Thanks for the comment! It's nice to know people actually read these things. I'm a little behind, but I'm trying to catch up. Really want to start digging into Pokemon Ranger 2, but I'm not letting myself do so until I complete the Sinnoh Dex and beat the Elite Four. In that order.
October 29 – November 2, 2008
Eight badges. I can't believe I finally have all eight Sinnoh gym badges! I know I'm close to completing my journey!
I switched up my team a bit, taking Bastiodon, Wormadam(grass), Azumarill, Luxray, and Pikachu with me. I spent a lot of time training Pikachu in the waters off the shore of Sunyshore City.

I finally finished training the above mentioned team, roaming Sinnoh and rechallenging trainers. Just as we were packing it in, Pikachu found a little yellow stone near the coastline. It was a Thunderstone! Pikachu evolved into Raichu.
140. Raichu
I decided to take my team to Poketopia and compete in the next Waterfall Colosseum challenge. They were double battles, so partner pairing was important. Raichu and Barboach made a good pair, since Barboach was immune if Raichu used Discharge. My Wormadam also did very well defensively. Luxray was a powerful offensive force. Azumarill's Rollout came in handy more than once too. It all came down to the last battle though, between my Bastiodon and the Colosseum leader's Gligar. Man, that was a long battle, but Bastiodon eventually knocked out the Gligar.
Not having my fill of challenges, I entered Barboach in a Master contest in Hearthome. It did well, but I just don't have enough accessories to score well in round 1. So we lost, but it was good to see what kind of challege a Master contest will be.

Back in Sunyshore, I took different pokemon with me. New team: Lumineon, Wormadam(ground), Gyarados, and Floatzel, along with my two shiny pokemon Barboach and Golbat. No more wasting time. It's time to go to the Pokemon League.

My pokemon and I Surfed north from Sunyshore, battling trainers we met in the water. Water-type versus water-type matches can be pretty tough, but it was valuable experience. Finally, we hit a large waterfall, just like Jasmine said we would.
"Lumineon, Gyarados, Floatzel, Barboach, I choose all of you!" I sent them all into the water. The four pokemon working together was more than enough to pull us up the flowing water. At the top of the waterfall was a Pokemon Center. Next to it was the enterance to a cave with a sign in front of it: "Victory Road".
After 1 year and 7 months of journeying in Sinnoh, I've reached Victory Road.
