Back at the Pokémon center, I rotated my Pokémon. I kept Cubone with me and then had Oddish(1), Farfetch’d, Vivillon, Meditite, and Zubat sent to me. I then returned to Glittering Cave.

I also received a medal after some training, making 41 total.

A-041-4 Adventure O-Power MAX A Medal to recognize an ultimate current of power in using 100 O-Powers. 12/30/2013


January 1, 2014

Happy New Year! Looking forward to catching lots more new Pokémon this year!

I decided to finally press on further in Glittering Cave. I found some mining cars and tracks leading through some tunnels, and there was some random guy wearing sunglasses and a bright red suit here. Sunglasses in a cave?? Anyway, he seemed irritated that I stumbled upon him, and told me he was from Team Flare. Oh great, looks like even Kalos has their criminally insane team. He said their goal was to make sure that their goal is to make it so that they are the only ones who are happy. Well… that’s straightforward evil. At least Team Plasma tried to disguise their activities as something that would benefit Pokémon. He then attacked me with his Houndour! Houndour? Haven’t seen that Pokémon in a while.

“Houndour, the Dark Pokémon. Houndour check each other’s location using barks that only they can understand to corner prey. Around dawn, their ominous howls echo through the area to announce that this is their territory.”

The fire-type was no match for Cubone’s Bonemerang, and then his subsequent Zubat was no match for my Vivillon. A little further down the tunnel I ran into another Team Flare grunt, this time a girl. She used a Gulpin and an Electrike!

“Electrike, the Lightning Pokémon. Electrike store static electricity in their fur for discharging. They use this static to stimulate their muscles to heighten their reaction speed.”

I defeated her as easily as I did her cohort. Then I came across Serena and two more Team Flare grunts. My Cubone and I teamed up with her and her Espurr to battle them. Their Scraggy and Croagunk were quickly defeated. As we explored further in the cave, Cubone was practicing its Rock Smash on some nearby rocks. It found a bunch of Dwebble and a handful of Hard Stones, and then it found something rather interesting. I picked it up to look at it, and it looked very familiar. I think it’s a fossil I’ve seen before… I know! It’s an Old Amber! I’ll have to bring it back to the research laboratory in Ambrette Town.

Then all of a sudden I saw something fall from the ceiling of the cave. I took a closer look. It was actually some Ferroseed! When I went to get a closer look, something else dived at me. A Woobat!

“Ferroseed, the Thorn Seed Pokémon. Ferroseed absorb the iron they find in rocks while clinging to the ceiling. When threatened, they attack by shooting a barrage of spikes, which gives them a chance to escape by rolling away.”

“Woobat, the Bat Pokémon. Woobat leave a heart-shaped mark on bodies they attach to. These marks are said to bring good fortune. They emit ultrasonic waves from their noses to learn about their surroundings. Their habitat is dark forests and caves."


After a little more searching, I was able to catch one of each of these two Pokémon.

100. Woobat

101. Ferroseed


Then we finally found the other researcher. He said he just discovered two fossils. He offered one to each us, but Serena declined the offer. So he handed me the Jaw Fossil and the Sail Fossil. I can’t wait to see what kind of Pokémon can be revived from them!

Having finally completed my exploration of Glittering Cave, I made my way back out to Spikes Passage. Outside, I saw a trainer atop one of the cliffs doing some aerial training techniques with his Ledian.

“Ledian, the Five Star Pokémon, and the evolved form of Ledyba. Ledian have spot patterns on their backs that grow larger or smaller depending on the number of stars in the night sky. When the stars flicker, these Pokémon flutter about, scattering a glowing powder.”

The trainer challenged me to a sky battle. Apparently, sky battles are a common type of battle in the Kalos region, and are obviously restricted to Pokémon that can take to the air. So I battled Ledian with Zubat, and after a close battle, we won.

I then hopped on the Rhyhorn that I parked outside the cave, and made the journey across the cliffs back to Ambrette Town.

January 2, 2014

I took the fossils I found in the Glittering Cave and brought them to the laboratory in Ambrette Town. The Jaw Fossil became a Pokémon called Tyrunt! It looks very closely related to Crainidos, but then I noticed its type. A fossil Pokémon that’s part dragon-type, cool! The Sail Fossil became an interesting Pokémon called Amaura, and this one was part ice-type, which is equally cool. The Old Amber, as I expected, was revived into an Aerodactyl.

“Tyrunt, the Royal Heir Pokémon. Tyrunt have immense jaws that have enough destructive force to chew up an automobile. If something happens that they don’t like, they throw a tantrum and run wild. They lived 100 million years ago.”

“Amaura, the Tundra Pokémon. Amaura lived in a cold land where there were no violent predators. They are restored from parts of their bodies that had been frozen in ice for over 100 million years.”

“Aerodactyl, the Fossil Pokémon. Aerodactyl are vicious Pokémon that are said to have flown in ancient skies while shrieking high-pitched cries. They were regenerated from a dinosaur’s genetic matter that was found in amber.”


102. Tyrunt

103. Amaura

104. Aerodactyl

The researcher that we found in the cave did not have any more information regarding mega evolution, however. I was given a strange stone that the scientists said they found amidst a high concentration of Old Amber in the Glittering Cave. It looked like the stones that Professor Sycamore gave me, so I kept it with those.

With that mission complete, it was time to determine my next move. Looking at the map, there’s a city just a little ways up the coast from here called Cyllage City. Hopefully there’s a gym there, because I feel like I’m well overdue for a gym battle! And I can’t wait to battle with Cubone in its first battle against a gym leader. So I stopped in the Pokémon Center, contacted Professor Sycamore, and had Psyduck, Furfrou, Pansage, Axew, and Drifloon sent to me. Together with my Cubone, we left Ambrette Town and traveled on the lower beaches of the Muraille Coast.

I also got my first medal of the new year:
A-044-1 Adventure Archeology Lover A Medal to prove the power of science that restored Pokémon from Fossils and brought them to the present time. 01/02/2014

While I walked along the beach, I decided to see what I could find using my Old Rod. I cast the line and hooked a Luvdisc! I immediately tossed a Pokéball and caught it.

“Luvdisc, the Rendezvous Pokémon. Luvdisc live in warm seas. During the spawning season, they congregate at coral reefs, turning the waters pink. It is said that a couple finding this Pokémon will be blessed with eternal love.”

105. Luvdisc


January 4, 2013

It’s a freezing single degree winter morning, so I decided to head over to the Battle Chateau for some Pokémon battles! The first trainer I challenged had a Ledian and a Mr. Mime.

“Mr. Mime, the Barrier Pokémon. Mr. Mime are adept at conning people. Emanations from their fingertips solidify the air into invisible walls that repel even harsh attacks. They create these walls by miming.”

I then battled a bunch of other trainers, giving my whole team some good experience. Then I returned to Muraille Coast, and battled a trainer there who had a trio of Tentacool.

“Tentacool, the Jellyfish Pokémon. Tentacool drift in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by their stingers. Their bodies are virtually composed of water. They shoot strange beams from their crystal-like eyes.”

Further up the beach, I found another fisherman who was a trainer, and this one battled me with two good ol’ Kanto Pokémon, Shellder and Staryu!

“Shellder, the Bivalve Pokémon. Shellder have hard shells that repel any kind of attack. They are vulnerable only when their shells are open. Clamping onto opponents reveals their vulnerable parts, so they use that move only as a last resort.”

“Staryu, the Starshape Pokémon. Staryu appear in large numbers by seashores. At night, their central cores flash with a red light. Even is their bodies are torn, they can regenerate as long as the glowing central core remains intact.”


And finally, I battled a swimmer who had a Masquerain!

“Masquerain, the Eyeball Pokémon, and the evolved form of Surskit. Masquerain flap their four wings to hover and fly freely in any direction. Their antennae have eye patterns on them.”

It was just a short distance past that, and I arrived in Cyllage City! There was quite a bit to see and do in this town. Among other things, I got myself a bike, bought a new t-shirt, got some Soda Pop, and stocked up on other supplies. I visited Hotel Cyllage and my Cubone was awarded a Snooze Ribbon, my first ribbon since my Pokémon Coordinator days back in the Sinnoh region. I miss Pokémon Contests. I then stopped by the café in town, and paid to sit at the counter. One of the other patrons sitting at the counter with me had a Munchlax with him!

“Munchlax, the Big Eater Pokémon, and the pre-evolved form of Snorlax. Munchlax conceal food under the long fur on their bodies. They cart around this food stash and swallow it without chewing. However, they tend to forget they have hidden this food.”

I then tried out my new bicycle by riding it along the bike path that was carved out of the side of the mountain. I ran into a guy named Grant, who, in addition to being a pro bicyclist, was the Cyllage City gym leader! He showed me his gym, which was carved inside a large cave and had rock climbing walls throughout it, as well as a giant waterfall crashing behind it. I’ll have to come back here after a bit more training.

I stopped in the Pokémon Center, had my Pokémon check out by Nurse Joy, then rotated and had Burmy(M), Skiddo, Illumise, Mienfoo, and Zangoose sent to me. I also received two new medals!

A-036-2 Adventure Great Customer A Medal for rich people who spent $100,000 at Poké Marts. 01/04/2014
A-004-1 Adventure Starter Cycling A Medal given to beginning cyclists who rode a Bicycle for the first time. 01/04/2014

The Professor is introducing me to the world of Pokémon, telling me we use their power and lend our strength to help each other grow which was something I already knew but it was great I got to witness a marvelous painting! I could name almost every Pokémon on there and was eager to learn the names of the ones I didn't recognise.
He asked me if I'm a boy or a girl and what my name was then told me that I should prepare for a journey through the Kalos region!
Was this a premonition or a dream? I woke to a Pokémon tackling me that had flew into my bedroom.
I jumped up out of bed and ran to check my Facebook on the laptop my Dad had bought me. I then ran downstairs in my pyjamas which my Mom didn't like and asked me to go change. I expected breakfast to be ready after I did but she just insisted on me meeting the neighbours.
I listened to her for once and opened the door, waiting there were two girls whom I assumed lived here in town, Serena and Shauna. They told me that Professor Sycamore wanted five children to go on an adventure and that I was one of them.. Serena didn't understand why I was chosen since we had just moved to Vaniville Town after all. I was wondering the same thing myself when they left and said to meet them in the next town over.

I learned that Serena lived next door to me and met her Mother then spoke with a few people around town, I couldn't find Shauna's house however.
I left for Vaniville Pathway worried I may run into a wild Pokémon, fortunately there wasn't any tall grass.
The route didn't take long and I quickly arrived in Aquacorde Town. I heard someone calling my name but I wasn't sure where it was coming from after being asked if I loved Pokémon by a woman waiting tables, I realised I was going the wrong way.
I sat down at the table where Serena, Shauna and two other guys were. They were introduced as Tierno and Trevor and insisted on giving me a nickname? What am I, a Pokémon?
Of the three given to me by my new friends I decided to pick M-Meister which Shauna thought fits me perfectly!
Tierno then dug inside his bag to reveal three Pokéballs and said that we were to pick only one.. It wasn't hard to chose even though I loved them all; I decided to pick Chespin, Shauna went with Froakie and Serena was left with Fennekin. Trevor was also generous and gave me a Pokédex.
After naming my new Chespin Chester; Tierno, Trevor and myself left. They went in search of Pokémon and I had to get permission from my Mom to leave on an adventure!
Shauna wanted a battle before I left the town which I couldn't refuse, she sent out her Froakie and I summoned my Chester to the battle field. Using two Vine Whips was all it took to knock out her Froakie which she didn't seem too happy about, that was one win under my belt.
Back home my Mom packed me a change of clothing and I set off on my journey. After stocking up on some Potions in Aquacorde Town I was on Avance Trail where I defeated a Pidgey and was taught how to catch Pokémon by Serena, something I already knew but Shauna didn't from her reaction.
Before she left Serena gave me ten Pokéballs that I could use to catch wild Pokémon. I then battled a trainer stood at the entrance of a forest then went back to town to allow a woman there to take care of my Chester as there wasn't a Pokémon Center in town.

I lost track of my levels. I'm sorry. ^^

Smaug the Charizard L53 (I think)
Nutella the Chesnaught L52
Cthulhu the Malamar L51
Alondite the Doublade L51
Godzilla the Tyrantrum L51 (I think)
Big Bertha the Clawitzer L45

Basically, I did quite a lot of stuff after the last time I posted. Caught a female Clauncher and trained it. I beat the Coumarine gym very easily, basically I just unleashed Mega Charizard X on the leader and it was gg.

Then I saved the Power Plant from Team Flare. I'd totally pay the $5,000,000 fee to become a member! They're probably the coolest evil team in the series. I found a really huge masked man who I have no idea who he is but think he'll play a major part in the storyline later on.

Beat Clemont (aka Mousse from Ranma 1/2) easily, too. Heliolisk isn't particularly strong. Then I went to Route 14, which brings memories of Sinnoh (SINNOH CONFIRMED!) and arrived at Laverre City. I inadvertently walked into the gym and decided to fight my way through it. Since my team has no less than three Pokémon weak to the dreadful, girly Fairy-type, I had a little trouble, but also because I wanted to train Big Bertha and she was at roughly the same level as the Pokémon in the gym.

Valerie (aka Erika clone) was probably the most difficult gym leader so far, because of Sylveon. It has great Sp.Def, and Charm to take care of the physical side. I probably could've beaten her with Alondite but I was impatient so I went with Smaug. I made a point of not using Mega Evolution against the girly gym, and I prevailed in the end. She gives me Dazzling Gleam (TM99) and off I go to the Poké Ball Factory.

There I find Team Flare again, so more cool music. I fight my way through, beat the Admin and the two scientists (whose names I unfortunately don't recall, hope I can fight them again), and the president gives me the Master Ball for my effort.

And I saved at Laverre City.

Also I caught myself a Goomy at the marsh.

New update...

Smaug the Charizard L66
Nutella the Chesnaught L 65
Alondite the Doublade L65
Cthulhu the Malamar L65
Godzilla the Tyrantrum L65
Big Bertha the Clawitzer L65

Aaaaand the story has come full circle. I beat Lysandre and caught Xerneas.

Before I get into that, let's just say this game makes the serious mistake of allowing you to overlevel your Pokémon too much. Therefore, none of the battles are memorable, because I'm like 15 levels above everyone, and I had to hold back to avoid knocking Xerneas out.

Lysandre's motives remind me of that recent movie, Elysium. Resources are limited, so let's get rid of all the ugly people in the world and build a new utopia. It's a classic theme, and it's understandable why Lysandre does that, if you read his notes in the labs. Interestingly enough, there are quite a lot of people like that in the world. People who view the poor as beggars who hold back the progress of the gifted ones, people who want to get rid of the filth (criminals, addicts, mental patients)... And these people, unlike Lysandre, sometimes aren't recognized as villains by the society. I bet many people would like for a Lysandre to exist so that he builds a weapon that magically wipes out all the undesirable people from the world.

The story... It's a good concept, but I don't think the execution was as good as in BW. In Pokémon games, usually the evil team arc meshes in well with the main goal of collecting the badges and becoming the Champion. The climax of the series was BW (a game which people see as filler but was a turning point in the series IMO). In XY, however, it takes a while for you to meet Team Flare. It's before the second badge, like in most Pokémon games, but the path from Santalune to Cyllage is very long. Also, there are a lot of important things for the story that are rarely mentioned, like AZ. You see him once, then there are some scattered mentions of him here and there, and the next time you see him is when he's imprisoned by Lysandre. Then, there's the reveal of the worst kept secret in the game, that Lysandre is the leader of Team Flare. It's done so suddenly that it almost makes me not care. Suddenly, the guy who's known as owning a corporation that helps trainers unmasks himself via Holo Caster and starts saying some stuff like "Team Flare is going to unleash a weapon into the world"... Lysandre doesn't sound believable when he says that. We only know he's going to do it because we've been fighting Team Flare, but what about the ordinary person who views Lysandre as a rich benefactor? It didn't work very well.

There's also the issue that Team Flare has too many unnecessary characters. The scientists don't really have a personality of their own. The game that best handled admins was Platinum. You saw them lots of times and could even relate to them. But in XY, they're basically just grunts with names. Only Xerosic has a special Pokémon I think (Malamar).

To sum it up, the story was fun to follow, but looking in retrospect, it's not that good. It's a good concept that wasn't executed very well IMO.

I also tested Pokémon Amie a bit, and it's fun. I suck at the puzzle game, though, so I use the others to get Poké Puffs. I haven't seen the Pokémon Amie boosts, but it's not like I need them, since I'm so overleveled that nothing can touch my team.

Inside Santalune Forest I met back up with Shauna and she told me not to worry as she would be willing to heal up my Pokémon if they were injured.
After battling Youngster Joey and winning due to the fact he didn't have his superior Rattata with him I spent a while searching for the first member of my team.
I spent some time bonding with Chester and he started to grow on me, I also caught myself a Fletchling and Scatterbug. Soon after I ran into a wild Pikachu and added him to my party.
This Pikachu didn't have a light ball attached so utilising Shauna's kind nature to heal up my Pokémon I caught as many Pikachu as I could with the Pokéballs provided hoping one would be holding the coveted item.

Upon arriving at Satalune City Pokémon Center my Pikachu had now gained a lot of experience from catching all of it's fellow Pikachu and battling the trainers on Ouvert Way. I gave him the Light Ball and healed up then broadcasted a trade request using the PSS to trade my Chester for a Bulbasaur, the second member of my team.
She was level 1 so I had to give her some training on Route 22, East of the City.
There wasn't much else to do after this other then challenge the Gym Leader Viola, she specialises in Bug Type Pokémon which could be a problem for Bulbasaur so I brought my Fletchling along.

I defeated three trainers within the gym and healed up before meeting the pro photog herself, she sent out Surskit and I sent out Bulbasaur quickly switching into Fletchling to take a Quick Attack.
After a few Pecks and Surskit using both Bubble and Water Sport she only had her final Pokémon.
I switched to Pikachu and started spamming his Thunder Shock attack and Potions to handle the Infestation Vivillon used against me!
My Fletchling and Pikachu had helped me defeat Viola and I obtained the Bug Badge, as a reward I fed them both many Poképuffs and petted them in Pokémon Amie.
I stored Fletchling in the PC and healed up at the center. I was also given the Exp. Share from Alexa, Viola's sister for defeating the first gym and proving myself.

January 26, 2014 --

After visiting Geosenge Town, I travelled further on Route 11, battling a couple trainers. I successfully caught a wide assortment of Pokémon. These include Sawk, Nidorino, Hariyama (which I had actually managed to catch with a Great Ball), Chingling, Didenne, and Staravia. I also started training my Pokémon again for the next gym. While training, my Wartortle evolved into Blastoise. Also, my Fletchinder evolved into Talonflame, and Braixen into Delphox.

I haven't finished training, but here is my Pokémon team as of tonight:
  • Delphox (Lv. 40)
  • Talonflame (Lv. 39)
  • Blastoise (Lv. 38)
  • Linoone (Lv. 36)
  • Pancham (Lv. 36)
I will be training some more before heading into the cave ahead.

I'm enjoying playing with my Pikachu in Pokémon Amie but it was stopping me from progressing so I put him back into his Pokéball and left for Parterre Way.
On the route I was able to catch Flabébé the Single Bloom Pokémon in three different colours; red, white and yellow.
With there being three gardeners on the route each owning a Corphish, my Bulbasaur was able to gain a decent amount of experience allowing her to evolve into Ivysaur!
As I was about to enter the connecting gate I was stopped by the Professor Sycamore's assistants Sina and Dexio, they told me about how Flabébé is a Fairy type Pokémon and how it has changed the type match up system, they also offered to show me to the Pokémon Lab in Lumiouse City not before giving me TM27 Return.

Upon entering the city Sina went towards the lab asking me to follow her, first I headed to the Pokémon Center to heal up my Pikachu and Ivysaur. I also went to get myself a hair cut although it looked exactly the same, only lighter in colour. I went inside the lab and was told the Professor is waiting for me upstairs, I entered the lift and when the door opened, the Professor was there to greet me, finally we meet. He asked to see my Pokédex so that he could evaluate it, 32 Pokémon so far which he seemed impressed with although the jingle I heard said otherwise. Just then Serena and Shauna appeared which led Professor Sycamore to suggest that we all have a Pokémon battle and that he shall be my opponent.
He used all three of the Kanto starters; Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle.. the latter I had no trouble against as both my Pokémon had a type advantage. Bulbasaur was eventually knocked out by Ivysaur since they're only level 10 and I asked Pikachu to deal with his Charmander. The Professor wanted to give me on of his Pokémon to take with me on my journey and I promptly chose Charmander and added him to my team. I was also given the Charizardite Y but planned on allowing my Charmander hold another item, the Charizardite X as he was a Jolly nature.
Tierno and Trevor arrived late to the party and the Professor then told us the reason why we were chosen, to discover the mysteries surrounding mega-evolution.
Before leaving the lab to heal up, Sina introduced me to Lysandre the head of Lysandre Labs.
Serena also wanted to meet in Caf
é Soleil.

I've started my journey with my friends Jan 15. My name is Muse and so far I've been taking it slow after leaving my friends, who call me 'The Soloist', I continued the genesis of my journey by collecting my 1st badge, going out with Shauna in some rich guy's mansion, planting a bunch of berries, ranking up in some rich society training mansion, and catching them all as usual. Last night I conquered the 2nd gym, evolved the 2nd half of my team and right now I am chasing Team Flare through the town of stones but I think I've lost track of them.

Greninja (Hopsin) Lvl 37
Combusken Lvl34

Meowstic (Raven) Lvl 32

Pokemon I've left:

While doing some training inside Glittering Cave, my Burmy evolved into a Mothim!

“Mothim, the Moth Pokémon, and the evolved form of a male Burmy. Mothim flutter around at night. They love the honey of flowers and steal honey collected by Combee.”

106. Mothim

Then, back at the Pokémon Center, I rotated my Pokémon again and took Audino, Burmy(3), Pancham, Seviper, and Spoink with me.

Cubone took part in some more Super Training regimens, earning awards for all 3 levels of all 6 categories. Next time, we’ll try out some of the Super Secret Training regimens.

January 8, 2014

I trained my team when I could the last few days, then this morning rotated in Gulpin, Panpour, Scraggy, Inkay, and Absol. I did extensive training with them in Glittering Cave, and then returned to the Pokémon Center. That finally marks the end of the current rotation. Though there are plenty of Coastal Kalos Pokémon I haven’t trained yet, I’m anxious to win my second gym badge, so I’m turning my attention to that!

I thought about which Pokémon I want to bring with me to the gym. I decided from here on out, I want to use new Kalos Pokémon only in the gyms, with an exception made for my partner Pokémon Cubone. So, with that in mind, I explored my options. Fletchinder, Vivillon and Litleo are poor match-ups for a rock-type gym. Skiddo and Floette know some grass-type attacks, so they might do well. Pancham and Honedge have type resistance to rock. Bunnelby has both ground and fighting-type attacks it can use. Furfrou, Espurr, Spritzee, Swirlix, and Inkay have neutral coverage. I haven’t trained at all with Binacle, Helioptile, Tyrunt, or Amaura. Ok! Seems like an easy choice. Skiddo, Floette, Pancham, Honedge, Bunnelby, and Cubone it is!

So I took the team into the Cyllage City Gym or some practice matched, and I battled a trainer there that had a Relicanth! I haven’t seen that Pokémon in a very long time.

“Relicanth, the Longevity Pokémon. Relicanth are rare Pokémon that were discovered during a deep-sea exploration. They have not changed in over 100 million years.”

January 9, 2014

I went back to the Cyllage Gym to train some more for my gym battle. I found a hiker who battled me with his Roggenrola. I battled it with my Bunnelby, who won with a combination of its Double Kick and Mud Shot attacks. And after winning, my Bunnelby started to evolve! Who’s that Pokémon? And… did its ears just grow their own arms?

“Roggenrola, the Mantle Pokémon. Roggenrola were discovered a hundred years ago in an earthquake fissure. They have an ear that is hexagonal shape. Compressed underground, their bodies are as hard as steel. Inside each one is an energy core.”

“Diggersby, the Digging Pokémon, and the evolved form of Bunnelby. Diggersby are as powerful as excavators. Their ears can reduce dense bedrock to rubble, and they can heft boulders of a ton or more with ease. These qualities make them a big help at constructions sites. When they are finished digging, they lounge lazily.”


107. Diggersby

Cool… and it also gains ground-type, giving it even more of an advantage in this rock-type gym! I then battled a few more trainers, and one of them had a Nosepass.

“Nosepass, the Compass Pokémon. Nosepass have magnetic noses that draw iron objects to their body to protect themselves better. The nose consistently faces north. Travelers use this feature to get their bearings.”

Grant said he was ready to challenge me, so I stopped in at the Pokémon Center to have Nurse Joy treat my Pokémon. Then I chose the two Pokémon I would be battling with, and returned to the gym.

I did as Serena asked and met her at Café Soleil where Lysandre was talking to a woman called Diantha about her acting career, they left shortly after.
Serena wanted us to compete against each other but didn't want a Pokémon battle at this moment in time.
I was on Route 5 where I caught myself a Pancham and Skiddo and decided to spend a while inside wonder trade. I eventually got myself a Squirtle and added the little guy to my party.
I did a little more training allowing my Charmander to evolve!

It wasn't long before I arrived at Camphrier Town and rested up at the Pokémon Center before visiting Shabboneau Castle, it seems Shauna had the same idea.
We were being given the short tour before someone rushed the tour guide away to Route 7.
Shauna suggested we should go there too.. I got side tracked upon entering the Berry Field where I was given a job and started planting my own berries. Pushing on I ran towards the crowd standing around a sleeping Snorlax, apparently this was a usual problem for the people in town. One person claimed we needed the Poké Flute to wake it up and it was in the possession of the owner living in Parfum Palace. Of course Shauna volunteered us both to go and retrieve the flute.. I went up Route 6 leading to the palace main gate where the toll was 1,000 poké dollars!

Once inside, the owner was frantic with worry over losing his beloved Pokémon, Furfrou. I looked all over the palace trying to find it and never thought to check the back garden where it had wondered off to.. Shauna and I got to witness the owner's fireworks display before asking for the Poké Flute.

So I've already beaten the Elite Four and have decided to complete the pokedex, I have seen three hundred and thirty eight pokemon so far and instead of catching whatever I see I have decided to catch every Kanto Pokemon first so today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my pokemon adventure. So first off I sorted my boxes out and labelled all the boxes 1-30, 31-60 and so forth. I then went on to place every pokemon I have in the correct order that was in the kanot dex, I have a spare box for other pokemon. So one rule is that I need to have one copy of every pokemon so right now I have a charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, Squirtle, Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Weedle and well it goes on. I started off by catching three caterpie's then deposited one of them and went over to the Pokemon Village to grind them up, it only took two battles and pressing the B button once but it got me the Metapod and the Butterfree which is nice. I then traded with Kanzler to get myself a charmander since breeding one would take too long. I also went on to catch a Pidey in route 2. I had a bit of trouble catching one particular caterpie that took 8 pokeballs to catch... not much fun. I finished the night trying to catch another dodou but I think breeding is the only option.

So today I bred my sandshrew so i can get a Sandslash and I bred my jiggkyouff for the igglybuff and jigglypuff part. I wondertraded a bit to find some good Kanto pokemon but all I got was a cubone which I will breed later on today. I caught a magcargo and slugma today mainly so breeding becomes quicker. I am trying to get some squirtles and bulbasaurs but so far I have yet to get them. I also can't find a thunder stone to evolve one of my pikachu's so that's the next thing on my list.

I beat the game!

The ending was very emotional. It was nice to see AZ reunite with his Floette.

Also nice that everyone's efforts were recognized in the end. Makes me feel a little better after seeing Serena's disappointment every time I beat her. I wanted to throw a match to please her, but doing this doesn't advance the story, so it's useless. :(

The battles... I don't have much to say, because they were very easy. My Pokémon were nearly L80 by the time I reached Diantha so even she didn't pose much of a threat. I'd have hoped for more Elite Four development but hey, RBY and RSE barely had any development at all and people don't mind... Diantha is a cool character, although I didn't like her team very much... Cynthia still has the best Champion team in the series.

Another nice thing is that Shauna trades you a starter depending on the Pokémon you chose. Since it's a trade, she wants something in return. Even though I'd never see the Pokémon again, I wanted it to be meaningful so I had a hard time choosing. In the end I just gave her a Flabébé since it was the first Pokémon I caught (I think) and fits well with the romantical theme between the protagonist and Shauna (I TOTALLY shipped them after the fireworks scene).

I have no idea what I'm gonna do now... I think I'll visit the previously closed areas first and catch Zygarde before I start collecting Pokémon for my Pokédex.

February 1, 2014 --

Just got finished training my teaming up for the night! I stumbled across Nidorina on Route 11, and caught her in a couple tries. I also did a sky battle up on the mountain. My Talonflame almost got creamed because of Staravia's Retaliate; I was essentially relieved that it hung on! And finally, I explored a little in Reflection Cave and battled Backpacker Lane, who stares at the mirror all day and apparently does not want to leave the cave for some weird reason. Ohhh brother, some of the nuts I run across.

Here is the status of my team:
  • Delphox (Lv. 42)
  • Talonflame (Lv. 41)
  • Blastoise (Lv. 40)
  • Linoone (Lv. 39)
  • Pancham (Lv. 39)
From the way it looks, my Pokémon are pumped up for the next gym! I'll be looking forward to it next week. But for now, I am going to stay in Geosenge Town, still shaking my head at the Backpacker who does not want to leave a cave.

What a great friend! :D

Today I just leveled up my team a tad bit more (my team is on my trainer card). I LOVE wifi battles and that's what I mostly do when I'm online.

I spent some time in Lumoise getting BP at the battle institute, I love that place!

My Nincada evolved and got Ninjask and Sheninja and was so confused till my friend told me what went down. I think I'll train Sheninja after the league since it sounds like a pokemon that can be good but you need to train well

Cyllage Gym Challenge
Vs. Grant


I was out of breath when I finally reached the top of the rock-climbing wall that led to Grant. Despite that, I couldn’t help but notice how awesome the waterfall right behind this peak looked and sounded.

“I’ve been waiting in eager anticipation!” Grant called over to me. “What have I been waiting for? For a worthy challenger to appear!”

I was still huffing and puffing when I responded. “Hold… hold on. I need to catch my breath…”

“It’s quite an achievement to have climbed all the way up here,” complimented Grant. “Very impressive, actually!”

I then regained my composure and took my place on the battlefield. “Ok! I’ve been waiting to have another gym battle in Kalos!”

“I have a feeling that our battle will turn out to be worth the wait!” The gym leader readied his first Poké Ball. “I hope you’ll show me that your skill as a trainer surpasses even mine.”

The referee took his position and called out the usual rules. It’s a two on two battle, and only I can substitute. The battle is over when either of us loses with both Pokémon.

Grant cracked his neck and sent out his first Pokémon. “Amaura, let’s go!”

“Hey, that’s one of the fossil Pokémon!” I immediately recognized it as one of the Pokémon I had restored from a fossil. “Rock and ice, huh? Cubone, maximize!”

My shiny Pokémon took the field, and turned its head to look at me. We nodded at each other in understanding.

“That is an outstanding Cubone you have there,” the gym leader stated. “I can sense the bond you have with it. I can’t wait to see how you battle together.”

“You won’t have to wait long,” I said. “Cubone, Rock Smash, let’s go!”

Cubone changed in and landed the doubly super-effective hit, and down went Amaura!

“Amaura is unable to battle,” the judge called. “Cubone wins!”

“Amaura, return,” Grant called back his Pokémon. “Impressive, your Cubone knows a fighting-type move, well done. Now try this. Tyrunt, come out!”

Ah, I should have figured. The other fossil Pokémon. But this one is rock and dragon, so I’ll have to approach it a little differently.

“Cubone, return, awesome job out there!” I tossed my next Poké Ball. “Time to check out my newly evolved Pokémon! Diggersby, maximize!”

You know, looking at Tyrunt, it reminds me of Megatron from the 90s Beast Wars series. But I digress.

“Diggersby, use Mud Shot!” My Pokémon shoveled balls of mud at its opponent.

“Tyrunt, dodge and use Bite!” It failed to dodge the Mud Shot, but it did land the Bite attack.

“Now, while it’s in close,” I commanded. “Use Double Kick!”

Diggersby landed two super-effective hits with its large ears, knocking Tyrunt back.

“Your Diggersby is quick,” said Grant. “Tyrunt, slow it down with Rock Tomb!”

A barrage of rocks was trying to surround Diggersby to keep it from moving. But it was successfully getting around the obstacle!

“Great job, Diggersby! Finish this with Mud Shot!” And that was all she wrote.

“Tyrunt is unable to battle,” the judge called. “Diggersby wins! The winner of the gym match is Steve the challenger!”

“You have proven to be a wall that I am unable to surmount!” Grant recalled his fallen Pokémon. “Return, Tyrunt, you did great, but this challenger climbed higher than us today.”

I recalled my Pokémon as well, and stepped off the battlefield. Grant met me near the exit.

“There are some things that seem out of reach no matter how hard you try,” the gym leader advised me. “However, it’s important that you never give up, no matter the opponent or the odds. I can tell from our battle that you and your Pokémon understand that. To commemorate such an impressive show of teamwork, please accept the Cliff Badge!”

I did it! I won my second gym badge, the Cliff Badge! Oh, interesting, it looks like a miniature rock climbing wall.

“Think about how you can improve yourself, as well as the Pokémon that are always by your side,” Grant continued. “When you find the answer, that’s when you’ll truly be able to smile!”

“Actually, I do have an idea of how my Pokémon and I can improve, so I have a request,” I started to ask. “Learning a rock-type move would help with type-coverage. Do you think you could teach my Cubone how to use Rock Tomb?”

“I would be honored,” Grant said, accepting my request.

...I did not expect seeing my CSS above. :/

I transferred my Black version team and tried out the Elite 4, but they were too under leveled. So instead, I ran through the Elite 4 using my Y version team. My Talonflame finally made it to level 100, and he's the second Pokemon to do so, after my starter Typhlosion in Gold version.

Noivern (Dark Knight) Lvl 42
Meowstic (Raven) Lvl 45
Lucario Lvl 36

I was trying to take this journey slowly but it's so easy to level up and clear badges so first of all, I stopped training. Next, I cleared badges 3-5 all in 4 hours time. It's really a blur so all I remember is defeating Team Flare and making my friend Serena feel bad after losing to me for the 3rd time today. Hopefully she'll be able to get a mega stone too because as her friend our battles are completely one sided. Shauna seems to be second guessing herself these days. She says she's traveling for the memories but I feel like she's looking for more. I'll train a bit on route 14 but just til I get to 50.

I can't forget to give credit to Gardevior and Charmeleon for helping me beat Korrina, the 2 of them and Raven did great. Plus Lucario decided to come along with me and join the team. You can never have too many megas.

As for old man Ramos: Slyveon, Blaziken and Noibat taught him not to mess with the family. Nice gym though it was fun.

In Clemont's gym I wish I got the questions wrong so I could battle more but I was in a hurry; I hate Limiose City it's too big for no reason. Special thanks to Slyveon, Lucario, and Blaziken for that match.

Hopsin's been getting bored because he hasn't led a gym team since the major battle with Grant, who's gym trainers knock out my Raven the last time we met, let's just say Hopsin's looking for the same drive he had then.

Sorry for the long post, but this will finally bring me up to date!

January 10, 2014

With my second badge in hand, it’s time to start a new rotation of Pokémon for training. Yikes, looks like I’ll need to take out 16 groups of six! First up will be Pansear, Mawile, Oddish(2), Diggersby, Amaura, and Mienfoo. I’m going to give Cubone a break for a bit while it works on Rock Tomb.

January 11, 2014

Shortly after midnight, I left Cyllage City to explore Route 10, called Menhir Trail. A trainer there battled me with his Solosis.

“Solosis, the Cell Pokémon. Solosis drive away attackers by unleashing psychic power. They can use telepathy to talk to others. Because their bodies are enveloped in a special liquid, they are fine in any environment, no matter how severe.”

Right after that, I saw a familiar Pokémon nearby, a Snubbull! I remember them being fairly rare, so I quickly caught it.

“Snubbull, the Fairy Pokémon. Snubbull have active, playful natures. Though many women find them cute, small Pokémon tend to flee from their scary faces.”

108. Snubbull

Huh, looks like not only is Snubbull the Fairy Pokémon in terms of species, but it’s also been identified as a fairy-type. Makes sense. It’s pretty late (or early, depending how you look at it), so I decided to get some sleep.

It’s a very rainy, dreary day, but at least it’s not cold or snowing! This afternoon I went back to Menhir Trail, and found some more familiar Pokémon. I caught an Electrike, which I haven’t had since the Hoenn region, and a Nosepass from a horde soon after.

109. Electrike

110. Nosepass

As I was walking through the flowers, I saw an Emolga glide overhead. Then I saw a Sigilyph! I tried to catch it, but it used Whirlwind to get away. I forgot about that.

“Emolga, the Sky Squirrel Pokémon. Emolga live on treetops. The energy made in their cheeks’ electric pouches is stored inside their membranes. They glide using the inside of this cape-like membrane while discharging electricity.”

“Sigilyph, the Avianoid Pokémon. Sigilyph were guardians of ancient cities. They always fly the same route while keeping watch for invaders, and use their psychic power to attack enemies that invade their territory.”


Just when I was getting ready to wrap things up, I ran into a wild Eevee! Well, here we go again. Mawile and Oddish battled it, and I caught it in a Net Ball. Just a few steps later, I saw another one! This time I caught it in a Quick Ball. Two down, five to go. Although I thought I heard rumor of a new evolution for Eevee, so maybe I’ll need to catch eight?

111. Eevee

January 18, 2014

I found a Pokémon egg among the trees of Menhir Trail, and soon after it hatched into a Houndour!

112. Houndour

I also found another Eevee, this time catching it in a Timer Ball.

Later that evening, I went back out again and caught three more Eevee, in a Luxury Ball, Dusk Ball, and Nest Ball. Then I stumbled upon a familiar ghost-type Pokémon, a Golett! I quickly caught it.

“Golett, the Automaton Pokémon. Golett were fashioned from clay by an ancient science. They have been active for thousands of years. The energy that burns inside them enables them to move, but no one has yet been able to identify this energy.”

113. Golett

After that I found a seventh Eevee, and caught this one in a Dive Ball. That makes one for each of its known evolutions. Then I saw a new Pokémon. It looked like a hawk, but stood on two human-like legs, and looked like it was wearing a mask. What the heck is it?

“Hawlucha, the Wrestling Pokémon. Hawlucha control their positions in the air with their wings. They like to attack from above, a maneuver that is difficult to defend against. Although their bodies are small, their proficient fighting skills enable it to keep up with big bruisers like Machamp and Hariyama.”

Cool, a flying and fighting-type combo. That’s an interesting mix! I missed the first one I saw, but I immediately found another one that I was able to catch.

114. Hawlucha

I then found another Eevee. Since I heard it might have a new evolution, I figured I catch it in a Premier Ball, since it’s the premier of a new evolution. Ok, that and it was the only other ball I hadn’t used yet.

For the last catch of the evening, I found a horde of Yanma, and caught one of them that clearly had the ability Speed Boost.

“Yanma, the Clear Wing Pokémon. Yanma flap their wings really fast, generating shock waves that will shatter windows in the area. Their eyes can see 360 degrees without moving their heads. They won’t miss prey, even if prey is behind them.”


115. Yanma

January 19, 2014

I had a Pokémon battle in the morning against a trainer who used some familiar evolved Pokémon on her team.

“Skiploom, the Cottonweed Pokémon, and the evolved form of Hoppip. Skiploom spread their petals to absorb sunlight. They float in the air to get closer to the sun. The blooms on the tops of their heads open and close as the temperature fluctuates up and down.”

“Azumarill, the Aquarabbit Pokémon, and the evolved form of Marill. Azumarill have long ears that are superb sensors. They can distinguish the movements of living things on riverbeds. The bubble-like patterns on their stomachs help them camouflage themselves when they’re in the water.”


Shortly after the battle, I was able to catch an elusive Emolga!

116. Emolga

After a bit more training, I returned to the Pokémon Center and rotated my team for Sandile, Panpour, Burmy (1), Skitty, Pidgeotto, and Croagunk.

I went back out to train, and it wasn’t long before my Burmy evolved into a plant cloak Wormadam!

“Wormadam, the Bagworm Pokémon, and the evolved form of a female Burmy. Wormadam have a different appearance depending on where they evolve. The materials on hand become a part of their bodies. Unlike Burmy, these cloaks are never shed.”

I wanted to test out its Hidden Power, and I immediately learned what type it was. We encountered a group of Electrike, and most of them absorbed the Hidden Power due to their Lightningrod ability. Guess my Wormadam’s Hidden Power is electric-type!

I then tried to catch a Sigilyph. Several, actually. But they kept blowing us away with Whirlwind!

I took my Cubone to the Hotel in Ambrette Town where it was given the Alert Ribbon. That makes two ribbons for it. Then I returned to Menhir Trail, and continued my search for a Sigilyph. I found one, and had Sandile weaken it a bit. A Poké Ball didn’t work, so I tried a Great Ball, and so I finally caught a Sigilyph! Between Whirlwind and apparently a low catch rate, that was a bit challenging.

Over the course of the week, I trained my team, and then once the weekend hit I rotated out my Pokémon. I had Solrock, Audino, Illumise, Marill, Inkay, and Wingull sent to me.

January 28, 2014

I explored more of the Menhir Trail, training my Pokémon among the odd standing stones that were prominent on in the area. Suddenly I ran into a familiar face. It was the Team Flare guy I battled back in the Glittering Cave. He still had his Houndour, but he also had a Golbat he battled me with. He was apparently up to something, but after I defeated him he received a message on his Holo Caster and he scurried off.

“Golbat, the Bat Pokémon, and the evolved form of Zubat. Golbat fly at night in search of prey. Once they bite, they will not stop draining energy from their victims even if they get too heavy to fly.”

I found a few more Team Flare grunts skulking around the strange stones, and also battled a trainer who had a Pokémon I haven’t seen yet in Kalos, a Pachirisu.

“Pachirisu, the EleSquirrel Pokémon. Pachirisu make fur balls that crackle with static electricity. They store them with berries in tree holes. A pair may be seen rubbing their cheek pouches together in an effort to share stored electricity.”

I then arrived in a place called Geosenge Town. I stopped by the Pokémon Center there to rest my Pokémon. Before I explore this new town, I decided to backtrack a bit to do some other things. I hopped on my bike and crossed through Connecting Cave to return to Camphrier Town. I picked up my Cubone and stopped in the hotel in the town. A woman who was watching my Cubone train awarded it a Shock Ribbon. That makes three ribbons for my Cubone.

Next I went over to the nearby Battle Chateau to do some extra training there.

January 30, 2014

I did some more training at the Battle Chateau, and battled many trainers, several who used some familiar evolved Pokémon.

“Machoke, the Superpower Pokémon, and the evolved form of Machop. Machoke can lift dump trucks with one hand. Their muscular bodies are so powerful, they must wear a power-save belt to be able to regulate their motions. Using that power, they help people with heavy jobs.”

“Fraxure, the Axe Jaw Pokémon, and the evolved form of Axew. Fraxure have tusks that can shatter rocks. Territory battles between them can be intensely violent. A broken tusk will not grow back, so they diligently sharpen their tusks on river rocks after the end of a battle.”

“Loudred, the Big Voice Pokémon, and the evolved form of Whismur. Loudred stamp their feet to power up. They shout loudly by inhaling air, and then use their well-developed stomach muscles to exhale. The shock waves from their cries can tip over trucks.”


After that, I returned to Geosenge Town, and rotated my Pokémon at the Pokémon Center. I had Skiddo, Combee, Seviper, Axew, Honedge, and Froakie sent over to me.

During a short training session today, my Combee evolved into Vespiquen!

“Vespiquen, the Beehive Pokémon, and the evolved form of a female Combee. Vespiquen house their colonies in cels in their bodies, as their abdomens are honeycombs for grubs. They release various pheromones to make those grubs do their bidding, and raise them on honey collected by Combee.”

After a long week of travel, bad weather, a car accident, arguments with friends and family, and overtime at work, I’m more than ready to log a good chunk of time just relaxing and doing some Pokémon training.

I spent a lot of time training my team just outside of Geosenge Town, and my Froakie started to evolve! It’s my first Kalos starter Pokémon evolution. I checked it out in the Pokédex.

“Frogadier, the Bubble Frog Pokémon, and the evolved form of Froakie. Frogadier have unparalleled swiftness and can scale a tower of more than 2,000 feet in a minute’s time. They can throw bubble-covered pebbles with precise control, hitting empty cans up to a hundred feet away.”

120. Frogadier

I eventually had six more Pokémon sent to me. I took Volbeat, Smeargle, Burmy(3), Rhyhorn, Fletchinder, and Dunsparce to the Battle Chateau. While I was battling there, my Burmy evolved into a trash cloak Wormadam! I used it in a few more battles and eventually figured out its Hidden Power to be water-type. Other than that, I primarily battled with Fletchinder, since it’s the newest Pokémon to me.

I spent a long while training that team, then returned to the Pokémon Center in Geosenge Town. I had Squirtle, Psyduck, Ledyba, Plusle, Hippopotas, and Kadabra sent to me, and then turned in for the night.

February 9, 2014

I did a lot of exploring around Geosenge Town. I had yet to really see all the magnificent stone structures that the town was famous for. I stopped to listen to a guide who was explaining some of the history of the town and some of the theories behind the mysterious stones. I stopped to take a picture in front of the large triple stone formation in the middle of town.

Then I spotted a Team Flare grunt heading down a path behind the town. I tried to follow him, but he detected me rather quickly. He screamed something about using the stones on Route 10 to give more power to Team Flare. Then he dashed down the path. Serena showed up too, and we both pursued the grunt. We reached a dead end where there was another huge stone structure, and apparently the grunt had got away.

Figuring there was nothing more I could do, I went back to exploring the town. I walked through Hotel Marine Snow, where I found the guide from earlier, and she explained more of the history of Geosenge Town and the mysterious stones. I talked to as many of the townspeople as I could. Then I ran into Korrina, the gym leader I met back on Route 5! She said one of her Lucario detected that I was nearby, the same one that was drawn to me a few months ago. She then challenged me to a battle against both her Lucario. Unfortunately, she beat all six of my Pokémon, as I was greatly unprepared for the steel and fighting-type powerhouses. They also used a move I never saw before called Power-Up Punch, which increased their attack power with every hit. I told her I’d be back to challenge her with different Pokémon, so I rushed my wounded Pokémon to the Pokémon Center to rest and recover.

February 12, 2014

I contacted Cassius in Camphrier Town and asked him to send me two of my Pokémon. I sent him back Ledyba and Squirtle and he sent me my Cubone and Vivillon. I found Korrina and challenged her to a rematch. It was Cubone and Vivillon against her pair of Lucario.

“Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, and the evolved form of Riolu. Lucario can read the aura of all things. By catching the aura emanating from others, they can read their thoughts and movements. They can tell how others are feeling from over half a mile away.”

Her first Lucario was no match for my Cubone’s Bonemerang, and my Vivillon had a great type match-up against her second Lucario and slowly wore it down until we won. She seemed impressed, and reminded me that she was the Shalour City Gym Leader. She said that if I wanted to have an official gym battle, to meet her in Shalour City, which was a short distance away from Geosenge Town. I looked at my map and saw that the city was further up along the coast, but Korrina suggested a better path would be through nearby Reflection Cave at the end of Route 11. She also gave me an egg she was caring for, explaining that it would hatch into a fighting-type Pokémon that is rare in the area. She then left for Shalour City.

I stopped in Hotel Marine Snow with my Cubone, and we were approached by someone who saw our battle with Korrina. She said watching the battle lifted her spirits, and she awarded my Cubone the Downcast Ribbon. I felt this ribbon was very appropriate for me, as I have been feeling extremely down right now. But that does make four ribbons for Cubone.

I took a few steps out onto Route 11, which was also called Miroir Way. My egg then started to glow. It hatched into a Pokémon I haven’t seen in nearly a decade, from my travels in the Hoenn region. It was a Makuhita!

“Makuhita, the Guts Pokémon. Makuhita grow stronger by enduring harsh training. They toughen up by slamming into thick trees over and over. By doing this, they gain sturdy bodies and dauntless spirits and can withstand many attacks.”

121. Makuhita

It was late, so I stopped back at the Pokémon Center, sent Vivillon, Cubone, and Makuhita back to Camphrier Town, and had Squirtle and Ledyba sent back to me.
