Chapter 25- A Mind Blowing Battle
FLASHBACK: A few days before the battle…
Ash was sitting in a bedroom room of the Pokémon Center by himself. He pressed a button on his Dex and the image of his mother and his lovers appeared.
"Alright. Let's begin." Ash said.
Delia nodded "Sabrina, the Saffron Gym Leader, and Psychic Extraordinaire. She has only three losses on her record."
"Any idea who beat them? I checked on the Dex and it is coming up 'Classified'." Ash said.
Lola shook her head "We checked what we could, but nothing comes up except that it's been sealed by the Kanto Pokémon League on the order of the former Champion himself. Didn't realise he still had this much pull."
He sighed for a moment and brought up the data of her Pokémon she used that was officially listed.
"Very well. Let's move on to her Pokémon."
Her team appeared and it had various Psychic Pokémon on screen.
Daisy looked on the team "Standard weakness on Psychic is Ghost, Dark, and Bug moves. But as a Gym Leader and borderline S-Class trainer, she's more than likely trained her Pokémon to either negate their weakness or marginalise it."
"Have some Pokémon that have a strong Special Defense against her team. Otherwise she could easily take you out in one hit." Added Delia
"That could work, but which team should I use, though." Ash replied.
Melanie looked at his Team and looked through the details of it. "I could think of using your new Ghost companions."
"Yes, but two of them are not ready. One of them is not battle ready, while the other tends to prank our group."
"Especially with how he woke you guys up yesterday. Specifically when he made it look like you wet yourself." Dex quipped.
Ash shook his head as the women chuckled.
"Alright, alright. Now I know two of the Pokémon I will use and I am debating whether or not to use him."
Delia knew who he was talking about "If you do use him, do you think he will help out with Sabrina's problem?"
"I believe so. If not… Well… We're all screwed."

Present Time…
Ash looked ready to fight. Misty, Giselle, and Jenny were accompanying him to the gym. The women looked somewhat nervous about it.
"I heard she erases the memories to the people who lost." Giselle said.
"That's a true story, in a way." Misty said.
Jenny looked surprised hearing this "Why, though?"
"I wish I knew. Must have been something to do with what they faced."
They walked on until they saw the large gym itself. It had an eye on the center of a large Pokéball. Ash went toward the entrance and went inside as the girls followed him.
Once entering, they realized how big the entrance was. There wasn't exactly the usual service desk. Instead, it had various mats on the place with various simple objects on each mat. The colour of the room is tan, near gold, making it more...tranquil. He observed a number of people, wearing yoga clothing. Some are meditating; some are lifting objects at a few feet with only their mind.
Then, they saw a man in a white suit wearing a dust mask approaching them.
"Welcome to the Saffron Gym. What can I do for you today?"
"My name is Ash Ketchum and I am here to face Sabrina." Ash said.
This stopped a number of people from training and watched the young man. The other man began to laugh at him. As the other laughed as well.
"You! Ha! What makes you certain you can take her down?"
Ash smiled mysteriously "I have ways to do so."
"Really?! You see, this gym dedicates itself to the study of the mind, and the development of Psychic powers. I doubt you can deal with one as powerful as Sabrina." He took out his spoon "Observe" He concentrated on the spoon. He began to sweat a bit until the spoon bent.
"See?!"
Ash raised his eyebrow. "Okay…."
He was given a spoon. "Go ahead."
The other chuckled as Ash nodded. He looked at it and then it bent and broke in two in just a short time. This caused the majority of their eyes to widen.
"H-how?!"
Ash smirked "I have my own secrets. So, can I face her now?"
He nodded numbly and turned around down a hallway. Ash and the ladies followed him down the dark hallway and on to a large brass, handle free door.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside of the center of the gym…
A young woman with dark hair, dark red suit, and boots, was meditating. She then felt an odd power for a brief moment and it was gone.
She opened her eyes and pondered who did that or what. She had felt it a few times recently. She knew of what Team Rocket was doing; even now she could feel the abomination's presence grating on her senses, especially when she tries to sense outside of Saffron. She knew about the hostage situation, she couldn't care less about a cold mechanical company that did nothing for her. She made the choice of not interfering. Why should she? There was no point to interfering; the Rockets were too frightened to go near her, especially after what she did to their infiltrator, to Operative Nero… She decided to see how things will play out.
What surprised her was learning that someone successfully infiltrated the place, scared off the leader and saved the day. She felt an unknown power in Silph Co. during the rescue. One she felt wary of.
Upon reading the daily news, she learned that a young man named Ash Ketchum had led his team to save Silph, and successfully stopped the Rockets. She looked at every detailed profile on him and felt a small emotion of surprise that was soon ruthlessly repressed. A trainer, who was in a league of his own, was held back by Lance. Then adding to the fact that he defeated Team Rocket repeatedly, stopping numerous operations, from illegal mining on Mount Moon, to the Silph Holdup.
The little girl that was next to her felt worried, then happy as Sabrina focused a plan.
Now she had the plan of course.
She was ready to face him.
Destroy. Crush. Eliminate the threat, the unknown power.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The large doors opened internally with a loud squeak, as in came Ash and his companions in the large room.
"Mistress Matthews, I have brought your new opponent. He challenges you for the badge."
She got up and nodded. He left immediately as his companions sat on the bench.
"So Ash Ketchum. I foresaw your arrival in a vision last month. I also saw your defeat at my hands. My visions have never been wrong, yet even through that I sense great bravery in you." Sabrina looked into his eyes.
"Being brave isn't why I'm here, but to question the problems you have." Ash replied.
"Problems?"
Ash nodded "About your emotionless self to being isolated from others. Why?"
She was curious about his questioning but then shook her head. "That won't matter. Normally this would have been a 4 on 4, but considering that I was given a nice pass from the Elite Four to test you, this will be a 6 on 6 instead."
Ash smirked, "I knew you'd say that."
This surprised her a little "In what way?"
"I would imagine that either Lance or Agatha put you into it."
Sabrina felt a little peeved on hearing those two names. He was accurate in a way. The old bat had suggested it after all. The young trainer saw her facade breaking a little, her mouth twitching downward. Good. He thought. This means I can get through somehow.
"I'm ready when you are." Ash said.
She nodded and took brought out 6 Ultra balls out. Ash had his team ready as a referee came out.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Saffron City Gym. Today this will be a six on six for the Marsh Badge. On the left, he is from Pallet Town, the challenger, Ash Ketchum! And on the right, from Saffron City, she is the gym leader of Saffron City, known as The Mistress of Psychic Pokémon, Sabrina Matthews!"
She looked serious. As the door slams shut, trapping all six individuals in the room.
"Begin!"
"Delphox." She threw her first Pokémon out and out came a bipedal fox with a stick on her hand.
Ash threw his first and out came Charmeleon, looking to fight. "Get ready Charmeleon!" Ash then opened up his Pokédex.
"DELPHOX, the Fox Pokémon and the evolved form of BRAIXEN. This Pokémon is native to the Kalos region. No further data is available as some stupid idiot hasn't given me the latest update yet!"
Ash closes Dex in anger.
The fox Pokémon threw her first fire attack as it spun towards Charmeleon.
"Dodge, Charmeleon!"
The lizard dodges the attack, as the fox fires another Fire Spin. Ash looks at Sabrina and notices her mouth is closed and her eyes are slightly glowing.
The young trainer suddenly realized she was using her mind to call the attacks! Ash smirks as he realises that he too can play the game. He gave an order through his Aura to Charmeleon, whom answered by spinning around while releasing a fire attack, creating a barrier between one fire and the other.
Delphox's eyes glowed and a blue aura began to encase her opponent. Charmeleon was sent flying a few feet, but bounced back up and dug underground.
The fox Pokémon tried to find him, as her eyes glowed. She moved out of the way as fire blew out. Then she felt being grabbed from behind and flew nearly at top of the ceiling. Then she was tossed on the ground hard. She shook it off and stared at each other.
Ash looked calm as Sabrina raised her eyebrow.
Meanwhile, in the entrance of the Gym, the students were watching and in some case sensing the battle.
"The Pallet kid isn't giving an order, like Mistress Sabrina." One of the psychic people said.
"I can't read any signals from him." Another said.
"Oh, you won't be able to find anything from him." Misty said through the door.
They turned to the door as Jenny asked "What do you mean?"
"Well, I can't really tell you but it does involve his unique gift."
"Gift?"
She nodded.
Back at the battle, Delphox released a dark slash attack right at her opponent. The fire Pokémon's claws turned metal and blocked the attack. Then as the dust cleared from the attack, she appeared with a hard head butt, her head glowing with Psychic energy.
Charmeleon was sent flying and landed hard a few times on the ground. He was getting up as he saw a large fire wave coming toward him.
He then exhaled a fire ring around him. The fire itself surrounded around him, as the fire made him stronger. Then she launched herself toward him with both her hands glowing purple. He tilted his head back for a moment, and then released an overpowered fire attack. Both attacks exploded. The dust was covering the field too much as both Ash and Sabrina looked on.
After it cleared out, both Pokémon are struggling to stay up. The fox Pokémon was impressed with how much power this fire Pokémon had. Then she went for a punch, just as Charmeleon, who enjoyed the fight, went for his own punch.
Both managed to hit each other and both flew right at their master's feet. Both are trying to get up, but collapse before they get to their feet.
"B-Both Pokémon are unable to battle. Please bring out your next Pokémon."
This surprised everyone. For the people who knew Sabrina, this was unexpected. For Ash's companions, this was something unexpected.
Both returned their Pokémon. Sabrina never expected this.
"Sabrina, what is with the child you have near you?" Ash asked.
Sabrina answered "She is what I feel. Though I care less what your thoughts are."
The girl giggles. "Because when you lose, we'll play! For ever, and ever, and ever!
"Is it necessary to separate yourself from what your true feelings are?"
She didn't answer as she took out another Pokéball, as Ash did as well.
Sabrina took out another Pokémon out. This Pokémon had a long black dress with purple skin. She had a serious look. "Gothitelle."
Ash opened Dex "GOTHITELLE, the Astral Body Pokémon and the evolved form of GOTHORITA. This Pokémon is native to the Unova region. GOTHITELLE's Psychic power is so great, it is said to warp space around it, and distort reality in the process. Maybe it could destroy that bastard ROTOM instead!"
Ash threw his next Pokémon out and out came Xatu. Xatu saw Sabrina and a vision came to him. He began to chuckle perversely until he was hit hard on the head by a psychic energy.
"Xat!"
Sabrina wasn't impressed with what the bird's thoughts were and it made her feel… awkward.
Xatu shook his head off after he heard an order from Ash. He nodded.
The gothic Pokémon released a large torrent of lightning at the bird Pokémon. The bird Pokémon raised his wings and they quickly turned metallic. He was able to block the attack, and he reflected the some of it back to her. She raised a barrier and blocked it.
Both Pokémon stare for a moment until the bird Pokémon flew right at his opponent. His wings were close to hitting her until she teleported out of the way. He barrel rolled to the side and tried to sense his opponent.
He moved out of the way from a purple beam that came from behind. The bird Pokémon u-turned flew right at the gothic Pokémon and tackled her hard. She summoned two large rocks and managed to hit her opponent hard.
He fell on the ground and saw more coming out. He teleported out of the place and returned right behind her. He smacked her with his glowing wing, as the Goth Pokémon was getting frustrated.
Sabrina was showing annoyance at this point as the little girl gasped a little.
Her eyes glowed for a moment and her body shines briefly, then stopped. Xatu released a strong purple beam and was heading towards his opponent. It was a direct hit, but it reflected back. Xatu placed a barrier of his own and was able to avoid any damage. Once it was over, she appeared and was ready to release a powerful beam attack. The bird Pokémon then hugged his opponent, as the beam missed him.
Using his psychic attack, he slammed her hard on the ground. His eyes turned purple and made slashing moves on the air, and out came shadowy energy attack. It manages to get a direct hit, as she felt agonizing pain.
She teleported out of the hole, as she appeared again. She panted as the scratches on her body were shown. She raised her arm up and released two dark energy balls and was heading toward her opponent.
Xatu raises his wings, turning his wings into metal. The attack did its job to block the attack, but he felt the effects from it.
Gothitelle released a lightning wave attack. Xatu teleported out of the wave. Each attack was being manipulated to get in his way. The bird Pokémon tried to get closer to closer on his opponent. He concentrated his Psychic power in the area and concentrated her wave attack. Then he managed to synchronize them and managed to fly over her.
She then felt both attacks colliding her. She screeched in pain and felt her body in pain, as the electricity was numbing her body while feeling her nerves burning up. The attack ended as she collapsed.
"Gothitelle is unable to battle. The winner is Xatu! Please bring out your next Pokémon."
Sabrina returned her Pokémon and took out another. "Bronzong." Out came a large metallic Pokémon. Looking like a large teal coloured bell, it looked ready to fight.
Dex pipes in "BRONZONG, the Bronze Bell Pokémon, and the evolved form of BRONZOR. This Pokémon is native to the Sinnoh region. One slept for well over 2000 years until it was accidentally awoken at a construction site in Sinnoh. What's brown and sounds like a BRONZONG? Dung!"
Xatu charged toward the Pokémon and made closed his wings. It became metallic and was shooting fast like a bullet.
The large bell Pokémon shines for a moment, then it stopped. When the attack happened, a large ringing bell was heard. Xatu wince from being blocked and shook his head.
Bronzong then fired various metal balls and it was heading toward its intended target. Xatu teleported out of the way. He then releases a dark energy ball at his opponent.
He raises a barrier and blocks it easily. Xatu then appeared and manages to get a hit with his metal wing.
The Pokémon did feel it but then slammed its large appendage on its opponent. The bird Pokémon was hit hard by the punch, ending up flying on to the other side. He hits the ground a few times and rolled on the ground. Then he stopped in the middle of the ground. He got up, barely as he felt pain from the attack.
Then the large bell Pokémon released a large purple beam right at the psychic Pokémon. He teleported out of the way. Then fired another volley of dark energy balls.
Bronzong created two barriers and blocked the attacks. It absorbed the large energy, as it released a large beam right at the bird Pokémon. This surprised him and was hit hard by the beam attack. As the beam attack ended, Xatu stood there.
"Xa…"
He then fell backwards, and was out of the fight.
"Xatu is unable to battle, the winner is Bronzong. Please bring out your next Pokémon."
Ash smiled and returned his Pokémon.
"Why do you smile after a loss?" Sabrina asked.
"Xatu did his job well, so I gave him a well done. I always show appreciation to my Pokémon." He then looked at her "Do you appreciate what yours do for you?"
She stayed silent.
"I do believe you do care, considering how you bonded with your Pokémon well enough to give commands through your link."
She was getting annoyed "I don't know what your game is, but I suggest we continue this battle."
Ash nodded and took out another Pokémon out.
Out came a large Pokémon with a large shell, swirled tails, and lastly having a swirly ear.
"Wartortle!"
Giselle was surprised to see this "When did he evolve?"
Misty smirked, "Ash was training his Pokémon for this yesterday and well...he evolved."
She then looked on to the battle.
Bronzong released an electrical attack.
The turtle Pokémon got into his shell and spun fast enough to fly around the place. He dodged the electric attacks easily. He kept swerving left and right, as the lightning attack missed each time.
Wartortle popped out of his shell and slammed him hard with a closed fist. This caused agonizing pain to the bell Pokémon.
It recovered immediately and threw some rocks right at him. He blew some ice on the ground and began to slide. He was able to dodge it as he created more ice and slide on it. It was just the turtle Pokémon, surfing around while avoiding attack after attack from the bell Pokémon.
Sabrina was slowly losing her patience and was not amused of the turtle mocking her.
Bronzong jumped up and landed hard on the ground. The earth began to shake as the turtle Pokémon knew he had to end the ice move. He jumped off and flew once more as he twirled in the air. Then he flew down and appeared out of his shell. He flew fast as his fist was glowing and gave a harsh punch. A loud gong is heard as the bell Pokémon agonized in pain.
He kept going for each excessive hard hit. Each hit was affecting the large Pokémon, as trying to make itself harder made it worse. It reached out its psychic energy and gave a strong psychic pull. Wartortle felt his body freeze and flung on the ground, then on the ceiling.
He winced each time he was getting thrown around. He broke it off with a strong torrent of water and splashed it on the front of the bell's face.
This caused the Pokémon to lose concentration. Wartortle then released a cold beam on its face as it began to freeze. It went on and on as it froze solid.
Wartortle panted a little and waited. He waited, and waited, until nothing happened for a while. The bell was out.
"Bronzong is unable to battle, the winner is Wartortle! Please bring out your next Pokémon."
She returned it.
"Sabrina. Your powers seem to be slipping out more."
She raised her eyebrow.
The referee noticed it. "Ma'am you're showing more aura."
She tried to hold it back, but it is getting more difficult. The little girl was slowly fading away.
"Do you need any help?" Ash asked.
"I don't need help."
She took out another Pokémon out. Out came a Pokémon that is orange in colour, spherical and had sharp rocks on each side. "Solrock."
"SOLROCK, the Meteorite Pokémon. This Pokémon is native to the Hoenn region. Sunlight is the only source of SOLROCK's power. It can float silently through the air. Like a ninja fart."
The rock gave no indication of hearing anything. Wartortle knew to be cautious. Even if he had the edge against a rock type Pokémon, there was something way off about this one.
The rock Pokémon began to throw rocks right at its opponent. The turtle Pokémon began to dodge the rock attacks.
He then began to surf from his ice attack. He was easily was able to avoid it until he was hit with a purple beam attack. He landed on his back and rolled himself back up.
The turtle Pokémon then released a ring of water right at his opponent. It was heading close to it until it created a rock barrier. It held on well and then started charging a green beam.
Wartortle knew what was going to happen. It hid in its shell and it shined brightly.
The attack was released and it was a direct hit. Inside of the shell, the turtle Pokémon felt some of the sting of the attack. It was causing him discomfort, but he had to hang in there. The attack lasted for a short time until it stopped. He winced as he got out of the shell and saw the rock Pokémon in a standstill.
He took a chance to hit him as he flew in the sky and released a strong torrent of water. It was a direct hit and it screeched in agony. Even with the hit, it was still standing. The large rock Pokémon began to glow for a bit and when it stopped, its body looked almost new. Wartortle could have sworn it looked like dawn for a second, before shaking his head.
Wartortle released a large Ice Beam that was a direct hit. The rock Pokémon began to roll as it did its best to destroy the shards of ice on its body.
Solrock released a wave of psychic attacks. This caused the water Pokémon to move out of the way. He kept dodging the attacks and tried to figure a way to stop it. He saw a small shard of ice and went after it. He grabbed it and threw it.
It managed to hit on the side as it stopped attacking. It shook it off and released another torrent of electrical attacks.
Wartortle was on the move again. He rolled into his chest and began to throw water right out of his shell. Solrock was moving to the side to avoid the water attack, all while trying to hit the electric Pokémon.
The water Pokémon dived hard and dug fast into the ground. The rock Pokémon launched itself up and landed hard on the ground as the gym shook. Just as the ground shook, Wartortle came out and slammed his opponent hard with a punch.
The rock Pokémon was sent flying a few feet and landed hard. He landed on his tip, but was panting. It got up and immediately launched itself towards its opponent and glowed.
"Wart…"
A large Explosion was released, making the gym somewhat dusty. As it cleared out, both Wartortle and Solrock were taken out.
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle. Please bring out your next Pokémon"
For Ash, he knew it was a desperate move. He sighed and smiled.
"Sabrina. Why are you so angry at everyone? Why are you so cold?"
Sabrina looked up, now being somewhat…angry.
"Why do you give a damn about me? I don't need anyone. Stay out of affairs that are none of your concern!"
The little girl was slowly disappearing.
Ash looked at his Pikachu and nodded. The mouse Pokémon jumped off his shoulder and was ready to fight.
She took out her next Pokémon. Out came a human-like creature with green hair and a white flowy dress. She saw her opponent and gave a shy wave. "Voir…"
Pikachu raised its eyebrows on the Pokémon.
"GARDEVOIR, the Embrace Pokémon and the evolved form of KIRLIA. This Pokémon is native to the Hoenn region. Gardevoir will willingly die to protect its trainer if their bond is deep enough. That… that's real love… excuse me for a moment…"
The psychic Pokémon felt anger and desperation from her trainer. She turned and saw her mistress looking angry.
"Gar?"
"Concentrate."
All she could do is nod. She didn't like where this was going.
She then released a volley of dark energy balls right at the mouse. The mouse Pokémon immediately avoided it by disappearing. She looked around for him and was surprised with a tackle attack.
She teleported out of the area, avoiding the follow up attack. Pikachu flipped with a somersault and landed. He waited for a bit until he dodged another volley of dark energy balls.
He kept himself out of danger with his speed a few times and then released some electrical attacks. This caused her to raise a barrier. Just as she put it down, he was gone.
Then she was tackled on the back of a hard steel attack. His tail glistened in a metallic colour. He landed on his feet and rushed right at her. He was then hit by a purple beam on the chest. He rolled to the side but then disappeared again.
She looked around and concentrated his movement. She dodges the tackle, but it is hit by an electrical attack. She was pushed back by the attack, as she teleported out. She reappeared and grabs him. She gives him a kiss, which stuns Pikachu. He felt his energy being drained as he shocks her hard.
She releases him as both of them stare at each other. Her orders were becoming somewhat… dark. She looked at her mistress with concern.
"Gar?"
"Do it."
She closes her eyes and concentrated on creating a mass of dark energy. Pikachu sensed something was way off about it. Then he felt he was being pulled by it. He realized what she is trying to do and why she was hesitant.
Pikachu was hitting some few electric attacks but was being sucked in. He tried to find a way to take her out until he heard the order to dig. He dug into the ground fast.
Gardevoir stopped for a moment and looked around. She sensed where it was coming and teleported out. She reappeared, but all came out was a large thunderbolt. She was surprised how powerful it was but then was hit by the electric mouse. She staggered back, and then was hit again with a steel tail.
She backed off and panted for a bit.
Pikachu looked on and felt concern for her. He waited to see if she will continue. She then looked up and released another volley of dark energy. He dodges some of it and noticed how weak they look. He turned his tail into metal again and hits one of the energy balls back.
She dodges it and then was hit by another tackle. She groaned in pain as she felt a jolt on her body. Moment as he was ready to attack, he stopped and noticed she was on her knees. She raised her arm and tried to attack, but winced from it.
She just couldn't attack and felt her powers going weaker. She looked back at her mistress and begged her to stop as she can't battle anymore.
"Gar…"
"I said attack!"
She refused to attack, and started to cry as Ash frowned.
"She can't attack. Her power depends on your emotions. She can't stand negative ones."
"Shut up!"
The ground shook a bit as her aura of psychic energy was shown more. Gardevoir grew frightened of the feeling as she sent herself back to her Pokéball.
Ash signalled his Pikachu to return. The referee decided not to make a call.
"Sabrina, you are holding years of anger and resentment. Let this go, or it will make things worse."
"You don't understand what I went through!" Her psychic powers were being shown as she summoned another Pokémon out. Out came a yellow humanoid Pokémon with two spoons.
"Then let me understand. Let me know why you shut off your emotions, Sabrina."
He summoned his last Pokémon out. Out came a ghost Pokémon, though they sensed he was older and stronger.
"Kazam."
"ALAKAZAM, the Psi Pokémon, and the evolved form of KADABRA. Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its I.Q. is said to be 5000. NERD!" Dex was upset as none of its taunts had affected the opponents.
Giselle was stunned. "Did Gastly also..?"
Misty nodded. "Yep. He evolved too, though he did it a few days ago just after they started training."
Haunter looks at the Alakazam. "I sense your stronger bond with the woman. Yet I feel confliction at this point." He looked up at the woman who was losing control of herself.
"You hold resentment from the past. You hold back your powers so much that it is bottled up."
"Try having your father, each day telling you to 'bend the spoon, lift objects, concentrate, read their minds' hour after hour, day after day, month after month, year after year! He kept getting worse and worse!" She was losing her power to control her emotions.
"I ended him after the last hit I could take! He was a monster! How would you understand? How would you understand the pain of being used for your powers only?! Of being an experiment to someone who was supposed to love and care for you?!"
He looked at her and replied "I have been tossed around to be used for my powers. It wasn't until I was taken in by my loving mistress who took care of me. She showed me how to care for others and I have been loyal to her for well over eighteen hundred years until my new master came by."
Alakazam released a powerful psychic attack on the ghost Pokémon. Haunter sighed and he managed to grab it. This shocked both of them.
"I have survived worse. I have lived thousands of years of not only protecting my mistress but battling Pokémon. You are no different than what I faced. I am stronger now that I evolved."
He absorbs it.
Sabrina took this chance to end this whole thing by using her psychic energy to penetrate his mind. Ash felt a huge power trying to invade his mind as he was being lifted up by her mind.
"Ash!" The girls yelled.
The young Aura user pushed his aura to his max and was able to push her out. Once that was done, he accidently went into her mind.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside of Sabrina's mind….
He landed on his feet in a room. He looked around and found the room with decaying boards, a broken window, and various portraits of people screaming in fear.
"What the hell are you doing in my house?!"
He turned around and found Sabrina in the place. Although this one was filled with emotion.
"I accidently ended up here. Considering you tried to invade my mind for whatever reason it was, consider this as a way for me to heal you."
"I don't need any healing!"
He went up to her. "You do. What happened to you was mean and horrible. No one deserves it."
She looked down "I bet your father treated you like a pampered prince."
"My father died before I was born."
This surprised her look.
"I had to depend on another method of training and my mother did the majority of my training. I thank her every day for it. You see… I'm the last of the Aura users."
This shocked her to the core "You? That actually makes sense. No wonder you can deal with my powers…"
"It took a lot of energy for me to deal with you. Although, you are still way stronger than me."
"But… You invaded my mind."
He sat down on a chair "Your powers rely on something else and that is control. You lost it during the battle when you showed your emotions and your mind became wide open."
She sighed and sat as well "I must be weak then… my father is right."
"No. Your father is wrong." He held her hand "You just need a different approach to your training. Maybe some help from your mother?"
She looked at him "I turned my mother into a doll."
This brought a bit of worry for him "Is she alive?"
"Yes. I kept her alive."
He then looked into her eyes "Maybe...you need to free her. She can help you out."
"W-what if she hates me?" The dark haired woman became nervous.
Ash squeezed her hand gently "She won't. Trust me…"
All she could do is nod, "Okay… I trust you…" and everything went dark.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Back outside
Ash looked around and saw he was back in the battlefield. He found Alakazam out cold, while Haunter was still floating. The referee makes the call.
"A-Alakazam c-cannot b-battle. Th-the winner is H-Haunter. A-Ash Ketchum wins… Please don't kill me Miss Sabrina!
Ash saw Sabrina lying unconscious on the ground. He immediately went over to check on her. Just as he arrived, he saw her opening her eyes.
"Sabrina, are you alright?"
She looked around and found Ash looking at her. She nodded as she went over to the throne on the Gym Leader's side of the battlefield. Beside it sat a dollhouse. She reached in and withdrew a doll with brown hair and a yellow dress. She concentrated her psychic energy on the doll, causing it to glow with an ethereal aura. Soon after, a woman with curly brown hair in a yellow sundress appeared. She looked around for a moment and saw a young woman standing in front of her that looked very familiar.
"Sabrina?"
"Ma-mama?"
She then was surprised with a hug as she began to cry.
"I'm so sorry mama! Please don't hate me for what I did to you..."
"It's okay Sabrina… It's okay. Mama is here for you. Mama will never leave her baby girl alone again…"
To be continued…
