Note: There is no Day 5 progress because of Pokemon Battle Trozei, so this covers 2 days.
Current location: Saved in Laverre City having just beaten Valerie. The team is currently L40-L41, and everyone is now final form... until Nina gets boxed due to lack of good offensive Poison moves in lieu of Pawniard.
Shalour had an easy fight against Serena, once Cecilia picked up an actual Fire move to beat down Quilladin with. The Fighting gym was predictably annoying, and Rolo actually didn't make it past Hawlucha, but Suzaku managed to not be Fighting weak long enough to Water Pulse things to death.
Courmarine was quite fun to roll through with Cecilia Fire Fanging everything in sight, and Rolo cleaning up Weepinbell with some well timed Aerial Aces. That led to the Route From Hell, where I curse the lack of a Flying type until Route 15 but was nearly able to get Suzaku to evolve. The Flare base finished that mission off.
In the Electric gym, Jeremiah pretty much went off as expected. Suzaku actually led the fight (because he had the Amulet Coin), so Emolga ate two Rock Tombs and everything else was well Dug out. Finally, we hit Laverre and time for an experiement... can a Scrafty solo Valerie?
Under ideal circumstances - a couple of levels (CC was L40) and a better nature, it might have been possible. It took the Roseli Berry (helpfully located on Route 14) and an X Speed to set up taking down Mawile with High Jump Kick, OHKOing Mr Mime with Crunch before it can either set Reflect or Dazzling Gleam, and then needing a crit to get past Sylveon. But we did do it and now I can go back to get the missing Dark Pokemon and continue on. I only have to ST one Pokemon, so I won't go bankrupt buying drugs as well!
Also, a preview of the update at 1/3... the next type after this is Rock.
