Pokemon Pearl - The road to Sunyshore City

Started off checking out the other trees I lathered with Honey, and found an Aipom (Normal, Female, Lv. 8) who I caught with several Ultra Balls (she was too weak to try to weaken without being knocked out) before moving on. I Flew to Pastoria City, then went east toward Hotel Grand Lake. I decided to stop by the Seven Stars Restaurant to do some battling, and through it all Marcus grew to Level 43, while Annabelle grew to Level 44.

I healed my Pokemon at the hotel and then went east on Route 222, and came across a Rich Boy named Trey, who was looking for a fight. He sent out Luxio, and I sent out Maria, who used a Mud Bomb for massive damage that knocked Luxio out instantly and won the battle. I continued east past Trey and snagged some Berries and a Honey, before I went further on.

I came across another Trainer, and I sent out Maria against her Lopunny. Lopunny used Agility to increase it's speed, then Maria hit it with Body Slam for great damage. Lopunny used Charm next to lower Maria's attack, then she countered with Surf for massive damage, bringing it to the red. Lopunny used Dizzy Punch against Maria for good damage, then Maria finished it off with Water Pulse to win the battle.

I continued further east, and came across another Trainer who pondered why Trainers only threw Pokeballs, and gave me TM56 (Fling) which allows a Pokemon to hurl whatever item it's holding at the foe. It would affect the foe differently depending on what was being held, and of course would fail if the Pokemon wasn't holding anything.

I went past him and went further east, and was spotted by a Sailor and a Tuber, who sent out Remoraid and Mantyke, while I sent out Maria and Lucius. Maria's Quick Claw allowed her to use Body Slam first on Mantyke for massive damage, and made it paralyzed, then Lucius used Megahorn against Remoraid for massive damage, knocking it out instantly, and then Mantyke sprang up into the air. I had Lucius try Flamethrower, but it missed, then Maria's Body Slam missed too, then Lucius was hit by Bounce for minor damage and was paralyzed. Maria used Body Slam for great damage, knocking out Mantyke and ending the battle.

I used Paralyze Heal on Lucius, then went down to the beach to inspect a couple houses there. The first had a sign that said "Pokemon Size Contest" and I went inside. The man inside, a Fisherman, told me he had a dream that a Trainer would bring him a giant Remoraid, and I assumed I needed to bring over one for him to inspect. I decided not to bother for now (seeing as I wasn't near a Pokemon Center anyway) and checked out the next house.

The other house on the beach was the "Pikachu Fan Club" which apparently is big on Pikachu. I went inside and found one man surrounded by a half-dozen Pikachu. I talked to the man who said he was going for the Championship with only Pikachu, and I wished him luck in his endeavor before I checked on the Pikachu roaming around. A couple of the Pikachu just growled at me, and then the third one spoke. It turned out to be a little girl, and she sent out (of course) Pikachu, who was met by Annabelle. Pikachu used Agility to increase it's speed, then Annabelle hit it with Wood Hammer for massive damage and the knock out. I switched over to Maria for the next one, and it used Agility to increase it's speed, then Maria's Mud Bomb missed it. Pikachu tried using Feint, which failed, then Maria's second Mud Bomb hit for massive, super effective damage and won the battle.

I left the Pikachu Fan Club house to fight another Tuber on the beach, who went down easily enough against Maria, and she grew to Level 44. I continued exploring the beach and came across a Fisherman who wanted to fight, and I was happy to oblige him with a drawn-out battle against his pair of Gyarados and a Remoraid, but Marcus, Annabelle, and Maximus were able to take them down and win the battle. I healed my Pokemon up and continued against the next few Fisherman, who went down after a bit of work, and through it all Marcus grew to Level 44.

I went back east to continue on the path, and came across another Sailor looking for a fight. I sent out Alexander, while he sent out Feebas, and it used Splash for no effect, before Alexander's Cross Chop missed. Feebas tried Splash again, then Alexander hit it with Revenge for the knock out. Next up was Machoke, who hit Alexander with Vital Throw for good damage, then Alexander countered with Revenge for massive damage and knocked it out. Finally he sent out Gastrodon, and Alexander used Cross Chop for massive damage and brought it to the red, then it countered with Body Slam for good damage and caused paralysis. Gastrodon used Muddy Water for massive damage, then Alexander finished it off with Rock Smash for the win and he grew to Level 44.

I went through the gateway to Sunyshore City, and was met by a man with red hair. He told me that even though my Pokemon were secure in their Pokeballs, there was no masking an aura of "serious toughness." He then introduced himself as Flint, one of the Sinnoh League's Elite Four! He told me he had an idea he thought I could pull off, about the town's Gym Leader. I was told that the Gym Leader lost his enthusiasm lately because of so few worthy challengers, and that he's been so bored that he's focused all his time on renovating the Gym. When the blackout happened, his mood wasn't improved either.

Flint asked me to give him such a great battle that I would reignite the Gym Leader's passion for battling. He told me he was counting on me before he headed back to the city. I went east and entered Sunyshore City, the "Solar Powered" city as the sign said. I went to the Pokemon Center to heal my team, before I could go ahead and explore the city. I have no doubt that my team is strong enough to take on the Sunyshore Gym Leader easily, and reignite his passion.

Current Team:

Alexander (Machamp, Fighting, Lv. 44)
Lucius (Rapidash, Fire, Lv. 43)
Annabelle (Torterra, Grass/Ground, Lv. 44)
Maria (Gastrodon, Water/Ground, Lv. 44)
Marcus (Staraptor, Normal/Flying, LV. 44)
Maximus (Luxray, Electric, Lv. 44)
