Fire Day 1: One Final Super Training Marathon

Current location: Route 6, just finished the west end of the tall grass and about to raid the east side.

Current team, all at L17:
Prometheus the Braixen (Bold) - Ember, Flame Charge, Scratch, Howl
Phoenix the Fletchinder (Mild) - Peck, Ember, Thief, Quick Attack
Aslan the Litleo (Naughty) - Ember, Headbutt, Thief, Noble Roar
Salamando the Charmeleon (Lonely) - Ember, Dragon Rage, Scratch, Smokescreen

It took about eight tries to get a Fennekin I could live with, and then we found a Fletchling that was suitable on about the third catch. This set up two rounds of Super Training after we caught a Weedle to serve as the training unlocker - SA and Speed for Prometheus (or as he was known until Camphier, "Pronetheus") and both Attack stats for the future Phoenix.

Luckily, it takes about 45 minutes for me to fully ST something, so I'm confident in my Kid Icarus and Codename STEAM abilities.

Moving into the forest, picked up Pansear and promptly ignored it, snagged the run's Official HM Mule (tm) in Panpour, and a gratuitous rat. We ran through Santalune City, picked up Aslan on Route 22, and after Super Training (SA/Speed) doubled back to level him up on the Route 3 trainers, Turns out, he was with the other two by the time we entered the gym. The key to the gym was avoiding Water Sport, which happened with two Phoenix Pecks and a Quick Attack, making Aslan's Ember a kill move against Vivillon.

After picking off a few trainers on Route 4, it was Salamando time. And it took about twelve sequences of beat Sycamore, grab the Pokemon, nickname it, and curse Sycamore's inability to shut up before I got a decent (Attack+ - the ST was Atk/Speed) nature. People started evolving on Route 5 - or at least, Prometheus did - Salamando went up on Route 6 after the Parfum Palace events, and Phoenix went up when it dinged L17 on the Furfrou fight. Double Dragon Rage for the win there.

Tomorrow: Goal is to reach Grant. Not sure if I'm going to Super Train the Eevee, but I probably will.
