Jason Connor
The mention of one of the cities dad had said he'd spent a lot of time helping people in made Jason grimace, though he was quick to wipe the look off his face. His parents had seen the aftermath of most everything, he didn't want to imagine how seeing it happen looked. His response was not the most forthcoming, however, as he wasn't sure how to respond. "Have you ever seen something that had no concept of good or evil? A creature that had no emotion, no desires, and no sense of self? A soulless killing machine that does not differentiate from Pokemon or trainer? That is what a Shadow Pokemon is; a mindless tool for violence with great, yet awful power." Fucking hell, if that isn't despicable... They sounded like something Magma and Aqua would have used, if they could have, and Hoenn would have become a warzone if they'd had access to that kind of power. If he was honest, as the whole mess with Kyogre and Groudon and both Team Magma and Team Aqua had been dealt with by the time he was looking at becoming a trainer, if they'd known had to get or make Shadow Pokemon, he had to wonder how Hoenn would have looked. Sieggolt City wasn't a name he knew, but he wasn't sure prying was a great idea.
After mulling these thoughts over for a moment, Jason spoke again. "I...did they ever say why? Or did they just attack without regret and without a second thought? They wanted to control the region is what I've been told, why decimate it like this? I just..." He took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be prying into it all like this, especially when you went through it, these can't be pleasant memories. I'll stop."
