Pokemon Pearl - Sailing the Seven Seas!

I healed up my Pokemon, and before starting towards Canalave City, I decided to go back to the Seven Star Hotel to train my Pokemon, and after all those battles Marcus, Alexander, Maximus all grew to Level 33. I didn't get too much experience from those battles, from the level difference, but those three were close enough to leveling up that they grew, and at least I can use this place to get a lot of money.

After that, I decided to use the Bulbapedia guide to find all the places I've gone to where I can use my new ability, Surf. I first went to Oreburgh Gate, down below, and I came across a Veteran Trainer. He sent out Riolu, and I sent out Maria. Maria got hit by Screech, then countered with Mud Bomb for great damage. Maria used her Quick Claw to then hit Riolu with Water Pulse to knock it out, and then he sent out Graveler. Maria used Surf for super effective damage, and knocked it out in one blow. Next up Staraptor was sent out, and I switched out to Maximus. Maximus' attack was lowered by Intimidate, and then he was hit with Take Down for great damage, but he countered with Spark for super effective damage and knocked it out for the win.

I left Oreburgh Gate and headed for Route 204, just north of Jubilife City, where I found a Sea Incense and HP Up. I also used the Vs Seeker while there, and I got into a couple battles with a couple nearby Trainers. Both of the Trainers had very weak Pokemon, and they went down quickly before I moved on. I went north to find the Ravaged Path, and after a lot of rocks smashed and some swimming, I found a Luck Incense, and TM03 (Water Pulse).

I left the cave and then Flew to Floaroma Town, and got a Pecha Berry before heading to the Valley Windworks. I found TM24 (Thunderbolt) on a small bit of land jutting out of the mountain just north of the Valley Windworks, and just south of it I found a Max Elixir next to a wind turbine. I then continued on my way.

I Flew over to Eternia City and got on Route 211, and came across a Hiker I hadn't fought before. He went down easily against Maria, and she grew to Level 33. As I went down to the stream below, I came across a Bird Keeper and took out her Pokemon easily enough. South of her I found TM12 (Taunt), then I went back towards the city, and used Surf up the north pond to find PP Up.

I went into Mt. Coronet, from Oreburgh City, and using Surf I managed to find a Protein, then I continued through. I also found a Dawn Stone, then headed out for more Surfing fun. I left Mt. Coronet on the east side, and found a Fisherman who wanted to fight. I sent out Annabelle, and he sent out Barboach. I had Annabelle use Leech Seed, and Barboach tried using Rest but it was still fully healed, but then got health drained by the Leech Seed. Annabelle hit it with Mega Drain, and it did massive damage to knock it out, and then Annabelle grew to Level 33. Next up was Gyarados, and I decided to keep Annabelle in the fight. Annabelle's attack was halved by Intimidate, then she used Mega Drain for minor damage, and got minor damage in return from Bite. Annabelle then used Cut for minor damage, and another Bite did minor damage to her. I decided to switch out to Maximus, seeing how ineffective Annabelle was, and he got hit by Dragon Rage for good damage. Maximus hit Gyarados with Spark, and it was knocked out by the super effective attack. The battle was won, and I got around $1000 for my effort.

I continued exploring the region with Surf, and in my adventures I found TM19 (Giga Drain), a Rare Candy, a Mystic Water, TM62 (Silver Wind), TM84 (Poison Jab), an Antidote, a Rose Incense, a Water Stone, and several Trainers. After lots of battling, Lucius grew to Level 33, and Maximus grew to Level 34.

While I was getting all this done, something amazing happened; I finally found my original copy of Pokemon Pearl, just before the Elite Four. Using my original copy with my old DS Lite, I did a quick trade, and got Alexander to evolve into Machamp!

Now that I've got my old copy of Pearl back, after I'm done with my adventures with this game, I can go to the old one and grab doubles of all of the legendaries there too! This is gonna be great for trading way beyond into X/Y!
