Disclaimer: Do not trust anyone that says they can read your future. Especially when you meat them in a dark alleyway in a large city. Unless they look like the guy down there.

I awoke to a bright sun and two voices. The sun hurt my eyes, but I still opened them to see where I was. The first thing I noticed about the room was that the walls were painted white and red. A Pokemon Center.

"Hey, Andrew." I heard James say. I felt the floor bounce, and released that I was lying on a bed. "How are you?"

I rolled on my side to face him. Then I heard Alex say something from behind him. "You did a good job stopping that freak. If it wasn't for you, we'd probably be dead."

I nodded, and felt the bed move again. I looked in the direction of the movement and saw Mel come over to me. "Hey." She said.

"Hey." I said back. That was one of the best conversations I had in my life so far. So much for my life so far.

"Well, let's get out of here. I want to get to Petalburg before tomorrow" Alex said to James. He looked at her like what she was saying was impossible, which, in this case, it was.

"You realize that it takes three days just to get to the farms outside Petalburg? Then another day to get into the city?"

Alex didn't reply. Instead she picked up Melody, who was still beside me, and went out the door. James looked over at me, and I at him. Finally I conceded defeat. "I'm coming."

Oldale city. Don't let it's name fool you; the ale they serve here is about as old as a newborn kitten. Sorry about my crappy joke, but the heat of Hoenn affects your brain, no matter who, or what, you are.

Alex was leading our small procession past all of the bars and beer distributors to wherever it was that she wanted to go. Soon enough, she started to run. We had to use up most of our energy trying to keep up with her.

She turned down an alleyway, and we followed suit. But, she suddenly stopped, and James crashed into her. I tried jumping over the pileup, but only succeeded in jumping into the arms of a stranger.

I looked up at the stranger, and saw, not a human, but a cloaked Kadabra holding me. The two trainers got up, and also looked at the Kadabra. It nodded, and I heard a voice inside my head. Very good, then. Follow me.

Alex jumped a little, but James looked slightly dazed. I, of course, was trying to figure out why there was a cloak-wearing Kadabra in the backstreets and alleyways of Oldale.

All will be revealed soon, young Cyndaquil. I tried to ponder this, but didn't want the Pokemon to continue to read my thoughts, so I made my mind go blank. It started to walk, and both the trainers followed.

It led us down a couple more alleys before stopping at a door with large words on it. Most of them were unreadable, but I didn't get a chance to see what the ones that were said before the Kadabra opened the door and took us in.

As I was carried in, I noticed a scent. It smelled like lavender, and I started to nod my head. Sorry, boy, but I need you to sleep. I heard the Kadabra say to me in mindspeech (as I dub the term).

There was another voice, this one fainter. Let the scent carry you off. You need your rest, after all. I suddenly went limp, and became unaware of any of my surroundings.

Except for, of course, the fact that I was now floating above my body and could see that I was on a small table, sitting right in front of James. I realized that I was floating solely one the fact that I had already experienced the feeling a few times now.

"What do you do to my Cyndaquil?" James asked the Kadabra. The Pokemon did not respond, but stared at Alex. She seemed to try to squeeze back into her chair as the gaze bore into her.

After what seemed like minutes, the Kadabra answered James' question. Nothing. The smell just put him to sleep. Apparently he didn't notice me floating right above myself, for he might have mentioned it. Now tell me, do you know what is going on around Hoenn?

James and Alex both shook their heads, and the Kadabra tried to sigh. Only problem is, he sighed in mindspeech. I'll tell you. A deck of about fifteen cards floated over to the table. Each had a different marking on the back of them. Do you know what these are?

"Um… Tarot cards?" James said. The Kadabra nodded, and James shook his head. "Why are you showing us Tarot cards?"

These will tell your future. They do not lie. Apparently he was going to skip over James' question like he didn't ask it. Which made this entire thing twice as creepy. But, you must want your future for them to be effective. He gestured to Alex, and continued. She wants her future told.

James and I were both completely dumbfounded. This made about as much sense as the fifth Spiderman movie made money in the box-office. Trust me on this; it made no sense.

The Kadabra laid down the cards, and I counted them. There were fifteen cards facedown on the table. Pick one each. He said.

Yes, a Kadabra that wanted to kidnap them just so he could tell them their futures. That's about on par with my usual level of Craziness. Or maybe it's the disembodied Cyndaquil just floating in front of me. I dunno. I think I need something to help me.

Grammar? Spelling? Any mistakes?
