作品名稱：〈神畸寶貝〉Pokemon

作品介紹：

寶可夢是近期的流行事件。在卡通中，人類以訓練師的名號，將寶貝球作為禁錮神奇寶貝的道具，明白展示了動物與人類間的主僕關係。現實中，假設有朝一日發生大規模生態危機，有毒的突變生物於全球異常增生，屆時，回收這些動物的工作者應會扮演類似訓練師的角色踏上征途，只是寶貝球將換成防毒容器，人類亦將承受自然反撲的惡果。每個生態系統的毀滅都正在消弭著我們的世界，人類不該再優越地以主人自稱，而是該謙虛地恢復生態平衡，才能永續共生。

Pokemon is one of the most popular topics recently. In its story, people call themselves “trainers”, and use Pokemon balls to cage Pokemons. This is a clear demonstration of superiority versus inferiority, showing how we are used to think animals’ existence is to follow our command. In reality, if one day a massive ecological crisis occurs, causing toxic mutated animals to emerge around the world. The workers who are sent to collect these animals would also be like those “trainers” in the cartoon, but only their Pokemon balls will be replaced with anti-toxic containers, and we’ll all suffer from consequences we caused by damaging nature. We should no longer think us as masters. Instead, we should be modest, try our best to balance the ecosystem, and rescue our planet together.
