Episode 35: Little Sister Vs. Kadabra: Psychic Showdown
Late in the night, Hana and her friends are sleeping in the Pokemon Center. Hana is sleeping on her bed with Pikachu, Cubone, and Meloetta. Akira is the same, but with Alistair and Winnie. And Diana has Ember and Pichu. All four trainers and their Pokemon are fast asleep for the night. Unknown to them a mysterious being is inside their room. The mysterious being has glowing blue eyes and is staring at Hana as she sleeps.
The being softly says, "So… this is the girl he wants me to keep an eye on."
The creature reaches what looks like a three digit hand to Hana's head. But then stops to see Hana's head move in her sleep. She then turns her and places her hand on Cubone's head and rubs it a bit. The mysterious being continues to start at the girl and reaches its hand until it's placed on her head. The mysterious being continues to stare at Hana for only he knows the reason, but doesn't fully understand.
"Maybe someday, you and I shall met," A mysterious voice adds.
The next day, Hana and the others arrive at a large white building that is being cleared from the fog. There are multiple curves on the roof.
"So this is the Saffron City Gym. It sure looks like an interesting building," Hana says.
"You can say that again. I've never seen a gym like that before. Then again, Morty's gym is specially made because he uses ghost type," Diana says.
"Yeah. We've seen gyms that are specially designed because of the type of Pokemon that are used," Chase says.
Akira turns to Hana, "So you ready?"
"Of course I am. After all, if I can't win the Marsh Badge, I can't get into the Pokemon League," Hana says
The group enters the building to see large orange yellowish walls
Hana calls out, "Anyone here?"
So far, they don't see anyone inside.
"That's weird. There doesn't seem to be anyone here," Akira says.
The group then begins to walk down the hall.
Hana calls out, "Hello? Anyone here?"
"There's something creepy about this place," Diana says.
The group then stops to see a door. They decide to look through the window to see if anyone's there. To everyone's surprise, they see a bunch of people wearing lab coats and appear to be working on something. Two men are working with picture cards. At a different table, a woman is practicing bending spoons without using her hands.
"What kind of place is this?" Diana asks.
"I don't know, but it looks like some kind of class that teaches people how to use psychic abilities," Hana says.
Suddenly, someone walks over and says, "You are correct, young miss. What are you and your friends doing here?"
The group turns their heads to see a man wearing a white lab coat and has a white face mask on. He has long brown hair with spiky bangs.
Hana answers, "We've come to ask for a Pokemon match, to earn a Marsh badge."
"You two wish to challenge the great Sabrina?" The man asks.
"Sure do," Hana says.
"Excuse me, but are those people really practicing psychic abilities like Hana said?" Diana asks.
The man replies, "Humph. You know so little and yet you wish to challenge the great Sabrina."
He then holds out a spoon leaving everyone confused. He then concentrates on the spoon so hard that his face turns red. Finally changes back when it finally bends.
"Is something wrong? You look like you've got a headache," Akira asks.
"I don't think so. It looks like he's trying to use telekinesis to me," Hana says.
"You are correct, young one. You can't control a psychic-type Pokemon completely without using telekinetic powers," The man says.
Diana turns to Hana, "Sounds like it will be perfect for you since you've been learning psychic since you were little."
"I suppose," Hana says.
The man looks at Hana, "You look like someone who is well knowledgeable of Telekinetic powers."
He then gives Hana a spoon.
Confused, Hana asks, "You want me to bend it."
The man nods his head.
"Okay," Hana says.
Hana looks at the spoon and concentrates her psychic abilities on it. In the matter of seconds, the spoon bends all the fact, the spoon snaps. Diana and the others clap for her at her accomplishment.
"Wow! Great job Hana," Diana says.
"Yeah. And on your first try," Chase says.
"Thanks. Alakazam taught me how to do stuff like that since I was seven," Hana says.
"I guess it's not a surprise since you have Psychic Pokemon as teachers," Akira says.
The man looks at Hana and thinks, "Hmm, the girl is very impressive. She was able to bend the spoon and snap it. She might be close to the same level as Sabrina. I have to say she worked with Psychic Pokemon before."
Hana asks, "Excuse me sir, but um, can we see Sabrina now?"
"As you wish," The man says.
Soon, the man leads them to a pair of large doors and opens them as he says, "Here we are."
The group enters inside to see the place looks rather dark, and there are two bowls of fire in front. There are a few pillars.
"This is more like some kind of temple then a Pokemon gym," Chase says.
Diana wraps her arms around herself, "Whatever it's like, I don't like it."
"I've never seen a place like this before," Akira says.
Suddenly, Hana begins to get a chill up her spin and wraps her arms around herself.
"Something doesn't feel right and I'm not feeling good all of the sudden," Hana says.
The man walks towards the other side of the gym and bows down, "Oh, great Sabrina! You have a trainer who wishes to challenge you."
Suddenly, little Sabrina appears as she sits on a chair that is holding a Pokeball in her hands. This leaves the trainers in shock.
"Sabrina?" Hana asks, shocked.
"Wait… you're Sabrina the Gym leader?" Akira asks, shocked.
The little girl looks at the group of friends with her eyes glowing red. Suddenly, the man begins to writhe in pain as a blue aura glows around him. The group gasps in shock to see what she is doing.
Hana screams, "Sabrina, stop it!"
Sabrina listens to Hana and she stops. Then the man runs out of the room in a panic.
Diana worriedly says, "Hana, there's something strange about that girl."
"Right, what kind of girl is she?" Chase asks.
Hana walks forward and asks, "Sabrina, are you really the Gym Leader?"
Sabrina simply giggles.
Hana calmly says, "Sabrina, I like to have an official match to compete for a Marsh badges!"
Little Sabrina nods her head, "I'd like to have a match with you."
"Thank you," Hana says.
"But if you lose, you have to be friends and let me play with you," Sabrina says.
"Um… okay. You bet," Hana says, sounding unsure.
Hana thinks, "Lucario is right, she's no normal girl.
Suddenly, Akira and the others become shocked.
"Hana, be careful not to let your guard down," Akira says.
The group turns their heads to see the gate separating Sabrina and the others lifts. Then the light trunks on to reveal the young woman that resembles the little girl very well. Only wears a red outfit with black shoes.
The young woman says, "So, now. Time for us to play."
The group gasps in shock to see the young woman that has the little girl on her lap. Then hears the door slam shut.
Hana soon realizes, "So, you're really Sabrina, the gym leader."
Suddenly, Sabrina levitates herself from the throne and onto the battlefield. And then the lights turn on to light up the battlefield.
The grown Sabrina says, "One on one. An all out match. Agreed?"
"Agreed!" Hana says.
Then little Sabrina says, "Also, I like to have a battle with one of your Kirlias. I want to have a Psychic battle. Psychic vs. Psychic. You get to choose which Kirla you can use."
Hana is also surprised that Sabrina makes that request. It will go against what she has planned. Then again, she remembers using Vivillon and Haunter for the battle the day before.
"Okay," Hana says.
Then little Sabrina lets go of the Pokeball and it begins to levitate.
The grown Sabrina calls out, "Come out, Abra."
The Pokeball is thrown forward and Abra comes out of Sabrina's Pokeball. Abra is a bipedal Pokémon that is primarily yellow. Its face is kite-shaped with a small, pale yellow snout and two short, pointed ears with pale yellow interiors. Its wide eyes are normally closed. Abra's body is segmented with black skin visible between its joints and along its neck. It has two brown, pauldron-shaped extensions on its shoulders, as well as a brown, fauld-like piece around its chest. It has three digits on each hand and foot, but its fingers are considerably shorter than its toes. Two of its toes face forward and one faces backward. Its tail is thick and long, with a brown band located near the tip.
Hana then brings out her Pokeball, "Little Sister. I choose you!"
The Pokeball opens and reveals Little Sister.
"Kirlia," (I'm ready.) Little Sister says.
Hana says, "Alright Little Sister, go."
"Kirli," (Right.) Little Sister says.
Little Sister hurries to Sabria and is ready to battle. So far, Abra is not moving.
Abra says, "Abra."
"Kirli?" (Huh?) Little Sister says, confused.
She circles around Abra to see if it will battle. Again, it's not moving an inch.
Little Sister turns to Hana, "Kirlia Kirlia. Kirlia," (Something up. Abra's not moving.)
"I don't… get it," Hana says, bringing out her Pokedex.
Dexter says, "Abra, a psychic power Pokemon. It sleeps eighteen hours a day, but deploys telekinesis, even while sleeping."
"I guess it's up for battle even in its sleep," Hana says.
Then calls out, "Little Sister, use Shadow Ball!"
Little Sister then begins to perform the attack. Suddenly, Sabrina's eyes glow red and Abra opens its eyes a little turning red. Little Sister then throws the Shadow Ball, but Abra teleports.
Hana exclaims, "Abra teleported."
Then Abra appears behind Littler Sister, making her panic.
Sabrina then says, "Childish fools."
Then a light blue aura surrounds her body. Then Abra begins to glow and change its shape. Soon it's a primarily yellow, humanoid Pokémon. It has two long, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, narrow, deep-set eyes, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur; a male will have a longer mustache than a female. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines, abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Two of its toes face forward and one backward, and holds a silver spoon. The group gasps in shock to see the Pokemon.
"Abra evolved," Hana exclaims.
Diana brings out her Pokedex, and Dexter says, "Kadabra, a psychic Pokemon. The evolved form of Abra. It employs powerful telekinetic attacks."
"I need to be careful, Kadabra looks strong," Hana says.
"You're right. That Kadabra looks very powerful," Chase says.
"I know," Hana says.
Then calls out, "Little Sister, Dazzling Gleam!"
Little Sister then begins to perform Dazzling Gleam and aims it towards Kadabra. Suddenly, Kadabra's eyes glow red and suddenly is able to control the attack, leaving everyone shocked.
Hana exclaims, "Don't tell me…"
Then Sabrina calls out, "Confusion."
Kadabra is able to control the Dazzling Gleam and aim it towards Little Sister.
Hana uses her own psychic ability and uses telepathy to Little Sister, "Little Sister, use teleport!"
Little Sister is able to teleport just in time before the Dazzling Gleam can hit. Then appears behind Kadabra.
Then calls out, "Use Shadow Ball!"
Little Sister is able to use Shadow Ball and strike at Kadabra's back. Sabrina becomes surprised as Kadabra slides on the battlefield. It turns behind to see Little Sister.
"Something's off with that girl. Her eyes are emotionless and doesn't seem to care that it almost strikes at Kirlia with Dazzling Gleam," Hana thinks.
Suddenly, Sabrina calls out, "Use Psychic."
Before Little Sister can react, Kadabra levitates her up and begins to slam her on the ceiling. Then slams her to the ground, causing the trainers to gasp in shock.
"What are you doing?!" Diana exclaims.
"Stop it now!" Chase shouts.
Then Kadabra does it again, making Little Sister scream. Hana is stunned to see Sabrina is having Kadabra doing this. Just then, Kadabra uses its psycho powers to throw Little Sister across the field and to the wall.
Hana gasps, "Sis!"
Hana then reaches her Sister and catches her in the nick of time, but also ends up getting slammed to the wall.
"Hana!" Everyone exclaims.
"Pika Pi!" (Hana!) Pikachu exclaims.
Sabrina is also shocked to see what Hana has done for her Pokemon. She saved it and ends up getting hurt in the process.
Hana groans as she looks down to see her sister, "Are… are you okay?"
"Kirli Kirlia, Kirl Kirlia?" Forget about me, what about you?" Kiria panics.
"I'm okay. Remember, I took a lot of hits worse than this," Hana says.
Suddenly, Little Brother hurries out of his Pokeball and rushes to his sister.
"Kirlia. Kirlia. Kirlia Kirlia?" (Hana. Little Sis. Are you both alright?) Little Brother asks, concerned.
"I'm okay," Hana says, and lifts herself up.
Suddenly, she hears little Sabrina giggles, making the others turn their heads to her.
"It's no use, you cannot defeat me," The grown Sabrina says.
"And now I'll turn you all into my new dolls," Little Sabra says and giggles.
"Dolls?!" The four friends exclaim in shock.
"That's what you mean being your friends," Chase asks.
Hana shouts, "Are you nuts?"
"If you remain as you are, you'll just run away. You'll have to be dolls. We'll play together all the time, and we'll all be friends forever," Little Sabrina says with a giggle.
This really ticks Little Sister off, and she shouts in anger, "Kirlia Kirlia Kirli Kirlia!" (I'm not going to let you turn my sister into a doll!)
Then jumps back on the battlefield.
"I think she's upset," Diana replies, seeing the obvious.
"No kidding," Chase and Akira reply.
Hana walks to the battlefield, "I don't think my sister likes the idea of you turning me to a doll."
"Kirlia Kirlia Kirli, Kirlia Kirli Kirlia Kirlia," (If you want to get my sister, you'll have to beat me first.) Little Sister says.
"My sister is pumped up now," Hana says.
Then asks her sister, "Ready sis?"
"Kirli," (I'm ready.) Little Sister says.
Suddenly, Little Sister begins to glow. Hana, Pikachu, Little Brother, and the others become shocked to see what is happening. Including Sabrina and Kadabra. Little Sister begins to grow taller and her tutu is turning into a kind of dress, and the hair likeness is getting shorter.
Soon Little Sister transforms into a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon whose body resembles a flowing gown. Most of her body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of her gown are blue. Her hair curls over her face and down the sides of her head. Behind her red eyes are short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. She has long arms with three fingers on each hand and slender white legs. A horn, fin-like horn extends from its chest, and a shorter, more rounded horn extends from the back. A blue band on her chest extends to the center of the front horn and connects to its sleeve-like arms.
Little Sister calls out, "Gardevoir!"
"Little Sister," Hana says, surprised.
Then smiles, "You evolved."
Pikachu, Little Brother, and the others are amazed.
"Wow! Little Sister evolved to Gardevoir," Chase says.
Akira brings out his Pokedex App and scans her.
Dexter says, "Gardevoir, the Embrace Pokémon. Gardevoir will use all of its psychic energy to protect a Trainer it has made a deep connection with."
Little Brother cheers, "Kirlia Kirlia." You go, sis!"
"Pi Pikachu!" (You can beat her!) Pikachu calls out.
Alistair and Winnie cheer too.
Hana who is holding her Pokedex says, "And it seems you learned a new move."
Hana then calls out, "Alright sis, use Shadow Ball!"
Gardevoir then begins to use Shadow Ball and throws it at Kadabra
Sabrina calls out, "Kadabra, teleport!"
Kadabra teleports itself away from the blast. Little Sister continues to perform more, but Kadabra continues to dodge the attack.
Sabrina then says, "Kadabra, Psybeam."
Kadabra then teleports in front of Little Sister and begins the attack.
Hana calls out, "Little Sister, dodge!"
Little Sister dodges the attack and lands in front of Hana.
Hana uses her telekinesis to talk to her sister, "Okay sis, I think it's time to use our new move. We need to keep Kadabra busy till then."
Little Sister then uses her psychic attack, but nothing happens.
"Little Sister, Dazzling Gleam," Hana calls out.
Little Sister then performs the attack to strike at Kadabra with full force and Kadabra feels the powerful attack.
Sabrina says, "Kadabra, recover."
Hana and Little Sister are surprised that Kadabra can use that attack.
Sabrina says, "It's impossible to win."
"We'll see about that," Hana says.
Then calls out, "Little sister, use Shadow Ball."
Little Sister continues to use Shadow Ball, but Kadabra continues to dodge the attack. Sabrina and Hana watch as their Pokemon continue their attack. Suddenly, when Kadabra stands in the middle of the battlefield. Hana uses her psychic to tell Little Sister that it's time for their new move to take effect.
Hana then calls out, "Now Little Sister, Future Sight!"
Suddenly, four vortexes appear around Kadabra as Little Sister moves, leaving the group, especially Sabrina and Kadabra in shock. Then the Future Sight begins to attack Kadabra with full force and zap Kadabra that causes an explosion.
Sabrina calls out, "Kadabra."
When the smoke clears, Kadara has swirls from its eyes and has fainted.
"We… won," Hana says.
Hana smiles and runs to her sister to give her a hug, "We did it."
Little Sister hugs her back and says with a smile, "Gardevoir," (We sure did.)
Sabrina walks to Kadabra and kneels to it, "Are you okay, Kadabra?"
Kadabra soon regains consciousness and nods its head.
Sabrina then begins to smile a little, "You did a good job."
Sabrina turns to Hana and says, "You did a great job. What an amazing Psychic Battle."
"Yeah. We had a lot of fun," Little Sabrina says.
Hana smiles and says, "Thanks."
Suddenly, Haunter comes out of his Pokeball and flies to them, especially Sabrina.
"What is it doing?" Sabrina asks.
"Sorry Sabrina, Haunter along with two of his friends are well, mischievous," Hana says.
Then Haunter begins to make crazy faces to make Sabrina laugh or at least crack a smile. He then licks his face off and sticks it out of his tongue. Suddenly, Haunter brings out a bomb from his mouth. Sabrina, Hana, and Little Sister are stunned to see the bomb in front of them and explode, making them get covered in dust and debris. Haunter then begins laughing. And then the unexpected happens, Sabrina then begins to show a smile on her face. And then, Sabrina begins to laugh. Since Kadabra is connected with telepathy, it begins to laugh too. Soon, Hana and Little Sister begin to laugh too. Diana and the others soon become confused. Then, they all begin laughing as well. Haunter then begins to make funny faces making the four laugh even more. Little Sabrina begins to smile and suddenly disappears into thin air, dropping the Pokeball in the process.
Diana and the others stop laughing to see the little girl disappear.
"What was that?" Akira asks.
"Where'd she go?" Diana asks.
Hana, Sabrina and their Pokemon stop laughing.
Hana then says, "If I have to guess. That little Sabrina, isn't real. Sabrina the Gym Leader is really the true Sabrina."
"It seems you figured it out, huh young lady?" A man's voice says.
Everyone turns their heads to see the man wearing the green jacket and wears a yellow hat, and has a dark blue beard. He removes the hat to reveal the blue hair. Seeing the man surprises everyone, especially Sabrina. Soon the Gym Leader begins to shed tears.
She runs to the man as she cries out, "Daddy!"
The man and Sabrina then hug each other.
Tears fall from Sabrina's face as she says, "Oh daddy."
"Oh Sabrina," The man says.
"Did she say, daddy?" Diana asks.
"I think so. If I have to guess, he's been here the entire time. I sensed a strange presence, but now I know who it is," Hana says.
They all turn to see the two hugging each other.
"Oh, my little girl is back," The man says.
"Yes. She is," A woman's voice says.
Everyone turns their heads to see a woman that has brown hair and blue eyes. She is wearing a pink skirt, light green shirt and an orange blouse jacket.
The woman smiles and says, "Sabrina! Honey!"
"Mommy!" Sabrina cries out.
"Dear!" The man cries out as well.
Soon, the group of three are in a group hug, making Hana and her sister, brother, and Pikachu smile. Diana and the others smile as well.
After the battle and the happy reunion, Hana and her friends, Pikachu, and her Siblings are with Sabrina and two two adults who are really Sabrina's parents.
Sabrina's father explains to them what happened, "You see, Sabrina was always born with Psychic abilities and had taken up Psychic training at a young age. Though she was very young, Sabrina became obsessed with her psychic training. She didn't want to make friends. All she wanted was to be left alone to develop her power. We tried to help, but Sabrina used her psychic powers to drive us away.
"I guess it explains a lot. The psychic training took Sabrina over. When you try to help, Sabrina ends up turning her mom into a doll, like what she tried to do to us," Hana says.
"That sounds so lonely," Diana sadly says.
"The conflict caused Sabrina to split into two girls. The strong Pokemon trainer who is always causing trouble, and the lonely little girl who desperately desires to make friends," Sabrina dad adds.
"So the little girl Sabrina that we hung out with was really a doll. And it shows us Sabrina's true self before she began her psychic training, and before it took over her life," Hana sadly says.
"Yes, before she rejected her own heart," Sabrina dad adds.
Hana and the others turn to Sabrina.
"You wanted us to stay with you because you wanted friends. That's why you hung out with us after what happened at the Silph Company," Chase replies.
Sabrina nods her head and says, "I spent so much with my training and being Gym Leader, I thought that I can use my doll to spend time with you. I never knew what it was like to have friends."
Hana nods her head and understands.
Then Sabrina says, "Listen, I'm sorry for what happened, but I ended up having a great battle with you. Kadabra and I had a wonderful time. I guess I was also a little jealous of you Hana. You having psychic abilities never stopped you from becoming friends with these trainers. Unlike me."
She frowns and says, "I ended up becoming an incredible Psychic trainer, and no friends."
Hana smiles, "Well, you have one. If you like."
Then presents her hand to Sabrina.
Sabrina smiles and takes Hana's hand, "I would like that."
The two then shake hands. Little Sister and Kadabra do the same. Then they let go of each other's hands.
Sabrina then presents Hana a badge that is a two concentric golden circles, "As proof of defeating me and everything you've done for me and my family, I present you with the Marsh Badge."
Hana smiles and says, "Thanks Sabrina."
Hana takes the badge and gives her sister a high-five.
"You did great, Hana," Akira says.
"And you're halfway there," Diana says.
"And next stop is Celadon City," Chase says.
"Pika," (Yeah.) Pikachu says.
Little Brother walks to Hana and says, "Kirlia," Kirl Kirli Kirlia Kirlia?" (Yeah. But before that, you remember right?)
"Don't worry, I remember," Hana says. Then takes out a Dawn Stone.
Diana asks, "What are you planning to do?"
"Well, me and my brother and sister decided that when Little Sister evolves to her final evolution, Little Brother likes to evolve too," Hana says.
Then presents the stone to Little Brother. Little Brother takes possession of the stone and begins to glow and change. Soon, Little brother evolves.
Now he's a white, bipedal Pokémon. Its lower body consists of rounded hips with strong legs. It has a thin dark blue torso with sharp, orange horns sticking out of its chest and back. Its arms are shaped like tonfas with extendable blades in its elbows. Its head resembles a gladiator's helmet with a white face, red eyes and a gray head crest. It has spikes on the sides of its face.
Little Brother calls out, "Gallade."
"And now your brother is a Gallade," Diana says.
Then uses her Pokedex, Dexter says, "Gallade, the Blade Pokémon, and the evolved form of Kirlia. Gallade extends its elbows as if they were swords, and when protecting someone, it fights fiercely."
Hana smiles and glad both of her Pokemon evolve.
A short time later, Hana and her friends leave Saffron City as they wave goodbye to Sabrina and her parents and they thank Hana and her friends for helping them out. As they leave the outskirts of the city, Hana looks at the Mash badge she has won and is only half way until she gets to the Pokemon League. As the journey continues.
