[cyndaqwilfish:)]

I went to Dewford in order to face Brawly, and faced all of the trainers around there, including the gym. After being unable to beat Brawly after FIVE TIMES I just went through the cave without flash. When I delivered the letter to Steven, he gave me a useless tm and then I went to Slateport to train. While there, I caught an Oddish that I named Violet. After training a lot, I went back to Dewford and beat Brawly. Two of my Pokemon, Lily and Blade, evolved afterwards. After beating Brawly I faced the Trick Master and defeated all of the trainers inside and around the outside. I went to Mauville and beat Wattson easily, and Lily evolved when facing him. My team:
