Morning came far too quickly for Andy, as he felt the warmth of sunlight hit his face. Out of idiotic instinct, Andy covered his blind eyes and got out of bed. He expanded his Aura, and noticed that both Gardevoir and Katherine were still sleeping, so he decided to make use of the time he had, and took a shower. He walked towards the shower in the bathroom… and straight into the plastic door of the shower space.
"GOD DAMN PLASTIC!" Andy yelled, and immediately regretted it as he sensed Gardevoir jerking awake.
"What the hell was that?" Gardevoir asked from outside the bathroom.
Andy rubbed his sore head before answering. "Plastic door doesn't have a goddamn Aura reading." He groaned, and groped for the invisible handle. Finally, he reached it, and did his business.
"What was the yelling about?" Katherine asked, and rubbed her eyes free from any remaining sleep.
"Andy can't sense plastic." Gardevoir replied as she walked over to Andy's bag in search for food.
"He'll have a tough time telling which bottles are soap and what not." Katherine said as she packed her things. She noticed that Gardevoir was trying to open a container with some noodles and sauce. "And that's people food."
"I know full well what I'm eating. Just not how to open this god damn thing." Gardevoir groaned. She tried tearing it in half, and received an amused look from Katherine.
"You are an idiot, aren't you? Just take off the lid."
"Ass." Gardevoir said. She hated this girl for numerous reasons, some of which are incredibly obvious.

Andy stepped out of the bathroom in jeans, running shoes, a black over-shirt with a flame trim, and an intense fragrance. "I couldn't figure out what was what…" Andy said, and rubbed his tearing eyes (A/N: His tear ducts still work), and his nose crinkling due to the sent-killing smell that clung over him. "Oh, by the way, what in Mew's name am I wearing?" Andy asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Gardevoir said sarcastically.
"Andrew, you look fine." Katherine simply said. She telekinetically threw Andy's bag over to him. "We're leaving." She ordered, and walked out of the room.
"She's bossy." Gardevoir stated, and received a nod from Andy. The Aura wielder grabbed his bag and walked out the door, followed by Gardevoir. They found Katherine outside of the Pokémon centre surrounded by people giving off a familiar Aura signature.
"No, I'm not joining your extremist group. Why would I anyways?" Katherine asked the man at the head of the group.
"Because the Army needs someone like you." The man said with a smile evident under his beard, and his liquid voice seeping into the air.
"Gods damn you Harold! How did you escape?" Andy seethed, and flowed Aura into his body from his reserves. He was ready to kill the High Priest.
"Andrew Ketchum, long time no see my friend." Harold said happily. His voice sounded as soft as silk, with a cynical drop of acid in the fabric. He filled Andy with so much hate with his calming voice and unnaturally happy attitude. "But I'm afraid we aren't here for you." He said, and turned to Katherine.
"I'm not changing my mind." Katherine said, and started to walk away, but was grabbed by one of the grunts that accompanied Harold.
"I do believe you have no choice." Harold said, but soon doubled over in pain, along with the rest of the grunts.
"Would you like me to rip apart your consciousness, and then mend them all back into one single sentient being?" Katherine asked threateningly. When Harold and the grunts didn't reply (for an obvious reason), Katherine simply walked south, followed by Andy.
"Damn Katherine, you are freaking scary." Andy said. He then added, "I like it."
"I do my best." Katherine replied.

The two trainers and Gardevoir were soon on the route connecting Saffron and Vermillion. They were peacefully walking down the route, until a random trainer ran up to them with fear in his eyes.
"Run! The Army is slaughtering Vermillion!" And with that, he ran towards the confusion that is Saffron City.
Andy and Katherine nodded to each other and started running toward the distressed city, followed by Gardevoir.
"The hell do you think they're there for?" Andy asked as he jumped of a circular plate of Aura meant to carry him.
"Only Mew knows." Katherine growled. She extended her psychic energy towards Andy and Gardevoir, and teleported the three of them to the entrance of the city.
Andy fell off his Aura disk into the dirt. "Warn a guy before teleporting!" Andy complained, and then looked at Vermillion. It was chaotic. There were burning buildings, people fighting for their lives, and a woman in a cloak holding a child hostage.
"Surrender you Arceus worshipping scum, or the boy dies!" The powerful voice of the woman yelled. She took out a dagger and pressed it to the kid's throat.
Andy lost it. Never in his life has he seen or even heard of such brutality to a city. He heard of Team Flare in the Kalos region, and they wanted everyone dead, but they never out-right killed anyone; much less a child.
'Aura technique: Power quake.' Andy ordered himself as he poured a heavy amount of Aura into the ground. He directed the bronze energy under the woman, and released it from his bonds with a powerful surge of energy that made a fissure in the ground. The woman had no choice but to let go of the boy, who ran towards the citizens.
"What in the name of Mew was that?" The woman bellowed. She looked around, and saw Andy who was glowing blue (relative to her). "Was that you? How dare you attack me? I am Casey; High Priestess of Mew!" She exclaimed
Andy was still angry. He was going to make quick work of this bitchy asshole.
"Oh, me? I'm no one, just a blind and helpless teenager." Andy said sarcastically, pointing to his dull green eyes. "I almost forgot; I'm an Aura wielder." Andy charged forwards with a fighting staff made of Aura, and rammed it into her torso.
"Grunts, attack the Aura wielder!" Casey ordered, and the grunts obeyed hesitantly.
Andy decided to give the idiots a warning on what to expect, and started saying his attacks. "Aura technique: Warhammer!" A Warhammer appeared in his hands, and he started to sing 'A Few of My Favourite Things' in a sadistic manner as he swatted grunts away as if they were flies.
"Wha-what are you?" Casey asked in a weak voice as Andy rendered the last grunt unconscious (might as well read as 'given permanent brain damage) with his Warhammer.
"I," Andy dispelled his hammer, "am the Army's nightmare." Andy staked towards Casey, and grabbed her by the collar. "Now get the fuck out of the city."
Casey nodded quickly. "No pro-"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't let me finish. You're leaving via police force or ambulance, you fucking idiot." Andy seethed as he poured his obvious hatred for the Army into that one sentence. Andy turned to one of the citizens and ordered, "Call Saffron's police force immediately."

Andy was sitting in an interrogation room that had a plastic chair, and a plastic table. He couldn't see a thing in the room, but he could sense outside the room.
Apparently, the Saffron and Vermillion police forces don't take kindly to people who save other people's lives, and calls them 'Dangerous Vigilantes'. 'Dangerous? Ha! If it weren't for me, all of Vermillion would have been slaughtered!' But there was no escaping the worthless law.
The Officer Jenny from Vermillion entered, and sat on a plastic chair. She was emitting a lying Aura, and Andy knew immediately knew they were playing the 'Good cop Bad cop' routine.
"Well, I must admit Mr. Ketchum; you have skills that are unrivaled." Jenny said, and handed Andy a photo ID that indicated she was an officer.
"You must be a fucking idiot." Andy said simply.
"Beg your pardon?" Jenny asked, shocked.
"You hand me a plastic card and expect me to read it. I'm blind, you asshole." Andy explained with an angry frown.
"Sorry, I didn't know." Jenny lied. Andy could sense her heart-rate go up. He could sense her palms become sweaty.
"You're lying." Andy said, and directed his Aura to the metal camera at the entrance of the room, intent on making it malfunction.
"How did you know?" Jenny asked, but didn't wait for an answer. She left the room, and the Jenny from Saffron entered. She was emitting a strong, but faked, angry Aura.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?" She asked loudly, causing Andy to laugh quietly.
"I have a question, officer. Where are my Gardevoir and friend Katherine?" Andy asked, hoping for a certain answer.
"Katherine escaped police forces and Gardevoir is in its ball." Jenny replied carefully as Andy's smile grew wider.
He got his answer.
"Then I guess I don't have to be here at all." Before Jenny could object, Andy broke the camera and sent a wave of Aura that sent Jenny flying into a wall, and into unconsciousness.
Andy was blasting away anyone who opposed his escape as he ran into the room where Gardevoir was kept. He grabbed her Premier Ball, and powered his way out of the law's grasp.
"Andrew, head south! I'm on a fairly large island, meet me at its port in thirty minutes." Katherine ordered via telepathy.
Andy stuck Gardevoir's ball back in his belt, and ordered himself a set of Aura wings, and flew south for about twenty minutes.
When Andy landed, he hid his consciousness with a low Aura pulse that stayed at his head. He took only twenty minutes, so he decided to sit down by a tree and relax. He sent out Gardevoir who was determined to relax as well. Neither of them was noticed by Katherine who was waiting on the boat docks for Andy.
Before Andy could call out to Katherine, Gardevoir stopped him.
"Andy, read her Aura first. You never know if she is a bad person, and now might be the only time you can check." Gardevoir suggested, and Andy agreed.
Andy expanded his Aura, and started reading Katherine's. He sensed no psychic barrier this time, and decided to learn as much as possible. Her Aura was bronze in colour, and not just a similar bronze to Andy's. It was identical. Andy started to sense anger, and a psychic wall being erected.
"Stay out of my head, Andrew." Katherine ordered as she was walking towards the blind Being of Aura.
"I'm fucked, aren't I?" Andy asked innocently, still confused about how he and Katherine shared the exact same colour Aura.
"You have no idea." Katherine said with a… playful (?) smile. Andy could have sworn the cells near her mouth moved into a smile. And since Aura can't lie…
Katherine grabbed Andy's hand, and dragged him deep into the forest… (A/N: Wait, I'm using that scene again? Crap, this could end badly.)
"Katherine, the last time a girl dragged me into the woods, she got shot through the head." Andy commented worriedly.
"We're not stopping in the forest Andy." She said… Wait, Andy? She always says Andrew! What in the name of Rayquaza is going on here?
Katherine stopped dragging the blind Aura wielder as soon as a village came into (her) view.
"Katherine, where in the name of Mew are we?" Andy asked as he sensed the village to be empty. Not an Aura within range.
"This village is abandoned, and the perfect place to train. I know that you're the being of Aura, and I know you are going to stop the war." Katherine said, and pointed to her head when Andy gave a confused look. "Also, the war will happen in about five years, but we must remain here the whole time. We cannot leave the island, or contact outside people." Katherine said, and inspected their situation.
"So we have to stay here for five years?" Andy asked loudly, and received a slow nod from Katherine. "Well, how do you know this?"
"My dad was a clairvoyant."
/AUTHOR'S NOTE/ Well, that was bloody unexpected! Expect the next chapter to be based around two years from that point…! You're going to kill me, right? No? Good!
