Nathan lets out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. "...that's more than I can ever seem to get from Shiva and Ventus. Thank you, Terra." Gallade returns to leaning up against the wall for the time being.
Nathan puts away the Unpolished Sablenite again. Without a strongly bonded Sableye, it's not worth much of anything. With one, it's a treasure worth more than anything anyone could possibly offer...funny how that works, isn't it?
"...wish it was always this 'easy'...*sigh*...well, I guess we're just waiting for Shiva to start that...meeting now, aren't we?"
I'll leave whether Terra heard that quieter part up to the man himself. Gallade doesn't seem particularly concerned right now, but he is shooting Nathan a...curious look for some indiscernible reason. Hmmm...
The mountainous man simply gives the clever trainer a wane smile, and nods his head. Phobia towards Sableye or not, he wasn't going let it get in the way or impede his fledging friendship, no matter how much the mere thought of one potentially lurking in their party unnerved him. He would just.....learn to cope and/or adapt to this the best he can, and that was
that. No interparty conflict over a Pokémon this time! Hooray!
Terra did in fact hear what Nathan was mumbling, but he decided to wisely not to bring it up, and instead addressed their main comment. Dense as he could be, after his conversation with the boy last night, he knew what they were referencing, and that topic was
almost as sensitive to them as his fear of Sableye was to him. While he was more accepting of his boss and his lady's.....distaste, Nathan....wasn't, so in his opinion it was for the best to leave Sleeping Dragons lie....
"Hm....yes. …Have you though of what you want to do with the Bulba yet? Keep them, or give them to professor?"
Might as well bring it up, since they'd had plenty of time to dwell on the subject while the rugged wanderer was flying back to Cress with Genie! Beats sitting around in silence!

Nathan shrugs. "...I've got them on hand, though, so might as well meet them properly now, I suppose. Hopefully shouldn't cause any trouble, given we didn't directly harm it or anything...just had Nurse Joy take care of the Paralysis real quick, so he should be right as rain now."
Not much more needs to be said here.Â
Nathan lets Primal Bulbasaur out in a corner of the room to see how he's initially reacting to being captured in a less aggressive manner (as far as the actual battle went, anyways). Gallade's watching carefully, but he's hanging back and relaxing if there's no immediate threat. (don't expect there to be any problems with P-Bulba misbehaving since he has 2/2/2 for Happiness/Loyalty/Disobedience, but it doesn't hurt to have at least a little backup, right?)
(BTW,
, how much exp did Juliet, Grid, Nathan, and Terra get for capturing P-Bulba? I don't remember that being stated anywhere)
Terra remains in his seat as P-Bulba is released, but he's also keeping an eye on them too like Gallade. Right now he isn't to concerned they'll be trouble, but he's ready to send out Shiranui (if there's room for him) or Mikey (If there isn't) to pacify them if they decide to throw a fit.

Sucker Punch 1
(6)(2)(5)(1)(5)(1)(6)(1)
(3) Yep, Vaporeon tanks it!
Rock Smash 1
(4)(2)(6)(6)(2)(6)(2)
(3)(5)(2)(4) Spinda takes 3 dmg and faints.
"Huh...I actually thought you'd push your Vaporeon to be a little faster, but it certainly worked for you! It's down to our last Pokemon, and your Vaporeon has a leg up! That's great!"
Vaporeon gains 1hp 8/8
When Tanuki's Spinda suddenly winded up and gave her waterly Eeveelution a slap for daring to come close to her for a well-placed Rock Smash, Shiva instantly and intuitively averted her gaze in worry, but as Vaporeon let out a confident cry that could translated with 'Nope, can't hit me!!' and directly SMASHED that Spinda with her mermaid tail, Shiva couldn't help but to smile; even chuckle to herself over that scenery. Seeing Vaporeon making a huffing noise over having defeated that troublesome foe at last only increased it.... She felt carefully hopeful again.
"Thank you, Vaporeon. Well done....
Really, well done. The more I see from dear you, the
more thankful and lucky I feel that we met there in the swamp. Keep it up like that, and great things can be expected from you...."
Looking over to Tanuki, Shiva needed a moment to realize that she...complimented her for her actions, it went directly to her heart where it allured more thankfulness. Before she replied, she respectfully bowed to the Normal Gym Leader, hope and anticipitation running through her. "Th...thank you! ^//^ I haven't trained Vaporeon much yet, not enough so far for her to learn a precious priority-move. I'm on it though... And I'm sorry for having fainted your cute Spinda." This feels like quite an accomplishment actually, but Shiva didn't spoke that out.
"Well, eh, let me see your last Pokemon then please! Ready for another battle decided by you, Vaporeon?~"
------------
I'm having hope again to make it though this battle, but it highly depends what Tanuki's sending out. Excitement!!
Vaporeon's scored 12 in Initiative and is having a base Speed of 65.

P-Bulbasaur is actually very calm right now, once captured. He's acting a little proud, like Quetzoral did. He quickly clambers up onto something high, like a bed, and looks slightly downward at you all. Still calm. When either one of you gazes back, he opens up his geode for your viewing pleasure.Â
2XP for each Pokemon and trainer.
Tanuki has more Dex so she auto-wins initiative ties. Only if Dex is a tie do I move on to base speed.
Tanuki sends out one of her Zigzagoon! This one has extra long claws, which it immediately uses to run straight up one of the tubes.
(2) + 8 = 10, Vaporeon still goes first.

Nathan chuckles at that. Â This P-Bulbasaur knows he's something special, and he's going to make sure everyone else knows, too.
"Well, you're handling this well. Have a few questions for you, if you don't mind. Â Have you known Flash for your whole life? Â And how do you like the sound of the name Ray?" Â (relating to his numerous light based abilities)

Nod, nod.
"Alright, Ray it is. Â And you've really known Flash your whole life? Â
You didn't learn it from a machine or something?"

Nod. Really!
Nathan is positive this is the legendary strength move though.
