Pokemon: BigRai's Story by BigRai Chapter 1: The Dark Speaker <>:Pokemon speech ???: Gentlemen please! You are talking about enslavement! My kind has always been free here. We have grown, prospered, and served this nation to the best of our abilities. Many of our kind have died in battle for the U.S. why stain their deaths by enslaving their children who they were fighting for in the first place? Senator: Mr.Darkchu we understand your distress, we truly do, but the fact remains that in the past twenty years pokemon training has risen at an astounding rate. Now in this country it is illegal, but more and more people want to make it legal. Darkchu: So you just through our freedom aside! We are not puppets to play with! Senator: Maybe, but you are animals. And as such are under human control as said by the gods. Darkchu: I can't believe what I am hearing! Bob you and I are best friends. We grew up together. Why are you doing this? Senator: I am sorry Clark, but the people want this and there is no way to stop the wave you and I know is coming. In the east countries make a lot of money off of these tournaments and battles. Darkchu: So that's all it is money? You humans will never change. One day you will learn what your greed will bring you. One day my kind will be free again. Senator: Maybe Clark. But for now you are ours. But I am not without compassion, you and your family shall not be captured, you will have almost all the rights we do and... Darkchu: NO! I will suffer with my kind. If that is what it takes to prove to you all that this is wrong then I will do it. My friends you know me, not as a monster, not as a human. You know me as Clark the guy who came here to make changes. For four years I have done just that, not only helping my kind, but also helping to bring down illegal gun sales and help make higher standards in education for your children and mine. Please don't do this?! I, and all of the monsters in this great country, are at your mercy. But be warned, your decision today will effect all life here not just your own. Let us live together as a nation? Thank you. Clark walked slowly off the podium, and out of the building. No one wanted to look at him as he passed them. He knew it was over, the hundred years of freedom was about to disappear at the stroke of a gavel. Senator: Then it is decided. Let the record show that on this day all of the rights of all monsters in this nation are revoked. It is legal now to capture and fight them. None shall be exempt from this rule. However it has been granted that there will be a two-month period in which they will have a chance to leave their homes and possessions, after which their property becomes state controlled. That is all for today we will convene tomorrow and wait for the president's signature. Anchorman: Today the president signed the bill making all monsters non-citizens and making it legal to capture them. The former anchorman here at this station... Clark turned the TV off. He looked around the room. His mansion the one he had worked so hard for, was about to become the property of Maryland. He couldn't believe it. All his life he lived here, his parents always told him to be grateful he live in the land of the free. He walked down the hallway and in to the bedroom. He found his mate looking at TV tears in her eyes. Clark: Chu. Chu: Yes deer. Clark: I'm sorry. Chu: It's not your fault. Humans will never learn. Clark: But I have failed us all. Chu: They had their hearts set. It just pains me to hear Bob talk that way. He was our friend. Clark: So did the hospital fire you? Chu: As of this morning Chu Raichu MD is no more. All of the doctors gave me their support but it didn't help. Clark: Well we have nothing now. At first I thought I was too young to be a senator now I know I was just born the wrong species. Chu: Don't say that. You were grate up there I know you hit a nerve some where. Clark : Maybe but now it dose not matter. In two months we will have nowhere to go. Chu: We were wild once we can be again. Clark forced a smile but it quickly faded. He turned to see protesters on TV in front of the White House. Humans and monsters alike carried posters, potations, and pictures as they marched. Chanting loudly they drowned out the human reporter on the screen, but it was useless nothing would change they were all doomed.
