Chapter 29: Pollution Town

On her way towards the next gym, Zia, Sky, and Emmy come across a very polluted and depressing place where few people live. Said city is called Gringey City, a fitting name.

Walking near the water, which wasn't in any better shape than the town, the three look around disgusted. "How'd a place get this bad? It's awful." Zia said as she scrunched her nose, the smell making her cringe.

"Yeah, there's no such thing as fresh air around here." Emmy said as she covered her nose. Zia looked back at Sky, curious as to why she was so quiet. Though, she wasn't expecting the electric Pokemon to collapse.

"Sky! What's wrong?" She asked as she ran back to her. She kneeled down to the Pokemon and tried to touch her, only to be shocked. Zia pulled her hand back. "I can't move her on my own." Zia muttered, worried.

Even if she had rubber gloves, she couldn't lift a Luxray by herself. Emmy wouldn't be able to either. Emmy walked over, just as concerned. "What do we do?!" She asked, panicking a bit. Zia took a breath as she tried to think of something.

Remembering she's a psychic and has Sabrina's power book, she took it out of her bag. She flipped through the pages until she found the page she was hoping to find. She read through it before trying it out.

Telekinesis

Telekinesis is an ability that allows the user to pick up living and nonliving objects with their mind. Instead of physical strength, it depends on mental strength.
Steps: 1. Choose the object you wish to move.
2. Focus on that one object.
3. Imagine it moving in the direction you desire.
4. With enough practice, you will eventually be able to move multiple objects.

Zia nodded to herself and stood up, taking a few steps from her collapsed Pokemon. She focused her mind solely on the electric Pokemon, imagining her moving in her mind. Nothing happened at first, leaving the girl a bit panicked but she calmed herself and tried again.

The second time didn't work either, making Zia huff. She tried once more, nothing else on her mind but to get Sky moving. At first, it seemed it didn't work again, but that's when it happened.

Sky's body began to levitate, a silvery glow outlining her body as she hovered. Zia internally gasped, not expecting it to work, but kept her composure to not lose focus. She began to imagine the Luxray's body moving next to hers as she walked backwards, finding her Pokemon levitating after her.

Zia gained more confidence and turned around, beginning to run to the Pokemon center with Emmy right behind her. Once they were inside the healing center, Zia found a stretcher off to the side as she gently laid the Luxray onto it, catching her breath as the glow vanished, stopping the telekinesis.

Zia then ran over to the desk, ringing the bell since the nurse wasn't there. "Anyone! I need help, please!" She yelled, continuing to ring the bell. Nurse Joy suddenly walked out, yawning tiredly. "Do you know what time it is? You should be asleep." She said and yawning again.

"I'm sorry, but my Luxray suddenly collapsed." Zia explained as she gestured to the electric Pokemon. Nurse Joy glanced over. "It's a cold." She stated, not even doing a proper check. Zia furrowed her eyebrows. "You certainly aren't as thorough as your sisters and cousins." Zia stated as Nurse Joy yawned once again.

"Don't get so riled up. Look, sparks are coming off of its mane. It's an early symptom of a cold for its species." She said. "If you leave it here overnight, I'm sure it'll be fine in the morning." She added.
