From the perspective of the Pokémon, pre-elite four:
>living in the wilderness
>gnawing roots, picking berries, hunting critters
>clumsily skirmishing with other wild Pokémon
>cowering in some hole at night
>suddenly, a human's bright eyes fall upon me
>his loyal and able Pokémon easily beat me into submission, but he's taken a liking to me
>the human leads me out of the dirty undergrowth and into teeming cities, lush forests, sinister caves, and bursting stadiums
>brings me civilisation, under his brilliant guidance I reach new heights and am able to crush foes which would have swallowed me whole in the wild
>now I live in a box ;_;
From the perspective of the Pokémon, post-elite four:
>be born
>shaky ride on a bicycle
>some creepy guy inspects me
>the human who brought me here seems pleased
>forces me into strange contraptions
>has me watch his older Pokémon slay hordes
>eat really good food while watching his older Pokémon beat up really powerful Pokémon
>now the human went back to riding his bicycle
>what is the meaning of life
