It is now Day 65.

Weather is reported to be mild all across the region.

The Zigzagoon are out and about in Cress City, pursuing tasks important only to themselves.

Seeing those Zigzagoon through his room's window reminds Nathan of something: he still has to return the Relic Stone Shard to Tanuki.

He also wamts to battle her today.

But first, Nathan has something he needs to do...

He fetches Orthros from the PC and has a quick chat with him, Rhea, and Gallade in the privacy of his room.

It's time to teach them all the Rock Smash HM.

-----------

To Orthros, he simply explains it's a very powerful move.  He has complete faith in that his doggy will use it responsibly.

To Rhea, he talks about how they got the HM, and about Captain Bridge.  He thinks Rhea will have an extra appreciation for the HM because of how and where it was found.

And Gallade...well, no explanations are needed.  Just assurances that everything will be fine.  Besides, today's the day he learns his first Fighting move!  Ooh, how exciting!

--------------------

Assuming nothing needs his attention before he gets there, Nathan's first stop for the day is definitely Tanuki's gym to see if she's hanging around there this morning.

She's outside, nailing new shingles onto the roof of her Gym. A Zigzagoon is holding nails in its mouth for her. 

"Hello, Nathan! Be right with you...you can wait inside if you want. Fifteen minutes while I get to a good stopping place."

She comes in and meets you with another greeting. "So, how was your trip into Mt. Sentry?"
