A Turn of Events

Continued from Aptarix Returns

Caterwaller dug it's claws into the tree's bark and leaped nimbly up. In a few minutes it would be high enough to jump out of the tree and grab the Aptarix.

"Go!" Ali shouted and pumped her fist in the air, cheering Caterwaller on.

The Aptarix saw the battle that knocked out its puppet, the Rhano. It also saw a Caterwaller climbing up a tree. No doubt those humans were trying to catch him. He dove down and looked Caterwaller straight in the eyes. Caterwaller started climbing down.

"Caterwaller, what are you doing!? We need to get Aptarix for Grandpa!" Ali had no idea Catterwaller was hypnotized. 

"Hmmmm..." Sara rubbed her chin, thinking. "We need something to block Aptarix's hypnotic move..."

"Wait!" Sam said "Your bracelet!" Sara looked down at her wrist. She wore a light green bracelet with a small metal plate in the middle. "See how it reflects?" Sam asked.

Sara looked at her exaggerated, upside down head in it's reflection, and smiled. "We don't even have to get to the treetops." Sara pumped her fist and turned it. The sun's refection flashed at Aptarix and he fell to the ground, blinded. Lightning walked around and rubbed on Aptarix, like all cats do, shocking the stunned Evol type into unconsciousness.

"We did it!" Sam said.
