“You would offer me aid? At what price?” Ash asked suspiciously.

“I would only charge you to free the innocent shrinkee commoners from their tormentors.” Sabrina pretended to be very concerned with the plight of Ash’s fictional people.

Ash, who had just moments before wanted nothing to do with her, was somewhat impressed by her show. She seemed earnest and eager to help. Perhaps her intentions were good? Even so, would he set aside his pride to allow someone who spoke poorly of Princess Misty to aid him in his quest?

“I thank you for the offer white witch, but I doubt there is anything you could offer me to help aid me in my quest. I have my mount, my armor, and my blade. Tis all I need.”

“Truly? What if I were to enchant that armor for you? Or perhaps I could speed you along your journey. My magic help makes me one with the world. I can call upon the wind to fly you toward your destination.”

“……. A spell that could help me cover great distances?....... I am usually not one to partake in the dark arts but if it means saving the lives of my fair princesses people… Aye, I think I will accept your aid. Thank you white witch! I seek out the keep of Countess Casey Vonbuzz. She hath most unjustly betrayed her people. I feel she may be under the spell of the ‘team rocket’ necromancer guild. They have long sought power. I shall lift the noble countess from her curse and liberate the shrinkees from their deviant magical oppressors!”

“But of course……. Yet you have journeyed so long and hard. Perhaps rest is in order?”

Ash stared for a moment than shook his head, “Every moment I waist the more the people shall suffer. I only wish to liberate them and return to my fair princess Misty Waterflower.”

“But you must rest! The roads ahead are thraught with peril! And Countess Casey has hired legions of mercenaries to block your way.”

“I must go now.” Ash argued.

“No, you must rest here with me. At least till you’ve recovered your strength.”

Ash saw something in her eyes he didn’t like.

“Haw! Onward pickachu!” He shot past her.

Frowning Sabrina departed from his dream. She wouldn’t try anything else for tonight. Ash seemed quite set in his devotion towards Misty, at least in his dream world. Sabrina yawned and suddenly realized how weary she was. Staying in someone else’s dreams was actually very taxing. She closed her eyes and fell asleep
