Psychic Abilities

[hauntedblossom]

All Psychics have all the abilities that encompass what one would imagine a Psychic to be: telepathy, telekinesis, future sight, among a host of others that fall into none of these categories. These standard Psychic abilities were once categorized into multiple abilities, but in recent years were lumped into more broad categories. This was to avoid creating hundreds of categories and avoid redundancies for record-keeping.

Every Psychic will have a specific talent that is stronger than the others, with rare circumstances being equal in up to all four areas. Sabrina Chinen of Saffron City, Caitlin of Unova, and Olympia of Anistar City are among such examples. Contrary to popular belief among the media, not every Psychic type trainer and specialist is a Psychic themselves. More often than not, they're just an average trainer that lean towards training that type. Additionally, not every Psychic will gravitate towards Psychic Pokémon either, in fact a lot of them only have a handful of the type and vary among the other types. However, more famous Psychics do tend to use the type, more for familiarity than not.

Sometimes, other types of "Psychics" are born with different abilities. Unknown to them, they are Psychics themselves, but are generally feared and ostracized for their abilities with very few exceptions; though some people revere these abilities. In rare circumstances, "standard" Psychic abilities can manifest alongside these abilities. Leaf Shimizu of Pallet Town, Morgana Sakurai of Celestic Town, and ??? Of ??? are among such examples with Leaf and Morgana having awoken their "standard" Psychic powers as well.

A ranking system once existed, but due to the complexities of non-standard Psychics awakening to regular psychic powers and distorting these rankings, it was done away with.

List of Psychic Categories and Known Psychics
(Click to expand each section)

↓ Psychic Categories ↓

Psychic Ability	Details
Clairvoyant	Ability to see into the future, often not at will unless one is a powerful Clairvoyant, and even then requiring the aid of Psychic Pokémon for perfect detail. They are often referred to as "Seers" by many. They may additionally possess the ability to see things and events that are happening far away and locate objects, places, and people.
Telekinetic	Ability to move things, animate and inanimate alike, with the mind. They can even lift themselves, with enough focus. The more powerful a telekinetic, the heavier the thing that can be lifted.
Telepath	Ability to read the minds of others and speak to others through their minds. Extremely powerful telepaths are able to do this over long distances and are often targeted by various villainous teams.
Empath	The ability to feel emotions from others, and even in rare cases of powerful empaths, to calm or disrupt other people's emotions.

↓ Special Psychic Types ↓

Power	Details
Healer	The ability to heal injuries, usually Pokémon. It is the rarest of all these Psychic abilities. It is also the least feared of all abilities, due to being helpful and not destructive, however it's also incredibly dangerous to the individual to heal others without training. Some Pokémon Nurses have been reported to have this ability.
Aura	The user is able to sense auras and manipulate them to create "waves". This ability has been known to be in family lines or connected to ancient "Aura Guardians".
Spirit Seers	The ability to not only see and communicate with spirits, but the ability to control them as well. It is tied for the rarest with Healers, but is the most feared due to these people being able to control the dead and Ghost types alike. Many with this ability pass themselves off as Mediums & Channelers to avoid detection. Some rare few have been known to lay curses on their enemies, although this is passed off as their Pokémon doing so.
Dark Psychic	Unlike normal Psychics, these people are able to read Dark Types, but are able to pass themselves off as standard Psychics; generally as Telepaths due to this ability being a telepathic one. Generally, Dark Psychics do not possess any clairvoyant or telekinetic abilities if they awaken standard abilities, but this has happened. Dark Psychics have a unique ability in that they are able resist Psychics and especially strong ones can subdue Psychics. Powerful Psychics often have a Dark Psychic by their side on the rare chance they lose control, often by their choosing. Sabrina and Caitlin are two famous examples.
Pyrokinetic	The ability to manipulate, manifest, and control fire telekinetically. Generally feared for being destructive due to weaker pyrokinetics being unable to fully control this ability. Many pass themselves off as Firebreathers.
Aquakinetic	The same as Pyrokinetic, but water based. Extremely powerful aquakinetics have been reported to manipulate ice and breathe underwater.
Electrokinetic	The same as Pyrokinetic, but electricity based. Extremely powerful electrokinetics have been reported to manipulate lightning storms.
Aerokinetic	The same as Pyrokinetic, but air/wind based. Extremely powerful aerokinetics have been reported to manipulate the weather across a wide area, although proof has yet to be found and often attributed to Pokémon Abilities such as Drought and Drizzle (it has happened, but records were destroyed).
Terrakinetic	The same as Pyrokinetic, but earth based. Extremely powerful terrakinetics have been reported to cause small scale quakes, although these reports do not have adequate proof and is attributed to Pokémon battles.

Some eye colours have been attributed to some of these special psychics:

Spirit Seers often sport pale eyes ranging between purple and silver. This eye colour does not guarantee a child will be one, as these colours can occur naturally.

Healers will always have a golden ring around their eyes. This does not guarantee a child is a Healer, as some children can have golden inner rings, but every healer will have this ring.

Dark Psychics will always sport thin red, blue, or silver inner rings in their eyes. This isn't often noticeable, and unless someone is up close in their face, isn't noticed from afar. Many pass this off as a trick of the light, as it can appear a different colour in some lighting.
