Here we go people, for my second up-date in this scramble, that I must say, is making my head feel more pain than never AND is the responsible for my funniest pokémon playing ever.
Another thing I must say: Now I really know what Ash felt with his Charizard. If you think you know, I need to say you don't. Only now I know how is to fight with a pokémon that doesn't care about what you're trying to say to him.
Last chapter I stoped at Floaroma town.
After talk with everybody,and discover that a little girl is searching for her father, I went to that little place where the galactic guys are trying to do something weird to a man...
I saved him, and in exchange he gave me a...key...ok.
I went to the other place full of bad people that I don't know the name(I think it's Valley Windworks, but whatever). And fight everybody with SuperStuff. Actually, I started all the fights with Trusty, just to train him a little, and then changed to SuperStuff, so, my little Surskit soloed everything.
And then I took the way to Eterna City. Mission: Grind Trusty to level 29~30(he was 12). I tought it would be painful...It was.
Imagine yourself in this situation: You need to train a pokémon that don't obey you and can't hold another thing that isn't a BLACK SLUDGE for 16 levels. The only thing I could imagine was: Pokémon Center. And I REALLY went to the pokémon center after each battle, until level 14.
I think one hour passed doing this, until I decide to go to the Eterna Forest. And there I saw the light in the tunnel!
That girl, that beautiful girl, that asks you to help her. She CURES your pokémon after each battle! Man, I can grind for the eternity here, I taught.
And I did it.
It was 1 a.m when I finished the grind. Trusty was lvl 29. I was with a monferno now and I decided to try my luck with Gardenia.
I spent all my money in Para Heal, Awakening and Super Potions(5, 10, and 14 respectively(In total: 7, 11 and 14). Went to the gym, fought all the trainers there with SuperStuff and looked to Gardenia. Now it's pain time, I taught.
First battle:
Trusty obeyed me in the first attempt, setuping the Rain Dance(obligatory).
Then he ignored me twice, I used a super potions(he was in yellow, due to two grass knot and the black sludge). In the third turn, Turtwig used Sunny Day =D. I read on billion times my restrictions for Trusty, he need to use it in the first turn of the battle. Only in the first turn(exception is the Championship battle). I'll say again: Only in the first.
I tried the flamethrower again, and Trusty obeyed me. Burn Turtwig, burn!
Next was a happy Cherrim in the sun. Trusty decided to take a rest(I have rest in my M7, before he gets Spite...I don't use it, but HE uses...).
I woke him and he was already in red, after one Super Potion, he ignored me two times again(I noticed that he would survive 3 grass knots). I used another super potion. He used Flamethrower, just to make her Charrim be in the yellow, Cherrim used grass knot, Trusty loaf around and a critical hit grass knot finalized him. I had no revives of course. 1st fail.
2nd battle:
Well, Trusty ignored me 3 times, and then set-uped Rain Dance. He was in the red, so I used Super Potion(I will call it SP) when Turtwig was making the sun brighter. Trusty burned the little thing, just to meet his Cherrim. After Loafing around, taking a Nap(and being awakened) , Resting(the same), drinking I guess 5 SPs, he died again to a combination of grass Knot and Black Sludge(I miscalculated and tought he would survive). 2nd fail
3rd Battle: This battle was horrible.
To make it short, Trusty ignored me ALL THE TURNS. My SP were gone, all my death fodders were dead, and he was still ignoring me, loafing around, taking naps and rests, using solar beams(he never used Flamethrower when I say to him to use Rain Dance, it's impressive) and pretending he couldn't hear me. After all this, he faint to a TURTWIG. This isn't something I'm proud off.
4th battle:
Unlikely the last battle, Trusty used Rain dance and burned Turtwig when I said him to do. And he stoped there.
This was the first battle Cherrim used Leech Seed. I discovered soon enough that Trusty couldn't deal with it, because, with it, he died in two turns, without CH(two turns that he spent loafing around and taking a nap). Failed the third time to this fucking Cherrim
5th battle:
I spent 5 turns to burn the little turtle, and one SP. Not a big deal. The turtle just gave me one gift: Sunny day
Trusty finally Trusted me and FRIED THAT CHICKEN AND... actually, it's a Cherry, not a chicken, and he did'nt fried it, he put it in the red. But, but, but, but, let's say it again? BUT. Gardenia helped me with one thing: A Marvelous and Delicious SITRUS BERRY. Cherrim went to the yellow! Even in the rain(even if Trusty use Rain Dance) he can kill her aaaaand Gardenia won't heal her, because she is in the red =D. Yeepee.
After, 3 rain dances, 2 death fodders(sorry NO WEAK and Cacophony), one billion ways to do whatever he wanted, and, I guess, 5 SP(I was with 8 left), he used flamethrower in the rain.
Now it was time to face Roserade for the first time.
When she attacked me the first time, I noticed that I was pretty, pretty fucked. I only had one turn to faint it(due to her attack with Magical Leaf and my beloved Black Sludge. And, of course, Trusty used the Last Rain Dance
My strategy was simple: Wait her to use stun spore, to fry her.
She used it on the second turn, he obeyed me, and then the little flower lost 1/3 of her health. Thank you rain dance, I love you equally to Trusty and Onions.
She started to spam magical leafs, and I started to use my death fodders. With only SuperStuff and Chumchar in the bench, she used another stun spore, and BELIEVE ME, TRUSTY SOLAR BEAM USED AND ONLY DUD PITFULL DAMAGE!!!!!!!!. A little balder, I started the process again.
With only SuperStuff alive, I was without SP. She killed it with a beautiful magical leaf.
Trusty, the troll, entered in the battle and used the Flamethrower. Again, her sitrus beautiful berry saved my chances like a boss. Guessing that a flamethrower could faint it, I tried flamethrower.

But Trusty decided to Rest a little. But, god looked to me and smiled, making her use Poison Sting. I guess I love gardenia.
I woke him up, and she used stun spore...she made it. Now I have a paralyzed Tauros with 60(I guess) HP left. Making fast calculations, I only had one turn leaf(because of para hax).
AND-TRUSTY-MADE-IT.
She used, of course, Magical Leaf, with 10 HP left(close to it), the bull burned the flower!
MVP of the battle: Sitrus Berry
I swear to god, I never felt so boss in my entire life! Never! I taught I could fly. I soloed gardenia with a disobeying Tauros, with only SP. Attacks that holds Black Sludge all the time!
I think I can solo Cynthia with a Magikarp now...not.
And this is it. I turned the DS off, at 3 am, only after saving the game 10 times. And went to bed with a smile in the face.
