Pokemon Pearl - Path to Pastoria City

After healing my Pokemon, I started south toward Route 214. Just when I started down the road, I came across a Trainer, and we got into a fight. I sent out Maria against Ghastly, and it used Curse against Maria and sealed it's own fate by cutting it's health in half, so Water Pulse took it out easily. Maria got hurt by the Curse before Misdreavus was sent out, and I switched to Annabelle. Misdreavus used Mean Look to keep Annabelle in the fight, and then Razor Leaf did good damage against it. Astonish hit Annabelle for little damage, and she countered with Razor Leaf to knock it out, then grew to Level 27. Annabelle also learned Mega Drain in place of Absorb. I sent out Maria against Kadabra, knowing that Curse would be lifted. Water Pulse hit Kadabra for some damage, and then it countered with Confusion to knock out Maria. I then sent out Maximus who used Spark to knock it out easily, and he grew to Level 27 and won the battle.

I went back to the city since I was so close and healed up my team (and also bought healing items), then went back on Route 214. I did some gardening with Berries a short distance east, then I visited a little cave to the west and got TM28 (Dig) before I continued south. I came across another Trainer, he sent out Goldeen and I sent out Alexander. Goldeen used Flail for little damage, and then Vital Throw did great damage, yet Goldeen barely hung on. Another Flail hit Alexander for good damage, and then Rock Smash knocked out Goldeen. Another Goldeen was sent out, again using Flail for little damage, but then Alexander countered with Revenge to knock it out in one hit. Another Goldeen with Flail, another counter with Revenge, and another one-hit KO for victory, and Alexander grew to Level 27.

Just a bit further south and then I came across yet another Trainer. I sent out Maria, and he sent out Ponyta, and Water Pulse did great damage to bring it to the red. Ponyta countered with Ember, it was ineffective, but used a critical Stomp for good damage in the next turn and made Maria flinch, but then Maria's Quick Claw caused her Water Pulse to fire off first and knock out Ponyta. Another Ponyta was sent out using Ember, it was ineffective and was countered by a super effective Water Pulse which took it out in one hit. Another Ponyta was sent out with Ember, another counter with Water Pulse did great damage, and then a final Water Pulse took it out for the win. Maria grew to Level 27 and I healed her up afterwards.

I came across a few more Trainers, and they went down easily enough. Lucius grew to Level 27 and Annabelle grew to Level 28 between the Trainers and wild Pokemon battles. As I continued south, I found several items, and also came across Hotel Grand Lake. I found someone who was missing her Suite Key and locked out of her room, and after some looking I found it and returned it to her and got a Lava Cookie for my trouble. I went through the various rooms and talked to the people that were enjoying a stay at the hotel, and I received TM92 (Trick Room) from a group of traveling performers.

While I was there, I visited the Seven Stars Restaurant. In the restaurant there were some rich Trainers wanting to fight, and I got into a few Double Battles. It was nice, because they each asked if I wanted to battle, instead of just going into a fight. Through all those battles, Lucius, Maximus, Maria, and Alexander all grew to Level 28, and Alexander evolved into Machoke! I also got lots of cash from those diners, and then continued west.

I came across Dr. Footstep's House, where a man lived who said he could tell much about a Pokemon by how they walked. I let him watch Annabelle walk, and he said that we showed that Pokemon and People could be friends, and gave her the Footstep Ribbon. I continued on through, and encountered a couple more Trainers, but there's already too many battles to make this post a reasonable length if I described each one. I won those battles, and Annabelle grew to Level 28.

I finally made it to Pastoria City, and got my Pokemon healed up before I'd go out exploring.
