And we're back!
Pokestar studios out of the way and we made our way to Castelia where we get a bunch of new encounters. With Darmanitan and Krookodile in the champions team for Black I was expecting to get a free Scraggy encounter in Route 4 when it turns out there's Minccino in that route in BW2. I've played this game so many times but I don't remember this at all.
We also got Shriek the Zubat from the sewers, poor guy was just hanging around with his gf zubat until Hugh decided to murder her.
Unfortunately my luck finally came to an end. Fido the Growlithe already easily beat a Dwebble in the gym so I thought he'd be fine against a second, but we got hit by a crit. I feel really stupid for even keeping him out at all. Tried to bring Boots back into the team, but I got impatient when we got close to evolving and got wrecked.
At least the shenanigans meant I ran around Castelia long enough that Shriek already evolved into a Crobat! I guess he's just happy I got him a new bat gf in Doting the Woobat. Shriek destroyed the gym (Bushido got the Dwebble this time), but the real challenge was Colress because the only non-resisted attack we had against Magnemite are from Bushido. Ended up lowering its defenses with Minccino until we could beat it.
It's a bad sign that we really need to catch something against Elesa in the desert.
>>54769018>>54774942Going well! Love seeing Carnivine on the party. And an early game steel type sounds very strong in Johto.
>>54773098That's fucking rough man.
>>54772563A loss per totem seems quite reasonable to be honest. I got to enjoy how strong thick club Marowak was in FR, can't imagine how bad a Totem version is.
>>54769893Good thing you didn't get a paralyse on that TBolt!
>>54767544Good luck against Flannery! Make sure you don't let her get the sun up before Torkoal comes out, because that Overheat will still fuck Pelipper up in the sun.
>>54765287Congratulations! Good luck with the road ahead.
