Onwards we go!
Blackhydra manages to win a battle of attrition with a stubborn Milotic and then Ayvuir gets embarrassed by a Castform.
A Castform, people.
...
Castform
Perhaps it isn't too big of a loss.
I further through the route since I feel like my pokémon are a bit too underleveled and I want to catch a few new pokémon to see if I get anything good.
Route 121 nets me:
PIRATEKING, the naughty Shuppet!
Then in the Safari Zone I avoid all the grass and use my bike to catch:
Boshy, the Phanpy!
Hurrah! Really glad that it didn't run away. Boshy looks like a prime candidate when I'm in need for a ground type but I really need some coverage against water so he goes in the box for now.
Pirateking gets in, especially since the first team has been suffering some casualties the last updates.
Articuno and Hideto both evolve making me feel a lot less uneasy in using them. Thinking of buying a leaf stone I head to the department store. And there she is, the killer of Wazzup. This time, I'm prepared and Blackhydra beats her up. Of course I realise as soon as I enter the store that they don't sell any stones.
