Spoiler

When you produce the Safari Ball, Seismitoad holds up a hand and shakes his head. He wants to wait until the battle ends. He feels he could still win this.

That encounter was worth 8Xp.

There are also Palpitoad in this muddy pool. If you wanted to catch one without battling it, that could be part of this same Encounter, or you could come back tomorrow.

Obviously, Terra would respect Big Toad's desire to continue Fighting until the end, and so would nod back and stow away the Safari Ball. He's nice and honorable like that!

When the warty toad easily dodged Pixie with a grin he almost frowned, but instead he shook his head and chuckled as he welcomed his newest partner with a handshake (being mindful of the claws, of course).

"Good fight, Big Toad. You did well against Pixie, even with her great Defense. Welcome to our team, partner."

The aforementioned ironclad sidhe rolled her eyes and let out a small huff at her partner praising the bulbous bullfrog effort into beating her up, but in the end she just shrugs it off and walks up to Seismitoad to give him a toothy grin and pat on his leg. Much as she and her new bruises liked to disagree, the big lug was right about it being a fine battle, so she's more than accepting of being the towering toad's partner. Just no more Mudshots, or you'll (Seismi) get the Super Fang, got it?

Upon being capture, Terra sends Seismitoad back to his PC, and decides to go catch Palpitoad if its willing to come along peacefully. He'll most likely give this froggie to one of his friends, as a good Water/Ground type is not something that should be sold willy nilly!

Since it's the end of the day, the sagely monk will follow Geo (How's he holding up from Giga Whiscash, btw?) to a safe location to camp, and have Angie (Who given quite a good rubbing for handling G.W. with relative ease) dig out a burrow similar to the one set up last night for everyone to rest in, with her guarding the top too. 

It is during camp that Duskull also gets sent out to have his injuries checked over, before they're given a pat on the head and a friendly yet apologetic smile from him.

"Thank you, Duskull. For.....putting your trust in me, and giving your all to help stop Big Whiscash. Couldn't have done it without you. *Glances away* ......Sorry about threatening too. Didn't like or want to, but.......could not afford you acting out. *Frowns gravely* Not up against a Whiscash. Can you......forgive me? "
