I went to the Poke' Mart to stock up on healing items, and then I headed west to Route 212. I encountered my first Trainer along the way, and I sent out Marcus to fight, and she sent out Luxio. I switched over to Alexander because of Marcus' Type weakness to Electric attacks. Alexander used Vital Throw, and it was a critical hit that took out Luxio in one go. Buizel was sent out next, and I kept Alexander in the fight. The Buizel used Swift for minor damage, then Alexander countered with a powerful Karate Chop for the win.
I continued on, and found TM06 (Toxic) along the way. I got into another battle with a Trainer, and I sent out Marcus to fight her Goldeen, and Intimidate cut it's attack. I had Marcus use Aerial Ace to take it out easily before it could do anything, and Marcus grew to level 30. Next up was Buizel, and I sent out Alexander. Buizel used a Quick Attack for little damage, and then Alexander used Vital Throw to knock it out and win the battle. Alexander also grew to Level 30 upon victory.
Right next to the Trainer I beat was a house with a sign out front saying that Shards were wanted, in payment for TMs. I went in with the bunch of shards I had, wondering what I could get my hands on. I talked to one of the women in there, and she said she would hand over a TM if I gave her 10 similar-colored shards. I didn't have 10 of any shard, and so left and continued on my way.
I came across some fishermen, and while I was wary of going into elective battles when I didn't know how much further I had to go, I decided I may as well take them on and build up my Pokedex. I fought two of them, and beat them easily enough. In those battles, Annabelle grew to level 31, and Lucius grew to Level 30.
I continued on my way, fought another Trainer, and sent out Maria against his Geodude. Maria used Water Pulse to knock it out, and another Geodude was brought out to suffer the same fate. A third Geodude was sent out, and it too was taken out by Water Pulse. I won the battle, and Maria grew to Level 30, then she evolved into Gastrodon!
Going further down the path I encountered a pair of Trainers, and we got into a Double Battle. The Pokemon Rangers sent out Aipom and Prinplup, and I sent out Maximus and Alexander. I had Maximus use Spark on Prinplup for an instant knock-out, and then Aipom attacked Alexander with Fury Swipes for minimal damage. Alexander hit Aipom with Vital Throw for an instant knock-out, and then the Rangers sent out Marill and another Prinplup. I had Maximus use Spark against Marill, which knocked it out, then Prinplup used Peck for effective, but minor damage against Alexander, then Alexander countered with Vital Throw for the win. Maximus grew to Level 31 upon victory, and I continued on my way.
Finally I made my way to the Pokemon Mansion, and fought another Trainer nearby. There were plenty of Trainers outside but avoided them for now. I found TM11 (Sunny Day) nearby, before I headed inside. I talked to a few of the Maids in the house, and got a Soothe Bell from one of them, and also got a Great Ball in one room. I talked to Mr. Backlot in his office, and found TM87 (Swagger), but he didn't say anything about any particular special Pokemon in his Trophy Garden. I wonder if he'll brag later?
I decided to check out the Trophy Garden, and found a Pichu and Pikachu, but my Pokemon were too powerful and knocked them out. I decided to just head back to the city, heal my Pokemon, and see if the Hearthome Gym is open.
