

I turned back to Melia, who was looking at me with a knowing look, and I knew that she knew what I wanted to ask. The look on her face melted, and for the first time, there was worry on it.

"You have something to ask me, but you are worried that I will say no, because I am a human, right?" I asked the beautiful girl that was in front of me.

I was pretty sure that I knew what she wanted to ask but was worried that I would deny her. The Mew nodded her head but then looked at the floor, still not speaking to me.

I turned from her and looked around the cave as I sucked in a deep breath of the strange new Poké-air. That was going to get old quickly, but I was going to have to embrace it or have the piss annoyed right out of me.

If there was one thing that I remembered about Pokémon above all else was the savage use of the term "Poké," and I was sure that this world was not different. Stupid fucking kids show with hot monsters, ugh, what a mess this place was going to me.

At the sound of laughter, I whipped around to look at the tittering Melia, who was back in her dramatic gasping hand back and other to her mouth pose but giggling this time.

[It is almost refreshing to hear that you find it just as annoying as we do, but I suggest you embrace it. The Humans have taken it to a whole other level now, and It labels amongst everything.]

I laughed at that but then cringed at the thought of a shopping trip.

"Fine, so you want me to do what?" I asked.

I got that they wanted my help, but the question was, what did they want me to do?

[Remove the humans from our world. They had broken the laws that we set out long ago when humans and Pokémon were much like they are now.]

I knew about this, but not a lot, as they were random facts, you could learn from reading books in the games. They said that Pokémon and humans once lived side by side, and time where they were thought to have married.

[Yes, humans and Pokémon shared a close relationship over twenty thousand years ago, but that ended after many betrayals. Our past was full of conflict, but thirty-five years ago, something changed, and humans started to remember the Pact that we had made. For twenty-five years, we lived in peace and harmony, or that was the way it seemed.]

That was disturbing because that was roughly about the time that Pokémon would have been released in my world. I wonder if that was the cause of it?

While I found it hard to believe, there was no such thing as a coincidence, and the numbers added up. I was very curious to know what actually caused it and what could be done to fix or stop whatever was doing this.

[Or maybe your people have always been like this!]

The accusation in Melia's voice made me round on her and storm over to the Mew girl. This was not my fault, and these were not the humans that I knew.

"Call them idiots, stupid, mean, and/or cruel, but don't you dare compare me to them! You brought me here, so do not start insulting me!" I scolded the girl with my finger in her face, making Melia step back from me in fear.

"Sorry!" Melia said the apology aloud in an adorably cute voice and put both hands to her mouth in shock at her own words.

She was so adorable that I had a hard time being frustrated with her. I wasn't mad; I just didn't want to be grouped with the monsters of this world.
