Hikari's POV

We walk outside of the pokemon center and I stretch my arms up and yawning loudly.

" huumm! the sun feels so good!" I exhale, hearing my arms crack from stiffness." where are we going first?"

First, we have to find Hotheaded Sliver, then were off to Straton City to challenge the gym there." Red answers my question with a smile on his face.

" *sigh* well then lets go find him." I say turning to look for Silver, then seeing a group of people centered around the city center. " Hey what's going on over there?" I ponder out loud, turning back to Red and Yellow. They both look at each other mentally asking each other the same question. Both Red and Yellow Shrug at my question.

" Don't know, but we should go check it out." Red says.

" I'm already on that!" I yell behind me as I jog into the crowded plaza.

" H-H-Hikari! wait, come back!" Red yells after me, but I'm already lost in the crowd of people. I make my way through the crowd and I get close enough to see the a certain someone standing in the town square, making me stop in my tracks. My eyes open wide in fear and I make a little squeaking sound. * N-No way he found me already. its not possible! How, why is Father here?! I have to get away, I'm not going to let him take me back!* panic stricken I desperately search for a way to escape, but I am trapped by the people around me. All I can do is try to make myself look as inconspicuous as possible while he speaks.

"My name is Ghetsis. I am here representing Team Plasma. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk to you about Pokémon liberation. " He says, confusing me. * pokemon What? what the hell is he talking about?!* I continued to listen my fear being clouded by my anger toward what he was saying.

"I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokémon are partners that have come to live together because we want and need each other. However... Is that really the truth? Have you ever considered that perhaps we humans... only assume that this is the truth? Pokémon are subject to the selfish commands of Trainers... They get pushed around when they are our "partners" at work... Can anyone say with confidence that there is no truth in what I'm saying? " Lots of people start to mummer a faint agreement, fueling my hatred.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, Pokémon are different from humans. They are living beings that contain unknown potential. They are living beings from whom we humans have much to learn. Tell me, what is our responsibility toward these wonderful beings called Pokémon?" There's a slight hesitation was the crowd deliberates on his question. finally someone speaks up.

" to let them go, so that they can be free..." the villager says hesitantly.

"That's right! We must liberate the Pokémon! Then, and only then, will humans and Pokémon truly be equals. Everyone, I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between people and Pokémon... and the correct way to proceed. We sincerely appreciate your attention."

The crowds disperses slowly as his speech comes to a close, but I just stand there, the anger preventing me from moving from the spot I stood in. I knew I had to move, to get away from this town before I got caught again but the grunts that littered the courtyard and the rest of the town, but I was stilled to socked to move. With out warning out of the corner of my eye I see something that finally snaps me out of my anger, a flash of green hair.
