UPDATE 34: Step By Step Your Destination Will Always Get Closer, As Long As You Take That Step
CHAAAAAAAANGE TRANSITION HALLWAY THREE! MISSILE STORM!
Well hey, it’s Buck. Maybe doing a favor for his friend is enough and he’ll just let us waltz on through.
Yeah, game, I know this took a while.
He does a little excited bounce like Barry does here.
So recall that I didn’t lead on the nuclear option with Bertha because the Wishcash Whishcash would stop most of it.
That… doesn’t apply here.
A-one.
A- not two?
Thunderbolt’s a good idea, but Dragon resists Electric.
A-three and a-four.
Wonder if the Earthquake is to punish whoever got here and was trying to rely on an Empoleon.
But, again, Reina’s a monster.
Although in a way it’s fitting. Reina came in clutch against Volkner, and she wipes every floor in the hemisphere with Flint.
Weirdly if Flint had had his Diamond/Pearl team of Rapidash/Steelix/Drifblim/Lopunny/Infernape he might’ve done better. At least I probably wouldn’t have only been able to lean on one Pokemon.
You take a breather then, we’ve got battles to battle.
TRANSITION HALLWAY CROSS! SWITCH ON!
ahem
I’m torn about whether to accuse him of being a nerd for reading nonfiction or whether he’s a nerd because he was nose-deep in genre.
While I, writing a Pokemon LP, stand above the petty nerds.
Not to beat dead horse but after the start yeah, I had my doubts.
Fair is fair I remember when I first played Diamond that Lucian was the Elite 4 member that forced me to adjust my team because I didn’t have good counters for some of his Pokemon.
Oh hey I think I played Magic against this guy at my local game store.
He played combo/control.
You might think, a Mr. Mime putting up barriers would be bad. But consider:
Anomalo.
So we both thought to try to buff up at the same time, but consider:
Anomalo.
In Platinum he has a Gallade, and in Diamond & Pearl he has a Medicham. Either way, he’s got something that in theory can just punch a Dark-type out.
DID YOU KNOW THAT BUG IS WEAK TO ROCK AND THAT ROCK DOES NOT RESIST ITSELF
COULD YOU INTUIT THAT BUG IS WEAK TO ROCK AND RESISTS GROUND
Okay. Okay. Okay. This is fine. What’s he going to have, an Alakazam?
…Right.
I hope six levels gives Anomalo enough of a speed advantage!
It did not.
But I bet Castellia can stall this.
Alright, let’s make sure and put the clock on this annoying thing.
See? Much less threatening.
Maybe we didn’t need the Toxic, but I’m probably not going to stop.
Poor little fox cat thing.
She can bite off a lot at once!
But I suppose, a crit is a crit.
Thing is we’re not out of strong Bug-type attacks.
HAH. Take that!
Didn’t even need for it to hit itself.
My bone-headed determination grinding my face against these challenges is real too.
In grand tradition, we’re not done here.
But… the end is in sight.
