After the punch, Nidoran collapsed...but it was still awoke, if not on the edge of consciousness. Gray tilted his head, a crease appearing on his forehead as he stared at the two Pokémon. The Riolu must have been swimming in pure luck, to be able to use Endure three times in a row. With a snort, he leaped from the trees, landing nimbly on the ground. He walked beside the two Pokémon, only sparing the Riolu a glance, before crouching beside Nidoran. Sure enough, the Pokémon was on the verge of fainting.

He picked the Nidoran up in his arms, giving his opponent a glance of acknowledgement, before turning on his heel and taking another step down the path. The battle was a tie, and it was certainly interesting.
