Fought Team Plasma, learned about hidden grottoes, battled Charles in a rotation battle, crossed the Driftveil Drawbridge, and saw the two different Team Plasmas argue. After that, the old Team Plasma told me where their Team Plasma was in Driftveil and if I waned to hear their story to head there. I, of course, tryed to get right into the Pokémon Tournament. Failing an being tld it wasn't available yet and that I should get my fifth badge...I tryed sneaking in past his other side to be told the same thing. v.v
Went to hear the old Team Plasmas story. Before going inside, I would have to defeat Rood. I was trying to level up the weaker fully ev trained pokes I had with me and I prolly had to restart the battle for them to get the most out of it, but we did beat him. He was a tough battle for them. Can't remember all the battle's details. His herdier would do work ups and boost his take down's power. I remember Maiden at the end battling his swoobat. Kept tryin to paralyze it with lick and after many tries, paralyzed it, but don't remember it missing an attack from it. It did attract Maiden. I'd be all like "Don't fall for it, it's not real love." Finally, with like VERY little hp I believe, I took a risk and had her use water gun to take it out. I told her to think of the unnamed pansage (who's basically like her training buddy right now) and the attack hit. Rood invited us inside then. After informing me about things, he offered me N's zorua which I accepted. I had no room in the party, so I had to head to the center to make room.
Heading back inside, I was surprised to encounter a zoroark. It played a vision of two old Team Plasma members talking about things ending with them leaving the buildin not realizing N was there listening to them. Team Plasma's story is a lot to take in. After the vision played, the zoroark vanished and I was left in an empty house. The people and pokémon from before weren't there. Confused, I exited and re-entered. I was confused and Rood looked at me puzzled. It must have all been an illusion the zoroark created. After gethering my thoughts, I accepted N's zoroa and headed back to the Center to get my team ready for the gym battle.
WOW...unlike the other gyms, this remodel did not impress me. The music wasn't great and the obstacles were annoying and confusing in that there was too many unneeded platforms. Did not care for this gym. In fact, I think I liked the old version a lot when I went through Black. Anyway, the battles are getting tougher, though I was trying to level up lower level pokémon with like around maybe three level difference in most of the battles? But we got through them all and healed up and went to battle Clay. Trying to even up the levels I think, out of Maiden and the pansage, one took out the krokorok and the other the sandslash. The excadrill gave us a lot of trouble with trying to get them leveled. Used LOTS of items (even accidently used a revive on the wrong, unfainted, pokémon, and instead of saying can't use it on them, I miss a turn of battle >: ( ). Finally I just decided to use Lilwun who wasn't out of the water (lol, pun). He's still not ready to battle like Yunowun yet. Had to heal up his hp while taking out the excadrill. But with a razor shell he took out that thing after it healed to maybe having 2/3 hp from its sitrus berry. Yay, for ev training it in attack. Did so much better than Maiden's water gun. Her sp atk is hindered stat I believe and she's more of an attack pokémon. But I realize the monkies really could use an evolution, just not yet since need them to learn more level up moves.
Now it's time for the PWT. Can't wait. ^^
