"I can only guess." "Come; move away back into the tree line… I don't know how much longer I can hold the time lock…" "Okay." Runs back to the trees, time started moving again when Aaron stepped beside Astral… Stellaluna screamed as they came closer. Their claws swiping at her, she let out a yell, "Flamethrower!" The flamethrower hit them both with full force. Astral saw Stellaluna but she was mega evolved and mega pissed.

Back and forth the fighting continued… Astral watched wishing he could help. Stellaluna looked like she was losing until she did something. "Rain dance!" It started to rain, and the flames all around were put out. "THUNDER!" In the rain thunder's accuracy became 100%, so the chance of it missing became very slim. The two were hit with the full force of the mega thunder… Stellaluna stood there bleeding all around.

Then she whispered, "Astral, Aaron, forgive me." Then she feinted, Astral could do nothing but stare and cry, it stopped raining as Stellaluna slowly grabbed the scarf in her mouth before passing out from blood loss. Past Aaron finally arrived, saw Stellaluna and carried her away… Astral finally looked away wishing he could have done something. "I expected to find Kimberly at the training ground when I arrived."

"But it turned out she wasn't there… she never came to return you neither… why she stole you, I'll never knew." "Why didn't you just ask her?" "I did… she said, 'I don't really know… but I felt like I had to.' It was weird." "Yeah, but now we can fill in most of the gaps." "Yes, let's rewind a bit to right here." "Kimberly, take Astral, and get out of here." "Of course." "Follow her! Come on son!" "I'm coming." They ran after her following closely and watching Kimberly.

"She's quick for a medicham…" "True enough." "Look that cabin… that's where she lives…" Astral slows down, stops and turns to Aaron, "What now?" "We watch… wait look three pokémon, are just standing there. It's a ralts, kirlia, and a gardevoir… I'm sure I've seen them before." "I might have also." Tries to remember where from… the town! But they always had a mega gardevoir with them. "Wait… dad! I saw them in town, not too long ago!"

"Really?! I wonder what they are doing here?! Wait, son look over there a mega gardevoir… it's coming this way." Astral hides from view and watches closely. "So… this is the source of the powerful energy I felt… it's nothing more than an absol." "Hey, I can hear you!" "Astral… remember they can't hear you." "Oh yeah." "What do we do now sister?" "I have to scan it and everything to make sure that this is the power source."

"And then?" "Well my dear sisters we take it of course… why else would we go through all that trouble to get Boulder and Pebble to attack the lucario… while Neiva and Neva to attack the absol… also hypnotizing this medicham to bring this absol to us." Astral slowly backs away. "All that hard work would be for nothing… so I say we grab it while we can… what's his name slave?" "Astral." "Astral… a fitting name…"

"You three trash the house, make it look like a house raid… and don't forget our slave…" Astral watches them frozen in horror and fear. "A house raid isn't a house raid unless the owner gets hurt." "What about you sister?" "I'm going to take Astral and teleport back home… you three meet me there when you're done." "Yes, sister." As the three trash the house and the mega gardevoir teleports away everything started fading into black.

Astral now confused and wondering what is to become of him next starts to drift off. "Astral… stay with me son…" Astral tries to stay awake, finding the strength to continue. "That's it I'm pulling us out…" Everything zipped by as they landed in the training room. Astral snaps back to his senses, looks at Aaron hoping he had some answers. "I'm sorry about … but the rest is locked by psyche locks." "That's okay; I don't think I could've stood anymore."

"I hate psyche locks, too hard to break… one is hard enough but four… impossible." "Don't worry we found out quite a bit at least." "Yeah… there is one giant lock, on the left side a small one, on the top a medium one, and on the right side a big one." "What could that mean? Do you have any ideas?" "Four locks… all different sizes… the biggest in the middle of the four… I think I know who put them there." "Who? Please tell me."

"I've had quite enough mysteries for today." "Psyche is another word for psychic… so they can only be placed by a psychic pokémon… the bigger the lock the stronger the pokémon." "Wait… I know who! Ralts, kirlia, and gardevoir… but who's the fourth?" "Mega gardevoir of course… there was four sisters after all. One is a mega evolved pokémon… so her power is stronger." "But why go after me? Why am I so special?"

"Your aura… they were after it… but I don't know why." "Me neither." "Hmm… the only way to break the locks is the hard way… to defeat them in battle." "Okay… I would like to sleep first… I'm really tired." "Okay but there is a catch." "What is it?" "They are psychic pokémon… even if you beat one of them all alone… the others will be warned… in other words you would have to beat them all at the same time!"

"Whoa… that might be difficult." "Yes it will… it's best to forget about them." "Why?" "Four against one… plus one a mega pokémon… they will kill you." "Maybe I could find help." "Go to bed… I'll call in some favors." "Okay goodnight." Walking to bed while thinking about the day he hit the bed fast asleep. The next day… Astral wakes up looks around then heads to the dining hall to eat, thinking that's funny normally Andrea wakes me up.

"Where is Andrea? I'll ask at the table." In the dining hall… it's empty… "Where is everyone?!" Astral looked around and called out then headed for the study… opening the door he saw it was empty… this was getting scary. "Astral there you are… I flew everywhere looking for you!" Astral turns around to see Andrea. "Hi Andrea, what's wrong?" "Aaron sent everyone home; he said that s serious problem was happening, he's in the training room."

"Thanks Andrea!" Running fast towards the training room. "So you came… I'm Midnight, an umbreon… everyone is waiting inside for you." "Okay, thank you." Walking inside, "Hello, anyone here?" "Astral glad you could make it. Meet my friends… Thora, an ampharos, Alida, a pidgeot, and Cerberus, a houndoom, and with me Aaron, we make team mega." "Uh, hi." "Hey and don't go starting that whole team mega thing again Aaron."

"We are not a rescue team anymore." "Oh this must be the rescue team that helped with the volcano." "Astral… that team is long dead. Team GoldenFire came here before my great, great, great, grandfather was born." "Oh okay sorry. Why are you all here?" "We are here because he summoned us with his rescue team badge… and to help with a psychic problem." "Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, thank you." "You're welcome."

"Now for some info… Alida you take over." "We are dealing with four psychic types… Rita, the ralts, Laila, the kirlia, Gina, the gardevoir, and Sophia, the mega gardevoir. Unlike most mega pokémon, Sophia has somehow found a way to stay mega evolved." "Weird, wonder how? But please continue." "We will take them on… Alida will take on Rita, Thora will take on Laila, Cerberus will take on Gina, and finally you and I will take on Sophia."

"Okay, when will this take place and where?" "We team mega will challenge them team psyche… we will take them on… and when all three are down… you will come in and help me finish off their leader." "Okay, got it." "Good… now we need to finish planning… you can go eat; I can hear your stomach growling from here." "Oh yeah, didn't get to eat. Well see you!" In the dining hall… "Munch, munch… oh it's you again… come to eat I guess."
