CHAPTER 6

Parasecter One held Skipper up so they were at eye-level.

˂You know it's pointless to fight,˃ Parasecter One sneered. ˂In the end, you and all your weak race will die.˃

˂No! We'll fight,˃ Skipper cried. ˂We'll fight and fight to the end.˃

˂The end?˃ Parasecter One laughed. ˂Yes, and it will be your end! And once you're gone, we'll enslave every Pokémon and kill every human.˃

Suddenly, Skipper got a determined look on his face.

˂You won't live to see it, scum!˃ he cried.

VREEE!

A weird kind of beam shot from Skipper's head. Only it wasn't really a beam. You couldn't really see it. It just looked like some kind of... distortion.

Parasecter One looked shocked, but then got an equally determined look in his eyes.

VREEE!

Another beam/wave/distortion-thingy shot from Parasecter One's head.

I suddenly realized: they were trying to use psychic attacks on each other!

The two waves collided. A brilliant light shone from the collision.

But Skipper wasn't stopping his attack. And neither was Parasecter One.

Who would win this struggle of power?

The two waves were still colliding. A brilliant light still shone from the collision point.

˂Wow,˃ Bounce whispered. ˂That's the Psychic attack! I've always wanted to know how to do that. Come on, Dad!˃

˂Go Daddy!˃ Blitz whispered.

But they were thought-speaking so only we could hear. They knew better than to distract their dad now.

The light was horrifyingly bright now.

Then we realized Skipper had a weakness Parasecter One didn't have.

Us.

He glanced ever so quickly at our hiding place.

˂Take good care of my children, humans...˃ he said to us.

His concentration had wavered.

I don't know if he meant to do that, or if it was just accidental.

But his concentration had wavered, and moments later, Parasecter One's attack hit home.

˂AAAAARGH!˃ Skipper screamed.

I saw him writhing with pain, trying to escape.

But there was no escaping Parasecter One.

I closed my eyes. I couldn't bare to watch anymore.

I heard Blitz and Bounce crying quietly. I heard Lisa whispering, "No, no, no..."

When I dared to look again, Skipper was lying on the ground.

He was very still.

I just gaped, open-mouthed.

Boris was doing the same.

Lisa was still whispering, "No, no, no..."

Michael had turned away, and was looking sick.

Blitz and Bounce were still crying quietly.

Parasecter One laughed. ˂And the Weederpies grow stronger! We will crush the Mews! And then, when the Mews are all dead, we shall attack the humans!˃

He laughed again.

The Scythers made strange roaring sounds.

The Pinsirs let out weird clicks.

And then, I fainted.

But Skipper was my Elfangor, so this had to happen.
