- I got Cut from Cynthia and taught it to Twiggy.
- After beating up all the trainers around the city, I challenged the gym.
Man, this was tough, I lost several times, always because of Beav losing to Roserade before he was able to fire a Hyper Fang at her, and Lola wasn't able to take up the slack. Finally, after getting Beav closer to L25, she was able to grow to L25 during the battle, and was able to outspeed a Magical Leaf to put a hurt on Roserade with Hyper Fang. After the Sitrus Berry and a Magical Leaf, Lola was able to finish Roserade off with Frustration.
- After getting the badge, I could Cut now, so I explored the Old Chateau in Eterna Forest.
- Then I went to the Glactic Eterna Building to save the Bike Shop owner's Pokemon.
- Took care of Jupiter without any trouble and picked up a Bike and an Upgrade.
- Got the egg from Cynthia, and went up and down Cycling Road a few times until it hatched.
- Named the Togepi Ace and gave him the Exp. Share I just got.
- At Mt. Coronet's entrance, Lucas gave me the VS Seeker and Dowsing Machine.
- Went to Hearthome City, and after exploring Acuity Square (Amulet Coin FTW!), I went to the Contest Hall.
- After taking to Mom and her friend, I decided to take a Normal Cool Contest with Lola (Jump Kick, Quick Attack).
- I won!
- After Lola preened for the crowd, I challenged the gym full of Ghost-types.
This was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Beav took out Duskull with 3 Rollout turns, and he missed twice with Will-O-Wisp (lucky!). Mismagus took arounf half of Beav's HP with Magical Leaf, then was OHKOed by the fourth Rollout. n Haunter came out and didn't stand a chance against the fifth Rollout. Beav Rolled to a sweep!
- On my way to Solacean Town, Joe was waiting for me.
Rollout took out Starvaria, Roselia, and Monferno, then Hyper Fang took out Buizel, who was the only one to damage Beav with Quick Attack.
- Made a short visit to Solaceon Town, when headed up north to catch Lickitung on Rt. 215.
- Took forever, but I finally found one. Caught her and named her Linda.
- Ran back through Mt. Coronet to train in Wayward Cave.
- Did the secret one first and got Earthquake. Taught it to Linda (only one who can learn it).
- Found Mira in the main Wayward Cave and started leading her out, which is when I saved.
