There is an obvious concern for Derek's pokemon, which even he can witness. Little gestures, like the turning of the head in the direction of his fallen Victreebel. They're juggling, trying to keep everything from sinking. Some trainers might tunnel vision, or simply ignore the other trainers fallen pokemon. But it seemed Greyson, no, his Loppuny seemed to shoulder the responsibility for having knocked it out. It brought a smile to Derek's features.
But he expected this, seeing as it was another gym leader's pokemon.
Although that momentary smile didn't exactly last. The HYPER VOICE that struck the Pangoro also caused Derek to flinch and reach for his ears, causing him to fall out of the tree he was in. Groans of pain were evident, though fortunately for him, nothing seemed broken.
It takes him a moment to get himself upright, though it seems the wild Pangoro is familiar with Derek. The sudden ruckus the gym leader made caused it to snap out of it's frenzied state. "Get out of here, will ya?" A casual remark made while rubbing the sore side of his back, the Pangoro seems to obey.
Not because of any fear or respect, but because he's been bringing it and some of the other pokemon food. Stuff they can't get a hold of out in the woods. To it, Derek is some kind of mealtime santa. It didn't want to be put on the naughty list.
"That was eventful, to say the least..." Derek sighs as he approaches the Lopunny, feeling as though it were to blame for him falling. He never expected it to be able to do such a thing. Still, it ranked pretty high on his list of exciting things he got to do as a gym leader.
"I guess this is what getting old feels like." Rummaging through his pockets with an obvious hunch, Derek secures a case and looks to his fellow gym leader. "Not quite how I planned for this to go, though. But I need some ice on this, like, yesterday."
The latch on the metal container, when opened, would reveal the finite badge to it's new owner. Derek, on the other hand, would be collecting his Victreebel with a pokeball before releasing his Corviknight to fly him back to the gym.
tl;dr
pangoro: 0 of 3 greyson: 2 of 3 (+2 derek's favor) wild pangoro flees the scene greyson and lopunny are rewarded the finite badge
