Pokemon Pearl - Onward to Veilstone City!

Before continuing on my way, I went and dropped a Pokemon off at the Pokemon Day Care, my I-shaped Unown, to see how well it would grow, as well as to get the Poketch App Day-Care Checker, which allows me to keep track of my Pokemon in the Day Care. I was thinking about just putting it in to get the Poketch App, but then I realized that with it only being able to use Hidden Power, it would be extremely hard to train it otherwise.

I went north to Route 210, an area with very tall grass I can't ride my bike through. I did some gardening with Berries just in the tall grass, and then I encountered a Trainer. He sent out an Aipom, and I sent out Alexander. Aipom used Baton Pass to switch out with Girafarig, and Alexander used Revenge against it for great damage. Karate Chop went ahead and knocked it out, then Psyduck was sent out. Psyduck tried to use Disable, but it failed, and Revenge did great damage against it. Alexander used a Karate Chop to knock it out before it could use another attack. Aipom came out again, and used Tickle against Alexander, and he countered with Karate Chop. Alexander got hit with Astonish for minimal damage, then used Seismic Toss to finish it off and then grew to Level 25. Alexander also learned Vital Throw in place of Seismic Toss.

I went up a hill nearby and talked to another Trainer who gave me TM51 (Roost), a Flying Type move to heal half a Flying Pokemon's HP. I got off the hill and back on the main path, right into a Double Battle. The Belle and Pa sent out Stunky and Glameow, and I sent out Lucius and Maximus. Lucius used Stomp against Glameow for good damage, then Maximus used Spark against Stunky for a one-hit KO! Glameow tried using Hypnosis, but missed, and then got hit with Ember for the knock out.

I went further ahead and came across a Rookie Breeder who wanted to fight, and I sent out Lucius against her Cleffa. Lucius used Stomp to bring it to the red, but then it used Sing to put Lucius to sleep. I switched out for Maximus, but then he got confused and hurt himself, and then got hit by Sing to get put to sleep like Lucius. I found that I had one Awakening item, and used it on Maximus to bring him out of it, and fortunately Cleffa missed another Sing. Maximus was still confused, and again hurt himself in his confusion. He got hit by Magical Leaf, and then snapped out of confusion to Bite Cleffa and take it out. The Breeder sent out Clefairy, and I sent out Marcus to fight. Marcus used Wing Attack to take out Clefairy in one shot, and then she sent out Happiny. I had Marcus use another Wing Attack for the win, and he grew to Level 25 with a LOT of experience.

I went further north and found a place called the Cafe' Cabin, which offered Moomoo Milk, and I bought one for the road. I talked to a waitress there and she wanted to fight, so I was dragged into another battle. I sent out Lucius against her Clefairy, forgetting that he was still asleep. He could do nothing but snore while Clefairy used Defense Curl. While still asleep, Clefairy used Minimize, then Follow Me, and Lucius was still snoring. Lucius woke up and used Ember against it for some damage. Lucius followed the attack up with Stomp for great damage, then another Ember to knock it out. I got out of there before anyone else wanted to fight.

I saw that north of the Cafe' Cabin were some Psyducks just standing in the path, not moving, so I had to continue east to Route 215. It was raining when I got there, so I switched to Maria in first position knowing that Lucius wouldn't have much luck in that rain. As I went through, I came across a Trainer who wanted to fight. He sent out Bronzor and I sent out Maria, who used Water Pulse for good damage. Another Water Pulse brought it to deep in the red, but Bronzor countered with Confuse Ray. Maria was confused, but managed to use Hidden Power to take it out. Next up was Shieldon, and Maria used Water Pulse for super effective damage, bringing it down to the red, and she finished it off with Hidden Power, which didn't manage to take it out. One more Water Pulse knocked out the Shieldon and won the battle.

I looked over my information on Bulbapedia and found that the Cafe' Cabin had a couple trainers with Pokemon I needed to encounter to fill out my Pokedex, so I went back in to take them out. Maria and Maximus grew to Level 25, and Annabelle grew to Level 26 after the battles with the two Collectors, then I continued through Route 215. I came across a fighter who gave me TM66 (Payback), then continued on my way east. I came across another Trainer who wanted to fight, a fighter with powerful Pokemon. I sent out Lucius against his Meditite, and used stomp for good damage, then it used Detect to protect itself. I had Lucius use another Stomp to get it to red, then he was hit by Hidden Power for minimal damage. Meditite used Detect to protect itself from Ember, but another shot from Ember took it out. He sent out Machop next, and Stomp did good damage against it, but it countered with a powerful Karate Chop. Lucius used another Stomp for good damage, but Machop used Revenge to knock out Lucius. I switched out for Marcus, and Wing Attack took it out. Another Meditite was sent out and another Wing Attack took it out easily for the win.

I used a Revive to revive Lucius, then grabbed a Fist Plate nearby, and gave it to Alexander before continuing on my way. I came across another Trainer with Croagunk, and fought him easily enough with Lucius. A couple Stomps took it out and won the battle. I then went up against a wild Kricketune with Lucius, and upon victory he grew to Level 25, and learned Fire Spin in place of Tail Whip. I came across yet another Trainer, and took out his team easily enough, and Marcus grew to Level 26. A short distance east I found TM34 (Shock Wave), a great Electric Type move which causes paralysis, before I went further through Route 215.

I came across a pair of Ace Trainers, and they sent out Monferno and Glameow, and I sent out Alexander and Maximus to fight them. Monferno used Mach Punch for some damage against Maximus, then Maximus used Spark against Glameow for great damage, and then Glameow used Hypnosis on Alexander before he could attack. I had Maximus use Spark against Monferno for a one-hit KO, then Glameow used Feint Attack against Maximus for further damage, and then Alexander woke up to use Rock Smash against Glameow for the knock out. They sent out Gyarados and Kadabra afterwards, and both got weakened by Gyarados' Intimidate ability. Alexander got hit by Confusion and was taken out in one hit, but I had Maximus use Spark against Gyarados to return the favor and knock it out. Maximus grew to Level 26, and I sent out Maria to replace Alexander. Kadabra used Miracle Eye, then Maximus used Bite for another one-hit KO. I revived Alexander and healed Maximus afterwards, and then I continued east and finally got to Veilstone City.

I'll get my Pokemon healed up, and then I'll start exploring this new city.
