Just a quick change to how I'm gonna do this, I'm going to pretend I'm the person I'm playing as. It just seems better to do it that way. Anyways, let's get on with the next update.
Been at the Academy for a while now & today is the day of the treasure hunt. I guess we can go out & choose what we wanna do? I don't know but I know I have a lot that I'm gonna be doing. Taking on the Gym League Challenge, taking on these Titan Pokemon for Arven & trying to take down Team Star. I was recommended to go to Cortondo to take on the Bug Gym Leader Katy. Kind of funny how my 1st challenge is a Bug user. Guess it'll be a test to see who's the better Bug Type user. I ventured out to go to this place & came across 2 more Pokemon. Kricketot, which I trained to evolve into a Kricketune, and... a Combee. There were a lot of Combee in this 1 area. It was actually quite close to Cortondo. Took me a while to find a female 1 but I finally did. This little bee will definitely be part of my actual team. Although... it doesn't seem all that into having me as its trainer but I'm determined to not only make friends with it but train it to be the very best that it can be. During this time, I was also able to evolve my Scatterbug into Spewpa and then Spewpa into Vivillon. My little Bug team had been starting to grow & get stronger. Funny little story. I decided to have a picnic near Cortondo before going for my 1st Gym Battle. As me & my Pokemon were eating, I noticed a Pokemon egg in my basket I had placed on the ground. I was shocked & tried to figure out how it got there in the 1st place. With no luck searching who had placed it there, I decided to take care of it til it hatched. And I am sure glad I did. When the egg hatched, I was looking at a baby Nymble. My guess is that somehow either my Kricketune or Vivillon had found a female Nymble and the 2 uhh... well you don't need to know the full details. This little Nymble though is really affectionate towards ne though & I kind of like the little guy too... Err, girl I mean. After training it & the rest of my team up for a couple of days, I was ready for my 1st Gym Battle.
Nemona was inside the Gym building. Really happy that I was there taking on the challenge. Although I was a little annoyed I had to do this weird Gym Challenge to where I had to push this giant olive into a big basket... I don't get it but after I finished the test, I was able to take on Katy. As part of taking on the Gym Challenge however, I was only allowed to take 3 Pokemon with me to make it an even 3-on-3 match up. My 1st 2 spots I knew exactly who I was taking. My Combee & Nymble. After thinking about it, I decided to bring my Vivillon with me since it's Flying Type had an advantage over her Bugs.
I was taken to her Battle Arena. It was a pretty nice arena to be honest. When I met Katy for the 1st time, I could tell that she had a love for Bug Types. I really respected her for that. Although her style... well it's not for me but it fits her. How she got into being a Bakery person though, I don't know how. Although, isn't that some kind of health hazard for having bugs being so close to food? Getting off track there. Anyways, we both started off with our little Nymbles. Both of our Pokemon seemed to be evenly matched but maybe because of my Nymble's affection towards me was able to just pull ahead & hand me the 1st win. Her 2nd Pokemon was Tarountula & boy, do I know how had those things are to train up. I sent out my Combee against it. While her Pokemon hit mine decently hard, with the type advantage, my Combee was able to knock out her Tarountula. She was down to her 1 Pokemon while I still had all 3 of mine. Although, 2 of them were exhausted. I sent out my Vivillon and she sent out her... Teddiursa? I was a little confused on why she sent out a Normal Type but then she brought our her Tera Orb & things suddenly made sense. She could turn her Teddiursa into a Bug Type thanks to that little mechanic. My Vivillon hit her Teddiursa for super effective damage but the little bear would hit back with huge damage. Luckily for me though, Vivillon came out on top. Thus, handing me my 1st Gym Battle victory. Also showing everyone that witnessed it that I was the better Gym Trainer there between the 1 of us. Later on in the day, after she baked me a congratulatory cake, she handed me her badge. My 1st Gym Badge was on my person.
Before leaving, Arven called me saying that he heard there was a Titan Pokemon in the direction he went. Before I could hang up though, I had to get through Arven asking me why it took so long to even get over there. After telling him that I went to train my Pokemon & took on my 1st Gym Battle, I could tell he was upset by this but he instead said that taking the Gyms on probably wasn't a bad idea since it could help me get stronger to help fight off the Titan Pokemon. Even though I could tell he was saying that to just be nice, I couldn't disagree. It was time to make my way back to the Academy and leave the other direction.
