24. Chapter 24

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon! Sorry everyone for the long wait for this chapter. As I stated, Summer time...yeah you get the gist. Now, why did it took long? Apparently, summer didn't get the memo and was told that Fall was suppose to come, after it was finish. So couple more weaks, the heat were unbearable for me, that I couldn't get much writing done...

But despite it and knowing it was fall? I still managed to get through and finish this chapter, 9 pages were already written, after coming back from my vacation in Febuary. But stop writing after awhile, as had friends from Scotland visiting, and other real life things getting in the way. But finally, it is done and of course, finishing up Mewtwo strikes back special? Also took part of why I haven't update this story, as it was literally done after coming home, friend went back to scotland, that the final chapter of Mewtwo strikes back, with the lemon was done.

And now, I can finally say it is here! Chapter 24 is completed and done! I hope you all enjoy, as this has a lot of Character development between Blaziken and Gardevoir. I wanted it to be done correctly, and feeling real: which is why this chapter...is sort of 48 pages XD. But the fight scenes, I do hope you all enjoy!

I know the lyrics aren't from Pokemon, but I figured it works best for this fight Xd. So without further adieu, and sorry. No who's that Pokemon, you all have fun and enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 24: Breaking Resolve, evolution of change!

The battle is set, the curtains has raised for our hero. As the battle against Sabrina is on the line, with her challenging our hero, but unlike most Gym battles? This one is going to be one for the ages and for our heroes life! Not only that but Ash has learned that Sabrina, the Saffron city gym leader- is the original owner and trainer to Gardevoir!

Who apparently has quite the history between Gardevoir and herself, a history that which Gardevoir is quite upset about between both her and Sabrina, with a special friend of theirs. Who had passed away and is no longer here in this world... And right now, Sabrina has finally found Gardevoir and ready to give punishment to the female Pokemon, who is quite afraid to even show herself to Sabrina as the battle is beginning!

"Flareon, I choose you!" Shouted Ash as he stretches his arm back and then threw the ball forward! Watching it soar and then burst open, releasing a white energy out onto the floor showing and revealing the fire type Eeveelution Pokemon- Flareon! Who let out a cry of her name and gritting her teeth towards whoever it is, she is about to face off against!

Her yellow mane cleaned and tidy, wrapping around her and extending along her back, stepping one foot forward, with her hind legs moving back a bit. Wagging her tail once in awhile, glaring her opal eyes at the female gym leader. Whom lower her gaze and had one of the Pokeballs that were floating around her, to move forward and then blast ahead of her!

"Espeon, come on out and show this fool what we're made of!" Sabrina called out, releasing the Psychic type Eeveelution Pokemon- Espeon! Who appeared after the white energy came out from the ball, while moving his head around a bit and giving out a loud.

"Espeee", then crouch down low with his eyes glaring at Flareon, "Espeon, on!" He chanted out. Having Ash and Pikachu to step back a bit, but quickly stood their ground and harden their expressions. Seeing Flareon wasn't backing down at all, even smiling a bit as she can't wait to get started with this fight! While Espeon, with his fork like tail wagging is waiting for things to begin.

"You have the first move..." Sabrina called out, while lowering her gaze and focusing on the Pokeball on Ash's belt, that contains Gardevoir inside of it. Then turn her attention back to the boy, who had quite the eager and excited look on his face.

He turned his hat around and swipe a thumb across his nose, "Alright then, Flareon let's start things out with Quick attack!" Ash commanded while throwing his arm forward, hearing the female Pokemon letting out a battle cry, while gathering energy around herself!

Then blasted forward with incredible speed, leaving after images of herself as she ran forward and straight towards Espeon. Who stood his ground and lean further down to the ground, watching and calculating when to move or dodge, turning his head left to right when Flareon began zigzagging her way over to her opponent!

"Dodge it Espeon," Sabrina said calmly, watching the charging fire type about to land a hit on Espeon, literally leaping into the air a bit and aiming her shoulder towards him. Only for things to slow down drastically around Espeon, who began sliding himself towards the right of Flareon in a sweeping motion, dodging the attack completely when Flareon.

Landed back on the floor and slide across the arena, gritting her teeth and shifting her opal eyes over her shoulders. She stomps all four of her feet into the ground, then quickly kick jump back towards Espeon, who once again and with his eyes closed, felt everything moving quite slowly! Twirling himself further towards the right, lowering his tail so it wouldn't get hit as Flareon flew right past it, having her eyes widen at what just happened!

Before yelping out in pain, from Espeon- who charged up some different color energy particles on the jewel. Fired off Psybeam at Flareon with a loud explosion when making contact, causing the fire type to fly forward with incredible pain! "Flareon!" Ash shouted and called out, watching the female Pokemon, hitting the ground hard and rolling across the floor!

Though she managed to get up quickly, "Quick, Ember!" Ash shouted as he saw another Psybeam was coming, when Espeon lifted his head up and threw it forward! Firing off another beam towards Flareon, who quickly got up onto her knees and then jumping away from the attack, feeling the wind blowing against her fur and mane! She turn her head over her shoulder- firing off about three embers towards Espeon, with each fireball flying and hitting against the ground around Espeon!

Exploding and creating smoke everywhere, then landing on her feet. Before quickly turning around and fired off another couple Embers, as Espeon winced and closed one eye halfway, feeling the heat of the embers around himself. Along with yelping when a few managed to make contact on him! "Espeon, Calm mind, then follow up with Swift." Sabrina commanded with a cold tone.

Watching the Psychic type opening his eyes and then closing them, giving out a relaxing sigh, feeling energy building up from the inside, raising its special abilities up. Which had Flareon stopping her attack and blink her eyes, panting lightly before growling once more, then widen her eyes when stars!

Energy looking stars, began coming out from within the smoke clouds! Blowing open couple of holes and getting rid of the smoke, s they flew and soar in the air, tracking down the fire type. Who began running and doing her best to evade the attack! Ash look on with disbelief of whats happening, all the while trying to figure out how the Swift move, is able to follow and track Flareon without any problems!?

Sabrina just watches on with that cold stare of hers, while the young girl next to her giggled and bounced the rubber ball, "Did you not know? Swift is like Aura sphere, it will always track down its opponent until it makes contact! It never misses!" Cackle the young girl, making Ash to grit his teeth. Hearing Buneary and Pikachu, cheering and encouraging Flareon to keep running!

Which she was doing her best, pumping her arms and legs as fast she can go! Feeling the attack getting closer and closer, no doubt will hurt her greatly! Especially when Calm mind was used, with the attack..."Flareon turn around and use Fire spin! Destroy the attack, then quickly follow up with Quick attack!" Commanded the raven hair trainer!

Watching Flareon nod mid run, as she quickly hops up and back down on the floor. Sliding and spinning her body around. The female Pokemon then raised her head, gathering a lot of flames, then threw her head forward! A powerful tornado of fire burst out from her mouth, first hitting the ground and then roaring with power, as it rise into the air and shielded Flareon from the swift attack and continues forward too Espeon.

Who step back and ready to dodge the attack, only to suddenly widen his eyes and turn his head ever slowly towards his left, when a red blur appeared on his side and then yelled in pain. When Flareon turn her body at him and slams hard into his head! Making sure to throw a punch forward with her paws, then coming to a sliding halt when she land on the ground. Breathing and panting heavily now, using up a lot of energy from dodging the attacks and getting hit from the Psybeam attack earlier.

Then smiled when she saw Espeon, kicking himself upward and sliding back only to turn his head frantically, when the Fire tornado caught up and engulfed the Pokemon inside of it! Hurtling the Psychic type all over the place within the flames, "Alright! Way to go Flareon, you got this!"

"Psychic." Sabrina finally said with a harsh voice, causing Ash to widen his eyes at the sudden command. Thinking there will be no way, Espeon can break through the fire spin and attack at the same time...right?

But then he was proven wrong, cause once Sabrina's eyes began glowing along with her hair, floating up behind her? Espeon- who is withing the fire tornado, open his eyes as well having the same glow. His field of vision suddenly going out of his body and eyes, towards someone else and looking through their own eyes.

Spotting a concern and worried Flareon, who was looking directly at Sabrina. "Espeon!" Shouted the Pokemon through the fire tornado! Which alerted Ash, Pikachu, Buneary and Flareon towards him, then the three turn to Flareon who began screaming in agony! It was the Psychic attack! IT was working and is hitting Flareon!

"Flareon!" Ash called out and watched in fear of his partner, being lifted into the air. Struggling and thrashing about, feeling her body being pulled and tug in places a body should not be able to do. With her back arching so much so, it would look like Espeon was about to break Flareon in half! Watching helplessly at his partner, screaming in agony! Gritting her teeth and tossing her head around when she felt her back, being pulled inward... Forcing her to push her midsection forward far it can go, forcing the yellow mane of hers to rest against her chin!

Then widen her eyes with drool flying out from her mouth, while bending forward with what seems like a large fist, gutted her and is pushing heavily against her stomach! Then felt her hind legs, being pulled apart from one another, which had her screaming even louder! Exposing her for Ash, who was to concern about the pain Flareon was going through!

"Knock it off! Your hurting her, you shouldn't be this brutal to Pokemon!" Ash shouted at the female Gym leader, who harden her gaze and gave quite the scary smile. Which had Ash stepping back in fear, when she suddenly said.

"My gym, my rules- you should've realized the trouble you are in. The minute you stepped into my gym, you follow my rules." Said Sabrina darkly towards the boy, who felt bead of sweat going down his forehead. Ash turn his attention back to the writhing Flareon, as she began falling down towards the ground, which at the same time the fire spin ended.

Both eeveelutions hitting the ground hard and fast, with loud thumps of their body hitting the floor. Both of them, having quite the serious injuries on them...Espeon looking quite burnt and covered in lots of soot, even dirty as the pink fur was mattered with slightly charred fur. While Flareon?

The poor thing was breathing heavily and sprawled against the ground, breathing and panting heavily, but chuckled. Which surprised Sabrina, "What?" She openly said and watched the female fire type. With shaky limbs and movement of her body, began rising up onto her feet, "humph," grunt Sabrina who lower her eyes, "Seems like your Pokemon is more durable than I give it credit for." Stated the girl.

Ash let out calming breaths and resting a hand on his chest, watching the pain Flareon went through? HE did not wanted to see it happen again, especially what Sabrina had Espeon doing to the female Pokemon with its Psychic attack. He lifted his head and harden his look, staring towards the female Pokemon. Who was standing completely upright, battered and bruised though. Even looking like another hit will do her in, if she were to keep going like that.

"I guess it is because of the rough treatments, she gotten from her old trainer? She is use to these kind of punishment," Ash thought to himself, while looking over the tired and exhausted Pokemon. Who was barely able to keep her legs from wobbling, or falling onto her knees. Hissing lightly and doing her best, to keeping one eye open. The drive to keep battling and make Ash proud of her, is possibly what keeping her going the boy thought, "I can't let her continue like this, I will call her back and let someone else fight her next Pokemon." But before he does, he quickly look over to where Espeon was.

Then smiled when he saw the male Pokemon, who was struggling to get up and back on his feet. Closed his eyes and fell to the floor, then had swirls replacing his eyes, indicating the Pokemon had fainted and Sabrina, lost this match too Ash. "Espeon is unable to battle, this match goes to Flareon!" Called one of the referees within a viewing booth.

Making Sabrina to hum lightly and floated the Pokeball forward, to recall the psychic type back into his ball, then looking at it. "You got lucky, a Pokemon able to handle so many punishment in a single battle, while still continuing after what she went through?" Lifting her head up and look at Flareon. Who was breathing and gasping heavily. "Isn't something one usually sees...too bad she won't last long."

"Flareon return!" Ash suddenly called out, recalling the female Pokemon back to her ball. Making the fire type to whip her head at him, wondering why it is he's calling her back? Before feeling the red beam touching her and bringing her back inside the ball. With Ash smiling at the ball, "You were amazing Flareon, take a good rest." No doubt he thought, he had cost himself a match by recalling his Pokemon.

Which Sabrina blink her eyes and then harden her look, "Fool...you are only going to make things worst for you. A Pokemon should battle to the end, no question asked or even letting your emotions cloud your judgment." She warned, watching the kid stare at her and glares.

"Is that what you told Gardevoir?" Ash argued with gritted teeth, having Pikachu sparking his electricity in anger, relating to how Ash is feeling. "You treated her like she is just a weapon? A tool for battle?!" HE shouted and asked, while watching the girl in front of him to just lift her head and glares back at him.

"What she has done to me, is none of your concern. All you need to know is that Pokemon, who betrays you...should not gain our affection. No matter," then throws the next Pokeball forward, "how heavy the sin they have is! They will be treated as such, like any other criminal. Mr Mme, come on out!" She called out, sending out the mime Pokemon onto the battlefield Who was clapping his hands and then gave quite the evil glint in his eyes and expression.

Ash growled and felt his nails digging into his finger-less gloves, "Is that how you see Gardevoir!? A criminal!?" He shouted and threw his arm out. "Your the criminal here! You should never treat Pokemon like that, let alone automatically deem them a criminal without having a good reason!" Then looks at Pikachu, "Pikachu, go! Let's show her that she is in the wrong."

"Hahaha, Breeny in the wrong? OH you are a silly boy aren't you!" Giggled the young girl, who lifted her head up and showed her emotionless eyes at the group. "Gardy is the one who is in the wrong. What she did in the past to us, too Briny? Is unforgivable and must receive divined punishment for her actions!"

Pikachu growled as he step onto the battlefield, facing off against Mr Mime, who smirked and chuckled to himself at the sight of the mouse Pokemon. While then sighing and shrugging his arms up, making Pikachu to flinch and growled even louder and harsher, sticking his fur out in all directions! Being told by the Pokemon, he won't even put up a match against him!

Ash didn't want to hear it anymore, "Whatever! Let's just fight and I will prove to you that Gardevoir," Then rests a hand on his chest. As Gardevoir- who lifted her head up and listening on their discussion, felt tears swelling up in her eyes, her heart rate rising when her lover said. "No matter what the reason or how bad of a sin, she may had in the past. Has a good reason for what she did in the past," Then clutches tightly against his black t-shirt. "Despite what you may think, I believe everyone and even Pokemon, deserves to least give their side of the story! Now Pikachu, Iron tail!" Ash shouted while throwing his arm forward.

Hearing his buddy shouting out in response, before running forward at Mr Mime. "You have no idea what she has done, yet you still want to protect her...Fine." Growled Sabrina, watching Pikachu running forward and getting close to Mr Mime, who was readying a Double slap attack. "Let's see how your resolve stands in this battle, and watch it fade away the moment you send her out." Growled the gym leader.

Watching Pikachu jumping up a bit, to evade the first slap and then quickly slide between Mr Mime's legs, dodging the second slap as the clown Pokemon, widen his eyes and tried looking behind him. Only to yell in horrible pain, when Pikachu- after sliding across the floor and rolling onto his feet, leaps forward and turned his tail steel!

Reaching midway of Mr Mime's body, before swinging his tail right into the clown Pokemon's left side, causing him to slide away from Pikachu. While quickly grabbing onto his side, before widening his eyes once more, ready to step back. Only to feel his cheek getting hit next from Pikachu- after landing back on the floor, quickly darted forward and leaps against towards Mr Mime, whacking his face this time around! Sending him towards the right of the battlefield, "Barrier!" Sabrina quickly order as Pikachu ran towards him once more!

Which the angry Pokemon, glare at the electric mouse and began swaying his arms up and down right in front of him! Summoning a white like energy wall, that can only be seen when a Pokemon strike sit. Making Pikachu to widen his eyes in disbelief! When his Iron tail was stop in midair, reflecting a mirror like shield in front of his opponent, as Sabrina's eyes glowed after saying, "Fire punch!"

"Pikachu dodge!" Ash tried to command but was too late, soon as Pikachu land on the floor, after striking the barrier. Got hit hard in the chin from Mr Mime, using Fire punch attack, then once more but this time around into Pikachu's stomach and flung the Pokemon across the arena! Watching in fear, Ash watched his buddy bounce and hit the floor repeatedly! Before slamming a paw down on the floor and flip himself back onto his feet, sliding against the floor. "Thunder bolt!" Ash quickly commanded, moving his arm into the air.

"Pikachuuu!" Shouted the electric mouse, who fired off his electric attack towards MR Mime, who just stood there and grinned. As he went ahead and used Reflect! Which bounced the Thunder bolt away from him, to instead up into the ceiling of the arena floors. Causing a loud explosion to erupt! Flashing the lights rapidly in the arena grounds, making it bit harder to see with the dimming lights flickering on an doff!

"Mr Mime,-"

"Pikachu quick, use Thunder wave!" Ash commanded with a smile. If they can't over power the Pokemon? Then they will out run the Pokemon, as Pikachu leaps into the air and spread his limbs outward! Firing off sonar waves of electricity towards the clown Pokemon!

"Confusion." Sabrina stated with a smile, watching the Pokemon having a blue glow around its body. Snickering to itself as it went ahead and move his hand forward!

"Hah, that isn't going to work! Confusion won't be able to-" Ash went to say, only for his voice to be caught in his throat, while gasping and nearly choking at the sight of Mr Mime, CATCHING the attack with the confusion move!

Surprising Pikachu as well from what just happened, while then blinking his eyes when Mr mime send it right back to Pikachu! Though, nothing happened as he did not get paralyze from the attack, thus confusing Mr mime briefly, "Um...Oh! Agility, then Iron tail!" Ash quickly shouted, using this as his advantage and hopefully, another Iron tail will take the Pokemon out!

"Mr Mime, quickly use Moon blast!" Sabrina shouted rather fast, sweating lightly and feeling bit worried. Which is odd she thought, why was she feeling bit afraid and concern about losing this fight? As she went and look towards Pikachu, who was now running super fast after using Agility, was gaining distance to Mr Mime, who went and began charging pink particle energy around his hands!

Sabrina then turned towards Ash with an even harder glare, tightening her fists a bit, "What is going on...why am I worrying about losing to someone like him? There is no way he can defeat me, my drive to finally seeing Gardevoir. Make her pay for what she has done to me, is right in my grasp. I-I must make her pay!" Thought Sabrina, as Mr Mime fired off the moon blast!

As the energy orb that rose towards the skies? Began forming into a stunning and bright Pink moon, that then fell towards the ground! Where Pikachu was heading too, "Pikachu, Iron tail! Break through that attack and end this!" Ash shouted with excitement, confidence rising as they were winning this fight! And since Steel is strong against Fairy? Pikachu, should be able to break free without any problems and land a hit!

Thus exactly what Pikachu did! Leaping up into the air and swinging his tail right at the Moon blast from the right slide! Cutting it in half, leaving a large gap for Pikachu to go through, as the sliced pieces of the attack, continued onward and slamming into the ground, exploding on contact with explosions! Pushing Pikachu further ahead and continued his spinning motion with his Iron tail attack, as Mr Mime began flailing his arms and stepping back! Only to get hit right on top of the head, when Pikachu rolled his body forward, with a loud BOOM!

Which echoed throughout the entire Arena, making everyone there to stare on with silence. As Pikachu jumps down to the floor and began breathing lightly...feeling bit worn out, but still raring to keep going and fight for not only Ash? But for Gardevoir as well; he stood upright and watched Mr Mime carefully, before watching the clown Pokemon falling backwards and hitting the ground hard! Swirls in his eyes...Ash won Round 2!

"Mr Mime is unable to battle, this match goes to Pikachu!" The ref called out. Making Sabrina to hum lightly, even the little girl next to her was amazed at how things were turning out! This boy, is a lot fun than she previously thought, especially that Pikachu of his! Flareon was good too, but the way Pikachu moved and swerve through the battlefield, was a sight to see.

"Your Pikachu...how long you had it for?" Sabrina suddenly asked, making Ash to blink his eyes and stared confusingly towards her. "I never fought a Pikachu, who is that strong or swift on the battlefield...let alone, able to handle Mr Mime." She informed and recalls the Pokemon, back to his ball and stared at it for a bit, before placing it back to its case with teleportation powers.

"I bet ya he and Pikachu, are really, really close friends! It be a shame if his resolve withers, if Pikachu got hurt." Giggled the little girl creepily, causing the electric mouse to shudder a bit and shook lightly from the tone. But made sure to stand strong and glared, despite being a bit worn out from the fight against Mr Mime, those moon blasts and barriers were definitely tough to get through! But he will be sure to try his best, on handling Sabrina's last Pokemon!

"Pikachu and I are very close, he is my starter Pokemon...along with the other Pokemon who traveled with me." Ash informed, making Sabrina to raise an eyebrow, watching how his teeth were gritting, "despite everything they went through? I won't let them down nor will I give up on them!" He suddenly said and began shaking his fists, as his hat was over shadowing his eyes. Making Gardevoir and Blaziken, in their respectful Pokeballs.

To open their eyes slightly and listen in on Ash's determine speech, "Yeah we all may have horrible pasts...And possibly can never recover, from what we experienced." Then raises his head, "And right now, Gardevoir is hurting and it is because of you! I will make sure you give her an apology!" Then throw his arm out, "holding a grudge for these many years, is not healthy and blaming Gardevoir for everything that happened? Without giving her a choice or-"

Sabrina darken her glare and growled out, "I was THERE, SHE killed my friend!" Screamed the girl, causing Ash and Pikachu to step back in shock, along with Blaziken. Widening her eyes in confusion of what just came out from Sabrina's mouth. "She is the one who drowned Emily, she is the one who killed Emily, she is the one! WHO MADE MY LIFE A NIGHTMARE!" Growled the now scary looking gym leader, having energy beginning to appear around her body, while then glaring harshly at Ash.

"And now, you brought her here and she will get her judgment!" Then had another Pokeball appearing and being thrown out into the battlefield, "and he will make sure of it. Once your Pikachu is out of the picture, Gardevoir will be next!" Growled Sabrina, as the young girl next to her just laughs and cackle at everything that's being said, with those soulless eyes just vacantly staring towards the battlefield!

The ball bursts open and revealed Sabrina's next Pokemon, who looked quite odd in shape and size? But also looking quite strong, especially with the red like star design on its forehead, holding what seems to be a spoon in one hand, with a big bulbous tail behind it and cried out- "Kadabra!" screamed the Pokemon, making Pikachu to grit his teeth and growled out.

"Kadabra?" Ash mutter lightly while going into his pocket, then taking out his Pokedex, in order to get some information from the Pokemon. With the dex turning on and blue lights flashing.

"Kadabra- the Psi Pokemon: It is theorize that this Pokemon was once a young boy, who couldn't control his Psychic powers. And turned into the Pokemon." Informed the Pokedex, as Ash places the dex back down, humming lightly.

"Pikachu, can you still continue on?" Ash called out towards his buddy, who turn his head and nods, then faces back forward to the Pokemon. Looking up at him, who stared back down. Lightly twirling his spoon between his three digit fingers, while then looking up towards Ash...then towards one of the Pokeballs, sensing Gardevoir's presence.

Which then and Pikachu, who tilted his head confusingly, saw what seems to be a fond smile? Having the electric type to turn his head and faces at Ash, then back to Kadabra? Wondering if he can...or is able to sense Gardevoir's presence, then got ready when the battle was going to continue. "Kadabra, Psybeam." Sabrina commanded, watching the psychic type to have his eyes glowing blue, then aiming his spoon forward!

"Pikachu, use Agility to get out of there, then counter with Thunderbolt!" Ash called out, watching the little mouse zip away from the Pokemon, before a multi-color beam came right off the spoon, straight at the spot Pikachu was at and exploded, then turning his head over where Pikachu had began running, zigzagging through the battle arena, with Kadabra continuing his attacks couple more times! Hoping to get least one hit in, with explosions appearing here and there on the battlefield, which the Pokemon.

Saw the Pokemon, turning and facing towards him! Firing off a powerful thunderbolt attack right towards him- "Barrier." Sabrina ordered, and watches the electricity bouncing right off from the barrier shield, "Now Psychic," Sabrina quickly said with her eyes glowing.

Which Pikachu, who was going in still with his speed and ready to use Quick attack on the Pokemon. Yelps out and felt his body being lifted in the air, his entire body! Being covered in psychic energy, with Kadabra eyes glowing and staring towards the Pokemon, "No, Pikachu! Quick Thunder-"

"Finish him," Sabrina ordered and watches Kadabra nodding his head, as sparks began coming from Pikachu's cheeks, before he yelled out in surprise! Being flung straight towards the ceiling and letting out a loud, painful grunt! And then yelled out in agony when he came flying back down towards the ground, hard and fast...and possible cracks of bones, possibly being broken.

"STOP! Pikachu is getting hurt!" Shouted Ash and watches helplessly as Pikachu was thrown back into the air, watching the mouse eyes closing and opening between pain and determination. Of keeping going, though yelled out again, from being flown straight down to the ground, "Stop it, stop!" Ash cried out and watches Pikachu, slam into the ground again. Where the boy closed his eyes and tries hard to ignore the cries Pikachu was letting out, before gasping and breathing heavily.

"Pi...Pikachu..." Growled the electric type, who began forcing himself up onto his feet. Making Buneary, screaming and shouting out towards the mouse to stop the fight, not to keep going. Getting bit teary eyed, at the pain he was going through and is barely able to stand on all four of his feet. "PIKACH!" And fired off his Thunderbolt towards Kadabra.

"Persistent little rat," Sabrina commented, watching Ash's eyes widening in shock of his friend. Still wanting to keep going and fight, "Confusion, send the thunderbolt back." Sabrina said coldly, while lowering her eyes. Making Kadabra, who sighed lightly move his hand upward and grabs the Thunderbolt in midair! Making Ash, Pikachu and Buneary to widen their eyes and then watched the attack, swerve around and began chasing Pikachu!

"Get out of there!" Ash called out, watching his friend scream in agony when the Thunderbolt, shifted and changed into a terrifying looking dragon head, and slams right into the Pokemon! Causing a loud explosion to erupt on him, sending the Pokemon flying straight towards the far east wall! Covering and engulfing the Pokemon, in static of electricity of his own attack. Making Ash to go and run off towards Pikachu, with Buneary following right behind him!

Making Sabrina and the young girl to stare and watch the boy, running on over towards his partner, who was covered in dirt, bruises and light scorch marks from his attack k. Over charging himself from the Thunderbolt, being sent back to him. "Pikachu, Pi...Pikachu!" Ash called out softly while scooping the male Pokemon into his arm, lifting the Pokemon up and stare worryingly towards the Pokemon, who was breathing heavily and barely able to move or even flinch.

"Aerry..." Whine the rabbit Pokemon, who was doing everything she can not to cry or get tears running down her fur, as she walks closer to Pikachu. Who was panting and breathing very heavily, making her heart get pulled and pain, from seeing how hurt her love one is in. "Buneary..." She choked lightly and leans forward, before nuzzling lightly on his forehead and gave a light kiss.

"He...he will be alright, don't worry." Ash reassured her and gently rubs the back of Buneary's head, who look up at him and sniffled lightly, before glaring towards Sabrina. Hearing the little girl giggling and laughing a bit, while bouncing her white rubber ball. Making Ash to grit his teeth and glaring towards the two females.

"Oh goody, now that you are on your last Pokemon? We can finally have fun with Gardy! She always brings amazing fun times, especially with her screams!" Exclaimed the little girl, "Come on, send out the scared Gardevoir, we know she's with you and is cowering right now." Stated the girl coldly, watching Ash standing up and biting his lip a bit, while shifting his gaze left to right, trying to figure out what he should do?

"Send her out, now!" Demanded Sabrina, while having her eyes glow. "She must be punished, she must receive her judgment. Gardevoir will pay, pay for what she did to Emily, to me and my entire life of misery!" Declared the girl, having Kadabra to lightly sweat drop and stared towards his trainer, before facing forward and looking towards Ash.

Hoping the boy will just forfeit and flee the gym, he doesn't want to see another Pokemon hurt. In pain from Sabrina's cold punishments and demeanor...He himself, is too strong for any Pokemon Ash might have with him! Gardevoir and him, Kadabra- were Sabrina's two strongest Pokemon on her team...and are always equally matched and evenly powerful. Downside is...he has Ghost type moves, to harm Gardevoir and...well, with his strong connection with Sabrina? The trainer can easily mess with Gardevoir's mind, and easily get inside her head and mentally hurt the female Pokemon.

Not because of him though, because of how close they used to be when they were kids. Sabrina and Gardevoir were...always together and arm to arm. And now, because of that link and Gardevoir's somewhat stubborn refusal of breaking such link, despite the torture Sabrina sent her through? The female psychic type, refuses to break her bond with Sabrina...hopefully, when Gardevoir disappeared and was sent to Professor Oak? She finally broke the bond she has with Sabrina.

"What are you waiting for? Send out your last Pokemon. You know Gardevoir, is the only way for you to win against me." Sabrina said coldly, making Ash to growl lightly and stare at the Pokeball. She was right...if he tries sending out somebody else, who isn't Gardevoir? They will get beaten up and badly hurt from the crazy gym leader.

The boy picks up Gardevoir's ball, while clutching tightly against it. Guessing whatever feelings the female is having, is going to be quite traumatizing emotions. Who knows what kind of history the two had with one another, even what kind of horrible things they went through. Well- whatever the case was or is? He need her now and ever, if he is to win this Gym badge!

"Listen, Gardevoir?" He began whispering to the ball, while softening his gaze. Having Pikachu and Buneary, looking up at him as the bunny. Was tending to Pikachu's wounds, "I don't know what kind of experience you'd had with Sabrina? But-" then looks up. At the scowling girl, who seems to be emitting more energy from her psychic powers. "Right now, I need you to be strong, need you to be ready and willing to fight your previous owner. For the gym badge, but also..." then looks to Pikachu, who s struggling and forcing himself in getting back onto his feet.

"But for Pikachu, for Flareon! They gotten this far and fought hard, reaching to Sabrina's final Pokemon." Then faces forward, noticing Kadabra's sadden look... Who then steel his eyes, ready to fight and take on whoever the next Pokemon will be; knowing it is Gardevoir. "So please...do your best, and come on out!" Shouted the boy! Throwing the ball forward and releasing the psychic/fairy type Pokemon, onto the battlefield!

Watching the female Pokemon forming in front of everyone, having her eyes closed...Shut tightly, refusing to even look at Sabrina in the face! Knowing she will have too; the Pokemon tilt her head ever slightly to Ash, quivering her lips a bit at him. Watching and taking note of Ash nodding his head and grinning.

Hoping that she will be confident in her fighting with Sabrina, assuring her that. Things will work out and they will get through this! Gardevoir, sighs but softly smiles and nods a bit before turning to look at Sabrina. Rage...hatred, sorrow, depression and anguish. Those were the feelings she was receiving from Sabrina.

ALL of them, directed towards her- "Oh goody, Gardy is here!" Cackle the living doll who hovered forward and began bouncing her white ball, "now the fun times can begin! Sabrina, let's teach her a lesson!" Giggled the doll. Making Gardevoir, shake and quake in fear as the emotions were rising even higher from the gym leader!

Who's eyes turned dark and menacing, her green long hair rising up and spreading outward a bit. Ash and his Pokemon shivered, while quickly grabbing onto themselves in hopes of warming up from the temperatures, dropping literally below 20 degrees!

"This is payback Gardevoir, Kadabra!" Sabrina thrust her right arm forward! "Shadow ball, full volley!" Order the female gym leader. Watching the Pokemon, hesitating a bit and turns to her...then back at Gardevoir. Who got her guard ready, with arms raising up for defensive purposes- watches the Pokemon in front of her.

Raising his spoons above his head, eyes glowing menacing blue; just like Sabrina's. Began summoning dark energy all above him, having ten different dark ghostly looking orbs, appearing above him! Large and wide, making sure they all will hit and harm the female Pokemon- who in return gasps and widen her eyes in complete fear!

"Gardevoir, dodge it and counter with Magical leaf!" Ash quickly shouted, throwing his arm side to side. Watching things move quick and fast before him, gasping and shielding himself! When the first two Shadow ball's, came hurdling down towards Gardevoir! Which the first one exploded after missing Gardevoir!

Who leap into the air, while then throwing her arms eastward! Throwing her weight away from the second shadow ball, that erupted in front of Ash, Pikachu and Buneary- making them shout in surprise from the powerful blast! Ash, quickly moved his hands away, feeling his jacket flapping from the gust of winds, before widening his eyes and gasping!

The third and fourth orbs came spiraling towards Gardevoir, whom landed back onto the ground- was preparing Magical leaf. Only to widen her eyes and stop halfway! Screaming in terrible pain and agony when both attacks? Separated from one another and then- Clashed right into each side of Gardevoir! Purposely and slowly squeezing the female Pokemon between the attacks, causing her to shriek out and scream in agony!

"Yay, yay, yay!" Said the doll disturbingly, "those are the scream we remembered! Those are the fun screams Gardy is known for!" Cackled the deranged girl. Watching in delight of Gardevoir's plight! While Sabrina...hasn't made a single expression. Still holding onto the scowl and rage behind those eyes- a finger twitch against the side of her hip, before clutching them into a fist!

"GARDE-" Ash couldn't finish his sentence, as he was forced to stop and shield himself from the explosion, the two Shadow balls had made after finishing up with his Pokemon! Sending her into the air, greatly bruised and covered in burnt marks= her white and pale looking skin, was no covered in slight soot and brown spots of the impact the attack made! Her dress literally shredded and torn near her legs, the straps keeping the dress on were snap in two, barely covering and keeping her body hidden from spectators.

Despite that and the pain- Gardevoir still managed to up right herself onto her feet, sliding back with horrible pain. Slouching down terribly close to the ground, collapsing a bit. Catching herself before hitting the floor, and stood upright! Throwing her arms out and ready to fire back with Magical leaf!

"YOU KILLED HER, YOU MURDERED HER!" A voice rang through Gardevoir's mind, causing her to gasp and stop in mid-attack. "You destroyed her, made her drown, made her suffer in the hospital!" The voice continued saying in her head, causing the Pokemon to just stand there in distraught.

"Gardevoir, whats wrong?! Go and use Magical leaf quick, before Kadabra sends more Shadow balls!" Shouted her trainer in concern and worriment. Getting through to her, had the female shaking her head and gritting her teeth!

The attack went through, but only about 7 rainbow color looking leafs were produced. Soaring through the air and heading straight towards Kadabra! "Defend yourself, and punish her with Zen headbutt!" Sabrina commanded, watching her Pokemon nod in understanding.

He threw down one Shadow ball, while making the others disappear- shielding himself from the Magical leaf attack, that struck and caused the orb to explode! Covering the entire battle arena with smoke and debris, making Gardevoir. Shield herself from the sharp winds that were blowing in her directions, squinting her eyes in hopes of being able to sense where Kadabra was coming from.

"Watch out," Ash managed to say, but was to late on the draw. For when the smoke moved forward and tunneled for her? Kadabra was already in front of her, causing her to step back and raise a hand- only to yelp and get hit hard! In the chin from the Zen headbutt, lifting the girl into the air with her gasping loudly, and then screamed with eyes bulging!

When Kadabra followed up with a Thunder punch to the breasts, forcing all the air out of the girl and screeching in terrible pain! Forcing Ash, Pikachu and Buneary to widen their eyes and even feeling their hearts getting caught in their throats- at the horrible sight of Gardevoir body. Bending forward with electricity coursing throughout her entire being, her right breast being punched inward, with the dress.

Tearing and ripping apart from the access electricity, then gets slammed down into the floor with the loudest boom! Anyone in their lifetime will ever hear! "GARDEVOIR, NO!" Screams Ash, watching the Pokemon...struggling underneath the thunder punch! Kadabra, was not letting it stop, making sure the move will continue to harm and injured the female Pokemon.

"Torment." Sabrina ordered next, wanting to make matters even worse! Though torment- is a Pokemon move that causes the opponent, unable to use the same moves twice. But if used correctly and with a skilled trainer? It can also be used in other ways too, as once she commanded the move?

Gardevoir's screams intensify! Making Ash to stare in disbelief, unable to feel anything in his body responding, just...being forced to watch and stare at Gardevoir. Being tortured and hurt by her original owner, Sabrina's malice- it was intoxicating and can now understand why it is? Most trainers who come here to challenge her, always loses...

"Stop it..." His voice cracked out, watching Gardevoir's head thrashing left and right, gritting and grinding her teeth against one another, "Stop it..." he tried again. As the wails the female Pokemon was making, it wasn't one should even be able to do! It was a murderous scream...one that people uses, when they are being well, killed!

"You should've been the one to die." "You should have drowned in the lake." "You should have been the one, in that bed!" Sabrina's words echoed over and over in Gardevoir's head, wanting to completely break the female! Break her into being nothing, nothing but a murderer! A monster that should have taken Emily's place, "You will pay." "You will die." "You will feel her suffering."

"GARRRRR!" Gardevoir screamed one last time, as she felt her entire body slowly becoming limp and un-moving, charred...bruised, black and blue and completely and utterly destroyed.

"I SAID ENOUGH!" Ash screamed and ran out into the battlefield! Raising his fist in the air, "KNOCK IT OFF!" And punches Kadabra across the face, surprising the Pokemon greatly when he staggered back! Canceling out his thunder punch and torment attack. Even dropping Gardevoir, completely into the ground- having the psychic being to blink his eyes owlishly at the sight.

The young man literally came out and punched him away from the Gardevoir! No doubt, he had gotten badly hurt when he did so, and it showed...cause Ash's arm- the one he used to punch Kadabra away? Was limp and un-moving, but was on his hands and knees, grabbing Gardevoir by the back of her head, shaking her and frantically calling out her name over and over!

"Gardevoir, Gardevoir! Please wake up, wake up, come on now! You can't do this..." Ash began shaking the girl, his voice trembling and breaking apart as he watches the limp form. Not responding at all, just...still and lightly cold.

Pikachu and Buneary ran on out as well! Hoping to come and assist anyway they can for the female Pokemon. And Sabrina, just watches from her box...ignoring the fact her Kadabra, was glowing and morphing before everyone, activated his evolution and becoming Alakazam.

"...Do you forfeit?" She suddenly asked with a reverberated tone to her voice, a eerie purple glow surrounding her frame. Watching Ash pausing, shaking and trembling horribly in place. Before lowering his head and gritted his teeth. "Do you for-"

"What do you think-" Ask snapped back with a cold tone, "Shut up and leave her alone, you don't deserve to be anywhere near her." He growled darkly and lifted his head. His orange eyes, showing great anger and threatening to punch the girl there and now. "What you...how could..." The boy then held Gardevoir closer to his chest, watching Buneary- the youngest of the group!

Stepping in front of Ash and growling, baring her teeth towards the female trainer! With Pikachu, battered and bruised. Walking up next to her and sparking his electricity, "You had no right to do that to her, you had no right! Harming Gardevoir, torturing her like-"

"My Pokemon- I can do whatever I want with her," Sabrina said coldly back, making Ash raise his head a bit, "She doesn't belong to you, nor does she belong to anyone!" And began raising into the air. "She belongs to the devil! She belongs in hell, for the crime she committed in the past...what she took from me, my family and my childhood!" Shouted and snarled the girl. Becoming demonic the more she spoke, allowing her powers get the best of her!

The entire room went dark and cold, power of electricity began sparking around Sabrina. Whose blue eyes showed hatred and sorrow, "And I do...whatever I want with her! She's my partner and she must repent!" She yelled and threw her arms forward, gathering what look to be powerful energy, "And you, your Pokemon- will share her fate!"

"After all! You did agree to be our playmates!" Cackle the doll, who appeared behind Sabrina. Making Ash, Pikachu and Buneary to yell in shock, while then being grabbed by the boy. Using his back a a shield to take the blow, "Now say good bye to your freedom, as you will be playing with us forever!" Laughed the girl.

Ash closed his eyes and hugged everyone close to him! Making Sure Gardevoir's head, rested against his chest, with Buneary and Pikachu in between him and her as they could hear Sabrina shouting out, "NOW DIE!"

Then came the boom of the energy she was charging up- being fired upon them! The area they were huddle began glowing scary purple and pink, waiting for the attack or whatever she has in mind for them? To land a direct hit and finish them off!

"HYDRO PUMP, BLASTOISE!" Screamed a female voice from the entrance, as rushing cannon like water, blasted forward and clashes against the attack Sabrina was using. Erupted and splashing water everywhere! Causing Sabrina, to yell out in pain and clutched her forehead tightly, getting bad feedback of the two moves landing and connecting to one another.

"What the-?" Sabrina barely said, before looking up and widening her eyes with a insane expression.

"Hey, no fair! No outside help!" Retorted the young girl who blinked her soulless eyes down towards where Ash was, whom,. Who had his Pokemon close and tightly against him, lifted his head and open his eyes slowly, before turning towards the direction of Sabrina-

"Cindy and Blastoise?!" And then turn to the right, seeing a man wearing what seems to be a track suit, "And some...random guy- wait who are you?" He asked. Before the man look at him and then up towards Sabrina.

"He helped me get inside, warning me that you were in trouble." Cindy informed while looking towards him, "What is odd, he knew how to get through the entire building. Without missing a beat, once we got to the door? He told me to get Blastoise out, and order him to use Hydro pump."

"..." The man didn't say anything, neither did Sabrina. As the two of them were in a heated stare down, glaring at one another. Before Sabrina, turned her eyes on Ash once more- getting a reading on him and hopefully, change him on the spot. But? Was having a difficult time doing so, let alone...unable to get through a even stronger force of power.

"Someone left a strong Psychic bond with him, preventing me from able to do anything on him. Who could've done it?" Then shifted her gaze back at the man. "He is not that strong, so no way he would have made a psychic link to Ash. Preventing any mental harm done to the boy..."

"Teleport!" The man suddenly said and had everyone there, transported right out of the gym room. Making Alakazam, who recognize the man and had somewhat of a smile. Falter a bit and tilted his head, curious- why would he suddenly leave like that and not help with Sabrina's problem? Then again, after what he and she did to Gardevoir? While also, to her trainer and friends...he probably wanted to get Gardevoir treated, before anything else.

"Oooh, that man is always getting in the way! It was his fault after all, for giving us Gardy in the first place!" Shouted the doll. Going back to the floor with Sabrina, doing the same- "I mean...who does he think he is? Prancing about and getting playmates away from our fun times! It isn't fair."

"...Father, what are you up to?" Sabrina whispered lightly as she stares at the spot, Ash, that Cindy girl and Ash's Pokemon were at. "You fail last time, what makes you think this time around? You have any chances of changing my mind." Then turn to Alakazam, who look back at her. With a small grin crossing her face, "doesn't matter...I now have the power to finally rid of her." She gleamed darkly, as something sparkled near her wrist, as she rests a hand on it. "She won't escape next time...he will come back, they always come back." And turns around, walking on back to her room. With the doll and Pokemon, following right behind her.

Xxx

After being rescued and brought to the nearby Pokemon center- thanks to Sabrina's father? And Cindy, Ash was brought to the waiting room by the father, as Cindy: went and explained how she needed to head out, but forewarn Ash. That he should not go and rematch against Sabrina again, if he value both his life and Pokemon...

Course he would listen and heed the advice, but- he won't. Not after figuring out that Gardevoir and Sabrina, apparently were together once? With Gardevoir, having somewhat a messy history between the two of them, where Sabrina has stated that Gardevoir- within their past, had done something terrible and needs to be punished.

Honestly, it was to messy and getting involved with something like this? No doubt, will bring even more trouble and confusion...unless? Ash tilted his head upward a bit, staring across the room, where the father was leaning up against the wall, waiting for the conditions of Ash's Pokemon and Gardevoir- was the man right here! Who can go and tell Ash, the history between the two used to be closest friends. He listed his head up and removed his hat from his head.

Gently between his fingers as he is about to speak up when- "If your curious of the two, forget it." The father suddenly said, "It is the matter between them and not you, you have no-"

This had Ash growling and rising up onto his legs, "Damn right it is!" He shouted and thrust one arm towards the healing ward. "She nearly went and kill my Pokemon, MY best friends and family! I have every right to know what is wrong with that girl's, mental health and why it is. She is so intent on killing Gardevoir, torturing her and beating her till there is no breath left!"

This caught the man off guard and stayed silent, figuring to let the boy ant out. "Ever since coming here, Gardevoir...she-she has been acting," Ash began saying, only to start choking up and clenching his eyes shut, "...she's been crying ever since we gotten here, always being silent and keeping things to herself." He then lifted his head, gritting his teeth. Trying his hardest not to show weak emotions, but his love for Gardevoir and her health; were getting the best of him. "I need to know, who is Emily! Who is this person Sabrina brought up during our match, saying something about her killing the girl!"

The man- just stayed silent, looking into the raw emotions going through Ash right now. The heavy breathing the boy was giving out, the way his muscle were tensed and concerned for the Psychic/Fairy type- were true and strong. "...She say anything else about Emily?" The man asked.

Ash blink his eyes and stared, then nod his head no- "Humph," chuckle the man and uncrossed his arms, "then if Sabrina was able to slip up and told you her friend's name. Then you do deserve an explanation." He informed, getting the young trainer to hum and harden his look. Not before the two got interrupted by the healing song being done.

Then followed by Flareon bounding her way out with glee and Pikachu, soon after. Running on over to the boy, before Flareon knocking him down into the ground. Kissing him and licking his face eagerly! Yipping and barking out, how she wants to battle again! How exciting that fight was and how awesome and cool, Ash was while commanding her! It was quite odd for the trainer to hear that.

But couldn't help but smile and laugh, barely getting her off from him. Which Pikachu, happily walks over, though looking to be concerned about something? This is when Nurse Joy came through the door next, looking a bit worried but at the same time, having a calm expression. "Excuse me Ash, is the Gardevoir yours?" She asked. Making the young trainer to look up, then nods. "Well-" Then hands him her Pokeball, "she didn't go back to the Pokeball...after the healing treatment was done. And kind of left the Pokemon center."

"WHAT?! Why- why would she run-" He was about to ask, only for the father to clear his throat and calmly places a hand on Ash's shoulder. "Huh, I have-" He was about to argue only to stop when the man smiled at Joy.

"No worries Joy, I know this young man's Pokemon personally. She didn't run away, she just went to her special spot here in Saffron, to clear her head." He informed the female Nurse. Who let out a relaxing breath, though had a curious yet suspicious look, then smiled after he said- "The Gardevoir, actually used to belong to my family and daughter." Then shook Ash a bit.

"Had personally requested Oak, hand her over to a trusting trainer. After something went wrong couple months back." And with that and Joy, accepting the answer. Went ahead and heads back to her station. Flareon and Pikachu, both look to one another and Pikachu shrugged- not entirely sure what that was about, then both look back to the man and their trainer.

"Special spot huh-" Ash stated in a suspicious tone, crossing his arms and facing at him. "NOW! I want know what really happened, care to explain it to me? Sabrina's father," Ash hummed at the end and leans forward to make the man tell, having the father to chuckle sheepishly and scratch the side of his cheek.

"Eheh, guess I have to now since the Meowth is out of the bag." The man sheepishly said and then cleared his throat, before placing his hands onto his hips. "Alright, but it is quite a lengthy and long story I am about to tell you. You sure want to know, this is not going to be a pretty tale." He asked again, then both males let out a yelp, when the rest of the Pokemon. Came out from their Pokeball's, Lucario, Ninetails, Meowzy and Blaziken.

Though Blaziken had other objective in mind, as they all went and listen intently to the story the father was giving out. Which Blaziken stayed long enough to get a gist or understanding of the- well, her partners life, closed her eyes and groaned lightly. Before going ahead and leaving the building...she couldn't believe what she heard so far and, ironic how she behaved around everyone-

She and Gardevoir, had the almost exact trainers and treatment they went throughout their lives. Though unlike herself, Gardevoir's treatment- was that of being accused of murdering a close friend of Sabrina, a childhood friend. And right now, she believes and reliving her past again, blaming herself and being forced to accepting that she is a murderer!

Not on her watch Blaziken thought, she isn't going to have one of Ash's party member- have the same behavior like herself! Nor, will she have Gardevoir, the teasing and up beat Pokemon she was before coming here. Becoming nothing but a prude and sad excuse of her former self...that, and well. She secretly would miss the constant bickering and fights they have between one another- it's...Fun to have someone there, to vent out or let out some steam.

Yeah, flamethrower Ash's face here and there whenever she comes out is fun? It won't be the same without her arguing buddy. That! And Gardevoir, besides Pikachu, is the only other Pokemon who will stand up against her and speak her mind- even despite those thoughts, should be kept to herself. Shaking her head and sighing out, while walking down and through some of the roads and sidewalks.

The Pokemon widened her eyes after sensing...a long forgotten emotion she ever felt, being brought in the air...the same direction of where Ash and his friends. Had gone and have a picnic – the Park! The female Pokemon turn in the direction and soften her eyes lightly, the emotion... It is quite strong and can be felt easily everywhere in the town.

Hell, it was even effecting some of the children in the nearby areas where she is at. Even hearing some of the younger children, babies crying out and reaching out for their mothers. Having Blaziken, to tighten her talons and growl frustratingly at whats happening. But...she herself can't help but understand where the Pokemon, is coming from. She just witness seeing her trainer again, and was almost killed by her- again apparently. That is definitely going to be rough for any Pokemon, who had to come back and see their trainers again like that.

Either way, she is making the young children become sad and were crying on a beautiful day! Making the parent's become concern and asking them, of what is wrong? That...won't be justify under her watch! Huffing and steeling her nerves, shook her head and began marching forward. Heading in the direction of the park, where the emotional Pokemon was apparently at. Well, one thing for sure? Blaziken, is going to give her own piece of mind!

Xxx

Gardevoir, who is by herself and sitting alone in the park. Was up on a hill top, looking down below the fields and lake, watching the many people and Pokemon playing around. Messing around and having an enjoyable time of the day. Making the female Pokemon to sigh into her arms, slouching her head more into it, curling her legs tighter into her breasts and chest. Feeling her hair blowing gently from the soft breeze.

Her eyes filled with sorrow, still bit black and blue from the fight she had earlier with Kadabra; a natural thing that needs to heal on it's own, as the Pokemon center's healing station. Can't really heal normally, so it has to be done by natural causes. The girl let out a low breath of air, while lowering her eyes halfway, before focusing her attention towards the lake- having images flashing back to that horrific day of the accident.

Watching and replaying the events in her head, of the girl falling and Sabrina blaming her for everything. Then Sabrina, changing ever slowly into the person she has become today. But- what is odd in her mind? While they were fighting the gym leader? Besides the constant words and dark images Sabrina, was sending through her thoughts and mind...Gardevoir, could have swear she has also been hearing a young girl's voice, echoing through the rage. Asking and pleading for help and has no clue where it even came from?

"Voir," she whined lightly and stuff her face between her legs and huffs, figuring the voice was probably just her own, pleading for Ash to save her. "Gardevoir..." She muttered again and then heard grass being rustled behind her, having the female to sniff lightly and lifting her head. Ever slightly away from her arms and shifts her ruby eyes, towards the person behind her. "...Gardevoir?" She muttered towards the female behind her, who pursed her lips to the side a bit and then shrugs.

"Blaziken..." Blaziken retorted with a not sure, "Ken, Blaziken," then stats how she felt the emo Pokemon's raw emotions, flowing through town and figured. Too have her knock it off, even turning to face her and glares. "Ken, blaziken, ken!" She raised her voice, shouting out how Gardevoir. Is causing the young children to cry out for no reason!

Alerting the psychic type about this and faces towards the town, before sighing and hiding her face in shame, "Voir, voir..." Gardevoir apologizes to the fire starter, explaining to her that she will try her best to keeping her emotions to herself. Making the stubborn starter to shrug, while mouth lightly to herself and mumbling, how she better get it under control. Making the female fairy/psychic type to growl lightly and just stuffs herself more into her feeble upright position. "Gardevoir, voir!" And growled out what it is she wanted, if it wasn't to have her stop making the children to cry.

The girl felt the grass rustling some more and feels the fire bird sitting on down next to her, with a soft plop on the grass. Watching the female boobs, squishing against one another and then bouncing freely after letting her one leg out. "...Blaziken, ken?" She suddenly ask Gardevoir, of why she is running away from her problems? Making Gardevoir to stare lightly at her and then faces back forward, not answering Blaziken's question. Having the female to scoff and face forward as well, "Blaziken, blaze, blaze." Saying how she doesn't recall Ash, training a scared Pokemon at all. Let alone, having them start running away form battles.

Making Gardevoir to huff, but couldn't help but remark back with a teasing look. "Garde~ Gardevoir?" Saying when she ever call's Ash, by his first name? Making Blaziken to shut her eyes tightly and felt heat around her face, as Gardevoir leans a bit. "Gardevoir? Voir, Voir!" And pressed on the question, asking when did this happen or why it is, she is respecting the boy by his name?

Then snicker a bit when Blaziken's response, was to hit her hard in the side. Getting her to yelp, then rubs the spot before resuming to face forward. Just sitting there with the girl- letting the soft breeze gently caress them and blow against their bodies.

"Ken..." Blaziken asks once more with a so, then turn her eyes at Gardevoir. Opening up her talon, "Blaziken, blaze, blazi?" She asks the girl, of why it is that she doesn't want to face Sabrina? Besides...the rough history between the two, then glares. "Blaziken, ken." Asking and why is it that she is allowing Sabrina! Of all people, to get inside of her head like that and allowing her to prevent her from battling!

Making Gardevoir to just sit there, closing her eyes and gritting her teeth. Hearing the female go on and on, about how she shouldn't allow someone like that to get to her. A bitch, as Blaziken would call Sabrina, messing her up and going inside of her head. Forcing the Pokemon to not fight, let alone able to even counter attack! Asking what the witch even think she's doing, messing with trainers Pokemon.

"GARDEVOIR!" Scream the Pokemon, while blasting Blaziken away with a psychic force! Literally knocking her off from her spot, landing hard into the ground on her back. Making the girl to blink her eyes in surprise, while throwing her upper body up. Staring towards the female, SHOCK! Mostly at how she reacted like that, even blasting her in a way of...protecting or standing up for Sabrina. Which would have anger Blaziken more about it, but... She could not do so.

After all, she probably would have done the same thing. If her trainer wasn't a complete ass to her and left her for dead, reasons. She still doesn't know, but Gardevoir? Who widened her eyes and looks away and folded her hands together, hiccuping and sniffing lightly, softly apologizing to Blaziken for her out burst. Having the female starter to sigh a bit, then shook her head, "Ken...Blaziken," stating how she has nothing to apologize for.

Obviously what she and Sabrina had together, with the father's tale? Was quite the close relationship between one another, making the fire type to readjust herself and leans on her knees. Not to worry about her position or exposing her private area, when there's no one around. "Blaziken, ken?" This next request she had ask, threw Gardevoir in a loop.

Whom was wiping away the tears and sniffing a bit, softly hiccuping before stop rubbing her eyes halfway and turns her head cutely, over at Blaziken with one thumb under her eye. "G...Gardevoir?" Asking why does she want to know, her relationship with Sabrina? Then softly rests the hand down against her knee, especially when Blaziken looked towards the lake. She understood the death part, and how it happened. That she doesn't need to hear, but what she wants to hear is how close is Gardevoir with Sabrina?

"Blaze...ken, ken..." Blaziken softly says or asks, if their relationship? Was anything like Ash and hers? Making the Psychic type to stare a bit and then looks away, before fumbling her lips and slowly crept out a soft smile.

"...Gardevoir." Making Blaziken to whip her head at her, watching the blush forming around the girl. "Voir, voir," the female nods to Blaziken's question and looks at her. "Gardevoir," Saying they were...lovers. Laughing at the expression Blaziken had on her face, before it went to a you joking expression, making Gardevoir to giggle. "Voir, voir...Gardevoir~" Giggle the Pokemon, saying how she was just messing around.

Making the female fire Pokemon to sigh, then look back at her. "Blaziken," saying be serious, wanting to truly want to know. What is their relationship? And Gardevoir, moved her ruby eyes downward and sighs... Saying how any other trainer and Pokemon are. They were close friends and partners, nothing ever could get in their way. This had Blaziken humming a bit and leans lightly forward, when Gardevoir went back to brooding...

Bringing lot of concern for Blaziken, considering if she goes back to brooding again? Those bad emotions will spread out again. Ready to say something, Gardevoir sighs and lightly snicker. Letting her know she won't be spreading her sadness, relaxing the female a bit. Before facing forward and down at the lake.

"Blaziken," Blaziken suddenly chirped, "Ken, Blaziken ken." Stating how Ash, will probably need her to fight again, against Sabrina. Moving a hand up a bit and lightly flexing her talons. "Ken...Blazi, blaziken." Then went on and stating the boy is quite stubborn. And will probably go back and re-challenge Sabrina again.

"Voir," Gardevoir's tone was dark and threatening, saying NO. Making Blaziken to stop and leer out into the open, "Gardevoir...voir, Garde!" She continued ranting, saying how she isn't going back. Not ever again, will she go and face Sabrina off. Rather Ash wants her too or not! She refuses to fight against the girl again, refusing to see another Pokemon and trainer getting harmed. This- right here had caused Gardevoir to pause, making Blaziken to look over at her with a snap of her head.

She heard her correctly? Does Sabrina actually go out of the way and harm trainer and Pokemon?! Which Gardevoir whines lightly and closes her eyes, having horrible images of her past...ones where she used to be Sabrina's Partner. Fighting and defeating her opponents or challengers, that comes to the gym and fighting them. Making Blaziken to look over at the girl, before facing down towards the psychic type's hands and took notice of how shaky they were.

The fire starter then looks up to Gardevoir, watching slight tears coming out and dripping down to the ground below her.

"Voir, Gardevoir...voir." The Psychic Pokemon continued with her tale, explaining how every challenger that entered? Would be leaving out with nothing but badly bruises, couple of their body parts, sort of bent in a way they shouldn't.

Even the Pokemon they go and use against Sabrina? Were terribly injured that, she makes sure that they will think twice about ever doing another Pokemon gym battle, or continuing their journey. Too which Blaziken went ahead and interrupted, "BLAZIKEN!"

Shouting out, does she want that to happen to Ash?! OR any of the other Pokemon on his team? "Ken, Blaziken, ken!" She ranted on about how the boy, will no doubt will keep going back there until they win! Until he can prove to Sabrina, they can win against her strong team! She pounded a fist into her right breast, stating how Flareon and Pikachu! Managed to get through and defeated not only Espeon, but Mr Mime as well! And they were badly injured from the fight, yet still pressed on into winning!

"Blaziken, ken-"

"Gardevoir!" Gardevoir whip her head and shouted towards the female. Saying does she think she already knows that? And look back down to the ground, holding her head. "Voir, voir, Gardevoir!" Stating and shouting out with somewhat of a whine, about feeling the raw emotions Ash is giving out! The determination to keep going and be strong, despite what the odds are! Is intoxicating her and even wanting herself, to keep fighting and going!

"Blaziken, blazi." Blaziken roughly asked what was stopping her. Then began growling down at the female, who went silent and didn't answer her. Making the fire Pokemon to click her tongue and look away, "Blaziken." Pitiful she said. Making Gardevoir to just lean her head move into her knees.

"When did we ever had such a pathetic creature on our team?" Stated Blaziken, quoting the exact same sentence her own trainer, said about herself. Now understanding the meaning behind them... She was pathetic herself, because of her need and drive wanting to show her love for owner. For her trainer, in hopes of giving it back to her- yet, would not give it back. Nor did he had interest in somebody like her, who all she wanted to do...was share her love.

Gardevoir just stared wide eye at the ground, "Ash and the other Pokemon are working hard, trying to find ways of winning the match. And here you are, being consumed by your own sorrows and fears...because of what happened to this Emily person."

Gardevoir sniffled and tightly shut her eyes and shook her head, before gasping when Blaziken said- "I will take your place then!" And had Gardevoir turning her attention towards the standing mon, wide eyed and greatly scare for her safety!

"N-No, you can't! You are weak to psychic types, you will get hurt and injured, Sabrina will make sure that you will-"

"And then I will just get back up, do it again and again. Until I can win." Blaziken retorted and gave a light, yet faint smile and looks down at her hand. "That is something he always do, will always do whenever something is going on... He keeps getting back up, no matter how much he gets knocked down." This had Gardevoir silent and watches Blaziken, who look at her with determination. "I am not going to let some 14 year old, show me up...Especially to a yellow mouse, who keeps pushing my buttons!"

Then faces completely at Gardevoir and sneer, "You- on the other hand, can stay in your ball. Fill with guilt and misery, knowing your not only failing to keep Ash going and watching over him. But, failing yourself." Then crosses her arms and closes her eyes. "Self-doubt will only make you weaker, and self loathing yourself will make you feel even worse. But what is truly miserable?" And turns her back on her once more, before clutching her talons, "your failing to be there for your mate in life- I hope you can live with such guilt Gardevoir." And left it at that, as Blaziken went ahead and heads on back to the Pokemon center.

Gardevoir, who watches Blaziken leaving, stared at her back for couple of minutes. Before looking back towards the lake, taking into the words she has spoken to her. Shifting her eyes left and right, trying to figure out what it is that's she suppose to do? Even going far as to reach deep within her heart, for the right thing to do. And it was telling her 'to be with Ash and make sure nothing bad comes to him'.

"Help me...Why won't you help me Gardevoir, why won't you help me."

"Murderer's don't help, they only kill,"

"Please help me Gardevoir, please."

Murderer's only kill, they don't help."

"Save me from myself please...I beg of you."

Which Gardevoir lips quiver a bit and then...curved upward with a tear falling down.

Xxx

"Mr mime is unable to battle, this match goes to Pikachu!" Declared the referee inside Sabrina's gym. Ash and Pikachu were panting and breathing heavily through out the entirety of the match, with Buneary- who is right next to Ash. Was quivering where she stands, watching the two working hard in winning these fights.

Which surprisingly, their second attempt through? Were really good! Flareon managed to easily out power and maneuver Espeon, without wasting to much energy. Thanks to Ash letting Flareon know about how, her species after looking them up through some computers. Were known to be quite the heavy physical hitters, and wanted to help teach her a move that not only will benefit? But also, help increase her speed as well- Flame charge!

A fire type move that enhances the user's speed by each use out of it. And boy, was Flareon hard to catch for Espeon and Sabrina, making it one sided fight between the two eeveelution Pokemon; while Mr Mime, was struggling a lot to keeping up with the female Pokemon. Managing to knock her out after twenty minutes in the fight, which Pikachu took her place and began fighting the Fairy/Psychic type.

Despite, already using up energy from Flareon? Mr Mime, was still a tough Pokemon to fight against, but they managed to get through without wasting any energy at all. Pikachu, just needed to catch his breath and is making Buneary happy to know, her mate is becoming stronger and stronger throughout these battles they go through! Might even someday out perform Blaziken at some point!

"Alright, Alakazam is her last Pokemon. Pikachu already used up energy fighting Mr Mime, but if we're careful and using his speed? We might be able to weaken him, just enough for..." Ash pauses and remembered this morning, Gardevoir wanted to be no where near them or possibly the gym. Making Ash, having to substitute her, for another Pokemon. Which is kind of hard to do, considering the other four he has? Aren't exactly resilient against Psychic types, with two being completely weak to them as well.

"Right, Gardevoir didn't want to come. And from what Sabrina's father has told me," Then lifts up a small jewel from his pocket and opening his palm, having a rainbow coloring to it. With a odd symbol in the middle, along with the small bracelet that came with it. "The reason why Gardevoir was sent to Oak, was because of him. He didn't want Sabrina to harm her or kill Gardevoir. Because of what happen between her and Emily."

He sighs and closes his eyes. Clutching the gem and bracelet in his hand, "And knowing that, along with Sabrina forcing Gardevoir or having her try to harm previous challenger's Pokemon? He did not want that life style for her..."

He then looks up towards the battlefield where Pikachu was standing, poise and ready to continue fighting as Alakazam was sent out after Mr Mime was returned. "What I am about to give you, is something that may help you... But, I doubt you have the experience and skills to even using quite the power." The father's voice echoed in Ash's head. "It is a Mega stone, or Gardevoirnite. A means to allowing Gardevoir, to go even beyond her limits and own evolution to the max. It is only possible if both Trainer and Pokemon, have a deep connection to one another and trust for each other. That you will be able to acquire this power."

Ash then looks back to the stone, "But considering how things are? I doubt even Gardevoir, will accept such power against Sabrina. Go home...or go find another gym to challenge young man. This is something you are not capable of winning on your own." And then places the bracelet around his wrist, smirking and chuckling to himself.

"Heh no way old man, I am not backing down. My Pokemon and I are the stubborn type, we make sure to finish things that we've started. No way we are running away from our dreams!" And places the Gardevoirnite back into his pocket, before facing forward and saw Sabrina staring towards him.

"Do you honestly want this match to be like last time?" Sabrina threaten and harden her eyes, "Your Pikachu...this time around, won't be moving an inch!" She declared and swung her arm down, blinking her eyes when Ash responded back.

"Good luck trying! We know how you fight now, despite our strengths being completely out match." Ash bump his fist forward, "There is always a way around such strength! I learned a lot through my journey, my friends...My Pokemon, we have learned a lot the past two months! And now that we understand, how we should work as a team and fight our battles?" And tighten his fist with great determination. "Well...the lessons we learned wouldn't be put into good use, if we run away!"

"Pikachu, Pika!" Pikachu added on and excitedly says that is right. Watching the girl lightly raise a curious brow, making Alakazam do the same, but at the same time. Smiling! Almost matching to that of Sabrina;s own smile, and not a scary kind either.

"I see..." And then closes her eyes, having odd emotions running through her entire being. "You are fighting to prove yourselves, but not only to yourselves. But the lessons you have learned from others, from your friends and Pokemon." And then opened her eyes.

"Your not scared at all about losing your Pokemon?" Then blinked her eyes when Ash chuckle and nods.

"Of course I am scared..." Then looks down, "heck, scare that if we lose this match? I will feel bad about myself, for failing my Pokemon. Believing it will be my fault that they had lost this fight again, because of my own faults." Then looks towards her, sensing Buneary and Pikachu looking at him. Even Blaziken, inside her Pokeball- was listening intently to the boy's encouraging words. "But without our failures and mistakes? We won't become a better person we once were, nor will I become a Pokemon master! If I stayed in the past forever, I won't be able to move on."

Flashes of Flareon's trainer came into mind, "I want to be a trainer who will be there for them," Then Meowzy appeared next, "to hopefully help guide them in the right direction," then Nidoqueen. "With them guiding me in the right direction as well-" And then Leaf and Robert appeared next. "Without them, I wouldn't be the trainer I am right now..." Then Gardevoir. "I won't leave their side- not ever, not now." And then opened both eyes. "And right now, my heart is telling me, letting me know there are those who needs me right now."

Then thrust his arm forward, "By helping them, defeat you! I hope to bring the once bond the two of you have, so get ready Sabrina!" Then got into his battling pose, with Pikachu doing the same baring his teeth, "Cause, we're going to win this fight!"

"Brave words, for a brave fool-" Sabrina muttered out and shook her head. As the doll next to he cackle and giggled, then looking to Sabrina for a bit. Only to then blink her eyes at the sight of the girl, staring down at the floor... hands trembling a bit. "So- you believe you could help her...Help her into fighting me, when she can't win." Then glares at Ash with gritted teeth. "Then where is she! If you so want to help her out, where is Gardevoir huh!" Shouted the girl, slowly losing her emotions a bit.

"Breeny?" The doll responded, scared of what's going on. Even Ash and his Pokemon were also curious of what's going on? She-she never lost her cool before, when they first fought her? Right?

"Thought so," Cackle Sabrina with a light hiccup, "She was always too scared, such a wimp when it comes to these type of things!" And then began tightening her fist, digging her fingers into her hand slightly, "Always running, always having others help her out, in hopes of making sure things become better!" And then whips her head up, surprising everyone in the room.

Tears...they were tears coming from her eyes, and that scary energy of hers, were beginning to flare around her. "Then I guess you will take her place then, for her punishment and judgment!" She shouted out and clench her eyes, "it's her fault, it's all her fault! All her fault that Emily is gone, her fault that she left me behind! Wallowing in this pain and suffering, unable to stop the emotions...these feelings burning inside of me." She began chuckling and laughing, bringing a lot of concern for everyone there.

"Breeny, breeny what's wrong!? Why, why are you upset?" Asked the doll and then gets blasted away towards a wall, surprising Ash and his team.

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" Stated Sabrina, while stomping her foot! Psychic energy growing ever stronger around her, "Your not real, you never were real! Leave me alone, she doesn't exist anymore! She doesn't exist!" Screamed the girl while clutching her head. "I won't let her come back, I won't let her break free!" Then turn her attention to Ash, causing him, Pikachu and Buneary to literally jump back in fright.

"You...you...you are doing this to me!" Sabrina then grin sickly, "no one around to save you anymore. Yes-" and began standing up right, levitating slightly above the floor. Causing the three to gulp and tremble in fear, "Your- your the second person who has ever made me feel like this. To make me lose my cool, my emotions...Yes, I now see why it is that she's so fond of you." Sabrina softly spoken. "Alakazam, teach that rodent a lesson-" Growled Sabrina as her eyes were bright blue, "We will show these scum, what happens when you make me angry."

"Alakazam!" Responded the psychic Pokemon, as he turn towards Ash and Pikachu. With the electric mouse standing his ground and ready to fight. But both froze and pause, when one of Ash's Pokeball's, burst open with the beam of light. Shooting outward and next to Pikachu, revealing Blaziken!

Who was ready to fight and work with Ash, against such an opponent. She made eye contact to Pikachu, who responded with a tilt of his head. Only to yelp when he was suddenly kicked out of the arena, while then facing forward. Hearing Ash and Buneary catching the mouse, while quickly looking towards her.

"Blaziken...A-Are you sure?" Ash asks, while standing up and smiling. When the girl turned her head at him, then back to Alakazam. Before going ahead and giving a thumbs up. "Alright, but you are sure?" Ash asked again, "This is a psychic type your up against- your going to be receiving a lot of damage from his attacks."

"Blaziken," She stated lightly while openly punching her talons, saying challenge accepted and got into her battle pose. With Ash grinning and turning his hat around.

"Alright then! Let's show them what we can do, and prove to them. We are going to be the ones winning this fight. NOW! Blaziken, go and use Shadow punch!" Ash commanded and heard Blaziken roaring loudly, while pumping her arms downward! Summoning ghostly looking energy with both talons and dash incredibly fast towards Alakazam!

"Alakazam dodge it by using Barrier!" Sabrina countered, watching the fire Pokemon reaching right in front of her Pokemon. Who managed to get the barrier up in time, from the first punch! That bounced off against it, making Blaziken to bend back a bit, but quickly slams her foot down and swung her body to the left! Throwing her other arm towards the Pokemon, who swiftly moved a hand up and used a small barrier to protect himself and gets sent backwards. Before, swiping both spoons together and block Blaziken's jumping attack!

"Flame thrower!" Ash quickly commanded, figuring since she was close? She can get off one of her other attacks! The girl nods and threw her weight down onto the ground, before jumping backwards! Firing off a powerful stream of fire towards the ground, so it will arc upward to Alakazam!

"Alakazam, Teleport and then use Psychic!" Sabrina called out while throwing her arms out. Gritting her teeth, watching the Pokemon just managed to teleport out of the way and appearing behind Blaziken! Twirling his spoons and began firing off a purple energy wave towards her!

"Blaziken, watch out!" Ash called out and watches the girl turning and does her best in order to dodge. But instead, summoned one Shadow punch and reaches out to hit Alakazam! Both attacks landing against one another, sending Blaziken downward to the ground, retaliating into a back flip and sliding against the ground.

While Alakazam, stabs both spoons into the ground and hops away. Coming to a slight stop, before hearing the next command! "Shadow ball, cover the arena with flurries!" Sabrina shouted, gritting her teeth and becoming...nervous for odd reason? Watching her Pokemon eyes glowing blue, and began spinning and twirling his spoons! Summoning purple energy orbs all around him, before firing them off towards Blaziken!

"You got this Blaziken, go in and use Blaze kick!" Shouted Ash, determined that she will get through! Watching the Female Pokemon taking a serious stance, before running forward and into the fray of the battle! Hearing Pikachu and Buneary, calling out and cheering her on!

"No way she will get through that!" Sabrina retorted with a cocky grin, then humphs when Ash countered with his own cocky grin.

"You be surprise what we can accomplish!" Stated the boy, watching the female Pokemon. Keeping an eye on the Shadow balls! The first one spiraling right on over to her, which the girl waited at the last moment, then dive rolls forward evading the first one. Which exploded behind her, then began front flipping and leaping into the air, dodging the second one that was zooming straight towards her!

She then counter the third Shadow ball, by using Blaze kick on top of it, and then the fourth one by its side! Sending her straight back to the ground, as she knee slide across the floor and bend her body backwards, evading the fifth Shadow ball, then hand stand jump away from the sixth one! Coming up into the air and spinning her body around, summoning flames around her feet and delivering a heavy blow!

Right across Alakazam's face! Who shouted in pain and slide towards the right of Blaziken, then grunts out, from Blaziken landing on the ground and delivering another spinning Blaze kick right into his chest! Sending him back from her, "Quick, Shadow punch!"

"Psychic!" Sabrina shouted as well, watching Alakazam quickly recovering in time, before Blaziken could reach him, then grabs her in a psychic hold! Making the fire Pokemon to gasp and grunt out in pain, feeling her breasts tightening against her chest.

"Hey wait, What happened to Torment and Thunderbolt?!" Ash asked with surprise, which Sabrina grins and shook her head. While then tapping her head, being quite cocky now.

"I got rid of them, seeing how fast your Pokemon moves? I figured to be on the defensive side, and made sure Alakazam knew Teleport and Barrier, to protect it from your physical attackers." Ash gulps, well he was screwed! All his Pokemon, minus Ninetails and Gardevoir? Were all physical attackers, and having a Pokemon who knows Teleport and Barrier, to defend themselves from said physical attack?

WHILE, having range moves...yeah he is totally screwed! "Well, doesn't matte! Fire blast Blaziken!" Ash shouted and shocked Sabrina greatly, as the fire Pokemon grins through her hurting position, opens her mouth and fired off a powerful Fire blast right into Alakazam!

Who widened his eyes and yelled out in pain, after getting hit and blown back from the girl! Releasing his grip on Blaziken, who fell to the floor. Breasts dangling and bouncing a bit from the impact, coughing and clearing her throat wildly, from the injuries she received from the Psychic move. "Keep your guard up! Watch-" Ash began saying.

Too late though, as when Blaziken looked up from her spot. Widen her eyes and about to move away, only to get blasted hard by five Shadow balls, one after the other! Sending her up into the air and then even more after the second one, then came falling down when the third Shadow ball? Curved upward and slams down into her stomach, with the last two following suit!

Not before missing, when Blaziken through sheer will power. Managed to pull through the pain and slams a hand into the floor, and flips herself away from the attack. Slowly turning her body around, ready to fire off a Flamethrower-

"Psychic," Sabrina called out with confidence, having Blaziken to widen her eyes. The air literally getting knocked right out of her! As she felt pressure all over her body, before flying into the ground the last thing she saw. Was Alakazam, teleporting right behind her and thrusts both hands forward! Sending the female straight into the ground, then tossed her towards Ash;s direction!

"No, Blaziken!" Ash cried out along with Pikachu and Buneary, watching the bird flopping and rolling against the ground, before quickly recovering and getting onto her hands and knees. But for naught, as the female couldn't move or even stand up! Her body was covered in nothing but black and blue, bruises and dirt covered her red feathers and body. Her tan like hair was messy and slightly charred from the constant attacks from the Shadow balls. "Are you okay, can you move?!" Ash quickly asked while moving forward a bit.

Watching the girl grunting and struggling to getting back up, but collapse once more onto her hands and knees coughing. Then chuckled and laugh lightly, "Ken." Nope, is her response and look to Ash, who sighs and shook his head. Then nods in respect, making her to widened her eyes and softly smiles.

"Hey, not bad for a fighting type! I can't believe-" Though the speech was short lived, when both they and Blaziken. Turn their attention towards Sabrina, raising an arm up and smiling darkly, "You...uh, what is she doing?" Ash stated silently and felt fear creeping up inside his body. Even Blaziken was feeling fear, as the girl seems to be pressing onto a stone on a. "WAIT! Is that-that!?"

"Mega Evolve Alakazam! Time to show them what true punishment is like, and why they shouldn't take us lightly!" Announced Sabrina. As raw energy began flaring out from the ring, with purple and pink like energy, swirling around her and darting out to Alakazam!

Who smiled under his breath and felt himself glowing and being filled with renew strength! Being covered what looks to be a pink like bubble! Surrounding the Pokemon, levitating into the air and then breaking out, with burst of energy! Causing Ash, Blaziken, Pikachu and Buneary to shield themselves from the sharp winds blowing against them!

Buneary, scared for her life, went and ran over behind Pikachu. Shaking and trembling behind him, whimpering out how dangerous the energy feels! How bad it felt, as they all witness for their first time ever- Mega evolution!

Alakazam burst out from the bubble and was now having seven different spoons levitating above him, his legs. Ina meditated pose and was hovering above the ground, his double mustache, turned into a beard. Same coloring but now supporting a gem in the middle of his forehead! Looking completely different and powerful.

This had Blaziken growling in frustration. So much for showing a thing or two towards this very unstable and emotional gym leader- who apparently is slowly losing her mind throughout this battle. No doubt, he psychic powers are messing with her thought process, considering. One would need a calm and meditated mind, to keep their psychic abilities in check.

"As I said before," Sabrina chuckle and rests her arm back down to her side. Grinning sickly, "You and your Pokemon will know despair, will suffer and be punished along with Gardevoir!" She claimed, making the group to stand their ground and gritting their teeth. "Nothing you say, will stop me...everyone...everyone deserves to be harm in my gym! For taking her away!" She screamed and thrust her arm forward- "Alakazam! Shadow ball, full power make sure that Blaziken has learned her place!" Shouted the girl, who eyes were definitely one of losing their minds and emotions.

Ash steps back along with the others, while Blaziken grunts. Trying everything to get back onto her feet, so she can protect herself from the next attack! "Come on Blaziken, you can do this! Get up, you got this!" Ash cheered on! All of them hearing the attack being charged up, preparing to be used and fired upon on the fire type. "Come on, come on you got this, you got this! I believe in you Blaziken!" Continued the boy, watching Blaziken doing everything she can to getting up.

Hearing Pikachu and Buneary cheering her on as well, wanting her to continue fighting and beat the Gym leader, show her that they will be walking on out of here. With the gym badge in tow! The female chuckle and groans lightly, making very slow process of getting up. But at the same time, is able to getting up to a crouching position, struggling and groaning heavily from the weight of the pain.

"That's it, that's it!" Ash cheered out and pumping his arms, watching the girl slowly getting up and recovering nicely! Only to then- they all paled and heard Blaziken gasping, as energy surrounded her and forced her onto her hand knees!

"Nuh-uh, not this time! You won't get away from me, nor will you be leaving this place at all." Cackle Sabrina, who had her eyes glowing and one hand stretching out towards Blaziken. "Not to worry, I will be sure that Blaziken- or Gardevoir, will feel your misery from wherever she is." She informed, making Ash and his Pokemon to stare owlishly at the girl! "This is her punishment for running away, hiding like a coward that she is! NOW Alakazam!"

"Alaaaakazam!" Shouted the Pokemon who finished charging up a very large and powerful looking Shadow ball, straight towards the team! Making Blaziken to widen her eyes and struggle's, to getting free of Sabrina's psychic hold, trying everything to toss and turn her body around! Thrashing about, ANYTHING! Too make the stress on her mind that more painful!

Buneary hid behind Pikachu, while Pikachu does his best to hug her close, then the two felt Ash kneeling down and grabbing the two of them close- Then push them over to Blaziken. Who widened her eyes and watches Ash run around the female and Pokemon, throwing his arms out .Going to be using himself as a shield for them all. "No worries, I will take on Sabrina's punishment head on!" He said to his Pokemon, while turning his head, smirking. "I can't be a master, if I let my Pokemon get hurt right! Especially over something that happened in the past!"

"Then you will DIE!" Sabrina called out with great anger and frustration in her voice. Watching the move soar through the stadium, breaking apart the ground and heading straight towards them- then exploded on contact! Causing large amount of fire and smoke to appear everywhere, nearly engulfing one half of the arena, with winds blowing the smoke in many directions! Having Sabrina's long green hair, to blow and whip around from the impact. Making her to sigh lightly and doing everything she can, to calm herself down.

"What-" She suddenly said, feeling something transcending through her spiritual energy. Forcing her to bug her eyes wide open and shook her eyes in disbelief of the sight in front of her! Even Alakazam, was shock to seeing it as well! Both of them, couldn't believe their eyes!

There a pink energy orb surrounding in place of the smoke! Gathering rainbow coloring stream of energy, around it and inside of it. Similar to how Mega Alakazam had gone through with his mega evolution, then the girl yelped when the giant orb. Breaks and exploded with immense energy! Causing a small pink aura in front of Alakazam and Sabrina! With the gym leader gritting her teeth and threw her arms down, sweating slightly at the incredible power.

"So- you finally came...and not only that? But able to summon that power, from this trainer?" Sabrina stated coldly, watching the pink energy disappearing before them. Showing Ash who had shielded himself for impact, along with his Pokemon. Slowly lowered his arms and gasp at the sight in front of him.

"Did you finally decided to take your punishment...Gardevoir?" Sabrina asked with a cold stare. Watching the female taking on an entirely different shape, which isn't to much of a change from her regular form. For Ash's eyes though? It was like looking at an angel, her green hair had gotten a bit longer, curling around each side of Gardevoir's face and gently brushing along her cheeks. Her height changing ever slightly, being bit taller than him. Her dress popping out from her body, cascading down her slender frame like a waterfall, the dress going forward to the front of her body and began wrapping around the upper part of her chest. Showing off her new sleek and firm looking backside, that is exposed all the way down to her lower back, while the dress formed tightly and snugly towards the front.

Her chest pushed outward a bit, expanding her newly formed F cup breasts, showing off lot's of cleavage for her pale moonlight skin of hers, showing off the sides of her boobs from the dress as the chest stone of hers. Pokes out in the middle of the cleavage, to hold the dress up. Her face gotten more softer and vibrant than her previous form, with her ears going downwards instead of outward!

Her eyes opened up slowly, revealing beautiful violet colors to them as she then spread her arms outward with a cry of her name, having parts of the dress wrapping around her forearms and to the dress gloves that reach up to her elbows. With the mega evolution symbol appearing in front of her and then disappearing, finishing up the Mega evolution...Using every ounce of power from the stone? That it caused the Gardevoirnite, to break apart and shattering onto the floor!

Like a small boat, out on the ocean~

Ash and the other Pokemon stared in disbelief of what just occurred in front of them, with the boy. Smiling and grinning widely, letting out all the pent up air he was holding, "Oh thank goodness...I knew you'd come Gardevoir." Ash said to the female, who tilted her eyes and then turn her head over at him, smiling brightly. "How are you feeling, you up for this?" He asked curiously, watching her nod and look down to Blaziken.

Sending big waves- into motion~

Gardevoir eye smiled to Blaziken, "Gardevoir, voir!" Saying and telling her thanks, for keeping Sabrina busy enough, for her to think over her actions and choices. Making the fire type to roll her eyes, while looking away sheepishly with a blush. Getting some light snickering from Buneary and Pikachu, while nodding at the Psychic/Fairy type, when Blaziken responded back.

"Ken, Blaziken," Telling her if she runs away now, she will just hunt her down and drag her sorry ass back into this ring. Earning a few giggles from the Psychic Pokemon, who then turned serious and looks back over to Sabrina, who stared back.

Like how a single word- can make a heart open~

"So, what? Because you acquired Mega evolution? you think can still beat me and Alakazam," Growled Sabrina. Glaring daggers at her and tightening her first, "Just because you got new powers, your confident that you can win...Can escape your judgment?" Cackle the girl with her eyes closing, shaking her shoulders. Making Gardevoir to close her eyes softly- hearing the faint cries of help, echoing inside of her mind.

But only have one match- but can make an explosion!

All those things I didn't say- wrecking balls, inside my head~

"Gardevoir," Ash suddenly spoke and looks to the girl. Who turn her attention ever slight to him, "Are you sure your up for this, we're still new with Mega evolution." Asked the concern trainer, while then smiling at the response he got. Which was Gardevoir, facing forward and giving a thumbs up.

Sending images to the boy's head, letting him know that; Mega evolution is not all that different. Just gives more strength and power to the Pokemon and Trainer. As Sabrina scoffs and got back to being serious, "Strength or not, the end result will be the same! Now prepare yourself! Cause-" And then began flaring strong psychic aura around her body,even Alakazam was doing the same.

I scream it out tonight- Can you my voice?

THIS IS MY FIGHT SONG!

Both Pokemon let out powerful energy aura's from their bodies and dashes forward to one another, with Alakazam summoning Shadow ball's between his hands, extended them away from his body and began moving forward! While Gardevoir, began twirling in midair right at Alakazam, summoning Magical leaf at the Pokemon.

Then flew out of the way at the nick of time, after getting close and having the trail of leaves, slamming straight towards Alakazam. Who thrusts both hands together and expanded the Shadow ball width, to protect himself from the move!

Take my life song- prove I'm alright Soooong!

MY POWERS TURNED UP!

After getting a good distance away from Alakazam, Gardevoir land onto the ground. Allowing the speed to have her slide across the floor, then brought her hands together and forming her next attack! Moon blast, in between her hands, while firing small bursts of them at Alakazam! Who turn his head, after finishing defending himself and began teleporting from the first Moon blast!

Then the next one, soon followed from the first one. Then jumps out of the way from the third one, all three making explosions from their contacting to the floor. With Alakazam countering back, with Psychic attack to Gardevoir!

Who leaps into the air from the first wave of energy, then dives down to Alakazam, twirling away from the second wave of Energy, while then crouching down after landing back on the floor from the third wave! As she gets up and sucked in a lot of air, before thrusting her body forward! Letting out a powerful scream! Using Disarming voice, as pink energy sound-waves flew rapidly to Alakazam!

Starting right now, I be strong- I'll play my fight sooong~

And I don't care if nobody else believe~

The move didn't make it as Alakazam, grunts out and uses Barrier, in order to try and redirect the attack in another direction, which was the ceiling! That exploded and caused rubble to fall on down towards the floor, covering bit of the arena in smoke, with Gardevoir and Alakazam staring each other down across the room. With Violet eyes, staring into cold blue eyes, resembling Sabrina through Alakazam.

CAUSE I STILL GOT ALOT OF FIGHT LEFT IN ME~

Memories flashes towards the times, they've spent with Emily. The similes and happiness she brought for the three of them, along with making Sabrina quite the happy girl. Who is now like this, one of emptiness and sorrow, unable to move on or accept what had happened to their close friend. All her hatred and anguish were all focused on Gardevoir.

Who breathes out a soft sigh, relaxing her muscles and flexing her fingers. Hearing the cries much better now, coming through both Alakazam and Sabrina, the girl- was pleading for help. Her powers is becoming to much for her to handle, and all because of her anger to the world? OF taking Emily away from her life, is the cause for Sabrina's suffering.

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep, everybody's worries about me~

I'm in too deeep- yeah I'm in too deep~

Alakazam heard the commands from Sabrina, and nods. Summoning another flurry of Shadow balls around the room, there being twelve like last time. With Gardevoir, watching and staring at the energy materializing before her. Hearing Ash calling out to her, shouting how she can use Magical leaf to shield her body, firing them off whenever a Shadow ball gets close!

Making the girl to smile and nod in acknowledging the amazing plan, then darts forward with incredible speed! Bringing forth her magical leaf attack, to surround her body and being. Moving swiftly through the arena floor, watching Alakazam carefully! In order to be sure of when he starts throwing the Shadow ball!

It's been two years, I miss my home~

There's a fire burning deep in my bones- yeah still believe~

AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS I DIDN'T SAY!

WRECKING BALLS INSIDE MY BRAIN- CAN YOU HEAR MY VOICE THIS TIME?

I'll scream them out loud tonight, can you hear my voice this is-

Alakazam began throwing his spoons around and arms in different mannerism, making the orbs above the air. To begin tracking downward towards Gardevoir, who shift her gaze upward at the sight of the attacks, smirking to herself and began moving away from the direction of Alakazam. Hearing Ash calling out to her, about zigzagging through the fields!

MY FIGHT SONG- TAKE BACK MY LIFE SONG~

Prove I'm alright sooooong~

After heading out into the arena, the girl began twirling her body a bit. Throwing her arms out in a scooping motion! Firing off one row of leaves to the first Shadow ball, that was nearing her rapidly. Then spins into the air, using the explosion to push her momentum forward! Increasing her speed greatly, evading the second and third Shadow ball's that came down soon after!

Making more explosions and winds to carry Gardevoir forward! Who began firing more rows of Magical leaf, at the next few Shadows balls that were being thrown downward! Instead towards her, causing each one to explode, one after another! Covering the entire area in nothing but smoke and debris, making Sabrina and Ash to grunt and shield themselves from the massive power the two Pokemon were producing against one another!

The entire arena was filled and covered by the smoke cloud, no one is able to see what's happening within the clouds. Except for Pink glowing light and purple light clashing into one another within the cloud!

MY POWER'S TURNED UP~

Starting right now, I'll be strong, I'll play my fight soong~

The two Pokemon that were in the clouds, were using small Shadow ball and Moon blasts, within their hands and were going head-to-head against one another. Using them as means of punching gloves, with Gardevoir bobbing and weaving through the first two punches, while she goes jabbing forward in a one two fashion!

Making Alakazam to back away a bit, though does a over head punch to Gardevoir! Making contact to her cheek, forcing her to stagger back and then yelp when she then got punched from the right cheek. Though counter by upper cutting into Alakazam's stomach, then overhead punch right into his left cheek, sending him back! While clashing her hands together to fully form the moon blasts, while firing it forward with three shots!

With Alakazam doing the same, by clashing his shadow ball's together and firing off three as well! Both Pokemon screaming out in pain! Rocketing straight out of the smoke cloud, that dispersed immediately when the attacks landed! Clearing it and showing the trainers, of their Pokemon.

Being hit and blown away from their multiple attacks, bouncing and lifting off the ground with each hit they took. With Gardevoir grunting and hitting the ground hard, sliding across the floor! Causing her dress to open up a bit, then gently lays onto the ground. But- the female still managed to get up and fired off Magical leaf to Alakazam!

While Alakazam, who also went through the same thing, levitated himself up and fired off a full power Psychic attack towards Gardevoir! Both moves exploding and erupting against one another in a large white dome. With Gardevoir gritting her teeth, with Alakazam doing the same. While everyone else, including Sabrina, stared in awe at the massive power the two Pokemon were showing!

And I don't really care, if no one else believe~

Cause I still got a lot of fight left in meeee~

But Gardevoir and Ash both widened their eyes, when Alakazam suddenly teleported right behind her and jabs a Shadow ball fist, right towards her back. Causing the girl to scream out and fly forward a bit, then again after getting another punch to the back. Before the Shadow ball grew tens times larger than her, and blasted her forward! "GARDEVOIR!" Cried out Ash and the other Pokemon.

A lot of fight left in meee~

Sabrina smiled darkly but also mix in with sadness, as she watches Gardevoir bruised and charred body, bouncing and rolling against the ground, slowly coming to a stop after a minute or so. Having the girl laughing very silently, before raising her hand up. "See now Gardevoir? Your nothing but weak, pathetic...You always want to do things the easy way, or finding other ways to make sure you don't have to fight!" Exclaimed the girl, talking down to Gardevoir.

Who was flinching and clutching the floor with her fingers, listening to Sabrina speak. But also, the crying voice increasing in volumes, pleading and hoping for the female Pokemon to break on through and save her. Making Gardevoir to grit her teeth and began rising up from the floor. "Your spineless you know that, you- you always...always run from your troubles!" Sabrina continued, sounding like her voice is breaking up a bit, as tears for unknown to her.

Were beginning to fall from her eyes and hitting the floor beneath her."Why don't you accept it and just give up!" Screamed the girl, "You never fight anyway, you always ignore me and run away from me! So give up like the pathetic creature you are, or the murderer you are!"

"Hey shut up, you don't know what Gardevoir went through!" Ash retorted with his fist rising up a bit, "She suffer the same amount as you did Sabrina!"

Like a small boat, on the ocean~

Gardevoir coughed lightly as she managed to raise her upper body from the floor, listening to Sabrina and Ash jabbing to one another- "What do you know! You never experience lost like I have! Never experience, someone dying right before your eyes!" Gardevoir then began resting a hand against her knee, panting and breathing lightly.

Sending big waves, into motion~

Like how a single word? Can make a heart open~

"I may not know what it means to lose something or someone close to you, but I have seen it in other eyes." Ash stated and looks down to the ground, "Heck, even know the fear behind losing someone. As a close friend of mine, had almost lost his life! When that Nidorino attack the town and poisoned him..." And clench his hands tightly, recalling how Leaf? Almost risked her life battling a Muk in the basement of the hospital, that were causing Magnemites to run rampant and losing power to the hospital.

This had Sabrina glaring darkly and eyeing the boy intensely, going through his memories of the event. Which were true and felt her heart, breaking at the sight of this girl Leaf and his friends mother, nearly losing the boy. Tugging at Sabrina greatly as the girl's eyes, which were soulless...were beginning to have emotion and life back to them!

Gardevoir felt the emotion and grins, as she began getting up completely and standing upright, covered in nothing but dirt and charcoal on her body. Panting and breathing heavily, dirt covering her upper corner of her lips, which she grins it upward. Making Ash and Sabrina to stare towards her and then wide-eyed at the power radiating off from her and flexed both hands out ward!

I only have one match- but I can make an explosion!

THIS IS MY FIGHT SONG!

BOOM! Gardevoir flew right towards the unexpected Alakazam, who staggered back and tried moving one of his spoons above his head forward, to block the Thunder punch! But watched them break apart before his eyes, while screaming in pain when Gardevoir's made contact!

TAKE BACK MY LIFE SONG!

Gardevoir didn't stop there and continued her attack, leaping forward and punching down into Alakazam head, which cause Sabrina to let out a scream of pain! Feeling her psychic connection wavering from her to Alakazam! With Gardevoir leaping backs and charged forward once more, at Alakazam!

PROVE I', ALRIGHT SONG~

My power's turned up!

Who managed to open his eyes and gather Shadow ball's around his hands again, then began throwing his fist forward! Connecting with Gardevoir's right Thunder punch, making the attacks spark out and deflecting the two away from each other, as Gardevoir twirled forward! Using her left hand to smack into Alakazam, who raised his right arm upward with the Shadow ball. Wincing and grunting in terrible pain, as he was trying his best to keep the attack from pushing him away.

Starting right now, I'll be strong! I'll play my fight song~

And I don't really care, if nobody else believes~

Though Gardevoir won the power as she let out a loud battle cry and blew Alakazam away from her! Causing him to lose his telekinetic powers, and falling down into the floor! Hands and knees, as he then whip his head upward and hears Gardevoir, continuing to keep her battle cry going and powering up a very massive and scary looking Moon blast!

"ALAKAZAM!

"GO, GARDEVOIR! Both Ash and Sabrina said separately, watching Gardevoir throwing her entire body forward at Alakazam! Moving the large moon blast to him, as the Pokemon panic and began crawling away on the ground, letting out a scream when the move landed right on top of him and exploded!

Cause I still got a lot of fight- in me~

Gardevoir who landed back on the ground, felt the energy leaving her and retreating the female back to her regular self. Panting and breathing very heavily, as she stares over at the battlefield. Where the knocked out Alakazam was! Who also returned back to normal, having swirls in his eyes and groaning heavily from the pain...

Making Sabrina to gasp, making Ash to gasp, making Pikachu and Buneary to gasp! Even the referee gasps as well! They couldn't believe it! Hell, Sabrina couldn't believe that the once refusing battling Gardevoir, she used to had? Stepped up onto the plate and performed incredible, making the female gym leader with life back in her eyes, to gasping ad breathing a bit, losing her cool slightly and getting overwhelmed from all the emotions rushing into her. Then whip her head towards Gardevoir, who was beginning to march forward! "N-No, stay-sta-stay back!" Shouted Sabrina, who began stepping away from her.

While Ash widened his eyes at Gardevoir, marching her way over to Sabrina! Making him be worried of what she might do, and tries stepping forward! Only to grunt and felt a hand slapping into his chest, "No...let them settle this dispute once and for all." It was Sabrina's father, who teleported in, hopes that Ash may need his help once more. In case of losing the fight again, but was surprised to seeing the boy.

Able to knock Sabrina down to only Alakazam, while Kadabra first time run here. "But-but, what is Gardevoir?" Ash asked slightly while facing forward, having the Pokemon doing the same.

"She's finally letting go of the past..." Informed the man and smiled as Sabrina, slammed against the wall. Clawing and grabbing the wall much she could, as Gardevoir was now in front of her, towering over the girl, watching her rapidly breathing in and out of fear! Before she went and closes her eyes, ready to scream out from, whatever Gardevoir has plans for her, only to widen her eyes and felt secure and loving arms wrapping around her entire body.

Followed by their foreheads pressing against one another, then memories flashing through Sabrina's mind- The day of Emily's passing in the hospital, through Kirlia's eyes. Who had stayed behind the room, after Emily had went and called- "Kirlia wait...please..." called out the weak and tired Emily, as the girl tilt her head against her pillow.

Smiling weakly to the Pokemon, who blinked her eyes and walks on over, "Don't blame yourself Kirlia...please, the pain...The pain is going away. I can't feel it anymore." Said the girl having tears falling down her face, while smiling happily towards the sniffing Kirlia, who reach her hand out and rests it gently on the girl's own hand. Feeling how cold they were, "Can you tell breeny...when you get the chance."

Then the memory disappeared as Sabrina, was full blown crying right now as the last bit of words shared between the Pokemon and Emily were, "That I enjoyed having fun with her and being friends, and that...I had fun? I love her as a friend, and that she shouldn't get mad at you. If she does...tell her, I will-will visit her and make her see things correctly." Were the last words, before asking Kirlia to promise her weakly, followed by silenced.

"...Emily," Sabrina hiccuped out and began closing her eyes, "Emily, Emily, Emily!" Began Sabrina and began letting out all the emotions, finally out of her system. While holding and moving her face deep into Gardevoir's shoulders, feeling the two of them slowly going down to the floor. "I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry! I am sorry Emily, I am sorry Gardevoir, I am sorry, so-so sorry!" Continued the girl and laughed between each sniffles, as Gardevoir?

Had passed out on her and began sleeping on her body, making her laugh...Laughing louder and full on bursting, rubbing her face into Gardevoir and punching her shoulder, "Stupid Pokemon...what are we going to do with you..."

The father also had tears in his eyes, along with the others who were trying their best to be strong, turn their attention to the man. Who look back to Ash "Since Gardevoir has won and defeated Sabrina's last Pokemon, and bringing peace to a young girl's life. I declared that this battle is over and Ash-"

Then pause when Ash shook his head and nudge his attention to Gardevoir, "No, the real winner is right there. I just helped giving orders..." Chuckle the boy, earning some laughter from the father. Who agrees and declared Gardevoir, to be the winner of this battle. Earning smiles from Blaziken, who finally gotten completely up without much struggle! Clasping her talons together, then hums when Ash let out a surprise what.

"WAIT?! Blaziken, are-are you telling me yo could've gotten up all that time!?" Exclaimed the boy, while then face faulting onto the ground, when Blaziken shrugged her shoulders. Stating how yes, she could've continued fighting...but feign not too. Knowing or having a good guess, things will turn alright and that Gardevoir? Will make amends with Sabrina, getting everyone there to laugh at the distraught boy, while Gardevoir had a soft smile in her sleep.

"Here you go Ash, the Marsh badge." Sabrina informed and hands the boy, the gym badge. Smiling softly at him, "Thank you...for everything." She stated and had the boy looking up confusingly, before grinning. "If you weren't determine to coming back and rematch me? Gardevoir and I- probably would have never gotten things settle." She informed, and looks to the Pokemon.

Who look back, "Gardevoir...continue with Ash okay? You made your path with hi, and be wrong to pull the two of you away." Informed the girl, while giggling when Gardevoir nods, while proudly punching her chest, saying the boy will be lost without her. "Oh, what about the...Mega stone?" Sabrina suddenly asked, while the boy chuckle and shows the pieces.

"I think it's still bit early, for us to use Mega evolution. But I am glad it worked out in the end!" Smiled Ash and looks up, "Now you guys take care okay? And Make sure to be nice to your challengers!" He exclaimed, while waving good bye to the family, with Gardevoir bowing in respect and grunts. When Sabrina hugged her once more, making her to sigh and returning the hug back.

"Take care of him- there is something special about that boy Gardevoir," Then pulls away and wipes away a tear. "Alright get going!" She said happily waving to Gardevoir, who nods and runs after Ash the other Pokemon!

Friendships can be broken at time, sometime it takes forever to mend back together, and that friends will sometime never be back together. But the bond and life they once shared in the past, will always stay strong and true, no matter how rough the tides will be or passing of time? They always know, deep down that they have and will always look out for one another.

When the time calls for it, they will be there for you. Fight and stand beside you, as true friendship never dies. The bonds they hold deeply, will only grow further on, despite how far apart they may be... They will still be there for you, no matter what happens. Ash has learned an important experienced today and saw, how truly great friendship and bonds can really be. As Gardevoir, fought to bring peace back with her trainer, breaking her free of her sorrows and anguish! As they look one last time to the smiling family and girl?

It reminded them that they too will become strong, no matter what the road may bring? Ash and his Pokemon, will always cherish this moment of day. Of Gardevoir, surpassing the demons of her past and bringing love, back with her trainer. As our hero's journey...continues.

To be continued...
