Pokemon Pearl - Exploring Route 209

Before continuing east, I went back to grab the day's Berry from the Berry Master, did some gardening with four Berry Spots next to the house, and then went south to talk to someone I had assumed was a Trainer wanting a fight, but amazingly enough he just gave me an Odd Keystone!

I finally started east on Route 209, and I got into a battle with a Pokemon Breeder. It went quickly enough, with no problems, and I came out victorious. I went into the grass nearby for new Pokemon and Maximus grew to Level 23 in a wild battle. I continued looking for new Pokemon, and in the middle of wild Pokemon battles Annabelle grew to Level 24. I found a wild Chansey, and sent out Maximus, but his Bite was critical and took it out in one hit, leaving me frustrated after almost two dozen encounters against wild Bibarel and Staravia. I found and caught a wild Bonsly (Rock, Female, Lv. 16) and then after encountering a few dozen more Pokemon I WASN'T looking for, decided to just continue on. I was on my way out of the tall grass, when my last encounter was against, you guessed it, a wild Chansey (Normal, Female, Lv. 16), and after a couple Bites and several Pokeballs, I FINALLY caught it.

I went back to the city to heal my Pokemon and replace the Pokeballs I used to catch the Chansey, then I went through Route 209. I received a Good Rod from a fisherman there, and beyond him were a couple little girls, Twins Emma and Lil, who pulled me into a Double Battle. They sent out Mime Jr. and Bonsly, and I sent out Maximus and Maria. Maximus used Spark and took out the Mime Jr. and also grew to Level 24, and a Water Pulse from Maria took out the Bonsly.

I went further through Route 209 and found what I thought was a Pikachu, but it turned out to be a Poke Kid. She sent out Pikachu, and I sent out Maria, but I switched out for Alexander. Pikachu used a Quick Attack which didn't do much, and then Alexander got Revenge and took out the Pikachu. Just past the girl was an X Accuracy on a short side path, and then I continued on to find another Trainer, a Pokemon Breeder named Jennifer. She first sent out Mime Jr. and I sent out Maria. Maria used a Water Pulse, and then a Mud Bomb missed, but Mime Jr. used Encore and sealed it's doom when Maria was forced to use Mud Bomb again to full effect. Next up was Budew, and Encore kept Maria using Mud Bomb, which did some decent damage, but then Budew used Stun Spore to Paralyze Maria. Maria kept using Mud Bomb and took out Budew, and then Cleffa was sent out. Cleffa used an effective Magical Leaf, and Maria used another Mud Bomb. Maria's Quick Claw caused her to use Mud Bomb first, but then a Sweet Kiss from Cleffa made her confused. Maria hurt herself in her confusion, and Cleffa got hit with another Magical Leaf, but finally she snapped out of Encore and used Water Pulse for the win.

I headed back to Hearthome City to heal my Pokemon, then continued through Route 209. I saw the rock formation where I needed to place the Odd Keystone, but I decided against putting it inside until I have the ability to revive it into a Spiritomb. I went into a small pit past the Pokemon Breeder and found a Small Mushroom, then went north. I found an Awakening before heading up a hill with the Bike, and got into another battle. The Trainer, Cowgirl Shelly, had a bunch of Bidoofs, and I first sent out Maria who grew to Level 24, then I sent out Alexander to fight the rest.

I moved on, finding TM47 (Steel Wing), before I came across a building called the Lost Tower. I think I'll go explore the place before I continue on to Solaceon Town.
