Seeing that I was in possession of Palkia, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, with 7 Gym Badges in my collection, and having just beaten Team Galactic for the last time, I decided to take a small break and try to fill up my collection of Pokemon.
I went back to the Solaceon Ruins and catch some more Unown to open up the Maniac Tunnel on Route 214, so I could increase my odds of catching another Pokemon. I don't really feel the need to get all 28 (alphabet and ?/! marks) seeing as they're all the same Pokemon otherwise, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to increase my collection. Using most of the extra Quick Balls I bought for Mesprit, I caught A, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, T, U, V, and W, and I still had the I-shaped Unown at the Daycare Center. Seeing how close I was to finishing my collection of Unown, I decided to grab some extra Quick Balls and grab the rest, finding B, S, Y, and Z, but X was a challenge to find. After about an hour of searching, I FINALLY captured X!
Before looking for the tunnel being dug by that Ruin Maniac, I went over to the Seven Stars Restaurant and battle the trainers there for some good, quick cash, and Alexander, Annabelle, and Maria all grew to Level 43! After that I healed my Pokemon and went over to Veilstone City, then went south on Route 214 to find the Maniac Tunnel. I went to the end of the tunnel and into an otherwise-inaccessible part of the Solaceon Ruins and caught both ! and ?, then I had to take a while going back and forth before I finally found and caught Hippopotas (Ground, Female, Lv. 22) with a Quick Ball.
I decided to head back to Solaceon Town to grab my I-shaped Unown and put it back in storage after growing to Level 40. While I was at the Pokemon Center PC, I decided to go ahead and arrange the Unown alphabetically, just because I preferred them being sorted out.
After all that, I went through my Pokedex to figure out what Pokemon I've seen that I haven't caught yet, and realized I could go to Route 218 by Canalave City and grab a Pokemon I had missed before. I caught Glameow (Normal, Male, Lv. 29), and noticed a Honey Tree nearby. I decided to try my luck at using Honey Trees in easy locations to find some rare Pokemon.
I lathered the Honey Tree at Route 218, then went to Floaroma Town to lather that tree too, as well as the one at the Valley Windworks and another nearby on the south end of Route 205. I continued over to Eterna City to lather the tree at the north end of Route 205, then I went to Veilstone and headed south on Route 214, near Lake Valor, and lathered that tree too. I decided to save my game and wait a few hours to find out what would come of all my hard work.
Over 6 hours later, I came back to the game, and I went south of Veilstone City to find the Honey Tree shaking. I went up to it and was disappointed to find a Wurmple. I escaped and went to check on the other trees. The northern tree on Route 205 held a Burmy (Bug, Female, Lv. 9) and caught it with a Net Ball. Burmy is an interesting species of Pokemon, because of two factors; One, they can have one of three different coverings depending on where they fought, leading to their evolution being one of three different Type combinations with Bug, leading up to factor two, where females evolve to be those combo types while males evolve into moth-like creatures. I'll need to breed a few females and one male to get myself all the different types!
I went over to Floaroma Town next, and the tree in the meadow just held a wurmple, and so did the one at the Valley Windworks, and the one on the southern part of Route 205 held a Cascoon. I went to the tree on Route 218, and found a Combee (Bug/Flying, Male, Lv. 6) and caught it with a Quick Ball. Combee is another interesting type because the males stay as Combee, while the females can evolve into Vespiqueen!
I decided to continue working to build up my Pokemon collection by fishing at Pastoria City for a Remoraid (Water, Male, Lv. 15) and caught one successfully. I decided to call it quits on fishing after that, since the others were all previously caught in Sapphire or coming up soon.
Finally, I went over to Route 209 and placed my Odd Keystone in the Hallowed Tower, then I used a trick with another DS and copy of Pearl to talk to another profile 32 times and awaken Spiritomb (Ghost/Dark, Male, Lv. 25) who I fought against with Maria. One Water Pulse brought it to the yellow, then one Ultra Ball caught it.
After all that, I decided to call it a day, determined to continue my adventure to get my 8th Gym Badge and then head to the Elite Four!
