-Started game, randomly chose gender, got girl and named her Dawn
-Named the rival Kane, after the Egyptian mythology book series by Rick Riordan
-Picked Turtwig and won against Kane extremely easily, considering all he did was spam Leer the entire battle
-Went to Lake Verity with Kane, saw Cyrus for the first time
-Went to Sandgem, got Pokedex, named Turtwig Anput, after the goddess of the seventeenth Nome of Upper Egypt. Would have named it Geb after the god of the earth, but it was a girl
-Went through Lucas's tutorials, as well as got the Journal, Parcel, and Running Shoes
-Waited til nightime so that I could catch a Kricketot, named it Thoth after the god of wisdom and writing, since there's no Egyptian music god that I could find
-Went to Jubilife, met Looker, gave Kane the Parcel in the Trainer School and got the Town Map
-Spent some time south of Jubilife trying to level up Thoth (only attacking with Bide is so stupid)
-Beat Kane east of Jubilife after a couple of tries, and made my way to Oreburgh City while trying to train Thoth
-Found Roark in the Mine, and beat him at the gym on the first try using Anput
-IIRC Anput evolved into Grotle and Thoth evolved into Kricketune somewhere between Roark and Floroama, not completely sure
-Fought Team Galactic in Jubilife, caught Builder the Bidoof as an HM slave, taught him Rock Smash, and made my way to Floroama
-Fought Team Galactic in the Meadow and the Windworks, and beat Mars after a couple of tries (Kricketune is so much harder to use than I thought it was)
-Went north through Eterna Forest with Cheryl, and got to Eterna pretty quickly
-Saw the Pokemon statue and Cyrus with Kane, talked to Cynthia
-Sped through Eterna's gym with Thoth (I'm so glad I kept him from evolving for Bug Bite here), and beat Gardenia
-Taught Cut to Builder, sped through the Eterna Team Galactic Hideout, and beat Jupiter after a few tries
-Got the Bicycle, and got the egg from Cynthia
-Hatched the egg, got Shu the Togepi, and gave him the Soothe Bell (named after the god of wind, since he'll be a Flying type)
-Traveled from Eterna to Hearthome, attempting to train Shu along the way (Metronome is not a good attacking move)
-Taught Return to Shu, and started to see him wreck most anything not resistant to Normal
-Stopped Keira's Buneary, went to the Contest Hall, saw Johanna, got the Dress, and sent Fantina to the gym
-Went through the Hearthome Gym pretty slowly (freaking Confuse Ray and Hypnosis) and made it to Fantina
-Spent a while trying random strategies to take out Fantina without using my stock of items, and eventually beat her with mostly luck, and used my first non-Poke Ball and non-Berry item
-Beat Kane east of Hearthome after a couple tries (Double Team Staravia against a team not equipped to handle Flying at the moment is hell)
-Finally got Shu to evolve into Togetic
-Went to Solaceon, got Defog, climbed the Lost Tower, got to the top and released I needed to use Defog and thought you got Strength there, so I caught Air Slave the Golbat, taught him Defog, and went back up only to get the Spell and Cleanse Tags
-Made my way to Velistone, and went south to catch Khonsu the Girafarig (named after the god of the moon)
-Went through the Velistone gym and beat Maylene with very little trouble
-IIRC Anput evolved into Torterra sometime during the Velistone Gym, may be wrong
-Fought Team Galactic, got Lucas's Pokedex back (after his Clefairy used Metronome, got Self-Destruct, and knocked out Khonsu), got Fly, and taught it to Shu
-Went south to Pastoria City, and spent forever in the Great Marsh trying to catch a Skorupi, and caught Serqet the Skorupi (named after the goddess of scorpions)
-Fought Kane, and still had trouble because of that stupid Staravia
-Was expecting to sweep the Pastoria Gym with Anput, but instead took a couple tries because of that stupid Gyarados
-Dealt with Team Galactic, got the SecretPotion, used it on the Psyduck, and made my way to Celestic Town (while dealing with that really annoying fog)
-Spent a while trying to beat Cyrus, finally managed to beat him, and got Surf
-Went west of Hearthome, caught Water Slave the Bibarel, taught him Surf, and Surfed over to Canalave City
-Beat Kane with relative ease compared to the other battles
-Made my way to Iron Island, got Strength, teamed up with Riley, and grinded up until everyone was at least level 39 and Serqet evolved into Drapion (finally no more bug typing!)
-Beat Team Galactic in Iron Island, left Riley, got the Shiny Stone that I will eventually use on Shu, and entered the Canalave Gym
