Yay! I got reviews! Thanx, both of you! Maybe I'll acquire more
readers with this story. Anyway, here comes...
Ch. 2: Attack Plans
When I got back to Suiculia, who was waiting rather impatiently, I told her what Mewtwo had said, ending with, "So now the Mysterious One is on the warpath again. Natheon said he's never seen him so furious before. I'm glad he's on our side, this time."
Suiculia shuddered. "Yeah, that's *definitely* a good thing. I wonder what happens next?"
"You know, I don't really know. I think Natheon is on reconnaissance duty, while the others make plans. I hope they come up with something soon."
"Me too."

A few days later, Natheon came to visit me. "Hi, Natheon! What's up? Any news from 'Command Central'?"
"Yes, actually, and quite a bit of it. First of all, we've finally been able to crack the codes the scientists used to encrypt their journals, which has yielded lots of interesting information. For example, the girl whose DNA you have was actually a psychic from Sabrina's gym. The scientists intended you to be able to use all of her powers, but something went wrong, and they thought you could never access them. However, we believe that with a little coaching, you could levitate and produce illusions, and under dire circumstances, even use telepathy. You want to try?"
"Wow, really? Of course I want to try, I've always wanted to be able to fly and stuff! What do I do?"
"Imagine yourself floating in the air, and focus on the image. That's usually the best way to learn how to levitate. Eventually, you'll be able to simply focus on the feeling, but until then, you'll want to actually picture it."
I did as he said, closing my eyes and focusing on floating. I opened my eyes to ask how I was doing, and stopped concentrating immediately; Natheon had suddenly gotten several inches shorter! "Whooa!" I said, falling back to the ground in a heap. "Owww..." I sat there a moment, regaining my composure. The brief levitation had taken a lot of energy. "Wow, that's tiring."
"It'll get easier with practice," Natheon informed me, "Do you feel up to trying the illusion?"
"Sure, why not? I'll try it." Keeping my eyes open this time, I imagined a face on the tree Natheon was standing next to, then concentrated on it. A ghostly image of a face appeared, startling him.
"Eeep! Don't *do* that!"
I giggled, exhausted. "I don't think I'm up for any more lessons today."
"All right. The Mysterious One's plan involves you using some of that illusion, so I'll be coming back to work with you tomorrow, once you're rested. Okay?"
"Sure. And by the way, what *is* the plan?"
He explained it to me, and I agreed. "Ooh, I can't wait to see their faces! See you tomorrow, then!"
"Bye!"
