The Psychic-types I've been training have been acting strangely lately for no discernible reason; Mitsuyo - that would be the Munna - has been acting particularly upset, and she's usually my calmest one.

This doesn't seem to be affecting any of my other Pokémon, though my Gyarados and Misdreavus have seemed distracted lately. I was wondering if this was happening to your Psychic-types as well - basically, if there's something in the air around Goldenrod, or if it's just something in this house in particular.

[sadisticwarfare]

I've noticed similar problems with mine. My Alakazam is normally very relaxed, he doesn't get worked up over anything. This is certainly not a good sign, though I can't say what's causing it. I've attempted to talk to him about it and the most I can get is a sense of foreboding. He doesn't seem to know what's making him so agitated either.

[ardent]

That's a problem I've been having as well. Mitsuyo usually tells me everything, but she can't explain why she's so upset; I just know that she is.

[sadisticwarfare]

It's odd that this is happening now. There have been other opportunities for something like this to happen, but I've never seen Alekhine this upset. There was that mess with the golems and that didn't bother him at all, so I can only imagine that something even worse is coming.

[ardent]

...If I'm going to be honest, I've been feeling sort of strange too. It's mostly just headaches, but they won't go away; I was thinking it might be because the Psychic-types are so upset, but I'm not really sure. I haven't said anything to anyone in the house because I don't want to worry them, but it doesn't seem right.

[sadisticwarfare]

Now that you mention it, I believe I've been experiencing the same thing. I wrote it off as stress from work, but it's possible that this is all related somehow. I can't say for certain what it is, but it's going to be something big.

[ardent]

You don't think it's like that castle again, do you?

[sadisticwarfare]

I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that did happen again.

[ardent]

[You are getting the longest pause before this next text, Archer.]

What should we do about it?

[sadisticwarfare]

I'm afraid I don't have an answer to that. The only thing I can think to do is prepare our Pokémon for the worst case scenario, but if it ends up being like that castle again where we don't have our Pokémon... I don't know what we can do.

[ardent]

...The Gyarados and Misdreavus are the other ones that I had to find again. In the castle, I mean.

[sadisticwarfare]

They're the other two that have been acting odd, correct? I doubt that's just a coincidence.

[ardent]

That's what I'm thinking too.

[There's a pause, and then another.]

Thanks for verifying this with me, and I'm sorry for sending this so late at night.

[sadisticwarfare]

Keep an eye on all your Pokémon and let me know if there are any changes.

With any luck it'll turn out that we're worrying about nothing.

[ardent]

I hope so, and I'll do that.

Are you still in Goldenrod?

[sadisticwarfare]

I am, yes. Are you still in the area?

[ardent]

Not now, but I will be. I was short one of the badges and wanted to finish out the set; I'm currently in Cianwood but will be returning home soon.

[sadisticwarfare]

We can meet up to discuss any changes once you've returned.

[ardent]

All right. I'll contact you then.

...Thanks. I really appreciate it.

[sadisticwarfare]

You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to help.
