Current location: Saved in Courmarine, ready to raid the Gym. In addition to Fangoro, Naga and Kaiser, the newcomers are:
Ampharos (pending nickname) - Naive, Static - L32 - Electroball, Thundershock, Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray @ Ampharosite
Gible (pending nickname and Super Training) - Naive - L28 - Sandstorm, Take Down, Sand Tomb, Slash
Skrelp "Komodo" - Timid - L1 - Tackle, Smokescreen, Water Gun
The day started on Route 10 and wrapped into Geosenge Town, where the Lucario went down to a combo of Naga and Kaiser. By the time Naga got caught up, I was L29 (the highest I've ever been at this point when I wasn't soloing the game back in Ice) and Reflection Cave was a nice break as opposed to an exercise in frustration.
The first stop in Shalour was a quick run to Route 12 to pick up Mareep... and there's nothing more irritating than five sheep slinging Growls and Thunder Waves on physical, slow Pokemon. I got a good draw on the third one - Amphy has high HP, for one thing - and STed it up before doing some leveling in Reflection Cave to get it back to par.
After beating the Rival for the first time and a few trainers in the gym, I was able to stick the then-Flaaffy out against Korrina, and the nasty Electro Ball/Thunder Wave combo brought it to Machoke (whose Rock Tomb was probably Guts boosted, knowing my luck), before Kaiser finished it. Route 12 served to get us Ampharos, and then Azure Bay held the Mega evo stone. Booyah.
Upon pullng into Courmarine, we got the items and I snuck out to Route 13 (yuck) to get Gible. Thankfully, the first one had a nature I could live with so I got the hell out of there, and went to grab Komodo - who had to hatch in Y because Bank apparently blocks Egg transfer. But I did get to apply a suitable nickname AND get Komodo's Super Training done, so no big loss there.
Tomorrow: Hopefully everybody catches up, we're gunning for Clemont, and maybe we'll get to join the Church of Goomy. (Yes, that exists.)
