A man with a vision.

[flarefor_beauty]

You know that I will stop at nothing to achieve utmost beauty. You stopping me is a futile attempt, so would you please cease trying to. Natural beauty is a wonderful thing, do you not agree? Of course, you cannot possible see what I see. Everyday brings new ideas and new ways to formulate a better future for both man and Pokémon.

Will you please aid me instead of thinking me mad? I am far from mad, believe me.

To go to fantastic end for beauty is utter greed, Man.

I have seen many fall to its madness, you would not be the first.

[flarefor_beauty]

I do not do it for greed, but for necessity. A new world with extinguish the old and bring new life along with it's own beauty. I am not mad. [Nice ears, dude. Are they real?]

[athismercy]

[Of course they're real, watch them flick in irritation. Actually no, Tolkien Elves don't do that, even if it's the best thing about Elf ears.]

Fool. The earth that was created is not flawed, no matter the gouges dug out of it. In time, the wood and seas will heal themselves, with no Man's meddling.

[flarefor_beauty]

I am no fool. You do not know the corruption, which exists within my world. Perhaps you are lucky enough to not know filth when you see it.

[athismercy]

[A scoff.]

I have seen my forests wither before my very eyes, over millennia, only to watch them thrive again in their rebirth.

Ignoring that, I surely see filth now in front of me.

[flarefor_beauty]

[I mean, look at those tacky pink shades. Orange is so much better, dude.]

If you are insinuating an insult at me, you are wasting your time. Filth is all around us, yet you clearly cannot see it, nor can you understand my true plans for the world. My world.

[the_team_mom]

Could have fooled me, hun.

[flarefor_beauty]

You can talk? Or are you using a psychic link to speak with me? [Aren't you beautiful too.]

[the_team_mom]

I'm going to leave that one for you to figure out.

[If only so she'll drive him crazy trying to figure it out.

[And just because she's a pretty little thing doesn't mean she agrees with you.]

[flarefor_beauty]

A curious little thing aren't you? [He had never spoken to a talking Espeon before.]

Whatever the means, surely you must agree with wanting a beautiful world?

[the_team_mom]

[She shrugs her shoulders, tail swishing idly behind her.]

Nice views are great, but if you think that's the most important thing, worth wiping out Pokemon and humans alike, you've got some seriously screwed up priorities.

[Not to mention how egotistical it is to push your idea of beauty as the defining characteristic of the world. Sheesh. Besides, you've got terrible taste.]

[flarefor_beauty]

I do not have anything screwed up. [A talking Espeon? Isn't that a little screwed up?]

I am trying to save humanity and Pokémon alike.

[amphibinin]

...I'm not sure how killing all Pokemon equates to a better future for them.

[flarefor_beauty]

Some sacrifices have to be made. There is no beauty without first extinguishing the needless and filth of the land.

[amphibinin]

Since when do you know what beauty is? You stuck your minions in the most eyesearing suits ever designed.

[flarefor_beauty]

[Is that supposed to be insulting?]

I like orange. [Ok?] It is like a sunrise or sunset, burning across the land with radiant colour.

[amphibinin]

If it was up to you the whole planet would be orange.

[flarefor_beauty]

I would not go that far and I think you are mocking me. [Because aren't the suits cool?]

[terra_et_sol]

You would not believe what some people will do because they think it means "a better future".

I once knew a man who thought he could do it by making volcanoes erupt and boiling away the sea, and another who planned to flood the world.

[flarefor_beauty]

Who was that man? [Because he is interested now. Terribly so.]

have a young Cyrus who has absolutely no room to talk about perfect worlds

[mini_misotheist]

Beauty doesn't have anything to do with a better future. Beauty isn't scientific or rational.

[flarefor_beauty]

Is that what you think? Beauty has everything to do with a better future. The outlook for a better future revolves around seeing a perfect picture. A more optimistic world for everyone. Something beautiful emerging out of the filth.

[mini_misotheist]

For everyone...No, that can't happen. People who start wars, for instance. They can't exist in a perfect world. No one stupid enough to listen to them can either.

But beauty can't be quantified. It's subjective. Some people find war beautiful, and they're wrong.

[flarefor_beauty]

Aren't you a knowledgeable little boy for so young. Did your father teach you such things?

[mini_misotheist]

No. Not my mother either. I learned them myself.

[nobodys_king]

Natural beauty is so...commonplace. It's pleasant, but it isn't anything special. Any god can make a lovely landscape, but a true masterpiece can only be made by mortals.

[flarefor_beauty]

I take it you enjoy seeing beauty when it takes you? [Green hair? Hmph. Orange is so much better, dude.]

[nobodys_king]

[At least I don't look like a human Pyroar]

Of course. I am a collector, after all. Beauty is my entire life.

[flarefor_beauty]

[Maybe he likes being a human Pyroar. Sycamore likes it...]

What do you collect?

[nobodys_king]

Art, mainly. Well, I'd say entirely, though most other collectors don't consider things like technology to be art. Their loss, I say. After all, everything was high tech at some point.

[flarefor_beauty]

Art? Interesting. I come from a region called Kalos, which is steeped within culture and the arts. I appreciate good art when I see it. [Anything orange?]

What sort of pieces do you collect?

[nobodys_king]

Aah yes, Kalos. Said to be the most beautiful region in the world...mm, many's the hour I've spent in the Parfum Palace... I trust you've experienced it?

Although my interest lies in whatever draws me to it. Anything that truly moves me.

[gianthobo]

Lysandre... stop this....

The world is already beautiful.

[flarefor_beauty]

AZ. You cannot stop progress, my friend. You should know this more than anyone.

[gianthobo]

Progress is one thing. Wiping them out is another. I've seen the results of using that weapon. It's not a fate I would wish on anyone. Destroying things doesn't solve anyone's problems.

[flarefor_beauty]

It is a necessary sacrifice in order to create the beautiful world. I do not wish to harm any Pokémon, yet it has to be. [Even now, he can feel tears welling up within his eyes at the thought of Pokémon dying. He doesn't want to but he has to.]

[gianthobo]

If you want to change the world then change it. There's time to help people understand. Wiping them out will only make things worse.

[flarefor_beauty]

[This is the only way he knows how to change it. If there was another way, he would chose to do so. Yet, he is a man set in his ways, AZ.]

There is no other way.
