Day 113
I pushed deeper into Tagtree Thicket, where I caught a lurking Spidops before setting my sights on another Team Star camp. This one was led by Atticus, the so-called toxic ninja. After clearing out his grunts, I challenged him directly. Naclstack opened the fight with Salt Cure and Mud Shot against Skuntank, though it was poisoned in the process. Once Skuntank fell, I switched to Orthworm, who bulldozed through his Revavroom with ease. Learning Dig mid-battle, Orthworm then outmaneuvered Muk completely, striking from underground while Muk couldn’t land a hit. Finally came the Navi Starmobile. Its repeated Flame Charges nearly overwhelmed me, but Orthworm stood resilient, alternating between Dig and Bulldoze until the massive vehicle broke down. With Atticus defeated, three of the five Team Star bosses had been dealt with.
I pressed on toward Medali, where Naclstack evolved into Garganacl along the way, and I even caught a ghostly Greavard to add to my collection. At Medali, I faced the local gym leader Larry, an overworked businessman who seemed to carry the weight of his dull job into battle. Grafaiai led the charge, using Poison Jab to dispatch Komala before being put to sleep by Yawn. Orthworm entered next, setting up Sandstorm and slowly wearing down Dudunsparce with Iron Head, even while paralyzed. Finally, Larry Terastallized his Staraptor, but Garganacl stepped in, smashing through with Hammer Arm to secure the win. Larry sighed in defeat, no doubt wondering how he’d explain another failure to his boss.
