Jason started to panic as he was pulled back towards the bottom, and when he turned his head to see who his attacker was, he stared into two red, glowing eyes.
It was a Tentacruel.
Jason struggled to get loose, but the tentacles grip hardened, and suddenly he felt a strong pain in his left foot.
He bit his lips, trying desperately to break free. But the Tentacruel didn't let go of him.
He couldn't breathe, and darkness slowly took control over him.
And in that very moment, when he thought that everything was over, and when he thought that he never would see light again, his saviour arrived.
He spotted something dragon-like in front of him, tackling the Tentacruel with enormous power.
The moment after, a sharp lightbeam lit up the water, and Tentacruel lost its grip around Jasons feets.
Jason managed to release Mudkip from its Pokéball, and he grabbed the little water-pokémon and hoped that it would be strong enough to carry him to the surface.
And then darkness came.
............................................................................ .........................................................
He woke up on a beach, and the sun smiled towards him.
He got up on his feets, but he felt dizzy and exhausted when he recalled Mudkip into its Pokéball.
Slowly he started to walk along the beach, hoping to find a city nearby.
After almost half an hour, he reached a big city, and he stumbled through the Poké Centers doors.
He felt a burning pain in his foot, and the last thing he saw before he fainted was Carries pretty face...

When he woke up, he saw Carrie again, sitting next to him, holding his hand.
"I'm glad that you're alive, Jason" she said, smiling towards him. He could see a tear falling down her cheek. "When I lost you in the water, I thought you were gone forever..."
Jason took a deep breath.
"You have been poisoned by a Tentacruel" she said, and now Jason could see Teddyursa, sitting on a chair next to him, eating honey.
"The poison will give you high fever for almost two days, but you will be on your feets in the end of the week."
"Ricky?" Jason asked.
Carrie shook her head.
"I don't know."
"The second time in two weeks" Jason said, letting out a sigh. "I'm getting tired of these hospitals."
"Don't worry, Jason. I'll try to keep you out of danger from now on. But I must admit, our escape from SS. Pearl were brilliant. We could make a movie when we grow old..."
Jason smiled.
"Where are we?"
"Rhaia Island, 18 kilometres from Hushido. We'll travel there as soon as you regain your health."

When the posion finally left Jasons body, he could feel nothing but relief as he stepped out from the hospital.
They boarded the ferry by noon, and the trip wouldn't take more than fifteen minutes.
Jason felt better than ever when he stood on deck, letting the wind fill his hair.
Teddyursa sat on his shoulder, carefully watching the Poliwags that swimmed beside the ferry.
They were only a kilometer from Hushidos harbour, when the ferry started to shake.
"A sea-quake?" someone asked.
Jason bit his lips. A second later, a tentacle swooped over the deck, taking several of the passengers with it into the water.
"Watch out, Carrie!" Jason shouted, grabbing his Pokéballs. "It's the Tentacruel again!"
He threw his Pokéballs and his four Pokémon materialized on deck. The other trainers released their Pokémon too, and the fight begun as the giant Tentacruel rised over the surface.
Jason couldn't say a word.
Twenty Pokémon attacked the giant Tentacruel, but it didn't seem to take any damage at all.
An inferno of thunderbolts, embers, water guns and razor leafs hit Tentacruel, but the giant octopuss refused to give up.
Just when the battle seemed lost, Jasons guardian angel appeared again.
The white dragon released a hyper beam, which knocked the Tentacruel unconscious.
When the Tentacruel disappeared under the surface, the dragon followed it, and the people on deck cheered.
"It happened again, Carrie!" Jason said, recalling his Pokémon. "That dragon saved me before too!"
A few minutes later, they entered Hushido Citys harbour, where a large crowd had gathered, still staring out in the ocean with amazed looks on their faces.
"Haven't they seen a Tentacruel before?" Jason asked as he made his way through the crowd with Teddyursa on his shoulder.
"Well, I'm sure they have" Carrie replied. "But not a giant one..."
