Hey, since this keeps coming up in DMs and comments every time I post about transforming into a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, I figured I'd clarify a few things.
Sabrina trained me. I've been training in Psychic disciplines since
before I could walk, and my connection to Pokémon—especially Legendary and Mythical ones—isn't just biological or spiritual. It's
conceptual.
So here's the truth:
They are
Concepts. Literal personifications of fundamental forces of existence. The universe
shaped itself around them, not the other way around.
- Dialga is not "the god of time." Dialga is time.
- Giratina is not "the ruler of the Distortion World." Giratina is distortion.
- Xerneas isn't just tied to life. It is life—as a principle.
- Mephagic (yes, it's real) is magic, disease, and toxin. Not just a master of them—their source.
They are not "benevolent beings" with an interest in helping humanity. They are
utterly indifferent to mortals. You are a
mayfly in a hurricane, and if they glance at you with interest, it's probably
bad.
Because humans—especially
Psychics—are
linked to the mental plane.
And the mental plane is
where the Concepts echo.
When an untrained person glimpses even the
shadow of what a Legendary truly is, the result is usually
madness,
spiritual fragmentation, or
agonizing psychic overload.
We have
records in the Pokémon world's history of people who became
babbling husks, repeating fragmented truths about eternity, distortion, or the "color that cannot exist."
And if
Psychics—even skilled ones—aren't prepared to
shield themselves, that conceptual brightness can
burn them alive from the inside out.
I've seen it happen. Sabrina's seen it happen. It's
why she trained me relentlessly.
I carry all types now. I can use
all Legendary and Mythical signature moves. I can
channel them. But I can
only survive it because my mind is wrapped in layers of psychic defense, spiritual filtration, and absolute focus.
I say this not to brag, but to
warn:
Just because something looks beautiful, doesn't mean it's safe. Just because something is awe-inspiring, doesn't mean you're meant to
understand it.
- Legendary/Mythical Pokémon are Concepts given form.
- They are not your friends.
- Exposure to their true nature can cause madness, pain, or death.
- Psychics are at higher risk, not lower.
- If you're ever in the presence of one, and you feel something pulling at your mind? Run.
Stay safe. Stay grounded. Don't look directly into the abyss unless you've got
a damn good teacher.

"
Don't look directly into the abyss unless you've got a damn good teacher" is now my new life motto.

So this confirms that the stories of people going mad from just being near
Giratina's domain or
hearing Kyogre's dreams are legit??

This changes the tone of so much Pokémon lore. They're not just ancient beasts or divine spirits. They're the
skeletal framework of the universe itself.

This is now classified as a
Level 5 Conceptual Hazard. Please report any strange dreams, psychic echoes, or compulsive thoughts about nonexistent geometry to your local PRT office.

Sabrina
raising Taylor and preparing her to walk through the
Conceptual Storm of the Divine is the most metal parenting story I've ever heard.

Y'all are sweet. But seriously—respect the Concepts. I don't fear them, but I
revere them. You don't survive channeling Oblivion Wing or Origin Pulse without
discipline.
Also yes,
Sabrina is terrifying and perfect.
