the path runs parallel to a body of water, and dominic soon opts to release one of his pokemon, a tentacruel to provide the pokemon an opportunity to traverse the depths in search of anything of interest. the tentacruel's body seems to bleed into the water, the gelatinous mass a LIQUID OOZE on the surface before disappearing below the surface.

dominic follows the curvature of the makeshift path until he sees scuttling in the shadows. he gives a piercing whistle, prompting his tentacruel to rise from the water, surveying him for a moment before following his gaze to where the roggenrola trotted. a tentacle quickly lashes out and constricts around the wild pokemon's body. dominic regards the creature as it wriggled around, its little legs kicking at the air, and then tosses out an empty pokeball to secure it.
