"Boom!!"
A sky-splitting explosion destroyed the surrounding environment. Large trees were uprooted, and dirt, dust, and fragments of plants scattered everywhere. The Pokémon in the forest all scattered like birds and beasts. Some that were a little slower were severely injured by the aftermath.
"Huh?" From a distance, Ash felt a huge aura coming towards him, accompanied by a strong energy and psychic waves.
"Over there, are they fighting?" He stopped his training, and even Misty and Ayumi came over.
Ash was a little curious about who could cause a battle of this level.
"I'll go check it out. You two wait here for me."
Misty frowned and was about to stop him, but Ayumi pulled her away. The girl looked obedient: "Go on, just be careful~"
Ash didn't think much of it and left directly.
After Ash left, Ayumi gave a mischievous smile: "Misty, let's go too~"
"Huh? But you said..."
"Of course I lied to Ash~ Otherwise, he would be nagging and nagging. Last time, he left me and went on an adventure, and he almost died..."
The girl pouted: "This time, I have to keep an eye on him."
"Okay!"
"Venusaur, Solar Beam!"
"Jynx, Blizzard!"
Sabrina and Erika clashed again. This was a battle that had been going on for a while.
The ground was already full of holes. There was no grass, not even wet soil. It had been evaporated into fine sand by the high-temperature energy.
Erika's Pokémon were down to just Exeggutor and Venusaur. Sabrina was left with only Jynx.
For some reason, Sabrina only sent out her Mr. Mime, Jynx, Slowking, and Hypno.
But even so, after being attacked first, she still managed a brilliant record of three-for-five.
Besides Jynx's type advantage, it was also due to Sabrina's own powerful psychic ability. Erika's trump card, Vileplume, was defeated by a surprise Psychic attack after Sabrina used Teleport.
"Give up," Sabrina said coldly.
Erika was also aware of her situation. Her two remaining Pokémon were at their limit, and the other party still had two Poké Balls she hadn't used. Although she didn't know why, the fact was that if she didn't find a chance to escape, she would be finished.
Sabrina was also a little frustrated. Erika was her only good friend, of course, in her capacity as a Gym Leader.
Because of this, she knew Erika's character very well. Although she looked frail, she was exceptionally strong and upright. It was hard to change her mind once she had made a decision.
If she found out that Sabrina was actually a Team Rocket executive, she would probably slowly distance herself from her.
Sabrina, who looked cold and was a bit overbearing on the surface, might be admired by many, but at the same time, most people kept their distance or even feared her.
The Pokémon Sabrina was using now were ones she hadn't exposed before. The remaining two were Kadabra and Exeggutor.
Kadabra was her signature Pokémon, and Exeggutor had grown up with Erika's Exeggutor since they were little. If she sent it out, her identity would be exposed.
The key was that Sabrina was holding back, but Erika, who was unaware, was going all out.
Thankfully, Sabrina had her psychic ability to protect her, or she would have really fallen at the hands of her good friend.
"So, have you made up your mind?" Sabrina's voice was a little ambiguous under the cover of her psychic ability.
"Mmm... it seems I can only surrender..." Erika pouted. Her helpless expression made Sabrina relax a little.
"However, I have one more thing I need to show you first..."
"Huh?"
While Sabrina was confused, Erika quietly looked up and said four words: "Frenzy Plant!"
"!!" Sabrina's pupils immediately shrank. The ground around them instantly sprouted countless serrated vines. The terrifying number of vines even blocked out the sunlight in the sky. Every single thorn was sharp and glinted with a cold light!
In just a moment, Jynx's Protect shield was broken and it was knocked out. The Poké Ball on Sabrina's waist also shattered, and a blurry figure turned into a new barrier in front of the vines.
After recalling her exhausted Venusaur, Erika let out a quiet sigh of relief outside the vine formation. Her large chest shook slightly as a result.
"That should have taken care of it, right... Exeggutor, use Teleport!"
Although she had confidence in Venusaur's ultimate skill, she still felt that it was better to leave as soon as possible.
"Boom--" The next moment, the numerous thick vines exploded. A graceful figure slowly floated in the air, wrapped in a tattered cloak. Because of the thorns, the tight suit Sabrina was wearing was also torn in several places, and her fair skin was faintly visible.
"You're not getting away!" Kadabra had already been recalled by Sabrina, but that didn't stop her from using her own psychic ability.
A massive psychic force enveloped the Exeggutor that was charging up for Teleport.
However, Erika still disappeared from where she was, right in front of Sabrina's eyes.
Ash continued to make his way towards the center of the battlefield.
Along the way, he saw waves of wild Pokémon running in the opposite direction. They were all panicked, as if they were in a hurry to mate.
Suddenly, a girl in a kimono appeared in the air and fell right towards Ash.
"Thump..." Caught off guard, Ash was immediately crushed to the ground by her. Two astonishing hemispheres blocked his nose and mouth, suffocating him.
"Mmmph..." Ash fumbled to push her away, and only then did he get a clear look at her face.
Her slightly drooping, shoulder-length hair had a red headband that exposed a pair of beautiful eyes and eyebrows under her bangs.
Her smooth face, delicate nose, and the beautiful white teeth that showed when her small mouth was slightly ajar all showed off her stunning beauty. Her loose, green kimono could not hide her proud curves, and her high-waisted, pleated red skirt made her look even more graceful.
The combination of red and green, a color that usually clashes, gave her an air of noble and elegant Yamato Nadeshiko.
The geta sandals exposed her toes, and the large bow on her back gave her a playful and cute look.
Ash made his judgment. This was an intoxicating woman, the Gym Leader of Celadon City, Erika.
A beautiful girl fell from the sky? My luck is too good...
At this moment, although Erika had escaped using Teleport, she was still unconscious after being attacked by Sabrina's psychic ability. She was still holding the injured Eevee in her arms.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ash sat up and gently shook her.
"Mmm..." Her long, fan-like eyelashes slowly fluttered. Her beautiful eyes opened, like a gorgeous scroll unfolding. They reflected Ash's face, and Erika gave a faint smile: "Thank you~"
Ash was stunned. Because they had just fallen together, Erika was now straddling him. Her round thighs and full hips were pressed against his waist, giving him an amazing feeling of elasticity.
What's more, his hands were still on her two "white bunnies." At this moment...
Ash unconsciously used his Harden skill.
"Mmm..."
