The trio of early level 30s Johto gyms are over and done with, but with some unfortunate luck along the way. The gyms themselves were easy enough; Chuck, Pryce and Jasmine being soloed by Emily, Kirifuda and Margaret, respectively, but disaster struck in between Chuck and Pryce as we tried for the Lake of Rage Gyarados. I figured that Emily might be able to weaken it with Ice Punch and maybe score a lucky freeze to make capture easier, not imagining that a crit Thrash would come our way and completely wipe our unfortunate magician from full HP. This set us back a little as I had to scramble to find and train up a substitute elemental puncher, figuring that I might as well pop Nidoqueen here as I don't strictly need her anywhere else. Hopefully the Radio Tower and Clair won't come with any nasty surprises like that, but that was definitely a wake up call that I need to be more careful
