Oz says, unsure of what attacks Psyduck has, stopping himself when he realizes how uncharacteristic it sounds of Misty to stutter. Feeling his precious seconds ticking by, he yells out simply, "Psyduck... attack!" "Psy...duck?" 'Psyduck' acted perplexed, tilting his head slightly in a questioning manner. "Grrrr..." Oz growled, still acting as Misty. Whether acting true to the part of Misty, or still having some violent anger from driving off the mobs of ecchi Misty fans, it was hard to tell, but Oz pulled the large stick back out of seemingly nothingness, and smacked Howard upside the head with it. "Psy!" Howard cried out sharply. His eyes instantly turn a bright shade of blue. Howard, however, is not acting. One of the natural quirks of the Psyduck begins to show through his human-like sentient conscious due to the sudden, painful blow to the head, instinctively casting Disable at the first being he sees. Minax felt every muscle in her body abruptly freeze, rendering her motionless. "Good job, Psyduck! You froze he-I mean, him!" Oz exclaimed, still not forgetting to use Misty's voice, thinking Minax freezing up was just some very good acting on her part. "Now use, uhh, Psychic and get rid of that mean old murderer!" Although he didn't know Psychic, Howard had managed to calm down enough to use his powers and throw the 'old man' back into the bushes, leaving a small, almost inperceivable quickly settling cloud of small, white fur. Howard concentrates and makes sure that Minax at least lands in the bushes softly, thinking about how angry she'll most likely be once the Disable attack wears off soon and he was truly going to be a Psyduck in hot water. "So, Nori," 'Misty' said confidently, walking up to her. "What'd you think?" "I don't think I remember Psyduck being able to learn the Psychic attack.…" Nori pointed out. "Well, uhh... that's just one of the ways Team Rocket has helped improve my stupid Psyduck into a strong, battle worthy Pokemon!" Oz tried to cover quickly, changing the subject before Nori has the chance to ask any more questions, "How about it? Would you like to join the infamous, stylish, and powerful Team Rocket, Nori?"
