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.

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.

"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.
