Episode 43: Hermit Crab

Next is Sabrina's Slowbro with Wart staying in the battle. Both of them are poisoned by Una's trap but Wart eats a bit of the Pecha berry Una handed him as the switched. The Poison doesn't stop it as Wart is hit with a Psychic. With the last remains of his strength, he uses Rapid Spin and blows the rest of the trap onto Sabrina's Slowbro as he faints. Rai tries to switch in but Ivy stops him.

Ivy: I got this, save your energy for now.

Rai: Alright, just don't hurt yourself too badly.

Ivy uses Leach Seed to drain away even more of the Slowbro's health. Sabrina uses Recover but the combination of Leech Seed and the intense poison inflict upon it by Una, her Slowbro can't regain any health, just stop the status effects from worsening it's condition. Ivy shoots Razor Leaves at the Hermit Crab Pokémon but they are blasted away by a Water Pulse. It shoots a continuous Water Pulse to try and hit Ivy. She dodges it, as it tries to chase her down, she ask Sabrina a question.

Ivy: I'm sure you heard Lee and Chan talking about this with us yesterday but I still have to ask you, why are you only the 6th gym leader?

Sabrina: As they told you, the Pokémon League doesn't like the fact I'm ignoring 2 or their battle rules so they put me as 6th. Not praise myself too much but I did manage to defeat a gym leader who later became an Elite 4 member so I think I am a pretty capable trainer, why ask?

Ivy: So I'm hearing if we manage to over come you we'll be able to conquer the Elite 4.

Sabrina: I suppose so.

Ivy: That's all I wanted to hear.

Otto: She's starting to talk like you Leon.

Leon: No she doesn't! I don't always talk like that.

Otto: Sure.

Ivy goes for a Petal Dance, knocking out Sabrina's Slowbro in 1 hit. As Ivy is forced to continue the dance, Sabrina send out her final Pokémon, Alakazam. It knocks out the fully healthy Ivy with a single Psychic, completely obliterating her in an instant.

Sabrina: I could feel you all lowering your guards after knocking out 2 of my 3 Pokémon while you all had 5 healthy contenders ready to battle. That was just to show you why people consider me the strongest gym leader.
