Pokemon Y - Onward to Lumiose City

I started heading north toward Lumoise City only to be stopped by a woman before I could reach the road ahead. She recognized me as one of the kids who got a Pokemon from Professor Sycamore, and she noticed the Bug Badge I had earned.

After she complimented me for getting my first Badge so quickly on my journey, the woman finally introduced herself as Alexa, the older sister of the Santalune Gym Leader, Viola. She told me that she works as a journalist, and handed over the Exp Share as a way to celebrate getting my first Badge. Alexa told me that she works at the big publishing house up in Lumiose City, and welcomed me to stop by anytime if I have a big scoop to share.

Alexa headed north to the city, and I too headed north onto Route 4, also known as Parterre Way. I found a Repel before I made my way into some flowers, and found several wild Pokemon, but all were Pokemon I had seen and caught before. I almost gave up before I spotted a new Pokemon, a red Flabebe (Fairy, Female, Lv. 6), and with it's level so low I tossed a single Great Ball, hoping to catch it, and I snagged it easily! Because of Exp Share, both Axel and Jack grew to Level 12 too.

Flabebe was of the new Fairy-Type Pokemon, and I decided to name her Cadence. It would be interesting having a Fairy-Type Pokemon on my team, and I hoped she would be a powerful addition to this growing team of mine. I continued on and found an Antidote, then I got into a battle. After an extended battle, Gabriel grew to Level 13, and then I found a Great Ball and a Super Potion before I continued onward.

I quickly found myself before Perle Fountain, a large and beautiful fountain in the middle of Route 4 which featured a pair of Horsea squirting water like Water Gun over a Clamperl. It also had an inscription at the base, which read "Acceptance creates harmony." I admired the fountain for a time before I moved on and found myself in another battle.

Cadence grew to Level 7, and then I went back to Santalune City to heal my team before I went back onto Route 4 to get into another battle. After the battle Bunnelby grew to Level 11, and I continued on to immediately find myself in another battle. During the battle Jack grew to Level 13, and Cadence grew to Level 8. I was quickly learning to LOVE the Exp Share gadget, if training would be so easy.

I went back to Santalune City once more to heal my team, and to grab some healing items before I continued on through Route 4. I got into another battle, with Bunnelby getting an easy victory against the Preschooler's Magikarp, and Gabriel grew to Level 14.

I kept getting into battles, and through them all Bunnelby grew to Level 13, Cadence grew to Level 9, Jack grew to Level 14 and learned Water Pulse in place of Bubble, and Axel grew to Level 13 and learned Thunder Wave in place of Play Nice. I also found a Net Ball, and Honey. Eventually I got to the gate to Lumiose City, where spotted a couple people in lab coats.

They stopped me, asking if I had ever heard of Flabebe, and they were surprised when I told them I actually had one with me. They explained that Flabebe is a Fairy-Type Pokemon, a new Type that was discovered recently, or at least the man explained while the woman shouted with excitement at the type-matchup system changes caused by this new Fairy-Type group. She told me they had been battling Fairy-Type Pokemon against other types at Professor Sycamore's request.

The woman introduced herself as Sina, and the man introduced himself as Dexio. Dexio told me that just two years prior Professor Sycamore gave him a Pokedex, and Sina told me they could show me to the lab, and I was more than happy to follow them and finally meet Professor Sycamore.

When we were at the gate, Dexio handed over TM27 (Return) before I passed by him and Sina to reach Lumiose City. I stepped forward into the massive city, and Sina told me she'd wait in front of the lab for me, and Dexio told me to follow her down the street. I decided I would call it a night, and get some rest before I would finally meet Professor Sycamore.

Current Team:

Bunnelby (Normal, Male, Lv. 13)
Cadence (Flabebe, Fairy, Lv. 9)
Axel (Pikachu, Electric, Lv. 13)
