[color=hotpink]"That's a possibility,"[/color] Ella replied as she walked alongside Leisy, trying to remember the details of the dream. How had she forgotten it so quickly?

It wasn't long until the two girls reached the seashore, littered with seaweed and driftwood, Krabbys and Corphishes scuttling across the sand. This looked like it would be a good place to train eventually, but for now, Ella had other concerns.

Following Leisy towards a grotto, Ella backed away in surprise as three Pokemon flew out. Three squishy blobs with endearingly huge eyes. [color=hotpink]"Ohh! What cute Pokemon!"[/color] Nonetheless, she kept her distance as she pointed her Pokedex at them. There had to be a reason why they'd all rushed out at her and Leisy.

"Inkay, the Revolving Pokemon," came the mechanical voice. "It flashes the light-emitting spots on its body, which drains its opponent's will to fight. It takes the opportunity to scuttle away and hide."

Ella relaxed slightly. [color=hotpink]"It's ok, we don't mean any harm,"[/color] she reassured the three Inkays, who ignored her and scattered. [color=hotpink]"Huh? I wonder what got into them..."[/color]

She jumped at a purple flash and a cry from inside the grotto. Staring in, she gasped. A fourth Inkay writhed on the ground, its lights weak and flickering. Deep inside the grotto, something moved, drawing closer to her and Leisy. Luminous spots on its body flared. The Inkay's spots flashed in response, but their pulsing became steadily slower.

Ella's instincts told her to run, make sure she and Leisy got to safety, but she couldn't leave that Inkay behind. Instead of getting away, she rushed forward, whipping out an empty Pokeball. [color=hotpink]"You'll be safe in here,"[/color] she said as the capsule scooped up the injured Pokemon.

A long tentacle lashed at her, glowing purple. Yelping, Ella dodged the Night Slash just in time. Her foot struck a rock. She landed in a heap on the grotto floor, staring up.

The lights pulsed in an accelerating pattern, fixating her as they illuminated the creature's body. A gleaming purple Pokemon, with flowing tendrils and brilliant yellow eyes... [color=hotpink]"Wow! It's beautiful!"[/color] Ella breathed, unable to look away, its thrall taking a hold of her.

Brighteye, her Pokeball shaken by the impact, burst out and drifted in front of Ella. As the Duskull's dark cloak blocked out the lights, Ella snapped back to reality. [color=hotpink]"Ah! W-What was I doing?!"[/color] Looking away from the squid-like creature, she scrambled to her feet.

It was then that she realised something. This could just have been because of the Inkay's weakened state, but its spots had been flashing in a pattern opposite to that of the larger Pokemon, quickly then slowly... What had it been trying to do?
