Challenge Pokemon Scarlet Monotype Run (Grass) (Completed!)

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Alfornada Grassland

I'm definitely worried when I see you speak in Dark Language, sir!

Well, I'm not too worried about a Raichu!

Electric Terrain? In front of Quince? Really?

Why do you have random Fighting-type coverage!

I told you not to set Electric Terrain up, since we were setting Grassy Terrain anyways!

This trainer seemed to love Electric-type Pokemon, with an Eelektross being his second Pokemon! I can respect him for being loyal to his favorite type!

Unlike Eelektross, Redcurrant got to benefit from the Grassy Terrain and knocked Eelektross out with Bullet Seed!

Using Thunder in a snowstorm is probably not the best idea!

Cloudberry got to try his Wood Hammer out and it hit so hard!

You might've heard of the Olive Roll, but have you heard of the Elephant Roll?

At this point, I'm calm seeing Murkrow and Honchkrow.

Shiny Stone is a wonderful item because you can use it to get ... Roserade ... Togekiss ... Florges? Really? That fake flower?

Giga Impact is a powerful move with a hugh drawback, so I don't think I'm using this TM yet. This could be a great addition to Hawthorn's moveset though.

Flareon could've been dangerous with its strong power, but it couldn't take a hit from Coconut!

Let's take a look at what's over there!

That was a mistake!

Kids, remember to stay away from waterfalls!

Recurrant learned Seed Bomb, which is more reliable than Bullet Seed at least!

Earth Power and Play Rough are both wonderful coverages our team desperately need!

We needed to make more of those TMs, but we most definitely did not have enough for Earth Power!

Before we went to the gym, we gave Quince a Grassy Seed, since you guys told me this item regenerates after every battle!

Nemona Battle

Nemona came to congratulate me on my sixth Gym Badge, but we all knew she wanted more than that!

Time for another fruitful battle!

The biting menace was back!

Lycanroc is a fast Pokemon, but at least Lime didn't flinch this time and cut through the rocky wolf with Leaf Storm.

Nemona's Goomy evolved into a Sliggoo. I bet it doesn't like snowstorm though!

Dragons usually don't survive Avalanche accidents.

Pawmot is Pawmi's final evolution ... even though they look more of less the same!

Pawmot barely survived a Leaf Storm! Unfortunately for us, we had to take the harsh Sp. Atk drop!

Well, we had to finish Pawmot off with Shadow Ball.

Quince versus Quaquaval will be the final show of today!

Both sides Terastallized their Pokemon! Quaquaval seemed to be ready for this, since it had Air Slash to fight Quince!

We got to activate Grassy Seed thanks to Seed Sower!

Quince is just too strong under Grassy Terrain and he easily handled Quaquaval!

We did it again! Woohoo!

Nemona took that lose so well. I am really thankful I have her as my rival!

We just needed two more Gym Badges! The Champion Assessment is getting closer and closer!

Um, I think I might fail this test if it involves exercising...

Oh, the test is about practicing emotions. Ok then!

Man, I am so excited and nervous and worried and delighted and confident at the same time.

My battle studies teacher is the one hosting this Gym Test! Not that I've been studying but cool.

ESPberry

It's time to get emotional!

I'm surprised by how fun this Gym Test is!

I'm mad this is not a Grass-type Gym!

I'm happy I'm getting my seventh Gym Challenge!

I'm excited about what's coming next! Pokemon battles!
Also, please excuse my dear Lime who had the same smug face expression throughout the whole practice!

Gothorita might be good at reading emotions, but how does it fare in battles?

Well, it went down with one Shadow Ball!

Redcurrant is probably the embodiment of anger!

When you're angry, you throw giant seed bombs at your opponents!

I'm excited for a second round of emotion practice, but I'm not going to bore, upset or enrage you! Let's skip to the second battle!

Grumpig is a rather bulky Pokemon, so we had Lime wear it down with Will-O-Wisp!

Lime was having an emotional breakdown when it got hit by Psyshock!

Grumpig went down after two rounds of Shadow Balls! Lime was left with low health after that fight, so we had to switch it out!

Having Quince face a Medicham was not my wisest decision.

At least Quince set up Grassy Terrain before going down!

Medicham is not messing around! Redcurrant was not bulky enough to take a hit at all! With two of my Pokemon knocked out by Medicham, I was feeling really nervous!

Well, I forgot that Lime does not go well with Grassy Terrain and used Leaf Storm. As expected, that was not enough to remove Medicham.

Medicham was trying some weird shenanigans with Acupressure, which gave us another chance to knock it out!

The final Pokemon we faced was an Indeedee, a strong support Pokemon!

Indeedee tried to boost itself with Calm Mind! I guess that's a kind of emotion as well!

Vengeful is not a very positive emotion, but Payback is definitely ok as a move!

That second battle was quite an emotional roller coaster! But we toughed it out with our determination to success! Let's hope the Gym Battle will be smoother than that!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Seventh Gym Battle

I'm so ready to challenge the Gym Leader!

The Gym Leader seemed to be a busy person with much work outside maintaining the Gym. I recalled seeing her in some beauty product ads!

But we were there to fight, not to talk about make-ups! Tulip is a Psychic-type user who led her team with a Farigiraf!

Our strategy was to send out Cloudberry first!

We had the same idea for our first turn! But Cloudberry's Aurora Veil was more powerful since it protects the team from all sorts of damage!

Cloudberry became so bulky under Snowstorm + Aurora Veil!

Farigiraf is also a bulky Pokemon, especially under Reflect. So, we decided to nerf its stats through Icy Wind first!

Avalanche would've been a great move to use, if it weren't for Reflect!

We needed a strong Special Attacker to break through Farigiraf's defense. So, we sent out Lime!

Giraffes eat leaves but leaves cut through giraffes!

Since Lime's Sp. Atk was harshly lowered, we had to send out Redcurrant for Gardevoir instead.

Gardevoir tried to attack Redcurrant using mind power!

But we were prepared for this! Redcurrant gained some bulk with Sitrus Berry!

Redcurrant knocked out Gardevoir preying its low Defense!

Tulip's next Pokemon was Espathra, a psychic-using bird! Honestly, not something I'd like to see...

Well, at least Espathra wasn't trying to peck us or anything like that.

Our Aurora Veil wore off! Time for us to show our true defensive capability!

Well, Redcurrant has very low defensive capability.

Durian was our backup plan!

Even a fast Pokemon like Espathra could not go faster than Sucker Punch!

You can't send out a flower against me! Oh wait, your Florges is a fake flower!

To make matters worse, Tulip Terastallized her fake flower into a Psychic-type! We all know that flowers don't possess psychic powers!

Florges' Terastallization made her vulnerable to Night Slash!

Guava had to take a Moonblast in return! He had been taking special damage pretty well thanks to Assault Vest! In hindsight, we should've Terastallized Guava as well.

We showed Florges what real flowers do! And that is knocking out imposter flowers!

Tree pose for our victory and our seventh Gym Badge!

Flower Field

Like I said, flowers don't possess psychic powers, so this would not be too useful for us!

We met Rika again on our way out! But this time with a little kid by her side!

Her name is Poppy! Poppy seemed to be really confident in her battling skills!

Well, I see why she was so confident. She is an Elite Four member!

Thank you Poppy! I'd love to battle you one day too!

We went back to exploring the North Province, because we were hunting something special!

We saw Director Clavell in the middle of the flower field. Maybe he was out here sniffing flowers too?

Cassiopeia was definitely not trustworthy, since they hacked my phone. But at the same time, they gave me so many LPs and they had been actively helping in disbanding Team Star. I'm really confused about them.

Just when we thought we were done for Psychic-type Pokemon...

Trick could be an interesting strategy, but I'd rather Lime focus on attacking and burning its foes.

This is a great place for training since there are so many Chansey roaming around!

Almighty Sunflora and some (fake) flowers hiding in the flower land.

The leader of Ruchbah Squad was called "Master Ortega". Is he some sort of master trainer? I'd rather save him for later then!

Great, a Medicham. Not like I had struggle against one of these.

Kiwano was not happy about getting kicked in the face.

Not sure what Medicham was trying to achieve with Power Trick, but that gave us an opportunity to knock it out!

The power of music versus the power of fruits!

Level 50? She is surely a strong trainer!

Literally no one in this world is scared of Kricketune, even if it uses Swords Dance.

Hey, your singing cricket is poisoned! I hope you can still perform your music!

OH MY FREAKING GOD IT KILLED MY MUSHROOM

KILL IT WITH FIRE! QUICK!

Not sure how Grumpig is related to music, but a psychic pig using Calm Mind can get scary very soon!

Case in point. Redcurrant barely survived that, but we still ended up being the victor of this fight!

Hey, don't think I didn't see you peeking at our battle!

We caught Fomantis, but we would probably be better off catching Lurantis as well.

Tangerine the Lurantis is our newest addition, and probably the last Pokemon we catch in a while!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Snowy Mountain

The flower field had some pretty strong Pokemon, so I went to explore Glaseado Mountain past Montenevera to see what's around!

A bird Pokemon that I don't mind seeing!

After trying to hunt down Lurantis for so long, I found a crystal with a Tera Raid Battle against Lurantis...

Pawmot might be threatening to Normal-type Pokemon like Hawthorn.

But Hawthorn had Zen Headbutt!

Except Zen Headbutt missed.

That was a really eventful turn.

Hawthorn seemed to have issues aiming for Pawmot in the snow!

Meanwhile, Pawmot connected Arm Thrust 5 times.

We tried to get some health back with Horn Leech, but it wasn't enough to save Hawthorn. Maybe it really wasn't a great idea after all.

Instead, we had Persimmon drain Pawmot's life force.

We could see a Gym atop the mountain!

We found a snowflake!

This snowflake was probably made of paper!

The Gym was actually not that far away and it was just located in the middle of nowhere. There are no towns or cities here.

We received a TM for Blizzard, and there was nothing else we could do with it other than teaching it to Cloudberry.

We had some training to do before fighting the Gym, so we left it behind for right now.

Avocado versus long dragon boi.

Dragonair barely survived! Honestly, Avocado needs a little bit more power!

Hawthorn got Double-Edge, which is superior to Take Down! It will also be Hawthorn's strongest move now!

Oh no, is this place haunted?

Froslass is such a fast Pokemon it outsped Lime! Maybe we shouldn't have messed with it!

Lime's Shadow Ball came close in defeating Froslass! But it lacked the power needed because Lime's not a Ghost-type Pokemon anymore!

But Lime managed to take Froslass out eventually!

Persimmon tried to learn Rage Powder, but I'd rather have more useful moves.

With Froslass gone, Avocado could clear the field!

AHHHHH I'M SLIDING OFF

PLEASE STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

I slid so much we were in a different area! I hope I never slide off a snowy cliff ever again.

Another Earth Power TM found! We can get more Pokemon to get coverage now!

Speaking of coverage, Guava learned Play Rough! It would be so useful when we need to fight Dragon-type Pokemon!

Oh no! A Level 53 Glalie is as scary as its face looks like!

Avocado couldn't land a move first and she got knocked out by Glalie instead!

Cloudberry was probably our best bet against Ice-type Pokemon right now! But I might've accidentally given Glalie some Defense by setting up snow!

Frost Breath is an annoying move since it always lands critical hits!

Glalie's breath was too frosty for Cloudberry to handle and Cloudberry barely damaged Glalie at all! This is getting bad!

Even bulky Pokemon like Persimmon couldn't take a hit at all!

Hawthorn was faster than Glalie, but he wouldn't be able to do much thanks to snow. So, I had him use Thunder Wave instead!

Sorry Hawthorn! Your sacrifice will not be in vain!

With the snow stopped, we had a better chance in this!

Guava showed Glalie a magic trick and knocked it out with flowers! Finally!

Slippery Slope

Have I mentioned I don't like cold weather? Anyways, we came back to the Gym after getting bullied by that Glalie. It couldn't possibly get worse than that, right?

Nemona came here to cheer us on for our final Gym Badge! We'll make this fruitful!

Well, last time I ran on a slope, I got 4 of my Pokemon defeated by a wild Glalie.

Yup, slippery trail. And there will be a Glalie waiting for me at the finish line.

Not gonna lie, this looks way more difficult to slide than the one I just slid on.

*yawn* I did the Gym Test. Yay.

Let's see what the gym has to offer us!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

The Final Gym Badge

We were so ready to battle the final Gym Leader!

All we saw in the battle court was a Cetoddle! Could it be the Gym Leader?

Never mind, the Gym Leader is actually a snowboarder called Grusha.

Grusha was really confident in himself! Rightfully so, as I heard he is actually the strongest of all Gym Leaders in Paldea!

Here we go!

We led our team with Hawthorn, facing against Frosmoth! Unfortunately for us, we needed to face an icy moth, but I trusted Hawthorn to handle this thing!

Frosmoth went down with just one Double-Edge! Double-Edge is so useful in taking down Pokemon that resist Grass!

The only downside to Double-Edge is, of course, the recoil damage it brings. Hawthorn wears himself down very quickly because of this.

Grusha's second Pokemon was Beartic! Time for us to send out one of our heavy hitters, Avocado!

Avocado couldn't quite defeat Beartic in one hit.

And Avocado was knocked out with a strong Icicle Crash!

We can always rely on Redcurrant to fight Ice-type Pokemon!

Beartic stood no chance against Flamethrower!

Grusha sent out Cetitan next! Not as adorable as Cetoddle, Cetitan definitely is more threantening!

Cetitan had a respectable bulk, which allowed it to survive a critical hit Flamethrower!

Although Redcurrant is not weak to Water, he still got knocked out by Liquidation! Cetitan is a really strong Pokemon!

We had Hawthorn cleanup Cetitan! He still took some recoil damage since Cetitan has a pretty high HP.

Grusha's final Pokemon was an Altaria! We certainly had some unpleasant experience fighting this thing, so I was not too excited to see it again!

After seven Gyms before this one, we were well prepared with a Terastallized Pokemon at the end of the fight.

Altaria knew Hurricane, which would've been really bad for us! Luckily, Quince dodged that attack!

That gave Quince an opportunity to set up Light Screen!

Quince couldn't dodge Hurricane a second time, but at least he didn't take that much damage thanks to Light Screen!

As per usual, Quince got to set up Grassy Terrain by taking a hit! But Altaria was so bulky it didn't mind taking a boosted Energy Ball!

Altaria blew through our Light Screen with a critical hit!

We had to send our ace against Grusha's ace! So, we had Guava finish Altaria off!

We had Guava learn Power Gem just for this! Though it came short knocking Altaria off!

Guava could take a Hurricane with Light Screen and Assault Vest, but he got confused by that!

Of course, Guava hit through the confusion and landed a Power Gem to finish the fight!

That was a truly amazing performance from Guava!

Grass can melt Ice too!

We got us our final Gym Badge! Can't wait to see what happens next!

Grusha is certainly a cold person, but he still gave us a TM as gift!

Nemona and Geeta were speculating on our fight against Grusha!

Pokemon League is next! The day I show the world I am the best Grass-type trainer will finally be here!

We will visit the Pokemon League soon! But not before we finish up other business!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Grassy Fields

We went back to the North Province because we saw a Team Star Base nearby!

Redcurrant learned Solar Beam and Overheat from some wild battles! Solar Beam surely would go well with the Sunny Day strategy she currently has, but not so much for Overheat.

We started off our day with a Bug/Fire special.

Acid Spray is a good way to weaken foes that quad resist our moves!

With a harshly lowered Sp. Def, Larvesta couldn't take any more Special hits!

Eelektrik is a Pokemon without any weaknesses! We have to rely on raw power to defeat it!

But Eelektrik couldn't bite through our boosted Defense!

Oh no a Hawlucha!

Hawthorn got kicked by a wild Hawlucha!

Coconut's lower Defense will always be his biggest flaw!

Phew! That was close! From a wild Pokemon nonetheless!

I hope this elephant is not going to eat my fruits!

Coconut almost became dinner for all the elephants around!

A wild Espeon appeared!

Coconut instead became dinner for Espeon!

Hey Espeon, spit that Coconut out!

This area leads back to the snowy cliffs, so I think I'm not going further than that!

Our fruitful efforts in battling trainers around rewarded us with a TM for Leaf Storm! Of course, everyone on my team can learn it, but we certainly did not have enough to make more of that TM!

A wild Blissey! It should be a great time to train my Pokemon!

Slamming into a Blissey hurt you quite a lot...

Just Beachy

There is a beautiful beach around the area, and we can see Wugtrio lurking around.

Time for Coconut to learn some better moves! Giga Drain would certainly help his longevity!

We are not going out in the ocean.

There is a small flowery field below the Glaseado Mountain snowy hills!

Our plants desperately need some Pollen Puffs!

You really can find Skiddo or Gogoat in any forms of hills or cliffs.

Look at that one! It is definitely one of the larger specimens!

We had Redcurrant play with the Gogoat! At least Kiwano was not here to see this!

Persimmon versus hair monster!

First step to take down a hairy monster is too badly poison it.

And then you use Venoshock! Then it's gone!

Playing around the beach risks getting caught by a Kilowattrel.

I guess Kilowattrel must be tired flying around the beach.

We found a secret cave next to the beach, and the first thing we saw was a Deino!

Steel Beam certainly sounds like a powerful move! If only there is a Steel-type Pokemon for me to use!

WE found a wild glowing Pawmo! It wore an axe on its head!

Of course a small rodent like Pawmo would be easy to miss!

Oh you wanna Arm Thrust me?

I hope your arms don't hurt too much!

Pawmo was definitely not a difficult foe for Coconut to beat!

We had a nasty suprise waiting for us outside the cave!

Gyarados is undoubtedly intimidating, and Coconut was worn down by that Pawmo!

We tried to get some health back with Giga Drain, but Gyarados is a fairly bulky Pokemon!

Coconut was unfortunately mauled by the wild Gyarados.

Hawthorn was not sacred of Gyarados!

The Gatekeeper

With nothing much to do around the area, we agreed to battle with Harrington, who was guarding the Fairy Crew!

If we could handle big hairy monster, we should be able to handle small hairy monster too!

Lime was way too happy for being Tormented!

I guess Lime was just excited to unleash its electric power!

I guess we would need to follow up with Leaf Storm since we got hit by Torment.

Morgrem was scheming something and I don't like it!

You would think a Leaf Storm getting blown out from a lawn mower would be more accurate than this!

Well, I guess we just needed Thunderbolt to knock Morgrem out.

After small hairy monster went down, we had to fight small hat fairy!

Small hat psychic might be a better name, considering it is only a Psychic-type.

Leaf Storm is actually stronger than Shadow Ball even against something weak to Ghost!

Harrington was not that tough to beat, but I'm quite worried about this young Master he has been talking about! I guess we'll have to see what this young Master is up to next time!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

vs Ortega

Who have thought Mr. Harrington was the director the academy! That made me more curious about this "master guy" behind the gate!

The Ruchbah Squad Boss Ortega seems to be a young fellow, but if the former director is working for him, he has got to be someone with even greater power!

Team Star's usual strategy is to have us raid their base and defeat 30 of their Pokemon!

Time for Redcurrant to burn all these bread!

Passing the Team Star Grunts was not difficult, but we had to fight the boss next!

Ortega, the young master!

I'm glad my name is spreading around Team Star people, but this guy knows no respect! What did he mean underwhelming!

Time for us to fight the Fairy-type user Ortega!

Ortega led his team with an Azumarill and his nasty attitude!

Great time to set up Sunny Day, if he started the fight with a Water-type!

Azumarill sprang up to the sky and avoided our attack!

Azumarill might look like a small water bunny, but it packs huge power with its attack! Not a great start for us!

And then Ortega got to be all cocky again!

Azumarill was so tanky it took Lime's Thunderbolt!

Which meant Lime had to take a Play Rough in return!

It took us Redcurrant and half of Lime's health, but Azumarill was finally defeated!

Next up was a battle between Normal-type Pokemon, with Quince versus Wigglytuff!

Since Wigglytuff could be quite unpredictable with its Special moves, Quince set up Light Screen to protect the team!

Wigglytuff used Charm, even though Quince is not a physical attacker!

Wigglytuff just really wanted to be charming!

Thanks to Wigglytuff using Charm twice in a row, Quince took it down with no problem!

Today's special menu is Persimmon and bread!

Ouch, don't bite my Persimmon!

My Persimmon is not suitable as dinner because he is highly toxic!

Bread Dog was getting really hungry and bit my Persimmon so strongly it lowered his Defense!

Venoshock is wonderful for hitting a poisoned target!

Oh Fairy boy did not like that!

Fairy boy sent out his Pumpkin Coach Revavroom!

This illegally constructed Revavroom had Misty Surge and set up Misty Terrain!

Revavroom set up Misty Terrain just so it could roll Persimmon with Steel Roller!

Persimmon naturally had advantages against Fairy-type Pokemon!

As expected, it hurt quite badly when a car tried to crush you.

Next up we sent out Coconut! We had a plan for this!

We were not too worried about Revavroom, when we had Coconut with Acid Spray!

The Starmobile landed a critical hit on Coconut and almost knocked him out!

We needed to make some health back with Giga Drain!

But the Starmobile continued to roll Coconut over with its powerful attacks!

At least its Spin Out harshly slowed it down!

And we did some passive damage with Rocky Helmet!

We tried to heal with Giga Drain again, but that was not enough to save Coconut!

With Revavroom's Sp Def harshly lowered, Lime easily cleaned it up.

We defeated the Fairy Crew boss! We just need to disband one more crew of Team Star!

Fairy boy knows no manners, but he was kind enough to give us a TM.

We need to send him back to school just so he can learn some proper language.

Mr Harrington came back to escort Ortega to his piano lesson.

It shouldn't have been a surprise, but Ortega was actually bullied at school. Now I feel a little bad for him. Just a little. Like, as little as a Sunkern.

So, if I am understanding correctly, Team Star members formed the team because they were all bullied at the academy. The bullies got scared by Team Star and all left the school.

The reason why no one outside of Team Star knows the truth is because someone deleted records of the bullying!

There was someone taking all the blames for Team Star! This person has got to be someone important!

Now that I think about it, Cassiopeia always gets lost in thoughts after we defeat a Team Star Base.

Cassiopeia couldn't see Director Clavell's face, so they thought this "Clive" person exists!

Ok, Cassiopeia has got to be one of the Team Star members. Are they Giacomo? Ortega? Or who else?

Cassiopeia confirmed the backstory of Team Star, which also confirmed my suspicion of them being someone from Team Star. We need to meet this Cassiopeia someday!

Penny was back at it again as the supply unit!

Penny does not approve of the Team Star Big Boss.

We just have one more boss left to defeat!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Back for Snow

It's time for us to leave Ortega and his crew behind.

We found a snowy path around Glaseado Mountain! Gogoat are still everywhere around the mountain area!

We picked up an Aura Sphere TM, which is not too useful for us.

Redcurrant loves playing in the snowy hills!

Lime was also having fun in the snow!

NO! TOO MUCH SNOW!

We saw a giant lake below the mountain and you know what we should do.

Here I come!

Most plants do not have "steel-hard heads", so this probably won't be too helpful.

Difficulty Spike

We reached the Socarrat Trail! Looks like a beautiful area!

A shiny metallic bagworm sounds like a perfect thing for Redcurrant to fight!

Well, I guess it would take two Flamethrower to burn Forretress up.

Or Forretress would blow up itself to bring Redcurrant down. RIP.

A strong beetle like Heracross is not a great thing for Grass-type Pokemon to see.

Heracross knocked Redcurrant out with Megahorn before she could even strike!

Heracross continued to assault our Pokemon, this time by chopping Coconut's throat!

At least Coconut managed to chop its horn too with Rocky Helmet!

Heracross didn't really need it, but it doubled its power with Swords Dance!

As if Megahorn wouldn't be enough, Double Power Megahorn knocked out Coconut!

At least Heracross didn't try Megahorn again. Lime hung on with its life and sent Heracross back home!

Toedscool are around this area as well! At least there are something we can confidently defeat!

A Kebia Berry could be useful if we were to fight another Poison-type trainer!

Occa Berries, on the other hand, would always be helpful since there are so many Fire-type moves flying around!

Bug-type Pokemon around are threatening enough, and we ran into something worse! A very brave Staraptor!

It was so brave it didn't fear death itself!

Someone dropped their sushi on the ground!

Never underestimate the power of sushi!

Lime doesn't really need Discharge, when it has Thunderbolt and there aren't that many Double Battles around.

A quick way to train our Pokemon is to fight Chansey!

Yellow means danger! We learned our lesson from the Orange Tatsugiri and we will gobble you up before you can Dragon Pulse me!

Sleep Talk can be a fun strategy to use with Rest, but none of my Pokemon use Rest. So...

Strong Bug-type Pokemon are all eyeing on us! This Scyther probably wanted to cut through my fruits!

There is another way to get to the lake from the town! Maybe Pokemon over there would be friendlier?

Grass on the Other Side

We entered Casseroya Lake from Medali!

Well, it seems like sushi monsters are everywhere, no matter which side we are on.

Since sushi monsters are secretly dragons, we will blind them with Dazzling Gleam!

Another dangerous move Tatsugiri has is Mirror Coat! So we cannot use Dazzling Gleam safely if we are not directly knocking it out!

Today's special menu is Shroom'N'Sushi!

Sleeping Tatsugiri are not that scary!

Knock Off is a wonderful move! If trainers want to put items on their Pokemon that is!

That bear was straing at my apple menacingly, but that would not stop us from dancing!

Plan backfired! That bear had such a scary face!

Ursaring kicked Dragonfruit with High Bearpower!

Ursaring actually had a good strategy! Rest + Snore is a good combo to use!

But snoring bears can still be knocked out if you throw enough apples on their head!

An Ampharos! We had Dragonfruit stay in because of her boosts!

As a Grass-type expert, I know how to work around Cotton! So Ampharos couldn't save itself from the power of Dragonfruit!

You can't see me! You can't see me! You can't see me!

Coconut is our best team member to handle Poison-type Pokemon!

With one poison frog gone, we found a bigger poison frog!

Toxicroak living up to its name with Toxic!

A Titan is lurking around this lake! With how strong Pokemon around here are, the Titan must be a powerful one as well!

If only the Titan Pokemon would say "I'm the Titan"!

We climbed up a tower and found a Brave Bird sitting around! Or the TM that is! We have zero bird Pokemon on our team to use this!

We retreated back to Medali and saw a Dachsbun walking around!

But my keen observation identified its true identity as a Ditto!

An Electrode would be a fun Pokemon to use if it were a Grass-type Pokemon!

Electrode didn't like what I said, I guess.

To better prepare ourselves against Dragon-type Pokemon like Tatsugiri, we had Hawthorn learn Play Rough!

The good thing about watchtowers is we can fly back to them directly!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Exploring around the Lake

We flew back to the Casseroya Lake just to get destroyed by another Tatsugiri!

But Hawthorn learned Play Rough just for this!

There are even more dragons around, with Sligoo here!

We need to get better at slaying dragons!

Yet another Dragon-type around! At least we have had experiences fighting this dragon!

Altaria sang some death notes.

Altaria really wanted to sing its Perish Song!

We prevented Altaria's Perish Song from going off!

I got caught off guard by a wild Slowbro, who also got caught off guard by me!

Hey! You can't go around telling everyone clues of the Medali Gym Challenge!

Gengar's creepy smile is more chilling than an Ice Beam.

"To steal the life of its target, it slips into the prey’s shadow and silently waits for an opportunity."

We had to wear down Gengar a little bit with Grav Apple!

Unfortunately, Dragonfruit's life energy were all stolen by Gengar!

Gengar's shadow tricks did not work well against Guava!

This Pokemon had some strong Pokemon, with his second Pokemon being a Barraskewda with Double-Edge!

Well, Barraskewda was not really well known for its bulk!

Of course we had to end the fight with a big bird!

But Lime was trained to fight all sorts of Flying-type and it cleanly won the fight!

Ah, a fellow Grass-type trainer!

As a Grass-type trainer myself, I know Tsareena cannot do that much to threaten Dragonfruit! This was a perfect opportunity to set up Dragonfruit!

Your Leaf Storm would not do much against my plants!

Coconut finally learned Earth Power on his own! No more Mud Shot for us!

IMPOSTER ALERT! THIS GUY IS A FAKE GRASS LOVER LIKE BRASSIUS!

Only fake flowers would use Misty Terrain over Grassy Terrain!

You might be a fake flower, but I can still use Acrobatics to knock you out!

Time for Quince to sow more seeds!

An annual meeting of the Arboliva Believers Club. There are currently only two club members.

In the meeting, club members compared whose Arboliva grows stronger seeds.

Stirring up Petal Blizzard is not recommended by the Arboliva Believers Club.

Quince was declared the superior Arboliva!

I said "Stirring up Petal Blizzard is not recommended by the Arboliva Believers Club."

Another tower here means another flying point for the Flying Taxi!

(Kids at home please do not attempt to do this! There are no Rotom Phones to save you in real life!) I climbed up the short wall and took a great selfie with the giant lake!

Searching for the Titan

We found a TM for U-turn! Now we can have someone else use U-turn other than Guava and Raspberry!

Cloudberry versus Mismagius! Mismagius can learn Mystical Fire so Cloudberry couldn't stay in!

Well, it also learns Power Gem, so switching out was indeed a good idea!

Burn the witch, not burn the fruit!

Honestly I am fine with Tatsugiri removing itself with Memento.

Hey Tropius! Are you the False Dragon Titan? You look pretty much like a dragon!

Reversal is a good move to pull out at desperate times!

Woah! This Pokemon is huge, just like the Titans we saw!

Dondozo certainly looks powerful just like all the Titan Pokemon!

Well, nothing happened when Dondozo fainted, so I guess it was not the Titan after all.

Turns out every Dondozo around is a humongous beast!

Hey, you can't just say that at Coconut's face!

Uh-oh. Maybe we are the dinner for tonight.

Scizor can probably just knock out our entire team but lifting its head.

You know what? I would flinch too, if I were Cloudberry.

Why does every scary-looking Bug Pokemon have Swords Dance?

At least that gave us time to put Aurora Veil up! But that just neutralizes Swords Dance boost at this point!

This should not come as a surprise, but Cloudberry didn't quite make it!

Time to lower Scizor's Attack with some purple flames!

Well, Scizor wanted for more power!

Scizor looks like it would be a great electricity conductor!

Oh, and it just started raining for no reasons, as if we needed to make Scizor more powerful.

Well, Scizor went down after a few more Thunderbolt!

The next Pokemon was Slowking, which was much easier for us to handle than Scizor!

Oops, it turns out this guy wasn't calling Coconut tasty-looking. Maybe there is a Pokemon looking like a giant fruit lurking around! Let's find it!

Pretty much the moment we touched water, a Veluza came at us and tried to slice my apple.

Pokemon battles around the lake has not been very easy! Let's see what this Cryogonal has to offer!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Around the Lake Yet Again

Us leading with Cloudberry might have been a mistake, since that gave Cryogonal higher Defense as well!

Cryogonal wanted even more defense, by setting up Reflect!

Cloudberry's Wood Hammer barely hurt Cryogonal under snow and Reflect!

And Cryogonal even had Recover to heal itself!

Cloudberry couldn't really do much against Cryogonal, so I guess we should switch out.

We switched out to Lime, while Cryogonal was still trying to recover itself!

Cryogonal unleashed a strong Ice Beam!

We needed something to stop Cryogonal, so we cast some Will-O-Wisp on the snowflake!

Cryogonal's yet another attempt at Recover gave us time to switch back to Cloudberry, who was the only Pokemon on the team not weak to Ice.

Reflect and snow both went out, so Cryogonal should no longer have high Defense! We finally used Wood Hammer to its full power!

Before Cryogonal went down, it used its final breath to raise its Defense yet again.

Icy moth was the next one!

Well, we happened to have Power Gem on our team.

Kiwano learned Horn Leech, which is slightly weaker than Seed Bomb but it offers healing! This would pair nicely with Bulk Up!

The Ice-type assault kept coming with a Cloyster next!

Cloyster decided to use a Water-type move instead, and gave Quince the boosts he needed!

Cloyster stood no chance against a Grassy-Terrain boosted Energy Ball!

When there is a rain, there will be Toxicroak.

We saw a Terastallized Vaporeon in a lake! Easy training for my Pokemon!

I don't like surfing on the water here, because Dondozo always look like they are trying to eat me!

This place is surely a paradise for Dragon-type Pokemon.

Not sure what Bergmite was doing here, dragons don't like icebergs that much!

In this heavy rainstorm, we found a TM for Solar Beam! This would be really helpful if we want to expand our sun strategy!

We hadn't fought any Stunky before! Time to remove the stinky boy with Earth Power!

We might as well fight the big Stunky. Just another Earth Power for Coconut.

I wonder how cold this lake is, if there are floating icebergs everywhere!

Copperajah is an elephant made of copper!

For a Steel-type Pokemon like this, we use Leech Seed to drain its life force!

Copperajah's body is made of copper, but its head is made of iron!

We needed more power to knock Copperajah out, so we had Kiwano bulk up his body!

Bulk Up saved us from getting knocked out by Play Rough!

Our goat is better than your elephant!

Did I just hear someone say "sushi"? I must've been getting hungry.

Wait! "Titan"?

This Tatsugiri was shouting "Titan"! Let's take a look!

The False Dragon

"I, Titan"!

Shouldn't the Titan Pokemon eat herbs, instead of being eaten?

The Tatsugiri was a bait to lure Dondozo, the False Dragon Titan!

Hmm, Dondozo is weak to Energy Ball, so it really isn't a dragon. Something's wrong here.

Dondozo was so heavy it paralyzed Quince by slamming its body at him!

Dondozo, being a fake dragon, was easily handled by Quince! And then it started fleeing! Unfortunately, it was quite difficult to find where it went in this massive lake.

Oh, I found it!

Never mind, Arven didn't magically come in time to fight this Dondozo, so this must've been a fake one.

We found the lure Tatsugiri staring mindlessly at a stone wall.

The Titan Dondozo was back! And Arven arrived too! So we knew the real fight was up next!

I guess this titan eats sushi to power itself, instead of Herba Mystica?

The False Dragon Dondozo should not be too difficult for our Grass-type Pokemon!

Greedent used ... Tail Whip. It might seem like a bad move at first, but it allowed us to hit harder with Horn Leech!

Kiwano finished the titan with another Horn Leech, thanks to Dondozo's Defense being halved at that point!

We did it! The titan fight was surprisingly easy! Time to get our rewards!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

The True Dragon Titan

Wait ... Tatsugiri survived that and it was still shouting "Titan"! Could it be the real Titan after all?

Tatsugiri, the False Dragon Titan, is a real dragon despite its name!

Tatsugiri used Muddy Water and lowered Kiwano's accuracy!

Kiwano's bulking meal involves fresh sushi!

Arven decided to use the Tail Whip strategy again!

Tatsugiri was already faster than us, but it used Icy Wind to further lower our Speed!

Being a real dragon, Tatsugiri is not weak to Horn Leech! And the Titan could take several hits from Kiwano!

Not sure if I still want this sushi, but Tatsugiri kept shooting Muddy Water at us. Ew!

With Greedent down, we had to fight Tatsugiri with our own power!

Tatsugiri unleashed its true dragon power with Dragon Pulse!

Our bulked up Kiwano managed to take out Tatsugiri with Horn Leech! Time for our long-awaited sushi meal!

I guess Dondozo and Tatsugiri combined their strength to be one strong Titan! Surely an interesting fight to end our Herba Mystica hunting!

Time to unveil the true mystery behind Herba Mysticas! Let's see if they are magical enough to revitalize Mabosstiff!

As per usual we shared our sandwich with Koraidon and it gained new powers!

Arven was not too satisfied with the results of feeding Mabosstiff Herba Mystica...

Mabosstiff was recovered to full health!!!!!

I felt so happy for Arven! I am so glad we decided to help him out in our Treasure Hunt!

Professor Sada told us that Koraidon has regained most of its power! I feel happy for Koraidon too!

Right, I almost forgot Arven is Professor Sada's son.

Professor Sada wanted Arven and I to go back to the lighthouse. I wonder what's wrong there?

Arven ... does not have good relations with his mom. At least he has Mabosstiff with him now!

Last Thing to do

We had done 17 boss fights and only one left! We headed to North Province (Area One) to find the final Team Star Base!

We went back to Glasaedo Mountain to reach our destination!

We found a TM for Heavy Slam in some ruins! Not the best TM for us, since my Pokemon are not that heavy, but I'll take it!

I felt a chill down my spine...

We showed Spiritomb who the real chilly king is by freezing it!

The weather was getting warmer and we were seeing less snow! That had got to be a good sign!

From the tower here, I could see the area we were heading to! Seems like we have more grassy fields coming up next!

Kiwano: "Leif, use Tackle!"

Rare sight of Koraidon showing its hidden horns!

We finally reached grassland! And we finally encounter some friendlier Pokemon!

When I said friendlier, I excluded these crows.

Lucario are around this place! We could feel the wild Pokemon getting stronger and stronger!

I still prefer having the polite Indeedee around, though this one seemed a little bit more aggressive than the other one.

Oh, Raspberry was back on the team. We needed to train him up for a future fight!

Seed Bomb is a great move of course, but my Pokemon already had this or something better at this point.

Noivern are around this area! A combination of my two least favorite types to run into!

Noivern would not survive the Ice Age if it were around that time.

We found a TM for Swords Dance, which is compatible with several of our Pokemon! We will give this more thoughts in the future!

Cloudberry was assaulted by a Pokemon in the wild! Guess what it was!

It was Hawlucha the wrestling eagle! The wrestling angle went and KO Hawthorn as well!

Hawlucha was not just a professional wrestler, it was also a skilled dancer!

Quince almost got flying pressed too, but luckily we survived that fight!

Koraidon is VERY interested in this trainer!

Well, you don't make sandwiches with mangosteens!

A strong Dragon Tamer here! Let's try our odds against Dragon-type Pokemon!

Oh no, they found our Light Clay! They may have found out our strategy!

This Noivern was prepared for the incoming Blizzard with its Yache Berry!

But Noivern could not take an Avalanche after that! Cloudberry is getting better and better at freezing dragons!

There are more towers in this lake! Let's explore more around these towers!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Dragon Lake

Another Dragon-type trainer in the area!

Goodra might look cute, but it is known to eat grass! Let's remove this thing as soon as possible!

Well, Goodra did not want to see Cloudberry and send him flying with a Dragon Tail.

I guess Goodra would like to talk to Kiwano instead!

Their conversation did not end very well and Kiwano was sent away too.

Raspberry was tasked to be the dragon slayer and he succeeded!

Kiwano picked up a sword and learned Leaf Blade! Definitely an upgrade over Horn Leech in terms of power, so we had to give up our healing option.

Ew! Smelly!

Dragalge might not look like it, but it is definitely a dragon!

Dragalge had a Normal Gem that boosted Hyper Beam! Thankfully Cloudberry had enough bulk to survive that!

Being hit by Hyper Beam strengthened Cloudberry's Avalanche!

We kept getting caught by Hawlucha! How many times do I need to tell them I am NOT interetsed in wrestling!

A Barboach! This would be great for crafting TMs!

Petal Dance is a super strong move! But I'd rather have the option to switch between moves, so Quince did not learn Petal Dance right away.

We found Whiscash as well, who was shuddering the moment it saw Kiwano!

Bamboo Land

I love this place! There are so many Grass-type Pokemon around!

We had strong reasons to believe that the Team Star Base is located somewhere in the bamboo forest!

We could pick up Tiny Bamboo Shoots around the forest! Maybe we can plant a new bamboo forest on somewhere like a distant island too!

Operation Starfall was getting closer to the end with us going to tackle the final Team Star Base.

The base was just right over there, but I wanted to explore around a little first.

Bisharp is a Pokemon that can chop down plant Pokemon!

Bet you can't chop down my pepper Redcurrant!

Gengar is a strong Pokemon, but it was knocked out in one Earthquake! Too bad you can't levitate!

We found a TM for Fire Blast! There can only be one possible way to use this for our team!

Bruxish is a dazzling Pokemon! So dazzling that Kiwano used Leaf Blade to slice it up!

It disappointed me to see that so many trainers used Florges instead of real, genuine Grass-type Pokemon.

Persimmon was hit by a Moonblast! Mushrooms don't grow well under moonlight!

I bet your imposter flower doesn't like poison! Not like real flowers like poison anyways!

I can appreciate you growing grass on the field though.

Persimmon is a mushroom, and is alive.

Raspberry was probably not the best Pokemon to fight an Electric frog.

Raspberry was zapped to paralysis! We had to switch out!

I did not even send out Persimmon to fight you! But I guess Avocado counts as well.

I know that! That's the reason why I put Persimmon on the team!

The Arboliva Believers Club found their third member!

The Arboliva Believers Club is in charge of growing grass everywhere.

Let's take a moment of silence to pay respect to our lord Arboliva.

Oranguru's mind game is not something Avocado likes to play!

Let's see if Oraguru can still employ its nasty tactics in the snow-rainstorm!

A giant floating head! In the snow!

Glalie took a bite at Persimmon! Persimmon didn't quite like the cold!

Glalie doesn't really have a body, but it had Ice Body and healed itself!

Didn't bother Persimmon that Glalie was healing, because he was just going to drain its life force anyways.

Tanga Berry could be interesting if we need to fight Katy again in the future!

Some TM moves for our team. Play Rough is a great coverage move and Substitute is a good move for setup.

We had a quick training session with Raspberry and Persimmon to better prepare for the next fight.

A Big Bamboo Shoot! Now I feel lucky! Let's try our luck with the Team Star Base!

Open the Gate!

Director Clavell had a Pokemon fight with the Team Star boss! I didn't even know Director Clavell is a Pokemon trainer!

The Team Star boss, Eri was protecting her base because she wanted to see the big boss too!

Eri's underling, Carmen, challenged us for a fight to give Eri time to prepare for the big fight!

Raspberry is getting better and better at handling Fighting-type Pokemon! Hopefully the Team Star Base would be a piece of cake for him!

Our final fight with the Team Star crew is about to start!

 

[Force Majeure]

I'm having some issues with images in later posts, but I love the Grass-type run in this game: thank you for the inspiration! I think with Teal Mask in particular this generation is one of the best for Grass Types.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

I'm having some issues with images in later posts, but I love the Grass-type run in this game: thank you for the inspiration! I think with Teal Mask in particular this generation is one of the best for Grass Types.

Hmm I'm not too sure what the problem is, they look fine from my side

Scarlet/Violet is a great game to play Monotype in, and there are so many Grass-type Pokemon to choose from. Teal Mask basically revolves its plot around Grass-type.

Edit: If my calculations are right, Grass is the third most abundant type available right now!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Fighting Fighting-type

Cassiopeia seemed to know Team Star Bosses very well. After we're done with the raid, we need to interrogate Cassiopeia what they truly know!

One away from official Team Star disbandment. Losing isn't an option for us either!

Raspberry, Persimmon and Lime were all trying their best to defeat all the Pokemon thrown at us!

We were so exhausted from raiding the base we had to use the vending machine before we were done raiding!

We finally finished defeating 30 Pokemon around the base, but it was much tougher this time. This upcoming boss fight would not be that easy.

We challenged Eri to a fight!

A good start is half the battle and Raspberry definitely started off strong there!

Raspberry barely hung on with 2 HP left after taking a Poison Jab! But we should be able take out Toxicroak no problem!

Well, Sucker Punch is a big problem. We lost Raspberry before we even knocked out one of her Pokemon!

We sent Dragonfruit next as I had a strategy in mind!

I didn't expect Toxicroak to go for Poison Jab this time. Luckily, Dragonfruit took that and healed itself with Figy Berry!

Our strategy was to put up a Subsitutue! But Toxicroak went and took out the Substitute in one hit anyways.

Dragonfruit went for Dragon Dance to boost itself!

Toxicroak had so little health to begin with, we didn't really need Dragon Dance to knock it out.

What I was really worried was this Annihilape! It has a face you know you shouldn't mess with!

You're kidding me! Annihilape barely suvived a boosted Acrobatics!

Well, Dragon Dancing was fun while it lasted. With Annihilpae knowing Ice Punch, the situation was looking really bad for us.

Fighting Fighting-type Part 2

Hawthorn was fast enough to wrap up an unfinished foe like Annihilape!

Hawthorn might not fare well against Fighting-type Pokemon, but we were not going to give up that easily.

Because we were prepared for this moment!

Yeah ... Hawthorn did great but it wasn't quite enough.

Thankfully Passimian wasn't that fast and Lime cleaned it up with Thunderbolt!

Her next Pokemon was Lucario! We kept Lime out because dealing with Lucario would not be an easy task.

We burned Lucario hoping to nerf its attack!

But Lucario opted to use Aura Sphere anyways.

It was just better to zap Lucario with Thunderbolt. Anyways, four of her Pokemon were gone!

The fight was not over yet! Eri's final Pokemon was her Starmobile!

It took Revavroom one singular Torque to take Lime out!

We had only 2 Pokemon left! Kiwano was up next to hopefully save the day!

Bad news for us, Kiwano was immediately paralyzed by Combat Torque before he even did anything!

We were fighting Fighting-type Pokemon with our own Fighting-type move!

I was hoping Bulk Up would allow us to take more hits, but Eri had a move to boost Revavroom too. This was somehow getting worse.

Kiwano's Play Rough did just under half! But we should still be able to knock it out in two more hits!

Unless it boosted its Defense with Stamina! Our Bulk Up was completely nullified at this point.

Kiwano could still do it! He has always been one of the tankier Pokemon on the team!

Our Play Rough was doing less with each hit thanks to Stamina. But we couldn't really afford setting up Bulk Up because of the paralysis! This was tough!

Revavroom went for the boosts again! We needed to stop it before it grinds through the rest of our team!

No! Kiwano's paralysis kicked in at such a terrible timing!

Kiwano tried his best to endure the hit and we had one more go of Play Rough!

Kiwano couldn't aim very well at such a critical danger!

We were down to our final Pokemon!

Fighting Fighting-type Part 3

Persimmon was our last hope! We put our faith in him!

Revavroom used Shift Gear yet again! But Persimmon didn't seem too bothered by this!

We had probably used Clear Smog only once, but this was definitely the right time! Revavroom's stat boosts were all gone!

Revavroom tried to roll Persimmon over with Spin Out, but it didn't do that much to our bulky and defensive mushroom pal.

The Starmobile went down after our Giga Drain! We destroyed the final Starmobile!

From what we saw, Eri seemed to be a nice person. Did she get bullied too while she was studying at the academy?

TM for Close Combat is a great addition to our Fighting-type Pokemon!

We made Eri cry ... Now I feel like I'm the jerk.

Carmen spilled the beans with us after the boss fight. She and Eri were both victims of bullying in the academy! At this point, we can say for certain Team Star is not the bad guy here.

With all five squad bosses defeated, I believe we have only one person left to find.

But not before we obtained more TM recipes and materials!

I knew it! Cassiopeia was the mastermind behind all of these!

I don't understand the reason why, but the big boss of Team Star, Cassiopeia, was the one who asked us to disband the team.

At least Cassiopeia is not going to hide anywhere, and they will be waiting for us.

Director Clavell knew the true identity of Cassiopeia! Why didn't he tell me right away then?

That was a really rough fight, but we finally managed to finish our quests! The only thing left is to become a Champion now!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

One Last Thing

To test our ability to take down strong foes, to see if we are ready for the Champion Rank, to become the very best Grass-type Trainer like no one ever was, there is just one more thing to do ...

We must defeat the evil raven, The Shining Corviknight!

We might be feeling nervous, but we won't let that stop us! Go, Lime!

Let's show Corviknight what Grass-type Pokemon are capable of! Such as disrupting the foes and providing strong support to our teammates!

Your Roost is not going to save you!

After getting caught by so many Flying-type Pokemon, I've already thoroughly analyzed their weaknesses! They don't do well when they are hit by Thunderbolt in the rain!

Roost all you want, we will bring you down with our sheer willpower!

Your Iron Shield is not going to do anything against Lime's electrifying attacks!

Corviknight's Tera Jewel has been broken! Now is the time for us to show it what we've got!

Whip it up with a Leaf Storm!

HA! Your double resistance to Grass sounds like a joke to me!

To celebrate our victory, we take a selfie with the now-gone Corviknight!

We are now more than ready to take down the Pokemon League!

But the Champion Assessment is not going to be an easy assignment. We definitely need some time to plan our team and strategies!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Pop Quiz

We arrived the Pokemon League!

Our goal is to defeat Champion Geeta, to get officially recognized as a Champion trainer as well!

We could not be more ready to face the Champion Assessment!

The first part of the assessment is an interview!

My goal is, and always has been, to become a Champion.

I want to show the world what Grass-type Pokemon are capable of! So I need to be even stronger and become not just the best in Paldea, but the whole world!

The Glaseado Gym Challenge was quite chilling for me! Grusha had us good with his Ice-type Pokemon!

I would not forget Guava, my dearest Grass Cat I chose back from my hometown!

Hmm, I guess I'll repeat my answers: I need to be even stronger and become not just the best in Paldea, but the whole world.

I don't think I would be able to make this far if I don't like Pokemon!

Phew! That interview made me quite nervous! It was so hard like a school exam!

But the real challenge was what comes after the interview! We had to prove our powers by Pokemon battles!

Four strong trainers that we needed to defeat! The Elite Assessment is the true test of strengths!

After putting some considerations, this would be our first team to fight the Elite Four!

Rika (1)

Rika herself was the first Elite Four for us to fight!

Rika is a Ground-type Trainer, so she should hopefully not be too tough for us! She leads with a Whiscash that is quadruply weak to our team!

We tried a new strategy of setting up Poison Spikes as lead!

One annoying thing about Water-type Pokemon is how most of them learn Ice-type moves to hit us! Luckily for us, Guava dodged the Blizzard like a wizard!

Knowing that Whiscash had Blizzard, we immediately removed it from the field.

Rika's second Pokemon was the Fire-type Camerupt! Toxic Spikes should be handy in wearing it down a little bit!

Dragonfruit is not weak to Fire, so she should be able to set up in front of Camerupt!

Yawn would've been bad for a Dragon Dance setup, but Substitute blocked that!

Time for Dragonfruit to do a little dance!

Dragonfruit is half Dragon-type, but its flimsy defenses mean it still can't take Fire-type attacks that well!

We defeated Camerupt with the power of apple!

Rika's next Pokemon was Donphan! Another bulky Ground-type Pokemon for us to fight!

Instead of dropping another apple immediately, Drgaonfruit set up another Substitute.

That was a strong hit! Who would have expected an elephant to jab us with Poison!

Dragonfruit had lost some health when setting up Substitutes, but I wasn't too worried!

With the poison damage chipping in, Donphan couldn't tank hits with its Sturdy body!

Rika (2)

Rika sent out three Digletts at once Dugtrio!

Dugtrio is so fast it outsped Dragonfruit after her Dragon Dance! Sandstorm would make our Pokemon dirty, but hopefully that wouldn't be a big deal!

It was difficult to aim at Dugtrio when the sand was up!

The sandstorm brought Dragonfruit down to half her health, and she couldn't wait to eat her berry!

Dragonfruit flaps with her wings, but she isn't actually a Flying-type. Rock Slide was not that tough for her to handle!

Dugtrio couldn't take a Grav Apple at all when Grav Apple successfully connected. It certainly gave us quite a headache though!

Rika's final Pokemon was Clodsire, who soaked up the Poison Spikes on entry!

Clodsire shed its Poison-type by Terastallizing into a Ground-type!

But that left it vulnerable to Grav Apple, which knocked Clodsire in one hit!

With Clodsire down, we defeated one of the Elite Four members!

Rika is a strong trainer, but we naturally have an advantage with our Grass-type team!

The Elite Challenge is harder the farther we go!

The next trainer is Poppy! We better not underestimate her abilities even if she looks tiny!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Let's see if things get better with a smaller picture size!

Poppy (1)

Time for us to upgrade Avocado's attacking option!

Our team for fighting Poppy!

Poppy seemed to be quite confident in her Pokemon's defensive capabilities!

Poppy is a Steel-type Trainer, and she led her team with a Copperajah!

Copperajah might look beefier than Kiwano, but Kiwano hits the Gym every day!

Copperajah couldn't break through Kiwano's Defense after a Bulk Up!

Kiwano knocked out Copperajah in one Earthquake! The big elephant isn't as bulky as it looks!

Kiwano wants some protein shake after bulking up, but I'd rather him keep more coverage moves.

Despite Kiwano's boosted stats, we couldn't really let him stay in battle ...

Poppy put high pressure on our team by sending out her Corviknight!

Lime was trained for this! It can zap any birds to ground!

Well, that was unfortunate.

Corviknight unleashed its Flying power even against my Electric-type Pokemon. What a Brave Bird it is.

*claps* A round of applause for Corviknight's sacrifice.

A Shocking Discovery

(I only realize those red balls are its eyes today LOL I've always thought it just has no eyes)

(I'll never be able to look at Bronzong the same way now)

Poppy (2)

Lime was distracted by Bronzong's eyes and couldn't aim well!

Luckily for us, Bronzong isn't really an offensive Pokemon, and Lime took the hit quite well.

Burning your foe is a great way of crippling them!

This was a match of evasiveness!

Lime threw some shadow at Bronzong's eyes!

I thought Lime's a goner for a second! But it survived the hit with 1 HP!

Goodbye, Bronzong (and your oddly cute red eyes)!

Magnezone sounds like a great opportunity to send Coconut out!

This was the third time a Pokemon barely hung on its life in this battle! Though this one was expected with Magnezone's Sturdy Ability.

Magnezone managed to set up a Light Screen thanks to Sturdy. Not a problem for cleaning Magnezone up, but it would be a big issue for the next Pokemon.

Magnezone bit the dust with another Earth Power!

Power Whip is certainly a strong move that compensates Coconut's rather weak Attack stat! Hex, on the other hand, is really not that strong even with status conditions.

Poppy's final Pokemon was a Tinkaton! A tiny but fierce Pokemon!

A giant hammer was not enough for Tinktaton! She chose to hold an axe on her head well!

Kiwano was hammered to flat goat meat with Gigaton Hammer! That was such a strong move!

Avocado was up next!

Tinkaton was Terastallized into a Steel-type, but she still had STAB on Play Rough! Avocado couldn't quite take the hit that well!

Avocado tried out her new move Close Combat!

Avocado might not be good at taking hits, but she is one of the heaviest hitters on the team!

We defeated Poppy with our Grass power!

Mr. ... Larry? That Larry?

How is Larry a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member at the same time! At least this should go as smoothly as the Medali Gym Fight did?

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Larry (1)

Before the next fight, we gave Kiwano a new coverage move in Wild Charge!

Time to bring back Power Gem for Guava!

Third Elite Four fight incoming!

Who would have expected Mr Larry to serve as an Elite Four member as well?

Well, I knew Larry would switch things up a little bit, and we could make a reasonable guess what he would use in this fight!

Unfortunately for us, Larry's new favorite type is Flying! Though I appreciate him using a Tropius on his team!

Cloudberry is always a safe and reliable lead for us! Aurora Veil should be able to protect us from the incoming Flying-type assault!

Tropius doesn't grow very well in snow, and it put up the sun instead!

Tropius had Chlorophyll and got much faster under the sun! Luckily Air Slash didn't do that much because of Aurora Veil!

Cloudberry whipped up a Blizzard even under the intense sunlight and knocked out Tropius in one hit!

Altaria was up next! There had got to be something fishy about it because it does not have a great matchup against Cloudberry.

I knew it! Altaria breathed fire on Cloudberry! He only hung on because of Aurora Veil!

The fire Cloudberry endured turned into power with Avalanche!

Staraptor certainly wasn't a Pokemon I'd like to see.

Staraptor is fast AND strong. Its Brave Bird would've been a disaster if it weren't for Lime taking the hit for the team!

Anyways, Staraptor was gone with 100 000-volt thrown at its face.

Larry (2)

Let's have a dance battle with Oricorio!

Power Gem really isn't that strong on Guava due to his lower Special Attack, but we take what we get.

You can't cut through my Guava!

The sunlight was gone. At this point it didn't really matter, since we were not sending Redcurrant out.

We sent Oricorio back with another Power Gem!

Larry's final Pokemon was Flamigo!

Flamigo attached some balloons on its back!

Larry with some strong words here! He knew my weakness well!

A Tera-boosted Brave Bird is unpleasant, to say the least!

We couldn't afford losing Lime here! No one else could take Flying-type moves!

Anyways, Flamigo went down with a Thunderbolt.

We were declared the winner! We wouldn't have been able to make it through without Lime's hard work!

La Primera likes me? I need to make it to the end and battle her!

Mr Hassel is up next! The final Elite Four member is also the strongest one, so this will be a tough fight! Let's wait for Mr Hassel to come in after hearing Mr Larry calling him!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Hassel (1)

We waited for what felt like an eternity and Mr. Hassel never came out. So we had Rika do the shouting instead.

I'm delighted to see you too!

Time to adjust our strategies! Dragon Rush is not accurate, but it is a really strong attack for Dragonfruit!

This was the lineup we picked for fighting Mr. Hassel!

We were a little sprout just several weeks ago, but we have now grown and blossomed!

Mr. Hassel is a Dragon-type user! Dragons can be rough for our Grass-type Pokemon to fight!

Mr. Hassel started off strong with a Noivern! Honestly this was a bad matchup for Guava!

Noivern was so fast it outsped Guava and cut his health to half with Super Fang!

We put Toxic Spikes on their side! Hopefully this would be helpful in wearing them down!

No! Guava! We lost a member without even dealing any damage!

Time to send out our dragon slayer!

Cloudberry was not ready for the fight! He was too nervous to fight the big dragons!

Cloudberry went down! This turned from bad to worse for us!

We had to send out Lime to take Noivern's Air Slash! But Noivern went for Super Fang instead!

Unfortunately, Noivern is not weak to Electric, but this was our best move to use already.

Lime managed to take a Dragon Pulse after that!

Noivern was finally defeated! That was a rough start for us!

Oh great, Guava went down for absolutely nothing!

Hawthorn's Double-Edge is always so good at doing neutral damage, but it wasn't quite enough this time!

Well, Hawthorn isn't really good at taking hits.

Quince is usually the slow and defensive one, but Dragalage managed to be even slower than Quince and got cleaned up easily!

Hassel (2)

Mr. Hassel had a Flapple too! Let's have a mirror fight!

Well, that didn't last very long ...

Lime barely had any health left, but we needed it to give us its strength!

No one knows Flapple's weaknesses better than I do! A burn should be able to slow it down significantly!

Lime was knocked out Seed Bomb! Mr. Hassel used our own power against us!

There was no backing out! Quince was our last hope in this!

We turned the field into grass! Time for us to take advantage of this!

It might be too late for us now, but I forgot to put Dazzling Gleam on Quince! Hyper Voice was our best move!

Well, Flapple's burn would not hurt that much when Grassy Terrain heals it every turn.

Quince! This is not the time to flinch!

Quince has good defenses, but he was getting severely worn down!

We finally took out Flapple! Who would not have thought a Grass-type Pokemon gave us so much trouble!

Mr. Hassel still had 2 Pokemon left, and he sent out Haxorus!

Haxorus' Dragon Claw hurt quite a lot, but Quince fortunately still had its Defense boosted.

By the power of VOICE!

Quince was this close to being a dead fruit.

Quince was screaming for his life!

Haxorus gone. Quince grew a level. Got a little health back from Grassy Terrain. Would this be enough for victory?

We are not giving up! I'll be a Champion!

Hassel (3)

Mr. Hassel's ace is also his Terastallize Pokemon!

Baxcalibur was not something I'd like to fight! But Quince might make mircales!

Luck was by our side! Quince avoided the dreadful Icicle Crash that would have taken him out for sure!

We went all out with our Hyper Voice!

Baxcalibur, was not amused at Quince's performance.

We were defeated.
We could not be the very best.
We failed.

 

[TerrickTerran]

Baxcalibur was definitely going to be rough for an all grass team.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Baxcalibur was definitely going to be rough for an all grass team.

Dragon-types in general are rough because we have no resists to Dragon. At least for right now.

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Hassel (4)

Getting defeated was not going to stop me! We must get better and conquer the League!

Our first mistake was forgetting to put some more Fairy-type coverage! Quince did well taking hits last time, so I had high hopes for him this time!

Round two!

Our team looked more or less the same, just switching out Dragonfruit for Coconut. And we went back to using Cloudberry as our lead this time.

Time for us to pop some fertilizers and grow our fruits!

We are not losing again!

We will show you how astoundingly fast we grow!

We challenged Mr. Hassel once again!

Dragons don't fight well in snow, so we set the weather to snow!

Noivern started the fight with Super Fang! It wasn't really good news, but at least we couldn't flinch from this!

With Aurora Veil on our side, this fight should hopefully get better!

Noivern sliced through Cloudberry as if it infiltrated our Aurora Veil!

Time for Guava to take revenge on Noivern!

Guava has grown stronger and faster! He managed to deal heavy damage on Noivern moving first!

Noivern's Super Fang were very effective in cutting our defenses, but at least it couldn't do any more than half our HP.

Although we still had to sacrifice Cloudberry, this was a much better start than last time!

Mr. Hassel sent Dragalge out next!

After fighting it last time, I've identified Dragalge's biggest weakness to be its flimsy Defense!

Dragalge took the hit and lashed out with Sludge Bomb!

Good job Guava! Barely hanging on with 3 HP!

I spoke too soon... Guava couldn't take the residual poison damage!

Well, we cleaned the toxic algae up with Double-Edge! Hawthorn was so blazingly fast you can't even see him!

Hassel (5)

Next up was the Pokemon we love and hate at the same time!

Coconut shined the most Dazzling Glema we've ever seen!

That gleam was so dazzling Flapple couldn't aim well with Dragon Rush!

We sent Flapple back to the garden! Honestly, I don't mind growing more apples in our garden if you don't want it!

Three opponents down and we still had four remaining! Aurora Veil wearing off was not great since there were still two heavy hitters left, but we should have some advantages here!

The next Pokemon was Haxorus, definitely a powerful Pokemon!

Haxorus tried to slash us with its Dragon Claw, but it fell right into our Rocky Helmet!

I think your Haxorus is tired from using that, maybe it should take a rest!

Haxorus continued to sleep well even if Coconut shined dazzling lights on it!

A sleeping dragon is the least intimidating dragon you'll ever see! Just one more Pokemon to go!

Hassel (6)

Mr. Hassel's final Pokemon, probably also his strongest, was Baxcalibur! Quince did pretty well last time, so we had him fight again!

As expected, Baxcalibur Terastallzied into a Dragon-type!

Without the boost from Grassy Seed, Quince couldn't take an Icicle Crash at all!

Since Quince couldn't activate Grassy Seed in time and we were not going to use Grass-type moves against Baxcalibur, Grassy Terrain actually would not help us that much!

We needed someone with high power to do super-effective damage!

Unfortunately, Baxcalibur had enough bulk to take a Play Rough!

Uh-oh. You don't really need to do anything to overwhelm me!

Whatever Baxcalibur just used, I hope to never see it again.

We weren't doing that great, with our team down to 2 Pokemon only!

Coconut shined another batch of dazzling gleam while Baxcalibur was still catching breath from using Glaive Rush! He was close but it wasn't quite enough!

One thing Coconut has in common with dragons, is that he also despises the cold!

We were down to our final Pokemon, but I was not worried at all! I knew Lime had it!

Lime was able to knock Baxcalibur out from its low health!

Victory is ours this time around!

We have slayed the mighty dragon!

All the Elite Four members well excited for us! ... I assumed Mr. Larry was anyways.

I didn't expect Mr. Hassel to be so emotional! Especially after stomping us the first time!

What should I do? Should I join Mr. Hassel crying as well?

We have officially passed the Elite Test!

We have also officially made Mr. Hassel sob for an hour straight.

Yup, we were well aware this was not the end! We still had Ms. Geeta waiting for us!

Um ... I prefer to breathe something other than fire. Maybe "Even a baby dragon can sow seeds"?

I'll seize a great victory! Champion Rank, here we come!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

La Primera (1)

Time to fight La Primera! We brought Redcurrant back and put Hawthorn back in the PC. Ms. Geeta would probably use a large variety of Pokemon, so we needed Pokemon with type coverage.

The final test of the Champion Assessment!

We can officially become a Champion Trainer if we beat La Primera in a battle!

Yes, La Primera, please do not hold back!

I'm going to become the next Champion trainer! I have faith in my Pokemon!

The fight against the Top Champion, a fight for our rank!

Guava is our safest lead in the team, even in bad situations he can just U-turn out.

But this time Guava proved to be a great lead for having a wonderful type advantage against Espathra!

That was a great start for us, and we were getting approved by La Primera!

La Primera has a Gogoat too! That made me so happy!

La Primera's Gogoat had a similar tactic like our Kiwano! Bulk Up setup!

We used the time to set up our team as well! Aurora Veil should allow us to take several more hits!

La Primera's Gogoat should become gym bros with Kiwano!

Using a Grass-type team ourselves, we know the weaknesses of each Grass-type Pokemon clearly. And Cloudberry even landed a critical hit!

Even a bulked up Gogoat could not withstand the harsh blizzard!

La Primera's next Pokemon was a Kingambit! I was glad to see it getting sent out early, since it could gain more strength if there were more fallen Pokemon on their team!

Steel-type would've been a great problem for Grass-type Pokemon, if it weren't for Redcurrant's fiery breath!

The problem was that we needed to take a Stone Edge in return!

Not a problem!

We overthrew your supreme overlord!

La Primera (2)

Not sure why she sent out an Ice-type Pokemon next, but La Primera's fourth Pokemon was Avalugg!

We melted the iceberg! Avalugg stood no chance against Flamethrower!

Veluza's next! Yet another Psychic-type Pokemon for Guava to handle!

Veluza's Water/Psychic typing meant it was weak to pretty much anything Guava does.

Ms. Geeta had just one Pokemon left, but we knew it would be her ace! We couldn't let our guard down!

La Primera's ace Pokemon was Glimmora, who was then Terastallized into a Rock-type! Hopefully, Coconut could manage this!

Glimmora might be floating in air, but it is still weak to Earth Power!

Glimmora tried to pollute Coconut with Sludge Wave!

That was a critical hit! Luckily Coconut had enough bulk to take even that!

Coconut stroked with another Earth Power!

Coconut was so strong he shattered Glimmora's crystal!

VICTORY!

We proved our power in this battle! I am now officially recognized as one of the best trainers in Paldea!

I now have the title Champion Leif!

Mr. Hassel started sobbing again!

I've found my treasure, to be the best Grass-type trainer. But there's always more to find!

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

A Good Rival

Ms. Geeta told me someone was waiting for us!

Of course that was Nemona, my rival!

Without Nemona, I probably would not be so motivated to become a Champion!

I can truly be Nemona's rival now that we are both Champion-ranked!

I'd love to have a rival battle with Nemona, but I was quite fatigued from the Champion Assessment!

I hope Nemona understand that I want to fight, but just not at this moment!

I'm glad Nemona found her treasure, but I'm also trying to help others find their treasures...

We promised to fight Nemona when we are free! She will be waiting for us in Mesagoza!

Let's see if we can beat Nemona in her full might! But first, we need to become even stronger!

I need to get stronger

We must make our way to the top of the world!

We are training for even stronger and faster hits!

Hawthorn's Headbutt was so strong it broke the stake!

We must conquer our fear of flying Pokemon!

A peaceful and calm mind is the way to success.

Quince's willpower was so strong he broke the stake without touching it!

From cities to the rural mountains, we grow grass wherever we go.

Plants grow faster under strong sunlight!

Redcurrant burned the stake! Oops!

We must not be afraid of falling if we wish to climb high.

We must ride the wind like a dandelion!

Raspberry blew a strong wind and bent the stake!

We must stand firm like a tree on a cliff.

Even in dry areas, we must thrive and fluorish.

Cloudberry's Blizzard froze the stake!

We must absorb Fire-power and improve our endurance to heat!

We need to be flexible and adopt to different tough situations.

Lime's electric power broke the stake!

We must not take a break, not even at night.

We must stay positive, no matter the situation!

Medlar's sheer existence shattered the stake!

Death is not going to scare us.

We must unleash our Pokemon's full potentail!

Guava pulled out the eighth purple stake!

Oh no! I hope I didn't release any terrifying beasts!

Wasn't this sealed before?

Is something ... inside the shrine?

We had no idea what was in the shrine, but we must not be afraid! We are a Champion-ranked trainer now!

Cursed Tablets

It was ... a snail covered in leaves! That piqued my interest!

We challenged Wo-Chien, attempting to catch it!

Wo-Chien does not look like an easy target! A great way to increase our odds of catching it is to paralyze it first!

I think our snail friend is trying to destroy us ... We must have accidentally summoned an evil or something.

Wo-Chien's ability lowered Hawthorn's Attack so Double-Edge didn't really do that much damage!

That being said, Foul Play still preyed on Hawthorn's high offensive and low defensive abilities.

We tried our best to do only little damage to Wo-Chien!

We could feel the hatred from Wo-Chien just using Ruination on our Pokemon.

We have successfully cut Wo-Chien's health into critical range, and the paralysis was also kicking in. We should start throwing Poke Balls at it!

Wo-Chien was a stubborn snail who wouldn't be easy to catch!

Well, Wo-Chien got some health back from Giga Drain. Fortunately that wasn't too much HP it got.

Our second attempt failed as well!

Dusk Ball is a perfect match for a dark and ruinous Pokemon like Wo-Chien.

That was an unexpected dark story, but we take any Grass-type Pokemon we see!

We welcome our new member, Elderberry, after what feels like an eternity not being able to catch anything!

For being a grudging spirit trapped in a snail, Elderberry already learned several disastrous moves!

After finding a treasure of our own, let's bring treasures to our friends as well! We'll start off by meeting Arven!

Spoiler

 

[DetectiveTogekiss]

Story Only

Well, I took my time coming to this place. But I guess I was still faster than you.

Time for us to hear about Arven's childhood!

Well, I noticed this before, but Arven really doesn't have a great relation with Professor Sada.

Now I'm even more glad we managed to save Mabosstiff's life.

Well, we were here to do something for the Professor in the lab.

The lab was surprisingly dusty, and Professor Sada was still nowhere to be seen.

Professor Sada is in the Great Crater of Paldea, somewhere we are not allowed to go!

Unique Pokemon? I hope there are some Grass-type Pokemon!

We need to bring something called the Scarlet Book to Area Zero!

I guess she is saying there are indeed Grass-type Pokemon there!

Vicious Pokemon should not be a problem for me now that I am a Champion-ranked trainer!

Well, I think I might be able to convince Nemona joining us, if there are strong Pokemon in Area Zero.

Seeing how badly Mabosstiff was injured, I'm starting to think maybe Pokemon in Area Zero are really that strong.

Well, I can't let the Professor waiting like that!

Well, I'm more confident in conquering Area Zero if Arven's going with me!

I'm always ready for Pokemon battles! Though I am concerned about your dog, sir!

Not sure if Arven truly understands what Mabosstiff says, or if Nemona's battling spirits are rubbing off on him.

Well, if you insist. I can't turn Mabosstiff down, if it wants to battle that badly. I'll just make sure I don't hurt it that much!

The master chef versus a team of fruits!

Arven (1)

We were challenged by Arven to test our abilities!

We decided to try out Elderberry in this fight! Its Tablets of Ruin cut Greedent's Attack!

Elderberry's Ruination was useful damaging beefy Pokemon like Greedent!

Elderberry could tank hits thanks to Tablets of Ruin, but it unfortunately got paralyzed by Body Slam!

Greedent was so slow even a paralyzed Elderberry outsped it.

Elderberry's offensive power was not great, and it failed to knock out Greedent!

Greedent was having all sorts of luck! Paralysis chance and critical hits were all working for it!

It didn't have much HP left, but Greedent's life force was drained by our ruinous snail!

I'm glad Arven likes Grass-type Pokemon too, but Scovillain being a Fire-type Pokemon was definitely horrifying.

I trust that Guava is able to save us in all sorts of tough situations!

As a Scovillain user myself, I should have known clearly its firepower! Guava was defeated even though Fire Blast was weakened by the rain!

Redcurrant is one of the few Pokemon on our team that is not afraid of Fire!

Do you know that some plants suck out juices from other plants for nutrients?

Arven's next Pokemon was Garganacl, which was just prey for Coconut's Earth Power!

Ooh, Stealth Rock around our field was bad news as that would make switching difficult for us.

Anyways, we broke through Gargancal's rock-hard defense with Earth Power!

Arven (2)

Arven and I have so many similarities! We had 2 pairs of matching Pokemon!

Coconut used Power Whip, which is a strong move that works well against Toedscruel's frail physical Defense!

Same thing, but from the other side.

Except we had a Rocky Helmet that punished Toedscruel for using contact moves!

I was worried about Power Whip's inaccuracy, but Dazzling Gleam was not enough to clean things up!

Coconut was chopped into half by Arven's Toedscruel!

The two Toedscruel were basically in sync for the whole fight.

We sent out Lime next, as it was able to fight most Pokemon without problem! Then Arven sent Cloyster out!

Luckily Lime was faster than Cloyster! Cloyster's icy power might be too much for us to handle!

To no one's surprise, Arven's final Pokemon was Mabosstiff!

Arven Terastallized Mabosstiff into Dark-type!

We gave Mabosstiff a weak jolt of electricity to test whether it has fully recovered!

Ay! Lime is not an Herba Mystica, don't try to eat it!

Leaf Storm was a great move to finish things up, as we would not need to worry about its drawback!

I hope Mabosstiff was still feeling ok after that!

Anyways, we won this friendly match against Arven!

Arven was not too happy about the results, and I agreed that we need more teammates to go with us!

I mean, I have some Champion Rank-level skills! Not sure about crazy tech though ...

Oh yeah, I bet Nemona is willing to join, if I agree to battle her once more!

Don't worry Arven, I got your back! I'll try my best to find someone good at technology!
