Chapter 32

Now we're going to the Saffron City Gym, we meet a man who stops and says, "If you try to enter the Pokemon League, young man, this is one gym that I suggest you stay away from."

"Yeah, no. We've already faced Sabrina before and she's not going to scare us." I say. "Despite her being a Team Rocket member and the one who gave us a lot of trouble in Silph Co."

"So you're the ones who stopped Team Rocket in Silph Co." The man says, and we are confused. We sit at the bench and the man says, "You see, Sabrina isn't always like this. When she was very young, she was very obsessed with her psychic powers."

When we look at the man, he also has some strong psychic powers. I ask, "Why are you telling us this? Are you... perhaps Sabrina's father?"

He is surprised at first, but then he nods, "Yes." He takes out the picture and says, "Sabrina's powers only grow stronger, and people start to fear her for her powers. The only one who isn't scared of her powers is the boss of Team Rocket, Giovanni. And because of him, she started to enjoy harming people for their goals. They were also married and even had a son. As her parents, we tried to help her, but in the end, my wife was turned into a doll because of her powers, I escaped like a coward."

We feel bad for him, and Misty says, "You said your wife turned into a doll... how are we going to get her free?"

"The only way to free her is by defeating Sabrina. However, nobody was able to defeat Sabrina since then..."

After hearing the story, I say, "I see... I have a grudge against Sabrina because how she was the one who kidnapped my Mom and made her a famous assassin in Team Rocket. I'm going to defeat her."

Then we bid the man farewell and enter the gym. We are surprised to see the place empty but with lights. The guide says, "Surprised by all the glitz and glam? Saffron City is the biggest city in Kanto, and its Gym gets its fair share of challengers, too!"

"But none of them are able to win against her..." Yellow says. The guide adds, "The Gym Leader Sabrina here uses Psychic power to perplex your Pokemon. Fighting Type Pokemon are especially weak against Psychic Type moves. They'll get destroyed before they can even aim a punch."

Then they notice a teleporter as they step inside, then they are teleported to another room, they also see more teleporters and Serena says, "I see...so the Gym Mission is that we need to find the correct path to Sabrina."

"Yeah, let's say that we go this one first." I say as we step inside one of the panels, and then they end up in the room with a Psychic Trainer named Johan. "Are you scared of psychics that use unseen power?"

"I mean, not really." I shrug. Then he sends out Slowbro and Kadabra to battle him, due to the fact that I don't have any Dark Type Pokemon yet, I use Electrode on the Slowbro and Scyther on the Kadabra, knocking them out. "I never foresaw this..." The trainer groans as we go into the next teleporter.

"When they go into the panel, we are now back at the trainer, Misty asks, "Did we just go on a loop?"

"But we know that there is only one that we haven't try it out." Serena says as we enter the third panel in the room, and then we get to another trainer, which is a Channeler named Stacy. "You...must be a lost trainer!"

"Well, we did get lost at first, but we will go through it without any problem." I say as the Channeler sends out two Haunters, which surprises us since they are not Psychic Type Pokemon. But I have the help of Gyarados and Golbat to knock them out with bites and crunches. "Lost and yet so strong..."

We get into another panel and then this time we get to an Ace Trainer named Amanda. "Sabrina is younger than me...but she has earned my respect!"

"Oh really?" I am skeptical about what she said as she sends out a Jynx. Flareon is the one to battle this time, and its Will-o-Wisp manages to burn the opponent and then defeats it with the Flamethrower. "Regrettably, I was lost."

Then the gym is getting complex as we start to go around in circles, but after a while, we finally get to another Channeler named Imari. "You and I - Shall have a Pokemon battle."

This time she sends out three Haunters. Insey says, "Okay... this is a Psychic Type or a Ghost Type?" But with the help of Gyarados, Golbat, and Flareon, the Haunters are not a problem to him. "I lost after all."

Then the fifth trainer is an Ace Trainer named Cameron. "Sabrina is young, but she's also our highly skilled Gym Leader. I won't let you reach her easily."

This time the opponent uses two Kadabra, so I use the Scyther and Gyarados this time to knock them out with the X Scissors and Crunch. "Ow! Down and out!"

And finally, we reach the final Gym Trainer, which is another Psychic named Preston. He says, "The Saffron Gym is famous for training psychics. You want to see Sabrina, don't you? I can tell."

"Of course, I want to." This time it uses Hypno, with the Hypnosis, it causes a lot of trouble for Pikachu, but in the end, Pikachu wakes up and lands a Thunderbolt to knock it out.

After beating the final trainer, they finally get to Sabrina. She is not wearing her Team Rocket uniform, instead, she's wearing a psychic outfit. She smirks, "So you've finally here. I have been waiting for you this whole time."

"Sabrina." I say in a cold tone, "Like I said. I'm here for the gym battle, and you're going to pay for everything you've done to my Mom in the past."

"I will like to see you try. I have had psychic powers since I was a child. It started when a spoon I carelessly tossed, bent. I dislike battling of course, but since we're here to settle this, how about I make something interesting?"

Much to our surprise, Sabrina's eyes starts to glow, and the next thing I saw, everyone except Insey has been turned into a doll.

"Misty! Brock! Yellow! Serena!" Insey yells in shock as she picks them up. "What have you done?" I growl at her, and she smirks, "Since you gave me a lot of trouble yesterday, I also learned that my husband has lost to you. I want to see how strong you are without any interference. If you win, I'll turn them back to normal. If I win, they're going to become my dolls forever..."

"You..." I say with anger. "Fine, I accept the challenge because I won't lose! What are the rules?"

"It'll be a four on four." Sabrina says.

She uses Kadabra as her first Pokemon, and I decide to go with Scyther. Scyther has a hard time battling against Kadabra because of the Future Sight and the fact that it uses the Psybeam to make him confused. But in the end, Scyther manages to land a Night Slash, knocking out the Kadabra, but it gets defeated as well by the Future Sight attack.

Sabrina uses Hypno next, and I choose Flareon. Hypno uses Confusion, while Flareon blocks it with Protect, then Flareon uses Fire Spin and it starts to damage Hypno turn after turn. Flareon tries to use Swift, but Hypno dodges it by using Teleport, then Hypno uses Hypnosis, causing Flareon to asleep, but thanks to it holding a Chesto Berry, it wakes up instantly and uses Bite, knocking it out in the end.

Sabrina's third Pokemon is a Mr. Mime, and it uses Psychic to knock out Flareon, so Ash uses Gyarados next. Gyarados uses Water Gun, and Mr. Mime uses Mimic to do the same. Then Gyarados tries to use Crunch, but it is blocked by Barrier. Then Mr. Mime shocks them by using Thunder, causing Gyarados to hurt badly, but Gyarados doesn't give up, it uses Hyper Beam to give him damage, then using another Crunch, but he falls into the trick of Substitute. Gyarados uses Water Gun to break the substitute, then he uses Crunch again, Mr. Mime also uses Psyshock, causing both of them to faint.

"Now each of them only have 1 Pokemon left..." Insey mutters.

"I never had an exciting battle before, you really are something. However, haven't you realized that you'll never defeat me?"

"As long as I have one Pokemon left, I'm not going to give up until the very end! And I already know what I'm going to choose!" I say.

"Very well. Then taste the terrifying power of my Alakazam!" Sabrina says as she sends out the last Pokemon.

"Gengar! I choose you!" When Gengar appears, Insey asks, "Ash... you do realize that Gengar is also a Poison Type..."

"But it's also a Ghost Type, all I need is to attack and not take any damage. Shadow Ball!"

Gengar uses Shadow Ball first, but Alakazam dodges it using Teleport, then Alakazam uses Psychic, and Gengar just hides in the shadows to dodge it. Then Gengar fires a Dark Pulse and hits Alakazam.

"That's it!" I say.

"Recover!" Sabrina says, and Alakazam recovers all of its HP back. "It's impossible to win. Calm Mind."

I grit my teeth as Alakazam is trying to boost its power, then it goes for Psychic again, and it damages Gengar into his red health.

"Gengar! Are you okay?" I ask, and Gengar immediately gets back up. "Looks like it's over for you. The Future Sight that I set earlier is going to be your doom!"

As the portals open and the Future Sight is about to come, I say, "Gengar! Phantom Force!"

Gengar hides into the shadow once more and the attack misses, and much to our surprise, Gengar is now in front of Sabrina and does Hypnosis. Sabrina widens her eyes before falling asleep.

"Gengar? What the..." I am confused about what Gengar is doing, but it turns out that when Sabrina falls asleep, Alakazam is also fallen asleep as well.

"I don't get it..." I say, and just then, Sabrina's father comes in and says, "Alakazam and Sabrina are joined telepathically. Now it's your chance to deliver the finishing blow."

"Finishing blow? What do you mean?" Insey asks.

"Despite Sabrina's heart is in the darkness, she is also trapped inside a nightmare of her own powers."

"A nightmare..." I turn to Gengar and say, "Then we'll wipe it out! Gengar! Dream Eater!"

Gengar uses the attack on Sabrina, and it causes her to groan in pain before she started to show a smile, Alakazam is also smiling as well, and I decide to do the finishing blow by attacking Alakazam with the Hex attack.

"Just then, the dolls on Insey's hands start to turn back into their normal size, Serena asks, "What just happened..."

"For some reason, we weren't able to move our bodies..." Misty says while holding her head.

"Misty! Serena! Yellow! Brock!" I gasp in delight. But Insey yells, "Can you four get off of me?"

They realize that Insey is being crushed and they quickly get back up so Insey could stand up. And at the same time, we notice a lot of trainers rushing out of the gym screaming in terror, and a woman also rushes towards Sabrina, who I assume to be Sabrina's mom.

"Sabrina..." When Sabrina wakes up, she mutters, "Mom... Dad... I..."

"You're not alone, Sabrina. You still have the two of us by your side." Sabrina's mother then pulls her into a hug, she tries to struggle at first, but then she closes her eyes and embraces her family, "I'm sorry..."

After the hug is over, Sabrina's father walks to me and says, "Since you beat my daughter, you earned the Marsh Badge."

I take the badge and thank him, then he also says, "The Marsh Badge makes Pokémon up to Lv. 70 obey you. Stronger Pokémon will become wild, ignoring your orders in battle! Just don't raise your Pokémon too much to avoid that problem."

We nod, and Sabrina says, "Ash, right? I know I've done so many bad things as a Team Rocket member, but I want to say that Giovanni is not always a heartless man. He has been wandering in the darkness for a long time, and I also wanted to free him from that darkness. I won't stand in your way as a Team Rocket member, but I'm also not going to leave him just because you beat me."

"I understand." I say. Then we decide to bid them farewell and leave the gym, although we did hear Team Rocket trio's voices near the cement hole, but we think it is our imagination and we just leave and head to Route 12.
