I've learned one of two things today - either that I let recklessness get the better of me sometimes, or that I truly am cursed when it comes to Fighting types.
Po fell today, locked in combat with Calem's Absol. With it already weakened by a Vital Throw and Po being outsped anyway, I looked for one last throw to finish the job; Po was at good enough health, and his Lax nature helped his Defense some.
My luck often turns bad, though, and it just so happened that Absol struck with a crit Slash, goddamn Super Luck, felling Po before he could strike the final blow.
Drifblim mopped up, and in so doing I learned the wonders of Stockpile. The Gym was a welcome change of pace, and with Drifblim and Sableye in hand I shut down almost everyone there, even weathering Drifblim's weakness to Rock through Stockpiling. A brief respite.
I did the whole Tower of Mastery bit and opted to take Lucario with me - after all, he's an incredibly potent force against a great many types, and having lost Po, it was only logical.
And then, scarcely a level into having him, riding off a Power-Up Punch that I was sure would faint it, a trainer's Zangoose returned the favor with a crit Revenge. Fate really bites sometimes.
Even with such a staggering loss, I soldier on - I've acquired a Trapinch from Route 13 and both a Chinchou and Mantyke from Shalour City and Azure Bay respectively, welcome additions to a team desperately needing a Water type. I may have to revisit Shalour to catch a Remoraid if only out of necessity, but that will come later. For now, ahead of Ramos and another battle against Calem, the training begins again.
Also, Bozo's level was 25, not 23. Corrected that.
All-female team currently, too, I guess. Little things worth mentioning.
