We are back in Nimbasa City facing the Amusement Park Area. Time to proceed with our destiny.
Guess who we first run into... It's N -sigh-. We ride the Ferris Wheel together (how weird) and he tells us some stuff. Then we get off the ride and surprise there is Team Plasma. Then we battle N....What?! Besides the storyline making no sense you are suppose to chose no when he asks if you agree with his ideals of releasing your pokemon to "make them happy". Though his explaination can make the answer really hard to figure out.
After that they run away, I heal my pokemon and it's Amusement Park exploration time! :D There is a hidden item Super Repel too the left of it around a tree and bench is a X Attack sitting out in the open. Then into the gym we go! :D
Inside the gym you get a Fresh Water and find out it is a Roller coaster gym. Ground type pokemon are immune to electric so they are the best choice for this gym. Guess what type isn't with me... yep the ground type pokemon -sigh- I survive one small battle and go get my Sandile out of the PC. Oh and Zebraika is great for this gym since it just gets a higher Special Attack off of electric type moves aimed at it.
Hihidaruma at level 24 can learn Work Up which is where it ups its Special Attack and Attack. I didn't have him learn it.
Alright back inside the gym. You press buttons to proceed further on the strange roller coaster. You access buttons by defeating trainers. Battle through the roller coaster, save, and it's time to face Elesa the Electric Type specialist.
Dotekkotsu at level 24 can learn Chip Away which is a move where the user strikes continually at the target by looking for an opening and stat changes don't affect this attack's damage. So I had her learn it and forget how to Low Kick.
Nageki at level 21 can learn Revenge. I had him learn it and forget Leer.
Ok I failed 2 times at the battle against those Emolgas so I'm going to go level up. As I went to do this it becames Spring so I got to take on 1 Tennis Trainer in the Small Court and 1 Baseball Trainer in the Big Stadium. The cones thing must be a joke because there is already 4 people there in the previous city and it's supposedly sold out. (and I really wanted to find out what it was)
In order to level up I'm going to start checking out the areas that don't have pokemon gyms in them starting with taking the Subway system to Anville Town. So let's go! :D
Ok once in town go the middle of the bridge and talk to the backpacker if you want to trade 2 escape ropes for a revive. I did so twice. The go a little further and in front of the sign is a guy in blue that will trade your 1 star piece for a PP Up. I'm going to hold on to that item and use it after I get a favored pokemon to level 50 and higher one of its move sets. Then above there is a dumb blue haired girl that tries to get you to trade 20 pokemon balls for a full restore. REALLY?! How dumb would that be.
While walking around I found the hidden item Ultra Ball towards the North or upper end of town. Go to the right lower corner of the area right past the bridge into the town and there is a house inside that guy will give you 2 Rare Candies.
Waruvial at level 22 can learn Embargo which is where you prevent the target from any item usage by itself or its trainer on it specifically. As cool as that sounds I'll pass.
Well that was a small town with practically nothing but I think I'll check it each day to see if different items are being collected on different days (if I remember that is). So I saved reorganized my team and I plan to try to take on the Emolgas again well technically the gym leader Elesa.
So far not going well but at level 25 Zebraika can learn Spark which is where the user throws an electrical tackle at the target somtimes paralyzing it. I had him forget how to Shock wave and learn spark.
Her other pokemon is a Zebstrika I have no chance well I lose of course and now it's time to go out of town the path on the right for exploration and embarissment at being so weak.
Alright so on the way out talk to the coach guy to get a Macho Brace, I'm not giving it to my pokemon. Well proceed to begin route 16.
Gantle at level 23 can learn Smack Down which is where the user throws a rock at the opponent knocking it to the ground or knocking a flying type out of the air. I had Gantle learn it and forget Tackle.
Go up the first path you can go up via and cut the tree to get access to the area that goes straight up to get a Rare Candy that is just sitting there. Keep going the up path to access the LostLorn Forest which we will return to later on. For now lets finish Route 16.
I went up the second up path and caught a level 22 Minccino with a ultra ball (that somehow I got 14 of before I used it). It evolves into Cinccino via a Shiny Stone so it's nickname is Chillaccino which is too long so I named it Chillaccin. Alright the starting moves are: DoubleSlap (repeatedly slaps target 2 to 5 time back and forth), encore (makes target us the same move for 3 turns), Swift (star rays are shot at the opposing team and it never misses), and Sing (remember Jigglypuff yep its the same move the user sings a lullaby putting the target to sleep).
I on my way out to look up the move set caught a Solosis at level 22 with a ultra ball (took 2 of em to get her). It evolves by leveling up first into a Duosion then into a Reuniclus so I nicknamed her Lanculus. It's move set/starting out moves are: Snatch (steals effects of healing or stat-changing move that the target tries to use), Hidden Power (attack that varies in type and intensity based on the pokemon using it), Light Screen (wall of light is put up to duppress damage from special attacks for 5 turns), and Charm (lowers the target's attack by staring at it charmingly).
Go all the way up the second up path to get a TM Payback that's just sitting there. Then go back down a little and go behind the fence all the way to the right to get a Charcoal. I gave it to Hihidaruma cuz that Fire Punch might be a way to beat those Emolgas. Anyways continuing down the path.
Well at the end of the path is a some idiots saying the Marvelous Bridge is being checked, so turning around it's time to check out Lostlorn Forest.
Zebraika evolved into Zebstrika at level 27.
When you first enter Lostlorn forest go straight to get a Big Mushroom. Then that is all pretty much too it.... Just some woman who says nothing lives in the back. No idea how to get up the cliff to get a hidden item either. Back to town to try again against that gym leader.
I don't know how I managed but with 2 pokemon left on my team I beat her. She gives you the Bolt Badge so that pokemon up to level 50 will obey you. She also gives you her evil move TM Volt Switch. I'm so teaching that to a pokemon it lets you electrify the opponent and switch to a different pokemon in the same turn. She also says she'll make a path to wait for her on Route 5 so we can go to Driftveil City. First heal time though and switching around pokemon and leveling up some over on the Route 16 path and forest off of it for a bit. Maybe level 30 should be sufficient.
I had Zebraika learn how to Volt Switch and forget how to Pursuit.
Now we are practically halfway through the game and this blog entry comes to an end leveling up fun next time! :D
