Kaily fought to keep her thoughts in tact,'Ok, breathe Kaily-girl, you're not losing it. So, your brother can read minds, you've seen weirder. I mean, you've been able to understand pokemon since you were a baby. You saw a HO-OH when you were ten years old, then you saw it again a few months ago! A mind reading boy isn't THAT strange, is it? UGH!!!'
Ash watched the back of his sister's head with interest,'Why is she talking to herself? She can understand pokemon, just like I can? She saw Ho-oh too? She thinks I can read minds?!' "Kaily?"
"What?"Kaily snapped, a little harsher than she intended.
"You don't need to bite my head off."Ash muttered,"What do you mean, I can read minds?"
Kaily paled,'He heard me?'
"Of course I heard you."
"Ash, how much did you hear?"
"Youve been able to understand pokemon since you were a baby, you saw Ho-oh twice, and you think I can read minds."
"You can."Kaily said simply,"Everything you heard came from my mind, not my mouth. You're a telepath."
"You're kidding."
"No, Ash, I'm not."
Ash nearly fell from his perch on the arcanine's back.
Misty looked out her window at the setting sun,"Where are they?"
"Knock knock."Brock walked into the room,"Worried about Kaily and Ash?"
"I guess it's just what Ash said earlier,"Misty sighed,"I was thinking that Professor Oak was a brainless baka with an ego the size of Johto, and, it's like Ash heard half of my thoughts, and thought it was me I was talking about. I'm worried about him."
"That makes two of us."Brock sat down on the bed next to her,"Ever since Kaily showed up everything's been weird. Ash seems more relaxed, but, at the same time, he's more uptight. It's like he's changing into a completely different person. Not to mention that tablet, and Kaily's pokemon. It's so strange, it's almost scary."
"I was talking to Gary,"Misty whispered,"he saw Ash the other night. He was talking to Pikachu, but, he was actually talking like a pokemon. He also said Ash used to do that alot when they were little. Everyone passed it off as just a kids game, but, he still does it. What if something's wrong with him?"
"I'm not sure."Brock shrugged,"Maybe it's just a game, or maybe he can actually understand pokemon, and he never told us. Who knows? I just know that things are going to change, and some of those changes, of course, won't be good."
"So, I'm not the only freak in Pallet Town."Ash laughed from his spot next to the lake.
"Yeah, as long as I can remember I've been able to talk to pokemon."Kaily shrugged, leaning against Tallen,"Dad would sit there in awe as I played translator for his pokemon. He said I was speaking raichu before I could even talk."
"I wish Mom did stuff like that,"Ash sighed,"when she saw me talking to Mimey when I was five she thought I was just playing, and Professor Oak wasn't much better. Gary just laughed, like a lot of the other kids. After awhile I just stopped, till I got pikachu. We'd stay up till dawn talking."
"Pika pika."
"I can still remember the first time Kaily spoke to me."Tallen looked at her mistress,"I was so shocked I fell in the river."
"Storm wasn't much better."Kaily smirked,"Don't worry about what other people think about our gift, what matters is what you think. Do you LIKE being able to talk to pokemon?"
"Of course!"
"Then that's all that matters. I can remember Dad laughing at me when I first told him about it, but, he eventually accepted it, and loved it."Kaily smirked,"The sun's setting, we'd better get back. And, PLEASE Ash, pay attention. If a person's lips aren't moving, they are THINKING, try not to answer them. Or, even better, try NOT to read their minds. You should be able to control it."
"That's not going to be easy."Tallen pointed out.
Misty looked up from her book as the front door slammed and Ash strutted into the room,"Hi Ash."
"Hmph."
"What's your problem?"Misty closed her book.
"You, that's my problem."Ash snapped.
"Excuse me?"
"You're a selfish, short tempered, brat that couldn't survive ten minutes on her own!" Misty was taken aback by Ash's harsh words. "I want you to get OUT of my house, NOW!!"
"So, that's what you think of me,"Misty fought back her tears,"fine then, I'll leave! Let's go Togepi!"
"Togiprrri?"
Misty picked togepi and her backpack up and stormed out of the house. 'Ash' snickered and transformed into a ditto then slipped out of the house.
"MOM!!!! WE'RE HOME!!!"Kaily dropped her backpack next to the door and walked into the kitchen, Ash, who was still stunnded at their recent discovery, close behind.
Delia walked into the room,"There you two are, where's Misty?"
"Last I saw she was here."Kaily shrugged,"I wanted to talk to her."
"Well, I just got home and she wasn't here,"Delia looked behind the twins,"I thought she might have gone after you."
"Well, we haven't seen her."Tallen poked her huge head into the doorway,"Got anything to eat?"
"Tals."Kaily rolled her eyes,"See if you can pick up Misty's scent. We'll just have to go after her."
Three Days Later
"I can't believe him."Misty growled, chewing on a piece of steak,"He says he's my friend one minute and the next he's telling me to get out of his house."
Suddenly a door slammed behind her and Jesse stormed into the restaurant and floped down next to her,"Selfish jerks."
"Guy trouble?"Misty didn't even look up.
"They're your best friends one minute,"Jesse began.
"and the next they're kicking you out of their house."Misty finished,"What happened to you?"
"James and Meowth just started yelling at me for no reason."Jesse snarled.
"Join the club."
Both girls let out an annoyed sigh,"Boys."
"You can't live with 'em, and you can't live without 'em."both girls turned to see a very tired and annoyed Kaily standing behind them,"I've been looking for you for three days, Misty. Brock and Ash are goin' nuts with worry and Mom's probably not much better."
"Grrowlithe!"
"Kai.Ly?"Misty choked on her steak.
"Who're you?"Jesse asked.
"Name's Kaily."the black haired teen stole a piece of steak from Misty,"How, why the heck did you vanish on us, Misty?"
"I'm sure you already know."Misty snarled.
Kaily gave an exasperated groan and turned to Togepi,"Togi togi prii?"
"Togi togi prii prii togipriii!!! Togi!"
Kaily gave a suprised look,"That's impossible. Ash was with me all afternoon. He couldn't have come back and yelled at you."
"Oh really,"Misty snapped,"then who was it?"
"Togi togi?"Kaily asked.
"Pri pri."Togepi shook its head.
"Ugh."Kaily groaned in annoyance,'Think Kaily-girl, think!' "Misty, I swear, Ash wouldn't something like that, especially to you. Ash may be an idiot sometimes, but he would never hurt you."
"That's what I thought, too."Misty sighed.
"Madre de dios, you're hopeless!"Kaily groaned.
Ash watched the back of his sister's head with interest,'Why is she talking to herself? She can understand pokemon, just like I can? She saw Ho-oh too? She thinks I can read minds?!' "Kaily?"
"What?"Kaily snapped, a little harsher than she intended.
