Challenge Pokemon Violet Monotype Run (Psychic)

2024080722210100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I went on a hike and reached Montenevera, a town built on Glaseado Mountain.

2024080722432700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This place gives me the chill and I don't think it's because of the cold weather.

2024080722433300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Covert Cloak? Haha, I'm sure someone dropped this, and this is not a haunted item. Right?

2024080722435300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't like the creepy atmosphere in this town. I think I'll need some food to calm myself down.

2024080722441300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722442100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maybe cold food isn't a great idea right now, but this Hail Set Four-Piece Sushi is one of the best I've ever had.

2024080722451200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722452600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There aren't too many restaurants around town, but an Avocado Sandwich from Every Wich Way cannot hurt.

2024080722463300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of sandwiches, the Deli Cioso here has some great sandwich ingredients. Great for meat lovers like me!

2024080722470500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There is no place for great food here. It's like my worst nightmare coming true.

2024080722471700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

All there's left in town is the Gym, and I think that might as well be the warmest place in this town.

2024080722485000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And of course, I was stopped by Nemona the moment I walked in. That's like my second worst nightmare coming true.

2024080722485800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722490200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona was explaining why she couldn't battle me last time, and I was trying my best to tell her I don't mind at all.

2024080722490500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

How about no? I really enjoying not having to battle you last time, and I would love to enjoy that again.

2024080722491000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What do you mean ONLY four? That's like the same number of desserts I allow myself to eat each day.

2024080722491900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona's gonna battle me after I beat the Gym. Suddenly, I don't feel like beating the Gym.

2024080722493400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722494400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I can use some warming up, too. I hope this means I just need to make some appetizers and that's it.

2024080722501700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, the warmup is just more Pokemon battles? And what's this about Double Battles?

2024080722502000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I've never tried Double Battles before, and something tells me I won't like them as much as double burgers.

2024080722503400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, there aren't anything else here for me to do, so I must as well help out.

2024080722505300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

These people don't bring hotdogs to a concert? I don't know how to feel about them.

2024080722511500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I hope that Double Battles are just a Single Battle next to another Single Battle.

2024080722512800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's see how Ferrazzuoli and Farfalle work as a pair!

2024080722514100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722514300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle sliced through Greavard with his Night Slash. Poor doggo. I'd love to hug you but now is not the time.

2024080722515200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722515400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli slammed Shuppet with a Psyshield Bash, but that wasn't quite enough for a KO.

2024080722515600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least Ferrazzuoli got beefier after using that move. I don't know how it works, 'cause the Pokedex doesn't include this move either.

2024080722515800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Role Play? Are you some sort of doppelganger? That's like my third worst nightmare.

2024080722520400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Shuppet is now sharp. I guess it turned into a true paper doll?

2024080722521100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm glad the audience is enjoying it.

2024080722521300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722521700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The audience's cheer gave Ferrazzuoli and Farfalle extra attacking power. I guess they really enjoy the attention.

2024080722522800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722522801-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Shuppet pulled a Sucker Punch on Ferrazzuoli when he was still thinking about the cheering. He didn't see that coming!

2024080722523200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Even if Shuppet copied Farfalle's Sharpness, Farfalle still has the sharpest Leaf Blade on the field.

2024080722531100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

So far, Double Battles don't feel very different from two single battles, but I'm sure it'll not stay this way.

2024080722533000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I thought these people come here for the music, but they are getting excited for Pokemon battles. Weird.

2024080722534400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There are strategies behind putting two Pokemon together as a team, but I'm too tired to think about that right now.

2024080722535800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I wasn't given time to change my team, so I'll still be leading with these two.

2024080722540800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722541100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time Haunter and Misdreavus are on the opposite side, and they are certainly much eerier than my opponents last time.

2024080722541400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722541500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It doesn't matter, 'cause Farfalle's Night Slash is always effective against these creepy pastas.

2024080722542500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722542700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And Ferrazzuoli knocked Haunter out with Psyshield Bash! He doesn't even need a Defense boost this time.

2024080722545500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli is glowing with psychic energy ever since his magical transformation. This time he wants to learn Zen Headbutt, and of course that's a good idea.

2024080722551900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The audience is getting louder and louder. Honestly, that makes me a little anxious.

2024080722552900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722553700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And my final opponent is the MC himself! What a plot twist.

2024080722555100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mc Sledge has a Drifblim and Sableye. I've battled enough Sableye to know that they are bad news.

2024080722561700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722562400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli was getting tired, so it's Cavatelli's turn.

2024080722562600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722562800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle's Night Slash is still strong enough to pop a balloon!

2024080722563000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But Farfalle accidentally hurt himself in the process! You always have to be careful around explosives!

2024080722564000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722564200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sableye scratched Farfalle with its Shadow Claw. It almost hurt as bad as getting sliced by Farfalle's sword!

2024080722564600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722564800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The audience really liked my move selection and gave my Pokemon attack boosts again.

2024080722570300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722570500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle went for Night Slash on Sableye. It wasn't a super effective hit, but he landed on Sableye's weak spot!

2024080722572500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722573500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Stelline evolved into a bigger Stelline! This time she got an even fancier dress!

2024080722574100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Gothitelle is capable of predicting the future, and somehow she's not looking at me happily.

2024080722580100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The three-part warm up is all done, and the audience is at maximum excitement.

2024080722580700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722581100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I passed the Gym Test and successfully excited the audience.

2024080722582100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080722582300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And it's now time for the main show. Who's the star performing here?

2024080722585000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme the famous rapper is here to perform, and she's actually the Gym Leader of the town, too!

2024080722593300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Stelline got stronger after her evolution, and I think she might be able to help us out in this upcoming Gym battle.

2024080822294800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme has started her performance! I wish I can just stay in the audience, but I'm actually here for her Gym Badge.

2024080822300500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822300900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The Gym Test didn't give me much trouble. Let's hope for the same in the actual Gym Battle!
 
2024080822300900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I cleared the Montenevera Gym Test after clearing all the food in town.

2024080822321900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I helped Ryme open her concert, and now's time for her main performance.

2024080822322800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A pro cashier challenged Ryme to a rap battle. He's gonna pay the price, and there's no room to haggle.

2024080822324300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme dissed him in front of everyone. Pro cashier needs to do something not to be outdone.

2024080822324900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme is a professional rapper with millions of albums sold. Some of them are even certified gold.

2024080822325800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Beating cashier boy is a cakewalk. Time to post their rap battle on JoltikTok.

2024080822330800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on, Ryme seems to be having a bad time. I might need to do something to cheer up Ryme.

2024080822331500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm no good at rapping, so let's drop the rhyming! I know what you're here for: some Pokemon battling!

2024080822340900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822342100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Just like the battles I had in the opening, the Gym battle with Ryme is also in the form of Double Battle.

2024080822342500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time Ferrazzuoli and Cavatelli will be the ones in lead, and it seems like they'll be fighting Mimikyu and Banette.

2024080822344900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh I almost forgot. There are many people watching us right now, and that makes me quite nervous.

2024080822345600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822345700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Banette looks like a regular Poke Doll, which is why Cavatelli got caught off guard when it suddenly starts moving!

2024080822350000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822350300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mimikyu set up a Light Screen on the opposing side, as if the stage isn't bright enough already!

2024080822350500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822350700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli heats up the stage with some Heat Wave, which seems to hit both targets.

2024080822351000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But Mimikyu's head absorbed the damage, and it broke! As if it isn't spooky enough!

2024080822351500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822351600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli bashed Mimikyu with his psychic shield, but he didn't do much damage.

2024080822351800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The more important part is that Ferrazzuoli gained some Defense from using that move. I hope this'll come in handy.

2024080822352300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822352800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh snap! The audience liked what Ryme was doing and gave her Pokemon accuracy boost! I guess I'll have to please the crowd while also having to focus on battling.

2024080822355000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822355100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Banette went for Sucker Punch again, and this time Ferrazzuoli is the one getting slapped. Rude.

2024080822355400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822355500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With a creepy smile drawn on the face, it shouldn't be too surprising to see that Mimikyu is a merciless slasher.

2024080822355700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822355900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

These creepy dolls are giving me chills, and Cavatelli's Heat Wave is all I need.

2024080822360200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822360300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli learned Zen Headbutt last time, and this is a great opportunity to try the move out! It was enough to send Banette back to the underworld!

2024080822361400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme sent in Houndstone next. That's one of those dead dogs I saw!

2024080822361700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think I'm doing fine so far, since I've already defeated one of Ryme's Pokemon. And the audience is liking it.

2024080822362300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822363000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The crowd cheering us up gave Ferrazzuoli and Cavatelli boosts in their attacking stats!

2024080822364000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mimikyu went for Slash on Ferrazzuoli again. Is it trying to make some creamy pasta?

2024080822364400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822364600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Houndstone used Phantom Force by vanishing into the darkness! Where did it go?

2024080822364900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822365100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli's Heat Wave is powerful, but it can't chase Houdstone down when it's nowhere to be seen!

2024080822365300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least that was enough to burn Mimikyu and its broken rag. Another Pokemon down!

2024080822370200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Houndstone is still gone, and there's nothing Ferrazzuoli can do about it.

2024080822370800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme sent in Toxtricity next. I've seen that Pokemon before. People are always listening to its music on Spindafy.

2024080822371100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme is down to her final two Pokemon while I still have my full team. Let's see if I can finish them quickly!

2024080822371700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time, the audience gave my Pokemon Speed boosts! But I'm not really a fast eater, am I?

2024080822373500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The final songs of a concert are always the climax, and Ryme's pumping up the volume for the whole town.

2024080822374500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The gravestones hidden in the snowfield are actually Houndstone, and they wake up just to listen to Ryme's music!

2024080822374800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And the DJ of the stage is a little Greavard! Perfect for a romantic dinner, if you ask me.

2024080822375500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822380900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme Terastallized her Toxtricity to a Ghost-type! I guess punk rock is officially dead now.

2024080822381400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822381600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli used Heat Wave again, and of course, he can't quite aim for Houndstone while it's still missing.

2024080822382000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822382100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli wanted to slam Houndstone, but he couldn't either! This dog is not coming, is it?

2024080822382600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822383000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme hitting a high note with her move, and her Toxtricity is unleashing a powerful Hex!

2024080822383500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822383900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli might be a brave soldier in battle, but he is not a professional ghostbuster. He tried his best, but his time is up.

2024080822384400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822384500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Houndstone is finally coming back from the shadow realm, and its Phantom Force did nothing to Ferrazzuoli.

2024080822385500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle, I trust you! Don't let me down!

2024080822385800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The audience really liked seeing Terastallization in action, and they're cheering even louder for Ryme.

2024080822390400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822390700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Their cheering gave Houndstone stat boosts in ... everything? What on earth!

2024080822391900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And Toxtricity, too? How am I supposed to fight two jacked up Pokemon at the same time?

2024080822393700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822393800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Toxtricity released its powered-up Discharge and hit everyone on the stage, including its ally.

2024080822394100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli has been doing so well this battle, but now's time for him to take a rest.

2024080822394500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And Houndstone is going back to the dark space again! Is it playing hide-and-seek?

2024080822395100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822395300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle can't use Night Slash on Houndstone, since it's gone again! This is so annoying!

2024080822395500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least the opposing Light Screen has faded, and that should help my Pokemon pump up their damage.

2024080822402800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I've chosen Ravioli to be the next one! I know she isn't afraid of stinky ghosts!

2024080822403300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822404000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm not doing so hot, and the audience continues to cheer for Ryme. This time, her Pokemon get accuracy boosts.

2024080822405200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822405800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Toxtricity's Hex is bringing so much bad luck on our side, and this time it removed Farfalle in one hit!

2024080822410500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822410700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Houndstone is coming back to reality, and the reality is always harsh as it did no damage to Ravioli.

2024080822411100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Houndstone got crunchy bones, and that is the perfect thing for Ravioli to crunch on.

2024080822413000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't have that many Pokemon left, and my next hope is Stelline.

2024080822413300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Landing that Crunch on Houndstone hyped up the audience. They should watch my mukbangs instead then.

2024080822414000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822414600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli and Stelline received boosts in their offenses. We need to go all-out now before it's too late!

2024080822415900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822420400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Toxtricity's Hex was enough to knock Stelline out in one hit. Do you think she saw this in her future reading?

2024080822421500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And of course, Houndstone is bouncing between phantom dimension and the real world.

2024080822421800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822421900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli aimed for Toxtricity with her Crunch this time, and that weakened the rockstar significantly!

2024080822423000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline and Ravioli are my final two Pokemon left. They have to make it or else I'll lose this battle!

2024080822423500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822424300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The audience is still a bigger fan of Ryme's rap. Her Pokemon get another set of Speed boosts!

2024080822425600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822430200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Toxtricity went for Hex on Farfalline, and she's hanging on with the tiniest amount of health!

2024080822430500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That didn't matter, since Houndstone's Phantom Force was enough to knock her out. I'm down to Ravioli only!

2024080822431500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822432100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli crunched Toxtricity to death and shattered its ghost balloon! Ryme's down to her final Pokemon!

2024080822432900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It's a final showdown between Ravioli and Houndstone. This feels like a single battle all of a sudden.

2024080822434400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822434700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch! Houndstone crunched on Ravioli and that did so much damage! Come on, Ravioli!

2024080822435100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli lashed back with a Crunch as well, and Houndstone was barely hanging on!

2024080822435800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080822440200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But Houndstone got the upper hand with its higher speed! Ravioli lost in this crunching battle!

2024080822440600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With Ravioli gone as well, all of my Pokemon fainted. That's an L for me.

2024080822441200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme's Pokemon so strong my Pokemon all dead. Maybe I should've chosen a rap battle instead!
 
2024080822440600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time I challenged Ryme to a Gym battle and lost! I've not felt the taste of defeat in so long!

2024080823081300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Naturally, the first thing I did afterwards is to challenge Ryme again. I might be getting addicted to Pokemon battling.

2024080823094300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time I can't get distracted by Ryme's music. I must hog the spotlight and steal her show!

2024080823100100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I switched back to leading with Ferrazzuoli and Farfalle. I'm sure the creepy dolls won't like how intimidating Ferrazzuoli is.

2024080823104200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823104400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Banette sneaked its way through and struck Farfalle. Farfalle is a fair fighter and doesn't like sneaky plays!

2024080823104700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823105000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

For a dark Pokemon whose body only stays in darkness, Mimikyu sure likes using Light Screen.

2024080823105200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823105400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It's nighttime, and Farfalle is here to slash on random ghosts he finds! Banette gone!

2024080823110300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli missed Mimikyu with his move. Perhaps the stage lighting is getting too bright.

2024080823110900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Uh-oh. The nightmare is back. Houndstone is on the field, and I still have bad memories with it.

2024080823111200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2024080823111800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The audience liked what I was doing, and my Pokemon received attack boosts from their cheer!

2024080823113800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Creepy slasher is back! Mimikyu slashed Ferrazzuoli, and I hope his horns are still intact.

2024080823114100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823114200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle used Night Slash and knocked Houndstone out. Easy and clean. Nothing to worry about now!

2024080823115200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823115500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli's Psyshield Bash seemed to do no damage to Mimikyu, but his Defense did boost.

2024080823115800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I've seen this happen a few times now, but Mimikyu breaking its neck is still so creepy to me. Just no.

2024080823120500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme sent out her Toxtricity. She has no other Pokemon left, since that's her ace!

2024080823121500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823121900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think I'm doing fine, and the audience agreed. Ferrazzuoli and Farfalle received another set of stat boosts.

2024080823125200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823130500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Just like last time, Ryme pumped the eeriness by Terastallizing her Toxtricity into a Ghost-type. Isn't that just murdering your Pokemon?

2024080823130900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823131100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mimikyu went for Shadow Sneak on Farfalle. He's barely hanging on, and that worries me.

2024080823131400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823131500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's not let that get in my mind! Time for Farfalle to slice through Toxtricity with Night Slash!

2024080823132000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sorry, but your show is over. Maybe the audience will want an ecnore but not right now.

2024080823132900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, there's a Light Screen on the opposing side, and I think we need one this side, too.

2024080823133600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823134200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme has too many fans in the crowd! They are cheering for her to get an accuracy boost.

2024080823135400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823135600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mimikyu went for Shadow Sneak on Farfalle again, and this time, it was enough to send Farfalle to the shadow realm.

2024080823140400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823140500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli slammed Mimikyu with Zen Headbutt. Except Mimikyu got two heads there, and they are probably Zen as well.

2024080823142600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think I have this in the bag, but I don't want to risk anything. Let's send Lotty out to clean things up.

2024080823143300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823143900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The audience is still cheering for Ryme! It's making me anxious, and it's awful.

2024080823150500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mimikyu is still slashing Ferrazzuoli, and I don't even want to find out what it uses to slash.

2024080823150800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823151000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

No reason to play fair against a creepy ghost doll like that. Lotty knocked Mimikyu out with a Foul Play!

2024080823151900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823152400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I did it! Fighting Ghost-type Pokemon is rough, but I manage to tough it out!

2024080823153400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823154000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme's so cool she let me watch her concert for free after handing me her Gym Badge! Maybe next time she'll gift me an album?

2024080823154500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think Maltagliati will finally listen to me. I've not even tried to use him in battles, and that is making me excited.

2024080823154900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823155200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ryme even gave me a TM for Shadow Ball. I don't like Ghost-type Pokemon, but Ghost-type moves are fine.

2024080823160800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823161400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Geeta was not who I expected to run into after having that Gym battle. She was probably when I got defeated by Ryme last time, too!

2024080823161900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Geeta was talking about something of the Pokemon League, but our conversation was cut short.

2024080823162400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

'Cause Nemona has been waiting for me this whole time! Am I getting cornered?

2024080823163200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona was really surprised to see Ms. Geeta here. Is she someone that important?

2024080823163700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823163900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona told me Ms. Geeta is the Top Champion! That must mean she's super strong, even stronger than Nemona.

2024080823164800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823165400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't like how Ms. Geeta is making me seem like a good Pokemon trainer. That's just gonna make Nemona want to battle me more.

2024080823170100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823170600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess I did promise Nemona I'll battle her after I'm done with the Gym, but I didn't expect spectators!

2024080823171100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Is it too late now to change my decision? Can we clear the audience first?

2024080823172100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, if Ms. Geeta and Nemona share one similarity, it's that neither of them listens to my opinions. Great.
 
2024080823154000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time I enjoyed a free Ryme concert after finally beating her in a Gym Battle.

2024080823175200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I agreed to fight Nemona after I finished clearing the Montenevera Gym, so here I am.

2024080823175400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona reminded me how to achieve the Champion rank, and I realized I'm getting closer and closer.

2024080823180100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823180400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

All I need to do is to go to the Pokemon League after collecting eight Gym Badges. I already have five of those.

2024080823180700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Of course, there's still more after that, so maybe I'm not actually that close to being a Champion. Nemona's just thinking too much.

2024080823181900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And honestly, I still don't like having battles back-to-back. They are so tiring, and I don't have time to eat my snacks.

2024080823182800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know, maybe I should invite Nemona to a fruit buffet next time. I think she'll enjoy that.

2024080823184100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I am having a Pokemon battle with Nemona ... for the I-don't-know-how-many times!

2024080823185700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It started with a showdown between Ferrazzuoli and Lycanroc! Didn't she have a little puppy?

2024080823190900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lycanroc bit Ferrazzuoli and I don't like that. Getting bitten by an adorable pup and by an aggressive wolf are pretty different.

2024080823191200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823191400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli slammed Lycanroc with a Psyshield Bash, but he didn't do that much damage.

2024080823191500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

His actual goal was to gain a Defense boost from his Psyshield! Aren't Psychic-type moves just amazing?

2024080823192100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't like how Lycanroc is treating Ferrazzuoli as some kinds of food. Stop biting him!

2024080823192400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823192600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli went for Zen Headbutt, and Lycanroc barely survived that. Maybe headbutting a wolf wasn't a great idea.

2024080823193200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A playful bite is okay, but three is a little too much.

2024080823193600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Another Zen Headbutt and Lycanroc lost its head ... ? Okay, maybe that one was a little too dark.

2024080823195700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Goomy is a cute little gooey-slug-dragon-thingy. A little too squishy though, since it got crushed in one hit.

2024080823201400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823201500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona sent out Pawmo next, which hit Ferrazzuoli with a Spark. The only spark I allow here is sparkling water.

2024080823201800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823202000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli took revenge with a Psyshield Bash, but actually I've never actually seen him create a shield from that.

2024080823202500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona was really happy about my move choice. Shouldn't she feel sad, since she is losing Pokemon?

2024080823205100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona sent out her last Pokemon, which is her freshly evolved grass cat, Meowscarada!

2024080823211900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A good way to decorate your dishes is to add a flower next to the food. That always make me hungry.

2024080823213100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823213400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meowscarada performed a Flower Trick on Ferrazzuoli and landed a critical hit! I don't like how sly it is!

2024080823215500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, if there's one thing I know about grass cats, it's that they don't like getting burned by fire. I mean, me neither, but still.

2024080823220400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823220700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meowscarada used Flower Trick again, but Cavatelli didn't care! His auspicious armor gave him all the protection he needs!

2024080823221200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823221400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This place is still freezing cold even with all the ghost dogs gone, let's take a Heat Wave to warm things up.

2024080823221800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Meowscarada's glass flower was shattered! No more dirty tricks allowed here!

2024080823222700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I defeated Nemona again! Honestly, I still can't believe it, but I've been doing great.

2024080823223300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hmm. I doubt people will pay attention to me, though. It's not like I post updates on my Treasure Hunt on online forums.

2024080823224900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Geeta seems to be impressed my performance, too. Now that I know she's an important person, that kinda makes me nervous.

2024080823225400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823230100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona seems even more certain I'll be a Champion-ranked trainer one day. Maybe she's right?

2024080823230400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I mean, I'm touring around to find delicious food, and I might as well visit the Gyms I find.

2024080823230700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2024080823230800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Geeta gifted me a TM for Tera Blast! That's what Cavatelli did to Nemona's Meowscarada.

2024080823231900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080823232100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona's gonna ... do more training. Even if I become a Champion-ranked trainer, I'm sure I won't be as battle-crazy as her.

2024080823233000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Geeta talked to me for a little after Nemona left. She also noticed Nemona getting more excited than usual. What does she really want from me?

2024080823235900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A lot has happened today, and I still can't take everything in.

2024080823254100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's take a lot at the new Shadow Ball TM, which is apparently compatible with everyone on my team!

2024080823264100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And Maltagliati can finally join our Treasure Hunt! Let's fish up some fishies for him!
 
2024080823230400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time I beat Nemona while Ms. Geeta was spectating. They insist I have potential to be a Champion, but I have my doubts.

2024080823491300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

After taking on a Gym, the next thing to do is to take on another Home Ec lesson.

2024080913383000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080913383600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is our first Home Ec lesson after the midterm exam. We should have plenty of time before the final exam.

2024080913384500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080913384700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This lesson is about Meal Powers! I know all of them; delicious meals give me the powers to everything I need!

2024080913384900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080913385400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Someone interested in culinary arts asked Mr. Saguaro about Meal Powers. I need to find out who this student is! I think we'll get along really well!

2024080913390400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mr. Saguaro acknowledged my performance on the midterm exam! It's like my dreams come true!

2024080913391600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Making food more often is a great idea, but we should always make food with others to share the joy!

2024080913392700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Using different ingredients will result in different Meal Powers! If I use salty meat, I'll get sleepier; if I use spicy peppers, I'll get diarrhea!

2024080913393100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080913393600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, I've never actually prepared sandwiches with others. Apparently, you get a larger base to make on! Awesome!

2024080913394400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Working with others to solve difficult issues? But that would require talking to other people.

2024080913394700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, that curious student was Arven all along? Duh, I knew he's into culinary arts.

2024080913395900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Home Ec lessons with Mr. Saguaro are always so enjoyable. They're the only times I come back to school.

2024080913402900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I wanted to know more about Meal Powers, so I went to the Staff Room to find Mr. Saguaro.

2024080913403700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was surprised to hear that Mr. Saguaro has something to ask me instead! Of course I'd like to help!

2024080913404500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080913404800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mr. Saguaro told me he's into sweet food. This time, he mentions he's searching for an incredibly sweet condiment!

2024080913405800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080913410400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'll be helping Mr. Saguaro with his sweet condiment hunt! Meanwhile, I'll have to go do something else and give him time to do research.

2024080913421000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Montenevera is only a small part of Glaseado Mountain. There're still so much to see in the mountain.

2024080915594800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This place is still so cold, though. And I'm sure it's only gonna get worse from here on out.

2024080916001500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's pop some Lemonade before setting out. Tartness is always a great way to start the day.

2024080916002800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Back to Glaseado Mountain, but I'm heading downhill this time!

2024080916005300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What's a Kirlia doing here in the snow? I didn't know it's a snowy Pokemon.

2024080916013000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! Is that Casunziei's snowy cousin? It looks pretty!

2024080916020900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It is indeed pretty difficult to spot a white Pokemon in the white snowy field.

2024080916031200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916031500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Glaceon froze Orecchiette like some meat in my fridge! That's why I don't like fighting Ice-type Pokemon!

2024080916032200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916032600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Orecchiette managed to eat his Aguav Berry even though he's frozen! That's the secret power of a foodie!

2024080916034400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916034800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It took a while, but Orecchiette eventually thawed out. I must be careful if I don't want to get mauled by some yeti monster.

2024080916042100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hello there, little guy. Do you want some snacks or do you wanna fight?

2024080916043000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm not sharing candies with you, and I don't wanna bother battling you.

2024080916053700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sir, eating some walnuts might help you, but having a Pokemon battle definitely won't.

2024080916055000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is actually my first battle using Maltagliati! And he's here to fight Santa Claus!

2024080916055900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You're giving me a Present? I hope it's a roasted turkey in the box.

2024080916060200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916060400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maltagliati is capable of cutting his foes with water! Could be helpful if I'm preparing seafood for the night.

2024080916070200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of food, I just found some horsehair crab for dinner! Ooh, I'm so excited!

2024080916080900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Huh? Did someone drop their sushi on the ground? What a waste!

2024080916082000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, it's actually a Pokemon? That's the biggest lie I've ever seen!

2024080916082700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916082900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Excuse me, but Maltagliati is very much already a Water-type. And it's not very polite to soak him like you wanna eat him next.

2024080916083300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Tatsugiri might not be a real sushi, but our chef is here to chop it with some Psycho Cut.

2024080916083700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916084600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Tatsugiri used Memento and fainted! Now that's a real waste of food!

2024080916090000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What an evil Pokemon using such an innocent disguise. You really cannot trust anyone.

2024080916092800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You can see Medali from here! I already miss going to Treasure Eatery for their secret item!

2024080916101400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916102100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Snom might be cute, but it's still an annoying bug. Please remove it with some air cutting.

2024080916103600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Quadrefiore upgraded her cutting power to a slashing power! Should be helpful in killing all these nasty insects I found.

2024080916112000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Air Slash is also a scary move that can make opponents flinch! What a great move that is!

2024080916113900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campanelle is already very metallic and defensive, so Iron Defense doesn't seem too necesssary.

2024080916121100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A mirror match between Farfalline and another Gardevoir! Who's the prettier one?

2024080916122800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, of course, Farfalline is the best Gardevoir of the world.

2024080916130400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Aktually I have five, so I'm the better one.

2024080916132300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti has been missing out on some battling actions. Your Pawmot seems like a great target to bring her back.

2024080916133100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916134700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pawmot tried to push Cappelletti off the cliff with Arm Thrust! Luckily, Cappelletti managed to grasp the ground with her braids!

2024080916135000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916135200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Take some Psybeam, you dingus. Cappelletti doesn't like it when other Pokemon mess with her hair.

2024080916140600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080916140900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That serves you right! Pawmot knocked itself out in confusion!

2024080920081300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I thought I picked up a rice ball, but it was actually just a snowball. To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement.

2024080920083000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch! Did I just get hit by a snowflake? We need a hailstorm warning here!

2024080920083600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080920083700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Who knew snowflakes are so pointy they can Night Slash my pig? Time to get my antifreeze out.

2024080920092200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Is that Gym really just sitting here in the middle of nowhere? I was expecting it to be in some big cities.

2024080920092500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess this place contains nothing other than a Pokemon Center and a Gym. It's like a sandwich with nothing but lettuce inside.

2024080920422400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I defeated quite a few trainers on my way! I deserve to get a reward -

2024080920422700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A BLIZZARD'S HERE! HIDE! RUN! HURRY!

2024080920441700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let me put on the Winter Uniform, if the weather is so unstable.

2024080920531300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess this is the battlefield they use for the Gym. Definitely not as impressive as a stage hidden in a restaurant.

2024080920532400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maybe I'll come back to the Gym at a later time. I can go for some more hiking for right now.

2024080920542100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080920542300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti is battling a long dragon, but she isn't scared! All she needs is some Dazzling Gleam to blind her foes!

2024080920551200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

She's so good at handling Dragon-type Pokemon, and she's so cute. It almost feels like she's a Fairy-type!

2024080920570900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, forget about the Crabrawler I found earlier. I just found a bigger and meatier crab for tonight.

2024080920571900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2024080920573400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Crabominable might be a juicy dinner, but it's also really aggressive. Luckily, Spirali got some Thick Fat to protect himself from the cold.

2024080920574100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I should keep that in mind. I think Spirali will be a great Pokemon to use against Ice-type Pokemon.

2024080921044600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Can you please transport some beef steak into my stomach? Thank you.

2024080921045900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, some Tauros steak? Don't mind if I do.

2024080921052200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Don't overdo it, Spirali. I like my steak medium rare.

2024080921055800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The first step to bulking up is high protein intake. I guess that means we'll be having eggs and pork tonight.

2024080921291800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't like getting stared at by a tombstone at the crack of the wall.

2024080921293200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Spiritomb. I still remember this Pokemon. It was a pain to deal with.

2024080921293800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Case in point, Spiritomb just sent Cappelletti to her tomb. I guess its grudge is too much for her to handle.

2024080921301400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The best way to fight sinister Pokemon is to be sinister yourself. Conchiglie's Nasty Plot will hopefully bring us to victory.

2024080921302300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080921303300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is the second time a wild Pokemon fainted from using Memento today. It's weird it has happened twice, but I'll take it.

2024080921311000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm surprised this Liquidation TM hasn't turned into an Icicle Crash in this snowstorm.

2024080921313600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This Sunny Day TM sure hasn't been helpful if it has been left here in this snowy hill. I'll keep it though, in case this snowstorm is getting any worse.

2024080922164000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't want to run into more Spiritomb or other chilly ghosts, so I just head back to the Gym.

2024080922173200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I expected to get interrupted when I entered the Gym, but not by Mr. Jacq of all people.

2024080922173600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This Treasure Hunt has seen some ups and downs, but I enjoy hunting down restaurants and diners from all kinds of towns.

2024080922184800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm glad Mr. Jacq didn't ask anything about my Biology homework. I don't mind talking about Home Ec lessons, though.

2024080922185100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080922185400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Lucky Egg? I can't make egg scrambles from that, but it definitely looks like a useful item.

2024080922581000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

After Mr. Jacq left, I signed up at the reception for the Gym Test. This time I need to a Snow Slope Run.

2024080922590500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I've only seen people do this on JoltikTok before, and this is my first time doing a Snow Slope Run myself.

2024080922595600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024080923000300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm not as good as a professional athlete, but this time record should be enough to pass the Gym Test.
 
2024080923000300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time I found another Gym located on the Glaseado Mountain and completed the Gym Test by sliding with Miraidon.

2024081021052700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The only thing left is to actually challenge the Gym Leader, Grusha.

2024081021055000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hello there, are you Grusha? You look like you can beat me in an eating contest.

2024081021060000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021061700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, never mind. Grusha is actually a human. A snowboarder, for that matter. Is that why he sets up his Gym in the middle of nowhere?

2024081021064000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If you ask me, Pokemon battles are always dangerous. Unlike eating, which is usually safe.

2024081021064300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021064600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha seems to be in a bad mood today, maybe I should just leave him alone. I'll find something else to do.

2024081021065300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Actually I'm not that type of trainer. Maybe you've mistaken me with another Uva Academy student girl?

2024081021074000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha's not going back, so let's taste the icy bite of reality like a chocolate ice cream.

2024081021074700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021075800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha seems like a tough trainer, and I'm already overwhelmed. I'll just have to hope for the best.

2024081021080500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021080800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha led his team with a Frosmoth, which immediately set up a Tailwind on their team. Can't say I like seeing a moth right now.

2024081021081100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021081300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, it isn't just a Tailwind, but it's also a Heat Wave! Frosmoth couldn't stand the heat and bit the dust!

2024081021085700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021085900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I wasn't told there would be polar bears involved! Cavatelli just got hit by an Earthquake, and I think there might be an avalanche incoming.

2024081021090100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021090600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Luckily, Cavatelli managed to eat his emergency Figy Berry and recover some health. That's why you always put food in your pockets!

2024081021090900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021091000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli casted a Heat Wave and melted Beartic's snowy fur away! Now it's just a regular bear!

2024081021091900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021092100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Beartic hit Cavatelli with another Earthquake. His protective armor isn't so effective when grounds are breaking from underneath!

2024081021092400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Suddenly, the temperature around here just took a dive.

2024081021094600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie's up next, 'cause I know he doesn't mind the cold! He could probably use some pants, though.

2024081021100900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021101000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie was also struck by Beartic's Earthquake! At this point, the Gym is gonna collapse.

2024081021101200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021101600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie's scheming something malicious. I don't care as long as he doesn't steal my dinner.

2024081021102300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie has brought some Leftovers to the battle. That's why he's the smartest one around town.

2024081021102500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The opposing Tailwind is gone. That hopefully slows Beartic down a little.

2024081021103300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021103400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Beartic went with Earthquake again, and Conchiglie barely survived! His Leftovers really saved his life!

2024081021103600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021103900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The gemstone on Conchiglie's crown doesn't just look pretty. It is also effective in hunting bears!

2024081021105900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cetitan? Where did the adorable Cetoddle go?

2024081021110500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie needed some time to rest, so he set up a Protect screen to do so.

2024081021111000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021112100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Thanks to Protect, Conchiglie didn't take damage from Cetitan's Ice Shard and got to eat his Leftovers for another turn.

2024081021112700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021113300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It didn't actually matter, though, since Cetitan just finished Conchiglie off with a critical Ice Spinner. Was that necessary?

2024081021120200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Spirali is ready to go next. Pigs don't like snowy weather, but Spirali is special, ok?

2024081021120700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021120800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cetitan threw some Ice Shards at Spirali, but they got bounced back by his Thick Fat!

2024081021121000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021121300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It's getting dark here, so Spirali just lit things up with a Flash Cannon. Consider your day brightened.

2024081021121900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021122100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Can you please stop with the critical hits? It's a little bit rude.

2024081021122600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Spirali went for Flash Cannon again, and this time it did more to Cetitan. Way to go.

2024081021123000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021123200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cetitan is made of solid snow, but it is capable of Liquidation. Spirali doesn't like that, 'cause he doesn't know how to swim.

2024081021123500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021123900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That was the perfect timing for Spirali to eat his favorite snack, Iapapa Berries. That's also how he builds up his Thick Fat.

2024081021124200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021124400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Spirali went with another Flash Cannon, but it didn't quite knock Cetitan out! He's getting so close!

2024081021125100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021125400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cetitan decided to use Ice Spinner this time, but Spirali still managed to eat up the cold.

2024081021125600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021125800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Spirali shot Cetitan with some Psybeam and sent Cetitan back to its snowy hideout. Grusha has just one Pokemon left!

2024081021131000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021131800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha sent out his final Pokemon, Altraia. Judging his expression, he doesn't take things kindly. I might be in danger.

2024081021133300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

oh fuck he hot

2024081021134700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Altaria has wings that look like fluffy snow, and Grusha just turned them into actual snow. The power of Terastallization.

2024081021135000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021135100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Fighting blizzards in this mountain was annoying enough, and now there are Hurricanes?

2024081021135500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If you like playing with wind so much, how about some Icy Wind?

2024081021135700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021135900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Altaria doesn't mind taking Icy Wind, since it is now an Ice-type, but it still got its Speed dropped by that.

2024081021140600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021140800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Flash Cannon worked great against Cetitan, so I figure it might work well against Altaria, too.

2024081021141400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021141800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha is getting desperate, and he's now pulling off a big hit with his Altaria.

2024081021142300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Spirali did so well already, but even the thickest fat wouldn't save him from a powered-up Ice Beam.

2024081021145100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei didn't obey me last time I used him in a Gym Battle, but I'm sure he will be happy to help in this scenario.

2024081021145600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021145800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei threw some gem pebbles at Altaria's face, which is quite effective at breaking its icy crown.

2024081021150100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021150400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Altaria lashed out with a Hurricane. Casunziei is a lightweight and almost got blown off the hill.

2024081021151100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021151300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei went with Power Gem again, and he was so close in knocking Altaria out.

2024081021151800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021152000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei couldn't stand the cold and fell to a mighty Ice Beam. At least he did so much damage before going down.

2024081021153100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Altaria is really weakened already, and Campanelle is here to clean things up.

2024081021153600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021153800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campanelle is so heavy it won't be blown away by Hurricane! All you can here is just a ringing bell.

2024081021154100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021154200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha is probably used to playing with snowballs, but Campanelle is here to wreak havoc with Gyro Balls.

2024081021154700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021155600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With Altaria gone as well, I'm declared the victor of the Gym Battle! Good job, everybody.

2024081021160100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know what, I can really go for some shaved ice right now.

2024081021161000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021162500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grusha gave me my sixth Gym Badge. I think I'm getting the hang of these Gym Challenges.

2024081021164200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021164400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

He also gave me a TM for Ice Spinner. Would be helpful if I have an Ice-type Pokemon, but I don't.

2024081021171800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Somehow, getting defeated only made Grusha friendlier. And now he's inviting me to come back, but this place is still too cold for me.

2024081021173400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021173700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mr. Hassel was waiting for me at the Gym. Turns out he has been spectating this match. Don't you feel cold?

2024081021174000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081021174700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mr. Hassel thinks highly of my "battle strategies" and "artful training", except I just do whatever I feel like in Pokemon battles.

2024081021175300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mr. Hassel is now the third person who feels confident I can collect all the Gym Badges. Guess what, I'm actually just two away.

2024081021180000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, the art class, huh? Maybe I'll be busy taking Pokemon Gyms, haha.

2024081021181500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I looked everywhere on my map, and I only found one remaining Gym. I guess that's where I'll be heading next.
 
2024081021160100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I obtained my sixth Gym Badge by beating Grusha in an ice-cream eating contest!

2024081022073400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's leave the cold behind us. I headed to the southern Paldea to find the next Gym. At this point, I might be able to grab all the Gym Badges.

2024081022074400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The next Gym is far in the south. I think it might be up that mountain.

2024081022202500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know what, I think I remember this place. There were some dangerous Pokemon hiding in that tunnel.

2024081022203800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm back to Alfornada Cavern, and this time I'm not getting swept by any stupid Dugtrio.

2024081022205700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A wild Toxtricity? Is there a Ryme concert going on here? I'm low-key excited for that.

2024081022211100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, maybe not when my Pokemon get paralyzed by the power of rock music. Pappardelle is more of a dance-pop singer type anyways.

2024081022235200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of Ryme, she gave me that Shadow Ball TM, and I think it's about time to use it. Pappardelle can use some new moves.

2024081022241000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei also wants to shoot some Shadow Balls. I guess shadows do appear with the Sun most of the time.

2024081022405500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Another Toxtricity performance? For free? This cavern is the perfect place for rock lovers.

2024081022410500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, they really can stop with all these paralyses. I don't have that many Cheri Berries in my bag.

2024081022553300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Excuse me? Are you saying I won't be getting a feast dinner tonight? That's a hazy future.

2024081022555100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Who's the better ball? A giant smirking Poke Ball, or Rotelle's mysterious brain ball?

2024081022555700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Did I just witness an Electro Ball using Electro Ball? It's gonna cause a power outage!

2024081022560100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2024081022560400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The good thing about battling in a cave is that Rotelle can just grab some mud and shoot at Electrode's face.

2024081022562100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081022562300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess Electrode didn't take that kindly. It's now floating in air, and Rotelle can't aim his Mud Shot like that.

2024081022562700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If you like floating in air so much, then maybe you'll enjoy Rotelle's telekinesis show with his Extrasensory power?

2024081022573200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hm, something tells me that Pokemon is gonna bite my entire party.

2024081022575400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081022575600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This cavern is so dark Pappardelle needs to light up everything with some Lumina Crash.

2024081022580100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081022580400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Argh! Is that a mini earthquake? Oh, never mind, Gabite is just trying to Bulldoze the entire cavern. No big deal.

2024081022580900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081022581000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was right about the biting part. Pappardelle is no longer an egg, and I don't think she's on the menu anymore.

2024081022583300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei, now's your showtime to demolish that hungry dragon.

2024081022585300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei gave up his power of summoning the Sun and gained a stronger psychic power with Psychic.

2024081100035500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Is that a Houndoom staring at me? I remember getting doomed by this thing from way back.

2024081100041600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A dog that comes from Hell and comes with a ghostly balloon. This is like the scariest shit I've ever seen.

2024081100042000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100042100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei was still in awe when he saw the scary Houndoom. He got caught off-guard by Sucker Punch then!

2024081100042400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100042900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Luckily, he brought his emergency Wiki Berry with him. This is why you always fill you snack pockets.

2024081100043200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100043600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Guess what? Ghosts are actually scared of shadows, and that Shadow Ball TM comes in real handy here.

2024081100044100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100044200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Houndoom went with another Sucker Punch and knocked Casunziei out. Maybe he should not have forgotten Morning Sun after all.

2024081100050800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100051800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle is the next one to fight the devil dog, and he got heavily damaged by Shadow Ball, too!

2024081100052000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100052200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The correct way of handling the dog of death is by slicing it with some Night Slash.

2024081100052600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now that Houndoom's Tera-Ghost Jewel is gone. It is at least a little bit less scarier.

2024081100053300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100053600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Destiny Bond? This thing clearly has a linkage to the underworld.

2024081100053900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100054000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle chopped Houndoom again, but this time with his favorite Scared Sword. Houndoom stood no chance.

2024081100054300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081100054800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Houndoom went down, but Farfalle also went down due to Destiny Bond. I guess that's how most heroic stories go.

2024081115135900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115140200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ma'am, I was totally not riding any Pokemon. Miraidon isn't my Pokemon to begin with.

2024081115144300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You call that thing a dragon? It looks more like a pansotti. So intimidating.

2024081115150800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Corallini's tail is getting stronger and stronger. She can now cover it in a wave of water to hit her foes.

2024081115163700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle is interested in swapping lunch boxes, but not swapping speeds.

2024081115164400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle is interested in swapping lunch boxes, but not swapping power.

2024081115165100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle is interested in swapping lunch boxes, but not swapping guards.

2024081115170400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This actually looks a dragon, and I think it's time for me to peace out.

2024081115180200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There are more of those pansotti dragons crawling around. This cavern really doesn't feel like a safe place.

2024081115195600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Luxray's fangs look so scary Ferrazzuoli got his attack dropped!

2024081115195900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli's horns look so scary Luxray got its attack dropped!

2024081115225000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115225700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There is no form of greenery in this cavern, and Cappelletti is here to grow a Frenzy Plant.

2024081115283100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Overheat? Make sure this disc stays away from Tauros, 'cause I don't like my steaks overcooked.

2024081115285300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There are wild Medicham around here? I guess this would be a great place to meditate.

2024081115290500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Acupressure? Doesn't that help with my appetite if I get sick?

2024081115291500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I have a Medicham myself, so I know it won't like getting slapped by Shadow Ball. Knowing is half the battle, after all.

2024081115345800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lady, I'm not sure how does the weather affect you if you just stay in this cave anyways?

2024081115351900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

*cough* Well, it is *cough* getting sandy now. *cough*

2024081115353000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115353400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maltagliati hasn't had much time to shine, so let's try his fillet cooking against this sand hippo.

2024081115354300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115354400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Fillet Away cut Maltagliati's health, which left him susceptible to an incoming Earthquake. I'm quite certain this cavern is gonna collapse soon.

2024081115360500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115360600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle is up next, 'cause he doesn't mind earthquakes that much. Though, he has to take Hippowdon's Take Down instead.

2024081115361100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115361200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle asserts his mind control power with some Extrasensory. Hippowdon probably doesn't like it that much.

2024081115362400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Then Rotelle should stick to his Extrasensory strategy. He's making slow but steady progress.

2024081115362700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115363000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Never mind. Rotelle got sent away by Hippowdon's Roar. I guess the hippo really doesn't like Extrasensory.

2024081115363800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti was forced to battle. She's just a little girl, please treat her gently.

2024081115364700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115365100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti, I thought you are more of a dragon slayer instead of a Dragon Clawer, but ok.

2024081115365500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115370100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Guys, remember that the secret to having good health is to make sure you get enough sleep.

2024081115371200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115371600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This battle is taking some time, and I should come up with a good strategy. Let's calm our minds first.

2024081115372600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least the sandstorm is gone. It should be easier to see without sand in my eyes.

2024081115374500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115375400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Since Hippowdon is still sleeping so soundly, Cappelletti took the opportunity for another Calm Mind.

2024081115380300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115380500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti shot Hippowdon with some Psybeam, which actually didn't do that much, but she managed to confuse it.

2024081115381700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115382000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Another Roar? Are you sure it isn't just your stomach growling?

2024081115383100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli was picked to be next, and he gave Hippowdon a good scary look.

2024081115384200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115384300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli, I'm actually getting hungry from this fight. I need you to just go all-out with your Body Slam.

2024081115384900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Another Earthquake. We need to get out of this cavern before the rocks start falling.

2024081115385600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115385700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ferrazzuoli showed Hippowdon how scary he is with a Zen Headbutt, but Hippowdon didn't flinch a bit.

2024081115385900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

(Hippowdon has such a good sleep schedule, and I'm kinda jealous ngl.)

2024081115395600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115395900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's not mess around anymore. Farfalle just sliced through the sleeping hippo with a critical Leaf Blade.

2024081115401500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We're still not done. Lycanroc's up next, and I hope it doesn't know how to Rest in battles.

2024081115402000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Bite on Farfalle? I know you're getting hungry, too.

2024081115402300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115402400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's just end this battle quickly with a Sacred Sword. I need to go.

2024081115414100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I finally escaped the dark cavern! I think the town is just here.
 
2024081115414100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I explored the dark cave of doom and managed to escape at the end.

2024081115513700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Right when I left the cave, I got run over by a speeding Revavroom. Cappelletti, no!

2024081115513900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti flinched from that and honestly, I understand. Who would've expected to see a vehicle on the pedestrian's path.

2024081115515800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maybe Cappelletti is not the best Pokemon to face a poisonous vehicle. Let's see what Rotelle can do.

2024081115520700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Revavroom screeched into Rotelle's ears ... Actually, does he even have ears?

2024081115522100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115522300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sir, there's mud in your Revavroom's wheels. Maybe you should have it checked before your next delivery.

2024081115523800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalle learns a new type of swordplay. By filling his blade with psychic power, he can use Psycho Cut.

2024081115531600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! There are wild Gothorita living here. This must be a great place for Psychic-type Pokemon to hangout.

2024081115540600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oops. Did someone drop their keychain on accident?

2024081115550000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Banette? Mabye this isn't actually a great place for Psychic-type Pokemon to be around.

2024081115551200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081115551500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You hurt yourself just to make Ferrazzuoli suffer? Really?

2024081115551700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Banette even fainted from using that move. Some Ghost-type Pokemon are so vengeful, and they creep me out.

2024081115594200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Using Dark-type moves is fine, but do you really need to chop Ferrazzuoli's throat? He won't be able to eat sandwiches now!

2024081118535900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Are we having Peking Duck tonight? Don't mind if I do.

2024081118540600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081118540900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, did Cavatelli turn from fire into water? (Is this an illegal challenge now? What the heck.)

2024081118543700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081118543800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I don't think using Hydro Pump on Cavatelli after soaking him up is a good idea.

2024081118550000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

WHAT? I'm NEVER too nervous to eat. In fact, eating will make me relax more!

2024081118552600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A fire plus another fire equals to a bigger fire! That's the secret to cooking big pots of food.

2024081118562900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of food, I'm getting hungry. Let's pick up some hot peppers on my way back to town.

2024081118581200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I need some ice cubes for this lemon tea I'm making. Cappelletti, can you punch this Eiscue's face to grab some for me?

2024081118581900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, I think my party really is getting haunted by that Banette. Why would Cappelletti use Shadow Punch otherwise?

2024081118582300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There we go! I got the ice cubes I need. Too bad Eiscue is having no ice now.

2024081118583500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081118584300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Never mind. It just started snowing and now Eiscue grew its Ice Face back up again.

2024081118584900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's just go for a direct attack with Psybeam now. I don't need the ice cubes anymore.

2024081118585800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti got a brighter idea with using Water Pulse. I guess ice cubes do float on water.

2024081118591300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081118591500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hm ... I don't think role playing Eiscue will work. I mean, you won't want your head to turn into ice cubes, right?

2024081118592800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081118593100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Anyone got ideas what we're doing here? Eiscue definitely doesn't remember.

2024081118595900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Is it just me or is Cappelletti getting eviler lately? Like, all she likes are shadows and mean looks.

2024081119003500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's not eff around. I need to go, and we've spent enough time with this Eiscue. Good thing I don't eat penguin meat.

2024081119011600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081119012700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I can't believe it! Cappelletti evolved and got even more hair to cover her body! She's so tall, but her body is so tiny!

2024081119013500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hatterene is a Psychic-type Pokemon but acts like a Dark-type Pokemon. Maybe I should treat Cappelletti more nicely from now on.

2024081119014800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti wants to learn Psycho Cut, too? Sure, but it's weird this is the second time this has happened tonight.

2024081119021100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's test out Cappelletti's new hair strength against a wild Honchkrow. What can go wrong?

2024081119022100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081119022300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cappelletti is now a Fairy-type Pokemon, which means her Dazzling Gleam should be even stronger!

2024081119030000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think Cappelletti and Farfalline will be great friends. I'm sure Farfalle will protect these two while they're playing.

2024081119033300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You cannot see clearly, but I'm making a sandwich. This is tough even for someone who makes a lot of sandwiches.

2024081119035300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I tried my best to put the cheese on the sandwich, but it didn't work very well.

2024081119042900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I think that Banette laid a no-sandwich curse on us. I'm doomed!

2024081119043600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I guess it didn't turn out too badly. I mean, the food still tastes great, and I'll take it.

2024081120341000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Hurricane TM? I think I need to run to a shelter.

2024081120392500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081120393400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Brambleghast sounds like a great dinner for Ravioli. I bet it tastes spicy and crispy.

2024081120400800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Update on my attachment issue:
I've been trying to upload pictures for the last few days. I still run into an error message saying I've hit the maximum attachment limit. Things have gotten better with my highest record sitting at around 30 pictures without errors, but that is still much fewer than what I need. I am also unsure whether this maximum attachment limit is an intended constraint or an unexpected bug from the recent forum style update.
Unfortunately, real life has been a more challenging game than Pokemon Scarlet/Violet lately, and I think it's about time I officially take a small break from this thread. I'll see what I can do if the attachment problems are not resolved. Maybe I'll push some smaller updates in the future or maybe I'll just hope for the best. I do wish to continue posting Adige's adventure as soon as possible, since she got some great stuffs coming soon.

On a more positive note, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It isn't just a regular full moon night, as the moon supposedly looks the largest tonight. It is the festival where you get to eat delicious mooncakes and host a heartwarming family gathering. I wish you all a happy day, and I'll hopefully see you again soon.:blobwizard:

(I still can't upload too many files at once, but this time I got exactly 50 photos. Maybe that's the new limit?)

2024081119022300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, Cappelletti evolved into Hatterene, I think. Somehow I don't recall what happened.

2024081121003500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

We also reached a new town in the South Province. Time for some sightseeing!

2024081121005500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The leaking tower is pretty cool. I mean, there are some fresh carps bouncing around!

2024081121013600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, what's the odd thunder will strike this tower twice? This should be a safe place for picnic.

2024081121015900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Enough messing around on the tower, let's glide our way back to the town.

2024081121024000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081121024200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I got a TM for Flare Blitz as a reward for beating trainers. Honestly, I like my steak medium rare more.

2024081121230100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I noticed some Gothorita walking around town! They must've been native to this place!

2024081121233000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'll do a food tour in the town later. I wanna go check out this peak first.

2024081121241600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, it's a Rufflet, the bird with beautiful feathers. Doesn't it just look like it lives in a cold region?

2024081121244100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I don't want to raise non-Psychic Pokemon, so goodbye, Rufflet.

2024081121261400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Argh. I don't know how to feel about these Hypno living around town. I'm sure Lotty's glad to see some friends, though.

2024081121265800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

(Let's take a picture without using the in-game picture-taking function!)

2024081121281400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2024081121282100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm glad to see more Psychic-type Pokemon around, but you don't have the permission to eat Campy's emergency Figy Berry!

2024081121282500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That's what you get for stealing Campy's lunch! It may not have a mouth, but it still needs to eat!

2024081121284200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It honestly feels like the wild area here is just duplicating my team of Psychic-type Pokemon!

2024081122103000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sir, I'm really worried, too. I don't see any restaurants up on this hill.

2024081122104900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That's why I don't raise Electric-type Pokemon. Imagine how much static I would feel.

2024081122110100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Huh, why are we suddenly walking on electric current now? What about the grassfield?

2024081122111100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081122111300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm not an electric expert, but this feels like an unsafe circuit right here. Are you sure Farfalline won't die from electric shock?

2024081122114100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081122114300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

What do you mean? The sun is still out. Why is there suddenly a thunder striking us?

2024081122114700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I figured walking on electric current would just leave us paralyzed. That's common sense, Adige!

2024081122115700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That's what you get for paralyzing Farfalline! And I don't even have an emergency Cheri Berry.

2024081122124700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There we go! Farfalline finally learns Psychic, living up to her type!

2024081122130100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm so hungry I can swallow an entire eel.

2024081122130500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I've cooked several eels in my life, but this might be my first time getting cooked by one.

2024081122133700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081122133900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Time to show Eelektross how it's done! I mean, let's burn it up well done!

2024081122134300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, Cavatelli. Maybe you've overcooked that one.

2024081122134600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081122134800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rinsing an eel with some cold water is indeed a good idea. Now don't mind me when I start my lunch!

2024081122525400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There's a cool-looking pond here. I've found myself another cool picnic spot!

2024081122533300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hm, I've never tried putting frog meat in my sandwiches, but maybe that won't be a bad idea.

2024081122541400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Shiny Stone? It looks like an ostrich egg if you ask me.

2024081122544400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I found a sea bass! No wait - it's at least a C+!

2024081122552900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yes, Corallini! You need your Psychic Fangs if you want to swallow all the fishies in the sea!

2024081122554200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Summoning rain could be helpful for finding some rare seafood, I guess. Maybe later.

2024081122564800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I personally think blue-striped Basculin taste better with more flavors in their meat.

2024081122565000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But I don't mind having some red-striped Basculin from time to time! I kinda wonder if there are more types of Basculin in other regions!

2024081122570300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, I feel that. Sometimes I feel like I can't move after having a massive feast.

2024081122574500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081122581300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This place is littered with TMs. I found one for Earth Power and one for Play Rough!

2024081122582700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, maybe I don't want to move forward anymore.

2024081122583300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's just take a Flying Taxi back to Alfronada. I still need to explore that place.

2024081123020100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I have a feeling Shadow Ball will be quite helpful, so let's make some more of these TMs.

2024081123434900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! Did they just decorate this town with plates? This must be a great place for finding delicacies!

2024081123435600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Skill Swap is a move that requires psychic power to exchange Abilities. Sounds like a great move for my Psychic-type Pokemon!
 
2024081123434900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I arrived Alfornada and saw that there are dining plates everywhere! Now I just need a proper food tour!

2024081123441800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey Spirali, you can't do that in front of everyone. There are kids reading this thread.

2024081123445200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Imprison? Am I getting sent to food prison?

2024081123453900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's start our food tour with a standard Tropical Sandwich. Things never go wrong in Every Wich Way!

2024081123455600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The sandwich was alright. I can honestly make a tastier one.

2024081123463800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

How about some sweet Alfajores as desserts? I don't like coffee, so that's all I'm having in the cafe.

2024081123464800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123465200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I can never resist sweet treats like these! I might need to visit the dentist's after this, but these alfajores were absolutely worth it!

2024081123472700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Expensive food. Cheap food. That is only the selfish perception of people. Real foodies try all of them and do not pick favorites.

2024081123473700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123474600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This dish of Pot-au-Feu was smaller than I expected, but that doesn't stop it from being good!

2024081123483400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Come again, Conchiglie? I don't quite catch what you're saying. Wait, are you speaking in English?

2024081123490400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

After trying out more food, I went to the Gym, and of course, Nemona was there waiting for me. Oh no.

2024081123490700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123491200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona kept saying I'm doing well. I'm honestly getting so confused. Am I really getting better at Pokemon battling?

2024081123491700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123494700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I wasn't surprised to hear Nemona ask for a pre-Gym battle, and I guess it would be a good way to test my actual battling skills.

2024081123500100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I can't believe I'm saying it, but I'm not actually terrified of battling Nemona this time around! Let's do it!

2024081123505000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's kick off the battle with an epic showdown between Conchiglie and Nemona's Lycanroc!

2024081123505300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hm, I expected Nemona to use some more skill-based strategies instead of just throwing sand at my eyes.

2024081123505600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123505800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's wash the sand away! Conchiglie used Surf and knocked out Lycanroc! I guess it wasn't a big surfing fan.

2024081123513900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123514400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona sent in Pawmot next, which started by using Thunder Wave to paralyze Conchiglie.

2024081123514700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie couldn't move due to the paralysis! I think he is just panicking when he saw an Electric-type Pokemon.

2024081123515400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123515500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch! When I say I want some sparkling water, I didn't mean it like using Spark on my Water-type Pokemon.

2024081123515800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

For the second time in a row, Conchiglie was paralyzed and couldn't move! Maybe I should've brought some more Cheri Berries.

2024081123520600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie couldn't use a move, but he was totally capable of eating his Leftovers. I'm proud and frustrated at the same time.

2024081123521200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123521600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, Conchiglie still did well in this fight. Maybe it'll be time for him to take a rest.

2024081123523200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I sent Farfalline in next, and she traced Pawmot's Volt Absorb! Why didn't I think of this sooner?

2024081123523800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pawmot used Quick Attack on Farfalline. That was quick but not very strong.

2024081123524100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123524400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline unleashed a super effective Psychic on Pawmot! That's why I was not worried about Fighting-type Pokemon.

2024081123530300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123530500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nemona's next Pokemon was Sliggoo, which didn't like Dazzling Gleam at all!

2024081123530700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sliggoo used Water Pulse, but I'm not sure if it was pure water or gooey water.

2024081123531500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123531900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

One more Dazzling Gleam and Sliggoo's gone. I'm honestly doing quite well so far.

2024081123535800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But the battle isn't ending yet, and Nemona still has her ace Pokemon.
 
2024081123541500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Of course, Nemona's ace Pokemon was her Meowscarada, which actually looks less scary when Terastallized for some reasons.

2024081123542200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I must not let my guard down. Nemona spent a lot of time training her grass cat.

2024081123542400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123543100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Case in point. Meowscarada managed to remove Farfalline with just one Flower Trick! This cat is evil, I tell you!

2024081123545700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Rotelle, I trust that you can handle this situation!

2024081123550500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123551100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, bugs do live around flowers, so Rotelle doesn't mind taking Flower Trick that much.

2024081123551700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123551900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Even though Struggle Bug was super effective, it wasn't doing that much damage. Man, Pokemon battling sure takes a lot.

2024081123553400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I forgot. Rotelle actually likes eating mud only, eating flowers is not exactly his favorites.

2024081123553900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123554100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

So close! Rotelle's second Struggle Bug almost knocked Meowscarada out!

2024081123555200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123555500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Unfortunately, Rotelle couldn't quite stand against Meowscarada's dirty tricks. Another one bites the dust.

2024081123561200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Surely, Campy would be able to defend itself against all sorts of tough foes, right?

2024081123561800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123562400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Even with Campy's mighty defenses, Flower Trick did quite a lot. Meowscarada is definitely a Pokemon I don't want to mess around with.

2024081123562900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123563000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campy isn't really a strong Pokemon, but its Gyro Ball is more than enough to finish things up.

2024081123563400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Terastallized opponents are always so tough, but it's so satisfying beating them down!

2024081123564400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123565600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was shocked to see myself beating Nemona in yet another Pokemon battle! It's like Pokemon battling is now my second instinct.

2024081123570100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081123570200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Having a full meal would be able to heal my Pokemon, but Max Potions will do, too.

2024081123570500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I feel like I'm getting closer to becoming a Champion. The next thing I need to do is to take on the Gym in this town!

2024081123572800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now that I get to actually navigate the Gym, I saw an adorable Spoink bouncing around!

2024081123573200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Some Hatenna are chilling here as well! I love how Psychic-type Pokemon are living here!

2024081123574000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But I have never seen this Pokemon before. It is so polite and greeted me properly. Is this a Psychic-type Pokemon, too?
 
2024081123574000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I made it to the Alfornada Gym and saw some Psychic-type Pokemon along with a Pokemon I've never seen before!

2024081215421300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, I'm pretty good at doing exercises. Gotta keep working out to stay fit after eating so much.

2024081215421600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, it is an exercise about emotions? Well, I'm pretty good at being emotional, too.

2024081215425100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, is this the right place for the Emotional Spectrum Practice? Hm, why does this person look so familiar?

2024081215430000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh crap, my battle studies teacher is here? I hope she isn't here for the assignment I was supposed to finish two months ago.

2024081215430400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, Ms. Dendra is actually here to help out the Gym Leader here. Such a great friendship they have.

2024081215432200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ok, let me take a quick breath and prepare to dive into my emotions. I'm ready!

2024081215433600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Huh, Ms. Dendra is using a Medicham for the practice. I didn't know she likes Psychic-type Pokemon.

2024081215440200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

One hundred free chicken nuggets! Yes, please! I'm sure Lotty would love that too!

2024081215442600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This strawberry shortcake tastes like macaroni and cheese! I didn't see that coming, did you, Lotty?

2024081215443000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I still remember when Buca di Beppo closed their shops! WORST DAY OF MY LIFE! I'll ask Lotty to hypnotize their executives!

2024081215445700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh my, working on my emotions is definitely tougher than I thought, but I also feel so much better now. Let's do some Pokemon battling then.

2024081215451500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah! This trainer right here is using a Gothorita. I sure feel happy getting surrounded by so many Psychic-type Pokemon!

2024081215452200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I know what Psychic-type Pokemon don't like seeing. One of them is Lotty's "Foul Play", whatever that means.

2024081215452600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

*sob* Seeing a Gothorita cry actually makes me kinda sad. I don't know why but I can empathize Psychic-type Pokemon.

2024081215454500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081215455100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Lotty just poisoned Gothorita, and Gothorita is getting sadder. I don't know need no empathy to feel that.

2024081215462200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Asking me to fight Psychic-type Pokemon is just brutal. I can't handle this! *sob*

2024081215463400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

A Kirlia after a Gothorita? Are you like a Psychic-type trainer, too?

2024081215465600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I have something better than that. I'm sure Farfalline would be delighted to battle a Kirlia.

2024081215470300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

How does Farfalline's forewarn psychic powers work on fellow Psychic-type Pokemon? Well, that doesn't actually matter.

2024081215471500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081215471800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline knows better than anybody that Kirlia doesn't like getting hit by Shadow Ball, which is exactly what she's doing.

2024081215475900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Part 2 of the Emotional Practice. Here we go!

2024081215480900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Now that I pay attention, I see that everyone is actually using a Psychic-type Pokemon! I'm more than just excited!

2024081215490500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm angry, because this fun exercise is ending already! I hope I can join another practice soon!

2024081215493100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time I'm facing the Grumpig trainer. I'm glad Spirali isn't here to witness this.

2024081215500400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I switched Lotty out to Ravioli, who then crunched on Grumpig. I knew she's into pork chops!

2024081215505400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grumpig fell asleep mid-battle. Spiarli also likes dozing off, but he wouldn't have done it during a battle!

2024081215511000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, do you know that snoring could be a warning sign of bad health? Make sure to get your Grumpig checked.

2024081215511600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Some people don't like being near someone who snores, but flinching is another level, Ravioli.

2024081215515200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You have a Medicham, too? This Pokemon is just everywhere in this town.

2024081215515800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081215515900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Medicham got some great kicking skills, if it managed to hit Ravioli's head all the way up there.

2024081215520200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Poor Ravioli. She did well, but I guess she doesn't like fighting fellow Psychic-type Pokemon either.

2024081215522100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm sure Farfalline would be fine fighting Medicham. Let's have her trace some Pure Power first!

2024081215522600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081215522800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline's Dazzling Gleam is just too much for Medicham to handle. Again, I know my Psychic-type Pokemon well!

2024081215524100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait, is that the Pokemon I saw in the Gym? Or is it not? Anyways, it's called Indeedee and that's so cute!

2024081215525300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081215525600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

My theory's right! Indeedee knows Psychic, which means it is probably a Psychic-type Pokemon. I need to find one, now!

2024081215530100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know what, Indeedee is so cute I think I want more than one! I just need to find them in the wild!

2024081215532300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

2024081215533000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm glad my unstable emotions and my middling battle skills were enough to pass the test. I feel relieved, for sure.

2024081215535600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei, do you want a run of the Emotional Spectrum Practice, too? You know, 'cause you are ESPeon?

2024081215561200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of emotional, Ferrazzuoli still freaking hates me and does not give a single fuck about me.

2024081215580000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I must calm myself before going to the Gym. I think taking some warm tea should work.

2024081215583200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Sinistea can't even touch Ravioli and her Armor Tail!

2024081220071100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220071600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's get ready for the Gym Battle! I'm excited to see the person who's behind all these Psychic-type Pokemon!
 
2024081215490500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I took part in the Emotion Spectrum Practice, and I passed with flying colors.

2024081220073900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This time, I get to face the Gym Leader directly, and I'm so curious why there are so many Psychic-type Pokemon in this Gym!

2024081220074500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The Gym Leader here is certainly a busy person, working as a makeup artist and a Gym Leader. Does she even have time to eat?

2024081220080300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220080600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was officially welcomed by the Gym Leader, Ms. Tulip! I wasn't expecting her to be so pretty! Wow!

2024081220081200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Tulip is Ms. Dendra's friend. Does that mean she has a Medicham, too?

2024081220082200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm not sure about looking more beautiful, but that ESP exercise was a great way to release my emotions!

2024081220083800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's start our Gym Battle! I've been so excited for this!

2024081220085300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I sent Casunziei out first! I was surprised to see Ms. Tulip use a Farigiraf! Does that mean ... ?

2024081220090000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220090300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If what I'm thinking is right, then we'll need a Light Screen to protect our side from special moves!

2024081220090600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220090700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But of course, I have a Farigiraf myself, too, and I know they have a nasty habit of crunching everything they see.

2024081220101100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220101400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If Farigiraf is using Crunch, then Casunziei needs to leave. Let's pass the baton to somebody else.

2024081220102700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's see how Farfalline fares against Farigiraf! Not sure how she traces an Armor Tail for herself, but I'll take it!

2024081220103100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline was also hit by a Crunch, but she's fine taking that hit!

2024081220104300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220104800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's calm ourselves down with some Calm Mind actions. Let's think about the sandwiches we're going to eat after this battle.

2024081220105300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farigiraf put on a Reflect screen. I'll have to pay attention to that later.

2024081220110100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220110300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farigiraf should've used some sunscreens instead, 'cause Farfalline's gonna shine with Dazzling Gleam!

2024081220110500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220110700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farigiraf went with Crunch again, and she's still hanging tough. She's getting gradually worn down, though.

2024081220111000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220111200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline blinded Farigiraf again with Dazzling Gleam. It should've been super effective, since Farigiraf has four eyes.

2024081220111400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It saddens me to see Farigiraf getting knocked out, but I must do what I gotta do!

2024081220111900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Unfortunately, fighting Farigiraf took long enough that the Light Screen on our side was gone.

2024081220112800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

YES, I'm right! Ms. Tulip sent in Espathra, which means she's a Psychic-type trainer, just like I am!

2024081220113200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220113500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This battle just got even more exciting, 'cause we both know what each of our Pokemon is weak to!

2024081220113800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220114200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I bet Ms. Tulip didn't know I have Farfalline bring her Wiki Berry to the battle! Food is always the key to success!

2024081220114600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220114900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I know exactly what Espathra doesn't like, and Shadow Ball is one of them.

2024081220115200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Seeing Espathra in battle makes me miss Pappardelle. I gotta bring her back sometimes.

2024081220120500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

HAHAHA! Even though I found out Ms. Tulip loves Psychic-type Pokemon, I didn't expect us to use Gardevoir at the same time!

2024081220121000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220121400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

They say your biggest enemy is yourself, and I don't think this is what they meant.

2024081220121600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220121800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch! My biggest enemy is actually random critical hits! That was unfortunate.

2024081220122000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Farfalline, you did great, but I guess we have to train on your psychic powers more.

2024081220122500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The good news is the opposing Reflect screen is finally gone. We should've hired a Screen Cleaner or something.

2024081220134400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know, Casunziei is such a sociable Pokemon I bet he'll make friends with Ms. Tulip's Pokemon easily.

2024081220135200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220135500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The opposing Gardevoir has already been weakened a lot, and it takes just another Shadow Ball to clean things up.

2024081220135800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The epic Gardevoir showdown ends in both Gardevoir fainting. That's why they need to be protected by their knights.

2024081220141300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Did someone say cake? Oh, as in caked-on mascara. I can't eat that.
 
2024081220142100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Tulip's final Pokemon is ... Florges? Is that even a Psychic-type Pokemon?

2024081220142900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh wait, Ms. Tulip is preparing a makeover for her Florges.

2024081220144800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Florges Terastallized into a Psychic-type! I guess that counts.

2024081220145000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220145300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Florges is Ms. Tulip's ace Pokemon, so I have to be careful around it. How about some Light Screen protection?

2024081220145600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220145700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Florges summoned the moon while the Sun's out! Casunziei probably doesn't like that too much!

2024081220150000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220150400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei almost got knocked out by that Moonblast, but he survived and even got to eat his Figy Berry.

2024081220151200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220151500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Casunziei lashed out with some Shadow Ball action. I guess that's naturally what happened after a moon blasts.

2024081220151800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220152000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Florges stirred up a Petal Blizzard. I would've loved it better if I was having a Kanto-style picnic.

2024081220152500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220152600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

(Smogon forums in shambles when they see me Dry Pass twice in a battle.)

2024081220154600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The weather's getting worse, and we need Campy's help to clear the storm!

2024081220154800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220155000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Florges' Moonblast didn't do much to Campy's metal body!

2024081220155500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm not sure if Florges has any other moves to do more damage to Campy. It is just so tanky!

2024081220160000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220160200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campy is so good at taking hits and lashing out with a Payback! We were getting so close with that big hit!

2024081220160900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Florges was still using nothing but Moonblast. I was not worried at all.

2024081220161300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220161400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campy finished things up with a Gyro Ball. Hm, I can really go for some rice balls right now.

2024081220161900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220162100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Florges' Psychic-crown was smashed and shattered. Get that fake Psychic-type Pokemon outta here.

2024081220163600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campy was getting so excited it wanted to make some quirky Metal Sounds. I don't think it's a good time for that.

2024081220164000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's hear that lunch bell rings!

2024081220164600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is definitely one of the most magical and enchanting battle I've ever had!

2024081220165600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220170100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Tulip seems to think highly about my "beauty", but I don't plan to become a model or anything like that.

2024081220171400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's celebrate my victory with a yoga pose! Ms. Tulip must've learned it from her Medicham!

2024081220172400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is my seventh Gym Badge, and that should mean I can catch some even stronger Pokemon.

2024081220172800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220173000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I also received a TM for Psychic as well as its recipe. I'm sure this will be helpful for all of my Pokemon!

2024081220174700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Goodbye, Ms. Tulip! I hope to see you again soon!

2024081220180600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220180900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I was expecting to see Nemona after the Gym battle, but I was instead greeted by Ms. Rika.

2024081220181900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220182100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ms. Rika was accompanied by a little child called Poppy. The only thing I know is that poppy seeds are toxic and should not be eaten.

2024081220182700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220183100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Huh? This Poppy kid is one of the Elite Four, too? Maybe the Elite Four isn't as scary as I thought.

2024081220183700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220183900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

If I work my way through the Pokemon League, I would be able to face the Elite Four. I mean, I won't lose to a child, right?

2024081220184900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm already so close to beating all the Gyms. At this point, it feels like I should try the Champion Assessment at least once.

2024081220192400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

With the Alfronada Gym out of the way, I don't really see any remaining Gyms that I haven't visited. That's weird.

2024081220193300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Maybe I'll try to find some more in the North? I see that there are stuffs I need to take care of over there.
 
2024081220192400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I beat the Alfronada Gym, but I couldn't find any remaining Gyms.

2024081220210800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Instead, I went back to the school and took some Home Ec classes. I missed Mr. Saguaro!

2024081220213100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220213300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Today's lesson isn't about food, which is a bummer, but I don't mind learning about other Home Ec stuffs.

I've heard that some Pokemon have different colors than other ones of its species. Is that what you're referring to?

2024081220214000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, filthy Pokemon, ew! We can't allow that to happen. I mean, Lotty is pretty filthy, if you ask me.

2024081220214500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pokemon get dirty when they get hurt by moves, which means they get dirty ALL THE TIME!

2024081220214800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220215100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Even just playing in the wild can make Pokemon dirty! So, I can't have picnic with them?

2024081220220300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I've tried washing my Pokemon in a picnic, if that helps.

2024081220221300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220223600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

That's right. Pokemon Wash allows Pokemon to get cleaner, and they can also recover from battles!

2024081220224600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220225100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I noted that down, I'm not cleaning Rotelle and Lotty because they very much enjoy being dirty.

2024081220231000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I must've missed a class on accident! I must catch up with the progress by going for another class immediately!

2024081220232900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, that's the biggest reason why I attend all the Home Ec lessons. I'm here for the food!

2024081220233300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh well, I guess clothing is also part of Home Ec, huh.

2024081220243000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

For the first time, I didn't pay attention at all in class. I don't think I need to know anything about clothing!

2024081220243600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know, this is the reason why I like Home Ec more than subjects like Mathematics. I mean, other than the food part, of course.

2024081220243900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081220244300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I will always remember what Mr. Saguaro taught us in class! I'm sure they'll come in handy whenever I start cooking.

2024081220245400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is already the final Home Ec lesson! Time really flies by! But what I hate more is that we'll have a final exam coming soon.

2024081221402200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Screw that final exam. How about going back to Alfornada for some berry harvests?

2024081221412000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The ESP session is open again after I cleared the Alfornada Gym. Let's train on my emotional practices, why not?

2024081221444300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Conchiglie is, in fact, never surprised. He looks about as unfazed as possible right here.

2024081221460200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Some Cheri Berries? I'm shocked.

2024081221472100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081221472300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You might not be able to tell the difference, but this is Campy's excited face.

2024081221484800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Some Aguav Berries. I bet they're good for your blood circulation.

2024081221530400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know what they say, "A Leppa a day, keep the Chansey away."

2024081221540500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Of course, I have to try out the ESP with Orecchiette. That's what Ms. Dendra and Ms. Tulip both use, after all.

2024081221541200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Orecchiette and Ms. Dendra's Medicham are like twins when they make the same surprised face!

2024081221555100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081221555400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Liechi Berries sound like something they can save us from an uphill battle.

2024081222143000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ravioli is so tall they can't even put everyone behind us.

2024081222524800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

ESP exercises are fun, but I think I'll stop here. I got quite a lot of berries, though!

2024081222525900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm planning to go to the north next to see what else I can do. So, let's go back to Montenevera for start.

2024081222532100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This place isn't any less creepy than I remembered. Let's just leave and head even further down northwards.
 
2024081321154900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I flew back to the North Province, and I saw something peculiar far in the distance.

2024081321161200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

But before that, let's take a look at these Ralts gathering around this Gardevoir.

2024081321163600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This looks like a great onsen in the middle of a frosty mountain. What can go wrong?

2024081321165800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, I found this onsen first. You'll have to fight me if you want to take a bath, too.

2024081321172000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh crap, I mean, I'm really sorry and you have all the rights to take a bath here. I'll leave, ok.

2024081321172400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321172900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh no, the Primeape got really angry and unleashed its rage by punching Orecchiette really hard. Ouch.

2024081321173100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321173300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh come on, Orecchiette. This is not the time to miss your Zen Headbutt.

2024081321173700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321174200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Goodbye, Orecchiette. It's my fault for picking a fight with this angry monkey. Such a toxic behavior, right?

2024081321182400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's see if Cavatelli can cool Primeape with his own burning flames!

2024081321182700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I haven't even done anything to you! Why are you so angry?

2024081321183000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321183500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Primeape got so overheated it burned itself. That's why you gotta take some ESP exercises to release your emotions.

2024081321185500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321185700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of emotions, it's now time to shock Primeape with some Psyshock actions.

2024081321191200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Cavatelli broke Primeape's Tera Crystal, and apparently Primeape really liked it. We'll give it an encore, then.

2024081321192100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm the ultimate winner! I got to enjoy this onsen all by myself!

2024081321214000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321214100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Do you think using High Jump Kick against a Judo artist is a little rude? I mean, Orecchiette is probably better at kicking than Lucario.

2024081321233000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ew. Actually ew. Please don't.

2024081321235900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's forget about what he said and just focus on the battle.

2024081321242700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Just in case things go badly, I need some Reflect screen to protect myself.

2024081321243300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Mabosstiff went for the crunch. You know Pappardelle is no longer an egg, so don't even try.

2024081321243900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321244200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

There aren't too much Pappardelle can do, so she just screams at the top of her lung.

2024081321245200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

She's also stuck with using Uproar. It's too late to change our strategies now!

2024081321245600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Too bad Pappardelle's Reflect wasn't enough to protect herself.

2024081321251700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This is Orecchiette's showtime then. Let's give this dog a Fire Punch to warm it up.

2024081321253400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321254000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

(The creepy dude has a Vaporeon? Actually ew. Wtf.)

2024081321255500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Weavile's next, and it's making me feel uncomfortable. You can say I'm getting pressured.

2024081321260200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321260400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, Weavile is just another prey for Orecchiette's Fire Punch. How about that?

2024081321261600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yes, it is a no. Now please move on.

2024081321302000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This cave looks like a great place for an afternoon tea party. We can take a look at the Pokemon center while enjoying a sandwich.

2024081321302300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Poison Jab? Please keep that away from my sandwiches, thank you.

2024081321304600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I've finally reached another Pokemon center! I guess this one is just built in the middle of nowhere.

2024081321310700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hm, that looks like a Team Star base to me. I guess I might as well tackle that down while I'm here.

2024081321311800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Excuse me, is this a Dynamaxed white mochi, or is this a giant floating face?

2024081321313700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Imagine fighting an evil floating face and it just blows cold air at your Pokemon. I can't say I enjoy the experience.

2024081321322300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This place is chilly, and I think Spirali's Thick Fat will come in handy. Probably not against this Flamigo, though.

2024081321340000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm glad I picked up an Overheat TM in this ruin. Might be helpful for our potluck party later tonight.

2024081321342400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321342500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

My First Impression of Lokix is that I hate it. Please burn it with fire.

2024081321344800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321344900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

My second impression of Lokix is that I still hate it. Thank you Cavatelli for burning it with Heat Wave.

2024081321354400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Orecchiette is having a field day with all these Cetoddle and Cetitan. I didn't he likes playing in the snow so much.

2024081321355800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hooray for all the Cetoddle Grease we obtained ... ?
 
2024081321354400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I found a Pokemon Center in the middle of the snowy hills. It's getting warmer, though.

2024081321362300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321362600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I ran into Clive, who reminded me on my progress of Operation Starfall. We just needed to clear two more bases.

2024081321363500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The more I think about it, the more I think Cassiopeia is suspicious. I just get this hunch I can't explain.

2024081321364500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

It seems like Clive has a similar thought as well. I'm sure Operation Starfall isn't as simple as Cassiopeia makes it sound like.

2024081321364900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

At least Clive confirmed there's a Team Star nearby, and that'll probably be what I'm doing next.

2024081321381800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on, did this trainer just call Lotty a beauty? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.

2024081321385100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Excuse me, did you just call me an ugly pile of junk? I can't stand THAT!

2024081321390600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I'll forgive you, 'cause you're using a Gothitelle. I can't blame a fellow Psychic-type trainer.

2024081321394200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Is Gothitelle so calm because it has already envisioned this future? Mind blown.

2024081321402900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Woah, I wasn't expecting to see a wild Espeon! These things aren't very common at all!

2024081321403800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, darling, where're you going? That's a dead end right there!

2024081321404500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hm, darling, I know that you don't wanna see me, but it's getting dangerous for you.

2024081321410000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know, maybe I'll just leave you alone. I'll just play with Casunziei.

2024081321412100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

(And they say Pokemon games aren't realistic.)

2024081321413100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Another Medicham trainer? This Pokemon is so popular in Paldea!

2024081321413800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321414000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's fight Psychic with Psychic by using Zen Headbutt on Medicham!

2024081321414100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Medicham flinched from Orecchiette's psychic power. I guess it wasn't a real psychic, after all.

2024081321414700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Orecchiette will always be the supreme Medicham. There's no doubt about it.

2024081321432700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hm. I can really go for some scrambled eggs right now.

2024081321441500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh my lord! This is one strong Wigglytuff right here! Pappardelle, can you handle this?

2024081321442800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I guess not. I'm sure Campy won't mind fighting a Wigglytuff though.

2024081321443100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wigglytuff's Double-Edge won't work well on Campy! Its body doesn't even have edges!

2024081321444000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321444400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Charm? Campy, you aren't supposed to have emotions, so why are you affected by that?

2024081321444600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321445100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campy shot some Confuse Ray at Wigglytuff. This battle hasn't been very productive so far.

2024081321451100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321451300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Campy's Gyro Ball didn't work very well against the pink fluffy ball. I guess that Charm was quite effective, huh.

2024081321452800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know who else doesn't believe in fairy tales? Cavatelli. He only likes war stories.

2024081321453600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wigglytuff's Double-Edge isn't something to mess around with, even though Cavatelli's so bulky with his armor on.

2024081321454300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321455000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

How about some Will-O-Wisp to burn this marshmallow? That's why you should never play with fire.

2024081321461100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321461200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's pump up the heat with some Heat Wave action. Be careful not to burn the flower patches though.

2024081321462400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321462700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wigglytuff then crumbled from its burn! I sometimes get too if I gobble something that's too hot.

2024081321464300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Kricketune's next? Lady, you sure have an interesting taste in music.

2024081321464500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, that's just another victim for Cavatelli's Heat Wave.

2024081321470100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, you have a Grumpig too? You should've told me that earlier. Maybe we could've become friends!

2024081321470600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321470700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hyper Voice? I didn't even know Grumpig can learn that! Is it like the main vocal of your band?

2024081321470900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321471400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Grumpig may have Thick Fat, but I'm sure it won't like getting burned by Will-O-Wisp too much.

2024081321474600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You can sing all day long if you like, but Campy doesn't even have ears for that.

2024081321480000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321480100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Instead, you must face the wrath of an angry bronze bell!

2024081321491200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pappardelle just learned Dazzling Gleam. Darling, I think you're fabulous enough even without it.
 
2024081321480000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time, I had a battle with a musician, and honestly, I did not picture Grumpig as a singer type of Pokemon.

2024081321493300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Jokes on you, I don't need to smell a mint to be lonely.

2024081321494700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know what they say. The world is your oyster. I'm pretty sure that means everything in the world tastes as great as oysters. Yum.

2024081321501700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Speaking of which, I can really go for some fried oyster right now. Maybe together with some udon noodles.

2024081321504200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321504300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

No, thanks. I already got some oysters for dinner, and I don't really eat sunfish.

2024081321511900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Last time I went to a Chinese restaurant, they told me a Clawitzer fried that rice. No way I'm believing that.

2024081321515400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This flower field is actually considered part of Glaseado Mountain, even though it is so much warmer here.

2024081321515700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Get that puff outta here! I'm allergic to pollen!

2024081321520900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And I don't even have any Pokemon that can shoot pollen puffs. Rotelle might be a bug, but he doesn't play with flowers.

2024081321591300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Excuse me, sir. I just had some sandwiches, and I don't plan to wrestle any time soon.

2024081321592500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321592600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Come on! Ravioli is also not into wrestling! She only likes eating competitions!

2024081321593000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081321593300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Let's cast some Twin Beams and move on with our lives. Wrestling is just not my forte.

2024081322012000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Yay! The best thing about Chansey is that they always share eggs with me!

2024081322012100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Wait! You meant to eat that egg all by yourself! Come on! Such a selfish Chansey!

2024081322025600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Larvesta? I don't like seeing bugs, and I definitely don't like seeing one that is covered in flames.

2024081322032100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081322032200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Ouch! Ravioli is usually the one doing the crunching, and she doesn't like getting her life drained by Leech Life!

2024081322035100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081322035300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, that's why Spirali always has some Power Gems ready. They are really handy against nasty bugs like Larvesta.

2024081322040900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You know, an eel is hundred times better than a burning larva. At least I can cook this one easily.

2024081322111200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Why would I want to whip up storm of leaves? Maybe it can be helpful if I want to feed Ravioli.

2024081322522300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Nothing left to do in this area. I think it's time for me to raid the base.

2024081322523500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

All I saw was this old man talking about some young master with a Team Star grunt.

2024081322524200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

The what squad now? Man, I miss the Cheddar Squad. That was a great name.

2024081322525100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081322525700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, Mr. Old Man here took me as an adversary of whoever the young master is. I suppose I am against anyone defending the base.

2024081322530300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And that would mean Mr. Old Man will be the one guarding the gate this time. Sure.

2024081322532700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I sent out Pappardelle to fight against ... Morgrem. That's just a little man.

2024081322533000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081322533200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Morgrem looks like an evil genie, so I figure our Psychic-type moves won't work on it. Dazzling Gleam, however, will be wonderful.

2024081322533500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081322533600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm right. Morgrem then hit Pappardelle with Dark Pulse. That hurts so much!

2024081322534200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pappardelle is looking extra dazzling today, and that's enough to blind Morgrem to death.

2024081322542100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hold on, you have a Hattrem, too? Awwww. Now I can't go too aggressive.

2024081322542800-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pappardelle bent the shadow realm with the real dimensions so strongly that the world is looking fuzzy.

2024081322543000-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, I have raised a Hattrem, so I know at the bottom of my heart what it is weak to.

2024081322543400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Pappardelle got knocked out by Dazzling Gleam. Oh the karma.

2024081322550200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hattrem is now using Calm Mind! I know how dangerous that is, and I must stop it before it goes crazy.

2024081322551200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081322551300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

You can't see his face, but Rotelle is making an annoying Bug Buzz and removed Hattrem. I must say, I also dislike that move a lot.

2024081322553300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

So, from what I'm gathering, the actual boss hiding in this base is someone named Ortega, who is rich enough to hire this old dude.

2024081322554100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

And this old dude used to be the academy director? Why did he suddenly become the underling of a Team Star boss then?

2024081322554600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Well, the whole squad is now alerted of my presence. And if the boss is a rich kid, I might be in some deep shits.

2024081322562300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Of course, Cassiopeia phoned me at the right time and told me more about the Fairy crew residing here.

2024081322563100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081322563600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

They also told me something about this Ortega individual, and apparently, he is quite short-tempered.

2024081322565500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

I'm not quite ready for the raid yet. Let's go around and do some other things.
 
2024081323295400-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Encore! That's a move I'd like to use on chefs who can cook good food!

2024081323301600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

(I know I don't make the funniest content, but you don't have to say that D: )

2024081323302100-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Um, I'm not really the one to handle your love affairs, so please just leave me alone.

2024081323304200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Guys, I think Spirali is a real psychic. He's floating on water!

2024081323305300-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081323305600-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

This girl even brought a Scovillain for her picnic. That's the second time today I need some Power Gems on Spirali.

2024081323305900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Scovillain might not be a friendly Pokemon, but it has two peppers as head. It can't be that villainous, right?

2024081323310200-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg
2024081323310700-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Hey, Spirali was ready for this fight! He gobbled on his Oran Berry before he starts fighting again!

2024081323313500-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Good job, Rotelle! He has rolled his psychic ball for so long, and finally he has attained the highest level of psychic.

2024081323314900-B6CE40797459B0890BF7CEF68A4CE587.jpg

Oh, a Hatterene! Just a few minutes ago, I was battling a Hattrem, and now there's a Hatterene? What are the odds?
