A/N: Hello to all I am back with the fourth installment of "Black Rose". In this chapter, Erika and Sabrina discuss the situation with another popular character.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon

In her mansion garden, Erika was patiently waiting in a pink kimono. She knew her girlfriend would be arriving any moment but, what she didn't know was Erika had a secret when she arrived.

"I hope Sabrina is okay." said Gloom worried.

"Sabrina is a very strong person. Even the strongest psychic trainers respect her power after all." answered Erika.

"Hello." said Sabrina having just teleported to the garden.

"Hello hon." replied Erika who shared a kiss with her love.

"I'm really sorry I failed you." said Sabrina in a position most unusual for her.

"You could never fail me." replied Erika smiling, "Now, please explain what happened."

"Okay." sighed Sabrina sitting, "It began after I first told you I would come out. I tried but, I got nervous and was unable to fulfill this goal."

"She stated her disdain for nervousness claiming it was weak." added Kadabra.

"It's true." replied Sabrina bitterly.

"Your emotions are not weakness. They're what make you a human and there's nothing wrong with that. Please, don't seal yourself off ever again." said Erika hugging Sabrina.

"You're right." said Sabrina calming down a bit.

"Now then, was that the only time?" asked Erika.

"No, I did try a second time right before I called you." answered Sabrina.

"Please, tell us what happened then." requested Gloom.

"I tried telling my father the second time but, I thought of what might happen if he rejects me and...I couldn't." explained Sabrina her voice shaking.

"I'm so sorry. I know the fear of rejection must be terrifying but, you can't let your fear stop you." said Erika.

"You really think my parents will accept me?" asked Sabrina.

"Plenty of parents do. My parents did." answered Erika optimistic.

"You really are lucky." sighed Sabrina trying to calm herself back down.

"So are you. You just don't realize it." replied Erika smiling.

"I truly believe you're giving in to your own paranoia." said Kadabra.

"You are probably right." admitted Sabrina.

"Are you feeling better?" asked Erika.

"I always feel fine around you." answered Sabrina.

"How sweet." cooed Gloom as the two girls shared a kiss.

"A romantic like her trainer." said Kadabra at the reaction by his fellow Pokemon.

"Now then, we need to figure out what our next course of action should be." said Erika determined.

"True. I am ready to cave and admit I need help." replied Sabrina defeated.

"It's never wrong to ask for help." said Kadabra.

"You're right. It's just...I've always been so strong. I am not used to having to depend on others. I'm not used to any kind of weakness." said Sabrina.

"Getting help doesn't make you weak it means you are struggling and need help." replied Gloom.

"Gloom makes a correct point, which is I why believe we need someone to help us." said Erika.

"That's really not necessary!" cried Sabrina not wanting more people to know her secret.

"Don't worry Sabrina. It's somebody we can trust." replied Erika as a maid entered the garden.

"Miss Erika, your other guest has arrived." said the woman.

"Great. Please let her in." smiled Erika.

"We can find another." protested Sabrina.

"Hi guys!" called Misty as she headed toward her friends.

"I told you we can trust her." said Erika.

"Hello Misty." said Sabrina accepting what she knew she couldn't fight.

"How much did Erika tell you?" asked Kadabra.

"She told me you two needed help with your relationship." answered Misty, "I heard the rumors but, I just figured it was none of my business. Personally, I am happy you've both found each other."

"Thanks." said Sabrina happy to hear someone say those words.

"So, how long have you two been together?" asked Togetic knowing it's trainer wondered the same thing.

"Not that long now. Sabrina only realized she was bisexual when we began dating and I've know I was gay a year before you, Brock and Ash visited my gym. Sabrina first felt feelings for me when she came to my store to buy perfume for her mother and when I visited Saffron City I visited her. Sabrina showed up at the store where I was selling my perfume and we kissed." answered Erika.

"You don't need to tell her everything." said Sabrina.

"I'm just be honest." shrugged Erika.

"Besides, you're love isn't the one cross-dressing." said Misty as all girls and Pokemon shard a laugh.

"I must admit, when I first saw "Ashley" I really thought she was cute." confessed Erika.

"He's done it since." noted Togetic.

"So, back on topic." said Kadabra.

"Right, now the problem we are having is Sabrina is concerned about coming out as bisexual to her parents." said Erika.

"It's really not easy." confessed Sabrina.

"I've heard that before." replied Misty.

"She has tried twice and failed due to her fear." added Gloom recounting what had already been discussed.

"What exactly do you fear will happen?" asked Misty.

"My parents will disown me." answered Sabrina nervous.

"It's weird to see you having such a confidence problem." noted Misty.

"First time we met Sabrina turned you and Brock into dolls and almost got Ash as well." added Kadabra.

"That was after I had shrunk you three and stuck you in my doll house." noted Sabrina.

"You're such a powerful trainer even Lucian and Caitlin of the Elite Four respect you." said Erika.

"That's true." admitted Sabrina.

"Exactly. The Sabrina I first met was a strong and confident girl who wouldn't rattle. I'm not saying you should turn people into dolls again or shut yourself off emotionally again but, you can't live in fear of how others think." said Misty.

"You are right. I am Sabrina, gym leader of Saffron City and one of the strongest psychic trainers in the Pokemon League. I shouldn't worry about what others think of me, I've proven myself already!" declared Sabrina jumping out of her seat.

"There's the girl I feel for." said Erika happily, "Misty, you have been a great help."

"Yes. Thank you my friend." added Sabrina.

"After the way you guys helped me during the fiasco with Ash it's the least I could do. I'm just glad Team Rocket didn't show up again." replied Misty.

"Come to think of it, we haven't heard a word form those three since then. Not to mention the way Jessie acted was really out of character." noted Togetic.

"I'm just glad we've got some peace." said Misty.

"I won't complain about that." laughed Togetic.

"Well then, I guess that your official coming out is all the mountain we have to climb." mused Kadabra.

"The good thing is, I know that I don't need to be alone." replied Sabrina warmly looking at her girlfriend.

"Just being direct is the best option." said Gloom voicing it's opinion.

"I told her the same thing and she's tried that." replied Kadabra.

"Is it you were just afraid?" asked Misty.

"Yes it was. But, now I am fine. I know I can do it if Erika is by my side." answered Sabrina.

"I'll always be there for you." said Erika.

A/N: So I'll end it there. Misty made her cameo and she won't be around for the next chapter. I am not sure about next chapter due to extenuating circumstance which might hinder me in the future. Anyway, when the last chapter is the conclusion so I will try to finish as as soon as possible. Please review.
