Ursaring got us through Route 216 and 217, but it was pretty tough with all the hail buffeting him.
As we reached Acuity Lakefront he had grown to level 60.
Douche was waiting for us there, but told us we'd need to beat the Snowpoint Gym Leader to climb the rock wall.
We headed over to Snowpoint after grinding Metang up to a level 45 Metagross so his attack would finally top his defense.
First we hit the Pokecenter so I could take Golem out of my party. He just can't get the job done most of the time.
The gym's puzzle was frustrating at first but then we got it down.
Metagross defeated all of the trainers and took out all of Candice's pokemon but Bullet Punch, earning us the Icicle Badge.
Team:
Level 60 Ursaring (Snargles)
Level 57 Torterra
Level 51 Shiny Metagross
Going to grind Metagross a little more to get him up with the other two before I head out to Lake Acuity.
Well, I guess since no one else has posted since my last one I have to edit this one with the new stuff.
Went to Lake Acuity for no reason apparently then flew back to Veilstone.
We healed up and headed up to the Galactic Building, but Looker stopped us and told us to go to the warehouse.
Looker met us in the warehouse and unlocked the door for us. He told us to lay low, as he ran full force into the Galactic headquarters. Idiot.
Long story short, we destroyed everyone there.
After a long dungeon crawl we fought Cyrus. Metagross kicked all of his pokemon's asses, because I was still training him.
We also fought Commander Saturn (I think?) and then freed Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie, three very unneeded legendaries.
Cyrus said he was going to Mt. Coronet so we followed him.
After like an hour of more boring dungeon crawling, we met him at the top.
Douche and I disposed of Commander Mars and Commander Jupiter easily.
After Dialga and Palkia were summoned, Giratina opened a portal from the Distortion World.
Cyrus went into the Distortion World, then Cynthia showed up and we went in too.
As we traversed the Distortion World I was thinking "Whoa, this place is awesome."
Then I got to the strength rock puzzle thing and went "Nevermind."
Eventually we found Cyrus again and I kicked his ass for a third (and hopefully final) time.
I caught Giratina and we got the hell out of there.
We flew back to Sandgem to visit Professor Rowan and Dawn.
Rowan told us to go to Sunnyshore City for our last badge, so that's what we did.
We also killed all the trainers along the way. Woohoo.
At Sunnyshore City, I bought tons of seals and put some on Metagross' and Ursarings' Ball Capsules.
Leader Volkner was being lame at the top of the lighthouse, so we made him go back to the gym.
After defeating all of the trainers in the gym, we fought Volkner.
Ursaring killed all of his pokemon using Close Combat and Thrash, earning us the final badge.
Outside on the shore, Jasmine gave us HM07 Waterfall for some reason that I don't understand.
We surfed north, destroying trainers along the way and finally reached Victory Road.
We healed up, and I saved and quit for the night.
Team:
Level 68 Ursaring (Snargles)
Level 60 Torterra
Level 65 Shiny Metagross
Next update will most likely be going through Victory Road, defeating the Elite Four and Champion, and getting the National Dex.
