A Legendary Speech
(In honour of the Legendary Pokemon)


When you found me here
I expected respect from you
But instead all I saw was greed and pride
And an unnatural desire.

A desire to see your shelves
Filled with prisons of us
An army entombed in illogical darkness
All for you to fight your own battles.

And did you not even ask me
If I wanted to be my own beast?
Did you not even think of my peace
When I am a symbol of legend?

Do you want to destroy legends
By beating them down into slavery
Within balls to become chains
And strip away pages of folklore?

I am not your fighting pet
But neither shall you be mine
When all I wanted was solitude and respect
From mortals who dream of my visage.

I want to be fantasies of children
That they can forever dream of
Not to become their toys
To be abandoned in blankets of dust.

Why do you wish to have me
When my own shadow in your dreams complete you?
Is the magic trick not even more amazing
When you don't understand how it works?

My purpose is to be here
Spreading imagination
How can I ever achieve that
Wrapped within your prison sphere?

Some of my fellow creatures may want
To be a part of your team
If only because they cannot cope
With mundanity and loneliness.

My dream is not to be with you
My dream is to be with the world
But if you insist on challenging me
Let the battle of dissolution begin
And if you win, your childhood ends.
I was listening to the VS Legendary battle theme from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, after my lover had tempted me back into being a Pokeholic, and this had been churning in my head for a while now, finally out into typing.
I always did wonder what the Legendary Pokemon thought when they saw a young trainer ready to add another creature to the team and Pokedex.
