Hey guys! its been a while without any update, school is kinda driving me crazy.
==================================================
The jist of it :: I have just kicked Red buttom with my Yui/Dragonite/80
I have finished my challenged, but i have not documented it.. im even doing a story for it XD
Here is what i got so far
==================================================
With a gym badge under my belt Yui and I proceeded to the next gym location, Azalea and the bug-type gym. We stop to catch our breath at the Pokemon Center located before the Union Cave. After talking and battling a few trainers we went through the cave, with our fire spirits high and with new abilities to match.
It was raining when we got out of the cave, I decided to take Yui to the nearest Pokemon Center and wait for the rain to cease. In the center we once again talked to the trainers and some old folks who got me filled in some rumors. It seemed the Team Rocket was causing trouble at a well.
Yui seemed to get a bit melancholic while we look outside the Center’s window. I took the small pokemon an put it on my lap as I sat near the entrance. It was nice with the sound of the rain outside and the warmth of Yui… I fell asleep.
I felt something pulling me off my shirt and woke up to find Yui trying to say something and murmurs in the Pokemon Center about old man Kurt running to beat the Team Rocket. It seemed Yui wanted to help so I got my things and we followed the trail to the well…
Hours later I found myself in Kurt’s house, soaked wet and having a good laugh. Those grunts were no match for us, specially no match for Kurt. For my help in the matter, Kurt offered a cup of hot coffe and his service as a pokeball maker.
After spending the night in Kurt’s, I decided to take on the bug-type gym. The normal trainers were no match for Yui’s new technique, but things changed when we got to the leader. The fight started with my Yui versus a Syther from Bugsy. He used a technique called U-Turn, which critically wounded Yui and switch back to a Kakuna. I believed we could survive the fight after defeating Kakuna since they don’t attack, but to my surprised the Kakuna hopped and used tackle… we got defeated. We got to the conclusion it was bad luck and tried it again. Using the same tactics they won another round. Now we were mad, we got some potions and medicines to help us throughout the battle… Syther used Leer, U-Turn and with one shot he defeated us once again…
We noticed that his Syther was far more powerfull than us, but we were not giving up! We spent the following day training like there was no ending to it. I bet we cause a bit of chaos to the wilderness in the outskirts of the city. We now had power and speed to match up to Bugsy!
We went again and there was no holding back. Syther used UTurn and switched back, but we survived, the rest of the pokemons were no match for us, but we went versus Syther again, the real battle. Bugsy noticed the gap in strengths was thin, and he started Leer’ing us. I knew the end was near, and that we coul lose again in the next hit. Neither I nor Yui wanted to lose this time around so we charged full speed towards them. As we were going to make our finishing blow, Bugsy decided to halt us with quick attack…

With a new badge with us, Yui the two eggs and me decided to take on the next challenge! We followed the west route towards Goldenrod, battling trainers along the way and meeting the Day-Care folks, pretty nice people. One thing I found odd was this Kimono girl lost in the Ilex Forest, it’s the second time ive seen one…
Now into Goldenrod, I went in the Pokemon Center and rested for a while, thinking about the fight with Bugsy and how will the following gym will turn out.
After going to the Radio Station and picking a new radio card I went to the Gym, which turn out to be a walk in the park…

When the fight ended the Leader started to cry, after that o felt a rumbling on my back which turned to be another of my egg hatchin. The crying suddenly stop by the sounds of one cute little cloud-bird. While Witney holded and giggle at his cuteness I pulled out my PokeDex to check it out, it was Swablu: a bird pokemon that would later evolve into a dragon. Mugi, as the leader started calling my Swablu, came hopping to me with what seemed to be a smile on his face. It looked like the ours spent walking already made a bond between us.
With Witneys comment about training Miu as soon as possible, I went out the road to the next Gym battle, Ecruteak City
On our way to the city I started using Mugi for some battles. That turned out not so well because of the diference of experience of the pokemons I was facing. We decided to go back to the first strategy, taking things one step at a time. After a few hours, I could clearly see some improvement in Mugi, and even more inprovment in Yui, who seemed to enjoy every bit of mentoring.
Without noticing I was already falling asleep at the park. Yui and Mugi noticed it and went close to me to take a nap; I took the remaining egg and placed it on my lap as I sat. I think it was just dreams but I could swear I hear Yui and Mugi speaking to me, it was not English, but I understood… Then I heard that same melodic voice, it sounded happier than the first night, like she felt proud of my success… Then I hear another voice and I woke up to found who it was. There was a Bagon on my lap intead of the egg! The last one hatched… I named her Ritsu
After the not so needed introduction to the rest of the team I noticed how Yui wanted to go back to Goldenrod. It was like we left something unattended. Following that hunch and back in Goldenrod, I let Yui take the lead and directed me where he wanted to go... It saddened me what I found out. It seemed the Casino was offering pokemons as a price for wining… and one of those prices was a female Dratini! Yui and I put up our gaming bandana and decided to free her out of there, the official way… gambling…
It was four days later and I walked out of Goldenrod with four Pokemon in my team, a gym to challenge and a lot of training to do!
My Team:
Yui/ Dratinin/ 25
Mugi/ Swablu/ 15
Ritsu/ Bagon/ 10
Azunyan/ Dratini/ 15
Badges (3/8)
Days to get the second Dratini ( 3 )
I thought that my worst enemy was that Syther with U-turn… but that was until I met Morty, his Gengar and Shadow Ball. After a few tries at his gym me and my team decided to go for some serious training. I specifically wanted all of them to have the same level of experience. I don’t want any member of my team to feel lower than the rest. Keeping them the same level turned out to be a difficult task, especially with Yui who wanted to keep going at all times. On the other hand the most problematic was Mugi, that was not a dragon yet and that kept her at a disadvantage from the rest.
After a day full of training we head out to the dance theater to watch the Kimono girls. To our surprise there was a Team Rocket member harassing her. We decided to stop him! The thing is most of my team was pretty weak from all that training and couldn’t hold a single battle. At the end it was just Yui and me, like the first time. We handled the situation swiftly and to the surprise of all we all witnessed a pokemon evolution, a first for me. Now I have a beautifull and wonderful Dragonair in my arsenal, not to mention a friend larger than myself!
Is it enough to say that Morty’s Gengar was no match!?
Team:
Yui/Dragonair : 30
Mugi/ Swablu: 27
Ritsu/ Bagon: 28
Azunyan/Dratini: 20
Badges (4/8)
Did I mention I do not recall where I got the HM Surf? Now with the new badge I have access to it, we decided to go to the next gym in Olivine because there I can try it out!
A lot happened, we trained, got some more evolutions, surfed like there is no tomorrow, help save an Ampharos and won two new badges like it was nothing… it happened so fast I don’t recall much details of it!
Team:
Yui/Dragonair : 32
Mugi/ Swablu: 30
Ritsu/ Shelgon: 30
Azunyan/Dratini: 25
Badges (6/8)
Now the good stuff happens. In Olivine city they tell me about a gym in Mahogany that will prove a challenge for me: the Ice Gym, my worst nightmare. I decided to go and watch the Lake of Rage on the way, new places to surf!
I noticed my radio was acting strange as I approached the place, but it started getting weird with the behavior of the townsfolk, something seemed to be fake. I ran to the Lake in a hunch to encounter what seemed to be fate, another Dragon Tamer. Why I knew that (besides the part with the Dragonite by his side)? I don’t know. I approached him with my Yui following me. He acknowledge my presence and smiles like he was up to something. He knew my name, and I think I knew his before he told me… Lance explained that some radio signal was making the pokemon evolve forcefully and I decided to help stopping that!
A few hours later and we tore the place apart. I knew that sometimes I was a handful to Team Rocket… but I guess to Dragon Tamers was not good for them…
