"Froooooooo...."
Froakie slips away, and faints with swirls in his eyes.
With your hat covering your eyes, you reluctantly recall your starter, "Ugh......I.....I lost, again...." disappointment settles over you. Although you may have defeated one of the ranger's Pokemon, you're still a sixth of the way from conquering him fully.
You turn around in your shame, ready to walk away before he can talk more shit to you, when Miss Leading calls out to you.
"Calem."
"Huh? Miss? What is it?! Can't you see I'm wallowing in sadness over here!?"
She shakes her head, and then points at her hair. Of course, this confuses you.
"I...What?"
She lets out a sigh, and then points at her hair again. You kind of get the message, and assume that she must be talking about your head.
Curious as to what she means, you look up.
"Skreeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...."You jump.
"HOLY SHIT! I-....I, uh, HAVE YOU BEEN ON MY HEAD THE ENTIRE TIME?!!??!?!"
"Skreeeellllp..."
You forgot all about Skrelp!
The weedy sea-dragon hops off of your head and opposes Talonflame with a thin string of poison drool flowing from his mouth. The ranger looks at the scrawny thing, and gives a look of disapproval.
"I know for a fact that it won't feel like a win if I decimate that piece of crap in one blow. I'll have to prolong it and make it as painful as possible. Talonflame, don't hold back."
"TAAALOOOOOO!"
Skrelp gives a weak, dying cry of his name in retort.
