Part 23: Short Update

After much struggling, I found out that flame moves are excellent against Lucario.

I asked Josh about it and he said Lucario was part steel.

Makes total sense.

"...OK. You win." Maylene looked serious as she said it. "That was a tough loss. I learned a lot from it. Please, accept this Gym Badge."

She handed me the Cobble Badge, and I attached it to my trainer card as she explained it.

"I should explain about that official Pokemon League Gym Badge. With it you can use Fly outside of battle. Take this as well." She gave me TM60 (Drain Punch)."

I left the Gym with high hopes, and I run into Dawn.

"Donny! Can you help me? Some Team Galactic goons took my Pokedex away from me. I need your help to get it back. I'll be waiting in front of the warehouse. Please come!"

I watch her run off and then promptly go to the Pokemon Center, and then shopping.

Got 50 Lava cookies for 200 each, which Josh says is a good deal.

Gonna do the warehouse stuff a little later, so sorry about the short update. Did update the trainer card though.

Part 22: Gym and Unown

"Hello, I'm pleased to meet you."

The gym had been one long annoying puzzle, shoving punching bags around and getting them to knock down huge stacks of tires.

Insurmountable Waist-High Fence.

Geez.

So I finally am standing in front of the Gym Leader, ready and waiting to take her on.

"I'm Maylene, and I'm the Gym leader. I don't really know what it means to be strong, or how I got to be the Gym Leader."

I am confused. Then what the heck is she doing here?

"But I will do the best I can as the Gym Leader." She continued. "I take battling very seriously. Whenever you're ready!"

I was slaughtered.

Okay, let's go to the Ruins.

*few days later*

I opened up my DS this morning and got letters that showed all that I'd done up to that point. I've never seen that before, it was weird.

So now I'm in the Ruins, let's catch some Unown.

I ran across a trainer, and a few of my Pokemon leveled up.

Then, Josh leveled up to 27 and evolved into a Floatzel! It's cute and fluffy-looking!

Found a large room with a few items in it, one of them was a Mind Plate. "Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One."

Now that I've gotten all the items in this place...it's time.

Time to catch 'em all.

I can't just have one letter, I have to get all of them. *glares at Nintendo*

*A few days later*

So I've gotten all the Unowns and their seals. And now my team's pokeballs are decked out in the most of girly ways. Seriously, the letters are really girly...and yet they're SO CUUTE!

Still have to grind up a few levels. It's been a bit busy here, what with different projects going on and such. Shouldn't be too long to where I'm back in the groove.
