The dimly lit tunnel pulsed with an eerie energy as Sage grabbed one of her Pokéball as she was preparing to battle Sabrina the sixth gym leader who has joined Team Rocket to get her revenge against all the people who mocked her.
You're wasting your time but if you insist on standing in my way... Mr. Mime, come forth" Sabrina said with a arrogant smirk on her face.
Sabrina tossed a Pokéball into the air and in a flash of red light, Mr. Mime appeared with its white-gloved hands moving in a slow, deliberate rhythm as if forming an invisible barrier around itself.
Sage's Rotom Phone buzzed in her pocket as she pulled it out as it displayed Mr. Mime's Pokédex entry:
Mr. Mime the Barrier Pokémon, Psychic- and Fairy-type: Mr. Mime is known for its ability to create invisible walls using its pantomime skills and It uses its psychic powers to solidify air molecules, making nearly impenetrable barriers.
A strong opponent... but I've got the perfect counter!" Sage said as she tossed her Pokéball revealing Hitmonchan who was ready to fight.
Sage wasted no time as she knew Sabrina was a formidable opponent and she will need too strike first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hitmonchan use Fire Punch!" Sage called out as Hitmonchan fist ignited bright orange flames as it lunged at Mr. Mime.
Mr. Mime use Protect" Sabrina said with a smirk as a shimmering barrier formed around Mr. Mime just before Hitmonchan's flaming fist could connect as the fire attack struck the protective wall as Mr. Mine was safe.
Jump back and use Throat Chop!" Sage said as she gritted her teeth a little.
Hitmonchan swiftly leaped backward and then propelled itself forward with a burst of speed as Its fist glowed dark purple as it struck Mr. Mime's throat before the Psychic-type could react.
Mr. Mime stumbled backward and clutched its neck in pain.
Now use Thunder Punch!" Sage called out as she saw her opportunity as Hitmonchan's fist crackled with electricity as it delivered another blow, sending Mr. Mine flying into a wall.
Sabrina frowned slightly but remained composed as Mr. Mime struggled to its feet.
Mr. Mime use Shadow Ball" Sabrina said as she didn't give her Pokemon time to recover as Mr. Rime frowned a little before a sphere of dark energy formed between Mr. Mime's hands and was launched towards Hitmonchan.
Dodge it and use Mach Punch!" Sage commanded as Hitmonchan sidestepped the attack with incredible speed before launching a swift, powerful punch at Mr. Mime.
The Punch connected, causing the Barrier Pokémon to stagger back once more.
Mr. Mime use Psychic" Sabrina said with a arrogant smirk as Mr. Mime's eyes glowed blue as a wave of psychic energy crashed into Hitmonchan, lifting it off the ground and slamming it into the floor.
Sage flinched as her Rotom Phone buzzed again.
Notification: Mr. Mime has landed a Critical Hit!
She looked up to see Sabrina staring at her with smug amusement.
What's the matter? Getting frustrated?" Sabrina taunted as Sage clenched her fists as she realized that Sabrina was trying to get inside her head as she exhaled slowly and forced herself to stay calm.
No, I won't let you get to me" Sage muttered under her breath.
Hitmonchan use Ice Punch!" Sage called ou as Hitmonchan sprang forward with its fist glowing an icy blue as it charged at Mr. Mime.
Mr. Mime use Psychic again" Sabrina called out with an arrogant smirk on her face.
Sage's eyes glinted with determination as she had expected Sabrina to use this move again.
Hitmonchan, jump above it and use Thunder Punch!" Sage called out as Sabrina's confident expression faltered as Hitmonchan suddenly leaped high into the air, completely avoiding Mr. Mime's Psychic attack.
Hitmonchan prepared to attack but instead of using Thunder Punch Hitmonchan's fists glowed silver as it unleashed a rapid barrage of punches.
Sage's Rotom Phone buzzed again:
Hitmonchan has learned Bullet Punch!
The flurry of steel-powered punches struck Mr. Mime before it could react, sending the Psychic Pokemon crashing as the Psychic-type Pokémon lay motionless.
Sabrina's face twisted in frustration as she recalled Mr. Mime back into its Pokéball.
Tch... not bad" Sabrina sneered.
Sage let out a breath as she felt a surge of satisfaction.
Her Rotom Phone displayed Hitmonchan's updated moveset:
Ice Punch
Throat Chop
Bullet Punch
Fire Punch
Mach Punch
Sage looked up and locked eyes with Sabrina who already had her second Pokéball out as Sage saw the brief glint of acceptance in Sabrina eyes before it quickly faded away
