Gent Trainer Andrew ♂, Johto Day 35: Brother, My Brother

I’m scared to let Umbreon and Espeon out of their pokéballs.  I tried just letting Espeon out, but then I felt really bad about not having Umbreon there, so I sent him out as well.  When that didn’t go so well, I just sent Umbreon out, but then I felt like sending Espeon out just to see the fighting continue.  It never stops!

So now I’ve got their two pokéballs sitting on the bed while I stare at them from my chair.  Apparently sensing that they’re close to each other, those two are rocking around like madmen.  I suppose I could just lock them away in a PC, but that’s far too much like giving up.  I’m a living manifesto for doing the right thing (or at least I try to be), so giving up on my poor pokémon like that is just cruel. 

But this fighting!  Just because one is pure good and one pure evil, does that necessarily make one better than the other?  Without goodness in the world, things would descend into chaos, and yet without evil there would be no standard for good to exist.  I think both need to act as balancing forces for the other.

There must be a way, I cannot quit.  Just, tell me, what are we fighting for?  We got to end this war.  We should love one another, so can’t we just pretend this war never began?  We face each other from different sides, the anger burns, but we can’t remember why.  It’s crazy to face this pain, our foolish pride makes us hate this way.  Tell me why…

I’m having a severe déjà vu attack,
