(Note: Akyinrew, this is your cue, if you want to fight Sabrina.) Rose gathered her pokémon and looked at Phannon, who nonchalantly continued to stare out the window. He slowly turned to face Sabrina "You're the psychic, you tell me." He said, grinning. _Why is this boy grinning?_ Rose asked herself. _Sabrina is dangerous._ Sabrina's eyes flashed red and Rose saw Phannon slide up the wall, as if an invisible hand pushed him. "Jolt!" Generator didn't like his master being tossed like a rag doll, and sent a wave of electric energy at Sabrina. Phannon's grin widened. _So he has a plan._ Rose thought. "I thought the pokemon battled, not their trainers." He sneered, Rose saw him relaax, and assumed the hand had released him, while Sabrina focus on reflecting the thunder bolt. "Jolteon. Jolt." Rose looked at the Jolteon, and while not being psychic she could have swore she felt his anger, radiating in waves, that hit her like the ocean at high tide. Rose also felt the calm fury that was coming from Sabrina. The tension continued to build, as the three way staring contest died down. Sensing this could get messy Rose made her exit. The glow in Sabrina's eyes faded slightly, as she summoned her pokeballs from her private healer. "Correct." Her voice was as frosty as ice. "Two pokemon." The ball hovered into the center of the arena, and released it's contents, an Alakazaam.”Who do you choose?” “No contest, I choose Generator.” The pokémon trotted into the arena, facing the two-spoon weilding pokémon. “Double Team!” Phannon said, opening the battle. Sabrina’s eyes flashed in reply. “Ala!” An invisible beam of psychic energy was launched at one of the images of the jolteon, the wrong one. Phannon chuckled at the effectiveness of the deception. “Generator, thunder bolt.” Sparks arced from the jolteon’s spins and raced towards the alakazaam. Phannon saw a muscle in Sabrina’s cheek twitch, he couldn’t tell if it would have been a grin or a wince. It was replaced by the glowing of her eyes. The lighting was quickly diverted, and sent back at Generator, who agily leapt out of harms way. “Quick attack!” The jolteon nodded and charged the alakazaam, not giving it time to react to the assualt. It took a forced step back, and countered with psychic. The attack hit the jolteon hard, and he dropped to his stomach, like a dog being trained. The alakazaam straightened from his attack. “Kazaam!” Generator’s mind fogged under the barrage of energy, but his resolve never faded. He staggered to his feet, ready for another round. Phannon felt the determination from his pokémon, and called out the next attack. “Try thunder bolt again!” He summoned all his strength and charged his spikes. The alakazaam was surprised that his opponet had the energy to battle on. Phannon watched the alakazaam simply gawk at the electricity that leapt from the jolteon to it’s armor, and let his grin return when it passed out. Sabrina’s eyes flashed in rage at the sight of her fallen pokémon. She levitated another pokéball, and deposited it’s Mr. Mime onto the arena floor. “Generator return.” Phannon said, nodding to the vulpix that had been watching the battle from his shoulder. “Go Pixar!” The little vulpix leapt down and approached the arena. The Mr. Mime strutted towards pixar and started slapping her back and forth. “Pixar, flamethrower.” “VulPIX!” The flames shot out and engulfed the other pokémon. When Pixar stopped it found a statue sitting in the place of the Mr. Mime. “Substitute!” Phannon grumbled under his breath as he planned his next move. “Pixar, body slam.” She surged forward, slamming the statue. It shattered on impact. The Mr. Mime set about trying to confuse the vulpix with his confusion attack. She staggered back and forth, until she tripped on her on paws. The Mr. Mime walked up to Pixar again, and slapped her repediatly. “Mime! Mime! Mime!” It hit again and again, Pixar was too confused to avoid the hits. Phannon watched his confused pokémon closely, looking for the tell tale fire in her eyes. It never appeared, she fainted under the Mr. Mime’s heavy hand. Phannon’s shoulders slumped in defeat, “Pixar, return!” He attached the pokéball to his belt and made for the door. “Your jolteon is strong.” Sabrina said to his back. He ignored her and kept walking. “I sense something between the two of you.” This caught Phannon’s attention, and he turned to face her. “What kind of something?” He asked, raising his eyebrow. “A bond.” She said quietly. “Like I’ve never seen before.” She shrugged, looking for words to describe it. “It’s like when a psychic takes control of another, only neither one of you is dominant.” Now Phannon was intrigued, he started to walk back towards Sabrina. “So, what does this mean to me? I’m no psychic.” “Yes.” Sabrina nodded. “You are a psychic.” Phannon just chuckled and turned to leave, when he was frozen in midstide, balanced on his foot. “Close your eyes.” Sabrina ordered. Phannon obeyed. “Let out your jolteon, but keep your eyes closed.” His hand suddenly came free and he obeyed, the red beam of energy left a disgruntled jolteon. “Now point to your pokémon.” Phanon pointed straight at Generator, feeling the slightest bit panicked. His pokémon picked up on that and growled at Sabrina, who only nodded. “Just as I thought. You two have been bonded.” She released her grip and Phannon took an involuntary step back. “What does that mean?” He gasped. “It will take a while to explain.” Sabrina started. “And that is unimportant now.” The cold Sabrina faded away, as she saw the challenge in training Phannon to use his powers. “You are a weak psychic already, your powers don’ t show much growth potential.” Phannon blinked at this. “If I’m psychic, how come it wasn’t found during testing.” All babies were tested for innate psychic abilitlies. “I think you ’re off.” He shrugged, turning again to leave, half expecting to be frozen again, as Sabrina’s temper flared. “Listen, boy! I offer to _personally_ train you in using your powers and you just turn and leave?” She tried to grab him in a psychic hold, but he sensed it and dodged out of the way. “Who’re you callin’ boy?” He looked her up an down, an angry glint in his eyes. “You’re only old enough to be my girlfriend.” She grabbed for him again, and he sidestepped, realizing halfway through that he had proved her point. He sagged his head in defeat. Sabrina allowed her self a small smile, when Phannon looked at it he felt his blood run cold. “Prepare to train.” Was all she said. “I’d better tell Rose to get moving then.” He gestured to the door, and stepped out side, informing Rose, she nodded and left the gym. Phannon walked back into the arena and faced Sabrina. “Okay.” He branced himself for what was to come. “I’m ready.” (NOTE: ENTER, I want to write the training stories, and Rose can go, Phannon might be here for a while.) -- Through all the hype a new sig emerges - v. 4.79.64b World famous oxymoron: Microsoft works, 'nuff said Dilbert(The best satire of all time): "Remeber, money is _no_ object...
