Unbeknownst to the trainer and pokémon, a pair of eyes were watching them from a tuft of reeds that were mostly submerged in the water. A wild horsea peeped out of the water, keeping herself almost unnaturally still by having the curled end of her tail gripping the reeds.
What did these people want? Why were they circling around her pond?
Slowly, so that her movements wouldn't disturb the water too much, she released a stream of bubbles before ducking under the water and hiding herself timidly.

Within a moment's notice Rikard was caught off-guard by the crying out of his pokemon. Turning around, he could see the bubbles bursting in Valentina's face, as well as the direction they had been coming from. That was when he noticed the ripples of water reaching out from their epicenter towards the center of the pond. "Shake it off, 'Tina." Doing her best, the Gothita got back up on it's feet and looked out over the watery surface.
"You see where those ripples in the water are coming from?" His pokemon nodded, sounding off with a loud "Thita!" to concur it was able to tell where as well. "use your confusion attack in that direction. Use it a second time after that for good measure." Nodding yet again, his pokemon produced it's psychic attack to bring harm upon whatever had sought out battling the Gothita with a surprise attack. 'This pokemon must be pretty smart to do something like that...we'll have to be extra careful.' Preparing his last poke-potion, Rikard waited for the appropriate time to apply it to his pokemon, but for now he would wait patiently to see what happened in response to their attack.

The water, although it concealed her, didn't provide much protection from the pokémon's psychic waves. She resisted the temptation to swim back up to the surface and, instead, hurriedly swam to the other side of the pond where many lilypads covered the surface.
She nervously poked just the tip of her snout out of the water and released a thick billow of smoke, combining it with another bubble attack. Perhaps this would be enough to deter these unwanted and aggressive strangers from her home.

Keeping his eyes peeled over the water, he couldn't see anything. That was until smoke began billowing out of the water, and another series of bubbles came spewing out from it. His Gothita was yet again hit directly. "Githita!" The pokemon cried out, falling over once more, struggling immensely to get back up. "Dont' worry, 'Tina, just hold still." Yet again administering the medicine, his pokemon began to show signs of a rapid recovery by taking a stand.
"You ready?" His pokemon nodded, this time silent, the look on it's face spelling out that it wanted revenge. "Use Confusion at the center of the smoke cloud." knowing that it might not be enough, he continued the assault without much hesitation. "Use another one after that." All Rikard could do now was hope that the smoke made it more difficult for the other pokemon to see through as well, acting like a double-edged sword.

The horsea watched as the trainer administered some sort of... healing ointment on the pokémon he ordered around. Drats! She'd been so close!
She dove back under the water when she felt another confusion attack begin to addle her senses, evading further damage from them. Again, the horsea repeated her evasive tactic, not wanting to be revealed, and appeared in a different point of the pond, releasing even more acrid smoke to further mire the air. And, again, she used bubble.

'Did we miss?' It seemed so, as right after Gothita was done attacking, Rikard was already witnessing more smoke and bubbles being spewed out from the water. His pokemon was pelted by the bubbles as they burst, but ultimately was still left standing strong.
"Gothita, use Confusion in that direction instead." Gesturing towards the center of the smoke cloud before it grew much larger, the Gothita began throwing psychic waves throughout the water, hoping to hit it's target. 'I guess it will just have to be a matter of persistence, then.' Him and his pokemon were not going to back down from the challenge. Whatever it was attacking them, it would be discovered and defeated soon, or so he hoped.

She managed to evade yet another of the psychic pokémon's attacks but all this smoke made it hard for even her to discern where it was coming from. The second one caught her and she broke the water's surface with slight panic when she became entangled in the stems rooting some water plants to the pond bed.
"Horsea!" She whinnied, beginning to feel the effects of the persistent gothita's attacks now. Nervous but refusing to back down so soon, the small girl fired more bubbles out towards the human's pokémon, all the while she struggled to free herself.
Horsea dodged confusion! Horsea has no more dodges. Horsea was hit by confusion! Horsea used bubble! Horsea used bubble!

Watching as the dense smoke dissipated slightly, the water's surface began to clear up slightly, allowing Rikard to notice the faint movements of the silhouette of a pokemon towards the middle of the pond. His pokemon took more directs hits, but even still the Gothita refused to give in just yet.
"Alright 'Tina, now is our chance!" The pokemon, which had been rubbing it's eyes and face in pain from the attack, looked towards Rikard and then out onto the water. "Hit them with your confusion attack twice while they're still trapped." Without even giving the full command yet, Gothita began firing her psychic waves out towards the water flailing in the water. The smoke began to clear further, allowing Rikard to see just how the pokemon was trapped. 'So much for their home field advantage.' This pokemon would also belong to Rikard very soon.

The horsea began to panic. She was vulnerable to attack and it didn't seem like this trainer and company were going to hold back any. She j-just wanted to protect her home like a proud kingdra would do! What was wrong with that? Who would stop the magikarp that lived in this pond from becoming easy prey for wingulls? Or stop the baby poliwags from wandering too far away?
"Horsea! Sea! Sea!" She squeaked in fear as the psychic waves began to consume what she had left of energy. Her struggling was futile though and, ultimately, unconsciousness took her. "....sea."
Horsea was hit by confusion! Horsea was hit by confusion! Horsea fainted! Valentina gains two levels. Capture? No more pokémon can be spawned.

As the smoke cleared further, Rikard was able to acknowledge the pokemon had stopped struggling, instead going completely still in the water. 'Sorry little one...you did attack us first.' Retrieving a pokeball from his rucksack, Rikard reluctantly caught the little seahorse pokemon after giving it a thorough analysis via his pokedex. 'I will make sure to work with this one a lot. She seems to have potential.' The final evolution of "Horsea" was part dragon type, something Rikard greatly wanted.
"Good job, 'Tina." The psychic pokemon looked up to her trainer with a stark smile, jumping around in utter glee. "You made some new friends today. They may not have been too keen of the idea, but we'll work on it." Gothita made a subtle frown, though ultimately she seemed to remain ecstatic about the situation—she had done a good job. Rikard even showed this by picking Gothita up and carrying her towards the next town.
"You can stay out of your pokeball until we get to the pokemon center. You earned it." Making his way towards Oldale Town, it wouldn't be long after that when he trekked inside the pokemon center located in Petalburg City. It would be a fairly long walk, but he had his pokemon with him to enjoy the good weather. They were both in need of rest.
