"BAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
He smashes his rocky body, and the horrifying concoction it results in is something too terrifying for the naked eye.
What lies beyond his hardened exterior is an orange body covered in limbs.

It makes direct contact, sending the frog skidding across the sand over to you.
"Froakie...no....please, PLEASE get up! Water Pulse, WATER PULSE!"
Less than ten HP remaining, Froakie's dedication to you pushes him to get up and keep going. With the last of his strength, he unleashes a torrent of pulsing water at Barbaracle, right as he prepares to run up to him for another Dragon Claw.
It hits.
Barbaracle stops and shakes his head, attempting to gain composure of himself, but it's too late. Yellow chicks begin to soar over his head.
>Barbaracle is confused!"Yes! This battle is finally turning around, Froakie, toss another Water Pulse at it, quick!"
"I don't think so." retorts the ranger, who seems oddly confident.
"What do you mean!?"
Just as Barbaracle begins to suffer from the befuddling status effect, a white glow covers his entire body, and in seconds, the yellow chicks suddenly disappear.
>Barbaracle's held Persim Berry snapped it out of its confusion!"....Uh-oh."
