>>47701814Speaking of, Elesa's down for the count. One Rock Slide from Excadrill (boosted by Hard Stone just for good measure) knocked Emolga out. Expecting a Flame Charge, I switch to Stoutland, but surprisingly, she went for Pursuit, which didn't do a thing and Stoutland got in at full health. All of Zebstrikas attacks basically tickled Stoutland so I set up a few Work Ups. Eventually Zebstrika Volt Switched out to Flaaffy, whose Static paralyzed Stoutland, but she was still healthy enough to fight everything.
I did plan for the others to help out if needed, like Excadrill switching back in to use Dig on Flaaffy or using Darumaka's Fire Punch against Joltik.
I can't believe Elesa used to give me so much trouble back in the day, although I have way more years of experience now I suppose.
Time to move onto Driftveil City. I think I have three more encounters: the bridge which is a guaranteed Ducklett, Route 6 which has who knows what, and I believe Chargestone Cave will let me get something.
I have heard that Clay is a menace and is a run killer, but I'll make sure I'm well prepared.
