The Psychic Gym
Jay Barial
Chapter One: Ultra versus Alakazam
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultra stepped into the Psychic Gym; they're next destination.
Welcome, said a voice in their heads. I shall be unknown to you, but you can hear my thoughts. You shall call me the Psychic One. I am hearing every word in this gym, and can understand every word too. Who shall be my first challenge?
"Well," said Jay, "I guess I'm the only one battling since none of your Pokémon are psychic. Let's go Ultra!"
Ultra stepped up.
An Ultra huh? said the Psychic One. I'll just use my Alakazam!
"Huh?" said Jay.
There was a big flash, and there stood a large Pokémon.
"Tra!" cried Ultra.
Jay fished around in his pocket. "Alakazam, a PSI Pokémon. No data available."
"Great," said Jay. "Let's start things off with a blast. Ultra thundershock!"
"Tra!" shouted Ultra as it shot out electricity.
Alakazam, teleport, said the Psychic One.
"Kazam," said the Pokémon as it teleported away from Ultra's attack.
"Fine then," said Jay, "Ultra, quick attack!"
Ultra ran up and tackled Alakazam. It didn't move.
"Ult tra," Ultra cried again.
Alakazam, psywave, said the Psychic One.
"Ala-KAZAM!" A psychic force hit Ultra sending him flying.
"Ultra, don't give up," said Jay, "thunder!"
Thunder shot down from the roof above their heads, and headed towards Alakazam.
Confusion, said the Psychic One again.
"Zam!" It's eyes flashed red, and the thunder headed towards Ultra.
"Ultra!" cried Agua. She glared at Jay. "Call it back!"
"Do it Jay," said Dee.
"Ultra, return," said Jay.
Chapter Two: Team of the Rockets!
Jay rushed to the Pokémon Center by himself. He had left Dee and Agua in the dust. Ultra lay helpless in Jay's arms as Jay rushed to the center.
"Prepare for trouble," said a voice.
"And make that double, double," said another voice.
Three people and a Pokémon stepped out in front of Jay. It was Team Rocket.
"I don't have time for this Team Rocket," growled Jay.
"To protect the world from devastation," continued Kelly, ignoring Jay.
"To bind all bad guys within our nation," said Fire Kat.
"To announce the evils of truth and love," said Mike.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," finished Nick.
"Mike."
"Nick."
"And Kelly."
Fire Kat hopped up. "Fiiiiiire Kat, that's right!"
"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light," said Kelly.
"Surrender now," began Fire Kat.
"It's an emergency!" exclaimed Jay. "Ultra's hurt and I need to bring it to the Pokémon Center!"
"That can wait until after we capture him," said Mike.
"Let's go Pokémon!" said Fire Kat.
Mike, Kelly, and Nick threw balls through the air, and out of the balls appeared Gasie, Abra, and Snake Eyes.
"Oh no," said Jay. He threw a Super Ball. "Come out Ivytortle!"
Out popped Ivytortle.
"Abra, confusion attack," ordered Kelly.
"Ivytortle sleep powder," said Jay.
Powder shot out of Ivytortle's plan before Abra could attack.
"Gasie, Snake Eyes, tackle it," ordered Nick and Mike.
Gasie and Snake Eyes hurried after Ivytortle.
"Ivytortle body slam them," ordered Jay.
Ivytortle slammed down onto Gasie and Snake Eyes.
"Gooo Flame!" Flame popped out of it's Super Ball.
"Fla!" he said.
"Flame, fire spin," said Jay.
"AAAAAAAAM!" Flame shot a tower of fire at Gasie and Snake Eyes. The towered headed towards Abra, and then to Mike, Kelly, and Nick.
"Ack!" they all cried. "Team Rocket's been blown away again!"
Chapter Three: Blob versus Psybird
Jay, Flame, and Ivytortle rushed to the Pokémon Center. Agua and Dee were waiting for him there.
"Where were you?" asked Agua.
"Three words for you," said Jay. " 'Prepare for trouble!' "
Dee sighed. "Team Rocket."
A nurse stepped outside the Pokémon Center. "Is there anything wrong happening out here?"
"No," said Jay, "but I need you to heal my Ultra." He looked down at Ivytortle and Flame. "I guess my other two Pokémon could be healed too."
* * * *
Dee and Agua were in the back of the Pokémon Center, which contained a large pool filled with water Pokémon. All Agua's water Pokémon, along with Jay's Tentacle, was out there. Dee had let Fearow, Birdy, and Artic fly around over head.
There was a rumble and a dark cloud seemed to pass over them.
"What the-" began Agua.
A large bird flew over head.
"Whoa," said Dee, "I wonder what that was?"
All of a sudden, the Pokémon Center went black. The electricity everywhere had gone out.
Agua and Dee noticed that some of the Pokémon seemed a little dazed.
Agua rushed over to Blob. "What's going on Blob? Did that big bird do something to you?"
"Blob," it answered with a nod.
"They've all fallen under hypnosis," replied Dee. "That must be a psychic bird. I'm gonna capture it!"
The large bird landed near the pool, not noticing Dee and Agua.
Jay stepped outside saying, "Hey guys! The electricity went out! You two better head inside."
"Jay," growled Dee, "that bird is going to attack if you don't shut up!"
Jay grabbed his Pokédex to see what it was. "Psybird, a powerful bird Super Pokémon. Psywave surround it's body making it nearly impossible to beat. This is a rare Super Pokémon."
"PSSSSSSY!" Psybird shouted.
"It's time to battle," said Jay. "Double, Talon, Bulk, and Puffy, go!" Four Super Ball hurled through the air.
"Rocky, go!" ordered Dee.
"All my water Pokémon," said Agua, "it's time to attack!"
When all of a the Pokémon came out, they seemed to have been put under the hypnosis attack.
"Psy! Psy! Psssssy!" Psybird flapped it's wings and began to head for the three.
"Blooooob!" Blob shot out of the water.
"Blob's our only chance," said Jay.
"Blob, water cannon," said Agua.
"BLOOOOOOOOOB!" A slit in the Blob opened up, and it shot a large amount of water at the Psybird, but it didn't effect it.
"Blob, dive under the water," ordered Agua.
Blob dove into the water.
Psybird circled around the pool waiting for Blob to surface.
"Acid armor," ordered Agua. "And, water blast!"
A blast of water shot at Psybird. Psybird dove at Blob, but missed, and hit the water.
"Blob!" it said happily.
"Super Ball," said Dee grabbing a Super Ball, "go!" It hurled through the air and hit Psybird. It rolled around, but Psybird popped out.
"It's not weak enough," said Jay.
"Trrrra!"
Out popped Ultra from the Pokémon Center, healed.
"Ultra!" said Jay. "Ultra, use your hypnosis attack!"
Hypnosis waves shot out of Ultra's eyes and hit Psybird, putting it to sleep.
"Super Ball, go!" Dee tried again. And again, the same thing happened.
"Ultra, return," said Jay.
"Ivy!" Ivytortle jumped out of the Pokémon Center.
"Ivytortle, poison powder," said Jay.
"Tortle!" Poison shot from the plant on Ivytortle's back and it Psybird.
"Now Ultra," said Jay, "thunderwave!"
"Ultrrrrrrra!" Ultra sent electricity through Psybird.
"Super Ball, go!" Dee's Super Ball hit Psybird. The Super Ball rolled around a little, then stopped.
****WHO'S THAT SUPER POKéMON: THASYPCOH?****
Chapter Four: A Second Try
***IT'S PSYCHOPATH! Psychoooooo Path!****
"Yeah, we have Psybird," said Dee.
"But I wanted Psybird!" said Agua. "I saw it first! Let me get it, let me! Come on! I need a psychic Pokémon to face the Psychic Gym!"
"So do I," said Dee.
Blob sighed. "Blob, blob, blob." Then it began to glow. "Blob?!" it shouted in surprise.
"Uh, Agua," said Jay, "I think Blob is evolving!"
Blob grew and grew until it was just a larger version of Blob. But unlike Blob, you could see a whirlpool of water moving around inside it.
"Whirlpool," said the Pokédex, "the water sack Super Pokémon. This evolved form of Blob is able to use a number of water, psychic, and wind attacks."
"It's a psychic Pokémon!" said Agua. "Yes! Now we have three psychic Pokémon to battle with at the Psychic Gym!"
* * * *
"We're back," said Jay as he, Dee, Agua, and Ultra stepped into the Psychic Gym.
Welcome back, said the Psychic One. Back for a second try? You'll never beat my psychic Pokémon!
"I'm not so sure," said Agua.
We'll use three Pokémon each, said the Psychic One. You may do a tag team if you wish.
"I'll go first," said Agua. "For my Pokémon I choose, Whirlpool!" She threw Whirlpools' Super Ball, and out it came.
I'll use- Psycho, go!
Out appeared a human-like Pokémon.
Jay held up his Pokédex. "Psycho, the crazy Super Pokémon. This psychic Pokémon is able to confuse other, while sometimes confusing itself. It's the mix between Abra and Mr. Mime. Evolves into Psychopath."
"Alright," said Agua, "Whirlpool, psybeam!"
Psycho, said the Psychic One, confusion.
"Psssssssy cho!" He began to dance around Whirlpool. Psywaves where surrounding Psycho as it danced. Whirlpool was getting confused.
"Whirlpool!" cried Agua. "Whirlpool, spin! Make Psycho's attack reflect off you and hit Psycho!"
Whirlpool began spinning around fast. Psycho tried to continue it's attack by circling with it.
Psycho stop, ordered the Psychic One. Psycho, psychic!
"CHO!" Psycho tried to use its psychic attack on Whirlpool but it just reflected back at Psycho.
Psycho return, said the Psycho One. The Psycho swiftly teleported away. Psychopath I choose you!
Chapter Five: Psybird versus Psychopath
Out teleported a larger Psycho.
"Psychopath, a crazy Super Pokémon," said the Pokédex. "This evolved form of Psycho, also a mix between Kadabra and Mr. Mime, is able to use a number of psychic attacks. Evolves into-"
"No time for that," said Jay, "it's time for Psybird to attack."
"Whirlpool return," ordered Agua.
"Goo, Psybird!" Dee threw a Super Ball and out appeared Psybird.
"Psssssssychoooooopath," said the Psychopath.
"Psybird, drill peck," ordered Dee.
Teleportation, said the Psychic One.
"Psy," Psychopath said as it teleported.
Metronome, said the Psychic One.
"Metronome," said the Pokédex. "This will let the Pokémon use one random attack."
Psychopath began to glow.
"Psychopath's about to use sky attack," warned Agua.
"Psybird, agility," ordered Dee.
Psychopath shot up in the air, trying to attack Psybird, but Psychopath's attack missed Psybird used agility.
"Psybird, psybeam!" ordered Dee.
A psychic beam of light shot out of Psybird's eyes. It hit Psychopath and head became confused.
Psychopath, said the Psychic One, use Metronome again!
"Chopath." All of a sudden, Psychopath exploded.
"Psybird!" cried Dee. "Agility!"
Smoke filled the area.
When it cleared, Psybird stood in front of where Psychopath had stood.
Psychopath, said the Psychic One, return.
Psychopath disappeared.
"It's time for you to battle Ultra," said Jay.
Chapter Six: Ultra versus Alakazam
"Ultra, go!" Ultra quickly teleported to the middle of the battle arena.
The Ultra again, said the Psychic One. In that case I'll use, Alakazam!
There, appeared the giant Alakazam.
"Tra," Ultra growled.
"Ultra," said Jay, "thunderbolt."
All right Alakazam, use your psytoss.
"RRRRRRA!" Electricity shot off of Ultra and headed to Alakazam. But, the electricity formed into a ball and turned and hurled towards Ultra instead of Alakazam.
"Psytoss," said the Pokédex. "This means Psychic Toss. This either tosses the enemy up into the air, and puts a greater force in an attack and sends it hurling towards it's enemy."
"Agility," said Jay.
Ultra dodged his own shot.
"Ultra," said Jay, "thunder!"
Electricity seemed to have gone through the roof and charged up Ultra. He sent a blast of electricity towards Alakazam.
Confusion, ordered the Psychic One.
The electric attack headed back towards Ultra. It hit him hard.
"Tra," Ultra cried.
"Ultra," murmured Jay.
Then Ultra hopped up. His eyes glowed a dark red. Then, Alakazam began to glow.
"What's going on?" asked Agua.
"Mind control," said the Pokédex. "Ultra's special psychic attack. It controls it's enemy making use attacks on itself."
"Ultra can do an attack like that?" wondered Jay. "Guess so. Ultra, make it use psytoss on itself!"
"Ra tra!" Alakazam curled itself into a ball and it threw itself, using its psychic powers, up and down, up and down, up and down.
Alakazam, said the Psychic One, confusion!
Alakazam tried to use the attack but ended up confusing itself.
Alakazam, recover!
But, instead, Ultra began recovering.
This isn't fair! cried the Psychic One. Alakazam, return! Alakazam teleported away. You win. You three may continue to the final gym.
Chapter Seven: On to the Final Gym
Jay, Dee, Agua, and Ultra marched happily along out of the Psychic Gym and headed to the Evolution Gym! How they would battle there, no one knew.
"I bet we'll need our evolved Pokémon to fight," said Dee. "Like Ivytortle, Whirlpool, and Fearow."
"Somehow, I don't think that's it," said Agua.
Jay, Dee, and Ultra stopped walking.
"Hey," said Jay, "you were a gym trainer around here. What's this evolution gym we've heard so much about."
"Dunno," said Agua. "It was the Four Gyms when I was here before."
"Great," grumbled Jay.
"But I've heard rumors," said Agua. "You have to have evolved your Pokémon to it's final stage before you can battle. Like Ultra has to evolve into an Ultimate before it battled."
"Tra, tra ra?" asked Ultra.
"No, of course I wouldn't make you evolve Ultra," said Jay. "I don't need an Ultimate, I have an Ultra!"
"Tra ra!" Ultra smiled brightly.
"They have the strongest Pokémon out of the five gyms," continued Agua. "They're even more mean than the psychic gym's Pokémon."
Soon, Jay, Agua, Dee, and Ultra stood outside the evolution gym.
"Well," said Dee, "here we go!"
The group walked into the gym.
* * * *
"This gym has the strongest Pokémon around," said Mike.
"And we'll catch them all," continued Nick.
"It's our duty as bad guys," said Kelly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," muttered Fire Kat. "I'm just here for the Pokémon! Soon, I'll be the top Pokémon of Team Rocket. The top cat! I'll be more famous than Meowth! Because I'm Fiiiire Kat!"
Mike, Nick, Kelly, Fire Kat, Snake Eyes, Gasie, and Abra all stood outside of the evolution gym.
"All this evolved Pokémon will make a perfect gift for the boss," said Kelly.
"Who needs that Ultra when you can get an Ultimate?" said Fire Kat.
"It's time," said Mike and Nick.
Well Jay, Agua, Dee, and Ultra get passed the final gym? What twisted plan is Team Rocket cooking up? And what evolved Pokémon will our heroes see next? Find out in The Five Gyms - Part 5: The Evolution Gym.
