>>35203416The trainers on route 11 were a waking nightmare.
The psychic kid and his Siglyph were probably the only reprieve, although said Siglyph INSISTED that as many pokemon on my team as possible get experience, by spamming whirl wind to force them into battle.
The battle girl's Mienfoo procced force palm on almost every time it hit. I basically had to hit with leech seed and potion tank through, because even Sanic was getting trucked by it.
The fight/psychic duo were mostly okay. I thought ahead and led with Wentz, whose Arial Ace did wonders on the Machoke.
But the sky battle. Oh my god the sky battle. I saw the writing on the wall as soon as Emolga was the lead. I dumped just about EVERYTHING I had into Wentz to keep him alive. Both my remaining X-defends, my only X-special defend, and an X-attack, plus almost all of my remaining super potions, and actually all of my paralyze heals. And even though Wentz dipped as low as 5 hp (my fucking heart), by god that bird lived!
So it's pretty clear that despite grinding, I'm not really over leveled. In fact, I feel pretty damn unprepared. So I dipped into Reflection Cave to get my capture...a Wobbufett. Named it Kek like the god of Chaos it is. I'm considering invoking Wobbufett clause for the cave.
Until then, I'm grinding. Fuck it. Going to get X-items, and leveling up the whole team. Because I'm not taking another step forward as is. My heart can't take it.
I'm stunned everyone lived. Especially Wentz. You beautiful, ACL torn bird!
