It's so small... and all it knows is Bubble! Now, Slowbro, there's a Water Pokemon!" He looks down at the fifth Pokeball on his belt and notices it is actually a Safari Ball, "...and he's not here. I switched him with Tauros! ARGH!" "Diglett, Dig... Diglett, Dig..." The tiny Ground Pokemon pulsate up and down, some knocking their heads into Robert and Rilli's feet! Some meaner Dugtrio actually slash at the couple's sneakers! Robert thinks back to Team Rocket's evil Diglett, "Ugh. Bad memories... What do I do?!" Mithril-rama hops around, trying to avoid the little pests on the ground, "Don't you... have another... Water Pokemon?" "Yeah... but... but... it's..." Robert sweatdrops, "Golduck! She's the biggest clutz in the world!" "It's better than just Horsea..." Rilli points her small blue Pokemon at a Diglett and squeezes her! A single minuscule bubble floats out of her mouth and pops in front of the Diglett. "I think she's running out of ammo!" Robert bites his lip, closes his eyes, and reaches for the Pokeball in the sixth slot on his belt. "Here goes..." Robert tosses it up into the air. The familiar Pokeball popping noise rings out and a flash of red lights up the cave. A shapely female Golduck stands with her arms in a strange battle stance, "Golduck!" She notices the Diglett swarm, "DUCK!" "Okay..." Robert considers Golduck's water based attacks. She only has one. "Golduck, Surf attack!" The blue Golduck nods once and raises her arms in an attempt to be dramatic. "Gol...." Raindrops start to fall inside the cave, apparently coming out of no where. "Duck!" Golduck spits out a huge stream of water. She spins around clumsily as the water ejects from her beak, in essence, becoming an organic sprinkler! When water ceases to pour out of the Golduck's beak, all the Diglett are gone. "Whew!" Mithril-rama hugs her cheery Horsea tightly, "See, Robert? Golduck's not that bad!" Robert looks down at the soil at his feet... The shower from Golduck has turned the dirt into mud. His shoes are sinking in slightly. He stares at the span of wet ground in front of him. "I don't know... It's just too quiet..." Surely enough, after these words are spoken, a reverberating voice is heard, "Lett..." "Uh oh." Mithril-rama looks worried. Another voice resonates through the cave, "Dugtrio!" That voice is followed by a chorus of voices, "Dig!" All of the angry Diglett and Dugtrio pop out their heads, one by one... "Lett..." "Dugtrio..." "Dig..." This series of words are soon chanted by all the inhabitants of the cave, "Lett..." "Dugtrio..." "Dig..." "Lett..." "Dugtrio..." "Dig..." It's almost as if they are participants in a pep rally. To further prove that this case scenario is accurate, the masses Diglett and Dugtrio slide to the sides of the cave, becoming spectators. Robert and Mithril-rama stand in the middle of the "stadium", their eyes focusing in on Golduck, knowing that something is about to happen... The strange chant continues, "Lett..." "Dugtrio..." "Dig..." Robert watches the following second fly through his mind in slow motion. A huge Dugtrio pumps its three heads through the mud... right below his Golduck! The Dig attack from the monster sends Golduck flying! Mud splatters everywhere, including onto Robert and Mithril-rama's already dirty clothes. One second after it shows up, the mutant Dugtrio disappears into the ground! The crowd of Diglett cheer, "Dig Dig! Dig-lett! Dig Dig! Dig-lett!" Robert kneels down in front of his Golduck in the mud. He puts his arms around her, "Speak to me, Golduck!" She offers no reply... The Dig attack was so strong that she fainted. Robert rummages through the mud for her Pokeball and when he finds it, calls her back into it. Robert yells out, "I HATE THE DUGTRIO! Show yourself, you coward!" The curious spectator Diglett look around, wondering if the gargantuan Dugtrio will show itself again... It does. The Dugtrio pops up in front of the kneeling Robert, its eyes and voice displaying anger, "Trio, Trio, Trio?" "You monster!" Robert glares at the Dugtrio, which is just a little shorter than him because of the size of the Dugtrio and the fact that Robert is presently kneeling, "You hurt my only Water Pokemon. Now I'll stop you the only way I know how!" Robert grabs a random Pokeball from within his backpack and chucks it! The giant Dugtrio disappears in a flash of red light and the Pokeball falls onto the mud. Unfortunately, Robert didn't grab his one Ultraball. The measly Pokeball on the ground wiggles only once and the mutant Dugtrio emerges, angrier than before! "TRIO!!!" "Ahhhh!" Robert jumps behind Mithril-rama, "Y-You have a Water P-Pokemon left still... Help me, Rilli!" -Robert
