Chapter 13-Lisa Returns to Earth

One day, Lisa was handling training Misty. Just then, she receives a telepathic message from her puppy, Sally. Sally: "Lisa…Lisa…" Lisa: "Sally?" Sally: "Lisa…I feel…weak…something terrible is…happening…on the Earth…" Lisa: "Hang on, Sally. I'm on my way. Peach, you handle the rest of the training with Misty." Peach: "Ok."

Lisa disappeared. Peach: "Alright, Misty, let's get to work on some of your princess training." Misty: "Oh, man, not more intensive princess training sessions."

Soon enough, Lisa arrives back on Earth. There, she regrouped with Sally. Lisa: "Sally, there you are. What's wrong?"

Just then, she started to feel somewhat ill. Lisa: "Uh…I don't feel so good. What is that I feel?" Sally: "That is darkness. Do you remember having feeling this before?" Lisa: "How could I forget? I felt this way since back when I first returned to Earth and Springfield with my powers. The hatred towards me and the Powerpuff Girls from the citizens was unsettling. It's terrible being a telepath in a place filled with so much hatred." Sally: "Tell me about it." Lisa: "Unfortunately, this feeling isn't coming from Springfield." Sally: "Could it be that great evil that Ly was telling us about, the one that could possibly threaten the entire Earth?" Lisa: "It could be. It feels far worse than even what I felt in Springfield, like someone or something displays a bitter resentment towards all living beings." Sally: "Yes, it is terrible. This feeling just started recently. I don't know where it came from but something is rotten here." Lisa: "Well, I'm glad you called me. Let's try to find the source of this feeling and fast." Sally: "Right. Let's go."

Meanwhile, on Corneria, Misty still continued her princess training. Peach: "That's it, Misty. Keep that posture. Remember not to slouch." Misty: "Uh…how does anyone manage to go through all of this?" Peach: "Going through this requires patience and persistence. You just need to be more determined to delegate to behaving like a delicate princess." Misty: "But that's it, I'm not delicate, I'm not like you, Peach, I don't attend tea parties and formal dress balls like you. I'm not a classy person." Buttercup: "Oh, I already knew that." Misty: "Shut up, Buttercup!" Peach: "Well, that's all Ok, you don't have to be a fancy person but you have to at least change your behavior. I mean, you fly off the handle over every little thing. This training is to help you handle tough situations without losing your temper. I don't want you to change your personality, just how you manage your temper. You can be whoever you want to be and like whatever it is you like." Misty: "Ok, I do like Water-Pokémon and to catch and befriend Water-Pokémon, too. In fact, before I met any of you, the Water-Pokémon were the only friends I've ever had." Peach: "That I understand. You can continue to like Water-Pokémon, I'm just scared that you might lose your temper to a point where most people think you're scary and you have scared some of us with the way you erupt. I'm afraid for you in that aspect." Misty: "Well, when you say it that way, it does make sense." Peach: "Ok, then, let's get back to training. I want you to learn some anger management techniques. It may seem hard to do, but after you practice them, they will become easy to accomplish. Now, let's start with some calm and composed exercises."

At that time, Lisa and Sally were traveling together. Lisa was still feeling uneven. Lisa: "Uh…I still feel so ill at ease." Sally: "It's been a while since either of us felt this bad. You remember feeling this when those horrible, one-eyed aliens returned to Springfield?" Lisa: "How could I forget? After what I said about them the first time we met, everyone in that town turned against me. Not even my father and brother would speak to me. When those aliens returned to supposedly give us a second chance, the entire town jumped into the chance to give them what they thought they deserved. That was the first time I ever sensed any deception." Sally: "That was terrible. You could never tell anyone about what you felt because they would never want to believe you." Lisa: "I know. It was a good thing that Townsville took my side on the whole ordeal. But…after I was able to expose those aliens' true intensions for being in Springfield, I was still being treated badly by those people."

Sally's face grew very tense. Sally: "Bunch of useless ingrates, you weren't even welcome in your own hometown. If it hadn't been for the fact that they and Townsville were bitter rivals and like winning the best town of the month award more than they hated you, you could never return." Lisa: "Yeah, it was fun watching the citizens of Springfield with those uneven smiles on their faces each and every time they had to greet me. Townsville was gladly able to have Springfield win that reward just because they enjoyed watching Springfield suffer more." Sally: "Springfield and Townsville really hate each other more than Springfield hates you." Lisa: "Yeah. They only wanted me around for that reward and reward that only." Sally: "True, they don't even like the Powerpuff Girls even after every good deed that they for everyone in that miserable town. It's like they dislike people who do good deeds while the people who commit bad deeds are treated like heroes."

Lisa shrugged as she shook her head. Lisa: "Springfield is one messed up place. It always has been since it was first formed by that bloodthirsty pirate, Jebediah Springfield." Sally: "How did a young girl as magnificent as you come from such an awful place?" Lisa: "I've asked myself that question all the time." Ly: "Lisa, can you hear me?" Lisa: "Yes, Ly, I returned to Earth after Sally felt something horrible. We have reason to believe it's that great evil is the cause of this." Ly: "I feel that way, too. Something on Earth does not feel right. This great evil may act earlier than I thought." Lisa: "What's going on, Ly? What is this great evil and what is it planning on doing?" Ly: "I wish I knew, bu…it is able to conceal itself, even from the most powerful telepaths. I have a feeling that we may not know much about it, but it knows much about us. I can sense that it has spent a great deal of time building up its energy and getting ready to strike." Lisa: "How much time do we have left?" Ly: "Not a lot. I can sense that it will be at the brink of being ready to strike. Should we let that happen, the Earth will not last another few years without suffering many causalities and then the Earth itself will become its next victim." Lisa: "Then we have no time to lose. We have to find it and finish it off before everyone on this planet suffers and…" Sally: "I'd rather not hear the rest of that sentence." Lisa: "Me neither." Ly: "There's something else that you need to know. There is another reason that I needed you to find Misty and have her awaken her powers." Lisa: "Another reason? And what is that exactly?"

Meanwhile, back on Corneria, Misty was about to finish up her princess training for the day. Peach: "There. That should be the last of your training for the day." Misty: "Oh, thank goodness." Peach: "I must say, Misty, you are doing quite well, although you still have a long way to go. We'll have to increase your sessions tomorrow, but for now, let's take a break."

Misty had a chance to relax. Fox: "I have to admit, Misty. Between your fairy training and princess training, you're doing very well. I've been seeing your progress improve everyday." Misty looked up at him, she seemed very happy. Misty: "Really?"

Fox nodded. Fox: "It's been a lot of fun watching you try, I can understand if it's hard, but you're really handling it very well." Misty: "Well…it has been tough, but it's been nice to have you watch me go through with it. You've been so supportive of me through all of this." Fox: "Well, I just want you to succeed. If Lisa believes in you, than so do I." Misty: "You really mean it, Fox?"

He nodded. Misty: "Oh, Fox. Thank you." Fox: "You're welcome."

As they smiled at each other, Peach looked directly at them and began to notice something. Peach: "Hm…"

Back on Earth, Lisa was stunned. She floated idly in the air, speechless and shocked. Sally: "Lisa?" Lisa: "No…can this be true? Is everything that you have told me all true?" Ly: "Yes, Lisa. All of it. I'm so sorry, but you are coming near that point." Lisa: "I…I can't believe it…" Sally: "So what does this all mean?" Lisa: "I…I don't know. I never thought this would come so soon. I don't know what to do about it. I never prepared for any of this…" Ly: "Lisa, this will be the last epic fight before that time comes, so I need you to make sure that Misty is ready for it so that she can fight it with you. I also need her to be ready for any future threats. Lisa, it was essential for her to make new friends; ones in which she can trust."

Lisa paused for a minute. Sally: "Lisa, are you Ok?" Lisa: "It was a good thing I introduced her to Fox. I know he will take good care of her. I trust him with all my heart. What must we do until Misty finishes her training?" Ly: "Hm…while you are on Earth now, there is something that I need you to do. Since this great evil is pure darkness, it can be weakened with the power of light. Also, we both know that your powers are increasing by the minute, I need you to gather a large portion of your energy and release it on to the entire planet." Lisa: "Are you sure about this, Ly?" Ly: "Yes, I am positive. It will not completely stop this great evil, but it should buy you enough time to train Misty to complete her training and help you battling this great evil." Lisa: "Ok, if it means giving the Earth more time, I will do it."

She did what Ly told her to do and with that, both Lisa and Sally began to feel a lot better. Sally: "Ah, that's better. I can still feel that darkness, but it's not as strong as it was." Lisa: "You continue to keep a watchful eye on the planet, I'll return to planet Corneria and finish up with Misty's training." Sally: "Be sure she succeeds. The fate of the planet depends on it." Lisa: "I know."

She was able to return to Corneria. There, she reunited with Misty and the others. Misty: "You're back." Fox: "Is everything Ok, Lisa?" Lisa: "Yes, everything's fine…for now. At the moment, Misty needs to continue training. It is essential that she needs to control her powers." Fox: "Ok. She's doing very well so far." Peach: "Yes, indeed. Her princess training has improved quite a lot." Lisa: "Glad to hear it, but she needs to train her powers." Misty: "Just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it." Lisa: "Ok, then. Let's get started on controlling your psychic powers." Misty: "Ok, Lisa."

Fox, Misty and Peach looked away. Lisa had a concerning look on her face. At that time, she remembers what Ly told her while she was on Earth. Ly told her that she is becoming too powerful to a point where she will be unable to control all of her powers. They will become unstable unless she wears a special headpiece that can suppress a large portion of them. She will be unable to fight many powerful enemies like she use to or will soon, but she will at least control enough of her powers to be able to defend herself. Lisa knows of this process as becoming an Elder Fairy, a process that she feels too young to go through, but her high I.Q. has caused her powers to develop quicker than many fairies her age. From this process, she feels that it is now more important than ever to train Misty, although she is saddened by the news; too saddened to tell anyone.
