Sabrina's character [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga is different from the anime in that she is actually very kind. When Ash lost to her, she warmly welcomed the young trainer to stay and watch how the other trainers fight.

* Hints of this ship only exist in the fourth chapter ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'' and are primarily from Brock.
* When Ash asked Brock what he was doing in [[Saffron City]], Brock responded by telling Ash that he and Sabrina are old friends. When Ash asks "JUST friends?", Brock responds "Please don't rub it in like that. I get depressed easily.", indicating that he is sad not to be in a romantic relationship with her.

Hints of this ship only exist in the third chapter ''Haunting My Dreams'' and practically all are from Brock. Brock tells Ash that he and Sabrina are old friends when Ash asked him what he's doing in [[Saffron City|Saffron]]. They apparently are since it may have been Sabrina who told Brock that all her Pokémon got wiped out by the Black Fog when she was 10. When Ash asked, "JUST friends?", Brock tells him not to rub that fact in since he gets depressed easily.  
==Trivia==
*Despite the manga having an anime foundation, Sabrina's personality in The Electric Tale of Pikachu is vastly different from her {{pkmn|anime}} or {{pkmn|games|game}} persona: she is actually very kind. When Ash lost to her, she warmly welcomed him to stay and watch how the other Trainers fight.


There are no hints after that. After they kill the Haunter, Sabrina starts crying and throws herself onto Brock. This could just pass as the fact that she needed a friend to cry everything out to and may not like Brock the same way Brock likes her.
