Psychic show down


A woman holding a little girl sees Ash and his friends making their way towards Saffron City. However, the group appears to be lost and Ash gets into an argument with Misty over her lack of direction. They stop arguing when they spot a young girl playing with a ball and giggling nearby. Ash pursues her, though the forest suddenly gives way to a sheer cliff. As Ash begins to fall, he calls out Bulbasaur, who pulls him up to safety with its Vine Whip. The group then notices that the girl has disappeared. However, they also spot Saffron City in the distance and Ash is excited for his upcoming Gym battle.

As they enter the city, Jessie and James, disguised as Hawaiian women, kiss Ash and put leis on him. They welcome Ash and his friends as the one-millionth, one-millionth and first, one-millionth and second, and one-millionth and third visitors to Saffron City and take them to a building to receive their prizes. Upon arrival, James grabs Raichu with rubber gloves and Jessie pushes the three onto a warp tile, sending them to an isolated room with no exit. A television screen drops down and Team Rocket remove their disguises, revealing that the prize-winning welcome was part of a ploy. Team Rocket recites their motto, but Ash and his friends ignore them. Ash orders Raichu's return before the monitor cuts out. As Jessie and James work to fix it, Meowth points to a little girl, the same one Ash saw earlier. She emits a blue aura and stops Jessie and James from moving. The girl takes Raichu and teleports into the same room with Ash to return Raichu. Ash thanks her, but the girl glows again and points to Ash and his friends, teleporting them.

When Ash and his friends reappear, they find themselves in front of the Saffron Gym. A man runs up behind them and suggests that they avoid the Gym and runs off. Ash ignores the warning and heads inside, intent on winning the Marsh Badge. They go inside, finding it empty at first. They run into a door and look inside, finding several people in the room practicing telekinesis. A man confronts them and Ash asks for a match against Sabrina. When Misty asks what the people in the room were doing, he demonstrates his telekinetic abilities by bending a spoon. Ash is unimpressed and bends the spoon with his hands, boasting that his method is better, to the annoyance of Brock and Misty. The man leads them to the arena and bows down in front of a gate, asking Sabrina to come out. The little girl appears, her eyes glowing red, using telekinetic force to send the man running. Ash asks for his official match from Sabrina and the little girl agrees on one condition: if he loses, he and his friends must play with her. Unaware of the young girl's intentions, and despite Misty's concern, Ash agrees. The gate opens and the little girl is revealed to be sitting on the real Sabrina's lap. The doors close, sealing them in.

Sabrina and the little girl move over telekinetically as the arena lights up. The little girl tosses a Poké Ball, sending out an Abra while Ash sends in Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto flyes around, though he notices that Abra is sleeping. Ash checks his Pokédex and it says that Abra sleeps eighteen hours a day but can employ telekinesis while asleep. Pidgeotto fires off a Air slash, but Abra wakes up and uses Teleport to dodge and get behind Pidgeotto. Sabrina then uses her Psychic powers to make Abra evolve into Kadabra. Ash checks his Pokédex again. He thinks that it is unfair due to it being a one-on-one match, but Misty informs him that evolving during the match is within the rules. Ash orders Pidgeotto to fill the stadium with Twister to negate Kadabra's teleportation. Pidgeotto launches a larg green Tornado at the ceiling, pooling it into a massive vortex that starts raining down towards the field. However, Kadabra uses Confusion to control the attack and redirect it towards Pidgeotto. The individual twisters combine to form a dragon, and the attack quickly catches up to Pidgeotto, causing serious damage. Kadabra then uses Psychic to control Pidgeotto's body, forcing him to dance. Ash is initially amused by Pidgeotto's routine, though Misty corrects Ash before Kadabra slams Pidgeotto into the ceiling and back down, repeating the Psychic attack several times. Ash intervenes, rushing to Pidgeotto's side, and decides to forfeit the match.

Since he lost, he has to fulfill the request of being the little girl's friend. She employs telekinesis to teleport them to a deserted town. They check a nearby house and find it empty. However, there is a set table complete with tea and cake. Ash looks around as Brock samples the cake, though it turns out to be plastic, hurting his teeth. Ash enters the bathroom and sees a woman in the bathtub. He turns away, but Lucario points to the mirror, noticing that the figure is really a doll. Misty and Brock soon realize that they are in a dollhouse. The place rumbles as the roof comes away, showing a giant Sabrina and the little girl towering above them. She slams her hand into the dollhouse when she tried to grab them but missed. Brock concludes that they were shrunk by telekinesis and are in a toy box. The little girl laughs uncontrollably as Ash and his friends run into a picture frame, showing the little girl and her parents. With nowhere to run, the little girl approaches, dribbling a ball before rolling it towards Ash and his friends. The man they ran into earlier appears and uses teleportation to get them out.

Ash and his friends reappear in Saffron City. The man orders them to leave, mentioning that Sabrina is very dangerous. Ash is not willing to leave without the Badge and thinks that he just needs to attack faster to beat Sabrina. The man's eyes glow red as he employs telekinesis on Ash, dropping his pants and forcing him to dance. Ash pulls up his pants, charges forward, and asks to be taught telekinesis, but the man pushes him back, mentioning that a person is usually born with it. Ash continues to be forced to the ground by the man's telekinesis, so he resorts to crawling. His determination convinces the man to reveal that Ghost Pokémon, found in Lavender Town, can beat Sabrina. He then teleports away. Misty and Brock rush to Ash's side and help him up. As suggested, Ash decides to go to Lavender Town. The man reappears on a tree overlooking Ash and his friends, and expresses his belief that Ash may be able to help Sabrina.

As Ash and his friends press on to Lavender Town, Meowth drags Jessie and James by ropes, still frozen, as they follow.

Ash and his friends head to Lavender Town so Ash can catch a Ghost-type Pokémon to use against Sabrina. As they are hiking, the fog intensifies and Brock suggests that everyone should hold hands. Ash and Misty link up but Brock cannot find them. Brock reaches towards Ash's hand, but mistakenly grabs Raichu's tail and is shocked with Thunder Shock. Ash attempts to alleviate everyone's fears, but his skull mask only angers everyone, and Raichu intentionally shocks him.

They arrived at levender town

Ash extended a pokeball towards Haunter

Every Pokémon creature has an array of stats. HP (Hit Points) is a Pokémon's life force. If your Pokémon's HP hits zero, it faints and is no longer usable in battle (it can still use Hidden Machines, though). The Speed stat decides which Pokémon will make the first move in battle. This stat can be critical in long battles.

Attack and Special Attack measure the strength of moves used by your Pokémon; the higher this is, the more damage you will do to opponents. Attack corresponds to moves in the Physical category, while Special Attack corresponds to Special moves.

Similarly, Defense and Special Defense measure the ability to take attacks from other Pokémon; the higher the stat is, the fewer Hit Points will be lost when attacked. Defense corresponds to moves in the Physical category, while Special Defense corresponds to Special moves.
