Pokemon SoulSilver - Victory Road

I flew to Goldenrod City to heal my Pokemon, and also to buy some supplies for the challenge ahead. After I felt good and ready, I went to Route 43 to get into another battle, a rematch with a Trainer I met a while ago, and Lucas grew to Level 41. I returned to Victory Road, and started my way in.

I got into a couple wild Pokemon battles, and Seth grew to Level 42, then I went up a ladder and got into another couple wild Pokemon battles with Blake, and he grew to Level 42 too. I found a Potion and a Full Heal on the first floor, and nothing on the second floor before I went up another ladder.

I dropped down a hole nearby and went north a ways, moved a boulder to grab a Full Restore, then I went up some stairs and up another ladder. As I went through a few wild Pokemon battles, Samuel grew to Level 42. I dropped down another hole, and found an HP Up, before I hopped down and went up another ladder.

I noticed as I continued on that there wasn't yet a single Trainer around Victory Road to challenge me. I wondered where they could be, because the previous Victory Roads I had traveled were swarming with Ace Trainers and the like training their Pokemon. I continued fighting wild Pokemon as I made my way through, and Claire grew to Level 42.

I found TM79 (Dark Pulse) and found my way to the exit, only to be stopped by Aiden. He told me that he had beaten all of the other Trainers along Victory Road, and said they were all spineless. Aiden declared that my journey would end right there, because he would crush me.

Aiden sent out Sneasel, and I sent out Lucas. I switched out to Samuel, who got hit by Icy Wind for minor damage, and also suffered from speed reduction. Sneasel used Quick Attack next for minor damage, then Samuel countered with Close Combat to knock it out in a single blow!

Aiden sent out Kadabra next, and I sent out Claire. Claire used Shadow Ball, and it knocked out Kadabra instantly! Haunter was sent out next, and I kept Claire in the fight. Claire used Shadow Ball again, and Haunter went down instantly just like Kadabra.

Aiden sent out Golbat next, and I sent Edward out against it. Edward used Thunder Punch for massive damage, and Golbat went down hard. At this point I wondered how good all the Trainers along Victory Road could be if I was beating Aiden so easily!

Meganium was sent out next, and I sent out Lucas against it. Lucas flew high, then Meganium used Reflect to increase it's defense, then Lucas swooped down to hit Meganium with Fly for great damage, and avoided a countering Poison Powder. Lucas hit Meganium with Wing Attack for good damage, then it used Synthesis to heal itself.

Lucas went high again, while Meganium used Synthesis again to heal itself fully, before Lucas hit it with Fly for great damage. Meganium countered with Poison Powder, and Lucas was poisoned, and took some damage from it. Lucas finally finished off Meganium with Wing Attack, leaving Aiden with a single Pokemon.

Finally Aiden sent out Magneton, and I sent Seth out against it. Seth charged up, then Magneton used Thunder Wave to paralyze him. Magneton missed an attack, then Seth was stopped by his paralysis! Magneton used Magnet Bomb next for good damage, then Seth countered with Razor Leaf for good damage.

Magneton used Magnet Bomb again, and then I had Seth charge up again. Magnet Bomb hit Seth again for good damage, then he countered with Solar Beam for massive damage. Magneton clung on, and it used Magnet Bomb again for good damage, before Seth used Razor Leaf to finish it off and win the battle!

After the battle, Aiden told me he hadn't given up on becoming the greatest Trainer, and that he would find out why he can't win, and become stronger. He told me that when he got his answer, he would challenge me again. He promised to beat me, but also told me to keep at it until then. It's odd to be rooted for by a power-hungry thief like Aiden, but I guess I'd rather he stay out of my way otherwise...

I left Victory Road and at the end of a short path I found myself in front of the Indigo Plateu, and the Pokemon League HQ. I went inside and healed my team, then I wondered what could be waiting for me at the end of all this. I've gone through so many tough battles so far, and now I would take on my toughest challenge yet!
