MM0 - Psychic-in-Training

[Reno Vantas]

Terashi would continue in his efforts to gather himself and his energy. He could feel something beginning to build. This time, it wasnt just simple mental pressure, it was actual power.

And he waited a little longer, trying to get something substantial.

And he waited.

And waited.






Waiting.

Tate would eventually speak up to Terashi, popping into the concentrating psychic's mind. "Well....its been about four hours. And you have enough power built up to power a sneeze. So what have you learned today then?"  

[Reno Vantas]

Tate gave a smirk as he heard the admission from Terashi, stretching out as his Solrock floated into position behind him. "See, this is about what I expected given your current state. You can either generate power to the degree you can't do anything with it but expel it or you can be controlled enough to gather it naturally but getting nothing really worthwhile." As he spoke, Tate would begin to march along the beach with a hand cupped under his chin. Almost seemed like he was doing a military march. Strange thing to inflect right now but it seemed effective. "But what I'm saying goes counter to what you were already told, right? Just a demand for power and control simultaneously. But that's like looking right and left at the same time even when you reach my level." Facing to the left, Tate would turn on his heel and begin to march towards Solrock, who was gazing out over the waves that laid on Terashi's right. "Hmm. What to do?"  

[Reno Vantas]

Tate would lock eyes with Terashi for a moment before blinking a few times in response. "You......missed what I just did?" The psychic said, slightly bewildered. Sighing, he would turn around and put his back to his Solrock again. "Looking right and left at the same time. Now, you need control and power, right? So who was around when you and Liza tried to explode the beach and helped mitigate your outburst whether you know it or not." Tate stated, shoulders slouched before a moment of silence made him realize something. "Oh boy, I wasn't supposed to say that. I was not supposed to say that."

Tate would look Terashi dead in the eye. Sighing in response to Terashi's attempted deduction, Tate would begin massaging his forehead before an idea popped into his head. Gesturing over to his Solrock, a small balloon would float into Tate's hand before he walked over to and smashed the water balloon on top of Terrashi's head. Taking a few steps back and admiring his work, Tate would speak again. "You are really trying. But you are way off track there. Me and sis had this whole thing planned out. Show you power, show you control, and hope you realize how to put together these two disparate ideas on your own so we wouldn't need to tell gramps we were the ones who taught you. So try again. Your second attempt, someone there was paying attention more than your first and it wasn't me. It was more controlled but because you had no clue what you were doing, you didn't succeed at a link. So who was it? Here's a hint, the balloon demonstration here should clue you in."

Tate would continue to stare towards Terashi, eye subtly twitching as he did so How...how did none of this fall into place for the man? Did he miss a memo? Was there an unexplained concept when he was told he would be channeling? Why? Taking in a deep breath, Tate finally said, "Allow me to explain simply. Channeling requires a person and a Pokemon. What you are trying to do requires two minds working together. Draw lines accordingly. Believe it."  

[Reno Vantas]

Tate would take in a deep breath before nodding at Terashi. "For a smart person, you are denser than my Solrock." He grumbled, turning towards a small outcropping nearby and giving a whistle. Out from behind the rocks would come Liza and her Lunatone, moving into position beside their counterparts. They would begin to speak, returning to their alternating dialogue style they liked to maintain when together. "Now then." "Its time to connect." "Let your Gardevoir handle one..." "And you handle the other." "Find your center." Ending the statement with them both saying the last line, they would wait in anticipation for Terashi give it a try.  

[Reno Vantas]

As the pair began to focus on their centers, they might begin to feel a slight tickle in the back of their minds, something that might just give them the sensation that someone else was interacting with their center. Soon, that feeling grew until it felt like they were both interacting with the other's center, holding it in place while they began to draw power from it. Soon enough, Terashi would begin to feel himself gaining something from the interaction. (Write your next post with Terashi putting his innate power to use)

Tate would sigh in relief as he felt the slight pinprick of sensation from Terashi wash over him. He was totally wearing his thoughts and emotion on his sleeve right now, but it would help him judge that it worked rather than the usual repulsion or negation he would have received. Liza would project this for Terashi to experience, which should be a decent learning experience. "Well...only took me preparing to write it on a stick and hit you with it but you did it. One problem.." "You still need to sense the Pokemon in the egg." Tate started and Liza finished, the pair once again operating in sync as their Partner Pokemon floated behind them. "Guess its time.." "To prove your control." They continued, staring at the man for a moment as they waited for him to retrieve the egg and begin the process.
