Pokemon Pearl - Through the fog to Celestic Town

I visited the Hearthome Gym, and found that the Gym Leader was STILL gone. I decided to fly back to Pastoria City and check out the Great Marsh, and managed to catch a Skorupi (Poison/Bug, Male, Lv. 22), then I flew over to the Valley Windworks and caught myself a Drifloon (Ghost/Flying, Male, Lv. 22). I also flew back to Jubilife City to the Poketch Company and got the Marking Map Poketch App. I then decided to head back to Solaceon Town to try using that medicine on the Psyduck blocking the path on Route 210.

I ran into a couple Trainers in a side path to get an item, one a Double Battle won easily enough, and another a single battle also won easily. I grabbed the item, a Great Ball, and then hopped off a ledge to get to the Psyduck. I used the Secret Potion on them, and they were cured of their headaches, then they wandered north together. Right after the Psyduck left, Cynthia came up to me, happy that I used the Secret Potion on them. Cyinthia asked me to deliver an Old Charm to her grandmother in Celestic Town, to which I agreed. She warned me about her grandmother's bossy attitude before she left.

I continued north, getting into a wild Pokemon battle with Lucius, who grew to Level 31, and then kept on going. I soon encountered one of the Ninja Trio, and got into a battle. I sent out Alexander to fight his Geodude. Karate Chop knocked out Geodude, and Alexander grew to Level 31, and I switched out for Maria to fight another Geodude. Water Pulse knocked out Geodude instantly, and another Geodude was sent out only to be knocked out by another Water Pulse, and thus the battle was won.

I continued north, grabbing a Hyper Potion along the way, then an Ultra Ball in some grass, and then I encountered a thick fog. I don't have any of my Pokemon set with Defog, because it seems like it would generally be useless in battle, so I just continued through. I soon encountered the second of the Ninja Trio. Zubat was sent out, and I sent out Maria to fight it, missing a Water Pulse but getting hit for minor damage by Wing Attack. Maria used a Body Slam for a one-hit KO, then another Zubat was sent out. I kept Maria in the fight, and had her use another Body Slam, which took the second Zubat out too. Next up was Golbat, and I kept Maria going. Maria got hit by Wing Attack for minor damage, and then her Body Slam missed. Golbat used Confuse Ray on Maria, and she hurt herself in her confusion. Golbat tried using Wing Attack, but missed, then Maria snapped out of her confusion, but her Body Slam missed too. Body Slam hit Golbat for great damage, while it's Wing Attack missed, then Maria was hit with another Confuse Ray but managed to knock out Golbat with Water Pulse! Finally a Skorupi was sent out, and Maria hurt herself in her confusion, and Skorupi used Accupressure to up it's attack. Maria managed to attack with Mud Bomb, but it missed, and so did Skorupi's attack too. Maria snapped out of confusion and hit Skorupi with Mud Bomb for massive damage, bringing Skorupi into the red, then it countered for great damage and brought Maria into the red. Maria missed with Water Pulse, and got hit by Leer, but she tried again and won the battle. Maria grew to Level 31, and I healed her up before continuing west.

I went west, because I couldn't go further north on that road, and came across an Ace Trainer. She sent out Ponyta, and I sent out Maria again. Maria got hit by Fire Spin which did minimal damage, but her Water Pulse missed. Ponyta was switched out for Grotle, and Maria's Water Pulse missed, before I switched to Marcus. Marcus' Intimidate cut Grotle's attack, and it hit Marcus with Mega Drain for minimal damage. Marcus hit Grotle with Aerial Ace for massive, super effective damage, but Grotle clung onto the red. Marcus hit it with Wing Attack to finish it off, then Ponyta was brought out again. Marcus used Fly, and flew up high, so Ponyta's Fire Spin missed, then it was hit by Fly for an instant knock out! The battle was won, and I continued on my way.

I came across a pair of Ace Trainers, and we got into a Double Battle. I fought them, they sent out a Raichu and a Gyarados, and I sent out Marcus and Lucius. Both pairs were weakened by Intimidate from the other, but I won the battle easily, and Marcus grew to Level 31. I healed up Lucius before going up some stairs, and then further west. I fought another Ace Trainer, Annabelle fought all three of his Pokemon and came out victorious. I went west through a path for bikes only, and came across the third member of the Ninja Trio. He sent out Dustox, and I sent out Annabelle. Dustox tried to use Psybeam, but missed, and then Annabelle hit it with Bite for good damage. Dustox used Psybeam for some good damage, then Annabelle countered with Cut for good damage. Annabelle tried to finish it with bite, but missed, then got hit by Whirlwind and afterward I switched her out with Maximus. I had Maximus use Spark to finish off Dustox and win the battle. Annabelle grew to Level 32, and learned Leech Seed in place of Bite. After the battle finished, Annabelle evolved into her final form, Torterra! After evolving, she wanted to learn the move Earthquake, and I decided to make her forget Razor Leaf to use it.

I healed Annabelle, I tried to find my way through the fog. I went south from where I fought the last of the Ninja Trio, and found TM30 (Shadow Ball). I pocketed the TM, then went back a ways. I fought another Trainer, beat him easily, and kept looking for a way through. I came across another ninja (FOURTH of the Ninja Trio? I don't think someone at Game Freak learned how to count...) and beat him down, snagging the Smoke Ball just past him before going further. Another Trainer, another battle won, and Maximus grew to Level 32. I healed Maximus, and started to wonder if I was EVER going to find my way through to Celestic Town.

I fought yet ANOTHER Trainer (how many assholes are in this fucking fog?) and took him out, though my attacks were running out of PP count at this point! Alexander grew to Level 32, and learned Submission in place of Karate Chop, and then I kept on going. Finally, FINALLY after fighting SO many trainers, I made it to Celestic Town!

First thing's first, heal my Pokemon, and then find Cynthia's grandmother!
