>>45494036>After losing Sympathy, realize Flannery will fuck my entire team if I don't have Tension>Raise rest of the team to 28 and Tension to 25 so it gets Bubblebeam, figuring it can sweep the gym trainers and gain some levels>Tension sweeps the gym trainers and I get to Flannery>Blows through the two Slugmas with Bubblebeam but does jack shit to Torkoal it Body slams, knocking me down to half and paralyzing me>FUCK.Jpg>Go out to Studio hoping it can take a hit>It can't>Go out to Bedroom hoping that IT can take a hit>It does, but despite healing it, it immediately dies to Overheat>FUCKFUCKFUCK>Go out to Combusken and through a combination of luck and Dig, manage to just barely beat Flannery>Realize going foward that I'm gonna need to grind HARD for the upcoming gyms if I don't wanna wipe>Go to the desert, Trapinch 1st, but kill it with an unfortunate crit>Manage to snag and revive the Claw Fossil and throw both it and Uncle the Numel in the daycare, figuring that I can level them as backup options in case I lose my stars>Grind Addition, Tension, and City to level 33 and start to do it with Poet before realizing that she won't even be used in the battle and that she's kinda awful>Blow through the normal gym with Addition and use the 2 rare candies I got from Library's Pickup to evolve it into Blaziken >Addition mops the floor with Norman thanks to Bulk Up+Double Kick, though not without having a close call thanks to Focus PunchI'm just glad that part of the run's over, because from here on out, it should be relatively smooth sailing. There's a whole bunch of encounters coming up to spruce up the team, a whole bunch of trainers to grind on, and some nice TMs
I think as long as I'm level 36 across the board by the time I face her I should be in the clear.
