Take a quick trip down Rt 42, acquire the Strength HM, and arrive in Mahogany Town, bypassing Mt. Mortar for now, then head down Rt 43 to the Lake of Rage, letting Nessie lead as much as possible; it's time to put some serious effort into getting her trained up to match the rest of the party.

Surf out into the Lake of Rage and fight the Red Gyarados; one Spark and two Bubblebeams from Lumi knock him into the red, but it still takes forever and Lumi faints before I catch him because I've decided to be stubborn about catching my whole team in regular Pokéballs. Name him Rua (Gaelic for red) and add him to my party, but unfortunately the best of Gyarados's moveset in this generation almost completely duplicates Feraligatr's, so he's destined to be mostly an HM slave. Teach Rua Strength.

Trade the Red Scale to Mr. Pokémon for the Exp Share, which I give Nessie to hold, and let her lead as much as possible while I make a few side trips. Now that I have a Strength user, enter Mt. Mortar and explore as much of the cave system as I can access without Waterfall or Rock Climb. Return to the Lake of Rage to fight all the trainers and collect all the items that are accessible while the water is high. Fly to Cianwood City and enter the now-open Cliff Edge Gate to explore Rts 47-48. Nessie is only about two levels shy of the rest of the party by the time we reach the Safari Zone, so we do a bit of grinding in the grass on Rt 48 to finish training her up, and then I'm able to wean her off the EXP share.

Fly back to the Lake of Rage once more and finally talk to Lance, then return to Mahogany Town to bust the Rocket Hideout. Fang and Axolittle between them do most of the work here, nothing to write home about. Return to the Lake of Rage and for the last trainer and items that are only accessible when the water is low, then it's time to challenge the Mahogany Gym.

Mahogany is an easy gym for my team. Fang's Crunch takes down a Jynx and Water Gun melts two Swinub, then Lumi's electric attacks take all the water/ice dual types, including Pryce's Seel and Dewgong. Pryce's Piloswine goes down to a Surf from Nessie.

The Professor calls to say there's a situation at the Radio Tower, so off to Goldenrod we fly. Fang deals with the rats and Nessie is on bat patrol, but Axolittle is definitely MVP here. Levitate means I have nothing super-effective against the Koffing line, but they're fragile enough that Axolittle's Surf usually one-shots. Petrel's Weezing outspeeds Axolittle, manages to poison her with Sludge, and takes two hits to go down, but she's bulky enough to take down the rest of his team before being healed.

I'm not expecting my rival in the warehouse, which means Axolittle is still in the lead; Golbat hits Lumi with a Confuse Ray on the switch-in, and she gets pretty beat up by confusion and Bite before she finally lands a Thunderbolt to take it down. The rest of his team is easy, though, with Magnemite falling to Axolittle's Dig, Haunter to Fang's Crunch, Sneasel to Fang's Rock Smash, and Meganium to Nessie's Ice Beam. Finish taking out Team Rocket in the warehouse and the locked side of the radio tower, with Axolittle continuing to do the bulk of the work. The three Executives require more of a team effort, but aren't difficult enough to really be worth mentioning. By the time we beat Archer and receive the Silver Wing from the Director, Axolittle is the highest leveled member of my team.

Take a quick trip down Rt 44, where everyone gets a match or two in. I'm getting pretty tired, so we halt for the night before entering the Ice Path.

Fang handles everything on the Ice Path, and we make it through to Blackthorn City with little trouble. Get the Waterfall HM along the way and immediately teach it to Fang, finally giving him a better water move than Water Gun. Take Axolittle to the move deleter to forget Surf so she can learn Waterfall instead, which is better with her higher physical attack. (The next time Fang levels up, realize that despite thinking of him as primary a physical attacker, his special attack is only two points lower, so I take him get Waterfall replaced with Surf.)

Go into Blackthorn Gym with my team a few levels short of Claire's ace; we're hitting the point in the region's EXP curve where it's getting hard to keep up. The gym trainers are easy; Nessie's Ice Beam takes everything in the Dratini line and Lumi's Thunderbolt handles the Horsea line. Claire's Gyarados and Dragonairs aren't much harder, and handled in the same manner, though one of the Dragonairs is able to get a Thunder Wave off and paralyze Nessie, and Ice Beam doesn't quite one-shot, leading to a few turns of spamming Ice Beam while she uses healing items. I got the Dragon Claw TM from the Goldenrod Lottery and taught it to Fang in place of Ice Fang specifically for dealing with Kingdra; even with that, it takes three hits to go down, but go down it does (and I'm impressed with Fang's ability to tank a Hyper Beam).

Claire throws her little hissy fit, so we head to the Dragon's Den, which is a breeze for Nessie and Lumi after the gym. Pass the Elder's test and get the gym badge, then it's time to head south. Fang takes everything on Rts 45 and 46, and Lumi handles the Dark Cave (though she gets knocked out once by a wild Wobuffet's Destiny Bond because her Signal Beam isn't quite enough to one-shot). Catch a Skarmory while we're on Rt 45 to be my new HM slave, so I can now carry Cut, Flash, and Fly at the same time.

Stop in at Elm's Lab when we arrive back in New Bark Town, and he directs me to the Ecruteak Dance Theater. Battle the Kimono Girls: Fang easily takes Umbreon with a few Rock Smashes and Espeon with a single Crunch; Axolittle tanks a Fire Blast on the switch-in against Flareon, then gets burned by Will-o-Wisp; the attack reduction means she can't one-shot, and she takes another Fire Blast before taking it down. I don't think Axolittle is in good enough shape to handle Jolteon, so I leave Fang in; he gets knocked out, but Lumi's Surf finishes the job. Lumi's Thunderbolt takes Vaporeon easily.

Off to the Whirl Islands, where Lumi takes on all comers as we explore the caves. Find Lugia in the Waterfall Basin, and decide I have no particular reason to catch it and would rather have the EXP, so Nessie takes it down in three Ice Beams. (Feel bad for disappointing the Kimono Girls. Maybe I'll come back and catch it once I'm Champion.)

Head back to Mt. Mortar to explore the sections that require Waterfall to access. Lumi handles everything here too, though the Machokes in the Upper Cave manage to be a serious threat. Find the Aerial Ace TM, teach it to Fang in place of Dragon Claw, and almost immediately use it to defeat the Karate King. Sidequests now completed, we fly back to New Bark Town to strike out for the League.

I switch leads around a lot on Rts 27 -26, trying to distribute the experience as much as possible. Heal at the house, pass through the Victory Road Gate, and Nessie very nearly solos Victory Road. I'm prepared for my rival's ambush this time. Fang OHKOs Sneasel with Rock Smash, Nessie two-shots Meganium with Ice Beam, and the Reflect that Meganium got up in between isn't enough to stop Axolittle's Earthquake from one-shotting Magneton. Fang's Crunch isn't enough to one-shot Haunter through Reflect, though, and it gets a Confuse Ray off. Fang hits itself in confusion the next turn, but successfully lands another Crunch to take out Haunter after that. The Reflect and confusion wear off, Kadabra Disables Fang's Crunch before he can use it, so we have to brute force it with Surf and Aerial Ace. Kadabra sets up another Reflect before going down, but that doesn't matter because all that's left is for Lumi to take Golbat with Thunderbolt, an easy OHKO. At this point Axolittle is still at level 44, while my other three fighters are all level 46, so I take her to do a little grinding just inside Victory Road to get everyone on even footing, and then it's time to take on the Elite Four.

I'm pretty sure going in that this is gonna be a rough one; this is a bad Elite Four to not have Psychic or Fire coverage for, and I'm on the underleveled side too.

Will isn't too bad. Lumi's Thunderbolt one-shots his first Xatu. Fang Crunches Jynx for another OHKO. Lumi comes back out to take on Slowbro, who takes three Thunderbolts to go down, since Will uses a Full Restore when the first one doesn't finish it. Nessie drops Exeggutor into the yellow with an Ice Beam, dodges a Hypnosis, and her second Ice Beam finishes the job. The second Xatu outspeeds Lumi and hits her with Confuse Ray before she can get a Thunderbolt off; she hurts herself in confusion and tanks a Psychic before correctly aiming a second Thunderbolt.

Koga I'm in a very bad position to deal with. Fang two-shots Ariados with Aerial Ace. Axolittle repeatedly uses Dig against Forretress, trying to bait an Explosion, but instead it just spams Protect and Swift and sets up two layers of Toxic Spikes. After three or four hits I get it into the red, Koga uses a Full Restore, and I give up, take a turn to heal, and switch to just doing as much damage as possible with Earthquake, and eventually wear it down. With Toxic Spikes on the field, I opt to dig in and run with Axolittle for as long as possible. Muk is bulky enough not to go down to a single Earthquake, and spams Minimize while its black sludge slowly heals it, so it takes a little while to go down too. Axolittle has to tank a few Psychics against Venomoth, but is able to wear it down without too much trouble. She won't be able to do much against Crobat, though, so I switch in Nessie and let her take the poisoning (unfortunately, Axolittle is the only one I thought to equip with a Pecha Berry). Her first Ice Beam takes its HP into the yellow, but Crobat spams Double Team and getting a second hit in proves nearly impossible. I spend a turn to use a Full Restore when the poison damage knocks Nessie's health into the red, and after that Crobat stops using additional Double Teams and starts whittling down Nessie's HP with Quick Attack and Wing Attack while she continues lobbing Ice Beams. Finally, when we're about to run out of PP, the 10th Ice Beam lands for the KO.

Fang starts out strong against Bruno, taking out Hitmontop with a single Aerial Ace and Hitmonchan with two (though not before the latter does some damage with Thunder Punch) only to be knocked out by Hitmonlee's Hi Jump Kick. I send in Rua to buy a turn for me to Max Revive Fang, and Hitmonlee uses Swagger. Rua gets lucky on not hurting himself before the confusion wears off and, despite not having seen battle since I caught him at level 30, takes a good chunk out of Hitmonlee with Strength, who Bruno recalls in favor of Onix, and gets Onix into the yellow with Strength and Whirlpool before finally going down. (There's something to be said for having a Gyarados as your HM slave.) Fang quickly finishes Onix with Surf. Machamp takes a bunch of Aerial Aces to go down, and manages to KO Fang again between Cross Chop and Revenge, so I have to send Skarmory out and use another Max Revive. Once that behemoth is taken down, a weakened Hitmonlee isn't too hard to finish.

Karen's Umbreon goes down in three Rock Smashes from Fang; a defense reduction on the second and lucky crit on the third take it directly from half health to fainted, so Karen doesn't have a chance to heal it. An Ice Beam from Nessie drops Vileplume into the red; it retaliates by paralyzing with Stun Spore. Karen uses a Full Restore and Nessie immediately drops it back into the red, and Ice Shard allows her to move first despite the paralysis and finish it off. Gengar outspeeds Fang to take his HP into the yellow with Focus Blast, while Fang's Crunch does over half; Fang survives another Focus Blast with just two HP remaining to deliver the KO with a second Crunch. Lumi easily OHKOs Murkrow with Ice Beam, and Axolittle tanks a Crunch to one-shot Houndoom with Earthquake.

All of Lance's team outspeeds mine. Lumi easily tanks one attack to OHKO Gyarados with Thunderbolt. Lance sends out his level 50 Dragonite next; Nessie's Ice Beam fails to one-shot, but Sitrus Berry activation means he doesn't heal it, and Ice Shard lets Nessie move first to finish it on the next turn. Fang takes a Thunder Fang from Aerodactyl and takes it out with Surf. A crit Thunder from the next Dragonite one-shots Nessie before she can move, so Rua comes out to buy another Max Revive turn (and predictably instantly dies to Thunder as well). Nessie gets paralyzed by Thunder Wave upon her return, but is instantly healed by the Cheri Berry I gave her for that contingency, and one-shots with Ice Beam. The last Dragonite paralyzes Nessie again, but she uses Ice Beam and one-shots despite that. Axolittle takes an Air Slash from Charizard, flinches, and is dropped into the red by the time she gets an attack in. Waterfall fails to one-shot, and she faints to Shadow Claw, but any of my team can do this job, so Fang comes back in and finishes Charizard with Surf. Definitely one of the hardest fought E4 runs I've had, but the Championship is mine.

Started new game, named self Calenlily and told my friends to call me Calen. Picked Froakie. Got a female the first time I soft reset for a better nature, named her Frogger.

Picked up a Bunnelby on Rt 2 for an HM slave and Pickup support, but apart from that it was just me and Frogger through Santalune City. Detour to Rt 22 to catch a Psyduck, name her Pita, spend some time grinding her up so I'll have two viable before challenging the Santalune Gym. While it's been smooth sailing with Frogger, Pita struggles considerably more. Hit the gym, let Pita take as many trainers as she can since she needs the Exp, then Frogger (who's a Frogadier by now) easily takes Viola's team. Get my first badge and the Exp Share, hooray.

Head down Rt 4, during which time Pita hits level 15, learns Confusion, and starts to be moderately useful. Reach Lumiose City, battle the Professor (where Pita's Confusion comes in very handy against Bulbasaur, though she dies to Leech Seed shortly after taking it down), and get my choice of Kanto starter. Pick Squirtle, of course, and name him Sheldon. Head down Rt 5, now focusing on training Sheldon, and he gets to level 16, learns Bite and evolves into Wartortle before we leave the route.

Camphrier Town, Rt 7 west, Rt 6 and the Parfum Palace are all pretty uneventful. I've got a decent little party by now but I'm mostly focused on getting to the other side of Rt 7 so I can get my next party member. Finally get the flute and wake the Snorlax, knock it out and finally reach Rt 7's tall grass. Getting a Ducklett encounter seems to take forever but once I do the first one I find is a +SpA female. Name her Odette and make her my new primary training focus. Odette provides very welcome coverage against grass and bugs and starts being a BAMF even before she reaches the level of her teammates.

Get a bit of Exp and money at the Battle Chateau, then head through the Connecting Cave and over Rt 8 to Ambrette Town. Get the Rock Smash TM, and promptly run all over the beach smashing all the rocks I can find until I get a decent Binacle. Catch Binacle, name her Billie, train Billie and Odette through Rt 9 and the Glittering Cave. Return to Ambrette Town and cross Rt 8's beach to arrive in Cyllage City.

Everyone gets a few hits in in the Cyllage Gym, 2nd badge acquired. Billie mains Rt 10 (with a little help from Odette) since she's still underleveled and we reach Geosenge Town. I'm nervous about facing Korinna at the exit, but Sheldon easily handles her Lucarios with Bulldoze.

Odette and Pita both evolve on Rt 11 as we approach Reflection Cave, and Sheldon and Frogger achieve their final evolutions on the way through the cave. Billie is MVP of Reflection Cave despite being my lowest leveled and only still unevolved team member. (This game's pacing is very odd; it doesn't seem right to be exiting Reflection Cave with an almost all fully evolved and approaching level 40 team but unable to buy Full Heals because I only have two badges.)

Arrive in Shalour City. Billie takes Calem's Meowstic and Absol at the Tower of Mastery, and Odette takes Quilladin. Odette effortlessly sweeps the fighting gym, 3rd badge acquired. Return to the Tower, grumble about being forced to battle Korrina with a Lucario that I don't want, win the battle and get the Mega Ring. Equip Sheldon with his Mega Stone.

Get Surf from Calem, teach it to most of the party, then head down Rt 12. Box Pita to collect the gift Lapras, name her Nessie. Arrive in Coumarine City, promptly pick up the Good Rod and go fishing in Azure Bay. Catch a Remoraid and name her Octavia. Catch a Chinchou and name her Lumi. (Both take a number of catches before I find individuals with the right ability and a decent nature.) Decide I'm not going to use Nessie after all and box her and my Diggersby in order to free up party slots for Octavia and Lumi. They're both a good 15 levels behind the rest of the party and take some serious effort to get leveled up. Octavia evolves into Octillery almost immediately, but I hold Lumi back so she can learn moves quicker, and use Eviolite to bolster her defenses in the meantime. Explore Azure Bay and everywhere else I've previously bypassed on account of needing Surf in order to get Lumi as much Exp as possible.

Return to Coumarine City. Battle Calem outside the Coumarine Gym, using the same Pokémon and moves as last time. Challenge the Gym, Octavia is able to take Ramos's Jumpluff with a few Aurora Beams and Odette sweeps everything else.

Octavia handles Rt 13 easily enough and spends a while grinding there before heading into the Power Plant. Put Lumi up against Team Flare, but she's really struggling, so I let her evolve after she learns Signal Beam at level 34. She does a bit better after that, but is still noticeably the weakest team member.

Arrive back in Lumiose City. Fight all the trainers in the back alleys before heading to the gym. Let Lumi take the first few gym trainers, since Volt Absorb makes her better than immune to electric attacks, but she's still not holding up too well, so I switch to using Sheldon instead. Sheldon easily sweeps the gym by Mega Evolving and spamming Bulldoze, deferring only to Billie (who's a Barbaracle by now, don't remember exactly when she evolved) to take out Clemont's Emolga.

Another battle with Calem goes down pretty much the same as the last two, except I let Lumi take on Absol this time and his starter is now fully evolved and thus doubly weak to Odette's flying attacks. Odette and Octavia see us down Rt 14 to Laverre City.

Challenge the Laverre Gym. Billie sweeps with Poison Jab plus Shadow Claw for the psychic dual types, with a little help from Sheldon's Bulldoze to take care of Valerie's Mawile and gym trainers' Klefki and Dedenne. With 6 badges down, head to the Pokéball Factory. Lumi (who got the Dazzling Gleam TM from the gym) is much more capable by now and carries the team here, with a little help from Octavia and Sheldon to deal with poison and electric types.

Head down Rt 15 to Dendemille Town. Take Frogger to the Move Relearner for Night Slash, and Sheldon for Flash Cannon (overwriting Bite with the latter, which he can afford to give up now that Frogger finally has a dark move). Explore the Lost Hotel and Rt 16 before returning to Dendemille and heading north to the Frost Cavern. Sheldon handles the wild Pokémon here, while Odette takes on the large number of fighting specialist trainers. Save Abomasnow from Team Flare's harassment and ride Mammoswine down Rt 17 to Anistar City.

The addition of a Vaporeon for Lumi to take out fails to make Calem any more threatening. Challenge Anistar Gym, where Frogger and Billie split the honors, and Lumi gets in on the fun to take down Olympia's Sigilyph before a Yawn from Slowking puts her out of action.

Emerge with our 7th badge to news of disaster and fly back to Lumiose City to raid Team Flare's hideout. Lumi mostly carries again (with a help from Octavia and Sheldon, the latter being crucial against a few of the scientists), at the hideout and in Geosenge Town, and solos Lysandre twice. Octavia goes up against Yveltal and tanks three attacks to put it in the red with 1 HP remaining herself, and the first Ultra Ball catches. Octavia goes on the take down Lysandre's Mienshao when he challenges me once again, then Lumi sweeps the rest of his team.

Return to Anistar City and head east once more, over Rt 18, through Couriway Town where I meet with the Professor again, and down Rt 19 to Snowbelle City. Sheldon mains against Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor.
Odette has pretty much carried the team through these routes and on an expedition to explore Terminus Cave, ending up five levels above the next highest party member, so she gets boxed for a while when I need Diggersby for HMs on Rt 20.

Catch up with Wulfric in Pokémon Village and return to Snowbelle to challenge the gym. Sheldon sweeps again, occasionally deferring to Billie and Octavia when they can target double weaknesses (as with Wulfric's Abomasnow, who falls instantly to Octavia's Flamethrower).

Return to Pokémon Village for the Psychic TM, and do some backtracking around Mountain Kalos to collect other items that require Waterfall to access before heading on to Rts 21 and 22. Enter Victory Road, where Octavia mains. I still have Diggersby in the party for Cut and Strength, but once I get to the grove about halfway through and he pushes the boulder into place to create a shortcut to the entrance, I can duck down that passageway and briefly return to the Pokécenter in Santalune City to return him to the box and retrieve Odette, who stays with me for the rest of Victory Road. Battle Calem once more, then finish making my way to the Pokémon League.

I try to maximize the amount of play everyone gets when we face the Elite Four, so I send in a different team member against each one of Malva's fire types. Lumi and Frogger split the honors with Siebold's water squad, and Sheldon and Octavia face off against Wikstrom's steel types. Octavia, Lumi, and Odette take on Drasna's dragons. When it comes time to face the Champion, Odette takes Diantha's Hawlucha, Sheldon faces Tyrantrum and Aurorus, Billie takes Gourgeist, Lumi deals with Goodra, and then Sheldon comes back out to meet Gardevoir.

Victory Road actually put quite a bit of wear and tear on my team, but the Elite Four are a joke. I don't take a single hit until after Malva and Siebold are down, and don't even bother with healing until I'm preparing to face the Champion. Diantha's Mega Gardevoir does manage to KO Mega Sheldon, but only because it got a paralyze off with Thunderbolt and I chose to be stubborn about finishing the E4 run without using any healing items in battle; Billie takes over to swiftly finish it off.

Championship achieved, I go attend a parade in my and my friends' honor. AZ challenges me, and Lumi quickly sweeps his team. Roll credits.

...I am officially bad at briefly summarizing.

Overall this was a really fun and pretty easy run. I made a point of trying to use Pokémon I haven't used before; Psyduck, Ducklett, Binacle, and Remoraid were all Pokémon/evolutionary lines I'd never trained before, plus I'd only used Froakie once previously and never used Blastoise's Mega. I really enjoyed the branch out. (This run also had the most pure types I've used in a long time, let alone in a monotype run.)

Odette was possibly MVP of the run; she got good really early and was always a pleasure to use, and by late game I was having to try not to use her too much because she kept outpacing the rest of the team in levels and I needed to make sure the others got their share of Exp. I was a little worried about the shallowness of her movepool going in, but she was great at what she did and filled a really important niche.

Octavia was my queen of coverage. Her lack of speed was a bit annoying, but her versatility and competence as an attacker made up for it. I'd wanted to try using an Octillery for a while, but kept hesitating on account of the poor speed stat; I'm glad I decided to go for it.

Lumi was definitely the weakest team member stat-wise (with the exception of her amazing HP), but she was still very much good enough to get the job done. While not quite as versatile as Octavia, she still had a great coverage moveset, with the right synergy for her to shine as slayer of Team Flare.

Billie was a great physical attacker, which was a valuable complement to my otherwise mostly specially-oriented team. The coverage she provided came in clutch in the midgame, and though I ended up relying on her a lot less once Octavia and Lumi joined the team, she never stopped being useful.

Frogger somehow ended up being the fifth wheel of the team. While she was easily my strongest Pokémon in early game, she failed to find a niche once I had more of a team built. She didn't have much coverage until quite a ways in (not getting dark STAB until after the 6th badge was particularly painful), and even once she did it was, while important to the team, mostly only relevant in niche situations. While a strong Pokémon, she was mostly just good at being a water type, and that's not super useful in a monotype run.

Sheldon was the other candidate for MVP of the run, and ended up kind of feeling like my real starter. An absolute powerhouse and an absolute tank. Any time I was facing a tough opponent, or one I didn't have great coverage for, I could call in the big guns (or should I says cannons) and know I could rely on Sheldon; there was very little he couldn't take down in one or two shots when he went Mega.

• I started the game, chose the guy for a change and named him Harry. I went with the nickname Houdini.
• After going through the opening stuff and meeting with Tierno and Trevor, I made way to Aquacorde Town and met Serena, where I got my starter, Fennekin, and named it Natsu. I then beat Shauna's Chespin pretty easily.
• I returned home, got the Town Map, saw my pet Rhyhorn off, and made way to Route 2, where Shauna was questioned for not knowing what her Froakie was inside of. I then went through Santalune Forest with her, beating the trainers easily enough. But I skipped the trainers on Route 3 while being jumped by a Roller Skater.
• As I arrived in Santalune City, I took after her, and she gave me a pair of Roller Skates for my troubles. I then entered the Gym, and beat the trainers pretty easily, but came up short against Viola the first time even with her Surskit being dumb. So I went back and beat two trainers to get Natsu to Level 13. Then I took her on again!
• As she began with Surskit, she used Water Sport as I opted to go for Howl. She then used a weak Quick Attack as my Scratch did alright. She then used Bubble for under half my remaining health as Scratch scored a critical hit to get her to the red. She used her Potion, but Scratch 2HKO'd after she used Quick Attack again, but I was unfortunately narrowly short of Blaze range as Water Sport faded. Vivillon came out with Infestation, as Ember hit huge thanks to Blaze. Unfortunately, I was left with 5 HP and had to heal, as she...used Infestation again. I had half my health left, and after a Tackle I finished her with another Ember for the win. And grew to Level 14 and learned Flame Charge over Tail Whip.
• With that, I got the Bug Badge and TM83 for Infestation, which is cool. I was suggested to go to Lumiose City to show it to the professor. I'll take care of that next time!
