Everyone who watched at least one match up to this point gains 8XP - you learned something from watching.

If you stick around to watch the top 4, you'll gain another 8XP.

So, the Top 4 are the Gentleman, Fisherman Harris, Anaster, and Scientist Menlough who studies Poison-types. I'm not going to roll it out because it doesn't affect the party, but judging by their dice pools and teams it would go like this:

4. Gentleman
3. Harris
2. Menlough
1. Anaster

Anaster wins a Dark-type Trapinch with a creepy forked tongue. Getting such a cool Pokemon actually seems to mellow him out a little bit.


Burt was eliminated early in the game for using a disobedient Scyther and too many weak bug-types. He was up against Anaster anyway.

Heart and Nathan are approached by promoters! "Hey you two! Amazing battles! I saw you both trained Delta Pokemon. And Nathan, that pink Dratini! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gene. I'm a scientist for an up-and-coming startup in Stair City. We call ourselves SPARE CHANGE, and our mission is to promote Pokemon diversity at every level! Would you be interested in wearing our T-shirts? We'll give you 14 shirts, printed up with our logo and Delta Parasect and Delta Pikachu. All you have to do is wear them in all your battles for the next 3 months, and we'll cover your entrance fee for the Safari Cup right now. At the end of the 3 months, we'll give you a bonus based on where we are and where you are!"

"I'll also give you my number and you can ask me for more work anytime. We have a small office now in every city with a Gym. Except Arrowroot, if that counts."


He didn't approach Spira because you are standoffish and lost early in the tournament, but if you want to try to broker a deal for yourself you're welcome to make the attempt. Same for Shiva, really.

Heart indeed stay to watch the remaining battles so he can understand a bit more battling. He watches the Top 4 to see what those 4 people can do. Heart raise a eyebrown when he see Anaster get a Dark-type Trapinch. "Aww. I really wanted that Trapinch. That kind hurt my pride as a rare Collector, but heh, that Anaster deserved the reward."

When Heart see the guy aproaching them, Heart think for a second and then say. "I think there is no problem with that. I was indeed in need to buy a few more shirts so I accept that. And I think D-Pikachu will might like see me wearing that. He have a...Poison mood to be honest though. But he will be shocked." Say Heart once again cracking a few puns. He grab one of the shirts and ask the guy. "Do you guys have in size G?"

"Ha! You're funny! I'll have to put that on one of the shirts. Something like... you'll be SHOCKED to see how good SPARE CHANGE is... I'll work on it."

I don't know what size G is but he has every size. He also gives you a shirt for Pikachu to wear. He'll have them printed up in an hour!

Thats remind me: How it is the situation of D-Pikachu? Is he better than before after the nurse treat him? And he think about the shirt?

Also, after the matches have ended and Heart have a moment alone, he aproach at the place he meet the two family Kangaskan. He take their Pokeballs and release of them. "Like I have promised, you two a free to go. Sorry for the problems I make you two go. But now you are free." Heart both of Kangaskan Pokeballs and with his fire powers, he burn those Safari Balls, until it became only ashes. "You two should be careful though. The Safari Zone is filled with all kinds of Trainers who will try to capture you once again. But I will not bother any of you two ever again. Have a safe life."

Heart also take back the Silk Scarf and Razor Claw.

A Pikachu is a Pikachu! They like playing dress up and they bounce back quickly from injury. Not as keen on puns, though.

The Kangas bound off, free! Maybe they'll be more wary of trainers in the future.

There are actually a few trainers releasing their Pokemon after the Cup, mostly just common fodder like Nidos and Pidges.
