VS

===============================================================================================================

Gym Leader Sabrina – If it’s to keep my best friend here, I’m sure I can finally battle! I’ll keep you here forever! Teehee!

• Kadabra – Very Weak(?), Healthy

===============================================================================================================

“Three pokemon each, Emilia. I’m eager to get this over with, so let’s not waste any time. Hypno, go!”

Huh? Three pokemon? Didn’t she only have that Kadabra? Crap, you don’t even know what her other pokemon are. If it was just Golduck against her Kadabra, you’d feel pretty confident, but now you don’t know how things will turn out. Since it’s come to this, you’d better save Golduck until last.

Also, Hypno is creepy! What is it, an old man pokemon!? Sabrina’s pokemon are weird!

“Dugtrio, go!”

As she suggested, Sabrina wastes no time with her first command. “Hypno, use Hypnosis!”

“Dugtrio, Dig!”

Fortunately, Dugtrio gets underground before Hypno’s attack lands. He rushes to the other side of the battlefield fast enough to hit Hypno before it can dodge. Hypno is staggered, but still fully capable of fighting. Not the results you’d hoped for…

As soon as Dugtrio is above ground, Hypno lands a powerful Confusion against it. Gah!

“Dugtrio, fall back!”

Getting close to Hypno doesn’t seem like a good idea. At least at a distance, Dugtrio can dodge. But Dig is your go-to for dodging and counterattacking. Let’s see…

Without any command from Sabrina, Hypno starts swinging his pendulum again. He’s using Hypnosis! They must be communicating psychically!

“Dugtrio, Magnitude!”

Your attack is just quick enough to knock Hypno over, disrupting his attack. Phew! Sabrina’s scowling at you, which is scary, but you’d better focus and follow up on this chance.

“Dugtrio, use Astonish!”

Dugtrio lets out a cry. Times three, thanks to its three heads. Hypno is affected a lot more than you’d expected, covering its ears to muffle the attack. Sabrina does the same, looking practically deafened by the loud sound. Oh! That’s right! Astonish is Ghost-type! Hypno’s knocked over, and their psychic link seems to be messed up from all the noise. Well.

“Dugtrio, use Astonish!”

“Dugtrio, use Astonish!”

“Dugtrio, use Astonish!”

“HYPNO, RETURN! COULD YOUR POKEMON HAVE A MORE ANNOYING MOVE!? DAMN IT!” Uh-oh, you angered the crazy… Sabrina takes a moment to calm herself down after her Hypno gets literally astonished out of consciousness. “N-Not bad. But you should already know that this is my Gym. And when I say we’re best friends… we’re best friends.”
