Phoo scurried back to where Icy was, in a corner of the room. He called Acropomider over to him, and they dragged Icy towards the center of the room. Some frumious Gastlies and Haunters were toying with the semiconscious rockets. As Phoo turned his head to look at the fire situation, he noticed that some sort of water was coming into the building, and dousing the flames. It turned out to be a sprinkler system that detected heat. But there was still the matter of escape. There seemed to be no way out, as the Gastlies and Haunters tormenting the rockets could be dangerous. Acropomider thought, to Phoo and Icy, "Well, I believe we are all psychics, so why don't we combine our power and try to teleport out together? And," Acropomider thought, pointing to Larry's unconscious body in another corner, "we should probably drag that thing out too, for ethical reasons." After a nod of mental agreement, Icy, Phoo, and Acropomider started to concentrate in unison. Their bodies, along with Larry's, started to glow a sparkling blue color. After a few seconds, there was a flash of light, and they all disappeared. *** Lavender Town Pokecenter *** A corresponding flash of light was seen in the sky, and three figures appeared, heaped in a pile. Icy was there, Phoo was there, and Larry was there. Acropomider seemed to be gone. Phoo dusted himself off, and spoke, "He seems to do that oftentimes... Acropomider does. Comes and goes... hmm... like the wind." Just then, Phoo took notice of Larry's unconscious body, heaped on the ground. His Magnemite was lying next to him, shut down. Phoo picked up the small Magnemite, and shook it. A bunch of developed photographs fell out, some of which had pictures of Icy, Phoo, and Acropomider on them. "No one will be seeing these... anytime soon," Phoo said, quietly. Phoo picked up the pictures with his image on them, and concentrated deeply on the photos. They started to glow orange, and sizzled with heat. All of a sudden, they burst into flame, and instantly disintegrated. Phoo smiled a little cockroachy smile to himself. He looked towards the west, and saw the pokemon tower, its flames almost completely extinguished. *** From the perspective of Icy *** Icy was incredibly surprised. First Phoo seemed to have teleporting abilities, then his friend disappeared without a trace, and then, most stupendously, the cockroach had seemed to be able to make a handful of photographs burst into flames. Being shocked, Icy asked, "Phoo, you are psychic, aren't you? You seem to be different than I would have expected." Phoo turned his head, and responded, aloud, "Yes... hmm... I guess the word 'psychic' might apply. Mentally accelerated might fit... better," Phoo took no other meaning to the question, and continued, "Hmm... all is well now. What plans do you have in mind?" They were right in front of the pokecenter, and could see Insanellama, Tauras, and Nova inside, who had seemed to have taken little notice in the recent events.
