Safari Cup - Heart 3 Round 5

This battle would definitely take place in the air, with the two Pokemon exchanging blows.

Slash 1
(5)(5)(5)(3)(3)(2) (2)(2) Just shy of a critical
(3)(2)(4)(3) Pidgeot takes 1 dmg 7/8hp

Wing Attack 1
(6)(1)(2)(4)(4)(3) (5) Also almost a critical. These two aerial combatants are not holding back any conceivable effort!
5 Str + 2 power +1 stab + 1 sharp beak = 4d6
(5)(6)(4)(3) Gligar takes 3 dmg 5/8hp -1 pain

Though Pidgeot is much bigger, Gligar has significantly more toughness training.

Slash 2
(5)(5)(2)(3)(5)(3)
(2)(4)(5)(6) Pidgeot takes 3 dmg 4/8hp Pain irrelevant

Wing Attack 2
(4)(2)(4)(2)(4)(1)
(3)(6)(6)9) Gligar takes  dmg 3/8hp -2 pain

Slash 3
(5)(6)(1)(1)
(2)(1)(3)(6) Pidgeot takes 1 dmg 3/8hp

The two are very evenly matched. Pidgeot's Keen Eye is giving him a bit of an advantage.

Wing Attack 3
(4)(1)(1)(3)(5) Indeed, that Keen Eye turns a miss into a near miss at the last second.
(6)(6)(2)() Gligar takes 2 dmg 1/8hp -3 pain

I think it's reasonable for Heart to assume a Quick Attack is coming!

Quick Attack 4
(5)(3)
(6)(6)(1) Pidgeot takes 2 dmg 1/8hp

Quick Attack 4 - The Gentleman spends a Will point to ensure it hits! His face is turning beet red, not from anger but from over-excitement.
(4)(1)(3)(5) (6*)
(4)(6)(6) Gligar faints.

That was an extraordinarily close battle! Exeggcute gains 8XP for beating the Lairon.

The Gentleman actually begins crying. He's obviously never gotten this far in any competition before.

His joy is short-lived when Anaster, his silver hair and golden jewelry contrasting, swaggers over to the Gentleman for a handshake. This is the man even Angela didn't want to battle in the Safari Cup.

"Congratulations to Heart for making it into the top 8 in this Safari Cup! We had an unusually large field of entrants this year, so that's a fantastic achievement! Come on up and get your Safari Doll."

Heart sigh in the end of the battle. Not a sigh of annoying or something like that. But more like a one with exaustation but a one of satisfation for doing his best to go foward in the battle. He aproach the Gentleman and shake his hand. "Thank you for the battle gentleman. It was a amazing battle. I really wanted to win, but I am satisfied with the results to. If we face next time though you really going to see the real strengh of my team."

Heart then aproach to take the Safari Doll. What is the effects of that Safari Doll @Iron?

After the battle end, he aproach at the crowd to find a certain person. When he see, he wave his hand towards Nathan/@Dragonstrike. "Heya. How things is going buddy? Mine is okay. Didnt win the Cup but I get a good battle."

You can deploy a Safari Doll to guarantee escape from a wild Pokemon. It'll attack the doll instead. They also sell for about $1000 to a collector, since you can really only get them in the Cup. This model, anyway.

The Safari Dolls are randomly assigned. 
Heart gets a Nidorino, one designed to emphasize the rabbitness of the Pokemon rather than its poison.
Spira gets Girafarig.
Nathan gets Dratini. It's long enough to wrap around his neck.
