Interesting take on Alaya, less of a formless desire for human progress and more of a kinda bratty bitch who can't seem to grasp the concept of boundaries. Also, really? Going straight for Ash? I realize that Pokémon is a bit short on the kinda Heroes that would make decent Counter Guardians, but you really thought that Arceus wouldn't notice you messing around with the soul of his CHOSEN of all people?!
To comment on this a bit, let me grab a quote from the chapter itself:
The language used in conversations between gods is infinite in depth and complexity. Those few mortals who can hear said conversations, keep from dying to information overload, and understand even the bare minimum of the concepts being traded like molecules between atoms, can spend days dissecting a single ‘word’. Theological transcriptors rely on metaphor so deep in complexity that every sentence requires full paragraphs to understand, and poets who read it will weep at the layers of language used to create even the barest hint of divine melody.
To translate the following conversation into abbreviated English requires so much loss of context, emotion, and information as to make any of those selfsame poets collapse, frothing at the mouth. But it must be done to understand the purely mortal interactions which would come thereafter.
The meta commentary here is Arceus giving Alaya 'personality' in this conversation to make it easier for us, the readers, to follow.
