The long strip contains data for an additional Poké-Power this card can use:

Psy-Capture

サイコキャプチャー You can use this power once during your turn (before your attack), if Kadabra is your Active Pokémon. This Poké-Power lets each player draw a number of cards from his or her deck. This power can't be used when Kadabra is affected by a Special Condition.

Trivia

This was the final appearance of Kadabra in the TCG, despite Alakazam being included in other expansions since. This is likely due to Uri Geller's history of lawsuits with Nintendo over Kadabra's Japanese name's similarity to his own. Mysterious Treasures contained the final appearance of Abra and had an attack that allowed it to evolve directly into an Alakazam.

Origin

Nightmare is a move in the Pokémon games that Kadabra can learn via TM50 in Generation II. This card's English e-Reader Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Crystal, whereas the Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Gold.
