(...) She [Shiva]'s not quite sure whether it's more of a good idea or a bad idea to let Angela know that she knows Spira herself. Can't be kept secret forever though, maybe??

I was thinking she already realized you knew Spira since you sat together, but I can retcon that particular detail if you wanted to try to hide it. Angela doesn't seem mad at you, but with your Insight you sense that she might try to tease Spira about it.

Oh, if Angela already noticed herself that Shiva and Spira are familiar with one another then there's no need to recton it, I'm fine if the gym-leading fae enthusiast knows that they're acquainted. Teasing's very fine!~

At latest once Shiva playfully returns Spira's two-fingered salute-styled wave she'll known.

Safari Cup - Nathan 3 Round 2

Knockdown 1
(4)(3)(6)(1)(4)(4)(1)
(1)
Poliwrath takes -1 accuracy. He flails a little in the water. Mizu keeps swimming around, creating a tiny whirlpool current to keep him off balance.

Poliwrath is a little angry and Harris is egging it on. He feels too debuffed to try Hypnosis again.

Body Slam 1
13 dice -4 debuffs -3 actions = 6d6
(2)(2)(3)(4)(1)(3)
(5)(4)(4) Dratini takes 3 dmg 6/10hp -1 pain

Wrap 2
(6)(1)(1)(3) Miss!

Body Slam 2
(5)(4)(1)(3)(3)
(1)(5)(4) Dratini takes 2 dmg 4/10hp -2 pain

Dragon Rage 3
(2)(1)(3)(5)
Poliwrath takes 2 dmg 8/12hp -1 pain

Body Slam 3
(5)(2)(4)(6)
(1)(4)(5) Dratini takes 2 dmg 2/10hp -1 pain

Dragon Rage 4
(3)(1)(5)
Poliwrath takes 2 dmg 6/12hp -2 pain

Shed Skin: (6)(1)(1) Paralysis was healed.

Dratini is looking a little the worse for wear, but she's still bravely fighting on. She's certainly given Poliwrath a lot of trouble, which he still hasn't been able to solve. He's one tough bulky frog.

Spira is slurping from a canned soda, and once he notices Angela the usual gleam in his dark blue eyes comes back. "Hi there nice to see you aga-*belch*-in. Pardon me. You're still strung up over that Chansey I see." He then does a two-fingered salute-styled wave at Shiva, but doesn't say anything to her for the moment, and goes back to watching the matches and drinking his soda. The matches that he's mainly keeping an eye on are Heart and Nathan's.

Angela sticks her tongue out at him, a little mad that it was so obvious.
"Hmmph! I have more great Pokemon at age 24 than you'll see in a lifetime. And 1925 called, it wants its fashion sense back."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Ayyyyeeee! Shiva's very torn between both Angela and Spira and watching the ongoing matches, and soon becomes nervous and insecure. Laughing at Angela's comment would be rude, not laughing would be too to a degree, she can't help but to grin a little though - it's neat to see how quick at repartee Angela is! "My, please don't.... start to argue here in the crowd, that's not a good place nor a good time for that now! >o<; One can still, eh... breed Chanseys?"

Raphael, still soaring through the open sky in complete and unrestrained freedom, doesn't miss that spark in negative energy flaring up and elegantly glides down towards the three, he lightfootedly lands beside Angela. Ruffling his purely white feather coat a bit he starts to coo calmly and softly in eager to tone things a bit down. 'No fighting as long as me, the benelovent archangel, is present please!' he seems to nonverbally say.

"Not easily. It's hard to breed Chansey in captivity OR in the wild. Of course, I have many Fairy types, which have the best chance..."

Dratini is looking a little the worse for wear, but she's still bravely fighting on. She's certainly given Poliwrath a lot of trouble, which he still hasn't been able to solve. He's one tough bulky frog.

Alright, new question, but this one isn't related to the battle much at all: is the skin that Mizu sheds when her Ability triggers in battle worth anything monetarily or as a potential crafting material?

Nathan eyes that Poliwrath carefully...hmmm...that didn't quite go how he wanted it too...Mizu's a lot faster now, though, and that Poliwrath is going to struggle to do much of anything without getting back up again...if he can just get the Fisherman to switch before he sends in his next pokemon...

Mizu's panting a little while Nathan's thinking.  This is why she exactly why tended to avoid the bigger aquatic pokemon in her home.  She just wasn't strong enough to beat them before they could beat her...admittedly, though, she's doing a lot better than she usually does whenever they end up fighting her, and she's even a little surprised herself.  Maybe Wrap was a bad idea while she was Paralyzed, though.  At least she managed to dissuade him from trying Hypnosis again, though!  Hah!

Nathan decides to gamble on something.

"Mizu, see if you can outlast him.  We're faster.  If we can outlast him, we can win this matchup."

We'll have 4 Actions this Round.  If Poliwrath attacks, Mizu will attempt to Evade it.  If Poliwrath is out of actions or gets back up, she'll Dragon Rage.

Evade: 13 - 2 Pain - 4/5/6/7 = 7/6/5/4 D6

Dragon Rage
Acc: 7/6/5/4 D6
Dmg: still 2

This is her best shot at winning this matchup since Poli got lucky on those damage rolls: exploiting her greater speed since she's no longer Paralyzed!  Let's see if she can pull it off...

Safari Cup - Heart 2 Round 3

(Awesome! Time to make some preparations for the next fight)

Heart bow in respect to his adversary. "Thank you for the great battle my friend. You a honor battler, and I hope we may find each other in the future."

First of all, Heart decide to use a Hurtloam to revive Teen Kagaskan, since he have a feeling he migh need her help in the future. "Nurse, could you please do a heal on Exeggcute and Kangas? I might need them later."

Heart also think for a second whats gonna be the next Pokemon. "Hmm, if I recall he have a Lairon with him...despite I having a Gligar, he dont know any Ground Moves. Guess I have to do in the old fashioned way: Do neutral damage and hope for the best. Exeggcute, go!" Then Heart bring again Exeggcute. "Sorry to bring you again buddy, but I kinda need your help here."

"Not easily. It's hard to breed Chansey in captivity OR in the wild. Of course, I have many Fairy types, which have the best chance..."

Oh booh. That naturally raises Spira's new Chansey's value by 100% in Shiva's view. :o And it makes her more nervous over the situation! "I... is that so? Sorry, this must have slipped my mind...", she meekly speaks up before lighting up in an instant, happy to change the topic at least bit. "Sounds good! What could in theory be a good partner for a Chansey to your guess then? ...Whimsicott? My much beloved fluffball's female herself unfortunately. Audino maybe? Aromatisse possibly? Or no, wait: Musharna! That one's not a fairy though, ah...."
