Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Visions

When Xander and Tamamo returned to the campsite, they saw Cynthia and Fenris taking a nap while everyone except for Feebas was on guard. The little Pokemon could do little outside of water until it evolved into its next form.

"Hey guys," Xander greeted them while leaning on Tamamo. The mental exhaustion from awakening his psychic abilities was catching up to him so he could barely stand on his own. 

Tamamo brought Xander next to Cynthia and helped him lay down before curling up next to him and covering the pair with her tails.

'Rest well, Xander. We will guard you,' Tamamo promised Xander.

"Thanks, Tamamo," Xander replied as he yawned before drifting off to sleep.

Once Xander was asleep, he felt something entering his mind. A large number of sounds and images began flashing through his mind.

A snowy mountain top and the sound of a bird screeching that pierced one's ears.

A field of flowers with a large flower bud in the middle of it. The sound of wind passing through the flowers created its own little melody while there was also the sound of feet stepping through mud.

A dark room with several flashes of lightning appearing all over. The little light that the lightning provided showed various appliances such as an microwave and fan. A devious laughter could be heard.

A small egg, jumping from a tree before growing wings and landing in a blonde girl's arms. There was some light laughter coming from the the egg.

Two towers standing opposite of one another, one on the beach and the other on a hill. The sound of a fist striking a board could be heard.

The visions kept repeating, going through each one over and over.

Xander sat up suddenly and gasped, his entire body drenched in sweat. The Pokemon looked at Xander with worry.

'Xander?' Tamamo asked

"No need to worry," Xander stroked her neck to let her know he was alright. "Forgot that clairvoyance was a thing that psychics could do."

'Were those the Pokemon we are supposed to catch?' Xander asked himself, guessing that this was the only thing the vision could mean.

'The flower field should be Cynthia's Roserade while the egg should be her Togekiss. Does one of us get a Rotom? That might replace her Spiritomb or it may be for me. Either way, that room should be in Eterna City if I remember correctly,' Xander had a pretty good guess on three of them but the other two were a mystery to him.

There were plenty of bird Pokemon that could be on a mountain. It could be anything from a Pidgey to an Articuno. The two towers were even more confusing. The last thing that Xander remembered was some stuff from Legends: Arceus but his memory was foggy when it came to Gen 8 and 9.

'Guess I'll have to ask Grandma Carolina when we get to Sunyshore. She's the most knowledgeable person I know afterall,' Xander made sure to note down all the important details.

Xander took some time to gather himself before getting up and heading to a nearby pond with Mothra and Tamamo in tow. Xander went into the pond and washed himself off before getting dressed in the new black clothes he had bought for himself.

Once he was done getting dressed, Xander returned to the camp to see Cynthia with a Pidgey's nest having replaced her hair.

"Not. A. Word," Cynthia spat out each word, silently daring Xander to day something about her hair.

Xander held in his laugh and walked over to the girl to help her brush her hair and get that mess under control. Once they were done, Xander decided to tell her about his new abilities.

"Guess what happened when you decided to take a nap," Xander teased her with the biggest smirk on his face.

"What? You finally found a Psychic Pokemon?" Cynthia asked, assuming that was the only thing that could make him so happy.

"That's part of it," Xander told her before pulling out his Moon Ball and summong Ralts in front of her.

Cynthia let out a small screech when she saw the cute Pokemon in front of her. She reached down to hug it but Ralts dodged her hand and hid behind Xander, hugging his pants.

"Haha don't scare her," Xander warned Cynthia before picking up Ralts in his arms. "This little cutie is not only my 4th partner and Tamamo's Psychic tutor, she also helped me awaken my latent psychic powers."

"No way!" Cynthia gasped, feeling incredibly jealous of Xander at the moment.

Psychics were incredibly powerful. Not only could they communicate with their Pokemon telepathically, they could also teleport and use telekinesis. The strongest of them could even see into the future or past or do things that could be comparable to the moves that Pokemon used.

"Yes way," Xander felt even happier when he saw the look on her face. She had been floating about being able to use Aura since she found out so it was nice to get some revenge.

"I also had a vision. I saw where we would get our remaining 5 Pokemon," Xander informed her. "We'll need to ask Grandma Carolina for more information about the locations but I have a good idea of where you'll find your next Pokemon."

"Where's that?" Cynthia asked

"The Great Marsh. I saw their famous field of flowers and a large flower bud in the middle of it," Xander told her upfront what his guess was. He had caught several Budew there in his past life, trying to find one with the best Character and Nature.

"Then what are we waiting for!?!?" Cynthia rushed to pick up their camping supplies. "Let's head to Sunyshore City and get our badges already so I can get my new Pokemon."

Xander laughed and began to help her pack up the supplies, also eager to see how his visions would unfold.
