Wingtaker charged into the room, and said loudly, “I know!” This, of course, awoke Diana and Faulkner. Faulkner said wearily, “Know what?” “I know who it is!” Wingtaker replied. The two woke up more at this. “You do?! Who?! Who?!” Diana yelled softly. “It’s -” Before Wingtaker could say, a creepy, yet familiar voice said, “Hmm, you are smarter than I thought. I underestimated you. No matter, I have what I want, and can now easily crush any of you!” Faulkner shouted, “Sabrina?!” Wingtaker responded, “Yes. She wanted your Noctowl, but there’s more, I’m sure.” Diana screamed at Sabrina, “You! How dare you! Stealing from another gym leader, because you were envious! What a bastard!” Faulkner felt a bit uncomfortable at Diana’s cursing. It was new to him, and never pictured Diana as someone who would cuss. Sabrina was angered, and threatened, “Call me that again and I’ll steal something more than just Faulkner’s pokemon!” “What’s that supposed to mean?!” Diana growled. “It means that I will steal your pokemon as well!” Sabrina shouted, as her eyes began to glow. Just then, Diana’s mind began to hurt, and was haunted by images of what would happen, and they weren’t pretty. Wingtaker, of all people, was the one to say, “Knock it off, Sabrina!” Faulkner was surprised and a bit confused. Diana noticed, but couldn’t react because she was in a state of pain. “No!” Sabrina said. Wingtaker, though, had a trick up his sleeve. Sabrina said, “Besides. What can you do to me?” Wingtaker’s eyes were closed, and then, he opened them, and said, very calmly, “This.” Sabrina’s brain then began to be haunted and her mind hurt as well. Sabrina couldn’t keep up Diana’s pain, and therefore Diana ceased her cries of agony. Faulkner said to Diana, “Are you alright?” “I think so,” Diana replied, “But we have to stop her. Somehow.” This was one of the reasons why Faulkner liked Diana so much. Even in the worst of times, even after pain, she got straight back up and was ready for the challenge. Surprisingly enough, Wingtaker let go of Sabrina’s pain. Sabrina said, astonished and bewildered, “You’re a…a psychic?!” Wingtaker then said, “Yes. But let’s settle this over a pokemon battle instead. That would be the more fair way.” Sabrina agreed, and prepared her best pokemon. Wingtaker said, “Your up, Diana.” “What? Me?” Diana asked. Wingtaker replied, “Yes. You’re the only one who could. You have the best pokemon, I’m sure. And besides, he’s your boyfriend, after all. So it’s only right that you are the one to win back Faulkner’s pokemon.” Diana gulped, and then said, “Alright. Let’s do this.” “You choose first,” Sabrina insisted. “Alright. Go! Apoco!” Diana said loudly. A Houndoom appeared out of the pokeball. Wingtaker wouldn’t speak, but he thought to himself, “A good choice, but she still has to be careful for any tricks Sabrina might have.” “Go! Hypno!” Sabrina shouted as a Hypno popped out of the ball. “Use Glare!” Diana barked the order at Apoco, who obeyed. Hypno was paralyzed, and might not be able to attack. Sabrina was confident enough, though. Sabrina said, “Hypno! Use Mega Punch!” Hypno hit Apoco with a hard blast to the side. Diana was surprised at Sabrina teaching her Hypno an attack such as Mega Punch, but shook it off. She had to focus if she was going to get back Faulkner’s pokemon. “Stay in there, Apoco! Use Thief!” Diana commanded. Apoco again obeyed, and bit Hypno hard in the arm. Sabrina shouted, “Hypno, use Dynamic Punch!” Diana, Faulkner, and Wingtaker were a bit worried at the sudden change, but nothing happened. Hypno didn’t even move. Paralyzed. “Alright!” Diana said thankfully, “Okay! Now use a Double Team!” The Houndoom split into several of itself, and the real was unknown to Sabrina and Hypno. Sabrina said, “Use swift!” Apoco was hit by the star attack, but it did rather little damage. Diana said to Apoco, “Finish it off with a Body Slam!” Apoco ran toward Hypno and hit him full force with the mass of the dog’s body. Sabrina returned Hypno, and said, “Good work, Hypno. Xatu, Go!” As Sabrina said that, Wingtaker thought, “That’s awfully stupid. She doesn’t need to have two psychic and flying types in her party at once.” “Apoco, use Sunny Day!” Diana said. The sun got brighter, although they were inside Oak’s Lab still. “Xatu! Use Wing Attack!” Sabrina commanded. Xatu flew for Apoco, and smacked it hard with it’s wings. The Houndoom tried to get up after being knocked down, but fainted. “Return! Good work, you deserve a good rest,” Diana said, “Alright. Go, Bolt!” She threw the ball, and a Raichu was there. “Xatu, Use Confusion!” Sabrina ordered. Xatu’s eyes became a light blue color, and Bolt was hit by a psychic blow. “Bolt, use Thunderbolt!” Diana said. Bolt created some electricity around itself, and shocked Xatu with it. Sabrina said, “Come on, Xatu! Now use Psywave!” Bolt was struck by another psychic attack, this one more powerful than the last. Diana said, “Bolt, use Thunder Punch!” The electric hit fainted Xatu. Sabrina said, “Espeon, go!” An Espeon appeared out of the red and white ball. “Bolt, use Rain Dance!” Diana said. Rain, although they were inside, began falling. Sabrina shouted, “Use Psychic!” Yet another psychic blast hit Bolt, who was becoming irritated with too many psychic attacks. “Now, Bolt! You know what to do!” Diana said confidently. The Raichu sent out a huge Thunder attack, which hit Espeon hard. “Use Attract!” Sabrina said. Bolt became love struck, and acted oddly. “Bolt, try a Thunder Wave!” Diana ordered. It was no use. Attract had served its purpose. “Now use Psybeam!” Sabrina barked. Raichu was hit, yet again, with a psychic blast, and then it fainted. “Return, Bolt,” Diana said, “Good work. Now, Go, Geyser!” Geyser, a Quagsire, came out of the ball. Sabrina commanded, “Espeon, use your Psychic!” Diana yelled, “Use Mud Shot!” Geyser shot out lots of mud, which did a surprisingly good amount of damage. “Espeon! Use Recover!” Sabrina barked. Espeon restored it’s strength with some psychic help. Things were looking worse, and this Espeon was at a much higher level than any of Diana’s pokemon. Would she be able to stop her?
