Twenty-Fourth PSI

[a_gentle_boy]

U-Um.  Sorry about all the weird stuff I did this weekend.  I don't think I actually hurt anyone, but . . . I think I said a lot of rude things.  The, um.  Psychic PSIclone is setting down his cape.  Permanently.  And if I did hurt you, let me know and I'll make it up to you.

I'd like to make a request of you all.  It's a little strange, but.  It would help me a lot.  I'm asking for someone -- or several . . . ones -- to attack me.  The more powerful you are, the better.  And . . . you can use PSI or magic or anything else you know how to use, too.  . . . Maybe even a gun.

Thanks.  Just come by my house if you want to try.  I don't have anything else to do today.

Um.

[No, Lucas doesn't. Although this might be surprising after this announcement.]

I don't know. It's kind of like saying dog-fighting is a sport . . .

[bestwishes]

... Well, I guess dogs can fight too if they like?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I-I'd rather they not.

[bestwishes]

Yeah, they'd probably hurt themselves... They don't know how to handle themselves the way Pokémon do.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . I think my dog can handle himself pretty well.

[bestwishes]

Your dog fights in dog-fights?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

He . . . fights in . . . human fights?

[bestwishes]

Oh. ... Why does he do that?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Well. It's usually chimera, but sometimes it's soldiers.

[bestwishes]

Chimera? ... What's that?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . . . Just call them monsters.

[bestwishes]

Monsters, huh? Is it safe for a dog to fight something like that?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

No.

[bestwishes]

Maybe he shouldn't be doing it then...

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

There wasn't much of a choice.

[bestwishes]

I see...

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Anyway . . . I guess it's different where you're from, so I shouldn't really say anything.

[bestwishes]

Yeah... Sounds pretty different...

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . .

[Well that was kind of an awkward conversation.]

Did I ever introduce myself? My real name is, um. Lucas.

[bestwishes]

Oh, uh... right. Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. Nice to mee'cha, Lucas.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, too. I'm from . . .

[Well no one lived in Tazmily now.]

The Nowhere Islands.

[bestwishes]

The Nowhere Islands? ... That's an odd name.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

N-No, it's not. We were in the middle of the ocean away from anything else. It's sensible.

[bestwishes]

Well, if you say so, I guess...

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[sob he loved his islands stop insulting them.]

A-And the town I'm from is called Tazmily.

[even if no one lives there anymore.]
