Just before I was able to get back on to the land, the entire, er, pond, or whatever it was we had to cross, was shot with electricity. Thankfully, the electricity didn't do all too much to me, but, it may have done a number on Kamina, thanks to the fact that his typing wasn't too great for surviving an electrical attack. That being said, it still hurt. "Gah! Watch where you aim that thing, next time!" I shout to M, who was apparently the one who possibly KO'd whatever water-type teammates we brought with us. I then, using the vine whip vine, jump up onto the land, and manage to attack a... uh... wait... what was that? It was some sort of purple blob thing with green eyes and short antennae. Unfortunately, my attack didn't seem to do much to the thing, which countered with the move counter, knocking me back, a ways and giving me a black eye. [i]What the? How does that thing know counter? I thought only that weird punching bag pokemon could use that.[/i] I think as I try to think about which move I should use next. This thing didn't appear to be a water type, but if it was, then it was either a higher level than I was, or was good at taking attacks... neither of those scenarios worked out very well for me, given that it also had a quick and easy way to literally throw my own attacks back at me. My thought process was then interrupted with the thing shouting "Explorers, huh? Well, I know I'm getting a promotion from Mister Mudkip when this is over! Yes, you will all know the name 'General Goom'!" He seemed pretty proud of that last attack... I just had to make sure that this WAS his last attack.
