And now, it's time for that elaboration.
Seems as though I really hit a low point around Hearthome with my new catches. I try to train up both Gligar and Cranidos, they fall victim to alarmingly powerful Headbutts and crit early Rollouts from Bidoofs and Bibarels. I train up Chingling to almost be on par with the rest of the team, and she gets hit by a crit Magical Leaf from an opposing Roselia. I bring Battenberg the Luxio back into the team for a final shot at a potent offensive counter to both Fantina and Barry...and a Drifloon takes him with her in death thanks to an Aftermath that I wasn't expecting, and a Spit Up before that, of all things.
Desperately have I tried to consolidate my team with Togetic and Onix. I don't suppose Fantina will be that bad, despite my losses - Duskull and Haunter aren't too painful. What I dread is her Mismagius, but I think I may be sufficiently prepared for that. Even Barry may not be too hard, seeing how I have good enough counters and can probably suppress Monferno easily enough.
Still...hard goings. Very hard goings. And now, Cupcake is the sole survivor of the original six. Seen some stuff. I do hope she can last long enough to become a Roserade, but who knows what'll happen.
More fallen friends, and I can only hope I get past Hearthome.
