Leyna didn't expect the Tentacruel to remain captured for long, but she was elated to see it lose its grip on the poor girls it had ensnared.<span style="color: blue">Quick! Run! Go!</span>She yelled frantically, then paused as she noticed an unusual sheen covering the water, a mist rolling from its surface as the temperature of the water dropped to freezing.<br/><br/>She looked on in confusion, even as the Tentacruel broke free from the Pokeball's brief constraint only to find itself trapped as the water froze around it. She didn't know why, and she didn't ask. It was buying them time, though unless the ice held it would be little more than a bothersome inconvenience for the Tentacruel, as those the Pokemon had grabbed were far too close to escape quickly, especially if they had to swim to shore first.<br/><br/>Leyna was frozen for a moment as she stared at the scene, fighting to figure out whether she should run or try to help them out of the Tentacruel's range, risking becoming its new victim if it broke free. She cursed how horrifically unprepared any of them were for this attack. If only they could hypnotize the damn thing while it was trapped and put it down long enough for them to get well clear, or if they had a lightning Pokemon to put enough hurt on the Tentacruel to get it to retreat - anything!<br/><br/>She hissed through her teeth in anger and frustration while her whole body trembled in fear of what she was about to do.<span style="color: blue">Damnit...</span>She breathed as she ran forward, back into the Tentacruel's range to help the girls out of the water.<i>This is stupid, this is stupid, this is stupid, this is stupid!</i>She kept saying to herself as she hit the water, moving quickly to grab the nearest person, a girl with white hair, and drag her back towards shore.<span style="color: blue">Come on!</span>She yelled as she did so.<br/><br/>She looked at the Tentacruel looming above her and felt, once again, the overwhelming urge to leave everyone in the cave to their own will and get out. Still, she had two more Pokeballs ready to stop the Tentacruel again, though she desperately hoped she wouldn't need them. Once they were gone, she would have next to nothing left for the adventure to come - if she could ever escape the cave.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
