Short-shorts + freezers = how is she still alive?
Just did fifth gym, but that was a lot of grinding and dicking around. So, the team! I think it's starting to shape well.
→ male Dewott (Yoshitsune)
→ male Zebstrika (Zeus)
→ female Munna (Almudena)
→ female Ducklett (Odetta)
→ male Darumaka (Darío)
→ female Petilil (Florina)
→ male Cottonee (Tony)
→ female Vanillite (Cornella)
→ female Tranquill (Prue)
→ male Sandile (Sandro)
→ male Timburrlake (Justin)
So I'm in a bit of a dilemma because I'm deciding on my definite grass. Tony has lame attack stat, but Florina has lame speed and HP. But the thing is, I always wanted a Petitlil because Lilligants are gorgeous. This is why I caught a random Cottonee to trade it in-game with an NPC for a Petilil and spent like an hour grinding her, so she caught up with the rest. But should I keep her, or keep the decent Cottonee instead? Decisions.
I do know that I'm exchanging Prue for Odetta the Ducklett as my flying, despite of the dangers of 4x electricity damage. First, because you can never have enough water. Second, because DUCKY and SWAN > PIDGEON and PEASANT in cuteness. Shut up, I always wanted to train a duck but never did for some reason. Anyway, I taught Fly HM to my duck.
Incidentally, only 3 HMs so far? FUCKING WEIRD. WHEN CAN I GET SURF.
Okay, so I leave the city and instead of Bianca I find Cheren challenging me. See? SEE? Three rivals are stressful! I mean, fun and all, or at least more fun thanAsch junior Silver or can't-sit-still Barry. At least the happy dorky music for Bianca/Cheren and the oontz oontz all your base your base base base for N get you pumped. Either way, we're in Road Hippie and Elesa -who continues to be a cool cat, like the ownage of Bianca's dad and the rollercoaster in her gym aren't enough- introduces us to the Hippie Champion. I mean, Alder wears a fucking poncho and listens to mellow guitar concerts. THIS IS THE GEN OF THE HIPPIES. I hope no one is smoking bitter herbs. Maybe Team Plasma is stealing weed for, um, experimental purposes.
And Cheren complains aloud, why is a champion in such a far away place anyway? DUDE, AT LEAST HE'S NOT ALL DOTDOTDOT AT THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN LIKE A CERTAIN KANTO CHAMPION I KNOW.
So well, it's character development time for Cheren, who gets Alder to tell him that Being Powerful Is Not What Being a Champion Is About. Of course, Cheren doesn't understand and is probably disappointed that his dream title is used by a poncho-wearing hippie who says weird things. But he's still mortified by the possibility of getting it wrong.
Sigh, Touko/White/Hilda/whatever. The boys in your life and their I MUST GET STRONGERRRR and their WHAT IF I WAS WRONG ALL ALONGGGG. Just punch'em in their pretty face.
So Elesa keeps being awesome and calls Texas-guy Clay to lower the bridge. Apparently he's such an asshole that he only lowers it when he feels like it or are big bucks involved. His gym is a mine, there's a market and a cold storage building. So, it's a really curious, brown city. As soon as we get there, Clay starts bitching at us because Team Plasma could escape through the bridge, and Cheren expresses my thoughts on the matter well. Well guess what, we can't battle the fat bastard until we catch Team Plasma, as we were supposed to be sooooo goood. Okay sure, but let me do some more grinding first. And I watched more hilarious TV in the houses -man, I hope the show with the weeaboo host is in the English version too! That guy is hilarious.
Oh, wait a second, it turns out they're still in the city. Wait, is this a traslation error? But if they escaped through the bridge, why are they still there? I thought they left the city? Or they escaped to INSIDE the city? I'm fucking confused. In any case, they're inside the cold storage. It's time to catch a pneumonia in short-shorts, yay! No, seriously, I die at the supermarket when I wear long pants, how the fuck does she do it?!
So after surviving the -thankfully- easiest ice mini-dungeon ever, we find... the grunts piling on one of the sages to warm him. I-- well-- should we leave? B-because you're in the middle of something and I reaaaaaaaally don't want to know about the crazy orgies you villains have. THANK YOU BYE.
A-anyway. I didn't understand that part well, but it seems they were escolting thetomodachi Pokémon they stole for Lord N and they maybe were stored in the city or maybe in the freezer or maybe not, but the point is that Clay confiscated the Pokes and they ran away and... hid in the freezer. I... fail to see the logic. I WAS FROZEN TODAY.
Death wish aside, Cheren battles half of them off-screen. The grunts were pretty happy to be beaten because they were FREEZING. Dude, of course you were, you're wearing armor and chainmail and tights. Clay takes them to the cops, and I get the fuck out of there before my character's lungs get internal frostbites. Let's grind some more before hitting the gym!
...Except they were all STILL at the gates of the gym because Ghetsis had come to pick them up. Siiiiiigh. Clay's insults are a thing of beauty, but he's... still forced to let them go without a fight because it was at the street? I. I don't really understand this game sometimes. Is Ghetsis related to Houdini or something? He keeps escaping from gym leaders without showing a pokéball. After a lot of facepalming sessions with Cheren, I go down the mine to show Clay that I am a badass. His Excadrill is a bitch, though.
And once again, I accidentally go down a road I wasn't supposed to, and Bianca comes out of fucking nowhere to the challenge she promised me aeons ago. Asdakjhdjkah at least I was healed, but still, happy-silly combat music! The best part would be getting Fly HM! Awww yeah, I can finally backtrack. I go to Juniper's lab because she had a present, except it was just a TM (bummer). Mom reveals to me that she met MC's father during his Pokémon training journey (wait, I have a father?! is he dead? are you divorced? or did he knock you up and run to the next town? nnnnnnnnnng GDI)
And I think that's it, because the rest was the Petilil thing. Oh, does anyone know what the duck feathers you pick up in the Charizard bridge are for?
