[Inhale, exhale and...] Pokemon are creatures of battle. They fight, all the time, gaining in power and strength. But these fights aren't for the reasons humans attribute to fighting. The goal isn't to cause violence, and it isn't to conquest territory or even to dominate other people. Sure, in the wild, all animals fight for their survival, but - and here's the thing that took me so long to get - pokemon fight for far more than that. To survive is simply to eat, but to battle is to put your honor at stake, and advance to the next level. To grow stronger all the time, and to achieve your greatest potential.
On some level, all Pokemon want this. They want to grow, to learn new attacks and to strengthen their existing ones. They want to defeat strong opponents, and they want to evolve as well. [Does she know about evolution? there's a two second pause, but he can't let up in his speech] But there's another secret to this... pokemon can't reach this potential alone. Pokemon choose humans, trainers to help them in their quest for honor and strength. They choose partners, a deeply instinctual bond for them, in which they choose someone to live and fight beside them. To push them to their limits, and to run, or in this case fly, right along with them are they strive to be the best they can be.
And Ikki-chan, Soren has chosen you to be his new trainer.
