(You have *no* idea how long I've wanted to use that title.)
Current location: Lumiose City after being Clemont.
Current team, at L37:
Prometheus (now a Delphox) - Mystical Fire, Psyshock, Grass Knot, Fire Spin
Phoenix (Talonflame) - Flame Charge, Fly, Thief, Quick Attack
Aslan (Pyroar) - Fire Fang, Headbutt, Thief, Dig
Salamando (Charizard, @ Charizardite X) - Fire Fang, Rock Tomb, Wing Attack, Shadow Claw
Baskerville - Ember, Bite, Smog, Rock Smash
Sniper - Fire Fang, Dig, Bite, Strength
The day began with a round of nicknaming, Chateau clearing, TM acquisition (Aerial Ace, Rock Tomb, the usual) and rolling through Route 10. We started swapping around here to try and get the experience distributed as much as possible to get the evolutions (which all hit at the 35-36 area) faster.
Geosenge saw the team wipe out Lucario - Aslan actually got the first KO in when Lucario 1 used Metal Sound, but couldn't handle the Power Up Punch of #2. Thankfully, Salamando picked up the pieces. Nothing to report in Reflection Cave, but Shalour was pretty wild - the Rival went down to two Sniper Dig shots (Frogadier) and type matching (the others), we got the badge, and for the first time in the project I lost the Mega Lucario duel to a stray crit. 1/18 is roughly 6.25%, right?
Not much happened on Route 12 and in Azure Bay, except needing about five tries to get through the Sky Battles (4 resets on the Charge Beam/T-Wave Sigilyph, 1 on the Fletchinder/Pelipper combo thanks to not Water Pulsing). Courmarine Gym was a 3-shot, though Gogoat needed help from a Fire Fang burn.
TRTSNBM was its usual annoying self, as the male character's short hair makes it harder to see if it's worth trying the ramp to Charge Beam (disappointingly, nobody learns it). Then the evolutions started - Phoenix, then Aslan, with Prometheus and Salamando joining the party before the Power Plant ended.
Finally, there was Lumiose Gym - the trainers were slightly annoying (LANTURN), but Clemont himself was simple. A Rock Tomb, a Shadow Claw/Fire Fang rush and a Dig later, we had Thunderbolt (which again, nobody learns. Mrgrgr).
Tomorrow: Let's shoot for clearing Frost Cavern. Sadly, nobody on the team can Poison Jab, so we'll have to find a way around that. Also, the end of Super Training... for now.
