Finally, we head off into Victory Road. Right after one last battle with Felix. It doesn't go very badly at all, so we heal up and march on. Running in we take quite a while to figure out the layout of the cave, missing our catches of an Onix and a Ditto (outside) but thats ok we've already gone this far and wont need anyone else.
Despite the time it took and a severe lack of insight on my part for stocking up on potions, we make it through just fine and alive. Everyone gets up to level 44, we buy like 30 Full Restores, and head off.
VS LORELEI
We already struggle, her Dewgong already roughing Blueberry up, but with some patience Blueberry switches and gets Cream out to electrocute them all. With a couple more swaps we struggle our way through.
VS BRUNO
Ok this was a freaking joke everyone died in one hit. Next pls m8
VS AGATHA
We only had a litrle trouble with her, mostly because she kept switching her Gengar in and out. But we got to Psychic and otherwise destroy her with a lot of our own switching.
VS LANCE
I don't think Im allowed to use the words I want to use here. First, we start off ok. No worse than before. Then, his first stupid Dragonair crit kills Cream with a Hyper Beam (seriously, does Hyper Beam even need a crit??). Then Blueberry gets the same treatment from the Aerodactyle. Then Latte against his next Dragonair. Then Banana at his Dragonite. Flambe barely manages to finish off his Dragonaire with a Quick Attack. Meaning we now only have two teammates to fight Felix with.
VS FELIX
We start out with Yew, who barely survives his Pidgeot, only to get a crit kill against his Alakazam. Flambe goes out to avenge her sister, but sadly gets taken out after a couple turns as well, almost defeating the Alakazam but ending with her hurting herself in sudden confusion from that turn.
So easily beaten.
Well, Ive been sadly listening to In The End and reflecting on this journey. What Ive learned is that Gen 1's crits are even more flawed than I realized, and that I should really level up before the League. Welp, I'm gunna go cry and probably redo that battle unofficially to feel better. But for now, Flare and her team are signing off.
