Got my go-go goggles, entered the desert to fight some trainers and get some mons. The Baltoy I wanted self destructed, but I got a Trapinch in the Mirage Tower, plus the Claw fossil.
Another Trapinch shot out from the sand and clamped onto Pharaoh. I tried to put him back in his ball and bring out Truffles, but I could not. He was trapped in the sandstorm, and I could only watch in horror as he sank down into the deep sand. He was just one level from evolving, and I'm sure he would have won the fight as a Manetric...
Trying to push the thoughts out of my mind, I went to challenge Norman. I remember Dad; he loves sloths. I trained on the rest of the trainers, powering up my pokemon, until only Norman remained. Majesty was going to be my perfect answer to his Slakings. Protect, Toxic, and then protect every other turn, never letting them get a hit.
Looks like I misremembered. Norman got some new team members in Emerald, so while Majesty was a great answer to Slaking, she only had one Slaking to cheese. Truffles and Pebble took the rest of the duty, taking down his Normal-ass mons.
Pebble just had to take down Linoone, his last mon. Easy. Just rollout to victory.
>Linoone used Belly Drum!
>Linoone used Slash!
...Pebble, I always thought of Graveller as another bland rock type with 4x weaknesses. But you were a hero to me, I couldn't have even GOTTEN to Norman without you. I'm sorry I didn't plan for the sudden belly drum shenanigans. Forgive me... you rock.
Truffles came back in with a Mach Punch and murdered that fucko. I guess... I guess I did it.
Alright guys, I have a real problem. I can't think of anywhere I haven't caught (or failed to catch) a Pokemon. I never got an old rod in Dewford, and Mr. Briney is gone. I need to surf to continue to progress the game, but the only pokemon I have that can learn surf is my Whismur, who needs to evolve into EXPLOUD to surf.
Is there anything I might have missed, or am I screwed? No surfer in 18 mons...
