A Friend to Every Pokemon

[attached is two images of a shiny Lapras. The first image depicts it swimming near stones poking out of the water and a small land mass with tall grass. The second is the Lapras up to the sandy shore Jared is taking the photo from, from the POV of the photo, Jared's hand (white with dark nail polish) pets the snoot of the Lapras, who smiles open mouthed with glee]

Yes. The act of battling for the sake of nothing but competitive sport is inherently morally awful. It’s been so normalized in society, that people think it’s weird people hate the idea of forcing living creatures to battle against their will, and that is insanely disturbing to me

[Attached is a photo of a small snow pile nearby a Pokémon Center in a decently modern town. On top of this pile is a Hisuian Zoroark, looking almost the same as a regular Hisuian Zoroark just with a slightly darker grey body, and a scar above their left eye. The Hisuian Zoroark is vaguely blurred due to the photo being taken as it roles in the mostly melted and small amount of snow, enjoying themselves much to Jared’s annoyance]

(Legally. This is a joke. I’m not sending an Ursaluna to maul someone…Even if it would be funny)

People keep comparing me to them because they lack the nuisance to realize me wanting a better quality of life for Pokémon does not equal me thinking their "liberation" was an okay thing to do. As much as I want change, I'd never think separation is the right answer

Hopefully tomorrow when I wake up and head back out on the road from the Pokémon Center I’ll find a new friend to show a picture of, or at least, I get a notification NOT accusing me of spewing cult rhetorics with no direct evidence other than a vibe
