Love in the Clouds!

-Named myself "wave" and changed the battle style to "Set," as usual for me.
-Chose Tepig as "The Gift," being the only starter I've never chosen up to this gen. Appropriate since it literally came in a gift box from Professor Juniper, and I think its ears look kinda like a gift wrap ribbon. =P Named him "Cadeau" to reflect his role in this challenge.
-Did all the beginning stuff that's probably not much different from any other run.
-Beat Bianca and gained access to Striaton City.
-The battle with Cheren in the school was pretty tough; I had to use two Potions, I believe.
-Took the free Pansage to teach Cut to later.
-In the Striaton Gym, I lost to the waitress because of derpiness during Bide... >_<
-However, Cress wasn't too bad. Flame Charge against Lillipup allowed Cadeau to outspeed Panpour. Two Tail Whips and two Tackles and it went down. I think I used a Potion during that battle. Anyways, with that, we won the Trio Badge! :D

-The Dreamyard stuff came next. After beating the Plasma Grunts, I stayed behind a bit to catch "The Pink," a Munna. I didn't have to wait long until Magenta, the Munna, joined the party.
-Next, we cleared Route 3 and did the Plasma stuff there. Cadeau evolved into a Pignite sometime during the trainer-clearing. I can't really remember the Cheren battle here.
-We reach Nacrene City and head west to the outer Pinwheel Forest area. After clearing the trainers, Cadeau took a piece off of the Challenge Rock just because.
-Wait, I hear rustling grass! We made our way to it, hoping to encounter a male Audino as "The Attraction." And it was... a Sawk!? ¬_¬ Troll. A while later, another patch of grass calls out to us, and we carefully made our way over to it... A male Audino! Passion joins our team as "The Attraction."
-After a bit of grinding with Audino, trying to catch him up at least a bit, we decide to go face N at the museum. So we do that, and he wasn't much of a problem.
-In the Nacrene Gym, Passion learned Attract! Objective down. And I found it pretty useful in this gym too. ^-^
-The battle with Lenora was actually quite easy, though it could've gone a bit smoother. Attract didn't help with her Herdier since she was such an aggressive lover... ¬_¬ Cadeau came in and finished it off though. Her Watchog started with a deadly Retaliate, but Cadeau survived with yellow HP. Flame Charge raised his Speed, allowing him to strike first with an Arm Thrust next turn, ending the battle and earning us the Basic Badge. Yay!
-Team Plasma steals the Dragon Skull.

-Chased down Team Plasma in Pinwheel Forest and got back the Dragon Skull. While doing this, I caught Sydian, the female Petilil as "The Valentine" after a surprising amount of searching! And... that makes three pokémon with a Brave nature... ¬_¬ Yeah, not a great nature for my party.
-Crossed the Skyarrow Bridge and reached Castelia City just before dusk. Did my usual city and Route 4 exploration before taking on the Battle Company and Team Plasma. I found that Basculin (from the desert fishermen) give an incredible amount of experience, so it wasn't difficult to catch Sydian up to the rest of the team at all.
-Next up was Burgh in the Castelia Gym. This was actually a simple battle from what I can remember. Magenta (Munna) took down Whirlipede and I think Dwebble too (if not, she brought it down quite a bit). Cadeau (Pignite) took care of the rest. And so we won the Insect Badge.

-Bianca was easy and Cheren wasn't that much harder.
-Explored the rest of the desert, including the Desert Resort. Here, Pear the male Maractus (as in prickly pear; also bonus for sounding like "pair" :P) joined the party as "The Flower" (after losing one Maractus to a crit D:<)!
-Picked up the Cover Fossil in the Relic Castle.
-Went to Nimbasa and got a Bike. Explored the city, as well as Anville Town, and later entered Magenta in the "Forest Stroll" Musical and got... second. >_< I'm don't think it was wise choosing Munna as "The Pink," due to its body type. I tried again, entering her in "A Sweet Soirée" this time... and won first (top hat, black bow-tie, pink ribbon, and glasses)! :O Musical objective complete! :)
-Cleared the routes around Nimbasa and returned to Nacrene to revive Tirtouga. Taught it Strength and moved the boulders near Accumula Town and Nimbasa City. Also explored the newly-opened area in Pinwheel Forest.
-Entered the amusement park. Ferris wheel scene with N and stuff... The battle with N wasn't too bad, but Sigilyph was a bit problematic. Cotton Spore was kinda helpful against it though.
-Nimbasa Gym wasn't hard at all. I was strangely overleveled, even without extra purposeful grinding in this update. I thought Elesa's battle was fun. ^-^ Passion (Audino) just spammed Secret Power against her Volt Switching Emolga (and one Attract on her female one), and she ended up using two Hyper Potions on her female one. Until I got a lucky paralysis with Secret Power and a crit sometime. One hit Zebstrika on the switch-in from Volt Switch. I returned for Cadeau, who proceeded to take two Sparks, putting him in the red. However, this activated Blaze, so Flame Charge finished off Zebstrika and allowed him to outspeed the male Emolga she had left, earning us the Bolt Badge!
