Current location: Saved in Camphier and about to raid the Battle Chateau (again) for levels for our final member. The team current stands at L38 except for our newcomer, Ampharos is now "Seath" after a Dark Souls dragon who fires cursed crystals (Power Gem), the Gabite is "Alcar" who is a late-game boss I could never beat in Xenoblade, and the new Goomy (L32, Naive, Sap Sipper, Dragonbreath/Thunderbolt/Rain Dance/Flail) is "Hurtslime".
It started with a quick Super Training session on Gible, then we stuck Komodo out front to try and level it up in Courmarine Gym. Just as we were finishing off the last trainer in the gym... the game crashed. That's the first time I ever saw that, and considering going in my total time clock was at about 320 hours I'm not even mad. It let me change up strategy and stick Alcar out front and let the Exp Share level Komodo up. Ramos went down to a couple of well placed Rock Tombs and a lot of Aerial Aces.
Route 13 served another purpose - get Komodo up to the rest of the team by Surfing all of the Pokemon I couldn't run from into, uh, fainting. By the time we entered the Flare base, it was L35 and Flare got it up the rest of the way. Clemont ended up Volt Switching to Heliolisk, who futilely Quick Attacked Seath while it Rock Smashed the night away. Alcar picked up the pieces with a couple of Rock Tombs and proved he can dig it, sucka.
Finally, we pounded the Rival into dust and went out Hurtslime hunting. I was looking for something with Hydration, but that ability is entirely theoretical as I have *never* encountered a Hydration member of that family once. The first nature I got that was acceptable was Naive (again), and considering the base at endgame is 150 that would be acceptable. Also, I used the Rare Candy on the route to take care of the last level Kaiser needed to evolve.
Tomorrow (or this weekend, since I have a couple of podcasts to attend and a couple of things to play for said podcasts), we're going to at least get to the final Flare showdown - and I'm going to have the final forms of these guys, even if I have to fly all over Kalos to find the spot to feed Hurtslime a Rare Candy.
