Sentry is a lot calmer and more contemplative than usual while in the Grove, and calmly accepts Rock Smash. Before, she was overeager to learn that move. Witnessing the Pledge definitely touched her protective nature, and Sentry gains one point of Loyalty and one point of Happiness. Now she will be obedient!

Sentry tends to think more like a Rock Type in some ways, so she's not disappointed about not learning a Pledge. She'll probably be more excited about Rock Smash when she realizes it's relevant to a situation.

Yes!  Yes yes yes!  Finally!  Nathan gives Sentry a very appreciative hug, very glad his trust isn't likely to have been misplaced.  It was a little bit of a gamble, but it was worth it!  "Thanks girl.  That takes a lot of the worry away."  If he can handle Sentry, maybe he can handle an Onix after all...that's going to be harder, obviously, but maybe, just maybe...

Of course, that doesn't lessen the significance of any of the Pledges the other Grass types Nathan has brought have made.  They're just as important, too.  "I probably won't be able to bring all of you to the battle with Deoxys, but knowing you guys will both stand with me and lead me should I go astray...it's comforting.  Again, thank you, all of you.  Let's continue to do our best, for both now and the future."

Nathan stands off to the side now with all of his pokemon, carefully examining the flowers he received, muttering/thinking to himself all the while.  "...two Pledges down...hmmm..." He's also making sure to keep an eye on Dedenne. They'll get to their experiment soon enough...hopefully they'll have time tomorrow...
