A heavy rain lashed down on Saffron City's dismal evening. The temperature dropped.
Lucas and his friends ended up shrunken in the toy box, however, Paula and Little Sabrina were injured. The 2 psychic girls went to rest. Sabrina's prisoners were working fervently, still wondering what might happen to poor Lucas.
"Gar-Gardevoir!" Nancy tucked the girls in an extra room in the gym.
"...*gasp* COUGH!" the poor girl continued to cough. Nancy gave Little Sabrina medicine to control her illness. She adjusted the pillows on the bed.
"*cough* Paula..." muttered Little Sabrina, still feeling weak.
"Uh, yeah, Sabrina?" Paula listened carefully.
"You were right, fear makes us stronger. *wheeze* Hehe, I loved being able to master the PK Fire technique in my duel against the bowling alley..." laughed the dolly, emitting soft whistles.
"*gasp* Aw, Sabrina, even when we were on the verge of death, you never lose your sense of humor" Paula laughed softly. The blonde brought her hand trembling to where her friend was.
"Yes. Fear motivated us to help each other as a family. *sniff* Sabrina, I don't know how to repay everything you did for me. Uhm, you didn't deserve this" Paula patted Little Sabrina's hand.
"No problem, Paula. As long as we can remain best friends, I would agree to continue risking my life for you..." said Little Sabrina through tears.
"Gardevoir. Gar..." Nancy put up a picture with cute-looking Pokemon to brighten up the mood.
"Awww, what adorable girls. They are inseparable. They remind me of Lucas and Claus" thought Tazmily's ghost woman, secretly looking at the scene.
"Gar...*MUACK*" Nancy kissed the girls on the forehead. The ghost went to spy on Sabrina.
"*yawn* Sabrina, before we rest, I want you to promise me something..." Paula said.
"Tell me..." the doll listened to the blonde.
"*gasp* I want you to show Lucas no mercy. Don't sympathize with him, treat him like the horrible person he is..." Paula said with a great resentment towards Lucas. The girls closed their eyes.
"*yawn* Rest Sabrina. I'll make all those unpleasant people respect you, and your alter ego" expressed Paula. The 2 psychic girls slept peacefully.
"CHI-CHIMECHO!" Chimecho used Heal Bell with all his might to attend to the girls' wounds. Nancy sat next to the bed to see the state of both.
"HAUN-HAUNTER?" Haunter looked around, as if he was desperately searching for something.
"Um, something brushed against my dress..." the ghost woman felt the presence of someone else.
"Haunt...(babbling)" Haunter tried to talk, but the ghost woman covered his mouth.
"Sshhh, little friend, I know what you're thinking. If you want me to explain who I am, we could chat in private" Haunter led the mysterious ghost woman out of the gym.
"My name is Hinawa. Nice to meet you. I am the deceased mother of Lucas" the ghost woman revealed her true identity. Hinawa communicated with Haunter through telepathy.
"And I'm Haunter, one of Sabrina's Pokemon. *sigh* The people that my trainer has as prisoners are having a hard time" expressed Haunter with a sad tone.
"Poor creature. I would really like to help you. I could try to tend the needs of the shrunken people in that miniature city" Hinawa suggested helpfully.
"Be careful, Mrs. Hinawa. If Sabrina finds out that someone is helping the prisoners, she might explode in fury..." Haunter feared for the lives of the tiny people.
"Don't worry. They can't see me, unless I materialize physically. I'll be discreet" she replied.
"*sniff* Sabrina is not a bad person deep down. Lately she has felt sad because of the loneliness and unfair prejudices against her" Haunter yielded to tears.
"Haunter, I fully understand what Sabrina is going through. My son Lucas also suffered from mockery and the pain of not having friends or his loving mother by his side. When Claus died, he not only lost his brother, but also his best friend with whom he shared beautiful moments" commented Hinawa.
"*sniff* That's so sad. Sabrina now has Lucas as her special slave..." Haunter led Hinawa to where the giant woman was with her child.
"I want you to clean my boots and make them shine" Sabrina pointed Lucas to a set of black shoes, lined up neatly. Next to them was a shoe polish and a white handkerchief.
"If I find out that any of my boots gets dirty, or you don't do your job...*SMACK*" Sabrina moved an apple with her telekinesis, and easily crushed it.
"Uhhh...*gulp* Y-Y-Yes, Sabrina" Lucas's skin paled. The giantess went to her room.
"Ugh...*sob* AHHH..." Lucas began to feel pain from the burns. The bitumen-covered brush was as heavy to him as the huge logs Lighter used to carry in Tazmily.
"I have to do this. You can do it..." Lucas said to cheer himself up. With his PSI energy being drained by the toy box, Lucas could only resort to physical force. Hinawa helped delicately moving the brush to "disguise" that Lucas was doing his work.
"...Cough!" Lucas coughed from exhaustion and spat up a bit of blood.
"No...If these boots get dirty, my friends will be killed because of me" Lucas grabbed the white handkerchief, and rubbed the boots until the stains were removed. Meanwhile, the people in the toy box chatted as they worked.
"*huff* Geez, I didn't expect to see the famous Pokemon Trainer Red around here..." Dawn commented holding up a shovel. The prisoners managed to build some clay houses.
"Rumors in Pallet Town claim that you began your journey before Ash. Is it true that you were missing for a while?" Misty asked as she mixed clay.
"Yes. While I went to train on Mt. Silver, a strange light blinded my sight and a portal sucked me in until I reached an unknown place. Then I found out that my poor Pikachu was stolen. That's when I met Lucas..." Red commented wistfully.
"Yep. And then we joined forces to defeat Tabuu" added Ness.
"Tabuu?" May asked curiously.
"Tabuu was a mystical being who brought together various inhabitants of other dimensions for a test of endurance. Just like Sabrina, he saw us as his toys" Red said.
"Other dimensions? Maybe that explains the arrival of people like Lucas" Ormond thought.
"Don't remind me when he turned several of our companions into trophies!" Ness exclaimed.
"*gulp* Which is worse, being turned into a doll, or a trophy?" Misty shivered.
"I don't know exactly what feel the people that Sabrina has turned into dolls. What I can tell you is that being turned into a trophy is terrifying: everything goes dark, and you hear weird voices" Ness's words scared Misty even more.
"Speaking of dolls, Lucas and I managed to save your family from being burned to death. And with Tony's help, we were able to return them to normal" said Red. Ness was relieved.
"Ness, forgive me. I failed to you as an honorary warrior and as a companion..." Poo felt bad.
"Don't worry, Poo. Everyone did what they could and that's what matters. Now we must be united if we want to get out of this toy prison..." Ness said. 2 hours passed. The girls' condition improved.
"Nancy, I have something important to tell you..." Sabrina communicated with her Gardevoir.
"Yes Sabrina?" Nancy asked.
"With the incident that happened to Paula and Lil Sabrina, I'll probably need a new partner. Would you agree to join me to attack cities?" Nancy thought about Sabrina's proposal.
"Hem, no. I don't like to fight" said Nancy.
"Come on Nancy, this is urgent. My sisters are not healthy to go fight with me. Um, *sniff* if something happens to them, I'll never forgive myself..." Sabrina tried to convince the Gardevoir.
"Sabrina, I can feel great sadness on you. I'm worried about those poor girls too..." Nancy's protective instincts kicked in instantly.
"So, do you agree? I can give you a parchment with all the data of my growth technique without resorting to a Dynamax band. Besides, we can visit nice places along the way" Sabrina said.
"If you wish, I accept. Hehehe, I would love to visit a snowy place!" exclaimed Nancy happily.
"Perfect. Go practice your size changing ability outside. Also order my other Pokemon to watch the perimeter" Sabrina ordered. The group of psychic Pokemon complied the orders.
"Mmmm, it's been 2 hours. It's time to go squash that pipsqueak" Sabrina went to see Lucas.
*BOOM BOOM!* "Ufff...Ahh!" Lucas tripped on the floor because of Sabrina's huge footsteps.
"Mmmm. Not bad for a bug" Sabrina looked at her boots being sparkling clean.
"Don't think you're done. Nancy is busy, so you still have chores to do" Sabrina grabbed her slave and led him straight into the kitchen. Hinawa followed her.
"Wash the dishes in the kitchen, NOW!" Sabrina threw Lucas against the metal frame of the sink.
"AGH...Ummm, *sob*" Lucas received scrapes on his knees.
"If you break any of them, death awaits you and your friends! You better be ready when I get back!" Sabrina warned. In front of Lucas was one of Silph Co.'s new inventions: a mechanical plate stacker. On one side were the dirty dishes to be washed, and on the other side were the clean dishes. The machine moved the plates with actions designated by buttons.
"*gulp* Ugh, well, now or never..." feeling exhausted, Lucas turned on the faucet, and filled a plastic bowl that was in the center of the sink with water.
"Ugggghhh...*huff* It's really heavy" with effort, Lucas carried a small spoon to scoop up water in an improvised way. He tried to approach the bowl full of water, however...
"Ow...WOAHHH! *bloop*" Lucas fell into the water like a rock and began to run out of oxygen. His shirt got stuck in the spoon. With effort, he managed to free himself until he swam upwards.
"Cough. COUGH!" Lucas swallowed a huge amount of water. He soon feel more exhausted than ever. Hinawa helped how she could by holding the spoons a bit.
"That's scary, I can hear Porky's mom screaming from here..." Ness said feeling fear.
"Sabrina told us that the punish with whippings is every 2 hours" Ormond said.
"I don't approve the behavior of the girls, but Little Sabrina attacked Porky's mother to defend a poor innocent boy who is a neighbor of mine..." Ness revealed.
"Wait, what...?" Lisa was having trouble assimilating the situation. Ness went on to explain:
"I am telling the truth. Miss Lardna Minch was an awful abusive mother. She almost never let Porky or Picky out to play. When the girl teleported her to the toy box, she was very fond and kind to little Picky, like a sister. She even celebrated his birthday with him..."
*BOOOOOM* "Less talk, more work!" Sabrina ordered furiously. Her hand hit the street.
"Eh, y-y-yes Sabrina...*gulp* We built you a statue in your honor" Jeff pointed to a clay statue.
"Hmn. Nice try to win my sympathy, you bunch of worthless Lilliputians" said Sabrina with indifference. In a heartbeat, the giant woman levitated something foul-smelling.
"YUCK! And what is that?!" Dawn asked puzzled.
"It's food for my dolls" Sabrina revealed the food to the shrunken people: it consisted of rations of stale bread, covered in mold, and soup made with rotten vegetables and meat. This kind of peculiar food were Haunter's favorite snacks being a poisonous Pokemon.
"Ugh, no, I'm not going to eat that. I am someone of royal blood, I only drink purified water and food of the best kind in Dalaam" Poo glared at the food. Sabrina reacted furious:
"Listen well, insolent brat: only I decide what my prisoners eat, if you don't like what is served, A STAY IN THE DUNGEON IS WAITING FOR YOU, IS THAT CLEAR?!" Poo was silent.
"UHHH...YES, MISS SABRINA" Sabrina stopped levitating Poo. The giantess went to check the Pokemon world maps to plan her next attack on a city.
"HAHAHA! You heard the witch, ladies, keep working no matter what" a blue-haired person was lazing around in the toy box. He got captured in the subway.
"Hmn, I know you, you're Damian, that cruel trainer who abandoned his Charmander in the middle of the rain to let him die!" Misty yelled with enormous disgust.
"Hehe..." Damian walked over to the clay statue with the shape of Sabrina, and smashed it.
"HEY, IT COST ME A LOT TO MAKE THAT STATUE!" Jeff was upset. Damian laughed out loud.
"Oh, excuseeeeee me, four eyes. I don't remember Sabrina stating a rule to keep ugly toy box decorations like this one..." Damian pushed Jeff roughly.
"LEAVE JEFF ALONE!" Tony yelled. Several people glared at Damian.
"YOU JERK! How can you be so selfish?" May joined the discussion.
"HAHA! Bunch of idiots. I am not responsible for you. I don't give a darn for the people over here. Why spend my energy working when other fools can do it for me?" Damian replied.
"You're an embarrassment to Pokemon trainers! Part of being a good trainer is applying the value of fellowship through thick and thin!" Red protested.
"Bah, pure quackery. Being in this junkyard is just as boring as the school or wasting time raising Pokemon. I just want to have some fun, what's wrong with that?" Damian stated.
"ENOUGH, I WILL...!" Misty wanted to punch Damian. Ormond stopped her.
"Ufff...Misty, don't do that. You will only put us in danger..." Ormond said in alarm.
"*sigh* Sorry" Misty held herself back.
"Bye losers. I'll come back to this sector when something interesting happens HAHA" Damian left.
"Ugh, what an arrogant guy..." Tony said.
(In Eagleland, an intense search was conducted overnight to find Paula)
"Oof. Fortunately, the threat of the giantesses ended. Wilson, I want Onett's newspaper tomorrow to say on the front page: Brave Mayor Scared The Giant Girls Away" ordered B.H Pirkle.
"Yes, sir" replied the newsman.
"Have you managed to find anything?" asked Paul Jones on the phone.
"I only have one clue: I found a giant teddy bear scorched by fire" commented Apple Kid.
"That must be one of Paula's toys. I'm worried about my daughter's whereabouts" said Paul Jones.
"Don't worry. Me, and the police officers are doing our best to find Paula. Something tells me that somehow, Paula escaped to another dimension" said Apple Kid.
"I was hidden in the bunker along with other people. The last thing I remember is that Paula got burned, and she exploded in anger to defend her friend" commented Frank.
"Interesting. When I went to help Jeff, one of his friends told me that Paula's friend was apparently an evil doll with the appearance of a sweet girl. For now, I cannot verify if this is true. The priority now is to inspect every corner of Eagleland" continued Apple Kid.
"Buaaahhh, my poor Ness hasn't come back! Neither are his friends..." Apple Kid got another call, from Ness's mom. The disappearance of the children, including Lucas's group, shocked all Eagleland. The Jones family offered Ness's family to stay at their house.
"We regret the tragedy that your family had to go through. Losing your home and having your child kidnapped is something no mother wants to deal with, trust me" Mrs. Jones tried to cheer up Ness's mother. Tracy was listening to them as they drank tea.
"I miss Ness. *sniff* When I saw his face after I told him the good news about his baseball game, he looked happy. Seeing your brother get kidnapped like that out of the blue, it's so...Buuaaah! Waaaah! I WANT NESS BACK!" Tracy cried along with the other women in the living room.
(Meanwhile, in the Pokemon world, several were preparing for the danger posed by Sabrina and her giantess friends. Ash kept important items in his backpack)
"Well, Ash. You still insist on wanting to go face Sabrina..." expressed Brock concerned.
"Brock, Sabrina is ungrateful. I made her smile, and she broke her promise to never use her powers for evil purposes again. She's got not only my friends, but her parents locked up. No matter how strong Lt. Surge army is, sooner or later she could reach Pallet Town. I must defend my comrades at any cost!" Ash said with enormous determination.
"Pika-PIKACHU!" Pikachu responded with a war cry.
"ROAAGHHH!" Charizard appeared flying towards where Ash's room was.
"Charizard, do you want to come with me?" Ash asked.
"Gruhhhh..." Charizard cried. He was thinking about Misty.
"Are you sad about the depressing talk the other day?" Ash asked. Charizard nodded instantly.
"Ok, so, LET'S DO IT! With you by my side we can't lose!" Ash yelled happily.
"GROAHHH! ROARRRRR! *SMASH* *SLAM* Furious, Charizard exhaled fire into the air, and landed on the ground to bite several bounty signs that read:
"WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE – SABRINA FROM SAFFRON CITY"
"Perfect. Let's rest, tomorrow will be a very important day!" Ash ordered.
"Ash, I wish you luck. Have this, it came to my mail by mistake. A certain Alain sent it, he says to put it to good use" Gary Oak gave Ash a package containing a mega evolution stone.
"In this situation, a Dynamax band would have been wonderful. But hey, you must take advantage of what you have. Ash, I'll go with you, I can't leave a friend alone" commented Brock.
"Thanks Brock" everyone in Pallet Town went to sleep.
"Come on guys, the supplies arrive tomorrow! 1,2,3,4! 1,2,3,4! ELECTRODES IN FRONT!" in Vermilion City, Lt Surge's army was making a final march through the heavy rain. At only one night left of the voyage, the ship passed through heavy waves.
"Brrrr Ukiiii" Salsa felt cold.
"Come closer Salsa. So you'll be warm" Kumatora hugged Salsa.
"I give infinite thanks to Lyra for what she did for us. By the way Salsa, when Lucas pulled the seventh needle and renewed our world, I began to explore the ancient ruins of the Magypsy, now I have learned new techniques" Kumatora said.
"Koki Kyaaa" Salsa congratulated Kumatora.
"Thanks friend. Apparently, the dark dragon was aware that we would face a new enemy, sooner or later" Kumatora looked from one of the holes in the box, the moon covered by storm clouds.
"You may be huge, and look way more intimidating than Porky Minch, but I'm not afraid of you. Get ready Sabrina, our duel will be legendary!" Kumatora exclaimed. They both went to sleep. Back at the Saffron gym, the situation became difficult for Lucas.
"Haunter, help me please. It's been 2 hours and Lucas has barely managed to wash 2 dishes. *sniff* My poor son is too tired to work" Hinawa communicated to Haunter.
"*cough**gasp*...Brrrr I'm cold" said Lucas. Haunter looked at him completely drenched. The boy fell into the water several times by accident. Soon his burns, the rips in his clothes, and the drop in temperature during the night all contributed to him feeling exhausted.
"Mrs. Hinawa, I have a plan. It's risky, but it might work to finish washing the dishes" Haunter said telepathically. The Pokemon then touched Lucas from behind.
"Uh...what?" Lucas rubbed his eyes.
"HAUNT-HAUNTEEEER!" the ghost used his Hypnosis attack to put the boy to sleep.
"And now, wash the dishes as fast as you can. I'll distract Sabrina" Haunter moved quickly.
"Okay Lucas, let's see if you can avoid execution this time..." Sabrina thought.
"HAUNTERRR! HA HA HA HA!" the Pokemon warped his face with goofy eyes to amuse Sabrina.
"*sigh* Haunter, I know you want to play, but I'm busy right now..." Sabrina continued walking.
"HAAAAAAAAUNT!" Haunter screamed in fright. Desperate, he tried to use his last resort.
"Hey, what are you...?! HAHAHAHA, NO, PLEASE, PLEASE NO HAHAHA" Haunter surrounded Sabrina, and with the help of a feather, began to fill her with tickles as a distraction.
"La la la la...Alright honey, I finished washing the dishes. It was a pleasure to help you with the second task..." Hinawa gave her sleeping tiny son a comforting giant kiss.
"Hahahaha...ENOUGH!" Sabrina slammed Haunter hard against the wall with Confusion. She went in the direction of the kitchen. Hinawa touched Lucas with her fingers.
"*nom**yawn* Huh?" Lucas woke up.
"I have to admit it. You are not a bad slave..." the giant woman was surprised by the effort made by the boy. All dishes were clean and neat.
"Now, you have one task left to do..." Sabrina commented holding Lucas.
"Cough, COUGH! C-C-Can I use my psychic powers please?" asked Lucas still a bit scared.
"Hmmm well, yes, why not...?" Sabrina shared a bit of her psychic energy.
"But this time, you only have 45 minutes to finish the task. Nancy couldn't cook today, so I want you to make something for dinner. The food must please me, and my sisters. Fail this task, and you'll be waiting for a painful death along with your friends" Sabrina left Lucas alone.
"Ummm *gulp*...Gosh, what am I going to do?" the boy worriedly walked between the table thinking about what to cook. He was about to give up, until he looked at some boxes.
"Ohh, look. Eggs!" Lucas ran into the eggs that weren't used in Sabrina's cake. Best of all: she also left some flour to use.
"*sniff* This...brings back many fond memories of her" Lucas brought one of the eggs closer with his telekinesis, and hugged it. Flashbacks of the best years of his life flashed through his mind:
(Lucas was eating Omelets with his family)
"Mmmm yum, mommy, thanks. You are the best mom in the world" said Lucas affectionately.
"Awww, thank you honey. I love to brighten the hearts of people with what I cook. But above all, you have a special place in me" Hinawa hugged Lucas and Claus.
"nom nom, Mom, I don't know what we would do without your delicious Omelets" said Claus.
"Speaking of Omelets my love, you should teach the twins how to cook. Who knows, if something were to happen to us, and the kids will have to take care of themselves..." Flint suggested.
"Hehehe, come on sweetheart, don't be negative. See the positive side of things. We live in a fairly peaceful village with friends who love us. And with a strong and loving father like you, there is nothing our offspring might fear" Hinawa kissed Flint.
(Lucas remembered the first moments of him cooking)
"Ugh...Um, I-I-I'm sorry mom..." Lucas accidentally dropped some eggs on the floor.
"Oh, don't be sad, sonny. With practice you'll get better" Hinawa patted Lucas's head.
"Now: scramble the eggs. Then pours the mixture into the pan, along with a cup of flour. You must beat the mixture until there is a solid base without lumps" explained Hinawa.
"Mmmm, like this, mommy?" Lucas passionately stirred his egg mixture with a spatula.
"Yay, very good Lucas. Hehehe, looks like we'll have a handsome chef at home soon *MUACK*" Hinawa kissed Lucas. Lucas's memories flashed forward to a moment in the graveyard.
"*sob* Mom, I'll never forget your smile, your sweet caresses, and your delicious Omelets. Thank you" Lucas left some flowers on the grave of Hinawa. Boney cried next to him.
"*sniff* I'll do it. For all my friends imprisoned in this place!" determined, Lucas chose to prepare his favorite food for Sabrina and the girls.
"Haunter! Haunter, are you alright?!" Hinawa tried to bring Haunter back to consciousness.
"HAUNTEEEER..." the ghost Pokemon had spiral eyes and a sticking out tongue.
"Oh, sorry for the inconvenience I have caused you to go through..." Hinawa went to sneakily get some water in the bathroom to revive Haunter. Lucas used all his psychic strength to lift 3 pans, and other ingredients for the Omelets.
"Ufff...*cough COUGH* Ugh, well, here are the eggs" Lucas beat several eggs in a bowl. The boy had exceptional coordination like an orchestra director.
"PKK FIREEE!" Lucas expelled flames from his hands. The fire began to heat up the 3 pans containing the mixture of eggs and flour seasoned with salt.
"Ouch, th-thank you Mrs. Hinawa..." both ghosts started sniffing something from the kitchen.
"It smells like something delicious that I used to prepare for my children..." Hinawa said excitedly. The ghost woman went in the direction of the kitchen. She saw her son carefully preparing 3 omelets for the giant girls. Lucas had a quite exhausted look.
"Ufff...uffff...AGH, I'm almost done!" Lucas added the cheese, ham, oregano, and pork sausage that he cooked separately as ingredients for the Omelets. With a lot of effort, he flipped the Omelets in each pan for even cooking. Hinawa and Haunter discreetly assisted Lucas with telekinesis to prevent him from getting too tired. Time flew by in the kitchen.
"*gasp* *cough* *COUGH!* Ufff...did...I make it?" being about to faint, Lucas looked at the result of his hard work: the 3 plates of Omelet were ready to serve.
"Well, well. Just in time. Let's see if you can pass the final part of the test" Sabrina walked into the kitchen, drawn by the delicious aroma. She carried Lucas and the 3 plates into the living room.
"Ehhh...*gulp*..." Lucas touched his hands together in fear that Sabrina might not like the food.
"*nom nom* Mmmm" Sabrina savored Lucas's food with pleasure. She could see that her Omelet was decorated with a smiley face made of ketchup. One of the giant woman's fingers tenderly touched the trembling and fragile body of the child. Sabrina wiped away Lucas's tears.
"Lucas, you are a wonderful boy. I loved what you cooked. Tell me, who taught you this recipe?" Sabrina asked curiously.
"*cough* Ah, well, it was taught to me by someone very special to me. Someone who loved helping others and making people happy" Lucas commented happily.
"Wow, well...what a sweet touch" Sabrina managed a small smile.
"*sniff* I love to make you smile, my dear queen" Lucas said with a sweet tone. His cheeks turned pink. Feeling touched, Sabrina reached out her giant hand to capture Lucas.
"NO...Aahhh, don't hurt me!" Lucas joined his legs and covered his face for fear that something bad would happen. The boy soon faced the giant woman with a cute big smile.
"Awwww, little thingy, don't cry. You're a good slave" Sabrina wrapped her fingers around Lucas and hugged him.
"Um...Th-Thank you Sabrina" Lucas for a moment forgot that he was together with an evil woman. As a sign of affection, Lucas hugged the fingers of the giantess. Hinawa gazed at the scene.
"Hehehe...let's go to the girls' room so they can taste your food, Mr Goldie Head" Sabrina teleported herself with Lucas and the plates of food.
"The two of them look so cute together. Maybe they could become good friends, don't you think Haunter?" Hinawa commented with a smile. Haunter nodded. Sabrina sat on the girls' bed.
"Girls, wake up, it's dinner time" Sabrina gently moved her "sisters".
"*yawn* Ohhhh, hello big sis, hehehe" Paula greeted warmly.
"*cough* Uh, hello..." Little Sabrina rubbed her eyes. Both girls were still injured, but felt more stable. Chimecho managed to heal a good part of the most serious burns.
"Awwww, I'm glad you woke up. How does the most beautiful doll in the world feel...?" Sabrina reached out her hand to tickle her young alter ego.
"Heeheehee, Sabrina, stop..." the dolly laughed. Sabrina kissed the girl on the cheek.
"CHI...CHIMECHOOOO" Chimecho was lying on the bed tiredly.
"Good job, Chimecho. You've made great progress with your Heal Bell move" Sabrina returned Chimecho to its Poke Ball to rest.
"Speaking of progress, on our trip to Onett we learned new things" Little Sabrina giggled happily.
"Yes. Too bad we risked our lives. Big sister, I'm sorry, during the battle I had this day, I lost control and fainted from abusing the powers to grow" Paula lamented quite sadly.
"Aw, don't worry dear. It was my fault for not warning you. As I said, the best thing now is that you rest for some days to be ready for future missions. Nancy will be with me for now" Sabrina informed the girls. Paula and Little Sabrina had sad faces when they heard the news, deep down, they both didn't want to stay in bed doing nothing. They wanted to play in the cities.
"Ugh, I don't need that much rest, look, I'm fine...AAAGHHH, MY ARM!" Paula tried to get out of bed, but she was still in pain from her burns.
"Paula, I think my older sister is right. Let's rest" said Little Sabrina. Adult Sabrina hugged the 2 psychic girls to make them feel better.
"Wow, Sabrina, your family is beautiful. You can tell that they love and support each other a lot" Lucas commented.
"Oh, thanks little guy. They are not only like my family, but they are also the only friends I have" said Sabrina leaving Lucas thoughtful. Sabrina brought the 2 plates of Omelets closer.
"Bon Appetit! Our new slave took charge of preparing the food" the 2 girls tasted Lucas's Omelets. Little Sabrina greedily savored the tasty food.
"Yum, yum, hehehe, I love it!" Lucas contemplated the smiling and innocent face of the girl.
"I'm glad you liked it. Consider this a gift of apology from me. I...I'm sorry for trying to kill you. I thought you controlled Paula's mind, and that you wanted to hurt her" Lucas said to Little Sabrina. The doll looked at the blond boy, a little unsure. Paula watched him with eyes that reflected resentment and displeasure.
"We can make up and be friends. *cough* *COUGH* You seem like a sweet and nice girl" Lucas smiled. Sabrina was surprised by the cordiality of her slave. Hinawa watched the talk.
"To brighten up the night Paula, there is something I want to give you. Since you specialize in elemental psychic techniques, I thought it would be good for you to learn the strengths and weaknesses of Pokemon are we going to face. Here's a gift from me" Sabrina gave Paula a children's book with information about Pokemon. The pages had funny illustrations and drawings to learn in a fun way. A big smile was drawn in Paula's tender face.
"Aw, thanks sister. This reminds me of those funny little animal books that I used to read to the kids at Polestar Preschool" fascinated by her gift, Paula started flipping through the book.
"And that's not all. I also remodeled the old training room. Now it's a game room with several arcade machines just for you" commented Sabrina. Both girls were filled with joy.
"Did you hear that, Paula? We can play Air Hockey together hehehe" said Little Sabrina excitedly. Paula smiled at her while she continued looking at the book.
"Wahhhhh, what an adorable creature. I wish I had that Pokemon" Paula focused her attention on the page of the book with information about Jigglypuff, the balloon Pokemon.
"You like it, huh? I could get you one if you'd like. In various regions of the Pokemon world, they've reported the appearance of a Jigglypuff that wanders around sleeping people and painting faces. As an anecdote of mine: between my losses, I lost against a bearded trainer who owned a Jigglypuff with a green bandana. He had an exceptional defense ability, his Jigglypuff knew a variation of the Pound attack that he nicknamed "Wall of pain", and its rest had the particularity that generated explosions" the 3 children listened attentively to Sabrina's stories.
"Hehehe, so much story should make you want dessert, right?" Sabrina teleported the cake that she prepared for the girls. Paula curiously observed the pages dedicated to legendary Pokemon.
"Mmmm. Rayquaza. Pokemon #384. The king of the skies. Nice..." Paula continued reading, but...
"OHHHH, WOW, THAT POKEMON WAS DEFEATED BY FOX MCCLOUD!" Lucas yelled excited. The boy's eyes expressed nostalgia for his past adventures.
"Fox McWhat...?" Paula had no idea what he was talking about.
"Hmmm, Lucas, who is Fox McCloud?" asked Little Sabrina, a bit confused.
"Someone pretty cool hehe, I met him during my adventures with Red! He is a fox that wore military uniform, and...and had a shooting laser gun!" Lucas continued speaking:
"*cough* Uh, at first I didn't believe that he was able to defeat such a powerful beast, but when I accompanied Princess Peach in the labyrinth of subspace, Rayquaza had us cornered, until Fox came to our rescue, and...PEW PEW PEW! *blip blip* FIYAAAAHH, TORIYAHHH, COME ON!" with admiration of an innocent boy, Lucas rolled on the bed, and played at imitating the movements of his hero, Fox McCloud. Paula felt uncomfortable.
"Hahaha! This kid really has a lot of imagination!" Sabrina laughed sweetly.
"And Fox had a really cool friend named Falco Lombardi...and...and..."
"SHUT UP LUCAS, LET US EAT OUR CAKE IN PEACE!" Paula yelled furiously.
"Umm, I...I'm sorry" Lucas hung his head sadly. The dolly felt pain in her chest.
"*cough* I'm going to miss visiting the cities. Because of my illness, I even doubt that I can have the life of a cheerful and energetic girl that I used to have..." Little Sabrina felt sad.
"Sabrina, don't worry...you have our support" Paula encouraged the girl.
"You know, I could heal your wounds...let me try" Lucas offered to help.
"Lucas, can you really do something for my sisters?" adult Sabrina looked at the blond boy. Lucas nodded determinedly. The three giant girls saw Lucas's hands shine...
"Ugh...*gasp*, here I come. PSI HEALING β!" Lucas used what was left of his psychic energy.
"Oh...I don't feel burns around my body anymore" said Paula surprised.
"Um, my chest doesn't hurt as much as it used to. And my cuts disappeared" the girl Sabrina felt relieved. What Sabrina witnessed was wonderful. She felt blessed to have a generous slave.
"*cough* *COUGH!* *gasp* Agh, well...now you can go out, play, and still stay together as a nice family hehehe" feeling very weak, Lucas giggled, overflowing an adorable expression. Sabrina felt her heart soften more and more at the actions of that sweet boy.
"Um...I'm really hungry. Hmm, could you share some food with me, please?" Lucas asked Little Sabrina. Next to the girl was her second slice of cake.
"Oh, sure Lucas, why not...?" Little Sabrina brought her plate closer, but...
"Oh, tha...*SMACK*" the dolly abruptly threw the plate with the cake. Her telekinetic strength was such that Lucas was pushed away. He took a hard hit from the spoon.
"HAHAHA! I'LL NOT GIVE YOU ANYTHING EVEN IF YOU BEG!" the girl cruelly mocked Lucas.
"Yeah, very good Sabrina, I see that you finally learn to treat the garbage as it should be! HAHAHAHA!" Paula and Little Sabrina laughed.
"But...I...Uhmmmm *sniff*" Lucas became shaky and started to cry.
"..." Sabrina angrily got up from the bed.
"Eh...sister, are you alright?" asked Little Sabrina.
"*sigh* Hmm. I'm fine. Thanks..." Sabrina replied with a cold voice. She immediately left the room. Her fury was such that she didn't want to see the girls' faces.
"What do we do with Lucas, do we feed him?" Paula asked.
"Put him back in the toy box. Don't give him anything, he's a slave like everyone else" resignedly, Sabrina made her decision. Lucas's little heart was shattered, he felt rejected and betrayed by the woman who came to consider him a "good slave".
"Bah, I don't know why she gets angry. Lucas is just a worthless insect..." Paula commented grabbing Lucas. Feeling remorseful, Little Sabrina tried to get a closer look at Lucas.
"Lucas...forgive me" the girl said. Lucas, full of tears, turned his head trying to avoid eye contact.
"Uhhmm...*sniff* But what have I done..." Little Sabrina sobbed. She felt torn inside.
"Great, now you're going to cry and feel sorry for Lucas as your adult alter ego..." Paula said quite annoyed. Furious, Little Sabrina defended Lucas.
"*sniff* But...Lucas went out of his way to prepare food for us, apologized to us, and healed our wounds...Paula...*sniff*...YOU ARE A NASTY AND UNGRATEFUL GIRL!" the girl yelled.
"Ah, sorry Sabrina, I didn't think you were such an imbecile girl. Understand this once and for all, stupid doll: I'm not the problem, the world and those people are. Lucas, Sabrina's parents, and several others see you as a monster and have tried to kill you. Many people in the Pokemon world have treated poor adult Sabrina like a freak. And so, you are so stupid to believe that it is good to have mercy on those people?!" Paula raised her voice. Unaware of her words, she severely hurt Little Sabrina's feelings.
"But...*sniff* Paula..." the poor girl's eyes moistened.
"So what happened to our promise, huh? I thought we were friends..." Paula replied.
"Umm...*sob*...Uhhmm, BUAAAAHHH, I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU ANYMORE!" the girl Sabrina left the room. She went to lock herself in the bathroom to vent her sorrows.
"Please, don't go, we can talk!...AAAGHH, BUAHHH!" Lucas felt his body squeezed by Paula's hand. The pain in his bones, and the blood rushing in his mouth increased.
"Grrrrr...THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, LUCAS!" Paula immediately went to leave Lucas in the box.
