Artemis screeched in pain from Loki's attack but kept going; a new plan of attack gleaming in her eyes. She was hurting and now she planned to make Loki suffer, just like she was. Instead of striking with the intended Wing Attack, she threw herself into an aerial tackle. Keegan had never seen Artemis use Endeavor before, and as he watched her pummel Loki into oblivion he began to understand that an attack like that would only be useful in times of crisis. Now she should finish him off with a Quick Attack, he thought, watching the two intently. He was trying not to be biased but he knew that Loki was a bit more experienced than Artemis. If she could bring him down, well that meant that she was stronger than he'd given her credit for, and that he and Loki would just have to work a little harder.
The Swellow must have been a mind reader because that's exactly what she did - she pivoted in the air and struck again with an almost invisibly-fast attack. Loki wavered a bit before he toppled over in the sand. An equally-exhausted Artemis landed on the ground in front of the cobra and poked at him with a wing. Loki's eyes opened slightly, and stayed open just long enough to give the bird a look that clearly said 'Don't think I won't get you for this.' Keegan held up the proper Pokeballs and recalled them both. "Nice job, you two. You've come along way." He clipped the two spheres onto his belt and looked to Themis and Althena. Now even he knew that it wouldn't be a very fair match, at least for Althena. As the Manectric and Golduck took their places in the sand, the redhead called out to the electric type. "Keep those electric attacks to yourself," he told Themis. "Remember, you guys aren't trying to kill each other."
The smirk Althena wore was more insulting than being told he couldn't use his electricity, and Themis growled angrily. It was no matter. He'd show that overgrown duck he could take her out without using electricity. He bared his fangs and crouched low to the ground. Althena took up an offensive stance, waiting for Keegan to give the order to start.
=====
Tingle's attack scored another direct hit, and again Miharu silently thanked herself for teaching Aerial Ace to Tingle as well. The Umbreon was looking a bit shaky on its feet and Miharu wondered how much more it could take. Tingle still looked ready to take on the world though and Miharu didn't want to hesitate when Tingle was on the ball - it was seldom the Metang got into battle-mode without a stern talking to.
The Umbreon fired off another Shadow Ball at Tingle, but this one was noticeably weaker than the first. Tingle hovered up and out of the way of the inky blob before rushing in to attack with another Metal Claw. Temayo sighed heavily as her Umbreon fell and she recalled it. "Well Semomo, it looks like it's your turn now."
The sister wearing the watery blue kimono stepped forward and Miharu was certain she'd be facing a Vaporeon now. When the blue Pokemon appeared in front of her Miharu smiled. She'd always thought the water type of the Eevee line was rather beautiful, but that wasn't going to stop her from defeating it, just like the others. "Tingle, start off with Confusion!" she shouted. Tingle's body became outlined in a light, bluish aura and a moment or so later the Vaporeon's body did the same. With a flick of its 'wrist' Tingle pushed the water type back, but it seemed the Vaporeon was rather strong-willed and wasn't going to be pushed around so easily.

"My hero!" proclaimed Sasha as she wrapped her slender arms around Mike's neck. Three Rocket grunts shook in terror and ran away as Mike recalled Nitro. He smiled as he felt her soft and ample chest press against his side. "No problem at all babe." replied the boy with a dramatic flick of his hair. "Wherever there are people in trouble, I shall be there to save them!"
"Oh Mike, you're so dashing!" another set of arms slid around the boy's waist. It was Flannery, who was sporting an extremely low cut shirt and short shorts. "and handsome." the Gym Leader ran a teasing finger up the boy's stomach, stopping occasionally to appreciate his well defined abs. It wasn't long before Kasiya and Mitsu had joined in two, all four girls swooning and caressing him lovingly.
"Ladies, ladies," Mike said, pretending to be bothered by it, but ending the sentence with a smile. "There is plenty of me to go around." He rested his arms on the two closest girls and let out an approving 'hm'; this was the kind of thanks he should be getting. Unfortunately his enjoyment wouldn't last. A shrill scream caught the boy's attention as a dark tendril wrapped itself around Sasha's leg and jerked her away. "Sasha!" Mike ran after her, but whatever was pulling her was simply too fast.
"Help me Mike!" tears streamed down her cheeks as she clawed the ground in vain. "It hurts!"
Another shriek, this time it was Kasiya. Both her arms were entangled as he was dragged away. She kicked her legs and screamed defiantly.
"Kassie!" Mike shouted as he turned and gave chase.
"Mike, don't leave me!" cried Sasha, another shapeless form coiling itself around her waist. Mike watched in horror as she was dragged out of sight. A few moments later her screams faded into the dark.
"Sasha!" Mike called out, but heard no answer. "No!"
"Mike, save me!" Kasiya continued to flail around against her captor as Mitsu was also dragged away kicking and screaming. He could only stand there and witness all his friends being taken away from him. Soon all that remained was him and Flannery, the area around them engulfed in a black haze.

Keegan had barely raised up his arm before Themis was off like a shot, sand spraying up behind him with each step as he tore towards Althena. A deep growl escaped his throat as he charged the Golduck, fully intent on chomping down on her with his sharp fangs. Althena took a step back and brought her hands together, the red jewel on her forehead shining as an icy blue energy was formed between her cupped hands. With a shout she thrust the orb forward and an Ice Beam rocketed out at Themis. I've never seen her use Ice Beam like that before, Keegan thought. He didn't even get a chance to wonder if Themis could dodge it or not as the Manectric suddenly jumped into a Quick Attack, using the extra speed and momentum to leap high into the air.
I wonder what he'll do next, Keegan though, scratching his chin. It seemd this type of training was good for more than just battle experience, as it gave the redhead some insight to what was going on his the minds of his Pokemon as well. Themis had always been able to think on his feet, and was very quick to change his plan of attack, and quite often right in the middle of an attack at that.
Themis took aim and loosed a Flamethrower down at Althena, who had nowhere to go as the flames rained down on her from above. She beared it with relative ease, peering up through the searing flames at the Manectric before she carefully aimed a Water Pulse up from underneath him. Themis hadn't thought of the possibility of a counterattack and it scored a direct hit, sending the Manectric tumbling back towards his starting position.
=====
"Counter with Water Gun!" Semomo commanded. The Vaporeon shook itself free from Tingle's psychic hold and fired a stream of water in retaliation at the Metang. Tingle closed its eyes in time for the Water Gun to hit it right between the eyes. "Nice shot, Vaporeon!" Semomo cheered.
Tingle shook itself off, sending water droplets flying in all directions. It was going to take more than a little splash of water to take it out of the running. Miharu was having a hard time keeping herself from jumping up and down excitedly - when Tingle was in battle-mode it was a force to be reckoned with. "Aerial Ace!" Miharu shouted, pumping her fist into the air. Raising a claw, Tingle zoomed towards the Vaporeon, who tried to dodge with a Quick Attack, but the unerring Aerial Ace still struck home, leaving a deep gnash in the water type's side.

From the darkness, a smokey somewhat formless tendril appeared. It waved in an almost teasing manner above them. "Go away!" shouted Mike, as he charged up a fireball and shot it at the offending tentacle. "I won't let you take her away from me!"
Like you 'didn't let me' take the rest of your friends? it surprisingly replied as the fireball passed right through it. The voice seemed to come from everywhere. Some more tentacles rose up from the ground, three of them carrying Mike's friends. They squirmed weakly, tears streaming down their faces. No matter what you do, you can't protect them forever. Without another word it lashed out, grabbing Flannery with its many arms. She let out a sharp yelp before being hoisted into the air and added to the monster's collection.
"No! Stop!" He cried out as he fell to his knees. The girls' expressions of fear burning holes into him. He could feel their terror, he had never felt so helpless. "Let them go!" He wailed, his arms barely able to support himself. The creature didn't respond. It simply withdrew its arms, and one by one the girls vanished, their muffled screams like nails on a chalkboard.
Mike sprung awake with a loud and terrible scream. "Flannery!" He looked around in a panicked haze, not sure of where he was. After a few deep breaths he realized that he was home in Lavaridge, in his bed. "Another dream." he mumbled to himself, the residual images still flickering in his mind. The dreams were getting stronger, more brutal. Soon he'd have a hard time discerning his dreams from reality. It would go back to the way it was. He couldn't bear to think about it, but the flashes just wouldn't stop. "Cut it out!" He threw himself on his back and covered his face in his pillow, screaming for the images to go away. "I won't go back! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!" shrieked the boy, clutching his head. "Why won't you leave me alone!" He thrashed about, tearing apart his bed in a violent tantrum.
His chaotic muffled screams could faintly be heard as the sun began to rise on Lavaridge Town.

After maybe an hour of walking, Train finally saw Mount Moon looming in the distance. She sped up her walking pace a bit, and another hour later, she was finally almost there.
After running the rest of the way to the ginormous tunnel, Train stopped to catch her breath by the entrance. Pikachu sat by her feet, doing the same. Once Train had her normal breathing rate back, she patted Pikachu on the head and then entered the cave.
It was darker than she remembered it, but that was probably because the sun was beginning to go down, just nearing the horizen when she had walked into the cave. Train felt the familier fear build up, but she did her best to push it away and continued through the cave, though it didn't help that she could barely remember that paths she had taken.
After a while, the teenager finally saw a familier ladder leading down, and she climbed down quickly, putting her foot down cautiously as she saw that it was even darker in this level of the cave than before. Pikachu was again on her shoulder, but he jumped down to walk closely by her heels. After a few minutes of walking, Train thought she heard someone else moving in the darkness. She could still see a bit, and make out shapes, but as she glanced around, she couldn't see anything moving, and continued on, though her hand was hovering by the new pouch that was hanging from one of her belt loops, which were holding her Poke Balls, as she had replaced her old belt with a regular, non-Poke Ball compatable one.

The wild Hoothoot quickly replied with a Tackle, knocking Sentret back a few feet. Sentret struggled to get up this time, though he still looked as determindly stubborn as ever. "Sentret, use Scratch!" Kurine commanded quickly, seeing that the Hoothoot had been signifigantly weakened, though, as well. Sentret had either finally decided to listen to Kurine, or was planning on using the attack anyway, because he swiped at the wild Hoothoot and caused it to faint.
"Well, at least you won," Kurine sighed, returning her Sentret to his Poke Ball. She clipped the Poke Ball back onto her belt, deciding that that was enough training for him for a while. She walked through the grass again, in search of another Pokemon to battle. And hopefully in the next battle she would actually get to be a part of it rather than just be ignored.

Though the beach umbrella did a relatively good job of blocking the beach sand from blowing all over Crenu while he slept, it didn’t do much to keep the morning sun from hitting him directly. As Crenu clenched his eyes he was not surprised, as he had accounted for this the night prior. He did his best to guess where the wind would blow from over the night and early into the morning, but unfortunately this was opposite from the direction that the sun would rise and thus the umbrella would only bounce the light back at him. It was unfortunate, but being woken by the early sunlight was a small price to pay as long as the sand would stay out of his face as he slept. Rubbing his eyes as he sat up on the beach chair that had provided him with a bed he straightened his back which resulted in a series of loud and satisfying cracking noises. Crenu’s hair was a mess, but it never really looked that neat anyway. As he stood up, he threw his coat on despite the bright sun shining down on him so early in the morning. It was only going to get worse, he was going to have to find a place to store his coat and get washed up. Crenu yawned as he slung his bag over his shoulder and watched as a young girl, probably no older than 10, walked past giggling with what Crenu assumed to be her young Tauros. It looks like an adult only smaller in size and less angry, she was lucky to have such a rare and powerful pokemon like that on her team. “Heh, she probably doesn’t even deserve that pokemon, I hate to see that kinda power wasted on someone who doesn’t know how to use it properly.” He shook his head and started walking, heading for a shack in the middle of the beat that looked like it sold refreshments and served as a wash down station for beach goers who wanted to wash the sand and sea water off of themselves. “Perfect.” Crenu headed for the beach house wanting to get out of the sun as soon as possible.

Train jumped as she heard someone move again.
"Pika--!" Pikachu suddenly cried out, only to be cut off. Train whirled around to face where she'd heard the sound, and saw the shape of someone running away, Pikachu making muffled cries that were getting farther and farther away.
"Pikachu!" Train yelled, running off after the person, doing her best to avoid rock. She ran agiley enough through the tunnel, following the kidnapper. They eventually came to another ladder, and the kidnapper dissapeared as he or she shot through the hole. Train quickly went down after them, though it was even darker than before, and now she was really scared. She finally remembered that she did, in fact, have other Pokemon, though, and reached inside the pouch hanging from her belt. She pulled out one of the Poke Balls and pressed the button to make it bigger, but didn't open it yet.
She was mostly following the kidnapper by sound, though she could still just barely make out the outlines of the person. Train sped up a bit, though her breathing was becoming heavier and shorter, and a knot was beginning to form on the side. She finally pressed the button on the Poke Ball and her Ratata popped out, the red light momentarily letting Train see. The kidnapper was male, and was wearing all black. Other than that, she couldn't really see him, and then the light dissapeared, anyway.
Pikachu also seemed to finally have a moment of rememberance as well, and sparks began to shoot out from his cheeks, soon turning into a small charge that coursed through his kidnapper. Train could see momentarily in the small amount of light, but all she could tell was that the kidnapper was male, and was wearing all black.
The kidnapper let out a cry and dropped Pikachu, who scrambled back to Train, who finally pressed the button on the Poke Ball she was holding, and Ratata appeared in the beam of red light. "Don't let him get away, Ratata!" Train said, and Ratata nodded and scurried after the kidnapper, while Train did her best to keep up her pace, even though the knot in her side was getting pretty annoying and painful, not to mention her throat was starting to burn a little bit, too. She really should've kept herself in better shape...

Themis recovered nicely after taking the Water Pulse, realizing pretty quickly that without the use of his electricity, it left him with only his physical attacks and Flamethrower (which was virtually useless against a water type like Althena), and that meant he'd have to get close to the Golduck in order to attack her. And that wouldn't be easy, since Althena had a lot of long-range moves in her arsenal. While he was thinking, Althena took the opportunity to charge up another Ice Beam and fire it at the stationary Manectric. Themis was quick to react and he jumped backwards as the beam crashed into the sand, freezing solid on impact. Themis stared wide-eyed at the frozen branches of sand, very glad that he hadn't been hit by that attack.
Come on, Themis, you can think of something, Keegan mentally urged his Pokemon on. He'd already picked out the disadvantage Themis would be at by disallowing the use of his electric attacks and he wanted to push the Manectric into using his head a little more. Themis began to charge forward again, looking as though he planned to try and Tackle Althena. The Golduck watched, grinning slyly as the Manectric neared her. She took aim and sent another Ice Beam flying at him, the confident smirk never leaving her face.
Themis had predicted that she would use the same attack again and he was prepared to counter it. He summoned his energy and sent a Flamethrower shooting out in front of him to block the icy ray. Steam rose up from all around the charging Manectric and Althena took a step back as her intended target became enveloped in a thick mist. Keegan raised an eyebrow as Themis then leaped from the fog, pinning Althena to the ground as his Tackle finally hit home. Helios cheered his friend on from his perch atop Tierra's back, very pleased to see that all his teammates were getting to be very tough indeed.
=====
The water type was panting now, and it was visibly having a difficult time remaining upright. Tingle's attacks were fairly strong and Aerial Ace was impossible to avoid. Semomo grit her teeth and watched the Metang hovering nearby. She hadn't expected Miharu to have a Pokemon like that at her side. The blue-clad kimono girl cast a glance towards her sister, Satsuki, who only smiled in return. It was not in these girls' blood to give up, not even in the most dire of circumstances.
"Okay Vaporeon, fight back with Surf!" she shouted suddenly. She didn't generally like to use this technique - she preferred the grace and precision of a well-timed Water Pulse or Water Gun - but the small, green-haired girl and her Metang had proven to be a much bigger challenge than originally anticipated.
Miharu's eyes opened wide with fright at the sight of the Vaporeon calling up the huge tidal wave. There wasn't anything she could do to counter it or have Tingle protect itself, so she watched, paralyzed, as the wall of water crashed down onto her Pokemon.

Robin stared in amazement as the Combusken smashed the rock. "Wow! If Luffy can do that now then he really did pick a good move." Robin felt a bit better now about Luffy running off and grabbing a move. "Well good job then Luffy!"
On her shoulder Luffy just grinned widely before looking around the area for something to smash on his own. The walking drumstick had showed off how tough she was and now Luffy wanted to show he was just as strong. Glancing around he finally spotted a boulder nearby and jumping off of Robins shoulder he ran over before leaping into the air. His tail started to glow as he flipped around and smashed it hard into the rock. Upon impact the rock burst into pieces. Seeing his victory Luffy jumped around happily before running back to Robin and perching on her shoulder again.
When Robin saw her pokemons new strength she couldn't help but jump and clap. "You were great Luffy! With this new move I bet we can take on a lot of new enemies!" Giggling slightly Robin and Luffy gave each other a high five proud of each other.

Crenu entered the shack and began taking in the surprisingly roomy shop. The moment that he entered the shack he was greeted by the tantalizing odor of various dishes that were coming out of the little kitchen. He supposed that this weather and location was prime for grilling all sorts of food, mostly fish. Looking around Crenu saw tables filled with people sharing in conversation and decked out in beach were, probably tourists such as himself. Walking up to the counter he put his head down as he tried to let his senses catch up with him now that he was awake. His stomach rumbled as the smell of something familiar wafted into his immediate area, something he was fond of but only got to each every now and them when a festival was indeed taking place in Ecruteak. He remembered watching the girls from the Kimono Dance Theater preform, no matter when he was always captivated by their beauty and the grace of their tradition steps passed down from generation to generation. Ecruteak was always hanging onto tradition from the days of old, even the buildings were built to resemble the homes of the days back before the war that ravaged their land and caused the Brass Tower to burn. History was always one of Crenu's favorite things to study besides pokemon, and thinking about home stured his fondness of the old ways. But the smell that brought all this to mind could be nothing else but Octillary balls.
"Hey there stranger, care for some Takoyaki? My treat. Any man bold enough to venture the beach of Saleport in a coat like that must have a burning passion within, and I like that!"

After walking around for maybe fifteen more minutes, another Hoothoot poked it's head out of the grass and looked at Kurine. The Pokemon stared at her for a second, then turned and took of through the grass.
"Oh! It's getting away!" Kurine cried, unclipping a Poke Ball from her belt and tossing it into the air in front of her. "Use Tackle!" Kurine commanded her Pokemon as Cyndaquil appeared in the beam of red light, the Poke Ball falling back into Kurine's hands, like a boomerang.
Cyndaquil ran towards the Hoothoot and tackled it, knocking the wild Pokemon over, then jumping off and landing on his feet a couple of feet away from the Pokemon. The Hoothoot let out an angry cry at being attacked and responded with a Tackle of it's own, but Cyndaquil quickly regained his footing and used an Ember at Kurine's command, causing the Hoothoot to cry out again and get sent flying backwards a few feet.

Ratata caught up with the kidnapper quickly enough and jumped on his back, causing him to stumble and trip over a rock. The kidnapper landed roughly on his front, and slid a bit, getting scraped up by the rocks and dirt on the floor of the tunnel. Ratata stood atop the man's back, and Train slowed to a walk and caught her breath when she neared the two. Pikachu jumped off of her shoulder and sniffed at the man, then sat down and watched to see what Train would do.
While Train was trying to catch her breath, the man scrambled to get up, causing Ratata to jump off of him, but Train said, "Oh, no, you don't!" and grabbed the man by the back of his shirt, then pushed forward so that her weight was on the man, and he ended up falling back over, having already been off balance. Train sat on the man's back and took a few deep breaths, while the man continued to struggle. Train stepped on the arm that was nearest to her, causing the man to give out a cry of pain. He was awfully scrawny.
"Why the hell'd you try to steal my Pikachu?" Train demanded, and when the man didn't answer, she hit the back of his head with her right palm, pushing his face into the dirt on the ground, and repeated her question. Suddenly, though, the man heaved himself upright, sending Train tumbling forwards, and then took off running again.
"Are you serious?!" Train exclaimed, and began running after the man again. Why couldn't this chase just end?

M.A. had phased out momentarily, just standing in the middle of the bazaar and taking everything in like a far-away observer. Which she was, in one sense.
She watched with a muted curiosity as Jaeshan chose some strange, glimmery disks and purchased them, handing over a hefty bit of money. Over the low murmur of the transactions all around, she could vaguely hear that they were TMs. Oh, Sae had mentioned those; that trainer she had fought the other day had used them to give her Pokemon strange attacks that they weren't usually capable of acquiring. He'd also suggested that she look into them as well, that they were quite handy for Pokemon.
Still somewhat off in her little bubble, M.A. floated towards one of those TM stands. Meanwhile, her half-there attention found Luffy messing around, and she saw how the disc glowed intensely before fading into a dull gray. An unconscious smile spread itself goofily across her face; that Aipom sure was something. But was that how Pokemon learned it from those little CD things? Intriguing. Yes. Kinda like computers in a weird way. Pokemon, computers? Oh, she was still very much not entirely there.
"Um, can I help you?" the lady asked, the one who had helped Jaeshan earlier.
M.A. snapped back to alertness. Wow, it was definitely getting late if she was zoning out so much! "Oh, sorry, hi," she said a bit breathlessly, blushing a bit from the slight embarrassment running through her face. The woman waited patiently for M.A. to continue, which made her blush a little more.
"Well, I guess I'm looking for a TM for my Pokemon, but I've never gotten one before, so I don't really know where to start..."
"I can help you with that. What Pokemon do you have?"
"A Houndour, a Swablu, and a Phanpy," M.A. said, a tad dreamily -- she was really out of it, she thought to herself, pinching herself beneath the table to keep her awake.
"Oh, you sound like you care about them very much," the woman said, mistaking M.A.'s half-asleep quirks for doting affection. "Why not this TM here? It contains an attack that gets stronger for how much your Pokemon cares for you, Return. So how many would you like?"
"Uh," M.A. deliberated, remembering the wad of cash Jaeshan had. She didn't think she had that much. "Just one would be fine, I think," she said, blinking away the sleep.
It was about then that the lady decided to take a risk; M.A. seemed like a pretty naive, lax girl. "That will be $3000," she said cheerily.
The saleswoman turned out to be right; M.A. wouldn't have known she was getting ripped if it was stamped on her forehead. At least not so late as this. For the time being, she fished through her pocket for a moment to pull out her little wallet which was surprisingly filled with bills she had hesitantly accumulated (for she always felt bad for taking someone's money if she battled them). Oh, she had enough. Phew. Without any sense of disquietude, M.A. forked over the extra $1000. So both dealer and customer were quite satisfied, the latter never knowing better.
The girl walked (or rather, staggered) to Robin and Jaeshan. "Heeey," she said haltingly, still blinking hard. "I think I'm gonna head back for tonight. Hope to see y'all tomorrow?" she said, grinning a little lopsidedly. In her mind she wondered a bit at who she'd give the TM to. Probably Daemyn, who had just popped out of his Pokeball and was now hovering about her feet -- evidently, he felt the need to walk her home.

Althena struggled under Themis' hold, unable to wriggle free from the Manectric's solid hold on her. The electric type smirked - who had the upper hand now? However, his victory was short lived as Althena opened her mouth and promptly sprayed him in the face with a Water Gun. It was a surprise attack, and cold too, and it forced Themis to stumble back. Althena quickly scrambled to her feet and jumped at the electric type, slashing him several times with her claws. Fury Swipes, Keegan thought, with a slight nod. Themis yelped and jumped back, shaking his head back and forth in anger.
These two are really out to get each other, mused Keegan as Themis snarled and jumped at Althena, clamping down on one of her arms with his sharp teeth. The Golduck hollered out in pain, swiping at the Manectric with her free hand. She managed to land another hit, leaving a trail of red scratch marks on Themis' face, just below the eyes. The two squared off again, gazes fixed on each other. Neither one wanted to be the first to move, but they also didn't want to be the one on the receiving end of the next attack. Keegan shook his head. These two sure were something.
=====
Tingle simply closed its eyes as the water cascaded down onto it, and for a terrifying moment, Miharu thought her Pokemon was going to drown. The wave crashed with a deafening roar, and even as the water began to recede Tingle shot up out of it, its body glowing with that same, bluish aura like before. Tingle's Confusion arched out from its outstretched arm and engulfed the Vaporeon, lifting it up off of its feet. A look of defiance shone in the Metang's eyes as it concentrated, swinging the helpless Vaporeon around like a rag doll. With one final flick of its 'finger', Tingle hurled the water type to the ground. It lie there for a moment or so, but slowly got back up to its feet.
"I can't believe it," Miharu murmured, rubbing her eyes as though it would change what they were seeing. It was looking quite shaky now, as though just trying to stand upright was a stamina-draining feat itself.
"Surf again!" Semomo shouted, pointing at Tingle. "We've got it on the ropes! C'mon Vaporeon!" Weakly, it let out a cry, once again summoning the massive tidal wave. Miharu's counter-command went unheard by human ears, but whatever it was Tingle seemed to have heard it as well, for it sent out another Confusion attack in response. Tingle's attack landed as the water crashed down, once again layering the battlefield in a devastating amount of water.
