Back with another Platinum Update!
I finally passed through Iron Island and claimed my Riolu Egg from Riley, (after a rather strenuous battle against two Ace Trainers after their Lopunny managed to take out Riley's Lucario... -.-;; ) then heading on over to the Canalave Gym to take on Byron. By this time, I was really starting to get into the swing of things with my team, save for the fact that I had one missing while I got through the Gym, so I could keep my Egg with me for those vital steps. (I believe Luxray was the one who sat the Gym out)
Anyway, I took out all of the Gym Trainers again and more or less polished off Byron with just my Quagsire, who took out his Platinum Pokemon, Bastiodon. With that over, my rival cragged me to the Library where we met with Rowan, but the gathering was short-lived as an explosion rocked the ground. It was time for more Galactic Capers!
Heading over to Lake Valor, after a lengthy scene with Rowan and the others, I took down the Galactics on the lake's bottom and flattened Saturn with my Gardevoir. then headed home, healed up and took on Mars for a second time; this time, it was Glaceon who took out her Purugly. Defeated, the Galactics fled, having already accomplished their mission before my arrival. Darn!
Rowan stated that he was worried about my rival, to which I responded by heading on over to Snowpoint City for some Wintery fun... and of course, to see what my rival was up to. I actually enjoyed crossing the snowy landscape, whistling as I progressed, taking out the trainers as I went. Glaceon seemed to rather like the area too, taking on a few trainers in his own element, as opposed to the less-cold areas in the south.
Finally, I managed to reach Snowpoint City and I am currently just preparing myself for the Gym Battles that are ahead of me. Candice, here I come!
