Right, so it's been a while since I posted, because I caught a Shelmet and a Karrablast, and I wanted to evolve them, but apparently you can't go online on Gen V games anymore - or at least, I had a lot of trouble with it - so I was **** out of luck, until I got a hold of a friend of mine, who has kinda stopped playing Pokémon, but luckily had his DS and his copy of Pokémon White lying around, and we were able to evolve my newly found Shelmet and Karrablast. Woo!

Oh right, and before that, I got to Nimbasa City after some training and beat Elesa. I don't even remember who got me through the Gym, but I'm guessing Scolipede, because she has Dig. Outside Driftveil, I caught my Shelmet and my Karrablast. After evolving them, I caught a Joltik, too! I then grinded for a bit and challenged Clay. Accelgor sweeped his entire gym, mainly because I wanted the experience. In the battle against Clay, though, Accelgor was taken out by his Excadrill. And so were Escavalier and Scolipede, until I finally sent out Leavanny to take care of business. And that's it, I won! Then I won the Driftveil Tournament, and that's all up until now.

Here's my current team:

Leavanny, lv. 35 @ Miracle Seed
Male // Jolly // Swarm
- Razor Leaf
- Protect
- Bug Bite
- Return

Scolipede, lv. 35 @ Soft Sand
Female // Adamant // Swarm
- Bug Bite

Crustle, lv. 35 @ Leftovers
Male // Jolly // Sturdy

- Slash

Joltik, lv. 31 @ Exp. Share
Female // Timid // Compoundeyes
- Struggle Bug
- Electroweb

After clearing the Driftveil Tournament at the PWT, I trained for a bit and then made it through Chargestone Cave - where Joltik evolved! When we got out of Chargestone Cave, I trained for a little bit more and then took on Skyla. Galvantula completely destroyed her. Skarmory was a bit of a pain because of Sturdy, but Galvantula and Accelgor pulled off a nice Volt Switch + U-Turn combo and took it down fairly easily.

Then we got on Skyla's plane and flew to that tiny, awesome desert town. Trained yet again for a bit with Bianca in Reversal Mountain before moving on through a few more towns and finally being able to take on Drake. His gym trainers were exp. fodder for Escavalier, but Crustle ended up taking the big man himself down. His Druddigon didn't have much to take out Crustle, so I was able to set up with two Shell Smashes, so at +4 Speed and +4 Attack, Crustle completely wiped the floor with his precious dragons. And that's all up until now! Oh yeah, and I also spent way too much time at the PWT earning BP for the TM for Hidden Power, because Accelgor's Hidden Power is Dragon-type, but when I got it, it turns out that the power of Accelgor's HP has to be around, like, 30 or 40, so I dropped it and spent my BP on the TM for Swords Dance instead. Almost all of my Pokémon learn it leveling up anyway, so that turned out to be kind of a waste of time. Anyway, here's my current team:

Crustle, lv. 50 @ Leftovers
Male // Jolly // Sturdy
- X-Scissor
- Faint Attack
- Rock Slide
- Shell Smash

Escavalier, lv. 48 @ Metal Coat
Male // Relaxed // Swarm
- Swords Dance
- X-Scissor
- Return
- Iron Head

Galvantula, lv. 48 @ Magnet
Female // Timid // Compoundeyes
- Signal Beam
- Thunder
- Volt Switch
- Sucker Punch

Accelgor, lv. 48 @ Big Root
Male // Timid // Hydration
- U-Turn
- Venoshock
- Bug Buzz
- Giga Drain

Scolipede, lv. 48 @ Soft Sand
Female // Adamant // Swarm
- X-Scissor
- Aqua Tail
- Swords Dance
- Dig

Leavanny, lv. 48 @ Miracle Seed
Male // Jolly // Swarm
- Leaf Blade
- Shadow Claw
- X-Scissor
- Swords Dance

Notes: I defeated Clement in the Lumiose city gym for my 5th badge. i went back to route 13 to try and catch a slugma using rock smash. 30 mins lter i finally got one! switched slugma in for simisear because when slugma evolves it will have the part rock. im trying to get pokemon with all different second types, cuz when all of them have to be part fire i have to try and find as many different second types as i can to have some diversity. i beat serena although her stupid greninja ko'd 4 of my pokemon, gets me every time. im curently working my way through route 14. lso i noticed that my team is getting super jacked, i have many powerful pokemon.
