Candela's Hoenn Journal: Day 7 & 8
Day 7:
I then proceeded to Route 118 and battle the trainers I've missed to level Lamiroir up. Lamiroir evolved into a Milotic during the process. Then I went ahead and challenge other trainers with Lamiroir in the lead to grab some exp, and Rock J to switch in for the attack. Sure he's only lv 22, but he's doing good so far.
I then went to save the Weather Institute. I switched the lead from Lamiroir to train Skywind, seeing that I want to evolve him before Fortree City. Poor thing fainted when battling against Tabitha, but Lamiroir managed to deal a OHKO against his Camerupt.
After picking up the Castform, I went to challenge May. Man, why is she so easy to beat? :|
Anyway, after the battle I went to defeat the Ninja boy near Fortree, giving Skywind the exp he needed to grow to level 35 and evolve.
After exploring Fortree City, I went to Route 120 to grab the Devon Scope. Defeated the Kecleon 'cause I had no use for it. Went back to Fortree's Gym to challenge it. Quick pretty much decimated the gym, what with Charge Beam giving him extra Sp.Attack he practically OHKO the whole gym.
And then I switched to Rock J at the front for training. Hurdling down Route 120 and Route 121, dodging as many trainers as I can just so I can reach Lilycove's Department store. Upon reaching Lilycove, I quickly healed and went on to challenge May again. And again, she's pretty easy to beat. I only had to use 2 Pokemon and they're underleveled as well. :/
Reaching Lilycove's Department Store, I rushed into the Elevator and went to the 5th floor, but Secret Base goods sold at the 5th floor wasn't the one I was after. It was the Clearance Sale! I wasted about 120k on the Clearance Sale alone, and bought more goods at the 5th floor, and then flew back to my Secret Base to redecorate.
After all that, I decided it's time to clear out the sea routes between Petalburg and Slateport, so I went ahead and flew to Route 104. Clearing the trainers of Route 104 'til 106, as well as a quick trip to Granite Cave, Rock J evolved so I switched to Lamiroir to train her. After clearing out the routes, I went back to Route 120 and Route 121 to battle the trainers I've missed.
Also, I explored Lilycove for a bit. It's nice to see a fan club for my Contest achievements.
Day 8:
Went to Mt. Pyre this time. I placed Skywind on the lead since he's the last one that is not fully evolved yet. It's nice to see the holes patched up, 'cause it was a hassle back at RSE. But in order to reach the outside areas of Mt. Pyre, we still need to climb up. *sigh*
Anyway, Skywind took out Team Magma residing at Mt. Pyre, and then we flew to Slateport to try and stop the Submarine thieves. Obviously, it didn't happen, so I rode a boat with Stern to Lilycove (yay shortcuts) and went to Team Magma's base. Skywind took out the base, and I swear that Trainer Horde is terribly weak. Oh well, at least I get to see Courtney again after that battle.
And since Skywind still needs more exp to level up, I went to Route 123's eastern side and trained down the ledge. Forgot to bring my HM slave, so I haven't completely cleared it yet. Oh well, at least he only needed one more Pokemon battle to evolve. A quick battle later, I finally get my Flygon. The team's shaping up quite well.
