The Psychic Sister: Chapter 1
By: FanFictionX

Running swiftly through the tunnels of the dark cave as quickly as he could, Ash tries desperately to look for a sign of sunlight or to feel a breeze. Anything in relation to the escape of such a hellish path. The cave seems as if it is unpopulated by any Pokemon at all. With many directions in this dark, dark cave with a fantastically appropriate name of Dark Cave, Ash was positive he made a wrong turn an hour ago, but there was no chance of turning back to the way he had come in. Ash needed a miracle. Ash's partner Pikachu held on tightly to his shoulder as he raced by every turn his instinct told him to.

"Okay Pikachu," Ash felt a cry. "I really don't know how much longer I can run. I don't even think we're in Johto anymore."

The Pokemon nodded and shouted what Pikachu's tend to shout. After a battle not long ago, Pikachu had taken a very unfortunate hit from a wild Kadabra. While looking for a chance to find a Pokemon center, this is where Ash had wound up.

It literally seems like years since his last sight of daylight. It had given Ash a lot of time to think of some very strange thoughts that he's never thought before...

Through a path, like a gift from a god was a dim purple light. Without even stopping, Ash hovered through the tunnel like a moth to flame.

Surely, at the turning point stands two torches symmetrically on either side of what seems like an entryway. Again, without giving a thought, Ash sprinted towards his new destination. In the cave arch, there was a large door. Ash gripped his hand into a fist as he gave the door a knock. When no one answered, Ash tried again. Desperate for light, food and a chance to,well, live, Ash turned the door knob counterclockwise and entered.

...

His eyes lit up as he scanned the area. It was practically a mansion. There was an entry room with a few couches, a chandelier, and many old looking pictures. The place's owner (or designer) seemed to have some sort of an obsession with purple. The carpet, the walls, the decorations: all purple.

"Hello?" Ash shouted, continuously rubbing his eyes. There were two doors on either sides of the room. Walking up the the one on his left, Ash put his hands overtop of his eyes while trying to see into the glass. "Maybe I should just wait here until they come home." The boy says to no one in particular while walking towards a sofa.

Ash sat down, and looked up to see that the door had opened.

"Pikachu, you wait here." Ash set down his injured friend. "I'll go look for help." The Pikachu didn't argue as it lied down on the couch. Ash walked into the next room. It seemed similar in appearance to the entry room, only this one was nearly twice as big. The curious Pokemon trainer continued to walk through the room, looking to see if there was any sign of occupation.

"Hello there." Ash's eyes grew large while he jumped and gasped after hearing a sudden female voice. "Who might you be?" A girl was standing directly behind Ash, her chin on his shoulder. Her teeth clicked together when Ash jumped.

"I'm so sorry for breaking in. I'm A-Ash." He put his hand behind his head. "Sorry for just walking in here! Me and my pal Pikachu have been lost for a long time in this cave, and it is really hurt."

"My pal Pikachu and I, you mean." The girl corrected Ash's grammar. The girl who had mysteriously appeared behind Ash was dressed in a lighter shade of purple then the room, yet had a blue shade of hair. Her look is decieving. She could be fifteen, and she could be eighteen. "Welcome Mr. Ash Ketchum. You see, you getting lost would have to be my fault. I put a charm on this cave so no one could disturb or find me here. I saw that you had no energy left to continue so I made my mansion visible to you. My name is Maria." She winked. "Come on, you look hungry. Won't you join me for supper?" Ash nodded.

"Can you help me friend Pikachu first?"

"No!" Maria shouted. "I mean, my servants have already seen to your friend. You just come with me." She snapped her fingers and the two disappeared from the room.

...

The dining room was filled with delicious looking food. There was an exceptionally long table in the center of the room with meals from chicken to french fries to potatoes. It was like a dream. The two sat down beside each other and began feasting on a meal fit for a very fat and hungry king. Ash enjoyed everything on the table, it was as if Maria knew his favorites.

Before beginning, Ash made Maria take him to see that Pikachu was alright. When they walked into the room that was helping Pikachu, it looked precisely like the backroom of a Pokemon Center. The servants that Maria spoke of looked nice nurses. She told Ash as she had stood pressing up against his body that they would change depending on the room that they were in.

"So Ash. Tell me about yourself." Maria's eyebrows went up as she took another bite of soup. "Any family? Relationships? Plans for your future?" Ash set down his chicken wing before he began talking.

"I'm from Pallet Town in Kanto and I had just participated in a Pokemon League. I'm kind of in between traveling to another region right now." Ash returned the question.

"I'm from Saffron in Kanto also. You probably know my older sister, Sabrina." Ash nearly fell out of his chair when he remembered Sabrina. He nearly got trapped in a miniature doll town with Misty and Brock when he lost to Sabrina. "I'm also a psychic. I can do practically anything with my mind. I can..." Maria looked around. "Change the room color!" The paint on the walls turned from purple to green to blue and then back to purple again. "I can change my clothes, and your clothes. I can change you into a girl or me into a boy! I can teleport!" The two instantly vanished and landed in the living room, a different one though. Maria definitely resembled Sabrina, except for the fact that Maria seemed much more playful.

"Why do you live in Dark Cave in Johto though?"

"Because I hate my sister. I wanted to be the Saffron gym leader for as long as I can remember! I was even the one who gave her the idea. And then of course she decided that she wanted the same thing." Ash took a step backward from the angry teenager. Maria snapped her fingers creating a pair of handcuffs appear around Ash's ankles so he couldn't walk away, yet instead Ash fell onto his back. "I mean, I am a better psychic than she was when the last gym leader was testing us. I practiced ever since I got my powers when I was five." She looked down. "Oh, sorry dear. When I talk about my sister, I can do a lot of stupid things." Maria snapped her fingers, making the cuffs disappear. "Okay, now why don't we go back to the dinner table and continue talking." Maria smiled as she grabbed Ash's hand, helping him up and ran with him to the dining room. The two sat down beside each other once again. Ash grabbed his plate while Maria grabbed a corn on the cob.

"So, do you ever leave this place?" Ash asked, killing the silence.

"Not usually, sometimes it's nice to get out and left my Pokemon run and battle against weak little trainers." The girl giggled. "It helps boost their confidence, my Pokemon's, not the trainers. They're left crying in my dust!"

"Hey! I'll have to challenge you before I leave. One on one. Pikachu would definitely enjoy a good battle when it gets better!"

"Yes. I'll try to fit that into yours and my schedule." Maria placed her lips upon Ash's cheek. "Sorry." The girl chuckled, "You had some ketchup on your cheek." Ash blushed.

"Oh. Okay. Well, thank you." He stuttered. Maria snapped her fingers, refilling Ash's plate and drink.

"Dig in, it's not like I'm ever going to run out!" Maria smiled. Ash was amazed at the sight. This was the best meal he ever had in his life! And he was having thirds. The enchanted house was also great! The pictures of her family were moving, just like a video. Only, there didn't seem to be a portrait of Sabrina. I guess that shows how much Maria dislikes her.

"Maria, I know this is a bit much to ask, but would I be able to stay the night here?" Ash asked, he definitely looked as if he could pass out any second from running around in the cave all day.

Maria looked stunned at Ash. Not because his question had been dumb, but more as if it should be obbviously that her answer would be a yes. "Of course you can Ash. You are the only person who I have talked to in years. I would be honored to have to stay here."

Maria stood up and walked behind Ash putting her hands on his shoulders. "Oh my, you're so tense!" The girl began rubbing Ash's shoulders, receiving a moan of enjoyment. "You know, in my life I've had quite a few boyfriends." Maria continued massaging Ash's back. "Sabrina, even competent in that area had twice as much. When we were younger, her being fifteen and I being twelve, she would always teach me the art of seduction. It's hard to keep control of our powers, like when I accidentally got you stuck in those cuffs. If a man that Sabrina was getting frisky with got scared of her powers, she would use her powers to paste him on a wall or floor and wouldn't let him go until she was through calm." Ash stopped to take a second to think.

"Wait..."

"Don't worry, I'm just making conversation." Maria rested her head upon Ash's head, with her breasts pressed up against his neck. "I haven't even really had the chance to do everything she taught me, being hidden out here for years..." The girl moved her head from above Ash's to beside and began circling his cheek with her tongue.

"Maria!" Ash jumped up. Only Maria had caught a hold of his face and pulled him into a kiss. The girl's hands pulled Ash's face in towards her "What was that for?"

"Lets just say it's a thank you kiss." Maria smiled seductively. "Now I'll show you where you will be staying."
