Flying Day 5: Winged Ring Warriors

The run picked up today with a trip to Team Flare's bases, in which only one Pokemon was lost for the whole trip (and that was of course, to Gyarados). Xerneas went down to a Quick Ball, but I haven't checked it and probably won't bother.

Route 18 and the Terminus Cave were quite a joy to deal with as I swapped back and forth between the Intimidators (Enola/Spitfire) to wear down the Rock moves of the Fighting types. Of course, the team's relative luck issues continued with a Probopass at the bottom of the cave winning the Zap Cannon coin flip three times.

Route 19 was a basic grinding spot with the three other rivals, but the end saw me be quite disappointed that I had to give up a few points of power for the accuracy and well, not having to carry an HM mule. Snowbelle saw me pick up my first outfit AND the Ice gym go down to in sequence: Flamethrower, Iron Head and Flamethrower.

Route 21 saw me catch my first Dratini from back in Dragon... and it was Timid. There goes that opportunity. That led to Victory Road, and Zeppelin's experience curve starting to get beyond the point of sanity (he now takes more Exp to get to 66 than even the slow-growers, Spitfire and Kinner) so he led most of the way. We just cleared that out and now I'm saved outside of the Elite 4 building itself.

That'll go live shortly, but here's what we're entering with - a bunch of L65s:

Concorde - Flamethrower, Fly, Steel Wing, Return
Spitfire - Waterfall, Ice Fang, Stone Edge, Earthquake
Zeppelin - Shadow Ball, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Hidden Power (Water)
Kinner - Rock Slide, Iron Head, Earthquake, Thunder Fang
Arrow - High Jump Kick, Fly, Poison Jab, X-Scissor
Enola - Fly, Return, U-Turn, Close Combat
