Update #17 - Johto 8/16
Took another large break, this time I stopped in the Ice Path and about three months later I got the Rising Badge. As I expected, Clair wouldn't be too easy to beat because exp is spread thin and I have nothing effective against her.

Hidden Power
-: I believe I had to fight the Team Rocket admins at Goldenrod before entering the Ice Path? I did that.
-: From what little I remember, the Houndoom was an incredible obstacle, the only reason I beat it was because of some luck regarding Berserker and Brick Break. I might have used some Rare Candies to attempt to get Berserker to outspeed Houndoom but ultimately luck won that battle.
-: Stopped at the Ice Path and later continued at the Ice Path.
-: Fought Claire. Minagawa and Berserker took care of Gyarados, Berserker and Takumi took care of the Dragonair's and Takechiyo was the true MVP against Kingdra by making it fall asleep allowing me to heal my team up after they had all been destroyed by Hydro Pump. Takumi ended up defeating Kingdra but Takechiyo really won it for me.
-: Completed that quiz and recieved the Rising Badge.
