Chapter 15

My Shirona

Sabrina appeared in a room by herself. She looked around, seeing unfamiliar surroundings. Did I somehow teleport to the wrong place? she thought.

No, you didn't, Sabrina heard a voice say. She then saw Shirona teleport into the room.

You have come here from Saffron City, because you want my help, Shirona said telepathically.

That is correct, Sabrina said.

You also think you're a more powerful psychic than me, Shirona said.

I don't just think that; that's the truth, Sabrina said.

You're mistaken, Shirona said. There is no more powerful psychic than me.

Are you going to help me or not? Sabrina said angrily.

Considering you need my help, that pretty much proves my point, Shirona said.

Sabrina pulled out a Poké Ball in anger. You really don't want to battle me, do you? she asked Shirona.

One on one battle, Shirona said.

Fine, Sabrina said. Go, Mewtwo.

Go, Milotic, Shirona said.

You're a psychic and you won't even use a Psychic Pokémon? Sabrina said. Shameful.

It's a real shame if you lose to someone with a Mewtwo, as you're about to, Shirona said. Hydro Pump, Milotic!

Psychic, Mewtwo, Sabrina said.

Milotic's Hydro Pump hit Mewtwo hard, while Mewtwo still managed to throw Milotic into a wall with its Psychic attack.

Recover, Milotic, Shirona said.

Shirona's Milotic started to flash, and it suddenly was back at full health.

Blizzard, Mewtwo, Sabrina said.

Mewtwo shot ice towards Milotic, but it had little effect.

Hydro Pump again, Shirona said.

Mewtwo was hit by another Hydro Pump. It then came back with another Psychic attack, throwing Milotic into a wall again.

Recover again, Shirona said.

As Milotic recovered its health again, Sabrina realized Mewtwo was getting nowhere in the battle against Shirona's repetitive strategy. She tried something different.

Hydro Pump, Shirona said.

Stop that water with your Psychic attack! Sabrina said.

Mewtwo held back the water blast coming towards it.

Now release it, while using Psychic on Milotic! Sabrina said.

Mewtwo released the water while grabbing Milotic. Milotic felt the full blow of the water blast while getting thrown hard into the wall.

Recover, Shirona said.

Milotic was too stunned to move at the moment, including to use its Recover move, giving Mewtwo another opportunity.

Psychic again, Sabrina said.

Mewtwo grabbed Milotic psychically, throwing it up into the air, having it hit the ceiling, before it crashed to the ground, unconscious.

You win, Shirona said, calling back her Milotic. Apparently you are something else.

Thank you, Sabrina said, calling back her Mewtwo.

Now I will come with you to Saffron City to help you, Shirona said. What you need help with requires more than one psychic.

Sabrina and Shirona both focused their minds on Saffron City, then teleported into the living room of Sabrina's house.

Shirona, Will said, seeing the woman next to Sabrina.

You're Will, Sabrina's boyfriend, Shirona said.

Sabrina blushed. You could say that, she said.

A friend of ours, Liza, has had her personality removed from her, Will said. We need your help.

I know that, Shirona said. Who do you think I am?

Sabrina led the other two up the stairs to Liza's room, seeing Liza standing there with her Lunatone.

You don't want to play, so you're going to fight, Liza said.

Focus your mind on Liza's body, and I'll focus mine on the doll, Shirona said. We can bring them back together. Will, you use one of your Pokémon to fight that Lunatone while we do this.

Okay, Will said.

Will sent out his Xatu. Use Psychic to stop that Lunatone, he said.

Liza's Lunatone was also using Psychic against Will's Xatu. At the same time, Sabrina and Shirona were focusing their minds on Liza and her doll, trying to get her personality restored to her. After much struggle, Liza's personality returned.

"What happened?" Liza said.

"It's so good to see you're all right," Sabrina said, hugging Liza.

"You got too into psychic training, and you lost your mind," Will said. "You can't do that anymore."

"I'm sorry," Liza said.

"I think that we should take a break from this training," Sabrina said. "We need your help."

"There are ghosts somewhere in the Pokémon world causing trouble," Will said. "They're not Ghost Pokémon, they're actual people who turned themselves into ghosts."

"There may only be one ghost," Shirona said. "One ghost can cause a lot of havoc."

"How can we find them?" Liza asked.

"We must all focus our minds together on sensing ghosts," Shirona said. "If we do, one of us may be able to sense a ghost's presence."

The psychics all focused their minds together, trying to channel a ghostly presence. Sabrina then started to feel something.

"There's a ghost in Olivine City," Sabrina said. "I feel some sort of presence there."

"I can feel it too," Shirona said. "It must be stopped."

"Let's teleport there now," Sabrina said.

"I'm sorry," Shirona said, "but I have to go back to Sinnoh… I have some battling to do there."

"The three of us can go, then," Sabrina said.

"Wait a minute, I can't teleport," Will said.

"Come on, Will, just focus," Sabrina said. "It's not much different from trying to channel a spirit... I know you can do it."

"I'll see you some other time," Shirona said. "So long."

"Good-bye, and thank you," Sabrina said.

Shirona teleported away. In the meantime, Will began to focus his mind on Olivine City. He started to feel some sort of power. He struggled with his mind, with his face turning red as he tried to focus. Finally, he disappeared from Sabrina and Liza's sight.

"Is he in Olivine City?" Liza asked.

"Yes," Sabrina said. "I'm so happy for him. Let's go meet him."

Sabrina and Liza then teleported to Olivine City to meet up with Will, who was thrilled over the first teleportation of his life.
