This choice: Woke Up When I touched it • Go Back... By the time I recognized what she was, she had already woken up. Her big red eyes gazed into me with determination as if not bothered at all by the pain of whoever harmed her. Immediately afterwards, I felt some hostile vibes emitting from her... giving me the suspicion that I probably shouldnt have gotten so close to her!
"Garrr..."
The Gardevoir suddenly grabbed my arm and squeezed it! Just as I wondered what she was up to, my arm began to tingle and shake! Every finger and thumb on that hand was twitching on reflex of their nerves reacting somehow! I wasnt even moving them on my own!
In mere seconds the strange tingles and twitches spread throughout the rest of my body, making me totally lose control of everything below my neck! For a moment, I felt like a marionette with Gardevoir tugging on my strings, making me a do a little dance! Worst moment in the world to remember she's a high-level psychic pokemon! A WILD high-level psychic pokemon!
"Gar de.... voir!"
Even as she let go of my arm, I still couldnt move! I felt some sort of surge of power keeping me frozen stiff! No matter how much I tried, how much my brain tried to tell the rest of my body to move, it wouldnt!
"Hmph," the pokemon merely dusted herself off and circled around me, still gazing into me with intrigue!
Judging by the way she twirled around me effortlessly, she didnt seem wounded! She wasnt hurt at all! I noticed a grin across Gardevoir's mouth as I heard the word 'IDIOT' echo in my head! Damn it, I've been set up!
I couldnt believe I let myself fall victim to such an obvious trap! A professional trainer like myself had just made a Grade A rookie mistake: underestimating an unfamiliar wild pokemon without my partner on standby!
"Arr....let me go!" I demanded, which looking back wasnt a good idea! A high-leveled psychic pokemon could leave quite some nasty mental harm to it's victim. Worst case scenario, they could cause some serious brain damage!
"Gaar.... gar de," I heard her mock me in her own language while I kept hearing 'IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT' repeat over and over in my mind. "Gard! Gar gar garde! Voir de!" With no other options, I was forced to just stand there in silence and accept her mercy.
"Ga?!" just then, her eyes lowered down to my waist. Sweat dropped down my forehead as that intrigued gaze of hers locked on my belt! She snatched my pokeball holster right off and glared back up at me... like I just made a non-verbal offense. For a wild pokemon, it was a GREAT offense!
"Gardevoir? ....Gardevoir?! GAR-DE-VOIR?!!" she raised her voice angrily at me in her little outrage. Although I couldnt understand her pokemonish language, I knew exactly what she saying.
"Yeah, that's right," I answered,"I'm a pokemon trainer. I capture pokemon."
"Gar-de?!! Gar-de-VOIR!!" she smacked me hard in the chest with my own holster! Thankfully, her psychic spell she put on my body numbed the pain, but it probably left behind a bad rash! She still didnt cool down yet.
Gardevoir chanted something, causing my pokeball holster to glow a darkish aura. Whatever she was about to do wasnt gonna end well form my pokeballs.
"Gaaaaaaaarrr..." my eyes widened when she tossed the glowing holster up in the air...
"What do you think youre-"
"...VOIR!!"
My holster suddenly exploded! All my pokeballs were sent flying all across the forest! The little poke-bitch! I spent a ton of money on those balls and she just scatters them all across the land! Arceus help her if one of those had my Latios in it! I wanted to vent and shout, but I knew better. I didnt want her to leave any mental scars... let alone physical ones!
"Gar?" Gardevoir looked down and noticed one of them was left behind! It mustve fell out when she holster-whipped me! I paled as she bent over and picked it up, still eyeing it with intrigue.
That's when I noticed the little blue 'L' I painted on that pokeball! My Latios pokeball!!
"Whoa hey stop! Put that down!" I pleaded, "please, put it down!"
Gardevoir looked as though she raised an eyebrow at me. Great, now I made her curious!
"Please give it back," I begged her, "I dont care about the others! Just give that one back! That's all I need!"
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarr..." once again, the damn clever psychic pokemon smirked. She knew I wanted it bad. Did she know WHY I wanted it bad?! I could never live it down if I lost my Latios! Latios was my own and only partner! I... wouldnt say he was a 'friend' or anything like that, more like a devoted teammate! He was loyal, strong, and goshdarn it he'd ALWAYS get the job done! He'd show this psychic bitch a thing or two for messing with me! But he's helpless while he's still in his boss!
"Look! Just give me back the pokeball and I'll walk away," I tried to reason with the pokemon, "you'll never see me again! I swear! HEY! STOP THAT!!" The smug little green monster actually had the gall to start juggling it in front of me! She continued to try my patience, tossing it in the air and catching it with one hand! I'd clench my fists... if I could.
"Gah," Gardevoir finally stopped juggling my pokeball. And then she turned around and walked off... with my damn Latios!!!
"COME BACK!!!" I shouted, but to no avail! The little thief disappeared into the forest with my pokeball! I couldnt believe it. All because I was worried she mightve been hurt! The only voice I heard in my head calling me an idiot was my own! How could I let myself get suckered in by such a poke-conartist?!
Not long after she was gone, the psychic hold she had on my body disappeared as well! I could move again, but it was still long before I could celebrate. Without my Latios, I wouldnt be celebrating ever again!
It was my duty to go after that little manipulative theif and get my pokemon back.
But before I was about to charge in with guns blazing like the reckless idiot that I am, I thought about the situation. What if she WANTED me to follow her?! She could just be leading me into another trap! Maybe I'd get ambushed by her friends or something! Maybe she'd be leading me toward a pack of hungry Ursarings or something equally scary!
Still, I couldnt leave Latios behind. After all those poke-battles he won me, I owed it to him to rescue him!
But just chasing after a high-level intelligent pokemon could just end up getting me more hurt.
