"Gooaaalll!" Danielle had yelled as Lady crashed into the ground. She was quite ecstatic after that victory, and Kristen's seething anger was a good cherry on top. "That was great Za---" Of course, she was interrupted as Kristen ordered her new Skrelp to use Water Pulse. "Dodge that by going into a hole!" She quickly commanded. Danielle knew there was a small chance for him to make an impact before he went down. And she doubt he would want to go down yet.
Unlike his now-hyper trainer, Zared's attention was focused on his opponent's side of the field the whole time. He was ready to dive out of the way as soon as the Skrelp was sent out and, as a result, he managed to gather the last of his energy and scrambled into a nearby hole to avoid the Water Pulse. "Zared? Can you keep going?" 'Of course! I"m not going down that easily!' Instead of his usual, triumphant cry, however, his eyes began to water. As he climbed out of the hole, he began to sniffle, letting the tears fall down to his cheeks and towards the ground.
'Fake Tears?' Danielle instantly turned onto Kristen, giving a seemingly angry look. "Hey, chill out! I was about to recall Zared so that he could get some rest! Now look what you did! You made my Pokemon cry!" As if to confirm her "suspicions," Zared's sniffling turned into outright crying; he was clutching his scratched up horn and showing the Skrelp what Lady did to him.
