Pokemon: With Title System

Chapter 112 - No-Rules Battle

Seeing her planned combo unfold, Sabrina's lips curled into a slight smirk.

She was eager to see how Asahi would handle Mr. Mime's double psychic assault.

"Future Sight + Psychic?"

Sabrina's control over psychic moves had reached an impressive level, allowing her to precisely time Future Sight and execute it in tandem with Psychic.

Even Asahi had no great countermeasure against this technique.

Back when he first got Eevee, he might have had no choice but to let it take the hit head-on.

But now…

[Eevee, Protect!]

Asahi relayed his command to Eevee through telepathy.

"Bui!"

Instantly, a hemispherical protective barrier formed around Eevee, shielding it from harm.

Teaching Eevee the versatile Protect move had indeed been a wise decision.

Boom... Boom!

Within a second of each other, Psychic and Future Sight struck the barrier created by Protect.

Crack!

Under the force of Mr. Mime's psychic assault, the energy shield emitted a compressed, straining sound.

However, Eevee's strength far surpassed Mr. Mime's, and with Mr. Mime's Twisted Spoon—an item that boosted its psychic powers—having been snatched away by Eevee, breaking through the barrier was simply impossible.

Sabrina didn't seem frustrated that her combination attack was blocked. Just as she was about to launch a new offensive…

Asahi crossed his arms and spoke to Eevee on the field: "Enough playing around, Eevee. End the battle."

Playing around?

Sabrina felt underestimated.

"Bui!"

In response, Eevee instantly activated Quick Attack.

Swish!

The brown Eevee turned into a blur, disappearing from its original position and reappearing beside Mr. Mime in the next second.

So fast!

With the naked eye alone, it was impossible to track Eevee's movement. If not for her psychic abilities, Sabrina might not have been able to perceive its trajectory at all.

[Mr. Mime, Protect!]

Sabrina's idea was sound, but before Mr. Mime could even raise its arm, Eevee had already slammed into it.

Take Down!

A dull thud echoed as Eevee, carrying tremendous force, crashed into Mr. Mime's midsection. The impact reverberated through its entire body.

If one could watch in slow motion, they'd see Mr. Mime's body bending into an arc from the sheer force, before being launched over ten meters away, slamming hard into the invisible wall it had created.

But in real time, it all happened in an instant.

Thud!

Mr. Mime's body slowly slid down the psychic barrier, completely knocked out.

Only then did Sabrina understand the true meaning of Asahi's words—"Enough playing around."

So this was Eevee's true strength?

After defeating Mr. Mime, Eevee happily wagged its fluffy tail, trotting back to Asahi's arms. With a look of accomplishment, it handed over the Twisted Spoon it had taken from Mr. Mime.

"You can keep it as a trophy," Asahi said, patting Eevee's head.

Sabrina: "..."

Did you forget that I was the original owner of that Twisted Spoon?

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Sabrina glanced at Eevee and smiled.

"A standard Gym challenge is a bit dull. Why not change the battle format?"

"Oh?"

Asahi had a vague idea of what she meant.

Sabrina continued, "As a Gym Leader, I often have to face organizations like Team Rocket. They don't follow standard battle rules."

"I saw you demonstrate some special abilities back at the Silph Co. building. Since I also possess psychic powers, why don't we test our abilities in a no-rules battle?"

As she spoke, Sabrina gently brushed her hair aside, revealing her delicate earlobes and slender neck. Her body floated upward, wrapped in psychic energy.

The black stockings covering her legs, once below Asahi's line of sight, now rose to his eye level.

What is she doing? Seduction?

Too bad… not quite enough.

As for her true intentions, Asahi wasn't entirely sure. But he had absolute confidence in both himself and his Gardevoir.

"Honestly, you're the first to make such a request. But since you insist…"

A blue aura representing his Aura abilities surrounded Asahi's body.

"...I have no reason to refuse!"

He exchanged a glance with Gardevoir.

Gardevoir slowly extended her arms, and the Psychic Plate floated beside her.

Unlike the fleeting sense of its power back at Silph Co., this time, Sabrina could see the plate clearly.

The pink plate hovered next to Gardevoir, emitting a faint psychic energy that seamlessly connected with Gardevoir's mind. It enhanced her abilities in a way completely different from the Twisted Spoon—something far more profound.

To Sabrina, the plate's aura was irresistible, drawing her in.

"What exactly is this thing? I want to take it!"

Her psychic intuition told her that obtaining this plate would greatly enhance her own powers.

For the first time in her life, Sabrina felt such an intense desire for something.

Meanwhile, Asahi noticed her gaze fixated on Gardevoir, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Wait… does Sabrina have improper thoughts about my Gardevoir?"

"..."

Gardevoir rolled her eyes. She could clearly sense that Sabrina's attention was on the plate, not on her.

After receiving this information from Gardevoir, Asahi felt a bit awkward—but he was used to it. Instead, he focused on Gardevoir's words.

"Could the Psychic Plate also benefit psychics? Maybe humans in the Pokémon world really are just another kind of Pokémon…"

Now, Asahi finally understood why Sabrina had acted strangely around him before. It was all because of the Psychic Plate.

Perhaps she had changed the challenge format to ensure he would send out Gardevoir instead of just using Eevee to complete the Gym challenge?

Sabrina quickly composed herself. After one last glance at Gardevoir and the plate, she took out a Poké Ball and pressed the button.

"My Pokémon will be this one."

A flash of white light, and an Alakazam appeared before her.

With its yellow body, shorter mustache—indicating it was female—and two silver spoons in hand, Alakazam radiated intense psychic energy.

As Sabrina's ace Pokémon, Alakazam had Elite Four-level strength.

The moment it appeared, Alakazam locked eyes with Gardevoir.

The two Psychic-type Pokémon stared each other down, their psychic auras clashing and distorting the air between them.
