(Chapter 2! By the way, if you guys were wondering, while Lucas has the abilities he has in Super Smash Bros, the PSI will work like in the Mother series)
Lucas was walking towards a large building that was decked out with technology. He remembered what Jack had done when he didn't know what a Pokémon was as he headed towards the building known as a lab.
Jack first exclaimed in surprise and ranted on how Lucas could possibly not know what a Pokémon was. Then, Jack brought out something he called a Pokéball and when he threw it, a large gray bird appeared before them. He called it a Staraptor and that it was a type of Pokémon. Realizing the bird was the one that saved him, Lucas thanked the Staraptor and Jack did something called 'returning' the Pokémon back into it's ball. After that, Jack sent him out to someone called Professor Rowan and he showed him the directions. Once they had traded goodbyes, Lucas went on the path to the lab and we come back to the present. Lucas found that he was getting close to the lab now and so he went inside and called out.
"Hello? Professor Rowan?"
Lucas entered the lab and found that it was quite clean and the floor below him clacked when his sneakers tapped them. It was sort of like the Chimera Labs but with a much nicer atmosphere and some levels smaller. Lucas turned to face a corridor when he heard someone walking towards him. The corridor held an old man with white hair and a thick mustache. His eyes looked mean but he had a caring feeling to him. Lucas assumed that the man was the person he was looking for.
"Hello there. Are you a new trainer perhaps? I'm Professor Rowan, a Pokémon researcher." The man greeted.
"Actually, I was sent here because I don't know what this place is and what Pokémon are. The guy who sent me said you could probably help." Lucas replied.
"Oh my, no knowledge of Pokémon? Could you be amnesic?"
"No." Lucas confirmed.
"Well, that is puzzling. However, it is never too late to learn the wonders of Pokémon. But first, you said you didn't know what this place is? Where did you come from because right now, you are in the Sinnoh region and are in Sandgem Town." Prof. Rowan informed.
"I come from Tazmily Village in the Nowhere Islands." Lucas said.
Professor Rowan gained a doubtful expression.
"Are you sure you aren't remembering things properly because out of all the discovered regions in the world, the Nowhere Islands isn't one of them. What's your name? How did you get here?" Prof. Rowan scrutinized.
"My name is Lucas and, uh, I think I teleported here but I didn't enter through my own portal. A big pink and white creature interrupted my teleportation and I fell through it's portal instead of mine. Probably." Lucas said while rubbing his head at the confusing concept of teleportation.
Professor Rowan however, widened his eyes at what Lucas had just said. His brow raised when he was told Lucas teleported but then hearing him describe his encounter with the creature that was seemingly the God of Space itself? He was utterly baffled. Prof. Rowan quickly composed himself and gathered his thoughts.
"Say, Lucas, you told me you teleported and travelled through a rift in space but the creature you spoke of appeared and you travelled through it's portal instead, yes? Are you sure you didn't have any assistance from a Pokémon?"
"Yes. I learned how to teleport recently and like I said, I don't know what exactly a Pokémon is." Lucas repeated.
"You learned how to teleport?" Prof. Rowan said skeptically.
"Yeah. Do you know what PSI is?" Lucas asked.
"PSI? Do you mean psionic powers? As in, you can use psychic abilities?"
"Yes, exactly."
"Are you able to show me?" Prof. Rowan asked, still not quite believing the child before him was able to teleport. He knew that there were psychics out there but no human he knew of would be able to achieve teleportation. Only Pokémon could be able to do that, right?
"Um, I think I can only teleport to places I've been already but I can show you other PSI?" Lucas offered.
"Well, if that's the case, show me your PSI. And you said that your home was this 'Tazmily Village' so after your demonstration, why don't you try to, eh, teleport home?"
"That's a good idea. Alright, hold on, let me think of which PSI to show you... Is there anyone injured here?" Lucas questioned.
"Hmm, none here but you can find plenty at the Pokémon Centre. I can lead you there if you don't know where it is." Prof. Rowan suggested.
"Thanks Professor Rowan! Let's go."
Nodding, Prof. Rowan headed towards the exit and Lucas followed suit. Once the pair left the lab, no further discussion happened as they headed towards the Pokémon Centre. Judging from the name, Lucas guessed it housed hurt Pokémon and he wondered what other kinds of Pokémon there were other than Staraptor. Suppose he could only wait until they get there.
A short while passed and the signature red roof of the Pokémon Centre rose above the horizon. The glass doors opened as it detected Lucas and Prof. Rowan approaching. Walking into the lobby, Lucas trailed after Prof. Rowan as he was reminded of the Chimera Labs' doors. It seems everything here is as advanced as the Pigmasks, maybe even more so? Lucas stopped walking once he noticed he almost bumped into Prof. Rowan as he was talking to a nurse sitting behind a desk.
"Yes, the injured ones are resting in their beds. May I ask why you are looking for hurt Pokémon Professor Rowan?" The nurse asked.
"Me and this boy here are going to have a small visit, that's all." The professor replied.
"Well ok then. Let me show you where it is." The nurse said before walking down a hall but only after asking her Chansey to take over.
"Chansey!" (Okay!) The pink Pokémon accepted.
Down the hall, the nurse turned to a door and opened it, revealing the rows of beds that held resting Pokémon. She opted to wait by the door while Prof. Rowan went in with Lucas.
"The ones near us are just resting off their injuries but the ones at the back are still very weak from severe injuries." The nurse explained.
"What happened to them?" Lucas asked, concerned.
"Battles gone wrong, accidents, many reasons why they are here. It's a good thing their trainers were able to get to a centre in time, otherwise they wouldn't make it unless they got to someone else who has medical experience." The nurse solemnly said.
Trainers? Lucas thought but decided he'll ask later.
"So Lucas, you were going to show me proof of your PSI, yes?" Prof. Rowan questioned.
"Oh, right." Lucas said.
He walked into the center of the room and focused, slightly nervous as he had only healed four people (including himself) before at a time. Gathering his strength, Lucas announced his move.
"Lifeup Omega."
Lucas heard the familiar noise that healing PSI made and looked around the room, hoping it worked. For a few seconds, nothing happened and he got a bit anxious until some Pokémon near the front of the room begin to shuffle awake. Lucas sighed in relief as Prof. Rowan nodded approvingly while the nurse let out a small gasp.
Slowly, all of the Pokémon in the front have at least woken up and some were testing out their bodies, walking around and jumping. Some of the Pokémon were confused at their newfound health but they all turned to the blonde haired boy in the center of the room as he spoke up once again, a bit more confident this time.
"Lifeup Omega!" Lucas said, smiling at the Pokémon that sensed that he was the one healing them.
Word got around amongst the Pokémon and soon, all the conscious Pokémon began watching Lucas as the rest started to wake up as well. Eventually, all the Pokémon in the room were awake and shocked at their condition, only a few still sitting in their beds. Then it began.
"Shinx, Shin!" (Thank you!) A small, blue and black Pokémon said sincerely.
After that first thanks, several more cries rang out. Lucas heard their thanks firsthand as he was always able to understand animals while Prof. Rowan and the nurse only heard the Pokèmon give appreciative cries. Soon, Lucas got swarmed and Prof. Rowan simply chuckled at the display.
I believe you now Lucas. Prof. Rowan thought as his small smile was hidden by his mustache.
Later...
"Thank you again Lucas, your power was able to rapidly or even fully heal our patients and I'm sure their trainers will be ecstatic." The nurse bowed in thanks.
Lucas smiled again and he waved goodbye to the nurse, her name being known as Nurse Joy. Walking off with Prof. Rowan away from the Pokémon Centre, Lucas felt tired from his PSI usage but refreshed by all the positive feelings flowing through him. Prof. Rowan and him continued their way until they reached the lab again. Before entering, Prof. Rowan turned to Lucas.
"Well Lucas, since your PSI abilities are very much real, I assume you are wanting to return home now?"
"Yeah, thanks for everything." Lucas said.
"Oh! I just realized that I never did really explain what Pokémon are to you, did I?" Prof. Rowan found.
"Oh yeah... I guess you can tell me before I leave." Lucas suggested.
"Very well. Ahem. Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokémon..."
(Lucas and his PSI powers have finally been revealed to the world of Pokémon! How will others react?)
