A wild Sableye tried to sneak up on the girl all shadowily, but was intercepted by Meatloaf, who Intimidated the little prankster of a ghost with his imposing presence.

The gem-eyed gremlin put its hands up in surrender, as if saying 'Relax, bro, it was just a prank', before running away in fear.

Not all nocturnal critters wanted to jump them. Some were perfectly content minding their own business.

Nearby, a wild Pawniard practiced its cutting technique on a bunch of small shrubs. It would be rude to interrupt its training regimen.

"We're almost there, Meatloaf. Let's keep going." The girl whispered to her draconic bodyguard.

Andrea's eyes had adjusted well enough to the dimness of the night to see her family's ranch in the far-off distance. There was one last obstacle standing in the way, namely a wild Krokorok.

This crocodile could not be Intimidated, for it had moxie. It also had swagger. Now Meatloaf was hurting himself in confusion. The reptilian ruffian then leered and honed its claws, prepping for an attack that never came.

"Does it have no damage-dealing moves?" The PokéManiac pondered with a puzzled expression. After snapping out of it, Meatloaf struck the delinquent lizard with a powerful Return, nearly knocking it out.

"Pokéball, go!" The trainer of dragons took it upon herself to teach that sand gator some REAL moves.
