That wretched myth! Do you realize how damaging that dratted story has been for human civilization? It glorified cowardice in the face of the unknown and thanks to it, we've been dragging our feet in terms of scientific progress since. It's... It's not like we can't prepare for another catastrophe. The point is, we're better off not being told how to live by some absurd tale.
-What do you look for in the Pokémon with whom you bond? They should be strong, but first and foremost, they need to do as they're told! Take those fascinating inorganic Pokemon wandering the lands for example. Absolutely fascinating. Just like machines, they're calculating, sleek, and they think of nothing besides getting the job done. They're the pinnacle of loyalty and partnerships are nothing without loyalty.
-What aspects and traits do you respect most in your individual fellow man?
Man's tenacity is second to none. A real man doesn't know the meaning of the words “give up”. Even if he's hit with a freak meteorite from the sky, as long as he draws breath, he'll still keep the trek forward. That's just any old man, of course. An ideal man has a cause! A great cause, one that he puts every fiber of his being to use for. And man has changed the course of this world just with a cause alone.
What isn't there to admire about my fellow man?
-The gods of old have returned. How would you be judged if you were chosen as a representative of humanity?
Hoohohoh! If I had the honor of representing humanity,I don't think they'll like what they see. And why should I care about their petty judgments?
This world doesn't belong to these divine dunderheads, sitting on high, thinking they own this rock despite having done nothing to care for it like the rest of us. That said, I'm sure they'd be itching for another fight. Which is perfect! I'm pretty certain that capturing just one god can power our cities for over thousands of years. We'll be eating comfortably.
-What would you say is your greatest duty, and why?
If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself. I know that. That's why it's up to me to fix the way things are headed. We can't just keep dragging our feet, cowering at the thought of progress ticking off some invisible monsters. I'll lead by example and show everyone just how far we can go again. I don't know if they'll take too kindly to it at first, but I know that they'll thank me later.
-A human has attacked a wild Pokémon who retaliates in defense. How do you respond and whom do you defend?
That... well, that's not fair! There has got to be more context than this. I mean, was this person just so horrid that they'd actually just kick around a creature or two for fun of it? Or did this Pokemon, say, steal something valuable and he was trying to get it back? Ugh... I don't know. It'd be easier to reason with the person, so I'll defend him first before getting any answers. I mean, if I cared enough.
--You plunge into the depths of the Old City. What is it that you seek from the past? Treasure, technology, wisdom?
This is redundant. They're all one and the same to me. A piece of old tech is a piece of the past, connecting us to the present. Unless we're talking about monetary value, which is just a means to an end in the long run, this is the true form of “treasure”! What's more valuable than reclaiming a piece of lost history, paving way for the future? … That's a rhetorical question. You'll just make me mad if you answer it.
-When encountering a rare and powerful Pokémon, what is most important? Researching it, bonding with it, or defeating it? Why?
I'm not... nearly as intrigued with the nitty-gritty bits of biology that analysts are so keen on. Beyond making a list of the Pokemon's basic strengths, physiology, and characteristics, I'd make pain-staking efforts to bond with it. My, heh, “army” could always use another strong addition.
-You are alone and bereft of your Pokémon allies, upon what strengths do you rely on to see yourself safely home?
Eugh, and I can only hope this doesn't actually happen. Well, as long as we're talking theoreticals... My legs. I would rely on my legs to sprint me away from harm's way. I don't like to brag, but I've always been something of a runner. If danger can't catch me, then I'm guaranteed a way back.
-In your eyes, what is absolutely unforgivable.
… Absolutely unforgivable, hm? It's betrayal, for one. I can't stand being double-crossed and I won't have it. I'll rip out and eat the black hearts of whoever dare thinks they can use me and toss me away, just like that. There's nothing so selfish, so despicable as betraying a person. Union still needs to answer for what it did to my grandfather...
