"A pokemon speaking through telepathy"

Chapter 6: Psychic Vision

"Staravia use Ariel Ace!"
"Star!"
"Aaahhh!"

Ash glared at the Gallade as he landed on his feet after getting hit.

"It's a good thing I sent Staravia in before it executed Focus Punch" Ash thought as Staravia flew on his out stretched arm, in his other arm he held an unconscious Pikachu.

"He's a quick thinker…" Gallade concluded as he got to his feet.

"Let's try this!"

Gallade began charging a Shadow Ball.

"Shadow Ball? Why is it using Shadow Ball? Oh well!"
"Staravia, Ariel Ace again!"
"Star…Avia!"

"Perfect!" Gallade said to himself.

"Take this!"

Gallade threw the black orb at bird as it charged in with Ariel Ace. As the two attacks collided, the Shadow Ball exploded, catching Ash and Staravia off guard. Through the remains of the ghost attack Ash sees Gallade jump in.

"Staravia stay on guard!"
"Too late!"
"Huh?"
"Star!"
"Staravia! No!"

Ash watch as his normal/flying pokemon gets hit with Psycho Cut. "Staravia return!" Ash growled as he puts the pokeball away and nodded his head to Pikachu, who had just regained conscious.

"Pikachu, Volt Tackle!"
"PikaPikaPika…Pika!"
"Let's try Shadow Ball again!"


"That's terrible!" Dawn exclaimed
"Do you know why your trainer did that?" Brock asked

Gardevoir shook her head, "No, but I think Gallade might know"

"Pikachu, Volt Tackle!"
"PikaPikaPika…Pika!"

Brocks head shoot up, "Ash and Pikachu?"

Dawn stood up and looked to Houndoom, "Track them down, Houndoom!" "Houndoom Hound!"

The dark pokemon ran off in the voices direction, guiding the others through the maze to their friends. While running, Brock smirked as he notices Paul growl in annoyance, "Geez Paul you sure don't like the idea of looking for Ash" Brock tensed as Paul directed a murderous glare at the former gym leader. Luckily the others were a bit farther away to hear what was spoken.

"I'll be quiet now"

Paul just smirked in response. Meanwhile up front Gardevoir turns her head to the trainers, "Their presence is getting closer and closer" "Which means we're on the right track!"

Paul suddenly enlarged Chimchar's pokeball and threw it in Dawn's direction, "Flamethrower!"

"Chimchar…Chim!"
"Hound…Doom!" the pokemon shouted as it used Flamethrower as well

Both fire attacks countered a Shadow Ball that flew in font of Dawn.

"Whoa!" Dawn screamed as she backed up behind Paul

Gardevoir looked to where the attack came from to see…

"Gallade!"

The said pokemon turned his head towards a higher up ledge, "Gardevoir!" Gallade then sees Brock, Paul, and Dawn and thinks the worst.

"Have they kidnapped her? No matter, I must get her away from them!"

The blade pokemon leaped towards the ledge with Psycho Cut. Brock stood protectively in front of the group, "Gallade please stop! We're not your enemies!"

Ash and Pikachu, who had just realized the situation, ran over to the group to try and stop the assault from Gallade. Suddenly a huge vacuum-like machine with arms bursts into the carven. The machine had a large red "R" written on the center. A platform from the top of the robot rose to reveal James, Jessie, and Meowth.

"Listen, to the voices we hear,"
"It's speaking to me loud and clear,"
"Floating on the wind,"
"Past the stars,"
"In your ear,"
"Bringing chaos at a total breakneck pace,"
"Dashing hope putting fear in its place,"
"A rose by any other name is just as sweet,"
"When everything's worse our work is complete!"
"Jessie,"
"James,"
"Meowth's the name,"
"Putting do-gooders in their place,"
"Team Rocket,"
"We're in your face!"

Gallade stops his attack and lands on a near by bolder, "What is this?" "Team Rocket! What are you doing here?" Ash asked

Jessie smirks and snaps her fingers, "Meowth!" "Got ya!"

The scratch pokemon pulled out a remote control and pressed a button. One of the robot's arms trusted forward and opened its palms to reveal a hole. "Two psychic pokemon! Coming up!" Meowth pressed anther button and soon Gardevoir and Gallade were soon sucked into the machine.

"Oh no! Pikachu hold on!"
"Pika?"
"Huh?"

Ash looked to his side to see the suction didn't affect the electric pokemon.

"Ash!"

Ash turned to see the other trainers running over to him. Ash also noticed that Chimchar and Houndoom were also unaffected by the machine.

"What's going on?"
"How come none of our pokemon are being affected?" Dawn questioned

"Confused?" Jessie asked, "James tell her why?"

Meowth looked over to Jessie, "Who died and made you boss?" Meowth shivered as he saw a glint in Jessie's eyes. James sweatdropped as he watched the female of the team attack the scratch pokemon. James turned his attention back to the group, "You see, twerps, this machine is designed to capture wild pokemon specifically!"

"Wild pokemon?" Paul wondered


The two-captured pokemon landed in an empty part of the machine. Gallade runs over to Gardevoir to make sure she's alright, "Are you unharmed, my love?" "Yes, I'm fine" "That's good!"

The blade pokemon held Gardevoir close in an embrace.

"I've missed you so much!"
"And I you"
"These humans will pay!"

Gallade charges one of his blades with psychic energy.

"Gallade, wait! Not all humans are frightful!"
Gallade gave her a soft glare
"Have you forgotten what they did to us?"
"No but…that was just one human!"

Gallade turns away and glares at the wall he intended to strike.

"That's true but how will I trust a human again?"
"We can travel with a trainer?"
"Travel? You be their slave!"
"My love, you've let anger cloud your judgment! Did you not sense the bond between the boy and his Pikachu?"

Gallade sits down on the floor, canceling his attack, "Sense? Love, you know my psychic abilities aren't as sharp as our evolutionary partners. Besides I don't really like that boy"

"Why?"
"To spunky!"

Gardevoir giggled then a thought came to her mind as she sat beside him, "Why don't we travel with the girl and purple headed boy?"

"Those two?"
"Yes"
Gardevoir nodded her head, "When we first met I sensed their bond is as strong as ours."
"…Fine, but I want to see if this boy is worthy"
Gallade stood up, "First we must escape from this device!"

Gallade dashed towards a wall with Psycho Cut, easily breaking through the barrier.


"Why don't you twerps just give up!" a badly bruised Meowth exclaimed

Paul raised an eyebrow, "Who're the losers?"

"Losers!" Team Rocket yelled, flames were now in their eyes while they clinched their fists, "We're not losers! We've captured to pokemon without any problems!"

Paul smirked, "Oh really?"

Suddenly the stomach section of the robot exploded and out came Gallade while holding Gardevoir bridal style in his arms. The blade pokemon lands gracefully in front of the young trainers.

"Oh oh!" Meowth said

Gallade gave a smirk and charges at Team Rocket with Focus Punch.

"We're blasting off again!" the trio shouted as the machine exploded and forced them out of the area.

After the trio disappeared Gardevoir and Gallade turned to Dawn and Paul. Gardevoir walks towards Dawn, "If it's not to much trouble, may I accompany you on this journey?"

The question caught Dawn of guard but she smiled, "Of course!" Dawn pulled out an empty pokeball and shows it to Gardevoir. The embrace pokemon places her hands in Dawn's palms so that the pokeball was in between their hands. As soon as Gardevoir touches the pokeball it opens, enveloped her with a red beam, and pulls her into the red and white orb. Paul looks over to Gallade, "I suppose you want to come along too?" "Of course! I won't leave Gardevoir's side again! But that doesn't mean I won't come without a fight!" Gallade answered as he created some distance between himself and the trainer then got into a fighting stance.

Paul smirks, "Thought so. Chimchar!"

The primate pokemon jumped in front of Paul, "Chimchar Chim!" His flame like tail went ablaze.

"You have the honor, sir"
"Chimchar, Flame Wheel!"
"Chimchar!"

Chimchar enclosed himself with his own flames and charges at the blade pokemon. Gallade answered with Psycho Cut. Gallade pushed Chimchar back, cancelling out the fire pokemon's attack.

"My turn!"

Both of Gallade's fists went aglow.

"He's using Focus Punch" Brock informed as he watched Chimchar dodging each punch. Dawn and himself were watching the match from a rock they sat on. Gardevoir was out of her pokeball and was sitting beside Dawn while Houndoom sat protectively next to his trainer's feet.

"Huh?" Brock turns to see Ash and Pikachu sulking in the corner
"What's wrong with them?" Dawn asked as she held back a sweatdrop.
"He probably doesn't like the fact that Gallade choose Paul and not him"
"Oh"

Brock then realized that Paul was to busy with the battle to notice if he made a move on Dawn. Brock gave a grin and walks over to Dawn; he would've started flirting if it wasn't for Houndoom's growling.

"Maybe I should I just keep my hands to myself with this girl!"

"Flamethrower!"
"Aaahhh!"

While in the flames Gallade was immobilized, Paul saw his chance and threw a pokeball. The pokeball shook for a few minutes until finally it stopped and gave off a sound to show the pokemon was captured. Chimchar starts jumping up and down happily as Paul picks up the pokeball and released Gallade from its pokeball. Once Gallade was materialized, he was seen on his knees in front of Paul, "You've best me…Master Paul" Paul simply gave the pokemon a nod.

Gardevoir smiles and hugs Gallade, "This is a step in the right direction for us, love" Gardevoir smiles and looks to Paul and extends her hand. Paul shook her hand and as soon as their hands touch the embrace pokemon's eyes glowed blue. Dawn saw this, "What's wrong Gardevoir?"

Gallade sprang forward and catches Gardevoir as she fell back. Gallade smiles softly as he noticed the familiar look, "Don't worry, she's having a vision"

"Vision?" Dawn asked
"What do you see, love?" Gallade asked

"The trio of the lakes and the dragon trio they're surrounded by pillars. The lake trio seems to be full of fear…The dragon trio seems to be enraged… A man with blue hair…his eyes are so cold… he seems to be fighting someone…I don't know who…it's to blurry… In his hand…the blue haired is holding…a red chain…and…that's…The Original One!"

The glow in Gardevoir's eyes vanished as the vision ended.

"What does it mean?" Dawn asked as she looked to the group.
