"Pokemon ARE Nature. They are its embodiment. The fundamental forces of Nature, given form, then allowed to change by Time. When a Pokemon evolves, it is an inherited response to a changing environment. Magikarp used to be nothing but a swift-swimming fish - big and strong, yes, as it fed in the streams - but it only evolved the ability to change into Gyarados when more and more pressures were put on it. As humans in this millennium alter the landscape with their axes and saws, I have no doubt that Pokemon will require new evolutions to adapt. And most will, for such is the power of Nature - but whichever species fail to adapt, I shall do my best to preserve."
Arcanine gives an approving, lordly look to see you and Cottonee together.
"The journeys humans take with Pokemon are very important. It is wholly necessary that humans share a bond with Pokemon, if both are to survive the other. The choice of a human's first Pokemon is an important one. Nature herself has chosen certain species well-suited to become traditional human partners. Others, such as your Cottonee, are less typical but no less important."
"Shiva, entrusting an Egg to you would be very significant. Do you understand the responsibility?" Without really waiting for an answer, he goes on. "If I were to give you this Egg, you would have to take a serious oath. A Pledge. You and I will make a pact so powerful, Nature herself will respond to our voices. Whenever you remind Her of this Pledge, she will respond to your voice. Her flames will keep Minicorn warm and safe when she is still within the Cradle. They will defend her when she is in danger... you must do the same with your love and with your companions."
"Every Fire-aligned Pokemon who witnesses this Pledge is bound to help enforce it. In return, they will be granted a powerful move by Nature."
Any qualifying Pokemon you bring to witness the Pledge of Arcanine will learn Fire Pledge, Flamethrower, Fire Punch, Heat Wave, and/or Fire Fang.
Pokemon who have Loyalty matching their Disobedience might also learn Blast Burn.
The given move MUST be on their level-up or ? list.
"Shiva, I will give you this Minicorn Egg. You will Pledge to love it and the Pokemon it contains. You will Pledge to do everything in your power to see her grow up happy and strong. You will Pledge to do your best, when the time comes, to allow her to raise a family in whatever way is best...for her. Even it means leaving you. Do you understand? Do you Pledge?"
