i actually fucked up on the way in because i edged my last 'mons before clearing the gym trainers, forcing me to bench two of them for wattson, but the hardest thing was definitely grinding the coins for the flamethrower tm. i didn't remember mauville slots being so aids. but that's all she wrote! i can't believe i beat wattson this way.
