Far be it from me to turn down a challenge you miserable runt. [....Well, that's...promising.]
Here friends, what do you think of this? There's no such thing as birthright that's recognized by nature, and it's a notion the weak use as a trick to keep themselves in power they didn't earn. To hear a person claiming they're you're better when it's clear they're helpless on their own, that's plain foolishness, isn't it? And yet there's worlds where such ineffectual men are kings and the people are made to believe that it's natural and just for the throne to grant power alone. And they suffer for it because when the king is weak he must resort to underhanded means to ensure nobody's more powerful than him.
But that doesn't have a damn thing to do with this world because it doesn't work like that here. So who else thinks that anyone who crows about their title in this world is only fooling themselves? Pokemon give power where it's earned by effort or skill. Where it's not, the unfit can't rise to where anyone would suffer beneath them. And the rest of us are free to show them their natural place when they think their hollow claims to good breeding make them any better than another. A place in a pool, for example.
[...That should probably offer a clue to what this unabashed craziness is about, if the fact that it goes up about ten minutes after a post from Saionji doesn't give it enough context. I'm...I'm sorry, guys.]

[He's kind of left feeling stupid here, but not in the completely awful way. Because Cecil's got it right, and he's a decent guy.]
So how do you fix it when it's just...not there to begin with?
[One obvious answer pops to mind as soon as he said that, but...maybe there's a way that doesn't involve being hunted down.]

[And he's hoping he's also one.]
You'd need someone coming from a different system to plant a seed, perhaps. But that does leave you dependent on others, which comes with its own share of problems.
