Pokemon Y - Through Santalune Forest to Santalune City

I quickly reached Aquacorde Town once more, where I met up with the other kids, and I decided to do a bit of exploring before I left. I talked to some people in the town, and received a Potion, and information that I could get some fashionable new clothes in Santalune City. I didn't want to purchase anything in Aquacorde Town, and with nothing to do besides look at the pretty fountain in the center of the town, I crossed a beautiful bridge to the north over a river to reach Route 2.

I walked through some tall grass and encountered a Pidgey, and Jack took it out with a single Bubble attack. I continued forward and saw Serena and Shauna standing before a large field of tall grass ahead. They greeted me, and Serena told me she'd teach Shauna and I how to catch Pokemon. She gave us the tutorial of Pokemon catching, and then we both received Pokeballs from her.

Serena continued on, and I went into the tall grass to find some new Pokemon. I quickly found a Scatterbug (Bug, Female, Lv. 2) and after a short battle it was caught. I kept looking, and quickly found another new Pokemon, a Fletchling (Normal/Flying, Male, Lv. 2), and after a short battle it too was caught. Jack grew to Level 7, and I named the Fletchling Gabriel.

I decided to make a quick trip back to Aquacorde Town to see if I could heal my new Pokemon, and fortunately I found a place to heal my team. I decided to do some training on Route 2 so that Gabriel could become stronger, and during training I caught a Bunnelby (Normal, Male. Lv. 2). Through the training Gabriel grew to Level 6, Jack grew to Level 8, and both learned Quick Attack. After that I moved on and reached Santalune Forest.

Before I could enter the forest I fought against a Youngster, and after a short battle Gabriel grew to Level 7. I entered the forest, and Shauna came up to walk with me and heal my Pokemon. I grabbed a nearby Potion, and found a Panpour (Water, Male, Lv. 4) in the tall grass. I caught it after a short battle, and in my next encounter I found a Pansear (Fire, Male, Lv. 4) which was caught in a short battle, and Gabriel grew to Level 8 after that.

I explored the forest, and found another Potion, as well as an Antidote. I kept on training off the main path since Shauna would heal my team upon request, but quickly realized that my team was a bit too powerful to get much experience and so I continued on. I quickly caught up with the others who were going through the forest, and they ran ahead while Tierno got into a battle with a Youngster.

I stepped into a patch of tall grass, and told me to stop as she ran into it, and she came back with a Paralyze Heal she spotted in the grass. I went through the grass and got into another battle, and Jack grew to Level 9 before I continued ahead to find myself battling another Youngster. Gabriel made short work of his team, and after the battle he grew to Level 9 as well.

Tierno ran past me as I continued along the path, and I had Shauna heal my team before I got into more battles with Wild Pokemon. Through the battles Jack grew to Level 10, and he learned Lick in place of Quick Attack. I continued along the path, and Serena gave me a Poke' Ball. I kept on, and got into another battle with a Lass, and while her Pikachu was strong against both my main Pokemon I came through victorious.

I had Shauna heal my team, and I kept going through the forest. I quickly got into another battle with another Lass, and after I won the battle Gabriel grew to Level 10 and learned Peck. I snagged a nearby Poke' Ball and a Potion before I kept going through the forest, and I reached the end of the path. I was the first to reach the end of the forest, and Serena caught up with me and complimented my skill before Tierno and Trevor also reached the end.

Tierno talked about how awesome Pokemon moved, and wondered how he could incorporate that into his dancing. Trevor wasn't thrilled about an obviously tired subject, and then Shauna came up to the others and suggested that we continue on to Santalune City. We left the forest as a group and reached Route 3, where we figured out our plans. Trevor wanted to look for Pokemon, eager to help the Professor by filling his Pokedex, and Tierno wanted to see new Pokemon to see their different moves, while Serena wanted to challenge the Gym Leader in Santalune City.

Serena handed out booklets called Adventure Rules to help us on our journey, and she suggested that we looking in the rules if we're puzzled by something. Serena left, and Shauna told us she wanted to spend time getting to know her Fennekin before she asked what I would do. My plan was to head to the city, perhaps doing training as I made my way there.

I wasn't disappointed with training, as there were lots of Trainers wanting to battle along the way. I was passed by a Roller Skater as I went along the path, then I got off the path to battle more Trainers and find a Super Potion laying around. Jack and Gabriel both grew to Level 11, and I started training Bunnelby before I reached Santalune City.

I went to the Santalune Pokemon Center, and when I got inside I got stopped by Tierno. He was there to get his own Pokemon healed, and he told me about the functions of the Pokemon Center, including the Poke' Mart built inside there. I healed my team, and did more training on Route 3.

During training, I managed to catch a Pikachu (Electric, Male, Lv. 3) which I named Axel. By the time I had finished up with training, Axel grew to Level 9 and learned Growl and Play Nice, Bunnelby grew to Level 10, and both Jack and Gabriel grew to Level 11. I knew they would be ready for the challenges ahead, and for the Santalune Gym!

Current Team:

Axel (Pikachu, Electric, Lv. 9)
Bunnelby (Normal, Male, Lv. 10)
Gabriel (Fletchling, Normal/Flying, Lv. 11)
Jack (Froakie, Water, Lv. 11)
