I made my way back to Jubilife and beat some Team Galactic Grunts. I also caught a Budew on Route 204 that I named Rose. In Ravaged Path, I went fishing and caught a Magikarp and named him Poseidon.

In Floroma Town I'm given a Mew and a Jirachi. Wow. This is worthless. While fighting the grunts, Angry Bird evolved into Staravia, while Garrus evolved into Luxio.

In Valley Windworks I caught a Pachirisu and named him Conker. When I went to help a little girl find her dad, I had to fight off all the Team Galactic Grunts. Commander Mars was the only one who posed much difficulty. But with the help of a potion, Owen takes her Purugly down. I also put some honey on a tree in Floroma Meadow. I plan on checking it when I get the chance.

I went into Eterna Forest and teamed up with a girl named Cheryl. She has green hair. I accidentally knock out a Wurmple I wanted to catch, which means Eterna Forest is off limits to me for catching pokemon. Undeterred, Cheryl and I make it through the forest. She heals my pokemon along the way which probably saves at least one of my pokemon.

On Route 205 I catch a Buizel and named him Ron Weasley. I put him on the team in place of Dudette, because Dudette is high enough of a level at the moment.

I made my way to the gym, faced all the trainers, then decided on my team for Gardenia. I figured Owen and Angry Bird had this. So I brought Poseidon with me. I figured he needed the experience points. He only knew splash, so he wasn't ready to carry his own weight yet.

Gardenia led with Cherubi. I led with Angry Bird, who one shot Cherubi no problem. Next up was Turtwig, who was no pushover. Not only could Turtwig tank a hit, but he could deal some damage. Gardenia got off two super potions thanks to a reflect. But Angry Bird still got the job done. Then Gardenia sent out her last pokemon. Roselia. I wasn't quite prepared for her strategy. I started off healing Angry Bird, while Roselia stunned him. On the next turn the worst happened.. Angry Bird got off a hit, but was down to almost half health because of grass knot. One Wing Attack would take Roselia down, but Angry Bird was paralyzed. If he didn't attack, he'd probably die. I figured my best chance was to bring out Owen to finish the job. So I recalled Angry Bird, told him that he did a good job, and then sent out Owen. Grass Knot didn't do much to him, and I was glad she hadn't used stun spore again. Owen got off a flame wheel, knocking Roselia out. And with that, I earned my Forest Badge.

I start to think this challenge might still be a bit too easy. I've only lost one pokemon, for which I'm grateful. But the one I lost was done due to my own carelessness. In order to increase the difficulty I decide that I will limit myself to the gym leader's highest level pokemon, and I can only use items i pick up. I can't buy them. (Pokeballs are an exception)
