"Yeah, what's to eat?" "Looks like mixed berries… munch, munch." Astral sits down and starts to eat, after finishing his meal he starts to wander the halls, then it starts to get colder… "What's with the cold all of a sudden?" "Sorry that's me… comes with the whole ice pokémon package." Astral looks over to see a glaceon, he thinks wow cuteness alert! "Hi, I'm Crystal, sorry about the cold." "Uh, that's okay it's quite refreshing to tell you the truth."

Thinking, so shiny… in more than one way. "I'm looking for Midnight, have you seen him?" "Yup, he's in the dining hall." Astral thinks; and all of my dreams have been crushed… of course she has a boyfriend, dang it! His heart drops, "Want me to take you to him?" "Yes, thank you." "Follow me, so how do you know Midnight?" "He's my cousin; I swear I take my eyes off him for one minute." Astral's heart rises.

"Well he was doing something important, I can tell you that." "You can see the similarities between us, we are both shiny… there you are… geez why did you wonder off?" "Got hungry… wanted a snack." "Your impossible… hey everyone I found him." The rest of the eeveelutions came running in. "Whoa!" "Yeah, big family." "I'd say." "Midnight my sweet! Don't scare me like that!" "Come on Melinda, I needed food."

Crystal muttered… "Love birds." Astral laughs out loud then suddenly goes quiet. "Anyways… what's your name?" "Astral." "Well Astral, meet my family, Sonia, the eevee, is my mom, Volt, the jolteon, is my step dad. My sister, Aqua, the vaporeon, her husband, Bentley, the leafeon. Aithnea, the flareon, my other sister, my cousin Midnight, his wife Melinda, the espeon." "Hi everyone, nice to meet you." "Wait we are missing one."

"Where is Scarlet?" "I don't know. Today is a big surprise, I'll go look for her if you like." Astral thinks; process of elimination… I'm guessing it's a sylveon. "So, I'd be looking for a sylveon?" "Yep, my other cousin." "Okay, I'll be back." "I'm here… sorry I got lost… this place is huge." "Never mind." "Okay run down, eevee, vaporeon, jolteon, flareon, espeon, umbreon, leafeon, me glaceon, and sylveon. Okay that's nine, everyone is here."

"Astral, I see you meet the eeveelution family." "Yep." Thinking specially about Crystal. "Come we are ready to go." "Okay, uh sorry where to? I have a bad memory." "It's fine; it's time to take on team psyche." "Okay, let's go!" "Good luck Astral… I'll miss you." Astral blushes deeply. "I think Crystal's got a crush." "I heard that!" She said blushing. "Astral, before we take on team psyche… there is something I wish to give to you."

"Okay, what is it?" "This…" He shows the absolite on a necklace. "Really? Thank you; I don't know what to say." "Yes really, your part of team mega now… this rescue team badge is for you… if you are in any trouble, use it." "Okay, thanks." Takes and puts on the necklace. "Wow, this is cool!" "There we go… I put the badge on the necklace for you… now let's be off!" "Okay, bye everyone." Pauses by Crystal and whispers, "I like you."

Earning a blush from her. "Let's go team mega!" "I told you… we are retired! Stop with the team mega already!" "When pokémon are in need, pokémon rescue teams can never be retired!" "Argg… there's no arguing with you." "Alida whispers to Astral, "This happens a lot get used to it." "I'll just roll with it." "And I say we should use our team name." "And I say we are retired." "I think we should use it." Whisper again, "Don't mind them."

"Here we are… and there they are… okay remember the plan… Astral stay here till I call okay?" "Okay got it." "Okay… everyone else follow my lead." "Hey there you must be team psyche we heard about." "Well hello, not many pokémon know about our team." "Well we do… I'm Aaron the leader of team mega." "My name is Sophia, leader of team psyche." "We were wondering if you like to have a friendly team battle?"

"Give us a minute will you?" "Sure take all the time you need… pst Astral, can you sneak close enough to listen in on their conversation?" "Okay, sure." "And be quite about it… try not thinking of anything." "I'll try." Sneaking close. "So what do you think sister?" "I'm not sure… he seems to be oblivious to what we did." "What are they thinking?" "Hold on, I'll see." Astral stops hoping they didn't find out what team mega is planning early on.

'Nice day out, good day to stretch my wings.' "Nothing important with the pidgeot." 'I hope I charged enough today.' "Or with the ampharos." 'My fire can burn them out… but so can my other moves.' "Or with the houndoom." 'I wonder what's for dinner. I hope it's something good.' "Or with the lucario… they are just thinking about trivial things." Astral snorted a bit knowing that was part of the plan. "Any other minds around?"

"Or is it just those four?" "I'll see sisters, I bet that team is hiding more than they are letting on… there is always a weak link in the chain." "Hmm… there seems to be only those four… nothing else." "You know it's not nice to read our minds without our permission right?" "Whatever do you mean Aaron?" "Please cut the act I can since you reading our minds." "Humph… I was just checking to see if you were hiding anything…"

"The only thing I'm hiding right now is my anger… try to read our minds again and you will find them blocked off!" "Your thoughts were boring anyways." "So, battle?" "Yes… meet us at the battle arena… see you there." "Look forward to it… they are gone… you can come out now Astral." Astral comes out of his hiding spot… looking at their faces, they all seemed mad. "Sorry." "The next time he tells you to not think about anything you do it."

"If it wasn't for Aaron they would have found you." "It was kind of hard thinking of nothing." "You are such a rookie… I don't know why we need to bring him along." "Thora, that's not nice!" "I'm just saying what we are all thinking." "Stop it all of you… Astral needs to come." Astral looks down and says, "Wish I didn't need to." "No my son… you have to come… the last psyche lock won't unlock unless you defeat Sophia."

"Okay, thank you." "There is one thing I have been wondering Aaron…" "Yes, Alida?" "What was with that family of eeveelutions at the training ground?" "Someone has to watch over the place while I'm gone…" "But, why them?" "They were the only ones available at that moment. Good enough for you?" Mumble… "We are here… not many hiding places though." Astral looks around. "It's an open battle arena… nothing but an open battle arena, and bleachers."

"So, what's next?" "You can't hide anywhere… but you also can't stay out in the open either." "What can we do then?" "Astral son… I need you to disappear." "You want me to run away?" "No, I mean you need to vanish." "How?" "You have to use your aura to create an invisible shield around yourself." "He can't do that… he's just a beginner. That kind of move is a novice move; he can't pull it off at his skill."

"His true power is being locked by those psyche locks… he could do it… he just needs to have some of them broken off." "So how is he going to hide till then?" "I will do it till he can do it himself… Astral I want you to listen to me son." Astral walked closer to Aaron. "You have to stick close by me at all times… when my team defeats one of the sisters, I want you to tell me if you feel any different, do you understand?"

"Got it dad." "Good, no this might feel a bit funny… but it will work… there, now can you see him?" "Nope… totally invisible… but I don't know how you're going to stop the sisters from sensing him." "My power is stronger than theirs… I'll mange." "I believe in you, I will stay as close as I can." "Let us go… Sophia, nice battle arena you picked… it's so open." "Aaron… we thought that it will be best to have a nice open battle arena."
