Today me an' Stewart went and dealt with all of that Wally crap in Petalburg, then headed west to find us a new buddy. We found a Slakoth, whom we named Gino, only later finding out that Gino was actually a GinA, but Gino seems okay with the name, so we're stickin' with it. We ended up meeting a moron from Devon who was being robbed by a Pirate (probably) with mommy issues. The Pirate fell swiftly to Gino's lazy wrath, and we moved on, enriched by one Great Ball...
After grinding a couple levels apiece in the Forest we emerged and kicked butt until we arrived at the Rustboro Gym, which Stewart pretty much destroyed solo, at level 13/14, with only occasional switching out, so Gino could say he helped. :P
After winning the badge, we headed outside, saw that idiot from Devon getting robbed, and decided that we should follow and help him. Before heading into the tunnel to confront the Pirate, however, Gino and Stewart leveled a little outside, with Stewart evolving into Marshtomp, which was just swell.
When I finally went into the cave, the Pirate fell easily before Gino, which was just as pathetic as before... We then went to Devon and became their new delivery boy (apparently), and got a PokeNav, which'll allow people to call us whenever they feel like it... joy.
After easily beating my 'rival' May on the road out of Rustboro, I headed down to Mr. Briney's house, and begged a ride to Dewford.
Once in Dewford I headed into Whatsit Cave, and taught Shroomish Flash, which we can't use until we win the badge, of course... I then caught a female Aron, and named her Stella (for Steel...), then I saved and headed off.
