Do something!" "I am so sorry, Murasaki my love," Splash said as he grabbed onto Marcia and hugged her tightly. "I never want to let you go." He squeezed Marcia, ignoring the pain in his leg and sighing happily as he pictures the bright future that he and Murasaki have together. However, his happiness was cut short when Marcia reminded him about the Krabby that was currently drawing blood out of Murasaki's ankle. "Splash," She cried out. "Do something!" Jumping into action, Splash let Murasaki out of his embrace at once. Then, ignoring the claw that was dug into his own leg, he yanked Marcia's ankle free of the female pokemon. Unfortunatly, as Marcia notes, this action has caused Splash to move his position. He is now blocking the only door to the tower. She only has one choice to get way from Splash. When he's distracted, she has to hide somewhere in the tower until she can get back through the door. Splash, focusing his attention briefly on his one and only Pokemon, Murasako, who is still attached to his leg, starts to scold it. "Don't you realize what you are?" Splash cries as he removes the Krabby from his leg and holds it in front of his face. "Do you realize how lucky you are to belong to my beloved Murasaki! Now, I know that you may not be too happy with me since this is the first time I've seen you since I stole you away from your owner, but as soon as you meet Murasaki, You'll fall in love with her just like I do. Right, Murasaki?" He turns to face the direction in which Marcia had previously occupied... And was stunned when he realized that she was no longer there. "Murasaki?" Splash called out as Murasako clamped onto his nose. "Did you get lost? I have to go find her!" With Murasako still attached to his nose, he wandered into the tower, franticly searching for Murasaki.
