Oak made a nice breakfast for Icy and Sara then told them he had to go run some errands.  The two pikachus left the lab and continued on their way towards Viridian City.  Just on the outskirts of Pallet, Icy felt something funny.  “What is it?”
    “I... I don’t know...  I feel like I’m...”  Icy fell to the ground.  Sara became very nervous and tried reviving her friend.  Icy’s body slowly disappeared.  The phasing gift was having its random effect on him again.  He entered once again, a dreamlike state in the Void.
    “So, we meet again.”  Mewtwo’s shadowy figure was the only visible figure Icy could see.  He moved towards Icy.  “I must say, you really do pick rather inconvenient times for us to chat.”
    “I didn’t ask to come here.”
    “No.  I suppose you’re right.  The problem is, I didn’t either.  You’re controlling all of this.”
    “How?  How am I controlling it?  This is the gift right?  That thing Sabrina was telling me about?”
    “You catch on quick Icy.  This is the eternal Void.  All of space and time stands still here.  Your appearances here are not by coincidence, let me remind you.  You’ve come here to seek answers.”
    “The visions.  That’s what took me to Cinnabar Lab.  But now, from that, a new terror has arisen.  Team Rocket’s Doomsday Project.”
    “Let go of your thoughts and concentrate on nothing.  The past, present, and future will become known to you.”  Icy cleared his mind of thought.  He became one with the Void.  It spoke to him.  It put images into his mind.
    He opened his eyes, seeing a peaceful grassland.  Many pokémon ran free.  Eevees were playing cute little games with each other while some sandshrews ran races.  It was all too real and too serene.  “Why am I seeing this?  What does this have to do with the Doomsday Weapon?  I’ve never seen this place before.”
    “This isn’t from your life.  The experiment was, but this requires your presence.  The purpose of the visions will become clearer if you pay close attention.  Ahh, look...”  Icy focused his attention back on the vision.  The pokémon were disappearing.  One by one, they vanished.  The landscape soon became dark.  Ash and cinders replaced the grass.  The trees were reduced to mere twigs or burning limbs.  The once bright blue sky was now filled with dark gray clouds and was the color of burnt red.
    “Wha... What happened?  This doesn’t look anything like the place I was just in.”
    “The visions are sometimes strange.  Keep watching...”  Mewtwo vanished, unknown to Icy.  His eyes were focused on the field again.  It was back to normal, green, fresh, and populated.  A flock of spearows flew from the trees crying out.  Something was happening.  Icy couldn’t see for sure exactly what happened after that, but whatever it was that blinded him temporarily was definitely the cause of the destruction he had seen earlier.
    “What does all this...”  Icy looked around for Mewtwo.  He was nowhere to be found.  “Oh that’s just great.”  He began to cry a little.  [sniff] “Why?  Why me?  Why do I have to be the one how must prevent all this?  I don’t even know what this is!  I can’t do it...”  His tears rolled off his cheek and floated through the Void.
    “Why do you cry little one?”
    “Who... who’s there,” he managed to whimper.
    “I am not able to be identified by the words of your language.  I am much more complicated then even you could hope to understand.”
    “If you’re Mewtwo playing another cruel joke on me, I’m not listening.”
    “I assure you, I’m not that egotistical freak of nature you call Mewtwo.  I am a much higher being.  You might say, I reside here, in the Void.  I am that which watches over the world and keeps balance and peace.  But now, Chaos has ripped the balance from your world.”
    “You mean the Doomsday Weapon?”
    “Yes.  That is the source of the chaos.  With this weapon, your world may cease to exist.”
    “But if you watch over everything, why don’t you stop it?”
    “Icy, there are things that even I can’t control.  Only someone who is mutually involved, such as you, can stop this.  You must see the connection here Icy.  Nothing just happens.  There is a reason for everything.  We must all see these things and recognize them.  You will find this.  But now, it is imperative you understand what’s at stake now.  Our time grows short.  You’ll be back in your current timeframe soon.  Remember what you saw here.  Know that the gym leader of Viridian City is Giovanni himself.  Use that opportunity to find out more about the Doomsday Project.  Confront the less intelligent agents and use them to your advantage.”
    “But wait, I want to know the truth about the experiment.  Please tell me...”  Icy stopped his sentence as he felt himself drift thought the barriers of time.
    “Icy!  Icy!  Oh please answer me!  Wake up!”  Sara’s eyes were filled with tears.  She didn’t know what to do so she dragged him behind some nearby trees so no trainers would find them.  Icy slowly regained consciousness.
    “Ouhhhh....” he moaned.  Sara was overjoyed.  She gave Icy a huge hug.
    “I thought you’d never wake.”
    “How long was I out?”
    “Not long.  But you gave me a big scare when you just fell for no reason.”
    “I’ll explain it to you some other time.  For now, lets get to Viridian City.  That’s a lot of things I’ve got to do there.”  They continued on their way through Route 1 and reached the medium-sized city by noon.  They rested for the middle of the day in the local pokécenter, which was all brand new since it was destroyed by Ash’s pikachu a while ago.
