"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.

Heart put a hand in his shoulder. "I can relate with that feeling Nats. In the little Cup Koa has lost to a Chansey. And back in that time, he was more obedient. We are in the same boat my friend. But dont let that depress you. There will better battles from now on. You have captured some cool Pokemon with you. Not only that but you have also captured a Delta Parasect and a Shiny Dratini. Talking about making me jealous, heh. Not that I can complain since I got a Delta Pikachu, a Exeggcute and a Gligar."

"The last its not that rare, but they have they use. I already have a Razor Claw, so I can have a fully evolved Gliscor, with is very much awesome. And Exeggcute have access to Sleep Powder. Not the most accurate move, but at least have better accuracy than Hypnosys. No offense Gallade, you are still the most awesome Telepathic fighter I ever know. Remind me to let Rose have a spar with you."

"Also, I migh need to buy a Flinch item too...that Razor Claw helped me quite a lot in Flinch foes with successive attacks like Heracross...want to help me with some info where I can buy one Nathan? You are the smart guy in Cheshire. I just the enciclopedia guy in Pokemon."

"I also pretty tired, so I might take tomorrow to take a full day of rest. After our many adventures, I didnt have a proper chance to sleep very much well. I also think in make some Berry Milkshake later before sleep. Is you and Gallade interested in drink too?"

"...maybe, but I was really hoping to do better than I did..."

Since it's semi on topic, Mizu's not really paying much attention to Heart either.  She gives him a curious glance much like the one she gave Spira, then goes back to minding her own business.

Gallade shrugs non-chalantly when Heart refers to him.  He has ways to make Hypnosis work.  When Heart mentions sparring with Rose, Gallade simply nods, but there's a hidden determination underneath that stoic facade.  Next time he and Rose meet on the battlefield, he'll be ready.

Nathan's response to Heart's ramblings about the pokemon he's caught and the Razor Fang: "...well, Exeggcute aren't exactly super rare either, to be honest...but yes, they do have some good debuffs.  If you're looking to evolve that Gligar but still have a similar hold item to use, I actually do know of a place where you might be able to get one without too much trouble..."

Nathan digs through his bag and eventually pulls out a fang of some kind to show to Heart.

"Genuine Houndoom Fang," he explains.  "Or, as the salesman called it at the Violet Tent in Cress, a 'Fang of Houndoom's Rage'.  If Orthros's fascination with it is any indication, though, it's definitely the real deal.  Cost me a pretty penny, though.  $2000 for one of 'em.  Same salesman also has Dragon Fangs for $4000 apiece, and Dragon Scales for $3000 each.  Pricey, but they're definitely what the salesman says they are...even if there are some little...embellishments concerning a few details here and there.  Anyways, as far as I can tell from my own usage of the item, it has the exact same effect as holding a Razor Fang or King's Rock."

As for the milkshake offer...Nathan takes a deep breath, then slowly lets it out.  "...yeah, that might actually be kinda nice if you have the materials on hand to make one.  We'll be in the Center later.  Got a lot of plans to make and notes to review...just don't put any Chesto Berries in it.  I'd rather not be up all night."

"It's not an acronym. It's ALL CAPS to gain attention! But it symbolizes the fight against those who want to only use certain strains of Pokemon, and the fight against habitat destruction - particularly for rare Pokemon. We take in donations, host battles and shows, and research safer Pokeballs."

"...that's an...interesting choice of name to try and get the point across...it sounds like a helpful organization, though..."

Nathan thinks for a moment...looks at Gallade, who's also pondering something...

Gallade nods, and then Nathan turns back to Gene to do the same.

"...alright, you've got yourselves a deal.  Might even work more closely with ya guys on some things if this goes well.  If you really aim to do what ya say and help promote giving all pokemon a chance, then I'll have no qualms with backing ya.  I do have one request, though: could ya also potentially print some shirts with different pokemon pictured for me?  I wouldn't mind wearing ones with Delta Parasect on them, but some variety would be nice."

"Sure. We'll get a few Parasect printed tonight, and you can bring any other Pokemon you want me to print. Here's my card!"

We can flashback to the details of this.



In the Safari Zone with the guide's help and your Pokemon's help, you don't encounter anything overnight. Before you sleep, Geo will ask if there are any nighttime or morning Pokemon you might want to chase - Venonat, Hoothoot, Girafarig, Oddish, Wobbuffet, Cubone. Bug types and reptiles are easier to avoid during these times too. If not, you'll be ready for your first encounter by 7am.



It is now Day 72.

It really feels like summer out today - Sunny Weather will be in effect all day. Teazel Valley is filled with people wandering around carrying giant Safari Zone pokedolls.

(To make things more quick, lets just say Heart make the milkshake and send to Gallade and Nathan. He also say something about get some money later to buy the Dragon Fang and the Houndoom Fang in the future.)

Heart was pretty much tired. After so many battles and travels though time and space, Heart finally, finally have a moment to have a well deserved rest.

Heart basically will not participate of the encounters in-game and it will instead focus in rest and recover the Will Points he spend though the adventure. Is this acceptable @Iron? That way too everyone will not be more delayed with Heart encounters.

Yep, you can earn one or two back like that. And you can still do any kind of easy thing - crafting, talking to people, even a training session.

Well, in that case just a quick training session. Since its a Sunny Day, its a perfect opportunity for Rose some of her Fire Moves. Heart also decide to let Netune and Gustav once again train together (since by now, they pratically buddy buddies in training session). Netune might see Gustav as a teacher upon this moment. "Alright then. Rose, you need to work a bit of your new fire moves, since despite having rest, you still need to get strong. Gustav, you still need to teach Netune about his Water Power side so he can become stronger. You was a Water/Groun once, so you may have experience with that."

After that training session Heart make a change on his team too:

Lairon, Meowth, D-Pineco, Ambipom, Hypno and Delta Geodude. And after that training session, Heart return to have a sleep.
