Chapter 2

Three days passed, before Ash and Sabrina took action, or at least Ash left the hospital. They doctors had made him stay longer just in case something was wrong, besides partial amnesia, but now his memories had returned. Rage was literally pouring out of the Pallet town trainer in a visible stream, and Sabrina winced. She could feel his anger and hate roiling through his thoughts.

Ash noticed h er discomfort and immediately apologized.

< You must learn how to shield your emotions, Ash. >

< Why? >

< Because now that you have remembered the use of your psychic and ghost and dark powers, then… you’re broadcasting your thoughts, almost. >

< Oh no! >

< Oh yes…. Do you understand now? >

< Hai. I will learn, Sabrina. >

< Good… >

Misty suddenly, inexplicably, felt a chill. What was wrong? She’d sold Ash’s pokemon, used the money for a new bike and twenty new bikinis…

Something felt off though….

< Idiot. > A voice hissed in her mind, before her body froze… and shrunk, becoming a doll.

Ash smirked as Sabrina picked up the Misty doll. “Shall we, my lady?” He said, with a mock bow.

Sabrina caught his eye and made a curtsey of sorts. “Why yes my lord.” Blue shimmered and then they vanished.

Misty could only stare in horror as they reappeared in the Saffron City gym.

She was a doll again!

Ash was smiling, but it wasn’t a nice smile. “So… Misty, what happened to my pokemon?”

“Y-you deserved it, you selfish brat!” She snapped.

“Oh, I suppose you think so. Well then, I say you deserve this.” He said viciously, as he yanked on her arm, tearing it off.

Misty screamed. There was no blood, but the pain! The pain!

< Do the injuries carry over too? >

< Unfortunately not, my dear Ashura. >

< Ashura… I like it. >

< You should. It’s so much more elegant than Ash Ketchum. >

Misty had been listening to the exchange in horror. Ash was psychic? Since when? And what was going on between the two?

If she didn’t know better, she’d say they were flirting with each other! But that was impossible, Sabrina was just…!

Sabrina smirked as she pulled Ash into a passionate kiss. * That ought to serve her right… *

Ash’s eyes widened.< Sabrina? Are you sure? >

< Don’t tell me you’re not enjoying it… > She replied privately, as she felt him press against her body. < How old are you really, Ash? >

< Mm… fifteen. I’m a slow… you know, er, growing person. >

< Then you’re old enough for me. I’m eighteen. >

< Oh? > He blushed.

< Yes…. > Sabrina purred, kissing him deeper. This was all she wanted…. Even though Ash was a ghost/dark/fire type, she didn’t care…. He shone with light, and she wanted that light badly…..

He was her life, her soul, and her redeemer….

Misty was starting to look very freaked out. It was enough to distract her from the pain of losing an arm, and that’s saying quite a bit!

Ash- how could he!

Didn’t he love her?

< Love? Why would I love a lowly piece of scum like you? > Ash’s psychic voice laughed harshly. < Hardly, my dear. And do you honestly think your actions would endear me to you? First stealing, then selling… >

“I!”

Misty shrieked in pain as her tongue was next removed. How had that happened? Sabrina smirked.

< Oh honestly, I make the dolls, I know their limits… and luckily, you have no vital organs in that form… or it would be a lot more painful… >

Tears began to trickle down her face. This just wasn’t fair! She had never hurt Ash physically, why were they doing this to her!

< … Never hurt me physically? >

< Even I can tell that lie…. Her voice is nothing but lies. >

< Such a good idea to silence it, wasn’t it? >

< Of course. > Their eyes met as they smiled….

And Misty vainly tried to close her eyes as they kissed yet again. Hormonal, annoying, bastard- AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

< You really *should* stop thinking bad thoughts about us, Misty. >

Two pairs of brown eyes sparkled in amusement.

Misty no baka…

< So tell me, Sabrina… do you mind if I don’t love you yet? Since I just met you…I mean, you’re pretty and cool and-. >

< No. > She said simply.

< Then… can I stay here with you? Won’t your parents mind? >

< No, I don’t mind, and it’s my Gym in any case… >

< Mm. > Ash grinned. < Thank you, then… > There was so much left to do… he could not become a Pokemon Master without pokemon…

And that meant he needed at least one to start with…

Sabrina could help, but he’d feel bad. She was already going to train him to shield his thoughts and feelings.

Hmm…

There had to be a way, somehow!

Sabrina’s eyes lit up. < I have an idea. >

< You do?>

< The punishment fits the crime… >

Misty suddenly paled as they stared at her. What were they going to do?
