I started west toward Route 6, and I was stopped by Bianca before I could reach the road. Bianca was amazed that I had already beat the Driftveil Gym, but then told herself she couldn't get distracted. Bianca wanted to battle with me, and it seemed I had little choice in the matter.
Bianca sent out Herdier, while I sent out Nora against it. Herdier's Intimidate cut Nora's attack, but it wouldn't help against Muddy Water, which did great damage, and Nora avoided a counterattack. Another Muddy Water knocked out Herdier, and Nora grew to Level 30.
Servine was sent out next, and I sent Cole out against it. Cole avoided Servine's Slam, and struck back with Flame Charge to knock it out in a single blow. Panpour was sent out next, and I had Mason go out to fight it. Mason used Spark, and it did massive damage to take Panpour down.
Musharna was sent out last, and I sent Zach out against it. Zach hit it with Pursuit for great damage, then Musharna used Defense Curl to increase it's defense. Zach struck with Pursuit again for good damage, then Musharna hit Zach with Hypnosis to put him to sleep. I switched out to Madelyn, and Musharna used Lucky Chant to protect against critical hits, but Madeln struck with Air Cutter for good damage before she too was put to sleep with Hypnosis.
Bianca used a Hyper Potion to heal Musharna, and Madelyn remained asleep. Musharna hit Madelyn with Psybeam for great damage, then Madelyn woke up to use Air Cutter for good damage before she was hit with Psybeam for great damage, barely clinging on. I decided to switch back to Zach, and he remained asleep but immune to Psychic-Type attacks, and Musharna could only increase it's defense.
Zach woke up and attacked with Pursuit, then he used Torment to stop it from constantly using Defense Curl. I had Zach use Hone Claws to increase his attack and accuracy, then he kept up attacking with Pursuit until Binaca used ANOTHER Hyper Potion to heal it once more. This battle was taking far too long between the high defense of Musharna with Defense Curl combined with Bianca healing it twice now.
Finally after a long battle, Musharna was defeated by Zach and the battle was won. Bianca admired my strength, and thought I was tuned into the feelings of my Pokemon. Bianca was kind enough to give me HM02 (Fly) which I could teach to Madelyn to move around easily. Bianca told me her father gave it to her after he tried taking her home, though she figured it was just so she could come home anytime he wants.
Bianca left after she remembered something else she had to give to Cheren, and I went back to the Pokemon Center to heal my team before I continued onto Route 6. I got through some tall grass, and caught Deerling (Normal/Grass, Male, Lv. 22), Karrablast (Bug, Female, Lv. 22), and a Foongus (Grass/Poison, Female, Lv. 25) before I got into a battle with a Scientist.
After the short battle, I taught Madelyn Fly in place of Air Cutter. I moved on and found myself in a battle with a Pokemon Ranger, and after the battle I received a Cherri Berry for my efforts. I got into another battle on a bridge, and through the battle Madelyn grew to Level 30. I continued on and got into yet another battle, this time with another Scientist.
After the battle I found the Season Research Lab, which seemed like a very odd thing to study. I talked to the scientists inside, who told me that they research changes in nature that occur due to the seasons, and another told me that some Pokemon actually change their appearance with the seasons. I was told that specifically the Pokemon Deerling was a prime example of this.
They wanted me to show them Deerling from different seasons, but as I was already a good way through the route I didn't want to double-back to the Pokemon Center, and go between just to get my team put back together. I continued west and got into another battle with another Scientist, and then I got into a battle with a Parasol Lady.
Mason grew to Level 30, and I switched Zach to the head of the team before I continued onward to battle with a Pokemon Ranger. Nora grew to Level 31, and got a Cheri Berry from him before I started north. I found a house, where I received a Shiny Stone from a girl in there, and the girl's mother let us rest there.
Finally I reached Chargestone Cave, and saw the entrance was blocked by a yellow web. Clay came up behind, telling me it was caused by Pokemon called Galvantula, and he took it upon himself to clear the path. Clay handed over TM78 (Bulldoze), and told me that while he didn't know how strong I was, if I felt confident and believed in myself then I should just keep doing what I think I should.
Clay left, and I stared at the entrance to Chargestone Cave. I decided it would be better to continue through later, as I had quite a journey already just to get there. Soon enough I would find myself in the next city, finding new challenges to face.
