Pokemon Black - The road to Striaton City

I did some training on Route 1, and got Cole to Level 9, and Patrat and Lillipup both to Level 8. I also went through my blog to do some editing for spelling and smoother reading. After I finally got finished with that, I was ready to continue my journey. I found that in my time away, the weather changed to Winter.

I went west to leave Accumula Town, through a gateway with an Electric Bulletin Board, which gave information about the route and destination, as well as tidbits of information on the Unova region. I left the gateway and found my Xtransceiver ringing, and when I answered it I found it was Mom calling me.

The call was quick, with Mom telling me she wanted to talk to me, so she would be hanging up immediately. When the call was ended, I heard her behind me, and found she had followed me through to Route 2. Mom admired how far I had come already, and she gave me another present, Running Shoes! Now I could sprint whenever I wanted.

I started on more training while on Route 2 and I found a Purrloin (Dark, Male, Lv. 4) which I managed to catch for my collection. I snagged a Potion in the tall grass, and through several battles I was able to get Cole, Lillipup, and Patrat all to Level 10. I started making my way through Route 2 and found myself in a battle against a Trainer.

I sent Cole out against the Youngster's Patrat, and a single Critical Ember knocked it out to win the battle. I went onward and got into another battle with a Lass, who sent out Purrloin against Cole, and after a short battle I came out victorious. Another Youngster wanted to battle with a Lillipup, and Cole took it out fairly quickly, and he grew to Level 11.

I found a Potion and Pokeball on a side path, and then I continued to the end of Route 2 before I was stopped by Bianca. She wanted another battle, and so I gave it to her. I sent out Patrat against her Lillipup, and a single Tackle brought it to the red, before it countered with Tackle for good damage. Bianca used a Potion to heal her Lillipup, aand then Patrat used Bite for great damage to put it in the yellow, and one more Tackle knocked it out.

Next up, Bianca sent out Snivy, and I kept Patrat in the fight. Bite did great damage to Snivy before it countered with Leer to lower Patrat's defense, then it hit with Tackle before Patrat Tackled it to knock it out and win the battle.

I soon found myself in Striaton City, and I went to heal my team. I decided I would call it a day for now, but I knew I would need to spend time training my team for the challenge ahead.

Current Team:

Patrat (Normal, Female, Lv. 10)
Cole (Tepig, Fire, Lv. 10)
Lillipup (Normal, Male, Lv. 10)
Purrloin (Dark, Male, Lv. 4)
