Carvanha and Parasect are kind of on different zones, but they both want to use close range moves, so that suits everyone just fine!

Nathan gains 2XP and Mizu gains 2XP, but this battle did not go in Nathan's favor!

Harris comes over and hands you a Revive. "Here. For your Dratini. What a beautiful creature. I'm sorry your Pokemon's disobedience cost you the match, but I wanted you to know I appreciate the show of two very rare and unique Pokemon. There's a lot of buzz about you, you know."

Nathan sighs and takes the Revive.  "Thanks.  I'm sure she'll appreciate that.  I'll have to work on Delta Parasect's Disobedience later.  I told it that it should work on its strategies earlier today already, and now that's cost it two battles it should have by all rights won...maybe I should have just used one of the Doduo I'd caught again..."

Welp, to the spectator stands Nathan goes.  I already have an idea of what kind of pokedoll I want Nathan to get, at least.  *sigh*...I was really banking on placing in the top 4...what a way to finish...

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

By the time Nathan's gotten to the gatehouse, he's used that Revive on Mizu, who's curled around Nathan.  Delta Parasect has been handed over to Nurse Joy for treatment, and he's swapped his team around to what it was just before the tournament (Gallade, Mizu, Swiftfire, Calam, Solomon, and Grid. I'll rearrange all the hold items and stuff on the character sheet).  Gallade's already in the gatehouse though, of course, and Belle and Trampe have his pokeball at the moment, so Nathan makes his way over to them first and foremost.

...or he at least tries to.  There's probably still a lot of attention directed at him, I imagine...
