Today was kinda fun, although not a huge amount happened… Sort of.
Water MonoType Challenge #4
I slashed through the barricade of trees guarding the Eterna Building, and slid through the doors, hopefully unnoticed. I wasn't, a grunt ran up to me, and began talking. It turned out, it was Looker in disguise. I really thought he was a Galactic grunt… After battling a few grunts, I began to learn their fighting style, and the fights became easier and easier. I soon hit the top of the building, and met another higher member of TG. Saturn or something, but she was threatening to steal the Pokémon of Eterna City. Not if I could help it.
Shellos vs. Zubat
Another one? It was more of a problem than I thought it would be, but Shellos did her best. I started off with a RainDance to give Shellos a boost. Afterwards, I repeated WaterPulse, which eventually subdued the Poison-Type.
Psyduck vs. Skuntank
I swapped out Shellos for Psyduck, to give Shellos a good rest. Stunky began to use Poison gas, but to my surprise Psyduck was faster with a WaterPulse. Fortunately PoisonGas missed, so I countered with Disable, I couldn't risk Psyduck being poisoned since I have nothing to cure it with. I tested Skuntank's defences with a FurySwipes, which did more damage than expected. But WaterPulse did more damage, so a repeated WaterPulse took it down with minimal effort.
Soon Saturn ran off, leaving the Pokémon she'd kidnapped to hurry back home. Another man who'd been held captive said to meet him at the BikeShop for a reward for saving him. I was hesitant at first, but he seemed grateful. I headed there and the man gave me my very own bike (Anyone else see that coming?) Anyway, I headed south across the bike path, fighting the occasional Trainer. Until I jumped off, and went east, at which I came across a cave. Mt. Coronet, a hotspot for magnetic activity. I thought about catching a Nosepass, but passed, they're so damn rare!
Eventually I came to HeartHome city, at which a Buneary came bounding at me and knocked me over. Its trainer soon came and apologized, and I heard her mention that she worked at the Contest hall. I thought I could check it out, and ran into someone I didn't expect to see. My mom!
Turns out she was taking a small vacation here, but I was kind of annoyed that she beat me to Hearthome. But I guess that it was all the training I had been doing! After a little training, I took the Hearthome Gym, which specialises in Ghost-Types. Bibarel would excel here, due to its part Normal typing, so I began with my other Pokémon, and saved Bibarel for her strongest Pokémon.
Shellos vs. Duskull
I tried the same tactic with Saturn's Zubat. Set up RainDance, and then spam WaterPulse. It worked with minimal injuries.
Shellos vs. Mismagius
This was short lived; two Magical leaves with a WaterPulse in the middle took Shellos out of the fight.
Prinplup vs. Mismagius
I hadn't used Prinplup in a while, and the lack of training showed. I pulled off a couple of Bubblebeams, lowering the foes speed (And health) to a pitiful level, but a final Magical Leaf took out Prinplup
Bibarel vs. Mismagis
Take a guess what happened here, nope. I didn't use Rollout; I went for a WaterGun which took out the weakened Mismagius.
Bibarel vs. Haunter
This wasn't too difficult. The only moves that Haunter used were ShadowBall and SuckerPunch, so I used DefenseCurl repeatedly, making SuckerPunch painfully weak. After a couple of Rollouts, it was down.
I left soon after, with my shiny new Relic Badge. I healed up, then ran into my rival Ike, and I was thrown straight into a battle…
Shellos vs. Staravia
Staravia was overly speedy, added to the overuse of DoubleTeam made it a powerful foe. But another RainDance, WaterPulse made decent work of it, but the evasiveness was too much, making Shellos fall to another hit.
Psyduck vs. Staravia
If only Psyduck could fly… Anyway, another WaterPulse took it down (I use WaterPulse too much, don't I?)
Prinplup vs. Grotle
Déjà vu, much? Anyway, a couple of Pecks later and Grotle was down, even if it did cause some decent damage against Prinplup
Prinplup vs. Ponyta
Prinplup vs. Buizel
This was a little arkward, as the foe repeated Pursuit. I followed up with a Bide, but was taken out before it was countered.
Psyduck vs. Buizel
Confusion, need I say more?
He ran off in the same state he started off as, and I continued east. Running into a couple of trainers, I met a Fisherman, who leant me his GoodRod. I took my chance and began fishing, but to no avail. I fished for hours (Minutes), but found nothing more than a couple of Magikarp. I went north, into a quaint little spot called Solaceon Town. But much like Floroma, there was little of interest here. Except for a Defog HM which I managed to grab.
I continued north, fighting a ton of trainers, and something very unexpected. An evolution, Shellos this time, and I was overjoyed about my new Gastrodon.
At this point I'm very nearly at Veilstone, my next Gym stop. And I'm expect one hell of a fight, but I have Psyduck, my resident Psycho!

Much the same, except Bubblebeam was used, and Prinplup kept most of its health.
