Chapter 436: Rampage
The little girl propped her chin on her hand, looking puzzled. "Then what should we do? I don't have anything to offer you."
"How about this? If you lose, you can teach Gon how to use psychic abilities. How does that sound?" Yuga suggested.
Although the little girl remained silent, Yuga noticed a momentary change in Sabrina's cold expression.
"Alright, let's do it your way. I won't lose," the little girl finally spoke after some thought.
Yuga didn't say anything and just moved to one side of the battlefield.
There's something called a "flag," and it's better not to jinx it.
Sabrina used her psychic powers to levitate herself from the throne behind the bamboo curtain and landed on the other side of the battlefield.
"The rules of the match are one-on-one. Whoever falls first loses," the little girl stated.
With those words, a red and white Poké Ball appeared in the little girl's hand. With a flash of red light, an Alakazam appeared on the battlefield.

...
Yuga realized that he had encountered these Abra family line recently. Gon had one, Eusine had one, and now Sabrina had one. However, this Alakazam was the most powerful among the three, it's already reach pseudo-Elite level Pokémon, with a blue potential.
But Yuga wasn't afraid.
After checking Sabrina's Alakazam, Yuga summoned his Mismagius onto the battlefield. It was evident that, in terms of type advantage, Yuga had the upper hand.
As soon as Mismagius appeared, it seemed eager to join the battle. These days, it had been restless and irritated, having been thrown out of the house for no apparent reason and unable to return. It was really pissed off.
"Alakazam, use Shadow Ball!"
Alakazam, with its speed advantage, quickly formed a large Shadow Ball upon Sabrina's command and launched it towards Mismagius.
However, Mismagius was no slouch either. With a slight tilt of its body, it gracefully dodged the massive Shadow Ball.
"Mismagius, use Taunt!"
For Yuga, Alakazam's most annoying abilities were Teleport and Recover, so he decided to suppress those abilities from the start.
Especially Teleport, as long as this skill can be mastered, then that Pokémon is definitely very difficult to deal with.
However, this skill itself consumes a lot, and few Pokémon can use it frequently, but Sabrina can boost her Alakazam with her Psychic ability, so Yujia has to guard against it.
Though Mismagius didn't speak, it emitted a red light from its eyes and grinned tauntingly at Alakazam. Alakazam, upon seeing this, felt an inexplicable rage and sensed that its abilities had been sealed.
"Alakazam, use Psychic!"
"Mismagius, use Mystical Fire!"
After one round of exchanges, both Yuga and Sabrina commanded their Pokémon to attack.
The energy beams formed by Alakazam's Psychic clashed fiercely with Mismagius's Mystical Fire, resulting in a violent explosion.
Thus, the two Pokémon engaged in a back-and-forth battle on the battlefield.
Both Pokémon had nearly equal strength, and at this point, neither side could afford to make a mistake.
Although Alakazam was swift, it relied on its Teleport ability to gain an advantage. With Teleport sealed, Alakazam gradually felt helpless, often grazed by Mismagius's Mystical Fire.
It should be noted that the Mystical Fire had special effects attached to it. While the damage wasn't significant when just grazed, it caused Alakazam's special attack to decrease over time.
For Pokémon like Alakazam and Mismagius, which relied heavily on special attacks, a decline in special attack power could be fatal.
After several decreases in special attack power, Alakazam's Psychic was finally suppressed during its clash with Mismagius's Mystical Fire.
Each time Alakazam was hit by Mystical Fire, it wanted to use Recover to heal itself, but under the influence of Taunt, it felt powerless.
As the battle between Mismagius and Alakazam grew increasingly intense, Yuga could clearly sense a tinge of urgency on Sabrina's otherwise cold expression. It was evident that both her and Alakazam were gradually falling behind in the battle.
Were it not for Sabrina's augmented psychic abilities, Alakazam would have likely succumbed much earlier.
However, Yuga couldn't help but admire the strength of Sabrina's psychic powers. His King of Ghost ability could only suppress Ghost-type Pokémon, and he was powerless against Psychic-type Pokémon like Alakazam.
Due to Sabrina's psychic powers, even though Alakazam's special attack had significantly decreased, there were several occasions when Mismagius's position became precarious.
However, while Mismagius couldn't use recovery-type moves, it could employ Pain Split to share some of its health if its opponent had less health. Sabrina and Alakazam found this rather frustrating.
Finally, under Mismagius's relentless assault, Alakazam reluctantly fell.
Mismagius heaved a sigh of relief, its mood visibly improved. It seemed as if all the frustration it had experienced during these days of being thrown out of the house for no reason had dissipated in an instant.
As Yuga looked at Alakazam lying on the ground, Sabrina wore an expression of disbelief. She had never expected to lose.
Retracting Mismagius, Yuga turned to Sabrina and said, "Gym Leader Sabrina, now that I've won, you should keep your promise, shouldn't you?"
"How... how could this..." This time, it was Sabrina herself who spoke, not the puppet doll she had been using earlier.
Compared to the sweet voice of the puppet girl, Sabrina's original voice was cooler, more mature, and surprisingly pleasant. It lacked the eerie quality of the puppet.
Seeing Sabrina's astonished expression, Yuga thought to himself: This lady is probably another genius who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society; otherwise, she wouldn't react like this after a single defeat.
"Hey, Gym Leader Sabrina, are you listening to me?" Yuga called out when he received no response from her.
At that moment, Sabrina suddenly dropped the puppet girl she was holding and stared at Yuga with intense purple eyes.
Seeing this, Yuga immediately felt something was amiss and tried to seek shelter behind Mismagius. However, his reaction wasn't as quick as Sabrina's, and he was swiftly bound by her psychic powers.
Sabrina had lost control of herself. Her psychic powers began to run rampant, and she relentlessly directed her mental energy towards Yuga. The sheer force of her psychic power made Yuga feel like his bones were about to shatter.
Mismagius, standing by, wanted to intervene and save its trainer. But before it could act, it witnessed countless black mists surging out from Yuga's body, dispelling all the psychic energy that Sabrina had imposed on him.
In the moment that Yuga's body purged the psychic energy, Sabrina collapsed unconscious on the ground.
With Sabrina's support gone, Yuga knelt on the ground, gasping for breath heavily. During that brief moment, he believed he was about to be torn apart by Sabrina.
Fortunately, when it mattered most, he attempted to communicate with the Ghost World Origin Stone in his mind's, and inexplicably, it came to his rescue.
Seeing Yuga's crisis averted, Mismagius quickly flew over to check on Yuga's condition. On the sidelines, Eusine was also visibly shaken and rushed into the arena to help Yuga to his feet.
