I remembered that my Bug Badge only allows Pokemon up to Lv 30 to obey me. I have no idea the odds that a Lv 31+ will not obey me, but I decided not to take that chance once I discovered there was no gym here in Ambette Town, and I had to go find some assistant in one Glittering Cave. I swapped out Frogadier for Ducklett. I also made Panser the lead Pokemon and hold the Amulet Coin.

In one of the houses, I found a woman who was fascinated with speedy Pokemon. I looked up the speed of my Pokemon and found out that they are all slow as fuck (after subbing out Frogadier). A woman at the hotel claimed to be on vacation but was wearing an outfit similar to the staff you find in other hotels. I decided it was best to avoid her for the rest of my journey. I keep forgetting about using O-Powers! I must remember to use the one for capturing Pokemon so that I can avoid another Absol/Snorlax situation. A random guy gave me an Old Rod at the aquarium.

I finally got to ride a Rhyhorn, and that was one giant letdown. These things apparently race, but mine only had one speed: Molasses. Add in random encounters anywhere, and my enthusasium went all the way to zero fast. I did catch a Hippopotus, Helioptile, and Sandile. I also realized much later than I should that I could manually dismount from the Rhyhorn. Unfortunately, rocks are a rollerskater's arch nemesis, so I couldn't ditch the Rhyhorn completely and move at my own pace. I also had a sky battle since Vespiquen was eligible. It was tougher than it had any right to be since confusion likely tripled to amount of turns it would normally take.

After the battle, Vespiquen learned a new move, and I regretted having her learn Cut so soon. I hope there's a way to forget an HM at some point (I would like to have an HM sponge eventually) because my Vespiquen no longer has any flying moves. I entered Glittering Cave, and this was a lot different than Zubat Roost. I caught a Machop, Kangaskhan, and Cubone. I would have caught Solrock and I want to say Lunastone, but they were harder to catch than Absol or Snorlax. I really need the shops to have better Poke Ball offerings because I can't see what more I can do than knocking a Pokemon to 1 HP and have it asleep or paralyzed.

As an aside, I see that Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother. We can rule out all Cubone mothers dying at childbirth since they all lay eggs, so I'm inclined to call BS on that.
