- "I had a vision of your arrival! I have had psychic powers since I was a little child. I first learned to bend spoons with my mind. I dislike fighting, but if you wish, I will show you my powers!"
- — Sabrina, Pokémon Red and Blue and Yellow.
Sabrina (ナツメ, Natsume) is the Saffron City Gym Leader and is an adept user of Psychic-type Pokémon. She gave the Marsh Badge to trainers able to defeat her.
Appearance
Sabrina is a slim young woman of medium height. She has long black hair with shorter layers around her face and a fringe and small purple eyes. She wears a red and black dress with yellow cuffs over black tights/leggings, white gloves and red and yellow knee high boots.
In the HeartGold & SoulSilver games, she has shorter hair, it is now around shoulder blade length, and she wears a tight fitting spaghetti strap pink crop top and white slim fit pants attached with a belt and pink slip on shoes. She also wears agreen and black bracelets on her wrists.
Personality
Possessing a very serious and unwelcoming type of personality, Sabrina, much like the Pokémon she commands, is easily identifiable by the cold, calculating expression on her face. Her strong compatibility with Psychic-type Pokémon and her own, robotic appearance could mistake her for being inhuman.
Biography
Games
Sabrina in the games is a far less complex character than her Anime personification. She was first seen in the original Red and Blue games, as the Saffron City Gym Leader. When defeated, the player receives the Marsh Badge along with a TM. In the Generation I games the player receives TM46 (Psywave) and in the Generation III games, TM04 (Calm Mind). After Sabrina's defeat in HeartGold and SoulSilver, she can be found at Olivine Port on Fridays, ready to give out her PokéGear number. She is at Olivine Port on Mondays, and can be called for a rematch on Sundays between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. In Black 2 and White 2, Sabrina is an actress who appears in the "Magical Kingdom's Mysterious Doors" series of scripts; she also makes an appearance at the PWT.
