Man, I really spoil you guys! This is the last of my pre-written stuff! Let alone that the pre-written was ONLY about 42 pages... I've been giving you guys like 8-12 pages at a time here! Well, read on.
Disclaimer: -holds up Lance plushie- This is all I own. -plushie disappears- ...Ok, so I own nothing...
As we got closer to the Center, we saw there was a large crowd. My head started to ache. I looked at the people and it was like I could almost hear their thoughts. Like that one kid in the yellow and blue shirt...
'Oh my god, this is so cool! Maybe I can get to see him! Maybe I can get his autograph!'
...Wait. I heard what he was thinking... Ok, I'm freaked. I focused on the girl next to him.
'Oh my god, Lance is so cute! Maybe I can touch his cape...'
...Lance is MINE. I pushed through the crowd into the Center itself. I was immediately swamped by people, reporters and such. They were all yelling 'It's her!' and 'Look over here!' GOD was my head hurting. That's when I heard him.
"How about you all get away from my girlfriend." OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD! LANCE! The crowd parted to either side so I could see the speaker. You know that goofy smile that fangirls get when they're thinking about an adorable bishonen? I had that smile. Then I came to my senses and ran (read as 'turned into a blur and shot') at him. He opened his arms and hugged me.
'This is proof... Someone VERY high up likes me.' I thought.
'Very true. In fact you're hugging him right now. And I'd say from you brain waves that you are very happy right now.' Came a voice from the back of my mind. It sounded a lot like...
...Wait. Why would Mewtwo risk being detected by contacting me? And just to respond to a stupid little comment?! Is he insane?! Lance released me from the hug and motioned for me to sit down with him.
'No, it's just my... shift, as you humans would call it.'
'Why all the fuss over me?'
'Tomorrow is the new moon, is it not?'
'I think so; I only read my calendar this morning.'
'I will explain then. Just know this: you fit the prophecy.' Wait, what prophecy? As far as I know, there is no prophecy! I looked at my watch. 8:24. Man, does time fly.
"I'm tired. I'm going to bed." I said. I gathered my things and followed Nurse Joy to my room. I flopped down on the bed and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Shinrai asked. She came and lay down next to my face.
"Long day." I said. Then some words echoed through my head.
'...you fit the prophecy...'
"Shin, what do you know about prophecies?" I asked suddenly.
"I know that there is a major prophecy among us Pokémon, why?" Shinrai replied absently.
"What's it about?"
"Oh, something about two human girls from another world coming to help us in our time of need and one has to go back in order for the other to stay. The one who stays will hold the gate while the one who leaves will bar the way... Something about thunder and mind... Around there... Whatever that means..."
"Ok..."
"Don't worry yourself over it. It's just a legend."
"Yes, but I've learned never to just ignore legends and prophecies."
"Whatever. I heard one from the humans too."
"And?"
"It's something about a girl who has a Psychic affinity and her partner and her both have violet eyes. She and her partners will keep getting stronger and beat the Champ himself." I pondered this and slowly drifted off to sleep.
DREAM SEQUENCE
Darkness... Darkness everywhere... I fumbled in my bag for a flashlight. I turned it on and nearly screamed. The light that came from it was dark! Like deep purple and black. I pulled out a lighter and got the same result from the flame. I dropped them and started to run. As I ran, voices from all around me kept chanting.
"One of thunder, one of mind,
Will come and help us, rare from their kind,
One will stop in the dark; one will buckle in the cold,
Eyes of heart and eyes of soul,
They know the strength and know the flaws,
They feel the earth beneath their paws,
Two will come, but one may stay...
If they wish to keep the way,
Mind and thunder, dark and light,
Will aid us in our toughest plight,
Their strengths will come and help us, true;
But only one will follow through...
Selfishness will hold one back,
While that is what the other lack,
One will go, one will stay,
To hold the gate, yet bar the way."
A voice in my head said, "You can't outrun destiny, Diviner! It will always catch up to you!" I ignored it and tried to run faster. The chanting got louder and louder as I ran.
"You can't outrun destiny forever, Diviner!" I ran and ran. I saw a creature up ahead. An Espeon! It turned and looked at me with its purple eyes. Its LIGHT purple eyes.
"You can't outrun destiny. Your fate is to save our world, Diviner. Only you and one other have the power. Save us, Diviner! Save us!" It cried. Only it sounded like it was in my head, not in the air around me. I stopped running.
"Please, make the darkness go away! Please!" I yelled as I fell to my knees, crying. I closed my eyes and covered my ears.
"Destiny will always find you, Diviner! Always..."
"Please... Help me..."
"...Always..."
"...Help..."
"...Always..."
END DREAM SQUENCE
I woke up and sat bolt upright, breathing heavily. I looked around. Things were FLOATING! And the whole room had a bluish sheen, like my glasses had blue lenses instead of clear. Let alone my glasses were actually floating next to Kaze's and my Poliwag's (who I named Umi) PokéBalls. And it was like there was warmth behind my eyes, coming from a part of my brain I never knew existed. The warmth was like being wrapped in a warm blanket.
"Put me down! C'mon, I don't like heights!" Shinrai's voice was heard. I closed my eyes and rubbed them. The warmth slowly disappeared. When I opened my eyes, colors were normal. Everything fell to the floor with a crash. I winced.
"What the hell happened?" Alex's voice asked from the doorway.
"I dunno, hold on, lemme find my glasses so I can see you." I said. I got out of bed and started to squint around for my glasses. Kaze got out of her ball and handed them to me. I put them on and I clicked on the light. What I saw was, strange to say the least. Mewtwo was standing in the doorway behind Alex and Kitsune.
"Do I even WANT to ask what it is between Legendaries and the middle of the night?" I asked jokingly. I tried throwing out my senses and found that Lance was behind Mewtwo.
"Hello, you have just crossed the border into Weirdsville, welcome to my life." I said. Alex smiled.
"Well, if you're making jokes, then I know you're ok." She said.
"I want to know how you levitated those items if you claim to have no psychic powers." Mewtwo said, pushing Alex to the side and coming in. (Alex: How rude!)
"Honestly? I have no idea. One second I was in a nightmare, the next I was awake trying to figure out why the hell the things in here were blue and floating." I said.
"The things weren't blue, Megan." Alex said seriously.
"Whadaya mean, 'the things weren't blue'? I opened my eyes and everything in here had a blue tint."
"No they didn't."
"That's it. We need to take a trip back to Saffron. I need to discuss this with Sabby."
"I agree. That's probably the safest thing to do right now." Mewtwo cut in. Alex jumped. She looked at me. Sighing, I tapped my temple. A look of understanding crossed her face.
'And early-morning stupidity claims another victim.' I thought.
'Is that what you humans call it? 'Early-morning stupidity'?' Mewtwo cut in.
'Hey, get out of my head. God alone knows what's happening in there.' I gently pushed him out of my mind. It was like imagining hands shoving him away. Strangely, it was almost like I didn't need to do it myself. Like my mind forced him out on instinct. Freaky.
"Well, since we are so OBVIOUSLY not gonna get back to sleep tonight, how about we leave now? The sooner we get to Saffron, the sooner we can figure out what the hell is going on in my head." I suggested. Alex and Mewtwo nodded. They left the room and Lance took their place.
"What was that all about?" he asked.
"Truthfully?"
"Naturally."
"To put it simply, I have some sort of new psychic powers and they activated during one of my nightmares. Mewtwo sensed them. If he sensed them, then probably any sensitive Pokémon in this place did too. We're heading to Saffron to talk to Sabrina about it."
"I'm going with you."
"You don't have to. I obviously don't have any control over this, so you may be putting yourself in danger."
"I want to. I won't let you do this alone." I sighed.
"Stubborn as ever." I hugged Lance and he walked out of the room. I got dressed and headed outside. I sat outside, waiting for the others. I closed my eyes, wishing for this all to stop happening. My life back home with anime was FAR easier than this! Faintly, I heard some strains of music. Listening more closely, I recognized words. Not English words, Poké-Speech.
"Time passes by... And memories fade... But time can't erase... The love that we've made..." The music was almost hypnotizing, kind of like a lullaby. Unconsciously, I started swaying to the haunting tune. Two more bits of the music passed before I listened again.
"...Hold me close... so deep in your heart... I will find you... No matter where I have to go... And dream of me... For I will be there... Follow the starts that bleed... Into the quiet night..." That's where the music stopped.
"Aww..." Silently, I wondered what the music was from. I began to feel drowsy.
"Call of the Siren. The most advanced move that a female Pokémon can learn. It causes a different problem each time it's used." Only semi-alert, I vaguely recognized Shinrai's voice. I sat on the bench outside the Center. Eyelids heavy, I laid down and yawned.
"I think... this time it was... Sleep..." I slurred.
Ok, there you have it. My semi-co-writer Alex even told me that the dream was creepy. So, tell me how my prophecy is, kay? Poke-plushie of your choice to whoever can get the other prophecy first!
Since you are all SUCH nice reviewers, I have another spoiler for you. Tell me if you want the epilogue to be the spoiler for the next chapter!

Just outside Celadon City:
Ever since the incident in the Vermillion Gym, my sensing powers were stronger than usual. I could sense the Pokemon like usual, but now I could tell what species they were. Suicune was still tailing us, just to make sure noting bad tried to attack us. The surges are bad enough without having to battle a brainwashed Celebi.
"Hey, we're almost there!" Shinrai said. The Eevee bounced around me. I stopped walking for a second to let her jump up to my shoulder. Thats when it happened.
Wham! It was like something exploding in my mind. It was another surge of psychic power!
"AH!" I yelled. I collapsed to my knees, clutching my head. Alex and Lance rushed up to me. Suicune jumped out of the bushes.
"Meg, what's wrong?!" Alex asked frantically.
"It... hurts so... much..." I moaned. The stress on my mind was getting to be too much.
I blacked out.
