Final Update for Grass UMC!

Final Update (#5) on Black.

Journal:

Spoiler:

• Postgame, here we come.
• The first thing I did was catch I Dratini with the Super Rod and evolve it into Dragonite for an HM Slave.
• Then I caught Puncher the Shroomish for my final team member.
• Grinding went slowly. Normally I try to get everyone to around L70, but I didn't this time cause I wanted to finish it.
• Anyway, after getting everyone to L65, I beat Cheren in Victory Road (team effort), Morimoto in Castelia City (near sweep by Majesty with a Coil setup, Pokey finished off Simisage), and finally Cynthia, which was a sweep by Watchman (Swords Dance x3, and outsped everyone but Garchomp, who missed with Stone Edge).
• Used a few Rare Candies, then took on the Elite Four. No one gave me any real trouble.
• Alder was up next, and I did lose once (damn Vanilluxe and Blizzard), but the second time around I pushed through thanks to a Blizzard miss (and a Max Revive) to win!
• Here's the Alder play-by-play:
