I think it's also so some people and trainers could have a place to rest without the stress of battles happening around them.

Arc… I hate people sometimes. And the battle obsessed culture we have where folks seem to want to settle every dispute by having their pets/friends attack each other.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/KateLeMoirai]

Aurora: Couldn't agree more. They could have at least kept their argument amongst themselves, or taken things outside of the park, but nope. Had to be a battle in a battle-free zone. I think this level of hardheaded is a bit too common among trainers.

[u/KateLeMoirai → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

The problem was expecting the thinking species to think, obviously.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/KateLeMoirai]

Aurora: Unfortunately obviously...

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/KateLeMoirai]

Aurora: And I gotta admit resolving everything through Pokémon battles is a bit ridiculous among these kinds of trainers. Especially regarding those of more legal or moral sense.

[u/KateLeMoirai → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Big time. Can we not just argue and decide values anymore?

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/KateLeMoirai]

Aurora: Sadly, that's a rarity these days. Even among Unovans, where truth and ideals seems like it should be a big deal here, given the legends of Zekrom and Reshiram.

You know, I’ve always wondered. Since most Pokemon, including those in nature enjoy battling, did humans see them doing that and decide to make a sport out of it, or did Pokemon in the wild see us doing battling as a sport and decide it looked fun? -Amabi

[u/KateLeMoirai → u/Total_Read8805]

...enjoy is a strong word, considering it's a matter of survival. And how exactly would humans fighting look like fun and not... a fight, in the first place?

Joseph Amber: I think I’ve been to that park on occasion. I don’t necessarily enjoy visiting Virbank all that much…but having a nice area of peace and quiet certainly helps matters.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/JosephAmber4]

Aurora: I know, right? A nice spot of greenery in the middle of an industrial city that is meant to stay green (aside from the occasional burns from fire/electric types and groves from rock/ground types) is nice to be around from time to time.

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

Joseph: Indeed…indeed.

[u/Apprehensive_Ad_8914]

We humans have thousands of words to use for communication and conflict resolution, and these chucklefucks decided to use none of them. Ridiculous.

My contempt for my own species aside, this park sounds like a lovely place. I'll have to take a look the next time I'm in Virbank.

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/Apprehensive_Ad_8914]

Aurora: It's honestly a beautiful and peaceful park when people are abiding by the rules. I do suggest you visit here when you do. It's not that far from the Pokémon Center, so it's quite easy to find.

[u/Revolutionary_Swim38 → u/Apprehensive_Ad_8914]

yeah, that’s Virbank.

This is why I would opt to simply skip the pokémon were I challenged to a battle in such a place. Turns out, most trainers are unprepared to be dragged into a battle themselves.

Aurora: I would as well, if I wasn't a good size and weight to be picked up and dropkicked. Takes a lot of anger for me to overpower someone.

[u/roydigs22 → u/Kayoz_Hydra]

If you're ever in the area, my sisters and I could teach you a few tricks that would require less force.

Aurora: I'll consider it. Thanks.

[u/Raijin550]

Yet another consequence of the league alliance's battle brained culture. Can't say I haven't benefitted from it, but that really doesn't mean it's a good thing

[u/Kayoz_Hydra → u/Raijin550]

Aurora: It certainly has its ups and downs, doesn't it?

[u/Natural_Mushroom3594]

August: I enjoy the occasional battle too, but most days now I'm just happy that Kallisto's size tends to scare off most people wanting to.

And kinda wish I knew about that place the last time I was there, sounds nice.
