Skin stinging from the flurry of sand, Ella covered her eyes with her arm, blindly stumbling alongside Leisy. She had no idea where they were going, but it didn't matter, so long as they got away from that Malamar.
When the sandstorm thinned and the beach came back into view, Ella slowed and stopped, gasping for breath. Her relief only lasted a second before she spun, letting out a shriek. Sand and water burst outwards at them as the Malamar reappeared, lights flaring furiously. The pink-haired girl tore her gaze away before the creature could take a hold of her mind again.
It may not have been able to see them through the sand, but it was a Psychic type. It must have used its power to track her and Leisy.
As Ella turned her head, she glimpsed two figures in the corner of her vision. Olivie, and a young man surrounded by Pokemon. Fully evolved Pokemon. The sight of them brought a surge of hope. Would they be able to take on the attacker?
Her hope gave way to horror as the Malamar lashed out at the boy's Tentacruel. In a spray of fluid, the jellyfish Pokemon fell to the ground, gunk oozing from a ruptured poison gland.
Rushing to the Tentacruel's side, Ella dropped to her knees. Was there anything she could do? The potion, the black sludge... Neither item, she realised with a sinking heart, would be effective enough to work on such an injury. Before she could even try anything, she found herself staring at empty space as Scylla vanished back into her Pokeball.
"Don't look at that Malamar's lights!" Ella warned the other trainers. "It can put people under, control their thoughts... I think this is the one that's been giving people the dreams!"
