[IC] Pokémon Hoenn: α and Ω

[James Davy]

Shiranui sighed as he left to deliver his findings to Khuda. "Ralts, your personality reminds me of a story my master read to me a long time ago called A Christmas Carol and you're acting out the part of its miserly protagonist," stated Titania, "If you continue down the path of parasitism, your future will be bleak until the time where your soul is taken by a Dusknoir to the spirit world not as a Gardevoir like me, but in your current unevolved form with no-one around to say goodbye. Even after you pass away, your soul will be weighed down with all the burdens of those you hurt as you live your next life as a Litwick, feeding off the life energy of everyone around you. Do you really want this to happen to you?"

Ralts looked to her in surprise, only to slowly lower it's head and clench it's nubs like fist, widening it's stance. It's mouth went from a it's evil smile to an expression from someone who is hearing the impossible, all the way to one of angst and denial, twitching slightly to show just how flustered she was. Suddenly she stomped her foot and it surprisingly made a thud, and she glared into the eyes of the gardevoir, anger filling over her emotion.
"Why do you even care! You've got a trainer and it's not mine, we aren't family or anything! You should mind your own business and let me do what I want" it shouted, surprisingly ticked off. What was even more unique was that it was standing it's ground like this. Rather than cowar in fear or submit to the other pokemon who was clearly significantly more power, it acted as if it was actually the superior here. She was shaking her nubby fist at the other gardevoir in a menacing way.
"just let me be, ger" she continued, suddenly sending a few rocks from nearby to spin around gardevoir.

[James Davy]

Titania used a Psychic to send the rocks flying into the rock wall near the cave entrance, leaving them embedded. "I don't think so!" Titania rebutted as she grabbed Ralts in a psychic hold, "I'm going to probe your mind for the root cause of why you act like a Piplup!"

[manapool1]

"Why you! You'll rue this day!" She shouted, struggling to free herself, she had surprising power, but she did not have so much it was impossible or improbable. "let me go this instant, you...you ratata!"

[James Davy]

"You'll have to do better than that," Titania rebutted as she linked her mind with Ralts' and started probing.

Gallade sensed the spike in psychic activity. He excused himself from his trainer's side to investigate, having recognized said psychic energy as Titania's.

[James Davy]

Shiranui saw Gallade go by. "What is Titania doing?" he mused, "If it got Gallade's attention, it must be big." He decided to follow as well.

[manapool1]

Inside ralt's head, many memories flew by, but too many going too fast for anyone to comprehend. As the Gardevoir entered, she would only hear hysterical laughter. "You fool! Starting a fight in my head is like asking to battle arceous! When you're in here, I make the rules. The first rule is that I always win"

[James Davy]

"Is that a fact?" Titania's mental avatar rebutted, "You're underestimating my power, little Ralts! I've defeated minds more malevolent than yours!" The Gardevoir transformed into her mega form and flew around, looking for Ralts' core memories.

[manapool1]

A growl could beheard before the ralts flew after her, blasting a hyper beam from her mouth. She did not actually know the move, but she had seen it before, as a memory flew by of her being hit by one shot from a gyrados' mouth.

[James Davy]

Titania faced the beam and conjured a fiery Blast Burn, overpowering the Hyper Beam. She had recalled seeing her trainer's Charizard show the move to her in the lab. "Allowing the use of moves in your mind that one couldn't normally use in the real world is a double-edged sword, little Ralts, for I have seen moves much more powerful than a Hyper Beam," stated Titania, "Don't make me subdue you with Yveltal's signature move!"

[manapool1]

Ralts smiled, spreading her body wide as she awaited to other one of her kind to follow through with her threat. She seemed very impressed with her own ability, using agility to start to move quicker towards her enemy. "You can't win in my mind, I make the rules here, but I'd love to play with you a bit longer"

[James Davy]

Titania smirked, getting an idea. "I'd love to play with you too, but I have a job to do," she stated before conjuring a Dark Void attack, casting everything in darkness and giving Ralts the urge to sleep, "It's nap time!"

[manapool1]

"Grrr, you can't do this!" She shouted, looked to titania, causing her to feel just as sleepy, as was her hidden ability. Suddenly she began to feel drowsy, and ralts fell to the ground, going to sleep.

[James Davy]

Titania also fell asleep, but after using Sleep Talk that turned into Refresh, the Gardevoir soon woke up. Titania knew time was short before Ralts woke up again so she hastened her search for Ralts' core memories.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Gallade came upon the situation. Now that he was seeing what was going on, he was able to quickly figure out what was going on with the huge spike in psychic energy. He turned to see Shiranui had followed.
"Mr. Shiranui," Gallade communicated via telepathy. "It looks as though Titania has had to resort to extreme measures in trying to resolve the issue with that little Ralts. I do not know if I should intervene, or just leave it to her."

[James Davy]

"Don't interfere," Shiranui instructed, "Ralts is as defiant as a Taillow hence why Titania is doing this. My guess is she's trying to probe Ralts' mind and is encountering heavy resistance."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Very well," Gallade replied. He stood by and waited for it to be over.

[manapool1]

The ralts would fall asleep, but with a smile. She knew this would only make things harder to do. Suddenly, in between the memories floating by, most of which of her faking to sleep or being beaten in a battle, strange memories started to go by, completely unlike the others. Clowns shootinget at ratata with water guns, cakes being turned into berries and exploding. Her memories where being clouded by dreams.

[James Davy]

Titania knew however that the strange memories were coming from the wrong part of the mind. "No wonder Khuda couldn't control this Ralts," the Gardevoir mused, "Ralts has much more experience than we thought and Khuda has fewer badges than is required to gain her respect." Titania did a psychic scan and found the control centre where the core and short term memories were kept. It was quite a distance away so to cut time, Titania used Teleport to get there.

On a pedestal with lines of light radiating out into where the long term memories were kept were a series of orbs that held every memory that defined Ralts' personalities. "Jackpot!" thought Titania with a grin as she started reading into why Ralts was tenaciously defiant.
