Tried out Wonder Trading by giving out some extra Haunters and Gravelers

- Takeshi from Singapore gave me Sandshrew (did not have one)
- Misael from Mexico gave me Eevee (I can use to evolve into something at least) (it also says SPA in top right corner)
- Orion from the US gave me Panpour (the fiend!)
- SpennyCo from Canada gave me Illumise

Okay, I'm done with Wonder Trading. I moved onto becoming stylish. I'm so glad that I decided to look online because otherwise I would have started visiting boutiques. Apparently stylish in Kalos means how many skating moves you can do. My prize for being stylish is...another skating move. Well that was a waste of time. I think that I'm going to try out a Battle Cafe and look for some TMs next.

Ironically, there was a TM behind a cracked wall in the previously inaccessible area of the Lost Hotel, so maybe it was more of an inconvenience than a waste of time.

I think that Matt Schaub and Alex Smith were the only QBs traded in the past decade for early round picks that ended up working out for the teams that acquired them.

And while I don't know if I want to get Sun or Moon, I am also aware that there are Ultra versions coming out soon.

Would it make more sense to grab the original or Ultra versions? I haven't exactly seen anything article to help me understand exactly what the Ultra versions are in relation to their predecessors.

Game Time - 49:49

I ended up averaging about an hour a day.

Resuming my file, I was back at my house. Professor (Augustine?) Sycamore wanted me to meet him at the Lumiose Station. Exiting my house, Shauna was there waiting for me. She wanted to trade a Fennekin egg for any of my Pokemon. I was curious if I would see Graveler evolve into Golem, so I offered her up mine, but alas I was not privy to what happened on Shauna's end. Perhaps sometime during the post-game, she will challenge me. My new Fennekin is named Kinniekins.

This was shaping to be my easiest battle yet in whatever this building was called. Diantha was down to her final Pokemon, Gardevoir. I sent out Vespiquen, my tank. Oh fuck, Gardevoir Mega-Evolved and used a crushing Thunderbolt. Power Gem barely made a dent on Gardevoir. So I wasn't trapped in a cycle of healing Vespiquen while Gardevoir spammed Thunderbolt, I swapped out Vespiquen for Toxicroak. That didn't work out since Gardevoir got two attacks in before Toxicroak launched its first. Malamar might be my MVP of this game. There's no point in having her sit when this could get ugly in a hurry. Moon Blast nearly wrecked Malamar, but Foul Play won out in the end. The champ has fallen.

Inaugural Hall of Fame Inductees
Lv 82 Greninja
Lv 77 Vespiquen
Lv 74 Roserade
Lv 73 Malamar
Lv 65 Toxicroak
Lv 62 Vanilluxe

I have officially been given the title of Pokemon League Champion. We later see a ceremony for the "five" defenders of Kalos. Now I kind of like the kids (more Shauna than the others). I really do, but let's be honest here. I did 99% of the work, and that might be generous to Shauna, Serena, Tierno, and uhhhhhhh...that other guy. I am kicking myself because I constantly forget his name. That giant/king/mass murderer guy somehow got past security and has challenged me to a fight. I can't decline.

Greninja vs Torkoal. Hydro Cannon. Thanks for playing.
Vanilluxe vs Golurk. Ice Beam. Thanks for playing.
Malamar vs Sigilyph. Foul Play (x2). Thanks for playing.

His Floette returned. I don't care. More stuff that I don't care about shortly followed.

Game Over

It was Diantha, and the title bout begins. It is a 6-on-6 fight, but while her Pokemon are at full health and PP, mine are not. Advantage Diantha. The battle begins with Greninja vs Hawlucha. I take it that Hawlucha doesn't evolve then. For a short span of time, I forgot that Hawlucha was also a fighting type (I know that "lucha" gives it away), so I was briefly surprised when my Extrasensory made quick work of it. Next up for Diantha was Goodra, and I decided to stick with Greninja.

It was tough since Goodra's Focus Blast was devastating, but I avoided doing any ineffective attacks and took Goodra down. It was time to switch to a new Pokemon with Aurorus coming out for Diantha. Rock and ice type right? I decided Roserade was my guy despite him being one of two Pokemon to not be at full health entering the fight. Giga Drain solved my health and Aurorus problems. Next up was Tyrantrum. I vaguely remember it from another battle (reminded that Serena never used hers). Maybe it's a dark and rock type? I kept Roserade in to use Dazzling Gleam. That proved to be an excellent decision.

Next up was something called Gourgeist. Geist screams "ghost" to me, so I took out Malamar since she has a dark move, a pair of psychic moves (I think psychic is super effective against ghosts anyway), and at full health. All Gourgeist did was use Trick-or-Treat and Diantha used her first Full Restore of the battle before succumbing to the Mighty Malamar. I was owning this fight.

Dragalage was first up for Drasna and it knows Thunderbolt. Fantastic. Luckily, it only took out about a third of Greninja's health, so Greninja was able to take it out without much of a drain on its HP. The second Pokemon was again Altaria. I forgot what I used to easily take that out. I went with Vespiquen. After a couple a Sings used against me, I was finally able to try out Attack Order only to find out that bug moves weren't effective. Rock moves are though, but it might be the flying type in Altaria that makes it super effective. Power Gem eventually took care of it.

Noivern was next along with me tossing out Toxicroak. I poisoned it with Sludge Bomb, but I had to take out Toxicroak after that turn since Air Slash took away 75% of his health. Vanilluxe was also doing well until I saw Noivern use an unexpected Flamethrower. I suppose if I'm able to throw out moves you wouldn't expect from some Pokemon, I should also expect the same to happen to me. A full restore once again delayed things, but Noivern eventually went down.

Last up was Druddigon. I remember having difficulty catching it. It kept using a tail attack that swapped out my Pokemon. Toxicroak succumbed to this, but Greninja and his high speed got an attack in that KO'd the final Elite Four Pokemon. With what few healing items I had left, I revived everyone who had fainted and brought most of my team to full health. I made sure to keep a small pile left in my bag in case this champion battle goes south. I assume that the champion is that actress I met in the cafe in Lumiose. She seems to be the only viable candidate unless it is someone I haven't met yet.

Next up was Probopass. I kept Toxicroak unaware that Klefki's final move, Torment, prevented me from using Mud Bomb again. I put in Vespiquen only to find out Bug is not effective. Then it was Roserade time. A much-needed critical hit from Giga Drain vanquished Probopass and brought out Scizor. Things got ugly from there as X-Scissor one hit KO'd Malamar (only the second time I think that she's been knocked out in battle) and Vanilluxe was one hit KO'd from Bullet Punch. I had to revive Greninja who in turn KO'd Scizor with a Hydro Cannon.

The final Pokemon was something called Aegislash. I decided to keep Greninja in. Night Slash, which seems to be my go-to move for him recently, ended up being super effective. Another ill-timed Full Restore from my perspective delayed the inevitable, but Wikstrom was soon defeated. I should have bought some healing items before coming here. Assuming that this is like the other games, I am 40% of the way through this.

Third up is the woman I saw when I entered the building, fire trainer Malva. Go go Hydro Cannon! It swiftly took out Pyroar. Knowing I have to recharge after using it, I brought out Malamar to face Talonflame. The Full Restore usage is insane, but Malamar eventually took care of Talonflame. Going back to Greninja, I used in Hydro Cannon to take out Torkoal. Last up was Chandelure. I remember finding out that ghost types were weak to dark moves, so after a couple of Night Slashes later, and by far the easiest Elite 4 battle to this point was over. Last up is the dragon trainer. I have no idea what they are weak against though. I shall find out with Drasna.

Siebold first took out Clawitzer, and I took him out with a pair of Night Slashes from Greninja. Clawitzer nearly took out Greninja with an Aura Sphere though. Next up was Barbaracle, whom I never got to see in battle after Binacle evolved. If it is the same as Binacle, then it is a rock and water type. Roserade is perfect here. Because I am a dumbass who is willing to gamble to make things more interesting instead of taking the boring, easy way out all the time, I led with Venoshock only to find out that one of Barbaracle's types is strong against poison. Luckily, its Stone Edge missed, and I KO'd it with Petal Dance.

Starmie was next. I know that Roserade will keep using Petal Dance if I leave it in, and that's what I did. The result was predictable, but Roserade was now confused. Gyarados was his last Pokemon, and I countered with Malamar. Gyarados' ability was Intimidate, so my attack ending up rising. God bless Malamar! The end result was delayed thanks to two Full Restores used by Siebold, but a timely critical hit by Malamar ended the battle without Gyarados laying a fin or whatever on Malamar. Siebold is always clutching his ridiculous-looking collar, so he is either a snob or has Tourette Syndrome.

Next random door led me to the steel trainer and Cybord 009 reject Wikstrom. I don't remember what steel is weak against, so this will probably be some battle. He led off with Kleki. Using Night Slash again, it is not good against steel. I also forgot to heal up Greninja after that Aura Sphere, so Klefki took him out in a single hit. I decided to go with Toxicroak only to find out that poison doesn't affect steel at all. Tried a Mud Bomb, and that was super effective. I think that I subconsciously remembered that Toxicroak was the Pokemon to put out there.

Officially starting on Victory Road, I instantly regret not specifically asking anyone about Pokemon who can learn a lot of HMs. I am looking for Pokemon who can learn all four or at least three of Waterfall, Surf, Fly, and Cut. Strength I think has permanent effects (you don't have to push the stone slabs again), so I am not worried about that so much. As a result, I ended up going through Victory Road with only Greninja, Vespiquen, and Roserade as viable fighters given the levels of the Pokemon here. I had Malamar for a bit but swapped him out for Aurorus for his Rock Smash. I caught a Lickitung, Skamory, Geodude, Fearow, Druddigon, and Poliwhirl.

Lo and behold, Serena made an appearance. How she earned all eight badges is beyond me. Given the state of the entrance, it appears to be permanently open now, so maybe she didn't have to earn anything. She added a fifth Pokemon, so this is basically a 4-on-5 fight. Oh, the new addition is just Altaria. I fucking love Malamar's ability that reverses in-battle stat changes. Altaria used Confide, raised my special attack as a result, and died without inflicting any damage. Serena headed in the opposite direction of the Elite 4 after the fight, so I'm guessing this is it with her. I was expecting her to use a Mega Evolution somehow even though I have the ring since I remember being told she was training with the Mega Evolution guy. I swapped out Malamar for Aurorus after the fight.

Binacle soon evolved into whatever the hell a Barbaracle is, not that Binacle wasn't weird itself. I eventually found my way to the Pokemon League and was ecstatic to finally have a "true" full Pokemon roster again. The Elite Four specializes in fire, water, steel, and dragon types, and I can challenge them in any order. Choosing random doors, I ended up facing Siebold and his water types first.

The entrance to the gym in Snowbelle is now mysteriously being blocked by the leader for whatever reason. At Route 21 now, I caught Ursaring, Spinda, and Altaria. Ursaring looked so miserable at the beginning of the encounter. There were lots of strength, cut, and surf spots. After taking care of all that, I made my way to Victory Road where I stopped.

With nothing really left to do in Pokemon Village (I saw a guy blocking a cave entrance though), I went back to Snowbelle City and to its gym. I thought the buttons on the platform would move the platform and not the outer structure, and I will admit that it took some time to make my way to the end. The leader admitted that he might be a pushover. I suspect that he doesn't really like his job. Given his affinity for the Pokemon Village, perhaps he would rather live there without the burdens of human society. Maybe he's like all these other nutjobs and desperately wishes to be a Pokemon.

Well he fucking knocked out Greninja in one turn with Energy Ball + hail effect, so I guess that answers if he's going to be a pushover. I was a dumbass when it became Vespiquen vs Avalugg. I could have knocked it out in two turns with Power Gem, but I decided to see what bug moves did to ice types on the second turn. Well, Avalugg surived, knocked out Vespiquen, and things got ugly quickly for me. First, Wulfric or whatever healed Avalugg completely. Then Avalugg kept using Curse. I lost Roserade and with my remaining Pokemon, my attacks kept mysteriously missing. Wulfric ended up using another max potion/full restore. In the end, the one Pokemon that always comes through in the clutch, Malamar, took care of business. That was an ordeal.

I earned the Iceberge Badge. I'm still the only certified trainer at any gym, which I am interpreting as the only trainer to earn those badges. Surely, that means that I am the only person who will be at Victory Road and meet with the Elite Four right? I mean, what are the odds that someone like Serena will show up? Crazy right?
