Mithril-rama stared at the Gyarados blankly. "Well, uh... Electabuzz--" She paused and looked around. "There's no room to send him out! He'd just land in the middle of the ocean!" "Then what can we do?" Robert wailed. "We can't fight, and we can't run!" The Gyarados reared up to nearly its full height, and roared. Rilli squealed and clung to Robert. The Gyarados roared again, and flung its body down over the water, then proceeded to thrash about. Large waves formed across the sea and Slowbro bobbed wildly in the surf, but none of them were affected besides getting a little wet. Robert blinked. "Was that... its attack?" Rilli could swear the Gyarados looked sheepish, if that were possible. The Ditto-Gyarados also seemed to realize its mistake, and began to shimmer again. Its shape wiggled and fluctuated until finally settling on a gelatinous form. "Ten-ta-cruel," it declared. "Aaargh!" Robert quickly scurried away from the many-tentacled form. "Not another jellyfish pokémon! Slowbro, use your Confusion attack!" "Slow... bro," the dopey pokémon sighed before sending a barrage of psychic energy upon the Tentacruel. The jellyfish pokémon screeched and almost immediately crumpled into a limp pile of goo and tentacles. "Yes! It's weakened!" Robert cheered, readying his Ultra Ball. Before he could throw it, however, the Tentacruel began to glow again, growing bigger and bigger... and bigger, and bigger still. Finally, a giant black shape floated over the water, snoring loudly. Rilli sweatdropped. "A... Snorlax?" Robert frowned. "Well, I'm going to catch it anyway!" He hurled the Ultra Ball at its rotund belly, but it bounced off and back into Robert's hands. A large wave swept between them, driving Slowbro even further away. The two trainers watched as the Snorlax drifted far away, snoozing blissfully.
