**Slowly walking far, far away from the mansion, Bede felt cold inside. A familiar coldness... As a shudder ran across his back. It was finally time again... Wasn't it? *Finally after such a long time...***

**Walking faster, he looked around in somewhat of a panic, searching for something as his breathing got much more ragged. Scrambling under a big tree near the trail, in the shade of the sun that seemed to be burning down on him, the fairy boy felt cold sweat run down his forehead.** 

Damnit... I guess it's time again... **He gasped out and reached out for a Greatball in his coat, releasing his faithful Xatu from it. As he struggled to stay calm.**
Edward
...**Looking around, he saw himself to be in a familiar looking situation like last time, but worse. Frowning heavily, the green pokemon made it's way over to Bede and sat down before him, before touching the boy's forehead with his wing.** "*My friend... You are an idiot you know that...? You are struggling already and having an inner turmoil like you did is only going to make it worse... Can't you see how draining it is for you? To keep your own abilities in check, my friend...? Let me help you... Quickly...*"

**And so... Again, a green aura began to spread, though this time over both Pokémon and trainer... Calming down the boy in front of him as his breathing slowed down considerably.**
Gary
**Having control over his being again, Bede looked up and glared at his friend, before sighing and nodding his head quietly. Yeah... He knew these feelings were making everything harder... And yet he enjoyed strangely having them. Still...** I know... But I can't control what I feel and what I don't, there is no on and off switch to all of this, Nos. There never has been and never will be... **He shuffled and positioned himself differently, crossing his legs as he stared back at his Pokémon.**

Is there instead no way of me coming to terms with what I am feeling...? I am confused Nos... Confused and honestly scared. What did I do to her? Am I scaring her...? Or why is she so nervous whenever she is near me? Should I even go near her again...? What should I do... I know, you know the future and the past... So tell me, what should I do...? **He croaked out rather tiredly... All of this left him drained so much and he just wanted answers to these confusing questions..**
Edward
**How it pained him to see his friend in a state like this... But that was life, confusing and sometimes hurting, shaking his head, he gave his trainer a stern but kind gaze.** "*Bede... You know I can't do that.. I can't answer all your questions in life, no matter how much I would like to. I can see the future and the past yes... But you are the one that needs to make his own decisions, not do what is predestined..*" **Xatu closed his eyes and seemed to oddly enough... Chuckle?** "*...Because my friend, you humans... And especially you, can change how things are going to be, change the outcomes of everything, for the good or worse... I only see the current possible outcome, which can change at any moment or second.*"

**Xatu then did something that he had honestly never done before... He hugged the exhausted boy in front of him and shielded him from an outsiders perspective.** "*...But what I can do, no matter the circumstance.. Is offer compassion, kindness and a someone who you can talk to and who can give you little... Nudges into the right direction. I am here for you, my friend... Let it all out... Tell me your woes and let your sadness fade away...*"
Gary
**Sitting there... Quiet and still and with wide eyes, Bede was honesty speechless... What was he supposed to say...? But before he could question himself further... The damn finally broke and he began to cry. Grabbing onto Nostradamus tightly, he cried and mumbled at the same time and told him every little tad bit that he was sad or worried about. About all the stress he had to endure as a new gym leader with huge expectations on him... About how he was worried that eventually Lady Opal wouldn't be there anymore for him... About how he was scared that people would leave him again, that everything he had, every relationship of any kind was just a lie, build up on his fame and his status. That people were trying to use him...**

**...That the nervousness of Gloria just was because she saw his powers and thought of him as a freak... Or that in actuality she didn't actually ever like him... Not as a friend or a person and that he would just eventually be alone.. No friends no nothing, no one would care about him... Nothing.**
Edward
**Quietly patting the back of his trainer, Nos waited and nodded from time to time, just letting him know that he is there for him... Whispering in his mind quiet reassurances or rebuttals... Calming his nerves and of course making sure that the young boy's psychic powers weren't going wild.**

**It took quite the while before Bede calmed down.. And his cries turned into quiet sobs and at last they stopped. At last, his friend's gaze and his own met... And Nostradamus could clearly see... He was still sad and exhausted... But there was now also understanding and acceptance in his eyes and soul.** "*Now my friend... How about I show you show you some tricks to clear your mind and keep worries away, along with how to meditate and control your powers better?*"

**At which Bede nodded and straightened up.**

**And so they spend the rest of the evening... Under that tree, away from others... Training, meditating and well... Having a good time**
