Dragon Quill

Last time, I was forced out of Meteor Falls early.

Today, I return! (more…)

Right so, time to head down the spoink path.

Some old lady pounds my team because the people in this new area are on par with the boss battle a minute ago. So yeah, fail to catch anybody on the way down. (more…)

So we’re here. Petalburg City. Lucki, you do your best with the Gym. I’m behind you all the way. See ya!

Right. Current team:

Flare L28 
Grovyle L28 
Tryke L26 
Silver L29 
Mightyena L28
Egg (more…)

Since you guys mentioned it, I take a minute to check out Mauville gym and yeah, apparently Wally did battle there. Brendan’s name, though, is conspicuously absent. (more…)

So – wingull horde! Silver murders them in a single blow and levels yet again. He’s way too high level, but I have no one else who can surf… If only this was Sapphire and lotad were an option oh right I can hack in anything.

Shiny lotad friend!

(more…)

So I check to see what tropiuses’ ability options are, and find out their hidden ability is harvest, where they keep regenerating berries. Several hours later, I manage to catch one of those. Did not expect it to take nearly that long. Next time, definitely just hacking it in.

But anyway, I now have a Saurius with harvest and leech seed and it only took forever.

Also, did you know that all tropius are insanely slow? They are. My numel regularly outspeeds them. (more…)

Well anyway, Fortree.

Pokemon and people have adapted to nature to survive. There’s no need to make nature conform to the way we want to live.

Dude, I can see the holes where you cut off the branches that were at this section of the treetrunk and getting in the way of your living space. You’re living closer to nature, not in an actual natural environment. Wooden planks arranged into a floor aren’t found in actual nature.

Furthermore, life has only adapted to “nature” in the sense that all life that didn’t is dead. That doesn’t mean you can’t make something better. You’re in a house wearing clothes. That’s not your natural state. Your natural state is to die if you try to live in a temperate area. (more…)

Back to this at last! (more…)

Okay, finally going to talk to Steven hanging out on the bridge for real this time! (more…)

Well, I fight the damnable milotic and indeed, glorious difficulty is had! It slaughters my pokemon and I end up stalling it with my cacnea – ingrain + potions or soda each turn, needle arm when I get the chance. I think it’s out of recover (do opponent pokemon even run out of moves, though? Last game I tried that they just kept going.) and try attacking rather than healing yet again, and it knocks out my cacnea and I send in my revived Irin who manages to critical hit it back down to a sliver of health when it recovers yet again, then takes it out. Good job, Irin. (more…)

Right, so, Mt. Pyre! (more…)

Why is he so particular about it? Once you die, everything will be gone…

Whoa lady I’m just talking to NPCs because it’s what you do, I don’t have any answers for whatever creepy depressing thing is happening.

You know what, let’s talk claydol and baltoy for a bit instead. (more…)

Okay, I decide to go get some pokemon from the Safari Zone I passed. You can fight the pokemon inside! …so I keep accidentally fainting them. Whatever. (more…)

I go through the next layer of the trick house, which is just a lot of rock smashing. The people inside indicate confusion and fatigue, but it’s so tiny… Raiden gets poisoned early on, so that whittles him down. With him in the red, I decide to go collect berries, and that reminds me that the berry area is next to another area where there’s some new water pokemon, but I couldn’t get there before, so I fly to Mt. Pyre and head down. (more…)
