Reign Extras: PokeSpeak

Description

Welcome to the weakest (and best???) section of all Psychic abilities: PokeSpeak! This Psychic power is so unimpressive it has almost no impact on the lives of those who possess it. Although understanding Pokemon is cool and can earn you skill points as a Trainer, most PokeSpeaks either understand or speak to Pokemon--not both. Those with the capacity to understand and speak with Pokemon are typically Empaths, as being both receptive and transmissive are signs of a higher Psychic power.

For example, you have N up there with Darma. He understands Pokemon perfectly, but cannot speak with them successfully. The best he can do is get a Pokemon's attention with his power--he lacks the ability to formulate his own "words" back to them. That's a bit of a one-sided conversation... don't you think? Then there's someone like Champion Red who can speak directly to Pokemon, but lacks the ability to understand them. His Pokemon are well-trained, loving, and powerful as a result... but he can't really get feedback from them, either.

Think of it like learning a foreign language for the first time. You go to the foreign country after years of training in your new language, only to realize that the formal language and what is actually being spoken are two very different things. I'm looking at you Spain what the hell is up with that Catalan bullshit

The only PokeSpeaks known for doing anything remarkable outside of training are those from the Ancient Unovan throne. Yeah. That's how useless this skill is outside of battling. Basically, PokeSpeaks get the short end of the stick on the Psychic part, but have better lives on the health side of things. Yay?

I noticed a small typo, it says "undected" instead of "undetected".
