Hey Bill! its me, the guy with the touchy gardevoir, thanks for the responce but i belive i have an interesting one for ya! It seems like my Gardevoir is trying to talk. Sometimes when i speak to her about something, some words get played back from her like she’s trying to use me to communicate. If this is the case, i was wondering if there was anything i can do to help her succeed in her goal. It happens often and she knows shes doing it so I want to help her get what she needs.

If you can stand it, grasp her hands or press your forehead to hers at first, then maintain physical contact through the duration of the message. This is just a temporary fix to help her sharpen her focus on you and “grasp” at your mind.

Also, there are certain exercises you can undertake to “open up” your mind a bit more. These are largely meditations where you visualize your mind pressing outwards, but really, any guided meditation designed to make you aware of yourself will do. Engage in these meditations alongside your gardevoir, and ensure that each session is at least a half an hour long. By doing this, your gardevoir will get used to your presence and thus become acquainted with the layout of your psyche (which in turn will make it easier and easier for her to enter).

Additionally, bond with her. The closer a human spends with a psychic pokémon, the stronger their psychic connection will become, even if the human doesn’t actually show psychic talent on their own. Those who spend years growing closer with their psychic pokémon and maintaining a close friendship can converse with their partners as naturally as two people speaking aloud. It’s much like how two human friends who spend years together may know each other so well they can finish each other’s sentences, only with a psychic pokémon, that’s literally true. In other words, the more time you spend with gardevoir, the easier it will be to speak with her.

In any case, though, with all of this, I highly recommend taking it slow. Never be too impatient when it comes to nurturing this kind of bond. That’s an excellent way to become plagued with agonizing migraines. (This would be why I began this post with “if you can stand it”—not many people can, especially if they’re not that strong in an emotional sense. The meditation will also help with this.)

Good luck, anonymous! It’s great to hear that your gardevoir is taking so much of an interest in you she wants you to understand her. That’s the sign of a caring trainer.
