The first round of battles were led my Nema and Morelet. Nema’s speed and wide range of attacks paired with Morelet’s bulk and strong jaw made for a fearsome duo.
They had so far torn through the first four battles without having to ask Marigold- or the absolute last resort, Kappa- to switch in. However-
Nema was hit square in the chest by a super effective Mud Bomb, sending her skidding across the train car to Kappa’s feet.
[Kappa]
“Sweet Arceus-! Nema!”
Kappa swept up Nema with shaking arms and hurriedly sprayed her straight in the face with a Super Potion, making her sputter.
[Nema]
“Guh... Tag out.” Nema coughed. She raised her arm and high-fived Marigold, allowing her to switch out of the battle.
Nema tried to wiggle away from Kappa’s iron grip, but Kappa refused to let her go. Nema looked up at her quizzically. Kappa was looking down at Nema with teary red eyes, clearly worried for her.
‘Ah, frick. I was battling so much I forgot about Kappa’s fear,’ She thought.
“I’m okay, friendo.” She said, in a calm voice, hoping to soothe her friend. “It’s just one ground move, I can handle it.”
Nema reached down to rub Kappa’s forearm. Kappa sighed.
[Kappa]
“Sorry. I don’t... mean to be so anxious.”
[Nema]
“Oh, I know you don’t. I appreciate it, but we’ve got this. No need for you to worry.” Nema patted Kappa’s arm. “We won’t let you battle.” Nema was cut off from saying anything else due to a gutteral scream from Morelet.
Marigold removed their hoof from the poor Gastrdon’s side and turned to Nema and Kappa.
[Marigold]
“Okay, we have a break before the next battle, so let’s heal up so we aren’t a complete mess?”
