From: Ig88sw82 <ig88sw82@aol.com> Subject: [PW!] Psycho Psychics Date: Sunday, June 06, 1999 2:14 PM After a few hours of walking, Jamie finally made it to Saffron City, with Magnemite in tow. As soon as she entered the city, she got an enormous migrane, and fell to the ground. A few seconds later, she got up again. "What was that?" Magnemite floated over her, looking very worried about its trainer. "I'll be okay. Let's take you to the Pokécenter." --- Shortly afterward, Jamie gave her Pokémon to Nurse Joy, then headed over to the Saffron City gym to meet Sabrina. As she walked through the doors, a young man looked up at her. "How do you expect to challenge the great Sabrina without any Pokémon?" "How did you... oh yeah, the psychic thing." The man looked infuriated. "How dare you mock my psychic power! I could destroy you with but a whim!" "Whatever. Anyway, I didn't come for a battle, I need to speak with Sabrina." "Very well. Right this way." The man led Sabrina down a dark hallway, then into the main battle hallway. "Sabrina, a young woman seeks counsel with you." <Very well. You may leave now.> As the man left, Jamie was feeling very confused. The voice hadn't come from a person, but from inside her head. What was going on? "I'm sorry if that disturbs you," said Sabrina as she stepped into the room. "How did you hear that?" "To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure." Just a moment." Sabrina briefly closed her eyes, then opened them again. "You have come to ask me something." "Well, on my way here-" "Why were you coming here?" Sabrina asked. "Um-" then she stopped. Why had she come here. There didn't seem to any rhyme or reason to it. "I don't know why. Anyway, I fought this psychic, and during the battle, I heard his voice in my head, but he was communicating to his Pokémon." "Hmm." Sabrina was deep in thought. "Would you care to take tests?" "Sure." --- Instantly, Sabrina and Jamie were transported to a small room. There, many psychics were testing themselves to increase their skills. Sabrina led Jamie to a table in the corner. "I want you to clear your mind, free it of any thoughts whatsoever." "Okay." Jamie closed her eyes and tried her hardest to free her mind. "What do you see?" Before she could say anything, the whole room went dark, and she was alone "Sabrina? Where are you?" <Don't worry, I'm right here. What do you see?> As Jamie began to look around, the black void began to change, and suddenly, she was standing in a grassy field. To her left was a sign that read, "Welcome To Fuschia City." "I'm... I'm in Fuschia City." <Very good. Now, what is happening?> Jamie began to wander around, when suddenly, A Spearow flew right past her head, carrying a set of gold dentures in its beak. A boy was running after it. He tossed a Pokéball, and a Pikachu leapt out. The boy spoke to his Pikachu. "Zip see that Spearow up there?" "Pika Pika?" Zip responded. "Blast it out of the sky!!!" Zip charged up, then blasted at the Spearow with a Thunderbolt. The Spearow used its agility attack to dodge it, then shot right back with Mirror Move. Undaunted, the boy sent out his Butterfree. "Zap him with a Solarbeam!!!!" The Butterfree shot the beam from its eyes, but once again the offensive missed, and Spearow Sky Attacked, seriously injuring the Butterfree. He returned his Butterfree, then closed his eyes. Suddenly, a Psychic wall appeared in front of Spearow, holding it back for the moment. Zip jumped out again, and zapped it with another Thunderbolt. The distracted Spearow was knocked to the ground from the impact. Then, the image disappeared, and Jamie was back in the gym, Sabrina at her side. She quickly fell to the floor from exhaustion. "Wha... what happened?" she groaned as she slowly pushed herself up. "It is uncertain," said Sabrina, hands clasped. "But this much I know: you are a psychic, and in time, you will learn to control your powers. For now, you must continue on your path. I cannot help you anymore," and Jamie was standing in front of the Pokécenter again.
