Log 3 - Lovebirds Separated

I decided to train up my Inzek, because I've always liked its evolution, Ninjask. It's going to be tough going, in all honesty, but Inzek seems pumped up to get stronger. So, after a bout of training, I decided to move onwards to Oreburgh. Along the way, there were many trainers, and none of them really put up a fight. But let me detail two very interesting events.

I had my Togepi out against a Wynaut, using Metronome. Wynaut used Encore, and I was stuck in Metronome. Haha, okay. Then I beat it with some move or other, and the Lass switched in Smeargle, which then Sketched my Metronome. We proceeded to have a Metronome battle that lasted for as long as Encore lasted (which was a pretty long time, as it turns out.) Finally, I won with Hidden Power. What a battle!

The next battle was much less celebratory. It was the Youngster near the cave. Sebastian, was it? He had only one Pokemon, a Gible. I sent out Inzek. Probably easy right? But just in case, I switched out into Noctus. Well, guess what? It was level 7, the perfect level. The level where it learns Dragon Rage, AKA the OHKO move for weaker pokemon. If he had used it straight away, every time, he would definitely have swept my whole time. What really happened was he used Tackle on Noctus, and Noctus Tackled back. This went on for a while, until the Gible finished it with a Dragon Rage. Noctus, already bruised from the battle, was blown back, and hit a tree. Furious, I switched in Aeris, who would surely avenge Noctus. After a Gust, Gible was gone at last. I then ran over to Noctus. His eyes were closed, and he was barely even breathing. I ran back to the Pokemon Center, but it was a long journey back, and by the time I got there, it was too late. Noctus was dead.

Pokemon battling is not easy at all. They are powerful creatures, and an errant attack can kill. I was almost ready to give up there and then. I released my Pokemon from their Pokeballs, and was about to release them for good. But... there was something in my Pokemon's eyes. Despite their recent loss of a team member, they looked... well, resolute. Aeris in particular had a fierce fire in her eyes. Then, I remembered. Aeris and Noctus were close, weren't they? Aeris probably feels she needs to get stronger for Noctus' sacrifice. Everything we've worked for, all the hard training we've done, it would all go to waste if I just gave up here and then. These Pokemon were tough, used to the wild. They knew the law of the land, and they knew some Pokemon die. And me... well, I was a city boy. I would have to adapt.

I've decided. I will be the strongest trainer in the world, so my Pokemon will never have to feel sorrow again. I moved on, spirited. I got an HM from a Hiker inside the cave, and it was perfect for Bidoof to use, so I taught it Rock Smash. As it turns out, both of the trainers in Oreburgh Gate used Normal-types. Child's play. Then a Zubat flew into my face, catching me by surprise. Somehow, I reacted by throwing a Pokeball at it. And... it was caught. A Zubat, huh? Difficult to raise, but the result would pay off. I named it Nightflyer.

Finally, we arrived in Oreburgh. A young kid there rambled to me about the Gym, and led me there. However, Barry was already there, staring at the door. He greeted me friendly manner as usual, but it was a bit hollow. He told me that the Gym Leader was out in the mines, then he told me how tough the Gym Leader was, and that he felt worn out. That's when I knew. He had also lost a team member. I couldn't do anything but smile back. I went in the mines, curious to see what Pokemon were there. I saw a Teddiursa. Adorable little creature, but strong too. It nearly took out my Bidoof. Then I caught it, and all was okay. I named it Oso, then the Pokeball seemingly disappeared. It probably ended up in my PC box. I had 6 Pokemon already, so I guess Oso will have to wait until I decide one of my members needs a rest.

I went to the Pokemon Center to heal up my Bidoof, then I went north. Curious. This area was a bit darker than the rest, and I got a shiver up my spine. A loud scream from behind me made me jump. I whirled around, and it was a Gastly, who started cackling. Annoyed, I sent out Jubilee, who would make short work of it with Hidden Power. But Gastly was more durable than I expected. It was a long fight, and I decided to catch this one as well. I named it Phaser, and it got sent to the box again. My collection of team members really is growing.

It was probably time to train again. I rested up at the Pokemon Center. The Gym fight was going to be really tough...
