Gym Leader Angela vs Nathan Round 3

There's a quick flash of light as Angela punches the sky! One of her jewels shines in response, and Gardevoir becomes Mega Gardevoir!

She's now going first.

Charizard is rolling very well with his damage. Time for Gardevoir to try her hand at it.

Nathan laughs.  Somehow, he's not surprised.  He and Gallade both had a feeling that Angela was super close to her Gardevoir.  Close enough for Mega Evolution.

That, and Charizard did just a biiiiiit more than soften the ballroom dancer up, amazingly. He really has proven just how strong he is...from clutch crits to consistently maximum damage, he's easily been the star of this gym battle!

It's not over yet, though. Nathan holds up an Ultra Ball.  "So, you beat Grid, my pokemon most oriented to taking advantage of our speed.  You beat Charizard, one of my strongest pokemon in terms of brute force.  Now, you'll face my fastest pokemon!  Prepare yourself, for we intend to win this!"

He throws the Ultra Ball, and Calam appears on the battlefield! Normally, a Dark type would be a terrible choice for facing a Fairy type Gym Leader. But THIS time, it makes perfect sense!

For this Fairy should be very, very afraid of the Dark, and the (moon)light shining within it. Type advantages have meant very little to Nathan in this battle, ironically.

If Calam rolls a 4 or higher on the initiative, he's going first due to his massive +13 initiative bonus!
