Saffron Gym appeared in two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is depicted as an unusual dome-shaped building that also houses an institute for the study of {{wp|PSI}} phenomenon.
The Saffron Gym first appeared in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} found their way there after temporarily getting trapped by {{TRT}}. Ash challenged Sabrina to a {{pkmn|battle}}, but she offered an unusual and ambiguous request: if he lost, he and his friends would have to play with her. Ash was quickly overwhelmed by [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], resulting in him forfeiting the match. He and his friends were then shrunken down to the size of dolls by Sabrina, who trapped them in her toy town and nearly got them squashed by her toy ball. However, they were narrowly saved by [[Sabrina's father]], who told Ash that if he really wanted to defeat Sabrina, he would have to get a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon from [[Lavender Town]].  


The Gym first appeared in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} found their way there after temporarily getting trapped by {{TRT}}. Ash challenged Sabrina to a {{pkmn|battle}}, but she offered an unusual and ambiguous request: if he lost, he and his friends would have to play with her.
In ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Ash returned to the Saffron Gym with a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} he had befriended at [[Pokémon Tower]]. However, when he tried to challenge Sabrina again, Haunter suddenly disappeared. Ash forfeited the match, causing Sabrina to turn {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} into literal dolls. Before Ash could meet the same fate, Sabrina's father appeared once again and saved him.


Ash was quickly overwhelmed by [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], resulting in him forfeiting the match. He and his friends were  then shrunken down to the size of dolls by Sabrina, who trapped them in her toy town and nearly got them squashed by her toy ball. However, they were narrowly saved by [[Sabrina's father]], who told Ash that if he really wanted to defeat Sabrina, he would have to get a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon from [[Lavender Town]].
Once Ash had found Haunter, he returned to the Gym to challenge Sabrina once again. However, Haunter once again disappeared before the battle. Before Ash could be turned into a doll, {{AP|Pikachu}} stepped in to battle Kadabra and protect Ash. Halfway through the battle, Haunter suddenly reappeared, making funny faces and performing different sorts of other comedic acts to Sabrina. This eventually caused her to start laughing for the first time in years. Due to the Psychic link between Sabrina and Kadabra, the Psi Pokémon also started laughing, allowing Sabrina's father to declare Ash the winner and turn Brock and Misty back to normal. Ash subsequently received his fourth [[Badge]] and left Haunter with Sabrina.


Ash took his advice, and returned two episodes later in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'' with a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} he had befriended at [[Pokémon Tower]]. However, when he went to challenge Sabrina again, Haunter suddenly disappeared. Ash forfeited the match, causing Sabrina to turn {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} into literal dolls. Before Ash could meet the same fate, Sabrina's father appeared once again to save him. He told Ash to go find Haunter if he hoped to ever beat Sabrina. After a while of searching, Ash managed to find Haunter and convinced it to help him in the Gym battle.
Besides the battlefield, the Saffron Gym also houses a room dedicated for studying {{wp|PSI}} phenomena.
 
Once more, Ash returned to the Gym to challenge Sabrina with Haunter. However, it once again disappeared before the battle. Before Ash could be turned into a doll, {{AP|Pikachu}} stepped in to battle Kadabra and protect Ash. Halfway through the battle, Haunter suddenly reappeared, making funny faces and performing different sorts of other comedic acts to Sabrina. This eventually caused her to start laughing for the first time in years. Due to the Psychic link between Sabrina and Kadabra, the Psi Pokémon also started laughing, allowing Sabrina's father to declare Ash the winner and turn Brock and Misty back to normal. Ash subsequently received his fourth Badge and left Haunter with Sabrina, before heading to [[Celadon City]].
