Furret is moving at decent speed despite her mental "confusion". Krokorok follows, wading through the mud that slows her down.

She is still faster than the wounded croc!

Fire Fang 3, holds back? Obedience: (2) vs (1)(5) Nah, no holding back.

Charmeleon roars in triumph! Earlier he could not win against Steel type, now he is defeating a type he's vulnerable to!

Sand Tomb ends, I believe.

(Yup, no damage from Sand Tomb if Krokorok is no longer maintaining it)

Nathan levels a stare at the fire lizard.

"Good job, Charmeleon, but it's important to know when to withhold your fire as well.  That Krokorok wasn't going to KO you, and now you've irritated our nice opponent by not returning the favor and sticking to the terms we agreed to."

Nathan sighs and looks at Edgewalker.  "I'm very sorry about that, sir.  If you wish to make this a battle that allows fainting, I won't begrudge you for it."

Nathan nods to Rhea.  "Thank you for keeping Charmeleon covered while he keeps up the pressure."  Nathan looks at Charmeleon.  If it weren't for Rhea, Charmeleon might not be in this battle still, so he could show her at least a little thanks too.

Oh, and there's no switching on Nathan's end for the next round.  Who's next?

(Well, this is turning into an interesting chance for Charmeleon to potentially go through a little character development...)
