>>34778128As we crossed the ocean towards the next city we picked up a Buizel with our newly acquired Old Rod. After coming upon an ocean cave we gained another member of the team, a new pokemon called Kawappa. However, disaster struck when we were strong-armed into a double battle against our rival and an elite four member. We pulled through but lost Amber the Lileep and were forced to sacrifice out newly acquired buizel to heal.
After making it to the city we fished a shellder out of the surrounding ocean waters as we grinded Agate the Kawappa to be in line with the rest of the team. I was happily surprised to find it evolve into a water/fighting type since it was exactly what the team needed.
Turns out that Team Dark Hole had one of their main bases here and we were tasked with storming the place. After a very annoying puzzle involving finding hidden shards we made it once again to the effeminate admin. The fight was brutal, with Agate being the lone survivor of the massacre. We have Shellder in the box but I feel this run might be drawing to a close.
