Upon entering the forest, I quickly noticed one thing: it was dark in there. It wasn’t too dark, but the canopy above was thick enough to make this place almost as dark as any average cave. Fortunately, there was some light filtering in, but it was still pretty dark. Did I mention it was dark? I think I mentioned it was dark. It was dark.

I didn’t want to create a light source; mostly because I was still pretty close to the entrance of the forest, and any sudden lighting might alert someone to the fact that there’s something suspicious going on in the forest. I also really didn’t want to aggravate any wild pokemon.

“Looks like we’ll be going without light, Rose.” I said, and Rose just continued on.

So yeah, we went on. In the dark. Are you sure I mentioned it was dark? Fortunately there was a convenient dirt road running through the forest that we could barely follow.

Rose was walking along in kind of a trance, though, sometimes going off of the road. It was kind of freaking me out.

“Are you ok, Rose? You sure you know where you’re going?” I’d ask her, but she just kept going, oblivious to anything going on around her.


Rose and I went on for a while, getting pretty deep in the forest, Rose leading the way with her big glowing horn, steadily getting darker all the time (are you sure?), when we actually ran into something interesting.

Up ahead, there was a bright light coming through a possible exit from this forest. I squinted my eyes, seeing bright light for the first time since entering the forest, while Rose carried on, her horn glowing brighter than ever. I followed her out through what I thought was an exit.

Now, for some odd reason I couldn’t understand, up until now, there was absolutely no sign of any wild pokemon. Only now, I could see why. Out in this giant clearing, with trees all around it, was a gathering of dozens of wild pokemon. In the middle of them was... an alakazam!

This alakazam had its eyes closed, its signature spoons held out. The spoons were glowing, and the crowd seemed to be staring, in a trance similar to Rose, at the spoons.

Now that I looked at it, the pokemon in the clearing were all psychic types. Pure psychic types, to be exact. I could see evolutionary lines such as the solosis line, the gothita line, elgyem, munna, even pure psychics from other regions. The only psychics I couldn’t see were those of the abra line.
Rose, still in her trance, walked to the edge of the crowd of psychics to stare at the alakazam. Other pokemon were also entering the clearing from other entrances, all of them psychics.

When it eventually seemed like the clearing was almost full, and no more pokemon were coming, the alakazam finally put his spoons down. All the pokemon in the clearing dropped out of their trances immediately, and they all looked around in confusion. I couldn’t find Rose in the crowd, but I knew she could find me when needed. I stayed back to watch the show.

Once all the psychics settled down, a telepathic voice boomed throughout the clearing.

”Greetings, my fellow psychic types!” The voice seemed to be coming from the Alakazam, of course. ”For too long, we have been the slaves of humans, even with the kindness of this ‘Team Plasma’ releasing our brethren from their slavery.”

“In other regions, however, our other brethren are still the slaves of those monstrous trainers! We must rise up, and eliminate the oppression of the trainers!”


Just then, a thought occured in my mind. “Wait, alakazam is a powerful and smart psychic type. Surely he would’ve-”

And no sooner had I thought that than I was teleported to the very center of the clearing.

I immediately tried a futile attempt at running away, but my limbs locked up as the alakazam grasped me in his telekinetic grasp, and his voice echoed throughout the clearing once more.


“As I have spoken to you, a human has dared trespass upon this hallowed forest! I will search his mind, and see what he knows about the outside world. Surely we will learn something."

Being around a while in my career as a trainer for being such a young “kid,” I had faced many psychics, and I learned I needed to set up some mental barriers. I had seeked training from a psychic master, and I had set up some much-needed mental barriers. A mere second after the words left alakazam’s mind, however, an outside force pushed its way into my mind, breaking through any barriers that had been set around my deepest thoughts as if they were nothing, and I could feel his telekinetic gaze.

“I knew it! This human is a trainer! In fact, his sole remaining pokemon is in this clearing at this very moment!”

Suddenly, Rose appeared at my side, also locked in Alakazam’s telekinetic grip.

"We must show them the error of their ways, and teach them a lesson! A lesson that will teach them never to oppress us AGAIN!"
The psychics around us roared in thunderous applause, and I could only wonder how we would get out of this one.

Seems like Rose picked up something bad instead of finding something good. Shame.
I had hoped to find something nice, but that just wouldn't really be fair considering I have just started out in this rpg, and I kind of want to take it slow when it comes to finding stuff. Looks like I'll have to deal with this next.
I do feel like I'm rushing a bit when it comes to writing this, but I don't know. I've never really participated in an rpg before.
In fact, this is my first one. I'd like to know what you all think.
