Ice Day 6: The Miracle of Festivus

So I did manage to make Snowbelle. And the entire team is in the 55-56 range. We now have:

Byakuya - Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Ancient Power, Nature Power
Kyoko - Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Waterfall (not ideal, but I have to)
Chihiro - Earthquake, Ice Fang, Rock Tomb, Strength
Monokuma - Icicle Crash, Shadow Claw, Aqua Jet, Rock Smash
Asahina - Frost Breath, Draining Kiss, Grass Knot, Shadow Ball
Hakagure - Ice Punch, Wood Hammer, Rock Tomb, Brick Break

The Chateau didn't do much (except for the financial situation) so I went into Anistar at L42. The rival got me to 43, and the gym finished the job... though it would be a long time before Byakuya saw action again. Olympia had the usual trouble with Sigilyph, but Hakagure stalled out the Reflect so Slowking and Meowstic were easy marks for Wood Hammer.

After beating Team Flare and cursing the existence of the Fighting type again (and I'll get to do it AGAIN in the next run, more on that later), I did the 18 complex and went through Terminus Cave... only to find an entire floor of Black Belts and Battle Girls. Urgh, hate it when that happens. It was worth it though, given that I finally got a fourth move with PP and power on Asahina, and Brick Break which will get some more love shortly. Also, because of that cave, my money somehow got back over 400k again.

I finished with Route 19 and the dreaded Friend Gauntlet, which was AKA "an excuse to let Hakagure go Mega while something else leads with the Amulet Coin". Lo and behold it worked well, he went 4-2 after Chihiro wiped out the leads - though I did have a scare when in Chihiro v Talonflame, Rock Tomb missed 2 in a row (odds against that: 400-1). Pulled into Snowbelle, saved and mentally preparing for the endgame this weekend.

Also, I've pretty much determined that we'll be keeping the theme of cold going here after Ice is done with a little... cold Steel.
