'''Sabrina''' is one of the gym leaders who must be battled in the first generation games of the ''[[Portal: Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' series. She acts as the leader of the Saffron City Pokémon gym and specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon. Sabrina herself has had Psychic powers since she was a child.

=Background=

Sabrina disliked battling, but in the past she defeated the Karate Master of the Fighting Dojo with ease, in order to establish her gym as the Saffron City's official gym within the Kanto Pokémon League. Her gym was a maze of rooms that were connected by warp tiles rather than doors. In ''[[Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions|Pokémon: Red, Green, Blue]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Yellow Version|Yellow Versions]]'' (as well as ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]''), [[Red]] battled her after liberating Silph Co. from [[Giovanni]]. She had a vision of his arrival, but she was shocked when Red defeated her, and awarded him with the Marshbadge and TM 46: Psywave (or TM 04: Calm Mind in ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'').

Sabrina still resided in her gym three years later, in ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon: Gold, Silver,]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal Versions]]'' (as well as ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]]''). This time she was challenged and defeated by [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]], and she acted as the second of the [[Kanto]] gym leaders who could be battled in that generation. Upon meeting the trainer, she said that she had foreseen their arrival three years ago (which, oddly enough was around the time she battled Red). After being defeated, Sabrina surrendered another Marshbadge to them (as well as 48: Skill Swap in ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver''). Realizing that the trainer's power was greater than she foresaw, she admitted as a consequence that their power was beyond her psychic ability. Afterwards, she further mused that love might also be a psychic ability. 

In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', she appeared at Olivine City's harbor near the S.S. Aqua on Fridays, due to a sudden urge to see the ocean, and the trainer could exchange Pokégear numbers with her there, and it was also possible to take pictures with her there on Mondays. Calling her on Sundays (between the hours of 10AM and 8PM) caused her to appear at Saffron's Fighting Dojo for a rematch.

Sabrina returned in ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions 2|Black and White 2]]'', which brought her to [[Unova]]. She could first be found at the Pokéstar Studios, where she acted as the villainess of the Mystery Doors of Magical Land series, known as Magical Queen Bellelba, and she was battled twice over the course of the film series. She also appeared as one of the competitors in the Pokémon World Tournament, taking part in the Gym Leaders, World Leaders and Type Experts Tournaments as well as the special download tournament called "The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon". Her dialogue in the tournament battles was similar to her dialogue from the second generation games, including claiming to have foreseen this battle three years ago.

For "The Battle of the Legendary Pokémon", Sabrina has [[Mewtwo]] in addition to Alakazam and Espeon.

When acting as Bellelba in the Mystery Doors of Magical Lands films, she is battled twice. In the first battle, she uses [[Woobat]] and [[Swoobat]]. For the second battle, instead of Pokémon the player has to defeat two enchanted doors, one of them Fire-type and the other a Grass-type.

=Other Games=

Sabrina was the sixth gym leader to be battled in the Gym Leader Castle of ''[[Pokémon Stadium]]''. In this game her roster consisted of Alakazam, Kadabra, Mr. Mime, [[Hypno]], [[Exeggutor]] and [[Jynx]] in the first round battle. In the second round she used [[Snorlax]], Mr. Mime, Alakazam, Hypno, Exeggutor and [[Wigglytuff]].

Sabrina, as she appeared in the anime, appeared in ''[[Pokémon Puzzle League]]'' as the seventh opponent, between [[Koga]] and [[Blaine]]. She used an Abra, a Hypno and an Alakazam.

Sabrina also appeared in the Kanto Gym Leader Castle of ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'' . Her new roster consisted of [[Wigglytuff]], Alakazam, [[Slowbro]], Hypno, Mr. Mime and [[Furret]] in the first round; and [[Sandslash]], Alakazam, [[Hitmonlee]], [[Typhlosion]], [[Slowking]] and [[Scizor]] in Round 2.

=Other Appearances=

*Sabrina was featured in a three-part episode of the Pokémon anime, where she had a second personality that manifested itself in the form of a little girl looking for someone to play with. Ash inadvertently cured Sabrina when a [[Haunter]] he had acquired caused Sabrina to laugh.
*Sabrina appeared in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, initially as a villainous gym leader working for [[Team Rocket]]. She captured [[Moltres]] for the team and used her [[Mr. Mime]] to create a barrier around [[Saffron City]], where Team Rocket was based, until [[Red]]'s [[Pikachu]] defeated it. In the final battles of the ''Red''/''Blue''/''Green'' arc, Sabrina battled Green and was defeated by her. She also commanded the fused form of [[Articuno]], [[Zapdos]] and Moltres until it was defeated. During the ''Yellow'' arc Team Rocket returned to battle the Elite Four on Cerise Island, at which point Sabrina's [[Kadabra]] created Spoons of Destiny to link them together. She and Green battled [[Lorelei]] and defeated her, although the ice handcuff used on Sabrina caused some intense form of frostbite which she had to cure at Mt. Silver's hot springs in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc. She met Red there and gave him a Spoon of Destiny that later led him to the final battle at Ilex Forest. In the competition with the Johto gym leaders, Sabrina battled and defeated [[Bugsy]]. She also made an appearance in the ''Black 2/White 2'' arc, where she was shown as an actress at Pokéstar Studios.
*She was featured in a chapter of the ''Electric Tale of Pikachu'' manga, where she was shown to be a gentle shrine maiden who was traumatized by a childhood incident in which a giant Haunter called the Black Fog had killed her Pokémon by sucking out their souls. In the present day, she defeats Ash in a Pokémon battle, but then they go to confront the Black Fog. It sucks out her soul, temporarily killing her, leaving it to Ash and Brock to defeat it. The Black Fog chooses to self-destruct rather than be caught, which revives Sabrina, who laments her foe's circumstances.
*Sabrina made a brief appearance in the ''Pokémon Origins'' anime, which depicted her defeat at Red's hands.

=Trivia=

*Sabrina's name origin is uncertain. It could be a play on 'Abra' (one of her Pokémon), 'brain' or the plant 'Zebrina'. It may also be intended as a reference to the fictional character Sabrina the Teenage Witch, who was featured in a popular television series of the same name at the time that the games were released in America.
*Her Japanese name is Natsume, which means 'jujube'. Her character in the Mystery Doors Films, Bellelba, is called Jujube in the Japanese version as a reference to this.
*In ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'', she claims that everyone has psychic power, but they do not realize it.
*She is officially considered the sixth of Kanto's gym leaders in the first generation, even though she can be fought well before [[Koga]] (who is officially the fifith)
