Marill's mouth becomes an o after the display of Moonlight!

Nice.  So, I imagine that Lethal damage is very much not  allowed in the tournament, right?

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

Seeing how impressed Marill is with Calam's Fairy moves, Nathan chuckles.  "Yup, it amazes me whenever I see it, too.  It's quite something, knowing that all pokemon have that kind of potential..."

He smiles as he reminisces, then kneels down to look at Marill, looking thoughtful while he does so.

"....hmmm...alright, tell ya what: You want to use moves that cool and powerful looking one day?  I could help ya with that if ya want.  Might be a lot of hard work, but you look like a hard worker to me.  What do ya say, Marill?"

You've already laid the groundwork for this proposition, and Marill is not a grumpy (or well-traveled) Pokemon, so this already has a good chance to work.

Marill shies away a bit at the mention of so much hard work.
