I see the spoons moving and everything seems to slow as I direct my powers inward. I can clearly see the trajectory of each spoon as it flies, and slowly move myself out of the way.

Everything speeds up to normal and I feel suddenly drained as the spoons harmlessly fly past me. Vulpix, being significantly smaller and having slightly more time to react also manages to dive out the way, before readying a blast of cold air. <Don't!> I yell at her, before turning my attention back to the pokemon, who is forming an orb of shadows in front of it.

<We aren't the ones that did this to you! > I tell it. The psychic contact makes it pause a little, before I hear a mental whisper.

It seems like it's charging up as big an attack as it can manage before firing, so I've got a little time.

I'm nodding off hard, so I'm done for the night. Sorry about that.

No worries. Have a good sleep.

My priority is to not get hit by that shadow ball, so I launch a wave of electricity at the Alakazam in order to disrupt it. Vulpix catches on to what I'm trying to do an launches a confuse ray at it as well. Unfortunately, it gets lost in the waves of electricity crawling across the walls.

As the electricity crawls across the walls, the lights flicker on as it passes before dying again. When it reaches the Alakazam, it interferes with the mysterious energy emmited from its vambraces, causing it to revert to a Kadabra and faint. As the electricity flows over it, it's joints spazm, the shadow ball stops spinning and some smoke leaks out of its vambraces. The whispers from earlier start up again.

A pink Pokemon pops into existence briefly, before vanishing into an exposed wire, leaving me with a now unconscious Kadabra.

Psychically scanning the area, I notice that the shining human presence is now almost directly above me, and seems to be heading closer.

The shadow ball suddenly disperses with a pop, leaving me to ponder my options.

the old man is the guy we fought not to long ago right?
>>Check out behind the blown open doors.
>> Leave immediately

>>1104529
>>Take it with me for now.

>>Wake up the scientist

>>1104529
>Leave it with the old man
Only if he's willing after explaining what happened. Last thing we want is the old guy not realizing that the Kadabra might try to kill him in a panic.

If not, take it to the pokemon rangers; they're human authorities, and they're the sort who would likely give the Kadabra's side of the story fair weight.

>Quickly take any papers that look important and the vambraces
>Leave immediately
While they might be able to weasel out of this with just a Kadabra's testimony, I'm worried about the whole place locking down once the backup generators kick on. Saving who we can right now is more important, and we might get lucky with what we swipe.

Just got held up by something. Update in ~1 hour.

Yes, the old man is the ex-gym leader you fought before.
