Despite a few small setbacks, Drill Run is learned!

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

Juliet's Hidden Power
Dex + Fight + Perform
Base power: 2
Type: Psychic (gets STAB!)
This attack deals a small amount of damage and lets Juliet take on the role of a friend or foe. Juliet can now assist Nathan (or another character) on a skill that the target Pokemon is good at. The next relevant roll made by Juliet or an ally will have +2 dice. 
An offensively-oriented Pokemon could add +2 dice on a damage roll, a Porygon could add +2 on Computers, a defensive Pokemon could add +2 Evasion. It's Nathan's choice as long as it's justifiable. 
Juliet can only bank one skill at a time, but she can store it indefinitely. It's not limited to one Scene.

Whoo, that roll was cutting it close...wouldn't have made it if I hadn't leveled up Nathan's Move Tutoring, either.  Dang.  I guess Swiftfire was just so excited to learn the move that she was having trouble executing it properly.  Now she's able to use her horn like a drill, though, and potentially also able to use it to dig through some surfaces!  Great!  Oh, the fun she'll have with that move...

Oh, and Swiftfire's Pay Day also generates another weekly $1000 for Nathan since she's been in his party for most of the week!  Cha-ching!

Ooh, that's an interesting Hidden Power...so many potential applications both in and out of battle...I love it.  Can't wait to use it!

So, Nathan still has to pick out a team for the day!  Let's see here...

- Gallade (Clamperl Pearl)
- Calam (Sitrus Berry)
- Swiftfire (Leftovers)
- Starmie (Mystic Water)
- Charmeleon (Eviolite)
- Grid (ElectrIzer)

(I'm only half done updating sheets, unfortunately.  Had to go to work before I could finish doing so.  I'll finish that up a bit later!)

He's bringing his best because he intends to try facing Angela today!  She should be in Area 6 of the Safari Zone since it's Thursday, and he doesn't want to miss an opportunity to battle her for that badge!  And finding her shouldn't be too hard...from what he knows of her training habits, the pokemon she collects, and Mizu's reaction to her, he thinks he has an idea of what type she trains...which means even if Nathan doesn't find Angela on his own, Calam's presence might draw the attention of one of her pokemon or a pokemon that Angela might be interested in capturing.

It only costs $250 per encounter to get into the Safari Zone with a Gathering Permit that doesn't allow for capturing pokemon, right?
