Gym Leader Dagny vs Nathan Final Round!

Starmie comes out shining, blasting its gemlight to reflect off all the steel!

Dagny has less dice, and you can see she is waiting to order just one optimal attack, same as Nathan. But Starmie and Nathan are faster.

Excadrill faints! Dagny recalls him and descends back into her chair. She makes sure to tend to her Pokemon. "I'll be with you in a moment, Nathan."
Out comes an array of healing items, which her Magnemite carefully place, ready for her to administer as efficiently as possible. In no time, her Pokemon are stable and resting. She loads them up on a summoned Metagross and off they go.

"Now. Congratulations, Nathan! You should know by now that I don't hold back. The Pokemon I've chosen were perfectly matched to your skill, and used what I thought were their optimum strategies. I saw that steely glint of the will to battle in your eyes. You deserve this win!"



She places a yellow disc in your hand. It looks a bit like a biscuit of shiny holographic sand, with streaks of light steel blue.

"This is the Ankerite badge. It makes Pokemon sturdier (Vitality 0.5). Fewer trainers have won it than have won Zamboni's badge. You should be proud. And not just for what happened in this battle. Never cease to go as far as you can go."

Nathan earns 22XP for his Pokemon, and 11 for himself.

"You earn this as well." She gives you $800 and three silver Pokeballs.
"These are Steel Balls. They're normally only as effective as a red Poke Ball, but they only break in extreme situations. That makes them quite re-usable. As an added bonus, they are equivalent to a Great Ball against Steel-type Pokemon."

"I am sure we'll end up working together again. Have you given thought to what gym you will challenge next?"
