Pokemon Shield Day 7 thoughts and notes

We last left off with Lisa leveling up in preparation to storm the Rose Tower and hundreds upon hundreds of grunts that must be waiting for her in that massive tower... right?

• Chasing random grunt around the town square is annoying.
  
• Can we not do the whole "partner with the person who calls himself a rival but doesn't know what it actually entails" battles? Finishing off his Pokemon first each time isn't a challenge, but it is tedious.
  
• Also, a 1,000 foot tower and only three waves of grunts? Good going there, guys.
  
• Now I know why she keeps her eyes half shut most of the time. Her eyes get that crazy possessed look.

Oleana Battle:
Cinderace Lv71
Corviknight Lv71
Jolteon Lv71
Persian Lv71
Cloyster Lv71
Flygon Lv71

• So, just because I walk in, the chairman ends the conversation and lets Leon walk away? Something tells me he's not done yet and has some secret scheme. Of course, I'm not given the chance to hear Rose's side of the story.
  
• Next day it's the "finals" tournament, which is rather disappointing - it's the same Gym Leaders I've already beaten...

"Finals" Tournament Battles:
Cinderace Lv73
Corviknight Lv73
Jolteon Lv73
Persian Lv73
Cloyster Lv73
Flygon Lv73

The fights were in this order. Nobody put up much resistance against my team.

Bede
Nessa
Allister
Raihan

• Only thing of note is, Bede seemed kinda desperate. I worry about what old lady Opal is putting him through. Seems like the "retraining program" at USA Prime Credit.
  
  
• Okay, Leon, you're next, and... sometimes I hate being right, Rose takes over the broadcasting system and says something about ancient legendary Pokemon revival and stockpiling energy.
  
• This is what happens when you don't listen to your elders, Leon. They go crazy and attempt some insane stunt. Well, now it falls to me to stop the chairman.
  
• But apparently we have to head back to meet the disappearing wolf legendaries - or something like that. I don't really pay attention to legendary stuff - or anything where Hoppy is incessantly running his mouth. Regardless, we don;t actually battle them here, or attempt to capture them.
  
• Now, onto the boss man himself within his power plant - which is guarded by a grand total of zero grunts. Nice security there, buddy.

But he'll be in the next update, as the most important battles in this game probably merit their own update.
