Thank you. Sorry I haven't had a chance to upload since I've had some major medical issues going on in real life. I also have a question regarding sprites. To use them, can I just upload them onto Photobucket and use them as needed or do I need permission from Amethyst for that? (I won't have any sprites unfortunately until I know for sure. Better safe than sorry. ^^;; ) But in this episode, I cleared the Obsidia Ward, got a few new mons, leveled up and am now ready to take on Florinia. VS. PULSE Tangrowth.
Wren made that match quite easy for the most part. After she went down to a crit Acid Spray from Tangrowth, I sent out Charmeleon to use Dragon Rage and defeat it. I got a little cocky thinking Wren could take it down with any issues. When Obsidia returned to normal, I headed to the Coral Ward where I met a woman named Amaria and ran into Cain. Cain offered his Grimer to help a poor stranded Oshawott and bring it to safety. The water type became bonded with Cain so he made an exception and added it to his team. This led to a battle between Cain and I once more. VS. Cain
This battle itself wasn't that difficult. I had Charmeleon basically destroy everything with Ember or Dragon Rage. I had Seel come out and defeat the Oshawott though because he needed the levels.
When that battle was done, I went back up to the Obsidia park. I had to train Token up so I could get ice cream so I could gather my next teammate. That little jerk took 17 levels for ONE chocolate ice cream (Yet I grabbed Full Restores and Nuggets with no problem xD). Alas, it was enough to get the job done. So, with enough money and a desire to get a frosty treat, I SCOOPED my next teammate up from the ice cream machine. I also battled around the Onyx ward and grabbed the coin case to grab yet another teammate. I wasn't sure at first if all of that Voltorb flip would be worth it, but somehow, I was pleasantly surprised with my new Slugma. This meant a lot of grinding for my new mates and a long awaited beatdown for Fern. VS. Fern
Wren once again dominated this fight along with my Vulpix and Charmeleon. I now see why Sneasel isn't available early on in-game. It's either that or Fern really must suck. I pick the latter option. But, I went back to heal and grabbed some more healing items then I went onto face Florinia. Vs. Florinia
I started off with Vanillite just to get rid of Maractus. Mist and Icy Wind destroyed it. Then it came to Ferroseed, Cacnea and Cottonee being taken down by Vulpix and Charmeleon respectively. Breloom and Cradily were a challenge for some reason. Sneasel got destroyed by a smack down from Cradily, but I had to switch into Vulpix for a burn from Will O Wisp before switching back to Charmeleon. Charmeleon had to deal with some heal spam before dragon rage took it down. This was my hardest battle thus far in this run and I earned the next badge.
Afterwards, I cleared the Jasper Ward and the nearing forest (is it Rhindocrine?). I couldn't find any new encounters there, but a certain trainer's Chatot saved me from being trapped by a cage made by Nuzleaf. I was not getting on my knees to please Fern. I don't care how much he wants me it to happen. Then I battled Taka once again and another Tangrowth. VS. Taka
Strategy: Wren one shots basically everything except Lileep and Tangrowth. I loved obliterating Chatot way more than I should admit. xD But I used my Seel and Vanillite to take out Lileep and used my Slugma to help take a hit from Tangrowth. I have no idea how Slugma won that battle but it became the MVP. But yay Incinerate? XD Once I cleared out Jasper, I headed to Beryl Ward. I finished up most of it so I could get the Policeman saved (and the Growlithe). Unfortunately, my mystery egg didn't end up Larvesta but a Phantump. I'm alright with that though, and I rescued Litleo from Klingklang. For now, I'm training a bit for the upcoming battles. I'll feature those and the 3rd gym leader in the next post! Current Team:
