"It's some kind of ghost, slug thing," Ashwood said, eyes locked on the squirming creature. Their body was tense, ready to strike. "You can't see it. Only Celeste, Brisa, Starr and I could. The people who were able to fight the Magikarp. It came out of Turf."

Ashwood watched as Starr struck Turf and that thing crawled out of her. Oh god. Move. They couldn't just stand there, they had to move. They looked from the collapsed Turf to the crawling, slug-like creature. Come on come on come on they were supposed to be a hero. "Surf, get your sister,"...
