New day! Time to go to Route 207! I find and a Machop but he wouldn't stay in the pokeball so now I don't get him.

On my way to Eterna City, I find Professor Rowan and Dawn getting accosted by some freaks with bowl cuts. Dawn and I join forces and beat them up.

I make it to Valley Windworks and find a Shellos! Take that Jaiden Animations! I catch her and name her Neopolitan. While training tho, I found a Buizel and became so sad. I adore Buizel and want to get one so badly so the fact I got a Shellos instead is disappointing.

What? Bastrid is evolving! Bastrid is now a Luxio!

Anyway, time to fight this Team Galatic Grunt so I can enter this building. I beat him and then he locks me out of the building... fun.

I go to Floaroma Meadow where these two Galactic Grunts are harassing an old man so Neopolitan and Bastrid work together and beat their pokemon with ease. The old man gives me honey and so I slather that crap on a tree and leave. Hopefully I can remember to come get that encounter.

Hi yeah I slept since that last sentence so it's time for that encounter! It's a male combee! This is completely worthless!

I enter Valley Windworks and defeat the Team Galatic grunts and arrive at Commander Mars. I know she has a strong pokemon so I hope i'm prepared.

Mars starts with her Zubat and I start with Shoelaces. All my pokemon are level 20 so the Zubat is taken out with confusion and gust. Next is her Purugly and I switch to Jesus Crig who plucks the berry off the pokemon and shakes off a fake out thanks to his ability.  Purugly uses scratch but Jesus Crig tanks the hit and returns the favor with a crit wing attack!

BAM! THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE! YOU SHOW 'EM, JESUS CRIG!

Team Galatic leaves after I absolutely demolished Mars and I also leave because I have other things to do. I head back to Route 205 and get my encounter. I am praying for a Buizel but I just keep getting Shellos so I gotta keep searching. YES BUIZEL BABY FINALLY YES.

His name is Chunch Bag. I caught him and he is my favorite omg I love him so much.

I enter Eterna Forest and Cheryl decides to follow me. Who is Cheryl? No idea!  But after she helped me defeat some bug catchers, Jesus Crig evolved into a Golbat! I also caught a Buneary and named her Beanie BB.

I finish training and decide to challenge the gym. While battling the gym trainers, Jesus Crig evolves into a Crobat! We are now unstoppable!

Time to fight Gardenia!

First is her Turtwig while I start with Jesus Crig who he kills the Turtwig with a single wing attack. Cherim is next and it too dies to wing attack from Jesus Crig. Finally is Roserade, her ace pokemon. I use pluck to take the sitrus berry but the pluck also kills the Roserade  so that's how I got the Forest Badge! This was a good step forward.
