While Nathan was thankful for the warnings that Normal-types were useless he didn't understand how that was possible. Worse yet was the fact that he had no idea on how to fight the Bidoof, unlike the Charmander he couldn't even use an impromptu mad-slap because of his lack of hands.

He briefly considered that he could at least block attacks but he didn't know if he could even take one more without fainting or dying. Eventually he decided that the best he could do was stay out of everyone's way. So he tried to sneak back into the cave without the impossible Ghost-type noting him.
