Toadette continued swiming away from the freaky Antasma, who was determined to control Toadette's fears and turn them real. As Toadette left the Cheep Cheep Beach behind and approached the northern edge of the Palm Shore, she resurfaced, running onto the sandy coast as Antasma slowly rose out of the water.
"You can run, but you can't hide!" Antasma exclaimed as he laughed evilly, summoing a horde of dark purple bats that swarmed all over Toadette.
Toadette screamed as she tried getting the bats away from her, glaring at Antasma. "You are a creep! Seriously!" She barked back.
"Call me whatever you want," Antasma laughed as he chucked dark energy balls at Toadette. "But it matters none to me! I shall corrupt you!" He continued to laugh evilly.
