My life as ash

Chapter 17

4 days later

Today I reached saffron city. It took me longer than expected cause surge showed me around vermillion. I need to do beat Sabrina by making her laugh. The saint Anne leaves in a few days, so I don't need to stay here for long. Thank god. This place is weird as hell. It is like the pokemon music from the first game was played 24X7. It was way less creepy but un describable. It was like trying to describe a color. Impossible,

The anime showed the city but missed the vibe of the down. Hell even the aura generated here was weird not exactly depressing but unique. I could sense Sabrina and her psychic energy from a mile away. The people were nice and they looked largely unaffected. They were not influenced in anyway. It was almost like the energy had become a part of them

Now a good counter. A jokester, or some sort of physical comedy. Pikachu can make the best off Faces.So if I somehow lose, I can make Pikachu Mimic some one. I can use gabite against kadabra. Charmeleon has also been hungry for action. Ari had reached 1.75 meters and had stopped growing.

The ghost tower incident with cubone had not happened. The city looked more like the anime then the games. I had to remove my extra gravity and instead used my aura to protect my mind just incase.

The second I stepped into a gym, My presence was felt by someone." Anybody here? I wanna challenge the gym leader""How curious, I can't quite seem to read your mind."" So you gonna accept or should I leave?""no need, I accept."

The entire arena looked normal, so no unfair advantages." This will be a one on one match between gym leader Sabrina and Ash Ketchum from pallet town". The referee looked like a mindless puppet, his eyes were hollow and his voice flat. Man I would not want to be him.

"Go kadabra""go gabite ise dragon dance and be on the lookout, she can communicate telepathically". Gabite started powering up when kadabra was enveloped in energy and gabite was lifted off the ground." Don't panic, you can break free with physical power" that is completely true. My first research topics in this world included psychics. Their mental strength has a limit which can be physically broken.

Gabite eventually broke out but by then kadabra has launched a confusion and a psycho power. Gabite dodged the first one but was sent back a few meters by the second one." Dragon rage and quick attack." Gabite roared and started zigzagging along the field unpredictably while building up speed. At the height of its speed it hit kadabra in the back

" don't stop, that was an illusion, trust your other senses"Gabite listened to my advice And hit a piece of air that morphed into a karna when hit. Thank you mount moon training." Kadabra recover""don't let it, keep on hitting it with heavy attacks" kadabra was able to recover but it still had a few wounds.

" dragon dance" kadabra was once again covered in energy"dodge". A plan formed in my head." Dragon dance" It tried to attack again" straight through, dragon claw". Sabrina normal strategy was to keep enemy's on their toes and use recover. It also relied on kadabra teleport and speedy hit and disappear tactics.

Gabite even though fast was first and foremost a tank. So it went through the attack with minimal damage and Hit kadabra in the face. Teleport takes time to activate. It just seems instantaneous because a psychic trainer can see your next move and give the command in advance. Since my mind was blocked and my move was a surprise I managed to get the kadabra in the face.

When the dust settled kadabra was knocked out and gabite had a few bruises." It is my loss" her voice was a bit raw. Like she is not used to talking. Huh. I guess that oak and daisy might be sad if Gary is turned into a doll. Her behavior is more toned down but she still has the dolls with her. I can sense the life force from those dolls. Sigh the things I do for my morals.

" you know you should laugh more, a smile looks better on you." I opened a part of my mind that she wanted to read. It was to see if I was lying or not. She was genuinely surprised cause opening ones part of a mind was a sign of trust. While she was still shocked, pikachu went from my shoulder and started making a bunch of funny and cute faces at her.

It did not make her laugh but it was more than enough to make her smile. I stayed in the gym for a few hours and talked to her. She had a doll hobby(not the creepy kind) and she seemed a lot more childish in her tastes. I was playing psychiatrist and friend at the same time. She knew this but did not care. It turns out that her father had pushed her to the point of abuse. So I suggested to keep the father doll and release the other innocents.

Surprisingly it turns out all the people she had arrested were some sort of free criminals. Now I was a bit heroic( I saved anyone I could) I knew more then we'll enough that even the best of the best systems had flaws. I left the next day after giving her my number. It wasn't romantic or anything. We were just friends and that worked fine for me.

Sabrina felt almost like an anti-hero. Doing good by breaking the law. I was always a anti-hero type my self, never liked that joker was not killed.

When I left the town, it felt a bit different, it was just as unique as before, but maybe a bit more pleasant.
