Well, that took a fair bit longer than I thought to get back to this run, but I figured I probably should make some progress before this is forgotten.
Chapter Seven: Screw you too, Fern!
After we failed to get sweet revenge on Kiki, we were off to go find Cain on Azurine Islands. Now, I know there's a small selection of Water-types that can be gotten there, but, honestly, I didn't really bother searching for any, at least not right now. I admit I just wanted to get this over with. I'll return later to capture what I missed. However, I did encounter and capture one Water-type at least.
Anyway, it was time to begin the gauntlet of battles. First of all, Aster and Eclipse.
...I kind of forgot to take any real screenshots of this battle. But, just trust me when I say that it was not even close. Aster and Eclipse just couldn't hold back the assault. Only the Milotic put up a real resistance, but even it faltered.
Next up was Taka.
Oh, before I forget, this happened:
Finally, my whole team is fully evolved.
After that, it was time for Solaris. I did not take any screenshots of that because it was a complete failure on my part, so instead I'll just say that this is a pretty funny moment.
Anyway, after having my rear handed to me by Solaris, plot happened and we got the Strength TM, finally. All that was left is Aya's badge so we can use it. And for that, we needed Cain's co-operation. For that, he requested one more battle because of course he did.
A brief romp through the wasteland later, we arrived in Aya's abode. However, before we can challenge her for the badge, there was one. Last. Obstacle...Fern.
And, finally, it was time for Aya.
And the team that came this far:
And with that, I'm returning to Rejuvenation, so don't expect another update for a little while.
