When Ninten woke up the next morning, the first thing he did was check for his great grandpa's journal to see if yesterday was a dream or not. When he found it next to his bed in place of his lamp, he got up, got dressed, and headed downstairs for breakfast. His mom was already sitting at the table with a cup of coffee and a newspaper.

"Hi mom." He headed over to the cupboard to get some cereal and a bowl.

"Good morning sweetie. Did you sleep well?"

"Considering what happened yesterday, I'd say I slept alright."

"That's good. You can't be half asleep if your going into town."

"Yeah, speaking of town, does the newspaper say anything about ghosts?" He was sitting down with a full bowl of cereal and had started eating away.

"That's why I'm reading it, but it doesn't say anything about poltergeist attacks."

"Wierd. Maybe there'll be something about it on TV later. (Dad said it's been happening everywhere. Why doesn't the news have anything?)"

The rest of breakfast was silent, with Ninten eating his cereal while his mom got up to wash her now empty cup. Ninten quickly finished and put his bowl in the sink.

"I'm going to go up and grab some things before I leave, ok mom?"

"Ok, just tell me before you leave."

He went upstairs and grabbed the back pack that has just been sitting in his room since school had ended. He decided to take the 20$ he had saved up and his cash card with him so he could replace the lamps he has smashed yesterday, and he also decided to the baseball bat he had found just in case he was attacked by anything else. Just as he was about leave however, he remembered the journal that was sitting next to his bed.

"(Should I really take that? ... Well I might need it for a PSI thing so, I might as well.") He grabbed the journal and put it in his backpack, then headed downstairs.

"I'll be back later mom. Love you."

"Please be careful out there Ninten. I don't want you to be hurt."

After giving his mom one more hug, Ninten went through the door and began the walk to Podunk.

"(I wonder what else is happening other then poltergeists. I doubt those are the only thi- what is that?)" Ninten couldn't even finish his thought before he noticed a line of blue charging at him.

[Snake drew near]

"(A snake? Why is there a snake hear? They aren't from anywhere nearby.)"

The snake tried to bite Ninten, but he managed to block it with his bat. Surprisingly enough the plastic didn't even bend.

[Snake's attack. 0 damage to Ninten]

"(Come to think of it I think I remember seeing this type snake at the zoo. I'm pretty sure it's not poisonous. At least I hope it's not poisonous.)"

Ninten shook the snake off the bat. The snake landed on the grass and was immediately wacked in the center.

[Ninten's attack. 7 damage to snake]

The snake tried to slither away, but Ninten delivered a quick kick before it got the chance, sending the serpent flying.

[Ninten's attack. 4 damage to snake]

When the snake recovered from being launched, Ninten was surprised to see that the snake just sat there (or at least the snake equivalent of sitting) and then just slowly slithered away.

[Snake became tame]

[YOU WIN!]

"(O...k then. Why did it flee? What the heck is happening?)"

Ninten double checked to see if he got bitten by the snake without noticing. After checking himself and confirming he was unharmed, he continued to town.

"(I wonder what other PSI moves there are. There's no way the journal listed all of them.)" Ninten's thoughts trailed back to what his great grandfather's journal said about PSI. "( I really hope I learn some soon. Making fire anywhere I want would be awesome.)

As he continued down the road, Ninten saw his neighbor standing in front of her house seemingly pacing back and forth. He walked closer and began to hear her muttering to herself.

"Oh, what can I do? What should I do? Where can I go? I don't even know where she could have gone how will I find her?"

"Is something wrong Mrs. Lindgren?" Ninten swore he's never seen someone more distressed.

"Oh Ninten! Are you going into town?"

"Yes I am, what's wrong."

"Oh thank god! Pippi went out to play the other day but she hasn't come back! And she always comes back home before night time! Please you have to tell the mayor if your going to Podunk! I would but I'm to scared to go in case she comes home while I'm gone and I'm just so worried!"

"Yeah of course I will." Pippi played baseball with Ninten and his friends sometimes and was surprisingly good at it for a 7 year old, but other then that Ninten didn't actually see her that often despite being neighbors and, well he considered her a friend. He knew that she worried her mom with pranks a lot, but she would never go this far.

"Oh thank you so much! Oh god I hope she comes back soon."

Ninten continued to Podunk, leaving the distressed Mrs. Lindgren behind. He was almost there until he saw a man passed out on the ground.

"Ummm are you ok sir?

The man stood up with a hazy look in his eye and said.

"Whaaaaat. Who are you? Wait, your a cop aren't you. YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME!

[The hippie drew near]

"Wait what, dude! Calm down!" The hippie was clearly on something, and wasn't about to listen to reason.

"Get away copper!" The hippie tried to kick Ninten, but was to disoriented to actually hit him.

[Hippies attack. Just missed]

"What! That was my ultra mega super kick! You weren't supposed dodge that!

[Hippie flew into a rage. Offense went up by 11]

The hippie kicked Ninten again. This time it connected and hit him directly in the leg. It didn't break anything but it still hurt.

[Hippie's attack. 10 damage to Ninten]

Ninten was still hesitant to attack, but took a swing at the mans arm anyway.

[Nintens attack. 7 damage to hippie]

"Wait hold on a sec, I need to think about what to do"

Ninten was confused as to what this mean, but the man just sat down and folded his arms for a couple of seconds.

[The hippie meditated. Nothing happened]

"I got it!" The hippie pulled out a bullhorn from seemingly out of nowhere and yelled, "Go home Mr. Cop! Your mom's calling for you!"

[Hippie used bullhorn. It didn't work]

"(What? Why is he talking about my mom? Why would drag my mom into this!)"

[Ninten got angry at the hippie. Offense went up by 17]

Ninten charged at the hippie and delivered a blow with his bat.

[Ninten's attack. SMAAAASH! 25 damage to hippie.]

"Wha? What happened? Who are you little dude?"

[Hippie regained his senses]

[YOU WIN!]

Ninten was panting a bit, but still managed to say what he wanted.

"Are you going to stop now?"

"Stop? What are you- oh I didn't hurt you did I?"

"My leg hurts but I'm fine otherwise."

"Oh I am so sorry about that little man. Here, take this as an apology." The hippie handed Ninten the bullhorn he used earlier. He took it and put it in his bag.
[Got bullhorn]

"Um, thanks."

"Least I can do bro. Catch you on the flip side."

The hippie proceeded to walk away without a care in the world, leaving a very confused Ninten behind.

"(What the heck just happened?)" Was all he could think to himself for a bit, but then he remembered his leg and checked on it. Sure enough, there was a giant bruise where he got kicked earlier.

"(Well that sucks. Wait, maybe I can fix it up.)" Ninten pulled out his great grandpa's journal to find the healing technique it spoke of. After finding it and reading how to use them, he attempted to get rid of the bruise.

"PSI Lifeup alpha!" Unfortunately nothing happened, so he tried again.
"PSI Lifeup alpha!" Again, he was met with no success. He gave up after a few more tries.

"(I guess I really do need to wait for some sort of fever if I want to use these abilities huh. I wish I knew how to trigger them but the book doesn't mention how it appears")

As Ninten thought more about PSI, he finally arrived in Podunk, where his first real threat would soon confront him.
