Today has been awesome! But very tedious. First off, I must have spent like an hour and a half levelling up my Pokemon. -_- Got them all to Lv. 40 through Vs. Seeker, and my Ponyta evolved into an awesome RAPIDASH! :D I was so happy. :) After that I had to get the rest of them up to the same level. Leveled them all up and went to the Hearthome Gym. :D
I decided which Pokes I'd use the most in battle. Misdreavus, with her mix of Psychic, Ghost and Dark type moves, was going to be very useful. Luxray, with his Bite and Crunch, would also be helpful if Misdreavus fell. To give them an advantage, I answered all the math questions wrong to fight the other trainers in the Gym. Did that, getting Luxray to Lv. 42 and Misdreavus to Lv. 41! Headed for Fantina after healing up, and the battle began! First out was her Driflblim. Misdreavus took it out with Shadow Ball, but Aftermath bought her HP down a bit. Out next was her highest Pokemon, Mismagius. Misdreavus was no match and was in the yellow before long. I decided to call out Luxray. He used Crunch to take out Mismagius, but he was also hit. :( Fantina's final Pokemon was Gengar! Luxray took it out with Crunch, (Bite was replaced with Thunder Fang). The Relic Badge is mine!
With Fantina defeated, I left the Gym where Cynthia met me. She thanked me for visiting her grandmother in Celestic Town, and told me to head to Canalave City. None of my Pokemon could learn Surf, so I got out a Bibarel I had caught in the Great Marsh. Surfed over there, and did a couple of battles. I got to Canalave safely, healed my Pokemon and headed across the bridge. But then, my rival Damion appeared! I knew I was ready for this battle...so we battled!
His first Pokemon was his Staravia. Torterra struggled against it, so I sent out Luxray, who tried to use Thunder Fang. However, it missed twice, and Staravia did a lot of damage to him. I turned to Thunder, which took out Staravia immediately. His next Pokemon was a Heracross. Out came my new Rapidash, taking him out with a Fire Blast. He called on his starter, Monferno. My Staraptor was sent out. He used Close Combat to destroy him! Up next was his Buizel. Torterra finished him off with a Razor Leaf. His final Pokemon was Roselia. I hadn't used Toxicroak or Misdreavus in this battle...Misdreavus was the second-highest leveled Pokemon, so I chose Toxicroak, currently the lowest who needed some EXP! He went against Roselia, who used Leech Seed and Toxic Spikes. Toxicroak used Dig, getting Roselia's HP down to 1 or 2! Roselia used Giga Drain, taking down my Toxicroak's health again. :( I used Dig again, but when I resurfaced, she had Giga Drain'd my Toxicroak into the red! I thought I was a goner, so I called on Brick Break. Although not very effective, Toxicroak just managed a victory! Damion was defeated, and I was victorious :D He told me he would become the Pokemon League Champion (pfft, as if) and told me to battle Byron. I wanted to be a Lv. 45 before I entered his Gym, so I decided to catch a boat to Iron Island. :) I arrived, and saved my game. My team had been through enough for one day. After Christmas, training with Riley shall commence! :D
