I decided to do a bit of training along the shore east of Sunyshore City, as well as at the Seven Stars Restaurant, and Marcus grew to Level 45, while Annabelle and Maximus both grew to Level 46. I also continued at the Honey Trees, and managed to catch another Burmy (Bug, Male, Lv. 9) that I plan on using to breed with the first Burmy and get the full set of evolutions/types. I also taught Maria Waterfall in place of Water Pulse.
After all that, I went back to Sunyshore City and headed to the northern beach, and then I started surfing north. I fought a wild Tentacruel just a short distance from the beach, and Alexander grew to Level 46 after beating it. I kept on northward and came across a Swimmer. I sent out Marcus, and she sent out Lumineon. Marcus used Close Combat for massive damage, then Lumineon used Captivate to lower Marcus' special attack. Marcus finished the battle off with Take Down, and afterwards he grew to Level 46.
I came across another Swimmer north of the first, and she sent out Azurill while I sent out Maria. Maria used Body Slam for massive damage, bringing Azurill to the red, and then it countered with Bubble Beam for minor damage. Maria's Quick Claw allowed her to hit it first with Body Slam again for the knock out, then Azumarill was sent out. Maria used Body Slam against it for great damage, then it countered with Double-Edge for good damage and recoil. I had Maria use Waterfall next, which did great damage, and then Azumarill used Aqua Ring to heal itself turn by turn. I knew I had to knock it out quickly, so I had Maria use Body Slam again for good damage and paralysis, but it clung on, then it countered with Double-Edge for good damage before being knocked out by the recoil.
I kept on going north and came across another Swimmer. I sent out Maria against his Mantyke, and Maria's Body Slam knocked it out in one blow. Next up was Remoraid, and I kept Maria in the fight. Maria used Body Slam for massive damage that knocked out Remoraid in one blow, and then Mantine was sent out last. I decided to switch over to Lucius, even with it's weakness to Water-Types, and he got hit by Water Pulse for great damage. Lucius used Megahorn on it for great damage, then got hit by Confuse Ray and was confused. Lucius was confused, and hurt himself in his confusion, before getting hit by Water Pulse for great damage. I switched over to Maria again and had her use Body Slam for great damage, then Mantine sprang up. Maria tried to use Surf but it missed, then Mantine tried to use Bounce but it missed. Maria finally won the battle with Waterfall to knock it out.
I healed my Pokemon up before continuing on, encountering a pair of Swimmers who pulled me into a Double Battle. They sent out Wingull and Marill, while I sent out Maria and Annabelle. I had Annabelle use Wood Hammer on Wingull and knock it out, then Maria used Body Slam on Marill for massive damage, and it countered with Aqua Jet for minor damage against Maria. Quagsire was sent out next, and I had Annabelle hit it with Mega Drain for massive damage to knock it out and heal from the recoil, and Maria grew to Level 46. Maria finished off Marill with Waterfall, and then Pelipper and Golduck were both sent out. Maria's Quick Claw let her strike first with Waterfall against Golduck for great damage, then Annabelle hit Pelipper with Wood Hammer for massive damage. Golduck flinched from Waterfall, then Pelipper used Stockpile for 1 level, readying to use Spit Up or Swallow. Annabelle used Cut against Pelipper for good damage, then Golduck hit Maria with Water Pulse for good damage, and Maria used Body Slam for good damage against Golduck while Pelipper used Roost to heal up. I had Annabelle use Wood Hammer for massive damage against Pelipper, then Golduck missed it's attack before being knocked out by Maria's Body Slam, and then Pelipper used Spit Up for good damage against Maria. Wingull was sent out, and Maria used Waterfall against it for massive damage which knocked it out instantly, then Annabelle finished off Pelipper with Cut. The battle was won, and I kept on going north.
I was about halfway there before coming across another Swimmer, and her team went down easily against Lucius. I found the halfway point, a small island with shallow water surrounding it, and I found a Pearl before coming across a Sailor who wanted to fight. I beat his Pokemon easily, and Lucius grew to Level 46. I kept on going, finding yet another Swimmer who wanted to fight, and her Golduck was knocked out quickly by Maximus. Another Swimmer north of her, and her team also went down easily again Maximus too.
I decided to halt my progress for a bit, even as close as I was to reaching the Pokemon League, so I could catch a new Water-Type Pokemon. Bulbapedia said that there was a 10% chance of finding it along the route, but it felt a lot more like 1% as I kept encountering Tentacruel and Pelipper, though at least Maximus grew to Level 47. Finally I came across Mantyke (Water/Flying, Male, Lv. 39) and had Annabelle bring it to the red, then I had to use several Net Balls before I finally caught it!
I had to fight against yet another Swimmer along the path, he sent out Gyarados while I sent out Annabelle. She used Mega Drain for minor damage, then it countered with Ice Fang for massive damage that knocked out Annabelle. I switched over to Marcus, who used Take Down for massive damage and brought it to the red, then it countered with Hydro Pump for massive damage. Marcus missed with Take Down, then he got hit by Hydro Pump for great damage. I had Marcus attack with Close Combat, and I won the battle.
I went north and finally found a waterfall, and after I had Maria climb us up there I found a Pokemon Center, and just east of it there was the entrance to Victory Road, though really it's more like Treacherous Cavern with all the strong wild Pokemon and Trainers.
I healed my Pokemon up, ready to fly back to Sunyshore City to buy some supplies, then work my way through Victory Road. I think it'll be interesting to see what challenges await!
