>>36512437We also found our way through Aqua Hideout on the first try, but then took way too long trying to find our way to an item that turned out to be shit. Solid Snake is off the team again, replaced by another former Emerald team member, 42. Sorry Solid Snake, the base 85 Attack and inaccurate moves weren't cutting it.
After yet another tedious training session to get 42 up to the rest of the squad's level, we took on the Mossdeep Gym. Tate and Liza's Altaria was a pain in the ass. I didn't want to risk switching in my Ice users because they're slow as balls and her other mon would've killed them, and Dragon Claw couldn't one-shot it so they just kept spamming Hyper Potions and making me waste turns healing my other mon. Eventually they ran out of Potions and Altaria went down. One more badge to go.
