The Psychic Reader

One day, Elite Four member Lucian invited me to Stargleam Cavern for a friendly rematch. I accepted. Dawn tagged along.

Lucian called out a Mr. Mime. I called out my Roserade. They were evenly matched in speed. Mr. Mime used Light Screen and Reflect to bolster its team's defenses. Roserade knocked Mr. Mime out with two Sludge Bomb attacks.

He sent out an Espeon. I recalled Roserade and sent out my Luxray. Espeon easily outmaneuvered Luxray and hit it with Psychic, which both did damage and lowered Luxray's Special Defense. Luxray struck back with a Crunch move and knocked out Espeon.

He called out a Bronzong. I recalled Luxray and called out my Infernape. Infernape easily outsped Bronzong and hit it with a Flamethrower attack. This both did a lot of damage and burned Bronzong.

Bronzong struck back with an Earthquake attack and almost knocked Infernape out. Bronzong was hurt by its burn. Infernape hit Bronzong with another Flamethrower and knocked it out.

He sent out an Alakazam. I recalled Infernape and sent Luxray back out. Alakazam outmaneuvered Luxray easily and hit it with Psychic, which almost knocked out Luxray. Luxray struck back with Crunch and knocked out Alakazam.

He sent out a Slowbro. Luxray easily outmaneuvered Slowbro and knocked it out with only one Thunderbolt attack.

He called out a Gallade. I recalled Luxray and called out my Staraptor. Staraptor's Intimidate Ability activated and lowered Gallade's Attack. Staraptor outsped Gallade and knocked it out with one Brave Bird attack, the recoil of which damaged Staraptor in the process.

"I see. Your power is real," he said.
