farlaHere's a short little conversation story I just wrote that'll probably be one of the interludes in Imagine, assuming I ever write it all up.
Why aren't there enough fish? Because the dolphins ate them. Why is there pollution? Because of trees.
Yeah.
Totally not our fault.
So imagine-
"Gentlemen, recently, the existence of an ancient pokemon has been discovered. This huge creature lives in the ozone layer, so high up it has escaped detection for centuries.
"As is obvious, it cannot exist without taking in some form of energy. Although scientists initially speculated it might use the sun's rays for light, this has proven untrue. The pokemon apparently lives off of the atmosphere, flying around to gather sustenance not unlike a huge wailord.
"For the past generation, we've become aware of a vast problem. The ozone layer around our planet, which we rely on to protect us from the sun's more harmful forms of radiation, has begun to vanish."
A map appeared on the wall, highlighting areas with the least ozone. The speaker pointed to one, a large red patch blotting out a section of a continent.
"As you can see, our country is one of those with what are termed 'ozone holes'. Scientists have unfailingly documented this phenomena, which makes extended sun exposure dangerous in our area. However, until now, we have had no way of combating this problem, as we lacked knowledge of what to do."
The man leaned forward.
"Gentlemen. The course is obvious. We must destroy this monster that is eating away our ozone as quickly as possible."
