Nathan can only stare as Cottonee squints, doing everything it can to help Ralts avoid taking more hits than necessary despite its awkward static cling. That was not at all what he expected to happen...Nurse Joy clearly knew what she was doing, and two newbie trainers weren't likely to beat her without struggling a great deal...
With Cottonee floating around wildly, it looks like that cover isn't going to be that effective, and Ralts is in the middle of the field with nothing effective to defend himself with. Nathan tenses up, getting ready to rush in if Ralts faints. It's a tension that isn't likely to subside until the battle is over. Despite not wanting to put Ralts in more danger, he knows he can't just concede this battle. Whether they fail or succeed, it will be on their own skills and failings as trainers, and there wouldn't be any growth from giving up now.
Though Ralts is clearly in pain, he understands that emotion immediately. Understanding or not though, the only thing Ralts can do that might be of any help right now would be to continue using Growl and hope it works. Unless...no, that would be too convenient. Ralts suddenly using Confusion after learning it mid battle would be too much to hope for...
'If Ralts knew Confusion, this would be way easier...then again, so would having more than one pokemon...gah, being a trainer is NOT easy, and we've barely even begun...I sure hope the others are doing okay against those Ekans...'
Ralts senses the resolve and worry coming from Nathan getting even stronger in almost equal measure. Not wanting to disappoint Nathan in their first battle, Ralts decides on his own to put everything he can into this next Growl.
Nathan
Action: Tense up in preparation to run into the middle of the battlefield. If Ralts faints, run into the middle of the battlefield to catch and cover him (and likely end the battle too). Lasts until it resolves, the battle is over, or Cottonee and Ralts get an advantage over their opponents.
Ralts
Action: Growl with all his might to lower the damage taken further (spend one Will Point to add 1 success to the accuracy of Growl. Will fail if the dice pool is 0 or Ralts is KOed before acting)
Accuracy: 3 dex + 0 fight + 0 canalize/contest
Effect: Lower all opponents' strength by 1.
Pain Penalization: -2 (half health)
