Psychic Day 2: The Scientific Method

Current location: Saved in Cyllage after a quick Battle Chateau training session and beating Grant.

Current team:
Halley - Ember, Fire Spin, Psybeam, Thief
Turing (now a Kirlia) - Confusion, Magical Leaf, Thief, Teleport
Oppenheimer (now a Gallade) - Confusion, Rock Smash, Bulldoze, Strength
Schrodinger (still an Espurr) - Psybeam, Disarming Voice, Covet, Light Screen

And the newcomers:
Hypatia the Inkay (Female) - Jolly, Contrary, STed Atk/Speed - Thief, Aerial Ace, Swagger, Hypnosis
Fujita the Sigilyph (Male) - Docile, Magic Guard, STed SA/Speed - Psybeam, Air Cutter, Tailwind, Whirlwind

The advantages of having three Pokemon with Thief is that if you're going after a Pokemon like say, Snorlax, you can swipe its Sitrus Berry before attempting to deal with it. For the record, it was caught. From there, Route 8 brought an Inkay - and Oppenheimer was still a Ralts and packing Synchronize, so it only took a single reset to get a good natured one. The first round of Super Training ensued.

Glittering Cave was designed strictly for leveling up, as we caught Hypatia up and tried to get the rest of the team up to L20 to trigger three evolutions. Didn't quite work, but once we got out it was time to run to 10 and grab Fujita (named after the scale of tornadoes, Hypatia's a female Greek astronomer). The first one had Magic Guard as I learned when Halley burned it, so I decided to run with it - Docile's not ideal, but it's good enough for now.

After picking up some more levels, it was time for the gym - and we got Turing into Magical Leaf, which made the rest of the Gym quite simple. Oppenheimer took the lead and got Amaura in one, and Tyrunt in two, to pick up the 2nd badge.

Tomorrow: Korrina, we comin' for YOU. And the same goes for you, Sawk-dude.
