When a battle starts, the Pokémon on the top left of your party Pokémon will appear first. If you win
the battle, each Pokémon that participated in the battle will receive a share of the Experience Points (see
page 13). However, if all your Pokémon faint, you will lose the battle, lose some of your money, and
be returned to the last Pokémon Center you used.
