#dash commentary?

"Milk goes so well with cookies, I'd serve it at the bakery if it were normal to serve drinks at a bakery."

The disdain so many angels seem to hold for Humanity is truly revolting to him. More evidence of a broken system, in his eyes. A cosmic miscarriage of a kingdom, perpetrated by the arrogant and the feeble, hypocritical at every turn. Even the decadent schemings and hedonism of his own kind cannot compare.

|| since rabid spoke about it, lemme share some of my thoughts on

How the pokémon Ho-Oh is not the same as the Deity Ho-Oh;

Just like the pokémon Arceus isn't the Deity Arceus, same thing for Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, etc;

What it means is: the pokémon is merely a "hand" or "avatar" of the Deity. Like a physical, tangible avatar of its will to allow it to be present and ever observing the mortal/tangible world where humanity and pokémon live.

So when I say Ethan has Ho-oh in a pokeball, it means the Deity Ho-Oh has allowed its chosen, Ethan, to keep its avatar with himself. Trusting he'll be a good guardian and he'll "use" its avatar to good and justice.

Which is why there are more than one Ho-Oh canonically (as it also shows up in Colosseum, on the opposite side of the world). There may exist several avatars/hands of the deity, in the same timeline, or in different timelines, and such is not odd.

As for the Deity, it is a single, unique yet omnipresent/intangible Deity across every timeline and every world. A deity, therefore humans are unable to fully recognize or dimension its real nature or existence.... Which makes the avatars/hand a necessary measure.
