On Route 222, I caught a Wingull and named her Pelly.

Upon arriving in Sunnyshore City I was greeted by Flint, a member of the Elite 4. He tells me that the gym leader here needs a real challenge. And he thinks that's me. Volkner himself tells me that he hasn't had a real challenge in a long time. Well I mean I can see why. Barry is one of the top trainers, and he's not very challenging. Volkner says that he'll challenge the pokemon league if I don't beat him. I want to ask him why he doesn't just challenge the league anyway if he's so good? I also met Jasmine from Johto.

I let Wrex clean up most of the gym trainers. And thanks to that he evolves into Garchomp! Wrex has quickly become one of the most reliable members of my team. After cleaning up the gym trainers, I'm ready to face Volkner. I decided on my team fairly easily. First, Wrex. He lives up to his name and wrecks any electric type pokemon. Second, Shelly. She's got immunity to Electric Type moves so she's a no brainer. Third is Owen. Another hard hitter, and good to bring to any battle. Lastly, Garrus. He resists Electric, and can do some damage if necessary.

Our battle began. Volkner started with Raichu. I started with Wrex. It takes two Bulldozes to take it out, with a berry and a hyper potion. But it doesn't last long. Next up was Octillery. A water type in an electric gym? I swap out Wrex for Garrus, who evades an aurora beam. Then he took it down with a shock wave without any problem. Next up: Ambipom. Another non-electric type. He should probably just go challenge the league, even if I beat him. His team is a bit more balanced, and that's probably why other trainers have trouble with him. He could at least beat Barry! Ambipom makes Garrus flinch on the first turn, but a Volt Switch knocks it out, and I sent out Shelly to face his final pokemon: his own Luxray. I don't think Luxray learns any grass type moves, so I feel comfortable moving on. Two Earth powers, and it's down as well and the final badge is mine. Is Volkner really the strongest gym leader in Sinnoh? I'd say Maylene or Fantina own that title. Maybe he's just rusty and not used to facing good trainers.

After beating Volkner, Jasmine gives me Waterfall, and I head off to Victory Road. I'm not sure I'm ready to take on the League yet, but just being here means the journey is almost over. We'll see if I have what it takes to become Champion. I'm still not sure. I also caught a Tentacruel on Route 223 and named her Samus.
