Day 60
I once again faced off against Burgh, the gym leader of Castelia City. This time, I came prepared. Grimer led the battle by poisoning Swadloon with a well-aimed Sludge. As the poison steadily drained Swadloon’s health, Grimer used Minimize and Harden to become nearly untouchable, allowing the poison to do the rest. When Dwebble came out, Riolu stepped up. Every time Dwebble used Smack Down, Riolu retaliated with a powerful Counter, eventually winning the clash. Finally, Burgh’s Leavanny stood no chance against Grimer, who launched another Sludge barrage while Leavanny struggled to make an impact.
With my third badge in hand, I left Castelia City and headed north into the vast desert. There, I encountered a scientist named Colress, whose Klink proved surprisingly dangerous. In an unfortunate turn, I lost Scraggy during the battle, having underestimated Klink’s strength. Pushing on through the sandy winds, I explored the Desert Resort and managed to catch a Maractus before reaching the vibrant Nimbasa City.
