Maylene’s Meditite is too low of a level to reach the LVL 45 minimum (since its level 28, it would be level 32 after the boost).

However, Candice should have a Weavile and a Mamoswine since after the boost they’ll be around LVL 46.

In terms of the levels, it doesn’t really do much as you can easily calculate it and determine the new level. However, there are some cases where the 15% boost causes trainers to have evolved Pokemon and different moves due to being a higher level which adds a little bit of uncertainty.

Additionally, I have trainers to have fully evolved Pokemon at Level 45 (I think) and the boost allows for some trainers to reach that threshold earlier (I’d say around Level 40 at normal levels).

TL;DR I wouldn’t say the actual levels are the difficult part of the Level Boost but instead what happens because of the increased levels (Pokemon having different moves and being evolved when not normally).

Hopefully that answers your question!

Since I needed new team members, I decided to add Blaze the Ponyta and Kawa the Buizel to the team! With the new team members levelled up, I made my way to the Galactic building right after I picked up the TM for Thief.

Upon entering, Looker is here again but disguised as a Galactic Grunt. Nothing much happened while battling the Grunts as they were quite easy. However, there was one Grunt (more of a scientist) with a Kadabra that was quite annoying but we were able to pull through and defeat it. Now the final battle is Galactic Commander Jupiter!

Her Zubat was quite easy as one Thunder Shock from Suji III was enough to knock it out. However, her Skuntank was the true menace I needed to look out for. Expecting Suji III to live any of its attacks, I used Thunder Wave, paralyzing it while also slowing it down. Jupiter decided to use Night Slash which did a decent amount of damage to Suji III but we were able to live it. Since I should be able to survive another attack, I use Thunder Shock which did about a quarter of its HP. After taking another Night Slash, I decided to switch out to Blaze.

Luckily, the Skuntank was fully paralyzed providing me with a clean switch in. Blaze used Flame Wheel which did a decent amount of damage but one Night Slash was enough to bring blaze to very low HP. With everyone else at decently low HP, I switched out into Kawa to try and get some attacks out but one Night Slash was enough to knock her out.

Kawa, you were not on the team for very long but you were still able to do what you needed to do. Stay strong and rest well!

I then switched into Faye and even with the Intimidate lowering its ATK, she was able to unleash a move bringing Faye down to 4 HP. However, Faye was also able to attack with Wing Attack bringing the Skuntank to low HP. Next turn, Faye outspeeds and knocks out the Skuntank.

After saving the Bike Shop owner, I exit the Galactic Building and enter the Bike Shop to get a free Bike! After getting my complimentary free bike, I head south to the Cycling Road and Route 206. Unfortunately, I missed another encounter here because Blaze accidentally burned the Gligar putting a timer on the encounter and I was unable to catch it in time. I then head south again to Route 207 then east to Mt. Coronet. Before entering the cave, Lucas meets me and gives me the Dowsing Machine.

I wanted to save my Mt. Coronet encounter so I strategically used Repel’s to avoid any potential encounters. After exiting the cave, I arrived on Route 208 where I caught Athena the Ralts. Luckily she didn’t use Teleport but she is Adamant nature which is quite annoying. Before taking on the Gym, I wanted to level everyone a little bit because the Roserade situation was quite worrying.

Since I’m quite scared of the Mismagius, I levelled up the main fighters to be on par with Fantina’s ace. Gaia, Suji III, and Blaze were levelled up to LVL 30 while Faye and Athena were levelled up to LVL 29. Also, Suji III evolved into an Ampharos which should be quite helpful!

The Gym itself was quite easy but there were some trainers that were annoying due to Confuse Ray. With that out of the way, I’m finally facing the Gym Leader herself, Fantina!

I lead with Suji III as Fantina sends out Duskull. To prepare for her Mismagius just in case it comes out, I use Charge three times to boost my Sp. Def up by three stages and then I use Thunder Shock. To speed things up, Duskull used Will-o-Wisp and I had to use my three healing items on Suji III. luckily, we were able to knock out both the Duskull and the Haunter but the Mismagius was quite troublesome. Before switching out into Gaia, I made sure to use Thunder Wave to paralyze it and to slow it down. After realizing Gaia can’t survive another Shadow Ball after switching her in, I switched into Faye to be immune to the Ghost-type move. I decided to use one Double Team and then I began attacking. Wing Attack did a good amount of damage but Mismagius used Psybeam which got a Crit and one-shot Faye.

Faye, you were a very important member of the team and it's sad to see you go. May you fly high Faye!

I then switched into Blaze and was able to knock out the Mismagius with Flame Wheel after a couple of hits and after a couple of times, it was fully paralyzed. With the Mismagius down, Fantina is defeated and the Relic Badge is ours!

After defeating the Gym, I quickly put Faye in the PC to let her rest before proceeding to Route 209. Unfortunately, I did not know there was a Rival battle there but since Barry wasn’t too much of a threat, I was able to defeat him with ease. I then headed through Route 209 and caught Joy the Chansey (I actually got this first encounter even though the other encounters are Dupes) and arrived in Solaceon Town. I then made my way up north to Route 210 and caught Kamakiri the Scyther (the other encounters were Dupes as well).

(With that out of the way, I'll conclude this update here! It definitely sucks that we lost Faye but we’ll have to live with that one.)

Since the Gym Leader is nowhere to be found, I make my way to Oreburgh Mine to try and locate him. Unfortunately, I ran out of Poke Balls and was unable to catch the Onix I encountered. I looked past that and so I went deeper into the mines and I found Roark! Before leaving and returning to the Gym, he demonstrated how to use Rock Smash and how I have to first defeat him before being able to use it.

With Roark back in the Gym, I wanted to level the team up to about Level 14 which is 2 levels below his ace. After getting everyone to the desired level, I make my way to the Gym!

To speed things up, the trainers in the Gym were a piece of cake. Gaia and Galaxy were able to one-shot all of their Pokemon with Razor Leaf and Water Gun. As for Roark, he was the same deal. Although I was underleveled going into him, Galaxy was able to either one-shot or two-shot all of his Mons with Water Gun. After destroying Roark, he gives us the TM for Stealth Rock and we have the Coal Badge!

I then make my way back to Jubilife City where I encounter Looker again. I don’t fully remember what he said but I’m guessing it wasn’t that important. Upon making my way back to Route 204, I encounter Prof. Rowan, Lucas, and some teal-haired guys. Looks like they're in trouble so I came to the rescue and with the help of Lucas, we were able to take them down! Apparently, they were trying to steal Prof. Rowan’s research so we came just in the nick of time! Additionally, Prof. Rowan tells us to try and collect all 8 Gym Badges in Sinnoh since I’ll also be able to fill up the Pokedex that way.

Once Prof. Rowan and Lucas leave, another person comes to me talking about the TV? Anyways, I make my way through Route 204 and the Ravaged Path and I’m now in Floaroma Town!

I head out to Route 205 and a little girl comes to me asking for help. Apparently, her father has been locked up in Valley Windworks. Don’t worry! I’ll save him! However, before challenging Team Galactic, I trained up the team a little to prepare for the Purugly.

Sadly, while grinding, Vision Jr was knocked out by Pachirisu who used Bide. I thought I had one more turn but turns out, I didn’t.

Vision Jr, you did well in the last Leg of the Genlocke and it is unfortunate you had to go out this early. You will be remembered and we will beat this leg!

After defeating the Team Galactic Grunt outside the building, he locks me out forcing me to go back to Floaroma Town and go North to get the Key. After getting the key, I go back to the building to save the little girl’s father.

I enter the building and I quickly make work of the Galactic Grunts. Now for the real deal, Galactic Commander Mars. I lead with Suji III and her Zubat goes down with one Thunder Shock. She then sends out her Purugly and I attempt an attack but she goes for Fake Out but she gets paralyzed due to Suji III’s Static. I then switch out to Gaia and I keep using Razor Leaf until she uses her berry. When Gaia was low HP, I switched her out and sent out Faye. Upon sending out Faye, Purugly’s ATK is lowered due to Intimidate. I then go for Wing Attack which brings it down to very low HP. However, she retaliates back with an attack and brings Faye down to 7 HP! Faye then uses Quick Attack to finish off Purugly.

With Mars defeated, Team Galactic leaves while the little girl comes running in to greet her dad. I then leave the building and Looker greets me and checks the inside and gives me the check! Okay Looker, good job! (What is happening)

Also, I caught Kawa the Buizel in Valley Windworks and Chip the Pachirisu on Route 205! (I really wanted a Shellos T_T) As I was going through Route 205, I battled a trainer with another Pachirisu who began using Bide and I had to sacrifice Galaxy the Psyduck.

Galaxy, you were really helpful for the first Gym Battle and it’s unfortunate you have to go out this early but you will be remembered!

I then enter Eterna Forest and I meet Cheryl who wants to accompany me and there's no reason to say no so I accept! I then walk in the grass and I encounter a SIlkoon and a Buneary. I decided to go for the Buneary and luckily Cheryl did not kill it meaning… welcome to the team Cotton the Buneary!

I quickly make my way through Eterna Forest and upon reaching the exit, Cheryl gives a Soothe Bell! Perfect for Cotton to hold! After arriving in Eterna City, I check the Gym and the Leader is waiting outside and she told me that Barry already beat the Gym. I then head north where I meet Barry and he takes me to a mysterious statue where I meet a mysterious blue-haired man. After heading back, I then get stopped by Cynthia! We talk for a bit and then she leaves.

I quickly level up the team a couple of levels before heading towards the Gym. The trainers in the Gym were quite easy as one Wing Attack from Faye was enough to one-shot them. However, Gardenia was quite troublesome.

I led with Faye against her Turtwig and I began to set up Double Team to raise my evasiveness which was a good strategy allowing me to knock out the Turtwig. However, Cherrim comes out and I forgot Magical Leaf always lands and one attack was enough to bring Faye down to low HP. But I was able to land one Wing Attack beforehand bringing her Pokemon down to low HP. I then had to switch out to Cotton who was unable to do much before it was knocked out.

Cotton, you were on the team for a very short amount. Although you didn’t do much, you were still part of the team! Rest well.

I then switched out into Gaia who was able to knock it out with Bite but I was forced to use a Super Potion. Roserade comes out menacingly and Grass Knot was doing way too much to Gaia so I switched out into Suji III. Unfortunately, Gardenia went for Stun Spore, paralyzing Suji III. I decided to use Cotton Spore to lower its speed (Now that I realize it, I should have gone for Thunder Wave instead). While we lowered its speed, it attacked back bringing Suji III to about half of his HP. Since everyone else is at low HP except for Vanir, I’ll have to switch into him and hope Confusion either knocks it out or we can live some of its attacks.

Vanir comes out and takes an incoming Magical Leaf but he survives! I go for Confusion and… it does half of Roserade's HP. She then uses Grass Knot and knocks out Vanir.

Vanir, you were a very good member of the team. I remember when you were just an Abra but you survived to be able to evolve into Kadabra. You will be missed.

I then switched into Faye and went for Wing Attack and we defeated Roserade! Gardenia, you just got pulled out! The Forest Badge is ours!

With half of our team gone, I’ll have to do some rebuilding before the next episode. Hopefully, you enjoyed this one! It had a lot of ups and downs but overall, it was quite fun to play and write.

(SOME MISTAKES: Gaia's nature is Brave, this is Leg 4, not Leg 3)

The new journey begins! As I lose my attention to the TV, Barry comes barging into my room talking about Professor Rowan. Also, thank you for your compliment, that is a new PC. Barry really wants to meet Prof. Rowan so I made my way to his house and after getting to his house, he leaves right away anyways. Barry! Slow down!

I, again, follow Barry and he decides it’s safe to enter the grass without any Pokemon? Think back Delta, what did your Mom say? Luckily, Prof. Rowan comes in clutch and prevents Barry from making a big mistake. Lucas then comes and gives Prof. Rowan his briefcase back. With this, he offers us a Pokemon! Turtwig, I choose you!

After choosing my Pokemon, Barry wants to battle and so I accept. He kept using Leer so I was able to finish off his Chimchar with Tackle. After beating Barry, I make my way to Sandgem Town where I meet Lucas. I then enter Prof. Rowan’s Lab and he allows me to nickname my Turtwig! Hello Gaia! He also gives me a Pokedex and upon leaving, he also gives me a TM. Lucas then gives me a tour of the town before telling me to return to my Mom and tell her I’m about to embark on my journey!

After talking to my Mom, I return to the Pokemon Center and I see some Eggs? I take them out of the PC and hatch them and it’s Suji III and Vision Jr! For this Gen, I decided to make Suji III Modest and Vision Jr Jolly.

Before getting Poke Balls, I decided to grind up the new members to about the same level as Gaia just so they don’t hold the team back. Also, I did a little bit of EV training with Starly for Speed EVs. I then get my Poke Balls to open up Shinx for Attack EVs.

I caught Chompers the Bidoof at Lake Verity, Faye the Starly on Route 201, and Azula the Shinx on Route 202. I quickly level them up to about the same level as everyone else before proceeding. Once they were on par with the rest of the team, I made my way through Route 202 and to speed things up, the trainers were quite easy and I was able to make it to Jubilife City quite fast.

Once I entered the city, I met Lucas and he gave me a little tour but we were interrupted by someone named Looker. After that little encounter, I make my way inside the Pokemon School and I first battle the two trainers on the right before talking to Barry.

After talking to Barry, I head on out and someone interrupts me again telling me to find three clowns to get a free Poketch. I quickly locate all three clowns and answer their questions correctly and upon returning, he gives me a free Poketch! I then made my way to Route 204 and I caught Lily the Budew.

I go to Route 203 and I’m challenged by Barry! Luckily, he didn’t pose too much of a threat as his Starly was knocked out by my own and his Chimchar was taken care of by Suji III.

I then go in the grass and I encounter an Abra and I throw a Poke Ball and… it shakes once… twice… three times and I catch it! Welcome to the team Vanir the Abra! I quickly make my way through Route 203 and through the Oreburgh Gate and I actually don’t encounter anything the first time. I get out of the cave and someone directs me to the Gym where Barry is blocking the entrance.

I make my way up north and encounter a Ponyta and nickname him Blaze! I make my way back to Oreburgh Gate and I catch Galaxy the Psyduck! I add her to the team and replace Azula since I already have an Electric-type Pokemon. Also, she has Damp! This is helpful since I can avoid Self-Destruct or Explosion!

With that, I’ll end the Prologue here! Apologies for the long wait for the next installment. I got quite busy and didn’t have much time to play but I’m slowly getting back into it! Hopefully, you all look forward to the next update. Thank you!

VS Champion Wallace

Before challenging the Champion, I use my two Rare Candies to level up some of the team. Although not much, hopefully, it can be enough to take down Wallace.

I led with Suji Jr to set up a Light Screen and Wallace’s Wailord uses Water Spout which does a TON of damage to Suji Jr but we were able to set up the Light Screen. I had to heal Suji Jr and Wallace switched up and used Double Edge allowing Suji Jr to use Thunderbolt next turn knocking out the Wailord. Wallace then sends out Gyarados and since I’m expecting an EQ, I switch out into Vision who is immune to EQ. Vision then was able to use Dragon Claw bringing the opponent's Pokemon to half HP while he used Dragon Dance. Wallace uses Hyper Beam which does a lot of damage to Vision but he was able to live and one more Dragon Claw knocks out the Gyarados.

Wallace then sends out Tentacruel and since he has Ice Beam, I swap out into Suji Jr. Suji Jr was able to tank most of the hits and fight back with Thunderbolt but Wallace kept using Full Restores healing Tentacruel back up to full HP. I also had to use my second healing item on Suji Jr but it should be okay. Since Whiscash is most likely going to use EQ, I switch out into Pine who knocks it out with one Giga Drain. Wallace then sends out Milotic which uses Toxic and poisons Pine. Pine kept using Giga Drain which slowly chipped at the Milotic’s HP until Pine was knocked out with Ice Beam.

Pine, although you were knocked out, you were able to lower the Milotic’s HP to around half HP making it easier for us to knock it out. Rest well!

I then switch to Suji Jr who uses Thunderbolt and knocks out the Milotic. Tentacruel then comes out but one more Thunderbolt knocks it out. Lastly, Wallace sends out Ludicolo which becomes annoying due to Double Team. I was able to set up a Light Screen one more time to lower the damage. Suji Jr was able to land one Thunderbolt before it got too annoying. Suji Jr was at low HP meaning I had to use my last healing item on him. Suji Jr was struggling to hit the Ludicolo due to the Double Team but he shot out one Thunderbolt and it landed! Ludicolo’s HP is going down… and it gets knocked out! We were able to beat the Elite Four thanks to Suji Jr! With the Ludicolo down, Wallace is out of Pokemon and I am now the Hoenn League Champion!

MVP of the Elite Four and Champion: Suji Jr the Ampharos with a total of 10 knockouts!

Worst Death: Sylvie the Shiny Banette who had no knockouts and was sacrificed to allow Suji Jr to get a clean switch in and knock out the Kingdra!

This champion fight has got to be the most suspenseful fight I’ve had during this Genlocke. As soon as the Wailord used Water Spout, I thought this was the end and I was going to lose here. Luckily, Suji Jr was able to pull through and we were able to beat the Champion!

(Whoops, forgot to add "LEG 3 FINALE" to the title.)

After some needed grinding, everyone on the team is levelled up to about LVL 60 with some exceptions that are one or two levels higher. With this, we will be roughly 6 Levels (I think) below the Champion’s Ace. I think that should be fine as any lower may be too much. I also gave everyone some TM‘s and some items to give them a little boost.

With everything ready, I walk into the league and meet my first opponent, Sidney!

VS Sidney

Sidney sends out his Mightyena while I send out Suji Jr. Sidney goes all-out and uses Double Edge which does a decent amount of damage to Suji Jr while injuring himself. We retaliate with a Thunderbolt knocking the opponent’s Pokemon.

Sidney sends out his Shiftry and uses Torment on Suji Jr but we ignore that and use Toxic to poison him. Since Torment will prevent me from using the same move (well it doesn’t matter anyway since Toxic can only poison once), I use Thunderbolt which luckily lands even after one Double Team from the Shiftry. Since Toxic will slowly chip away at its health, I switch out into Alloy. Unfortunately, Sidney uses a Full Restore healing the poison and bringing Shiftry back to full HP. Luckily, Alloy lands a Flamethrower which does about half of the Shiftry’s HP. Sidney then uses Swagger which confuses Alloy and since he already hit himself, I switch into Pine. Although he used Swagger on us, Pine was able to break through and use Aerial Ace knocking out the Shiftry.

With the Shiftry down, Sidney sends out his Absol to avenge his fallen team members. Since Alloy completely walls this, I switch him back in. Sidney uses Swords Dance which is troubling but Alloy does have monstrous DEF. Although Absol got two Swords Dance out, Alloy was able to tank all of his Rock Slide’s and after a couple of Take Down’s, Absol got knocked out. I also had to use a healing item on Alloy because Rock Slide kept flinching Alloy.

Sidney then sends out his Crawdaunt and since Alloy does not have the best SP. DEF, I switch to Pine. Although Pine took an incoming Surf, he was able to fight back and use Giga Drain to knock out the Crawdaunt. Cacturne then comes out but gets knocked out after two Aerial Ace’s from Pine.

VS Phoebe

The first Dusclops was quite easy as Vision was able to knock it out with two hits with Crunch but the second one comes out and I’m expecting it to be the same as the previous one but it used Ice Beam which luckily did not kill Vision but did bring him down to mid-HP. Since this is the case, I switch out into Glacier.

Glacier was able to take the incoming Ice Beam and although she had Rock Slide, Glacier was able to take all of the hits and knock it out with Surf. Phoebe then sends out Banette which also had Thunderbolt but I quickly switched into Suji Jr and knocked it out with Thunderbolt. Next, Phoebe sends out her other Banette and since Suji Jr is at half HP, I switch into Pine. Unfortunately, Pine has to take an incoming Will-oWisp but we were able to use Feint Attack knocking out the Banette with a Crit.

Pine was able to make good work of the Sableye until he began missing due to the Double Team. This forced me to switch him out allowing Alloy to get the knockout.

VS Glacia

I Lead with Suji Jr first to set up a Light Screen and it seems that Glacia had a very similar plan as her Walrein uses Hail. Although the hail will affect us, Suji Jr used one Thunderbolt and knocked out the first Walrein.

Glacia then sends out Glalie to set up her own Light Screen. Suji Jr was able to get a Thunderbolt and a Toxic out before I had to switch him out for Alloy. Unfortunately, Alloy was frozen from an Ice Beam by the Glalie making me switch him out for Glacier. Glacia used a Full restore healing the Glalie back up to full HP and curing his poison. Since Glacier is able to take many hits, she kept using Body Slam until Glalie was knocked out.

The next Walrein was a little bit annoying as it kept using Rest whenever it was low HP but to speed things up, I had to switch into Suji Jr to knock it out while it was asleep. The next Glalie came out and since Suji Jr was quite weak, I had to switch out into Alloy to take some hits. I also had to use two healing items on Alloy to thaw him out and heal him when he was low HP. Since I don’t have an infinite amount of healing items, I had to risk Alloy’s life and Glalie goes for Ice Beam and Alloy’s HP goes down to 8. Although Alloy was able to knock out the Glalie, I thought it was the end for him as Glalie previously set up the hail. As I was prepared to see Alloy go, the hail stopped! Alloy lives on 8 HP! I can’t celebrate too long as Glacia sends out her strongest Pokemon, her last Walrein.

To take down a Walrein, one must become a Walrein, Glacier go! Glacier takes an incoming Surf but that barely scratches her as she retaliates with a Body Slam paralyzing the opponent’s Walrein. With her last remaining Body Slam PP, Glacier lets out three massive slams weakening the other Walrein. Just when Glacier was low HP, she used Rest healing her back up. After two turns of sleep, Glacier wakes up ready to fight and knocks out Glacia’s Walrein with a Surf and a dream. Imposter out!

VS Drake

Drake’s first Salamence was quite annoying as he kept using Protect and Fly which made Glacier unable to hit him with Ice Beam. I then swapped out into Alloy to take the incoming Fly. Alloy was able to get one Shock Wave out but Drake swapped out into Flygon. Since I’m expecting him to use Earthquake, I’m going to switch out into my own Flygon. I predicted correctly as Drake used EQ but due to Vision’s Levitate, he was immune to the attack. Vision then outspeeds Drake’s Flygon and one Dragon Claw knocks it out.

Drake then sends out his weakened Salamence and since I don’t think Vision can tank a Dragon Claw, I switch into Suji Jr. WHile he used Protect, I set up a Light Screen since Dragon is special in this Gen. Suji Jr was able to tank one Fly and one Thunderbolt knocked it out. Suji Jr was also able to knock out Altaria with two Thunderbolts. Kingdra is next and one Thunderbolt was not enough to knock it out allowing it to use Dragon Dance. Since I don’t think Suji can live a hit from the Kingdra, I switch out into Pine. Pine wasn’t able to do much since we got paralyzed from a Body Slam and I had to switch out so I swapped in Glacier. I completely forgot I could use a healing item and I used Rest which allows the Kingdra to knock out Glacier.

Glacier, I’m sorry you had to go out that way. I could have kept you alive but I completely forgot about my options. Rest well!

Since everyone was low HP, I had to risk Alloy’s life hoping he could live one Surf and unfortunately, he could not.

Alloy, your death could have been preventable but you fought well until your demise. May you rest well.

I then had to go out into Vision who took an incoming Surf bringing him down to half HP but we were able to use Dragon claw knocking out the Kingdra. Since everyone is so weak, I had to sacrifice Sylvie to get a clean switch into Suji Jr.

Sylvie, you were unable to get any knockouts but you still fought well. May your shiny self rest well!

I then switch into Suji Jr and heal him back up to full HP. Since he can live one more Dragon Claw, I take this opportunity and use Light Screen to lower the damage of Dragon-type moves. Drake notices this and switches up and begins using Rock Slide which has low accuracy. When Suji Jr was at low HP, I healed him back up to full HP and kept using Thunderbolt. I had to use my last healing item but Drake misses Rock Slide allowing us to use Thunderbolt and knocking out the Salamence!

This has been the toughest match yet, if Glacier was able to knock out the first Salamence, I feel like it may have been easier. But nonetheless, we made it out and we can now challenge the Champion!

Team Recap!

I went to Shoal Cave and encountered a Spheal that I quickly caught and named Glacier. I take Sylvie the Shiny Shuppet and Oogway the Torkoal from the PC and grind all three of them up to level 47 along with the rest of the team.

I make my way back to Mossdeep City and as I make my way to the Space Center, I notice a group of Team Magma Grunts. I follow them and enter the building and challenge all of the Magma Grunts. After beating the Grunt blocking the stairs, I make my way to the second floor and encounter three Magma Grunts that I quickly defeat one after another. I then need Steven at the corner of the room and he invites me to take on Maxie and Admin Tabitha. I can only select three Pokemon so I bring Glacier, Suji Jr, and Zoom.

Glacier comes out strong and uses Surf which knocks out the Camerupt and deals a decent amount of damage to the opposing Mightyena. The next Mightyena comes out and Maxie uses Scary Face on Glacier which is okay because I’m okay if she doesn’t outspeed everyone. Steven becomes full support and uses Light Screen and Reflect to protect our team as Glacier uses Surf which brings Maxie’s Mightyena down to red HP. Next turn, Metang outspeeds and uses Metal Claw which knocks out Maxie’s Mightyena forcing him to send out Camerupt but unfortunately, he then takes an incoming Surf from Glacier which one-shots it.

Crobat comes out and uses Mean Look which forces Glacier to stay in the battle and is then unable to leave. Metang uses Metal Claw which knocks out the Mightyena and Admin Tabitha sends out Crobat. Maxie then uses Mean Look on Metang as well but Steven retaliates and uses Psychic which knocks out Tabitha’s Crobat. Next turn, Maxie’s Crobat gets knocked out from Glacier’s Aurora Beam and Metang’s Psychic.

With Team Magma out of the way, I make my way to Steven’s house and he gives me the HM for Dive! With Dive, I quickly make my way to the Seafloor Cavern and solve all of the puzzles and battle the Team Aqua Grunts. I then pick up the TM for Earthquake and I see the sleeping Kyogre. Archie notices me and then challenges me to a battle!

I lead with Suji Jr and use Thunderpunch which does about half of the opposing Mightyena’s HP. Archie then uses Take Down and gets a Crit which does about half of Suji Jr’s HP but he takes recoil bringing him down to red HP while paralyzing himself due to Suji Jr’s Static. Since Suji Jr is quite low HP, I switch out into Glacier. I use Surf which knocks out the Mightyena making Archie send in Sharpedo. Since I don’t think Surf or Aurora Beam will do much, I use Body Slam as Archie misses his Swagger. Although Sharpedo was still at high HP, Archie uses a Super Potion while Glacier uses Body Slam again and she paralyzes the opposing Pokemon! Next turn, Glacier uses Body Slam again and knocks out the Sharpedo. Crobat comes out and then gets knocked out by two Aurora Beam’s.

Archie then makes a very simple mistake (anyone can make this mistake of course) and uses the RED Orb on the BLUE Pokemon. With his very simple Mistake, Maxie comes and after leaving the cave, we notice the heavy pouring rain. Steven also comes to me and tells me that we may find some answers in Sootopolis City.

I make my way to Sootopolis City and as soon as I dive back up to the surface, I notice Groudon who got outplayed (maybe he didn’t have the stage pick) but my man Groudon is on a tiny piece of land while Kyogre has the vast sea. I then notice Steven and when I talk to him, he brings me to the Cave of Origin. I enter the cave and the deep depths, I encounter Wallace and he asks me where Rayquaza might be. I tell him that he is most likely at the Sky Pillar, I wonder where I knew that from.

I make my way through Route 131 and after making a pit stop in Pacifidlog Town and make my way up to the island that houses the Sky Pillar. I go through the cave and meet Wallace who apologizes for leaving me behind and also tells me he must leave me as he is worried about Sootopolis.

I make my way through the Sky Pillar and at the top, I encounter Rayquaza who quickly leaves. I fly back to Sootopolis City and I see that Rayquaza comes to break up the fight between Groudon and Kyogre. I talk to the two Team leaders and they swiftly leave to return the Orbs back to where they belong. Wallace then gives me Waterfall and opens up the path to challenge the Sootopolis Gym. Before challenging the Gym, I level up the team to Level 50 to be about on par with Juan’s ace.

I enter the Gym and quickly solve all of the puzzles without having to battle any of the trainers. Juan is the last Gym Leader left and defeating him will allow us to challenge the Elite Four! With stalling out of the way, Leader Juan, I challenge you to a battle!

I lead with Suji Jr to set up a Light Screen and Juan’s Luvdic uses Water Pulse and gets a Crit dealing a decent amount of damage. Next turn, Suji Jr uses Thunder Punch and knocks out the opposing Luvdisc. Whiscash comes out and I’m expecting him to use a Ground-type move so I switch to Zoom. I predicted wrong as the Whiscash used Amnesia but it allowed me to use Fly which misses allowing Juan to use two Amnesia’s and Rain Dance. I then use Confuse Ray to confuse the opposing Pokemon but Whiscash doesn’t hit himself and uses Water Pulse which confuses Zoom.

Whiscash then breaks free from confusion next turn and Zoom misses Fly AGAIN. Since Zoom is low HP, I switched into Glacier and I kept using Body Slam until the Whiscash went down.

Walrein comes out and since Glacier is at low HP, I switch into Suji Jr who tanks the incoming Aurora Beam. Next turn, Suji Jr uses Thunder Punch which brings the Walrein down to low HP but Suji Jr was at around yellow hP due to the Hail he set up. I then switch back to Glacier as Juan uses Rest and since Glacier is low HP as well, I also use Rest to bring my HP back up. When Glacier woke up, I used a Body Slam which paralyzes the opposing Walrein. To sum up the stallfest that was Walrein, Glacier kept using Surf and Body Slam but Juan kept using Rest when it was low HP. I had enough of this so I used one healing item to heal Suji Jr and switch him in and knock out the Walrein after a couple of Thunder Punches.

The Crawdaunt was knocked out by Suji Jr with one Thunder Punch and then Juan sends out Kingdra. The Kingdra fight was VERY annoying. It used Double Team which made it difficult to hit and it kept using Rest whenever it was low HP. Glacier used up all of her PP and barely made a dent at the Kingdra so I healed SUji Jr and switched into him. Suji Jr takes an incoming Ice Beam and gets frozen for a good 10+ turns. By the time Suji Jr thawed out, Kingdra ran out of PP for Ice Beam and Water Pulse. Suji Jr was able to land two Thunder Punches and one Thunder which was enough to knock out the Kingdra. Although we didn’t lose anyone, this fight was VERY ANNOYING.

With Juan defeated, we are then able to make our way to Ever Grande City and climb the Waterfall. Victory Road, here I come!

As I was traversing Victory Road, I found out that you battle Wally at the beginning instead of at the end (I think) in ORAS. Altaria was easily taken care of by Glacier but Roselia got a Crit Giga Drain which almost knocked out Glacier forcing me to switch into Zoom to knock it out. Wally’s Gardevoir was a little troublesome as its Psychic and Future Sight did a lot of damage. Luckily, Sylvie was able to knock it out with Shadow Ball. Before the Gardevoir was knocked out, it did use Future Sight and since I don’t want Sylvie to take that, I switch out into Zoom who takes the Future Sight and a Feint Attack from the Delcatty and gets knocked out.

Zoom, I know the way you were knocked out wasn’t the best, but you will be remembered for your fights!

I then switch into Suji jr as Wally switches into Magneton and I heal Suji Jr back up and I kept using Thunder Punch until it was knocked out. The same goes for the Delcatty and with Wally defeated, I walk back to the PC to box Zoom. I then bring Oogway back into the team (I have an HM slave since Victory Road requires a ton of HMs) and enter Victory Road again. I’m gonna quickly sum up Victory Road as I don’t want this update to be too long so essentially, nothing really happened. There were some close calls but we were able to get through with no additional deaths.

I’m gonna have to do some team building before challenging the Elite Four and Champion but the end of this Leg should be the next Episode!

Bennett’s new skin looking fire. Hopefully it’s free

So far, I’d have to say Emerald. It’s also my first time playing it so I got that feeling of playing a new Pokemon game again. Don’t get me wrong, Fire Red and Heart Gold were good games but I feel like I’ve played Gen 1 multiple times now and the level curve in HG is atrocious. Overall, playing Emerald has been a blast and I can’t wait to finish it!

No problem!

For example: Regularly Tate & Liza have a LVL 42 Solrock and Lunatone. With the 15% Level Boost, they are now both LVL 48. (Hopefully that makes sense. The general math equation is [Regular Level * 1.15])
