Pokemon Pearl - Fuego Ironworks, Floaroma Meadow, and Pal Park

I started out going back to the Seven Stars Restaurant to get some quick cash and experience, and by the end of it Maria and Lucius grew to Level 34. With a few more wins under my belt and cash in the pocket, I Flew to Floaroma Town, and healed my Pokemon before I headed north to explore the Fuego Ironworks.

When I went inside, I found it to be a maze, filled with panels on the ground that would push me in whatever direction they pointed to. I knew I'd have a hell of a time trying to get through, glad to at least have Escape Rope with me, but wishing I had brought healing items too...

I came across a Worker named Dillan there who wanted to fight, and I sent out Alexander to fight his Machop. Machop used Submission for good damage, but Alexander countered with Revenge and knocked it out in one blow. Alexander grew to Level 34 after defeating the Machop, then prepared to fight Machoke. Machoke used Seismic Toss to do great damage, but Alexander countered with another Revenge, and took out Machoke in one blow too. The battle was won, and I continued on.

I switched my Pokemon around and activated my Dowsing Machine before I stepped on another few panels, and I found a Burn Heal. I soon came across another Worker, and got into another battle. I sent out Marcus, and he sent out Steelix. Marcus cut Steelix attack with Intimidate, then went high, avoiding it's Slam attack. Marcus hit it with Fly, but it was ineffective and did minimal damage, then he got hit by Dragon Breath for minor damage. I switched out to Alexander again, even being as injured as he was, and he got hit by Dragon Breath for minor damage and paralysis. Steelix hit Alexander with Slam for minor damage, then Alex hit it with Submission to take it out, but got injured in the attack and brought to the red. The battle was won, but Alexander couldn't continue fighting.

I kept going on, and I found a Fire Stone in a small area, before I encountered a small puzzle where three panels pushed toward a group of panels, and I had to figure out which would help me on my way. I looked closely at the panels, and decided to take my chance on the top panel. I made it to another Worker, but was able to double-back before battle to find a Rock Incense. I fought the Worker, who sent out Rapidash, and I sent out Marcus to fight it. Intimidate cut it's attack before the battle, then Marcus was hit with Ember which did good damage and caused a burn. Marcus hit Rapidash with Aerial Ace, but it did minor damage, and then Marcus was hurt by the burn. I switched out to Maria, knowing she'd take it out no problem. Maria was hit by Take Down for minor damage, and then hit Rapidash with Surf to knock it out and win the battle.

I moved forward and got pushed by another couple panels, and I made my way to the furnace, where I met Mr. Fuego, the owner of the Fuego Ironworks. He told me he tried to make the Ironworks run better with moving floor tiles, but no-one was happy about being made dizzy by the panels! He gave me a souvenir, another Fire Stone, and then I found TM35 (Flamethrower) in front of the furnace before finding my way outside.

I had Marcus fly us back to Floaroma Town to heal up, as well as to buy plenty of healing items for any situation as dangerous as the Fuego Ironworks were. I went back up the river, then went south of the Ironworks to find the northern part of Floaroma Meadow. With my Dowsing Machine, I managed to find a Revive, a Max Potion, a Potion, a Miracle Seed, a Full Heal, Honey, another Revive, a Leaf Stone, a Paralyze Heal, and finally a Hyper Potion. I looked around a bit longer, then decided that I found everything I could, before I jumped off the small ledge south and headed right back into Floaroma Town.

I decided to keep going with the directions I was getting from Bulbapedia, and had Marcus Fly me to Sandgem Town. I headed south to Sandgem Beach, and used Surf to travel through Route 219 and Route 220. Before I went through it, I kept on Route 219 a bit to fish, and caught a Finneon (Water, Female, Lv. 15) and battled a couple Trainers. Marcus grew to Level 34, and then evolved into Staraptor, after which he also learned Close Combat in place of Wing Attack.

I went south on Route 220 and encountered several Trainers, and Annabelle grew to Level 34. I went past them and found a Splash Plate, which I pocketed along with an Ether before continuing on. I went east through the middle path, and came across another couple Trainers. I defeated them easily enough, and Annabelle grew to Level 35. I finally made it to land, and found a Protein and Honey as I made my way east to find Pal Park.

I had to fight a Collector on my way over there, but finally I made it to Pal Park, only to find that it was still under construction. I'm sure it will remain that way until I finally have the National Pokedex too...  I fought an Ace Trainer just south of Pal Park, and took her out easily. Maximus grew to Level 35 and learned Crunch in place of Bite. I also went through the grass to find TM81 (X-Scissor), and to fight another Ace Trainer. After beating the Trainer, Alexander grew to Level 35 and then I flew off to Jubilife City to heal up and continue my adventure.
