"When she evolves she'll be a bit tougher. And people tend to underestimate Beldum's strength. Of course, he usually ends up KO'd at the end of the battle even if he takes down the enemy..."

The Shield Maiden looks around and spots a dead tree. "Scizor!" Scizor appears in a flash of Pokeball light. "Slice this tree into stumps for us to sit on, and make us some wood for a campfire. Then you can go for a joyflight if you wish."

That done, she takes a seat on the stump and lights a cheery fire even though it's daylight. She pulls out some taters and veggies and wraps them in foil to go on the coals. "Help yourself when they're done."

"Yeah, I'm aware she'll be quite a bit tougher later, though it could take awhile yet...grew up on a Ponyta Ranch, after all.  THE Ponyta Ranch, in fact: Warren Ranch.  Never ceases to amaze me how well my mom's done with the business...I kinda hope I can help Swiftfire become at least as strong as Bo's Rapidash someday..."

Nathan pulls out the fireproof brush again, and starts brushing Swiftfire down while waiting for the snacks to cook.  Swiftfire's feeling a little drained after that battle, so there's no visible complaints from her.  "You did well, girl.  Exactly what I needed you to do.  It didn't go as well as we'd have liked it to, but you still did a spectacular job.  We're going to just relax here for a little bit while we wait for the others, okay?"
