http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-248206201 No one ever expects Exploud to be used anywhere http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-248210427 Much less as a special sweeper.

You only got the more gyms before you get there, but you won't be able to revive them. And the best ability is Slow Start.

Machines: Electric and Steel.

We can't go back there until we use Fly to go back to the city, which is doing to happen next episode. So pre-Agate areas are not fully functional.

Victorious Yorick pls.

No idea how long I'm going to be keeping Munna on the team in general. Right now it's only here because it was available early on, but there are a lot of better Pokemon that I will be allowed to use in not too long. A few Ghost types, Gothita line, and hoping to Arceus I'll get a Phantump from the Mystery Egg.

I'm going to get the Mystery Egg soon. I will trade whatever I get from that for any Phantump. Don't care about IV/EV's, just need the actual Pokemon for my run and below level 39 if possible. Many thanks if someone will be willing to do this when I get the egg.

Log 4: Feeling boxed in My battle with Julia led me to gain some notoriety, as there were more trainers on the the bridge around the Grand Hall looking for a fight. Naturally, my partners were all able to handle them. Who would've thought a single badge would become that well known? My work at the factory also helped to prove our skill. Previously there had been two police officers preventing access to the Obsidia Ward in the East. Florinia, impressed by my efforts (although she showed no feeling about it), asked me to assist with the wild flora outbreak that was occurring. It seems that somehow, plants were growing rapidly throughout the ward, destroying streets, buildings, and any humans that lay in their path. This situation seems like it would be out of a B-list super hero movie, but it feels obvious that it is the work of Team Meteor. How this happened is still unclear to myself and Florinia. The rapid growth of the plants proved really harmful to the infrastructure of the land. According to Florinia, the source of the plant outbreak is in the park. However, the main road to it, as well as several buildings surrounding the road, was completely destroyed. Nothing remained but vines and a gaping hole into the old railnet. The only way through appeared to be through the slums to the south. Victoria met me there, although this hardly proved a surprise. She wanted to test me, make sure I would be able to safely traverse the sea of trash. As such, she challenged me to a battle. The poor girl. She has a good heart, but her team was all muscle, no brain. She stood no chance and was quickly taken care of, thus granting me passage into the a place no sane person would ever go. Whether I am brave, insane, or stupid is yet to be determined. And I had thought the Peridot Ward was disgusting and in shambles. This place made that ward look like Lumiose City. Nothing but bums, garbage, and Trubbish everywhere. I feel like one may need immunizations before going in there, it's that gross. Note to self: Frequently check pocket and wallet to make sure nothing goes missing. And frankly, it seems like 90% of the people in there were either high or drunk. And possibly very, very stupid. A box moved. Everyone down there lost their minds thinking the box moved on its own. Even though one could clearly hear it cry when someone approached it. NOPE! BOX CLEARLY MOVED ON ITS OWN! Pure genius. Anyway, after chasing whatever was hiding in the box, a Scraggy jumped out and ran away. It was just a simple Scraggy, plenty of other wild Pokemon down here. I only followed after it because there was no other way to get out of there. It led me right into an ambush though. Two more Scraggy, as well as a Scrafty, were lying in wait for me. They seemed to function as a gang, with Scrafty as the leader, and they challenged me to a battle. They actually proved themselves a challenge, with Scrafty belaying orders before joining the fight itself. It is kind of impressive how they were able to organize themselves. However, Aero and Shimmer took them out fairly quickly, Aero whipping up the winds and Shimmer powering up with Charge Beam. The Scrafty tore down the gate blocking the exit after being defeated, then quickly retreated. After finally escaping that garbage dump with paupers living in it, I realized that the scent of fresh air is one of the most beautiful things a man can experience. Two more police officers were preventing citizens from passing to the Obsidia ward to the north, so the only place for me to go and write this log was the Coral Ward to the south. Apparently a once proud port, this place was severely crippled when the lake became toxic. What I'll find here, I'm unsure, but I do hope I will be able to help cull the flora soon. A few notes before I close this log. I found a Moon Stone while traversing the slums. It seemed impossible that anything of any value could be there, but I suppose there is always something worthwhile even in the most remote locations. Anyway, I could evolve Shimmer with this, but I'm going to hold off doing so. I want her to trust me completely before I do anything as important as evolve her, especially with a stone. I also found an Egg down there. I don't know how it got there, what laid it, or what was protecting it, but it was there, in another pile of garbage. It is a pale blue color, so I assume it will hatch into a water type. But even if I don't train it, hatching it and sending it to a proper caretaker is the right thing to do. So finished the Slums. Didn't include the next part here because I haven't done it yet because I feel one major boss fight, in this case the Scrafty Squad, is enough for one log. And I won't be evolving Shimmer because she gets no moves as a Musharna.

Sadly I will have no way to beat him when I face him again.

Why was Ferrothorn his last pokemon? Thing is built to set-up.

So I got Ekko, and frankly, I'd rather just play Ahri.

Just a general question: How in Arceus's name are you supposed to fight LeBlanc?

Good luck with your run. Fennekin best starter

It'll change from a Magikarp to a Finneon.

Log 3: A Toxic Partnership After meeting with that most unpleasant being Fern, I decided my best course of action would be to check the Power Plant and see if Julia was there and ready to battle. She was leaving just as I was about to head in. She said that she was meeting a friend at the other factory in the city by the train tracks, and then extended the invitation. Seeing as this would be the fastest way to get her to battle me, I joined her. After blowing up the locked door (despite my offering to pick the lock), a new face and one face I would prefer never to encounter again showed up; Julia's friend Florinia, who spoke with a more monotone voice than Siri, and her brother, Fern. Why did it have to be Fern? The entrance to the factory smelled like a sewage plant. It appeared that this was the major source of pollution in the lake around the city. There was water that was dyed purple from the toxins being dumped, almost the same color as a Muk. In an effort to cover as much ground as possible, we decided to split up into pairs. Julia and Florinia went together, leaving me with Fern. I wonder if the toxins in the water are enough to dissolve a human body... The trek through the factory was grueling, fighting wave after wave of grunts. Apparently the organization that blew up the train station and was responsible for the poisoning of the lake is known as Team Meteor. An odd name for a group seemingly hellbent on ruining and killing the lives of innocents. Fern was still his normal self which made me want to shove his head in the machinery within the factory, but he at least proved himself competent enough to battle against these grunts. Fortune favored him though as the grunts we tore through their teams as they mostly consisted of weak rock types. This was also the first time I tested Shimmer's power in battle. She is strong. Very strong. She was able to both survive a lot of hits from the opponents, even the higher level admins, and able to deal quite a bit of damage. However, it seemed like she was... restricting herself, like she didn't trust herself enough to use her full power. It's somewhat understandable, not wishing to show her full strength with a trainer she doesn't trust. I must work with her, let her know that she's safe with me, in order to see what she is truly capable of. We eventually made it to the center of operations in the factory, with Julia nearly destroying the building in the process. Extreme levels of caffeine and explosives do not work well together. It turns out that a major head of Team Meteor was there, however he did not give his name. Julia and Florinia fought him, while Fern and I fought two Admins named Aster and Eclipse. They worked nearly in perfect sync with each other, so it is my assumption that they are a pair and have some kind of history together. We eventually beat their surprisingly powerful Elekid and Magby, but to the Meteor Head's dismay. It turns out their plan was to make the city uninhabitable by poisoning the water. People would then be forced to relocate, and the train station explosion was done to prevent any others from coming in. It seems their plan requires the city to be empty, but what that plan is remains unknown. After they retreated, Julia used some explosives that were in the factory to destroy it. Fortunately, no one was harmed. Unfortunately, Fern was unharmed. After this fiasco, there was finally time for Julia to battle me. Her gym puzzle was so simple it need not be called a puzzle at all. All that was needed was to lead Voltorb to gates and have them use Self-Destruct. This was required 4 times, each time requiring me to battle a trainer and wait about 5 minutes to get my hearing back. During the fourth trainer battle, Lilith evolved into a lovely Braixen. She still has the determined look in her eye she had when I first took her, but now there is also something else. She was constantly thinking. The look could really only be described as cunning. Again, I could tell she was smart when I first saw her, and do not regret doing so. Julia's battle took place on an electrified field. It felt as though there was static in the air, like it could combust at any second. Ironically for her though, it both messed up her hair and did not benefit her team in any way. Teemo, Shimmer, and Lilith all proved very useful in this fight. Aero had problems, but it's understandable due to her type. Next gym will be Florinia, the grass trainer, so she should be able to show her true power there. A big problem with her team was that there was very little diversity, which I suppose is a problem for Electric types. Most of her team relied on moves based off special attack, but none of them were particularly powerful. She opened with a Helioptile while I opened with Teemo. Knowing that most Electric types do special damage, Teemo set up Light Screen, which made some of her Pokemon do next to no damage on mine. Her team consisted of her Helioptile, two Voltorb, Emolga, Blitzle, and her ace, Electrode. Helioptile and Emolga were the only multi-type Pokemon on her team, so she proved not to be much of a challenge. Teemo's Screen, Shimmer's raw power and ability to take hits, and Lilith's power and cunning were just enough to take her out. Maybe if she thought more about her team composition, she'd fare better. Perhaps a Magnemite or a Joltik or a Chinchou, just something so she can actually prove to be a threat. And I was again proven right about Lilith's intelligence and ability to think on the spot. The battle came down to her versus Julia's Electrode. Lilith smiled as she missed her Ember attack, hitting the floor instead. Even I wasn't sure what she was planning to do. But as the ground heated up, Electrode started moving more erratically, seemingly in pain. It eventually started rolling directly at her. She ran into it using Flame Charge to knock it into the air and hit it with an Ember while airborne. The extreme static electricity the air combined with the fire caused Electrode to explode and then faint, thus scoring us the win. Lilith tried to get away, but was still knocked back by the force of the explosion. Fortunately I was able to catch her, getting knocked down in the process. She was a little banged up, but was still conscious, and she looked up at me with a smile that could only be taken to mean "thanks." Julia gave me the badge as well as the TM for Charge Beam. The special attack buff may prove useful, so I'll see if Teemo can make any use of it. The next open gym is over to the east of the Grand Hall, in the Obsidia Ward, where I will be going against Florinia unless something comes up. But first, there was an annual festival going on. Not exactly sure why, but it turns out Julia, who generally enjoys any kind of explosion, is also a skilled pyrotechnic, as she put on a rather lovely fireworks show. Thinking it would be a pleasant way to celebrate our victory over both Team Meteor and Julia, my team and I stayed and enjoyed the show. Or, most of us did. Teemo and Shimmer both seemed captivated by the fireworks, but poor Aero, she did not want to be let out of her Pokeball during it. She has very sensitive hearing, so I really can't say I blame her. Lilith was less interested in the show and seemed happier just to be with me outside of her Pokeball and not in battle. She's more than a partner to me; she's a very dear friend now. Another log done, dang these things take a while. All the major events from my playtime today are chronicled in my character's monologue above. I did embellish Lilith in the final battle a bit since that couldn't happen, but it makes it much more entertaining to both write and read I hope. Thanks for reading. No new team updates, but Lilith got upgraded and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love the entire Fennekin line. Lilith I think she looks lovely. Anyone who says otherwise is both rude and wrong. And for anyone who forgets, there is a roll call in my signature of the team I'm using.
