Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile!

Chapter 96 Sabrina: I really want to... I really want to turn Ash into a doll and keep him by my side!

As the curtain slowly opened, Natsumi's true face was revealed to the three of them.

Her long purple hair cascaded down her back, her delicate face was free of makeup, her eyebrows were slender and long, her nose was delicate and her lips were thin, and her scarlet eyes inspired both fear and a uniquely charming allure.

Naz wore a red and black tight-fitting dress. Her full breasts pushed up the red dress high, and the knee-length dress hugged her equally full hips below her slender waist.

Black, sheer stockings encased her long, shapely legs.

In front of her, a little girl holding a doll was pressed tightly against Naz's high, firm breasts, leaving a slight indentation.

This is a very striking beauty, but unfortunately, there is no smile on her face. The expression on her face can only be described in two words—cold!
It is said that Naz is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she looks like a mature older sister. However, even Xiao Gang, who is very infatuated with older sisters, did not feel his heart race when he saw Naz. Instead, he felt a chill run down his spine.

She exuded such a powerful aura of pressure that Xiao Gang couldn't muster even the slightest thought.

Although Ash was somewhat surprised by the other party's appearance, he was the kind of person who wouldn't be swayed by appearances. He hadn't forgotten the scene in the gym earlier, where the masked man almost suffocated under Sabrina's psychic powers, demonstrating that the other party's heart was as cold as her appearance.

This is an extremely difficult person to get along with.

At the same time, Xiaozhi felt that there was something wrong with the way the other party looked at him. It seemed to be... the way one looks at one's own kind.

Ash shook his head, banishing the strange illusion from his mind, then turned to Misty, who was still holding his arm, and said, "Misty, it's my turn to go on stage."

"Huh? Oh... I'm sorry, I forgot for a moment." Xiaoxia paused for a moment, then instantly realized that she was still holding Xiaozhi's arm. So, blushing, she let go of his arm and walked behind him.

Sabrina's presence was so intimidating that even breathing seemed to require extra effort in her presence, which is why Misty gripped Ash's arm even tighter and refused to let go.

However, when Misty retreated behind Ash, for some reason, the pressure Sabrina exerted seemed to lessen considerably, or even disappear almost entirely.

She looked at Ash's back, which wasn't broad but was very reliable, and realized why.

After Ash told Misty to step back, his Aura slowly rose, blocking the faint pressure emanating from her. At the same time, he stepped forward, stood on the arena, and took out Gastly's Poké Ball.

"Ash from Pallet Town has come to challenge me."

“You are a monster just like me.” Sabrina didn’t respond to Ash’s challenge immediately, but slowly opened her red lips and said something astonishing.

Ash's face darkened upon hearing this. "He called me a monster right off the bat. What kind of person is he?"
"No way, have I even met you before and you're calling me a monster? Can't you speak properly?!"

“I’ve seen it in the future.” Naza’s voice remained flat and emotionless, but her words shocked all three people present.

Did she see Ash in her future visions?
The ability to foresee the future is completely different from the ability of elves to foresee the future.

Generally, the "Foresight" skill is a skill used by Pokémon to store future attacks; it doesn't actually allow them to predict the future.

But judging from what Naz said, her ability to foresee the future seems to actually be real!
Is this also a form of using superpowers?

Ash seemed to understand why the other person had called him a monster just like her.

One is an anomaly in the power of waveguides, and the other is an anomaly in superpowers; both of them have mastered these two abilities to an extraordinary degree.

The aura power in Pokémon will not be as versatile as Ash's application of aura.

Similarly, the superpowers of elves cannot provide the same kind of foresight as Sabrina.

"I don't know if your foresight means you see me win or lose."

“I didn’t see the outcome of the battle. This is the first time I haven’t been able to fully predict the future. All I know is that you, like me, are an anomaly, so… I’m very interested in you.”

Xiaoxia:? ? ?
Woman! Watch your words!

Xiaoxia's gaze toward Nazi instantly turned hostile. No matter how cold or expressionless Nazi was, the fact that she was a woman, and a beautiful one at that, could not be denied!

She's just a bit eccentric and cold-hearted.

When a woman of this caliber said such things to Ash, and was also a special ability user like Ash, Misty instantly felt uneasy and became wary.

Xiao Gang's expression also turned quite strange. Come to think of it, Xiao Zhi seems to have quite a few female admirers...

"I'm actually quite interested in you too, but it's time for a battle now, so let's talk about the rules." Ash's interest was simply due to his infatuation with Sabrina's psychic abilities.

However, these words made Xiaoxia feel even worse...

Sabrina slowly floated down from the main seat behind the curtain and stood on the battlefield, a Poké Ball quietly appearing beside her.

"In a one-on-one match, whoever's Pokémon falls down first loses. If I lose, I'll give you the Goldenrod Gym Badge, but if you lose, you have to stay here and play with me."

Xiaoxia:? ? ?
What's wrong with this woman?! Could she really have a crush on Xiaozhi?!
This was only her first meeting with Ash. Was Ash really that charming?

Ash was a little surprised by Sabrina's request. He had previously said that losing to Sabrina would have terrible consequences, but this consequence was just playing with Sabrina? This kind of consequence doesn't seem so terrible!

Although Naz is a bit cold, intimidating, and even a little ruthless, she is actually a stunning beauty. Playing with her shouldn't be too scary, right?

"...Let me ask you something, what do you want me to play with you? Games?" Ash was about to agree readily, but he felt something was off, so he asked the question anyway.

"It's a game."

"Oh, it's just a game? Of course, no problem. Even if I lose, I'll still play with you. But are you that bored that you need a challenger to play a game with you?" Upon hearing that it was just a game, Ash readily agreed.

At the same time, I also felt that Nurse Joy and Professor Oak were exaggerating a bit. The Goldenrod Gym wasn't that scary. It was just playing a game with a girl with a rather cold expression. How could that be scary?
"Really? Then you have to turn into a doll and stay here to play with me."

Xiaozhi: ? ? ?
The moment Sabrina said that, a chill ran down everyone's spine. What the hell? Turning into a doll to play with you?! Are you serious?
Ash then turned his attention to the doll in Sabrina's hand, but he couldn't detect any Aura from it.

This also explains that the doll in Sabrina's hand is not a human in disguise, which relieved Ash somewhat.

Although I don't know how turning into a doll works, it's definitely not a good thing.

This is probably the truth behind the inhumane treatment that Nurse Joy and Professor Oak described for failing to challenge the Goldenrod Gym, the truth behind the Goldenrod Gym that everyone fears. "When I said 'play,' I meant normal gaming, not turning you into a doll to play with. You should find someone else for that," Ash immediately denied what he had just said.

Such nonsense as "I'll play with Naz even if I win" is obviously not to be taken seriously.

He thought it was just a normal game or a battle with spirits, but who would have thought that she would turn him into a doll!
"Ash! You have to win!!"

"We absolutely cannot lose, Ash!!"

Misty and Brock, who were behind Ash, cheered him on, saying that if Ash were really turned into a doll, it would be unimaginable how the other party would play with him!
"The rules are one-on-one, one match to decide the winner. As the Gym Leader, I'll send out my Pokémon first." Sabrina didn't respond to Ash's words, but instead let a Poké Ball float to her side and then suddenly charge onto the field.

The Poké Ball exploded, and a golden Pokémon appeared on the field.

"Courage!!"

The elf looked like a fox, with a five-pointed star on its forehead, two whiskers extending from the corners of its mouth, a huge tail swaying behind it, and a soup spoon in its hand.

Psychic-type Pokémon, Kadabra!
When Misty and Brock saw that Sabrina had sent out Kadabra, they both instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, whether a Pokémon evolves or not is a measure of its strength.

Generally speaking, Pokémon that do not evolve to their final form are not very powerful, and Pokémon that reach the pinnacle without evolving are ultimately only a minority.

Especially for gym leaders, powerful Pokémon have basically evolved to their peak. For example, when Brock was at the Pewter City Gym, he had a Golem that had evolved to its perfect form and was already at the professional level.

So normally, if a Pokémon's level is high enough, it will evolve to its final stage.

Since the battle hadn't started yet, neither of them could tell the level of this Yakira, but they figured it shouldn't exceed the professional level.

Ash is capable of handling Pokémon of this level.

Speaking of which, Nazi looks very young. Although she has a mature figure and looks like a mature older sister, based on Xiaogang's experience, she is probably no older than twenty, and most likely around eighteen.

At eighteen years old, without inheriting the spirits of his parents, having a professional-level skill level is already quite impressive.

However, compared to the rumored strength of the Goldenrod Gym, this strength is still a bit off.

After all, the Saffron Gym is known as one of the four major gyms in Kanto, and its strength is definitely at the Elite Four level.

Perhaps this isn't Sabrina's main Pokémon... Xiao Gang thought to himself.

However, compared to Misty and Sabrina, who breathed a sigh of relief, Ash's expression became extremely serious after seeing Kadabra.

This Kadora's strength... is that of a Champion!

Moreover, it's not as simple as just entering the Heavenly King realm; his strength has already reached the intermediate level of Heavenly King!

As expected of the Goldenrod Gym, one of the four major gyms, its strength is indeed not to be underestimated... No, it's more than just not to be underestimated. They've put up an Elite Four Pokémon, how are you going to let anyone else beat an egg?!
Normally, you shouldn't be able to get the Goldenrod Gym Badge at all, right? Who the hell would challenge a gym and fight a Champion?

There's a reason why no one has managed to get the Goldenrod Gym Badge!

Let alone rookie trainers, even among veteran trainers, how many can beat the Elite Four?
The Heavenly King level is already one of the most prestigious and powerful beings in the world!
His appearance at the dojo was an absolute foul! Not to mention, his opponent wasn't just an ordinary Elite Four member!
If Ash hadn't caught Gastly, he felt like he would have exploded just by looking at the Saffron Gym!
Unless he goes up himself, how can he fight the Goldenrod Gym with all the Pokémon he had before?

"I choose you, Gastly!"

"Crack!"

With a flash of light, the sinister Gastly appeared on the field.

"Hehehe, so your opponent this time is a girl? Wow, this girl is quite pretty. So you want to subdue me just to fight this girl? Hey, you know what, this girl has unfathomable superpowers, quite similar to you, monster."

Gastly kept talking nonstop as soon as it came out, which made Ash speechless.

What do you mean by being like a monster like me? Can't you even speak? If you can't speak, then go "hehehe!"
"Stop joking around, prepare for battle! This opponent is not to be underestimated, be careful not to be caught off guard!"

"Yes, yes, I understand~"

Gastly gave a half-hearted reply, then fixed its sinister gaze on its opponent.

Across from her, a slight emotional fluctuation appeared on Naza's expressionless face; she seemed to be trying to show surprise.

But that cold expression on his face had been there for far too long, and he couldn't even change it.

This was the first time she had ever seen a talking Gastly, and judging from the power she observed with her psychic abilities, this Gastly seemed to be even stronger than her Kadabra.

In the vision of the future, she only saw Ash coming, and then there was no other information. It seemed that with her power, she had no way to predict the future related to Ash.

Being able to see Ash's image was already the limit of her ability.

Therefore, Sabrina had no idea which Pokémon Ash would use.

Now that Sabrina has seen Gastly, she is even more interested in Ash.

I wish... I wish I could turn him into a doll and keep him by my side!

Naza's scarlet eyes revealed an unprecedented emotion; she wanted to win!
"Give it your all from the start, Yakira."

"Yong!"

Going all out from the start? What does that mean?
Before Ash and his friends could figure out the meaning of those words, Sabrina's eyes suddenly flashed with a deep blue light, and Kadabra's body also burst forth with a dazzling radiance!

The light of evolution!
